Neighborhood Chow

Earlier in the week, we had dinner with Staci at Joy Luck Place, a contemporary banquet hall-style Chinese restaurant, not far from what will be our new place on Crystal Springs Road.  Judging from its patrons, the place appears to be a magnet for Peninsula ABC's, almost more so than the Straits Cafe in Palo Alto or Fook Yuen in Millbrae.  And for good reason.  The food is pretty good.  Fresh, authentic, and not greasy at all.  Mushrooms wrapped in tofu skins were especially good, as was the mixed seafood soup.  Can't wait to try their dimsum service one of these weekends, especially given the short bike ride from our soon-to-be new home.  The San Francisco Chronicle ran a review of their only other locale in Cupertino (link here).  Now if I could just find a good Korean restaurant in the area.
