But the broken rice, chicken clay pot, and fresh spring rolls got the better of me. Ok. So it's in a mall. But how about the fact that it's also the same mall that houses a Bristol Farms on the same floor, some of the best sushi bowls and Korean kalbi neighboring around, and an Herve Leger and Louis Vuitton shop as well?!! They don't call the Bay Area "new money" for kicks.


After surrendering to Out the Door's location, your taste buds can enjoy the ride. Great, friendly service. Though not heavily promoted, walk-ins are promising, even on a busy shopping weekend. Other than the staples I suggested above, some other must-trys are the glass noodles with crab and the daikon appetizers. I actually prefer the seating space of Out the Door over its haughtier older sister, Slanted Door.


Final word? I'm a repeat customer.
