“It is rare that I would give a 5-star review to a restaurant that scores 4 on the food. However, I'm giving VK an exception. Yes, restaurants are about the food, but also the overall experience and the value.
VK has recently emerged in San Mateo and we visited for breakfast. This is not your high-end fancy breakfast place. This is a down-to-earth every day local eatery type of vibe. Of course not commercial as IHOP or Denny's and definitely a step above. It also isn't an Instagram shot type of a place. It truly exists to serve hearty food. And that's what it does.
The atmosphere again is a standard eatery. Sort of a diner, sort of a vanilla look & feel. I had the Steak Omelet and instant I could feel that this wasn't your commercial grade quality. The chef had used great ingredients and cooked it with care. Seasoned well, it was tasty. The side veggies also were done right. The pancakes were not top grade but could absolutely stand its own. The only reason why I retracted a star away was because it just missed border of being "special". Great food. Great taste. Just a bit too vanilla. Oh, and one of my pancakes still had a bit of runny batter in the middle, but that's okay.
Service was great. Coffee was bold and good, considering they brew these in pots.
All of the above, at a price point that is surprisingly equal or just slightly above IHOP.
VK's is absolutely a solid addition to the neighborhood. It isn't a place you come for. It is a place you go because you can rely on it. It is a working class, every day type of spot. And they are not shy about it. Will absolutely return.
Parking: Plenty of parking in the plaza.“

“Exceptional hidden gem sushi spot. So glad we found this place. Very small, only about 6 small tables inside. All the sushi was exceptional, wide variety of foods including a sushi taco which was not a gimmick or stunt food, so so good. Prices were fair, they had a range from simple to fancy based on what you wanted. Miso soup was also delicious. The water cups were made of heavy stone, the miso bowls were handmade wood. I almost don’t want to recommend this place since it’s so small I’m worried it’ll get too busy! But they deserve it. Best sushi in the Bay Area.“

“We ordered one of their specials, Regular Chirashi Bowl, 2 types of sashimi and one Spider Ramen. The food was great. The Chirashi Bowl was spectacular. The Spider Ramen was quite interesting. Nice presentation with fried soft-shelled crab and shrimp tempura. The sashimi was also very fresh.
The restaurant was quite fancy yet cozy. The price was on the expensive side, but the food was delicious.
Wheelchair accessibility: No steps to the restaurant. Wheelchair tables.“

“Hands down the BEST BREAKFAST spot in the bay I am not kidding. The hash brown omelette was unbelievable, They have amazing salsas and tomato basil pesto omelette that is to die for. Not to mention their legendary coffee cake is the best coffee cake I’ve ever had! And you absolutely have to top it off with Abuelitas mocha. Just make sur two mix it ◡̈ Thank you to our server, Jose for amazing service.“

“These guys are great! My car got hit right outside on the street and the driver took off. The guys inside sprung into action and quickly got pics of the license plate and saved them for me.On the food side, I suggest the turkey with sesame seed. The sourdough is too tough for me personally but still amazing. Secret garlic sauce is delicious.“

“Great tacos! The buche, carnitas, and cabeza were all really good (and large/meaty). Each one had a different delightful texture but cabeza was my favorite.... so tender! Fresh salsa bar and free chips are a huge plus. Also the free deep fried jalapenos was a nice touch. Next time I've gotta tried that awesome looking giant fried fish plate.“

“At first glance, I was disappointed by the place as it was take out only. I had the Falafelle combo plus vegan Baklava. There was so much variety and lots of food. Loved the falafel, dolmas, pita. The sides were excellent with tabbouleh, sauerkrauts, salads. Very scrumptious. I thought the baklava was ok but husband really loved it. In any case, was really happy to have one as I haven’t found a vegan baklava in years!“

“I love the pad Thai, curries, coconut soup, and pad kee mao, but I miss the flavor of the old pad Thai. This place takes feedback VERY seriously so I understand changing it if some people didn’t like it, I don’t mind the new pad Thai in a lot of ways it’s better! like the flat noodles and the yummy hints of citrus! Thai place is good, quick, and the customer service is superb! I would highly recommend it if you’re passing by!“

“Support small businesses!
Where you can find quality handcrafted food. I loved everything I’d ordered. From dim sum, milk tea, white sauce, marinated pork ribs and chicken feet, baked egg custard, to specialty traditional Hong Konger soup of the day!
I cannot express enough how grateful I am to have experience this taste again, I left HK back in 2006. This place tasted like home, my childhood, I wonder if they are from Kwun Tong too!
Thank you Hongry Kong for delivering amazing memories to me. I had already placed my second order. Spread the word out, hope you continues with success!“

“Such a great place! I've been going since I was 8 with my dad and the food and atmosphere is always great. A little pricey, but so is everything in the area. I recommend the nachos, the cheese and bean burrito, and the enchiladas. I don't recommend the horchata, as it's way too sweet“

“Lovely place and delicious pizza. Their pizza is very different from the traditional Italian kinds, but their flavors really suits my taste buds.
We came in for dinner and order one kid’s Cheese pizza and one medium BBQ at the Ranch. Both were very well seasoned and really tasty. The price was reasonable.
They have some arcade games, crane games and vending machine toys for us to try while waiting for the pizzas.
Vegetarian options: They have veggie pizza 🍕
Kid-friendliness: Kid’s menu and high chairs“

“First time visit. This place used to be China village restaurant. It serves dimsum and hongkong style dishes. It has live seafood. I heard the chef is from Pallette tea and garden. When we arrived it was not busy but later in the night the restaurant is almost full. Overall, the food is yummy. The beef is a bit salty. Service wise, they might need to do better as if you go to another sizable hongkong seafood restaurant , someone will greet you and serve right a way. We will try the dimsum next time.“

“I am very unhappy with them because 3 months ago I was out of country and lost my son here, my other son and my sister got the memorial in shalizar for my son unfortunately all the invited people were complained from the food which was old khorsht had a little meet and was shredded like wormed up ten times over and the rice was old and mashie . I do not believe they charge my son $65 00 a head for only khorsht ,kabob kobedh and chicken kabob plus sald and soft drinks after the discount from $75 (.because we are old customer and my Husbend helped them at time to find place In San Mateo and all so advertised for the ) I believe they worked so hard to get were they are now they did beautiful job but not any more , every thing is not only Money I had the secand memorial for my sons in anther Iranian restaurant 190 people only $50.00 a head service and food was excellent fresh lots of food not even one complaint. I wish you guys were good as before and we do more business with shalizar Sorry shahla Moktari“
