“Luis Fernando was absolutely amazing! From the moment we arrived, Luis and his entire team were incredibly attentive and made sure we were well taken care of. The team was very professional when bringing the different meats to the table, presenting everything properly and making sure we never felt overlooked.

Luis was also a fantastic host and really helped make the night feel like more than just another dinner out. He was friendly, social, and made the experience feel like a true pastime with great conversation and energy. He also recommended some incredibly tasty dishes for us to try, which made the meal even more enjoyable.

Overall, the service, food, and atmosphere were outstanding. Luis, and the whole team made our night very memorable. We truly felt welcomed and taken care of from beginning to end.

I would highly recommend asking the front desk if Luis can be your host. He and his team truly go above and beyond to make sure you have an incredible experience. 5 stars all around — we’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Good food and service.loved their big noodle dish and crispy won tons..“

“I am slowly working my way through the whole menu the sea bass was excellent today so was the salmon my friend enjoyed I've had the braised beef and we both had the chicken tenders we will continue to enjoy what is offer especially those new items that just came in. chef Raul and the crew know what they're doing very lovely outing every time“

“I was really impressed and honestly my expectations weren't that high walking in. The wine list had options you don't see everywhere and the bartender actually knew how to talk about each one. My friend ordered the burrata and I got the steak frites, both came out fast and cooked perfectly. I'm picky about steak and this one was genuinely good, juicy and seasoned well. The whole vibe was relaxed too, not pretentious like some places around here. We ended up staying way longer than we planned just because it felt so comfortable. I'll definitely be coming back and already told a few people they have to try it.“

“Myself and a friend were looking for an ice cream joint in the Walnut Creek area, and happen to come across this place.

The owner is very friendly. We tried a variety of flavors, and then ended up getting the Roasted Cashew, Lemon Creme and the Strawberry.

The ice cream was very creamy and thick, with the right amout of sweetness. Extremely tasty. I always try ice cream at local joints, and this one exceeded all expectations. Will definitely come back, if I am in the area.“

“It was our first time at The Melt, and Luis made the whole visit feel easy and welcoming. He helped us choose what to try, and his recommendations were on point. The Meltburger was juicy and full of flavor, the Mac Daddy was crazy good, and the Three Cheese Classic tasted like real comfort food. Luis checked in on us, made sure everything came out hot, and you could tell he really cares about the guest experience. Because of him, our first visit turned into a new favorite spot.“

“This is the closest food joint to the hospital and I’ve never been greeted with such kindness and warmth. The owner and even the cooks and other workers are so familiar with all of the customers. Their stories, their family, all of it and it’s so refreshing to see such a positive environment during people’s difficult days from the hospital. 10/10 to the owners and staff. Food was also pretty fire!“

“best sushi and cheap!!! will come again!!!“

“Food was delicious, we ordered “medium” spice and it was a little too mild for our taste so we’ll order spicy next time. Had Lamb Vindaloo, Chicken Tikka and Veggie Korma with Butter Naan and Indian Pickles, so we kept it simple. Great flavors and everything was very fresh and hot. Restaurant well lit and very pleasant decor, and service was excellent. Highly recommend.“

“OMG 😳 The Ceviche (not counting my wife’s handmade ceviche) is the best I have ever tasted, and I’ve tasted a lot of ceviche. It’s soooo good. I had the Mango 🥭 Avocado 🥑 Shrimp 🍤 Ceviche it was like an explosion of flavors in my mouth, I couldn’t stop eating it. Great tacos 🌮 everything was beyond my expectations. I have probably walked by Puesto’s a hundred times but not anymore it will be my restaurant of choice when in Concord you have to try it. Sorry no picture of the Ceviche 😋“

I should try something else next time because my bf have tried a few different ones and he always end up liking it. I also love the chocolate chip cookie! Wish they sell a pack of 12 😂“

“This restaurant is a local gem! My friend ordered the food for us to share. The first dish she surprised me with was the Foo Young, and I wanted to take all the foo young home for my family to try! It was so yummy!
Their Vietnamese crepes are also made perfectly! We enjoyed the clay pot with all the mushrooms and veggies too.
Don’t overlook this #vegan, #plantbased, #plantforward treasure! Great staff as well. may they always be blessed with plenty of business 🙏🏼“

“This is a gem of a restaurant in Walnut Creek downtown! Excellent service, wonderful mojitos and scrumptious food.
We had the chicken wings, yucca fries and shared a paella. Every thing was delicious and plentiful! Will be going to Havana soon!“

“So wonderful, thank you to my wife Shaunna for bringing me to her old hang out. Great food and nice people!“

“Walked in on a Tuesday evening and the thin-crust pepperoni looked textbook — almost translucent in spots, with the cheese browned just right at the edges from a gas deck oven. The sausage came fennel-forward and crumbled, not pre-formed, which made a noticeable difference with each bite.

Prices sit around $17-18 for a 14-inch specialty, which is fair for the quality. The counter service was quick and patient, even when I asked for half-and-half toppings. The seating is simple — a few booths and tables with a clean, uncluttered vibe. No gluten-free crust here last time I checked, just the regular dough and a solid sauce that leans slightly sweet.“

“Fries were excellent, the hamburger and hotdog were not too bad either“

“Consistently delicious! I’ve been here 4 times now and every visit has been amazing. We ordered the Chicken Kaarage, Honey Bunny roll, salmon carpaccio, and gyoza. All were phenomenal and the vibe of the space is very relaxing with nooks of privacy intentionally provided.
I am glad they put in such effort to provide quality meals, great customer service, and awesome atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“Just a wonderful local resturant. Owner is always warm and welcoming. Food is always wonderful. Fantastic atmosphere.“

“What a good choice of a restaurant to celebrate my husband's Birthday! Everything was top of the line but what amazed me the most was the friendly service that made us feel right at home. Yes...we definitely will come back!“

“Really solid dumpling spot in downtown Walnut Creek. Dumpling Hours has more of a casual, old-school local restaurant vibe, which I personally liked. It is not the kind of place that feels super fancy or overly polished, but that actually made it feel more authentic and comfortable to me.

The food was the best part. The xiao long bao were juicy and flavorful, and I really enjoyed the larger dumplings as well. They were filling without feeling too heavy, and they had that satisfying handmade dumpling texture. One dish that stood out more than I expected was the wood ear mushroom salad. It was fresh, light, and had a nice texture that balanced really well with the dumplings.

Service was pretty typical for a busy dim sum-style restaurant: straightforward, quick, and not overly chatty, but totally fine for the type of place it is. I actually don’t mind that when the food comes out hot and the meal moves smoothly.

Overall, I liked the local feel of the restaurant and would definitely come back when I’m in the mood for xiao long bao and dumplings. It is a nice option to have in Walnut Creek, especially if you want something casual, comforting, and different from the usual downtown restaurant choices.“
