“the chicken is the best around and the al pastor is to die for“

“Anytime we are in Pleasanthill area we try to eat at Jo’s Honda Sushi. We used to live in Pleasanthill and we would go there at least once a week. We love Honda and all his family ❤️“

“We just had the most awesome breakfast at The Hangout in Martinez. I ordered the Chicken and Waffles. It had just the right amount of crunchy spicy sweet goodness. Fast and friendly service.“

“Experience exceptional dining at Jack restaurant, where the waitstaff and bartender provide top-notch service with a smile. They take the time to ask about your meal and ensure that every detail meets your satisfaction.“

“I've ordered takeout from Pho Viet several times now, and it never disappoints. My go-to is the grilled beef with garlic noodles, always paired with an egg roll on the side—and it's fantastic every time. The portion size is just right for a satisfying, well-rounded meal. I love that they include fresh veggies like carrots and lettuce at the bottom, which adds a nice balance to the dish.

The beef is always perfectly cooked and seasoned, and the garlic noodles are packed with flavor. And trust me, the egg roll is a must—crispy, flavorful, and the perfect finishing touch.

The staff are always super friendly when I stop by to pick up my order, which makes the experience even better. I’m really looking forward to coming back and trying more of their menu, especially the pho, which I’ve heard great things about.

Highly recommend!“

“Been in town for about 3wks finally had time to stop in. Iam glad I did. The lady who took my order was very nice and friendly I ordered wings and pizza. The wings were good The meat just fell of the bone and really good. The pizza was really good. Alot of jalapeños and pepperoni on it and the flavor was good. Will definitely go again“

“What a beautiful place. Angela went above & beyond to squeeze in 3 of us to see a great band, Grooveline. The food was outstanding and the drinks had a punch. Our server Barbara was amazing. The place was packed & she was really running all night yet had a fun, pleasant attitude. Everyone danced all night. Such a great vibe. I would definitely go again. I'll follow your FB page for the band calendar. Thank you again Angela!!“

“Love that the restaurant offers four vegetarian fillings for their quesadillas, burritos, tortas, etc. We had a vegetarian burrito and vegetarian torta, and they were both really delicious! The chips and salsa were delicious too. Portions were large. Pictured is half of a main.“

“The freshest sushi I’ve ever had in this area. Hands down. Will definitely be back!“

“We went to a baby shower last Saturday. We sat outside which was lovely. The service and food is ALWAYS so good! They do not skimp on their portions! We have been coming here since 1985. Thanks Tony, you know how to do it right!“

“Sept 21, 2025 - PM - The place is clean, cozy, makes you feel like home. Nice staff. Plenty free parking, safe neighborhood. Food was good with the exception of the onions. I actually like onions but the taste was too strong ( a first in my life) due to the cut in big chunks and not being cooked ( it felt as raw as in a salad) - I had 3 dishes, the bad one was the cashew chicken. At home I still had the taste of onions and some of it remained even after I brushed…Except the onions, the food was great.“

“all I can say is wow!! the best Italian food I e ever ate!! and they were kind enough to add a half a loaf of bread and a extra slice of pizza to my order I definitely recommend this wonderful place when your around town , thank you for your food !!!“

“It was the best curbside pickup experience that my van ever had! 2 Hand in Hand for Progress Day Program in Concord staff members ordered at least 1 item each!“

“Just want to give a special shout out to the manager, Darron. I get a pizza there once a week, on VIP Mondays when you can get 15% off, and this guy sure treats me like a VIP! I switched from thin crust to deep dish after about a year, and he called to make sure that they got the order right, and called again to make sure they would get my pizza right when I gave some special instructions. I think he even called me once to make sure I didn't forget to order on the VIP Monday! And the pizza is of course delicious and a great deal, so how can you go wrong?!?“

“This spot is the most absolute amazing food and drinks and service out there. Every single food item I had has been outstanding!“

“Amazing find! Had a quick lunch here the price was very reasonable (lunch special menu). The small dishes (complimentary appetisers) tasted very authentic and goes well with the rice. Would recommend anyone to come try authentic Korean food at good price!“

“What a great find. We wanted sushi and just had moved in to the neighborhood and tried out Yokoso for their sushi and it did not disappoint. We started with the Tuna sashimi and it was awesome. Great rolls. Great and friendly service and cute inside. And after all that, the price was more than fair. I recommend 100%.“

“Brunch with besties is already a treat, but here it's something really special. We had wonderful crepes, Turkish coffee, and it was my first time truing shakshuka. The atmosphere is soft and sumptuous, layered with rugs and sheepskin. The staff invited us to kick back and get cozy, and you can hardly help but relax and enjoy. Can't wait to come back!“

“The Manager and the staff are absolutely amazing. Every time I walk in there I get such a friendly welcome with smiles. The food is out within a couple minutes, so nice so friendly, so sweet I love them all so professional. The place is always clean. They will come every single person that walks in the door. I will never go anywhere else but that location I’m a very happy unsatisfied customer.“

“I love their food, is very generous and fair price.
I wish they always had music in the background, before last time it was way too quiet for my preference.
I think i enjoyed more the mango margarita vs the peach one.
Staff is friendly, food comes out fast and their complementary chips and salsa are delicious!!!“

“An array of selections at a very reasonable price and very generous portions. I ordered the Garden Omelet; It was delicious. My daughter ordered the same. However, she chose scrambled eggs. Hashbrown and bread were included. There was also strawberry and grape jam at the table. Coffee was also superb. See photos.“

“This is my partner and i’s favorite Korean bbq place in the Bay Area! We are such foodies and have been to many Korean bbq places in the bay and this has outdone them all. The quality of the meat is excellent (thick 👌), it’s so clean and the food is so fresh. Plus the service is top tier!

Update.. they def changed the menu and their food. It’s okay but not as great as it was“

“Absolutely amazing. Had a family picnic. The food was excellent, everyone enjoyed everything. Quality & quantity was way beyond expectations. Delivery was smooth & right on time. I will definitely be using Slow Hand BBQ again. Thank you!“

“Walk in & you will know! Food is delicious“

“Food was so good and so very excellent. But the waiting is so so bad. Last time we waited for almost 40 minutes and when we checked it was in the food to go. We were so hungry but there’s one more problem. I ordered chicken enchilada for my husband and gave us cheese enchilada. We waited for the chicken enchilada and got it fast. We will still be back. Thanks“

“I'm confused by the lack of recent reviews.. i went here the other night because they were open til 11:45pm which is awesome cus i clock out at 11.. went with a safe order, some zhangzhou rice n a couple chx skewers.. this place is the real deal whoevers reading this, you can safely ignore the old shitty reviews. The food was just insanely good.. not a particularly complicated dish but its one of those.. anyone can do this but few have mastered it* 100% worth it to try this place out. Happy new year everyone ^_^,!,,!“

“Gotta Eatta Pita in Pleasant Hill is a fantastic spot for fresh, delicious Mediterranean food. Located in the heart of Pleasant Hill downtown, it’s a convenient and inviting place to grab a quick yet satisfying meal.

Their pita sandwiches and bowls are packed with flavorful, high-quality ingredients, and the variety of fresh salads and toppings make every bite amazing. The falafel is crispy and well-seasoned, the chicken is juicy and tender, and the hummus is incredibly smooth and creamy. Portions are generous, making it a great value for the price.

Beyond the food, the restaurant is clean, the service is friendly, and the ordering process is quick and efficient—perfect for a casual lunch or dinner. Whether you’re a fan of Mediterranean cuisine or just looking for a healthier fast-casual option, Gotta Eatta Pita is a must-try!“

“After finding out another restaurant was closed we were limited with options for a late night dinner. A quick google search brought us to this hidden gem! This restaurant was open until 11:30 pm and the food was SO YUMMY!! We ordered the bulgogi udon, tteokbokki and black soybean noodles, everything was seasoned very well and so flavorful! it really hit the spot. Staff was super attentive and friendly and the atmosphere was really nice too, it’s super cute in there so we got cute pictures as well 😊 10/10 place will definitely be coming here again to try more dishes!!“

“I normally do not like burritos 🌯 but these are great !!!😋“

“Nice little hole in the wall restaurant!
Today I had the Mongolian beef... I actually tasted the wok hei. Soft velveted cuts of meat wok fried at high heat for a minute. It tasted like it was barbecued for an hour but I only have a 30 minute lunch and I got it in 5 minutes after I ordered. It is a must try, everything i have ever ordered was great and I have been here 3 times!

Thank you chef!“

“Very fresh and would definitely recommend the Big Combo Appetizer (Shumai, Gyoza, Tempura & Yakitori) to go with your Meal. Very friendly people, satisfied with the Food and Service😋“
