Review: Coriander Gourmet Thai


Coriander Gourmet Thai, originally uploaded by Louis79.

About $12 for two items meal

Ambient:
It's a shopping center in San Francisco, what would you expect? A lot of people, kids, teens, adults. Always packed with people till the stores are closed.

Food:
I'm not a big fan of Thai food, but this is one of the better ones. The food is quite good, certainly exceeded my expectations at a place where you don't expect to taste real food. I would highly recommend trying their fried rice. I'm not sure how they cook it, but it's not greasy at all, just the right texture and tastes amazing. I believe I tried 4 different dishes so far and they are all quite good. They also give you more than enough food to feed your hunger. Great deal at an over priced food court.

Rating: 7.5/10.0
Verdict: Thumbs up

Review: Davis Sushi Buffet


Davis Sushi Buffet, originally uploaded by Louis79.

$13 for lunch sushi buffet
$17 for dinner sushi buffet

Ambient:
It's not a big place. generally not crowded. It includes a sushi bar as well as tables. Music is fairly mellow and not distracting, services are nice. The thing is it's just not a very attractive setting, maybe it's the lighting, the atmosphere is just very bland. If there wasn't a sushi bar, you might mistaken it for a Chinese restaurant.

Food:
I can't remember if I had lunch there. The dinner was OK, the selection of sushi is limited, total less than 10 varieties (not including other type of food). Some are decent. There's no limit on Sashimi, you just have to ask the chief.

Rating: 5
Verdict: Thumbs down
