-
- I've been supporting the restaurant business along Castro for 10 years now,
- so here's one opinion:
-
- House of Yee: varies from B up to A-; very good whole fish dishes;
- closes relatively early in the evening; no clear regional affiliation
- (i.e., Mandarin, Cantonese, etc.) that my round-eyes can discern
-
- Fu Lam Mum (I *think* that's right): very clearly a Hong Kong
- (Cantonese) style seafood restaurant; within this domain A- to A;
- about the best straightforward seafood dishes I've had in the South
- Bay, at least
-
- Szechuan Garden: somewhat Westernized stuff (i.e., closer to American
- notions of some Chinese dishes rather than Chinese), but generally
- quite good; B to B+; good appetizers, excellent brocolli with garlic
- sauce
-
- Kirin: Cantonese seafood plus inferior versions of Mandarin dishes
- for the round-eyes; seafood - B+ to A-, others - C+ to B; open until
- midnight seven days a week (sometimes making it a *very* attactive
- option!); draws a very large Asian crowd late at night, especially on
- Sundays
-
- others: from either personal experience, or hear-say, most of the
- other Chinese places are reminiscent of the dreadful sorts of places
- that our parents used to take us to when we were kids (for those of
- us who aren't Chinese [or were very unlucky!])
-
