J. Kenji López-Alt's happiest discovery in Silicon Valley – an authentic, yet unheralded, Sichuan joint in San Mateo.
Chef Zhao Bistro in San Mateo is quietly popular for its Sichuan goodness. Yeah, their Yelp ratings aren't great, blame it on the inconsistent service that's common in many authentic Chinese joints. But hey, let's focus on the real deal here – the food!
When the pandemic hit, Chef Zhao got creative and launched their special "Set Dinner." It's a weekly thing with ever-changing dishes that'll feed a family of 3-4. And guess what? It's all prix fixe and spicy! 🌶️ You can't tweak the dishes, but no worries, they've put it all together thoughtfully for a killer meal at an awesome price.
