Restaurants in Foster City

“Warm and friendly spot. If the Rack of Lamb is offered… do not pass it up, it was a Culinary experience!”

“Some of the best hot pot I have had and the customer service was great”

“I have enjoyed the dine-in experience as well as the take-out at the end of an exhausting day. Thank you Chez Xue for the great quality of food and service you provide in FC. I have recommended this restaurant to everyone searching for an authentic, delicious Chinese meal, you guys are the best!”

“Great food. Good portions. Our server is very nice, friendly, polite and professional.”

“If you’re local you know where to go (here). I don’t know how this place can afford to keep operating with their portion sizes in this economy but, as a customer, I’m certainly not complaining. Good ole Chinese takeout classics, absolute INSANE portions, decent flavor. The entrance is on the south east side of the corner. Takeout only. If you’re only looking to order items from the hot bar, it’s faster if you walk in. Super super popular on Friday nights. I highly recommend the beef chow fun and eggplants. If you’re ordering online, don’t bother with the platforms—give them a ring and they’ll tell you the exact wait time.”

“Very good service, great food fair price”

“This is an interesting place, primarily known for their omakase (I think), but we came for the tsukemen. The tsukemen was tasty and presented with a dipping sauce warmer set up. I gotta say the egg was perfectly cooked, but I don't know if we really needed the bamboo shoots and mushrooms given the dipping setup.

The ambience is good and there is a unique water and condiment setup that makes it standout, although it also crowds the table a bit. Nevertheless, it's unique and adds to the charm of the place.

Service was great and we chatted a lot with the lady who was covering our table. She gave us a lot of background on the work they did to get the current menu in place and tweaks they are planning going forward.

Overall, this place was a refreshing change of pace. Tsukemen is not that common, the ambience is different, and the service was super engaging. I will definitely go back to check on the evolving menu. Highly recommended.”

“I been in a couple of locations within the San Mateo area, food is excellent, service is incredible,you can taste the fresh ingredients to make the food , I’ll give 10/10 to Nick The Greek”

“We got pizza to go from the Alpharetta location last night and it was AMAZING! Some of the best pizza I’ve ever had! Highly recommend. Incredible flavors, bold and delicious. Cannot recommend highly enough. We will definitely be back.”

“Absolutely awesome food!!!! My favourite Thai restaurant on the Sunshine Coast!!!! Delicious food!!!”

“this place's honey boba was surprisingly soft! as for the drink, pretty standard taste for what you pay for, but honestly the consistency of the tapioca boba blew me away. it doesn't have an oddly hard center like many other cheap-ish boba places, and for that i applaud tpumps!”

“ラーメンと言っているが、そばや焼き鳥など日本のメニューが複数ある。 日本で食べるような美味しさは無いが困った時やどうしても日本の味が恋しい時などは行ける。 まあ、悪くはないとおもいます。”

“I think they updated their menu which is great. There are lots of vegan option or menu you can turned into vegan.”

“Consistent, quick and delicious. I dined in restaurant when they first opened and the service was great. Since then I regularly order take out from here either for pick up or delivery. It’s always reliably good. My favorite is the MJ Roll, and the deluxe hand roll when I’m feeling like treating myself.”

“Delicious food and great service. We love many dishes from this restaurant”

“Crumbl cookies are famously large and incredibly sweet. While many of their flavors are enticing, I'd love to see some less sweet options introduced to balance the richness.

Peanut Butter Crisp featuring Butterfinger (4.5/5): This cookie delivered on its promise with a great peanut butter flavor and a satisfying crunch from the Butterfinger pieces. A truly enjoyable fusion.

Cake Batter (4/5): This was less a cookie and more a mini cake! The confetti cookie base was delightful, and the cream cheese-like frosting added a nice touch, but it was exceptionally sweet.”

“Sara’s cookies are amazing!!! Yum Yum Yum”

“Simply the best coffee! And teas. Great bites. Quick healthy meals. Service is friendly. Quality people and product. Consistent. It’s a favorite for a reason!! Check it out. (If you haven’t already!!)”

“I am so glad they opened this sandwich spot! I ordered 5 items for takeout and it came out to only $34. I got 2 veggie sandwiches on Dutch crunch. Best sandwiches in San Mateo County. I also tried their 2 dessert options. They have the bst carrot cake I have ever had! Their chocolate chip cookie tasted very rich. I had their veggie soup which was fresh and delicious. This place is my new go to spot. The location is a little awkward, but the inside is organized and clean. It only took 10 minutes to make my order. Definitely a satisfied customer!!!”

“Great find and will be back often … loved everything about this place”

“So good and satisfying ❤️ Ordered from DoorDash and arrived steaming hot! Ready to eat, yum. I think it was cooked by the grandpa of the family business. Rice and drink 10/10!”

“The staff here was very friendly and fun to deal with, especially the cashier.

The food was good, but nothing to write home about. Don’t get me wrong, the meats were cooked perfectly, juicy and delicious. But the bark, my favorite part of smoked barbecue, was lacking some flavor and pepperiness.

The portion sizes were pretty decent and they run on average with what a lot of barbecue places charge”

“I love the Thai salad, but decided to try it with grilled chicken instead of the delicious-but-carbo-loaded fried chicken. It was great! I actually liked it more. Could taste all the flavors. Nice job! I'll be back!”

“Greens are true and the range has a helpful computer system”

“I love their salads, especially with gard'in protein, really great vegetarian option, although I also liked the tofu option in the past (was also delicious.)”

“The Bistro - Eat. Drink. Connect. seamlessly combines a chic ambiance with a diverse menu, providing a delightful space for patrons to savor delicious cuisine, enjoy well-crafted drinks, and foster meaningful connections.”

“My go to place when I want yo have beef chow fan. This restaurant serve Hongkong style dishes. It is conveniently located next to grocery store. The restaurant is not that large but has plenty tables and if I am not mistaken almost have private room. It used to be very busy restaurant in the past.
I used to visit this restaurant very often in the past. In past couple years I only order to go and interestingly only beef chow fan. I like the way they cook it. I have try beef chow fan at many restaurant and this is one of my favorite. I also like their bbw pork and porridge. One thing I really want to try next is the salt and pepper porkchop. Looks like one of the popular dish.”

“When it comes to Mediterranean food, Falafel Tazah truly stands out. I've been a loyal customer at all of their locations for over ten years, and I can honestly say I've never had a bad meal. Their chicken and veggie kabobs are my go-to favorites, and their falafels, hands down the best I've ever had. Their food certainly lives up to the name with that unmistakable fresh taste every single time.

The restaurant is always spotless and impeccably maintained, which adds to the whole experience. The owner is genuinely one of the friendliest people you'll meet and goes out of his way to make sure every customer leaves happy.

Keep up the amazing work, Team Falafel Tazah!”

“It's a good shopping place especially when it comes of many/or bulk. The Price is very competitive than others Stores coz wholesale Prices is different & make u some Savings...”

“IHOP is a great spot for breakfast any time of day! The server was super friendly and attentive, and the restaurant was clean and welcoming. The food came out fresh, hot, and fast - pancakes were fluffy and buttery, eggs cooked perfectly, and portions were just right.”

“I had to go to the Richmond District today and I knew farmers market was happening. I told myself to just get a snack because I need to fit into a dress for the two holiday parties I'm going to on Thursday. Within 10ft of entering farmers market, I saw Kunugi Noodles's booth that had a picture of Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki. So naturally I didn't listen to myself and ordered one lol!The owner was working by himself so it was a wait. But the okonomiyaki was worth it, especially because Hiroshima-style is hard to find in the city.It wasn't exactly Hiroshima-style because the crepe batter was mixed with the cabbage and the egg was pre-made (a fried egg instead of it being shaped like a crepe). But working in an outdoor kitchen has limitations and cooking it that way was the way to do it in this situation. It was delicious nonetheless!The cabbage/crepe pancake is where the seafood was. There were pieces of shrimp and squid that gave it a chewiness against the softness of the crepe batter. The cabbage added a smokiness. The yakisoba noodles were yummy and maintained a slightly firm texture from being fried. I also liked the amount of Bonita flakes added. It was just right to add more seafood flavor.The owner was really nice! Even though he was clearly busy working on his own, we conversed a little on our travels to Japan.I know this page says his location is at a farmers market elsewhere and I don't know how often he's at Clement Street's farmers market. But wherever you go, if you see his booth, check it out!”

“This branch has the best service/ staff. After 12 hr of no power in our home, I asked for large/party size hot water. They handed me without asking or charging me on the Christmas day! I was willing to pay but they were understanding. Thank you for being amazing humans 🙏🏻”

“The best sandwich I've had in a very long time. Thank you for having such delicious gluten free sourdough bread. 😋”

“I was having a bad day and decided to stop over for something nice to improve the mood. Barista Jared was there for me. Asked few questions and listened to what I wanted. Smiled and somehow my day became better even before I tasted coffee. It is very nice to see baristas which do their jobs, including communication with sincerity and skill - very cutesy, very demure. Will come again.”

“FOOD 4.5
Ordered the Bun cha with pork and imperial rolls topped with crushed peanuts. Slivered cucumbers, bean sprouts and lettuce under the rice noodles. Nuoc Mam dipping sauce with shredded carrots served on the side. Plenty of pork brochettes and imperial rolls. Volume of food is significant, and I couldn’t finish it by myself. Very yummy.

Friend ordered beef pho. Soup is aromatic with lots of star anise and clove. Thin noodles. Yummy
