Jw’s 5-star review: We were craving seafood last Friday, so we revisited Sea Salt - this time, we sat outside in the rear garden. It was past eight, getting a bit chilly, so the restaurant manager turned on the wall-mount heater. The art gallery next door had an opening reception in which one gallery guest played the guitar and another sang in the back patio. With Sierra Club also in the same bulding complex, this is quintessential Berkeley. And I love it! We had the tuna tartar, steamed mussels with ginger & lemon grass, and rock cod & chips. The food of course is delicious as always. And I look forward to coming back again. -
Jw’s 4-star review: I discovered the beauty of U.C. Berkeley at Cafe Strada. The ambience of the patio makes you want to order yet another espresso and spend the rest of the afternoon here. -
Jw’s 5-star review: Berkely is probably the city with the highest number of yoga studios per square mile. You can choose a yoga studio based on the type of yoga, the instructor, or the program/certification. In terms of yoga environment, Berkeley Yoga Center is by far the most sensational and relaxing. "The Center, which overlooks Strawberry Creek Park, is located in a beautiful, spacious studio with wood floors, plenty of light, and a tranquil atmosphere." (quoted from http://www.strawberrycreekonline.com/) The "Yoga on the Ball" class is especially good for your lower back. On a sunny day in Berkeley, there is no better place to do yoga than at Berkeley Yoga Center!! -
Jw’s 5-star review: Dinner at Chez Panisse Cafe with good company in the sunset room makes an unforgettable evening. -
Jw’s 4-star review: 1 star - The wait at Kirala is horrendous! I don't mind waiting in line for sushi bar, most of the time. If a sushi bar is busy, then their sashimi will be more fresh. But Kirala... (it's painful to even think about the wait)... Kirala doesn't take reservation... the bar is tiny with little standing room... there is no waiting room inside the restaurant... and the accessible ramp (aka the waiting area) is out in the cold night air... try wait there for an hour... and you'd wonder why torture yourself like this. 5 star - Robata (grill-food) Sushi is good too, but it's Robata that I come here for. Kirala's stuffed mushroom is heavenly. You know when you take that first bite. Their miso cod, grilled squid, bacon asparagus are all very delicious. If you are like me who loves the food but hates the wait, try come here at 5pm. -
Jw’s 5-star review: Most cleaners outsource, so you don't know what happen to your clothes (they don't know either :P). You can only pray. But not Le Magic Cleaners. George and his wife are from Hong Kong. They have been running this operation for years and they are very friendly and professional. Usually, your clothes will be ready in a day. And did I mention it's $0.85 a shirt? -
Jw’s 3-star review: Bikram Yoga is an intensive workout. Some people like it, and some people don't. If you are curious about "hot yoga", try the "one month unlimited" membership at Funky Door Yoga. The membership is for first-timers only, and it's worth the fee if you go twice. I tried the membership, had 4 visits in a month, and thoroughly enjoyed the "stinky" experience. Glad that I tried it! -
Jw’s 2-star review: I first read it on Dwell Magazine. It's a creative establishment with living units on top. And it's a respectable effort to revitalize a neighborhood corner. But I have to say I am underwhelmed. It's probably because I came in a rainy late afternoon and waited half hour for the restroom (1 only). And then there were no seats, so my friends and I moved things here and there to make ourselves comfortable. I ordered the pesto mozzarella sandwich and cafe mocha. The food is good. But the lighting and the ambience could be improved. -
Jw’s 1-star review: Can I give no stars? Bay Street Parking Structure definitely deserves this rating. Be aware, they would raise the parking gate when you enter such that you can't get a parking ticket but when you exit they'll accuse you of lost ticket and charge you the maximum. Parking office people are the worst and they can't even spell "customer" in customer service. In any event, boycott the parking structure if at all possible.
