Dinner from Eliza's Restaurant, San Francisco, CA
We had dinner with a friend who recommended Eliza's. We were not impressed. The food was Americanized and the dishes were not distinct, with a couple of exceptions.
Large Hot and Sour Soup $8
This was one of the standouts of the meal. The enoki mushrooms were a nice touch. It was a bit too gelatinous, as most hot and sour soup's are, but it was not so distracting.
Pork with Asparagus $9
Mediocre at best. Meat and veggies with brown sauce. And a bit too sweet.
Kung Pow Tofu $9
This was flavorless and oddly not spicy, despite the chiles.
Pea Sprouts with Garlic $8
Firstly, I don't know what these were, but they were NOT pea sprouts. Pea sprouts are thin and delicate and taste ever so slightly of fresh peas. These were flavorless stems of something and even tha garlic lacked flavor.
Peking Duck $12
This was actually quite good. The duck was moist and the skin was crispy and the layer of fat that generally exists between the two was thankfully missing. The standard scallions were missing, but there was a nice cabbage salad in its place.
