and thirsty

Perhaps Naga/Spicy can give us the inside scoop on why this placed closed. He/She/It was touting the grand opening so much.

But didn't Chipshot, er, NagaJolokia get banned?

Sunny Garden

small world, I just had dinner there Tuesday night with a good friend. A little pricey, more elegant than what I was thinking for lockdown in town, but so strange that you mentioned Faultline. conicidences never cease to amaze me. BTW, my ribs were awesome that I ordered, and the 2 different beers I had were excellent.

I just looked at their web site. Way different than it was 12-14 years ago.

It was mostly bar food then, although they had a seated area and served the usual mid range bay area fare. Seems they went way upscale.

My favorite brew place was Stoddards in mountain view, but it seems they've closed. Best jerk chicken/pork I've ever had. The massive burning sensation took two ESB's to put out.

Faultlines India Pale Ale is pretty good. Funny coincidence, I dug out an old Faultline t-shirt from my dresser just a few days ago. Too dang small for me now.

Sunny Garden

Fats, Sunny Garden & T2Yan are my favorite Chinese Restaurants in Folsom.

A few weeks ago, I went to Umeko Seafood Buffet (Folsom Blvd, Hwy 50 & Howe), on a Sunday afternoon about 3pm & this place was PACKED. China Buffet in Folsom had better food than Umeko Buffet. Demographic perhaps?

Bon Appétit!

I drove by yesterday and noticed the signs to China Buffet are no longer on there. That lasted long.

Go up 2 posts and obviously chipshot gone does not equal Naga gone.


but I have noticed, with chipshot gone, Naga seems to post a lot less.

Family wanted Chinese the other night so decided to try something different than Asian Bistro in EDH. We went to Sunny Garden and it was VERY GOOD. Like how they have 5 family dinner options 2 at most places but we went off the menu to try new dishes like Honey Chicken (OMG that is good stuff), Pad Thai and Szechuan Shredded Pork. Will be back!

I never tried China Buffet. My favorites in town are:

1) T2 Yan - really good food, nice atmosphere, friendly service, open late, and I love's me some salt and pepper fish.
2) Fat's - expensive, but classy and elegant
3) Pho Boc Hoa Viet - I usually end up getting Vietnamese there, but the Chinese dishes I've had were good
4) Sunny Garden - Nice folks, interesting twists on the grub. Basil Beef is outstanding.

I think I went there twice - sure it was at least once. My impression was that:

1. It sure was a Chinese buffet.
2. Kind of makes me nervous to see all that food sitting out and no one eating it. Makes you wonder how long it's been there... not appetizing.

I really like Chinese food but I heard that they do it (in our restaurants) in a different way than in China. Well, I really don't want to eat dogs anyway...

Much like what Taco Bell is to any restaurant in Mexico.
