“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 😊“

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.“

Both were similar with the exception of the basil flavored in the later one. Not sure if they have a parking lot though. I found parking on the street.“

Lake Chabot Marina & Café Cafe • $

“Lake Chabot is an insider tip for tourists! We discovered this beautiful recreational area by chance a few years ago and were now happy to go there again for a day trip. On weekends you can take a guided boat tour and learn a lot of interesting things about the Bay Area, as the lake was named after the engineer Chabot, who was instrumental in building the water pipeline system in the Bay Area.
Update October 2024:
Still beautiful here! You can get delicious food in the Marina Café, we loved it!“

Everything was fresh and tasted great. Be careful eating the dumplings, the yummy liquid inside squirted everywhere when I bit into it! I would not say it’s a relaxing dinner environment more of get in and get out kind of place but you don’t begrudge that fact. It was busy enough to tell that the food was good but not too busy I had to wait on a Saturday night at 7.“

“Thai is my favorite cuisine and this place never disappoints. I have yet to find a better thai restaurant in the bay area and even in the US. The tom yum soup is top notch. Their pad thai is incredible. The only complaint I have is that they can never manage to make the food spicy enough, but to be fair, nobody is able to make it spicy enough for me.“

The shrimp mushroom pasta was an excellent large 25-30 size. They did not cut any corners in fresh shrimp cooked to perfection. All the food was delivered steaming hot. Pasta was cooked, just right, and it was excellent. We also ordered cheesy bread thumbs up. 63$ Cant beat that for fresh hot Italian food we will be back.

These guys always serve very generous portions of meat, with the rice, beans, sour cream, guacamole, pico de gallo, and tortillas. I'm always skeptical about ordering the fajitas in fear of getting mostly veggies, lol, but this place did not disappoint. I'll be back for more of their menu.“

“I had called in my order the lady who took my order was very well spoken she repeated my order so they would get it correct. It was ready when I got there I recognized the lady's voice and ask her for the manger she told me she was the manager on duty. She asked me if there was something wrong with the order.I told I just wanted to let her boss know how pleasant she was talking to something about her voice . She said thank you and asked me if there was anything else she could do for me . I stop coming to this location because of the service but decided to give it another chance because I live so close. Joan made me change my mind about it so for the last 2 months I have been coming every week. Great employee. I only go in there when I know she is working.“

“This is an amazing find in Castro Valley! We went there because we needed a place to have lunch. We were surprised with not only an amazing selection, but extremely welcoming, owner and servers, and the food! The food was incredible. They do not cater to American taste. This is the real thing. The vegetables with tofu sauce were incredible as was the pork and everything else we had the dessert of tofu with mantis or ginger is a must. Highly recommend!!“
