maithai reataurant

MaiThai Restaurant is a Thai restaurant located at 11406 San Jose Blvd. in Mandarin. They have a pretty extensive menu and if they serve a delicious satay.

I love Thai food! I especially love satay. MaiThai's exquisite satay is just a mile from my house.

The food is fresh and tasty and this mid-priced establishment. The drinks are reasonably priced.what is family owned and operated, and the service is excellent. If you want a nice taste of Oriental, check it out.

Notes: MaiThai is a pun, or at least, a play on words. The mai tai, while sounding Polynesian, not Thai, is actually an American alcoholic drink developed at two competing bars: Don the Beachcomber and Trader Viv's, both of Oakland, California.

Danny's, a diner?

OK, I am going to lodge a formal objection here. Danny's restaurant advertises itself as a diner. Danny's, while serving fair food at relatively cheap prices is not, repeat not a diner!

Officially, a diner is a prefabricated restaurant, usually in size similar to a single wide or double wide trailer that could be towed behind a truck. The reason is, the diner, which originated in New England, Worcester Massachusetts to be precise, were prefabricated and shipped by rail or towed by truck to their permanent location.

I will submit that many of these diners were later expanded or replaced by additional construction. Diner served diner food! Diner food is usually abundant, good, and most of all, cheap. I will admit that Denny's restaurant serves diner food and is similar to a diner ... but come on guys! A restaurant chain is the antithesis of the diner spirit. At best, Danny is could be considered a "diner style" restaurant.
