- Hunan Garden - Good food, but sometimes variable (both ways).
- Cops eat there so much my kids call it the police place.
-
- Eve's Hunan - I've always thought it overpriced with smallish portions,
- but I haven't eaten there in quite a while.

- Still OK, but used to be much better with larger portions (before
- they moved to their current location).

- I'd say good, not great.

- In (stereo) typical fashion, we worked out the real estate deal
- for our house here one afternoon around a small table, so it has
- sentimental value to me.

- Just OK in my book. There are a number of Thai places in
- Berkelely that are *much* better, to my taste, anyway.
-
- Now my recommendation:
-
- Hudson Bay Cafe - best lattes on the whole of College Ave., not
- just in Rockridge.
