50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Cupertino

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

“Good service was good, and very helpful. Accidentally mixed up my food but were willing to remake it.“

“We were on the waitlist for a nearby restaurant and wanted something to drink while we waited, so we were excited to find Ume in the same plaza!

I had the Coco Mango, which comes with fresh mango, pomelo pulp, coconut milk, and sago pearls. It was fruity, refreshing, and balanced, not overly sweet because of the pomelo pulp! Highly recommended!“

“Such a cozy little gem in San Jose. The coffee was rich and smooth, and the vibe was super chill😊“

“The service is awesome and the food is really good!“

“I had a great time over there. Delicious food 🥘“

“Sitting is good and power outlet are available if one needs to work on a laptop.

Do need to arrive early at times as it can get crowded. At those rimes parking can be an issue.

Prices for some drinks appear lower than at other locations.“

“Absolutely loved this place. The California croissants was fresh perfectly cooked and delicious. I paired with their pistachio latte which was perfectly balanced, creamy, and full of flavor. Service was friendly. I would definitely recommend this 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 👌🏻“

“Love this place good place to eat“

“Great local winery in an excellent location for making fine wines“

“Just a little hole in the wall but menu is terrific. I almost always order the Havasu Salad; it’s huge and I have to remember to dig way down for the black beans.“

“Friendly staff, beautiful grounds, delicious Cabernets.“

“Stopped by yesterday with my kid, and we had a really nice experience. The restaurant is beautiful, very clean, and has a welcoming atmosphere.

We ordered the Morning Thai Cioppino and the Pimped Up Ramyun, and both were excellent. The Morning Thai Cioppino had a bold, authentic tom yum flavor with just the right balance of spice and tanginess.

The Pimped Up Ramyun was a pleasant surprise. It definitely gave me instant ramen vibes, but in the best way possible. It was comforting, flavorful, and clearly made with much better ingredients than your average cup of ramen.

The service was friendly, the food came out quickly, and everything tasted fresh. We’ll definitely be back to try more dishes. Highly recommend checking this place out!“

“I have tried the tea and it's one of the kind, price is so reasonable for a large size, you need to try when you are around the area, words can't describe until you have tasted the tea and judge for yourself.... highly recommended.“

“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.“

“avocado toast and latte with oat milk ... the coffee is great!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Always love the services there!
I m a fan of all their seasonal coffees and even the recent matcha drink
Yet today I was so excited to try the new apple cinnamon drink since I would brew hot apple cider with spices at home during winter time Unfortunately I dumped the rest of drink - just tasted off, sorry“

“Been here twice and it's been great both times! Pink Guava matcha was so unique. Didn't realize guava could go well with matcha. Tried ice cream today and the flavors are so unique! Service is great too, very patient and friendly. Store is clean and tidy“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great foood. Great service. Will go back. First time visit.“

“First time here. The burgers were amazing!“

“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.“

“a nice casual bar and restaurant. the food is delicious and the service is good.“

“Alexander Steakhouse somehow managed to make an already beautiful restaurant even more stunning. Their recent renovation is absolutely gorgeous and gives the restaurant a sophisticated, elegant, and sexy atmosphere that every high-end steakhouse should have. The black leather seating, gorgeous crystal chandeliers, and the grand piano in the center of the dining room create such a luxurious ambiance. The redesign feels modern while still maintaining the warm, upscale feel that Alexander Steakhouse is known for.

My husband and I were just here two weeks ago celebrating our anniversary, so we couldn't wait to come back after the renovation reopened and it definitely did not disappoint.

The food was outstanding, just as we remembered. We ordered two filet mignons, the Hamachi Shots, several sides, and dessert, and every single dish was beautifully prepared and absolutely delicious. Alexander Steakhouse continues to deliver both quality and consistency every time we visit.

A special thank you to our server, Jesus, who was exceptional. He was attentive, friendly, knowledgeable, and made our dining experience even more enjoyable without ever making us feel rushed.

From the gorgeous new look to the consistently amazing food and excellent service, Alexander Steakhouse continues to be one of our favorite special occasion restaurants. We had another wonderful evening and are already looking forward to our next visit.

Highly recommended!“

“A total gem! A beautifully designed space with great food and genuinely thoughtful service! Highly recommend!“

“i love fantasia! ever since my childhood spot closed in Rivermark, I've been coming to the Cupertino location. the staff are helpful and the environment is very soothing and relaxing to study at. they use better ingredients than a lot of boba shops nowadays and still keeps a comfortable, clean cafe vibe. always choose Fantasia! I enjoy ordering the Thai tea with pearls with 25% sweetener and a little bit of black tea. Their fruit teas are also very good for a refreshing drink“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Amazing stuff amazing people … I just visited once and now I’m hooked !!! And some great conversations on Cambodia and miniature Japanese lucky cats !!! Amazing breakfast sandwiches and delectable coffee, all
made with love,care and a lot of focus on freshness .“

“The most delicious quick service food I have ever had. I am from the South, and this chicken stands up! I have been there twice this week. The salad was amazing and huge! The second time I tried tenders and brussel sprouts. Spot on! Best brussels around.“

“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.“

“a nice casual bar and restaurant. the food is delicious and the service is good.“

“A Canadian company I've been contracting with on a big event in Sunnyvale the past 2 years has held a dinner for all the employees and contractors at XLB Kitchen on one of our last nights together. We reserve the entire outdoor patio seating for our party and are treated to the most wonderful family-style meal! I learned last year to pace myself when they start bringing out the first couple of courses as the portions are huge and you'll want to try everything! Service is top notch, too!

My favorite dish is the marinated pork. OMG! Absolutely the best pork I have eaten in my life at any restaurant or cooked at home! Incredibly tender. Incredibly tasty. If you eat pork, you HAVE to try it!“

“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“

“Somisomi is a dessert shop that focuses on the combination of freshly made taiyaki and soft serve, creating a dessert experience that feels both nostalgic and modern. The concept is simple but works well: warm fish-shaped waffle cones filled with different flavors paired with creamy soft serve and toppings. The space is casual and easygoing, making it a fun stop for a quick dessert rather than a place you would spend a long time sitting.

The taiyaki is the main highlight and gives the desserts their signature appeal. The outside has a light crispness while the inside stays soft, creating a nice contrast with the cold soft serve. The fillings offer a good mix of classic and creative options, with red bean, custard, black sesame, and Nutella being some of the popular choices. The red bean keeps things traditional with a mild sweetness, while the black sesame adds a nuttier flavor that pairs especially well with the waffle texture. Nutella works well if you prefer something richer and more dessert-like.

The soft serve is what brings everything together, with flavors like matcha and ube standing out. The matcha has a noticeable tea flavor without becoming too intense, and the ube adds a sweeter, more dessert-focused option. Adding toppings like cookies or cereal gives the dessert extra texture and makes each order feel more customizable. The combination of warm taiyaki, cold soft serve, and different fillings is what makes Somisomi different from a typical ice cream stop.

Service is usually quick, which fits the style of the shop since most people come in for a treat on the go. The menu is straightforward, but there are enough combinations to make repeat visits interesting. Overall, Somisomi is a fun dessert spot that does a great job with a simple concept, especially if you enjoy Asian-inspired desserts and want something that balances warm, crispy, creamy, and sweet in one order.“

“edamame is bomb and so delicious. and service is the best“

“My hubby and I go here quite often for lunch and just love it. We like to eat outside and enjoy the view. Everything we've tried on the menu was delicious.“

“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. 🤷“

“Smoothie is great. I got their strawberry avocado smoothie and it was great. It taste like they use real fruit and the yogurt adds a nice tartness. It is not too sweet.

But it took an hour to make because there’s so many people in the store and they have so many orders. You can also order online. You don’t need to order at the kiosk in the store. So I would recommend ordering ahead of time and then picking up when your order is ready.

There’s also 99 ranch nearby so it’s nice to go there and do grocery shopping while waiting for your order.

Parking is a little limited. The a lot is small. But people move in and out quickly, so I managed to park. If not, there’s a 99 Ranch nearby with a bigger parking lot.“

“The food was very good, although I was disappointed in the signature chicken rice. The chicken was the least exciting of anything on my plate - the sides were excellent. The chicken wasn't very flavorful and I've had many versions of chicken rice for comparison.
My son loved his brined lamb! That might be worth returning for.
Service was poor because my husband and son were almost finished eating before I got my chicken rice.
**Many gluten free options available!!“

“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“

“Excelente servicio de lo mejor esta muy deliciosa 🍕“

“A lot of sushi varieties especially during dinner time. Hygienic. Water service is via a robot. Some staff members chit chat with one another a lot more than to customers. Don't feel obliged to tip anything over 15% (even 10% may be too much), staff members servicing the tables barely do anything, except to get you seated, bringing over extra wasabi, and busing the tables after you're done. Almost everything is automated, even getting water and your refills.“

“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.“
