What I ate:
  • *****

    Large dish of pasta with sausage, cheese and marinara sauce. I couldn’t tell that the sausages were made from boar meat. They tasted like regular sausages to me. Thumbs up! I would order this again if I have a pasta craving.

Il Postale

Dec 1, 2006 Link

Best Italian-American Bistro in the South Bay

This little shop in downtown Sunnyvale used to be a local post office, hence the name Il Postale. The have a small outdoor eating area pefect for summer or dry winter days (space heaters provide warmth). The service is friendly and the decor is just perfect for this restaurant. This is an excellent place to have a date or bring friends to.

Sushi YA Restaurant

Nov 29, 2006 Link

Small japanese shop on univeristy

Very small japanese food on university ave. The service there was friendly, and it might be worth a look if you aren’t into the big noisy atmosphere of Miyake’s just a few blocks away.

What I ate:
  • ****

    BBQ eel with dry seaweed on top, with a base of rice underneath. Very tasty and fresh eel. A bit on the expensive side, but well worth it if you like eel.

  • **

    The tofu was not fried long enough.

CHAAT CAFE

Nov 27, 2006 Link

Oh sala, I love this place!

Chaat Cafe is the best Indian fast (semi-fast) food joint ever. You can order items a-la-carte or as a dinner meal. The place is clean and bright, with friendly serving staff.

Fast food joint = no tip = :D

Sgd Tofu House

Nov 27, 2006 Link

Sgd = So good damnit!

The restaurant is clean and bright. There’s usually a small line (10-15 min wait), but the turn around is fast. The walls are lined with children’s drawings which gives the place a friendly warm atmosphere. The service is excellent and friendly.

Your meals always come with lots of appetizer dishes (kim chee, daikon, bean sprouts, cucumber, cold soup, unidentified korean picked vegetables…), and 5 second melon gum at the end of your meal.

What I ate:
  • ****

    What can I say? Standard tofu soup! Yummy! Be sure to get your bowl medium or hot if you like spices. The mild is too bland in my opinion.

What I ate:
  • ***

    This steak was topped with daikon and another garnish I was not able to name (it was spicy and orange). The steak came with ponzu dipping sauce and was served on a sizzling platter. It was decent steak, but I think next time I’ll stick with a sushi.

    I wasn’t wow-ed with this dish, and it was my first time having a cream croquette. I prefer the regular non-cream croquette.

Melts in your mouth, not in your hands

    The Toro was the day’s special sushi. Oh man…. it was really good and the piece was large. It just melted inside your mouth. I am drooling =D~. The price for the nigiri was $14.

Kampai House

Nov 10, 2006 Link

worth a try? maybe....

New japanese fusion restaurant on El Camino has a decor worthy of being on Santana Row but the food is just decent.

I will need to return here to test the sushi rolls. Update to come when I return.

Service was good.

What I ate:
  • ***

    I had the tuna sashimi and the chicken. The tuna tasted quite normal until i saw a hair on one of them. The chef promptly gave me a new meal so I was satisfied. Despite the snafu, i believe the restaurant was clean and deserves another chance.
