Place:

	Mandarin Gourmet
	420 Ramona
	Palo Alto

Description:

	Mandarin Gourmet is a reasonably nice Mandarin restaurant.  They
	have a plethora of prawn dishes, and somewhat meager vegetarian
	fare.  Their prices are median for Palo Alto, which makes them
	a bit upscale when compared to a comparable restaurant in Berkeley.
	I'd place them about a star above Taiwan (no grease, slightly more
	interesting menu), but they are also more expensive than Taiwan.

	Kabuki was last at Mandarin Gourmet almost exactly one year
	ago.

Directions:

	Mandarin Gourmet is one half block north of University Avenue in
	Palo Alto on Ramona.  

	From Berkeley/Oakland:
	Take 880 South to the Dumbarton Bridge.  Take the Dumbarton to
	101 Southbound.  The next exit is University Ave, which you
	take west into Downtown Palo Alto.  Turn right at Ramona, the 
	restaurant is on the left hand side about halfway down the 
	block.

	From the South Bay:
	Take 101 North to University Ave;  Take University Ave west
	to Ramona;  Turn right and park, the restaurant is on your
	left.
