Enjoy Vegetarian Restaurant  

Categories: Vegetarian, Chinese
Neighborhood: Inner Sunset

5 star rating
 7/5/2009  
Okay, this place is so good.  I'm fantasizing buying  the house across the street from it so I can eat there everyday.

There are tons of Chinese vegetarian restaurants in SF.  This one in my humble opinion the best.  We went there 3 weeks ago and  had returned 3 times.  After every meal there I became a happy man again.

Everything is fresh, the food comes fast and the staffs are friendlier than most Chinese restaurant.  So far  all the entrees  we ordered are great, especially entrees with sauce.

Our favorites so far, and there are many more to try:
Coconut sauce Taro and Pumpkin
Curry Taro,
Gold Knot.
Spinach and Pine Nut fried rice.

The best vegetarian Indian food in California!  

We live in the Bay Area and we love vegetarian Indian food so our standard is pretty high.  However, Mehek Pujab is the best.

Thanks for fellow Yelpers we found this place. Able to find places like this is what Yelp is all about!  

 Everything is great! The price is extremely reasonable.  We had 2 drink, garlic naan, and 2 dishes and rice.  The whole thing only cost us $23 and we had plenty to take home after the meal.

the garlic naan is awesome.  we took some home and it taste every better the next day!

The mango lassi is great. we also love the Masala Dosa.

This is a must go in Fresno.

I love the sandwiches from Colombo.  The best in Pacifica. Their bread are made in house and they are great!  Be prepared to wait in line when you go. It's a take out place so find some where nice to have a picnic after you got your food.

Greasy, pricey,

For $14  I had small chicken sandwich, very greasy garlic fries that is over cooked and a fountain soda drink.  

I guess this place is some sort of cool teenager hang out with the "hip" urban art on the wall and hip music and the teenagers that work there.

If this is what their idea what "urban eat" is I guess I'm not that hip.

Cafe Marika

Comfort food for a chilly day.

Cafe Marika is small place. You'll miss it if don't look for it.  I'm glad I didn't. I don't know much about Hungarian food, but I imagine this what Hungarian comfort food is like

I had their Hungarian Goulash dinner.  It came with soup, entree and dessert.  The soup was some sort of spicy meat soup, very warm very tasty.  Perfect for a cold winter day.  The Goulash came with pork, home pasta and some pickles. The pork was very tender. homemade pasta was soft. and the pickle is fresh.  The entree was simple but very balance in taste. The best for of the dinner was the dessert,  homemade apple strudel.  When I told the chef how wonderful it is.  He pointed his finger to the waitress and said "she made it". It was so tasty I order one to go. The whole meal with an apple strudel was only $15, what a deal!  

Another thing, their bathroom is spotless, can't remember another restaurant this clean ever.

I definitely will come back here again .

Make sure to bring cash , they don't take credit card.

Best Vietnamese food in SJ

With so many good Vietnamese place in San Jose this one really stays out.  It's not your typical Vietnamese restaurant.

Everything is great there. there are my favorites: crisp rice flourcake with shrimp, any of the noodle soup,

Great place for for lunch, seabass,  any of the clay pot.

great place to take friend who are not used to Vietnamese food.

This place is crazy!  It has every string instrument  you can think of from every corner of the world.  I want to play everything when I'm there.   However if most of the instruments are not the highest quality.  Still it's a fun place to visit if you love strings.
