Restaurants in Richmond

“I got the lamb rice platter the lamb was cooked to perfection the salad taste fresh and the rice had great seasoning there warps are amazing and service was nice 9/10 definitely would come here again”

“Bun cha? How bout bun cha cha cha. Outstanding. Been craving this northern Vietnam dish. They do it right here. I was in Hanoi for the holidays and found my goto here in the bay. Wish they were open Sunday’s. But I get it……”

“Been to Hotel Mac many many times and never ever been disappointed. The menu often varies with excellence across the board. Just celebrated my 70th birthday there. Wonderful evening in a great atmosphere.”

“So glad to find out they reopened after being closed a while during the pandemic. Currently you have to pre-order a day in advance for pickup so it takes a little planning but so worth it.Their fried chicken is so crispy. I ordered it with waffle fries and they say they only fire up the fries just before your pickup time so that they're fresh. When I went to pick up my order, they let me know it would just be a few minutes because the fries were finishing and when he came out with my order, he said he accidentally made the salad but included both the fries and salad and threw in a vanilla pudding. Everything was so delicious. Even the bonus pudding had flecks of vanilla bean and tasted so much better than the instant stuff. The chicken and fries were enough for 2 meals.”

“Excellent service, the guy behind the counter was super friendly and energetic. He clearly takes pride in the food he makes and serving the community. The lemon pepper wings were juicy and crispy and cooked just right. The seasoning was strong, bright, and tangy. Their ranch was incredible -- it's homemade and had the perfect ratio of buttermilk and herbs. Would highly recommend, food and service are both great and deserving of 5 stars.”

“I went there right after lunch, I don't usually like places like that because I have trouble talking, but the lady had a lot of patience and listened to my requests and doubts, since it was something very new to me. Enjoyed very much in every part, certainly will come again another time.”

“This place is so bad it's good. I mean it's not bad. It's just simple. Simple hotdogs served in an honest way. No frills. Old school environment. Interior was never updated. And I'm glad it never was. It's old-school simple hotdogs. The people who serve you are hard-working people. They treat you kindly. It's so bad that it's not only good. It's great. Five stars”

“Had a fantastic lunch at The Backyard - Chicken Pesto sandwich and tater tots were fantastic! Band was playing, nice mix of people… very enjoyable! And the owner was working hard and took time to chat with customers. 👍”

“Here's my one millionth review. I freaking love this place. I can cook my own dan dan noodles, but I can't get my soup buns as delicious as theirs. So I come here and get both. With a side of their chili garlic sauce and szechuan sauce. It's my go to meal. I've been trying new restuarants lately but I always regret not going here for my tried and true good meal. Don't want Dan Dan....get their smoked bamboo and cured pork belly noodle dish. These folks flavors are the best. Eat inside for a chill experience and watch the fantastic cooking on the TV screen, or take to go and get impeccable service everytime. I've wasted some money this week on subpar food, but four hours later, I'm still thinking about these hands down, no contest, delicious dishes. And EVERYTIME someone is visiting me, I get them an order of the soup buns (best once you've let them cool down) and I've never had a single person disappointed by the delicious and often hot experience. THE BEST. The new dumpling place around the corner has a good chengdu noodle if you want vegetarian and they also have soup buns, but Special Noodle is still my fave.”

“Deliciosa comida recomendadisimo al 100% y muy buena atencion”

“We usually order for pick up and today I finally had the privilege of dining in. I’ve tried the shrimp pasta, chilaqiles, birria, menudo, camarones a la diabla and I must say that everything I’ve have been very delicious. The lady at the counter was so nice and welcoming. I highly recommend this place.”

“Gran Milan is THE place to get the most delicious foods on the planet!!! I recently ordered mini sfogliatelles, cannolis, (3) meter long pizzas n wonder focaccia bread to make sandwiches and their famous olive bread sticks!!! Thanks for the beautiful foods and service!!! I highly recommend Rufo’s place for your next catering! I haven’t seen sfogliatelles outside of NY!!! Love this place!!”

“Looking forward to the grand opening!”

“All of their food is delicious🔥🤤😋”

“Super friendly crew and super yummy beers!”

“Like the food. Music was too loud. Service was great. A bit pricey for those on a fixed income.”

“Gotta get seafood. It’s in the name of the business. I had one shrimp taco and one fish taco. Both proteins were fried and breaded with an ample amount of slaw on top. Really good flavors. I preferred the shrimp since the texture was nice and bouncy, but the fish was good too.

There is a small tented area with two four-top tables. Other than that, I guess you gotta take it to go.

The staff was incredibly nice. Great service. I can’t wait to try the rest of their menu. A great addition to the neighborhood. In a sea of great taquerias and taco trucks in Richmond, you need to stand out and Mi Casita does just that.

UPDATE: Went back for a shrimp burrito and it’s fantastic. The shrimp is sautéed in this flavorful sauce. It’s up there with La Bamba’s shrimp burrito for sure.”

“This was my first time dining there. Definitely not my last. First class atmosphere, Customer Service and food. I see other items on the menu I want to try. And the best part is the locale. I only live 2.5 miles away from a top notch dining venue on the water. Fantastic!!”

“first time eating here. great place, great food. Nadir was very attentive and made sure everything was going well”

“Best food and best service!”

“Great beer, food and service”

“So happy to find a delicious and friendly restaurant that doesn’t close in the afternoon in my neighborhood. We have been there several times in the past couple months and I’m still trying new things on the menu. My husband tried the ribs which he said were the best he’s ever had and half the serving went home with him. It was huge! Desserts are exceptional especially the flan. I’m still exploring their vegetarian options but so far my favorite is their version of chili relleno. Come and relax and enjoy the food and friendly atmosphere!”

“Fun place to come hang out with friends and pets when they have an event. I was so happy to find Noel and Purity wines, it's hard to find juicy fun natural wines around the Bay. The wines here are different from most wines. More akin to sour beer or dry cider. Everyone working here is kind and a little eccentric which is a great thing.”

“great food and service!!!”

“I've been coming here off and on for a few years now. Foods always good. I've had just about everything on the menu. Service is always great. Place is always clean.”

“This little burger joint is like stepping back in time to the 50s. The burgers, fries and shakes are great, really hit the spot! No indoor seating, but theres outdoor chairs and benches and plenty of parking. Very economic pricing, efficient service.”

“These have to be the best ribs I’ve had in a long time.”

“This place is great. The food is excellent. The guy behind the counter is polite. The prices are good. It's a good kebab and gyro shop with tables, clean and reasonable. Love places like this.”

“Delicious food at this no frills taqueria! We ordered a half rotisserie chicken and a fried tilapia. It was more than enough to feed our party of four. Good food at reasonable prices.”

“Pizza was amazing and the music was awesome 💕 a great neighborhood place with friends!”

“Best boba in the bay area
The owner is family oriented so that makes the food a delight! Momma knows what to do for the soul.
I will come back every chance I get.
Come and enlight your taste buds***”

“The vegetarian food was great! Love the potatoes from Szechuan!”

“Ordered 3 or their largest pizza's (pepperoni and two cheese) for my son's 2nd grade class and they did not disappoint! Not only did they deliver the pizza to the school, it arrived hot and fresh. The ingredients were fresh and their red sauce was delicious. Each child was able to enjoy multiple slices. Thank you for making our classroom celebration a memorable one.”

“And to think I was going to drive to Chipotle blah. I'll be in town for a few days so I know where I'll be eating until then Updated from previous review on 2025-05-30”

“Excellent food in a clean, comfortable, casual setting.y go to place for comfort food close to home. I recommend it to my friends and colleagues.love the Dragon Beef 🥩”

“We ordered around 150 tacos for a party, which they conveniently delivered for a very low price. Our guests absolutely love the tacos! The orders showed up in pizza boxes and were super easy to serve! I highly recommend for a big party!”

“I love their chopped salad and their lemon bundt cake!”

“absolutely the best tamales I have ever had at a restaurant. I'd swear they were home made if I hadn't ordered them myself... super find!!! I'll never order from anywhere else again.”

“Love the venue, the music, and the people who work there!”

“Best Cider on the West Coast!”

“This is the bomb!!!! We just had our X-mas gathering with 31 people and I can say the owner was very accommodating, pleasantly to work with. The food was so delicious specially the QUESABIRRIAS, everyone went crazy over it. The menu is great,I highly recommend this place. Will truly come back for more! Come on let's show some support for this family owned business!!!!”

“Best Shrimp Shui Kai (extra large and tastier wonton) in Northern California.
I know San Mateo ( hour drive) ladies who regularly after evening MJ game drive across the Bay for Daimo Shui Kai!”

“Absolutely delicious, authentic Brazilian food”

“I did not eat here. I was sent from next door to use the restroom.
The young lady who greeted me was wonderful, and very friendly. It made me want to try it!”

“I love when restaurants make me regret asking for spicy food! ❤️ Kung Pow Beef with Chowmein. Full of savory flavors! Perfectly spicy and perfectly Cooked!
I must have for anyone looking for great food!”

“If your on your lunch break then call your order in ... hole in the wall with great food .. make sure to ask for salt and pepper for your frys. If even remotely close and want a burger and fries this is your spot fries were so fresh darn near burnt my mouth which is soooo much different the. The room temp fries often served at drive thrus”

“I have been coming for years to this restaurant , it has its own parking lot however you can usually find parking on the street. The food reminds me of when I visit family, everything tastes homemade. I usually order their burritos, their mole.”

“When I got there, the place was very clean and homey. The staff was also very nice and friendly. The person at the register treats you like an old friend you haven't seen in a long time. I got a double cheeseburger combo along with some cheese sticks and it was amazing. The seasoning on the cheese sticks was delicious and the burger was juicy. Very fair price too.”

“That pizza was 🔥🍕🔥🍕❤️‍🔥💯”

“muy ricos tacos y económicos 😅 excelente corazón de tacos!!”

“Literally just went to heaven after trying their churros. They're warm and perfectly crispy. Definitely get the cajeta one.I flew to heaven after trying these churros. They are warm and crispy. Try the cajeta one”

“An absolute gem of an ice cream shop that totally saved our 102deg. day!!

Destenny was very kind and served up a slammin' Mangonada and 2 scoops!! We were beyond happy.

Also, the butterfly decor will absolutely brighten anyone's day!!

#shoplocal #Richmond #smallbusiness”

“I really only came out here for the world famous "Mitchell Ice cream" that was for 18 a pop. Great place with nothing but kind people that is always awalys so helpfull. I can't speak on anything else that they serve at this location, but if you're looking for the best ice cream, this is one of the spots.”

“Amazing, delicious and homemade taste.
Every single time we came here, we go home satisfied and happy.
It really taste like home made food.

Vegetarian options: Labeled vegetarian dishes and they accommodate and make changes”

“No frills Deli with quality bread, toppings, and meats. I ordered the #16 pastrami on light rye. It was very good. The service was friendly and efficient. The dining area was adequate, and clean. Nothing fancy.”

“Simurg Bakery provides great baklava to the ones missing a professional taste in USA. Go for it!”

“I get my lunch takeaways from here. Had a craving for eggplant in garlic sauce. Note: their lunch specials include soup and salad only if you EAT IN. I got an egg roll with my special, so I was happy. Food was hot and yummy, enough left for a light bite at dinner.”

“So long story short drove to Richmond to try another place (tacos wl panzon Friday night and there close) found this LET ME TELL YOU the SHEEP yes SHEEP was worth it fresh water of different favors amazing had the passion fruit people if you know try this place can't go ”

“One of my new favorite restaurants. Friendly service, reasonable prices and delicious food in a modest, family-friendly setting. Looking forward to coming back. Steaks were so good.”

“Its a great place to buy cake and baked goods. I got a full pound cake, i forgot to request the icing but she was happy to put it on when i went there to pick it up. They also have boxes of leftover cake for only $5. Good value for your money. Friendly lady at the reception. Will definitely return.”

“This place been here since I was a kid. Even though there are hundreds of taquerias in the area. This place still standing strong. This establishment is a must try. Definitely known for the papusas.”

“Best beans I have EVER had! Must order!!”

“It was a great experience for me, I had lunch and the friendly service was fast, clean and got exactly what I ordered. The flavors are of the roof and will blow your mind away, it's like eating at moms kitchen!”

“The food and staff was excellent and the portions were large. Would recommend to anyone in the area. Just maybe mark a few parking spaces with their name.”

“Food is good but the lady who serves the food and who is at the cash counter doesn’t seems to care much. The lady who cleans the table smiles and talks in polite manner. The restaurant has a plenty of sitting capacity and it’s like L shape, so you have to walk to other side to pay at counter. If they improve the service and the payment method then it think it has a potential to do very good business.”

“Great views and good food”

“Waffles & Cream is a delicious place for sweets. My favorite being their cookie monster milkshake. I’ve had their delicious treats since they’ve opened up and have had the opportunity to try different varieties off their menu. Everyone has their own preferences of course as I prefer the Belgian Waffle over the Bubble. If this is your first time trying Waffles & Cream I would recommend starting off with something simple but delicious such as their Liege Waffle Belgian Delight (Banana, Strawberry, Nutella, House Whip, and Vanilla Ice Cream on top of a Belgian Waffle). If you want something such a single scoop the Cookie Monster is a great option it’s cookies and cream mixed with cookie dough. The new star of the show the upcoming trending Dubai Chocolate covered Strawberries is another great option. Cheaper than many other places with great ratios and quantity of the sweet treat. Overall me and family have had nothing but great things to say about this place since it has opened. I’m glad to see they listen to customers feedback and continue to add more items to their menu to try out.”

“Deliciosas las Militas de asada y los sopes ni se diga recomendó vista los tacos Las Palmas 🌴 te gustará se lo que te digo 🌹”

“All of their food is delicious🔥🤤😋”

“flavourful 🍧 shaved ice. lots of flavors and options. Fruit smoothies 🌺 give them a try.”

“I love this place! From the food to the service. I highly recommend trying their specials. Great place to watch a game or to play some pool (or both). Also, they have a pretty good selection of drinks at the bar for the adults. 10/10 would recommend to a friend ?

Parking: Plenty of parking for the whole plaza.

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly. They have a pool table and TV screens.”

“JJ’s Fish & Chicken It’s the fish for me, so fresh hot and good everything else was trash. Everyone can’t cook NOL style, the gumbo, the red beans, the jambalaya the macaroni salad and the chicken 🐓 was straight trash. Chicken still had long hairs all over the wings. That’s all 😡😡😡🤣😂 The pictures hanging with the food on them make you think the food is so good. I only recommend the cat fish. This one is located on International Blvd bka East 14th Street Oakland California.”

“We come here to celebrate birthdays, graduations, holidays with friends and family. Love the dim sum! Will be back again soon. Conveniently located in Pacific East Mall near Ranch 99 for shopping”

“I just tipped $5 on a $7.70 drink because the customer service was that freaking amazing ! I wish I had $20 to tip but I’m poor right now rents due on the first lol but it’s the percentage for me and max tip option so I gave it up anywho my frappe was too good yumm. I think im in love with this Starbucks minus one icky attitude girl I almost let scare me away last week. She wasn’t in this time luckily. I don’t usually get the hype and it’s pricey but with service and cleanliness like this place has I’ll pay the cost. Thanks a lot Vicky and crew ! Blonde hair girl and guy with chain on lol and other guy ! You guys are dope keep up the great customer service and making these drinks so good”

“good food in the Bay area”

“I love good bakeries and this one was good. I had Danish Fruits and liked it. It has a huge parking and people there were very attending. Will be back to try their coffee too.

I have heard they are a relatively new family business too.”

“The best Mexican restaurant in the area by far. Tried Torta quesadilla mulitas camarones Diablo and breakfast plate. They are all great. The best beans and salsa as well. Great service and very clean.”

“Smooth, tasty - the best coffee in the area!! They always have delicious pastries too that they'll heat up for you. SO good with a fresh cup on a brisk morning. It's the perfect stop for a relaxing morning coffee and snack - even with kids!”

“5..m m 6 656y66.u66 m mmm..mmmm..mm.mmm”

“My family and I have been going to El Sol since 1984. The food is excellent, reasonable, large selection, quantity and the staff are so friendly, it’s like one big family. Their enchilada sauce is my favorite!”

“Staff is always friendly and the food is great!”

“Small place but worth the visit, excellent seasoning and service. Very good food and handmade tortillas made to order. Definitely a piece of Mexico in California.”

“I love this company ! Everything they do and make is with positive intention. The products are high quality ingredients and taste. The bottles and the zero waste mission is outstanding. Keep it up your my favorite company!”

“A little old taqueria but the food is delicious well I had the small birria and the meat serving was more than enough. Hubby had quesabirrias that are made with handmade tortillas and consome. They were also 10/10.”

“Four of us went for dinner on Monday night. We all enjoyed our food! We had the Salmon with Vegetables, Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich and fries, Caesar Salad, Taco Salad with added chicken, and shared two desserts, the Chocolate Cake and the crème brûlée Cheesecake. It was fresh and delicious. Our waiter was super friendly, accommodating, and attentive! The inside, where we sat, looked super clean. Will definitely be returning!”

“The man who served us was super friendly!!

Parking: There is enough parking

Kid-friendliness: The environment is very suitable for our children ?”

“I don’t make it a habit to buy fried chicken from a gas station, but I might start! It’s like KFC and Popeye’s, but less stuff on the outside, more chicken on the inside. Very lightly spicy. And now they have COLES LAW! Buy gas, buy beer, buy fried chicken to go. Thanks, Mike, for bringing me. After my second visit, this quite possibly is “America’s best-kept fast-food secret.”

If you choose to give a thumbs-up ?? or not, I hope you found my review helpful!

Parking: a few parking spots on site, and free street parking on side streets.

Kid-friendliness: it’s a gas station, so….

Wheelchair accessibility: wheel in wheel out. The ordering counter and the paying counter would be a slight challenge.”

“My go-to here is the #1 combination pho. Portions are generous and the broth is amazing! Deep flavor and when I refrigerate the leftover broth, it congeals which shows it's quality. I eat here at least once a week.”

“Ferociously respectable tacos here. Carne asada, carnitas, and al pastor we're all absolutely on point, and their salsa roja, is rich and smokey almost like a mole, and the staff is hella cool. Five stars across the board.
Directly adjacent to La familia market, on McDonald.”

“I love this little hole in the wall! Everything I've ever gotten here is great, and it's one of the only places I've found that my mom approves of their tofu pudding / tofu "flower".

I can't believe some folks are giving low ratings for rising prices... It's the bay area! Everything's expensive and I'm sure his rent has been going up too. Have some empathy for independent shops! No, I've never thought this place was cheap but boba/bubble waffles aren't cheap anywhere else, especially at the large chain boba places.

Go here. The owner(s) are awesome (I think it's run by a couple - it's the same guy everytime I go) and the food and drinks are great. And the vibe is always right. Last time I went they were playing Cantonese Bon Jovi. Support local businesses!”

“I love their chopped salad and their lemon bundt cake!”

“Delicious! Tasty mexican food tacos,quesadilla,tamales, and much more? yummy! highly recommend Taqueria el chele.”

“I love this company ! Everything they do and make is with positive intention. The products are high quality ingredients and taste. The bottles and the zero waste mission is outstanding. Keep it up your my favorite company!”

“Pollo was ? delicious, the sides were good: rice, beans, mash and gravy, except for the macaroni and cheese, it was too watery, beware of the serrano pepers, those are hot hot, but great if your on the fire side, great place!”

“Simple yet delicious..
I've been coming to this burrito place since I was a kid.. over the years, the outside has changed, but not the taste of the food. Which is very important in my opinion.. must eat here if you haven't. Start small n get tacos and work your way up to other stuff.”

“Staff is always friendly and the food is great!”
