The Best Things I Ever Ate
See All Lists
1. Annapurna
This review is for a la carte dinner.
Everything we had was delicious and well-seasoned -- three kinds of naan (regular, garlic, and keena), rice, lamb vindaloo, chicken tikka masala, and palak paneer. Their lamb vindaloo and palak paneer are…More »
2. Bayona
I am sad that I only got to have lunch at Bayona. There are so many things on the menu that I still want to try, so I'll have to go back another time. The fried veal sweetbreads that I had there were the best I have ever had the pleasure of…More »
3. Bistango
Bistango is my favorite upscale-but-still-casual dining restaurant in the Irvine area. The atmosphere is stylish yet relaxed, with a variety of art (for sale) on the walls and many tables under large red-and-black umbrellas. But the food is what…More »
4. BLT Burger
Although a bit pricey, the selection of unconventional shake and burger flavors at BLT Burger makes up for it. The lamb tandoori burger there is simply to die for. As my friend put it: "You don't want to swallow it because you don't want the…More »
5. Chicago Pizza & Oven Grinder Co
Chicago, IL 60614
(773) 248-2570
I am not giving this place 5 stars for their famous "pizza pot pies." Rather, I am giving this place 5 stars for their phenomenal house-made salad dressings (which come with the huge Chef Salad portions) -- a garlicy sour cream dressing that is…More »
6. Curry & More
After eating here for the first time, I couldn't want to go back. The second time was just as good as the first. Not only is the food fantastic, but the service and the ambiance are great, too.
I am totally in love with the Bhelpoori Chaat…More »
7. Devi
New York, NY 10003
(212) 691-1300
Category:
Indian
Neighbourhoods: Union Square, Flatiron
How Devi can have an average of only 3.5 stars on Yelp is beyond me. The Tandoor-Grilled Lamb Chop with Pear Chutney and Spiced Potatoes alone garners 5 stars for the restaurant and the chef. I can guarantee that you will never taste anything like…More »
8. Frostings Cupcakes
Frostings's Orange Twist cupcake is hands-down the best cupcake I have ever had. It is very moist, yet crumbly, and with a fantastic icing that is sweet but also just citrusy enough to be refreshing. It is the cupcake version of an orange…More »

Frostings is by far my favorite cupcakery in Orange County. It's hard to find cupcakes that have… Read more »
9. Georgio's Village Cafe
I would eat at Georgio's every week if I could, even though they don't serve fresh pasta and they're an Italian joint.
The Vodka Riggis (rigatoni with a smokey, not-as-creamy vodka sauce filled with caramelized onions and pancetta) are so AMAZING…More »
10. House of Prime Rib
San Francisco, CA 94109
(415) 885-4605
Category:
Steakhouses
Neighbourhood: Nob Hill
I have been dining here since 1988, and HoPR has never once disappointed me. There is no better prime rib -- perfectly seasoned and cooked, served with delicious creamed spinach, mashed (or baked) potato, and the most egg-y, fluffy Yorkshire pudding…More »
11. Ivar's Fish Bar
Seattle, WA 98104
(206) 467-8063
Categories:
Seafood,
Fast Food,
Fish & Chips
Neighbourhood: Downtown
This is the best fish 'n chips I have ever had in my life. Though fried, neither the fish nor the chips/fries were greasy. The breading was light and flavorful, and the fish was moist and fresh on the inside. I only wish I had gotten a larger…More »
12. KITCHEN 1540
Just went to Kitchen 1540 again for the upteenth time, but this time it was after a pretty long hiatus of almost six months. We were excited to try some new items on the menu (e.g., pumpkin risotto, whole roasted tai snapper, pan seared black cod,…More »

Believe it or not, I made the drive out to Del Mar AGAIN last night to dine at Kitchen 1540 -- and… Read more »
13. Lee's Sandwiches
I've been to a few Lee's Sandwiches locations and this one does not stand out as particularly good or bad, although note that it is a small location with one person working the register and at most two people during peak times making the sandwiches,…More »
14. Oceanaire Seafood Room
We came here on Wednesday night and there was an hour-plus wait even with a reservation. So I was already quite annoyed and "over it" by the time we got seated. But at the end of the night, I walked away a happy patron, satisfied by a wonderful…More »
15. Shimbashi Izakaya
Del Mar, CA 92014
(858) 523-0479
Categories:
Sushi Bars,
Japanese
Neighbourhood: Del Mar
I went back tonight because I was craving the awesome Mentai Udon, and ended up really enjoying my experience overall, so I'm upping my rating from 2 stars to 4 stars (rounded up from what is probably more like 3.5 stars).
I attribute my enjoyment…More »

I'm not really sure why this place is so popular -- the food is mostly tasty but pricey for what it… Read more »
16. SusieCakes Bakery
it's a mixed bag:
5* for the strawberry frosting (I can literally spend all day licking up this frosting) and for January's "seasonal" banana cupcake with chocolate chips (it's like they baked a whole banana into this cupcake)
2* for their cake…More »
17. Sweet Basil Bistro
This review is for lunch, during which the famed lobster lasagna/mac & cheese and the steaks aren't available, so our experience was kind of meh.
We started with the crab cake with apple & fennel salad, which was yummy, but not worth $10 for 2 little…More »
18. Thanh Binh II
I have been coming here since 1997 and it is still the best pho I have ever had (even better than pho restaurants in Little Saigon!). Although you have to ask for it, they serve their pho with the flattened wide noddles as well. And their…More »
19. Boudin SF
Boudin SF serves one of the best and definitely the freshest tasting Caesar salads around. Their croutons are simply to die for. My friend and I both experience serious cravings for this Caesar salad on a weekly basis -- and I'm really not that much…More »
20. Portofino Bistro Italiano
I have gotten several emails now asking where folks can find the delicious-looking pizza featured in my profile photo -- the answer is Portofino, and I am proud to finally be writing a review about it here.
Portofino's pizza is the epitome of crispy…More »
