“A favorite neighborhood of my loves that I was being taken to for the first time. The wine we had was delicious, the bread had texture and flavor, the spread was spicy and interesting, the Caesar salad was fresh and well dressed, the chicken saltimbocca was beautifully plated and nicely balanced and the spumoni Bomba was the bomb. Our server was attentive while giving us privacy. For what we got the prices were fair and the spend per person was below was only because of the wine and dessert. A lovely place for a lovely meal for a lovely date.”

“Wine selection is good; sometimes they have better reds in stock, but their whites/roses are reliable. They’re the only semi upscale Modesto restaurant (and there aren’t many anymore; RIP Sundial) with a couple of decent vegan options. Service was excellent, parking surprisingly difficult. Best to make a reservation via OpenTable if you’re planning on a special occasion dinner. For some reason they close way early- 8pm.Vegetarian options: They do a good job offering several plant based dishes; will accommodate vegan requests plus there are clearly labeled vegan items on their menu.”

“You shouldn't compare this with the bay area hotpot or shabu shabu standard. It is the first and only one in Modesto, I give it one extra star because of this.The hot and spicy soup base is lack of flavor and it is not spicy enough.The beef slice is too lean and it tastes very dry, should add some fat to it. Tongs should be provided with the meat to prevent mixing raw meat with cooked food.The sauce bar and service are good. The revolving belt is fun and a good selection of veggies.”

“Hands down, really good Japanese sushi, better than any I've tried in the East Bay. We happened upon this place while looking for sushi on the way back home from Yosemite. I think it really makes all the difference when sushi restaurants are owned by actual Japanese people. The rice is better, theres a good balance between the rice and the filling, and they have real Japanese ingredients like gobo. The vegetable tempura and agadashi tofu were also delicious. Will definitely stop by again when we go out that way. The only thing, I'm surprised the prices were so steep for Modesto.”

“We went on Valentine’s Day. They had the staff but seemed overwhelmed with the crowd. They lost our reservation I booked online and called to verify my reservation the day before. They verified I had a reservation. I ended talking to the maitre’d and he said no reservations no problem seat you in back. I had a bad feeling. I told them that I verified my reservations but they said they couldn’t find it multiple times. Next time I’ll just call in ask who I talked to etc. anyways no appetizer they changed menu to a valentines menu with no bruschetta at all Italian restaurant shocker. We ordered it took over 45 mins to get food. I asked the waitress why she said we’re packed full in front. I have a feeling the front where I had a reservation was tended to first. The back was secondary. The food came the food was fantastic but no reason to be in a restaurant over 1 hour and a half . I understand it’s Valentine’s Day. They overbooked. After I paid I spoke to the maitre’d he apologized for the service and asked about the food I told him the food was great but I vented about the service. I worked for an upscale restaurant in the central coast and my brother a chef in an upscale restaurant in the Midwest. My concern don’t over book on a holiday. The food here is great one of the best in Modesto but service is spotty. My concern you gotta get the service back up to speed. I gotta thank Dave and the chef Jose for some great food! Thank you”

I didn't even see that on the menu. I had the ham, brie and fig panini. He decided not to say anything. Both sandwiches were good. It would be nice if they had a choice other than chips or "you can buy a salad".UPDATE 5/20//23Tonight we attended a charity event for Community Hospice. The decorations were amazing. The food was all excellent. The Greek style salad was very flavorful and I especially liked the feta and olives. The main course beef was cooked to perfection and so tender. The couscous and carrot souffle were tasty sides. The Baklava was not as gooey as I'm used to, but still quite tasty. I've also been here for a couple other events since the original lunchroom and definitely give the 5 stars for events.”

“I came in with family as they wanted to try this place. I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was! I'm always skeptical of Mexican food. I ordered their super tacos plate, which is something I would recommend. I ordered the carnitas, Al pastor and chorizo. Personally, the carnitas was the best tasting taco. The family ordered chicharrón and they really enjoyed it. Other family members ordered asada tacos. They said that they liked it, but it wasn't something they would get again as the carnitas was better tasting. A plate of BBQ ribs was ordered as well. They enjoyed the plate, however, they also ordered a super taco on the side. After that taco, they said that they would recommend the super tacos over the BBQ ribs. Even though the meat was super tender. The parking lot is small, and so is the inside. When we arrived, there wasn't many people eating in, however, there were several orders to go. It seems that most people go for their carnitas and the chicharrones. Would definitely be going back for more super tacos!”

My personal favorites so far are the ichiraku ramen, the bulgogi ramen, and the katsudon. The takoyaki are also always enjoyable but they can be a bit pricey so I've only had them twice. My girlfriend absolutely swears by the pork belly rice bowl and it's what she gets every timeEdit 2/22: still 5 star, everything they serve is awesome and the people working here are all very friendly and helpful.

“If you want to take a trip back to 25 years ago then Bam here you go. I first visited this Me n Ed's pizzeria in 2004. The decor has not changed one bit. It's extremely traditional Me n Ed's franchise. The inside has a distinct scent inside. Best I can describe it is an Asian mini mart. The pizza is awesome though. I ordered for takeout so there wasn't really a dine-in experience. The man making the pizza was extremely nice and friendly. The pizza was made perfectly. I also love the calzone here. There is a large one topping deal for 12.99. I'm not sure how a 2 topping is 19.99 though. However it was still awesome pizza.”

I'm usually not the biggest fan of butternut squash soup, but theirs had so much flavor. My friend got the short ribs and said they were amazing. The second time I got their falafel wrap and fries, the fries were really good. The wrap was food but not the best, I am grateful for veggie options, though. My friend got the chicken, with polenta and carrots, and the chicken looked extremely juicy. They said it was delicious. Our server was kind, informative and helpful.
