Some good restaurants
Hey bay area lexus owners, I want to know where everyone goes to eat. I'm sure this has been asked before but I couldn't find it.
If I have a big group we'll go to Windy City pizza in San Mateo
or for late night grub after a concert nothing beats Heidi's Pies on el camino
What are your favorite spots?

Is that Thanh Long restaurant up in San Francisco any good? I was thinking of giving it a try when I was up there next, here's their blurb on the Internet
The first An family restaurant and home of their Secret Kitchen, Thanh Long opened in 1971 when grandmother Diana bought a 20 seat Mom and Pop diner in the quiet, oceanside Sunset area of San Francisco. In 1975, when the entire family arrived after fleeing the Communist take-over of South Vietnam, Diana's quaint establishment became the beginning of the now multi-million dollar restaurant empire. At its opening it was hailed as San Francisco's first Vietnamese restaurant and the crowds that include fans Harrison Ford and Danny Glover, regulars since before achieving their star status, have been packing Thanh Long ever since, enjoying its signature dishes, Roasted Crab and Garlic Noodles with Tiger Prawns, also featured at the other An Family restaurants. Thanh Long, a humble establishment 30 years ago, with an expansion that included moving into the neighboring video and barber shop, now delights 100's of customers nightly.

I'll have to try those places. But if you're all thinking in the City, has any one tried Barney's Burgers in the Castro? Probably the biggest most original burgers I've ever had, and they have some killer curly fries!

For the most bang for the buck and in the mood for japanese/chinese, melaka in san bruno is it.
Otherwise for more upscale, go to Todai in Daly City (and other cities). Both of these are all you can eat.
For prime rib: I like Black Angus in Foster City (House of Prime Rib in SF is very good, but pricier). For ribs: Armadillo ******, also in Foster City.
For the recent GTG, Elephant Bar & Grill in Burlingame is always good (as Chan can attest).

I need to check out the House of Prime Rib sometime...
there's 2 sushi places I like, Joshu-ya's on Dwight and Telegraph in Berkeley, and Tenkyu on 4th in San Rafael.

Celia's Mexican Restuarant in Daly city or Millbrae is pretty good, much better than Chevy's.
San Tung's (chinese/vietnamese) on Irving between 10th and 11th is good(hard to get parking and usually busy). Mmmm, dry fried chicken. Yummy.
Cheesecake Factory is also good (large portions, downtown SF in the Macy's building top floor).
