Restaurants in Redwood City

“Best scallops ever everything was cooked to perfection wonderful servers and the owner makes you feel like family”

“Great! I love this place. So good.”

“I don’t think I’ve ever come here and been unsatisfied with the food or service. Every time I do come in, I wonder why I haven’t come more often. Food is consistently amazing, service is surprisingly great for an order ahead type restaurant, and it’s an overall quick dining experience.”

“When it comes down to Mediterranean food, I would fall into Mazra. However, Mazra now has a worthy rival! What's unique about a smaller restaurant like Nomadic Kitchen is that you feel the place more intimated. I like how the owner/manager and server take a great care of us. When we are about to order 4 choices of mezze, the owner/manager said he will take care of the choices for us and give us samples of everything else as well. The result: the beautiful palette of colors and flavors! I was a bit surprised that we got bread rather than pita. Still, it was amazing! We got the grilled lamb, which is quite nice, no hard-to-chew pieces at all. On top of that, the rice and bulgar (I guess) are so delicious with different fragrance and texture. The dishes are well thought out and so healthy as well. This place becomes one of the most amazing Mediterranean restaurants with reasonable prices. I definitely will come back and eat there again.”

“Amazing food and excellent service - highly recommend”

“I had the mango pudding and it was sooo good. Definitely a must visit for coconut lovers! Currently have about 4 vegan pudding options and other drinks. Updated from previous review on 2025-11-08”

“This was a pleasant surprise. The menu is limited obviously but everything on it is delicious. We will definitely be back. For three people to have dinner with an appetizer and a beer was around $50. What a value. I will attach a recent copy of the menu”

“Great food and excellent service”

“An amazing sushi experience, highly recommended”

“Mr Ralph Carico is the most skilled trader I've ever encountered, I will certainly advise everyone to utilize his service, He’s so wonderful Ralph Carico.”

“I love this place — the coffee is top quality, and you can grab a great lunch at the same time. They offer a nice variety of drinks and meals, whether you’re dining in or just stopping by. My favorite are the cappuccino and homemade cookies ✨️✨️✨️. The atmosphere is cozy and stylish, the kind of spot you'd absolutely consider for a casual date or meet-up. Highly recommend!”

“yo comiendo con un servicio para este cliente por sus seguidores y un servicio”

“Amazing food and excellent service!”

“My experience with Broadway Masala has been outstanding and extraordinary. Customer service 5 out of 5. Food 10 out of 5. Yes 10. Amazing food. Love this place. Staff amazing. Chef amazing. Thank you for being so good. We have a place to dine for every special moment now. Five star hands down. 🤗”

“Very tasty and reasonably priced food. The owner and chef Amir is an amazing guy who always makes you feel welcomed and is very dedicated towards his craft.”

“Excellent servers, friendly owner and the atmosphere is very cozy and beautiful. The red pasta was al dente & yummy. The pizzas crust is just too crispy, hard and thin for us. The toppings tasted great though. The oil drops add great flavor. I still recommend trying once in case you like their type of crust.”

“I love Cuco’s!! All women staff. They do everything right.”

“I recommend Tacos Y MARISCOS El GORDO because of their yummy delicious SHRIMP tacos are my favorite plus I’ve had their Quesadilla and Mexican style shrimp cocktail… I like the fact that their children whom are teenagers work part time whom are polite and friendly like their parents”

“Having a restaurant focused on corn is a novel idea. Food is good, sometimes spicy, and ask for more spice if you need it, and it's easy to be gluten-free here if you need that, and vegetarian if you need that. This is a small place, kind of a lunch spot and a take-away place.”

“Amazing sandwiches and bread!!!!”

“Zadna is wonderful.The food is absolutely delicious and the people are fabulous. Please make sure to support them.They deserve it.”

“By far my favorite mexican food in the area and the owner/operator is really friendly too. We now live almost an hour away from here but this is still our go-to taco spot. Great tacos, quesadillas, and agua frescas.”

“The decor and atmosphere is beyond beautiful along with the presentation 5/5 along with friendly waitresses who came by in the beginning but nobody followed up toward the end since it was self service menu online.

The Shawrma sandwich was 4/5
However the rice 🍚 plate with kabobs was 3/5, meat was decent but probably the worst rice I have tried at any restaurant. I just couldn’t eat, tasted stale something like you would taste from the previous day, I asked the server to get us another rice as it didn’t taste good as it seems like an old patch. He went back there and got me the same rice but warmer. I mean how bad can you mess up the rice. I would rather been told we don’t have any rice right now but we have a salad as alternative I would have took that than dealing with rice that I paid for and can’t eat.
I also go 2 sides of fries, 🍟 they were good but double fries killed the enjoyment of the potatoes. Either they double fry them or get them frozen pre fried which didn’t match the quality and standards this restaurant has been given.
Unfortunately I wouldn’t pay for the premium prices and lower quality again. I’ll probably get the chicken shawarma but that’s about it.”

“Everything was great. Waiters were friendly. Overall 5/5!”

“We stopped in on a whim while traveling and we’re so glad we did! We met one of the owners and she explained the history! So interesting! Good, drinks and service were great! I highly recommend!”

“Burma Spice is a Burmese restaurant on El Camino Real in Redwood City. It is situated in a busy strip mall, making parking tight. They have outdoor seating. The food was better than expected and service was solid. Good choice for trying Burmese food on the Peninsula.

Safety Pluses - Online menu, Outdoor seating, Delivery services available, online ordering.

Food Review:
Tea Leaf Salad ($19.99) Romaine lettuce, fried yellow beans, garlic chips, sesame & sunflower seeds, peanuts, tomatoes and jalapenos all tossed with fermented green tea leaf dressing was mixed up tableside. Nice version with good ingredients, a moderate dressing and not much spice. 9/10

Burma House Noodle ($19.99) Rice noodle with red bell peppers, onions, cabbage and egg, with crushed peanuts & lemon on the side is on the sweet side. Less noodles than expected, still an enjoyable dish. 8.5/10

Overall - Very Good
Food - Very Good
Decor - Good
Service - Good
Value - Very Good

Would we come back - Yes”

“I loved my experience there - great food and cocktails.”

“pizza is great highly recommend the margaritas pizza”

“Great food and fast friendly service. A great place for burgers.”

“The pizza here is INCREDIBLE. I’ve had pizza here as a dine in customer as well as a takeout customer. It was great both times.

And the service is great too! I would highly recommend.”

“Fantastic food and service, great for special occasions.”

“Great omakase, dry age sushi is a unique experience in the Bay Area and I’d say in the US in general. The dry age lean blue fin tuna was an amazing experience. The sake pairing was very good as well and was enjoyable as I slowly went through my course. I got to sit counter side with the chef and had a wonderful time with my friends. Very imitate lighting in the space and an experience. My friends and I noted the music played is interesting choice but amusing for us as we were having a good time”

“Great place For the best sushi in the Bay Area.”

“We went for lunch. Chose the 8-couse option, and had a wonderful time. Service, food, and the ambience were all superb.

Pro tip, you can actually order dinner omakase during lunch!”

“It's a relaxing environment after a long day at work. The sushi was amazing & most rolls are already made w/rice paper which we love. A must try!”

“recuérdame reservación taquería por chiquitas buenor por editor de facebook Rigoberto Muñoz ochoa”

“Great service, food was delish. Chef made special sushi dish ( not on the menu) that was FIRE! My new to go place.❤️❤️❤️”

“A solid dim sum place with a Japanese twist. The food is really solid. They have some really amazingly unusual Japanese beers. Like matcha IPA. So good. Love this place.”

“The chicken and chives dumplings were so warm and tasty. 🥟 the place is cozy and you can tell that all the food is made with love ♥️ have the food while it’s warm!”

“Enjoy Nepalese food. Yummy on tummy”

“Wonderful neighborhood restaurant.”

“Beautiful place, nice service! It’s my first this place,maybe soon again!”

“Went here twice for a film screening and Dust Breaks' EP release party—both different and great events! Good vibes, warm & inviting while having great staging for different kinds of events to play with. As an artist myself, I'd like to play a show here in the future for its vibes, drinks, easy access to food along the area, and friendly service! Shoutout to Allan for the friendliness and tech help!”

“Delicioso todos. Really enjoyed service and the food.”

“Loved the food. Delicious and good portions. Loved the Appetizers”

“I frequently visit Carl's Jr
Located on 5th st
San Francisco
Being in redwood city now and seeing a Carl's Jr within walking distance from where I live
I couldn't help but go and have a nice meal
I do have to say though... San Francisco accepts food stamps
Not so, with redwood city”

“Me gusto todo caliente 🔥 estuvo muy buen servicio”

“One of the better of the franchise in the surrounding cities, as far as food and service go. The only downside is the lack of seating and a big sign in the dining area that states you are only welcomed for 30 minutes, and after that it's considered loitering.”

“Hey, it's a McDonald's, so considering that, it was a good one.juicy meet, fresh ingredients. An indoor air conditioner PLAY House for kids. Drive through alsp”

“recomiendo pero deben tener ensaladas para la gente que no comen gluten porque cuando me toca ir nuca incuentro pero lo de más está bien buen servicio bien inguienico recomiendo por editor de facebook El vagabundo Rigoberto Muñoz ochoa idelas páginas del amor de mivida”

“Found a gem! They have freshly made Sfogliatella that was awesome with all its crisp flaky layers and lemony filling (ate it so fast that I forgot to take a pic). Finally found a place that makes them perfectly in the US!

Their anise biscotti were really good too. The right level of crunchiness, unlike the hard rock that are often sold elsewhere.

The panettone was moist and fluffy—the way I love!! The price was quite decent for the quality. Hope they’d make some with almonds and almond crust~

They also had veal stuffed ravioli (only sold during thanksgiving and Christmas months) that we haven’t tried yet.

Looking forward to get their ricotta pie/cake during Easter!”

“Saying nothing speaks to the exceptional quality of CCC. So…I never mention anything about CCC to my guests and out of town visitors. I don’t need to because it is virtually guaranteed that they will ask me where I get my coffee once they try some:) My worst morning is when I run out of CCC beans and have to use a store bought back up I keep on hand. The difference is palpable. Don’t miss out on this local treasure!!”

“1st time there but I liked it. wouldbdefinelty go back”

“I have been a customer there for 1 year and I love it, this is best Boba place in redwood city, I highly recommend this place if you want Boba, whoever didn't rate 5 stars, I want what your smoking”

“La comida es super deliciosa 👌 y el servicio que ofrecen es excelente”

“Great tacos al pastor in town 👍🏻😋”

“Excelente Panaderia, invitados”

“I'm SO glad someone mentioned 'mom & pop' - this place reminded me of the local places I grew up going to in Hawaii... (& hard to find here)

The Bento boxes are so oishi!!! The salmon teriyaki serving was huge and cooked perfectly (both pieces)... We also got chicken katsu & chicken teriyaki - both were great. Veggies - cooked & a side salad... Great value for the portions.

Now someone mentioned the curry was 'watery' - that IS Japanese curry. I didn't order it this time, but that's on my list to try on our next visit.

This is the perfect comfort food place - simple, tasty, good value - all prepared and served by a very nice couple.”

“Great Cask style beers and even better service from Chrissy at the bar. I also recommend the fish and chips!”

“El mejor pollo de Redwood City 😋😋😋🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”

“Wow! I am really impressed by the gelato here. I popped by on a whim and I’m honestly blown away by how clean their gelato tastes. Their gelato isn’t heavily flavored or give off that icky artificial sweet after taste, so if you’re used to baskin robbins this place is not for you. However, if you are (a) looking for a sweet treat that doesn’t make you feel guilty or crummy afterwards or (b) Asian (“not too sweet” is our ultimate compliment after all) then run don’t walk!! I tried their chestnut flavor and their ube flavor. The ube was just right with a light ube taste, toasted coconut, and a hint of vanilla. The gelato was not a ghastly fake purple color. I’ve never been able to finish a whole cone of ice cream/gelato before because it always ends up overwhelmingly sweet, but the gelato here was just too good! I’m going to recommend this spot to all my friends.”

“Delicious Gourmet Burgers!”

“Great small family owned and run bagel cafe. The bagels are fresh as can be, have a large variety and are reasonably price. They are the best and freshest bagels on the Peninsula. My wife and I love the lox cream cheese combo bagel. They don’t skimp on cream cheese, unlike Noah’s, served warm with great smells of the topping. Very nice outdoor patio to enjoy your brunch. They also have a variety of meat bagel sandwiches to choose from Al top notch and carefully made.”

“Lovely quaint little homestyle Italian deli with sandwiches, sausages, salads and soup. Thoroughly enjoyed, food was well proportioned but toothpicks and a nicer bathroom could have been better employed.

Dietary restrictions: Unfortunately for vegetarians/people who can’t eat meat, there are little to no options for non meat or dairy consumers. Most sandwiches have pastrami and cheese.

Kid-friendliness: Not too good if you have a picky kid. Can do substitutions; removals, etc but generally not kid friendly.”

“Favorite place: We always enjoy attending all the events at this wonderful cafe. It's a very cozy place to listen to great concerts or lectures. Thank you.”

“The bartender Michelle she’s good and hard worker”

“¡ La limpieza!! La atención al cliente y la esmerada creación de las pizzas, me dan la certeza de que al recomendarlo, no me van a dejar mal !! Los precios, accesibles y todo el establecimiento contribuye a pasar un grato fin de semana con familiares y/o amigos !”

“Easily the best sandwich of my lifetime. I paused after every bite, saying “Damn, this is amazing”. The bread had that perfect crust and taste. While I’m at it, it’s also hard for me to remember a better tasting chocolate chip cookie.”

“Love this spot. It’s nice having a neighborhood joint with great service. Great smash burgers that are consistently good. Everything they do here, they do well. They even have a patio out back.”

“What a delicious mango cake for Christmas Eve! Light, not too sweet, and fresh tasting. Even the kids liked it! Will be getting it again. Easy pickup at the Redwood City location.”

“YES, Best pizza 🍕 ever !!!”

“Best tortas EVER!!!”

“Not fancy just great Mexican food done right I go from San Jose just to eat here. The best and I mean best tripa and lengua tacos in the bay. Get extra green sauce and a little red to go. And carrots and lemon. Squeeze the lemon. Hit the salsa and enjoy”

“Great just like my mom’s homemade cooking Carrot cake moist. Good. Coffee. Waiters are Courteous”

“Honestly you can't be disappointed with a mountain mikes pizza, less is more and the free games they have there make bringing your children even better. Best place to go for a night you don't want to cook”

“buenísimo 👍lo recomiendo 💯💯💯”

“Everything is fine, yeah, everything 👍😍😍”

“Came here during the week for their popular lunch special and it did not disappoint! For less than $20 I got chicken teriyaki (get it with crispy skin), salad and California rolls. The lady who workers here (I believe is the owner) is one of the nicest people I have ever met. I will definitely be back and encourage others to give this place a try!”

“Amazing ramen with rich, flavorful broth and perfectly cooked noodles. The quality and taste are consistently excellent. Depending on the day, you may have to wait to be seated, but once you are, the service is fast, efficient, and well organized. Definitely worth the wait and highly recommended.”

“For a long time I had not eaten an authentic birria from Michoacan.
Truly come the atmosphere, the service and above all the food is made by hands ✋️ they cook deliciously!!”

“She is wonderful to work with. I have used her twice now. Once for a Mickey Mouse Twoodles cake and just recently for a baby shower. We got lemon for the cake and snickerdoodle for the cupcakes and when I tell you everyone loved them both. Her cakes are delicious and she does and amazing job with decorating them you send her a picture of what you want and she will not disappoint.”

“I was referred to this by a coworker and we decided to do catering for an in office event. We ordered the most popular options (Turkey, ham, roast beef and veggie options). Everything was amazing! Communication was there and service was great! The owners are so sweet and kind! Food is delicious and fresh! If I could give a 10 star I would!”

“Excelente atención los tacos 🌮 de pastor y zuadero riquísimo el agua de horchata riquísima 100%recomendado”

“Lovely owner and delicious frozen yogurt with probiotics :)”

“You never go wrong with Happy Lemon for boba. The location is in the heart of Redwood city. The parking is a bit hard, then you walk to the strip mall to get to the shop. The staff was friendly. My friend accidentally ordered the wrong item, and staff were happy to fix it. The shop is small with few tables, but it’s very neat and clean”

“buena servicio y buena variedad en el menu”

“Simply Amazing! Love this place!!”

“The best yogurt 🍦, at woodside Rd”

“Very nice cafe, everything is fresh and delicious.
Got fried jumbo shrimps with vegetables. Stunning!!! Piece of art!

Very nice vibe, gread indoor and outdoor sitting.
Burata peach salad is heavenly! Thank you!”

“The Bay Area has some of the fiercest competitive markets for Americanized Mexican food in the world. Of the many fine burrito-centric establishments I have tried here, Alva's is one of the best.

In other words, you can step up to a truck and minutes later be enjoying literally one of the best burritos in the world. Truly a silver lining of the modern world.

Bonus: Quesabirria and churros on demand.”

“Best coffee !!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“Absolutely delicious food. Daniel knows how to make the most flavorful, juicy, and authentic tacos I've had. It's a food truck parked on Woodside Road next to the Safeway parking lot. The Crispy Barbacoa tacos are to die for. They're served with fresh salsas and consome to dip your tacos into. Support this restaurant and enjoy.”

“Fresh delicious pupusas and tasty, good sized burritos at a reasonable price.”

“Great Korean food! I like that I can build my own binimbap with salad. I also requested French fries with cheese and homemade kimchi since I liked it when I tried from a food truck before. Sooooooo good! Not on the menu, but worth asking for.”

“The carnitas was wonderfully flavorful, juicy, and smoky BUT a little too salty on its own. I liked their taco as I think everything is more balanced—would absolutely recommend. Combo #3 was overall too salty to be enjoyable for me as I found the sides of #3 to be quite salty, which was too much in addition to the salty carnitas.”

“Located in a very small "strip mall" type location so I think some people may not give this place much consideration. But... I decided after a decade of living locally to go in and get a taco plate. The atmosphere is not the greatest but the food is amazing! And the portions are HUGE. I was able to get 3 meals out of one $15 plate there. Great flavor, perfect amount of hot sauces, they even put a giant jalapeno on top. I highly recommend. They also serve Breakfast.”

“BEST everything! A must visit. We were on a tour of California and kept returning - best steak we've ever had - the paella was fabulous - the duck confit, amazing - the charcuterie platter is ridiculously good - all washed down with amazingly delicious wines paired perfectly by the expert taste buds of sommelier, chef and owner, John Graham-Taylor - HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”

“I have been a customer there for 1 year and I love it, this is best Boba place in redwood city, I highly recommend this place if you want Boba, whoever didn't rate 5 stars, I want what your smoking”

“They have a great selection of desserts and tarts. We tried many items there and everything was excellent. We also ordered a kids custom cake and Sweet table of mini's and it turned out perfect! My personal favorites include the petits fours cookies, eclairs, vanilla cake with strawberries and their delicious coffee/ Lattes. Their breakfast and lunch sandwiches are a must try! They now also have Gelato! My husband recently placed a corporate catering order from them for a variety of breakfast and dessert items and was very happy as well. Highly recommend!”

“Loved the food. Delicious and good portions. Loved the Appetizers”

“I don’t think I’ve ever come here and been unsatisfied with the food or service. Every time I do come in, I wonder why I haven’t come more often. Food is consistently amazing, service is surprisingly great for an order ahead type restaurant, and it’s an overall quick dining experience.”

“Such a great place. Beautiful outdoor dining! 🥰🥂💕”

“Food : is good. The crab, and shrimp meats were nice and firm. Season on the food was good not too salty like most places.
My wife and kids are picky eaters and they enjoyed it.

In total not including we spent 119$ 2 adults 3 kids with a 10$ tip Price is fair so I wasn't sure what to expect. I've paid much more for not so good food..

Service was good, clerks were happy and bussers froendly and always making rounds.

The tips are shared and we found the food and service deserved a tip.
Would definitely recommend.”

“Wonderful neighborhood restaurant.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5

I had such a great experience here. The hospitality here is amazing and everyone is so welcoming from the moment you walk in.
A special shout-out to the bartender Fatima and the manager Ahmet seriously one of the best! You can tell they really care about the guests. If you’re looking for good food, great hookah, great vibe and top-tier service, Pasha is the spot!
I highly recommend this place!

💯✨”

“Great just like my mom’s homemade cooking Carrot cake moist. Good. Coffee. Waiters are Courteous”

“The folks who work here are obviously having a blast!”

“Beautiful place, nice service! It’s my first this place,maybe soon again!”

“Spicy deluxe chicken sandwich taste great. The meat is juicy and tender. Not over cooked. Nuggets is too Salty for my taste, dipping sauce is good though! For drive-through, they forgot to give us our waffle fries, be aware! Make sure check your food before you leave! Follow up post: They reply me with a phone call with apologies for the missing fries, and is kind enough to offer us a free Fries replacement plus a free dessert. That is a great customer service! I will be your return customer for sure!”

“Amazing ramen with rich, flavorful broth and perfectly cooked noodles. The quality and taste are consistently excellent. Depending on the day, you may have to wait to be seated, but once you are, the service is fast, efficient, and well organized. Definitely worth the wait and highly recommended.”

“We’ve been eating here for years and always find it to be comforting & cozy. The restaurant made some changes to their wine list, which makes it less diverse. The food is still good, but we believe it was tastier a couple years ago before changes to the menu were made. We look forward to returning and hope some of the previous wines return to the menu.”

“Zadna is wonderful.The food is absolutely delicious and the people are fabulous. Please make sure to support them.They deserve it.”

“Great food served quickly. Bacon Avocado onelette is my go-to and it never disappoints. Order a cup of coffee, and you get a full carafe on the side for your dining pleasure. Shredded hash browns with onions are fantastic. I recommend any time you need a nice breakfast or lunch!”

“The best BBQ around. A must try, you won’t regret it.”

“Came here on my way back from an event, and I'm not usually in the area. Also came here because there was a TooGoodToGo (2g2g) and thought I'd pick up for it.

I also purchased two drinks from here, one large milk tea, and one rose hip milk tea + matcha cloud. The rose hip milk tea was at 70% sweetness. A little on the sweeter side than I thought, but still very enjoyable. The flavor itself was strong enough to balance out the tea, and not necessarily overpower it. The cloud added a nice consistency and level of flavor to the drink overall.

The prices for these drinks seem very affordable to me. I'm happy the extra fun options were nothing to stretch my wallet over.

Drew (owner) told me that he'd just opened the store 3 months ago, and I hope it does well! I know I'm not in the area often, but hope if I'm ever nearby, I can nab another drink. He seems to have a good rapport with his staff, and good demeanor to customers, which certainly adds to the experience.

He told me he'd been rated low on 2g2g. He'd given me the option of picking what I wanted for drinks (2 large or 3 smalls), and then gave me a variety of flavors to choose from. The main low rating I saw on 2g2g in regards to this store was variety of drinks. In my opinion, getting 2 flavors for one trip is completely fine for a 2g2g pick up. Half the purpose of 2g2g is to help the restaurant/store with slow moving stock. I hope people stop rating this store low on 2g2g, because it doesn't deserve to be anything less than 4.5 in my opinion.”

“Very kind workers and customer service, the food also was really good definitely recommend. The kind girl working also gave us some dates to try and they were super good. Excellent hospitality 10/10”

“The gelato was really good.
The pistachio is probably the best one I’ve tried in the US so far.
Staff could be a bit friendlier and more disciplined or proactive at cleaning up (the trash can for clients was full and the staff did not want to throw away herself our two empty cups). I still gave it a 5 stars cause really really liked the gelato. Almost same as some I had in Italy.”

“Great place for eat and have great time whit friends very good atmosphere 👍☺️👍”

“My sister and I visited this shop for the first time! Marcos helped us narrow down what would best suit our palette.

We got the horchata and dulce de leche latte, both of which were phenomenal. The horchata had a great blend of sweetness and cinnamon, and didn’t feel watery compared to other shops.

The dulce de leche had a strong and consistent caramel flavor throughout the drink.

In addition, Marcos was incredibly kind and personable throughout our experience. Highly recommend and excited to try their other flavors next time! Thank you 💛”

“I stopped by Yummy Yogurts and had such a good experience! The staff was friendly and patient while I decided what to get. I definitely recommend this place if you’re craving something sweet and refreshing. I’ll be coming back for sure!💗🍦”

“👍😄🔥🌸🍎好吃非常好吃😋”

“Great restaurant for all occasions, corporate lunch, dating, family gatherings. Solo indulgence.
Reasonably priced, large portion size, great seasoning, I support. Recommend especially a dish that was somewhat fried rice like... The waiter recommended it and I like lol”
