Slanted Door -- D and I had lunch there yesterday. The Shaking Beef wasn't as stunning as the last time, but was very good. Perhaps it had less impact because my palette knew what to expect, or perhaps the preparation was toned down slightly. Still highly recommended.
The greenlake beans with honshimeji mushrooms were also great. Green beans with shallots and mushrooms are a perennial of mine, and it's always nice to see an alternate variation. There was a bit of spicy heat in the oil used to cook the beans.
The green papaya salad is very mild compared to what I'm used to at Krung Thai in the South Bay.
