, the best, great food, quality service

“ribs and tri tip are delicious probably the best Mac and cheese I've had at any of the local barbecue spots the brussel sprouts are outstanding and I can't wait to have some of that carrot cake😋 don't forget da cheese and mashed potatoes!!!“

“Amazing food!! Hands down the best toasts in the entire Bay Area and great coffee too! We ordered avocado toast and salmon toast - both were delicious, extremely fresh and great presentation! Delicious juice too, although the consistency was more of a lemonade, but nevertheless very refreshing and yummy. They also have mimosas and champagne-based coctails, along with berry oats, as an alternative to a toast in the morning - both of which are definitely on my list to try next.

Also very cute ambience and views from the cafe - will be back to this place very often!“

“We shared the sampler platter and the food was very good. Everyone has their own preferences for the perfect barbecue and i thought the ribs were the best on the sampler. Thought the strips of brisket were good, but not great. My spouse liked the sausage. Overall I liked it. Tge service was excellent!“

“Peni and family cook with love and fresh ingredients from scratch. Flavors are amazing...and just the smell of Peni's BBQ gets your mouth watering. The bbq Chicken, the pulled pork, the ribs....if lucky they will have the Korean short ribs too!! Already planning our next trip back!“

“I’m so happy to have L and L back! There used to be one on Crescent Drive(a couple blocks away) and I was heartbroken when it shut down. I moved away for a while and imagine how awesome of a surprise it was to see my favorite Hawaiian BBQ spot has returned just before I moved back! ???
The employees are all super friendly, the food is always cooked to perfection, and the dining area is kept clean and tidy.
The only thing that would make this place better is if they would extend their hours on Friday/Saturday nights. A lot of other restaurants in the area close at 9pm on weeknights and 10pm on weekends so I was surprised/bummed to see that they close “early” in comparison.“

“Amazing food including the New York steak“

“So as soon as you walk in you're just immediately shoved back into the 1990s Chinese cafeteria style restaurant. The smell, the sound, the everything. It's perfection. It's cheap, and they pile the food on until it's overflowing. I ordered duck over rice with another plate of chow fan and short rib and pork gluten and it came out to less than $20!?!

I don't know how but they're a treasure and I hope they continue to make it. They've been only open for 2 months and did poorly the first few months because they accidentally labelled themselves as a tourist info zone and not a restaurant. Support them.“

“I'm confused by the lack of recent reviews.. i went here the other night because they were open til 11:45pm which is awesome cus i clock out at 11.. went with a safe order, some zhangzhou rice n a couple chx skewers.. this place is the real deal whoevers reading this, you can safely ignore the old shitty reviews. The food was just insanely good.. not a particularly complicated dish but its one of those.. anyone can do this but few have mastered it* 100% worth it to try this place out. Happy new year everyone ^_^,!,,!“

“Absolutely amazing. Had a family picnic. The food was excellent, everyone enjoyed everything. Quality & quantity was way beyond expectations. Delivery was smooth & right on time. I will definitely be using Slow Hand BBQ again. Thank you!“

“Ball-tip sandwich is soo good. Only reason I dinged the service is they can be really busy and the way the service works it can take a really long time to be served. But the food is worth the wait. I suggest calling your order in ahead of time.“

“Real, honest BBQ. I had the 2 meat combo with brisket, ribs, mac & cheese and potato salad. Best BBQ I have had since I was in Austin Texas! The owner was working hard with the rest of his employees and was the one to take my order. He seemed very nice and was helpful. I work within walking distance so I can see myself becoming a regular here. Canyons is an excellent addition to Castro Valley's food scene.“

“First visit, weeknight, not crowded. Food very good to excellent. Beet trio appetizer superb. Not clear if the 3 dipping sauces were for beets or brisket but good either way. Fiancee had wagyu burger, excellent. I had the combo plate…brisket a tad dry, fried chicken very good, corn bread muffin & cole slaw great. Extensive wine list, top labels. We shared a flight and each had a glass of bubbly. Portion size good … I had leftovers for breakfast. Server Jeff casual but on the ball with advice. Menu somewhat limited, especially for vegans.“

“First time eating here and it was FIRE!!! RIBS & BRISKET WAS SOOOOO GOOOOOOD the collar greens was one of the best I've had around here corn bread and hush puppies were also good. I would eat here once a week if I lived closer. GREAT JOB! I'LL BE BACK!“

“I’ve enjoyed visiting Sunrise Bistro for breakfast. The convenient parking and manageable wait times make it a hassle-free spot for breakfast or brunch. I’ve tried a few dishes, like the carnitas and eggs, but my favorite by far is the smoked brisket and hash, which has become my go-to order. The only area for improvement would be the coffee. Better quality coffee and fresh creamer would really elevate the breakfast experience. Overall, it’s a nice place to dine in for breakfast or brunch.“

“Top notch Texas BBQ, had the brisket, pulled pork, spare ribs, pit beans and a banana pudding. All 5 stars. Meat was juicy and flavorful, ribs falling off the bone, the beans were a really great al dente texture. Yes there is a line, it’s a brand new spot from a well known pit master - there should be a line. Go early if you want something specific!“

“Let me be clear my friends, my Mama, now 90 years old can cook and bake. She can make a kitchen sing the gospel, but now retired from the kitchen.
Please listen to me when I say this y'all, Cherie's Southern Kitchen can throw down!!! I called my Mama and told her about Cherie, her cooking is that good, no joke. We had the oxtail dinner and catfish dinner, peach cobbler and banana puttin. I closed my eyes and thought I was at home in Mama's kitchen. Family y'all, just like at home. I am going back for more!“

“Amazing value for your money. Order the bbq sandwich. Frankly it's huge - enough for two people. Lots of meat, onions, cheese.Their sides are ok, nothing to write home about. Cole slaw was decent, a bit too sweet.Wish they offered alcohol.“

“I was jonesing for a plate lunch and this did really fit the bill. The pretty enormous amount of kalua pork had just the right amount of salt, and was smoky. There was not too much cabbage, which was a nice change from places that mix in a lot of cabbage to lower costs. I was actually wanting a bit more cabbage. The steamed veg was about 2 bites of broccoli.

I also ordered the malasadas and, while they aren't Leonard's quality, definitely scratched that itch. They were put in the box hot and the clerk wisely punched a good sized hole in it to let the steam out. They're about the size of lime and decently fluffy inside, a bit of crispness outside, cooked the right amount.

Will definitely come again!“

“We ordered this Korean feast for delivery via DoorDash, and it didn’t disappoint!

1. Banchan: A vibrant lineup of kimchi and pickled delights—tangy, spicy, and crunchy.
2. Grilled Short Ribs (Galbi): Sweet, smoky, and tender with a perfect char. Melt-in-your-mouth goodness.
3. Japchae: Light, glassy noodles with a savory-sweet kick and crunchy veggies—comfort in a bite.
4. Seafood Pancake (Haemul Pajeon): Crispy edges, seafood-packed, and perfect for dunking in a tangy dip.

A delicious delivery that hit all the right notes!“

“The food was served fresh and quickly, even on a busy day, which was impressive. The staff demonstrated exceptional professionalism and efficiency, making the dining experience smooth and enjoyable. It's always great to see such dedication to quality and customer satisfaction.“

“It’s all good very good barbecue sauce so tasty“

“This Hawaiian restaurant exceeded all my expectations! The service was fast, friendly, and made us feel like ohana. The menu offered a great selection, and everything we ordered was delicious. The luau-style ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender, and the coconut shrimp had the perfect crunch with a hint of sweetness. The ambiance was magical, with soft lighting, Polynesian decor, and just the right amount of island music to set the mood. Whether you’re looking for a romantic dinner, a family outing, or a casual night out, this spot is perfect. Can’t wait to return!“

“First time here and I was surprised at how much I LOVED the pulled pork. It was nice and crispy, just how I like it! Both the mild and spicy sauces are delicious. My husband also enjoyed the ribs and jalapeño stuffed sausage. Service was quick and very friendly.“

“‘Ono grinds at a great price 🍹“

“This was my first time trying Korean food, and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed. The kimchi had a delightful spice to it with a well-balanced flavor that wasn’t overwhelming—perfect for first-timers. Personally, I enjoy a bit of a kick in my kimchi, and this one delivered just enough heat while remaining savory.

I ordered the beef short ribs, and my wife opted for the beef fried rice. From the moment the food arrived, the aroma was incredible. The short ribs were flavorful and aromatic, but I felt the texture could have been improved. They were slightly chewy, and for short ribs, I prefer them to be more tender and easier to eat. For that reason, I’d give them a 3.5 out of 5. While the tenderness could have been better, the taste and presentation were still on point.

My wife’s beef fried rice, on the other hand, was outstanding. I have to admit—it was the highlight of our meal. If you visit this spot, I highly recommend trying the fried rice. It was hands down the best I’ve had, and the fried egg on top was a nice touch. I’d rate it a solid 4.5 out of 5. My only suggestion would be to make the egg yolk slightly runnier, which could add an extra layer of umami. Even so, it was absolutely delicious.

As you can see in the photos (taken a bit late into the meal), the food looked fantastic even after we started digging in. The portions are generous—enough to share, though not quite family-style. For our meal, we spent about $30-$40 per person, which felt slightly on the pricier side. Fortunately, our son just snacked on our plates, so we didn’t need to order a separate dish for him.

Overall, this was a wonderful spot for lunch. The food was flavorful, the portions were satisfying, and the experience was enjoyable. I’ll definitely be coming back again!“

“Are you Team Hot Pot OR Team Dry Pot? If I can't have both, then I'm prob Team Dry Pot when it comes to malatang! For those who love building their own bowls, you have to bookmark this place! The concept is fun and simple. Grab a bowl, fill it with ingredients you want, weigh it (they charge by weight), then let the cashier know your pot preference (soup or dry) and spice levels.

The spice levels are serious here, so be ready to break a sweat. They have a little sauce bar too which adds a nice touch to both types of bowls. Pricing is fair here, especially if you get mostly meat, and I definitely had enough leftovers for another meal to take back.“

“Make sure to come and dine in at Toto’s Grill in Hayward! It definitely bring satisfaction to your cravings. When we miss filo food this place is the real deal. Can’t fault it from decors to little details, every food they serve is exquisite to our taste! Highly recommended *****“

“I enjoy the chicken 🐔 and Rice“

“Everything here is delicious ! I’ve returned many times and will continue coming here! Give it a try! You won’t be sorry! Also, the portions are humongous! Nowadays when prices everywhere are high, the Hawaiian Drive In definitely gives you your money’s worth!“

“Since moving out to San ramon, my family & I tried finding a local decent Korean restaurant! Been eating @ Young Dong for years now, it’s probably the best Korean food in the area (besides east bay- hayward/oakland)!

Attentive staff & quick service every time. Usually 2-3 women waitressing. The actual restaurant is simple, basic tables & chairs. Nothing fancy, But always clean. Working one person bathrooms. They have highchairs for the babies. And booster seats. Chopsticks and forks.

My favorite meat is Kalbi & Bulgogi…. Always get kimchee pancake to start. They have a delicious iced cold sweet rice drink with little pieces of rice at the bottom which I order every time.

Pretty decent side dishes…. We always ask for more honey potatoes and bean sprouts though. The radish soup hits the spot also… okay I’m getting hungry for Korean food writing this now… Lol

Go visit!“

“We planned to go shopping at CVS and happened to find this store. It was unexpectedly delicious. The bulgogi meat tasted very good and the portion was large, but it was a bit sweet. The bibimbap was delicious and tasted good, and the rice also tasted good. Some side dishes were also given, which is worth trying if you happen to be nearby.“

“They’re on my top 3 places to get a good hamburger. I love their sauces selection, hard to pick one with your side of fries! ?

I have tried most of their menu and everything has been really good in flavor. They are great at getting your food quickly ?“

“Fish Sandwich 10/10 🐟 with 🍟!!! Unbelievable

Kind of hole in the wall, but food is always on point cooked perfectly. Seems like a family business with a cute hottie with attitude running the register always.

Highly recommend all the rice platters. 🍚 Spam rolls and specials. 👌

If you don't mind the decor, the food is well worth it!!“

“I enjoyed my Hawaiian BBQ. Customer was Great! The Restaurant very clean including the Restroom! I've been here at least 4 to 3 times a month! Enjoyed it!!!!“
