When my mom visits from Illinois, we always go to Cafe Su twice during the week she's here. This is the best Chinese food I've ever had... always fresh-tasting, real vegetables (not canned) and delic...

All right, I normally don't respond to other posters, but Georgia's piece inspired me. The only tuna I am aware of Star Bar serving is the Ahi tuna. Ahi tuna is at its best when it is raw or barely se...

Pizza Eater wrote a review for Bordenaro's

2:32 pm - Jul 14, 2010

I think this is some of the best pizza in town! I enjoy that they have Cappicola as a topping selection. Try the cappicola and pineapple for a delicious collision in flavor.

I think the...

8:52 pm - Jul 6, 2010

Whilst the sushi / sashimi is so-so/ok when compared to most places on the West Coast (and I spend 1 week a month in the Bay Area eating sushi at least twice per trip), it's arguably the best (of a ba...

1:51 pm - Jun 21, 2010

Not the place to go if you are on a lunch hour. Waited over 45 minutes and that was for the special. Slow at filling water. Food was at least hot when it arrived and was good but not anything special....
