very good flavor. i highly recommend this. i'd get it more often if it wasn't fried (more fat than i need) but that's probably what makes it good...

this is my favorite dish here. i order it about half the time. i'm not so thrilled with sweet dressing so usually get something else.

This cheese dip is a bit richer than I like but the flavor is good. While I enjoyed it, not sure I would order it again.

The flavor is really good. The bulgur shell a little too hard, maybe it was fried too long. The ground beef inside was really good. Also recommend this dish.

Excellent dish. The sauce from the chicken blended very well with the eggplant puree. There was more sauce than can be eaten with the chicken so I ate a lot of it with pita bread. I highly recommend this dish.

A good salad if slightly light on the dressing flavor. The vegetables were very fresh and recently cut.

One of the best sweet potato fries I've had, though a bit pricey for the little plate.

The taro pearl tea is pretty good. I would prefer the pearls to be a little sweeter.

A little Taiwanese cafe with a bunch of snacks and noodle soups. They also have pearl tea in many flavors. Not quite the range of a pearl tea place but sufficient. A nice place to go for a quick lunch or just to hang out.

The beef and broth had really good flavor with a bit of cabbage. I really like the home made noodles too. Comes in a humungous bowl.

Interesting little burger place run by a Korean woman and her son (?). Not the cleanest place but great for a burger or cheesesteak. There is metered street parking out front.

Good cheesesteak on a roll. Very yummy with just the right amount of cheese and grilled onion. I would definitely get it again.

There are lots of gelato flavors here, about 20 or so. The small (up to 2 flavors) is $2.75 - not a bad deal. They also have regular ice cream for a bit cheaper. They currently have a buy-one-get-one-free coupon in valpak (valpak.com) good til 06/30/2007. The guy behind the counter is really nice and packed the to-go cups really well. I went there with a bunch of co-workers and we plan on going back before the coupon expires.

Really good salad. I usually get mine with the veggies instead of beans, chicken, fresh salsa and corn relish. I sometimes get the spicy salsa when I'm in a brave mood. The dressing is also really good.

Great fries - seems home made. A whole better than most.

  by mary about Athena Grill Biftékia on May 22, 2007
Really yummy dish, great flavor. The sirloin was good by itself and also good with either the tzatziki sauce or the olive sauce. Highly recommend this one. The dish comes with greek fries, which is much better than the veggies.

  by mary about Athena Grill Mousaká on May 22, 2007
The dish is good but I was expecting a bit more flavor. I substituted the fries for the healthier vegetables. That had peas, tomatoes, potatoes and string beans. The veggies were also had a subtle. The meal included a big Greek salad. Overall, a good dish, and definitely lots of it.

The wrap was very flavorful. Flatbread would probably taste better than the tortilla.

The chocolated covered sesame bar was really good. Not too sweet and has interesting texture

  by mary about pho nam shrimp and pork vermicelli noodle on April 10, 2007
The grilled pork and shrimp are pretty good. It could use a litte more vegetables and sauce. I like the one at Pho Quyen (2 blocks north, on El Camino) a little better.

Excellent spinach salad with caramelized onions, bacon, feta, tomatoes and walnuts.

  by mary about Pasta Pomodoro Verdure on April 06, 2007
The dish has roasted eggplants, brocolli, brussel sprouts and mushrooms mixed in either a garlic or spicy pomodoro sauce. I had orzo added to it for free. The spicy pomodoro sauce could use a little more salt.

each dish is pretty good but it would be nice to have dishes other than meat.

  by mary about Chelokababi Chicken breast Kabab on March 10, 2007
The chicken kabob is really excellend. The rice is also really good. When I was there a couple days ago, my plate had a small salad and less rice than usual. That's an improvement. My friend had gotten all salad and no rice, I'll have to remember to ask for that next time.
