“I enjoyed my visit with my best friend. I ordered the fish tacos, but would not order again. The nuggets of fish had no flavor. I would prefer a grilled piece of fish. I did like the slaw.”
“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.”

“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!”
“I was skeptical about all the 5-star reviews at first, but now I completely understand them. They make the most delicious Tostilocos and Tostiesquites I’ve ever had! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and well prepared. I highly recommend this place if you’re craving authentic Mexican snacks. I’ll definitely be coming back!”
“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.”
“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”
“My husband and I found this place as a lunch spot on our way to a tea farm tour, and I was glad to be able to find a vegan place to stop in. As you might have guessed based on the font choice of the front sign, this is definitely run by members of the Supreme Master Ching Hai group, and if you know other restaurants run by this group, you will know what to expect here as well. The food is accordingly Asian fusion with a healthy dose of Vietnamese, and features a lot of fresh and tasty vegetables and the obligatory slightly odd naming scheme, heh. My husband and I happen to really enjoy the food at these types of places, and Blossom Vegan was happily no exception. I got the vegetable chow fun dish, which was loaded with nice veggies, and my husband got the tofu banh mi (which I think was called a Saigon sandwich or something like that). Both were great! The decor is actually a little less strongly influenced by the Supreme Master Ching Hai branded items than some other such places, and I think the wall mural is cute. The location is clean and comfortable, and the staff is friendly and reasonably attentive, but it seems you do go up front to pay rather than paying at the table. I don't anticipate being in this area again soon, but I am happy to know a location like this is out here for any future excursions into the area! We'll definitely be back again if that happens!”

“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.”
“I love Korean fried chicken, so I had to come check out Ttobongee Chicken. I ordered the Yang Nyum chicken, it is at the top of my list for KFC! The flavor was on point, spicy and sweet. It came with a side of radishes and I also ordered steamed rice. I hope I can get back there soon. If you are ever in Moterey, check out Ttobongee Korean Style Fried Chicken!”
“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.”
“delicious food! I got the spanakopita & braised short ribs. 🥰🥰🥰”
“My mom chatted the chinese guy. I think he was the owner. A very nice guy and gave us 3 complimentary sprites. The noodles are thick and delicious. The broth is flavorful. Nice restaurant, and definitely hope to come back again!”

“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.”
“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.”

“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.”
“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!!!”
“Great selection of salsa bar, I like the green tomatoes salsa. It has lots of flavor! I got a asada torta and it was good. Asada has flavor and it was very tasty. The horchata is good! It’s not grainy and they made it right. Overall this place is really good, with good flavor and I recommend this joint.”
“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 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!”
“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.”
“The food was wonderful. Flavorful with beautiful plating.The restaurant was a simple but classy environment. Just the type of place I like to enjoy a meal.”

“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”
“Feels like it’s run an Asian Indian family. They don’t sprinkle that much toppings even if you ask for more. They will tell you there’s a limit. Very stingy when it’s build your own topping pizza.
They do very well with the pizza crust and it doesn’t get burnt.
Always many seatings no matter what hour or day you come.”
“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.”
“Good food and customer service great waiters and drinks also easy to see all of the screens so yiu wont miss the game you came to see.
I also enjoy the wide variety of music played.”
“Definitely will go back. We enjoyed my husband's birthday dinner. Great food, fast service and best customer service!”

“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!”

“We had an incredible dining experience at P.F. Chang's, and it was all thanks to our server, Jason C. From the moment we sat down, Jason was remarkably caring, attentive, and genuinely sweet—he went above and beyond the call of duty to make us feel welcome and valued.
Even though it was near closing time, Jason never made us feel rushed. Instead, he graciously allowed us to stay, relax, and continue our conversation in a warm, unhurried atmosphere. When a minor issue arose with the cream on our dish, Jason handled it with absolute perfection. He apologized sincerely and brought us a complimentary dessert to make things right, demonstrating exceptional pride in his work and customer care.
Jason truly understands what top-tier service looks like. Management material right here—his professionalism, warmth, and hospitality made our night truly delightful. Thank you, Jason!”

“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!”
“I love coming here with my family. Kids are cheaper based on height. The price is reasonable for the variety - sushi, fish and meat. The miso salmon fillets are a kids favorite, tender off the grill. I like the Aussie wagyu, bulgogi and brisket and it goes well with the seaweed salad, spicy cucumber and kimchi. Our server Jada was very nice and helpful!”
“the coffee's fresh and delicious try the butter squash soup creamy and sweet and the customer service is always dependable and pleasant”
“I had a Vanilla Latte and a Breakfast Sandwich. The latte was standard coffee house fare. I enjoyed it. The breakfast sandwich was fine, but it was definitely something I could have made at home. Store bought bread, quickly out together omelette and 2 strips of bacon. For $16 it should be better than I can make at home”
“If you're swinging by Stoneridge Mall or just need a reliable mid-week pick-me-up, It's a Grind Coffeehouse in Pleasanton is a top-tier spot to recharge. It has that easygoing, neighborhood vibe where you can just relax but the quality of what they’re serving easily competes with any specialty shop.
The Drinks:
* Cold Brew: Legit, incredibly rich, and full-bodied. It has deep, bold earthy notes that hit just right without tasting bitter.
* Black Iced Tea: Bold and refreshing with a subtle, satisfying tannin tang that shows they brew it right.
* Espresso: Consistently smooth, nuanced, and packs the perfect punch.
The Vibe & Treats:
The pastry showcase is a serious hazard to any diet. Their desserts are mouthwatering and make the absolute best mid-week treat. The team provides an authentic and connected experience every single time. You get genuine smiles and warm service rather than a rushed transaction.
Next time you’re power-shopping at Stoneridge Mall or just need a solid caffeine fix, do yourself a favor and grab a cold brew or iced tea from It's a Grind.”
“I didn’t get the owner name but she was super sweet the vibe is also super great as well. The place also was super cutely aesthetic. I got a matcha mango and it was super good! And my friend got the banana one it’s super good. It doesn’t have a strong matcha or banana it was super well balanced. The food there is super light so it’s great for a small snack to eat!! Definitely coming back here again!!”
“We went to the Union Jack for the first time today to watch the England/Argentina game today. The place was packed, but the staff was ready for us all and did an incredible job! They had a plan to ensure we were all hydrated and happy for the big event. We didn’t have any food, but are excited to return and try the food. Well done, Union Jack staff!”
“This is one of my go-to Korean BBQ spots. I’ve been here several times, and they consistently provide great service. Ordering through the iPads at each table is convenient, and the food arrives surprisingly fast. Options for AYCE or al la carte.
The food is tasty and worth what you pay for. Don’t expect anything fancy, but the restaurant is clean, efficient, and gets the job done. It can get busy during rush hour, so try arriving about 30 minutes early if you want to avoid waiting. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a Korean BBQ meal.”
“Looking for local delis, found this spot close to stone ridge mall. This location is inside an office building. I parked on the side in front of Charles Schwab. If you see the Charles Schwab entrance, go through the main entrance on the left and go straight.
Standard deli counter set up. Walk up ordering and take your pick from the menu. I choose the Italian. Comes with 3 meats: Salami, pepperoni, and ham. Full options of produce. They offer a variety of “spreads”, I choose the garlic and also the spicy spreads. All between what feels like fresh sour dough bread.
Service was fast. Staff were super friendly. From ordering to getting the sandwich it probably took 8 minutes and this was during 12:30pm lunch rush.
Sandwich is solid. Bread crunchy exterior and soft fluffy interior. Meat is proportional where you don’t feel like the “jipped” you, I think the spread adds a good flavor boost. They also offer free pickles and pepperonis on the side.
Interior has plenty of tables and chairs. Decent size dining hall. It’s within an office building so I can see they may get large volumes of people coming for their lunch. Worth a stop by if you want a sandwich. Heads and shoulders better than your standard subway/similiar chain sandwich place.”
“Absolutely packed inside due to the limited space but the food and service is great. Our server tiffany was super helpful and friendly. We even got a membership and will be back soon!”
