View ArticleWonton Noodle Soup - SF Dish of the Month (April 2013)
I love wonton noodle soup. I used to always get it at Lam Hoa Thoan when I lived in the upper Haight. (It's close enough in the Richmond) I love their wide chewy egg noodles. I know they aren't made...

View ArticleBelated (and long) report from Van Hound's 11th eating trip to SF Bay area
Good to hear. We're going a bit later than usual this year but still haven't been in the summer. That's when we get our little bit of good weather for the year, so we tend to stay home : -). I read...
View ArticleSonoma lunch at winery w/Vegetarian options
Ahhh, yes. I was on the wrong side of the mountain. However, I do think Lotus should stick to the picnic idea. One can always go to a restaurant but a picnic in the wine country is special.
View ArticleIs it just me or is it rather difficult to find good steak in the Bay Area?
At the FM at least, the Knee Deep meat is labeled as such. The PR cattle are raised in pasture, so they are grassfed, just not for the entirety of their lives. BTW, your description of the PR burger...
View ArticleWhere would you take SF friends in Oakland for dinner
Generally I've found Korean food in Oakland better and more diverse than in SF, but: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/898705
View ArticleForge Pizza now open (Oakland)
If you like Dopo, you might want to try Benchmark, in Kensington. The chef-owner developed Dopo's dough recipe. http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/869600
View ArticleSome new things in downtown San Jose
Oops, should have mentioned that too: no packaged food, unfortunately. But yes, they do have kitchenware, so at least it's not completely OT...
View ArticleFirst-rate Korean in SF?
Thank you for this thread and recommendations. Won't get to many of these within the next month, but will come back to report later. My Tofu House is always packed. Haven't been back in a while. We...
View ArticleNatural by Nature grass-fed milk?
The nearest distributors seem to be in Colorado and Washington. You could call and ask. http://www.natural-by-nature.com/states/ca.htm Have you tried Straus? Seems like NbN has similar practices. The...
View ArticleA90 - Berkeley [now "Build"]
I stopped by for lunch today, but they're understaffed and won't be open for lunch for at least a month (the door was open and the manager was inside). Prices look very good, $7.95 for a base-level...
View ArticleSliver PIzzeria and other new pizza places in Berkeley
Well apparently most are ok with it but not everybody. In some cases they have the same supplier, so literally the same ingredient stream. All the Arizmendis are coops too, right? While Sliver is a...
View ArticleMiss Ollies in Old Oakland now open for dinner
It wasn't so much that I tasted it but I saw the sprig under the skin (also there last night). It definitely wasn't a sage leaf. Maybe chefj can tell us what s/he learned.
View ArticleK-Pop , Castro St, [Mountain View] - ok
Korean + Healthy scares me. The website looks as appealing as Fresh Choice. Do you recommend it? The Korean I've visited twice, in that area, is in Los Altos across from Chef Chiu / Armadillo Willy's...
View ArticleMichael Bauer on Chinese Food
Bush, right. My memory was a block off. There's another in the Ferry Building that has very little in common with the one on Bush, which is similar to the now-closed one that was in the mall at 5th and...
View ArticleAssemble, Richmond
I had dinner there a week or so back. I agree with you on the space and music. I too wasn't impressed with the food. Lots of comfort food options: chicken pot pie, vegetable pot pie, cobb salad, fried...
View ArticleToyose in SF?
+1 on the kimchi fried rice w/ egg I assumed they'd be packed near midnight on a Saturday, but there were lots of tables available a few weeks back. The chicken wasn't as good as I'd...
