Its strawberry season and I want some strawberry pie!! In the bay area we like to go to Heidi's in San Mateo...is there anything like that in LA?

I like Santa Monica Seafoods on Wilshire and 10th...Duke's is also a great choice!

I LOVE Phil's Fish Market in Moss Landing!!

Great specials and huge portions!

I LOVE Joy, but they didn't have it the past few times I've been there

really? We haven't found any in the bay area either--last time I had it was in Vancouver!

Hi! I'm wondering if there were any places around LA for shanghai brunch--the soy bean milk, chinese donut, XLB, fried onion pancakes...and the nowhere to be found "ha kook wong" --yellow crab shell--(see pics that I took in Vancouver! Its filled with sugar). Din Tai Fun was good with the shanghai rice cakes and the noodles, but are there other places?

Thanks!

mmm...Tex's Drive In--ONO!! I'd love to find a malasada place out here...will have to try Natas!

Hi! We're new to the area--from the SF Bay Area--and know that there's good stuff to eat around here! What are your best of in the Westwood/West LA/Santa Monica area? Japenese, Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese, Mexican, burgers...Thanks!!

My new fave is Joy in Foster City on beach park

Hong Kong Flower Lounge is right off of Millbrae Ave...there's a bunch of places in Millbrae that are good pre SFO

My new favorite place to eat lunch before heading back to Sacramento. Love their nein go and thick noodles!

My friends and I are looking for a place in or near Livermore to celebrate a 30th b-day party--a nice local place would be great. I've noticed that downtown is super cute and I'm sure there are some good places there. It'll be a group of about 6 of us...we're open to anything good! Mahalo!

Marina or Ranch 99--both are in Foster City

I would love to know too!! I haven't seen any Shanghai-style foods here in Sac...so disappointing!! That's why we go back to the bay area on the weekends.

I'm from the Bay Area and currently live in Natomas. There is *very little* decent food to eat around here. If we go out, its usually to Davis or Midtown. Everything is a chain and I agree that there's no organic food here (hence our trips to Davis!)

Tuk Tuk is ok, its overpriced--we prefer Bangkok Garden on the other side of 5...Bella Bru is ok too, but if we're eating in Natomas, that means we're eating at home! I can't wait to move back home!

FYI, they're made fresh at 3:30 every day--that's the best time to stop in for one!! I LOVE them!

They're not carrying it? uggh! They were the only place I knew of! I love their pumpkin ice cream! So much better than Dryers!

So this morning I got a craving for King's Hawaiian Restaurant down in SoCal...I want some Hawaiian food!! Are there any places in Sac besides L&L?

Mahalo!

That sucks! I loved their "paper wrapped cakes"!! Uggh!

For Chinese we like New Canton on Broadway (going there tonight actually!) and for Japenese, we like Zen Sushi on 15th and I (I think), agree with Pho Bac Hoa Viet for vietnamese

Is there a Mr. Pickles close by? I love theirs on dutch crunch!

I love Willy's! The one in Foster City is my fave...they have more variety than the Flying Pig here in natomas...

Driving down El Camino this weekend and noticed an opening soon sign for ramen in Palo Alto--in the barron park area--anyone have info on this?

Recommendations for the best tempura in Sacramento?? We've been to Zen Toro (just ok), Kru, Taka's...I've heard Akebono is good--but that was in the Bee...anyone been there and can vouch for it?

mahalo!

also on Folsom Blvd is Dos Coyotes and Mr. Pickles! Yumm!!

I think maybe 50 or so? There's a lot of us and lots of out of town guests...

We're looking for a place in Berkeley/East bay for a rehearsal dinner--maybe something with a view and a private room? Maybe Japenese? We're doing a Chinese banquet for the wedding, so East Ocean wouldn't work--it would be a mix of Chinese and American guests.

Mahalo!

We like Taka's on Fair Oaks for sushi! Prices aren't too bad...if you're up for a japenese buffet--fuji's in davis: $12 for all you can eat sushi buffet! And you can order rolls (dragon, spider, hand rolls...)

Here's the info on the Sacramento Restaurant Week--Jan 12-18...

A great reason to try out Ella's!
