I just got back from another trip to LA, where as usual, Jessica treated us to plenty of delicious SoCal goodies. As an homage to her hospitality (and as a buffer blog to potential Veronica Mars spoilers listed bellow), I figured I'd compile a list of the various tasty restaurant up north.
1. A&J's in Cupertino Village. Hand made, high quality Taiwanese food at its best. Personal favorites: Beef Noodle soup (with the thick noodles), Fried Chicken over Rice with picked vegetables, potstickers...okay, the list goes on. The food is great stuff.
2. HC Dumpling (also in Cupertino Village). NorCal's version of Din Tai Fung. Fresh, steaming Shanghai dumplings galore.
3. Zachary's Pizza in Berkeley, Oakland, and San Ramon. Chicago style pizza with hands-down the best tomato sauce around. Yum.
4. Faultline Brewery in Sunnyvale. Delicious variety of (American?) foods with the chef's personal twist and regularly rotating menu. Personal favorites: Walnut ravioli, Black Pepper Calamari pasta, and the pale ale.
5. Uncle Yu's in Livermore. I'm not generally a big fan of fusion because it usually results in a half-assed attempt to Americanize Chinese food, but Uncle Yu's really got it down right with the vineyard influences. Personal favorites: honey calamari, Lettuce wraps.
6. Mahalo in Pleasanton. High-end Haiwaiian food. Personal favorites: Kobe Beef sandwhich on a sweet roll, the sampler platter.
