What are Japanese tapas?
My 11yo would go nuts. He's a sushi/seafood fanatic.

 

Its actually not Japanese tapas but Izakaya style if your more familiar with that. Pretty much they are just small plates of food. Check out both restaurants on yelp if you're interested. Neither serves too much sushi but Gochi has some amazing bluefin tuna. If you into traditional Japanese food I would highly recommend trying them out.

 

Places by work that I frequent often..

Muracci's 2 in Los Altos for Japanese curry
Rincon Sabroso in Mountain View for cheap Mexican
Ginseng in Mountain View for Korean
Spot in Los Altos for pizza

I also love Colombo's in Pacifica for their sandwiches.. their Dutch crunch is heavenly.

 

Even better. I'll have to try them.

 

I go to SF alot to eat and always try new places but I always find myself going back to the same places. These are the places i usually go once a week
El Castillito (on church)-mexican- very authentic, I love the food here
Tony's Pizza Napoletana (stockton and union)- pizza
Naia (more than one location but the one on Union has more flavors)- Gelato
Mitchell's Ice cream- "regular" ice cream
Little lucca- sandwich
just to name a few

 

Good places to have just a good time, Grace. Morton's and lark creek more upscale, nice dinner and wine.

 

DaLat Restaurant (Asian) - near SJSU on william st. House special soup with massive jumbo shrimp!

Nola's Restaurant (southern) in Palo Alto - Skirt steak there is killer!

Seniores Pizza on 19th ave. - great spot for late night after some partying in SF

 

Monterey - Fisherman's Grotto

Benicia:

Matsuri Sushi. 'The' Freshest sushi ever cut and by far the best in the bay area. Definitely a hidden spot.

^^ Great list! If it's not too much trouble, may I ask you to please add cuisine/type descriptors? Thanks

Edit: Win - thanks for doing that Ricky!

 

done!

 

HELL YEAH!!! i love going there for the best buffalo steaks ^^; used to go there every week

Anyhow, in the Bay Area, here are my picks:

- All you can eat Korean BBQ on El Camino Reel (Forgot name and exact location)

- Bay Shabu Sushi Sake on West Portal (Known for the Killer Whale Sushi Challenge) [SF]

- Banwich on taravel st & 20th I believe. Great, quick vietnamese sandwiches [SF]

- The Sandwich Shop on Mariposa and 19th, its owned by my mom but i swear to god the sammies are hella good. I even met a g35driver member there and sold+installed an intake for him ^^ How can you say no to a GIGANTIC Sandwich with fresh meat and produce for only $5.50? Majority of people can barely eat a whole sandwich [SF]

- My Tofu House; korean bbq/tofu stew restaurant on Geary & 11th (i think) [SF]

 

^ I go to Bullshead probably at least once/week. Last week I think I was there 3 times
