Service was top-notch, never needed to ask for more drinks or anything else. It was all done very well. Overall, very satisfying experience at this location.

Don’t get fooled by its location in a strip mall, this is definitely something I’d want to experience again.“

A relaxing, fun, and surprisingly memorable experience. Definitely worth checking out !“

“I visited the Castro Valley location tonight after the Dublin restaurant closed. This location is excellent, with friendly and attentive wait staff. The food quality is consistently high. We ordered the Italian sausage fettucini and Cajun chicken fettucini with a salad combo, and both pastas were served hot and fresh. My family is definitely committed to returning to this restaurant.“

“everything!! made us the best turtle cheesecake for a Birthday ❤️ it was incredible“

“The food is awesome, the service is nice. The fish is very fresh and the rice blends in perfectly, very high quality. One thing they need to improve on is to be more careful with allergies. They need to ask to put rolls from the same order in the same container, especially those containing mayo. This is mainly because people are allergic to egg and mayo has egg so the mayo from one roll can easily contaminate another roll if put in the same box. Otherwise the food is awesome.

“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!!“

“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.“

“Came in last Sunday for brunch- one of the best Eggs Benedict I’ve ever had! Washed it down with fresh squeezed orange juice, side of fresh fruit and out of this world coffee cake. Our server, Jorge was working the bar and gave us such amazing service. Best experience I’ve had at brunch in a long time!! Will be back! Told family and friends how delicious it was too!“

“Who would have expected a really good bagel place in Castro Valley? And yet this place consistently impresses. The service is beyond reproach, polite but professional with a smile. The bagels are great: bready, just chewy enough but not so much that it will hurt your jaw, crisp on the outside. Toothsome, would be a good way to describe them. The cream cheese is always fresh and tasty, Overall, for the area, a very good bagel place. PS Try the crepe with whipped cream and Strawberries, yummy!!“

“I visited this restaurant twice. It was so good I went back for seconds, lol. However, the second time I ordered a meat meal. The bbq Hawaiin chicken was so good both times, but the chicken Katsu lacked seasoning but was crunchy and hot. I loved the macaroni salad! I will still eat here, but I will order the bbq chicken

Parking: Small parking lot but never had a problem parking“
