“Went here for the first time yesterday and it was a great experience. The waitress couldn't have been nicer or more professional. Tri Valley Bistro has both indoor and outdoor seating and good menu selection. We had the Salmon sandwiches and nice glass of wine. Both were great. I will be coming back again.”
“Great food, nice staff and Chianti says it all! Oh they have pizza yet you should not hold the image of pizzeria / pizza parlor that leans to the slice o’pie on the east coast. This is nice dining!”
“First time patrons loved everything about our experience food was delicious generous portions did not go home hungry great customer service and definitely will go again, we want to try everything on the menu Bravissimo Gracias por la Norte”
“If you’re looking for a pizza place with a large variety, this it is! Not only do they have your traditional pizzas on the menu, but they have a great selection of Indian-fusion Pizzas as well! To top it off, they’ve got a ton of craft beers on tap, and they’re constantly bringing in new ones! Terrific atmosphere!”

“Food was great and so was the service…. Securely going back again!!!”
“Had a wonderful time and delicious salads with just right portions and friendly service”
“Very impressed. I'm a bit of a sushi connoisseur. I travel for work and usually find the highest rated sushi restaurant in each town I visit. While this wasn't the highest rated, it was walking distance from my hotel and convenience won out. I wasn't expecting much from a strip mall sushi restaurant, but the quality ended up being on par with some of the higher-end places I've been to. The fish was very fresh with generous portions on the nigiri. The chef and hostess were both very friendly. I didn't eat inside but the place looked very clean and decorated well. Prices were very fair, especially considering this is the bay area.
I'm only in town one more day but I will definitely try to return. Highly recommended.”

“Their boba itself is good! Got their taro latte, but wasn’t a fan. It was very weirdly ‘too creamy’. I wouldn’t get anything with their extra rich milk in it - I love that it’s organic milk (which is why I wanted to try this place) but it was very heavy tasting. I’d be open to come back to try something else or just swap out the extra rich milk 🙃 Very cute flower wall decor!”
“I’ve only been here once but tried a variety of dishes and they were all very good. It was hard to find the restaurant at first, it’s in the shopping center on the border of Pleasanton and Livermore and it’s inside a food court in that shopping center. You walk in and it’s the first restaurant on the right. They have an incredible menu of Indian and Nepalese cuisine. The momo is succulent with different sauce options. The noodles were freshly stir fried with a good amount of seasoning and oil. I liked their butter chicken and rice too but the portion was a little small. I will definitely return to try the other chow mein.”

“The staff at Axes and Ales were great! They helped me with the many changes that happened during planning our event and the day of. Their customer service was great even thought they were really busy. Thank you for making our daughter’s event memorable, everyone had a great time.”
“Rubino Winery is a hidden gem! 🍷✨
Amazing wine (start with the sparkling!), fun bocce games, and the friendliest staff around. Membership is worth it and your friends (aka, me) get to enjoy a discount!”

“Phō here is poppppin !!!! Flavor is not point ! Quantity is good! Bowls are a good size! For me it was the rib in the combo plate!!!! The only thing is they need to add the chilli sauce to their table! It’s quiet but it needs some type of jams ,people aren’t loud even when it’s busy and staff is friendly and quick”
“I had a great time at this restarunt! Each of the various varieties of dosas they offer tastes fantastic. There is something for everyone because the dosas are crispy and loaded with delicious fillings. the staff members are quite pleasant. Also, the staff members are quite pleasant. They were kind and made sure we received our food promptly. This is a great spot to try something new or if you enjoy dosas! I'd definitely return.”
“Delicious and definitely fulfilled our sushi craving. I highly recommend Pocket Sushi no chopsticks required easy to eat, full of flavor, and so pretty to look at. I stopped by after work to pick up a few different types of pockets, the service was great and the food was fresh and made quickly. I waited no more then ten minutes for them to make my six item order and they brought it out to my car which was also very nice. We will for sure be back for more!”
“Love their eggs Benedict and pork chops. Staff is always so nice. Great French fries!”

“I had a fantastic experience at this Indian restaurant. The service was warm and attentive, making me feel right at home. Every dish I tried was absolutely perfect-rich flavors, authentic spices, and beautifully presented.
What stood out most was their halal menu, offering both chicken and beef options that were cooked to perfection. It's not easy to find a place that nails both quality and authenticity, but this spot truly delivers.
Highly recommend for anyone craving delicious Indian food with great service and halal options! 🍛🔥”
“They serve freshly fried chicken, and even though you must wait 15-20 minutes, it's worth it. We ordered the extra crispy chicken, which was very flavorful and crunchy. The pickled radish that came with the chicken also tasted sweet and crispy. After I made my order, I noticed they have a Wednesday Special. Maybe I will try it next time.”
“A great asset for Pleasanton amidst the countless Chinese, Indian and Sushi places. Burmese cuisine is flavorful and delicious, the owners are great hardworking people and they have a full bar. My all time favorite for casual bites, take friends and colleagues for a meal. Glad to have them in our hometown.”
“Great outdoor patio with lots of shade and the inside was really nice as well, very cool posters on the wall. Food was good, pizza was a little greasy and the wings could have been just a little crisper. Not sure about either the ranch or blue cheese dressing neither tasted correct. They were good but more like a dill ranch and a very mild version of a blue cheese. The service was EXCELLENT 👌👍 great wait staff, drinks were never empty, someone checked on us at appropriate intervals and made sure we had anything we needed. The wait for the food was short and everything was hot and fresh.”
“One of Pleasanton’s finest restaurant for sure. Why - exotic Guyanese fusion cuisine that should please every palate. Very attentive service and a full bar. What else can you ask for? And yes, the nicest chef cum owner - Maurice and his son are real delightful people.”
“Great atmosphere, serving staff is friendly and on point with ensuring you have what you desire and the food was phenomenal. I had the lamb chops with mint jelly and sautéed spinach. Lamb chop cooked perfectly that it melt in your mouth with tons of flavor. My raspberry lemon drop was a bit on the strong side but when I made mention they remedied it by adding a little more simple syrup … perfect.”

“We had an event after a memorial service at Sidetrack and can’t say enough good things. Todd and everyone that helped us were amazing. The food (big kudos on the cauliflower), the atmosphere and service was incredible. We were in the Angela Patio on a rainy night and the patio was cozy with the heaters and the perfect place to have a special event. Thank you Todd.. everyone was so kind and you all took such great care of our family! I would recommend you to everyone.”
“I went here all the time when I was a kid in the early to mid 2000s
Every time we walked in the owner would greet us & ask us if we wanted Pot Stickers. He always remembered us
Now in my late 20s, me & a few childhood friends decided to drop by while we were back in the area for a bit
The food is sooooo good, just like it was all those years ago. The employees are super nice & made sure to keep checking on us. Our drinks always stayed full as well.”
“This place is a must-try! The atmosphere is so cozy and pleasant. I had a dish with two servings of rice, a beef patty, egg on top, and it was covered in gravy—it was to die for! I can’t remember the name, but the flavor was unforgettable. I’ll definitely be back for more of their amazing food!”

“Outstanding food and service. Some of the most delicious Asian cuisine I have ever had, and best of all, it is ALL vegan. You will want to try everything. The food is fresh, flavorful and not at all greasy. The staff welcomes you like family. And if the incredible appetizers and entrees aren't enough for you, they have a dessert menu with lots of variety. I am already very eager to return!”

“We tried the Indian fusion pizza and yes they do half and half. We got half butter chicken and half tandoori pizza we wanted it spicy and they made them so. Overall pizza was flavorful and yummy. Had a great Indian pizza after a long time with fresh ingredients. Highly recommend them.
tandoori wings were super fresh cannot compare with other wing shops. Please keep up the quality, price and the taste, I am sure you will open up many more restaurants.”

“Wow the cannolis were amazing! Ordered 4 pistachio and 4 chocolate as dessert for an Italian dinner night. Several people commented that these cannolis are the best they’ve ever had! Great ratio, not too sweet and the shells were a fabulous crunchy! Will be recommending and ordering again. Thank you!”
“I started with an ice tea and did some work on rhe puter as I waited for my childhood friend Mr. MAC.
I read through the menue a couple times and checked out the room, looked like a great place to catch a game, if only I lived closer. When Mr. Mac arrived he said this is my spot everything is great but i am having the crab sandwich So, I got the fresh crab sandwich too bit he got the onion rings and I got a salad with raspberry vinegarette and it was worth every penny. I had a Guinness stout with that 22oz and boy was that a great combo.
I'll Be Back!”
“This restaurant has integrity. Staff made a mistake (they are human after all), they quickly acknowledged, apologized and took action to correct the mistake. I am one happy customer.
Oh, food is amazing too. Store is usually busy so come early.”
“Definitely will go back. We enjoyed my husband's birthday dinner. Great food, fast service and best customer service!”

“My wife and I have been dining at Gold Chopsticks for years and we love it. They have an extensive menu and I love trying all the amazing dishes. You could easily get hooked on their Pot Stickers with their homemade sauce, Wor Won Ton Soup, Sweet & Sour Prawns, Combination Fried Rice, Broccoli Beef, etc. And I really don't know how anybody can beat their Black Pepper Beef Sizzling Platter, it is awesome on so many levels!!!”
“I'm not sure whether or not the woman working at the cash register in the front was an owner or just an employee, but she was super friendly and had the best attitude. She had a smile on her face the hole time and really tried to sell the combos an suggest other items on the mention that would go great with ur meal, but wasn't pushy or forceful about it in anyway, & she even suggested how i could save money by ordering it a certain way an things like that. Overall an A+ experience n would recommend this Little Ceasars Pizza to any & everyone that's looking for a great take out/Delivery pizza that are on a tight budget.”
“What I liked most about this place was the atmosphere and the green tea. We ordered the Traditional Paitan Ramen with Bone Marrow, Nori Agedashi Tofu, and Chicken Karaage. We really enjoyed the ramen dish, and the Chicken Karaage was okay, but we didn’t like the Nori Agedashi Tofu at all.”

“Sinfully good soft serve & taiyaki! We got:
* milk & sweet corn soft serve swirl with a custard-filled taiyaki
* ube soft serve with a matcha-filled taiyaki
We just wish the ube soft serve had a stronger ube taste to it but otherwise, definitely passing by here every time we're in the area!”
“I’ve been coming to this location for a few years, and it never disappoints, as it’s one of the better mantained in the area, as well as the cleanest and the friendliest staff. On my last visit Linda made our experiece such a delight, as my nieces and nephew were taking forever on deciding what to get, yet she made it easier by suggesting, and making them feel comfortable ordering, making us feel welcomed with her sweet smile and outstanding customer service. The Jalapeño cheese dog is my favorite! Highly recommended! Kudos to her and her and her coworkers in this amazing location! Management must be extremely amazing here, because it shows. Keep up the good work!”
“Dosa. Crispy. Served with unlimited delicious sambar and chutney. Which are vegan. And just the right amount of salt/spice. Oh and the potato masala (the masala in masala dosa) is great too. 5/5 right there. They also have (mostly) clearly marked vegan options on the menu for the other items, some of which can be had for takeout. But dosa is dine in only as it should be.”
“This little boba shop is located inside of a food hall. They have so many items on their menu, it was hard to choose. I ended up ordering the Thai tea blended, and my husband got the Cafe Mocha flavor. The Thai tea was good, the boba too. Next time I want to try a tropical flavor or the pineapple mousse. My husband would like to try another coffee flavor, but blended next time.”
“We ended up finding this place by chance because we’re waiting for a table at Bill’s Cafe. We decided to walk the plaza and I smelled the aroma of freshly made pizza. We had to GO in. As a New Yorker, I am seriously picky about my pizza. It needs to be thin, crispy with gooey cheese and a great sauce. This place checks off all of the boxes. The owner was super sweet and explained she got the ingredients from the East coast to make it truly delicious pizza. Don’t sleep on this gem!”
“Very good food. We ate it up. Reasonable prices we can still afford. We shared a super burrito. They were kind enough to cut it and s serve it on two plates for us. We didn’t have to ask. Very courteous and pleasant. The chicken burrito had a lot of flavor. We’re going back for enchiladas and tacos next. Wonderful location, close to old Main St with all the shops Merry loves to see.”
“I went in to try a new drink matcha coconut water. I know it sounds gross. AND IT WAS lol ! But I hopped on the hype train and definitely came right off. Oh well! I went to order something else and he Ethan (I think that’s his name) said it’s okay the drink is on the house. I told him many times it’s okay I’ll pay. And he didn’t want to let me pay. He told me I should pay for something I like. Also that many people came in to try that drink and said it’s not good lol. I appreciate his honesty, and his kindness. He didn’t have to do that and that’s why I love coming here all the time ! They are always soo soo kind!”
“Thank you so much to the staff. The food was comforting and delicious. The banchan was tasty and flavorful, the beef brisket soup is great, the ddukbokgi has a good flavor, the bibimbap has high-quality ingredients, etc. The staff are working hard and more people should come here. My family and I have been here multiple times. The staff were nice enough to take us in 20 minutes before they closed.”

“I and my husband took our sons, grandson, sister and brother-in-law to dinner, waiters were pleasant and helpful and the food just so delicious. A member in our group is a retired chef and said it was the best Chinese dinner he had had for a long time. Just clean Chinese cooking done the way it should be, We all agreed. Thank you for making the end of 2023 a delightful experience.”
“Their recent all you can eat with price of $29.99 is unbeatable deal! As a born and raised in Sichuan Chinese, I enjoyed their very authentic spicy pot very very much! There are many other flavors to choose from and so many varieties of sauces to add to your taste bud! Service is excellent! Food is fresh. I plan to go there at least once a month to satisfy my gravy craving for very authentic Chinese hot pot. On top of that, they also have authentic Sichuan dishes to enjoy!”

“My husband and I decided to stop at PF Chang’s for dinner one night while in Pleasanton. It wasn’t too busy, we were early for the dinner rush. We were pleasantly surprised to get an open table right away in the bar area. The lights were down lower than normal and we were told it was because the AC was not working which made it a little uncomfortable while eating. However, our server and the food helped to make up for the lack of cool air.
Our server Markeiha greeted us promptly and offered to get us a beverage to enjoy while looking at the menus. She quickly returned with our beverages and took our orders.She was very friendly, and professional and made us feel like valued customers. She was very attentive to us and was there when our water and sodas needed to be refilled. She provided us with excellent service which we shared with the manager on duty. She shared with us that it was Markeiha’s last day unfortunately. It was my opinion that they needed to do something to keep her because she was an asset to the restaurant, to which she agreed. She even said that Markeiha competent enough that she could manage the bar area on a Friday night all by herself!! That is what a business needs!
Our food was excellent, loved the new Teriyaki chicken meal. Please don’t take it off the menu!”
