A hole in the wall with excellent Fijian food ( $10 a head ). Mostly a takeout and catering joint but great for a lunch stop. The kitchen : seating ratio is about 3 : 1, so don't expect mood music. Prices are reasonable ( $10 a head for roti, rice, vegetables, and meat dish). Run by a friendly woman who is the mom from Fiji you never had growing up.

Only after I threated to leave in two minutes unless we were served. I have a three year old and a five year old and they were falling asleep...hungry and patiently waiting. It was close to 10pm when served. I demanded all the drinks be removed from the bill (included two glasses of wine) and I think I was generous. My two older teenagers wanted ribs bad and hence with waited so long. The couple next to us waited for over an hour before leaving. Another table I overheard was complaining after waiting for 30 mins. We saw many plates of food go to the banquet in the back room while everyone in the main restaurant were waiting for over an hour after placing their order. Avoid this restaruant if you value your time or are hungry.

My favorite combo is currently sharp cheddar and Major Grey's Mango Chutney. Sometimes you have to mash up the lumps of mango a bit, to get a more manageable consistency. And you can't use too much chutney, or things get slippery and out of control. Another thing I've heard of, but have not tried, is putting a little mayo on the outside of the bread before grilling. Apparently this yields a superb crispy texture. Not that butter does such a bad job. Maybe a side by side taste test is called for?

Name:
Hi Guys--Thanks for your excellent review of the Matterhorn Restaurant. I read it right before I met a group of people there for dinner last night. Everyone at my table thought I was really smart because I knew all about the history of fondue, the types of cheeses classically used---and that Kirsch was the best thing to drink after the meal. One thing worth mentioning is that the artfully assembled pile of raw meat they serve you to cook in your broth / oil looks exactly like the real Matterhorn--but in miniature. We noticed this when we held it up to the painting of the Matterhorn on the wall. I can't say it is worth the trip just to see that, but it was pretty cool. Name: Well, I read the reviews on Sam Wo.... and I think SF ain't the place to go. Hey for $5 a piece you can eat at a clean delicious up-scale, I'm talking food like in a fine dining Chinese Restuarant, at a place called China Bistro. You can eat inside or outdoors and people watch or zone out zeroing in on the great fountain.... really good food... mmmmmm orange chicken to die for, great BBQ pork, fine sweet and sour pork, everything great... sorry NO LIQUOR! But I met Rick Turner a few times and had to say hi.... going through my bookmarks.... but I have to add... in 1967... when I was just 17.... I had to learn to use chopsticks in Little Tokyo in Los Angeles with a group of friends... including Neal Cassidy.... about a week or two before he died in Mexico.... Neal was the one "on the road" that Jack wrote about.... I took care of him before he left for Mexico.... I took care of a couple of kids and the house.... kept Bukowski supplied with beer and I remem ber making a Mexican dinner one night while Neal was there. Just a little trivia. I like the nightmare ambience at Sam Wo's though... but only if it turned out the food was good.... I mean Jack Nicholson did say "Don't go to Chinatown." Yeah I know, that was the L.A. but hey, you Frisco hippies don't have anything on L.A. Well, you do have Michael Savage. Never mind! Name: B.

Name: rousseau Email: ROUSSEAU@aol.com Date: Oct 27, 2002 11:03 PST Location: Sarasota, FL MEMPHIS TN Comments: EQUESTRIA Restaurant", a dead horse?Germantown (Memphis, TN)" After writing the below review on their own website, Equestria's "Chef Valerie Morris", tracked the writer down and contacted the writer and proclaimed essentially that the writer should curtail free speech and just become more "Memphis-like" (you know, leave your experience at the city limits)..She also called the review "vindictive" , "nasty", and hurtful. YOU, THE BUYING PUBLIC BEWARE...What's next? an attack with a meat cleaver? ****the review as it appeared on equestriacuisine.com Upon moving from Sarasota, everyone suggested that I "must" try "Equestria"...well.. I have. While I am reticent to judge the quality of any restaurant on three visits, I find the "experience" a bit lacking and frankly, a bit over-rated based on my experience. One good thing is the decor...it's very well done. The steak was advertised as "prime grade", but I found it lacking in tenderness, and it was "chewy". The "crab cakeS" actually were a singular, crab cake which was a bit dry. The salads lacked the crispness associated with such a nice presentation. The bread was served cold (I can't imagine that this was by design but perhaps so). The service seemed tentative, immature and more indicative of perhaps a "chain type theme restaurant" as opposed to a "fine dining" experience. The male "manager" on duty handled a complaint extremely poorly...in fact he seems far too confrontational for such an alleged fine dining, highly touted Memphis restaurant. The female bartender on duty seemed out of her element and perhaps more suited to a casual, say "Chili's" clientele. In summary, I hope to have a better experience in the future. The quality does not seem to support a rather nice ambiance. I'm still trying to locate a well above average restaurant in "Germantown"(area) that reflects its alleged, affluent, and informed taste. So far, I have only had well above average (in fact two great meals) at an east side resturant named "Jarretts".

Name: cheesmonger Rebecca Email: rebeccajaneking@excite.com Date: Oct 16, 2002 12:29 p.m. PDT Location: Lower Haight Comments: As a resident of Lower Haight I feel I need to voice some support for Rosamunde Sausage Grill after reading the Fud Court review. As the judges noted it is not the type of place to sit down over a meal for a couple of hours. (Although once when I was in there some confused tourist called and tried to make reservations.) However, it is the CHEAPEST place I've found walking distance from my house to grab a quick filling dinner when I don't feel like cooking (most nights). And it is across the street from the laundromat and next to a decent bar. Yeah, I could go to Safeway, buy a pack of sausages, a bag of chips and a 6-pack of root beer and save a little cash, but not very much. Besides Rosamunde's is the same distance from my house and I don't have to do dishes when I'm done eating. For lunch or no-nonsense dinner I think it is hard to beat and deserves a couple more dogs.

What a strange little hole in the wall to have such good deli sandwiches. I decided to be adventurous and get the chopped liver and hot pastrami on rye. What a delight. There's plenty of delis back in the Palm Springs area that serve bigger sandwiches, but it is now apparant to me why they do so - they think if they stuff you to the bursting point that you won't notice the sandwich is so boring. Moishe's pastrami is the best I've had in a long time (since I was last at Cantor's on Fairfax in Los Angeles). Thank you, Judges, for your wonderful reccomendation.

Name: Jeffrey Baker Email: jwbaker@acm.org Date: May 25, 2002 4:43 p.m. PDT Location: Pacific Heights Comments: Corner of Polk and Sutter houses a Vietnamese restaurant Le Jardin, on the second floor above the pawn shop, Goodwill, and some bar. Entrance at the stairs on Polk. The menu has some standard Vietnamese home cooking and some items you don't find in San Francisco's other neighborhood Vietnamese places. Imperial rolls are terrific of course, better than most. Asparagus and crab meat soup is very good, as is the hot-and-sour soup. The standard shaken beef is perfect with lemon pepper suace and grilled onions. The five spice chicken is really barbecued, satisfying, and not greasy. Also try the honey walnut prawns, which are very not-chinese. Prices are medium. My wife and I spend up to about $40 for four courses. The service is fine, except the staff tend to disappear right when you want the check, which is inexcusable in a place with nearly zero diners. I think the Fud Court should definitely head there. Every time I go in there I am alone. They obviously need the business.

It wasn't a bad burger, but certainly no better than the burgers available right here on lower Haight at Burger Joint for HALF the price of Joe's. In fact, the meat is equal, but the buns are better at Burger Joint; thus a better burger. But my main "beef" was the price - Holy Cow, Joe's is a RIP OFF! In fact, while I was there the table of 5 next to me got in an argument with the waitress about the bill (they hadn't noticed that by the time you tack on all the "extras" like cheese, larger patties, fries, soda, you're talking about a $16.00 per person meal). Maybe you got the ratings mixed up with Rosamunde; I'd give them the 15 dogs, and Joe's the measly 8. Great web site, guys! (Other than these 2 glaring missteps.)

The first is Johnson's Barbecue, on San Bruno Ave. (near the Paul Ave. exit off 101). As the window signs say, "You can eat my meat with no teeth" and "You can't beat my meat". I found the "thermal nuclear sauce" a bit excessive, but the mild and regular-hot sauces were very nice. The other one is Cliff's Bar-B-Q, on Bayshore (just off the Bayshore exit off 101, towards the Cow Palace). It's hard for me to say which of these is better, as I haven't done a head to head test on the same day. I'll tell you that both of them beat the pants off Brother- In-Laws and what my Alabama friend calls "that sorry-ass Memphis Minnie's" (though I wouldn't be so harsh on it).

I ate at the magnificent, though almost completely obscured, U-Lee last night, only because you guys reviewed it. If you hadn't led me in the direction of the largest potstickers I have ever seen---although I don't think they are actually as large as kidneys so my disappointment level was slightly on the uptake until I realized that maybe I think kidneys are just bigger than they actually are. Or maybe I just have super-sized kidneys. Anyway, it was delicious and cheap as hell. Umm, can I have a bib now please?

Well, Dim-J, after days of deliberation, the Court rules...NO. You might get something, but it would probably resemble a disapproving look, and maybe some mumbled curse words -- but surely not a prized bib. However, something tells me Ask Andy and I will soon be dining with you at Bad Chinese, as you call it, and at that time I can tell you whether I find it three-roach worthy. We can only hope...and then run for the TUMS. Name: Judge Turner Email: thebench@fudcourt.com Date: Mar 5, 2001 8:10 p.m. PST Location: The Bench Comments: Milkshake?

Of all the restaurants you have visited, only 3 have ever recieved roaches. Come'on now - don't be affraid to speak the truth! It reminds me of that fun/wacky song "Who Let the Dogs Out?"

Name: Judge Turner Email: thebench@fudcourt.com Date: Feb 14, 2001 09:01 PST Location: The Bench Comments: Dang, Midwest Ted, you sure have some strong opinions about wings. And if it weren't for your obvious expert status the court might be insulted by the way you impugn our wing standards and appetites. But we defer to your experience to some degree. We do, however, hold that Original Buffalo Wings is the best wing house we've found in San Francisco. Perhaps that's not saying much. We have also experienced the anemic wings from there occasionally, or "beaks" as Judge Vardigan calls them. Perhaps you received an order with a large number of beaks. Our orders have generally been of a healthy nature. If you ever come across a buffalo wing place around the Bay Area that offers better fare, (especially this alleged "whole wing") please notify the Court immediately. We are always in search of bigger and better f¸d, and we appreciate your passionate feedback. Eat on. Name: Midwest Ted Email: ted@earthlink.net Date: Feb 12, 2001 07:46 PST Location: San Francisco Comments: I'm really surprised at your 14 corn dog recommendation of the Original Buffalo Wings. I ordered the buffalo dozen wings, and coming from the Midwest and having spent time in Boston, I expected 13 wings. I was frankly shocked that a "buffalo dozen" means 13 wing JOINTS, anemic ones at that, which add up to BARELY 6 wings. I can't believe that you suggested that 50 of these pitiful things could satisfy 3 hungry guys! I am 155 pounds and could easily go through 25 of these. Some of my big eater friends could easily inhale the whole 50. At $7.50 for those anemic 13 half/third wings this is pretty damn far from a bargain. I'm glad I ordered the chips as you suggested, because I would have been ravenous instead of merely not full at the end of my meal. Frankly, as wings go, these are nothing to write home about. I think even the wings at Lyon's could stack up with these. These can't even hold a candle to the Coolidge Corner Club House or Wings and Rings in Boston, MA. Either you guys were breaking a 3 day fast when you reviewed these things, or I question your wing standards. On the other hand, I really appreciate the web site, since there is so little attention being paid to good, down-home, rib-sticking, artery-clogging food in the area.
