“Very delicious authentic Asian cuisine. The pork and duck combo were magnificent. The owner/operator is super nice. Hong Kong ice milk tea is a great sipper on a hot day. I'm not sure about seating, but I took it to go, so it wasn't an issue. Very reasonable prices.“

“Freshrolls and Bowls are my most favorite places where I have eaten at Berkeley location twice a week and sometimes at 4th street in SF and they both serve an amazing fresh food and homemade drinks.
I had two of their bowls and four fresh rolls this week and still want to come back for more , the bowls and rolls are filled with all fresh vegetables , look so pretty colorful and topping with the delicious well marinated grilled chicken or pork, the rolls are made so tight and with an crunchy crispy goodness in them to deliver an perfect harmony taste.
Their homemade limeade is impressive with a taste of fresh ginger and basil combined to deliver a refreshing delicious beverage, and also their Mint Lychee Jasmine Tea and Vietnamese Iced Coffee are also give an unforgettable experience.
Anyway , I would recommend this place a thousand times and thank you Freshrolls and Bowls.“

“Small shop with warm food and an open fridge section of sushi. There was also a wall of snacks. Prices are very reasonable. No verbal communication which I think is fine but the woman dropped my packed sushi upside down and then tossed it into a bag. Sushi rice was a bit too hard for my liking.“

“Liholiho is a fantastic restaurant! The space is modern and beautifully designed, with an open kitchen where you can watch everything being prepared, which adds a lot of energy and transparency to the dining experience.

The service was very friendly, attentive, and quick. The cocktails were excellent, and even the non-alcoholic one I ordered was made with care and tasted great.

The food was outstanding. The bun with beef tongue was extraordinary, the tuna tartare and ceviche were perfectly balanced and fresh, and the shrimps with crispy rice were especially memorable. All dishes showed creativity, originality, and were prepared with high quality ingredients.

For three people, including first and main courses, drinks, and one dessert, the bill came to $260, which I found fair for this level of quality. The only minus point is that the restaurant does not offer coffee, which would have been a nice way to finish the meal.

Overall, I really enjoyed everything at Liholiho. Highly recommended, and I hope I will get to return again!“

“One of the greatest dining experiences I’ve ever had. Each dish was so incredible because of its seasonal selection of ingredients and exquisite presentation.
The staff were very attentive, and the atmosphere was so colorful that we wish we could stay all night 🙌“

“Service was fast and efficient. Food was good.“

“FANTASTIC service, DELICIOUS meal, CHARMING ambiance! Second visit here and we can't wait to come back. A few tables were occupied when we arrived before 6pm on a Tuesday, but the place filled up fast. We ordered the kale chaat, biryani, pumpkin curry and cashew chicken, and fried chicken. Everything was freshly prepared and flavorful. We would order everything again but want to try other dishes as well. Such a wonderful gem in the city!“

“Deliciously wonderful unique food.“

“Amazing quality and rich tasty food proportions are Awsome high class spot love it !!!!!! Never been to such an excellent Burmese restaurant!! Great cocktails service & food & price is outstanding I give it 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Really enjoyed our visit!
Maybe family run? They seem to speak Cantonese and Mandarin.

The herbal soups were good! We tried #8 and #11 chicken with ginseng. Both tasted healthy but I think I preferred #8 a little more. The soups are in the little cylindrical ceramic containers and make a good appetizer/side dish. Fun to get as a part of one of their special combos.

The special dim sum of garlic clams was tasty and pretty fresh. Excellent value for $6.50!

Enjoyed the sticky rice too - well balanced flavors and not overly salty.

The beef tendon with noodles was tender and had a good texture. A smidge salty for my taste but flavorful and a good size.

Fast & friendly service - there was a bit of confusion about how many soups we ordered but got it sorted out.

The bathroom seems to be upstairs so might be a challenge if there are mobility limitations.

Look forward to trying other dishes next time!“

“Genuinely my favorite spot in the bay, everything I’ve ever tried on the menu is delicious. Highly recommend the fried chicken bowl with garlic noodles. If you only want chicken and noodles, no veggies, get the Tanya special. More expensive, but enough food for 2 meals for the average person. But try everything, it’s all amazing!“

“Great food and service. My earring came off during dinner and I didn’t discover that it was missing until I got home. I called the next day and they went out of their way to find my favorite Christmas earring.“

“Dropped in for late lunch. Quick service, great food.“

“The Burma Love team has knocked another one out of the park with Kayah and we were already fans of their other restaurants! Every dish we have ever tried is a winner and it is no different at Kayah.

The food was delicious, flavorful, and unique. The ceviche was delicate, light, and a lovely balance of tangy and savory flavors. The calamari was not breaded and fried but grilled with a touch of chili crunch to give it that crispy texture--yum! The split pea fritters were an unexpected favorite melding sweetness and heat. The fried prawns were lightly breaded, spicy, and flavorful and the puffed rice under the shrimp was a welcome crispy treat. The platha was as good as ever. Off the charcoal grill, we enjoyed the very delicious baby trumpet mushrooms and ribeye wagyu skewers--our server recommended them and they are now a must! The fiery mango spicy tequila cocktail was on point.

The staff were attentive, prompt, and courteous and the overall service was excellent. The ambience and design of the restaurant are inviting and aesthetic, effortlessly and harmoniously blending zen and cool vibes.

We dined on the outdoor patio and it's fun being right on the West Plaza of Chase Center. I highly recommend Kayah and look forward to our next dining experience there!“

“Both the spicy numbing beef tendon and the spicy rib and noodle soup were delicious.“

“Good mix of old school and new school. And really good hot pot broth!!!“

“What a great experience! I especially love the chicken Goyza, pork dim sum and the Xiao Long Bao. I can’t wait to go back! Chef Suz ATX“

“A Chinese friend introduced to this place many, many years ago, rediscovered it recently. Been there a number of times since, food good, prices low. Contrary to some reviews, I do not find staff to be rude, in fact they are friendly and approachable, esp when you are return customer. Husband and wife run the place, they are there all the time, work hard, long hours to make a living. I would recommend to anyone looking for a family restaurant with authentic Chinese cuisine!“

“We’ve been coming to Noodle 21 for over 5 years now, and it continues to be one of our favorite spots! My husband introduced me to this place, and over time I found my perfect pho order — #21 with thin egg noodles, no bean sprouts, and soup on the side.

Back in August 2024, the original owner told us he was leaving and passing the business on to his partner. He was always so kind, always made time to chat with us, and greeted us warmly every visit. I was pregnant at the time, so sadly, he never got to meet our baby — but we’re happy to say we’ve kept coming back and still love it just as much as day one.

The staff now is just as welcoming. They remember us, they remember our baby, and it truly feels like a place that values its regulars. The food is consistently delicious, and the atmosphere is comforting and familiar. We’re so glad this spot continues to thrive, and we look forward to many more meals here as a family.“

“Delicious pho ga. Soup is on point. Full of flavor.“

“My friend recommended this place and I went to try it with my husband on Friday night.
We ordered chili beef, tea leaf salad, orange chicken and all good and the tea leaf salad was really good.
I will definitely go back and try other dishes there.“

“We love Dumpling Time! We’ve been a handful of times, and love everything on the menu with a favorite being the shrimp toast - truly an awesome and unique balance of flavors

The service team at Dumpling time are so kind, Liz is quick to help with any special requests and Jose makes some awesome drinks, full of personality and flavor, making every meal a memorable night. Thank you Cindy and team for your hospitality and welcome to us!“

“Wow, really like the food. Visited this area for my wife's company event and found they have less spicier vegetarian option. After my kids loving the noodles, we ordered more . I really liked my spicy chicken noodle too. The quantity is good for the price we pay for. Definitely visit it again !!“

“We went last night and had a great time. The service, drinks and food were amazing! Loved our bartender, David! He offered suggestions and was very attentive.“

“Fantastic! Get the stone cooked wqgyu beef appetizer!“

“Very good. I'm not really a fan of Chinese food but my son asked it was his birthday and the place we usually order from was closed. I have to admit it was really good. I ordered chicken chow mein, fried rice, beef broccoli, sweet sour pork, sesame chicken, and gyoza. Everything was delicious hot fresh flavorful and quick. Keep n mind this was the 4th of July, they were open and the guy who took my order was really nice and attentive. This will be my new spot“
