“The food is consistent and incredible. The staff is all friendly and helpful. You can almost always be seated immediately. Very delicious lunch specials. I love meat usually but the vegetarian options are fantastic. This is my favorite Indian restaurant in RWC.”
“Swekar was very helpful - thank you! - explaining dishes & making suggestions about which Nepalese dishes go together. The Buff momos, chilli badel (wild boar), aloo tikki (potato pancakes), & naan were all delicious!(The first time we ate here, we stayed with 'safe' choices. Delicious, but safe. The reviews encouraged us to try new dishes!)Hāmī phirtā hunēchauṁ! (We will be back!)”
“We ate at La Viga Seafood & Cocina Mexicana. It was nice. I thought it would be a bit fancier because I saw it recommended somewhere. The seafood dish with different kinds was really good, especially the shrimp. The tacos cost $6 each, which seemed a lot, but they tasted great. The chips were the best part—they were not greasy and very crunchy. They gave us two kinds of sauce; the green one was the best. The cold beer was also really good with the food. Even though I expected something a bit different, we liked it a lot and want to go back to try more dishes.”

Restaurants by Cuisine
“Two visits about a decade apart; I am a regular! I have nothing bad to say-service is good and prompt, food fresh and hot...had an outstanding draft German Pilsner last weekend. It had been a very long time since I had a draft German beer. Lesson for me? Take a break from the strong CA IPAs once in awhile. :)”

Restaurants with Delivery
“Details. Details Details. What a refreshing, beautiful experience. I can't get over the experience of this restaurant. The kindness, the service and beautiful location made me so excited to come back. Love the menu and the exabition kitchen! I'm excited to make this my spot!”
“I live on the east bay but work in the peninsula. Was craving birra tacos and found them on yelp. My husband has food allergies but was willing to try the chicken soft tacos. I brought everything home across the 92. He didn't have an allergic reaction! He loved them so much, he asked me to buy them again afterwards work the next day! The birra tacos were delicious as well! The consume (dipping) is really good! Everything was wrapped nicely and still warm by the time I got home. The second day I tried a chicken burrito and that was delicious as well! I highly recommend!”
“Best coffee in the bay area! Ask for croissant and honey, it's in the secret menu, but it's perfection.PS: we come every month and it's always a delicious experience.”
“In search of a late lunch and the gorditas here caught my attention. Order comes with 2, and I went with the chicharon. May look small, but it was filling. Loved the texture of the crispy masa shell. Flavors of the inside was good, too - would've liked more of the chicharon. I'd definitely return as there are other menu items I'd like to try.”
“What a great discovery for me! I was waiting to order a sandwich close by, but it was taking too long. So, I walked over to Big Brothers Burgers and ordered the classic with fries. Wow! It was so huge yet delicious! Great service, and the ambiance was nice too. Highly recommend!”

“Random food truck I found on the side of the street lol, but it had good reviews so I had to try it. They are generous in their serving size and everything tasted pretty good too be honest. It's not as spiced as a lot of other restaurants, but that's also ok. I think it may have more turmeric than other places though. It's a one man army and the food is good, so 7/10.”

“It's awesome to see a gelato shop right in Redwood City and super excited to come and try some flavors next time.. really keen on the honey lavender, pistachio, lychee, butterfly pea, black sesame, tiramisu..”
“Phenomenal food and customer service. This was my first time trying Jamaican food, and I am blown away by the uniqueness of the flavors, the combination of spices in the rice and the meat is nothing I’ve ever tried before. The owner is the chef behind all meals made from scratch. This is definitely our new weekly spot!”

Sushi Shin
“Sushi Shin is an amazing premium sushi experience. The seafood is extremely high quality. Most fish are from Japan but are super fresh. Seasonality of seafood is also emphasized. Highlights of the meal were "fish cheese" and monk fish liver. The space is cozy and elegant. Sake list is quite impressive. Chef was fun, personable, and did a great job on explaining the food. Service is top notch as well.”
“Perfect menu of Irish fare. Great cocktails, too. This place has a busy event schedule with live music, trivia night, drag shows, etc. I love the dark green walls!”
“This was a special treat because I hadn't decided on where to eat and we figured that's pop in here when the other place that I wanted to go was full and so it was a pleasant Experience for all that it served -- great food, great ambience, lovely presentation and very pleasant folks who attended to our every request. While we were having brunch I wasn't too keen on having a tequila; which is part of what they also offer and they have their own distillery and make some of the finest mescal according to the owner who was also there. Overall a great place for any occasion. #TheBrokerWithAHeartParking: Small lot which fills up fast.”

“I ordered a pizza for delivery. It was delicious and came in record time even though they had a huge rush from a school fundraiser that night. Great pizza option when you’re in the neighborhood!”
“Chill, local-style deli with extremely good sandwiches. I ordered a toasted Italiano. Hella tasty, and the veggies were still perfectly crisp after the drive home. Think I demolished it in under 10 minutes. 10/10 will come again when I'm in the area.”
“I absolutely love this place, the food is great, good quality and reasonably priced.I frequently order for lunch or dinner, and food is always SO GOOD.Visited the place for the first time and is a very clean place, with good energy, and these lovely ladies that were on top of my order and treated me like a queen.Highly recommend the Super Burritos (is my favorite dish here) and quite unique, have not found another place as good as them.”
“"Flaming Dogs deli in Redwood City, CA is an absolute hidden gem in the Peninsula! From the moment you step in, you're greeted with warmth and hospitality. But let's talk about the food - their chicken salad is simply off the chain! Fresh, flavorful, and oh-so-satisfying. And let's not forget about the owner, who's one cool dude. His passion for food and dedication to customer satisfaction truly shine through. If you're looking for a lunch spot that's more than just a meal, put Flaming Dogs on your bucket list. You won't regret it!"”
“I am from Texas and we have amazing Mexican food there, but las chiquitas exceeded my expectations! I had the chicken chile relleno, and it was delicious! I love their pozole too’ you can’t go wrong with this place! Great food, prices and service!”
“Great place for lunch and dinner. Perfect tasting pizza all around. Always a welcoming staff and killer drinks! One of a kind super tasty sparkling Shirley temple too ( only because it's on tap! )A very great experience with this place. Highly recommend checking it out. Quick, easy, TASTY and a bunch of options too!”
“I just love this place. It’s such a great neighborhood low key vibe but mixed with some of the best food I’ve had in the Bay Area - unpretentious but inventive, high quality and just hand down delicious. I love that everyone who works at Bottleshop seems to really believe in Bottleshop. It means a lot to have all your staff excited about what this place is doing. The owners are well versed in all things wine and always have something fun on hand. Could not recommend this place more.”
“Scrumptious BBQ meats(you decide which one, or two, or more)& sides. Really good selections of sauces, and swift efficient service. Staff was great about checking in tooParking available, and good choice of heated indoor or outdoor seating”
“We had a great dinner with old friends and it was quiet enough to actually hear each other! Beautiful spot by the water, great service, and the food was quite good. I had the teriyaki skirt steak which was perfectly done and delicious. My husband's halibut was good as well. The bread and Mediterranean platter were just ok but the Fritto Misty was good. If you want to go to a really crowded, noisy, popular place, this isn't it. But it's busy enough, the food is decent, the service is great, and the ambiance is really nice. I'd definitely go back.”
“We had a phenomenal waiter. I asked about gluten free options since the menu was not marked, and he took me through the menu to explain what could and could not be safely prepared without cross contamination. Unfortunately, not many safe options! There are very few gluten-containing items, but they spoil most of the menu for me due to a shared fryer - so no homemade tortilla chips for me! The cocktails were great, the atmosphere was very pleasant, and the staff were friendly. I just wish they would modify kitchen practices to be more celiac friendly.Dietary restrictions: Minimal truly gluten free items due to cross contamination”
“Bagels are tasty but small and expensive. The lox was good enough but again the sandwich was pricey for the amount of bagel and lox you’re getting. It’s the only bagel spot around so it’s got us hooked there. Two bagels (only one lox) cost me $16 and change.”
“I’m a music producer/DJ and put on a gig here celebrating my recent album release. It was a total blast, and the staff went out of their way to address my vision for the event without any hesitation. This is a great space for any up and coming musical artist that is looking for an intimate venue with flexible options for stage/furniture layout, sound equipment, lighting and more. I didn’t have to bring any of my supplemental audio equipment to the gig as a lot of it was provided by the venue - that was super convenient!My audience had a fantastic time and I will definitely be playing more DJ gigs here!”
“What a fantastic find and worth a visit! The ambiance is simple, very clean and incredibly friendly. The food is amazing we all had completely different dishes from pancakes to lunch to Bulgogi, all so impressive. Our meal was topped off with complimentary watermelon and grape dessert, what a wonderful touch. I haven't seen this special kind of service in the bay at a cafe. Excellent food and service!”
“Great little coffee shop for simple drinks and beans. Beans and coffee were really well priced!! The owners are really friendly and knowledgeable. Don’t expect fancy drinks, but just good coffee. The mocha and cappuccino were both quite good. We’re excited to try the Ethiopian Guji beans. There are lots of cute mugs for sale, too. There isn’t much seating inside, so don’t expect to bring a book or your laptop. Parking can be tough, but if you’re patient you can find a spot on the street. Lots of food options around. Come visit today!”

“Highly recommend these locked and loaded flavorful Argentina empanadas.Luckily, my work hosted a lunch to showcase LatinX month so I had the opportunity to try this place.I must say everything was really good. I tried these empanadas:Championes (FAV)Prosciutto (another fav lol)Carne Sauve Meat - spicy!!Pollo SaltadoOn another note, the chimichurri sauce was good, and their salad was so fresh. For dessert, the Alfajores is an absolute must! Thank you work for expanding my palate Lolol :)”

“This place deserve few Michelin stars ?The steak was amazing. Kudos to the chef.Don't forget to order lamb shank. It's great.Parking is paid off street and may struggle to find one. It's right in the Redwood City downtown. Ambience is good. Not a lot of seating so do call and reserve a table. Everything is made in-house. Bloody amazing taste. Definitely recommend for Fine dining.”
“Ranzan is a wonderful restaurant serving traditional Japanese Kaiseki courses. The food was amazing and the presentation was exceptional. Will definitely be back.”
“It’s our first time to explore the Japanese food around this area and saw the review of this place.Have to say, the food and service impressed us. We arrived around 2 which there was almost no one during new year eve, and the staff is very warm to bring us water first without asking.The menu is all very tempting, and we decided to order 3 rolls and 2 appetizers.The fish is fresh and the rolls are flavorful!The restaurant is very clean and wide as well.Strong recommendation on this spot!”
“I've been a regular here for years. Love Donato and his entire staff. ❤️ Last time I visited also met a friendly couple who not only bought me dinner, but offered to crew me for one of the hardest ultra runs on the planet. So kind!!”
“From the service, to wait time, to food. This place is top notch. Best dumplings I’ve had in the Bay Area and yes I have tried a lot. I’m not getting paid for this review although I wish I was. Really good dumplings, try them out and get the chili ”
“We dined on a Thursday it wasn't very busy due to rain. However we were kindly waited on and served in a timely manner. The bathrooms were also clean! There is a front and back entrance and pickup is on the left side of the front entrance when you walk in about halfway through the restaurant. (Saw many people confused by this) They have many dishes that are classic takeaway options. We didn't try anything too spicy but will have to when I return. We ordered the double mushroom chicken, veggie and brown rice fried rice, pan fried pork dumplings, and scallion pancakes( who doesn't love fried dough?) . Everything was tasty and as expected. This may be become a regular takeaway spot if I'm in rwc!”
“Excellent food and service! Variety of raw, steamed, grilled dishes and the waygu sukiyaki was excellent.The neighboring table was noisy. Foreigners who speak loudly in an otherwise quiet setting. Otherwise the atmosphere was great.Will come back again.”
“Been coming to Higuma since the original owner and the place has certainly gotten better with the new owner. Food and the decor are much better now, but as a result the place is even busier than before. Totally worth the visit, just once or many more times.”
“The Food Was Great As Expected For That Price, The Customer Service Could've Been Better But The Overall Experience Was Good...Kid-friendliness: Quiet Environment With Outdoor Tables, Kids Would Love It...”
“One of the best places for outdoor brunch on the peninsula. Their champagne mimosas are good with generous portions. I wish they offered more for vegetarians with some Beyond burger or Impossible meat-based dishes. I do really miss their scones which they stopped serving some years ago. They were just such a delight and they are sadly missed.”
“The zaalouk and the lamb kabab were perfect.Perfect cook. Perfect seasoning.Perfect sauces to accompany my dishes.This hole in the wall is easy to miss.It is in a kind of back parking lot off of the main shopping area. It has a lot of competition, very near by.I loved it. It was exactly what a no-frills place like this should be.10 out of 10 I would go again.Vegetarian options: Lots of veggie friendly options. Some vegan!Dietary restrictions: They make what they make. If you want to adjust it they will do their best High chance of cross contaminationParking: Free shared lot. Very packed.Kid-friendliness: Sure. If they like Mediterranean food, they will like this.Wheelchair accessibility: Very accessible”
“We wandered in to Milagros for lunch and were soon greeted and taken to the cute patio area. We ordered chips and salsa, and got three delicious salsas and a bucket of fantastic tortilla chips. My niece had a fish taco and I had the chicken taquitos. She loved her taco, and the taquitos were absolutely perfect. Jose 'el diablo', ? was our waiter. He was entertaining and likeable, very sweet and funny. The service was beyond reproach.”
“I just love this place.

“My favorite item on the Carl Jr. menu is the Western Bacon Cheeseburger. The Carl's Jr. Redwood City location is very spacious, clean and usually not too busy. I hope this Carl location never goes out of business because nearby is In/Out Burger and Chick-fil-A.”
“I went to Redwood City Costco this morning and on my way there at the corner of Middlefield and Willow. I think the street, there is man standing there waiting to cross the street. I said OK no big deal he has the right away. He still standing there he just staring at nothing I thought that's a little strange, so eventually he does cross the street and I just kind of ignore him. No big deal I go park my car go inside and shop coming out of Costco on the same corner almost, the same man standing there I'm like that's odd. Why is that guy just standing on the corner of Middlefield and Willow, then I thought about it. This is a very busy busy intersection and I've seen people, do fraud cases by making accidents looking like they got hurt on this corner I know it happened to a friend of mine who hit a bicyclist on this corner, beware people. Drive Carefully watch out for fraudulent persons pretending to get hurt to try to sue you. It's a very busy street/corner. Call the police get a hold of me. I will testify against this guy. Maybe I'm just paranoid. But still I've seen it happen to my friend years ago. Be careful of this scam.”
“Shared my 76 year old birthday with a friend today. And where did I want to go? Denny's of course. Grew up with the grand slam special throughout my adult life and joined the birthday club some 20 years ago. Thank you for remembering my special day and to see you guys still have what it takes to be a family hot eating spot. Keep up the good work. (You guys should expand to Hawaii and the other Islands) Mahalo?”
“I can certainly count on a 5 star experience at my local Jack in the Box on 5th Ave, in RWC - the fast food service is on point and my vanilla shake are out of this world and are served with the biggest smile. My treat today a large vanilla ice cream shake and a big Cherry on top. Delicious! it really does take me to my happy place.Thanks Jack, you get a big A+ for fast food service today.Parking: Vanilla Shake is out of this world people!”
“This McDonald's is right off of Woodside Road. It has a small parking lot and a drive thru. I haven't been inside but have done drive thru a few times and it's been quick and efficient.They do have some (limited?) breakfast past 10am or whatever their cutoff is so you can always ask if they have your favorite breakfast item. I got a bacon egg and cheese McGriddle recently which is my go to and I like how crispy the bacon is. The pancakes are a tiny bit too sweet if I had to critique it, but that's okay I will still enjoy it!”

“I visited this amazing biscotti place. Their biscottis and cannolis were awesome and really good!! The owner was super kind and friendly. I think he is proud of his art. They became one of my favourite bakeries ☺️ I am lucky to have this nice place:) The best biscottis and cannolis I’ve ever tried!!!!”

“One of my go to Boba places in Redwood City. They have consistent quality tea drinks with chewy boba. They also have long hours of operation Great for a late night boba. I usually have the jasmine green tea. They also have good coconut milk, tea with red bean topping. There's no place to sit but it's right in front of Redwood city Hall.”
“Incredibly authentic tacos. Hands down the best al pastor I’ve found outside of San Jose! Lots of salsa given, loaded tacos with meat, and amazing atmosphere from the staff”
“Just got back from Taiwan and was missing my 飯團。 I happened to be in Redwood City so found the place on Google. I was very surprised to find a food establishment that is between all these auto collision and hauling businesses. I wasn’t sure I was going into the right place because nowhere on the façade did it say it was called taiwanese eats. Luckily, someone appeared at the window right away and told me that I needed to order first. I ordered two rice burritos for $7 each and could only finish one. The glutenous rice was delicious and the fish (魚鬆) and boiled egg inside was excellent as well. I will definitely be going back when I’m in the area. Lucky for me, I have another rice burrito to eat later tonight.”
“Such a cute little hole-in-the-wall donut and breakfast shop. The staff were very friendly and quick to get us seated. The food was amazing; the perfect place for a short brunch!”
“Glad this place survived the pandemic however it’s to go only which is totally fine. Food is great good portions and price is still good. Love the mom and pop vibe.”
“I've always liked happy lemon since their taste of all the happy lemon drinks in different branches have always stayed consistent. It's my first time at this particular location & I came at a slow time during mid day which is nice since the other locations I've been usually gets packed. The ambiance of this location is so nice since it's so clean inside & it's located near a lot of different food chains. Totally would go back to this location.”
“Standard taqueria fare, but very high quality. Super fast and friendly service. Meat and tortillas are top notch. The chile oil is amazing and really sets them apart. Fair warning, it's sooo spicy... it will hurt you. It's worth it though.”
“Fantastic sushi place! We've been here before and we keep coming back. The salmon toro is the gem on the menu worth trying. All the sushi sashimi and rolls are top notch. They also have an entire section for vegetarian friendly sushi. This place has something for everyone.”
“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.”
“He visitado Taquería Gonzalez en diferentes ocasiones y aún me queda probar más comidas del menú. - Birria de chivo: a mi pareja le encantan los tacos y el consomé - Menudo: Está rico, traten de venir temprano para alcanzar lo mejor! - Tacos de asada: la carne es reseca para mi gusto, la sirven muy dorada pero me encantan las tortillas a mano. Recientemente agregaron variedad de salsas a la mesa, antes se le tenían que pedir a la mesera. - Chilaquiles verdes: riquísimos! Ojalá tuviera una foto. Las tortillas son doraditas y la salsa super rica. - Morisqueta: muy rica - Enchiladas michoacanas: deliciosas, no las sirven muy grasosas y el pollo tiene el "crisp" perfecto. - Bebidas: hemos probado agua de horchata y la michelada. Ambas super ricas! La razón de las 4 estrellas es porque estaría bien que aceptaran tarjeta y porque la mayoría de las sillas estan desbalanceadas, estaría bien que le invirtieran en mejores sillas.”
“For what it is this place is great. Lots of old school arcade games, pinball, the claw games for grabbing toys and candy. And the foods not too bad eitherKid-friendliness: The games are great for kids”
“Fun atmosphere with polite staff. My Cilantro Camarones was excellent with just the right texture and taste. Best part is, I love how they use sheets of translucent onyx for their light wall. Each piece is Mother Nature’s work of art. They are much better in person. Oh and of course the Guacamole is fantastic too.Parking: Street parking is available but limited.Wheelchair accessibility: Newer building, so, accessible.”

“I saw excellent service, delicious fries, a very soft burger with light cheese, very sweet drinks, please be careful.And I really like your logo. I can't wait to buy you a pair of these socks.”
“Looking for something different with a nice view ? girls in bikini if that is offensive I apologize but it's a reality here drinks are for the most part good but the women working are the real reason you go maybe not a place to go with kids or family.”
“Great Mexican food with small chips/salsa bar. My current favorite is the crispy tacos, because they melt the cheese on the inside. Great place to watch sports as well. Cash only!”
“Been here twice now, the fries have been solid both times so always get those.We've tried the Chicago, Italian, and Kraut dogs, and the cheesesteak sandwich.Chicago dog is the best of the 3. Cheese steak is a good size. I wish they toasted their buns, everything was soft but I like crispy edges. Their milkshakes tastes like it's made from real ice cream and apple pie slices are large! The pie was cold so I don't recommend if you're craving hot apple pie right away. Luckily I live near by and we were able to reheat the pie and enjoy it at home”
“Obviously, this is still a Taco Bell and so the food is never going to be considered gourmet, but I am giving five stars for the consistent quality and service of this particular location. Every other Taco Bell that I have been to always end up making some kind of mistake, whether it is forgetting to put something in an item or just messing up the order entirely. Due to working nearby, I have frequented this establishment and my order has always been correct. The food here, at least for me, always comes out hot and fresh. This is especially apparent when I order the Nacho Fries or Fiesta Potatoes, which often comes out cold and stale at other locations. While this review may have been written after some herbal influence, I honestly do feel that this place is one of the better Taco Bell locations.”
“For years my family and I have always liked the food, the only thing is that the cashier they have should be more friendly and respectful because it seems that she is always in a bad mood, otherwise everything is very good.”
“I actually like The Habit. We have been there a number of times in Redwood City. Except for a time when we went in and tried to use the Kiosk they now have setup, all is usually as good as expected. I will not use the kiosks again. There were problems with the order and the cashiers could not help because we used the kiosk. The food is good though. I don't live in the area anymore but I will try them where I live now.”
“We landed at SFO, and my California-born husband immediately requested that I place an online order to pick up Round Table pizza on the way to visit family in Woodside. We arrived 10 minutes early, so they put the pizza in ASAP. It was done in ten minutes, was steaming hot, and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. Friendly staff work at this location, which is clean and has parking.”
“Great Customer Service. But it's really packed, and they don't really have a good parking lot structure. So I definitely recommend ordering because either way, food is great. But be patient with getting your food when coming here.”
“Is this the best Jack in the Box in the country? The fries are always fresh, and the sandwiches look like they come out of an ad. The workers have always been very friendly with me as well.The only thing they need to fix is convince corporate to fix the app which somehow gets slower and worse with every redesign.”
“I happen to love your food and i decided to take my BK crown onto an aircraft. There was an annoying booger on the plane so i decided to speak my mind and i got removed from the plane and now i am a world wide meme. Please give free burgers and one more crown because the ninja stole mine on the plane. Thanks <3 Love your burgers btw they go crazy on the aircraft”
“The new manager Maria makes this place better. It didn't seem like it was too friendly in the past. Glad to see this morning a new manager that is very sweet and kind! Food was hot and delicious ??.”
“This is the very first time I didn't have to wait a long time to be helped. When you walk in, sometimes I'm waiting. It seems like five or ten minutes just to order a soda , but not at this location. They also had pineapple fantas zero which was a treat. To tell you the truth , the other locations , so focus on drive through that , they kind of ignore people when they walk in.”
“Love love me some KFC, I can feel my arteries clogging as I speak if you're Karen or a Karen, like guy dude take it somewhere else minimum wage just trying to make money to go to the movies Jesus what do you expect? I did a huge thing of chicken huge fry oh, you know the works. It was delicious. I was happier than a pig in slop, when you go to KFC try to be realistic it's not the Savoy it's not some high end restaurant with fancy French waiters or gourmet chefs know come on guys give me a break. As you get older like me, you kinda see the little things that really matter not that they had to wait one minute for someone that noticed me, you know, etc. etc. OK enough of me bitching everyone have a good Christmas all right take care.”
“Well, everyone who knows me well knows that my go to stress food is a 3 crunchy taco supreme meal and I blame my childhood eating habits. Pros: Definitely fresher and better put together than the one on el Camino real. Because it's more out of the way, there's pretty much never a wait in the drive through, at least in the evenings. Near other stores like kohls and dollar tree, heck it's even near Kaiser so I guess I know where I'm going if I've had a rough doc visit! Cons- I've only done the drive through here but the drive through is oddly placed relative to the exit / entrance, and the store itself is in a bit of an awkward corner off veterans.”
“This place was amazing, the lomo saltado was so tasty and delicious that I asked for an order of it to go, that’s other than the one I ate.The yuca frita, el arros chaufa (might of misspelled that, see picture was phenomenal.We were visiting family and they recommended this restaurant.A must try restaurant and embody the Peruvian culture, oh yeah the decorations were nice also. See all pictures”

“Fun atmosphere with polite staff. My Cilantro Camarones was excellent with just the right texture and taste. Best part is, I love how they use sheets of translucent onyx for their light wall. Each piece is Mother Nature’s work of art. They are much better in person. Oh and of course the Guacamole is fantastic too.Parking: Street parking is available but limited.Wheelchair accessibility: Newer building, so, accessible.”
“Enjoyed the marufuku bites, chicken karaage bowl and yuzu drink.I got the chicken paitan dx to go .. lucky to get it as it's limited 15/day n got extra noodles too.. yummy ?Amazing experience”

“This bar is perfect! Moved into the area looking for a local dive and this is the best spot. Robert (the owner) has fostered an environment filled with amazing people, from staff to customers. Non-pretentious karaoke bar where folks support each other regardless of skill, and are just there for a good time. You can bring in outside food if you're looking for a bite to eat. Couldn't recommend this place enough.”
“It's a good old fashioned pub. Nothing fancy, just a nice comfortable place to have a drink and make a friend. There is a large outside area where you can smoke and have a drink, which is hard to find. It's my go to place after a hard days work. The service is the best !!”
“This a review of the Taiwanese Eats, part of a take out only place near RWC Costco. The purple rice Fan Tuan are great and the pig’s ears are problem the best in the Bay Area the at they slice it thin and with great sauce. The bento boxes are decent, but order from here for the fan tuan and Pg’s ears! Negligible parking, you just pick up so most people just do a quick wait on the street.”
“There cakes have really grown onto me-Presentation: 5Quality: 5Quantity: 4Taste: 5Value: 4Life is too short for bad cake and wine - If you do not believe me ask Marie Antoinette”
“I’ve only ordered delivery (free with min purchase) every time the rotisserie chicken is always juicy even the white meat, pizza is good - tried both gluten free and regular, lasagna is very tasty. Quality of the food has consistently been very good.”
“Absolutely amazing!! I ordered a butter chicken pizza, it’s a must! The service was just as impeccable as the food. I went during the day and definitely plan to go back in the evening, there’s a bar and pool table, looks very fun!”
“Is my first time visiting this place my review is to describe the service I order a Very delicious shrimp Taco and a Ceviche Tostada good flavor , good portion , very good service . I will come back again .”
“Great flavors from gansito to rompope they have a huge variety and all taste great Also their esquites and other snacks like tostilocos and fresas con crema are delicious Plenty of options here”
“This is by far the best place to go for some really moist and perfectly cooked carnitas. This place is pretty straight forward; Carnitas and tortillas with just few side selections which are rice and beans. That's it. This is why they perfected cooking up the carnitas.I highly recommend ordering the Combo #3 which is 6 freshly hot tortillas, 1/2 lb mixed carnitas (meat and facial pieces), a small half cup of beans and rice. The meat literally falls apart and is drenched with it's juices. I love the fatty parts such as the cheeks, ears, and other parts; this is perfect with the salsa. This combo was priced at $15 which is a great choice for a first timer. I do want to come back again and try their burrito. Their burrito is huge! basically an arm length lol. I will be back again!”
“Absolutely adore this place! From the delightful staff, delectable food, to the charming atmosphere, it's a complete package!Plus, their mimosas are unparalleled, even for someone like me who doesn't usually indulge. I've been a loyal patron since day one, and my go-to dish has to be their breakfast tacos! ?”
“What a terrific lunch spot - great variety of delicious foods, fantastic prices, and water front seating. It’s frankly unbeatable and the staff were so kind and courteous to us. We got pizza and hide ceasar salads either two drinks for $25!!!!Dietary restrictions: Health conscious eaters welcomedKid-friendliness: Great high chairs and stimulating location by the water”
“it’s extremely good; the pizza always be on pointKid-friendliness: there extremely nice the place isn’t that big but owners and workers are extremely helpfulWheelchair accessibility: there’s ramps for people that need a wheel chair”
“The service here is unparalleled- the owner, who's also the one taking the orders most of the time, is so incredibly friendly and a real joy to talk to. I've been here so many times and talking with her is consistently a highlight of my day. The food here is also delicious - there are a lot of options, including the chicken teriyaki and various sushi selections. Nothing I've had so far has been a miss. The indoor seating is a bit smaller so I generally get food to go, but the option is certainly available for those who are interested”
“Great spot to get your morning boost. Whether that's coffee, tea or a pastry. Not only is there a good amount of choices but the customer service is amazing. I've become a regular here and have to say it's been because of the great customer service. Shout out to the sweet ladies running the spot!!”
“Love this place. Great food choices, see what you're ordering, friendly and good seating options. Thank you for providing a fun and yummy place to eat...kind of cafeteria style. ???”
“From the service, to wait time, to food. This place is top notch. Best dumplings I’ve had in the Bay Area and yes I have tried a lot. I’m not getting paid for this review although I wish I was. Really good dumplings, try them out and get the chili ”
“Excellent food and service! Variety of raw, steamed, grilled dishes and the waygu sukiyaki was excellent.The neighboring table was noisy. Foreigners who speak loudly in an otherwise quiet setting. Otherwise the atmosphere was great.Will come back again.”
“Very good, delicious and above all very varied, everything we have eaten is in excellent condition in portions and above all the flavor is very Sinaloan, the prices are very affordable and the service is fast and careful, the family atmosphere is excellent ?”
Latest Reviews
“I just love this place. It’s such a great neighborhood low key vibe but mixed with some of the best food I’ve had in the Bay Area - unpretentious but inventive, high quality and just hand down delicious. I love that everyone who works at Bottleshop seems to really believe in Bottleshop. It means a lot to have all your staff excited about what this place is doing. The owners are well versed in all things wine and always have something fun on hand. Could not recommend this place more.”
“One of my go to Boba places in Redwood City. They have consistent quality tea drinks with chewy boba. They also have long hours of operation Great for a late night boba. I usually have the jasmine green tea. They also have good coconut milk, tea with red bean topping. There's no place to sit but it's right in front of Redwood city Hall.”
“Lavendar n Cream made my gender reveal cake and FAR exceeded my expectations!! Working with Lara was seamless, I sent her a photo of my vision and she executed to perfection. Her communication was outstanding and the final product made me and my guests gasp and overjoyed with how beautiful and detail oriented the cake was. Lara was willing to work with me and make adjustments to my order as needed, her flexibility was a standout. This was my first time working with Lara and I can't wait to work with her again in the future!”

“Details. Details Details. What a refreshing, beautiful experience. I can't get over the experience of this restaurant. The kindness, the service and beautiful location made me so excited to come back. Love the menu and the exabition kitchen! I'm excited to make this my spot!”
“I like this place! Chill and yummy every time. Tried the gaucho sandwich today and the brisket was great. I saved half so I would have room to try their desserts for the first time. That is some darn good bread pudding!”
“One of the best places for outdoor brunch on the peninsula. Their champagne mimosas are good with generous portions. I wish they offered more for vegetarians with some Beyond burger or Impossible meat-based dishes. I do really miss their scones which they stopped serving some years ago. They were just such a delight and they are sadly missed.”
“LCP is good man, this location included. Don't knock them just because they are cheaper than the others. I like their pizza and love the ready-to-pick-up-anytime model/system that they have which is an innovation in the pizza space and disrupts the...order and wait for 45 minute model that everyone else has.”
“Great Customer Service. But it's really packed, and they don't really have a good parking lot structure. So I definitely recommend ordering because either way, food is great. But be patient with getting your food when coming here.”
“We wandered in to Milagros for lunch and were soon greeted and taken to the cute patio area. We ordered chips and salsa, and got three delicious salsas and a bucket of fantastic tortilla chips. My niece had a fish taco and I had the chicken taquitos. She loved her taco, and the taquitos were absolutely perfect. Jose 'el diablo', ? was our waiter. He was entertaining and likeable, very sweet and funny. The service was beyond reproach.”

“What a GREAT neighborhood gem!!! "Fried Chicken Wednesday" is ALWAYS GREAT!! The chicken is so moist and tasty. Anytime I am free on a Wednesday night, it's to Redwood Grill for "Fried Chicken Wednesday"!”
“Good for lunch for $19.99Good selection.I would stop by more often if I worked here.Service was quick, food was maintained well, clean.Would def come back. Love the Chinese clam chowder.”
“What a great discovery for me! I was waiting to order a sandwich close by, but it was taking too long. So, I walked over to Big Brothers Burgers and ordered the classic with fries. Wow! It was so huge yet delicious! Great service, and the ambiance was nice too. Highly recommend!”
“Came for a family reunion lunch. We wanted to sit in the back patio which looks super cute but they wouldn't let the kids sit there. Even though none of us were smoking Hookah.Not too busy on Saturday at 1:00 p.m. which was a good thing because we had a party of eight and there was only one table that could fit us.Food was great. We had wraps and various pite. Fries and falafel and salads were good.Lots of choices on the menu. For dessert, we had baklava and Turkish coffee and rice pudding and they were delicious.You can order on your phone or at the counter and they're pretty fast.If you don't have kids under 21, I recommend sitting on the back patio.”
“We dined on a Thursday it wasn't very busy due to rain. However we were kindly waited on and served in a timely manner. The bathrooms were also clean! There is a front and back entrance and pickup is on the left side of the front entrance when you walk in about halfway through the restaurant. (Saw many people confused by this) They have many dishes that are classic takeaway options. We didn't try anything too spicy but will have to when I return. We ordered the double mushroom chicken, veggie and brown rice fried rice, pan fried pork dumplings, and scallion pancakes( who doesn't love fried dough?) . Everything was tasty and as expected. This may be become a regular takeaway spot if I'm in rwc!”
“Just got back from Taiwan and was missing my 飯團。 I happened to be in Redwood City so found the place on Google. I was very surprised to find a food establishment that is between all these auto collision and hauling businesses. I wasn’t sure I was going into the right place because nowhere on the façade did it say it was called taiwanese eats. Luckily, someone appeared at the window right away and told me that I needed to order first. I ordered two rice burritos for $7 each and could only finish one. The glutenous rice was delicious and the fish (魚鬆) and boiled egg inside was excellent as well. I will definitely be going back when I’m in the area. Lucky for me, I have another rice burrito to eat later tonight.”
“I saw excellent service, delicious fries, a very soft burger with light cheese, very sweet drinks, please be careful.And I really like your logo. I can't wait to buy you a pair of these socks.”
“Great smash burgers for me, fast friendly and service and great sides...love the coleslaw and the mac-n-cheese. My kids love the chicken tenders and mac-n-cheese but these are adult friendly as well. Always able to grab food and table and beer and get the family fed! Hard to find a spot the whole family loves.”

“Went here right before noon 2x in the last 2 weeks. Nothing bad to say. Employees were friendly and smiling. Gave out decent portions. The food was fresh and tasty because it was just cooked. Not sure who's putting the bad reviews but it's all untrue. It's new. Give them a chance. Overall this chipotle seems to have a little smaller foot print but it does have a call/order ahead pick up window which is cool. Overall Chipotle restaurants have gone a little downhill over the past few years.”
“I live on the east bay but work in the peninsula. Was craving birra tacos and found them on yelp. My husband has food allergies but was willing to try the chicken soft tacos. I brought everything home across the 92. He didn't have an allergic reaction! He loved them so much, he asked me to buy them again afterwards work the next day! The birra tacos were delicious as well! The consume (dipping) is really good! Everything was wrapped nicely and still warm by the time I got home. The second day I tried a chicken burrito and that was delicious as well! I highly recommend!”
