I've had great success coming here at 9:15 on a Sunday morning, even though the dining room is already quite crowded I've had parties of 5 or more seated within a minute or two. Compare that to coming here around 10:30 or later where you'll see the wait times soar past 2 hours! The waitstaff for the mostpart doesn't seem to speak English, but that doesn't matter because you mainly just nod or shake your head at the variety of dim sum brought out on different trays. Contrary to popular belief, there are carts here as well, for their fancier offerings. I have to point out their shrimp-stuffed crab claw as their best dim sum, and their spicy noodles are insane, too. Some of their fried dumplings can be a bit greasy, and the steamed dumplings tend to stick together, but overall the quality is just amazing, considering the sheer volume of people they serve every hour. I feel it's unfair of some to say that the wait times are too long; every popular place is like that--be smarter about the time you're here and you'll have a great experience. In any event, this is not the type of place you swing by before trying to catch a movie or a flight. Take your time, enjoy the environment, and savor the many different types of dim sum. Also be sure to check out their dessert dim sum; their black bean sesame dumplings are out of this world, and there's a cream puff that's coated in granulated sugar that has the outward appearance of a rather large donut hole, but inside the cream is blended with the dough, making for one of the best desserts I've ever had--if not a bit too sweet.
Pros: excellent dim sum, can seat a party of hundreds
Cons: occasional linguistic problems, no reservations for breakfast

My wife and I, we now live in Michigan, often sit and discuss the things we miss the most about living in the Bay area. Always at the top of our list is, Nations Burgers. We always went to the Pleasanton store.
Nations has by far the best hamburger anywhere in the country, in our opinions. The vegetables were always fresh and crisp, the meat properly cooked and moist with tons of flavor, and the right amount of mayo/miracle whip, to give the sandwich the best taste ever!
The frnech fries were always cooked to a light golden brown, crispy outside, soft and tasty inside.
And a wonderful selection of pies!
Something else that most don't think about...the soft drinks...
At a lot of restaurants, the ratio of syrup to carbonated water can make the soft drinks taste like anything but the brand selected. Nations quality control was/is such that what you get tatstes like it should.
My recommendation...if your visiting the Bay Area...find a Nations Restaurant for at least one of your meals, you won't ever forget it. If you live in the Bay Area...what can I say...I envy you! Go to Nations and tell them I said hello!!!
On a scale of one to ten...Nations is an eleven in our book!
Pros: Best tasting, freshest hamburger, anywhere!
Cons: Not enough seating in some of their stores

This is the ultimate review from a picky girl who can cook, and loves good gourmet food with a grandfather that is a gourmet chef, so read up! I've read other reviews about Outback, and some of the dishes selected are all wrong folks! I know that it's a steackhouse, and one would assume their specialty is steak, however friends and I know that anything but steak is great. Prime Rib is easy to make people, it's always rare. My recommended dish are Alice Springs Chicken, be sure to get the honey mustard sauce that it comes with, and appitizer is the crab cakes be sure it comes with the diced tomatoes in cilantro as it adds flavor.
Pros: Alice Spring Chicken, crab cake, free refills
Cons: bad parking, sometimes long waits, steaks

Krispy Kreme doughnuts are DELICIOUS and definitely live up to the hype. They are always fresh (you can literally see them being made behind a glass wall), flaky, sweet, airy, and basically heaven on earth. The selection is great: glazed, cream-filled, berry-filled, powdered, chocolate, sprinkled, you name it. Also, they are pretty cheap. This Daly City location has several tables, is easy to park in, and has a quick-moving line - also, I'm not sure if they still do this, but they used to give out FREE glazed doughnuts to people waiting in line! In N Out is next door if you want to really make an unhealthy night of it.
Pros: mmm doughnuts
Cons: location is right on a freeway, so ambience is lacking

My expectations were exceeded. A avid restaurant goer since age 9 I know what kind of restaurants I like and what to look for. Some people don't like crowds, but don't discount the restaurant for them! Crowds means the place must be good for some reason right? And Banana Island was definitely crowded. We had to wait twenty minutes for our party of 8 but it was well worth it. The food comes out FAST, so be ready. Good, good, good! It's not too salty or gloopy (full of corn starch) like many asian cuisine restaurants' food can be. The desserts were ethereal! Ask about a mountain shaped cone of shaved ice and syrups - to die for. The, what's it called....roti? with whipped cream and strawberries was also delish.
The place is also beautiful, clean, and for every demographic.
Parking was easy to find too...that is, if you don't mind a little five minute walk!
Definitely call before going to reserve a spot though, as I said, it's crowded.
