Restaurants in Foster City

“Went there craving for sushi and omakase experience, and this place did not disappoint!

Each dish was creative, thoughtful, well-presented, and very delicious. The chefs explained each dish in details and made the experience interactive, which I really liked. We learned a lot about the different ingredients, why they were selected, and how they prepared them. Not typical in omakase places where they would just mention the fish and moved on.

The service was also top-notched, well-prepared, and friendly, which makes the atmosphere is cozy and relaxing. I just wish they play some musics in the background.

Note that their sake flights come with free one refill. So you would get 6 instead of 3 for the price. I thought this was a bit strange. Not sure why they didn’t just price for one portion, but we finished the double portions anyways haha. They have good sake selection!

I would highly recommend for special occasions or if you are simply into creative dishes. They rotate their menus every month or so. I would love to see lunch menus so I can enjoy it more regularly.”

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

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

“Great pizza place with awesome people working there.

I had a curry chicken masala pizza and a mango lassi to go late at night and was on my way back to my car. When I put the mango lassi on top of my car to grab my keys, it fell off and splashed into myself and my car. I would’ve just shrugged it off and left it to bad luck but someone, the owner I presume, saw me out in the parking lot as it happened and offered me another one for free. He even offered me a towel to clean up after myself and my car!

I denied it as I had my own towels in the car but he still continued to ask if I was sure. What else can I say except the people working here are absolutely exceptional and I would be happy to come back just for the service alone.”

“Very good service, great food fair price”

“Good eats for lunch or dinner. There ready to serve you.

Parking: A whole lot of other things and a store.

Kid-friendliness: Good

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes”

“I come here many times, it was always nice food but this time disappointed. Shawarma wasnt tazah( fresh) maybe from the previous day and too much white sauce in it. I got only 3 bites. I gave u 5 star this time coz l loved their food before.”

“Friendly staff, clean store and amazing food. My favorite items are the cilantro beef, boiling hot fish fillets and beef burrito.

However, the best part about this restaurant is actually its marketing emails. The author of those emails has some serious comedic talents and they’re guaranteed to make you laugh. Those emails make me want to come back.”

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

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

“I just want to take a minute to thank you for,yet again, an amazing meal. Your food is simply fantastic. I have only had 4 or 5 meals from you so far but every single one has been just SO GOOD. I can’t wait for whatever I try next. When you have a few things you have never had before and every one is amazing it makes me want to try everything else you make. So fresh. Amazing flavours. Incredible tastes. Sensational! Congratulations!!”

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

“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!!!”

“I cannot believe I haven't reviewed this place before! I have been here many, many times. I love this place. I remember bringing my kids here when they were young, loved coming here for breakfast foods, but also for lunch or dinner. The food is always consistently good, and there's something on the menu for everyone. Sometimes it can get crowded, But the service always remains friendly. This is a place to go to when you want comfort food.”

“Incredible experience...food was too good..we ordered Greek delight, pesto wrap, fresh juice. They were ready to customize our every order without any extra charges. Staff was super friendly. Food was ”

“I love crumbl cookie so so much. I received my cookies within minutes. Amazing service. The cookies are to die for! 100% would recommend.

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

“Great food every time!! Today we ordered gongura chicken biryani and wow!!! Keep up the good work, so glad you guys are in FC!”

“Eventhough there is always a line, we love going to this boba place for it's wide selection of flavors, options and toppings/boba. I think this is the only boba place in the area that has non-caffienated tea and mini popping boba that most lil kids enjoy. The service is also good despite the line.”

“Great sushi at a fair price. The presentation and service are amazing! The restaurant is very clean and has a lot of window line which makes for a pleasant dining experience.”

“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。”

“Had my favorite Sourdough Double Cheeder Cheese with Grilled Onions Patty Melt. I don't order this often. It was a special treat kind of day. For my side, I ordered the Sweet Potato Fries. Best meal combo, patty melt, SP fries, with cold Iced tea. ?, ?,
and ?. ?”

“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!!)”

“We love u LV, Gena, Ronda, Danielle and Priscilla! xxx”

“I usually get this once every one or two weeks, my go to order is the boba milk tea. I have tried so many different milk teas in my life, however I have to say this one is the best. The food doesn't dissapoint either and I have ordered the food many times, its quick, and it taste really really good.”

“Tasty, traditional Chinese flavors and GOOD ingredients.

Vegetarian options: Many options, flexible

Kid-friendliness: Not a formal setting and having small, young children appropriate and welcomed”

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

“Great value and taste for the price, the greek salad has nice portion and the grilled chicken is tasty, as I usually say the rating is always considering the fact that this is a fast food place and not to be considered as a 4 star restaurant. But I would recommend if you are in a hurry and want to try something different and more healthy for a fast food.”

“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.”

“I regular visit this place from couple of months and order only French fries, cheese cup cake and sprite. Fries are really good but sometimes it was small and cold. But only hot fries taste are good”

“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!”

“Best veggie sandwich I’ve ever had, the Goodall. Their Dutch crunch bread is amazing. They are accommodating and their sandwiches are delicious.

Vegetarian options: The goodall is delicious.”

“Wow just wow. Fantastico is the best word for this one. Great seafood. I would try a little harder to keep the beef products warmer but maybe they mean to serve it cold I dunno.”

“No complaints about the atmosphere, but I’m hesitant to give 5-stars. It feels like we’re visiting a restaurant in a developing country ? which is maybe appropriate and even considered authentic…

The noodles and broth were EXTREMELY salty, it overpowers all other flavors, could not finish because of the salt :(”

“I’ve had Sweethoney Dessert years ago when they had a store in Dublin. It was my first time trying the one in Foster City. There was only one other table present when we arrived so our stuff came out rather quickly after ordering. The server was very friendly too.

Since we were not really hungry, we just had snacks, a drink and a dessert. The snacks were not bad, but the Thai curry fish balls were too pricey. 8 small fish balls for $8 - $1 for one small fish ball was too much. I think $6 would have been more than enough, but guess we’d have to blame inflation. 5 wings for $10 was also expensive, but at least they were much bigger. Both were a little spicy, which I liked.

The purple yam sago milk was okay. I liked that it was not very sweet, but it was a bit simple for me. That’s okay since my wife ordered it. I really wanted the mango pomelo sago tofu pudding. The pomelo was tart and the tofu pudding silky. There was mango, but the flavor was weak. If it had better mango, then I would have completely satisfied with the item.

This wasn’t a meal, and it ended up at $37 pre-tip. Think it would have been $30 more to have a satisfying meal for two. I give 3.5 stars, but rounded up to 4 based on its fast food arrival and friendly service.”
