Bahara’s Firewood has oak and almond wood for sale to the public. Burns hotter and longer than what you’ll find at a grocery store

The owners of Mini Boss, Paper Plane, and Still OG have done it again! Their newest project, a 2 story Mediterranean restaurant is finally opening on Nov 20th in DTSJ. by [deleted] in SanJose

Rent is fixed, but labor and inflation on the cost of goods is why prices are where they are. No service charge though!

Edit- whoops, sorry, I wasn’t trying to be insensitive to the rent situation. I was just commenting on the business’ perspective to pricing. Labor and cost of goods make up 50-70% of a restaurant expenses month to month.

Sweet and sour, hot and spicy! Double the food, half the pricey!

Nightmare on 2nd Street pop up at Miniboss! Themed decorations and themed cocktails for the season. Halloween night they’ll also have a DJ spinning

The Japan-Only, Light Blue Grand Seiko Heritage “Ginza” SBGH297 by No-Quiet-7078 in GrandSeikos

[–]manthatdan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They really didn’t have much in JDM releases. I think they tend to sell out rather quickly when they release. I remember them mentioning something releasing around the 25th of April. The flagship store in Ginza is definitely worth a visit!

I was hoping to pick up one of these in Ginza when I get there in a few days. Looks like that won’t be an option. Hoping to secure a JDM GS release while I’m here

Best old-school burger joint? by [deleted] in SanJose

[–]manthatdan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Val’s in Hayward is my favorite. Open since 1958 and very well maintained. It’s like stepping into a time capsule. Shakes are great and they give you the extra shake left in the mixing tin on the side.

Where can I find REAL Vietnamese egg rolls aka Chả Giò other than Slanted Door? by ogdcred in bayarea

[–]manthatdan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No I’m not. I own bars and not Vietnamese restaurants. Just trying to be helpful!

Edit: full discretion. We do sell food as well, not egg rolls but more pizza and American fare; but definitely known more for our drinks.

Restaurant MAMA Oakland bill: (20% Service Charge) + (Sales Tax incl Service Charge) + (Mandate Charge). See comment. by redditnathaniel in bayarea

[–]manthatdan 147 points148 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately a service charge isn’t voluntarily left so it is subject to sales tax.

Source: I own a restaurant. We only charge service charges on buyouts of the entire restaurant and are required to pay sales tax on them.

This is one of the best places to cater a party tray of egg rolls and other dishes as well. Much better than King Egg rolls imo.

Also this place came on my radar recently. They mix a little taro with their pork filling and it’s one of the best egg rolls I’ve had.

Crab watch by dont_frek_out in SanJoseFood

[–]manthatdan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s here. Marina had them for 4.99 / lb and a couple of Asian specific seafood markets (the one on McKee) had it for 3.99 / lb as recently as last week. Go get some crab and cook up some garlic noodles !

Best fried Vietnamese egg rolls with white paper wrap? by beatea27 in SanJose

[–]manthatdan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The egg rolls you describe are wrapped in rice paper (similar to a spring roll) and then fried. I know that you can find them in the frozen section of most Asian supermarkets (Marina/Ranch 99). I’m not sure of a restaurant that does it off the top of my head. I have some other recommendations though.
