davburp? last time I heard name calling going on was in 6th grade...

just sayin'...

Calm down...Yes, I think 'Spicy' (Mylo, IMO) has lost all credibility. I'll rely on your reviews.

You can always count on my reviews being unbiased and with an open mind - and all based on a love of culinary arts.....but I gotta say, spicy ain't mylo cause he and I have done a lot of restaurant reviews and he's a pretty good foodie too.

gotta give props to spicy too - like he/she's said its "all personal preferences".... the only way to trust a good/valid review is when others can (and have) provide feedback on it too - its usually better to hear from more then just one source to get a good perspective on a place - other then going there and trying it out yourself.

what are some of your favorite places to dine around here?

I happened to visit China Buffet on Alhambra Blvd in Sacramento a couple of months ago for lunch and I was blown away by the cleanliness, food QUALITY (which was a shocker for me because Buffetts and Quality do not mix most of the time), selection and abundance of food.

I am interested how many customers need to come in through their doors just to break EVEN to cover ONLY the lease of $20k a month let alone any sort of profit after all the expenses.

do you mean the China Buffet on Broadway? Is there another buffet I don't know about on Alhambra? I've never seen one there, but there are a lot of little shopping areas tucked back in. It's close to where I work, so I'm curious.

Great Authentic Chinese Food: Chinatown in SF, Los Angeles, Manhattan, Honolulu, Boston, and Chicago.
Chinese food in these US cities is generally known to be even better than those in major cities in China such as Beijing, Chongqing, Shanghai or Tianjin.

Tommy Toys in San Francisco is one of the top upscale Chinese Restaurants in the USA.
A perfect balance of classical, refined, and traditional Chinese recipes with the fine dining experience of French Service and Presentation.
