“Rolls are perfect; Herbivore Dinosaur was the favorite of the 5 we ordered. The staff are extremely friendly & attentive. Location is conveniently above San Pablo & heavily congested areas. All around great dining experience.”

“Cute spot for an American diner. Came for brunch and ordered the corned beef hash. Their biscuits are delicious, and I'm disappointed that they don't have biscuits and gravy on the menu. But overall, good food, fast service.”

“My daughter and I love the Fried Sage Pizza and the Strozzapreti Bolognese and my twin grandsons love the Pepperoni Piza.”

“I pick up salads and sandwiches here most weeks. The quality of the ingredients is excellent. I often find an interesting treat for myself too. Last week it was Lapo's brand fake negronis - sooo delicious.

It's purely take-out but there is a pretty outddors area with benches next to it”

“The owner is a lovely woman who tastes everything in her store to recommend the best Dubai chocolates and teas and cheeses for your tastes, which I found touching. We loved finding Dutch honey drops here and porcini mushrooms, and HIGHLY recommend getting a cortado at the coffee bar.”

“Perfect food gift for sourdough lovers - local, lightweight, and long lasting! So excited to discover these semifreddi crostini in bags.

For lunch had a tasty grab and go chicken muffaletta sandwich and I love knowing it's on Semifreddi bread made in Alameda.”

“Great event! Will try the Bangers and Mash next time!”

“best sandwiches (BY FAR) north of berkeley. gourmet. don't sleep on the steak & stilton or pulled chicken when they offer it. comes with a pickle. you can pick up chips & a drink from the market there. soo good.”

“Liholiho is a fantastic restaurant! The space is modern and beautifully designed, with an open kitchen where you can watch everything being prepared, which adds a lot of energy and transparency to the dining experience.

The service was very friendly, attentive, and quick. The cocktails were excellent, and even the non-alcoholic one I ordered was made with care and tasted great.

The food was outstanding. The bun with beef tongue was extraordinary, the tuna tartare and ceviche were perfectly balanced and fresh, and the shrimps with crispy rice were especially memorable. All dishes showed creativity, originality, and were prepared with high quality ingredients.

For three people, including first and main courses, drinks, and one dessert, the bill came to $260, which I found fair for this level of quality. The only minus point is that the restaurant does not offer coffee, which would have been a nice way to finish the meal.

Overall, I really enjoyed everything at Liholiho. Highly recommended, and I hope I will get to return again!”

“The food in this restaurant is delicious, I hope you have time to try it.”

“Definitely Best Tacos in Town! 🔥🍻🤤”

“I've ordered delivery from here 5 times.
Solid food (except the one time I had a scale in my sushi roll). Not bad service (wish they'd be more accommodating with requests). Takes too damn long to make (~80 min ETA every time on DoorDash).

Prefer Sushi Shio. every. single. time.

P.S. will add more photos of the food if I ever order from here again.”

“Hands down the best focaccia in the SF Bay Area. The pizza and raisin are my favorite. I've been coming here since the early 80s. You need to get here early because once they are sold out. They will closeshop.”

“Holy Schnike!!! The food is incredibly delicious, the non-seafood versions I am getting are the most amazing tastes. The Wines paired with the dishes are inspired and spot on.”

“One of the best soul food ever. Their grits and collard greens are the best”

“Best vegan meal I’ve ever had, went twice in a four days it was that good ❤️”

“Best non-traditional sushi that I've ever eaten”

“One of the best tasting pizza I’ve tasted I highly recommend this place.”

“Amazing service and food!!!!”

“Arrived solo while waiting for a mate and was instantly looked after by the lovely bartender & manager—genuinely great chat and brilliant drink recs. The “punch special” is chaos in a glass (a mix of whatever’s going—but cheap and fun if you’re brave). Music was random, the pool table was lively, and people were even sending drinks to strangers, which gave the whole place a buzzy, friendly feel. It’s the perfect mix of dive bar energy with proper service and solid drinks. Not polished, not trying to be—just effortlessly cool. Definitely worth a visit, and I’d happily go back.”

“Very intimidated by the long line out side but they were very very efficient! The signature ramen was Devine! The egg perfect! The duck matcha was super fun but beware it might keep you up! We got edamame and the fried mushrooms too which came out in what felt like seconds. The mushrooms I will be thinking about for all time.”

“We had just read the top 100 BayArea restaurants and found the HK Lounge and decided to try it. I am so glad we did. It is one of the best dim sum I have eaten outside Hong Kong., Each item was freshly made, and tasted exactly like the ingredients that are. outlined. We loved the soft shell crab, the duck dumplings, outstanding, and the sticky rice in lotus leaf was beyond any one I have ever had, The restaurant is small but we had a reservation and it was honored in a timely fashion. It can be loud when it is full, we had a later time and it became quiter. The staff was kind and attentive. I can't see going anywhere else but HK Lounge.”

“Lovely friendly Italian wine bar and delicious restaurant. Fresh innovative salads, pastas and main courses. Highly recommended.”

“THE BEST CHICKIN IN INDY”

“One of the best dining experiences we’ve had.

Californios is a Michelin two star restaurant well deserving of this recognition.
I wouldn’t change any part of their course menu and was blown away at the experience offered here.”
