$$$$Price: Expensive • Vietnamese • San Ramon
New Year’s dinner at SD San Ramon!!! You know when they offered Kumamotos on the half-shell, the night was going to be all right. The yellowtail crudo, Banh Nam rice cake, Gau Choy Gau pork/shrimp dumplings, Imperial Rolls were our amazing appetizers accompanied by Erdinger Hefeweizen from Germany, Gunserloch Reisling Kabinett also from Germany and two cocktails, the Bumblebee and Ginger Limeade tasted perfect for my daughters. For entrees, tried the Pork Belly simmered in a rich soy broth, my favorite Crab Cellophane Noodles and can’t come here without having their signature Shaking Beef. Plus some sautéed Bok Choy and Jasmine Rice. But wait, can’t pass up dessert and all three offerings were fantastic!! Outstanding service by Kristen and the management really made it worth the drive from Alameda.
