Nice. Where in SD are they living? Is Danielle the one who was married to DCR? I'm good friends with his step brother.
I personally like El Indio (Mexican) on 1114 NE Halsey. Good portion main meals for $9 - $12. They use huge Margitas for like $4. http://www.yelp.com/biz/el-indio-portland. I have always been stuffed when I leave and my stomach is never upset. The only downside is that your clothes will smell like the restaurant once you leave.
If you're even in Lafayette, stop at Martha's Tacos for delicious mex. We make the small detour there sometimes when we're heading to the coast through McMinnville. Place is the bomb, and inexpensive.
Went to Wong's King Seafood restaurant this weekend after I heard good reviews. I knew it was going to be good dim sum as soon as I got in there and looked around and noticed we were the only Caucasian people there. Then it was affirmed when I asked for a fork and got dirty looks from everyone in the restaurant. I got the crispy garlic chicken and the shrimp dumplings with fried rice. So delicious. Best chinese food I've ever had bar none.
hey, how is Ox restaurant? Going to PDX next weekend, thinking about that.... any other recos on Chinese? Taking relatives out for lunch. The usual standby is Thien Hong on Sandy for their pepper salted squid, etc. Anything better? Wong's King is around there too...but i've been to it when it was in beaverton and it was just meh.
I've been there 5-6 times, love it. Might actually go there for a group dinner on Saturday with friends but not sure what their plans are.
Wong's King is yesterday's news. It's all about Ocean City now (or so I'm told by my Chinese relatives). I've only been there for dim sum and I liked it better. I think Wong's King has some...higher end...things (stuff with lobster, etc), but we don't order that, so it doesn't matter to us.
As sushi? Or in a dish? I know I've seen Mirugai at one of the better sushi spots in SD, so I'm sure you can get it in LA. I've never had it in a dish though. Actually, I've never ordered Mirugai either
