“I had lunch here for my 1st time. I will be back for many more lunches. Thank you folks very much and I’m looking forward to scarfing my left overs for dinner.“

“I tried Seasons Noodle and Dumpling Garden, and this place definitely surprised me in a good way.

I’m not usually a noodle person. What I know about noodles is either the wok style ones I used to eat back home in Egypt or simple instant noodles at home. That said, this spot changed my perspective. The noodles here are handmade right in front of you, and you can really taste the difference. Fresh, well-textured, and done properly.

The place is very busy, which is usually a good sign, and overall the service moves fast. If you order a broth based noodle dish, it comes out quickly and is served hot, which is great. The issue comes when one person orders broth noodles and the other orders a non broth dish. Those take noticeably longer, and by the time they arrive, the broth dish is already cooling down. That takes away from the experience when you’re eating together.

Because of that timing gap, I’m taking one star off. The food quality is strong, and the handmade noodles are the highlight, but better coordination between dishes would really improve the experience.

Still, if you’re into fresh, handmade noodles, this place is worth trying. Just keep the order timing in mind.“

“This is a special review, and I’d like to highlight one of the employees, Mr. Gao. We visited the Cupertino location, and my dad accidentally left his bag there (with his phone and water bottle inside). When I called the restaurant, I mistakenly reached the Milpitas location.

Even though Mr. Gao doesn’t work at that location, he went above and beyond to help us. He personally contacted the Cupertino store, reassured me, and explained that they have security cameras, so they would be able to locate the bag. His calm, thorough, and responsible approach meant a lot to us during a stressful moment.

We already love the food at DH Noodle, but this experience really showed the integrity and sense of ownership your staff has—qualities that matter deeply to us. Huge shout-out to Mr. Gao, as well as the Cupertino team. Thank you for the outstanding service.“

“Highly recommend the delicious , tender, and authentic Hainanese chicken. Must order. We had 1/2 chicken. The chicken soup was very tasty soup and costed $1.

The stirred fried green bean with minced meat was good texture with flavors.

Ordered a whole Hainanese chicken for our Lunar New Year’s Eve dinner 😋“

“Best vegan food in Palo Alto. I eat here as often as I can. FYI, it's cash only for smaller orders. Very highly recommended.“

“Excellent, creative dishes! Good service!! 10 stars!!!“

“friendly staff, monstrous upon great broth“

“Feels like home!

We ordered

- dan dan noodle
- the egg fried toona sinensis
- stir fried shradde cabbage
- seasoned beef shank
- pork spareribs with house special sauce

We really like the Dan Dan noodle, cabbage and egg fried; the appetizer beef shank and spareribs taste good too they rank below the other three 😘“

“What a hidden gem! The snowflake potstickers are so crispy and juicy, best enjoyed in the restaurant! My son gets so excited to go here before his baseball practice. My daughter loves their soup dumplings, and the fried rice is our family favorite. Staff is always kind.“

“Many promotions going on, they have eat for under $10 and I was more than full. Also they have a gift card deal and more discounts when leaving a review that I am taking advantage of! This place is very well priced and you can tell everything is fresh. I saw the girl cutting up all the vegetables from scratch. Very honorable place, really liked the kake, similar to miso soup in my opinion“

“手工拉面不错，儿童友好，微辣的牛腩面也适合大人，总体不错，五星好评。“

“3 people less than $100, large portions“

“Burma Spice is a Burmese restaurant on El Camino Real in Redwood City. It is situated in a busy strip mall, making parking tight. They have outdoor seating. The food was better than expected and service was solid. Good choice for trying Burmese food on the Peninsula.

Safety Pluses - Online menu, Outdoor seating, Delivery services available, online ordering.

Food Review:
Tea Leaf Salad ($19.99) Romaine lettuce, fried yellow beans, garlic chips, sesame & sunflower seeds, peanuts, tomatoes and jalapenos all tossed with fermented green tea leaf dressing was mixed up tableside. Nice version with good ingredients, a moderate dressing and not much spice. 9/10

Burma House Noodle ($19.99) Rice noodle with red bell peppers, onions, cabbage and egg, with crushed peanuts & lemon on the side is on the sweet side. Less noodles than expected, still an enjoyable dish. 8.5/10

Overall - Very Good
Food - Very Good
Decor - Good
Service - Good
Value - Very Good

Would we come back - Yes“

“Solid spot for some Chongqing style food. Everything I've had so far has been very fresh, quite flavourful, and generously portioned with reasonable prices. The ground pork dry noodles are my personal go-to favourite. As typical of Chongqing style food, the spice level really hits nicely! Service is polite and fairly quick. The restaurant is pretty well kept and clean as well. Definitely recommend checking this place out.“

“I had a great time over there. Delicious food 🥘“

“No complaints! Came in for a late lunch and the restaurant was still fairly packed. Ordered a Dry Noodle with Ground Pork and it came out within 10 minutes. The noodles had a nice chew and the dish surprisingly wasn't oily overall. Simple and fulfilling! 🍜🐷😋🥢“

“Just devoured dinner at Merit Vegan - think "family dinner" vibes with a plant-based twist. The corndogs and cheesecake? Unreal. Parking's easy, portions are generous, and the staff is pure sunshine.“

“Tried Ox 9 Lanzhou Handpulled Noodles and honestly… solid spot. The thin noodles surprised me super chewy with great strength even though they’re thin. Respect to the noodle puller because that texture was on point.

The soup was flavorful and came with that classic Lanzhou level grease, which sounds intense but actually keeps the broth hot and satisfying. Spice level was perfectly balanced not trying to end your day, but just enough to wake up your taste buds.

Also tried the thick noodles from the chili oil bowl strong, super chewy, and full of character. Basically the noodle equivalent of someone who works out legs every day.

Overall, this place is a legit hand-pulled noodle fix. Great texture, great flavor, great heat. Definitely coming back whenever that Lanzhou noodle craving hits.“

“Service was great! We had a large party (multiple to young families) and we were able to get seated all together. Additionally the ordering process through the app makes it easy, imo, and collaborative, too. The food was fantastic - delivered to the table quickly, was great temperature and the flavor and texture were delicious! Look forward to returning.“

“This place is one of the most underrated restaurants ever in the bay. The udon noodles are a little pricey and the menu doesn't have much variety but the food is one of a kind. Their udon is the best I've had anywhere in the city and is on the same level as those restaurants in Japan.“

“We had a wonderful dinner here, with boiling beef and pumpkin cake. We also got the beef bun. All were delicious. We love the atmosphere and deco inside. There’s also free ice cream! Highly recommended for anyone with young children, or those who enjoy a good atmosphere - it feels like a real restaurant in China. Highly recommended!“

“The best food I’ve ever had in my life. It’s like they put voodoo magic in their food I just don’t understand how it’s that good. Just take all my money it’s fine. My favorites are the soup bao, honey walnut shrimp and orange chicken I could just freaken live off their soup bao“

“food and service is superb! number 1“

“Love their foods, so delicious and fancy will bring my family & friends there again!!“

“The environment is clean and comfortable, with a nice atmosphere. The service was excellent — the staff were friendly and attentive, and the food was served promptly. The dishes were delicious, the ingredients were fresh, and the portions were generous. Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely come back again!“

“I was surprised by the large portion sizes. The waitress made great recommendations! Everything looks great, tastes great and this is a great go to spot I’ll go to whenever I am in town!“

“We got the nanjing roasted duck and beef noodle soup here, and they were both very delicious! I would definitely come back here again. The roast duck was cut well, and its skin was very crispy. The sauce was special and complemented the duck well. I can see why this was highly recommended here. As for the beef noodle soup, it was on the sweeter side, and the beef tasted like it was red braised. If we get the same next time, we definitely need to get some plain rice to balance the saltiness and sweetness.“

“Came here for a casual date night on a Friday. Place was pretty empty for a Friday which meant we got seated right away, and staff was friendly throughout. Portions run small so plan to order more than you think you need. Still a great value. For the food itself:

The Dan Dan noodles are the move. Oily, salty, spicy, and the Sichuan peppercorns actually numb your face and stick around. Makes sense they're the most popular thing on the menu.

Chicken xiao long bao were good but the broth inside was weak compared to other places I've had them. Still good though.

Chicken potstickers were well executed, good crisp on the bottom, but nothing standout about them.

Sweet and sour cucumber was a solid starter and looked nice, but the slices were too thick to actually be able to rip out.

The egg fried rice is really good. Oilier than most but that's exactly why it works.“

“good place，“

“Great staff my friends often come here to get food and the workers are really kind and always greet them. It gives the sense of community and they genuinely love doing their jobs. I recently went for the first time and ordered their teriyaki chicken bowl. It’s really affordable and it taste good and there’s a lot of protein in it. Fast service, friendly staff.“

“Food is nice and their tomato soup is my kid’s favourite. Their staff is friendly too.“

“Went with a group of 10+ people for a weekday lunch in this restaurant. As a start, we ordered the popular Chinese tea smoked duck and the honey walnut shrimp among others (spicy dishes were mostly avoided as most of us are not comfortable with eating spicy stuff). Service provided was impeccable and the restaurant atmosphere was also nice and quiet. However, the quality of the dishes did not quite match the other two areas mentioned above. Besides the smoked duck dish that was great, the consensus among some of us at my table was that the dishes were a bit too salty and oily. Also, the portion sizes that came with the meat dishes being served were barely sufficient for our table of 8-9 people (did not get feedback from the other table occupants). Nevertheless, the manager prepared a special fish dish that was not found on the menu along with some cultural explanation associated with eating this fish dish which left a favorable impression among the group of us. Thus, this helped to bump up the rating for the standard of the food being served.“

“The food was absolutely delicious—we really enjoyed it and will definitely be back to try more. Everything tasted great. The only small suggestion would be to add a napkin dispenser on the tables, which would make the experience even better.“

“We love how fresh these buns are manually made. They are delicious with a few different interesting flavors. The spicy mince pork and tofu buns are our favorite. It still tastes good the day after. It may seem pricy, but the portion of each order is large, so it's totally worth the money. Only gets 4 stars from me because the frozen wonton have so little meat. They tasted great though, but not much filling at all. Generally, we're happy with the food and the super fast service. Definitely come back for more bao buns, but probably not the wonton.“

“The soap was very tasty, it had a lot of flavor and wasn't too salty. The noodles were great as well, they were long and chewy. There was also a good amount of meat and vegs as well. One bowl of soap coated me around 20 dollars before tip and they only took cash.“

“Pretty great rolls here at KAI Japanese Restaurant. Had their chicken bento as well which was fine, a bit better then some places honestly but their scallop roll was fantastic.

Pricing wise their about what you expect for a Japanese restaurant in the area so worth a try for sure.“

“My go-to Thai restaurant! So yummy and such hospitable service 😊😊“

“Pro: Food was actually very good! my mother in law, husband, kids, father in law all love it!
if you can eat spicy, I recommend the spicy seafood jiang jiang noodle.
Con: Music was very very loud, not suitable for kids or babies.“

“Fugetsu is a world wide chain of okonomiyaki. In fact, Rokko/Fugetsu has the first location of Fugetsu in the whole US.

Always a good vibe here and possibly the only place to get okonomiyaki in the Bay Area like they do it in Japan. Huge menu and drink selection with the shared Rokko and Fugetsu menu. I like the okonomiyaki sampler a ton as well. Portions are huge for this dish and everything else on the menu.“

“Never had Uyghur cuisine before, and I'm sorry I waited this long. Absolutely delicious. Ordered the samsas appetizer (one chicken, one beef). Flaky, buttery pastry goodness wrapped around well seasoned meats.
For my entree I went with the lagham noodles and they did not disappoint. The noodles were so good, I would eat a bowl of them alone. Great flavorful dish. Definitely will come back here every time I'm in town on business.“

“Friendly owner & employees. Clean & quiet“

“Have been living in San Carlos for a while and only just tried Yan’s Garden tonight. NOW MY NEE FAVORITE PLACE! Food was excellent. Everything was hot and fresh, flavors were so good, service was great! Our favorite was the dry pot pork ribs!“

“We definitely recommend Timog Restaurant! Laid back atmosphere and nice ambiance. We had their squid appetizer, bangus sisig, fried lumpia, grilled bangus, kare2 volcano and the humongous todo na halo2. The servings were generous and the staff were Uber friendly. Had a wonderful time! A must visit and will be back to try out their other food. Panalo baby! Taralets punta n rin kau! 😊👍🙌👏🍽️“

“Pretty good. I've been to teriyaki madness a bunch in Las Vegas and I feel like there used to be more tofu in my junior bowl. I also think that the teriyaki sauce has been a bit watered down unfortunately. It's definitely more expensive than in Vegas.... Five more dollars a bowl.“

“Very good rice noodles！A large portion of food, I have a light taste and my mom prefers more flavor， I ordered the mushrooms and she got the tomato beef, we both are very satisfied the noodles. Staffs are very friendly, they call us immediately when they found my mom left her hat in the restaurant. Very good service!“

“Pure good hongkonger canteen. Love it!“

“Vi at Fremont Pho Ha Noi was super sweet, she constantly checked on us, and sensed that we prefer spicier sauce as South Asians, she asked whether we would like to have a spicy sauce and we just said yes unanimously! Small things like these make a big difference. And also she asked me whether I'd like ketchup with my chips, and that's super sweet of her. She made everything better about this place. Vi, hope to see you again when we visit the restaurant again!!“

“The food is very testy and the service is very nice.“

“Best Tempura donburi in the Bay Area!! You can always request to have Tempura lunch/dinner instead of donburi too!“
