Courtney Y.'s Profile

I am a very petite white girl with small feet. I have bad luck finding shoes that fit me. I drive from Walnut Creek to San Jose just to go to this place located in an Asian mall. I don't know the man's name that run's the shop but he is very helpful and speaks English. He knows just by looking at your feet what shoe will work or not work on your foot.  He is also very reasonably priced. I have gotten several pairs of shoes for one pair I will pay at Nordstrom's and the shoes look just as good. If you love shoes and have midget feet like I do.. check this place out.

This place is sooo good. So good I came back twice to the mall just for crepes. I've tried their breakfast and desert crepes and both are excellent. Not many crepe places get the texture of a  crepe right. This one gets it right. They make them very thin which is the way a crepe should be.
      I would give them five stars but they are in a poor location. They should reconsider moving it to another place or a different location in the mall as it is in the back of the mall and often dismissed. I have been to Sun Valley many times but never saw this place until recently.  It's also not a fast food so if you are looking for a quick bite go elsewhere because there is a wait to get the crepe made. It is very much worth the wait.

I'm not sure if this is the right Lee's sandwich as I found several in San Jose. If it is the place I went to, they have excellent sandwiches. I ordered the bbq grilled pork #5 on the menu last night. The bread was freshly baked and warm and the Asian veggies and pork were delicious. If I am in the area I will go back here. Very cheap sandwiches priced at about $3.50 each.

All I got to say is WTF!!! I walked in to this place last night with my girlfriend who is Vietnamese. I don't know how this place is during the day but there is something very shady about this place. When my friend and I entered the place it was dimly lit with music blasting. The waitresses were all Asian and were dressed extremely provocative, reeked of perfume,  and had tattoos of cigarette burns on their wrist.  My friend and I didn't pay too much attention because we were hungry so we sat down. The waitresses barely acknowledged us and gave us dirty looks. We started off with a order of crawfish. I have never had crawfish so I can't compare it to much but I will say it was very good. I just didn't feel relaxed in this place. I then looked around and noticed all the people including the waitresses were smoking inside the restaurant. Isn't it illegal to smoke in CA restaurants? I also noticed there were no women inside this restaurant besides the provocatively dressed waitresses. Then I noticed the waitresses would serve a meal and then sit down with a table of men and talk to them. They would then rotate tables. My friend said it was like a hostess.
      I tried to ignore that we were in a place we probably shouldn't have been because I was hungry. I decided I wanted to order something else but everything on the menu was extremely expensive.. a side order of rice $35. ? What are they really serving here?? Then when we went to pay I noticed men walking out the back out of a beaded area? When I went to give my credit card to pay, the woman told my friend in Vietnamese she didn't take credit cards.  When I went to give her cash she said she didn't  have any cash to give back for change. What kind of place doesn't have change?? I guess this place, which I will not be going back to. Too bad because their crawfish was good which is why I am giving in 3 stars. I just don't want to get shot.

I came here once before and the service was excellent. The waitor was very friendly and the food was really good.
       I came here with my friend that is Asian. Us white folks don't know good Asian food from bad but my friend does. We ordered the same as what I had ordered before. The waiter was still very polite which is why I am giving it two stars. However, the food was really lousy. I kept talking about this place to my friend and we were both disappointed when we went back. Maybe they were having an off night. In fairness to them it was late when we went and almost closing time.  I probably won't be going back here again though as the food turned my stomach.

The gentleman that does the shoe repairs is truly an artist. He takes the time to tell you honestly what can or cannot be done with a shoe. It seems like he can pretty much fix any shoe problem considering he is taking apart two of my shoes and fixed instantly about 10 pairs of my favorite heels that had minor problems. He is also very polite, and extremely reasonable in price.
      I am so glad to find such a wonderful place in my neighborhood. I will never go to another shoe repair person again. This man is by far the best!

This place practically gives away tanning.

          I went to this tanning salon today and found the place on the inside to be very clean and  nice looking. I wanted to try out their beds before purchasing a package. Typically most tanning salons charge around $10-12 for a single tan. This place charged $13 for three tans. I can't yet give it five stars because I haven't gone long enough to see results. However, they offer unlimited tanning for $19.99. Where else can you find unlimited tanning for that price?

          If my skin does not react in a negative way to their beds I will be getting a membership here.

In 2001 I was having horrible stomach pain and went to Dr. Eyvazzadeh. I hadn't had a cycle in over a year and no one could seem to figure out what was wrong.

      Dr. Eyvazzadeh did an ultra sound and told me I need to go in for surgery immediately because I had a large mass on one of my ovaries. After he performed the surgery he told me it wasn't a mass but an enlarged ovary due to PCOS.

        I had no idea what PCOS was and he didn't give me any information on it. He just told me I was fine and handed me a pack of birth control. He didn't offer any treatment or offer any help for the pain I was having.

        I am giving him two stars though since he did figure out pretty quickly a name for the condition that I have.

I went to this doctor several years ago and was not happy with her demeanor and lack of help/knowledge.
   
     I went to her when I was around 21 because I had gone a year without cycles. She was dismissive to my problems and even told me my problems were in my head.
 
    She did not offer any treatment to me even after I called several times. She never returned any of my calls.
       
    I ended up finding out from another doctor who took my symptoms more seriously that I have a condition called PCOS.
     
    I have no respect for a doctor that does not offer help to their patients and is not humble enough to admit when they are unaware of what the cause of the condition may be.

A couple years ago I saw a very unique advertisement for a show they were putting on. The show sold out but I was able to catch it just in time last year.

       I was a little hesitant about going considering their site has a long warning list regarding the location. I even called the place and the woman who I spoke with also enforced how dangerous the location was.

       During the time of the show there was rioting going on in Oakland.
   
          I decided to be brave and go any way without a bullet proof vest. I'm really glad I went because they put on an amazing show.

        The Crucible building is a warehouse where they do welding. It is in an industrial area and the building has fire on the outside.

         The show was a fire opera. A mix of people dancing through fire, blowing fire and singing. I loved it so much. So much that I want to go back. I believe they do a show every year.

        As far as the location.. it  didn't seem too scary and I am a snob about that kind of thing.  I would imagine when there is no show going on the  place might be creepy but there was a ton of people and families walking to and from the show.

        The tickets were only $25 which is hard to believe. The seating is  first come but all of the seats are pretty good. They are benches that are raised high up so you overlook everything.

        If you get tickets bring a coat because it is in a warehouse and can be chilly.

        Great show, friendly people and will go back again.
