“5-Star Review

Ramen Nagi is an amazing spot for ramen lovers! The ramen was rich, flavorful, and satisfying, with delicious toppings and perfectly cooked noodles. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was welcoming. Overall, a fantastic dining experience in Palo Alto. Definitely 5 stars—I’ll be coming back!“

“We stopped by to get some soup on a cold Friday night and I'm so glad that we did. The soup was absolutely delicious. The noodles brought up childhood memories of my grandma's homemade noodles. The broth was very tasty and there were plenty of vegetables. My boyfriend had steamed buns with pork, he like them a lot. Very reasonably priced. We'll be back.“

“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!!!“

“We always order the regular pulled noodles with option to get as much meat as fits in your palm! Great option for a full meal! Love the broth and noodles, if you need ask to bring your broth hot , because regular temp is always, as you would be eating it right away“

“friendly staff, monstrous upon great broth“

“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“

“I really enjoyed the flavor profile at this place.

You are greeted warmly upon arrival; the space is neither large nor tiny. It is an open-concept restaurant (you can see the kitchen), and the place is bright and clean.

You order via a QR code, and the food arrives at your table quickly.

The portions are neither too big nor too small; I find them just right—whether you're really hungry or want to take some leftovers home for later.

I will definitely be back to try more of the menu (honestly, everything looks spectacular).“

“Coming from a culture that is food-obssessed, this place has made its impression. It's just really hard to find a combination of perfectly made noodles with excellent flavor and el dente cook. Order the fried noodles and make sure to try other kinds of noodles. The more you try, the happier you'll be.“

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

“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。“

“Decent restaurant that is very quick with their service.

It felt like each dish tasted just about the same. The wontons and the spicy beef noddle tasted very similar in that the broth was the same. The dumpling and the beef weren’t season too much.

The pork knuckle rice was really good. I enjoyed that very much.“

“We love Burmese food. For years, if we wanted Burmese food, we would have to drive at least 30-40 min to SF or South Bay, so having Burma Spice in our neighborhood is a dream come true!

Burma Spice hosted our daughter's high school graduation luncheon on May 23rd and we couldn't have been happier! We had about 30 guests in a separate area in the back of the restaurant. Kham and Raymond were so nice and helpful in planning the menu for our gathering.

Everything was served family style. We ordered
- Tea Leaf Salad- the perfect ratio of fermented tea leaves and ingrediants.
- Samosas- light, crispy, and so flavorful
- Nan Gyi Thoke- the noodles were perfectly cooked, not mushy, and the curry was creamy and delightful.
- Basil Lemongrass Chicken- fresh basil, and lemongrass really made this dish a popular topic.
- Pumpkin Veggie- Nice ratio of pumpkin and other veggies, very hearty.
- Kebat Lamb- savory, packed full of rich spices, the onions add so much texture and flavor as well.
- Jasmine Rice

Plus plenty of yummy tropical cocktails for the adults.

They set up a little table for the cake, and some graduation items that we brought. They really went out of their way to make our celebration comfortable.

Everything was in generous portions, fresh and expertly prepared. My guests raved about the food and service. Some of my guests had never tried Burmese food before and now in their meal rotation.

We didn't realize that we had stretched into their rest period between lunch and dinner because they were so gracious about not rushing us.

I highly recommend Burma Spice in Redwood City for any meal or occasion. The restaurant is such a gem in our neighborhood and the service is friendly.“

“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!“

“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.“

“These were the best noodles I’ve ever had! I ordered chicken with pumpkin puree and my husband had clear broth beef noodles, and both were amazing. Staff were very friendly. Everything was served in less than 15 minutes though it was lunch time. The only thing were the portions - they were huge even for my husband ) if they had options of ordering half a portion that would be perfect 👌🏻“

“3 people less than $100, large portions“

“I had never been to a noodle house but my son brought me here. I was pleasantly surprised by his noodle dish. I've never been a at noodle fan but the noodles were so flavorful. I couldn't put my finger on it but it was so good!! Not too spicy, perfect blend of spices. I had the beef chow mein and it was absolutely perfect if you are craving chow mein. We are every last bit of everything.“

“My family and I got the fried chicken rice, pork ribs, and pork bun. It was amazing! The food cooked at a reasonable time. The server was excellent and came every time a question was needed. Delicious flavors! Would definitely come again (: I like how we also just needed to order on our phones, fast and easy.“

“Great sushi! My favorite is the crunchy spicy tuna roll. The staff is so incredibly friendly, kind and professional. They always provide great recommendations on which sushi to try. The service is quick and the food is incredibly tasty. Such a wonderful gem in the Palo Alto area!“

“The food was very good, although I was disappointed in the signature chicken rice. The chicken was the least exciting of anything on my plate - the sides were excellent. The chicken wasn't very flavorful and I've had many versions of chicken rice for comparison.
My son loved his brined lamb! That might be worth returning for.
Service was poor because my husband and son were almost finished eating before I got my chicken rice.
**Many gluten free options available!!“

“This has been our favorite udon spot for a while now. The only other spot we would consider competition is Udon Mugizo but we love this place a lot more. First, the noodles have better texture and their oxtail broth is perfectly seasoned. For appetizers, we really like their chicken karaage and their mackerel.

Their service is also really great. We have a 4 month old and he was clearly trying to sleep. Our server was kind enough to put lullaby music on for him and overall was just a really nice guy. I wish we got his name but it was one of our most memorable meals ever!“

“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’ve been coming to this place with my family for around 2 years now and it’s still my favorite. Their Liangpi dish is so delicious and I definitely recommend it. My favorite part about this noodle resturant is the rich flavor of the soups and sauces, it’s heavenly.“

“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.“

“Everything was delicious, especially the stinky tofu, pork intestine rice noodles, and lamb spine hot pot. The stinky tofu is the best I’ve had in the South Bay, and the seasoning on both the lamb spine hot pot and the rice noodles was just right. Highly recommend!“

“All the food we ordered is wonderful and tasty. The water is filtered. We had dumpling, baozi, Nanjing salty duck, smoked fish, chao-ma noddles, pork pickle fried rice. We loved them all, especially, dumpling and rice. The portion is large and price is lower than most in the bay area.“

“I recently started coming back again as they started their wine bar program. Food is always authentic and amazing but happy that they started opening later offering great wines for their wine bar. The owner even came by to offer some amazing wines! One of the few places that is open late in Menlo to hang out in.“

“pros: no service fee hence really good price. Product very fresh, for baozi and other stuff this is very important.

Cons: honestly baozi is very worth buying, other products they are delicious like noodles, but a little bit expensive comparing to the amount they provide.“

“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.“

“IMO the best chinese food place in downtown San Carlos - their sizzling rice soup, and sizzling eggplant vegetables are 😋. You can also do a Bubble tea takeout - do try their Mango yakult (no caffeine) and Thai iced tea. Staff is friendly.“

“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.“

“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.“

“good place，“

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

“Friendly owner & employees. Clean & quiet“

“Pure good hongkonger canteen. Love it!“

“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! 😊👍🙌👏🍽️“

“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.“

“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!“

“Big Bites is one of those rare spots that just gets it right. Both my daughter and I love the food here. Everything feels fresh, bright, and clean, from the flavors to the presentation.

Our go-to favorites are the chicken and veggie pho and the banh mi. The ingredients taste vibrant and thoughtfully prepared, and you can tell real care goes into every dish. I am especially looking forward to trying the curry next.

Beyond the food, the service is genuinely warm and friendly. You feel welcomed the moment you walk in, and that makes a big difference.

Highly recommend Big Bites if you are looking for fresh, comforting food made with heart.“

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

“This is my Vietnamese place (favorite) to go! Food is delicious!
I always order the #16 (pho) my son fried rice/shrimp and spring rolls
I like how nice they’re as well, they have people who speak spanish as well
I have been coming here since 2014 and I hope to be able to never stop coming to enjoy this amazing tasty food“

“I have tried the pho and beef stew at both the Fremont and the San Jose location, and while they were fine, neither really stood out to me.

The standout is the 1/2 chicken with crispy rice and a fried egg. When the Fremont location first opened, I felt the portion size was noticeably smaller than at the San Jose location. However, I returned about a week ago and was pleasantly surprised by how generous the serving had become. It’s easily large enough to share or take home for another meal.

The crispy rice had the perfect texture, the fried egg was jammy, and the chicken was flavored well. The sauce leans slightly sweeter than savory, but I found it worked really well.

To finish the meal, they served a complimentary slice of their green waffle. My mom and I enjoyed it so much that I asked if they sold them separately and ended up buying a whole one to go.

One thing to keep in mind is that this location closes between 2:00-5:00PM. As someone who prefers eating an early dinner, I’ve wanted to stop by several times only to realize they were closed, so plan accordingly.“

“*USP: Korean and Chinese food. Black bean noodles and an expansive menu covering all the usual Chinese food favorites.

*AMBIANCE: large restaurant, eclectic and funky ambiance. Felt like it was some place in Hong Kong or China.

*Food: good if not great for the most part. The chef seems to be very careful or forgetful with the usage of salt though.
*corn soup: 2.5/5: sweet and bland. There was not salt at all. No amount of chilli powder, salt or soy sauce helped redeem this dish.
*chicken chow mein- 4/5- favorite dish on the table for all of us. Chicken was soft and didn’t have a funky smell or taste. Noodles felt fresh. Dish was greasy though.
*fried rice-3.5/5- came with mushrooms, eggs and some other veggies. Very nondescript and safe, felt more like a side dish rather than main.
*deep fried chicken in hot pepper sauce:3.5/5- I was expecting some fire in this dish but this was unfortunately on the sweeter side as well. The chicken had a very crispy coating per description.
*black bean noodles-3.5/5 after loving the version in Paiks noodle, it was difficult for me to like the version here. It was decent though, noodles seemed fresh and had a good bounce. But the sauce felt too soy saucy to me.“

“A Canadian company I've been contracting with on a big event in Sunnyvale the past 2 years has held a dinner for all the employees and contractors at XLB Kitchen on one of our last nights together. We reserve the entire outdoor patio seating for our party and are treated to the most wonderful family-style meal! I learned last year to pace myself when they start bringing out the first couple of courses as the portions are huge and you'll want to try everything! Service is top notch, too!

My favorite dish is the marinated pork. OMG! Absolutely the best pork I have eaten in my life at any restaurant or cooked at home! Incredibly tender. Incredibly tasty. If you eat pork, you HAVE to try it!“
