Restaurants in Pinole

“Highly recommended! Great food and friendly owner.”

“Small boba shop, the owners are so nice and welcoming! I really like how they offer different milk alternatives and toppings. My favorite drink is the house milk tea with boba pearls and pudding, it’s so good!”

“Dude. It's In-n-Out. What more can I say? Just Do It!”

“I ordered a half and half pizza to go last night because my first eat-in pizza was so great. They came through again! I’m so glad that they’re here in Pinole! I just wish they were closer to my home.

Parking: Right in front of the restaurant”

“Absolutely excellent meal! We usually go to Indian restaurant in Berkeley but wanted to try something closer to home. We got the samosas, chicken momo, chicken tikka masala, goat curry and the butter naan.

The goat curry was one of the most flavorful dishes we’ve had in a long time. The meat comes on the bone so expect a little bit of work but it’s well worth it for the flavor. Extremely rich, flavorful, and spicy. Chicken momo is also worth calling out as a must have. Odd yet true, but the water was surprisingly pure and fresh. Don’t know the last time a restaurant’s water caught my attention for a good reason. Overall a surprisingly great meal with a nice view.

Service was wonderful and all the food came out hot. Definitely our new favorite local Indian spot and we’re already looking forward to returning.”

“This place was recommended to me by my sister, who loves Boba. Wow! Just WOW! It is my first time getting Boba here, and I like it compared to others. Their Boba is cook to perfection 👌.

I got strawberry macha with Boba, and it's absolutely the best strawberry macha out these. SO YUMMY. You can taste the freshness. Thank you.

This is one of those small businesses that we need to support.

Thanks 😊 for serving goodness 😍”

“Really friendly staff and good service!Delicious breakfast.”

“Every time I walked in, I want to order the whole menu at this place I swear. Food is just right and tasty here. My favorite bowl is Bun Bo Hue. I can’t get enough…thank you so much you guys are awesome here.”

“Great smelling restaurant, bringing back child hood memories.”

“Friendly staff, every order is put together quickly.”

“This restaurant is very good. The galbi was excellent so was the quality of the fish especially the sashimi. My s was delicious as well I ordered the rainbow roll I recommend it. Do not put Ponzi sauce on anything just have the straight fish with wasabi Ginger if I could give them six stars I would. Hope it stays the same quality. The food servers were great, both Yang, and Mia gave me exemplary service.”

“5 stars! Friendly staff, clean and comfortable, extensive menu, great prices, great value! my super burrito must have had a pound of carnitas, and hubby's mixed fajitas was plentiful as well. Fresh chips and salsa varieties available at the front, along with fresh water, self serve. we asked for containers and got free, fresh chips as well. Let's all support this family business!”

“Ordered Korean food for pick up while visiting a friend nearby, super homey good quality Korean food! We ordered food for 4 adults and 2 kids. We got a kimchi tofu and seafood tofu soup, chive pancake, mackerel, galbi, spicy pork, spicy chicken wings and regular chicken wings, we ordered more kimchi and rice, it also came with a lot of Banchan, and japchae for the kids. The order was easy to place online and we paid online for pick up. I missed the turn into the plaza but found street parking. The server was helpful and there was a small dining room inside. I would totally go back and order from there in the future if I’m feeling Korean food while Im in the area.”

“The food was awesome! Worth the drive. OMG!!! I had all but written NICK the GREEK off after patronizing the Vallejo location; PINOLE IS THE BEST-TEST!!? I couldn’t even believe it was the same restaurant. The Pinole location is 100 times better than any Nick the Greek I’ve ever been to. Super clean, super friendly and the most delicious beef-lamb. We’ll be back❣️”

“Uncle Chungs is the best. My family has been coming here since before I was born. Princess chicken and honey walnut prawns are a must. And if you like crispy noodles try your chow mein Hong Kong style.

Uncle Chungs is family owned and a staple if you are anywhere close.”

“Ok ok ok Ok Ok Ok Ok Ok Ok”

“😍Once I week I allow my self the indulgence of one of their amazing cookies. It's my cookie Friday treat. Soooooo good. Ya gotta try it!”

“Wow, It’s been 20 years, since I stepped foot on to Fosters Freeze. This well respected fine dine in establishment, aged well like fine wine. Service is rapidly/ friendly. Food portions is enormous and prices are very reasonable. Any residents that live in West Contra Costa County towns. Come by and give this place a shot.”

“I am INLOVE with the atmosphere. Walking right in, the smell of sweet tapioca made me instantly love the place. They even had board games under the table. It'd be a great place to hangout with friends. The people serving seemed to have their own enthusiastic energy that was quite welcoming. I'd love to come again.”

“Delicious coffee ☕️, I love how the decorations are set up for this season!”

“We always have a good experience here. The food is made quickly and the price is right for a lazy meal at home.

My favorite order is the vegetarian delight on thin crust with bacon. Trust me on the thin crust. For some reason the taste of the thin crust is much better than original crust.”

“Love the food but I ordered sweet & sour pork and let me tell you absolutely NO PORK in any of it. The flavor was good the crunchy batter but no pork at all I was so upset”

“Food is good. Just food came out a bit slow.l in my opinion. There was a nice old man and woman operating the restaurant. I am assuming they are a married. I’ll definitely be returning.”

“Just arrived from Japan and craved ramen right away. Found this nice place. Great service. Ramen was good but just coming back from Japan, it doesn’t taste the same.”

“Good food & Good service 👌🏼”

“I don't really like bars for the most part, but this place has a great music scene!

I came to support a friend at the jam, Ceasar Myles and the Dreaded Truth reggae band came from the SF peninsula, and the next thing you know we had a Saturday night gig.

Now they want us back...

So much for staying out of bars.

The family atmosphere on the Tuesday night jams is amazing, I really can't say anything bad about the place.

As a musician, getting a consistent warm welcome and a plate of food is over the top for me.

I have never been treated so well at a club gig, it's like being the headliner at a festival, such nice people there!”

“Was on a morning walk and noticed this place was open. Got a breakfast sandwich and a hazelnut latte. Both were great tasting. Nice clean beautiful place. I'll definitely be back for more. The coffee was a little light so next time add an additional shot.”

“The flavor of burger was .well let me put it this way it was so good I didn't want to stop eating . everything there was the best I would refer everyone I know .”

“We made our first visit to Ristorante Due Rose last evening (6/2/2023)--what a amazing dinner we had! I had the Linguine Tutto Mare (thin flat pasta with clams, squid, prawns, scallops and fish, seasoned with tomatoes, crushed red pepper, garlic and white wine.). I think the best Italian dish I have ever had (and I have been to Italy). The pasta was cooked to perfection--none of the flavorless stuff you might find elsewhere, and the sauce was out of this world. My husband had the Grigliata di Mare (Grilled scallops, prawns, calamari, parsley, lemon sauce, roasted potatoes and arugula salad) and also raved about it. Great service and reasonable prices. 💞We will definitely be back!”

“Amazing, tasty and delicious Mexican food with specials of the day, aguas frescas and a variety of meat and shrimp combinations for your tacos and burritos. Choose how you want them from the taco bar (visible for customers to pick and choose from), add your phone number to get points for rewards and get some lollipops for your kids while you wait. Food is ready in minutes with your choice of salsa. I highly recommend it, and it’s family friendly !”

“Had our pastor and wife appreciation luncheon there. Food was great. Servers were great. Had to thank cook myself.”

“This is my new go-to dim sum restaurant in the east bay! The dining room is spacious with tall ceilings, natural light, and simply elegant decor. All of my favorite dishes were on the menu and the hot, fresh food arrived quickly. The whole restaurant smelled delicious! I left feeling so lucky to have found this place, and hope to return soon!”

“It was a great positive experience and true local hidden gem! Come say hi to the owner Ann, tell her I sent you.”

“If you like thin sliced crispy pizza🍕, this place is good. The topping choices are numerous and fresh. The salads are great, and they use better bowls now. And, of course, all the salad fixing offerings are numerous and fresh.
I was also pleasantly surprised
to find the place a comfortable temperature inside. Before, I had stopped coming because it was just too dang cold in there.
They must be under new management because there have been a lot of good new changes made, which will have me and my friends coming back more frequently now.”

“We love your sandwich!!! This is our second order. It is exactly as the first. You put love into your food and I thank you. The taste is excellent. The portion is huge for the price. It is wrapped neatly. And I like the one size order. Bruce Keo.”

“Can't rly give atmosphere 5 stars because it's takeout only but the wife and I love this place! Banh mi is excellent, as are the bowls of whatever. I don't think there's anything the owner chef woman can't make well. She used to run 3 restaurants! Also she is an angel. Go there for the owner chef woman if nothing else. Also egg rolls and crab rangoon are yummy.

Vegetarian options: Dishes that don't have meat”

“This location has wonderful staff…clean location…Food was fresh and tasty. I ordered a traditional Philly cheesesteak and my sister had a hoagie…..Highly recommend”

“Oh my so good! The owners are so kind and really wanted to make sure everything was right. When there was a drink miscommunication, they immediately did what they could to help fix it! So so so sweet!”

“Delicious food.... Large portion of food good tasting the taco plate my favorite and the pupusa plate to”

“Great place to take your little ones for some rec time free wifi,,, 4 out of 5 with the food 5 out of 5 far as cleanliness 4 out of 5 on location not all simple to get here by bus keep that in mind”

“Fantastic pho. Broth was done perfectly for both of our meals and the bowls are huge. Will definitely be back soon. Thank you for the great food and speedy service!”

“Affordable, quick and convenient. I love the pepperoni personal pizza and bread sticks, so yummy just enough food for little me. Staff is very helpful and kind. They also have seating.”

“Honana Hawaiian Food is simply the BEST!
I've tried many Hawaiian places, but none compare. Their chicken katsu is my absolute favorite - crispy, flavorful, and always fresh. The staff is incredibly friendly too.
Even though I don't live in Pinole, I'll gladly make the drive for their amazing food. It's always worth it!”

“They food was very good and they give you alot. We could not even finish it. One thing, if you like Arnold Palmers don't get it there we would have been better off just ordering H2O”

“Menchie's Frozen yogurt is a great treat. I like that it has no preservatives and no additives. It has a great variety of flavors. I'm so glad I found a good frozen yogurt place. I also love the friendly staff.”
