I'm always excited to find a new restaurant to try especially when its for Colombian food…read more Found this place on Google. Its in a nice area and the plaza its in is pretty empty so parking is super easy. When you walk in theres a hostess stand and you need to wait so you can be seated. Its a cute restaurant. Has a large TV. Super casual. The server my husband and I had was super nice. We ordered: -Blackberry juice -Colombiana -Pacfico -Morcilla con papas -1 beef empanada -1 chicken empanada -Bandeja paisa The food and drinks all came out in like 5min. Super quick! The empanadas were really good, well seasoned. Morcilla was delicious! The potatos are not seasoned but you can salt them yourself. They come with 2 sauces one thats guacamole and the other was tapatio based, which was disappointing because it should come with aji. The bandeja paisa was okay. The only thing I didnt like about it was the ground beef. I will be back to try other dishes.

Came here on a weeknight and in the middle of our meal they set up speakers and there was a comedy show in Spanish. Just not what we were expecting as we were looking for a place to eat where we could have a conversation. The food had nice flavors, but the quality of the meat was hit or miss. One plate had nice tender beef while the other one was very tough.

I ordered one taco with breaded tilapia and one taco with salmon. For those with dairy allergies or lactose intolerance, the orange sauce does contain crema. The other sauces did not contain dairy.

Per our friend's recommendation, our family of 8 had a dinner the first time at this'hidden gem…read morelast night. It is pretty nice and cozy restaurant. The menu offers fusion Vietnamese and French dishes. We ordered Salmon Wellingtons, Grass Fed Fillet Mignons, Papaya Salad, Rotisserie Chicken... Bread and butter served first. Then not too long foods came out . All dishes nicely presented and so good! About Fillet Mignon, my daughter complimented: it is better than The Papilion but at 1/3 of the price! The waitress was very attentive, refilled water and removed used dishes timely! My papaya salad was very good ! My wife loves her Rotisserie Chicken. The chicken was tender and seasoned with the French - Vietnamese way that we love! We finished our dinner with yummy cream brulee, chocolate icecream and Vietnamese milk coffees. Nice and warm restaurant Top notch service Fantastic foods at 1/3 price comparing to other places! We will come back to this place more regularly from now on! Congratulations to the owner and staff!

We live just a couple of miles from Elements and have dined here several times. When we've been…read moreable to go, the food has always been good. The Asian-French fusion menu is creative, the dishes are nicely presented, and we've generally enjoyed our meals. My biggest issue is simply figuring out when the restaurant is actually open. The hours seem to change or feel very inconsistent, and there have been several times when we've thought about going but weren't sure whether they were open. For a neighborhood restaurant so close to home, I wish the schedule were more predictable. The location is also a little unusual. It's tucked into a shopping center and can be easy to overlook if you don't know it's there. On the plus side, there is plenty of parking, which is always convenient. Overall, the food is definitely the reason to come here, and we've had good experiences once we're actually inside. I just wish the hours were more consistent and reliable because we would probably dine here much more often. Also, the dessert is expensive and not very good, something I think they could improve on.

My friend and I were in the area and decided we wanted Vietnamese food for dinner. Khanh's…read moreRestaurant popped in my mind. Never been there, but I remember seeing the place every time I drive down Hamilton Ave. to the gym. I was expecting a casual pho restaurant, but Khanh's was much nicer than I expected. They even had this zen garden connected to the restaurant that had a flowing fountain. We got to the restaurant around 7:30pm, and the place closed at 8pm. They let us sit down for dinner. Since we got there near closing time, we were the last party at the restaurant. i appreciated that the staff members didn't make us rush through dinner. They patiently waited for us to finish our food while tidying up the place. Overall customer service was great. Food came out fast, and our server was the sweetest elderly gentleman who smiled every time he came to our table. We shared veggie egg rolls, and they were deep fried perfection. Golden, crunchy, and packed with crisp lettuce and carrots. They came with fish sauce as the dipping sauce. My friend got beef pho, and I got a bbq chicken and shrimp vermicelli plate. We both enjoyed our dishes. I got to try the pho broth that I thought was fragrant and flavorful. My vermicelli plate was so satisfying, but I didn't feel stuffed after clearing the whole bowl. It was a great portion of food.

Khanh's has been my favorite Vietnamese restaurant for years. They used to be on Winchester Blvd,…read moreand at first I thought they were closing but they just relocated to Hamilton Ave. It feels like a family owned spot, and most of the staff are warm and welcoming. My absolute favorite dish is the grilled shrimp and BBQ pork with rice sheet wraps, it's outstanding. Their appetizers are good, and the egg rolls are especially delicious. The beef soup is also solid and comforting. You can tell this place has a loyal following many of the customers seem to be regulars, which really adds to the cozy, family style atmosphere. I highly recommend it!

We were hoping to get food like sandwiches next door at Whole Foods but the selection there was…read morelimited and if I am going to buy something I sure would want to make sure I enjoyed it. I googled mapped the area and saw this place that sold Bahn Mis!!! We walked over and ordered two bahn mis to go and the Vietnamese style chicken wings. When we got home, we quickly ate the sandwiches and they were delicious. My jalapeños was not hot but added the crunch- for some reason my wife's sandwich didn't have any. The kids enjoying snacking on the wings after school. I would come again for the banh mi but for the price it is a bit on the pricey side since maybe due the location. Anyways - they had a nice seating concept where it's open and outdoors. Noise wise was quiet and had couples eating in the sun area. Service wise was to go so cannot rate that but our sandwiches and g chicken wings came out within 15min to go! Would be willing to try other food here!

They have lots of options like cilantro rice! Just a note, some items do contain butter so if you're allergic to dairy, be warned! The salsa had no hint of spice which was a little disappointing to me but it's okay the chips were fantastic. The food came out really fast! I was a little nervous with the tacos because the chicken looked unseasoned but after the first bite, my anxiety was eased. The chicken breast was VERY flavorful. If you're in the area and looking to grab a quick bite, Nina's is a great option!

I won't be ordering from here again.

A tasting-menu evening for the RIGHT reason…read more Since moving back to the Bay Area, I've had dinner at the initial "Manesa" several times and was impressed and then lost interest. Exactly like I have with all the Michelin-starred tasting-menu restaurants--here in CA, NYC, London, and beyond--that have made their way into the French tire guide. They're not a return recipe for me, my relations and I imagine for a few others. Ritual at Manresa is not a Michelin-starred restaurant. Rather it hosts visiting, internationally acclaimed Michelin-starred chefs that bring their food and cooking to you. See pic. That's really important to know. It helps understand it's cost, operation and why a tasting-menu serves the experience. Your dinner at Ritual At Manresa will be from a different chef and part of the world. Certainly improvements can be made. But I hope there are enough of us locals that can help it serve us. ... Sounds like a paid review but ... #%&@ no ... The chef for our evening was from Brazil. The menu, see pic, was excellent. The oyster could have been better but I lean hard for half-shell oysters (I miss Steamers here in LG "closed", WCYC up north "also closed" and France "still open". I buy wine from Kermit Lynch and don't do wine pairing as a rule but for this chef and menu I did. See pic. Not all were what I prefer but most were and I would choose pairing again. I have to say both better and excellent than my past experiences at this address. Finally the service is notably friendly and excellent. The assorted parting gifts included an air tight bag of Brazilian coffee beans I look forward to brewing. See pic.
