Restaurants in Foster City

“Hands down. This is worth all the good reviews.I recently moved to the Bay Area and was looking for a new Thai place to call my favorite. I'm super glad I came to this one!I had the spicy fried rice, and they were all coated well with seasoning. For those who like spice, although this dish is categorized as spicy, it isn't. It's more like a 3 out of 10 for me.All good. Just ask for chili sauce!My partner and I had the mango sticky rice as well.Portion is small but really good if you aren't trying to roll out of a restaurant!I loved that they fried and salted the mung beans on top of the sweet rice. Together with the semi sour mango, the flavor profile is great!Definitely recommend giving it a try.Price is fair for the portion, and the flavors are well done!10/10! Will be back.”

“Visit time stamp: Monday, 032524 at approximately 1230. As we rolled up there was a small line just out the door. This establishment offers take-out only. It's tiny; don't expect a red carpet. Everyone is standing. You order from right to left (you'll see). The base platter starts with either chowmein or fried rice or half & half. From there you can order 1, 2, or three add-ons. Right off the bat, the chowmein base was huge already and I mean humongous. The grub here is deeeelish with gut busting portions. Their food is hot, freshly prepared and is served up by three very efficient women who understand English better than me. They are paying attention and go out of their way to fill the white styrofoam 3-course container, leaving you to think, '...there goes my diet.' On the side (not part of the lunch deal) I ordered 6 pot stickers that were moist, golf ball sized and very delish. Additionally, I ordered a couple of BBQ pork steaks that were wonderful. What a feast. Staff efficiently bags everything so your drive back to the office doesn't end up in a disaster. I highly recommend this establishment. I cannot imagine any other restaurant matching Rickshaw Corner in portions , price or tastiness of food...I'm not kidding you, those pot stickers are the size of golf balls. Cheers.”

“A good local spot for hotpot. The green pepper soup base is particularly interesting, not something I see very often. The buttery Szechuan broth is also very good.”

“Meal time: 2024/4/4 dinnerDining experience:1. The restaurant layout is very Chinese-style, and the dining space is not too spacious.2. The taste and seasoning performance of the dishes are above the standard.3. Recommend fried fish fillets~the fish meat is fresh and sweet, and full of crispiness.”

“Great food and great service. I have hired them for catering, in person family events, and a business lunch. My favorite time is during the early evening when I can relax on the patio.”

“I need to do a better job of taking photos. Not a fan of take out pics. But Chez....my friend you never disappoint. I stay at the hotel in walking distance. Food is always hot, fresh, spicy and delicious. Food is 5 stars, will need to eat inside to roll a full fiver. Cheers.”

“Came here on a Thursday for my friends birthday. We sat at the counter & next to us was another party of 2. I believe they only open up the reservations for a certain amount of people so it's not too overwhelming. The food exceeded my expectations. I was pleasantly surprised with the different flavors that were incorporated. I have already made another reservation to come here for my birthday. Their chawanmushi was soft & memorable topped off with uni & abalone, i could eat a giant bowl of this. The chef was nice and talkative. I will definitely be back.”

“This place is amazing!! In from out of town so tried this place. The food is awesome!!! I don't like spicy and they made sure it wasn't. They even customized my thai tea with extra cream. The chicken satay was super tender. The peanut sauce is one of the best I've had. The fried shrimp rolls were Super Fresh. The garlic prawns were out of this world yummy. I wish they would take off the peelings but I'll definitely order it again. The pad see ew was so fresh and wonderful. I really can't wait to return to this place. I highly recommend it!!”

“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 ”

“This is one of the better lunches I've had in a long time. The portion size is huge and tastes really good. Simple abs fresh ingredients. The service is quick and everyone was friendly and helpful. I've gotten take out and I've dined in it's definitely better if you have the time to sit down and eat.”

“Absolute masterpiece restaurant with the friendliest people. The mixed grill has all of the most incredible flavors. The lamb, beef; and chicken are each so special. The rice, hummus, and side cucumber salad are extremely complimentary and flavorful. If you love a lot of flavors, order the mixed grill and prepare to be blown away. Oh, and here's another zinger. Get yourself some baklava. Mildly sweet, buttery, flaky, wowowow.”

“hello guys I am a famous food critic living in the foster city area. and I have went here multiple times and I have to say the food here is great and the ambient is great . normally I get a turkey sandwich with American cheese lettuce and tomatoes but I have recently started getting different items from their menu and I have to say everything in this menu is very great especially the safari sauce.”

“We've been here so many times. Their food and service are never disappoint us. We are very happy to have such good place to dine in our neighborhood, and recommend and will come more often!”

“Cozy little spot with clean, comfy seats. Fish and meat was very fresh, and the steak teriyaki was some of the best I've had in a while. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for some good price comfort sushi.”

“Food is great, as always. Helpful and nice personnel. Service time was a little late to me but as an overall it was good!Parking: There are no bike racks to park. At least I couldn't find one.Kid-friendliness: Some kids and a lot of noise but the service personnel had it under control and were helpful.”

“I LOVE these cookies. I’ve never liked cookies because they are always “fake” tasting, too hard, no flavor etc. However, when I stumbled upon Sara’s a year ago, I’ve been hooked! To whoever said they were “crunchy” and “lacked flavor” you’re completely wrong. The reason I like her cookies is because they are soft and chewy and melt in your mouth. It’s the only cookie I’ve ever enjoyed and all of them are amazing. They last days after you get them too, without getting hard or stale. 10/10”

“Crumbl Gourmet Cookies is a true indulgence for cookie lovers! The variety of flavors they offer is impressive, and each cookie is a little piece of heaven. The texture is consistently perfect--soft on the inside and delightfully crunchy on the outside. Every visit is a delightful surprise with their rotating weekly menu, ensuring there's always something new to try. The packaging is not only charming but keeps the cookies fresh. Crumbl has mastered the art of making cookies an experience, and I can't get enough of their delectable treats!”

“Cute little place to hang out. I ordered take out and it was ready for me when I arrived. I ordered the sesame soup with sesame rice balls and the mango sago with ice cream. No complaints on either and would definitely go again.”

“Excellent Indian restaurant in the heart of Foster City. Small unassuming restaurant which at first glance not impressed. However, the food was delicious. Garlic naan was excellent. Tikka masala lamb was flavorful. Love the mango lassi. Will definitely return.”

“Save room for dessert; you won't want to miss it! The baklava was a sweet symphony of layers, dripping with honey and nuts. The loukoumades were heavenly pillows of fried dough, drizzled with syrup and sprinkled with cinnamon. These desserts were the perfect sweet ending to an unforgettable Greek feast.”

“Solid milk tea spot with super friendly and fast service. They had a promo too and offered a great price for their extra large sized drinks. Rose vanilla milk tea with lychee jelly was a nice new drink to try.The free sample was also such a sweet touch and lifesaving for this momma running on empty.”

“Excellent selection of pour over coffees, good latte varieties. Recommend the berry latte and Amazing Guatemala pour over coffee. The Greek yogurt bowl is also a good choice.”

“Low key place to enjoy a beer or a drink! Nice indoor and out door tables. Good to see the golfers and all the green grass! Great place to enjoy a adult beverage , they are open to 10:00pm! Check it out! Great polish sausage! Enjoy!”

“Been coming to this quickly is in foster city for about five years now. Always good atmosphere with a lot of professionalism food always hot and ready to go. Thank you Foster City quickly for making me welcome.”

“We travel to San Mateo often and Armadillo Willy's is our favorite spot. The food is SO good, seasoned to perfection and never dried out. The staff is friendly, and we always get quick service.”

“Decent Malatang. Yes, I came because this place popped up in my search of malatang. We came by quite late, around 7:30 to 8:00pm. Most of the ingredients were no more, so we just chose whatever left. Given the late hours, we just wanted some light dinner.There was some miscommunication between the owner and us, so we thought the ingredients were separated into 2 types of serving here: AYCE malatang and Mongolian stirred fried noodles. Thus, we didn’t get any meat options, but apparently you can take whatever ingredients on both sides as you like and choose the types of serving you want. I’ll remember that next time.The broth for the malatang was very good and well seasoned compared to many places. The sauce bar consists of 4-5 different ingredients, so you can make your preferred sauce. That’s expected from a malatang or hotpot restaurant.Vegetarian options: You can go full vegan if you want here because you choose the ingredients.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair entrance and tables”

“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.”

“Friendly staff. Very fresh tender juicy perfectly seasoned Hamachi Kama. The best I've ever tried so far. Dinner bento w/ salmon and chicken teriyaki was soooo delicious too.”

“After having a craving for some pho, my friends and I went to the nearest pho place from us. The restaurant was relatively empty and so we were seated immediately. The store actually looks a little bland and doesn't play music, but it's not exactly a problem since this is how most pho places are anyways. The food itself is good albeit slightly stingy on the portions. However, you get what you pay for and that's what matters. Water was a 7/10”

“I went to the restaurant at noon. The food was very good. Serviced by the very kind lady. I really like their black garlic ramen. The flavor was not too strong which is my style. One in the list if you are coming this ”

“Always consistent! Good Americano. Bit of a log jam at pick-up area (which is also by exit door). Easy parking. Friendly service. Good assortment of breakfast and food items. Clean restrooms. Near bridge and convenient stop-off on way across or coming in.”

“I don't know when Soon's opened but I've been living in the Peninsula for 6 years and cannot believe I just discovered this restaurant. For authentic Korean food, you typically have to head down to Sunnyvale or Santa Clara. But obviously for those who live in the Peninsula or above, it is a journey. Soon's finally starts to establish options alongside Daeho in San Mateo.From the outside, Soon's looks confusing. It is supposedly a Korean restaurant in a western plaza selling a whole variety of things. Is it fusion? Is it "Korean" cuisine by inspiration? And there's even some hints of Chinese, Hawaiian and Mexican in the menu. Again, not a good sign. Also, you need to stare at the ceiling when you're inside... it could've been a 3-story building.But let the food speak for itself. The banchan already is diverse and authentic, as well as every single dish that came out. The food is cooked by your "aunt" with decent sprinkling of love and nostalgia. It is Korean comfort food done well across the board. We had a tofu soup, galbi, kimchi fried rice and jjajangmyun... (?) - yes, the things from Chinese restaurants.And yes, all of them turned out great. It definitely is created with your aunt's interpretation but proper. The food tends to be on the sweeter side (so a bit additional sugar) but still within normal ranges.Ah, and the staff is super friendly.I am so glad we discovered Soon's. We'll absolutely be back. And one less reason to go down to Lawrence and El Camino.Parking: Plenty of parking in the plaza.”
