“Liked the variety of food. Pineapple was so tasty that we'd still love more even we are full. Service was fantastic. I was celebrating my birthday and got a free dessert. The papaya cream with liquor is a must-try!”
“My gf and I got 1 lb of snow crab, half lb of clams, half lb of shrimp, extra potatoes and corn with their signature Loui sauce. They give a free side if you get 2 lbs+ of seafood. We got the garlic noodles which was amazing with their seafood boil. If you like garlic, this is a must have! The food was fantastic and atmosphere was great. Service was standard - no complaints!”
“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.”
“Philz is always solid!
I always like getting a Philtered Soul Cold Brew. Always consistent throughout the bay area.
Only downside it is significantly more expensive than other coffee options in the area.
Parking can get super busy during peak hours. When they are busy, coffee could definitely take awhile to come out. Definitely use the app if you're in a rush!”
“Family discovered MeloMelo in Cupertino by wandering around after visiting the Sanrio store close by. Place looked bright and clean and their display cases looked great. Line was decently big and there was a great buzz in the air. All good signs. We tried a couple of flavors and bought some more to share with family. Now we stop by every time we visit family in California.”
“Service was great! We had a large party (multiple to young families) and we were able to get seated all together. Additionally the ordering process through the app makes it easy, imo, and collaborative, too. The food was fantastic - delivered to the table quickly, was great temperature and the flavor and texture were delicious! Look forward to returning.”
“Great place for a unique breakfast. The millionaire bacon is a must try (at least once). The servers were great. The place can get a little busy so best to get there early.”

“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!”

“My favorite tea spot in the bay. If you want high quality tea freshly made from loose tea leaves full of aroma, this is the place for you. My favorite is their dragon well milk tea. I cannot go to other tea places after I have it. They don’t have the hypes like Heytea or Molly tea but their tea is way better in my opinion. Give it a try and you will be able to tell the difference!”
“Came here for a casual date night on a Friday. Place was pretty empty for a Friday which meant we got seated right away, and staff was friendly throughout. Portions run small so plan to order more than you think you need. Still a great value. For the food itself:
The Dan Dan noodles are the move. Oily, salty, spicy, and the Sichuan peppercorns actually numb your face and stick around. Makes sense they're the most popular thing on the menu.
Chicken xiao long bao were good but the broth inside was weak compared to other places I've had them. Still good though.
Chicken potstickers were well executed, good crisp on the bottom, but nothing standout about them.
Sweet and sour cucumber was a solid starter and looked nice, but the slices were too thick to actually be able to rip out.
The egg fried rice is really good. Oilier than most but that's exactly why it works.”
“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 go for a hearty braised meat meal. Every dish is cooked to perfection and the flavors are interesting and remain authentic. Today we got the braised pork rib which were tender, juicy, and flavorful, and the duck gizzard which was very tasty. Highly recommend this place!”

“Our meals ( fillet steak and lamb lollipops) were delicious. The Brussels sprouts were excellent, so flavorful. The wedge salad, which we shared was so tasty with the candied bacon and green apple slices along with the usual tomatoes. So good. The service was excellent. We had a perfect birthday dinner with a personalized dessert presented after our main course. Will definitely eat dinner here again.”
“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.”
“Honestly one of the best sushi place i been to in a good while, very nice vibe and feels very local. Nice and relaxing atmosphere and great food for honestly a great price and a good pic for a night out with out breaking the back. I definitely plan in going back and making it my go to Spot for sushi”

“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!”
“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.”
“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.”

“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!”

“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.”
“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.”
“Food is always fresh and delicious. There’s always a variety of specials every week besides their main menu items. It’s easy to place an order and pickup. Try it; it will become your main takeout restaurant like it has become ours!”

“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.”
“I heard Cupertino has all of the best boba spots and that Fantasia was an original popular spot for boba. Located in the Ranch99 plaza it can get busy and parking may be a little difficult but there’s a parking garage across the parking lot from the store. They have some indoor and outdoor seating. I enjoyed my boba and I got their Jasmine Milk Tea with boba (50% sweet), and I got my friends Jasmine Mill Tea regular sweetness to go and dropped it off for them. My friends all got different drinks - grapefruit, white peach, taro, etc and all really enjoyed it! They have a bathroom for customers and some other food and pastries that they sell there. Service was great, very quick and efficient. It was raining that Sunday evening and we were lucky to get a table. Nice spot for people to hang out and meet up.”
“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.”
“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!”
“THIS FOOD IS SO FREAKING DELICIOUSSSSSS

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“For me, the gold standard is a chocolate chip cookie. If it is not good, then nothing else matters. That being said, the chocolate chip cookies here are good but not fantastic. A bit too sweet for my taste. The other cookies are a mixed bag ranging from decent, to interesting, to unusual. Some work and some don't. We liked the brownie batter and the snickerdoodle was middle of the road. The cookies with Oreo crumbles and fillings were not our cup of tea at all. Location is clean with courteous and fast service and plenty of parking.”
“I recently visited Shu Shia, and it was honestly a great experience. The drinks taste super fresh and natural, especially their fruit teas and smoothies. You can really tell they use high-quality ingredients, and everything feels light and refreshing instead of overly sugary. 
The menu is also really interesting, with unique combinations like avocado smoothies, coconut mango drinks, and fruit teas with fun toppings. Every sip feels flavorful and well-balanced, and the textures make the drinks even more enjoyable. 
The shop itself has a clean and modern vibe, making it a nice place to stop by with friends or just grab a quick drink. Overall, Shu Shia is a great spot if you’re looking for something tasty, refreshing, and a bit healthier than typical boba drinks.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Would definitely recommend!”
“Probably the best fast casual chicken restaurant that doesn't specialize in hot chicken.
Pretty decent priced with a good app and overall a lot to like on their menu. They also have some unique sides like brussel sprouts.
Overall I visit a couple times a year and would recommend.”
“This place was good, the tacos are pretty small but the price for them was not bad compared to other trucks. The service was great and the food was delicious. The chili was perfect, not too spicy, and the meat was flavorful. Overall a great place to grab a quick bite. We will definitely be back.”
“I came here multiple times and absolutely the best clay pot rice I ever had! Its better than the one I had in Guangzhou. I love their on the side soy sauce and chili oil, you can customize to match your taste. The chili oil is not too greasy or spicy, but smell amazing on the rice. The amount of the meat they serve is also very reasonable.”

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