I got the crispy pork belly banh mi for $12 and it was a pretty good size sandwich with lost of pork belly chunks. It was also packed with lots of carrots, lettuce and daikon. I added some mayo at home. It needed some kind of sauce because the sandwich was a bit dry despite having lots of veggies. The carrots and daikon did not taste like they were pickled. The bread was toasty crispy crust but soft on the inside. Got it to go as it was close to closing time. Nice dining area. Clean, inviting and spacious. They also sell their dimsim frozen. I heard from the staff talking to another customer that the restaurant has the same owner as Ginger Cafe which was about a mile away.

Could not find the disclaimer on menu or in store, aside from 15% for tables of 6 or more. We were a table of 4. We used to go here 10 to 15 years ago back in its heyday with lines out the door when a bowl 2/5th of the current price. Currently, the food is alright. I liked how the beef noodle soup isn't fatty now, but noodles lacked any chew. Stir fried rice cake had lots of vegetables, but kinda wet and no wok taste. Deep fried tofu was soft inside and crispy, very lightly seasoned. Maybe the clay pots are more popular now. Overall, didn't like the feeling of unexpected charges, or feeling pressured why didn't give more tip for mediocre service and food. 3 stars since they removed it/cancelled prior charge after stating our reasons, but also not everyone has a six figure income single-family. Just increase base price. Wasn't bad, but nothing exceptional. Anyways, there's a $1 discount if you also order a tea from their Tea Era for dine-in!! And Tea Era prices pretty good for what you get.

The alleyway in the middle of the block was closed for construction and walked around the block to cross Castro. It's a cozy table, bench and counter setup. Some of the tables are used for prep by the staff. I ordered the spicy beef stew noodles which was brought shortly. Lots of tender stewed beef chunks with tendon in a shoyu based broth with flecks of chili pepper flakes to make it "spicy". The noodles were wide, flat and nicely chewy. I kicked it up with the chili sauce at the table, which was spicy and had a fresh chili pepper taste. I paid at the register upon leaving. The food was tasty, filling and a good value. A Castro St. icon and repeatable.

Went to Microcenter to pick up some networking components and on the way back to the car saw a…read moreposter advertising a new menu item: stinky tofu. I like stinky tofu and used to get it at Southland Flavor Cafe before they closed down. The Southland version didn't compare to the Michelin-starred place in Taipei, but it was good, if not quite stinky as I would have liked. I didn't have high expectations for this stinky tofu, because it looked like a different type and was in what appeared to be a soupier broth, based on the poster, but went ahead and got two orders to-go, sight unseen, as I knew every member of the family would want to try it. When I cracked open the container, I was hit with the strong waff of the fermented tofu and it wasn't the soupy broth, but more of a drier sauce, like closer to the Michelin stuff in,Taipei, if not drier. It was a touch spicy, and the stinky level was stronger than version I got at Southland. If Southland was 5/10 and the Michelson was a 10/10, I would give this a solid 8/10. If you love stinky tofu, this is a great version without having to fly to Taiwan. Very surprised by it, in a great way!

Solid place for Cantonese food. They have set combos for a very reasonable price and the dishes are…read morealways good. We particularly like the 2A combo which comes with lobster (with ginger & scallions), salt & pepper pork chop, and stir fried mixed seafood. We're also a big fan of the cashew shrimp. They have some dim sum options, although the regular Chinese food dishes is their main bread and butter. The fried rice is a huge portion size! Good amount of seating inside, ranging from larger round tables to a handful of comfortable booths that would seat up to 4 adults. Staff is attentive, but mostly hands off except delivering dishes to you. Parking is easiest in the public lot right behind the restaurant, although there is sporadic street parking out front as well, although they are walkable from any of the public lots in MV. One of our favorite places for solid and consistent Cantonese dishes. Usually there isn't a wait, even during peak dining hours, which makes it super convenient.

Beef chow fun tasted bland, lobster was tasty and the Peking duck was alright. The buns for the duck were just right. This is a good place to dine for Cantonese style cuisine.

The one dish that stood out the most for me is the red curry with tofu. It is not the generic dish you get at most thai places. This is unique in the type of ingredients they used.

Food was spicy exactly how we enjoyed it. Medium spicy can be a little spicier than usual, but we enjoyed it. Totally coming back to try more!

I haven't been coming to Bento Express for a while so we decided to come by and grab some of their…read moredelicious bento for lunch. It wasn't as busy as I remembered it but nonetheless, I was very much looking forward to grabbing my bento. Lining up, the young lady asked me if I was with the party in front of me. "No", I said. She continued to ask me twice to which I continued to say "no". Afraid that she's confused, I said, "I'm by myself and I will be ordering a bento alone". She then skipped me and asked the person behind me and started taking his order? I was appalled and I gave her a weird look of discontent. She didn't stop and basically just skipped me. It literally took me a minute to realize what has just happened and you can imagine the feeling you felt if it ever happened to you. I could have: A. Make a scene about it and give them a piece of my mind B. Take the high road I took the high road. The bento wasn't as delicious as it was last I remembered it and with plenty of bento spots close by, it's a hard sell especially with how disrespectful this interaction was made me realize why the line was a lot shorter this time around. On a different day I may give them a piece of my mind, but not today. It doesn't seem like it was the first time this has occurred and the lady that took the order of the person behind me first went hiding in the kitchen afterwards. A seemingly polite act of disengaging conflict from her while running away from responsibility thinking conflicts will disappear doesn't work. Sometimes, just a little apology goes a long way and perhaps that's what they need to boost the business more. As for me, I don't care how good it is, I just don't tolerate this type of behavior and I won't be coming back. If you were me, what would you have done?
