Jack's Restaurant & Bar 1050 Admiral Ct Suite A, San Bruno American • $$
1050 Admiral Ct Suite A, San Bruno

“The food and service here are absolutely top-notch! Today, I indulged in the Code Bleu burger, perfectly charbroiled to a juicy medium. Topped with Bleu Cheese, rich BBQ sauce, crispy bacon, a large onion ring, fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and a pickle, it was hands down the tastiest burger I've ever had! And those sweet potato fries? Crispy, sweet perfection. We also tried the French Dip, generously filled with thinly sliced top sirloin, accompanied by savory au jus and crispy fries. Every dish we've tried here has been consistently delicious. For excellent food, cozy ambiance, and exceptional service, I highly recommend this restaurant!”

Amami Sushi Bistro 312 El Camino Real, San Bruno Sushi • $$
312 El Camino Real, San Bruno

“Unassuming, somewhat hidden, but hands down, these guys need a bigger place and to be well known! I know that sushi in the Bay Area has a good rep… But I was certainly not expecting the quality that I got here tonight. I basically ordered off of the specials menu after I started with the SB Uni. Ama Ebi to Otoro, and everything was melt in your mouth fresh and delicious. If I could do it over again, I would have definitely gone with the Omakase because these sushi chefs will not disappoint!”

I don’t usually go to Japanese restaurants but have started more recently and I’m in love with the politeness, the culture of privacy and respect it’s very pleasant. The sake was super good. Loved the atmosphere 5/5 on food, 5/5 for flavor and 5/5 for design. And it’s 6 minutes away from the San Francisco Airport.”

K-Grill & Tofu House 617 San Mateo Ave, San Bruno Korean • $$
617 San Mateo Ave, San Bruno

“This is a place to go for good comfort food.The popularity of K-Grill has definitely grown. And well-deserved.The place is either packed or have a line of people during the normal lunch and dinner hour. It’s easier to get a table outside of the normal meal hours.The staff are friendly and nice, albeit a bit brusque because they are so busy. So they are super efficient too.Banchan and tea/water graces the table very quickly after an order is place. And everything that comes from this kitchen is delicious! The is the only K-restaurant where banchan includes a whole croaker for everyone.If I describe every dish, it would be a superlative on everything. I don’t think one can go wrong with anything on the menu. Just go with whatever category you feel like and a delicious meal will appear.Save a bit of the crunchy rice in the original rice container. Before the end of your meal, ask to have some hot tea added and enjoy it with any remaining banchan.”

A One Kitchen & Bar 677 San Mateo Ave, San Bruno Chinese • $$
677 San Mateo Ave, San Bruno

“I love this place. Every time I come here they are so friendly. And their food is truly the best. A fusion of Thai, and Chinese cuisine. My favorite dish is the butter garlic crab with french fries. If you order it with a side of garlic noodles it's truly amazing. Their spicy Fried rice has chicken and shrimp in it and is actually very original in taste. Stephanie and Allie have always treated me well. This place is a gathering point of this particular community and most importantly, it's open very late. When everyone else is closed, this is the place you go to for gourmet food when you don't want to have a slice of pizza or fast food. I have met so many good acquaintances here. And this is where I bring guests that are flying in from out of town first. They are right next to the airport......”

JC Bruno Restaurant 741 San Mateo Ave, San Bruno American • $$$
741 San Mateo Ave, San Bruno

“My wife and I were in the San Francisco area for a week and had generally excellent food. My wife found this restaurant via Google and we decided to visit because of the good reviews and proximity to our Airbnb. We were not sure what to expect as this restaurant was so close to airport and there were many open tables. We had an excellent experience!!! The food and wine were top tier as well as the service. For entrees we had rack of lamb and the linguine lobster. The food was perfectly prepared and of extremely high quality. Towards the end of the meal we go into a discussion with the owner on wineries to visit in Napa/Sonoma. We were both very passionate about wine and at the end she comp’d us a bottle of very expensive wine from her favorite winery. Don’t hesitate to try JC Bruno- you will love it.”

1789 El Camino Real, San Bruno

“Used on 21mar2024.I am a Japanese person from Amami Oshima.The yellowtail kamayaki was so delicious that I ordered another one.For Japanese people, I would like the sashimi to be cut thinner.The fish was very fresh and delicious.Regarding the balance of sashimi and rice in nigiri sushi, there is extremely little rice, which makes it feel strange.When making miso soup to go with sushi, it is common to use red miso instead of sweet white miso.Next time I would like to make a reservation in advance and try the tuna kamayaki.”

Hip Hop Bbq Shack 223 El Camino Real, San Bruno Barbecue • $$
223 El Camino Real, San Bruno

“I've been a resident of San Bruno for over 18 years and I had no idea that a year and a half ago Chef May transformed this place into a deliciously Soulful BBQ Shack!The atmosphere and vibe was inviting relaxed and very pleasant. Plenty of seating but the menu is very limited. I strongly recommend that you get there early because food options run out quickly and choices become very limited. The line forms and I was there and watched Chef May have to turn away several customers because she had sold out.My son and I enjoyed burnt ends, ribs, beef, barbecue baked beans, collard greens and cornbread. It was all extremely filling, wonderfully seasoned and very flavorful.Chef May herself is a fantastic soul who totally enjoys what she's doing and the food she preparing. Felt like family instantly.Finally some delicious barbecue and soul food right here in San Bruno! Thanks Chef May, I'll make sure to tell everybody I know keep doing it!Parking: There is a free parking lot however you'll be lucky if there's ever a space available because it's extremely small. You're better off finding a spot on El Camino and just walking up.”

Spiral Japanese Restaurant 705 Camino Plaza, San Bruno Japanese • $$
705 Camino Plaza, San Bruno

“I remember coming here for my mom's lunch break when I was little. It looks like the place hasn't changed much. I did notice that they were not as busy, and a lot of people were looking to go to the place next door.The place was decent. The lady who took my order was a little rude. They weren't busy yet she gave me that look, like I was bothering her.We ordered:1. Bento box - beef teriyaki and chicken katsu. It wasn't bad. It hit the spot for the beef teriyaki craving.2. Bento box - beef teriyaki, chicken karaage, and tempura. It was pretty basic at best.Overall, the place itself was ok, but a little pricey. I don't really see myself coming back here anytime soon. It didn't really stand out in a way that would make me want to come back or make it my new go-to spot.”

Seniore's Pizza 730 Kains Ave, San Bruno Pizza • $$
730 Kains Ave, San Bruno

“After getting out of a concert, we were looking for a late night bite. We're from out of town, so definitely not familiar with what's around and who's open late. Thankfully, Seniore's was still open for a couple more hours. We ordered the Pesky Chicken. White sauce, chicken, Canadian bacon, onions, and pesto. Wow! The first bite sold me. The flavors were delicious and the cheese was perfect. I like the pull apart where the cheese is still going, attached to the whole, and you have to manually rip it from the pie. The crust is what sold me. What a perfect crunch! Plus the seasoning has you going in for more. Definitely putting this on my places to return to.”
