Sushi Jin 580 N Rengstorff Ave J, Mountain View Sushi Bar • $$
580 N Rengstorff Ave J, Mountain View

“Exquisite meal. For us, the $145 omakase experience was an extravagance, but we felt that we got our money's worth. The sushi portion included unusual fish we'd never had before. Most if not all the fish was flown in from Japan.”

The Extra Special Nigiri Sushi is what I get almost every time.Parking: If the nearby parking lot is full, I usually park at the parking garage across Castro. It's a short walk away.”

“By far the best tasting bbq in the Bay Area. Not only is the food great but the staff are ridiculously friendly. Gregory is the nicest guy. When we showed up towards the end of the day he went out of our way to accommodate our order even though they had run out of some of the popular meats and sides.”

3 Kingdoms Hot Pot 134B Castro St, Mountain View Hot Pot • $$$
134B Castro St, Mountain View

“Called on a Friday night and they happened to have a table for 5 available! Overall a very authentic experience - the hot pot flavors and ingredients are exactly what you would get in China (not Americanized at all). They also had a free sauce station which included side dishes! Like chicken feet. This also means the broth is quite spicy, as in "mild" is quite spicy already. We had a great time, and everything was delicious (except the tripe was not very fresh), and we finished the meal with free soft serve ice cream!”

“My daughter and I just dined at Chez TJ for the first time. We had heard such good things about Chef Stan's food and we were excited to try it. It was spectacular! What a fabulous evening we had. The ambiance was lovely, the staff was friendly and professional, and the food was the star. Each course was a combination of flavors and textures that were both beautiful and delicious. Only to be perfectly complemented by the wine pairing suggested by Ted, the excellent Sommelier. And those desserts. Wow! What a finish to an incredible meal. We ended our evening with a tour of the garden which looks lovely. We can't wait to come back in the summer months to enjoy that as well. Thank you Chez TJ for a wonderful experience!”

Ludwigs Biergarten Mountain View 383 Castro St, Mountain View Beer Gardens • $$
383 Castro St, Mountain View

“The quality of food here is excellent. The availability of some of the menu options also depends on whether you visit for lunch, dinner, or brunch. The dinner menu is a bit limited and I wish they added Weisswurst and Wiener Schnitzel (veal) back to the dinner menu. But overall, dining at Ludwig’s is a great experience. My favorites are the Jägerschnitzel and the Currywurst. They also have a great selection of beers, of course, and the cocktail options are great as well.Parking: Small parking lot in back of restaurant plus plenty of street parking near by”

“Very high quality fish with great portion sizes. I came here with a few friends and we were all very satisfied. I got the dinner combo with 2 orders of sashimi (16 pieces total) and the pieces were very big, fatty, and high quality. My friends got the sake don (also very high quality salmon) and the chicken katsu, which came with a mountain of chicken katsu and was great for the price. I will definitely be coming back as this is one of the best sushi restaurants I've been to in the bay area.”

Kistler is said to be the best Chardonnay in Napa, and is elegant with concentrated fruit flavor, fresh acidity, and minerality. It went well with sushi. I am proud that I was able to come up with a very fun pairing this time too.This wine is called a cult wine due to its popularity, low production volume, and difficulty in obtaining it! !Located in the Russian River Valley, Kistler’s Burgundian style Chardonnays have achieved a “Cult Chardonnay” status because of their traditional style and extraordinary, Grand Cru character.#winery trip #oyster trip #trip2024#cultwine”

“The namesake sushi, eighty-eight roll,was great and nicely presented with poke pieces on top. The regular rolls: spider, Philly, and Negihama had chewy seaweed (not a crispy bite) wrap and not as fun and tasty. The agedashi tofu was nice and the hot sake was generous. They were busy so they couldn't always check when we needed water or additional ginger to add flavor to sushi.”

They were both incredible.We opted to try their spanakopita, which in my opinion wasn't as good as others I've had. They come 2 to an order so that was a pleasant surprise. I would stick to the dips next time.”

Steins Beer Garden & Restaurant 895 Villa St, Mountain View New American • $$

“Great place for groups or just to hang out with a couple of friends. Recommend the patio when the weather is good.Service has always been on point and friendly. They have also offered good recommendations.Menu could use more vegan and vegetarian options. The couple they do have are good. Entrees are good but their apps are better. Particularly the pretzels, truffle fries, sliders and the sausage plate (which is practically a meal with 3 sausages, toasted bread, sauerkraut, and I think mashed potatoes).Desserts: the donuts take a while and most of our group really liked them. I just found them a little too sweet for my taste and preferred the crème brûlée. The chocolate cake was good but we wanted lava or something inside. Instead there was more chocolate outside on the plate. ?Parking: There are parking lots and street parking available fairly close to the restaurant. However, recommend do going early as it is downtown. I feel like I’ve been fairly lucky every time I’ve gone as I’m able to park in the lot behind the restaurant or find same block street parking fairly quickly, which I know is unusual.”
