“These have to be the best ribs I’ve had in a long time.“

“Great location, food, and staff“

“SO GOOD, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, Good pricing, Great flavor for everything.“

“Our family hosted a 62nd Bday party at the lovely Zaiqa Indian and Pakistani Restaurant Banquet Hall. This place truly deserves 5 star plus rating. Excellent experience dealing with the restaurant owner Ron. All of his staff made us feel very welcomed and were very accommodating during our event. Food was very delicious and our guests complimented it very highly. Would highly recommend this place for it's authentic Indian/Pakistani food!!“

“Mmmmm❤️❤️❤️☕️☕️🥗🥙🥰🥰😍😍delicioso .“

“Sandwiches, Ribs, Steaks, Deli Salads, Marinated Tri Tips and more.“

“Was really sad to see my favorite unique + quality brunch spot in the bay change format to being fast casual. It was such an easy brunch pick to take out of towners or friends to.

Now instead, they've become easily one of the best fast-casual food in the bay. So I really can't complain. I guess their format changed worked because I've eaten here more often than when they were full service. The value for the money you get here is pretty nuts. Still just as good ingredients & just as good preparation, all at a more approachable price point & form factor. What really gets me is I'm truly getting restaurant quality cooking for a unique cuisine I don't see very often, just a version that works better to-go. When you compare to some of the other casual lunch/dinner places in the area that have a similar format, it's really no competition. You'd be hard pressed to find a better way to spend $20-30/pp. I also love that they kept some of my favorite guilty pleasures from when they were a full service restaurant, like the knafe pancake.

Their in-house online ordering system is pretty slick and a good deal too. Works just as well as doordash without any of the bloated prices. Wouldn't mind seeing this spread around to more restaurants.“

“Great atmosphere and delicious food! Outdoor dining, too!“

“I have been wanting to try this place for a while, and I’m so glad I finally did. The food was very fresh and delicious, and reasonably priced for the quality. The braised lamb sandwich had soft flatbread, crunchy herbs and vegetables, a tangy sauce, and perfectly tender lamb. The service was friendly, warm, and the food came out quickly. Fava is a lovely lunch spot and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a pleasant lunch in North Berkeley.“

“Best saag I’ve ever had! Wonderful salmon tandoori. Amazing chai 👏🏻!“

“Gran Milan is THE place to get the most delicious foods on the planet!!! I recently ordered mini sfogliatelles, cannolis, (3) meter long pizzas n wonder focaccia bread to make sandwiches and their famous olive bread sticks!!! Thanks for the beautiful foods and service!!! I highly recommend Rufo’s place for your next catering! I haven’t seen sfogliatelles outside of NY!!! Love this place!!“

“The food is scrumptious, fast service & glorious sunshine as we basked enjoying the fried chicken sandwiches with spicy slaw Beyond yummy !“

“Wide variety of Peruvian treats especially fried plantains and pisco chilcanos“

“My family and I had Bula Pies on Springs Rd. by 7/11 for the first time this evening and it was delicious! We had the Thanksgiving Pie and the banana pudding and both were so good! The limeade drink is my new favorite too so just wanted to shout out to them because food was great and the customer service was too!“

“Thank You for the Vegan options!! 🌱“

“My friend had been telling me about this place for months, and I finally went. It's as great as she said! The coffee (well, I had a Chai) was delicious and so were the pastries. They also sell a small variety of items - prepared grab and go food & drinks, jams, and more! The vibe is awesome. It's cute inside & out, with lovely outdoor space on the front patio or back. It reminds me of the coffee houses in Portland (houses w/ tables set up in different rooms).
To top off how great they are on a normal day, when I absentmindedly left my purse just before they closed, they called back to confirm it was there & safely held on to it until my friend could pick it up for me the next morning.“

“This place is great! Criss, Matt and Nurika are lovely hosts/chefs and El Mono’s food is amazing. I’ve visited three times now and every time the service, flavors, and atmosphere have made my evening. To many more visits!“

“Atmosphere, customer service, prices and the freaking food is amazing 😍. Highest rated casual dining from Hayward to Vallejo! For good reason! This is a must if in the area. We will be back!“

“This is a family run place with outdoor seating. The food is quick, fresh and tasty. Women members of the family are nicer than the men, who can be clueless and unhelpful. Sometimes the meat is recooked in the crispy tacos which are otherwise my favorite. The flautas are also fresh and good as are the refried pinto beans.I like this casual place a lot—you can buy Russian River Brew next door at Raymnond’s excellent pizza place and sit in the sun with the locals.“

“Looking forward to the grand opening!“

“One of my San Francisco Bay Area Secrets..., that is no longer a secret.

Great Bar and Restaurant; old school making drinks (yes, heavy on the alcohol), a wide selection of worldly beers on the menu, a few beers on tap, and a good selection of amount of food that comes out of that kitchen of theirs.

I have been going to the Warehouse since I was a child, when my parents would take me there for dinner way back in the 1980s. Plus, there is a 11-foot tall polar bear, with another black bear for photography. Next door (random hours) is a clothing, antique store and on Sunday's (spring and summer months) is a live band.

If not live music, there is a jukebox with a very wide selection of music to choose from (with cash or on-line), only one (1) pool table, but because there is so much history in that place, there is no need for any activities like pool.

Overall, one of the best drinking holes in the Bay Area. We Love the Warehouse and shall never go to long without a visit.“

“wanted to hate this place becuase the wait was so long but honestly the sushi was so freaking fresh and the rolls were massive. definitely worth the wait, id wait again. the salmon had this buttery texture that just melted.

im already planning my next trip back there, also their miso soup was really good too which i wasnt expecting from a place that focuses on rolls. definitely my new go to spot in albany“

“I love going to Five Star Chicken in Vallejo, I've actually recommended it to a lot of people. I love the food, it fills me up at a reasonable price point. Plus the customer service is excellent, way above average! I highly recommend you try this place out, you won't regret it.“

“Great beer selection; try the Structure“

“Love that we have this amazing coffee pop up in our town! The owners are such awesome people who have made this a warm and welcoming spot to enjoy. The coffee drinks are so tasty and the owners are always trying new combinations. The atmosphere here is friendly and relaxing and dogs are welcome too ♥️“

“This unassuming spot is our favorite Chinese restaurant in the Bay! My husband, who thought he didn’t like Chinese food, is now a convert.

The chili fried chicken is heavenly. The sichuan peppers bring a beautiful, floral aroma and heat to the fresh, crispy, juicy popcorn-style chicken.

The butterfly shrimp has a delightful garlic, savory flavor, slurpable noodles, and fat juicy shrimp. It comes piping hot on a pan.

Can’t recommend this place enough.“

“Looking to beat the heat so we headed to Berkeley for lunch. Got the Pastrami Ruskie with Latke. Sooooo good. Huge portions. Friendly service. They were out of Prosecco so they couldn’t make me their Old Man & The Deli. Got a margarita and it was both tasty & packed a punch.“

“This place will always be my favorite Hunan restaurant in the East Bay. I've been here several times already and it hits every time!! I've dined solo and taken my family and friends here. It's that good. Super consistent in flavor. Street parking.
Must try:
- Eggplant with green beans
- Vine pepper fish
- Spicy fried chicken
- Lamb stir fry with chilis
I'm really going to miss it when I'm not longer living near by.“

“Just picked up my chicken soup this afternoon,my granddaughter wanted to go to the park,I ordered it over the phone and they said 10 minutes but we stayed at the park for. 45 minutes the soup and croissant was still hot not warm but hot my granddaughter loved the bread man lol“

“THE FOOD IS 1000% WORTH THE WAIT!! We arrived around 11 and waited in line for a good amount of time. 30 min? 1 hour? Longer?? I don’t even have a clue because we chatted and looked at all the beautiful scenery there. The staff does a really good job of keeping tables turning and they seat you after you order. I really appreciated how they kept the pace and we didn’t have to find our own table.
The food was sooooo good. We had huevos rancheros, chicken and waffles, tres leches French toast, and a breakfast burrito. The breakfast burrito was just ok but everything else was AMAZING. 🙌🏼 The michelada was the best I’ve ever had EVER. We ordered a fresh squeezed orange juice to go and were blown away. We all agreed that we’d stand in line for the OJ alone! Ugggghhh, it was all so good! I wish we didn’t live 3 hours away!!
OH, the staff were soooo friendly and handled everyone so beautifully. They’ve created something really special and unique there.“

“We had a wonderful meal here! I got carne asada which was my favorite and queso birria which was good as well. My dad loved the shrimp tacos. The back patio is the perfect place to watch the World Cup! Absolutely keeping this place on my list of favorites! And they were exceedingly accommodating, my dad is allergic to cilantro and they accommodated him completely!“

“Best pho in town. The food hits every time! Everything’s always cooked fresh, and full of flavor. I highly recommend grabbing their Thai tea, they make it bold, sweet and creamy ! And lastly the workers are so sweet ! Their customer service is amazing and they treat their customers so nicely. I highly recommend this place 10/10!!!“

“todo delicioso 😋 y fresco y muy limpio“

“This place is truly a little hidden gem, it is such a nice environment to get a drink or a snack. The plants are everywhere and make the place feel so whimsy and cozy.
We got the churro mochi muffin which was unexpectedly amazing. I loved the texture and it’s truly the best balance between a muffin and a mochi.“

“I must say I would have never thought a restaurant like this could exist in Vallejo but yet they are going over 12 years strong. Kudos to you and kudos for making Vallejo a destination for fine cuisine“

“The legend is such an amazing place to eat. Not only is the food good but Juan the owner is such a beautiful person. He gave me the love of Jesus the whole time I was there. Truly had made my day the customer service I received. Definitely recommend trying this place out.“

“Great food, relaxed environment, great place.“

“The place: cozy & calm & quiet
The staff: wonderful & kind & helpful
The service: amazing
The product: delicious & natural

One of the best boba places in town, 110% recommend“

“Grabbed a quick bite to eat with my husband, we had some Mango Lassi smoothies and chicken samosas. DELICIOUS!“

“This is hands-down the best acai spot in the Bay. Trust me—I’ve tried all the top-rated acai bowls around and none of them compare to the quality and flavor you find at Brazuca. They import their acai straight from Brazil, and it’s mixed to produce the perfect sweetness and texture. Go for the traditional bowl, which blends in condensed milk and milk powder for an incredible flavor profile. Even if you’re not near Richmond, it’s worth the drive! You won’t be sorry.“

“Great local restaurant, friendly staff, and generous owner. Definitely make this a stop on your local Richmond food tour!“

“VERY nice bar tucked off in Albany, inside is a wooded theme fireplace, candle lit tables with umbrellas outback on the patio. They have games like checkers, pool etc,. Super low-key but very chill-romantic vibe. I enjoyed myself and will be back again.“

“The best in town.“

“YUMMMO - Savoring every bite - you will LOVE the catfish and hush puppies!!“

“Really good for what it is. We came on a Sat evening at 6pm (they close at 7pm). We were there until 715pm, and people were still chilling outside eating. 7-8 groups of ppl from 2 to 7 pplv in each group. Nice atmosphere, outdoor space is cute, music not loud, and she changed it when it was too 60's (most of us were in our 40's or younger).
We had the sliders (3 diff burgers, one chicken) and they were good, with fries = $22. Perfect for 2 of us girls. And we had 2 canned beers from Oakland brewery = $10 each. They were good too. Total with tax was $46.
We'll be back!“

“Great atmosphere . Nice people“

“I love Nations but it really pisses me off that the Management doesn't allow the employees to have a tip jar of every little bit helps especially now and it's not like they pay great either just average, but I did see a Giant Help Wanted sign in the window, hmmm I wonder why?“
