Apparently, Chef Chu's been rated as one of the best restaurants in the state (and even country). I definitely agree! My family have been dedicated customers for years and years, and we never get tired of it. (In fact, I almost wish I still lived in the Bay Area just so I could eat there!) It's a very popular place and always busy, but the quality of service is consistently high, even when they're packed. It's a family-run business, and they get to know you if you come regularly.
The food, of course, is awesome. I've never had anything there that I didn't like, and although I'm sure the calorie content is still high, things aren't swimming in extra oil/sauce the way they are at some Chinese restaurants. The atmosphere is cool because you can dress up or down and still feel like you fit in; there's usually everything from formal parties to families with crying children there! And the prices are surprisingly reasonable for such a nice place. Don't pass through Los Altos without eating at Chef Chu's (or at least getting takeout)!

We live in Reno, but whenever we are in the bay area, we eat here. The chicken breast was my favorite until my daughter told me to try the ribs. Now it will always be the fall off the bone and tasty ribs. Love the potatoes, cornbread and the drinks :)
Service has always been tops
Pros: Ribs, Cornbread and Service
Cons: long wait at times

For most women, a new salon/spa is a nervous experience....Not at Ciana! I was so pleased that the staff was so knowledgeable about current trends and about their product line. Melanie is an excellent listener and offers insight into my color and cut with professionalism! I've also had the opportunity to have waxing services....Jodi is very detail oriented and extremely professional. She has built a clientele because of her rapport and attention to detail..
I would recommend Ciana to anyone looking for a dedicated and wonderful staff.

I am a professional working mommy. My life
is extremely busy. After my second child and
a promotion at my firm I no longer was taking
the time to care for my appearance as I did
before the babies. I was always feeling too
plump and my hair was always in a straggly
pony tail. I'm sure many of you can relate to
this situation.
After about 6 months of not being able to find
the time to take an appointment with my
regular gal in San Francisco on Maiden Lane
my hair was virtually in total neglect and my
self esteem was at it's lowest. I also had a
convention speaking engagement looming on
my calendar.
So, I decided to snap out of my funk and ask
my law partner and mommy friend where she
got her hair lightened and cut.
She highly recommended Jon Jay and Michael at Balisimo Salon, downtown Los Altos.
Ok, good location only 5 minutes or so from my home in Palo Alto.
My entire experience was outstanding. Not only are Jon Jay and Michael very talented hair artists, but they are also very nice, unpretentious people.
Jon Jay and Michael listened to me as I explained my months of hair neglect. They discussed my options with me, listened to my maintenance issues and made suggestions. THANK YOU GUYS! We decided on a color for my ugly gray roots and a natural looking easy to maintain blonde partial highlight.
Now I have had highlights before, but never this beautiful and meticulous. Jon Jay gave me a rich dark blonde color background and then proceeded to add some strategically placed highlights that are really shinny and light. The highlights frame my face really well and make my blue eyes "pop". These highlights look like sun lightening...really fine and well placed. Then Michael saw me for my cut.
Why was I so afraid to have angled side bangs and long layers? Michael worked wonders with his scissors. He created a personal look for me that was even better than the picture I showed him from my wedding 8 years ago and he insisted I needed to be updated and professional.
The overall effect is very sophisticated. More importantly, I feel womanly again and I feel attractive. I left the salon feeling beautiful and energized.
This was a last minute Sunday appointment. Can you believe these guys were working on my hair early Sunday morning? The atmosphere is friendly, professional and so comfortable. I felt like I've known them for years!
You can reach Jon Jay and Michael at Balisimo at their 24 hour appointment request line 650-888-8577, please tell them that Angie sent you because I am confident they will make you look and feel great.
Pros: Sunday Appointments and Wonderful Silky Color Results
Cons: None Noticed

Okay, if you're looking for the same orange chicken, beef broccoli-type of Chinese food, don't come here! I've never been to China, so I don't know what authentic Chinese food really taste like, but if it tastes like the food over at Hunan Homes, then I'm booking my plane ticket now!! I usually go with my girlfriend and her aunt and everytime I've been there, the food was not just good, but totally...... ORGASMIK (Citysearch won't let me spell it properly)!!! Haha! Okay, maybe not that good, but pretty darn close. Here is where I would normally write down what you should order, but I think I would run out of characters to type in! Trust me, just try whatever sounds good on the menu and it'll be better than any other place you've had it!
Pros: GREAT food! Good selection
Cons: Average service

de Martini offers the highest quality fruits and vegetables. After seeing the difference in qualtiy versus regular grocery stores it is hard to purchase fruit from anywhere else. The selection is outstanding and the staff is very helpful.

I came into the Outrage salon about 3 years ago and had Patty as a hairdresser. I've never been happier with my hair! She gave me a specific color/cut that I hadn't been able to get at any other salon, and we had a lot of fun. I'll never go any other place.

If I cannot find what I need at a discount store, the Los Atlos Card and Party is always my next stop. They have a good selection of greeting cards for any occasion, party supplies, gift wrap and custom invitations. The section of the store that contains the invitations also has higher end gifts such as pens, small clocks, jewlery and watches. You will pay full price but the convenience is definitely worth it.
