Blackened Tuna Sashimi at Asiasf

201 9th St, San Francisco, CA

Asia SF's Blackened Tuna Sashimi is comprised of seared ahi tuna slices with a lemongrass beurre blanc & pickled vegetable salad. It's not bad stuff, considering the fact that what you're really paying for is watching the "ladies" dance on the bar: http://www.flickr.com/photos/lipsticktraces/4577406556/

Top Sirloin Dip at Adamsons French Dip

806 West El Camino Real, Sunnyvale, CA

This is actually a little better than a 7 (not quite an 8) -- but I just betcha their Prime Rib Dip will be a 9 or better ;-) Adamson's butters, then grills, the buns -- and the dip/au jus is savory and salty -- yet not too salty. Good stuff. This place is cute -- and tiny -- and has an extensive selection of artisan root beers! AND makes a root beer float that looks *killer*! Can't wait to go back and try the Prime Rib as well as the barbecue sandwiches (drenched in sauce) -- and the awesome looking French Fries!

Si Foo Chicken with Black Bean Sauce at Brandy Ho's Hunan Food

217 Columbus Ave, San Francisco, CA

"Tender diced chicken sauteed with bell pepper, carrots, hot and sour sauce, garlic, young bamboo shoots, and fresh minced ginger" -- white meat one dollar extra -- and a bit less oily than it was in past years. Brandy Ho's seems to be updating its food to meet what changing times/customers are asking for (less oil/fat), yet the talented wok chefs still send out food with plenty of flavor. Good stuff -- even better the next day!
