“Came here for a company dinner. Food, ambience and service were fantastic. Their proteins (meats, shrimp, and salmon) were perfectly seasoned and cooked. Loved the presentation of their “Golden Steak.” Their salad/appetizer bar had excellent selections including smoked salmon, honey smoked bacon (reminded me of OCK’s) and a charcuterie board with assorted cold cuts and cheese. This is now my favorite Churrascaria.”
“Arguably the best Cajun seafood in the Bay Area. We’re practically regulars here, we come about every two weeks. The headless shrimp, mussels, and king crab are all fantastic. The service is great too, very attentive, and parking is super easy. You can even grab dessert next door afterward with no problem.
If I had to point out one downside, it’s that the front door is ridiculously heavy and hard to push open.”
“One of the best Kebab wrap sandwich I have had. Very clean healthy and tasty. Also a very nice Persian store.”
“Best Sabich!!! Their Pita taste good!!! Staff are polite. Quick service!”

“This boba shop was absolutely wonderful! We tried their mango match bubble tea, 2 popcorn chicken varieties, and the new menu items of taro milk pudding. They were delicious.
Staff were especially kind and welcoming. We felt like VIP even though this was our first time visiting here. Their service was also fast and professional.”
“I was surprised by the large portion sizes. The waitress made great recommendations! Everything looks great, tastes great and this is a great go to spot I’ll go to whenever I am in town!”
“Aburi Shime Saba: (5/5)
The aburi shime saba is the best thing on the menu. It’s lightly poached and the caramelized sugar on top adds the perfect contrast of texture and flavor. I’ve been here a few times to try the appetizers, but the MUST GET item is still this saba.
Uzumakiya Udon: (4/5)
The Uzumakiya Udon is good,the noodles are chewy, not overcooked; and the broth is flavorful. The other toppings leave something to be desired, so if you want to be satisfied, order the Oxtail instead. (Although it’s gotten quite expensive😔)”

“Second review: This is my go-to pizza spot in Cupertino. I usually order the same pizza because it’s always consistent and done right, but today I switched it up and tried the all-meat pizza—and wow. What really stood out was the fried, crispy bacon on top. Most places just throw on ham or soft bacon, but this was next-level. The crispy bacon added so much flavor and texture and made the whole pizza incredible. Definitely a new favorite, and I’ll be ordering this again.
I love this place! The service is excellent, and the pizza is always served quickly. They really understand what pizza lovers want. They even allow you to request that the pizza box be left open, so the pizza doesn’t retain moisture. This is a long-overdue review. Thank you, Blaine, for maintaining such high quality!”
“Been coming here since they opened. Lemon slices with water is awesome but I do have one complaint is the recent change to their chicken sumac recipe changed and my kids can’t eat the new saltier and spiced up recipe. Even the chicken shawarma is kind of spicy now and unable to feed to children. I hope you can fix this.”

“I visited twice. The first time, me and my friends tasted a wide assortment their expensive exotic steaks (exclusively). I generally am not a fan of these fatty steaks so I won't evaluate that visit. Service was great though: The server was akin to a steak professor with all his knowledge and lectures before the food arrived. The second time I came, we only ate American style steaks (all ordered medium rare). Some of it was pretty tough, but overall slightly better than we could prepare in our home. Nonetheless, I've had better steaks for less money before in other steakhouses. Also, it was disappointing that they don't accommodate babies at all (no high chairs, no strollers allowed, even when the restaurant was quite empty). Later we found out that they did list this on the website (inconspicuously). Nonetheless, I didn't let this frustrating aspect affect the review.”
“We are very grateful for their outstanding service. The managers and their employees are very well trained in making your restaurant experience be a one of a kind. Our waiter Victor was able to acknowledge our dietary modifications very well by serving us very wholesome and healthy meals. Ask for him if he’s there, he’s awesome and will spoil you with great service, he’s the best! The Happy hour experience was also very excellent. They have excellent prices and a very fun friendly atmosphere. Keep up the great happy hour and hospitality lively 😌”
“This restaurant catered the recent fund raiser for the Cupertino Historical society and the food WAS TO DIE FOR! The best food I’ve ever had at such an event. Standouts were the pineapple rice, the vegetable pastries the chicken satay the pad Thai and cooked chicken on a skewer the desserts were great too - little candied strawberries and tiny slices of an amazing cake. We are staff and we were just swooning over the tastes of everything. I want to take my mom to the restaurant now”
“This is my favorite Chinese restaurant, just discovered within the last few months. My extended family always goes out for Chinese food (we are Chinese) when we get together so we've been to many restaurants in Santa Clara County. Everyone in our big group thought it was very good.”
“This Korean BBQ restaurant truly exceeded my expectations! The quality of the beef is outstanding — easily comparable to the Hanwoo beef I’ve had in Korea. You can really taste how premium and fresh the meat is, especially when grilled.
The banchan (side dishes) selection is also very generous and well-prepared, offering great variety and authentic flavors. A special shoutout to their seasonings and sauces — the sauce selection is way more extensive than most Korean BBQ spots, and each one pairs perfectly with the meat.
Most importantly, this place is not just about BBQ. Their braised spicy pork ribs (the famous Korean spicy rib stew) are incredibly flavorful and deeply marinated, with the sauce soaking into every bite. It’s rich, spicy, and absolutely comforting.
Oh, BTW. Our sever is absolutely amazing, super helpful and very nice .
If you’re looking for authentic Korean flavors, high-quality meat, and amazing sauces all in one place, this spot is a must-try. Highly recommended!”
“Wei's Fish has delicious sauerkraut Fish soup at a good price. They have both spicy and non-spicy options. Steamed rice comes included for free when you dine-in. One large fish soup is plenty for a family of 3. It is also kid-friendly with kids meals that have hot dog and spaghetti and they give younger ones a colorful pinwheel souvenir.”

“Love these cookies
They are delicious and the owner takes special care to R&D all the flavors. Cookies taste amazing and freeze well. So when I make special trip down I get a bunch cut them in half and freeze them for when I want a sweet treat. They are big so it's perfect for sharing! Good for parties too”
“Ox 9 in Cupertino is consistent in quality with all other locations I've tried. I always enjoy the Lanzhou hand-pulled noodles for their noodle texture and broth flavor--incredibly soothing and satisfying. Looking forward to visiting this location more as the weather cools down 🙂↕️”
“I've never actually been to the physical store but I've had their cake a few times from friends or relatives for special occasions. Classic asian style cream cakes that are moist and not too sweet which I love. Their cheesecake(?) was really rich and tasty and I also loved their Christmas chocolate matcha strawberry cream cake!”
“This is hands down the best hot dog I’ve ever had.
The premium beef hot dog was amazing — perfectly crispy on the outside and incredibly juicy and flavorful inside. You can really taste the quality of the sausage.
Huge shoutout to the guy with curly hair and the other cook — both were super friendly and provided excellent customer service.
Highly recommend this place, you definitely won’t regret it!”

“First time trying this chain restaurant. Pretty good first impression with speedy service by the young and energetic staff. Food is ordered via the QR code and came out piping hot in a few minutes. Tasty dishes just be careful not to burn your tongue!! Reasonable prices. Can recommend.”
“Place is really good, one of my favorite. Their chicken soup is normally good but for the first time had to send back due to not enough chicken taste. Pings did it without a problem and even gave us a dish on the house”

“Chicken & rice is everywhere now, but I think the chicken here is very tender and the selection is convenient.
The rice can be replaced with salad, when I want to eat a diet meal, I will buy chicken + salad here , or tofu .
Chicken can choose: white / dark meat with skin or without skin
The ginger sauce , Singapore soy sauce are my flavor sauce !”
“This place is spacious inside. If you come during peak time, there's usually a line. Their food comes quickly, so the wait usually isn't too bad.
The XLB is juicy inside and the dumpling size is bigger than Ding Tai Fung's. I'd say the skin is as thin and comparable to Ding Tai Fung's too. We tried all three kinds: the regular pork ones, pork with crab meat, and the shrimp with loofah squash. They're all good.
The flavor of the three-cup chicken is good, however, too many bones. They chopped the chicken with bones and there were fragmented bone pieces. You'll need to be careful when eating this dish.
Their steamed beef dumplings are good, but a bit on the salty side.
The sliced beef and cucumber roll with green onion pancake is so-so. Only has one thin slice of beef and there's not enough meat inside, compared to other restaurants I tried.
Their fried rice are tasty. We tried a few before and they're all decent. The picture below is the Sakura Shrimp fried rice and it's very flavorful without being too salty.
The steamed sole fish (filet) is surprisingly good. Worth a try if you haven't ordered this before, and no fish bones!
Their scrambled eggs with prawns is good. A lot of prawns and tasty eggs. A good protein dish.
Their sauteed veggies are pretty good too. We tried the sauteed A-choy and bitter melon with garlic. Both dishes are decent.
The boiled tofu with house special sauce is excellent.
If you don't want to wait for long line at Ding Tai Fung, this is the place to come. Of course if you want way better (Americanized) service, go to Ding Tai Fung. This service at this place is like typical authentic Chinese restaurants, don't expect too much.”
“Jared’s Coffee is a gem on campus.
Great customer service, friendly conversation, and genuinely awesome drinks every single time. I also really appreciate the rewards card option — such a smart touch for students and staff who stop by often.
If you’re on campus and want good coffee plus a warm, welcoming vibe, this is the place to support. Jared is doing everything right — definitely worth making this your go-to spot.”
“bbq is the best of the best quality chicken in the world. I ordered bbq chicken here on Thanksgiving Day yesterday and tried it.
Especially the bbq Apple Park store chicken here is crispy on the outside and so soft on the inside, and the taste of secret sauce is fantastic.
Be sure to give it a try. Maybe you won't regret it.”
“THIS FOOD IS SO FREAKING DELICIOUSSSSSS
had the xiao long bao - divine, hui guo rou - divine, sticky rice - divine. will definitely be back...!!”

“Loved this first experience of Takiyaki. We had, red bean, blackbean sesame and Nutella. All were delicious. Many customers were walking out with the variants of the waffle like cones with soft serve, and toppings. Parking was available. And we enjoyed sitting the sun right there. Saturday schedule 😋 The recycle, trash and compost bins right there as well.”
“Such delicious food for a great price. The hainanese chicken was succulent and the spring onion sauce was perfect for the chicken rice. I loved the vegetable with seafood too, cooked with delicious peanuts. The laksa is not like the one from Singapore, definitely a new creation.”
“We tried the new Malatang options and it was really good! Big variety in veggies and meat you could choose from, and everything was cooked to perfection. The noodles in particular were thin but chewy, which was a pleasant surprise! The interior is very spacious, and parking wasn't a problem on a Saturday.”
“I dropped my drink while waiting in line before even having a chance to take a sip. their staff (his name is either Gregory or George, sorry I only saw his name tag briefly while trying to clean up the spill) made me another drink right away. his kindness made my day.”
“Good, clean food at reasonable prices. Lots of options for pizza and they change it up with seasonal flavors.
Coffee works 💪 they have sparkling water on tap too.
The best part is the customizable salads. They have more options and toppings than any place I can think of. Do get the mozzarella balls.”
“This is my favorite spot that have to stop by whenever I am in the area. The drink quality is consistently good and strong tea flavor. The only thing I wish they were more flexible about is customizing the ice. I usually order one extra drink with no ice, since want to save it for my long drive back to LA. understand that the drinks are made according to their set formula, so the liquid doesn't fill the cup all the way, but they still don't offer a no-ice option. That said, the staff is always super kind and helpful, and they gave me extra ice on the side so could keep my drink cold for the drive. It was a thoughtful solution!”
“Came from out of town for work. Randomly stumbled upon this little jam. The 滷肉拌麵 is so tasty I don't know how to describe it. You would have to try it yourself. And it's only $10?! Where do you find cheap yummy food like this.They take credit cards, but no AMEX. Take out only.”
“The patio dining is a great option but I heard the bar calling. A seat presented itself as I approached and prompt, professional service enhanced every drop of beer, both before and after lunch.”
“Pad see ew was Delicious . Pad Thai was great, egg rolls was perfect Definitely will order again”

“Good selection of healthy foods. Their beef is so tender . Fried rice is to die for. The chef Heli is so professional, very precise and amiable. Our waitresses/server , Maya, was so pleasant and attentive to guests . Next time I go back I have to try their seafood selections. My only complaint is the location . It should be out there along Stevens Creek like in Santana Row rather than hidden in that dark corner of the complex. But definitely I will recommend it to my friends.”
“This boba shop was absolutely wonderful! We tried their mango match bubble tea, 2 popcorn chicken varieties, and the new menu items of taro milk pudding. They were delicious.
Staff were especially kind and welcoming. We felt like VIP even though this was our first time visiting here. Their service was also fast and professional.”
“After a San Jose Giants baseball game my Daughter said Dad let’s go get some Dessert & so we drove up to Cupertino to this late night Taiwanese Hotspot for Desserts. I imagined I was in Taiwan! The place was packed with The Young from Taiwan & The Oriental. How does my lil girl know all these places I wondered… But then when I was her age there was No iPhone or TikTok…we adults need to bear that in mind! News travels faster on iPhone 😉 Good Deserts: whether you like ‘em Cold or Hot! It’s a Desserts Factory & Assembly Line worth seeing & savoring too!”
“Celebrating Lunar New Year 2026 in style!
Meeting up here with Taiwanese friends for Taiwanese breakfast. They serve this menu on Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 8:00 a.m. to 11:30.
They offer a wait list that you can join in their Maps listing when they are busy. We got here at 9:30 and it was fairly quiet. We got a table for eight people and everybody parked right in front of the restaurant but by the time I left at 11:00, it was a very full restaurant with people waiting outside.
First thing you should do when you get to your table is to select what you're going to order then go up to the counter and order. If you have a larger group like we did, everybody can go up and order what they would like, the restaurant will split the bill when it's time to pay.
Once you are done ordering you can return to your seats at your table and before you know it, your food will start appearing. It only took about 5 to 10 minutes after the first order was put in for the food to start arriving at our table. Each dish looking better than the previous one!.
The advantage in going with a group is that you get to try out a lot more items. We ordered a bunch of things for the table and everybody got an individual main dish. I would be very hard-pressed to select one item as my favorite but I think the main dish I ordered was really delicious dish and something I had never tried. I will order it again.
Things we ordered that I would 100% recommend: 1 Peppery Kurobuta Charcoal Bao (The charcoal makes it a very interesting color, not quite black but almost.), an order of them comes with two and the bao are quite large. Soft fluffy dough with a good size pork sausage filling. 2 Sloppy Explosion Pancake, VERY sloppy but sooo good. 3 Turnip Cake Fries. These were absolutely delicious. A mashed daikon radish that is formed into nice fat fries that are pan fried in such a way that the exterior forms a crisp crust around the pillowy soft filling. Much better than any potato fries I've ever had. 4 Spicy Red Oil Mini Wontons with Youtiao. The wontons are filled with a shrimp mixture and then served in a bowl floating in the red chili oil sauce. Eaten by themselves, the red chili oil wontons are spicy. That's where the Youtiao comes in. This is also commonly called a Chinese donut. They are donut like in that the dough is fried in a bar shape. That's where the similarity ends. These are not sweet at all. They're served with this dish so that you can soak up some of that sauce and bring the heat down a little. It's a delicious combination and I ate every single bite! 5 LV Choice Pocket Pie. A starter for the table, flaky and cut into triangles. 6. Honey, Jasmine green tea. Abc a crisp and refreshing green tea beverage with Jasmine floral notes. Very nice accompaniment to the meal. 7 Minced Pork Rice. We ordered a couple for the table so everyone could try. It was a hit!
We left promising to meet up here again!!! Highly recommended!”
“A good Chinese restaurant doesn’t get 5 stars, if it’s a 5 star Chinese restaurant, it’s not good, hence the 4 stars. Food is good here, apparently made in house. Service is great, they refilled our tea without asking. Food came at a good pace. Atmosphere wise, it’s a Chinese restaurant, so yeah it’s loud hence but you can still hear your own table and the table next to you.”

“Huge line on a Saturday…looked intimidating but it isn’t too bad. It’s a slightly confusing process and there’s no staff to explain everything
1. You wait in line to order at the kiosk. While you can order online as well, that’s only for drinks. So you’re stuck waiting if you want gelato. I recommend ordering online if you only want a drink
2. If you ordered gelato on the kiosk, you proceed to wait in another line that’s usually much shorter. They will verify that you ordered gelato on the kiosk. You can try flavors here as well.
3. If you ordered a drink, it will probably take another 10-15 minutes of waiting inside before they call your number. So eat your gelato!
The matcha ice cream was good. No. 3 had a strong tea flavor that wasn’t overpowering. We paired it with hojicha, which was a nice combo.
The White Matcha Champaca drink was excellent. Beautifully blended Jasmine and matcha flavor, with just the right amount of sweetness.”
“I usually don’t like crumbl because they are too too sweet, but this location seems to have really fresh cookies and toppings. The cookies seemed to take long after I ordered so I can tell they were making them fresh. The cookies are a tad sweet for my liking. I appreciate they make everything fresh, the cookies themselves are so good. The shop is new and nice and clean. It’s good for a quick sweet treat. My favorites recently are the strawberry summer specials.”

“It's not like China, but it's pretty good. It's like home”
