-Shrimp Sliders
-Loco Moco
-Garlic Shrimp Plate
-A Teri-chicken rice plate that was on the daily specials.

We have not had one mediocre dish yet.
Here's a pic I took of their menu.( Before they had paper menus)

I live very close by and will work my way up their entire menu eventually happy.gif

I think the cukui tacos are next on my "try" list. I'm still stuck on the Kahlua sliders!

Looking for some awesome molé chicken. The best I've had so far in my area is at La Pinata in Hayward (...and San Leandro). I'm sure there's gotta be spots that are even better. Speaking of Mexican food, I just discovered Papalote on the Mission about a month ago. I love that spot. Their "Mexi-Pino" chicken adobo burrito is pretty bomb. I got addicted to their orange salsa and bought jars of it at Whole Foods! Hell, I think it's dethroned La Vic's as my sauce of choice. *puts on flame suit* Haha.

Couple new spots I heard about:

Hakkasan (5 star cantonese dining, $100 a head easy)
House of Pancakes (Taiwanese/Chinese)


Anybody got any good spots in the financial district? Tired of eating at the same usual spots.

Try
B & M Mei Sing Restaurant on 2nd (between Stevenson St & Jessie St)
The main dishes I usually get is

-Won Ton noodle soup with Shrimp
-Tomato Shrimp Chow Mein
-Gon lo mein. Wonton, shrimp, and beef.



I never really venture away from these dishes. I've been eating there since I was 6-7. And it’s been consistent (food wise). Yelp wise, it's all subjective.

laugh.gif that place is literally across the street from my office. Been meaning to try it, but was never sure if it's legit Chinese food or panda express type.

Cafe Venue, Sentinel, the Golden West, Marruci's, and Ramen Underground are my usual places to grab lunch.

Ever since I was small, I would go there with my dad. He used to work around the corner from there. Since he retired, I still crave B&M. And go there every once in a while. I never order anything on the hot table. When I first met my wife, I took her there to order the same 3 dishes. She also agrees that they make those 3 dishes the best. The tomato shrimp chow mein is off the hook. No other place can make it like them. They set the benchmark. I highly suggest you try it.

Yup, I've been i can argue their Xiao Long Bao is just as good (if not better and more affordable) than Din Tai Fung's (Taiwan/East LA Proper). Honorable mentions to their green onion pancake and lamb dumplings.

Since you like Steakhouse's I'm more impartial to Ruth Chris's over Morton's and Fleming's (however during restaurant week the Filet Migon was worth the hype).
Granted I went to Alexander's but I feel like unless I get to try their Kobe Beef (and Bone Marrow) Steak. Their dry-aged Ribeye, didn't leave that much of an impression for me to want to purchase it again (I'm also biased since I cook steaks fairly regularly).

For fine dining spots in the Bay Area try these as alternatives:
-Commis (North Oakland/Piedmont Hills, CA)
-Chez Panisse (North Berkeley; Gourmet Ghetto, CA), once they re-open
-Fleur De Lys (San Francisco, Nob Hill; Hubert Keller's Flagship)
-French Laundry (Yountville, Napa Valley, CA; Thomas Keller's Flagship)
-Keiko a Nob Hill (original Sous of TK's French Laundry)
-Jardinere (classically french trained Tracy Jardin's spot)
-Atelier Crenn (a recent gastronomy fine dining spot)
-State Bird Provisions (an up and coming Little Tokyo Haute cuisine destination)

I've got more if you need em, just let me know smile.gif

Would any NT'ers be interested if I hosted a food tour in their respective parts of the Bay? Let me know!

Personal I think Morton's is slightly overrated and I'd definitely put Ruth Chris over Morton's. Never been to Flemings.

Indian Food: 

 

SF-

 

Chutney's

Pakwan

Berkeley-

 

Viks Chaat

http://www.yelp.com/biz/viks-chaat-berkeley

 

 

These are my all time favorites, Viks is for specialty items, think snacks and sweets. Chutneys and Pakwan are full blown cuisines, and good ones at that.

Just went recently and the best dish to me was their pork belly without the additional side toppings on it. Everything was sort of a manifesto of a single focus in which a dish should be (the chicken and crispy beef tripe, was spicy), the fried rice was salty and etc.

Sounds like I got some legwork to do. I was thinking of doing East Bay and then San Francisco into two parts (SF and SSF/South Peninsula) followed by San Jose as a finisher. The only problem is most places are a bit far to do public transportation so I would have to coordinate people to driving to certain centralized spots and then we would all go together in a few cars/vans/trucks like a food caravan, if you all are really game. I scope the logistics on it after trying something similar when I lived in LA.
