The asian food in the bay area sucks... i even been places recommened by other asians it all sucks compared to the food you get down in LA , Thai and vietnamese food in particular fu-ken sucks up here. the thai food offered up here is so americanized.

you need to get recommendations from other asians.

And I suppose LA is better...

I only know some Chinese restaurants... Most of them in San Francisco Chinatown...

There's that D&A Cafe on Broadway near Stockton. It's nearby Gold Mountain, too.

And there's a whole bunch of restaurants along Jackson near Kearney. Kay Cheung, Pearl City, Great eastern something. But I wouldn't recommend going to the bathroom... The old Chinese ladies destroy them... Well, Great Eastern might be an exception.

Eight Immortals on Taraval in the Sunset.

Koi Palace in Colma (bring a lot of money), near Serramonte Shopping Center. And right by it, is Circuit City, Office Depot, etc.

That's all I can remember for now...

But if you're looking for Thai or Vietnamese I can't help you there... There's a couple of small Vietnamese restaurants, but I haven't been to them...

americanized? where to you go too lol anyways theres plenty of viet places in san jose chinese food in sf oakland fremont and thai resturants in san jose palo alto and frisco

i

this place is good. they opened one in Thunder Valley casino in the Sacramento area and its expensive. not sure if the bay area prices are the same as the one in the casino though.

3 egg rolls for 10 bucks and 40 bucks for a bowl of shark fin soup im not complaining though.. i get to eat there for free

Go to Yelp.com for reviews on all sorts of restaurants, including Asian. I haven't been down to LA but I'm sure SF has a boatload of asian food. In general, go to the tenderloin for pho places, chinatown or noriega/taraval/irving st for chinese food, American Sushi House in pacifica for some good sushi. Most of the asian restaurants that I've been to were for the most part pretty authentic. Not sure where you've been going to. Hopefully not "Mr. Chow's Quick Asian Food" or some crap like that.

China Palace in milpitas is good hole in the wall and is open till 2am.

mayflower seafood restaurant is the shiznit, i love the food, i love the ladies.

the chinese restaurants in San Francisco's chinatown aren't bad, just abit crowded and small!
