Miyake is our favorite spot for great tasting sushi at reasonable prices. It is near Stanford and in the heart of Palo Alto which provides great atmosphere reminiscent of a wild fraternity house at times. Sake bombs are a must, and must be consumed while standing on your chair to the delight of the other patrons. My personal favorites are their soft shelled crab, hamachi, kani, and saba. Don't forget generous helpings of wasabe in your soy sauce. Enjoy!

I was pleasantly surprised when my friends invited me to Straits Cafe last week. I haven't been there for a while now and the place has changed! ---for the better!!
The deco is so much subdue now...like the place has matured. I like the host, who was very polite and helpful. We went at Happy Hours and stayed until dinner. The drinks were only $5 unitl 6:00pm. Great value. The roti was still the best in town. The grilled sea-bass was out of this world. Definitely will go back again with my date.
Pros: Great drinks

Best Dim Sum in the Bay Area!
Dinners are middle of the road - if you choose to visit Ming's do it for the Dim Sum. They have Dim Sum all week for lunch and on the weekends.
Tip - don't come too close to 2pm on the weekends - they start slowing down by 1pm.

Good solid chinese food. I went with my friend Dave and we both ordered way too much. The service was good and quick and the food was fine. But - it was nothing special.

there are two of these, one on university downtown and this one on el camino. the inside is soo cute. it was my first time at a sushi boat. the prices are more than reasonable. i ordered some sushi and some appetizers with my friends. I had a California roll, some edamame and a Shrimp Tempura roll. All were freshly prepared and tasty. The tempura was excellent. It was very crunchy and there wasn't so much batter that the shrimp was lost. They keep the water glasses and soy sauce jars full. The servers are always very friendly. my friends all ordered the bento boxes. protions are generous and i thought it was delicious. the service isnt excellent but i thought the good prices and generous portions of good food made up for it. i dont get why there were such bad reviews already up, i really liked the place. i think it caters to a more younger crowd, lots of stanford and local hschoolers seem to come.
Pros: good food, prices
Cons: service not always up to par

My boyfriend and I read a few reviews about Thai restaurants in the Palo Alto area before deciding on this one, and we're glad we did! We started with the shrimp spring rolls and they were fresh and delicious and came with 3 great sauces. For dinner we had the red curry and green curry, both flavorful and the perfect balance of vegetables and chicken. A word of caution, we both enjoy spicy food and ordered our entrees "5 star." Even for heat-lovers, this was a bit too spicy for us. We were sweating bullets. If you enjoy spicy, I would recommend ordering 3 star. It is still spicy without overpowering the food. The service was also friendly and prompt.
Pros: Food delivered to order very quickly
Cons: Some difficuly communicating with server
