Restaurants in San Bruno

“My sister Cassie Young and I tried Vegan Mob today for the first time. The food is delicious - we enjoyed every delectable bite! We highly recommend it and will return soon. Thank you for offering healthy and tasty soul food. Special thanks to Nico.”

“Great tasting authentic Middle Eastern cuisine. Owners from Gaza Strip originally.”

“I have been visiting by the shop for couple years. The owner is very nice and the sugarcane juice is fresh and delicious. You order using a large self service screen. You can have original sugarcane or add flavor. You can order small, large, 1/2 or one gallon I usually add calamansi yesterday I tried pink or sea salt and it was good. It is like plum.”

“This place is great!! Love the Lamb Chops or New York Steak, Bartender Christine top notch, Area Mgr. Samantha always treats me like gold. Mgr. Alexa Luv her so dedicated, Mgr Edgar always on top of things, Can't forget Bartender Alberto! Or Mgr. Gia”

“i i went to your cafe today but they said its close its only 2pm … in the flyers it said there close at 3pm .”

“JC Bruno is more than a restaurant, it’s a relationship. It’s now my #1 spot, and I’d recommend it in a heartbeat to anyone looking for great food, genuine people, and unforgettable service! If you’re looking for a go-to restaurant that feels like your favorite local spot and your second home, JC Bruno is it. I truly mean when I say that Marcela, the owner, is the soul of this place, and she has completely redefined what true hospitality means in today’s world. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted not just by a friendly staff, but by people who genuinely care. Marcela herself is always around, and what makes her so special is that she doesn’t act like a distant owner, but rather you feel like you’re planning something with a longtime friend. She’ll chat with you, laugh with you, and most importantly, she stands by you to help plan your perfect experience, whether you’re organizing a small dinner or a full-blown celebration. What blew me away most was how flexible she is. JC Bruno’s menu is already this amazing fusion of European, Mediterranean, and other international flavors, but if there’s something special you want that’s not listed? Just ask. Marcela will go out of her way to make it happen. That kind of flexibility is almost unheard of these days. I’ve worked with many restaurants for events and special dinners, but working with Marcela is different because she treats you like a partner, not a transaction. She’ll talk through your vision, offer smart suggestions, and help you figure out the best possible setup for your group. The way she collaborates with you makes it fun and stress-free. It’s rare to find a place where the owner is this involved and down-to-earth.”

“Came here for a quick stop after being picked up by my boyfriend from the airport!

Good:
- The banchan had a lot of variety
- The portion size was huge for my tkebboki dish!
- Hearty tofu stew and good amount of ingredients inside
- Nice vibe for a casual catchup and overall pretty typical service - nice staff

Bad:
- Casual diner, nothing too fancy!

Overall enjoyed my experience here but might not come again as it didn't blow my mind.”

“Atlas is a unique place. I’ve stopped by with friends for an event but not really had the full Atlas experience until tonight. I had one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had! The Italian garlic combo! Friendly staff, wine and beer, tonight there was live music on the patio area. Max the owner is a wonderful host who is very active in the San Bruno community. Atlas is bringing good times back to down town San Bruno. Make it one of your first post pandemic stops!”

“Ordered over the phone and the order was made quick. It was ready by the time we arrived. They misheard that I wanted an extra burrito similar to one of the other ones but they were super nice about it and prioritized making the extra burrito. Super friendly and cared about the customer. Salsa bar was cool and the vibe was nice. Burritos were huge and delicious. This was a great spot and I’m planning to visit a lot more. Value and service 5/5”

“Love this place. They take really good care of my deafblind father who also loves their food. It's common to have the same people providing great service on every visit.”

“Really great deli! Sandwiches were on point, pasta salad was a hit. Large chips and drinks selection. Great stop before or after the airport, we will be back anytime we're in the area”

“Fast, friendly service. Good for families with kids. Everything we tried was delicious! The Tandoori Fish was a standout. Moist, charred, spicy… Amazing! All their food is halal. They have vegan options as well. There’s something for everyone. We’ll definitely be back!”

“very good and fresh food for lunch”

“Easy persuasion to eat here. Good grub and fast.”

“I'm on a mission to try as many Japanese spots in the upper Peninsula as possible. This is a solid Izakaya spot in San Bruno. The American wagyu beef skewer, pork belly skewer, and corn tempura were standout dishes for me - The wagyu is one of the best beef skewers I've ever had. The chicken skewer and salmon lover nigiri were also really good. The beef croquette and spicy tuna crispy rice were just okay, I wish they had more flavor. Service was good, they were attentive and friendly. Overall a great experience. I'm definitely going to come back and try more things.”

“Excelente servicio 🙂…………..”

“best tacos on the bay area”

“They have the Best Burgers in the Bay Area❤️ The staff is very Friendly and Nice❤️❤️❤️”

“Excellent food, excellent service, excellent ambiance!”

“Excellent food served by volunteers who are part of this wonderful monastery. This is a nonprofit organization. You can also go in and meditate. The food is delicious. The volunteers are kind and helpful. They accept Venmo or cash donations for the food. Outdoor seating available. Extensive menu. Pork and Thai coffee was delicious!!!”

“Best Mac n Cheese!! Award Winning”

“Great spot, friendly staff, extensively eclectic menu”

“My son and I YELPED for Mexican food.Good Mexican Food, and decided to give this place a try. I had the Spicy Shrimp Plate, and my son had the Steak and Spicy Prawns. They also provide Tortilla Chips and a Salsa Bar. The guy who cooked our food, knows how to cook! My shrimp was absolutely a balance of green/red peppers, onions, in a slightly sweet, savory and mildly spicy sauce. The Rice was done just right(not dried out).The Black Beans, were tender, with just the right amount of salt. The Iceberg lettuce and sliced radish was cold, fresh and crispy— Served with a dollop of sour cream, avocado sauce; a slice of tomato and sprinkle of Mexican cheese top the salad - it did a nice job to balance the heat of the main course. Everything was well executed. The overall indoor atmosphere is very clean, simple and no frills. Love their neon menu signage. And, their prices are reasonable. Thank you for the delicious meal. We will be back.”

“Best pizza ever! I’ve been eating totos for 50 years! In my opinion it’s THE BEST!”

“Large sandwhichs fresh ingredients and a great selection! Deli is clean and the people working were friendly. I will defently be back gave menu to bosses and I think one went over there today.”

“Good service and good food!!!”

“Stopped in to Newell's for a pre dinner drink. We just kind of stumbled on this place. How does one know where to get a good cocktail when you're an out of towner!?
Well let me tell you about Newell's.. The bartender was fabulous! She wasn't even sure what a certain drink was but she more than nailed it! It was right on! My Cadillac margarita was potent! I managed to wobble out of there to my next destination.. but barely! They do not serve food but our sweet bartender brought popcorn in order to save me embarrassment! It was a fun experience and I think I may have to return!”

“Delicious vegan options!😋”

“i recommend the Scorpion Burger & the Burnin' Love burgers. I've had both recently. they're both Very Yummy. I got mine with a Veggie patty as I don't eat Meat. I love both, but the Scorpion burger is My Favorite. 😁😁”

“I've been to a couple Shari's locations, mostly up in the northern parts of California and have always had a positive experience and impression. This particular spot was no different and in fact, have not enjoyed a Shari's more than this one location.

The premises are great, yeah, a bit dated, but clean and the views from here are spectacular. It is an easy on & off place from the freeway in a not too congested part of town.

The service was spot on and the food that me and my buddy had was good. Seriously, there was nothing to complain about. And so to those who expected more from a chain restaurant, I don't know what you were envisioning, but I think you'd have to recalibrate your expectations.

These folks did a great job with our food, efficient service and providing a good atmosphere. I'd definitely put this place on my regular rotation now that my friend introduced me to it.

So here's a solid 4-star rating. Good luck Shari's and my best hopes for your continued success.”

“Eat here you will not regret it”

“Allie and Stephanie's restaurant is great! It's a pleasure to meet you, to have the opportunity to admire your cooking, and to talk about it in the middle of the night. Very recommended :^)”

“The best sushi place in SF…I am a sushi lover. The fish there are so fresh and the Uni are premium. From the sashimi to the Kobe beef, everything is top. Their pricing is also very reasonable. Eric and Phoebe are very nice and provide excellent service.”

“Good food; hand pulled and knife cut 手扯面 刀削面 noodle are not common and very impressive to have it - they are order to made fresh.
It’s a bit strange that they won’t allow me to eat here even though I arrived way before closing time (I arrive 2:20 and they close 3:00) … one star off from that”

“Love their service and their sashimi and sushi. Very good and �!”

“Delicious food great atmosphere”

“Spouse and I go every week! The atmosphere is nice. We get excellent service! The food is always delicious and the location is very clean. Nice staff that remembers your order from the previous time so they know what we like 👍”

“Family run spot in San Bruno. Located on El Camino Real, it's easy to miss if you drive by.

The restaurant itself isn't too large, but there's seating for groups of all sizes. The menu is pretty extensive and has a good variety. We ended up getting a sashimi combo, one roll, and the lamb appetizer.

The sashimi itself was pretty tasty with no fishy smell. We got a good variety of sashimi, but my favorite was the salmon. The lamb was delicious as well and we're a good size.

Service is good and the staff is nice. We got our drinks refilled often without us asking.”

“Food was delicious and great service”

“Pros: Fresh and good food. friendly staff, very affordable Cons: Hard to find a place to park in that part of town.”

“Good taco salads here in their San Bruno location. It was $11.29 + $2.49 for the added steak. That crispy flicky taco shell revivals the best of them. Free chips! If you want to mix it up, their mango salsa is a very unique La Salsa thing. They tend to get rid of the mango salsa during the holiday season though. Plenty of seats and service was excellent for a counter ordering restaurant. The cashier is also the chef.

About La Salsa, I used to visit their SF Battery St. location near my office in the 2000's before they closed. Also previously in the 2000's, I used to visit their Mountain View location every other Saturday before going to Fry's Electronics. Their food is healthy if you order the right things.”

“Great food, good price, and quick service - my sisters and I look at it as an extension of our kitchen �”

“This restaurant has very good food all around. The tadyang was crispy but moist. Their bangus sisig was well seasoned and cooked perfectly. It wasn’t dry. They even serve a little bit of soup to start and whet your appetite. The service was also very attentive. We’ll be back to try more.”

“Excellent cuisine and service”

“Ordered pickup for my family this afternoon and we were blown away by our dishes. The garlic five spice chicken noodles were impeccable. The curry soup with chicken was scrumptious. And the barbecue pork rolls were to die for. We will definitely be coming back again.”

“Solid Poke bowl experience all around - good portions, fair price, great selection of mix ins, friendly staff, fast service and a clean store. Will definitely come back.”

“I’ve been going there for over 30 years. It’s the best tasting most reasonably priced Japanese food I have ever found.”

“Phil Taylor is a wonderful Host. He cordially welcomes songwriters from all over the globe to perform songs in the round style. It’s a great way to share one’s music and meet other like minded folks. I had a wonderful time 1/7/23. Looking forward to a future opportunity to perform my music. I definitely recommend this group.”

“The food here was amazing! I got the super nachos with steak, and the regular burrito with grilled chicken and another burrito with steak. They were all delicious. Food came out in a timely manner.

The servers were friendly and are able to accommodate tourists. I wish they were a little more welcoming to usher people more proactively!

There’s parking in front or down the block, there’s a parking lot. It was really cheap for the hour.”

“I tried ordering online for delivery but was having a difficult time with it. Called in my order and picked it up within 20 minutes. Got home and food was still warm.”

“I LOVE this place! Its so fast so much stuff to choose and have plenty of styles of tea and foods!”

“Sesame chicken was the best in town and very large portions. What sucks is the parking?

Parking: Parking sucks on the street. You have to pay or you’re get a ticket. There’s no free parking only at Starbucks for 10 minutes but everywhere else you have to pay. It’s a big mess for San Bruno.”

“Wanted to try a new Korean restaurant. This was definitely a hidden jem. We got here around 6:30pm on Saturday, May 31, 2025. There was no waiting and seated us right away. The restaurant seating is spacious with plenty of chair space and legroom. They cook everything for you. It was cooked to perfection. The Kalbi was tender with the perfect seasoning. Their Bonchon is some of the best we have ever tasted. Especially, their Kimchi. We have tried many different brands of Kimchi from Korean supermarkets. This has become our favorite Korean restaurant now.”

“Super good!!! Would recommend to anyone. Big portions”

“Great Sunset neighborhood Indian/Pakistani restaurant. Friendly service. Accommodates my spice shy palate. Recently introduced thali lunch boxes perfect for single diners. Reasonable prices.”

“My husband & often dine here due to the service and food. Every time we walk in w ears greeted and they are always so nice and food being delicious is the cherry on top”

“Place has amazing food and service!!”

“The broth here is dark and super flavorful. Clean meats, fresh veg, decent portion, standard prices for 2025 era eating out pho. Very happy and will try to return for more pho or rice dish or rolls.”

“We come here all the time, and have done for years. The staff is wonderful, the coffee is great, and everyone is friendly.

Vegetarian options: There are some vegetarian and vegan drinks and breakfast sandwiches.

Dietary restrictions: Lots of milk substitutes.”

“Came to have dinner with a friend from the Tai-Lao Region and we both agreed, the food was excellent, very fresh and made with care. Service was fast, certainly a good choice for Pho in my opinion.”

“The staff at this branch are wonderful! I took my summer camp group this this iHop, the manager told me they don’t usually take bookings but him and his team when out of their way to accommodate us. From the moment our group set foot into the restaurant to the moment we left the team was attentive, friendly and accommodating. Our very big order was ready and waiting for us when we arrived and the ingredients were fresh and tasty! This experience was amazing and the staff here are amazing”

“pretty bartender reasonable beer prices”

“My go to flavor is pralines and cream. But my kids always have the chocolate shakes. This place always fills us with joy and sugar 🤣🤣.. gotta love it!!”

“I’m so impressed by the food and the price. Everything is delicious and authentic. The pictures from 100 years ago of the old Canton/Guangzhou makes me feel nostalgic.”

“Recommended by a friend and I tried this place just now, and IT’S HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: the foods’ freshness/portion-wise worth it/prices are reasonable!!! Authentic Chinese Cuisine.

(Take note the name of the place outside will say: Ichi Ramen [former restaurant’s name])

Try this place.”

“Every time I’ve gone there it’s been a great experience! When there’s a line, the employees are super efficient and the wait times are never bad. It’s super fun watching them make the ice cream. I recently went there to get my mom a smoothie and the guy was super nice (I didn’t get his name sadly) I tried a bit of her smoothie (WITH PERMISSION!) and it was delicious. Wonderful place to stop and grab a lil treat while you’re shopping 😊”

“Ricopan impresses with more than its delectable pastries; it stands out for its remarkable community engagement. Each visit feels like a warm embrace, highlighting Rico’s role not just as a bakery but as a community pillar. Their commitment to giving back is evident, making every bite of their exquisite desserts feel even sweeter. Ricopan is truly a beacon of both culinary mastery and community spirit.”

“Staff was attentive and helpful and the items we ordered were all delicious”

“The charcoal grills are a new experience for me. It was awesome! Food was delicious! Service was great! My only complaint would be for the ventilation to be better/stronger. I know to expect to smell like KBBQ after, but I think ventilation can be improved.”

“Wasn't sure what to expect but those were some really good seafood garlic noodles.

edit 2/12: I went again because I was craving the seafood garlic noodles so much. the side veg dishes smothered in garlic butter are also really good.”

“I’m new to the Bay Area. One of my coworkers recommended it. It did not disappoint. The size portions for the money are crazy. You get a lot of food for under 20 bucks.”

“The broth of the Beef Sukiyaki was really rich and the noodles had a good chew to it, really liked it! The beef slices were just a tad bit overcooked and tough to bite through though.”

“Waiters were super friendly”

“The burger is so delicious! I didn't expect that great taste but i have one comment on the fries. They tasted bitter, i think the frying oil needs to be changed other than that the burger is so tasty. Four stars because of the fries”

“One of the funniest experiences, was my first time visiting and I had a coupon on the app. Instead of googling the address, I asked if he knew the address of their store. But after a second of thinking, we both laughed about it. Looked up the answer after.”

“Delicious fresh food made right in front of you!! I recommend the entire menu haha it’s really good!”

“These are probably the best tacos I've had in the Bay Area! They are so good and it's a good bang for your buck. If you are in the area, definitely try them.Also, I asked them their hours and they said 10am-10pm, Monday-Friday. Hope this helps!”

“Only got their popcorn chicken for a mid-afternoon snack. Nicely fried and good flavor. It comes without any chili powder so you can adjust yourself. The store space itself is kind of sad - very barebones and a little iffy on cleanliness. Would come back for more fried chicken if the craving hit.”

“I have been here a handful of times, and usually my pit stop for something quick when I am in the area. This location is basically a hole in the mall where you might drive past and not even notice there is a Quickly there. The shop is compact where it is strictly to go only, you can either order from the kiosk or a staff can help you at the counter. Their menu consists of milk tea, slushies, specialty drinks, snacks, etc. The staffs here are well trained and quick with orders. I typically get a milk tea and a popcorn chicken when I make my visits. I recommend this place to all boba enthusiasts, if you are on a limited time or if you just want something quick. I definitely will be back to tryout the other delicious options they have to offer.”

“customer service is beyond amazing. fast and quick. owners are very friendly and sweet.”

“All day vegan burger is a must-have

Vegetarian options: Oat meal, steel cutAll day Vegan burger is yum with egg and cheddar replacement ?Don't forget the carrot (and coconut) cake.”

“Good food and friendly service”

“Best tacos ever fr fr. I have been to many tacos places in sf and Daly but these are the best ones I’ve had. Discovered it on a whim and have been coming here ever since every week.”

“I didn’t like to eat inside because it’s kind of all and looks not too clean but if you order to go it’s fine. Food is delicious and the Coca Cola is wonderful.

The service depends of whom is taking your order. I have 2 good experiences but the other one was not so good, the lady who was placing my order was rude.

What I liked is that the restaurant is open until 11 and starts the service at 6:30 am”

“The food here is delicious. Maybe the best around! The shrimp tostadas are my favorite. The pupusas are probably the best I’ve ever had. I love that they make all of the tortillas fresh, and by hand, right in-front of you. All of their meals are very filling and flavorful. The servers are really friendly also. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something very tasty.”

“Chillin watching my sf giants with a pitcher of beer and my favorite wings”

“This was the best dining experience I have ever had. The portions and food quality is spectacular. Our server Margie was the sweetest and most wonderful woman I have ever met. She gave us chips and candy while we were waiting for our food. This is a need to go!”

“Was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food for the affordable price! Ordered the shrimp bento with an additional topping of teritaki chicken. The meal was. So tasty, I didn't need to add any additional condiments to elevate the flavor.
Indeed, the teriyaki chicken was very well prepared. Shrimps were tiny but very tasty. And the accompanying dragon roll and fried gyoza was worth every bite!”

“Frafuccino caramel for this summer. Enjoyed it.”

“Chicken Sando...mmmmmm🐔🐔🐔🐔”
