Hakkasan
We last ate at a Hakkasan in San Francisco when my parents were visiting. I remember it being elevated Chinese food and I remember the prime location it had and the interior, but I don’t really remember too much more than that. That location closed, but i did know there were many other Hakkasans still…

Din Tai Fung
We missed eating out here last year, so I was looking forward to finally eating here. It’s all about the dumplings here so we were going to definitely try a lot of those. We had ordered cucumber salad, hot & sour soup, shrimp fried rice, green beans and bunch of dumplings of course! The first…

Dumpling Home
When we went to Nightbird a few weeks ago, we passed by Dumpling Home on our way. This was also on our list of places to try, but we hadn’t prioritized it since since you can’t make reservations (line up and put your name on the yelp list once open). Andrea had been thinking about…

Panda Inn
This was our meal the evening before we were going to fly out of Ontario (California, not Canada) so we wanted someplace close to the hotel (which was close to the airport). I know my parents are always game for Chinese food. Plus this was recommended by our good friend and fellow foodie Trisha A.…

Four Kings
We’re back here at Four Kings after having just dined here for the first time a fortnight ago. We showed up right at 6pm when they opened. There was a line of less than 10 people waiting in the walk-in line and we were the only ones in the reservations line with several tables already…

Morimoto Asia
Our final dinner in Napa. Kristine wanted to find something for the entire group that was reasonably nice and was going to be palatable to the entire group, so she picked Morimoto Asia (not to be confused with Morimoto). For drinks, I started with the flight of Morimoto sake which included a ginjo, and junmai,…

Four Kings
I had been trying for many weeks to get a reservation at this new-ish restaurant located in Chinatown just around the corner from R&G Lounge and staffed by some former chefs from Mister Jiu’s. The restaurant only take reservations a few weeks in advance and every time I checked for reservations, there were only available…

HK Lounge Bistro
We were at a cocktail event at the Cat Club (the 20th anniversary for Tales From the Kitty, the group we use for cat-sitting) and wanted to grab dinner. Fortunately, the HK Lounge Bistro was just a block away. We first ate here last October for Sunday brunch with our neighbors Michael and Elizabeth. It…

Mister Jiu’s
I wanted to revisit Mr. Jiu’s since we hadn’t been here since pre-pandemic 2020. Restaurant didn’t seem very busy, but that’s not unusual on a Thursday evening (which is one reason we eat out on Thursdays), although later the bar would be packed. We started with some cocktails which were….just ok. They kind of seemed…
