FRESHCHOICE!!! I know I know, buffets can be dirty and nasty but FreshCHoice usually does a good job.

Good evening, I had the pleasure of trying the new restaurant in the Bel-Air shopping center on E. Bidwell. It is called The Thai Paradise, I had lunch there today and had the noodle soup which I thought was very good. Kinda of a cute little place with very friendly people. The prices are very reasonable, with a large variety of items to choose from. I arrived early and found that they do a heck of take out business. In talking to the server this is just one location and are well versed in the fact that they will prepare your food any way you want it. IE: different degrees of heat... The lunch I had was very satisfying and I think you should give it a try.. Just remember, it is a small place with maybe 12 tables and a small bar seating area.

THAI! yeah baby

Nothing on Scopes, or Snopes, but I did find this:

"In-N-Out burgers were extraordinary. I was so bad, I sat in the restaurant, had my double cheeseburger then minutes later I drove back round and got the same thing again to take away."
--Gordon Ramsay

Apparently it was a Double-Double Animal Style! Go Gordon!

I think this town has an embarrassment of restaurants already.

I just want a Luby's with a Luann plate for lunch ..... very simple. Why doesn't California have cafeterias? We have lots of buffets that do well.

Okay Okay I know everyone is going to throw tomatoes at me for saying this but there is a fantastic place in San Jose called Gourmet Pizza....they do fantastic pizzas and for lunch you can get a slice of pizza and a salad bar for $5.75....or you can do a salad bar to go and let me tell you, you can pile on the salad. For those people like me that love a good salad bar but don't want to pay through the nose it was the best.

As for hot dogs, Fremont's Kasper Dogs were the best, Burgers was Bob's Giant Burger...oh and I'd love a Hana Japan, Nijo Castle, or Kyoto Palace (all teppan rooms).

I think the flame broiled burger place opening up in the Safeway shopping center is Buger Hut from Chico, very good stuff there, I'm looking forward to it.

Hmmm, anything else I'm missing? Oh yeah, Tapas, Sangria & Mojitos...oh my!

Your spelling, not mine!

So does that mean you get boogers with your burgers?

Another reason I don't like eating in restaurants...

What I would love is a place that does only soup, homemade bread and great, unique salads.

There was this place, Walter's, down in Claremont in SoCal that was run by some people from Afghanistan, and they made the most incredible soups! They also offered Afghan specialties which were also faboo, but I could live on their chicken vegetable soup, house salad and homemade bread alone. Their house dressing was made with yogurt, olive oil and herbs and my gosh it was to die for.


Simple, but so, so good. So many nights, when I don't want to cook, I'd love to go to such a place. For now, Fresh Choice is a reasonable facsimile, but I am not talking buffet. A place that does soup and salad with seasonable fresh ingredients would be so welcome! Yum!

MMMMM...In N Out Double Double Animal Style.....MMMMMM
Not on my diet, but YUMMY! I vote for the In N Out to come sooner!

Other than that, I feel like we have enough great places to keep me satisfied- BSB, Aloha Sushi, Ravine, and Hop Sing.

Well, I guess I would love a great Mexican place. I feel like ours are good, but I want great.

And IN N Out...did I say that yet???

[and there is a new Hawaiian place in the Safeway shopping center on Francisco in EDH. Pretty good food.[/quote]


I checked out the "hawaiian" place called Hawaiian BBQ in the Safeway shopping center in EDH
last weekend. Standing at the counter while I scanned the menu for a hawaiian entree. I even asked the young teenager, what is their specialty hawaiian dish. She said she likes the teriyaki chicken. LOL
Being from Hawai`i, I went in there specifically for something "Hawaiian." Unfortunately, all too many times, restaurants throw pineapple on a pizza or a sandwich and call it Hawaiian. I never saw anything on the menu, "Hawaiian" and left hugely disappointed.
There is a good place in Elk Grove that serves up the real deal, sometimes a bit too far and not
really convenient. So obviously, I would love to have a place serving authentic Hawaiian food nearby...but realistically understand, that's not going to happen anytime soon.

I concur.



Your other selections are my top 5, aswell. Except that I prefer T2 Yan over Hop Sing.
