A small and cozy Korean spot located inside a shopping plaza that serves a few staples such as…read moresoondubu jjigae, oxtail soup, bibimbap etc. Their menu is on the leaner side but they have enough variety to have a good spread. We ordered the tofu soup and oxtail soup. I honestly didn't enjoy the tofu soup much, it was heavily flavored with msg and it overpowered the gochugaru and lacking traditional flavor. It wasn't for me. On the opposite, the oxtail soup was pretty solid and we would order it again. The other letdown was the banchan, it was unfortunately very bland, especially the kimchi which was very under seasoned. Overall, not a bad spot to have a comforting meal but note the flavors might not be consistent with traditional flavors.

I'd been craving that spicy grilled fish from Earl Spicy for months. I'd talked about it so much…read morethat this time, instead of just dragging my husband, I brought the kids and my son's friend too. I was basically forming a fan club. But right before we left, my husband looked up the hours and said, "Wait... it's called Taste of Four Seasons now?" Uh, what? Did Earl Spicy close? Yelp still showed it alive and well, so we decided to go check it out anyway. My heart was already committed. We got there around 7 PM on a Friday. A few tables were filled -- seemed like a good sign. Plenty of servers, but no sign of the old owner. I started feeling a little nervous. We looked through the menu... no spicy grilled fish. Cue quiet panic. I pulled out my phone and showed the server a picture from our last visit. She said they still have it -- it's just made differently now and it's really good. Also, they now use a fresh fish called 多寶魚 instead of the frozen fish Earl Spicy used. Now, my husband and I thought we had decent Chinese, but we had no idea what 多寶魚 was. We stared at the tank she pointed to, still clueless. And honestly, if Earl Spicy really used frozen fish, they fooled us -- it never tasted frozen. I asked how much it was, since it wasn't on the menu. She said $42 per pound, usually around 1.5 pounds. I figured maybe $65-70. More than Earl Spicy's $48 XL version, but hey -- I am here for it. We ordered a few other dishes too. First came the "New Style Sweet and Sour Pork & Shrimp." The menu said pork and chicken, but the server said it was a typo -- it's actually pork cheek and shrimp. It ended up being the best dish of the night. The shrimp was excellent, 5/5. The pork cheek was good too, just a little fatty -- maybe 4/5 for me. My husband wanted Szechuan pepper chicken. The server said the kitchen could make it, even though only a tea-flavored version was listed. What we got was stir-fried chicken with jalapeños. Not deep-fried, not spicy, just... dry. It didn't really land. My son's friend loves fried rice, so we got the $19.95 special fried rice. It came out shaped like a fish -- super cute. First bite though? "Why is this so hard and dry?" the kids asked. I tried it -- yup, same. Crunchy in a weird way, like it had been sitting on the heat too long. I asked the server, and she apologized and had the kitchen remake it. The second version was slightly better, but still dry. Maybe that's just how they do it. Next came the salted fish eggplant casserole. It was only $9.85, but no one really touched it. Just not great. And finally, the main event: the fish I'd been dreaming about. It arrived in the same tray as before, but no tea light underneath. Not a big deal. They'd added a mountain of flat noodles (河粉) underneath, but the fish itself? Dry. Bland. Not the spicy grilled fish I remembered. The sauce was thin, almost like gravy, and the noodles were just soaked sadly in it. A friendly lady (maybe the new owner?) came by and explained that the restaurant now serves southern Chinese-style food, which is different from Earl Spicy's. I smiled politely, but inside I was crying, Why didn't you say that before we ordered? She brought out complimentary glass jelly for dessert -- nice touch. I liked it, but the kids thought it was too bitter. Then came the bill. The fish? $111.77. I did a double take. How was that 2.6 pounds?! I thought about asking, but my husband gave me the look: "Let's just go." So we paid. With tax and tip, the total came out to nearly $240. Final verdict: RIP Earl Spicy. You were loved. You are missed. As for Taste of Four Seasons? Once was enough.

Right off the bat, the service is impressive here, especially for a Chinese restaurant. Their menu…read moreis extensive with beautiful pictures to help you decide. The price point is a little high and I wondered if it's because they're not getting too many customers and they're just trying to stay in business. The restaurant is quite roomy and decorated with an authentic flare. We were greeted by friendly faces who very warm in all of their interactions. Here's how everything ranked: $22.95 Salted egg prawns $21.95 Spicy fried fish $21.95 Garlic pea sprouts $13.95 Beef scallion pancake rolls I think these are pretty standard Chongqing province dishes. Our The salted prawns were definitely flavorful with umami goodness -- you can really taste a good amount of quality salted egg, the prawns were huge without too much batter and the dish was a good size. I also enjoyed the little corn crunchies. Second best was the fried fish. Their standard level is not very spicy even though it comes with a ton of red peppers so if you like it hot, then don't hesitate to let them know. I appreciate that they don't heavily batter their fish. Our dishes arrived surprisingly quickly, almost too quickly and I felt the dishes could've been hotter so I'm not sure if they were already premade and just kept on a warmer or what. All in all the meal was satisfying and Earl Spicy would probably hit the mark for a lot of people.

Personally, I can't get enough of their BBQ! My original review on Google: I was just looking for some late night food, to go, and I fell on this delight! One of those unexpected great finds that you're thrilled to have made, I ordered several BBQ items and a House Spicy Pot, which did not skimp on ingredients, (which sometimes, unfortunately, occurs at other restaurants), and then a Red Bean Paste Pudding which came with a really luscious green tea ice cream. It's been a long time since I enjoyed a meal so much, and so affordable! I was surprised. Everything was delicious, and I just want to return asap, truly. On top of that, the smiling gentleman who took care of me, who was at the register, as well, was very welcoming and brought me a dish of warm salted peanuts while I waited. Very nice. All around a really outstanding experience. I believe this is the first restaurant review I've been motivated to write a review about in many years!

Chinese BBQ is becoming more accessible in the Bay Area and I'm glad there is one in the Peninsula…read moreso I don't have to always drive down to the South Bay. This restaurant is next to a couple other Chinese restaurants that I frequent so I've been wanting to get it for awhile. The place itself is surprisingly roomy and I quite like the simple but clean decorations. For parking you do have to find on the streets but usually I can find some nearby. There is a BBQ warmer on the table but I don't think they use it often because it is extra cost for them. You order through the iPad thingy and it's convenient but you have to order alcoholic drinks through the waitresses. Foodwise it's decent BBQ. I liked most of the BBQ items especially the lamb kebab. They have the regular lamb kebabs and the willow lamb kebab and although I enjoyed the willow one in China I don't recommend it here as it's dry and hard. The chicken heart is overly done so not tender enough and chicken skin is also overdone. I actually liked the beef tripe appetizer and overall it's a good place to come by when I miss my Chinese BBQ. The service is attentive and both waitresses are nice and efficient so no complaints here. Oh even though this is a Chinese BBQ place but maybe because more people know about takitori so the decoration is somewhat Japanese but I don't think it's necessary.

I appreciated the quick service and reasonable prices. I'd like to come back to try more of their menu to find dishes more to my taste.

When I looked at the online ordering, it said it would take about 20 minutes, and my hotel was about a 20 minute ride away, so that worked out perfectly. I ordered the Sheriff and some seasoned fries and got on the road. Both the burger and fries were hearty and hit the spot. Overall, this perfectly nails a 4-star experience. The burger wasn't some kind of next level amazing, but it was just a perfectly enjoyable way to end my 4 days in the Bay Area. Hidden Spot is essentially the kitchen portion of a dive bar. I sat at a table with only one other patron in the place around 11am on a Saturday morning. The other patron was enjoying the ability to be fully in charge of the digital juke box while I was enjoying stuffing my face.
