“My friend who hates Cajun food recommended it and it was worth the try. This place uses a dry rub seasoning so it’s not as saucy but it is very worth it. Came on a Tuesday and got 2 dozen of the $1.50 oysters and they were really fresh and delicious. Their lunch special is a good deal and service is really nice. It is a newer place on Cupertino Main Street so parking can be difficult depending on the day. I love how when you get the side of sausages it come with more than just 3-4 pieces unlike other Cajun places. Crawfish were big and you get a trash bucket for your shells. Overall it’s a good place to try if you’re in the area.”
“One of the best Kebab wrap sandwich I have had. Very clean healthy and tasty. Also a very nice Persian store.”

“We came here to celebrate my birthday, and we really enjoyed our dinner! The food was fresh and delicious, and the atmosphere was very pleasant. What especially stood out to me was how well the whole team worked together — everyone was attentive, organized, and genuinely welcoming. You could really feel the teamwork, and it made my birthday dinner even more enjoyable. Thank you for every employee for making the evening feel special. We’ll definitely be back!”

“This was a nice surprise because I do love the franchise. So when I came across this as we were walking through the shops, I had to stop. I always look at their swag, but they don’t have a lot in store. You can get more online. I thought it was odd that they had a hooded sweatshirt rather than a T-shirt during the summer, but maybe that’s popular in this area. I ordered a peanut butter cold brew, which was amazing. I think it’s a summer thing for a seasonal drink. It was very, very tasty. The restaurant itself for coffee shop that there be had seating inside and out, and this would be a place that I would frequent if I lived in the neighborhood.”
“Been here a couple of times to buy the drinks. Was here today for the K/DA collab, but I wanted to leave a review because it was my first time doing the tea tasting. It was fun to learn more about how the Lishan tea leaves are grown and made for tea. Thank you Nic for the enlightenment and kind hospitality!”

“Tasty Pizza is so good! I love pizza, and I love Indian food!
And having a combination of both of the foods that I love, is beyond wonderful..
The pizza I ordered was made just the way I asked and just the way I like it.
I've been searching for the perfect Pizza and now I have found it. The only thing extra that I can add is, that the gentleman that took my order, and made my pizza was amazing! Best pizza ever!
So if you love pizza and you love Indian food, you have got to make a trip to Tasty Pizza!”
“This bar is absolutely awesome! Thank you so much, Jordan—your cocktails and customer service were fantastic, and you truly made my night. I also really enjoyed chatting with the regular, J, who shared so many interesting things with me. This isn't just a great bar; it's an irreplaceable, special, and historic place.”
“These were the best noodles I’ve ever had! I ordered chicken with pumpkin puree and my husband had clear broth beef noodles, and both were amazing. Staff were very friendly. Everything was served in less than 15 minutes though it was lunch time. The only thing were the portions - they were huge even for my husband ) if they had options of ordering half a portion that would be perfect 👌🏻”
“I came here for the first time per ChatGPT's recommendation. As soon as I got here I was greeted by the staff and seated immediately. My server was kind and quickly brought me my order. Maybe after 10 minutes the food was delicious. You have to try the millionaire bacon. I recommend the original for your first time. I also got the two eggs with the Brussels potato mix, which was fantastic. Given the meal the food is reasonably priced and there was great service and a pleasant atmosphere”
“This is located next to the Cupertino Main Street complex. We've been coming here many years and I'm glad that it survived the pandemic.
The interior is spacious with many seatings available. This is one of the few places that offer pearl tea and dessert. Their honey toast is excellent and the gelato is good too. We don't see that many places that have black sesame gelato. We always get it during our visi in addition to the pearl tea drinks.
They have two kisoks for self ordering or you can also order at the counter. Drinks and dessert come out pretty fast.”
“One of the best Philz Coffee locations I’ve ever visited (including those in Chicago and LA). The baristas here were energetic and made my coffee just the way I wanted it—creamy and not too sweet.
The space here is just absolutely beautiful and well-managed. The indoors area is roomy for work, and the plaza that it’s in is perfect to walk around to enjoy the weather. I will return when I visit the Bay Area again!”
“idk what happened to this place, but it used to be my go-to place for niku udon (the best comfort food ♡). the udon had the perfect texture and cane with the perfect amount of melty, buttery beef with a comforting broth.
when i called recently, they said that they were only serving oxtail :(”
“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!”

“I’ve been coming to this place with my family for around 2 years now and it’s still my favorite. Their Liangpi dish is so delicious and I definitely recommend it. My favorite part about this noodle resturant is the rich flavor of the soups and sauces, it’s heavenly.”
“How do you translate an exceptional experience into words? Alexander is definitely elite group where the upper echelons of choice products brought to you with a lot of care and love. Perhaps the stars lined to produce a magical evening where those who served were just as happy as the recipients. Our party of seven ordered from every corner of the menu and shamelessly shared the food and the praises. Ultimately, you would select the place for the steak experience. I suggest a bit of preparation to know what you want ( the cut and the animal) and prepare to be wowed. Steak differs enormously in its texture and taste from the breed and the part of the animal. Apart from the top US beef, Australian and the blissful Wagyu are all featured. Ask for the specials and it was served in our case in a cloud of CO2 Cloud in a back. From the breads to the final desserts attention to the cloche service brings memories of a monarchy in the land of Democracy. Well done ( no pun intended) Alex!!!”
“It’s like walking into a neighbor’s home for dinner, quiet and cozy, and you naturally strike a conversation with people sitting next door. Food is nothing exceptional but tasted fresh. A bit pricy to my standards but I guess maybe that’s the norm nowadays in the Bay Area. 🤷”
“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.”
“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.”
“We used to order here pretty regularly because it's close to my grandpa's house and they have some standout dishes. But they are closed now! As of October 1st they are now a bbq meat restaurant unrelated to the old Chinese restaurant. The menu still exists online so hopefully someone can update it and other people won't have the same issue we did where we drove out there to get the food and they were out of business.”
“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”
“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!”
“Best service and value for Chinese dumplings around. (Pork flavor, chicken flavor, shrimp flavor, crab flavor etc) They are much cheaper than Ding Tai Fung but with great ambiance and food quality. Highly recommended!”
“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.”

“On a trip to NYC we tried Korean Corn Dogs and loved it and decided to check out Myungrang Hot Dog in Cupertino. We went on a Saturday around lunchtime. Parking was a bit of a challenge as it's located in an area with a lot of other shops. It's a relatively small shop with no indoor seating. My girls got the Potato Mozzarella. It was about a 10 minute wait for us to get our order. They passed on the sugar and dipping sauces and ate it plain. They both loved it and shared that they liked it better than the one they had in NYC. Overall my girls give this place 5 stars.”

“Hui Lau Shan in Cupertino is a classic Hong Kong-style dessert shop focused on fresh mango treats, specialty sweet soups, and traditional street-style snacks. Located right on Stevens Creek Boulevard, the interior has a clean, modern setup with bright lighting and comfortable seating that makes it a welcoming spot to drop in for a late-afternoon or evening sweet treat. Stacks of fresh mango boxes visible near the back immediately set high expectations for the quality of the fruit before you even step up to the counter to place your order.
The menu revolves almost entirely around fresh fruit, with mango taking center stage across various combinations of sago, coconut milk, and chewy mochi balls. The Pomelo & Mango with Sago was a standout dish during my visit, offering a great contrast between sweet mango, creamy coconut juice, and the slightly tart pop of fresh pomelo. Another favorite was the Mango Chewy Ball, which pairs cold sweet mango juice and fresh cut fruit with small, pillowy rice balls that add a satisfying texture to every bite.
Beyond the sweet bowl options, the hand-made snacks bring a nice variety to the experience. The mango mochi came out fresh with a soft, delicate outer layer wrapped around ripe mango chunks. If you want a savory break from all the sweetness, the spicy chili fish balls offer a springy texture with a solid kick of flavor that balances out the rich fruit desserts surprisingly well.
The ordering process at the counter was quick, and the service was prompt with food coming out shortly after sitting down. The dining space is kept clean and tidy, complete with thoughtful touches like wet wipes provided at the tables. It maintains a casual, low-pressure vibe whether you are stopping by for a quick drink like their iced lemon tea or sitting down with a group to share a few different bowls.
Overall, Hui Lau Shan delivers a vibrant and authentic Hong Kong dessert experience built on genuinely fresh fruit and well-balanced flavor combinations. The emphasis on real mangoes and chewy textures makes it a top choice when you want a refreshing alternative to standard ice cream or baked goods. It is the kind of place I would routinely pop into whenever I am in the area and craving a light, fruit-forward dessert.”

“The braised pork rice is the reason I’ll keep coming back. It’s seriously the best, and somehow the flavor hasn’t changed in 10 years. That consistency is so hard to find!
The three-cup chicken was pretty average, but honestly, I don’t really care. I’ll always come back for the braised pork rice”
“We tried the Kimchi Beef with Rice and the Garlic Beef with Rice. Between these two, the Kimchi Beef has a lot more flavor. The kimchi is, however, far too salty. Add the Garlic Shoyu sauce at the table to bring out the Garlic Beef dish. Otherwise, it's relatively plain. The pork katsu with curry sauce was fine, though not remarkable.”
“Power Cup Coffee is a small hidden gem inside the De Anza College campus on Stevens Creek Boulevard. It may take a little effort to find if you’re not familiar with the campus, but it’s worth checking out.
The coffee has a smooth, rich flavor, and you can tell there’s a lot of care put into making each drink. They also offer boba and other refreshing drinks, which gives you more choices than a typical small campus coffee stand. The prices are very reasonable, especially compared with many coffee shops in Cupertino.
The atmosphere is casual and relaxed, and the service is friendly and welcoming. It’s especially convenient for students and staff, but you don’t have to be connected to De Anza College to stop by.
A nice local alternative to the big coffee chains and a good place to grab an affordable, quality drink.”
“It's an alternative to Rooster and Rice which is basically the Thai style hainan chicken rice. What I like about Chicken Meets Rice is that it has more than one style of chicken in that it also has fried chicken but then tbh the whole point of these kind of food is the hainan chicken so I'd recommend the steamed chicken with chicken rice instead of the other stuff on the menu. Chicken is tender and flavorful and I prefer this style of hainan chicken over the Cantonese style.
This place also has other sauces (I love the spicy Singaporean sauce but it has a kick) in addition to the regular sauce.
You order through the kiosk and pick up at the other end of the counter.
This location is inside the small food court next to 99 Ranch and the food court is basically dying so I'm hoping it stays there. The noodle and the boba place pretty much died already. Service is good and courteous for a to go place.”
“Angie did an amazing job! I ordered a mocha, and it was genuinely one of the best drinks I’ve ever had at Starbucks. You could tell she made it with care and precision, and everything about it was perfect. Her attention to detail and great service really stood out. Angie is easily one of the best employees I’ve had the pleasure of being served by. Thank you for making my experience such a great one!”
“It’s hard to go wrong here, their most popular braised yellow chicken is solid and I enjoyed it a lot even with take out. It’s a good amount of food for the price!”
Cheap Eats
“I remember seeing many Ten Ren stores in Taiwan with a lot of fancy tea. I had the green milk tea with 50% sugar at this store and it definitely has stronger tea than any average milk tea store I have been to in the US. After a few sips I decided that I should have got higher sweetness level and came back to the store asking if they could kindly add more sugar to my milk tea. Glad they were kind enough to help me with that.”
“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.”
“Wonderful smoothies, I had the mango passion fruit one. It tastes really good and has the perfect balance. I got 50% which made it taste exceptional. The crystal boba tastes really good and adds a wonderful bite to it. The flavors really explode in my mouth. Highly recommend.”
“This coffee shop has a nice aesthetic and a comfortable seating area, but my experience was just average. The coffee was okay—not bad, but nothing particularly special either.
The menu had a decent variety, though some items felt slightly overpriced. Service was polite, but a bit slow during my visit.
It’s a decent place if you’re in the area, but I’m not sure I’d go out of my way to come back.”
“My wife loves the creme brulee matcha and I usually get the strawberry matcha yuzu. Both are solid choices and have strong matcha taste. They also have ice cream which is pretty good too. We come here often because it's good/strong matcha and the drinks are very flavorful. You can also get an extra matcha shot in the strawberry yuzu matcha for free 😏”
“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 wish I could give this place 10 stars! This place is literally the best donut shop I've ever been too, and it's probably because it's local, and unlike big companies like Krispy Kreme, they actually care about their food and drinks. I've been coming to this store since their opening, when the boba tea place before closed down, (called babo boba), and they bought that part of the building and opened their store for the first time. I've been here like a million times, as I used to have art classes in the academy in the same plaza, and I would always get a cup of boba tea and a donut afterwards. Their donuts are genuinely SO GOOD, especially the glazed donuts and the donut holes. Their boba tea is good as well, and the perfect amount of sweetness, and of course, they make it fresh right in front of you! The owners and workers are also so kind and friendly, as they always give me some freebies they think I'll like, like an extra mochi donut or donut hole. I'm so glad they've gained a lot if customers, as it was kinda empty in the beginning. :) I hope everyone can cone try this amazing place!
(P.S. I know I'm kinda glazing them(lol glazing) but they deserve it!!! They're one of the only donut shops I go to!)
(P.P.S Babo Boba closed down a while ago, and Rainbow Donuts & Boba took their place, so the reviews about Babo Boba are irrelevant, and not recent.)”
“My favorites are Bomb bread, black sesame pastry, coconut raisin loaf, sweet green bean mug, taro cake and strawberry shortcake. My little girl is the big fans of the Nutella wheel cake, strawberry shortcake bread and cranberry loaf. My hubby likes the milk bread and Vietnamese sandwiches. The twins (fries and chicken) and shave ice are very good too. Owners and staff are very nice and helpful. I always call ahead to reserve my favorites. Excellent customer service, fresh and tasty food, reasonable price. Highly recommended! 😊”
“Wonderfully authentic home cooking! Super friendly staff and we always come back for a warm meal whenever we are in town. Still trying to convince them to move to Washington state…!”

“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.”

“Fast and adequate service for a Sunday brunch at 11:30AM
Come around 11-11:30AM on weekends to avoid wait time.
Food was a bit pricy but this is Cupertino. Ordered a steamed fish which was very fresh.
The preserved egg and shredded pork porridge doesn’t have much pork and preserved eggs. One star off. Other food tasted fine.”
“This place served a decent meal. The portion sizes were a little small for taiwanese dishes. These dishes are supposed to be affordable and filling. Cold tofu noodle salad should not cost over 5 or 6 dollars for that serving size. The food was good & had some vegan options. I probably would not think of coming back because I can make something similar at home.”
“One of the best Philz Coffee locations I’ve ever visited (including those in Chicago and LA). The baristas here were energetic and made my coffee just the way I wanted it—creamy and not too sweet.

“If you’re a coconut person like me, this place is non-negotiable. Every single flavor delivers; rich, fresh, genuinely craveable. I’ve been slowly working my way through the menu and haven’t hit a miss yet. The staff are helpful and friendly. Can’t wait to come back and taste the rest!”
“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!”
“The food is fantastic ! They have that lovely burnt rice bottom that many places have lost. Plus, you can tell they didn’t use too much oil in their rice clay pot, which makes it a bit healthier. The soy sauce is a tad salty, though—usually, clay pot rice soy sauce should be a bit sweeter. Overall, it’s a great, clean spot to enjoy clay pot rice. The clay pot rice takes some time to make because it’s cooked from scratch, so we got our food about 15 minutes after ordering.
Staff are all friendly!!”
“Good place, I had never had food like this before. The service was really kind and effective. I really liked the service. The food was interesting. It was all a first for me. I'm native American european, I had not had quail eggs before, they were tasty little squishy orbs, I liked them. The tofu skin wrapped cilantro was different but tasty. Oh, they need proper hot sauce. I asked for it, they brought me Chilli flakes. Oh well, it was still tasty. The meat kebabs were good. It's pretty affordable. The place is clean and new, plastic cups were used. They give You tea candles under a plate to keep your food warm. The corn on a stick was a first and super yummy and savory. Parking is easy in the homestead lot. I love the potato tornado!”
“It was great now it isn’t. I ordered here almost every day. I noticed significant degradation in quality. Avocado smoothie and the durian mango frost are now just ice that melt quickly into an unpleasant drink, barely no avocado, no durian. I love this store and hope they can fix this problem.
Edit: Ordered last Friday and the quality improved. 5 stars for the prompt response from the store.”
