PARKING: decent parking, it's around other places so it is in a lot but if it is a busy time it would be pretty hard to try and get a space. PLACE: fairly big, but not too big, would have to combine a few chairs and tables to accommodate to bigger parties, the sauces and everything are already on the table, so are the dishes as well. FOOD: We got the ultra, Tom Yum Tonkotsu & Shiro Miso Soymilk - Tom Yum tasted really good and it paired well with the meat, the Shiro Miso just tasted more like miso soup than actual soy milk mixed in. American Wagyu & Black Angus Beef Toro - I feel like the American Wagyu was a little too fatty for my liking, or it could be the other way around lol, I kind of don't remember which one was which but one had amazing marbling that melted in your mouth. We also got lychee beer, which was super good, didn't even taste like beer. We had like 3 glasses which is funny because we aren't drinkers but it was so delicious. I recommend any of their fruity beers. Edamame - don't really recommend, comes cold and some pieces were not really good.

I've been to this location a few times and it's usually a pretty pleasant time but recently the…read moreservice and broth quality has taken a bit of a turn. We came in with a party of six for dinner on a Monday evening when the restaurant was relatively quiet, with only a few other tables occupied. We asked if it would be possible to combine tables so our group could order multiple broths and enjoy the meal together because sharing one pot for a party of 6 gets a little crowded, but the request was denied despite there appearing to be plenty of available space. As the meal progressed, our broth became extremely cloudy and thick from cooking. We politely asked if we could receive a fresh pot of the same broth--not a different broth, just a new pot so we could continue enjoying our meal. Unfortunately, this request was also denied. The broth flavoring was also underwhelming and started to taste the same after our first refill. What made the experience disappointing was the lack of flexibility and willingness to accommodate reasonable requests, especially during a slow service period. Customer service and hospitality are an important part of the dining experience, and we left feeling that our concerns were dismissed rather than addressed.

Really glad I found Morning Crane. This was honestly one of those places I didn't even realize I…read morehad been looking for until I experienced it. It's in a cute upstairs space in downtown Willow Glen, and the second you walk in it just feels peaceful. It has a calming atmosphere that makes you slow down for a minute. I went in for an evaluation because I've been dealing with some pretty intense foot and ankle pain. Christine spent time asking questions and really trying to understand what my body has been through instead of jumping straight into treatment. I appreciated that she looked at everything as a whole rather than just focusing on where it hurt. She scanned my body and also performed fire cupping where it made sense. I left feeling so much better than when I walked in. I also know this probably isn't a one-visit fix, and I actually appreciated that there weren't any unrealistic promises--just a plan to help my body continue healing. If you're looking for a more holistic approach to caring for your body, I'd definitely recommend checking this place out. I'll absolutely be back.

It was my first time seeing Christine, and she was kind about me being tardy. We did an intake session and then she used the short time we had left (due to me being late) for a massage. Christine first focused on my shoulders and neck where I hold pain. She incorporated stretches into the deep tissue massage. I had a heat lamp on my feet to warm them and relaxing music played overhead. I relaxed in no time. Next she massaged my face and jawline, reminding me occasionally to breathe deeply. It felt wonderful. I had a mild migraine when we started and it was gone when we were done. Christine is very personable and well educated in holistic healing practices. I'm looking forward to returning and also plan to look into her qigong classes.

Master Song is very professional, knowledgeable, and truly dedicated to teaching traditional kungfu. What we appreciate most is his attention to detail and his patience with children. He cares not only about helping students improve their techniques, but also about building discipline, confidence, focus, and good habits. Over the past three years, we've seen tremendous growth in our son, both in his kungfu skills and in his confidence and perseverance.

We highly recommend Master Song to any family looking for a caring and skilled Kung Fu coach.

It's going to sound pretty radical to say that my life has changed since I started coming here, but…read moreit has. My relationships are better, my work is better, my body is better, my skin is better, and I feel stronger and more balanced. I daresay I'm even happier. ;-) I'm a Feng Shui Consultant, so I know all about "zen". However, living in a beautiful Feng Shui environment PLUS doing Medical/Exercise Qi Gong & Acupuncture on your body, is like living in a state of perfect balance. Qi Gong is very much like doing Feng Shui on your body. They both are based on the I-Ching, The Five Elements, and many similar precepts. I've been going to Zen for Medical Qi Gong since October, 2011. She is deeply wise beyond her years. I've seen Kaile twice for Acupuncture, and she's wonderful and very caring. I've also seen Yoevita twice for acupuncture, and she has a "hands on" approach (which I like) and she does a bit of shiatsu where necessary. Yoevita also saw me on a rather emergency basis when I had a migraine, which I *totally* appreciated. I've done the Group Qi Gong Exercise in Los Gatos, which is led by Craig and Zen, so I can also vouch for the fact that Craig is very good at what he does. You really can't go wrong with this clinic. It also has very nice Feng Shui. ;-)

Nothing fancy, but run with love. Ron Lew (http://www.tigereyeclaw.com/) runs this center and…read moreteaches various forms of martial arts, namely Tai Chi. I met him through classes taught at Google, and am trying to get more healthy movement in my life, and his school is in San Jose, next door to my hood. I'm taking Tai Chi, technically, and he teaches the Chinese and Tibetan forms. I'm learning the Chinese since he teaches it at Google so I should stay consistent. My preference is Qi Gong, which I feel is more meditative and simpler in terms of movement (I like simple), but both are gentle enough forms and I am open to learning. One room has a firmer rubber mat, the second room has a "waterbed" format where the mat is stuffed with some soft material and walking on it forces your feet and body to constantly renegotiate equilibrium. Definitely a work out! Ron is a very Western-style teacher. He's said he's third generation Chinese and doesn't speak Chinese fluently, so, he's approaching things from a Western mind set I guess and can "translate." Examples - when he tries to describe the weight distribution of your feet he will often resort to % descriptions, and I think he knows a Western/American mind understands that logic better than other descriptions. He explains why he's asking you to do things, and why you are performing certain forms in a certain way. He is jokey, friendly, open, and conversational. He will test you gently by walking away and leaving you to figure out forms he's taught you, or ask you to do the forms with your eyes closed. He wants you to enjoy the forms versus to become overly fixated on perfection/military precision. That being said, he will correct you on incorrect form and movement. Am definitely enjoying myself and have referred a friend to his class already. I'm hoping it continues to work out and that we stick to it and enjoy it for the long term!

the center in question is not correct. The so call Tibetan was taught by me. We parted ways…read more The thing you must understand if you choose to is this. He did never meet my teacher. That is not true. My teacher was in Tibet. So therefore he could never have met my teacher. Second the Tibetan he teaches he does not have full authority and lacks the understanding of the teaching. Also he call a Lopon is a high title given to tantric masters. He did not go through the rites or transmission. It is disrespectful. Third to not name me but to try to make me go away by calling me a disciple. Rather I was given full rights as a holder and master. Full master. If you choose to learn fine just know there are Tibetan that are offended but choose to let it go. This all I have to say except he is not willing to talk directly about it. It is fully out of integrity. Just letting everybody know. In 1981, Sifu Lew met Master Peng-si Yu and his wife, Min Ouyang from Shanghai. He also met Master Hu from Tibet. For over 20 years, Sifu Lew was heavily into the external Kung-fu. He furthered his studies in the internal arts: the "calming the Mind and Healing art" through Qi Gong, long hours of Standing Meditation, Breath work and Tibetan Energy understanding. He founded Ti Aki in the honor of my teacher. This would have my teacher turning in his Grave. Just so you know.

Andrea is an awesome coach who continues to amaze us! Amit, Troy, Chris, Sergey, Marziya, and Jason have all taught me so much in Krav. Ilya's Hyrox and Fighter Flow classes are fun and a great workout! He also has a cook book that explains easy and healthy recipes! Manny's Boot Camp/kickboxing classes are always intense and will leave you sore. James' DEKA class was creative, hard and definitely worth a try!

We often compare what we are all doing in class during the week. I can't forget Neal, the owner! And Carrie at the front desk! They always make us feel welcome and at home! I joined the Locked In For Summer Challenge that they organized at ASD. It has helped me stay focused on my nutrition and fitness goals. And has helped me meet some new friends! Overall, ASD is a super special place. I'm so glad my family found it and I'd recommend it to anyone interested!

I came to this gym on their trial period, and I have to say, they are VERY generous with the 2-week…read morefree trial, which is honestly pretty rare! What I really liked about this gym was the variety of classes they offer. You can try different types of workouts and figure out what you enjoy without having to commit right away. They also let you borrow gloves and other equipment for free during the trial classes, which I thought was a really nice touch. I ended up trying the HIIT and DEKA classes, which were my favorites, and most of the coaches I had were really great. Unfortunately, my experience with one of the kickboxing classes wasn't as good. I specifically asked multiple times beforehand if it was okay that I was a complete beginner, and I was told that it was totally fine. However, when I showed up, pretty much everyone else already knew what they were doing, so I naturally felt a little intimidated. I also wasn't given much guidance despite being a first-timer. What really bothered me was that the coach called me "silly" when I wasn't able to follow the instructions. I understand that a fast-paced class can be challenging for beginners, but I didn't think making fun of someone who was trying something for the first time was appropriate, and it definitely put a damper on the experience. One other thing I wish they had was a proper locker room or changing area. They have gender-neutral bathrooms, but they didn't feel clean or comfortable enough to change clothes in, especially if you're coming straight from work. I really liked the variety of classes and the generous trial period, and most of my experiences with the coaches were positive. I just wish the beginner experience was a little more welcoming and that they had a better space for changing.
