"The scallion pancakes at Joy Restaurant, in Foster City, are very good and crisp (not doughy and not oily either). If I recall correctly, it's the one version I've had in the area that's the most similar to the home-cooked Taiwanese style I grew up eating." – abstractpoet

"Goi ngo sen tom thit aka lotus root w/shrimp, lean pork loin, & mint with fish sauce dressing—this is served with large crispy shrimp chips. Again a sentimental choice for me: I had it for the first time at Vung Tau many years ago. Love the various textures of pickled baby lotus roots, micro thin slices of red onion, steamed shrimp, a bit of crispy shallots and thin slices of pork loin with what looked and tasted like rau ram rather than what I think of as 'mint' and the shrimp chips." - RWCFoodie revisits the San Jose favorite and picks the best dish

"I am no sushi expert, but there is something subtly new about the style of these nigiri. The fish ruled, and the flavors were subtle. No heavy hit of wasabi lurking under the fish." – BernalKC on ICHI Sushi
