Mountain View, CA: Yellow Ginger - "Away from Castro"

2007-08-17T13:22:24-07:00

Review of Yellow Ginger at 311 Moffett Blvd, Mountain View, CA 94043-4725

Downtown Mountain View tends to have new restaurants pop up on a monthly basis. Just outside of Castro Street, you rarely find successful restaurants. Yellow Ginger sits in a spot that was a chinese noodle house for the longest time that I can remember. It then was Baba Neo, which didn̵...

Palo Alto, CA: Izzy's Brooklyn Bagels - "Kosher takes a turn for the worse."

2007-05-18T13:03:04-07:00

Review of Izzy's Brooklyn Bagels at 477 S California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94306-1832

by westbaybanjo:

This place is an absolute circus. I came here because it use to be a favorite bagel stop of mine. Low and behold, the bagel shop is gone and now it’s Izzy’s. Okay. I can live with that. Let’s give this place a try. I order the american breakfast, which is suppose ...

Santa Monica, CA: Library Ale House - "People watching and drinking"

2007-04-29T18:59:44-07:00

Review of Library Ale House at 2911 Main St, Santa Monica, CA 90405

by westbaybanjo:

On old main street in santa monica, the library ale house is a good place to get drinks, watch a game on the tube, grab some food, or do all three. Not to mention, people watch. You are in west LA.

Los Angeles, CA: Manpuku Tokyo BBQ - "Not so Korean BBQ..."

2007-04-29T18:53:33-07:00

Review of Manpuku Tokyo BBQ at 2125 Sawtelle Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90025-6249

by westbaybanjo:

Manpuku is set up similarly to a korean bbq restaurant. You can order a variety of meat, seafood, veggies, and unique items to bbq yourself at your table. The wait staff was prompt and polite. The bbq fans weren’t too loud so that you can have a sensible conversation with the pe...

Palo Alto, CA: Hattoriya - "Passing By..."

2007-04-29T18:45:03-07:00

Review of Hattoriya at 799 San Antonio Rd, Palo Alto, CA 94303-4801

by westbaybanjo:

My wife and I literally stumbled on this place as we were looking for a place to eat. As you walk into Hattoriya, it reminds you of someone’s house, but not quite. As most true japanese restaurants go, there’s one tv playing some japanese sitcom, game show, or cartoon. Mos...

West Hollywood, CA: Pink Berry - "Better alternative to ice cream"

2007-04-29T18:37:34-07:00

Review of Pink Berry at 868 Huntley Dr, West Hollywood, CA 90069

by westbaybanjo:

Heard about this so-cal fad and was able to try it while down in santa monica for work. Being a nor-cal guy, I’m always sceptical about so-cal fads. My friend and I headed over to the Pinkberry near the Sawtelle area after dinner. The line of people was about 20 deep. We ...

Mountain View, CA: Kappo Nami Nami - "NamiNami not Kappo"

2007-04-15T17:35:27-07:00

Review of Kappo Nami Nami at 240 Castro St, Mountain View, CA 94041

by westbaybanjo:

Japanese kappo cuisine is typically suppose to have the customers sitting facing the chef. One benefit is to see the food being prepared and having the dish immediately served to you. At NamiNami, the only area you can see a chef is at the small sushi bar (seating for maybe 4 people) ...

Princeton, NJ: Witherspoon Grill - "Princeton Outlet"

2007-03-15T11:16:56-07:00

Review of Witherspoon Grill at 57 Witherspoon St, Princeton, NJ 08542

by westbaybanjo:

The Witherspoon Grill is located in the heart of Princeton, about 2 blocks from campus, and neighboring the Princeton library. The restaurant is very nice looking and the bar is well equipped. This is a good place to hang at the bar, or have a nice dinner.

San Mateo, CA: Hokkaido Seafood Buffet - "am i in hong kong?"

2007-03-15T11:08:20-07:00

Review of Hokkaido Seafood Buffet at 2200 Bridgepointe Pkwy, San Mateo, CA

by westbaybanjo:

I can never do buffets quite right. My experience at Hokkaido was no different. This place is in the same site that the old Scores sports bar use to be. The food served here is a combination of sushi, chinese and korean food. I think this place is chinese owned, considering most of the peo...
