by far the best food I have ever had is this hole-in-the-wall chinese food place in a strip mall on the corner of hamilton and san thomas aquino in san jose, california.
it's called Tsing Tao. their kim-chi(sp?) is incredible...you get your food so fast, but it's not pre cooked or anything. they are very prompt people, family owned i think.
great place, open on christmas
the only thing that i dislike about the place and something that contradicts this thread is i always feel somewhat rushed when i go in there.
the other day i spent like 3 hours in carrows. only ate for like a half hour, picked at for another half. that's a great place to chill.
