Fah Thai Cuisine

Simply put- do not go! I am rarely 100% negative on a joint - but my experience with the proprietors was so bad that I would simply never return. Too bad - as I rather like curries.

Cantina

The cantina is BIG - indoor, outdoor, patio. For a joint that cannot quite decide whether it is a sports bar or a mexican restaurant the food is quite excellent (try the Tortas Yucateca). They aslo have a decent Tequilla selection and the bar area attracts a good looking 25+ crowd in the after 5PM hours.

Pho Vietnam

There are few places left where you can get a huge portion of fantastic food for less than $10 - this is one of them. I recommend the #8 (large, because if you take the X-large you will need a nap soon after), but if you are not a dedicated meat eater - go with the seafood or veggie Pho.

It does get really crowded for lunch - and they will seat you with other people at the same table without asking if it is OK - so do not expect a white-cloth type of place - this is the proverbial "hole in the wall" gem.

Daphne's Greek Cafe

As good as Greek food can get and still be "fast food". Much nicer and cleaner restaurant than your typical fast food joint - yet you do not have to pay a premium for the great food.

City Thai

Excellent curry duck. Quick & friendly service.

Safe Hands Pet Care

A superb Bay Area pet sitting service - strongly recommended and invaluable.
