Worked out over here on a guest pass with my homie before hitting up the club in the city.  Place is in a small shopping plaza and doesn't look that big from the outside, but the main part of the place is underground.  But yeah, place looks pretty big, but I'm sure it gets a lot more crowded on days that aren't on Friday night.  Wish they had some paper towel dispensers to wipe off all that dirty sweat for people who don't bring a towel to the gym like myself vs. just having those air dry blowers in the locker room.

I like their flat screen TV setup by the cardio equipment more than the Bally's in ESSJ off of Capitol Expressway that I used to work out at.

I get claustrophobic in small enclosed places.  Place is the basement (the cellar) of Agenda.  It's alright depending on who's promoting the party.  Got 1 bar, a bathroom, some lounge couches and chairs to chill on, and a dance floor.  A-OK for Man Jose!

Finally came here last night.  Felt like I was in some hyphy music video.  Seemed like the dance floor was a buncha hynas aged 21-41 gettin down with fellas of all sizes and colors to that reggaeton and top 40 radio hip hop music.  Then the other room by the pool table was straight East Oakland ghetto and was getting really hype when we walked in there for a quick minute.  Got 2 DJs playing (1 in each room).  Some bottle service areas.  And the bar is impossible to get to cause apparently everyone who goes here drinks a lot.

Yeah...Only went in cause homeboy's white ex-gf used to bartend here and got us in for free without having to wait in their like 10-15 minute long wait.  Shit was pretty funny seeing all those Mexican and Black dudes waiting in line stare at my Vietnamese homeboy with that look on their faces going, "How the hell dis Asian cat be gettin down with that fly white girl who talla than he is?!"

And someone tell me why when the DJ shouted out to all the single ladies in the crowd with no babies, every single girl in this place went all wild screaming and I'm sure at least a quarter of them had to have had at least 1 baby or abortion by now.  Just saying...

Any liquor store that you can buy your flask of whatever the hell you feel like dranking that night and soda to pregame with before the club, a pack of stogs, a pair of fake Jordans, a fitted SF cap, some bling bling, a box of Trojan Magnums, and a XXXL gangster looking t-shirt to sleep in with your future gf later that night all at the same spot gets an A+ in my book.

Homeboy over here got some gangster 9-camera security camera system that zooms in on moving objects that give off heat that you can see on the flat screen TV.

Went here on a Sunday night cause some short Viet promoter chick gave us free passes.  Heard this place used to be called Tangerine.  Was literally in here for only like 15-20 minutes or like 3-4 songs or something like that.  Got in for free in like 2 minutes since there was no line at all.  Mexican bouncer called me and my friend gangsters from San Jose and Garlic Town cause he was from the bay too.  Har har har...Funny guy, but yeah.

They had the Filipino DJs over here, so it was all ass bumpin hip-hop music getting bumped over here.  Too bad the place was small and the crowd wasn't as crackin.  Liked the music, not the venue or the crowd on a Sunday night.  I'm sure it's better on a Friday or Saturday night, but I'd probably rather spend a Friday or Saturday night in Vegas elsewhere like XS.  But good bump-n-grind hip-hop music over here if you're looking to party somewhere small and not as big in Vegas.

Minus 2 stars for the Ed Farty gear!  Esta no bueno!!!

Ate here the other day with homeboy.  Seems like a spot for all the corporate folks around Sunnyvale and Mountain View to hit up for lunch during the week.  Place gets pretty packed for lunch.

They give you pager buzzers for when your food is ready.  Got a little bakery here too with cookies, bread, and other goodies.

I got the Hot Cheesy Steak Sandwich which was pretty good, but I can't lie and have to say that I was expecting a little more food for the $8 or whatever it was that I paid for it with tax.  Good place to try out for a light healthy lunch sometime though.

I give it like 3.75 stars or so.

Went here on Saturday night.  -  And this place lived up to all the hype I've been hearing about.  Place is beautiful...

Best club I've ever been to hands down!  -  Wish I could say the same about the music they played, but I guess all Las Vegas DJs have to cater to "all crowds."

$30 to get in.  Got in line at like 9:10pm after gambling for like 15-20 minutes since when we got to the front of the line at 8:45PM, there was no one even waiting in line yet. Waited till 10pm for the line to start and it only took like 3 mins to pay our $30 cover to get in and the line was probably a good 400-500 people deep by the time they opened, but there was only around 50 people in front of us.  Met some girls here from San Jose who were cousins with a high school homie and got to chill in their other cousin's bachelor party cabana and got free dranks the rest of the night which was pretty dope too. Their Cabanas and bed lounges were pretty damn nice.  Ladies like to dance barefoot in the ankle deep water next to the dance floor lounge area.  Seems like they don't care if you roll with all dudes, but I'm sure they might later on in the night, but the bouncers here seemed hella cool compared to like Tao and other Vegas clubs, and the ratio was still hella good.  They played some weird music here at the beginning of the night (play more of that hip-hop bump-n-grind music and less of that house and loungey music please! - you can play that other shit for them 30-35+ year old parties), especially on Sunday night where thy charge $20 and close off the lounge area around the pool and the gambling area, but we got comped free passes for swinging by around 9:30PM on Sunday night.  Average age demographics go up about 5-10 years on Sunday nights too compared to the Saturday night that we went.  Drinks are Vegas expensive as should be expected too.  Hot bartenders, hostesses, and go-go dancers galore.

And at what other club can you gamble and play cards at while you're inside?!

PhuuuKaaang!!!

Cost like $7 something for a large bowl of Chicken Noodle Pho cause I was hella sick at lunch with that influenza bug and needed me some warm chicken noodle soup, but yeah...One of the largest bowls of Pho I ever had before and surprisingly I finished all of the noodles, veggies, chicken, and almost all the broth too.  I also got the lychee fruit drink too, which was pretty good.  Spent like $13 on all that with tax and tip.

Place is right across the street from the light rail station and right next to CISCO central off Tasman.  Seemed like half the people eating lunch over here worked for CISCO just by the way they were dressed and looked.  Place gets pretty crowded during the lunch hour rush from around 12PM-1:30PM or so.

Finally ate here last week with the co-workers to welcome a new employee.

Didn't really like the spicy soup they serve before your meal.  Didn't have much taste to me.

The light croissant-like bread they serve with some curry-like sauce was okay.

But the food was pretty good.  We had the pineapple fried rice, some beef veggie curry plate, the lamb, and the mango prawns, which was all good.

Place gets really busy from around 12PM-1:30PM or so, so if you plan on coming here, I'd suggest on arriving before 11:30AM.

Thought this sign in the bathroom was hilarious - http://photos-h.ak.fbc...

Had that #42 vegetables and noodles with shrimp and a strawberry pineapple smoothie with pearls for like $11.50 plus tax and tip.  Food was alright.  Most Viet food tastes the same to me, so it was good, but nothing super special.

They had a flat screen TV show with some Viet show playing that looked like the Vietnamese version of WowWowWee.
