“The pizza is exceptional (from my partner originally from northeast region, who has a very high standard for pizza). The dough is perfect in terms of softness and crispness. The milky mozzarella is the cherry on the top. We really like the simple menu and the generous parmesan on top of the pie. It is a little bit on the pricey side, but the pizza is also pretty large. 4 of us ended up finishing one and a half pizza.”

“So nice that there still exist a beautiful, talented, elegant, down to earth, high quality cocktail bar. This was my third time here the last time was years ago when it was really busy that it turned me off of coming back, but this time was the perfect vibe. Arrived at 8 PM and got a table before they all filled up. The first time I came with also fantastic. I’m really fussy about my cocktails and they’ve always been wonderfully balanced and tasty here. This time I had “part-time love”. The place couldn’t be set up more beautifully.”

I emailed Yuval my shopping list with all my special requests and got top of the live service. My order was ready the next day and Yuval did not miss a thing!

“A Humble Plea: Bring Tanya Back! We’ve been ordering from Hawking Bird for the last year - it’s our go-to spot for delicious fried chicken and flavorful garlic noodles. Our standard order: the Tanya Special. This ingenious dish focused on my favorite Hawking Bird offerings with none of the fluff. Imagine my disappointment when I learned this special was removed from the menu! Yes, you can alter the fried chicken bowl (sub noodles, remove the cucumber/cilantro/mint) but Tanya was generous, providing a larger portion size that cannot be recreated. Times are tough, and Miss Tanya provided some relief. My loyalty to Hawking Bird has not wavered, I’m placing an order right now - but please consider bringing this special back!”

I think it's a great date night place. Fresh pasta tasted great. Just the right amount of sauce. The meatballs were a little dry. Focaccia bread was very good. Corn pudding was also nice. The reason for 4 stars was the chocolate cookies..... Just not good ....they seemed unsweetened. And just really sad looking. Next time just offer the shot of booze and don't bother with the cookies if you aren't going to put any effort into them.”

The spicy chicken sandwich meal (fries not pictured because I ate them in the car), a Minute Maid, and a seven-piece jalapeño popper… honestly, this felt less like fast food and more like the Last Supper. If Jesus had served jalapeño poppers that night, I don’t think anyone would’ve doubted him. Your Good Good sauce was everything its name promised, your taco sauce a quiet but steady companion—like you, Jack. Dependable. Comforting. Slightly mysterious under that giant round head. Jack, don’t ever change.💋 Forever yours, A loyal customer ❤️”

“Cute fun place. Had been on my list to go for a while... but will I return? Probably not. Got the 5 way which is all 5 meats and all 5 sides. Baked beans undercooked and tough, appreciated that you used real legumes but they were not cooked to tender at all. Ok so dont order next time but after dropping $100 on a platter the portions were not good. A container for one side was a 6oz. THAT is not a sharable portion. With the meats we got two links great, 2 leg qtrs cool but 1 slice of brisket and a scoop of lamb? It was not bang for your buck based you would do better steering away from the platters. The biggest issue I had was glove change. People refuse to undwerstand that gloves are to prote t the customer from you. They are not to be used to keep your hands clean. And they are to be changed politely upon request. Pulling up your pants, tucking hair behind your ear, using your phone, touching POS and papers and then carving my meats!! Absolutlely not!!! And after watching you do this with the person before me, I ask for you to change your gloves and now we want to question it?? That will definitely have me not return. Like I said cute spot but doesnt inspire cleanliness or a great attitude. You are to be a proper professional service and pleasant to the public when serving. Portions that good money is paid for should not slighted because you had to change your gloves! One piece of brisket doesn't cost 20 bucks no where in the Bay. Cheesecakes were good and varied in flavors. He said it was his granny's recipe. Good job Granny!”

Avocado salad wasn't my favorite although it was still great, maybe i added too much dressing on the first go. Dressing was like a balsamic peanut. However it was a big and substantial salad. 3 spring rolls were awesome as well, very fresh and comes with Siracha and two peanut sauces.

“The shrimp and grits are tasty. I don’t understand why the entire staff is Hispanic-like most Mexican restaurants they only hire Hispanic folks so if we are not good enough to work here I won’t spend my money here”

“I drove from Vallejo to try this place and boy was I disappointed. starting with the 90$ meal, the meat was so dry I could not even eat it The pulled pork tasted like sawdust, the ribs were dry,and the brisket and tri tip are horrible. the potato salad was very loose, and the green beans were burnt, had I lived in the area I would have brought it all back. fix the issues word of mouth can truly hurt your business. because I am writing this review on multiple sights.”

“I freakin love this place. The sandwiches are delicious and hearty, and they don’t get soggy and fall apart. They make such a delicious pesto - I always get this on my Cali Club. Hot sandos are so good too. They use acme bread which is delivered fresh everyday so they can sometimes run out of bread options, so get your orders in early. The prices are so reasonable, too. A good 5 bucks cheaper than most other places which is crazy. They’re also open early - so if you gotta take care of food early in the day, it’s great.”

“This place did have high quality sushi and a great atmosphere inside. The nigiri and sashimi cuts were pretty small though, especially for the high price that they carried… if you’re looking for a no-frills sushi joint, this doesn’t fit that bill so much, it would make more sense for a Friday night date.”

“This place is such a gem. We had never had Azerbaijani food before and it was so delicious and also don't be intimidated. It's Mediterranean food with interesting spices and dishes. The saganaki (flaming cheese) is ridiculously good and the mixed platter. The Sultans Delight is unique and so good. We also loved the Georgian wines they had. Wonderful restaurant.”

“I first saw Broken Dream’s storefront a few months ago while driving down Broadway and said to myself, I gotta check that place out on the name alone. Finally made it this afternoon and so glad I did. Portions are large - for $20 I got the grilled lemongrass chicken and broken rice with pickles, shredded pork skin and pork omelette. Comes with cleansing soup! Ate half at the restaurant and had the rest for dinner at home. Will be back soon!”

“Cute fun place. Had been on my list to go for a while... but will I return? Probably not. Got the 5 way which is all 5 meats and all 5 sides. Baked beans undercooked and tough, appreciated that you used real legumes but they were not cooked to tender at all. Ok so dont order next time but after dropping $100 on a platter the portions were not good. A container for one side was a 6oz. THAT is not a sharable portion. With the meats we got two links great, 2 leg qtrs cool but 1 slice of brisket and a scoop of lamb? It was not bang for your buck based you would do better steering away from the platters. The biggest issue I had was glove change. People refuse to undwerstand that gloves are to prote t the customer from you. They are not to be used to keep your hands clean. And they are to be changed politely upon request. Pulling up your pants, tucking hair behind your ear, using your phone, touching POS and papers and then carving my meats!! Absolutlely not!!! And after watching you do this with the person before me, I ask for you to change your gloves and now we want to question it?? That will definitely have me not return. Like I said cute spot but doesnt inspire cleanliness or a great attitude. You are to be a proper professional service and pleasant to the public when serving. Portions that good money is paid for should not slighted because you had to change your gloves! One piece of brisket doesn't cost 20 bucks no where in the Bay. Cheesecakes were good and varied in flavors. He said it was his granny's recipe. Good job Granny!”

“Just go! There's a parking lot so you won't need to circle to find a spot. The food is INCREDIBLE! And they have a little hidden oasis in the back where one can eat a crazy good burger & spiced fries. It's the little things that matter - the special sauce, the sink in the back where we could wash our hands before / after eating, and the incredible service & smiles we received when we walked in. We'll be back anytime we are in the neighborhood!!”
