Mountain View, CA: Uncle Frank's BBQ - "Best BBQ in the Bay Area"

2006-12-05T22:48:08-08:00

Review of Uncle Frank's BBQ at 2135 Old Middlefield Way, Mountain View, CA 94043

Unfortunately, that’s not saying too much, as the Bay Area is sorely lacking in good BBQ. Located at the back of a bar named Francesca’s, the quality and quantity of BBQ you get here is very good, but it’s also inconsistent....

San Francisco, CA: Tartine Bakery - "All kinds of baked goodness"

2006-12-05T10:26:15-08:00

Review of Tartine Bakery at 600 Guerrero St, San Francisco, CA 94110

by JDogg:

The croissants are awesome when they’re hot—soft, flaky, everything a croissant should be.The meringues are really great too (and I hate meringues). They’re crispy on the outside, like regular meringues, and then they become soft as a marshmallow on the inside.C...

Los Gatos, CA: Forbes Mill Steakhouse - "Get the blackened ribeye"

2006-12-05T09:52:11-08:00

Review of Forbes Mill Steakhouse at 206 N Santa Cruz Ave, Los Gatos, CA 95030

by JDogg:

The blackened ribeye is no doubt the best item on the menu. Second is the kobe (wagyu) ribeye if it’s available. Don’t bother getting the regular grilled ribeye—you will be disappointed.

by JDogg:

My fiance and I came here for dinner on a weeknight, and we ordered beef tartare and roast chicken.The beef tartare was served with buttered and grilled crostini, and the flavors and textures complimented each other very well. We ran out of crostini halfway through, and our waiter repla...

Los Altos, CA: Los Altos Grill - "Best beef ribs!"

2006-12-05T09:26:52-08:00

Review of Los Altos Grill at 233 3rd St, Los Altos, CA 94022

by JDogg:

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;...

Review of Monster Sushi at 2595 California St. #c, Mountain View, CA 94040

by JDogg:

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 ...

Sunnyvale, CA: Shanghai Flavor Shop - "Excellent fried pork buns"

2006-10-27T16:27:38-07:00

Review of Shanghai Flavor Shop at 888 Old San Francisco Rd., Sunnyvale, CA 94086

by JDogg:

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 caref...

Review of Tres Potrillos Taqueria at 670 N Fairoaks Ave, Sunnyvale, CA 94085

by JDogg:

I don’t know how this store survives when the taqueria inside Chavez Supermarket (next door) is so much better.

Sunnyvale, CA: Kampai House - "Looks good, tastes okay"

2006-10-27T16:09:51-07:00

Review of Kampai House at 595 E. El Camino Real, Sunnyvale, CA 94087

by JDogg:

With a selection in the Bay Area that includes Tanto, Gochi, and Yume-Ya, this place is not worth coming to. It’s expensive and not impressive. The decor is nice, though.
