“Delicious and very cozy cafe. We had a turmeric latte and affogato which were both really good. I added honey to the latte and I think it needed pepper, and next time I might add a shot of espresso just for fun! I will definitely come back next time I’m here charging my car. The cafe is really cute and would be a great place to study and catch up with a friend. The service was really good, too. Super kind and down to earth.”
“I absolutely love the mangonita they make here. Been back twice and both times made absolutely perfect. First one was with mango ice cream and the second on with lime ice cream. Both delicious!! Gonna go back and try so many other desserts. 2 thumbs up 👍”
“Had a fantastic experience at Naschmarkt! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, but the standout of the night was definitely the bar service.
Our bartender, Can, was incredible. Not only was he exceptionally friendly and welcoming, but his mixology skills are top-tier—every drink he made was crafted to perfection and absolutely delicious. It’s rare to find a spot that balances a great menu with such genuinely warm, attentive hospitality.
Whether you're stopping in for dinner or just grabbing a drink at the bar, ask for Can! We’ll definitely be back soon.”
“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.”

“The food is absolutely delicious! It was our first time and we will be back! We had the chicken and fish pakora to start. Both amazing! We had the assorted vegetable pakora too. It was fresh and tasty with the dipping sauces. We also had tandoori chicken, butter chicken, tandoori kabob, korma chicken, plain naan and garlic naan. Each dish was great! I truly can’t say enough about the taste and quality of the food. The staff are friendly and attentive. We called ahead as we were a group of 8. The table was ready when we arrived. Great food and great service.”
“Absolutely adored the hospitality of the staff. We're visiting from Virginia and it was such a new experience to have table side service and staff who were engaging and interested in conversation. The tasting room is beautiful, as are the grounds. We really enjoyed the couple of hours we spent tasting wines and having light charcuterie (purchased on site). Thank you for the great afternoon and memories.”
“Ttobongee is the KFC champ of the East Bay! 🏆🍗
If you’re hunting for the ultimate Korean Fried Chicken, this is the spot. The chicken is bomb—so crispy and tasty! Even the radish is spot-on (though the kimchi is just average). The shop itself is small but has a great outdoor patio. I love this place, but I do wish they would dress up the interior with some cool Korean chicken-pub style decor to match the amazing food. Definitely a must-try!”
“We ordered from Urban Momos and it turned out to be an excellent choice for Indo-Chinese cuisine. The dishes had the perfect balance of spices — flavorful without being overpowering. The quality of ingredients was impressive, and the portions were generous.
Definitely a reliable go-to place for satisfying Indo-Chinese cravings. Highly recommended!”
“Very nice family owned winery. Came here on a sunny Tuesday riding a bike from Danville. It was well worth the effort. The wine tasting was so good. Really recommend going with the Jewel Flight, with the top red wines. It's a lot of wine for only a person, so if you are going to visit another winery it would be better to share the wine flight.”
“Love their eggs Benedict and pork chops. Staff is always so nice. Great French fries!”
“delicious food! I got the spanakopita & braised short ribs. 🥰🥰🥰”

“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.”

“It’s been a long time since I’ve had a Nations Burger and I was hesitant because I know they put Miracle Whip on their burgers and I love Mayo, but they have regular Mayo now and their Burgers are SOOO good it tastes like the 4th of July— unpopular opinion I think it’s way better than In and Out. The service here was really the cherry on top to my experience. Everyone here is so kind and helpful. I just came back for my second time this week!”
“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!”
“Try their Al Pator! If you like meat, you can't go wrong with that choice. I'd be thrilled if they switched up to a more hardy tortilla, in-house made chip. The hot sauces seem to be made by them, they are wonderful. The atmosphere is basic, nothing special. I've taken out numerous times.”
“Super legit Taiwanese bubble tea spot! The cashier was really friendly and made the whole experience even better. I got the peach green tea with milk foam and some popcorn chicken—both were so good. The milk foam was super creamy, and the popcorn chicken was crispy, juicy, and full of flavor. Definitely coming back!”
“I'm deeply grateful to Inklings' leadership for cancelling your partnership with The Global Leadership Network and Global Leadership Summit, in light of this organisation's ongoing choice to publicly honour their unrepentant sexual predator founder, Bill Hybels, rather than publicly, unambiguously naming and condemning his decades of sexual harassment and sexual assault. I see you standing up with and for those who have been harmed by religious predators, exactly like Jesus did. Thank you so much.”

“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 ordered three types of biryani: Hyderabadi, paneer, and bhajji. We all liked the Hyderabadi the most, but the paneer one was also good. The bhajji biryani was okay, though the bhajji itself was better than the biryani. One biryani is usually enough for two people.There was kids menu separately which also has so many options.”
“If you are a fan of deep dish pizza, this is your goto place. The pizza is delicious and you do have a good variety of options to choose from. Vegetarian to italian sausages, the taste has been wonderful.”

“The two ladies that work here are so kind and sweet! The breakfast croissant was amazing. The latte was the best I’ve had in the area. My boyfriend and I loved this place for breakfast and we will be back again. Thank you so much for the sweet hospitality and the delicious food and coffee.”
“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.”
“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!!!”
“Another gem in our hometown. No frills or anything fancy but straightforward great customer service and delicious authentic Mexican food. Joe at the counter was a delight to work with as I arranged a small birthday dinner. A neat little restaurant and highly recommended.”
“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!”
“Recently, I had the pleasure of dining at a fancy restaurant with a specialty in guacamole and waffles, and let me tell you, it was an experience like no other. From the moment I stepped into the restaurant, I was greeted with a warm welcome and the ambiance was simply stunning. The décor was elegant and sophisticated, with soft lighting and comfortable seating. The atmosphere was perfect for a special night out.As for the food, the guacamole was hands down the highlight of the meal. It was incredibly fresh and flavorful, with just the right amount of spice and zest. The restaurant takes great pride in sourcing only the finest ingredients, which is evident in the taste of the guacamole. I also appreciated the variety of options for toppings and dipping sauces, which made for a unique and personalized experience.The waffles were another standout item on the menu. They were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the toppings were creative and delicious. Whether you prefer sweet or savory, there was something for everyone. I particularly loved the waffle with fresh berries and whipped cream.The service at this restaurant was impeccable. Our server was knowledgeable, attentive, and friendly, and made the dining experience even more enjoyable. The attention to detail, from the presentation of the food to the impeccable table setting, was a true testament to the high standards of the restaurant.In conclusion, I would highly recommend this fancy restaurant to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience. Whether you're a fan of guacamole and waffles or not, the combination of flavors and the quality of the food will leave you in awe. The atmosphere and service are top-notch, making it the perfect destination for a special occasion or a night out. Overall, this restaurant exceeded all of my expectations and I can't wait to return!
Vegetarian options: As a vegan, I often struggle to find restaurants that cater to my dietary needs, but this place exceeded my expectations.The menu had a variety of dishes that were clearly labeled as vegan, making it easy for me to choose what to order. I was able to try several dishes, including a flavorful roasted vegetable bowl and a delicious plant-based burger, both of which were fresh and beautifully presented.
Dietary restrictions: Milk is a crucial ingredient in the making of waffles, a popular breakfast food around the world. It provides the necessary moisture for the batter to mix evenly and achieve the desired texture. The type of milk used in the recipe can greatly impact the taste, texture, and overall quality of the waffles.The most commonly used milk in waffle recipes is cow’s milk. Cow’s milk is rich in protein and calcium, and it provides the waffles with a creamy texture and a mild flavor. Whole milk is often used as it provides a higher fat content, making the waffles tender and fluffy. Buttermilk is another popular option for making waffles. Buttermilk has a tangy flavor that gives the waffles a unique taste, and its acidity reacts with the baking soda in the batter to produce a light and fluffy texture.For those who prefer plant-based alternatives, there are several options available. Almond milk, soy milk, and oat milk are popular alternatives that can be used in waffle recipes. These plant-based milks can provide a lighter flavor and texture, making them ideal for those who prefer a healthier option. Additionally, they are a great alternative for those with lactose intolerance or a dairy allergy.The amount of milk used in the recipe can also play a role in the final outcome of the waffles. Too much milk can make the batter too thin, resulting in waffles that are dense and heavy. On the other hand, not enough milk can make the batter too thick, resulting in waffles that are dry and crunchy. Finding the right balance of milk is essential for making perfect waffles.
Parking: Upon arrival, I circled the block several times searching for a spot, but all the nearby parking options were full. I eventually had to park several blocks awa”

“I recently dined at Pho Saigon and ordered the large beef pho, chicken with rice, and fried rice with shrimp. The dishes were served hot, the portions were good size and the service was quick and courteous. There was also ample seating, which made the visit comfortable. However, I observed a staff member using same set of gloves after cleaning tables, handling the register, and serving food...”
“A little shop in the stripe serving skinless moist chicken over rice. Comes with sauce and soup for take out. The chicken is not gamey which is big plus for me. Healthy choice. It’s refreshing over fried/oily food. I only wish they gave a little more veggie and sauce or ask if we’d like some sauce over the rice. I found the sauce not enough for my chicken and rice but still delicious. Would def return when around the area.”
“Immortal temptation
Takes over my mind, condemned
Fallen weak on my knees
Summon the strength of mayhem
I am the storm that is approaching
Provoking black clouds in isolation
I am reclaimer of my name
Born in flames, I have been blessed
My family crest is a demon of death
Forsakened, I am awakened
A phoenix's ash in dark divine
Descending misery, destiny chasing time
Inherit the nightmare, surrounded by fate
Can't run away
Keep walking the line between the light
Led astray
Through vacant halls, I won't surrender
The truth revealed in eyes of ember
We fight through fire and ice forever
Two souls once lost, and now they remember
I am the storm that is approaching
Provoking black clouds and isolation
I am reclaimer of my name
Born in flames, I have been blessed
My family crest is a demon of death
Forsakened, I am awakened
A phoenix's ash in dark divine
Descending misery, destiny chasing time
Disappear into the night
Lost shadows left behind
Obsession's pulling me
Fading, I've come to take what's mine
Lurking in the shadows under the veil of night
Constellations of blood pirouette
Dancing through the graves of those who stand at my feet
Dreams of the black throne I keep on repeat
A derelict of darkness, summoned from the ashes
The puppet master congregates all the masses
Pulling strings, twisting minds as blades hit
You want this power? Then come try and take it
Beyond the tree
Fire burns
Secret love
Bloodline yearns
Dark minds embrace
Crimson joy
Does your dim heart
Heal or destroy?
Bury the light deep within
Cast aside, there's no coming home
We're burning chaos in the wind
Drifting in the ocean all alone”
“Pala the woman who helped us was excellent.
She greeted us as soon as we walked in, took our order right away, and even made us laugh. She did everything with a smile, all while handling other tasks at the same time.Thanks to her, our experience was much faster, and she provided truly outstanding service.
We are very grateful.”
“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.”

“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!”

“Had a wonderful experience! The food was great, but what really made our visit special was our server Kelly. She is incredibly friendly, attentive, and professional from start to finish. They checked on us at the right times, made great recommendations, and made us feel genuinely welcome. It's rare to receive service this thoughtful these days. Thank you for making our meal so enjoyable. We'll definitely be back!”
“Absolutely love iSee Cream! The matcha here is some of the best I’ve had. Their soft serve is incredibly creamy. The staff are friendly, the store is clean, and the service is always fast, even when it’s busy.
I also love that they’re always coming out with unique seasonal specials. The quality of the ingredients really shows in every item. If you’re looking for great matcha, soft serve, or Taiyaki in the Bay Area, iSee Cream is a must-visit. Highly recommend!”
“If you're looking for coffee that's outside the norm, this is the place to be. The quality is outstanding, and every cup is crafted with care. What truly sets this coffee house apart is the atmosphere—the team makes you feel like you're sitting in their living room, welcomed like family. Great coffee, great people, and a warm, inviting experience every time. Highly recommend! ☕❤️”
“I arrived on a Sunday, 9:15 PM which is 15 min before they close and they said no problem ! I ordered chicken tikka masala and samosas, it was 20 usd . very good price and quality food. 👑
The place is clean, nice, a lot of Indian tradition and you can see they are hard working people. FYI on Thursdays there is a buffet for 15 usd plus taxes, i havent eat the buffet yet but just to let u knoe”
“This place is SO CUTE. I love their vibrant drinks and have yet to try their food. The aesthetic is such a vibe here and I love how you don’t need human interaction to place an order. I don’t know why there’s still a tip option but I guess people will fall for that trap. I love coming here!”
“We recently visited Amogham Indian Restaurant and had an amazing dining experience from start to finish. If you’re looking for authentic Indian food with rich flavors and great quality, this place is absolutely worth trying.
We ordered a variety of dishes including Chicken 65, Goat Curry, different naan varieties, Punukulu, and Mirchi Bajji, and every single item was impressive. The Chicken 65 was perfectly cooked — crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and packed with the right level of spice and flavor. It had that authentic restaurant-style taste that’s hard to find.
The Goat Curry was one of the highlights of the meal. The meat was tender, flavorful, and cooked beautifully in a rich, aromatic gravy that paired perfectly with the fresh naan. The naans themselves were soft, warm, and freshly made, making them the perfect accompaniment to the curry.
We also loved the Punukulu and Mirchi Bajji. The Punukulu were crispy, light, and tasted just like homemade South Indian evening snacks. The Mirchi Bajji was fresh, crunchy, and had an excellent balance of spice and seasoning. It’s rare to find a place that gets traditional snack items this right.
Beyond the food, the overall experience was excellent. The staff was friendly, attentive, and welcoming throughout our visit. Service was quick, the restaurant was clean, and the atmosphere felt comfortable and family-friendly. You can really tell the team cares about both food quality and customer satisfaction.
What stood out the most was the authenticity of the flavors. Every dish tasted freshly prepared with quality ingredients and traditional spices. It reminded us of homemade food and authentic South Indian cuisine rather than the overly commercialized versions many places serve.
Overall, we had a wonderful experience and will definitely be returning to try more dishes from the menu. Highly recommend Amogham Indian Restaurant to anyone craving flavorful Indian food, especially South Indian snacks, appetizers, and curries. One of the best Indian dining experiences we’ve had in the area.”
