When there for lunch last week…read more Found the food dull and uninspiring - even for a white washed Chinese food place. There was nobody in the place during lunch time - which should have been a clue.... Visited when it was really hot outside. When I sat down, they did not have any air conditioning running. Perhaps, with low attendance, they are trying to keep costs low (and I can understand that)... There wasn't enough here to motivate me to come back. Would rather go elsewhere for lunch....

***USP: one of the still around, old time American Chinese restaurant. There is this interesting…read moredocumentary on YouTube which explains how American Chinese cuisine was born and how these restaurants spread throughout the US. All these restaurants have a similar menu as well by design. With the influx of the more authentic Chinese cuisine restaurants, these old time American Chinese restaurants atleast in the bayarea have dwindled significantly so I was excited to find one close by. ***AMBIANCE: place is definitely old but well maintained. They have a large fish tank upfront which has a single large lonely fish. We went on V day and the old lady, who I assume is also one of the owners, was the only one at the restaurant. She had neatly folded napkins in the shape of a heart at all the tables. ****FOOD: prices have increased across most restaurants in the bay and this place seems to be no different. The quantities are definitely on the lower side as well. We got some beans, chicken and fried rice. Every dish hit the spot. The fried rice was especially comforting, it was moist and umami rich. The green beans were pretty delectable as well. They ticked the boxes on everything you would expect from American Chinese food. Some other customers who seemed to be old timers walked in. They mentioned they came in specifically for the lemon chicken. Looks like the place is still running due to some long time loyal customers like them.

Another day of scouting out new places to get Chinese food without having to cook at home. Tea…read moreGarden Chinese Garden is an online order takeout kitchen with a decent price, located near the Lele Bakery in the same outdoor mall, but on the opposite side. I ordered three dishes, there were four kitchen staff, either cooking and packing up food containers, so the orders come out relatively quickly. The food is decent, and it's all packed up in plastic takeout containers, if you're feeling lazy and don't feel like cooking at home. The restaurant is located on Blossom Hill Road. There are plenty of dishes to choose from, and the food is cooked to order, so it's nice and fresh. Definitely will come again on another lazy day when I don't feel like cooking. There is no sitting area here to dine in, but prices here are reasonable. The chow mein has beef, shrimp and chicken.

The mapo tofu was also very flavorful and had a good spice level as well. It had a hint of Szechuan peppercorn and good garlic, and other flavors. Overall, I would definitely go again. The food was served very quickly. I was in and out of the restaurant around 10 minutes.

I got the beef curry and it was pretty good. Interestingly enough the beef was the kind of beef in beef and broccoli, marinated and tenderized with corn starch, instead of the typical Hawaiian bbq beef slices. There was a deceptive amount of meat in this, it's definitely a solid portion. I almost wish there were more potatoes lol. The curry itself was just ok. The plate comes with 2 scoops of rice and 1 scoop of Mac salad for $18. Midly justified. I wish they had a combo curry and or bbq mix curry and not just beef. I miss wikiwiki's hamburg steak curry. The service was solid, with a kind young man ringing me up. I wish the menus were more descriptive, it's low key hard to order here, reminiscent of hood Chinese spots. The ambiance is typical of a Hawaiian spot. Interestingly enough a health inspector came to visit while I was eating, it seems everything went well, so the venue is good to go. Looking back, I'd come back if I was in the area and craving Hawaiian curry for the nostalgia. But low key if prolly rather have poke house across the street.

At 11:00am (their posted opening time), I called twice to ask that no nuts be added to my dish, but no one answered. A staff member later called back, but by then the dish had already been prepared with nuts. I said that was okay and that I would separate them myself, and mentioned that answering the phone during open hours helps customers make requests. The staff member then became upset, told me to cancel my order, and asked where I worked so he could contact my manager. I explained that I'm a stay-at-home mom and still wanted the order delivered. He said I was being dramatic, stated that in his 15 years no one had complained about the phone not being answered during open hours, then hung up and canceled my order. When I called back to ask why the order was canceled, he said that if I wanted the food I would have to pick it up instead of delivery, and hung up again. Being asked for my workplace and manager during a food order felt threatening and unnecessary. After this experience, I feel unsafe having my home address in their system.

Lots of free parking eight outside the restaurant and next to an ice cream place makes it perfect…read morefor a weekend lunch place for our family. The service is quick and food is delicious. Deducting 1 star for being on the pricer side. That makes me come here less often than i would like. In $68 (before tip), we got: - pad thai noodles chicken - 4/5 - flavorful and fresh, i wish we had more portion size for $22 + tax - Penang curry chicken medium spicy - 5/5 - $22 (just for curry) loved the spice kick and gravy along with the tender chicken pieces. Paired perfectly with white rice (which u order separately $3.15) - thai iced tea - large - 5/5 - the difference between small and large is $2 so well worth it to get L - young coconut - 5/5 - always a crowd pleaser Drinks were $7.50 each Service was so quick - 10 mins and the food started coming :) -

Located in a strip mall kitty-corner to the Oakridge Mall, it is a spacious restaurant with ample seating and comfortable vibe. Because it's in a strip mall, there is a good amount of parking. The service is quick and friendly, making it a great spot for a relaxed meal. The food was a hit: Panang Curry: Very good flavor with a decent amount of meat, though it would have been a nice touch if it included a little potato to marinade in that sauce. The Whole Fish Special: We ordered a whole fish dish served in a sweet and spicy sauce. The fish was perfectly prepared, and the balance of sweetness and heat in the sauce was excellent. In Thai culinary culture, serving a fish whole with the head and tail intact is symbolic of prosperity and good fortune. I know some people think it's weird but just try it!

This review is long overdue. I have enjoyed Thai Spice of Willow Glen since its inception. Up until…read more18 months ago, I lived in Willow Glen (San Jose burb) for 20 years. I now live in Santa Clara - and I love it. It's been an adjustment downsizing from 1M folks and all it's offerings to a 200k ish college town. A note of mention, the food scene in Santa Clara packs a punch. It's compact yet an epic food scene in its own right. Particularly various Asian cuisine. With all that said, I have yet to find a spot that holds a candle to this TS location. From the great parking, ADA compliance, interior ambiance, extremely clean, seasonal Spirit, immediate greetings, hospitality, patient yet quick service, incredible degree of spices (nothing spared) and nice portions- no lie, every other place falls short of the glory. Coupled with gorgeous plating and reasonable price points, it's a grand slam. I could literally eat here on the daily. I'll see you this Sunday

We ordered spicy Thai fried rice, pad Thai, egg rolls, and chicken satay. It was okay - the texture was odd on the chicken satay; the rice was not spicy but the jalapeños were hot which were served on the side. Even though it was near closing time, we didn't feel rushed but we got out by 9:30 closing regardless.

If you loved Chinese dinner nights then, with the pressed white table cloths, booths with plump burgundy benches, where you were served the classics like Mongolian Beef, potstickers, and "dry sautéed green beans", this is your spot. A dinner here is served complete with an extra serving of nostalgia. Service is friendly and the food good. Expect the Chinese-American classics but not the latest trends. Blue Sky serves the food you remember well and with a smile many years after so many of its peers have faded away. This restaurant is a well-loved institution that has withstood the tests of time for 40 years even as Campbell has constantly evolved and shifted around it. For some reason the parking lot is always full even when the restaurant isn't. Don't let this fool you. (Take out menu (zoom for prices) and pic of my soon to be devoured dinner included)
