Coffee is good but man I want to give this place an extra star, but 2 days in a row without sausage muffins at 9:30 in the morning? And no pairing option with these other food items you do have? Com' on.... : ( I will still give them three stars though because they are nice and their coffee lives up to the Starbucks standard.

Not bad, I come here to get my morning Bold Blend but the last few times I have gotten it, it has tasted burnt. Also they did not honor the breakfast sandwich + coffee special if you ordered a larger drink size than Tall. I thought that was odd because I would think businesses would want to upsell more expensive products. Oh well. I will keep coming back since it is so close to work.

This place has gotten better. Seems like there has been less theft lately. Just park somewhere within eye shot distance of the security cameras, that seems to deter theft. Machines inside are up to date. I really like the hex weight sets and also the stationary bicycles when it is raining outside.

This is a really nice gym, with lots of amenities inside. EXCEPT, they need to do something about the personal item thefts that occur in the parking lot. It seems like every time I go to this gym, I see at least some broken glass on the ground from cars that were burglarized. So it would be a good idea not to have anything inside your car that's in plain site, therefore making a thief think it is a good idea to rob your car. Keep your stuff in your trunk or not in your car at all and you should be ok.

I had a great chicken quesadilla today from Los Pericos. It was called "The Big One" and it is definitely big. Props.

I had a great super burrito today. Just check out the sweet pictures! Get it with beans and cheese on top, I personally guarantee you will not go home hungry and if you still truly are hungry just grab some chips over by the salsa bar!

I like this place. The food here is not bad. If you get a chance try the chicken or carne asada wet burrito. A cool feature of this restaurant is the salsa bar and the all you can eat chips. The prices are pretty reasonable too about $5-10 per person depending on how much food you want to eat.

I went at 11:30pm on Sunday night.

Pluses:

Open late
Drinks aren't bad
Drink Service was fast
Staff seemed friendly when I was there.
Plenty of chairs

Minuses:

Don't all these kids at the restaurant need to go to school?
Loud and obnoxious clientele.
Food service seemed slow.

Not to shabby. Felt kind of hot inside the restaurant. They could of just opened the door because it was pretty nice outside. The food was of better quality than I expected for being the all you can eat style. To bad they did not have more servers, they had this one poor girl working the whole restaurant, so the service was slower than expected. But all and all not bad.

Burger King Restaurant No 2795

Category: Restaurants

10/22/2009

The coffee here was terrible, no wonder it comes with all the value meals as standard, so you have to upgrade to something else. And Burger King, does your coffee cup have to be shaped like a funnel ? The cup is so unstable, that when I put it down on my desk, I mean almost perfectly straight down on my desk, the darn thing fell over, good thing there is a semi-stable lid or the coffee would of all poured out. I guess on the plus side the watered-down coffee comes out of the carpet easy enough. Sadly the meal was not cheap either, $5.92 for bad coffee, ok medium hashbrown and an ok croissant? bleh. No smile from the service attendant either, over all, just a meh experience at Burger King today.

Dumpling House Restaurant

Category: Chinese

This place makes a mean vegetable dumpling! The veggies are minced up to microscopic bytes and blended to make a nice filler for the dumplings inner being. Also the veggie combination is very good too if your into to pickled veggies that have a sour vinigury punch to them.

Review from 7/6/2009. Listing moved do to being listed at the wrong location.

Pretty good pizza. A little on the expensive side but they do give you free bread. I had a October Pizza special which had squash on it with garlic creamy sauce as the base.

Normally I love this place! But their Crazy Monkey roll was not what I remembered. Maybe if I have someone who would like to go there with me sometime, I will go back to give them another try but for now I think I will still stick to just eating at home when it comes to Japanese food. Maybe someday I will return.. Service was friendly though. Secret Lunch Buffet menu is currently $16.95. If you would like to check out my old pictures of what the sushi used to look like please check out the photos. They are from Nov, 2008. Three stars for friendly, fast service and editable sushi. We got there before the student lunch rush.

AIR BART

Good, but you need exact change for the fair. Arrg. Had a $10 bill for me and my friend. The fair cost $3. We asked another person if they wanted to give us $3 in change and then we could use $9 of our $10 bill for the three of us to get on the bus. (We did all this before the BART bus arrived, so not to drive people on the Bus crazy, waiting for us to try and get close to exact change as possible) The person with with the $3 was nice and said yes to our deal, so we only lost a dollar instead of $4 dollars because we did not want to scout around the Airport for change. Anyhow its a pretty clean shuttle but it would of been cooler if the Bus Stop had a BART card machine so we could of had the option of using a credit card to refill our Bart tickets so we could pay the fair with exact change.
