best chinese food i have tasted in a long time
[{'term': 'chinese food', 'polarity': 'positive'}]
– we got a groupon for pagoda and decided to try it on a thursday night.
[{'term': 'noaspectterm', 'polarity': 'none'}]
there was a guy playing the piano and singing at the bar area which was separate from the dinning area.
[{'term': 'noaspectterm', 'polarity': 'none'}]
You can easily hear him though so it was a pleasant sound and not overbearing.
[{'term': 'noaspectterm', 'polarity': 'none'}]
the ambiance of the restaurant was nice and good for fine dinning.
[{'term': 'ambiance', 'polarity': 'positive'}]
not too fine thought that you feel uncomfortable and have to dress up.
[{'term': 'noaspectterm', 'polarity': 'none'}]
the staff was very nice and courteous and obviously chinese.
[{'term': 'staff', 'polarity': 'positive'}]
we ordered the honey walnut prawns which we always order at every chinese restaurant to determine the quality of food.
[{'term': 'noaspectterm', 'polarity': 'none'}]
First off, the food came fast and all together :) i like that... i hate the pretentiousness of things coming in one after the other.
[{'term': 'noaspectterm', 'polarity': 'none'}]
so about the prawns, they were fresh and had a slight crispiness about the batter... soooo good... the walnuts were cut in smaller pieces and very crunchy and tasty.
[{'term': 'prawns', 'polarity': 'positive'}, {'term': 'batter', 'polarity': 'positive'}, {'term': 'walnuts', 'polarity': 'positive'}]
yummy.
[{'term': 'noaspectterm', 'polarity': 'none'}]
best honey walnyt prawns that we have every tasted.
[{'term': 'honey walnyt prawns', 'polarity': 'positive'}]
next one that we ordered were prawns and scallop with brocolli.
[{'term': 'noaspectterm', 'polarity': 'none'}]
the brocollis were so fresh and tasty.
[{'term': 'brocollis', 'polarity': 'positive'}]
i would normally not finish the brocolli when i order these kinds of food but for the first time, every piece was as eventful as the first one... the scallops and prawns was so fresh and nicely cooked.
[{'term': 'scallops', 'polarity': 'positive'}, {'term': 'prawns', 'polarity': 'positive'}, {'term': 'brocolli', 'polarity': 'positive'}]
not chewy at all.
[{'term': 'noaspectterm', 'polarity': 'none'}]
for desert we had the mango ginger creme brulee... oh la la yummy!!!
[{'term': 'mango ginger creme brulee', 'polarity': 'positive'}]
melt in your mouth.
[{'term': 'noaspectterm', 'polarity': 'none'}]
we are for sure coming back to this restaurant.
[{'term': 'restaurant', 'polarity': 'positive'}]
every month if possible.
[{'term': 'noaspectterm', 'polarity': 'none'}]
it is sad there is not many people who frequent eating at places like these that look pricey because they are at the hotel... but they are definitely one you dont want to miss, esp if your in downtown san jose.
[{'term': 'noaspectterm', 'polarity': 'none'}]
Chintzy portions
[{'term': 'portions', 'polarity': 'negative'}]
– The sushi here is perfectly good, but for $5 a piece, either the slices of fish should be larger, or there should be no pretense that this is a moderately priced restaurant (even for NYC).
[{'term': 'sushi', 'polarity': 'positive'}, {'term': 'restaurant', 'polarity': 'negative'}, {'term': 'sushi', 'polarity': 'negative'}]
We easily spent more than $40 per person (not including alcohol) and were still hungry.
[{'term': 'noaspectterm', 'polarity': 'none'}]
I'm astonished that this restaurant is categorized as $$$ rather than $$$$.
[{'term': 'restaurant', 'polarity': 'negative'}]
Terrible service, food ok, pricey

– This past weekend had great weather for San Francisco standards.
[{'term': 'noaspectterm', 'polarity': 'none'}]
So for the 'after beach excursion', we thought we would end the day on a high note and make the trip across the street from the beach to Park Chalet.
[{'term': 'noaspectterm', 'polarity': 'none'}]
The restaurant was busy, however there were a few tables open.
[{'term': 'noaspectterm', 'polarity': 'none'}]
We put out name down and although there were open tables we were told that it'd be a 30 minute wait.
[{'term': 'noaspectterm', 'polarity': 'none'}]
So here we are, my wife, 3 year old daughter and I trying to pass the time by hanging out in the front of the building (where the murals and artifacts are).
[{'term': 'noaspectterm', 'polarity': 'none'}]
30 minutes went by and sure enough the pager buzzer went off.
[{'term': 'noaspectterm', 'polarity': 'none'}]
We went back to the restaurant and low and behold, we were seated at one of the tables that was available 30 minutes ago!!
[{'term': 'noaspectterm', 'polarity': 'none'}]
Logic behind that?
[{'term': 'noaspectterm', 'polarity': 'none'}]
None that I can think of.
[{'term': 'noaspectterm', 'polarity': 'none'}]
We put in our order and although we ordered 4 appetizers, the food didn't arrive until 45 minutes later...WITH OUR MAIN COURSE.
[{'term': 'noaspectterm', 'polarity': 'none'}]
Um so now what are appetizers for???
[{'term': 'noaspectterm', 'polarity': 'none'}]
Oh I forgot to mention that they don't have bread service.
[{'term': 'noaspectterm', 'polarity': 'none'}]
Its a good thing my daughter had some snacks in her lunch bag.
[{'term': 'noaspectterm', 'polarity': 'none'}]
My wife also ordered a teapot of hot water (she had a sore throat) and I guess that since it was only water, it wasn't a priority for them to actually bring it.
[{'term': 'noaspectterm', 'polarity': 'none'}]
In other words, if they aren't making $$ off of you then you don't rate high on their 'service scale'.
[{'term': 'service', 'polarity': 'negative'}]
Food wise, its ok but a bit pricey for what you get considering the restaurant isn't a fancy place.
[{'term': 'Food', 'polarity': 'neutral'}, {'term': 'restaurant', 'polarity': 'negative'}]
The upside of the restaurant?
[{'term': 'noaspectterm', 'polarity': 'none'}]
If I needed to name some they would include the location to the beach or Golden Gate park.
[{'term': 'location', 'polarity': 'positive'}]
Its great if you spent the day there and didn't want to drive to eat.
[{'term': 'noaspectterm', 'polarity': 'none'}]
Parking is reasonably good, they have their own lot and you can park in the park nearby.
[{'term': 'noaspectterm', 'polarity': 'none'}]
Another plus is the open feel of the restaurant with glass walls on all sides.
[{'term': 'feel', 'polarity': 'positive'}, {'term': 'glass walls', 'polarity': 'positive'}]
I'd hate for tourists to go to Park Chalet and think that this is how all San Francisco restaurants are like.
[{'term': 'noaspectterm', 'polarity': 'none'}]
Always good.
[{'term': 'noaspectterm', 'polarity': 'none'}]
– A sushi-fiend friend recently visited and our group of three just had to come for dinner.
[{'term': 'noaspectterm', 'polarity': 'none'}]
6pm on a Sat before a Broadway play and we were quickly seated and served.
[{'term': 'noaspectterm', 'polarity': 'none'}]
Amazing Spanish Mackeral special appetizer and perfect box sushi (that eel with avodcao -- um um um).
[{'term': 'Spanish Mackeral special appetizer', 'polarity': 'positive'}, {'term': 'box sushi', 'polarity': 'positive'}, {'term': 'eel with avodcao', 'polarity': 'positive'}]
As usual the omikase didn't disappoint in freshness, although it scored low on creativity and selection.
[{'term': 'omikase', 'polarity': 'positive'}]
Their specialty rolls are impressive, though I can't remember what we had.
[{'term': 'specialty rolls', 'polarity': 'positive'}]
Great selection of sakes.
[{'term': 'selection of sakes', 'polarity': 'positive'}]
Green tea creme brulee gets better each time I have it.
[{'term': 'Green tea creme brulee', 'polarity': 'positive'}]
It isn't the cheapest sushi but has been worth it every time.
[{'term': 'sushi', 'polarity': 'neutral'}]
Very poor customer service.
[{'term': 'customer service', 'polarity': 'negative'}]
– Schooner or Later's charming location along the marina in Long Beach and average food does not, unfortunately, compensate for its very poor customer service.
[{'term': 'location along the marina in Long Beach', 'polarity': 'positive'}, {'term': 'food', 'polarity': 'neutral'}, {'term': 'customer service', 'polarity': 'negative'}]
While this diner had reasonably good food, the restaurant staff seemed completely indifferent to our presence, and this attitude was reflected in the lack of service.
[{'term': 'food', 'polarity': 'positive'}, {'term': 'restaurant staff', 'polarity': 'negative'}]
As part of a small party of four, our food was dropped off without comment;
[{'term': 'noaspectterm', 'polarity': 'none'}]
any further needs we may have had could not have been met since no one stopped by the table.
[{'term': 'noaspectterm', 'polarity': 'none'}]
When we finally were able to flag someone down, it was someone entirely different from the person who had dropped off the food, who was also not the same person who had taken our order.
[{'term': 'noaspectterm', 'polarity': 'none'}]
After one member of our party had been bumped repeatedly by a waitress, a polite request that he not be bumped sent the waitress into an abusive rant.
[{'term': 'waitress', 'polarity': 'negative'}]
A brief conversation with the manager at the end of the meal was the greatest disappointment--to say we had been "blown off" would be an understatement.
[{'term': 'manager', 'polarity': 'negative'}]
The manager continually interrupted with "Is there anything else I can do for you?", a strange comment because she had hardly listened, let alone responded to our expression of disappointment at our experience.
[{'term': 'manager', 'polarity': 'negative'}]
She promised to speak to the waitress who had flown off in a rage, but we could hardly take her promise seriously, seeing as she hadn't bothered to get the waitresses name.
[{'term': 'noaspectterm', 'polarity': 'none'}]
In short, Schooner or Later couldn't have cared less about our being at their establishment.
[{'term': 'noaspectterm', 'polarity': 'none'}]
Next time we will go somewhere else, or try other restaurants close by like Mimi's Cafe and Claim Jumper.
[{'term': 'noaspectterm', 'polarity': 'none'}]
1 o'clock in the morning.
[{'term': 'noaspectterm', 'polarity': 'none'}]
you are with a hot date and he/she has an urge for sushi...then this might be the place.
[{'term': 'sushi', 'polarity': 'positive'}]
the fish was fresh, though it was cut very thin.
[{'term': 'fish', 'polarity': 'positive'}]
great service.

good sake selection.
[{'term': 'sake selection', 'polarity': 'positive'}]
Dungeness crabs here!
[{'term': 'Dungeness crabs', 'polarity': 'positive'}]
– Ray's is THE place to go for high quality seafood dinners.
[{'term': 'seafood dinners', 'polarity': 'positive'}]
And they give good quantity for the price.
[{'term': 'noaspectterm', 'polarity': 'none'}]
We were only in Seattle for one night and I'm so glad we picked Rays for dinner!
[{'term': 'Rays', 'polarity': 'positive'}]
I love Dungeness crabs and at Ray's you can get them served in about 6 different ways!
[{'term': 'Dungeness crabs', 'polarity': 'positive'}]
We shared the family platter and I especially enjoyed the black cod in sake kasu.
[{'term': 'black cod in sake kasu', 'polarity': 'positive'}]
I ended the meal with the unusual dessert of a port and chocolate tasting....yummy!
[{'term': 'dessert of a port and chocolate tasting', 'polarity': 'positive'}]
And the service was simply spendid - quite a delight.
[{'term': 'service', 'polarity': 'positive'}]
Great Breakfast
[{'term': 'Breakfast', 'polarity': 'positive'}]
– Great drinks , corn beef hash, coffee, B Fast burritos, Gluten Free menu.

The service is fantastic at this fun place.
[{'term': 'service', 'polarity': 'positive'}, {'term': 'place', 'polarity': 'positive'}]
If there is a line very day of the week for the entire time a place is open, you know it is great.

This is the case at this gem.

Best Neighborhood Standby.
[{'term': 'Standby', 'polarity': 'positive'}]
You Can't Go Wrong Here.
[{'term': 'noaspectterm', 'polarity': 'none'}]
– Every neighborhood has a few great local bars that are the best secrets.
[{'term': 'noaspectterm', 'polarity': 'none'}]
In Grammercy/Union Square/East Village this is my neighbors and my favorite spot.
[{'term': 'spot', 'polarity': 'positive'}]
The music is great, no night better or worse, the bar tenders are generous with the pouring, and the lighthearted atmosphere will lifts you spirits.
[{'term': 'music', 'polarity': 'positive'}, {'term': 'bar tenders', 'polarity': 'positive'}, {'term': 'atmosphere', 'polarity': 'positive'}]
Seriously, you can't go wrong, if it is unpretentious local fun you seek.
[{'term': 'noaspectterm', 'polarity': 'none'}]
Oh, and the cheese fries are awesome!
[{'term': 'cheese fries', 'polarity': 'positive'}]
Good Food, Great Service, Average Prices (For the Strip)
[{'term': 'Food', 'polarity': 'positive'}, {'term': 'Service', 'polarity': 'positive'}]
– I decided to eat at Stack because of their price fixed pre-show dinner.
[{'term': 'price fixed pre-show dinner', 'polarity': 'neutral'}]
When I walked in, I was taken aback by their incredible wood decor.
[{'term': 'wood decor', 'polarity': 'positive'}]
The music playing was very hip, 20-30 something pop music, but the subwoofer to the sound system was located under my seat, which became annoying midway through dinner.
[{'term': 'music', 'polarity': 'positive'}, {'term': 'subwoofer to the sound system', 'polarity': 'negative'}]
We were quickly seated and requested the special dinner, which came with: 1) Shellfish and Shrimp appetizer or Caesar Salad, 2) 9 oz steak (with a single potato chip), and 3) homemade donut holes.
[{'term': 'noaspectterm', 'polarity': 'none'}]
I got the shellfish and shrimp appetizer and it was alright.
