“This was our final night visiting family. We all got together to have dinner here. The food was excellent. The service was impeccable. Definitely would eat here again and recommend it highly”
“We celebrated Father’s Day at Cap’t Loui and it was truly an amazing experience from start to finish. Our server, Aung, went above and beyond to make sure our family was well taken care of along with the rest of the team, they made sure our water glasses were always full and our dump buckets were emptied promptly, so we could just relax and enjoy our meal.
The food, as always, was delicious fresh seafood and great flavors that keep us coming back. But what really makes Cap’t Loui stand out is how they genuinely care about their guests. I was so impressed by the extra touches: the restroom has mouthwash and there’s a hygiene station stocked with toothbrushes, hair ties, lotion, stain remover, and even tampons.
It’s rare to find a restaurant that doesn’t just feed you well but also thinks about your comfort and little unexpected needs. For me, dining here felt like more than just having lunch it was a thoughtful, comfortable experience that made our Father’s Day special.
Highly recommend Cap’t Loui and a big shoutout to Aung and the wonderful team! We’ll definitely be back.”
“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!”

“First I came with my friends. Then I came with my parents and their friends.
This place is so yummy and a hit no matter who you come with.
My favorite to order in order is
1) sweet and sour fried fish
2) sauteed eggplant with fish flavor (idk why it's so good here)
3) house special fish
4) Brown sugar cakes
Everything is good but those are my favorite go to.
The staff are so friendly and kind as well. It's my go to family style restaurant.
Parking: Right in front of the restaurant there's plenty of free parking. I've never had trouble parking here even at peak dinner time on a Saturday night”

“Dough Zone was great for a late dinner. The service was extremely fast (we waited less than a minute for a cold dish and got out of the restaurant within 30m) and the food was good. And best of all, the prices are extremely affordable. Many filling items are under $10 and parking is free. Would recommend!”
“Went to Chicha San Chen for the first time and was not disappointed. We also got to do a tea tasting with Lucas. He is very knowledgeable on the types of tea they serve and history behind the company and making of the tea and overall gave us a great tea tasting experience!”

“Very friendly and great service along with good food. We ordered both the langzhu hand pulled noodles which came with thin slices of pork. We also ordered the beef with pickled vegetables which we think has more flavor than the other dish. But both were excellent and the bowls were very large and came to our table a few minutes after we ordered. Service was exceptional with the staff asking several times if we needed anything else. The bathroom was very clean as well. We highly recommend this place.”
“Great local winery in an excellent location for making fine wines”

“Great customer service. Fresh Salsas, every day they told me. The place is great for lunch or dinner. I had a chicken burrito. It has sour cream and guacamole rice and beens. It was good! They tell me that the wet burrito is good. After they Wrap the burrito they add cheese on top after it's been wrapped and then they add a special sauce the one they use on enchiladas and then they put it to bake so the outside cheese melts. Sure sounds tasty I would say!”
“I came to San Jose and tried the iced mint mojito for the first time, and it was surprisingly to my taste. I went there three days in a row while I was in San Jose, just to drink this. The atmosphere of the Philz Coffee shop was nice, and most importantly, there was a white female employee working there, and she was very kind. She even gave me a salmon sticker.”
“Amazing experience for a table of 5. Everything we ordered was fantastic. We ordered a filet mignon & sea bass, and splurged on the Alexander's Trio (which included small portions of the dry aged prime / f1 crossbreed / A5 wagyu) as well the Australian wagyu cross (ribeye 12 oz). For sides, we ordered the unagi fried rice, lobster truffle mac and cheese, and truffle fries. Every dish was amazing.”
“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.”
“No wonder there are long lines on the weekends. We went during the week ( and the kids are back to school) The food is excellent! The souffle egg skillet with a side of Brussel sprouts/potato medley is very good. Comes with ciabatta au levain toast. Healthy and tasty food is my favorite way to eat. Fresh squeezed orange juice.
Casual atmosphere inside. Outside seating, I had the sun in my eyes, but there are umbrellas out.”

“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😔)”

“This is one of my favorite places to eat at in Cupertino.
QQ Noodle is a no frills, causal and quick service place. Don’t let that fool you though. The place is clean and the staff is friendly.
There is a QR code at each table and you scan to place your order. The waiters will then bring your food out to you. The food comes out quick and delicious.
What we ordered:
Liang Pi: This is one of my favorite dishes and not many places make this anymore. QQ Noodles makes my favorite Liang PI and this is a dish I will always order if I see it on the menu in both North Cal and NYC. The noodles are bouncy, the cucumbers refreshing and just the right level of spice. No frills deliciousness.
Sour Mustard and Grass Fish Noodle Soup: I tried it with wide noodle but next time I think I will get the round. The wide noodles are hand pulled which have that great texture and chew. It is done well so there is not a mouthful of dough like some other places. Fish is plentiful and so is the portion of sour mustard.
Large Plate Chicken Noodles (No Bone). Not on their printed menu, this was an option when you scan the QR code. They use chicken thighs and its braised with potato. Flavorful and just the right level of spice thats too spicy but offers a little kick for flavor.
If you are in the neighborhood, stop by for a quick meal. TP tea in the same strip mall is also a wonderful Bubble tea place that makes their drinks with brewed tea.”

“I stopped by this pizza place recently and was really impressed! The staff was super friendly and welcoming from the moment I walked in. The atmosphere was cozy and clean, making it a great spot to grab a casual bite with friends or family. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend if you’re in the mood for good pizza and warm service!”
“The staff are very nice and give great recommendations for drinks. They will even cater drinks to your preferences. The bar feels friendly, welcoming and has a good atmosphere. The food is also great, I the charred octopus, spicy garlic noodles and classic sabayon and they were all delicious.”
“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 place is so great OMG. I messed up my order but they still fixed it at no extra cost. They gave each cup of coffee individualized attention and made sure it was what we wanted. The selections are huge. They also have a lot of specialty sandwiches that I didn't get to try this time but will certainly try again when I'm in the area.”

“I think the cream of the cake is not too sweet, has just the right texture and is very delicious. The cake design is simple and cute, and the fruit is very fresh, adding a refreshing taste to the whole thing. However, the sponge cake body is a bit dry, which affects the moistness of the taste. It would be better if it could be softer and more tender. ?”
“GET THE TAMARIND SOFT SHELL CRAB.
Looks great, execution needs a little work but by far the only good pho on the Cupertino side of San Jose! Pho noodles slightly overcooked, and the rib is grilled instead of simmered in soup. Soup is great though, and infinite fish sauce table side.
Also, egg coffee and sugar cane are surprisingly genuine; no shortcuts or fillers.”

“This beautifully crafted coffee shop is part of the Apple Park Visitor Center. It serves Italian coffee along with a selection of sandwiches and sweets. While the coffee and food are fairly standard, the atmosphere makes it a standout. It’s a great spot to relax and catch up with family or friends in a sleek, modern setting.”
“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 !”
“I have used the Cupertino location for many years to ‘feed the children’ in my summer education program. The staff there are always warm, friendly, have my order ready,
and help me carry my large orders out to my car.
Pizza My Heart is my favorite pizza and Cupertino is my favorite location!!!
Yummm………”
“Came in at 1:30pm on a friday, no problems with the free parking lot and immediately found a seat.
Food was great! Tried the original, soy garlic and spicy galbi fried chicken, also had a tteokbokki and onion rings. Everything was lovely.
Service was solid, you could order from a tablet and in general the staff were pleasant and friendly.
Atmosphere was good, generally upbeat kpop music but not too loud that a conversation won't be possible.”
“11/28/23 They now have Boba drinks and cold brew coffee, both of which I enjoy very much! The cold brew is great all by itself--was expecting to need cream and sugar, but it has a natural flavor that was great alone. The Boba is very well done here and neither overcooked nor undercooked. Try the iced mocha, and use decaf if you don't like caffeine as their decaf blend is very high quality and tastes great!Parking at De Anza is still free as of this date; no parking pass required at this time.”
“Food is delicious. I recommend the garlic beef or the spicy garlic beef.
It can get a little smokey inside due to the sizzling plates, which I wish they invested a bit more in the ventilation.
It shares a lot with several other businesses, so at busy times, it can be hard to find parking”
“Food is nice and their tomato soup is my kid’s favourite. Their staff is friendly too.”

“They dont really serve food but you can bring your own in. Really fun place. Couple pool tables great service. Most folks I talked to have been coming here for decades, so that's got say something! Great bartenders! Especially the day time guy!
Cash only though. They have an atm on site if needed. Definitely worth it stopping by.”
“The boss is so cute! Very funny and heartwarmingQuote: "It doesn't taste good just because everyone's taste is different.""I can't say it's the best, but it's really delicious.""Don't buy too much for your first time here. What if the taste doesn't suit your taste?"Although it is a bit salty, it is delicious. Recommended!”
“Aroma of all the freshly baked bread will draw you in. Then you'll see all the delicious classic savory and sweet Asian breads, and your eyes will pop and mouth water. Soon as you see the prices you'll leave with a bag full of goodies to share with the whole family. Absolutely awesome!”
“Our friend's favorite for tea, we got hot milk tea this time with 25% sugar. We saw a flan with a cute jar. The tea arrived quickly as we sat in the corner eating our snacks. It got a bit noisy after more people arrived after their dinner so we sat outside. The flan was ok, more jello style vs. egg custard. Service was nice.”
“Really kind staff. Was in a hurry to purchase a cake for an event in 30 min, and staff immediately noticed, helping us finish the purchase within a few minutes of my mom & I walking in. Henry was very kind in speeding the purchase and recommended leaving a review; so very happy to :). In terms of atmosphere, everyone seemed to have a good time, whether eating with family, studying, spending with friends, etc. Moving to menu, large selection (including cakes) some of which are moderate sweetness that my mom & I enjoy. Cake chosen at time of visit was very popular at potluck we attended around 20 minutes after purchase.”
“TP Tea in Cupertino delivers a polished bubble tea experience with a focus on quality ingredients and consistent flavor. The menu leans into classic Taiwanese milk teas, fruit teas, and creamy lattes, with standout options like the signature Pearl Milk Tea and the refreshing Mango Green Tea. Toppings are fresh and well-portioned, and the sweetness and ice levels are customizable, which makes it easy to tailor your drink to your liking.
The shop itself is clean and modern, with a minimalist design that keeps the focus on the drinks. Service is efficient, and even during peak hours, the line moves quickly. While seating is limited, it’s a great grab-and-go spot for students, professionals, or anyone craving a reliable tea fix. TP Tea’s attention to detail and smooth ordering process make it a dependable favorite in Cupertino’s competitive boba scene”
“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.”
“Dainty cuisine’s chive pancakes and Shanghai fresh meat buns are absolutely delicious! I had ordered them yesterday, it amazing—thin, crispy skin with a generous filling, bursting with flavor in every bite, not greasy at all, with just the right amount of savory goodness. The front desk service is warm and welcoming, and I highly recommend it to anyone! Also the fresh meat buns, I satisfy in every steaming hot bite! The salty rice balls are also a pleasant surprise, with super crispy fried dough sticks and a flavor that makes them the perfect breakfast choice!”
“The staff are very nice and give great recommendations for drinks. They will even cater drinks to your preferences. The bar feels friendly, welcoming and has a good atmosphere. The food is also great, I the charred octopus, spicy garlic noodles and classic sabayon and they were all delicious.”

“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.”
