R & B Seafood Restaurant closes in Palo Alto

Sweet & Sour Pork is not authentic chinese food.

If you want high-quality cantonese-style chinese food, I recommend Hong Kong Restaurant, also in Palo Alto (3691 El Camino Real). The place is not fancy, but the food is very good, and reasonably priced.

I realize that every city will have to become denser at one point or another, but I feel that city of Palo Alto does not have good planning to adjust to this change. I moved here 5 years ago attracted by the small town feeling despite it is in the middle of silicon valley. There are many small unique shops around town. You can always find franchise store in every city. Most of the architectural despite aged blends in with one another. Since the last mayor, many new small rise building have been built to replace this small building. Many restaurant and shops were force out to become a new office building. There is nothing wrong with office building, but it should be balance or idea to relocate this small shop. If this continue, Palo Alto residence will have to get service cater from neighbor city since everywhere they go will be just office and it close after 6 PM. I hope it is not it will be, but certainly that way. Big IT company gives tax to city, but city does need the small businesses as well.

Finding the services and quality of life to be declining in Palo Alto. Not going to fight it anymore, just going to lower the bar for what our expectations are for a future here.

Yes, things are changing around here.

And they will continue to do so, just like they have for the last two hundred years.

This appears to be another grossly underparked development - and the ARB has approved it.

According to the plans - it appears there is a grand total of 3 parking spots designated for the all the employees and customers of the financial institution, and all the employees and customers of the office area.

i hope it can still be appealed to the city council and turned down. it is so wrong in so many ways

Yeah! More construction in The California Avenue area!

Second the recommendation for Hong Kong Restaurant. Been a customer since they were in Mountain View. My mom's side of the family is from Hong Kong, and it's the most authentic Cantonese food to be found in the area

Of course this project was approved by the (rubber-stamping) ARB. When will it go before the CC, and what are the chances of such a massive project with no ground-floor retail receiving approval???

Food and service were always good at R&B. What some forget is that there has been a Chinese restaurant there for at least 30 years. California St vicinity has lost at least four Chinese restaurants now over the past 10 years.
