Yanggu County on the Tip of Your Tongue | Where Are Sunnyvale's Food Hidden?

Mountain View is paraphrased as "Mountain View" and Sunnyvale is also called "Yangu County". I lived in Sunnyvale when I first moved to the Bay Area. At that time, in order to save money, I lived in a very cheap apartment. When school was next to school every afternoon, there were Mexican bear children playing on the roadside, and there was an ice cream car with cheerful background music passing by the door. And, of course, Mexican music by the pool on weekends, it feels like being in Cancun ... Yes, some areas of Sunnyvale are populated by Mexicans, they look shabby, and they have to take a detour at night, but the atmosphere of Sunnyvale's life It is therefore even more intense. The lively and hustle and bustle, peace and indifference of this world's fireworks are also reflected in the restaurants and restaurants in this area.

~ Sunnyvale Downtown ~

 

It is smaller than Mountain View downtown, and there are not so many shops and restaurants, but the farmer's market on the weekend is quite good. There are plenty of parking spaces nearby. You can also go to Macy's and Target and take a few steps to buy at Philz Coffee A cup of mint mojito. Due to space limitations, here are just a few of the ones that the author is most familiar with. I hope everyone will also actively share their favorite shops ~ (The implication is that if you think it ’s normal, it ’s OK ╮ (╯ ▽ ╰) ╭)

 

Hoolala Chicken

 

Korean Fried Chicken Smecta ~ In addition to wings and drumsticks, chicken breasts, chicken nuggets and other parts, it was fried along with the octopus and squid, but it was fried a bit too many times, eh ... or try this Home's Cheese BBQ? Rather than grilling cheese on skewers and grilling it over the fire, grilling a tin foil pot full of cheese and crispy chicken seems more tempting than fried chicken!

Chef Yu | Yueyang Tower

 

Both the exterior and interior furnishings are extremely old-fashioned, but because of the large tables and affordable prices, this is the place to choose for several friends gatherings. It's Hunan cuisine, but it's actually American Chinese food. Foreigners will order Gongbao chicken and walnut shrimp, but for us, it's a home-style dish that combines all kinds of flavors. Hot and sour kimchi and jelly are usually used as appetizers; Sichuan-style pickled fish, Jiangsu and Zhejiang's oil hoof, sweet and sour pork ribs, are also made like a delicacy. Generally speaking, there are no bright spots. If the requirements are not high, you can barely come to a light meal.

Ramen Seas

 

The taste is actually okay, but there are no amazing characteristics, so generally speaking ramen will not mention this, but it is very satisfying as lunch. The environment is not bad, I like the decoration in the shop ~

DishDash

 

Yelp reviews four-and-a-half-star Mediterranean restaurants and queues all year round. In the Middle Eastern style environment, it is natural to order the signature dish "Kabab", gorgeous chicken, beef, lamb skewers, outer coke tender, fat and suitable, definitely a favorite of meat stars! Other dishes such as Sultan Ibrahom with Seabass are also very special: fresh grilled grouper, topped with a thick sauce, and topped with spinach to get rid of it, it is perfect!

Sizzling Pot King

 

When I first opened, I was very excited, because Nanwan finally has a shop that focuses on spicy incense pots ~ The ingredients in the pot are full, and they don't spare the incense pot sauces, and the spicy stars eat more than addiction! But objectively speaking, this shop is also mixed. The MSG / MSG in a pot of fresh incense is too heavy, which is the favorite point of the most discerning eaters.

Ming Tasty | Phoenix Famous Congee

 

This place must be mentioned if Sunnyvale is even drinking porridge throughout the Bay Area. The menu almost covers the main dishes of Hong Kong-style tea restaurants, but there are also some classic home-style Cantonese dishes. The signature raw congee is quite powerful and full. A large pot of porridge is enough for four people to drink, and it is rich in content. A lot of meat is buried in the porridge. Other dishes are also authentic and affordable, so it's no wonder that meals are often lined up.

Saigon Seafood Harbor

 

Although it is called "Saigon", it has nothing to do with Vietnam. It is a Cantonese restaurant with a very decent home environment. Morning tea is not bad, you can eat authentic wrapped steamed dumplings in Guangdong; the average meal is hot, but if you want to eat authentic Cantonese seafood, you can come here. The overall price is high, which is suitable for banqueting VIPs or elders, but for friends gathering or lunch lunch or something, go out and turn right to Phoenix Congee.

New Wing Yuan Market

 

Right next door to Saigon, so by the way. The supermarket looks very old, but it seems that the price of vegetables is cheaper than Dahua. You can buy coconut and durian Southeast Asian fruits, as well as other Southeast Asian food seasonings and the like. Where you sell fish, you can handle live fish for free and deep-fry it in a large saucepan. It is convenient to eat directly or go home for braising.

Hotpot First | Three Ear Hot Pot

 

Desktop small hot pot restaurant (but the menu says Chongqing small hot pot ... amount ...), but it is not the same as the boiling point and Wei Ding in our impression. It is a large pot of soup + ingredients in a Korean stone pot. It ’s still boiling when you come up ~ There are tomato pot, Chongqing spicy pot, Southeast Asian Laksa pot and other flavors, as well as Taiwanese snacks spicy fried tofu and salted crispy chicken (it's obviously a hot pot on the table, otherwise why there is salty crispy chicken!)

Teanado | Tea Whirlwind

 

Table top milk tea, light meals and snacks. One time when I bought sausage rice, the clerk specially introduced that the sausages were made at home, and they really tasted great. However, the most recommended one is this omelet. It seems that I haven't seen it in other Taiwanese milk tea shops. You can choose bacon, pork floss, and anchovies, and add a strong egg flavor. The taste is very special.

Myzen Ramen | Beauty Ramen

 

Since its opening last year, it has received a lot of praise. The pork bone soup is very creamy and perfect as a working meal. And no need to line up ... is it good or bad to not have to line up? It's quite confusing to go to Santoka or Orenchi at noon. Sunnyvale's relatives should go to this house.

Barn Thai

 

The decoration has a strong Southeast Asian style, like a shade under the hot sun. Although the choice on the menu is regular Thai food that can be eaten in the United States, it tastes very good and the price is very high. Personally, I prefer red, yellow and green curry. It's best not to challenge the hottest level easily when choosing spicy.

Jin Jin Gourmet | Relish

 

Shanghai + Taiwanese cuisine, which opened only earlier this year, seems to be because the owner and husband are from Shanghai and one from Taiwan. However, the overall feeling is still Shanghai, probably because the iconic free shipping dishes such as the pickled fresh casserole and Shanghai cuisine rice are not bad. There are also a lot of choices on the menu, come to eat more than enough, and miss Shanghai cuisine without going to Cupertino.

Gombei Bento

 

It's hard to believe that such a decadent and old Mexican community actually hides a Japanese food, and the environment in the store is so fresh and bright. Come for a curry rice at noon, there are pork dishes or fried shrimp tempura and other meat dishes, rice soaked in curry sauce, lettuce salad and fruit, seemingly simple but rich and comprehensive. There is also freshly ground soy milk in the store, which has a sweet and pure taste, so you want to drop in and buy another bottle to drink at home. This store has branches in San Jose, Menlo Park and other places. The official website is http://gombei.com/

Pho Lovers

 

Affordable and super fast to serve. I particularly recommend Spicey Beef Noodle Soup. Although it is noodles, the thickness is a bit like round noodles. The soup has fatty beef, beef bones and delicious fish cakes. Other dishes other than rice noodles and noodles are also great, such as tong Grilled Pork Roll with meat and vegetables, Grilled Beef with Garlic Noodles fried with chunks of beef and onions and garlic ... it is a very recommended Vietnamese flour shop [Private team visits here

Shanghai Flavor Shop | Shanghai Fried Pan

 

I am not from Shanghai, but since I have been in the Bay Area, I have loved this dish and Shanghai snacks. It may be from this Shanghai Fried Pan. Warm and friendly family shop, there are not many choices on the menu, mainly fried and spring onion noodles, plus some side dishes and pastries. The aunts who speak Shanghainese diligently make buns in the back kitchen, and then fry them in a large pot. The fried pork served on the table is hot, but if they are not careful, they will be burned to the tongue by the soup in the bun. Be careful ~

Famous Food Restaurant | Tianhuiju

 

Tianjin big buns! The most popular ones are three-tasting stuffed pork, chives and shrimp skins. Pork stuffing with green beans, egg and spinach stuffing are also good. Those who have no feeling for buns, don't miss other pasta, such as corn noodles with red beans and dates, and scented chives box. Have some Xiaomi porridge, or Tianjin salted tofu brain, this meal is complete.

Noodle Talk |

 

Hunan rice noodles, which have been very popular since the door was opened last year, I just started to try braised beef or spicy beef noodles. Later, I loved the hot and sour noodles with sour beans. The most commonly recommended is the wild pepper cap powder. This kind of dry powder with almost no soup is unique. I have loved to eat rice noodles since I was a child. I feel that I can eat this level of rice noodles in the United States. It is very gratifying, but I also often hear people say that this restaurant, anyways, everyone still tried it before to know.

Pho Nam & Pho Nam Restaurant

 

I have eaten both, but when I wrote this article, I found that the names are actually the same. It is not clear whether the two have any relationship. Maybe the name is similar to our Little Sichuan / Szechuan. Vietnamese noodles are always a big savior when they have difficulty choosing. Both of Sunnyvale are ok (not counting the pho that is especially recommended by Pho Lovers). This shop on El Camino is still a very triangular house, very good. identify.

Dim Sum King | Dim Sum King

 

The name is domineering, but don't confuse it with Daly City's Dim Sum. This is a small shop that sells dim sum, so there are not many tables in the shop, and all the snacks are placed directly on the counter. For those who are not very particular about the environment and are anxious to eat dim sum, this shop can not be more suitable, the price is cheap and affordable, and the taste is really good! Even the leek stuffing fried buns that I have always been able to avoid are also delicious ~ There are bakeries such as Hong Kong-style bread and Portuguese egg tarts, which can be bought home for early.

Bon Chon

 

Probably the most famous Korean fried chicken restaurant chain, which created a new trend of Korean Fried Chicken (KFC). Fried chicken has only two options: spicy and non-spicy. The skin is basically free of noodles, that is, the crispy chicken skin. It's a little bit dry (but I also like this kind of dry kicking), the sweetness is relatively heavy, with kimchi coleslaw, full of Smida flavor ~

Tanto Japanese Restaurant

 

It feels a bit American-style, but don't think that adding the word "American" is a big tragedy. This place's sea urchin and beef tongue are truly amazing. There are many innovative dishes, such as risotto with oyster, a whole squid filled with glutinous rice, a rice dumpling with a big spray and fish eggs ... Finally, don't forget Add sesame flavored ice cream with mochi for dessert! There is also a tatami cubicle in the shop, which really belongs to the two-person world of food ~

Vons Chicken

 

It's Korean fried chicken Smecta ~ It is divided into crunchy fried chicken, which is not fried, and fried directly, and crispy fried chicken, which has thick and crispy noodles. Most people recommend the latter, which is crispy and tender. Taste is stronger. If fried chicken is not healthy, try this roast duck, which has original flavor, Vons special sauce, garlic, shallot and soy sauce.
