When a truck I was borrowing need asap repairs I brought it here and pleaded with them to fix a busted power steering line. They were super friendly and accommodating, finding the part for a pretty old truck and repairing it in about 2 hours.

The work they did was top-notch (been working on a race car for 6 months now, so I know it when I see it). Highly recommended.

Fast, inexpensive and a well-done job. No complaints!

Hak (the owner) was very responsive via e-mail and phone. He asked plenty of questions to make sure he understood what we wanted painted. We had a simple job, just one wall and it was painted quite well.

The painter was very fast and quiet. He did not leave any mess behind and all the edges of our wall were perfectly straight, even though all our walls have a very rough texture.

Highly recommended.

Definitely one of the cheapest and cleanest parking garages in SF. Easily accessible, brightly lit, cheap and safe (afaik). Takes credit cards and cash.

Not much else to say, it's a parking garage.

I've been to the California Cafe three times now and I've never been disappointed. Great service, food and ambiance.

Their prix fixe menu is an awesome deal, usually worth much more than what you'd pay for each item individually. I also love their brunch, the french toast are the best.

Overall a great restaurant with good food and service.

Overall very nice place. I took my previous and wife's car there a few times. Very friendly and attentive. They deal with the insurance company and Enterprise, so you have very little to deal with.

The owner/manager is really friendly and will show you pictures of your damage and email them to you if you want.

I would definitely go back and recommend them to friends.

Just saw Dr. Yeh for the first time for a few minor issues and overall she was really good. Very friendly, professional and caring. She's really efficient and was able to take care of my issues quickly.

Not much else to say other than she's great!

Rangoli India Restaurant

Great food, good decor and ambiance. Rangoli is a great upscale Indian restaurant. They even have a wine list, which is nice.

My wife and I went here last week and ordered the Lamb Korma, Paneer Saag`walla and Naan. All were wonderfu, full of flavor and spices. Definitely the best Indian I've had.

Even after we turned down dessert, they gave us an egg less custard for free, which was nice. It wasn't very good though, pretty plain and bland.

Overall a good restaurant for those craving a nice dinner and some really tasty Indian food.

Downtown Dogs

I love Downtown dogs. After visiting about 5 other dog kennels/daycare places in the Valley, Downtown dogs was #1 by a huge margin.

First off, the facilities are great. Very clean, organized and plenty of room for dogs. They have 4 rooms with separate rooms for large, small and older dogs. The rooms have a soft plastic floor, toys and cages for dogs that get too wild.

The overnight areas are very nice with each dog getting a raised sleeping mat. You can pay for a more expensive 'suite' if you feel like giving your dog a TV and a webcam.

The other great part of Downtown Dogs is the staff. They are all extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Every time I drop my dog off they recognize him immediately (even the second time!). They also make the dogs sit before entering the play area, which is really nice.

The staff plays with the dogs all day and monitors their behavior. At the end of the day you usually get a 'report card' for your dog that lets you know of any problems.

Another great part of Downtown Dogs is their webcams. They are on all day except during 'nap time'. Even if you think it's a gimmick, it shows that they are willing to publicly show how they manage dogs. There's a lot less of a chance of maltreatment if they're being watched :) . It's also nice to check in every now and then and see how your dog is doing.

A+, highly recommended. They are worth every penny.

I went here for their New Years Eve tasting menu and was not impressed at all.

Disclaimer: I am a foodie, snob, picky, etc. Take this review with a grain of salt.

From the menu, website and Yelp reviews, this place seemed pretty cool. Unfortunately it's in a house with pretty old decor. The interior looked like a place my grandparents would live in.

Service was slow overall. Food was meh. It really felt like the chef was trying too hard. Big, crazy plates, even crazier plating for some foods. (Shrimp in shot glasses and lots of sauces drizzled and swirled around plates)

Bread: good. Bruschetta: really good. Asparagus with mozzarella inside baked bread: pretty good. Some sort of green spaghetti with crab: ok.

Lamb cutlet with mustard crust and chickpea mash: bad.  Lamb was ordered medium rare, but because it was about 1/8 inch thin, it was cooked completely. And greasy for some reason, felt like it was deep fried? The chickpea mash was terrible, no flavor.

Dessert was kinda bad too. A ton of not fresh whip cream around a pastry with some dried fruit. I couldn't identify the fruit because there was very little flavor.

Overall a subpar experience. I wouldn't recommend this place.
