Excellent fried pork buns
Their “sen jian bao” (I have no idea what the correct pinyin is) is superb. They’re the pan fried version of xiao long bao and have yummy juice inside, just like a good xiao long bao does. The dough is thicker to hold up while pan frying, and the juice can be hot, so be careful while eating!

This sushi is SCARY
After being a successful restaurant known as TGI’s Sushi, this location changed its name to Monster Sushi, and this food is downright scary.
They increased the prices by $2, got rid of some of the menu items, and decreased the quality of the food.
My fiance and I ordered two rolls. The Volcano Scallop Roll (which used to be called the Johnny Luv) consists of a california roll, with scallop, tobiko, and a mayonnaise-based spicy sauce baked on top. I forgot the name of the second roll, but it used to be known as the Mr. Netscreen Roll (salmon and tuna around a California roll, with slices of lemon on top). The scallop roll had significantly declined in quality, using little 1/4inch pieces of scallop, instead of the full 1.5 inch round slices that used to adorn the top of each roll. The roll formerly known as Mr. Netscreen suffered a similar decline in quality—with the lemon slices being 1/4 in thick instead of the paper thin slices it used to come with. To top it all off, the ginger had dark spots on it, rendering it very unattractive.
This restaurant started out as a good restaurant, owned and operated by the same folks who ran the other TGI’s Sushis (in Campbell and Berkeley; Berkeley being the best one). They sold the restaurant to new owners, who ran it under the same name, but the portion sizes increased inversely proportional to the quality. As the final nail in the coffin, they changed their name to Monster Sushi, increased their Monster prices, and now serve appropriately Scary food.

Best beef ribs!
These beef ribs are the most tender, flavorful, and juicy I’ve ever had. It’s easy to make good baby back ribs, but beef ribs are a whole different story. Most people associate beef ribs with huge ribs that are incredibly tough to chew. Los Altos Grill, however, has perfected them; the meat falls off the bone as you bite into it. Yum.
