“I missed the drop off day for donating for the animals in need. Stopped by there this morning with a donation. Loved the greeting with a smile that I received when I walked in by the young man behind the counter. he was totally surprised when I handed him an envelope and explained that I had missed the drop off date. Now I know why this Cafe receives 5 stars, very friendly atmosphere. I will be back!!“

“Great food and pet friendly.“

“Absolutely amazing experience! The atmosphere of the restaurant was cozy and inviting, and the staff were friendly and attentive.Mehmet makes the best pizza I've ever had! The crust is perfectly baked, the ingredients are always fresh, and the flavors are out of this world. You can tell he puts a lot of passion and skill into every pizza he makes. If you're a pizza lover, Mehmet's creations are a must-try, Highly recommend!"“

“WOW! Their food was SO delicious! Their pad see ew was so chewy and yummy, and the pad Thai was so flavorful too. The yellow curry was amazing too. The inside is super trendy and cute, lots of lights and flowers. The staff was so attentive, and the food came extremely fast. Highly recommend!!“

“Had lunch here yesterday while passing through the area, the mushroom pide was out of this world. The pastry/crust was unbelievably fresh and the flavor was delicious! Our server Umut was super friendly and attentive. Positive experience all around!“

“We stopped by on a busy Saturday evening and ordered the coconut breeze and the mango mochi coconut pudding. I like how both items taste fresh and not too sweet. The mango is ripe and sweet. The drink had a lot of textures and is well balanced.“

“The ambience is Japanese minimalist. Baristas are friendly. But more importantly the coffee is just perfect. My fave coffee spot in San Mateo. There's always a line though and if you want to sit in, good luck. It's a small place with not a lot of seating.“

“Good food and great customer service. Do recommend“

“This cozy restaurant has left the best impressions! Hospitable hosts, MeeSun is sweet and nice. Cheers to Chef Justin and team for all the delicious dishes like whole roasted dorade fish prepared on the Hearth paired with grill asparagus, roasted wild mushrooms. However, you must try the warm milk bread, big eye tuna sashimi, white sturgeon caviar toast, beautiful presentation, wide wine list, draft suds try hazy IPA and wonderful dessert all of them! We had well known guests enjoying their dinner next table over from us. Stephen Curry and his lovely wife Ayesha. I recommend to everyone!“

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

“Not sure why I missed this place, but it’s awesome! Had the Philly Yerba frita with Vegas feta. Flavorful with a little heat. Pretty messy bit it was delicious and what’s a good sandwich unless it’s all over your face??? Can’t wait to go back. The beans and rice were nice. The social fries were good! 10/10.“

“I really love this place! The food is just delectable and yummy! I recommend the combo appetizer plate and the combo meat plate for two people to share. It will allow you to sample everything and still be content. I wish one thing they did differently was double the pita bread serving for the appetizer plate. That’s the only con. The service is quick and friendly. The restaurant is very modern and airy.“

“GREAT SERVICE! They made me feel like family! The owner Carlos is such a nice and friendly man and the bar tender Gio was the sweetest gal! Everyone was so kind! And the food!!! 🤤🤤🤤 So good!! Like…memorable! Highly recommended! The desserts were just as good! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Delicious food, super friendly service. A little slower than a typical restaurant, but that’s because everything is made to order and not sitting around in a pan waiting to be served. The food was amazing, and so pretty!“

“Very Nice staff and very clean kitchen and they always treat ME LIKE FAMILY WHEN I COME IN. I recommend this place and its a great addition to our community. Love Teena“

“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.“

“Going in with little knowledge on this restaurant, we had a great culinary experience. Food was innovative and freshly prepared and service (Mariah) on point. The small plates menu, as explained by our server, allowed us to sample many different dishes. We sampled the Oysters, Warm Sesame Pancakes, Salad, Crudo, Yellowfin Tuna over rice and Pork Belly and Octopus. Most "mindblowing" were the Oysters topped with Meyer Lemon Foam.“

“Sushi was delicious and service was great! Not a romantic spot though because it’s loud but fun if your going with family and friends. Music is good!!“

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

“Ottimo cibo, servizio veloce, locale molto carino.“

“Great coffee, friendly service, good for plane spotting!“

“An absolute gem for anyone craving authentic and flavorful South Asian cuisine. The food is consistently delicious, and the atmosphere has a cozy, welcoming feel that makes you want to keep coming back.

Their Chapli Kabab is a standout—juicy, perfectly spiced, and cooked to perfection. Paired with their soft, fluffy plain naan, it’s a combo that hits the spot every time. You can tell they put real care into their recipes.

The service is friendly and efficient, even during busy hours. It gets packed, especially around lunch, but the food is always worth the wait.

Highly recommended for a casual meal that doesn’t compromise on taste.“

“Great! I love this place. So good.“

“The outdoor patio was perfect for our Sunday brunch and our 18th Anniversary. We’ve celebrated many occasions at All Spice and have always had a stellar experience with the staff and the food. Our table felt intimate — we were sharing a large space with four other tables, appropriately distanced. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Again, all Covid-19 compliant. The food, oh the food! The Dutch baby was perfectly cooked and the fruit fillings were gorgeous. The chicken sandwich was out of this world. The Mimosa and hard apple cider beverages were on point. We always love our meals at All Spice and this time was no exception. It’s a total gem!“

“My 1st stop and meal when I visit SF annually. I always look foward having a In n Out burger the war I like it“

“Loved the food
The personnel were super friendly
The food was ready fast
The space is super beautiful and nice
We got chicken Tikka masala with rice and garlic naan

It was super delicious the portions aren't that big
The naan is fresh and hot very soft

We also got the burger with masala fries
It was good but similar to regular fries

We also got the mango yogurt drink which was super tasty

All the food is halal and not very spicy
The portions aren't that big though.“

“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.“

“First time ordering a crunch cake! We got the 6” inch strawberry crunch cake and called in the order a day before to pick up. Parking is limited since it’s a residential street. When I arrived for pick up, they were just putting the brittle on. The cake is very unique, the strawberry crunch had brittle crumble all over the outside and in the inside are two moist cake and a thick layer of cream and fresh strawberries.The cake is not that sweet and taste amazing with the brittle crunch. Cutting it wasn’t that difficult, I wiped the knife each slice as instructed. I would order the mocha cake next time! This cake is $35, cash only.“

“Loved the outside setting, very quiet, no traffic or crowds of tourists.“

“Halal beef burgers, made to order, soft brioche buns, veggie options, yummy milkshakes! Definitely with be a place we frequent! Face friendly business, family owned and operated 👏🏼🇺🇸“

“Food: only ordered vegetarian food and everything was amazing. Falafel was probably the softest I have ever had so far and the mezze sampler was also quite good. I'll recommend starting off with sampler and ordering anything you like as a separate dip. Street fries were also good. They have unlimited tea and the mint lemonade was super refreshing.

Service: this place has minimal interaction with servers as every table has a QR code to order food and pay when you order.

Atmosphere: divided into 3 parts outdoor, indoor and patio. Indoors is bright with open kitchen and patio is dark with plants, string lights and heaters. Sat in patio and loved the vibe.“

“First time here. Really enjoyed the food and atmosphere.“

“Awesome brewery with absolutely delightful brews. Great live music events and super tasty food trucks and vendors. I love this place!“

“Music a little loud at times but overall great experience! Wait staff was attentive and super accommodating of all our various food preferences and allergies. Great vibe outside, good portions (moderate, not too much), delicious and choices of proteins were great.“

“Amazing food and excellent service!“

“Charming Italian cafe near downtown San Mateo. Tucked away next to a bus stop on the busy El Camino Real, it’s a nice reprieve from the street traffic where you can enjoy a good cup of coffee with solid Italian food. Street parking is very hard to find, but there’s a paid parking lot across the street.“

“Love love love. Fresh ingredients and healthy options that taste delicious. Had the tuna nori wrap which was good. Had better ones but this tasted good. Shout out to Hayes and Cesar for their warm hospitality. Hayes recommended the pineapple mint juice and gave me samples of others. Juice was refreshing and delish. Hayes hooked it up for 10% discount for first time customer which was super nice. Tipped it back and more of course. Cesar was super friendly and helpful, said they make their flat bread fresh daily made to order and that I should’ve tried that. Will next time. And he complimented me with a delicious chocolate fudge brownie which was yum! Nice chill ambiance, tall doors and ceiling which I liked—it allowed for plenty of fresh air to flow through. Glad I stopped by!“

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

“Cutie little dinner, the service was really amazing! I had chicken and waffle it was really delicious unfortunately the batter is a little sweet which I’m not a fan of. The country steak was yummy 😋 hot chocolate was perfect!
I can say that I would come back to try other things in the menu!“

“First time here and it was so good Had steak sandwich and chicken strips. Get the hot one I liked the best. Fries were awesome.
The staff was amazing by giving us the strips in different spices for our first time.
Beer choices were decent and I had the Double breaking bud from knee deep, was amazing.
Small place but have places to sit outside.
Definitely a place to come for games too. 3 TV's and you can sit at the at too.
We parked around the corner but small parking area.
We will definitely be back.“

“Everything was great. Waiters were friendly. Overall 5/5!“

“Great food an Service. Friendly staff and generous portions.“
