Family-owned casual Srasa Kitchen delivers fresh pan-Asian cuisine in an increasingly crowded market review by Elena Kadvany

Q R E S TA U R A N T R E V I E W
he New York Times declared earlier this month that “understaffed ‘fast-casual’ restaurants — frozen yogurt, cupcake and tea shops; pokÈ bars; and salad stations where customers order from the counter” are increasingly replacing mom-and-pop restaurants in Silicon Valley. Mountain View’s Srasa Kitchen would seemingly fall into that category. Customers order at a counter from menus displayed on flat-screen TVs and watch employees compile their customizable pan-Asian bowls from an assembly line of ingredients. They’re left to their own devices when it comes to service — get your own plastic silverware, chops ticks, Sriracha sauce or water. Yelpers compare Srasa to another local Asianfusion fas t- casual chain, Asian Box, and to Mexican food chain Chipotle. Yet Srasa Kitchen is family-owned and arguably still a mom-and-pop restaurant, just wearing different clothes. Continued on next page

It’s the kind of stuff Brandon Poon’s mother, a native of Cambodia who opened Express 7 with her Hong Kong-native husband, used to cook for him at home, he said in an interview. The ingredients are all locally sourced, the is menu friendly to vegans and gluten-free diners, and the prices are affordable, Poon said. This combination has clearly paid off. About a year in, there’s a line out the door at lunchtime on weekdays at the Middlefield Road location, and the family opened a second outpost on restaurant-heavy Castro Street this summer. The original location still manages an authentic feel, despite the TV-screen menus,

wood paneling and diners holding chopsticks in one hand and iPhone in the other. It must be due to the food, which has a higher-quality and more authentic taste than other fastcasual chains. A D.I.Y. bowl with half brown rice, half “fresh salad mix� (an undressed cabbage mixture) topped with grilled lemongrass chicken, charred corn, zucchini, sauteed kale, cilantro, pickled daikon and carrots, slices of fresh cucumber, bean sprouts, a lime wedge and homemade kimchi (an extra 50 cents) was extremely satisfying. The restaurant’s name is an apt descriptor. The strips of chicken were tender with a nice char and complemented, but not overwhelmed, by the many toppings. The pickled
daikon and carrot stood out in freshness and flavor; I wouldn’t order any bowl without them. For sauce, I went with soy ginger, served on the side, which was good but got somewhat lost in the crowd of of other ingredients. Build-your-own bowls start at $8.95, with some proteins and toppings costing extra. Customers start by choosing from several bases (cold vermicelli noodles, white jasmine or brown rice and the cabbage salad mix; you can also go half and half on two options), then move to the proteins. There’s the grilled chicken as well as pork and chicken meatballs, eight-hour roasted pork belly, grilled beef short ribs and tofu. Then you go wild with toppings and sauces.

Srasa Kitchen’s Cali bowl is crispy tofu atop salad, sauteed kale and charred corn, with a tamarind sauce and pickled daikon radish and carrots.
One of Srasa’s suggested “inspired bowls,” the “Cali” ($9) comes with the mixed cabbage base, tofu, charred corn, sauteed kale, zucchini, seasonal vegetables (which last week was cauliflower), cilantro, cucumbers, pickled daikon and carrots, all topped with a tamarind sauce. At the new Castro Street location on a recent evening, what’s advertised as “crispy” tofu was nowhere near that. It was limp and bland, like it had
been sitting around for too long. Good thing the fresh ingredients dressed it up. The roasted pork belly in the “Cambo” bowl ($12.25, with vermicelli noodles, seasonal vegetables, papaya salad, cilantro, bean sprouts, cucumbers, crispy onions, Thai chiles, hardboiled egg and a lime, topped with a green curry sauce) is served as flavorful cubes, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Service is minimal, given the setup, but it was friendly and efficient on all visits. Despite the lunchtime rush at the Middlefield Road location, the line moves quickly — a perk of the assembly-line model. Poon said The New York Times got it right: It’s incred-
ibly difficult to operate a restaurant in Silicon Valley, and the Midpeninsula’s restaurant rows — namely Castro Street and University Avenue in Palo Alto — are increasingly populated by chains. He said his family decided to close the burgers-and-baos focused restaurant, Buffalo, and replace it with another Srasa in part because a large burger chain, Eureka!, was set to open down the block.

The ‘well from hell’ ‘DEEPWATER HORIZON’ PLUMBS THE DEPTHS OF DISASTER 000 (Century 16 and 20) The new historical disaster film “Deepwater Horizon” has more facts and figures than a presidential debate. There are 126 crew members on board the titular floating rig, drilling on behalf of $186-billion-company BP, and 390 broken machines, according to chief electronics technician Mike Williams (Mark Wahlberg). The project is “43 days and $53 million over budget,” which explains why — according to Deepwater Horizon installation manager Jimmy Harrell (Kurt Russell) — BP site manager Donald Vidrine (John Malkovich) , doesn’t want to know about the rig’s failings. This all leads up to one Dante-worthy inferno, which will go on to spill 210 million gallons of oil in the Gulf of Mexico over 87 days. In telling the tale of the worst oil disaster in U.S. history, director Peter Berg (“Lone Survivor”) and screenwriters Matthew Michael Carnahan and Matthew Sand (working from the book “Deepwater Horizon’s Final Hours” by David Barstow, David Rohde & Stephanie Saul) hammer home what the news media didn’t much convey in 2010: the human-level horror of being on the rig and the sheer scope of the unnaturalness of the enterprise. The film succeeds in cultivating a harrowing “you are there” feeling, bolstered by outstanding production design, special effects, sound mixing, and editing, and mitigated only by familiarity with the principal actors. In most respects, “Deepwater Horizon” proves one of the most technically proficient films of the year. Though the film begins awkwardly by literally having a child explain the work of the rig, non-engineers may soon long for that blunt exposition, given the complicated jargon and action geography to follow. The script alternates mostly between salt-of-the-earth banter, portents of doom, finger pointing at BP’s “money-hungry sons of bitches,” and shouted hope of survival. Berg’s sympathies lie with the Transocean crew operating the rig, and particularly Williams and Farrell as keep-their-cool, all-American heroes of incredible endurance. As with his “Friday Night Lights,” Berg captures some local color (Cajun and Texan) and takes an effective fly-on-the-wall visual approach.

STORKS 000
Director and screenwriter Nicholas Stoller (“Forgetting Sarah Marshall,” “Neighbors,” “Get Him to the Greek”) lends his raw comedic material to “Storks,” an animated comedy about the mythical role of storks in human society. Once responsible for the home “delivery” of babies, storks have gotten with the corporate times and turned their talents to drone-like delivery for an Amazon.com-esque company ironically called cornerstone.com given its headquarters precariously perched on a mountain peak above the clouds. A farcical series of choices and accidents lead to the reactivation of the storks’ mothballed babymaking machine. Employees Junior (Andy Samberg) and Tulip (Katie Crown) attempt
COURTESY OF LIONSGATE
Mark Wahlberg “Deepwater Horizon,” the disaster film about the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
The pressing question of such films as this are their value as entertainment and art, especially in covering such recent history. No question: The film’s action is blisteringly intense — at times suggesting a truth-based horror film. After all, 11 people died in the incident, which the film searingly recreates, with its terrifying rush of oil, fireballs, deadly projectiles and bodies tossed and battered like rag dolls (the film ceremoniously memorializes the victims). But Berg also seizes a vital opportunity to celebrate American heroism by standing with those good workers caught in the American Dream’s nightmare, and “Deepwater Horizon” cannot help but be an implicit sociological statement. It’s not natural what we’re doing to the environment with deepwater rigs, not in day-to-day operations and certainly not in disasters. The film indicts BP, but so too the viewer for supporting an oil-based lifestyle with such dire consequences for the planet. Rated PG-13 for prolonged intense disaster sequences and related disturbing images, and brief strong language. One hour, 47 minutes. — Peter Canavese
to cover up the mistake from their powerhungery CEO Hunter (Kelsey Grammer) by delivering the baby. Their adventure takes them through the proverbial “snow...rain... heat...[and] gloom of night” of postal legend. “Storks” has the familiar manic action considered requisite of the genre (unless you’re Wes Anderson), but its slick dynamism meets with considerable humor and, specifically, proves its consistent adeptness with comic timing. Samberg’s jittery-nerdy energy comes through, and Stoller applies a level of taste and restraint to the film’s use of source music and amusingly awkward pauses. The plot and messages (of conscious priorities, number one being family) are refined enough that, were this released under the Pixar banner, it’s probable that no one would bat an eye, which is high praise for this Warner Animation Group project. Rated PG for mild action and some thematic elements. One hour, 29 minutes. —P.C.
THE DRESSMAKER 000
“The Dressmaker” begins with a homecoming. Kate Winslet’s titular couturier returns by dead of night, in 1951, to her small country town of Dungatar, Australia. Dolled up like 1940s movie star Veronica Lake, she sets down her weapon of choice, a Singer sewing machine. “I’m back, you bastards,” she intones, for her own satisfaction. And with that, we’re primed for a revenge tale. In adapting Rosalie Ham’s debut novel, screenwriters P.J. Hogan (“Muriel’s Wedding”) and Jocelyn Moorhouse (“Proof”) aren’t after the usual bloody release but rather what Moorhouse has described as a more “feminine” form of revenge. “The Dressmaker” is about as tender as the revenge genre gets, though the fundamental thing applies: vengeance is a compulsion, not a recipe for happiness.

‘QUEEN OF KATWE’ A CHESS MOVIE WITH GIRL POWER 000 (Century 20, Palo Alto Square) Movies about chess as a vehicle for social mobility and self-discovery seem to be becoming a sub-genre into themselves. The 2012 doc “Brooklyn Castle” follows “the chess team at a belowthe-poverty-line inner-city junior high.” Earlier this year came the domestic release of “The Dark Horse,” in which “a brilliant but troubled New Zealand chess champion finds purpose by teaching underprivileged children about the rules of chess and life.” Now comes “Queen of Katwe,” based on the true story of Ugandan chess prodigy Phiona Mutesi. The film covers Mutesi’s 2007 to 2012 trajectory from illiterate slum dweller to a precedentsetting chess champion able to offer her family a better life. As Mutesi, new discovery Madina Nalwanga capably projects a sharpness of mind, a centeredness and a strong will to succeed. Once can-do chess coach Robert Katende (David Oyelowo, “Selma”) teaches Mutesi that she “can do.” The 9-year-old Mutesi applies a strong work ethic to the game, but along with lending her newfound confidence, her wins threaten her perspective and drive a wedge between her and her fiercely determined single Continued from previous page
Winslet plays Myrtle “Tilly” Dunnage, who reinstalls herself in the remote town’s remotest home of her half-crazed, shut-in mother Molly (Judy Davis). Tilly tosses clutter, cleans the house and opens for
mother (Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o). A co-production of Disney and ESPN Films, “Queen of Katwe” unsurprisingly has a calculated quality to it, a certain brand of stylistic polish. Disney has found success with the sports film (“Remember the Titans,” “Miracle,” “The Rookie”), and the new film plays many of the corny notes we’ve come to expect. Still, “Queen of Katwe” is something of an outlier as a mid-range-budgeted drama with an all-black cast and a respected filmmaker behind the camera. Mira Nair (“Monsoon Wedding,” “Salaam Bombay!”) began by making documentaries, then moved into narrative films, often featuring first-time actors for authenticity. “Queen of Katwe” capitalizes on Nair’s experience (including her familiarity with Uganda through her 1991 film “Mississippi Masala”), as well as her optimistic tendencies, to put forward a story of sports as education and salvation, with plenty of Ugandan local color. If the slums look just a bit more colorful and clean than in real life, chalk it up to the film’s ambition to be essentially honest without traumatizing its family audience.
That said, it’s fair to say that “Queen of Katwe” is the first of the Disney sports films to deal frankly (although tastefully) with prostitution, a constantly available source of income to the desperate in Katwe, a district of Kampala. A more benign temptation is the food the volunteer chess coach uses to entice children to join his learning environment (the children, chosen for their great character faces, make for an appealing set of “Bad News Bears,” chess style). “Follow your plans,” he tells them, “And you will all find safe squares.” The sports action comes in a series of tournaments, including one in (culture shock!) wintry Russia, but even anxious violin ostinatos can’t make them very exciting. What’s thrilling is the story’s girl power, with Phiona described as an aggressive player of “astonishing power.” That and the inspirational moral “Sometimes the place you are used to is not the place you belong” are messages that girls and boys alike should hear. Rated PG for thematic elements, an accident scene and some suggestive material. Two hours, 4 minutes. — Peter Canavese
business as a dressmaker. What follows is part slow-burn mother-daughter drama, part slow-burn suspense, and part slowburn romance, with a few twists for good measure as the town begins to come apart at the seams. A thirst for vengeance keeps Tilly trapped within Dungatar’s past-and-
present maelstrom of gossip, lies and hate—and vice versa. Something’s gotta give, and waiting to find out what and how makes “The Dressmaker” compelling viewing. Rated R for brief language and a scene of violence. One hour, 58 minutes. —P.C.
