“In July of this year we celebrated our 60 th wedding anniversary by booking their side room.for a dinner party. Carlos , manager , was so helpful in planning menu and each guests could order thatvnite with everyone menu. We had choice of 2 salads, 5 entrees and 2 desserts. Our guests all raved about food and service. There was a table with appetizers for guests as they arrived and presented so nicely. Couldn’t have been happier and we were not charged for the room which several other places wanted to charge for just room. My daughter in law was able to go over that Saturday morning to decorate and put all flower arrangements in the tables. It looked amazing. Can’t say enough good things about the evening. Good service the best ‘“

“exceeded my expectations, beautifully done. Staff is gorgeous. And not bad looking either. These people knew what they were doing, love what they do, and it exudes through the food and experience.. I will be back a million times.“

“Lovely staff in a non-stuffy little restaurant. We ate outside, in front off the street. The tasting menu was excellent - inventive, delicious. The food came a bit fast, but as soon as I asked them to slow it down, pacing was excellent. Highly recommend. I would go back for that short rib yakiniku, the crispy pork belly, the char grilled sugar snap peas, and the bread!“

“Great! I love this place. So good.“

“First time here - my friend and I met in the area and decided to enter out of whim (we drove in 2hrs+ and Redwood is our meeting place). I had Matcha Hojicha latte and it's GOOD!! I was pleasantly surprised! I was able to adjust sweetness & ice, and dairy option available. Their drinks are crafted drinks and mine has many layered to it. I like that they used the matcha as a foam/topper. This is my new fave place. Too bad we don't have one in the area. @ Tong Sui - please open one in Livermore/Tracy/Brentwood area. This place doesn't accept cash but has online order and store pick up or use their kiosk. Tap pay or swipe are available here as well.“

“Zareen stands out as a unique and exceptional restaurant, particularly renowned for its delectable Indian and Pakistani cuisine. Their food is truly exceptional, offering a distinct departure from conventional Indian dishes. The restaurant’s unique taste sets it apart from the rest. Notably, their mango lassi is a popular beverage that is highly recommended for any visitor. The naan, especially the garlic naan, is particularly noteworthy for its exceptional flavor. The overall quality of the food at Zareen is consistently high, making it challenging for patrons to choose a dish that they will not enjoy. This highly recommended restaurant is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking authentic and flavorful Indian and Pakistani cuisine.“

“Best place for pastries and bread in town. Nothing fancy, just great pastries.“

“Amazing food and excellent service - highly recommend“

“An exceptional culinary experience at Protégé in Palo Alto. Every dish showcased masterful technique and impeccable flavors. The A5 Japanese Wagyu Ribeye was perfectly marbled and melted effortlessly, while the Crab and Caviar delivered a luxurious balance of brine and sweetness. The lobster toast was crisp, buttery, and indulgent, and the Black Bass—flawless in execution—was the best I’ve encountered. The Ricotta Dumplings , delicate yet deeply flavorful, rounded out an unforgettable meal. The shigoku oysters with whipped ponzu were indescribably fresh and flavorful. The sunflower Caesar, with its preserved tomato jam, was a unique and unforgettable twist on a classic. As for the brick chicken that we took to go, it was so delicious that it barely made it home before being devoured. The experience was elevated even further by the outstanding service—every person was kind, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to creating a memorable evening. A true showcase of precision, creativity, and hospitality“

“The Coco Peach Dream was absolutely delicious! The peach flavor was fresh, sweet, and refreshing, while the coconut added a smooth and creamy touch. I loved how well-balanced the flavors were—not too sweet or heavy. It’s such a perfect summer drink. I would definitely order it again next time!“

“Really enjoyed Nomadic Kitchen in San Mateo! They feature a streamlined menu focused on heavy-hitting entrees and appetizers, which makes ordering easy because everything they do, they do right.

The hummus plate is an absolute must-have. It features incredibly creamy, delicious hummus topped with vibrant cabbage and pomegranate seeds. It is surrounded by a beautiful ring of rich, colorful sauces, dips, and pickles that pair perfectly with the basket of warm, homemade bread.

For the main course, the chicken kebab was a total hit. The chicken breast cubes are perfectly charred and incredibly tender. What really sets Nomadic Kitchen over the top is their beautiful plating and generous side options. The entree comes out beautifully arranged on a sleek black platter, complete with a fresh salad topped with pickled cabbage, a side of seasoned bulgur wheat, and a side of fluffy white rice. Having both rice options on one plate is a fantastic touch.

If the weather is nice, I highly recommend sitting out on the patio area to enjoy the beautiful San Mateo sun. The service was completely solid, friendly and fairly quick, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality of food you get. I will definitely be back.“

“this place is actually so good 😻i got the fresh watermelon w grass jelly and it was sooo refreshing. you can actually taste the real watermelon and the grass jelly was rlly good too. not too sweet either which i liked. kathleen helped me at the counter and she was super nice and patient even tho i took forever deciding what i wanted 😭 she had good recs too. def one of my new fav boba spots, i’ll 100% be back“

“Mr Ralph Carico is the most skilled trader I've ever encountered, I will certainly advise everyone to utilize his service, He’s so wonderful Ralph Carico.“

“Absolutely exquisite food that comes out fresh. Service was amazing & the people even though busy were very very helpful. Can't recommend this place & food enough.“

“I had a wonderful dining experience. The food was delicious, fresh, and well prepared, and there were plenty of options to choose from. The dining staff were friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely recommend the dining service to other students.“

“We stopped into Allstar Burgers for the first time over the weekend. Thus us an older no frills building, but it seemed to be very well kept up. You order at the counter which the you man who took our order was very tentative and friendly. We sat at our table and the food was brought to us when ready. The Burgers we ordered were quite delicious. In our short time there we could see this was a very popular burger joint and it's easy to see why. The menu is no frills but everything you would expect at any local burger joint. We will be back.“

“Amazing food and excellent service!“

“Can’t believe I haven’t reviewed this amazing gem of a restaurant! It is fantastic in every way. Peaceful, clean, kind, generous, DELICIOUS. Worth a drive even!

They are going on vacation for the summer. Come in for happy hour before they leave for a month! They have beers for $2.50.“

“Chef Marcus’ dishes are full of flavor & fresh ingredients that make for a spectacular culinary experience. 😋“

“Very nice casual restaurant, that I visited while in Sunnyvale. I had the salmon, roasted potatoes, and asparagus. My food tasted fresh and flavorful. The atmosphere was clean and well lit. We will definitely come back when we are in town again.“

“Great place to have dinner, great service and the food is delish“

“Almost an hour drive totally worth it love the food highly recommended also great cheap prices compared to other places 💯❤️“

“Best vegan food in Palo Alto. I eat here as often as I can. FYI, it's cash only for smaller orders. Very highly recommended.“

“Fresh Angus beef from Harris Ranch, grilled to perfection.“

“Best Chinese food in town! Cant get enough, not a bad meal ever. The take out is never shorted, always not notch, and they provide ample utensils and napkins. This is one of many locations and each one is just as good as the other! Dont pass this place up!“

“Good food, clean restaurant, good service“

“Excellent, creative dishes! Good service!! 10 stars!!!“

“Amazing experience! I’ve eaten here three days in a row, and every visit has been fantastic. We had a small mix-up with our order today, but Ahmed was incredibly kind and went above and beyond to help us get everything sorted out. The customer service was outstanding, and the food was so good it was literally dance-worthy. Highly recommend!“

“The high reviews caught my eye. One thing to note is that the food though delicious was a bit too salty. We ordered like 7 dishes to share with 7 people family style but half of the dishes were just way too salty, even for my tastes when I personally enjoy heavily-salted foods. It could be a one-off but I also submitted this review for the free desserts (which is very nice and not too sweet).

Aside from that I would definitely give this restaurant a try again in the future if I hear that their salt levels were better balanced and accounted for.“

“friendly staff, monstrous upon great broth“

“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!“

“I stopped by this restaurant after a hike nearby. The food is easily the best American food I’ve ever had. The place is like a museum, filled with the owner’s personal collection and gifts that were so fun to watch. Really enjoyed my time there!“

“I've been wanting to go to this place for a while now. Everytime I search for a place with best coffee near my work, this always pops up. I finally had the pleasure of going here, and it wasn't too busy.
The person who took my order was super nice and helpful in narrowing down items to try. Everything here is made to order, so they do recommend using the app. Especially if you are in a hurry.
I ordered:

1. Vietnamese coffee with salted cream: Surprisingly, this was a little sweet to me. I do recommend sipping it, instead of drinking it through a straw to get the full flavor.

2. Croffle w/ nutella: This was crispy and chewy. The nutella gave it a messy yumminess

3. Egg, cheese, and bacon croissant: This was delicious and surprisingly it didn't have that greasy oily feeling. It is very hearty.

4. Perfect green smoothie: My co-worker loved this and found it very delicious. Perfect balance of all the items.

I look forward to coming back soon and will pre-order next time.“

“Wow! We had a wonderful breakfast here, tasty, calm, and great service. Not a bite was left on our plates.
Vegetarian omelette was great!
Waffles are just amazing…truly crispy on the outside and yum.
The star was the server, Erin. She was great with kids and very thoughtful.“

“I love Cuco’s!! All women staff. They do everything right.“

“Very tasty and reasonably priced food. The owner and chef Amir is an amazing guy who always makes you feel welcomed and is very dedicated towards his craft.“

“Food was fantastic! Covid has hit all restaurants hard and La Stanza was new to Menlo Park opening in January 2020. The owner / chef has his Italian cuisine dialed. The cesar salad was dressed to perfection served on a chilled plate w/shavings of Parmigiano Reggiano.. Delish! My short rib ravioli special was exactly what I was hoping for. Hand made in house pasta baked to perfection. My wife had the sacchettto vegi pasta pocket stuffed w/vegis . The red sauce had tremendous flavor... and perfect to mop up with the bread. 🤪... This place is a must try!“

“Elevated beer and pizza, and pinball to boot. Owners and staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Their pizza menu is solid, and they’re good with swapping out ingredients for vegans, etc.“

“Their tilapia fillet is excellent. Gyros is good. Best baklava. Staff are friendly, cordial, polite and professional. As soon as we walked in, they recognized us.“

“yo comiendo con un servicio para este cliente por sus seguidores y un servicio“

“Many promotions going on, they have eat for under $10 and I was more than full. Also they have a gift card deal and more discounts when leaving a review that I am taking advantage of! This place is very well priced and you can tell everything is fresh. I saw the girl cutting up all the vegetables from scratch. Very honorable place, really liked the kake, similar to miso soup in my opinion“

“This was my first visit to Mardini’s Deli, and it definitely won’t be my last! The customer service was outstanding—everyone was welcoming, friendly, and made me feel right at home. The sandwiches were fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. On top of that, the prices are very reasonable for the quality and generous portions you get. If you’re looking for great food, excellent service, and great value, I highly recommend Mardini’s Deli!“

“Everyone needs to come support this burger spot the food is delicious and the desserts, including the milkshakes are great. Very attentive employees. My family and I have never had a bad meal or a bad experience overall at this restaurant. This is not a chain restaurant but it's owned by a local business woman who is dedicated to her her?“

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