Chinese Food

My Top Chinese Food Choices

Zhangliang Malatang (Downtown Mountain View/Downtown Berkeley: best custom soup/stir fry)

Zhangliang Malatang is a casual make-your-own-hot-pot place in several locations in the Bay Area including places like Berkeley and Mountain View. I love selecting my own hot pot ingredients and choosing my ideal spiciness!

Fu Lam Mum (Mountain View: Best variety in an elegant setting)

Sweet and Sour Chicken from Fu Lam Mum

Fu Lam Mum is a relatively fancier Chinese restaurant that specializes in delicious food, served in its elegant dining room. It's a fine dining experience available in downtown Mountain View.

Seasons Noodles & Dumplings Garden (Mountain View: Best dumplings)

Pork with cabbage dumplings

Seasons Noodles and Dumplings Garden is a somewhat casual place to get Chinese dumplings and noodles in downtown Mountain View. These dumplings are hard to beat!

Hong Kong East Ocean Seafood Restaurant  (Berkeley: Best seafood options and fanciest)

Stir-fried scallops and asparagus

Hong Kong East Ocean Seafood Restaurant is a luxurious Chinese restaurant with fresh seafood and an incredible view from its dining room. It is a fine dining experience, but you get what you pay for!

The Noodle: Downtown Berkeley's small, fast, and casual take on yummy Thai food

Image
The Noodle The Noodle is one of Berkeley's hidden gems nestled into the downtown area serving lunch and dinner every day of the week except for Monday. A small, casual and down-to-earth Thai eatery that make flavor-packed food at a snappy pace, this is the place to go when you are hungry and craving an exotic yet still homey and comforting plate of Thai food.     The lunch and dinner menu is extensive; you will find a variety of salads, soups, stir-fries, appetizers, and noodle dishes, all created in their signature authentic Thai style. You can customize the spiciness of the dishes to your own spice tolerance. The freshly prepared food will be served hot in an aesthetically pleasing style.    Because of the welcoming environment and quality of the food, it's a great place to branch out and try new dishes. I am always finding new favorites. For example, my long-time favorites at this restaurant were the larb and the Pad Thai, but then I tried the Pad See Ew and fell ...

Image
Dessert N Spice This cute little bakery can be found along University Avenue in Berkeley. The bakery is not large, so there are only about three tables and a few more stools along the bar against the wall. It's a nice place to stop for or pick up a sweet treat. Entering the bakery, you will see sunlight streaming through the big windows and three big glass cases illuminated by bright lights. Inside these cases are premium pastries like specialty cakes, muffins, baklava, croissants, cookies, and macaroons. Each one looks like a work of art.  They also serve caffeinated beverages. They have an americano, a caramel macchiato, a latte, a caramel latte, a dark mocha, a white chocolate mocha, steamed milk, hot chocolate, and chai tea.

The service is very good; the people are polite, and ...

iniBurger: Juicy and Halal burger chain capturing the hearts of the SF Bay?

Image
iniBurger I enjoyed my trip to iniBurger, the Halal burger chain that has several locations around Northern California. It was my first time trying this place, and I was very impressed. It is a brightly colored restaurant where you can order and pay either at the counter or on one of their kiosks. They serve burgers, chicken sandwiches, wings, and fries. The prices are not displayed on the menus on display behind the counter, but they stay in a reasonable range, for the most part between $10 and $20.  There is room to sit in their brightly colored restaurant or outside. The music is relatively loud inside, and the atmosphere is lively and fun.   I ordered the Americano burger and had to admit it was a succulent and enticing creation. It was a juicy burger with a special sauce that tasted like pepper. I could taste the charred edges of the patty and the salty, savory seasonings on it. The cheese was gooey, salty, and sweet while the lettuce and pickles were slightly crunch...
