Reception in the Valley

[oneidaone]

My friend has asked me if I know of anywhere in the Valley area that would be good for a reception. There will be guests of all ages (including children) and it does not have to be fancy or

complicated food. It would be for about 200 or so in the late fall. They were thinking chinese but

were told that most good places were in Monterey Park which would be too far for everyone to

travel. I realize this is somewhat vague and I apologize but she is busy coordinating the other

reception for the same couple over here and is quite overwhelmed! So if anyone has any suggestions that would be great! Thanks so much and a hui hou

Erm... Which valley?

I'm going to take a wild guess, since you already ruled out the San Gabriel Valley, and assume you mean the San Fernando Valley. For a group that big, you may want to try one of the many country clubs that are in the hills south of Ventura Boulevard. I've been to many things at Braemar (in Tarzana). While I've certainly had better food in my life, they are fine. They will also be quite accomodating and I believe fairly reasonable. I've been to Sunday brunches, lunches and dinners there. And, the view is nice.

Just a thought.

Yes, sorry I forgot about the geography there.......Doing this for somebody else sorry. Yes it

is the San Fernando Valley. It's like when people say "we're coming to Hawaii for a week" and

you have to ask well "which island." A hui hou......

There is a Yang Chow restaurant over in the San Fernando Valley. I've never been there nor the one in LA Chinatown.

What type of reception is your friend thinking of? Chinese sit-down banquet? Buffet?

Is your friend perhaps from Hawaii? I ask this since you're from Oahu and maybe a Hawaiian-style reception is a possibility? If so, try the Torrance & Gardena area nearby LAX. Just a thought ...

I used to live in the heart of the SFV many years ago. I know a Chinese family (the wife was a former co-worker) who lives in the SFV now but grew up in Hawaii. Go ahead & PM me if you wish.
