I had the corn and tofu soup and also the basil eggplant and tofu. The basil eggplant in particular was delicious and it came with plenty of tofu. The brown sauce was really tasty.

Hong Kong Bakery 210 Castro St, Mountain View Bakery • $

“This is a great place to grab the baked BBQ pork buns that I know of in the Bay Area. I never really knew this place was here when I lived in the Bay 12 years ago until recently when I came to visit. The baked BBQ pork buns are a bit more on the salty side but it's still good nonetheless. I still think Won Kok in L.A's Chinatown is the standard in my opinion but this place is still good nonetheless. Yes it's true the prices are high and it is cash only. But considering the area and how much their lease, utilities and supplies costs are, i think the price for their goods are understandable. Plus I'd rather spend my money towards a small mom and pop shop as well. Overall they got good baked Chinese goods and I think it's worth a try if you're in the area and craving some baked BBQ pork buns.”

4.4 Superb176 Reviews

“A good Chinese restaurant with above average food. We tried the cabbage and pork boiled dumplings, the steamed pork soup dumplings, and the pan fried pork soup dumplings. The pan fried soup dumplings were the best – good flavor, crispy bottoms, and juicy soup inside. The boiled dumplings were only okay. I thought the pork filling for the boiled dumplings was a bit musky, and I found a piece of gristle in one dumpling. The steamed pork soup dumplings could have used more soup but were otherwise fine. We also ordered a side of cucumber salad, which was decent overall but a bit salty and garlicky. The service was brisk and professional. They brought us rice for no extra charge – a nice touch. We thought the atmosphere was pleasant overall, with warm lights and plants.”

The only drawback was that they have exactly 3 or 4 chairs at the bar looking out the window for dine-in. The staff was super accommodating. We ordered pizza not on the menu, and they responded, sure, no problem. The half BBQ chicken - half margherita large pizza was too much for 3 people. We had 2-3 slides left over. The jalapenos cheese sticks were a mini pizza with cheese and jalapenos: super spicy 🔥🥵 We concluded that 1 large pizza without the bread sticks would be perfect amount for 3 people.”

Pho Avenue 2500 West El Camino Real, Mountain View Vietnamese • $

“Best Pho in town!

It's been hard for us to find many restaurants that we love since moving here a couple years ago. But theres something athentic about this spot, from the family running the place to the little plastic spoon in the hot sauce.

We get the large #1 pho and share for two people. Summer rolls are yummy. And we haven't really seen fit to order much else. Pull into the tight little parking lot, walk in and get steered to a booth, where the owner will take your order. And next thing you know you're quickly served a piping hot bowl of delicious pho. Add the sides of your choice (no sprouts, a bunch of basil, and a dollop of that hot sauce does me right).

When you're done, walk up to the register and settle up. It's a no frills, but perfectly tailored experience.”

“Was excited to try Tony Gemignani’s “Apricot Fields” slice (exclusive to Mountain View), and he did not disappoint. Chalk up another winner that went great with our Cal-Italia, and the Wise Guy. A little Hot Honey and extra fig preserve allowed us to add a custom touch as each desired. Can’t even complain about the wait for a closer Slice House, because I know Tony Respects the Craft too much to rush any location before they are up to the highest standards. Bravo!”

“Quite good option for Shanghainese food in South Bay Area.
The Xiaolongbao has thin skins and juicy. The crab Xiaolongbao is not fishy.
Pan fried buns are juicy too. They have cute shape and are pretty. Not as greasy as the traditional Shanghai pan fried buns.
The fried green beans are umami and tasty so we have ordered twice.
The Shanghai salt pork w. vegetable rice is also a hit.
Sweet and sour pork ribs: the ribs are quickly fried to cooked so a bit tough. But the flavor is quite okay.
We like it a lot! It’s close to the neighborhood. Food is not pricy and has reliable good taste.”

“Il Fornaio as a chain is a favoured venue for casual family dinners and for special occasions. The Mountain View location especially is a frequent haunt for us since we live in the same neighbourhood. The restaurant is always busy and yet service is always prompt. We've come to know servers like Sanjeev and managers like Maninder personally and always feel very welcome. While we wish there were more veggie pasta options, their soups, salads, pizza and appetisers have become familiar and comfort food for us over the years. I have been dining at the Il Fornaio chain of restaurants for over a decade and I've always had a great experience.”

“This was my second visit to Hyderabad Dim Biriyani and to my surprise the food was so much better and well prepared. Our mutton curry was little undercooked but once we mentioned about it the owner right away took care of us. I wish if they can make their naan for $4.—-little bigger. Also they should give some extra napkins to the customers so that they don’t have to ask for every little thing. I will recommend you to go and enjoy the food. It’s always good to complaint to the owner/manager so that they can take care of you and rectify if there is something wrong. #papihanandy”

2026 Update:
I wrote my earlier review around the time the emergency COVID-19 pandemic crisis hit the globe in 2020-2021. I feel there's been so my changes challenges for American businesses and Americans since then. My Family and I went through a lot and my workplace also went through challenges and this restaurant like many others did too and sadly even more Recently I heard they had a robbery that damaged the restaurant interior. However, I'm happy to report how impressed and satisfied I was with my recent dine in experience. The restaurant interior has been remodeled upgraded made much more elegant and a nice new expanded specialty drink menu has been added with new fruit drinks like mango lasis. They play some hip cool songs on the TV DJ. The service by the professional prompt staff was excellent and detailed. I had the butter chicken and butter nan and basmati rice which was very flavorful tasty so rich creamy and yummy the butter naan was cooked Warm melty buttery crisp yet chewy and the plates looked visually good too. I Felt like I was dining as a King LOL. 😊 The only improvements I can think of is perhaps some additional cold drinks like lemon iced tea and lemonade maybe some juices like cranberry and pineapple. And a small positive comment it would be good to keep the hand sanitizers and hand soap regularly stocked when I went both were empty. My workplace EMT Labs would regularly order corporate take out lunches regularly from this restaurant starting over 10 years ago when this restaurant was newly opened in 2014 but the corporate lunches from here were stopped many years ago now as the EMT Labs owner felt the food here was too spicy though individual employees sometimes still continue to order from here. I got Married in 2017 and My Wife And I and my brother-in-law we all started dining here and getting take out a number of times from my early marriage time in 2017-19 and also more Recently with additional family members like our small child and with in-laws.

After eating here last week As a Single Guest for the first time in my Entire Life with the recent bright and comfortable elegant and pleasant and soooo good tasty Culinary experience I had On a Table for 1, I can recommend the renovated dine-in experience much more highly now, As I Can say it was the most satisfying fun enjoyable tasty good Peaceful Freeing happy Relaxing Pleasant Exciting Content positive even Clean experience I ever had with Himalayan Kitchen Restaurant. It was my Best experience with the Restaurant Yet! No offense meant to any of My Family members or any of my co-workers.

Thank You! All The Best! God Bless!”

Craftsman and Wolves 400 San Antonio Rd #4, Mountain View Bakery • $

“Stopped in for a quick caffeine fix and treat at Craftsman and Wolves in Mountain View and left satisfied overall. The latte was beautifully poured with excellent leaf art and rich flavor, and the wolf-themed cup was a fun touch. I went with the striking pink cherry-topped pastry — it looked Instagram-worthy with the glossy burgundy center, fresh cherry, and gold leaf, and tasted bright, fruity, and nicely balanced between sweet and tart.
The pastry case was full of creative, high-end looking options and the menu has solid variety (great sandwiches and yogurt bowls too). Service was efficient, though the space felt a bit tight during peak time. A polished spot for quality coffee and pastries — worth a visit if you're in the area.”

Crumbl 660B San Antonio Rd, Mountain View Bakery • $$

“Crumbl Cookies totally lived up to the hype for me. The first thing that stands out is the size—these cookies are huge, thick, and definitely made for sharing, although honestly I didn’t want to. I tried a few flavors, and each one felt rich, soft, and freshly baked, with that gooey center that makes you keep reaching for another bite. The rotating weekly menu is such a fun idea because it makes every visit feel different and gives you an excuse to come back. Some flavors were a little too sweet for my taste, especially with all the frosting and toppings, but if you love indulgent desserts, that’s part of the appeal. The pink box packaging is also cute and makes it feel like a treat even before you open it. Overall, Crumbl is more of a fun dessert experience than an everyday cookie stop—perfect for sharing with friends, family, or satisfying a serious sweet tooth craving.”

Boast coffee 846 Independence Ave, Mountain View Coffee Shops

“This is a mobile coffee truck that you can usually find parked in the same lot as Midwife and the Baker in Mountain View on select days of the week. I was lucky enough to catch them while visiting the bakery.

It’s a cute little setup, and I decided to try an iced mocha. The coffee was decent — good enough, though nothing particularly extraordinary or standout. They do offer a variety of drink options, along with some in-house syrups you can customize your drink with, which is a nice touch.

Overall, it’s worth checking out if you’re already in the area and looking for a quick coffee stop.”

Not only did they make sure it came out perfectly crispy this time, but they also threw in a free sauce AND left the sweetest handwritten note on my order slip. It's such a small thing that takes so little effort, but it means so much as a customer. it TRULY shows they actually read the notes and genuinely care about getting it right. This kind of above-and-beyond service is rare, especially with online orders where there's usually zero personal touch. You just earned a loyal regular. Thank you for making my day!”
