“Wow I was blown away! The workers are extremely nice. They gave us potatoes and corn on the house because we mis read what the meal comes with. We insisted they add it to our tab but they refused. That enough says a lot. The sauces are Aahhhmazzzingg. Almost like a glaze like sauce. So much flavor. Everything was fresh and tasteful. Recommend 10000 percent !”
“With this new owner who has started almost 2-years ago, my family and friends have received GREAT service, very kind people and very tasty and good quality food ????”
“They had a nice selection of beef, chicken, poke, and seafood dishes. The food was flavorful and well prepared. The service was great, and the ambiance was nice.”

“The staff is really helpful and friendly. The theme of the store is also really adorable. The bunny theme is super cute and I love it!! The merchandise is cute as well.”
“I came here on a Sunday afternoon. I had the Chicken Paitan ramen which came with a very tasty chicken leg. The meal was very filling but not too filling - I felt comfortably full by the end of it! The service was quite good too, I recommend this place!”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Great atmosphere for a date night! We ordered the salmon tartare, rose tteokbokki, and kfc cauliflower for appetizers. All of them were great but I was most impressed by the tteokbokki!We followed with the short ribs and the basque cheesecake dessert. They were good but the appetizers were more impressive. I was also disappointed that they no longer did the sweet potato chiffon cake :(”
“My new fav brunch! Loved the food. I had a scramble with bacon and fruit as a side, and it was perfect! I also shared a few bites of millionaire’s bacon from a friend, unique and yummy! Can’t wait to go back. It’s a treat!Dietary restrictions: They were very familiar with my celiac and offered alternatives. Sadly I couldn’t have the side of brussel sprouts and potatoes (looked SO good), but the fruit was perfect.Parking: I parked down the street since the lot was full. Busy place and rightly so!”
“We are big fans of Home Eat. Takeout here is consistently good as they have their own deli area of take away dishes but you can also dine in. When we dined there, we got the lamb hot pot which was nice to share. The highlights are the fried chicken wings which are so tasty. We haven't had any bad dishes here and they usually have affordable specials per month. They also give some freebie dessert sesame balls which was a nice touch. A solid Chinese place if you're looking for consistently fair priced & good food.”

“I've been a regular at Haidilao for quite some time now, and I can always rely on their impeccable service and delicious food. Abel, our server, deserves a special mention for being consistently attentive and on point with his service. Whether it's recommending dishes or ensuring everything is just right, Abel never disappoints. It’s like he reads my mind! The food here is always of consistent quality, making every visit a delightful experience. Highly recommended for anyone craving a fantastic dining experience!”

“This place deserves all stars! Starting from the friendly staff to the nice ambience, and most importantly the ethics of this place! The humanitarian causes they support 100 stars for that! I’d definitely come back!”

“I ordered the squid ink hot dog, which comes with half mozzarella, and was very tasty! I also got spicy mayo drizzled on top, which added another great dimension of flavor.”
“I didn't know it was such a hot place. Surprisingly, there were so many people waiting in line. They had many types of coffee with unique flavors added. Because it was afternoon, I chose chai latte instead of coffee, but the London Fog with lavender and Tokyo Latte with strawberry flavor that my friends chose were really refreshing! I highly recommend you visit at least once.”
“I was introduced here by my relatives and thought the food was decent; however not exceptional enough to fully rate as a 5 star. Despite this, it is a solid restaurant to eat at. I got the coconut curry but thought that it was too rich and too salty. Best to bring a friend or crowd to share with.”
“Love their fish & chips, fried shrimp, many other fish dishes for a special treat.Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs but tables are very close together. Limited outside seating.”
“We had D12, Braised beef shank noodle soup and C1, Braised dish platter. Both are excellent. I would have preferred the beef in the noodle soak in more flavor but the noodle and the soup are 10+. We will be back.”

“Amazing ox tail udon. Very tender. I added a poached egg to it. Broth clean and not salty. We also had chicken karaage and fried whole squid, which was also tender and flavorful. If you are into udon, this is the place to get something that is different from the others. This place gets busy so it's a good idea to get there at opening.”

“Came here for their good variety chasen to buy and I ended up getting the chasen if suikaen! It is one of the cheapest ones in the store for $38. The person who gave me the chasen was super nice enough to explain how to wash and use it. I also got the matcha latte and the recipe is the exact same as the San Jose location, rich in matcha and creamy in dairy! It was super busy when I came here, but other than that, Izumi Matcha is by far my favorite matcha places to go to in the Bay Area!”
“HOLY COW! Dish n Dash was a breath of fresh air. My favorite aspect of Dish n Dash is always their plethora of dips like the garlic dip, roasted red pepper walnut they are all so good and pair well with everything. I got their pulled sumac chicken which in my opinion is their best protein! I got it with frekeh, hummus, and red pepper walnut dip. The frekeh had the perfect texture that complemented the tender flavorful chicken! The chicken was insanely flavorful and it was a cool red color as well! The red pepper walnut dip was so good it was a little tangy and quite creamy as well with the hummus they were both so flavorful but each was a bit too oily. OVERALL I definitely reccomend and the prices are not too exorbitant with the portions being large. It was unique and super tasty so you should definitely give it a try!”
“Udon was delicious, beef was cooked well, sauces were yummyKid-friendliness: The setup is a little difficult for kids. It's kind of intended for one tray per person and fitting multiple bowls on a tray is a little hard, but they have plenty of high chairs and space to use them, so overall it's good.”
“We ordered XL thin crust veggies delight pizza. It was good. It was full of veggies (more olives). They gave only couple condiments with the pizza. Lemon pepper wings and Hot wings were also good. They have posted the Allergen information in their sauces.”
“Everything is great, loved the red chile! Best outside New Mexico! Never had anything this good in California. One thing: don’t get the sopapilla off you’re used to New Mexico style.”
“I used to avoid Philz because I thought they were expensive. Now everywhere else is more expensive for worse quality drinks though so I’ll enjoy my Philz guilt free”
“Updating my older review: I've been coming here for years, since it's a reliable place with fair prices and quality food. (Sometimes I eat here once a week when I'm in town for work). In recent months, though, I've noticed a subtle change. The tomatillo soup (a longtime favorite) is now thinner, with less flavor. I've still been ordering it, but it's not what it was. And now, tonight, the bowl had substantially less soup- about 3/4 of what it usually is. And I also noticed the burrito was a little bit smaller. I'm always satisfied and don't get hungry for the rest of the night after eating here, but not this time. Shrinkflation? Hmmm. I give 4 stars, but I hope they continue the great quality and portions that I've grown to rely on at Aqui. If so, I'll gladly give them 5 stars again.Kid-friendliness: Plenty of families with kids here.”
“We were there for Valentine's Day and the staff was very friendly.The food was very well made and the service was excellent.I had the gnocchi with cured ham. It was very good and the gnocchi were light and sort of rustic. Quite unique but it worked very well.”
“The service deserves 5 stars. Everyone was nice, friendly and attentive. From the person in the front who sat us down, the bartender who made our drinks and everyone who helped us during our visit. Joe was amazing throughout our whole experience. -The missing 1 star is for the steak. I debated with 3 or 4 stars (more 1.5 but can't really do a .5) so 4 it is. As a lot of other reviews mentioned the steak was bland and that is definitely true.The portion was a let down as well, reminded me of Texas roadhouse or even an outback when they served more types of steaks a long time ago. With that said definitely enjoyed my steaks and chops at Texas Roadhouse more. I was expecting more steak for the price and some flavor. None of the sauce helped the steaks :( -Popcorn crab was amazing. Mixture of big and small lump of crab. We enjoyed this appetizer a lot with the aioli. This was my favorite. -For lunch you get an amuse Bouche (Dinner gets bread service). It was veggie soup and a croissant. The flavor of the soup was good coming from someone who hates veggies. Wish it was a little bigger portion. -Salmon was good. -Skip the sweet corn, it wasn't sweet and tasted more like can. -Truffle fries is our second favorite. Not too overpowering and pretty crunchy. I may not recommend this place for steak based on our first visit but worth the visit for other items on their menu. Will most likely come back some other time and try something else. Interested to try the 50/50 burger. What could go wrong with something made of 50% bacon :)”
“I was thoroughly impressed by both the variety and quality of the food. The restaurant boasts a cozy and rustic atmosphere, complemented by friendly and attentive staff. For my meal, I ordered the coconut shrimp, crispy chicken with rice and edamame, and honey bacon strips. The coconut shrimp was delightfully crunchy and sweet, served with a tangy pineapple sauce. The crispy chicken was tender and juicy, accompanied by a savory soy-ginger sauce and fluffy jasmine rice. The steamed edamame was lightly salted, making for a perfect snack. However, my favorite part was the honey bacon strips—thick-cut and glazed with honey, they offered a delightful blend of spicy and smoky flavors. Every bite of my meal was a delight, and I look forward to returning in the future.”
“My wife and I enjoy eating at fish's wild for few years now. We live at the Markham apartments and really say that it's been one of the biggest perks of living there is the proximity to the restaurant. The restaurant itself is not fancy and customer service is definitely above average but nothing too wow factor. But the food is really outstanding and the portion sizes last a while. I get the chicken katsu there which is a mountain of fried chicken cutlets and the sauce is great. The also always prepare my food in under 10 minutes and I would sometimes call and walk there (4 minute walk) and when I arrive the food is ready.The price is good relative to the portion and not to mention that you get two large sides for all the plate entres. My wife raves on their baramudi fish and gets it weekly. I highly encourage people that want tasty food for a good price and timely service.”
“Stopped by to pick up a few sandwiches since I’ve been craving banh mi. Staff was kind and welcoming and the inside was well kept and clean. Ordered the BBQ pork with everything and added a fried egg since that’s my go to. Bread was perfectly crunchy but not too hard that it hurts like mouth like some other places, and the flavors of the pickled vegetables and the pork were amazing! Definitely finished the whole sandwich and wanted more. Will be back next time to try the other varieties!”
“You can't get better than this. The place is super clean. Easy parking. Friendly lady at the counter. And the Gyro I ordered was the best I've ever had. AMAZING! I ordered the Super Gyro. Omg. So delicious!!! Added... Greek fries are wonderful! But my gyro on a Monday evening was dry... the meat also tasted left over/ not fresh... and crazy salty. Won't change my 5 star rating based on this, unless this happens again.Vegetarian options: Great falafel for vegetariansParking: Plenty of free parkingWheelchair accessibility: Yep... it is.”
“We had Hainan chicken with skin and fried chicken, both of them are good. Chicken is not dry and the sauces are great. Thai ginger soy sauce and ginger scallion sauce are my favorite. Would like to buy again.”
“To be honest it's a bit uncomfortable to navigate if you don't know Chinese (yes I know "Chinese" isnt just one singular spoken language) BUT I'll go through a million more awkward pointing and asking for misheard directions over the noise of dinner rush for the garlic eggplant and the mustard green stir fry. Which was described as bitter but I don't know why because it really isn't. King of edible leaves his majesty the mustard green.”
“We were there for Valentine's Day and the staff was very friendly.The food was very well made and the service was excellent.I had the gnocchi with cured ham. It was very good and the gnocchi were light and sort of rustic. Quite unique but it worked very well.”
“A award-winning local winery with 128 years of history and currently owned by two brothers. Excellent open space for picnic, and of course wines! It’s also just 16-30min away from Cupertino / San Jose by car.”

“Yum Yum Yum! My go-to place for New York City style pizza when I'm in the area. It's not easy to replicate the New York City style pizza and good places like this are really hard to find. They do an amazing job of making some of the best pizza around and just like what I used to eat all the time in the good old Big Apple. The "212" part of the name brought me here, and they've always lived up very well to their hype. Really nice people working there too. I make a point to stop by whenever I'm around. There is no substitute for New York Pizza when you're in the greater San Jose area!”
“Came for the weekend breakfast. Lv breakfast wrap was my favorite with yotiao wrapped in fried scallion pancake. The scallion pancake was fried well with a mochi like consistency. The yotiao would be better if crispier. Thought they could've added more sauce, I added the self serve hot sauce and special sauce which accentuated the yumminess. The turnip cake egg sandwich was good, turnip cake could be crispier too. The kurabuta bun was fine. Summing up, I'd come back for the scallion pancake wrap.”
“Nice, cozy environment in the restaurant. The food was great, and the service was fast. we had chicken satay, chicken money bags, Tom Kha soup, Pad kee mow, and fried ice cream.”
“Generally a great place for some decent fish dishes.Reasonably priced, tasty meals, convenient locations. Never had issues with the food or staff. Good kid meals too.Kid-friendliness: Great options for kids meals.”
“It's cozy here. The place is not too big. The noodle soup is very delicious. We got the spicy braised noodle soup. It's not spicy at all. The employees there are very considerate.”
“Very good Chinese restaurant! Sauerkraut and mutton vermicelli, beef burrito, tofu fish, and sizzling cumin lamb are my favorites!Very nice Chinese restaurant! Sauerkraut white meat pot, beef burrito, tofu fish are my favorites!”
“We've been to the Mountain view location but this was our first time in Cupertino. The venue is familiar but nicer. The fig burger was amazing not heavy on the fig jam or goat cheese...just right. The macaroni bites were spicy for me but so very good and crunchy. The margarita was perfect not sweet but tart, salt on the rim but not the entire rim. Can't wait to return for more of everything!!! We also tried the barrel cake... gonna be dreaming of that dessert for some time. Nice casual spot with a delicious menu. It won't disappoint.”
“My family and I have been going to this noodle restaurant for almost 5 years. The food has always been great, and the quality has never changed. My kids love the braised beef noodle soup and the fried peanut appetizer. The noodles are very chewy and pleasant to eat, and the soup is always flavorful and not too salty. The food is also priced very reasonably. Although, they only accept cash, but I don't find that too much of an issue because there is a Walgreens close by with an ATM. Overall, highly recommend.Kid-friendliness: The staff are very nice and friendly to kids, and there are many menu options that are not spicy and great for kids.”
“It's a family favorite. The fish quality is excellent for their sushi, and they have a lot of the traditional dishes. They make very good tempura as well, which is appreciated.Kid-friendliness: Very patient with children and babies.”
“So sad that we order from tablet these days and no communication between humans cab occure, but it is what it is, today i dined in, in a great restaurant, super clean and absleoutely fresh and tasty food.Parking: I dined in when it was slow during the week, so no problem for me.”
“We came for dinner on a Saturday and were seated right away, nice service. We got a lion king roll and the sashimi medium (20 pcs of sashimi). Both were delicious, and the sashimi was fresh and great quality. We especially enjoyed the salmon sashimi. Total bill was about $70 before tip, and I’d say for the quality it was definitely worth it. Less expensive than some of the lower quality sushi I’ve had in the Bay Area. We will be back again!”
“Local, small business Super affordable Duck wings yum!!!This to go meal I photoed made me want to come and try likewise plus thr wings and a drink with can't pronounce!Look at the photo! It was delicious I C will definitely return to support this family business! Chilli seed sauce to go for other Asian dishes I buy Like roast pork!!”
“I love that this is not a chain but a real Mom and Pop place. They still have a few outside tables and dogs are okay. Always a plus.Parking: During the week the parking is fine but weekends can be difficult to find a spot.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly.”
“The food was good, but the server did not provide the best instructions - probably because he assumed familiarity with the experience, which made my first experience suboptimal.”
“This Hubei native unilaterally declares that this is the best stinky tofu in the Bay Area! ! Other dishes are also very affordable, so order more!Best sticky tofu in Bay Area!! So authentic!”

Red Hot Wok
“Red Hot Wok offers a fiery dining experience with lightning-fast service. The restaurant buzzes with energy and the food arrives nice and hot.The flavors are enticing enough to warrant repeat visits. Whether you want a dish that is sweet, spicy, savory, vegetarian, or something new, this menu has something for you.The only downside is the slightly small space, but I would say it adds to the atmosphere. Worth the visit if you are in the area!”

“We tried the A2 Taiwanese chicken cutlet and A3 basil popcorn chicken. Both hit the spot and had a delightfully crunchy exterior which contrasted the flavorful, juicy chicken inside. I've been missing Taiwan and this fulfilled my craving for street food. I thought $12.28 was a bit pricey for the chicken cutlet, but they have large portions and cut it up in a box for you so it's easy to eat. I'll definitely be back for more.”
“Ox 9 is a classic chinese noodle restaurant that serves all types of noodles from soup based, to stir fried, with a variety of thin, thick, round, up to 6 different choices.The servers are pretty attentive and will always refill your water without asking and the food comes out pretty fast. Menu’s are via scanning from a QR code and is easy to order online. But you pay in person instead of doing it via onlinezPlenty of seats but there might be a wait at high times.Parking lot is also kinda small but the lot next door/ residential down the street has availability as a last resort.Would recommend if you need a noodle fix!”
“A award-winning local winery with 128 years of history and currently owned by two brothers. Excellent open space for picnic, and of course wines! It’s also just 16-30min away from Cupertino / San Jose by car.”
“This place is great! I feel like enjoyed it even more than the Santa Clara location?! I pretty much stick to the to the tonkatsu ramen (I prefer thin noodles), the broth is creamy and deeply flavorful, the charshu is delicious, I kind feel like I could take or leave the spinach but it’s nice and fresh. The crispy chicken (Karaage) is bomb.The ONLY reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because I’ve had mixed experiences picking up…insert minor rant: They follow some of the requests in the order, but often miss things I’ve paid extra for, last time it was corn and garlic, this time it was charshu and garlic. I caught the garlic and asked for one and the guy helping me first looked in my bag, then checked my receipt while saying “did you order garlic”, and didn’t apologize when he saw I had. I felt like he thought I was trying scam them, when they’re the ones that made the mistake. I asked if I could have 2, given that it’s free in the restaurant and I had missed out last time (though I didn’t mention that, didn’t seem necessary), but he refused. The missing charshu was just a bummer too. Neither are a huge deal, but just takes away from the experience a little, will stick to dining in going forward.”
“My family’s first time eating dumplings, and it was great the service here is quick and all the dumplings we tried especially the pork soup dumplings and chicken wontons in Chile oil were amazing. A great choice for families or first timers for dumplings.”
“Food was delicious. Especially the eggplant curry. And the gindara; not over salty. Freshest sashimi I've had in a while. Service was excellent and felt very comfortable. Will definitely be coming back.”
“I once knew a girl, we worked at South West YMCA camp, jeepers was it 1984? Fast forward to 2002 I randomly saw her in this bar and time hasn’t passed. We said our goodnight, but this a meet zone that has legs…it’s an older established neighborhood bar, a meeting zone. You should check it out. From my experience, there are a few ground rules, ready?Be good or be gone…No matter the size of your entourage, you don’t own this place, we are all transitioning throughout, so calm down.The deputy mayor of the town is at the end of the bar. The local doctor is at the bar, the local plumber that will fix all of your issues is at the bar, so tread lightly before you blow this place up with your outside view.Back to my original point of view, you don’t own this place with your ca$h, they own the history and you borrow it for a few hours. Be good or be gone.”

“I got the Kumquat Lemon tea 70% sweet, and it was very refreshing! We sat outside in front of the shop and enjoyed the nice weather. You can either order online by scanning a QR code or order at the kiosk. Very convenient if there is a long line.”
“I can't imagine how good these fish are. Someone told me these might be pre-cooked food in advance, but as long as they taste good and delicious, why not? Unbeatable price, I just hope the waiting line isn't always that long.”
“La Patisserie made my wedding cake. They were easy to work with and delivered a beautiful, delicious cake (chocolate cake with strawberries and cream filling). Our guests loved the cake, and our colleagues at work demolished the leftovers on Monday.”
“Everything is organized with technology. You can order your drinks at the kiosk and there's a different digital display board that tells what your order number is and how long the wait is. I ordered two drinks one strawberry milk tea with fruit gels and lemon premium green tea. I loved their service and delivery time. The ambience is hustling and bustling with a young crowd.”
“Pho combination:The pho here is very underwhelming. For the price you pay, you would expect it to be better. Looks nothing like their picture. The meat is good, but the broth is very fatty. I would pass on getting the pho here.Shaken Beef Garlic Noodle:The shaken beef garlic noodle is good here. It's probably one of the better dish. The meat is probably the best shaken beef I had. The garlic noodles is interesting.Service:There is no server. There are kiosk to order your food. The kiosk as for tips, which I gave for whoever has to bust our table. There was guy that brought us our food, which I wasnt expecting.Seating:There's inside and outside seating. Majority of the seats is metal.Parking:The restaurant shares with the plaza. Parking can get challenging during busy time.”
“Although there were no tables available when my party arrived around 6:45pm on a Sunday evening, they told us we could start getting our food in the meantime. Pretty cramped store. Not as many ingredients as I would've liked to see. Sauce bar was also very limited. I went with the beef bone broth base (mild spicy) with ingredients like udon, quail eggs, veggies, beef, etc. Beef was pretty good! I'm usually not the biggest mala fan but the mild spicy broth was pretty good. My parents thought the medium spicy beef bone broth was a good spice level, but too salty. They liked my mild spicy one better. Food comes out pretty quickly after you get it weighed and hand the bowl over to them to get it cooked. The food came out piping hot! Overall good option if you want a fun experience of building your own bowl. So if you're craving hot soup and want a fairly quick meal (assuming no wait), then this might be a good spot for you!”

“Great Taiwanese dim sum location, very delicious.Beef noodle soup ? - the handmade noodles were bouncy (in a good way) and the meat was tender. I liked the bits of tendon on the end.The XLB (A1 and A13) were great.Fairly large seating area, a variety of table sizes. I prefer the tables since the booths didn't look very comfortable. It was like sitting against the wall at 90 degrees (tho not everyone leans back).”

“Nice convenient stop to either meet a friend or just hang out by yourself and get some work done or even read a book. Very close by our two grocery stores and adjoining to it is a gas station which is convenient.”
“This stop was a 5-star review until I entered the restroom.The facility appeared very clean with only minor and recent messes visible when approaching the building.The service was fast and efficient and the employee was methodically polite.My burger was fresh and my curly fries were very good. Since I enjoy tiny and crunchy fries...all good as under the top pieces were all tiny, crispy pieces. Other customers may not like this as I do.The lobby was clean with only minor issues which were from very recent customers.My one issue was the restroom. It was sloppy and the sink was gross.I came here because there are no Jack In The Box restaurants from where I am from. I also chose here because I refuse to pay an 18% surcharge like at "The Counter" which is a burger place where a burger would be $25 plus.Overall, I enjoyed this visit and would return.”
“I love the services Jose and other staff provided when I visited the McDonald's restaurant this lunchtime. When I was leaving, the customer first, service first and hard working Jose opened the front door for other customers and me with a kind and smiley face. He made me feel at home. The hamburger I got was delicious and fresh. The French fries were crispy and yummy tummy.”

“We’ve been dining here for years and it’s our go-to AUTHENTIC Szechuan comfort food! Kathleen (owner) is SUPER FRIENDLY (completely customer oriented) and will do anything to make it right for you. Anything less than 5 stars is just not right so let her know if something doesn’t meet your expectations and give her an opportunity to delight you.”
“Although there were no tables available when my party arrived around 6:45pm on a Sunday evening, they told us we could start getting our food in the meantime. Pretty cramped store. Not as many ingredients as I would've liked to see. Sauce bar was also very limited. I went with the beef bone broth base (mild spicy) with ingredients like udon, quail eggs, veggies, beef, etc. Beef was pretty good! I'm usually not the biggest mala fan but the mild spicy broth was pretty good. My parents thought the medium spicy beef bone broth was a good spice level, but too salty. They liked my mild spicy one better. Food comes out pretty quickly after you get it weighed and hand the bowl over to them to get it cooked. The food came out piping hot! Overall good option if you want a fun experience of building your own bowl. So if you're craving hot soup and want a fairly quick meal (assuming no wait), then this might be a good spot for you!”
“I came here with my girlfriend for soondubu and dolsot bibimbap. It was pretty good, and there's a generous variety of side dishes. However, they give you plain white rice with your soondubu rather than the preferred purple rice. Also, they won't voluntarily refill your side dishes.”

“I've got to this place so many times at the service is always good. The prices are there, but the quality of the desert remains consistent. This place is definitely different compared to ice cream spots due to its unique factor of the cone. I have been to multiple locations and I have never been disappointed with the quality of the product.”
“I live near the Apple Park visitor center. I frequently walk my dog around the area because it is so inviting and clean. I occasionally pop into the visitor center to use the restroom and/or to check out the large apple diorama. I also like to check out the products when it is not crowded. Today, I went into the café to get a cup of coffee. The young man working in the café was very friendly, and helped me order my drink, because I did not have my reading glasses. When I was about to complete my order, I discovered that I could not pay in cash, and I did not have any other method to pay so I walked away, shaking my head because I really wanted the coffee. Shortly thereafter the young man who was helping me walked over to me and offered to give me the coffee for free. He clearly felt bad for me because I had the money to pay, but they did not accept cash. He was very polite and friendly. It made my day. Thank you APPLE cafe guy!!”
“Amazing taco spot that I visited located in the parking lot of the Shell gas station. Spoke with the nice lady who took my order and she mentioned they have been there for about 4 months now and I can’t believe I haven’t come sooner! Tried an assortment of their tacos: al pastor (they ask if you’d like pineapple on it), pollo, chorizo, as well as asada. My favorite was the pastor and chorizo as those are my go to’s but the pollo and asada were also delicious. Can’t wait to try their other menu items but wanted to start with the tacos to see how it went, until next time!”
“Shout out to Adeline! She made my drink perfect and placed my medium drink in a large cup because I wanted extra ice today. I love the vibe of this location. The baristas are always nice and chill. The drinks are always on point!”
“Pretty prompt service in seating & taking orders.Our food was tasty & flavorful, add the ginger scallion in oil to the bowl of noodles & it elevates the taste. The chilli oil is lethal - almost choke on it going down the wrong way. ?”
“Loved this place! Some of the best pizza I've ever had. This was my first visit so I wasn't sure what to order. Our cashier Isaac helped us to figure out what to order. His suggestion was perfect. The place was clean and inviting. Definitely will go ”
“We ordered black sugar matcha with boba and jasmine tea with oat milk. Black sugar matcha was amazing but Jasmine Tea felt like plain milk with lychee jelly. It felt very diluted.I will come back for more black sugar teas.There are 3 tables for 4 people each. It also has a green wall which would work nice for Insta pictures. Plenty places to park.”
“absolutely best staff in the food industry. top tier customer service, very hardworking and efficient, super nice and genuine people. i go here every day after school, my go to is the sabercat (chicken fried steak sandwich) on french bread no tomato add banana peppers. recommend to all new de anza students. and everyone in cupertino area. best ikes location (ive tried a lot, this one is better than downtown), best sandwich place.”
“I've been here a few times. For dine in and take out. Typically get the chicken pho, spring rolls or brisket phi. All are delicious. Generous portion. Quick service.Kid-friendliness: Family friendly place. Nothing specifically for kids but a casual enough environment that the little ones will be comfortable. Saw quite a few families with kids last time I went.”
“It was just a quick in and out. The store was packed with the after school crowd but the wait was very short. Despite the crowd the store was clean and the staff friendly. The frozen pineapple / passion fruit lemonade hit the spot on a hot day. The tartness and acidity of the pineapple nicely balanced the passion fruit Parking sucked”
“I searched something to eat on google and i founded this place. The food was amazing . Mariles gave me excellent service as soon as I entered the store, Mariam prepared the food for me and it was really delicious. Thanks for both for a great experience.”
“I was able to order their cakes online and pick them up without any issues or particular challenges. Overall a great experience. The fruitcake tasted fresh and delicious. They also have some nice selections in the store, their bread is very good.”
“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.”
“Best staff all of them. Great atmosphere. Just the best Peet’s in the area and i go to all the coffee places around yet this is a favorite thanks to their staff.”
“They offer tea tastings here where they teach you about the tea and how to brew it, ending with a complementary tasting session. Alisa was our server and she did an amazing job!”
“Happy lamb never disappoints. I usually go with all you can eat to try different veggies & meats. House spicy is our favorite broth of choice.Kid-friendliness: Complimentary soft serve”
“Came for the weekend breakfast. Lv breakfast wrap was my favorite with yotiao wrapped in fried scallion pancake. The scallion pancake was fried well with a mochi like consistency. The yotiao would be better if crispier. Thought they could've added more sauce, I added the self serve hot sauce and special sauce which accentuated the yumminess. The turnip cake egg sandwich was good, turnip cake could be crispier too. The kurabuta bun was fine. Summing up, I'd come back for the scallion pancake wrap.”
“We love this place! Love the customization, the speed of service and the cheesy fries! If you like hot plate asian food , fried rice, and tons of sauces, then this is a top spot in cupertino. I've done few bday dinners and everyone loves the concept.”
“Went out with my cousin and my husband to this awesome hot pot restaurant.Great selections for broth (my favorite in the Garlic Miso), and several types of protein to choose from in regular or large sizes. Preferably regular as they give a good portion.Vegetables are automatically given along with your choice of rice, mixed rice, or noodles.Also has starters like Edamame, takoyaki, etc to name a few.Overall, really enjoyed the experience, would love to come here again!”
“Generally a great place for some decent fish dishes.Reasonably priced, tasty meals, convenient locations. Never had issues with the food or staff. Good kid meals too.Kid-friendliness: Great options for kids meals.”
“It's cozy here. The place is not too big. The noodle soup is very delicious. We got the spicy braised noodle soup. It's not spicy at all. The employees there are very considerate.”

“Great dinning experience and the service was even better. Thank you to Chef Francisco and the very awesome service that is second to none from Steven and thank you to the manager Becky for her excellent staff.”
“We walked in for lunch on a Saturday and were seated immediately. The server was friendly, professional and quick. We ordered the Dragon Balls for appetizers which were warm and fresh to taste. For entrees, we got the Chicken Pan Dong, Glazed Duck and Duck Salad. All three tasted great. It was all a bit too pricey, hence the 4 stars.But we'll happily go back here again if we're ever in the area.”
“I just came to this restaurant with my family (9 people) we ordered a variety of dishes including the braised short rib, soup dumplings, color soup dumplings, lobster har gow, beef potstickers, quinoa and corn rice, soft shell crab, and char siu pork. All the food was excellent! I was really surprised by the quality of the food and the service based on the “mixed” reviews on here. I would definitely recommend coming to this place with large groups. The attention was spot on. They also provided hot tea consistently and checked in on us to see if we needed more drinks, water, etc.Would definitely come back here and hope more people are able to enjoy their food and service!”
“This is a great BJ's location. 10% discount for Apple employees, excluding specials, to be precise.Speaking of which, they have a spacious bar area with high tops and a communal table where you have to sit to get the happy hour deals. I would say the food options for happy hour aren't that delicious relative to most other items on the menu. But at least you get to try some things you normally would never be interested in ordering. In terms of drinks, I think their beers are the best.I went this week for pi day where they had personal pizzas for $3.14 as they do every year. However, this year you could pick one topping of your choice instead of it being cheese/pepperoni. And boy, do they have a great range of toppings, including anchovies AND sardines.We also did their ~$19 deal where you can get tri tip or half a rack of ribs with two sides and a pizzokies. Now I am not going to break down how much you save. But I will say that you can get a bowl of soup as a side; in fact you can get two bowls of soup as the 2 sides and the soups alone are $10+. So the cost of 2 sides potentially is already the price of the deals. Not to mention, the pizookies are $9.I tried the broccoli cheddar soup and they really filled the bowl to the brim. That was super rich and heavy. Then, I chose the turkey chili as my second side and I was full before even my entree came. I upgraded to the full rack of ribs and they were pretty tender and came with two onion rings which is a new thing.Our waiter was amazing although parts of our order were wrong. One of the machines for ringing up the order was right behind and judging by the loud conversation of the servers literally in my ears, I surmised we could have gotten a lot crankier servers who were pretty over it.One of the awful things about this place is that they are so bad with reservations. I called and the person who answered said they only take rezzies for 8. I told him you could make reservations for parties of 2 or more online but the system was down. He said he put me on the waitlist but didn't ask me for my name and number. I asked him if he needed it and he said "yeah I can take it down".When I AM able to make online reservations, they never mark me as showing up so they obviously don't have designated tables for people who reserve it. And what happens after is I get an accusatory email from OpenTable asking why I was a no-show. I will let you judge if there are slackers who work here.The parking lot here doesn't have enough spots for how many diners usually eat here and it gets really crowded.”
“I ordered the squid ink hot dog, which comes with half mozzarella, and was very tasty! I also got spicy mayo drizzled on top, which added another great dimension of flavor.”
“Upscale, fine-dine Indian fusion cuisine restaurant with great ambience and service.Jain options: Malai Broccoli, Paneer Makhani, Paneer Lazeez, Navratan Kurma and Dum Biryani.Desserts that are a must try: Deconstructed Falooda & Bubbling Kesar Pista Kulfi.Dietary restrictions: Jain Options available”
“We tried the A2 Taiwanese chicken cutlet and A3 basil popcorn chicken. Both hit the spot and had a delightfully crunchy exterior which contrasted the flavorful, juicy chicken inside. I've been missing Taiwan and this fulfilled my craving for street food. I thought $12.28 was a bit pricey for the chicken cutlet, but they have large portions and cut it up in a box for you so it's easy to eat. I'll definitely be back for more.”
“Udon was delicious, beef was cooked well, sauces were yummyKid-friendliness: The setup is a little difficult for kids. It's kind of intended for one tray per person and fitting multiple bowls on a tray is a little hard, but they have plenty of high chairs and space to use them, so overall it's good.”
“In the Pruneyard Shopping Center. Good pasta and salads. Prices are very reasonable. Nice wine selection. The decor is a bit sterile--it's begging for some plants or art on the walls. You check off the food items you want, bring your menu to the server, who orders your food and delivers it to the table when it's ready.”
“My family’s first time eating dumplings, and it was great the service here is quick and all the dumplings we tried especially the pork soup dumplings and chicken wontons in Chile oil were amazing. A great choice for families or first timers for dumplings.”
“Came here for their good variety chasen to buy and I ended up getting the chasen if suikaen! It is one of the cheapest ones in the store for $38. The person who gave me the chasen was super nice enough to explain how to wash and use it. I also got the matcha latte and the recipe is the exact same as the San Jose location, rich in matcha and creamy in dairy! It was super busy when I came here, but other than that, Izumi Matcha is by far my favorite matcha places to go to in the Bay Area!”
“They offer tea tastings here where they teach you about the tea and how to brew it, ending with a complementary tasting session. Alisa was our server and she did an amazing job!”
“This place deserves all stars! Starting from the friendly staff to the nice ambience, and most importantly the ethics of this place! The humanitarian causes they support 100 stars for that! I’d definitely come back!”
“I didn't know it was such a hot place. Surprisingly, there were so many people waiting in line. They had many types of coffee with unique flavors added. Because it was afternoon, I chose chai latte instead of coffee, but the London Fog with lavender and Tokyo Latte with strawberry flavor that my friends chose were really refreshing! I highly recommend you visit at least once.”
“The food was good, but the server did not provide the best instructions - probably because he assumed familiarity with the experience, which made my first experience suboptimal.”
“I've been a regular at Haidilao for quite some time now, and I can always rely on their impeccable service and delicious food. Abel, our server, deserves a special mention for being consistently attentive and on point with his service. Whether it's recommending dishes or ensuring everything is just right, Abel never disappoints. It’s like he reads my mind! The food here is always of consistent quality, making every visit a delightful experience. Highly recommended for anyone craving a fantastic dining experience!”
