Ok, I will pass on snails for awhileā¦
this one not exactly chinese, itās vietnamese but menu is in chinese.
the chicken noodle is pretty good
noodles are fresh, chicken has chicken taste and chicken meat was hand tore out, even in the soup. the soup i believe they use the chicken shell to boil.
Cool! I will give it a try. Doesnāt look like they have garlic noodles? Thereās another Vietnamese shop in outer sunset with great garlic noodles but itās super duper expensive. Have been looking for cheaper alternatives.
Speaking of Outer Sunset, not Vietnamese and I believe you guys mentioned this place before, but if you havenāt tried this place it is pretty good. Michelin recommendedā¦
Also Quan Ngon has 3.5 Yelp stars. The perfect number of stars. Looks legit.
Youāre not talking Thanh Long are you? The sister restaurant to Crustacean? If so, yes uber expensive. A crab now is what $50 there?
Not being a racist or anything, but I found it kind of funny that I donāt see many African Americans in the Sunset or even the Fab 7x7 these days but when I have gone to Thanh Long in the past, there would be a lot of them there, in all places in the sleepy Outer Sunset. They seek out tasty roasted Vietnamese crab like the rest of usā¦
Yes Thanh Long indeed. Boy thatās expensive. 
Their garlic noodles are the real deal though. Have not found any place half as good.
Did you order a crab? No doubt tasty when all buttered up and roasted with salt and pepper but too expensive since each person can eat a partitioned crabā¦
Have you tried PPQ on Clement? Their garlic noodles is not bad. They have a combo dinner dinner that is priced decently and has crab, noodles and other dishes. Parking lot a block awayā¦
No, never heard of PPQ. Do they have the perfect 3.5 stars on Yelp?
Actually, better, 4 starsā¦
Old Mandarin Islamic has your āperfectā 3.5 stars if you caredā¦
4 stars is worse not better. Mandarin Islamic I heard is legit. No wonder it has the perfect 3.5.
Again, do you honestly believe that??? Ok, send your kid(s) to a lower ranking school then? Unbelievableā¦
On the subject of schools, just to give a shout out to my old coworker M whom I guess had to boast about it but his kid got into Exeter back east in New Hampshire. Wow, the best private boarding school in the US!!! Great job, M!!!
3.5 Yelp stars for Asian restaurants much better than 4 or 5 stars, FOR ME. Yes, absolutely. Tried and true. Told you many times my taste doesnāt line up well with Americans born and raised here.
Again, for an otherwise bright person, this is the stupidest logic I have ever heard TO MEā¦
Did you show your wife to your friends and family and have them rate her? Does your taste in women line up perfectly with the average of your friends and family?
Itās actually the same with schools. I wonāt send my kids blindly to a school just because itās rated high. Those are other peopleās opinions which may or may not share my own priorities.
Uh, donāt need to, without saying a word, they usually immediately tell me how pretty my wife is or how lucky I am.
Here are not arguably but pretty much some of the top restaurants in the food capital that is the Fab 7x7. They all rotate as to who is tops but generally speaking anyone of these are considered excellent choices:
Quince
Kokkari
Gary Danko
Saison
All are four stars and above. Statistics and data over time donāt lie. Simple as that.
I rest my case, your Honorā¦
I will not go to any restaurant with a line. If I have to wait, I would rather spend the time cooking my own food. Guaranteed it will taste better.
