“They have lots of different options. For milk tea, my favorite is the Mango milk tea with boba. They also have the Icy, like a slushy. The mango is also great.Food wise, they don’t have lots of vegetarian options but everything else is great.You can order on Uber eats or in store, or you can call them. They are very fast.For the drinks you can ask for them to be caffeine free.Vegetarian options: Not too many vegetarian food options but the drinks are all vegetarian.Kid-friendliness: They are very kid-friendly. Lots of kids from schools nearby come.“
“Today we visited our beloved restaurant Din Tai Fung again. Whether in Taiwan or the United States, its consistent high-quality service remains the same. Surprisingly, the American branches have maintained the same standard, and the young service team is courteous and attentive. The food is as delicious as ever, and every time I visit, I look forward to it. It is indeed a place worth returning to again and again. I ate Xiao Long Bao today, and the fried tofu was quite delicious along with the kale and pork ribs and egg fried rice. It's a pity that the food intake is limited, otherwise I should have ordered more.“
“Love their noodles - all 3 types are chewy and delicious! I am a non-spicy eater and appreciate I can get lots of flavor and it isn’t lost with the non-spicy option. I enjoy both the regular soup as well as the tomato one!We also like their appetizer plates where we can pick our favorites… and the fried pork too!“
“Just got back from Taiwan and was missing my 飯團。 I happened to be in Redwood City so found the place on Google. I was very surprised to find a food establishment that is between all these auto collision and hauling businesses. I wasn’t sure I was going into the right place because nowhere on the façade did it say it was called taiwanese eats. Luckily, someone appeared at the window right away and told me that I needed to order first. I ordered two rice burritos for $7 each and could only finish one. The glutenous rice was delicious and the fish (魚鬆） and boiled egg inside was excellent as well. I will definitely be going back when I’m in the area. Lucky for me, I have another rice burrito to eat later tonight.“
“We tried the A2 Taiwanese chicken cutlet and A3 basil popcorn chicken. Both hit the spot and had a delightfully crunchy exterior which contrasted the flavorful, juicy chicken inside. I've been missing Taiwan and this fulfilled my craving for street food. I thought $12.28 was a bit pricey for the chicken cutlet, but they have large portions and cut it up in a box for you so it's easy to eat. I'll definitely be back for more.“
“I walked in here shortly after they opened on a weekday and was warmly greeted by the staff in Mandarin. I honestly felt like I was transported to a breakfast cafe in Taiwan - love it! We ordered breakfast to go: Taro veggie sung sando ($8.75) Cheese crepe ($8) Signature sando ($5.5) Soy milk black tea ($4.50; got a $0.50 discount for ordering with a meal) The taro veggie sung was packed between slices of soft bread with the crusts cut off. I've had veggie sung before, but not with taro paste, so it was a nice combo of savory and sweet. I did wish it had a little bit more flavor, but overall, not bad. The cheese crepe is not your traditional French crepe. It's a Taiwanese-style crepe and is clearly indicated on the menu as such. All the crepes come filled with egg and green onion as a base. It's savory and came with a sauce to douse over it. I added some hot spot and it was delicious! Reminded me of breakfasts my mom would prepare for me as a kid. Signature sandwich comes with cucumber, ham, egg, and a pork patty. My boyfriend inhaled it and although he seemed to think it's nothing special, it's a quick and filling meal. I ordered the soy milk black tea without any sugar, and although I appreciated that I was able to do so, the ratio of tea to soy milk tasted off. It was more black tea than soy milk, so in hindsight, I should have just stuck to plain soy milk. Regardless, would definitely come back if I was in the area and wanted a quick bite!“
“The food here is good and very affordable compared to other restaurants. Service was good and fast. Atmosphere was very nice. Dumplings, potstickers, and drunk chicken were 10/10. Eggplant (in pork sauce?) and three pot chicken were good but very oily.All that for $65… in this economy that’s a steal. 10/10 would recommend.“
“To be honest it's a bit uncomfortable to navigate if you don't know Chinese (yes I know "Chinese" isnt just one singular spoken language) BUT I'll go through a million more awkward pointing and asking for misheard directions over the noise of dinner rush for the garlic eggplant and the mustard green stir fry. Which was described as bitter but I don't know why because it really isn't. King of edible leaves his majesty the mustard green.“
“Take it from a Hong Kong kid...these are seriously legit zongzi that taste just like the cantonese ones I grew up with. Definitely above your typical market rates, but I promise these will be true to the OG flavors. It's mostly a food pick-up type of service where you walk up to a shared space and ring a doorbell to have an aunty bring out your stuff.Online ordering was how I did it, but you can also call/text an order over the phone. The ordering process is a bit unusual in that you have to plan these ahead of time (by about 3-days or so depending on time of week) then wait for a confirmation text on the day of. Unfortunately, impromptu cravings must likely be held at bay. Sometimes you can short-notice stuff if they have leftovers, but that's defintely a gamble. With either planning or luck, you'll then walk off with a hefty bag of deliciousness. You can have the option of getting them freshly cooked or frozen (for stocking up).The zongzi are well packaged and tightly wrapped with color-codings to the string to separate the fillings from each other. It's a bit cryptic, but you'll notice those correspond with the pictures on their ordering site. Descriptions of the fillings are true to their amount and pretty well packed with goodness (none of the mostly-rice-zongzi here).After cracking the first one open and taking my first bite, it was like that Ratatouille moment with Anton having flashbacks to his childhood (but like the Chinese version). Filled with delicious aromas and rich succulent glory, with not a dry spot in (culinary) sight. If that hasn't convinced you to at least try these buggers, I'm not sure what will!“
“Great little place for Taiwanese food in Palo Alto. Service was great and atmosphere is simple, but fine. Best, however, is the food. I had the Taiwanese sausage fried rice, which was quite solid, and the Salt & Pepper pork chops, which were amazing! The best I've had outside of China. Prices are reasonable as well and they have those jumbo bottles of Taiwan beer. Glad I tried this place.“
“Red Hot Wok offers a fiery dining experience with lightning-fast service. The restaurant buzzes with energy and the food arrives nice and hot.The flavors are enticing enough to warrant repeat visits. Whether you want a dish that is sweet, spicy, savory, vegetarian, or something new, this menu has something for you.The only downside is the slightly small space, but I would say it adds to the atmosphere. Worth the visit if you are in the area!“
“O2Valley is where I go to curb the desire for Taiwanese food. The huge portions ensure that you'll never leave hungry, and the rotating selection of side dishes makes each return visit even more exciting. There's lots on the menu to try, so I'll definitely be coming back!“
“This a review of the Taiwanese Eats, part of a take out only place near RWC Costco. The purple rice Fan Tuan are great and the pig’s ears are problem the best in the Bay Area the at they slice it thin and with great sauce. The bento boxes are decent, but order from here for the fan tuan and Pg’s ears! Negligible parking, you just pick up so most people just do a quick wait on the street.“
“Great Taiwanese dim sum location, very delicious.Beef noodle soup ? - the handmade noodles were bouncy (in a good way) and the meat was tender. I liked the bits of tendon on the end.The XLB (A1 and A13) were great.Fairly large seating area, a variety of table sizes. I prefer the tables since the booths didn't look very comfortable. It was like sitting against the wall at 90 degrees (tho not everyone leans back).“
“I got the Kumquat Lemon tea 70% sweet, and it was very refreshing! We sat outside in front of the shop and enjoyed the nice weather. You can either order online by scanning a QR code or order at the kiosk. Very convenient if there is a long line.“
“Came for the weekend breakfast. Lv breakfast wrap was my favorite with yotiao wrapped in fried scallion pancake. The scallion pancake was fried well with a mochi like consistency. The yotiao would be better if crispier. Thought they could've added more sauce, I added the self serve hot sauce and special sauce which accentuated the yumminess. The turnip cake egg sandwich was good, turnip cake could be crispier too. The kurabuta bun was fine. Summing up, I'd come back for the scallion pancake wrap.“

“My wife bought a few boxes with different main dish and mixed combinations of side dishes. We all grew up in Taiwan, so the comparison was based on past experience. We didn't have time to take pictures before finishing the dishes.All the dishes are great. We will go again.“
“Stopped by to try their bento and drink. I ordered the ground pork bento and red bean slushy with 0% sugar. The red bean slushy reminded me of the red bean ice bar I used to get as a kid and 0% was a good amount of sweetness for my liking. I highly recommend the red bean slushy!! Super good.“
“3.5 STARS Date: Saturday, April 6th, 2024 Time: 3pm Meal: Birthday Late Lunch / Early Dinner Part of: 6 Reservation Made: via Yelp about 1.5 weeks earlier Dinner BBQ & Hot Pot ($37.99) x6 *Japanese Miso *Healthy Herb x2 *Thai Pot: Vegan Spicy x3 *Pork Belly x2 *Ribeye x4 *Spicy Pork Belly *Pork Belly x2 *Pork Jowl x2 *Garlic Shrimp x2 *Galbi Marinated Short Rib x6 *Seapot Angus Beef x2 *Beef Tongue *Steam Rice x3 *J Lohr Cabernet 2019: 375ml ($23) *Sapporo Pitcher ($25) *Original Bottle Soju ($13) *Peach Bottle Soju ($13) *18% Tip ($54.35) For a friend's bday, we decided to do a late lunch at Seapot. I believe on weekends they are open all day and the dinner price applies all day as well. Tip was automatically added to the bill, but I think that was because we were a party of 6? I do adore Seapot for their conveyor belt offerings. I tend to like variety. And I gravitate towards a lot of veggies and seafood. So it's nice they are readily avail in small portions. I don't feel like I have to eat a portion of veggies for the whole table if no one else wants some. Also, super convenient since we don't have to wait for the server to bring those items out. Meat wise (and some seafood), you have to order thru the server. And there's a time limit of 90 mins. Unfortunately this took a while, so we were only able to order one round before the server came back for last call. For bigger parties, they should give two hours as that's not enough time to cook and eat everything. (We still had uncooked plates when they came back for last call.) There's only one grill at a table for 6. It's definitely not enough time to get your korean bbq on. For an AYCE place, this was one of the first times I didn't really leave full. Drinks wise, we had a red wine drinker, so we tried to order a bottle of red wine. The first bottle, they were out, so I asked about two other bottles. They were out of those too. He could only offer a bottle we didn't want, so we ended up with a half bottle of something we originally asked about. Corkage here is $25, while the average bottle was around $40-$50, so it didn't seem worth it to cork anything. I think if we had a smaller party, it would have been fine. But for a larger party, I don't think it's worth coming here. The time limit isn't really enough to take advantage of the AYCE.“
“We had the classic beef noodle soup. The broth was really good in the spicy version and slightly watery in the non spicy version. Hand made noodles were chewy and the sliced braised beef shank was really flavorful. The beef shank had just a small amount of fat but tasted good.“
“This is my favorite Taiwanese bento place in the bay. There are some other pretty good ones too but the portion size here is larger and they have better side dishes in the bento itself. I love the fried mushrooms, the best of the snacks. Whenever I order it, I can't even close the box because they give you so much. The portion size of the popcorn chicken is equally as generous. The golden egg taro balls are a bit oily but still good.For the bento square, I recommend the pot roast brisket square. The meat comes in a separate container because there is a lot. I like the fried chicken cutlet bento as well. There is a self-order kiosk and the line can get long. I usually just order online and fetch it from the pick-up section where it is already sitting because you can choose to dine in either way. It's not like the packaging is different. There are dining areas to the left and right of the order counter; it's spacious. You can accumulate orange points ? here if you sign up with your phone number and sometimes they text you about promotions.The service is very good. However, they actually gave me the wrong bento today. I ordered the pot roast bento but they gave me the chicken leg bento, most likely because it was $9.99 chicken leg Wednesday so they were preparing more of those. I called to see my options because I was still pretty close to the store. They apologized and said I could come pick up the pot roast bento. I asked if I needed to bring a receipt or the chicken bento but they said no worries, see you later. The drinks are the only thing below average.“
“I love this place. Close to work and quick service. I get a basic beef bowl and it hits the spot every time. The owners are great and very considerate. The first time I ordered there were no chopsticks in the bag. After that there were chopsticks ready to go every time I ordered, so this business gets to know your preferences and makes an effort to please customers on every visit. I highly recommend you try it out!“
“Hits the spot every time. My wife and I frequent this restaurant and bring friends and family often as well. They never disappoint us. I have yet to completely finish a regular (generous) portion, but I also order the Ramen noodle extra. We prefer the Beef and Tomato soup but have tried others and they are also good. Each bowl/pot comes with a plentiful assortment of veggies, seafood and meat. They even have boba tea and it's great!“
“Came in on a week night in need of a quick order for drinks and popcorn chicken. Ordering was easy, because we can use the touch pad. There's a wide selection of drinks that you can customize, which is great. The sitting area was comfortable, with a TV to watch fun shows. Each drink was made with fine ingredients and neatly packaged. :The order was ready so fast, which was impressive, since I ordered 2 boxes of chicken and 5 drinks. This would normally take 20-25 minutes in other stores, but they only took about 8 minutes here. If you're in need of a quick drink and snack, this is the place to go!“
“I recently dined at Hi Pot and was thoroughly impressed with my experience. The restaurant offers a wide range of choices for hotpot, with a great selection of meats, vegetables, and other ingredients. I appreciated the variety of options, which allowed me to create a customized meal that was perfect for my taste preferences.The food was of excellent quality, with fresh ingredients that were perfectly cooked. I particularly enjoyed the spicy broth, which had just the right amount of heat and added a wonderful depth of flavor to the meal. The price was also very reasonable, considering the quality and variety of the food that was offered. Also, they offered free sweet tea.However, one area where Hi Pot could improve is in their staffing on Sundays. During my visit, it seemed like there was only one waiter on staff, which led to some delays in service. Despite this, the waiter was incredibly friendly and did his best to keep up with the demands of the restaurant. With more staff on hand, I'm sure the experience would have been even more enjoyable.Despite this minor issue, I would highly recommend Hi Pot to anyone looking for a delicious and satisfying hotpot meal. The food is of exceptional quality, with a wide range of choices that are sure to please any palate. The price is also very reasonable, making it an excellent value for the quality of food that is offered. If you're looking for a great hotpot experience, Hi Pot is definitely worth a visit.“
“Plus - the food was super delicious. The lady helping me was super nice and helpful. Great selection.Minus-I paid over $30 just for lunch. But that did include pot stickers. Decor was not great, but it was homey.Summary - I will be back!!! Yum!!!“
“I was here for a quick lunch as I had a meeting to return to. It's a nice and cozy place. There's a QR code menu from which I ordered black pepper beef with rice and my friend ordered duck rice. We ordered the honey dew drink. The service is great and pretty fast. They have an outside sitting as well. They opened at 11:30 am and we reached just five after. The food was so delicious, I will highly recommend you to try black pepper beef rice. I really enjoyed my lunch and yes they take“
“The main star of this place is the grilled G-pie. Contrary to what it sounds like it is actually fried and then grilled while they slather it with their special, slightly spicy BBQ sauce. This is actually hard to find elsewhere if you didn't know. The other bento I recommend is the fried squid.The price of the bentos is very affordable while the appetizers, on the other hand, are not. Particularly the mushroom skewers. The taro balls with the golden egg yolk inside is my favorite of the snacks.The drinks are decently priced and I do find some of them most refreshing with the fried stuff.“
“- Eggplant in garlic sauce - good, but a bit too sweet for me- Mongolian chicken - not a fan, chicken was not flavorful, and the dish had too many onions- Taiwan sausage fried rice - sausage, egg, and diced string beans - simple and good but on the oily side oily“
