Zorba's
Greek Restaurant

Food: We ordered the Feed Me Plate (which should be called the Feed Yourself Plate as you have to put everything together in a pita). It included: lemon chicken soup, house salad, appetizer plate, rice, hummus, spinach, and gyro meat. Zorba's chicken was my favorite, but the best part of the meal was probably the chocolate baklava for desert. If I could do it again I would have ordered a lamb kebab.




Atmosphere: I dug the music and the paintings on the wall. You can tell though, that Zorba's caters mainly to the Dell lunch crowd by the seating arrangements. 

Service: Late adolescent host, still he was on top of things and did his job well. No complaints here...

Something was missing...

Taco Deli
Specialty Mexican Food

Food: We tried the cowboy taco (rubbed beef tenderloin with grilled corn, caramelized onions and roasted peppers, topped with guacamole and queso fresco... yum), the Puerco Borracho (slow roasted, pork braised in tequila & sherry and seasoned with free basil and pasilla pepper sauté ...greasy), and the Frontera Fundido Chicken (grilled chicken with Monterrey Jack cheese and garnished with sautéed poblanos & onion rajas). Try the Cowboy taco... the rest... meh.

Atmosphere/Service: Another cafe style restaurant. The venue was busy but the wait time was short, which was nice. We enjoyed sitting outside... but wouldn't in a few months. 

MuMu Score:

We will probably return... eventually 

Thai Cuisine 
Thai Restaurant 

Food: We ordered Satay for an appetizer (skewered chicken marinated in curry powder and coconut milk, served with peanut sauce, and sweet and sour sauce), Pad Se Ewe (Stir-fried fresh flat rice noodles with egg in sweet soy sauce), Pad Thai (stir-fried thin rice noodles with egg, bean sprouts, chopped fried tofu), and Kao Pad (typical Thai fried rice with scallions, onions, tomatoes, and egg. Each entree was 8.95 and well worth it. Visually pleasing and very tasty. For dessert we had delicious Thai homemade coconut ice-cream. 

Service: Outstanding. Super friendly staff dressed in traditional Thai garb. 


Atmosphere: Wonderful. The restaurant was well kept and I enjoyed the decor. Definitely will return.

mmm ... sacrelicious

Coco's Cafe
Taiwanese 


Food: Outright fan-flipping-tastic. We ordered the Peppercorn Chicken with rice, Sa Cha Beef Lo Mein, and Green Onion Pie (the half order was a lot of food). The Sa Cha Beef Lo Mein had a strange aroma but tasted amazing. Helen loves those weird drinks with tapioca balls in them. She ordered the Taro milk and it was... okay.
 
Service: This is another quick, made-to-order place and I loved it. Amazing food and fast! The wait-staff were friendly and you knew it was good Taiwanese food by the amount of Taiwanese people in the restaurant. 


Atmosphere: Clean, nice modern decor, even trinkets from Taiwan for sale. If you need a rhinestone Hello-Kitty charm, boom, this place has everything you need.

yeth yeth yeth yeth YETH!

Gino's
Italian Restaurant


Food: We tried the Spaghetti alla Gino (sautéed with mushrooms, meatball & Italian sausage in a marinara sauce) and Chicken Primavera (pasta tossed in Garlic & Olive Oil with mixed vegetables). The spaghetti was great and I enjoyed the sausage and meatballs. The chicken primavera was watered down and unsatisfying. For dessert we had a spumone. Our waitress described it as strawberry, mint, and chocolate ice cream. In reality, the combination of cherry, pistachio, and chocolate ice cream was the perfect end of an imperfect dining experience. 


Service: Terrible. Our waitress was extremely rude, non attentive, and unfriendly. It took about four minutes before anyone noticed us after we walked through the door and the staff looked bored and were playing on their phones as we left.


Atmosphere: Nice italian music at a moderate level and appealing decor. Unfortunately, for the third restaurant in a row we sat next to a family with a screaming child. Seating at Gino's is very cramped and I could overhear everything the idiot at the next table told his friend. 

MuMu Score:

Meh.

Sichuan Garden
Authentic Chinese


Food: Pictures of the meals help you choose what you want. Portions are large and prices are reasonable. I burned the roof of my mouth on the cheese wontons so be wary. Overall, I was pleased with the quality and timing that the dishes arrived. Fresh vegetables and savory sauces. 

Service: Don't expect any. You order and pay, get silverware and drinks, then seat yourself. 
I didn't mind it... but we waited around for several minutes until we figured out what the routine was. Still... the food made it worth it.

Atmosphere: Cheesy Chinese Decor. They have remodeled recently an it looks better, but still pretty lame. Oh well.

MuMu Score:

Yeah, baby!

Pho Hoang
Vietnamese Cuisine

Service: Great if you want a quick in-and-out establishment. The wait-staff, although friendly, were difficult to understand at times. Cash only, but the food was relatively cheap.

Food: Flavorful and pleasingly aromatic. Pho soup has a unique taste from the Asian basil, mint leaves, lime and bean sprouts. The broth is generally made by simmering beef bones, flank steak, charred onion, and ginger which gives it a sensational aftertaste. Like most Vietnamese establishments, there are a variety of spices and sauces available at your table for you to experiment with. 

Atmosphere: As it is a quick in-and-out style diner, the restaurant is on the noisy side, but we didn't dine in for the atmosphere. We wanted great Pho and we got just that. I have heard that Pho Danh is better... 

we'll  be sure to find out!

Not too shabby!
