Danville has a new restaurant offering health-conscious Chinese cuisine with recipes inspired by meals from the the owner’s childhood in China.

It’s off to a great start, too.

“I’ve been in restaurants for 15 years,” says general manager Ryan Best, “and I’ve never had the amount of good feedback that we’ve had in the first six weeks.

In addition to the new Donhao, owner Carol Tan and Best also run the Japanese restaurant across the street, Aozora. At Donhao, the focus is on health-conscious, modern Chinese cuisine made with free-range chicken, for example, and American-style wagyu, alongside some of owner Tan’s favorites.

“We’re trying to present Chinese food in a healthy manner rather than like a guilty pleasure,” Best says.

The fried rice is made without soy sauce, and the restaurant doesn’t use MSG, Best says. Additional menu items include pan-fried pork dumplings, sole topped with a sweet glaze and pine nuts, New Zealand lamb seasoned with cumin and several lunch bento options.Details >> Open for lunch and dinner Tuesday-Sunday at 416 Sycamore Valley Road, Danville; donhaodanville.com.

San Jose Westgate is home to the newest Shake Shack

The New York-born cult favorite Shake Shack has opened its third San Jose restaurant.

The burger emporium, part of Westgate Center but situated in a freestanding building along Saratoga Avenue, started serving customers on Wednesday.

The fast-casual eatery was founded as a hot-dog cart in a New York City park but quickly became known for its all-natural Angus beef burgers. However, there’s still an all-natural Vienna beef “flat-top dog” on the menu — along with cage-free chicken sandwiches, crinkle-cut French fries and hand-spun milkshakes.

Another Shake Shack restaurant is scheduled to open before year’s end on Bascom Avenue in San Jose, near the Campbell border.

Potstickers, cold cukes come to Swan’s in Oakland

The perennially changing Swan’s Market in Old Oakland has a new restaurant slinging hot dumplings and cold cukes: Huang Cheng Potsticker.

The Chinese eatery celebrated its grand opening in late September in the space formerly occupied by Japanese black-curry specialist, Dela Curo Curry, which moved to Berkeley Bowl West this summer. The potsticker-centric eatery is the sister restaurant of Huangcheng Noodle House, also located in Swan’s Market, which serves knife-shaved noodles and Sichuan/Shanxi-style dishes.

Huang Cheng Potsticker is a corner stall with bar seating that offers a view of the cooking action. The small menu’s main attractions are the namesake potstickers and dumplings, available in pork-and-Napa cabbage or shrimp-and-cabbage varieties. There is exactly one side dish, cold cucumbers in chile oil. And — perhaps in a nod to the former tenant — they also serve chicken curry with rich gravy and rice. For drinks, there is Tsingtao and Sapporo and a couple of canned sodas.

A recent taste-test found the cucumbers generously garlicky, crunchy and refreshing and slicked with warming chile oil. The potstickers are plentiful, with perhaps 18 in a bowl. They’re almost bite-sized, with crispy, caramelized bottoms that adhere well to the sauces of toasty chili-flake oil and fruity black vinegar. The filling of the pork-and-cabbage potstickers is very smooth, almost like paté. Given dumpling fans are quite particular, that may cause a love-or-shun reaction in different people.

Huang Cheng Potsticker is the latest restaurant to move into Swan’s Market in the past year. The Haitian eatery T’chaka opened last fall, followed by Attraros Thai Eatery in the winter.
