Sometimes, disasters lead to rebirth. Chew on that thought for a minute. In this specific case, I’m referring to two food-related disasters – the burning down of Great China and the closing of Milanese Caffe, two of the better-quality restaurants in the Berkeley area. Happy Valley is a new Chinese restaurant filling the void left …
During our stay at the Aria in Vegas, we were lucky to try out three restaurants at the hotel – the Aria buffet, Lemongrass, and Blossom. Overall, the restaurants were pretty high-end and very nicely decorated, the food was good, but definitely not worth the price.
Berkeley isn’t exactly a hotspot for great Chinese food. There are several average-to-good ones, including Great China and Lotus House, but the below-average to downright gross restaurants outnumber the better ones.
