Restaurants in Mountain View

“Had an amazing experience at this omakase place in Mountain View. The servers and chefs are super welcoming when you walk in! If you here for a celebration or treating yourself to a nice meal, you need to get the omakase tasting menu! The fish was so fresh and melts in your mouth!!! I really like their chawanmushi (steam egg with seafood) , it was so light and flavorful. I recommend this spot for Omakase! :)”

“Just happened upon Paper Platez, so very glad we did!! Food was phenomenal service was great. It was fun talking to the owners.”

“Best place for pastries and bread in town. Nothing fancy, just great pastries.”

“Got a burrito was really good. Our server , Sylvia recommended a margarita…it was great. So…great food, great drinks and great service.”

“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.”

“Every time I visit GK Pastry in Mountain View, I usually get the jalapeño cheddar bread (so satisfyingly good, toasted or not), but this time I tried the tomato cheddar bread—crunchy exterior, soft and chewy interior. Awesome toasted. My other go-to is the chocolate jar cake. The chocolate they use is delicious, not too sweet. This time I had the mixberry jar cake. A nice, change-up. Never disappointed. Definitely try and support this local bakery! They opened a new location in Los Altos, too.”

“Pricey. But very high-quality. Had a CHICKEN CHOLULA, very tasty, a little bit spicy, enjoyed it. If you get the clam chowder (which is great), they’ll give you toasted pieces of sourdough with it. But if you rather have soft instead of toasted pieces of sourdough, just ask them.”

“Everest Special Chicken Chowmein is my favorite dish here! It’s packed with veggies, perfectly cooked noodles, and flavorful chicken. Portion size is great for the price.”

“Everything was great. The brown sugar boba milk tea and oolong teas are very constant and exceptionally delicious. Hands down. With the recent popularity of the shop the wait times are sometimes a bit long, but the online pre-ordering is really convenient.”

“Great Desi Pizza! Highly recommend 🙂”

“The experience of dining there was next level. From start to finish they have perfected the dining experience. Food, staff, and ambiance was five star!”

“this is the best deli ever. all the food is good”

“Chicken skewer with the cauliflower side and muhuara(?) dip. So good!

All the eggplant dips in the sampler was good, maybe the chunky one was the best”

“This is our go to spot when we are in town for an amazing ice cream I would recommend this place to everyone if you’re with the family , traveling by yourself or taking someone special . The staff is great it’s always clean and the service is wonderful! Just a great all around pick for a delicious dessert spot !🍨”

“Indoor seating has reopened. Always the best coffee in town, by far!”

“Pizza calzone was amazing! The desserts were so delicious 😋.”

“delicious tacos and friendly staff. ☺️”

“Come by once a week. Really love Rose black tea latte, taro green milk tea, mango green milk tea earl grey milk tea. Especially their rainbow and mango boba. Highly recommended!! I loooooooove!”

“This is one of my favorite to go places to get lunch, they have really nice staff and are very friendly. I usually get tacos but they have a variety of Mexican food. 100% recommend stopping by if you’re in Mountain View.”

“My daughter loved her matcha with brown sugar boba. She mentioned she requested lighter on sugar and that it was too what she expected and was not too sweet. She would revisit to try other options.”

“great place and nice food”

“Food truck right off El Camino which was parked near a slightly sus liquor store. The food came out very fast, but they did forget the extra grilled onions for my friends burrito. We got the Chez burrito - the meat was delicious and cooked inna way that made it feel caramelized almost. It is very filling too, and I was stuffed on half. My friend got the veggie quesadillas and liked it. Overall, it wasnt the best food I’ve ever had, but it was a solid choice.”

“The food was incredible. I wanted to order almost everything on the menu. So will have to come back at least couple more times to try everything to look good and we couldn’t order in one night. Our old fashion cocktail and blackberry Mojito were perfect. And I can’t say enough about considerate, professional service.”

“The services is always good! the burger was fine.”

“Get the Diablo Chicken! You won’t regret it. Not too spicy but super savory!”

“Steins is a great restaurant with a wide beer selection! They also sponsor the annual MV Oktoberfest!”

“Hands down the best bakery in Mountain View area”

“Have been going to this place lately. Fresh and delicious. The price is pretty good for 1 combo with sides.”

“Been going here my whole life. We know the family and are very close. Amazing food, amazing service, amazing atmosphere.”

“I've been coming here for twenty years!! Always the best food , best staff , drinks and perfect location DT Mountain View. Love this spot! #highlyrecommend”

“Th food here is really good. I don’t think I can eat Chinese style food anywhere else without feeling bad. This is so delicious I don’t know how they make it so good.”

“Absolutely phenomenal service and quality for our corporate event that we hosted in a clinic. Allan and Minoo were very responsive and helpful in planning and executing the catering. They went above and beyond in making sure we had enough food, and everything was set up perfectly to make sure the food was hot by the time we served it. Thank you for making our event so memorable!”

“Handmade noodles and dumpling. Best siu Mai in the south bay. Everything we ate was very tasty. You cant beat the prices. My new favorite dumpling and handmade noodle get away. Check it out. You won't be disappointed. Beef noodle is on point if you cant decide where to start”

“Excellent food, bier selection, and outdoor seating! Traditional fare is fab as is the fish & chips.”

“Angus beef - Generous portion. Good quality. Actually pretty good deal.

Veggie combo - We were disappointed they didn't replace the veggie that we didn't like. Because it was part of the elite freebie, we got it anyway but I wouldn't order it if I come here myself. The yellow corn was very sweet.

Pork - good portion, good quality

Squid - I was very impressed with it. Taste really good if you like seafood.

Soup base - Disappointed that a few were out of stock. The numb spicy I didn't like. It's very spicy which is fine but it lacks flavor. I think if they use herbal or other soup base or just adding salt will improve the taste a lot better.

The herbal soup was very flavorful. Loved it! But a bit salty.”

“Wow! What an experience! This is a truly special bar.

I walked in as someone who didn’t like red wine, and left as a true convert after being guided to exceptional wines, by the extremely knowledgeable owner Manny. Every wine Manny suggested absolutely hit the mark, with my two favourites being a red 2021 Koncha & Co sweet Saperavi from Georgia, and a white Koncha & Co Kisi.

The atmosphere is really cosy and welcoming. Hours will disappear here as it’s so relaxing.

Highly recommend and will be back next weekend!

Oh and the cheese board was Amazing too.”

“Biked over from our hotel and grabbed a table without waiting on a Saturday evening. Plenty of tables inside, good lighting, and nice staff. Large sushi roll menu. We started with the spicy edamame and it was great, to an addicting point. I got the monster roll and the spicy hamachi. Good quality fish, rice was solid, and the ingredients tasted fresh. Solid spot for sushi.”

“The Doppio Zero Pizza will change your life!”

“Katsu is a refined, intimate omakase experience that redefines what it means to dine with intention. With only eight seats at the chef's counter, the chef-owner, Katsu Maruyama, treats everyone as a special guest.
The omakase menu evolves with the seasons; the meal's pacing is thoughtful, allowing diners to savor each bite while engaging with Chef Katsu, who shares insights into his techniques and ingredients. The fish is incredibly fresh (often flown in from Japan), and the rice is perfectly seasoned.
The atmosphere is calm and minimalist, allowing you to focus entirely on the food.”

“Really really good BBQ meat, tasty, tender, loved it. The service was good too.
Great portion and it was priced reasonably.
Would 100% visit again!”

“Amazing shrimp quesidilla highly recommend this fabulous place on Castro St Mountain View”

“Einfach top. Immer wieder ein Besuch wert.👍”

“On Friday I’ve ordered 2 pizzas and it took THREE hours to deliver them. I used to be a happy regular customer, but not anymore.

Edit: The manager called me, apologized, and I got 2 pizzas for free. Back to 5 stars”

“In July, I placed a large catering order through DoorDash for our company because we absolutely love Mendocino Farms. Unfortunately, the order was unexpectedly cancelled the night before our Board of Directors meeting, which was incredibly stressful.

Thankfully, General Manager Adam Rivera came to the rescue! He personally took my order the next morning and had everything prepared and ready to go within just three hours. His professionalism, responsiveness, and outstanding customer service completely turned the situation around—I went from stressed out to doing a happy dance!

On top of that, the food was fresh, delicious, and a huge hit with our team. A big thank you to Adam and Mendocino Farms team for going above and beyond—you truly saved the day!”

“Las pizzas están bien ricas”

“This spot is definitely one of the best around! The drive-thru moves smoothly, even during those late-night cravings. Every time I’ve come through, the customer service has been top-notch, friendly and efficient. As for the food, it’s always been on point. Never once had to return anything or toss it out,
now that’s saying something!”

“They have wall outlets and nice chairs! Customers were happy about the free $9 meal we gave them today”

“This is my favorite boba! My go to is earl Grey milk tea with boba and herbal jelly and I find it's one of the only places that offer that flavor!!! I also love the seating and I get the popcorn chicken less spice and that is also very good!☃️”

“este es lo mejor de lo que probado la recomiendo por editor de facebook el bagabundo i ueces el cobi 19 i Rigoberto Muñoz ochoa ide las páginas del amor de mi vid”

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

“Delicious! I had a super burrito asada which was very flavorful. My wife had pigs ear and beef tongue tacos which she enjoyed even more than my burrito. Excellent salsas, pickled jalapeños, carrots and red onions.
No place to sit, so we grabbed our order and went to a nearby park.”

“Great sushi! Must get the omakase nigiri or Toyosu special!”

“friendly staff, monstrous upon great broth”

“Food is good but restaurant is very small. Few tables and small space. Each table is close to another. For noodles, it has large portion and if you order vegetarian noodles, there is a lot of bok choy in it.”

“Modern elegance combined with a cozy atmosphere, it is a great place to meet people or hashing out ideas!The cappuccino I ordered was expertly prepared, with a creamy foam and a rich, robust espresso base. What truly set it apart, however, was its temperature—served just right, it provided a satisfying warmth without being scalding.”

“grilled cheese/ with veggies”

“My husband got my vegan mango birthday cake from Mr. Cake and it was the best vegan cake I ever had !!
Light, fluffy, moist, decadent and so fresh!
Thank you so much for my yummy cake.”

“Lowest priced taco truck in Mountain View. Fast service, accept Zelle and major credit cards. Accept phone orders, great tasting food. As of 7/3/2025, they moved locations and are now near the corner of Latham St. and Showers Dr. Across from Target and DMV.”

“My Facebook post: "There are many places I can get coffee to start my day, but few with quality that meets the need of the soul 😋"”

“Great food at reasonable prices..great selection..friendly folks..”

“This is a solid dim sum place with good food overall. Prices were fair, except for the pan fried bao with translucent skins, which were way overpriced. We enjoyed the shrimp chang fen and the Chinese broccoli. The har gow had nice chewy skins, but the filling inside was only so-so. I was not a huge fan of the sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaves because the filling was made with ground meat instead of whole pieces. The staff were efficient and friendly. We enjoyed choosing our food from the roving dim sum carts. I ordered shou mei tea, which tasted fine.”

“Zareen’s is my go-to place for a great cup of chai. I also love their masala fries and mango lassi — always tasty and fresh. Definitely a reliable spot for quick, flavourful snacks.”

“CASH ONLY SERVICE! Classic Hong Kong bakery with all of the classic baked goods made by the owner who has been here for MANY years. The lemon cake is moist and tasty! Almond cookies have that familiar flavor and crunch. The red bean sesame balls are my favorite!”

“Karaoke with KJ Mallory Every Wednesday night from 9pm-1am.”

“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.”

“Fresh air and warm . Food was awesome and they give you yours moneys worth”

“I’m not usually that kind of person that likes to leave reviews!! But this place is awesome �!! Great food, clean place, third time here and will definitely come back whenever I’m in the area .”

“Very delicious and tasty food. One should try it once.”

“Joy Sushi is the best sushi restaurant in Mountain View and beyond. The fish is the freshest, food is delicious and inventive, and the owners are so lovely and welcoming. Every time we go there it’s a treat. The sushi plates are as beautiful as they are delicious!”

“Amazing! Lovely bagels and great customer service!”

“Our family went to the downtown MV Pokéworks on Friday afternoon to do take out and were delighted to find this location on Castro Street nicely blocked off, shaded, with ample clean and widely spaced seating if you want to dine-outside. Really highly recommend this location of Pokeworks - you can order&pay online and the manager of this location is meticulous about safety and YUMMY food. They even have the Disneyland DoleWhip for dessert 🤤.”

“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!”

“We love this local gem and we always try to support them.
Our experiences have always been wonderful.

I do want to point out that I saw an additional “Operations Fee” surcharge of 5% levied on my bill. I personally think this is poor taste and reflects badly on the Management who should be able to run a profitable business with any and all “operational cost” built into their financial models.
You might as well have labeled this “charitable contribution “ or “donation”, or just raise your prices by 5%.”

“This place is great! Wonderful old school pizza, reasonable price.

Also on of the last paces that does try to browbeat you into paying a tip for take out.”

“Criminally underrated spot. I could gatekeep...but the owner is nice, food is fire, and he def deserves more business. Just park on the streetside and you should be good”

“Solid fried chicken, was very juicy and the fries and biscuit were amazing. I opted for the white meat and shrimp combo, I'd probably skip the shrimp next time (they were good but it was so much food), think the meal and a drink was 27 and change.

Will definitely be back, don't suggest eating inside though it's a bit small and very warm inside.”

“O’Malley's Sports Pub has the kind of vibe where you can just kick back and relax. Plenty of TVs, so no matter where you sit you won’t miss a play, and the atmosphere is friendly without being over the top. The drinks are solid, the food hits the spot, and it feels like the kind of place you can hang with friends for hours. Definitely a go-to spot when you want good pub energy without any fuss.”

“I love this place so much, I cone very often, especially when I work full shifts because my job is very close to the point I just walk to it.
Every time, no matter the circumstances food is great and so is the service.
On Tuesday I called for a pickup order at 3:05 and without any hesitation they filled it and had it ready so fast, food was warm and just delicious. They close at 3:30 so they could have easily told me no, or just could have been not the happiest, but the complete opposite! They are always happy, very friendly as well. I love this truck so much, and you guys are very genuine, humble people. Thank you for always making a great meal, and keeping a smile on your face! You guys are the best! Have a good day :)

Btw I have not had a bad meal at all here! Everything is so good!”

“Great, friendly service! Food was yummy too!”

“They ran out of beer and the waiter just ran down the street to get more! Great service!”

“my first time trying their honey lavender coffee and I love it. I love the ambience and their succulent decor”

“Tomar un café y rentar un bote”

“son muy ricos los helados 😋”

“This place is a neighborhood gem! We keep coming back to Pho Avenue for its wonderfully fresh and flavorful food in a relaxed, casual setting. The staff is always so welcoming (Vin and Lisa, in particular, are great!), which makes every visit a pleasure.

A huge plus is their dedicated vegetarian menu section, with plenty of delicious and vegan-friendly choices. My go-to order is the #17 Vermicelli Noodle with Tofu. Pro tip: For a little extra, I swap the fried egg roll for their amazing vegetarian summer rolls.

If you’re craving something more spicy, try the #16. White Rice - Chilli Lemongrass Tofu Spicy.

Just a heads-up: parking in the area can be tricky during peak lunch times, but it's always been worth the effort for us. Highly recommend!”

“A delightful find in Mountain View - local favorite boba place that has won Best of Mountain View awards several years in a row. Bobas are super soft and chewy! I would like my Hazelnut milk tea with stronger tea flavor and my husband’s Dark Plum smoothie to be slightly sweeter at 50% sweet. Not too many sweetness levels in some drinks - it’s either 100% or 50%, prices more reasonable than other boba places.”

“The vintage DragonBallZ sodas made my day!! The service was fast & the 15min wait for spring rolls was WORTH IT—everything was delicious and they made us smile the whole time. What a neighborhood treasure!

Vegetarian options: spring rolls, egg rolls, & a veg/vegan banh mi option!

Dietary restrictions: Great vegan & vegetarian options!

Kid-friendliness: Check out the anime-themed sodas for the kids!

Wheelchair accessibility: Very accessible!”

“I went there with friends and thought the owner gaby was outstanding her service impeccable we need to go back i think is new place for her but I know it's going to be amazing”

“very great service, one of the best I had, will repeat”

“A true hidden gem in Mountain View. We love coming here for our Saturday morning bagel fix. The bagels are made in-house and have a fantastic texture, with some unique flavors like Swiss cheese, spinach, and jalapeño. Their homemade cream cheese is also a must-try. I'm a big fan of their Vietnamese coffee—it's got a unique blend that's unlike anywhere else. The place is simple but spotlessly clean, and the staff always wears masks. Just remember, there's no seating; it's takeout only.”

“Fantastic bar with solid food options and one of the best atmospheres around. Both bar tenders were superb and they had a great selection of Irish and US based whiskeys.

Be sure to bring quarters for the pool table and they run half price whiskey specials to watch out for!”

“These guys are amazing! They catered my daughter’s graduation party and it was delicious! They were very helpful, and they did everything from set up to cleanup! Thank you!!!”

“Things have changed a bit recently! We loved our visit to the course last week! Fairways were mowed beautifully, the greens were impeccably smooth and fast... and the deli made an awesome, thick and juicy burger with fries! Of course I had to make a few purchases at the Pro Shop also... nice merch! I can't say enough about the enjoyable atmosphere, and friendly service from everyone... Thank you for a very happy day on the Course!”

“Been going here my whole life. We know the family and are very close. Amazing food, amazing service, amazing atmosphere.”

“Have been going to this place lately. Fresh and delicious. The price is pretty good for 1 combo with sides.”

“great dancing, good options for all levels of dancing, friendly crow however, no live DJ and music tents to be repetitive with the list they have. You can memorize some songs after a while.”

“Just happened upon Paper Platez, so very glad we did!! Food was phenomenal service was great. It was fun talking to the owners.”

“We had the most amazing dinner at the restaurant. We were there all weekend. The staff is amazing. The food is out of this world. If you are in the area, you must stop there thank you. I’ve never eaten such an amazing pasta dish and I love Italian food and you guys nailed it and let’s not even start with the lamb chops. Omg. I need to come back again soon.”

“my first time trying their honey lavender coffee and I love it. I love the ambience and their succulent decor”

“great eggs Benedict, great service. lunch on the patio 😆”

“Everything was great. The brown sugar boba milk tea and oolong teas are very constant and exceptionally delicious. Hands down. With the recent popularity of the shop the wait times are sometimes a bit long, but the online pre-ordering is really convenient.”

“grilled cheese/ with veggies”

“Awesome ambience Nice place to hangout Cocktails were too gud”

“Their food is so good it should be illegal!”

“Foods always onpoint. Good service. Gets noisy on weekends but if you like to drink, it seems to be a happening place.”

“Very good food and nice people”

“The food and service was superb! There was even something for my picky daughter. The only disappointment was that only one dessert was offered, not even ice cream was available. It was a missed opportunity for the restaurant, in my opinion.”

“Staff was very nice. Food was delicious and loved that our waiter suggested changing mezcal to vodka since my friend and I were not found of mezcal but wanted to try the leeche cocktail. It was smooth and delicious.”

“The services is always good! the burger was fine.”

“Fresh air and warm . Food was awesome and they give you yours moneys worth”

“Within the South Bay Area I’d rank this place pretty good. They have a good balance of price, quantity, and quality. The quantity was good enough for the price. The quality and taste was decent but I have had better in Cupertino. If I lived next to this ramen place I’d probably go eat it regularly without complaints. I like the decor and atmosphere inside. Service is also good and fast.”

“Good daily special. Friendly staff good food.”

“I love Next Level!
It's great for playing board games with my little kids - they have a shelf that's sorted by age.
It's also great for advanced strategy games. The staff give great recommendations based on what you like to play. They have lots of newly released and independent games that I hadn't heard of but ended up loving!”

“If you love spicy food, this is definitely a nice restaurant to try! The food is delicious, and the staff are super friendly! The restaurant is very spacious and cozy.
Our family had a nice dinner here!”

“Ordered the gobi paratha and saag. Both were good. Gursimran and Yuvraj were both fantastic with their service. Love that they are using compostable take out containers which don't have the PFA lining inside. Bathroom was wet and bit mucky so that is something they should look into.”

“We ordered food from Idly Express Milpitas via Uber Eats. Excellent food quality, with good packaging. Everything tasted fresh! Thank you Idly Express!!”

“Great shanghainese place. Get the pan fried pork buns 5/5 and the xiao long bao soup dumplings 5/5. The place is small so expect to wait a few minutes during lunch. If you are looking for dumplings and in Mountain View this is the place to try.”

“Love the food and the atmosphere!”

“We tried this earlier in the week and were so impressed, we came back. Excellent service, quick and friendly. Delicious food and looking forward to returning again soon! 🇬🇷🧆🥙”

“Wonderful food! The meat in all the dishes was very flavorful, and I absolutely need to come again to try more. The noodles had great texture, the xiao long bao paired well with soy ginger sauce, the lamb kebab was crispy on the outside and tender inside, and I was gnawing on the lamb shank bone like a caveman by the end :)”

“This is an amazing new find! We ordered baked lobster, grilled lamb chop, Rainbow rolls, vegetable udon. Delicious!! And fast service! Healthy eating in pleasant clean atmosphere. Will go again.”

“The entire experience was amazing.The food was fresh and flavorful, and the drinks were perfectly, and the ambiance was simply. Our server, She was exceptionally attentive, friendly, and made the morning even more enjoyable with it thoughtful service. Almost forgot chilaquiles were so good!!!”

“The food was so good.

My husband and I made a quick lunch stop here and we weren’t sure what to order. He is vegetarian and I’m not. The owner was very sweet and accommodating. She offered us a couple of choices on and off menu so we could enjoy her food. It did not disappoint. Everything was flavorful and reminded us of our time in Mexico. We’ll definitely be back and maybe even bring some friends with us too. 😊”
