Yes, good asian restaurants actually do exist down here

You will have absolutely no problem finding a hearty steakhouse or a good Mexican dive in this area. But if you're in the mood for decent asian food it can get a little tricky...not needle-in-a-haystack-tricky but they are just not as abundant as say..the bay area. There are a number of decent Thai places around here and a pretty nice Vietnamese restaurant nearby us. There is a great Chinese-Korean restaurant about 15 min away. Haven't been to the Indian or Japanese restaurants around here but Viks knows a few good ones. It took a while but Viks and I have finally found a really good authentic Korean Restaurant. We use to drive an hour to places like BCD Tofu house to get decent Korean but now no more! The place is pretty non-descript, the food is fantastic and the service is top notch. The only minus is that it's in area where I personally would be afraid to walk through at night. And for dessert? I'm not so much into Pearl tea but there is a Lollicup very close to us.
