“Lloyd Eats World is a Filipino owned business run by Lllloyd Bautista who incorporates his Filipino-American background in hid food. And at the moment Lloyds vision of Filipino-American background is best served through his smash burgers. For me this is a first and I definitely was ecstatic to experience his execution of Filipino inspired smash burgers which for me has never been seen before. So hows his smash burgers? All burgers come with 2.5 oz beef patty or impossible patty, their respective jams, cloud-like brioche bun, mild cheddar cheese, garlic spread, lettuce, and tomato need I say more? Adobo Smash Burger w/ adobo pork jam: I went for that adobo burger to taste that Filipino-American influence. Taking that first bite munching on that soft bun, juicy and tender patty, the saltiness of the jam, the sweetness of the caramelized onions, the freshness of the lettuce, and It was the start of "The" ideal burger. That adobo jam is crack and I'll be damned if i could buy a jar of it. Original Smash Burger w/ bacon jam: Knocking out the adobo jam burger, I had all I needed to know that this would smash it out of the window. The bacon jam equally as salty brought out so much flavor Impossible Burger w/ onion jam: I hardly ever have impossible burgers, but I believe this is probably one of the best representations of faux meat burgers I've had the pleasure of eating. The texture is different, but the taste certainly fooled me. Little Lumpias: Ok, i didn't even know the lumpias were impossible, the whole time i thought it was real meat. Completely fooled me Lloyd! The best part of this dish was the mango pico de gallo, it paired so well with the tots and lumpia. An amazing take on impossible loaded lumpias! Overall, Lloyd Eats World was probably one of my favorite vendors at Foodieland Berkeley this year. His prices were reasonable, his food was bomb, and his team worked FAST. Go check them out in SF pop ups when you can! You certainly won't regret tasting this smash burger!“
“Plenty of parking in the morning. Thought I would wait for this place to open, but they actually started serving food earlier than their posted hours. Very similar in style and set-up to Panda Express (pre-made food in trays behind glass), but better value for money. They filled the food all the way up to the top, and then some. Prices are also lower than Panda. Fast service. Beef broccoli was good, lemon and garlic chicken were OK--not too sweet or drenched in sauce like I've seen in other places.“
“I come here all the time! It's such a great alternative to regular hot pot because you get to choose what ingredients you want :) highly recommend if you're super picky about what's in your soup. The staff are always super nice and greet you with a smile. I will note: most of the service is self-serve so you're expected to make your own sauces and get your own drinks. Overall, I love bringing friends and family here because everyone leaves full and happy“
“With a flavorful array of meat and fish dishes, this near institutional Cambodian restaurant in Oakland dishes out a very satisfying meal.638. TREI CHAP CHEAN TURK CHHOU-AIM, a crispy-fried whole Pompano fish topped with sweet-and-salty stir-fried ground pork: good mixed with good to create yum!426. LEMONGRASS PORK RIBS, perfectly charbroiled with fragrant spices.109. SPICY PAPAYA SALAD, crisp and crunchy, a refreshing accompaniment to the richness in dishes.An excellent option for Southeast Asian in East Bay, where the standard is already set very high.“
“Excellent service all around, starting with prompt responses to my questions over text message, to a warm welcome when we arrived and attentive service from all the staff throughout our dining experience. All the dishes we ordered were amazing; from the raw and grilled oysters, salads, to the sandwiches/entrees and hand crafted cocktails/drinks, everything was delicious. What a gem in this neighborhood! Definitely recommend, especially if you are celebrating a special occasion. We had such a great time for my birthday.“
“The service from the waitress is great. She loves the hot and sour flavor. Now I want to eat it every day, but it’s a bit far away, so I go there every week. My son also likes it very much. I usually add powder for him to eat, and he is very special. I like sausages and beef. I also like beef. My husband likes their radishes. All in all they are delicious. I hope there will be another restaurant nearby.“
“Located in one of San Ramon's strip malls, One House Bistro offers a blend of tasty cuisine and visually appealing ambiance. You can't tell from the outside, but once you walk in it's pleasantly surprising to see all the flower decorations The food is delicious and satisfying. The cocktails and mocktails were pretty looking and tasty. However, there was a hiccup upon arrival... despite having made reservations a week in advance, a table was not ready for us when we arrived on time. Nonetheless, the staff swiftly resolved the issue. We ordered vegetable egg rolls and tuna tower for appetizers. For mains we ordered grilled lamb chops, braised short ribs, pad see ew, kao soi, carbonara spaghetti and pad kee mao. For dessert, we ordered mango sticky rice and ice cream with caramelized banana. Everything was tasty and well plated. For drinks we ordered lycheetini, hot sake, hibiscus refresher, pink lady and empress cocktail. Everyone enjoyed their drinks. The straws came with a little cute decorative paper flower on top We were celebrating a birthday and they brought out candles lit in a small chandelier on top of ice cream. It was a sweet touch to an already memorable evening. Overall, while there was a minor setback in the beginning, the dining experience was enjoyable, making it a recommended spot.“
“Second time coming here and had different food items. All were amazing. The spices used and the quality of the food is really great. I so enjoy this restaurant. B, our server was wonderful. she was gracious, knowledgeable, and gave us good suggestions on what to order. It was a great night.“
“Very good and authentic Korean style Chinese food! Glad this one is close by. I don’t have to drive all the way to Santa Clara anymore. Jjamppong is one of the best I have had in US, with just the right spicy level. It comes with a lot of seafood, which is probably why this dish is much more expensive than Jajangmyeon. Jajangmyeon was a bit too sweet for me. Nothing special with Tangsuyuk, not bad but probably won’t order again next time.“
“I discovered this restaurant through yelp. It is a tiny hole-in-the-wall place with less than 10 tables. They are used to catering to offices and a to-go place. Incredible Food - the flavors of are unique and delicious. Food is medium spicy. Service is fantastic - I got good recommendations - Salmon Curry, Chicken Momo, Veg Fried Rice, Paneer Masala Curry and Garlic Naan. After the meal, even the chef came out to meet us. It is awesome to meet a friendly Fremont family owned establishment. I would strongly recommend trying this out.“
“The manager on duty was amazing! He did a great job ensuring there would be tables available for guests who are just getting their food. It is very inconvenient and inconsiderate when patrons reserve tables before getting their food, so to have a manager who is so proactive is really attentive customer service. A++!!“
“Came here in search of vegetarian sushi and was super impressed. Not a sushi person, but dining here changed my mind about sushi. We tried Green Machine & Little Island - both amazing.The Matcha Pannacotta was okayish. Also tried the cauliflower but the sauce was a bit too sweet for my liking.Look forward to coming back here.“
“I just discovered this amazing place and I am in love with it. The food is delicious and satisfying. The restaurant itself is amazing with lots of indoor and outdoor seating, a full cocktail bar, and a very large sushi bar. Please go check it out cuz it is cool and a great find in Castro valley, California.“
“I love this place as it offers one of the best Selections of Sizzling plates.You may choose your own type of meat (chicken-beef-fish with a side of veggies) or add on an appetizer.I also loved their hawaaiian plate with BBQ galbi,rice and macaroni.My ultimate favorite here is Beef Kimchi sizzling plate, calamari,walnut shrimp and crispy chicken,mango green tea,basic crispy french fries, etc.But im not a fan of potstickers though.Plus this place is super clean,with a clean bathroom as well.Servers are very attentive and approachable.I will definitely try other snacks and dish next time“
“This place has been my all-time favorite. It's 'all you can eat style' hot pot, with selection of individual small pot or large shared pot.Lunch after the tax is around 22, and dinner is around 35 per person. There is another vegetarian option as well.Drinks are self served and unlimited.You can order 4 kinds of meet at the beginning. Vegetables, mushrooms, and other items are self-serving.Usually, there is no time limit, but do expect 1 hour limit during busy hours.Few tips. If you order the same kind of meat twice when placing an order, they usually bring you only one plate.The most classic combinations are spicy marrow and original marrow. The seven star pepper beef soup is the best but will cost an extra 8 dollars.“
“Dining at the restaurant was a delightful experience! Their grilled fish is simply exquisite, with a crispy and flavorful fried exterior, complemented by a variety of delicious accompanying side dishes and fragrant pork kidney flowers. Highly recommended for those who enjoy Sichuan cuisine.“

“Mirchi Cafe has great food and service! The food is fresh and the flavors are spot on! Atef and Anna are amazing and always make sure the food is correct and the service is on point! They know all their regular customers and make them feel at home! Even if you are not a regular they will make you feel like family and welcomed!“
“We stumbled upon this place while looking for Halal meat pizzas. They have halal options in Tandoori Chicken and Chicken Tikka Pizza. The taste was really good and the toppings were rich. We also tried desi sticks as appetizers and really enjoyed that.Overall a nice experience and would recommend.“
“The food is tasty and spicy, which I like, I ordered the Mongolian beef. It wasn't clear or stated on the order platform that this was just the Mongolian Beef. Apparently it does not come with rice which is very disappointing. It should be clear on the order app that this doesn't come with rice. This is first time I didn't get rice with my Chinese meal.“
“Vinum is one of the best places to hang out or go on a date any night. We went there on Friday and met Henry, our server. He was super nice and attentive. Henry went over the menu with us and recommended a few drinks. The food was delicious and came out quickly. The prices were decent, and the portions were good for sharing. The restaurant wasn't noisy, and there was a good view near the window. Henry always checked on us and was very friendly. Even though Friday was a busy night for him, he still constantly checked on our table to make sure we had everything we needed. We loved the place and the service so much that we came back on Tuesday night. We met Henry again, and once again, he gave us excellent customer service. I would highly recommend this place for the food, drinks, ambience, and of course, the customer service. Check them out if you're undecided on where to go for a date night!“
“Absolutely delicious. The Calamari was amazing although I wish there was a dipping sauce. The crab app was my favorite . The chicken and salmon (main dishes) were very good. Service was excellent as our server was always replacing our water A bit odd location but when in town, I would definitely go here again“
“Been coming to this place ever since i was 5 years old ! It been 25 years and even though i do not live here anymore i always try to make a stop. My personal fav love the bell pepper beef. They dont take debit card so make sure to get cash. This place brings so much family memories of me and my parents eating or getting to go every sunday. I love that they are afforable and decent portions and the taste and quality off the food is amazing. They are super nice we made a order super late did not know they were gonna close and the guys said it was okay that he will wait. Best chinese food in the area.“
“The ambience is really good. Service is also decent. Food is okayish - we ordered honey chilli potatoes, triple fried rice, veg and chicken momos and chicken hakka noodles. The honey chilli potatoes and chicken hakka noodles were good . Everything else was average - chicken momos were bland.“
“I visited Off the Record and thought it was a good restaurant. It had a nice atmosphere, and the service was good. But most importantly, the food was delicious. I would definitely go back. They even gave us free rice when we ordered an item for takeout.“
“Our barista was very very friendly and helpful. It was an absolute joy of an experience that I dream about at night. My wonderful barista made me feel at home and reminded me of my own mother with her flowing ponytail and lovely demeanor who died in a car accident two years ago. It is safe to say I will be coming back!!!!“
“Went here with my friends to celebrate the end of finals week. The waitress was so nice! You're allowed to eat as a minor but I'm pretty sure all their alcoholic beverages require IDIf you ever come here, you need to try their fried rice. Its really delicious! I also recommend their chicken skewers, it was so juicy and tender and I just loved it.Overall the final bill came out to be around 150 for around 2 fried rice, 1 hot pot, 1 chicken skewer, 1 wagyu skewer, 1 fried potato thingy, and 1 garlic fries. 10/10 would do again“
“Exceptional experience here. The Chinese skewers were incredibly flavorful and cooked to perfection. The owner's warmth and genuine interest in customer satisfaction added a special touch to the dining experience. They were eager to hear feedback and offered great advice on menu choices. Can't wait to visit again!“
“Excuse my French but....THIS PLACE SO MF GOOD !! I rarely leave reviews but I had to for this one. They knew what they were doing naming this place "yummy yummy" y'all know how Keith Lee syncs into his seat when the food hits ?!? Baby that was me on the ride back to work lol. Thought I'd just get a little taste and baby I tore that trio plate up ! It was my first time so I went during their lunch time and they have an amazing lunch special. Everything is seasoned to perfection! The rice is cooked perfectly the steak butter and literally melts the chicken is tender and I've been to every hibachi in the bay and sometimes the chicken can be a bit dry but not at yummy yummy ! The veggies were even seasoned perfectly! I also got a lobster in the side and there was some garlic butter that didn't quite melt and I scooped it up with that piece of lobster meat.....orgasmic!! So happy I gave this place a try I will definitely be coming back again !!“
“This was somewhat pricey as meals go, but it being all you can eat makes it much better for people concerned about being full after hot pot without paying a huge amount. I enjoyed mixing my sauces with ingredients like green onion and minced garlic. Picking out a few new things from the case to try without needing to get a set amount and paying for a thing I might not like was a good perk. Soft drinks and dessert, tasty coconut pudding, being included was another great upside. The spicy broth was good. I wasn't that impressed with the chicken coconut broth and I didn't really like the raw chicken that came with it. The other meats were fine, but some of the beef was somewhat chewy.“
“Tandoori sticks were delicious.Paneer Pesto pizza was delicious.Tiki Masala pizza was too spicy for me. I would choose a mild pizza in the future.I will come back.Wheelchair accessibility: All tables were booths or high tables. Not wheelchair friendly at all. I had to sit at the end of a booth table out in the middle of the floor. That was the only option.“
“I loved the decor and during the afternoon tea time the soup was great. (it is their specialty) I go here often for their food.Update (6/23): post-pandemic they no longer have the happy hour menu so mostly go there for their club sandwich and curry.“
“Traditional Hong Kong style cafe. Baked pork chop spigetti/rice to classic beef chow fun or instant noodle with egg and ham. It's all here. They also have happy hour between 2 or 230pm to 5 or 530pm somewhere around that time. Cant go wrong coming to eat here. Been a fan of this place for decades and it's a well known spot among locals.“
“Good food. Service is good as long as the manager/owner is helping wait the tables. Parking can be really challenging, depending on what day and time it is. Usually the parking is hard to find on weekends and evenings.Parking: The location is at the corner of A St x Hesperian, next to BK and other stores so parking lot is full of patrons going to all the other businesses around“
