Restaurants in Castro Valley

“We had food catered & delivered from them. All the food was authentic, super tasty, well packaged and presented. Everyone loved it & mentioned multiple times. I recommend them wholeheartedly. We ordered Chicken Curry, Dal Makhani, Paneer Veggie Sabji, Raita, Naan, Rice, Salad & Rose Kheer. Rose Kheer was so yummy. Chicken Curry tasted homemade Punjabi. It was delicious. Paneer Sabji & Daal were also very yummy. Spices were mild. You can't go wrong by ordering from them.”

“This is my 3rd omakase experience (once in Japan) and each has been different but all wonderful. Tancho is a small restaurant hidden in a shopping plaza in Castro Valley where there’s plenty of parking in the evenings. The Maple Bar seats seven and worth the extra money as you get to see Chef Jason prepare each delicacy and you get a couple extra courses that you don’t get sitting at the table (behind the bar). A party of four with a bottle of Dessai 23 ran us a little over $1k. It’s a great place to go for an anniversary or birthday. We’ll be back soon 😊”

“Yummy food! Big portions!”

“Excellent food … excellent service”

“Been coming here for years. It's been a while since I've been here, not as many customers as it used to be, but the quality of the food is still good. Prices of the drinks are a little pricey but I think that's to be expected this day and age”

“Stacey and Simon know their beers.”

“Everybody is just hanging out having a good time! No drama!”

“Real, honest BBQ. I had the 2 meat combo with brisket, ribs, mac & cheese and potato salad. Best BBQ I have had since I was in Austin Texas! The owner was working hard with the rest of his employees and was the one to take my order. He seemed very nice and was helpful. I work within walking distance so I can see myself becoming a regular here. Canyons is an excellent addition to Castro Valley's food scene.”

“One of our go-to places with super friendly staff which always goes the extra mile to make us feel welcomed, seen and appreciated.

The Food - especially their Dinner Special - is great, portion sizes just right, different options and still assembled and delivered to the table within minutes of ordering. And both Nigiri and Sashimi have sizable chunks of Fish and well prepared!

Kid-friendliness: Servers interact wonderfully with the kids, recommending suitable food and engaging with them in conversations. There are often families with Kids here, a testament to their appeal.”

“Simply the best sushi around. Incredibly fresh fish, gorgeously prepared nigiri and if preferred, there are specialty rolls that hit just right. We’ve been coming here for years and are so so thankful we have a high end, quality sushi spot here in CV!”

“Good food and service, ambiance a bit sterile, could be warmer with for instance some background music like the standards (Sinatra, Holliday, Martin, Bennett). When we first arrived the restaurant had only a few guests and the room was too quiet, like a library and felt a bit awkward.”

“Great service. The Staff is always friendly and polite. Best sushi in Town.”

“There is a something I cannot get enough of lately and that is Chinese takeout! China Garden is kind of a staple in my takeout routine as of late. I generally get a fried rice, stir fried green beans, some kind of chow fun and chicken for a bit of variety. This restaurant does great to provide ample portions, and after ordering here a few times I can say that sometimes it can be hit or miss in terms of whether you get great ratios of ingredients to your food, and whether you will need to spend a bit extra time in the kitchen to heat and prepare. My go to here really is their fried rice it is a must. Also, reheats great on my wok. The staff here is pretty friendly too. If you are looking for a new takeout spot, I would definitely put this on my recommendations for you, it has all the classics!”

“This is our secret weapon to getting our daughter out of bed on a school day. Their morning buns, baguettes, quiche, and chocolate croissants are a favorite. Fresh bakery and awesome team working there 👍”

“😋 definitely recommend. Get the vegan Potato, the apple and also the beef for sure!! Their espresso is amazing too 😊”

“If it ain't broke don't fix it. This is a staple in Castro Valley- the best sandwiches in town. Highly suggest grabbing lunch here to go and taking it to the lake. 🩷🩷🩷”

“great food and customer service! we came here based on another review and we were not disappointed!”

“My main memory was it was pretty warm but I also burn like a volcano so you ladies might love it here plus 18 sweaters haha.

Grabbed a tuna Sand that had a nice hint of sweetness to it.

Wifi at the nook I sat at was pretty spotty I believe I ended up on a hotspot from my cellphone

They recently extended their hours and I think I left at 4pm this day”

“I signed up for my daughter and her dad to attend Macaroon class. Both came back with delicious macaroon and shared their enjoyment experience during the class. Next day, they tried baking Macaroon on their own. Even without having all the proper equipment, they were able to make the Macaroon very soft and delicious. Thank you, Natalie, for having my daughter and her dad in class. The cost for the class is fair ($85/person). I know a lot of people are interested in joining your class. The only issue is the distance is too far from their homes. I wish you will offer more variety of classes throughout the year.”

“Good atmosphere and a good beer selection. Great food but can be pricey. Great breakfast Friendly staff. Can get a little noisy in the bar but that's to be expected. Always a good experience.”

“I am a day belated in writing this review and apologize to David, Olivia and Thomas. They are models for superior customer service. They are warm, kind, and extraordinarily helpful. I brought my nephews, four of whom recently lost their dad to Lake Chabot for a day of relaxation and memory-making. And boy, did we! thanks to exemplary service and hospitality from David, Olivia and Thomas. When we were done boating, my nephews were super excited to reconnect with Thomas, David, and Olivia to show their gratitude. They kept reminding me of how nice Olivia, Thomas and David are and hoped they would see them again when we return to Lake Chabot. I am so grateful!”

“My son (34 pizza connoisseur) and I went to this place to see what they have. What we found was a family pizza place with some of the best pizzas in the area. From a slice to King Kong, you can get whatever your budget can handle.
Look them up, go buy a slice, and test them out. You won't regret it. I'll be going here again.”

“Nice atmosphere, pet friendly and delicious food and drinks.”

“Best Mexican food in Castro Valley to add to the wonderful taste of ghost food, their owner Doña Rosa it’s a gem, she’s wonderful, caring, so kind and make you feel right at home! Best of the best!”

“This is an absolutely amazing place to eat. I've been here twice and have been so impressed not only by the food but by the service as well. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. I don't even live in the area, but I am happy to drive the 30 minutes to eat here. I highly recommend stopping by!”

“Great owners! I loved this place growing up. I moved out of state but recently visited while in my home town. miss this place!”

“My Family and I are new to the neighborhood and We often explore.. We ended up at Papa Murphys to bring home some lunch.. We were just there about an hour ago.. The Gentleman that helped us was so nice.. He had no way of knowing that I’m going through a very emotional time right now.. He was the ray to my sunshine ☀️ I left smiling feeling so lite.. I’m now home enjoying Our fresh, delicious , high quality treat with my family 💜 I will be back and I would recommend that all my friends stop by and grab a great lunch or dinner and show some love.. There’s salads and desserts too..”

“The biggest chicken wings I’ve ever had - will be back to taste the spicy hot wings! Btw the inside of the restaurant is super clean and nice which I appreciate.”

“I had a great experience at this Thai restaurant. It has a nice cozy mom n’ pop atmosphere to it. Service was good, I ordered a cup of tom yum soup with a side of jasmine rice and it was very yummy. My friend who I went with is from Castro Valley and they always order the Pad Kee Mao. Super solid option if you’re craving noodles and a bit of spice! This is just my preference but I really liked how they used glass cups for water rather than plastic like how most restaurants use. The only thing that I wish they included on their menu is a papaya salad. I love papaya salad so I was a bit disappointed when I couldn’t find it on the menu. Overall, this was a solid Thai restaurant so I would recommend trying it and supporting their small business!”

“1st time here.!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🙏🏽❤️ Great Customer Service, server and busboys are Very attentive, Food was really good…constantly saw them clean tables and floor.. Definitely a FN Really good spot to eat Breakfast or Brunch.!! Given them a chance. Come try it out. I will be back.!!!!!”

“I love that Kasper’s has chicken dogs. I don’t eat red meat or pork so it’s so nice to have my favorite dog with mustard, cheese, tomatoes, pickles and cheese. My favorite combo!”

“The hot dog with cheese and bacon is so fire the cheese melted and the bacon is crispy crunchy recommend 10/10 it is fire come and try it at tacos Jessy in Tracy ?”

“Nice atmosphere and super nice customer service. Food was very good. Wish it was a bit more spicy to my liking. You know it's good when it's actual Thai people working there”

“Service was exceptional and good was delicious!”

“I can’t express enough how amazing you both are and how delicious your food is…and of course your shaved ice!! 😍 I would recommend to anyone and can’t wait to keep coming back!”

“Great spot. Trivia Night on Wednesday’s are a must.”

“We LOVE Knudsens!!! Our favorite!!”

“This cafe is a hidden gem! The owner's friendliness creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere, perfect for unwinding with a delicious meal. Their breakfast burritos are amazing. If you're searching for a cafe with top-notch food, friendly service, and a relaxing vibe, this is the place to be!”

“Wonderful to have a new Mexican restaurant in town. We dined in. Ample parking. The Quesabirria was flavorful with the Mexican onions. The chicken fajitas were tender with lovely char on the veg. I particularly liked the added mushrooms. The chips could be better, but the salsa enhances them. The restaurant is super clean and the staff is friendly. The takeout burritos are also very good.”

“My husband and I were craving pizza. However, the places here in Castro Valley have been disappointing recently. We decided to give Villa Roma a try and see how we liked it. We loved it! We ordered a custom pizza and garden salad. Both were delicious. The garden salad was fresh, flavorful, and filled with a scrumptious variety of vegetables. We will be going back soon.”

“Tastee Lasagne with Meat Sauce. Garlic Cheese bread was good as well. Hot Fresh Food made to Order. Nice Clean Dining Room. Customer Service with a 😊😁. Kind Knowledgeable Staff. Easy to Park. Easy to Find. Take Out Available. Reasonable Prices.”

“The Best Yogurt in Castro Valley! Love Yogurt Deluxe!”

“You will enjoy this place I sure do.”

“MOD Pizza is one of those places where you cant really go wrong! You customize your pizza exactly how you want it with the toppings you'd like and as much as you want, Ordering from the app or online is quick and easy!”

“Ordered here for the first time from DoorDash, packaging was great, we got chicken grilled burger unfortunately cheese was extra $1.75, the taste was like any other burger I feel the price is on the high side. We also got the cheesecake strawberry and oommggg it was so good I loved it, we got one slice which was $10 I think that’s a bit pricey compared to other cheesecakes.”

“3/4/2024 1 pm:Price is perfect and quality is even more perfect.You will not believe how fresh all of the food is, for the price you are paying. I bought 2 dumplings, 4 buns, 2 spring rolls, and 2 entree plates packed with food for $40. If you They have a HUGE variety of specialty dumplings and dim sum. When we were finished with our lunch, we went back to buy more for later. Again I cannot stress the quality of ALL of it.5/5 food with great service too.I’ll be coming back frequently when I’m in the area.P.S the sauce for the steamed pork and Napa cabbage dumpling was phenomenal.”

“Easy chill vibe.

“my sunnyside burger was very good next time im going to ask for the fried egg to be cooked a little bit more but my meal was filling...thanx u!!!”

“Really good !!! My kids love this place”

“It’s hard to find parking in the shopping center but it’s worth driving around to find a spot. They are friendly and make the best coffee. The ice coffees are my favorite .”

“Great tacos fast served healthy Food nice people”

“The OG of Hong Kong comfort food. The best mix of barbecue and Hong Kong's style home cooking. You have to try the roast duck, the plate rice comes in a big serving. Everything is fresh and piping hot.”

“Always a good experience at Nick the Greek. Greek food served in a fast food setting but the items are made to order. Can’t beat it. Happy they came to Castro valley”

“I've been there twice & I enjoyed it both times, I haven't been to the new place yet.”

“We LOVE Knudsens!!! Our favorite!!”

“Shout out to the crew today! Food was amazing! Shawntell and Yusko (Sorry in advance if I spelled your names wrong) made a great team and the food they made was so good. They talk to you like family and get into conversation with you, they talk among themselves as well. I watched them work together to get many orders done. I can't believe the way they handled everything. Thank you to who ever trained them, you did an amazing job. Thank you two for an amazing experience and asking me lots of questions. I LOVED my food !!!! I will be back!”

“General poor service. Milk purchased here often goes bad within three days and long before the expiration date. Manager wasn't interested in why. All kinds of water on the floors from refrigerator and freezer leaks. I tried complaining to corporate but no interest. Out of stock on about 15% of the items I needed but that may be common now days.

I wanted to update my review. I'm happy to say that things have improved at this store. The staff seems more helpful and even a bit happier. They seem to have things in stock now and all the refrigerator and freezer leaks seem to be repaired. I think they put some investment back into the store. Changing my rating from 2 to 4.”

“Best veggie pizza I’ve ever had!!!!”

“I have been coming to Burrito Shop for years, decades really, and I've never been disappointed. I've tried numerous items on their menu and have always enjoyed being surprised at how good their food is. Any evening that ends with a burrito shop meal is a good end to the day!”

“Had 2 of the 2 entrée dinners. The first with chow mein, Broccoli beef and orange chicken. The 2nd had the fried rice, broccoli beef and string bean chicken. Fried rice was definitely undercooked, the rice kernels were much too chewy. Otherwise pretty good. We did take out and it took about 10 mins to get home, I like the change to the biodegradable containers but they don't keep it as hot as the plastic ones. Just means I'll eat in vs take home.”

“I enjoyed my Hawaiian BBQ. Customer was Great! The Restaurant very clean including the Restroom! I've been here at least 4 to 3 times a month! Enjoyed it!!!!”

“As a run for the border has side effects, some worse than others, this one doesn't include a dirty kitchen. Tables aren't sticky nor is the floor. The crew is doing a good job.”
