Nan Yang Restaurant Inc
Jan 30, 2008 by William from San Francisco
Overall Rating: 10

• The food, the ambiance, and the wine.
• It's a bit pricier than I had thought, but afterwards, I and two parties went with, concluded that it was well worth it.

“The chef creates an unusual blend of Southeast Asian, Chinese, and western delights. The best advice is to trust him to suggest dishes that he matches impeccably with wine. The chef is also a great narrator of how the ingredients for each of his unique dishes come together.”

• Parking can be limited.

“Oakland needs more quality restaurants in this league. Not only is the food outstanding but this is one of the few places you can find a waitress with that quality of personal service that is too rare these days.”

Zzas Catering

Food:[3] • Service:[2] • Atmosphere:[1]

• Flavor of food.
• Presentation and service.

“East bay catering is very disappointing. While the food is flavorful, presentation is lackluster at best. Service is sloppy, dirty dishes are allowed to pile up. Passed appetizers are not finger food sized and messy to eat. Perhaps if they had an experienced catering, chef things would be better.”

Le Bistro

Overall Rating: 7
Food:[8] • Service:[8] • Atmosphere:[6]

• Friendly service and great soups and salads.
• Small seating area of 50 or less.

“Great place for working class looking for a great sandwich or salad in a hurry. Great daily specials and homemade soups too. The Clam Chowder on Fridays is one of the best!”

Dona Tomas Restaurante

Overall Rating: 1
Food:[7] • Service:[1] • Atmosphere:[7]

• Some of their dishes are good.
• Horrible service - wait time was awful.

“Sadly, I could not have experienced a more overtly racist experience at this restaurant. With an all white staff, host, hostess and waiters and only Mexican cooks, my mom and other friends went to eat there for dinner. We were two Mexicans and two south Asians. The host put us on the waiting list and told us it would be about 20 minutes. A slew of people arrived after us, who happened to be all white, and each party was seated, as we sat there for 50 minutes, inquiring as to the status of our table. This is the first time I am complaining about something like this and it really disturbed our party, and ruined our 3-year long good impression of the restaurant. They should be careful who they hire.”
