“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.“

“very good and fresh food for lunch“

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

“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 feel this every time I come, but the side dishes are delicious and the food is prepared with care. I ate stewed mackerel today, and the mackerel was plentiful and delicious.

In particular, Dolsotbap is good because you can eat scorched rice after the meal.
The friendly service was really good too.

It's a great place to eat with family and friends.“

“first time trying this cute little spot, only ordered tacos and would definitely come back.

- tongue ( tender and soft, not too gamey)
- shrimp ( my favourite, ordered 3)
- al pastor ( also got 3, delicious)
- carnitas
- asada

You would not regret ordering them as “taco especial” (guac, sour cream, and cheese) if you can.

I love their chips & their self serve sauce corner.“

“I’ve always loved Italian food, especially good lasagna. Recently finding this place in San Bruno we had to try it. This place is absolutely amazing on both food and service. I’ve been to top restaurants in the city that do not have as good of service or food as West Coast. Keep up the great work, you guys are phenomenal!“

“Wasn't a fan the first time though the cousins were. Enjoyed it much more the second time.

The first time we got medium spice for most of our dishes and was really struggling. So the second time we got mostly mild. But the mild had no spice at all. Would love if there was an in between spice level.

* Papadi Chaat - medium spice. Crispy. Cold. Didn't know there were spice levels for chaat. This is not a main menu item but instead a special we saw taped at the counter. Would get again

* Aloo Tikka Chaat - medium spice. Mixes really well with the papadi chaat

* Chicken Vindaloo (mild) & Lamb Vindaloo (medium) - both the vindaloo sauce came out tasting completely different. We don't know if it's because of the spice level or the fats from the proteins but it was different. We enjoyed the lamb vindaloo more.

* Chicken korma (mild) - good
* Paneer tikka masala (mild) - favorite but would have liked a little spice
* Chicken biryani (mild) - good
* Garlic naan - have garlicy. Not too oily. Crispy.

All curries comes with rice if you ask for it.
There are specials on the counter.
Free endless chai.“

“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!“

“I’ve been on the hunt for a new go-to sushi spot since my favorite one in Burlingame closed down (RIP). This is currently top of my list for when I’m in town with colleagues. Great service and ample parking. Easy to get to and plenty of delicious items on the menu. Good variety of sake as well.“

“Food was great and exquisitely plated.“

“Excelente servicio 🙂…………..“

“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.“

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

“I love this place! The food is really good. The handmade fresh tortillas are my favorite! You can’t go wrong with the paloma plate or the Thursday special “Carne en su jugo”. The service is wonderful, makes me want to keep coming back!“

“Chicken was very tender & delicious. I loved that they offered okra (came with some shrimp too). Pot stickers were just ok. The kitchen is open late (think she said 12:30am). We ate there about 9:30pm after a flight home, and there were plenty of other tables eating late on a Sunday night. Full bar & beer on tap. Great late night spot & veggie options.

Parking: We got there late, and the parking lot nearby was free at the time (after 8pm?). There's also street parking.“

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

“Very delicious ? mouth watering yummy pizza!! ? we pumped gas and saw this little restaurant across the street and decided to stop by since the reviews were amazing and it was so worth it, the restaurant was clean and the customer service was on point! And the buffalo chicken and bacon pizza was fire ? must try if in the area.“

“Really good food and very fresh. If you get a poke bowl as long as there's no line the service is fast. You have to place your order through a piece of paper marking everything you want even if it's only one item. The prices are a little costly but that just seems to be businesses across California nowadays.“

“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.“

“The barbecue is really good, and the pot-roasted pork is super delicious. It comes from Tomato Kou in Liaoning. It tastes exactly like my hometown. I miss it so much. The mutton skewers are also very fragrant, but the chicken rack is a bit too sweet. The boss should decorate the store when he has time. I passed by it many times and never realized it was a barbecue restaurant haha“

“I'm surprised I haven't reviewed this place yet as I thought I did.
This is probably one of the best places for Dumplings (水饺) because they are delicious here. The price is decent and you get to see them making them because someone is always making them nonstop.
Service is good enough but the place is very small and parking can get annoying unless you get lucky and found parking right outside.
However food wise I like almost all the options because the dumplings are very good and they are fresh. There are many different options so I suggest you go with a couple of people so you get to try multiple choices.“

“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.“

“Place has amazing food and service!!“

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

“Excellent cuisine and service“

“Who doesn't love pie. Maybe the pied piper
Cream pie ? . Just not in the morning . No sugar in the morning unless Sharis is giving away free pie. Atmosphere is dennys except more pie. If you wanna say sorry after a lie don't go empty handed bring them a pie. If you always tell the truth then buy a pie and shave it in your face cuz your lying“

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

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

“Good service and good food!!!“

“Delicious food great atmosphere“

“Delicious vegan options!😋“

“I got the beef teriyaki and tempura lunch special for $12.95. With a tip still under twenty bucks. The beef was more tender than other places I've tried. The tempura was delicious and included one shrimp tempura, and the rest was vegetables. It also came with rice and a small salad. There are sushi boats here I'd like to come back and try. The staff told me for now, the boats are operating fridays and weekends only. While I waited for my to go order, I spoke with a very friendly employee who said the restaurant has been there for thirty years. This restaurant is definitely worth a try. I will be coming back. It's right next to lowe's in San Bruno.“

“I'd say best one in California.

Parking: It's a plaza, the parking are everywhere.

Kid-friendliness: It's a place for Ohana( family) kids included

Wheelchair accessibility: They have special parking for wheelchairs customers, I never used one but I see signs and people using it.“

“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.“

“I just left the place and I have an explosion of flavors in my mouth that I can’t describe. LOVE IT I been many times in many areas in Mexico every place food seasoned are different and amazing. This taco truck impressed me with food flavor (steak) and carnitas was a spicy pork OMG.. their taco sauce is very nice and balance. I’ll be back very soon ? love this truck“

“Spiral has amazing food. The sushi is delicious. The employees are also wonderful, warm and friendly.“

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

“The young lady that served me was very good. I definitely enjoyed the spinach mushroom omelette. I’m not sure if it’s because this IHOP was on the West Coast in San Mateo, but they definitely did not skimp on the mushrooms, spinach, and hollandaise sauce. Also, the breakfast potatoes were very crispy without being burnt.“

“I've been wanting to go here for a while now. I walked in and it was packed.  The place was super busy.   There were so many items to choose from,  it was hard to not  make my own sampler.  The place is simply decorated but ig ready for a post.   I was greeted right away and placed my order for to go.I ordered:1. Iced Vietnamese coffee - I was surprised it was made the traditional way,  pour over.   A lot of places nowadays just have it ready to pour over ice.  This was the perfect pick me up for lunch.   Sweet with just the right amount of punch.2.  Fried egg rolls - So crispy, it doesn't even need the sauce.  The wrapper they used was different and gave you an extra crunchiness.3.  Grilled beef over rice with egg roll -  The beef was super tender and flavorful.  I liked that for once it didn't come with a salad but instead possibly picked carrots and daikon?Overall,  the food was amazing. Service was fast and friendly. Didn't have to wait too long and the food was fresh.  Highly recommend and I look forward to comimg back soon.“

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

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

“Came to try this place after noticing it while ordering Korean Fried Chicken next door. It's in the strip mall next to 280 on San Bruno Ave. Place is huge, a little dark, and I haven't seen it being crowded ever. Do note that they are closed on Sunday which is really weird for most Asian restaurant.
The food is decent but nothing special. Don't think the soup is from actual bone soup but with the price I don't expect them to. They however gives you a lot of meat for the price. I feel like I got a decent deal. Service is also good. You do have to pay at the counter.“

“Came for dinner with my husband as we stayed one night near the airport. My husband had the roasted duck noodle soup and I had the shredded duck meat stirred fry noodles. Both came very fast and in a very generous portions. The roasted duck noodle soup was delicious but my shredded duck meat stirred fry noodles was just ok. There’s only little shredded duck meat and tasted quite bland. The price was ok and very friendly staff. Not bad for a quick meal.“

“WOW, this place is a hidden gem! Casual mom-and-pop atmosphere and decor, affordable prices and HUGE portions! The bbq pork vermicelli bowl is phenomenal, they sauté the usual crushed peanut topping in garlic and sprinkle on fried crumbs from their egg rolls, it's delicious! Also, the egg rolls are homemade and twice as big as the standard finger-sized one is you get elsewhere. We are definitely coming back.“

“Spicy beer crab, large portion and delicious! The waiters are very enthusiastic and the chef is also very nice. We arrived at the right time, just in time for the employees to eat. They fried shredded potatoes themselves. After we saw it, we ordered one, but they didn't charge us and said they were given to us! So friendly. The price is also very cheap“

“We had the nigiri special ? ??, unagi nigiri, and shrimp tempura. Nigiri was pretty fresh, but quality could be better. The service on the other hand was top notch. Food was served fast and the place was clean. Will recommend to sushi novices. Parking was a bit hard on a saturday evening.“

“Good food and friendly service“

“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.“

“This place has been around for years but surprisingly, this was my first time here.   When you walk in, it gives off the vibe that it used to look like the elegant but homey vibe.  It still has the same vibe just a little worn.  From the outside it is definitely a hole in the wall, you wouldn't think it was that big from the outside.
I think we were one of the first ones here?  We were greeted and seated right away.  It wasn't too busy when we went but you can see the regulars slowly coming in.
We ordered:
1.  Nilagang bulalo - Hot and fresh for the cold afternoon.   It was very meaty and had a variety of vegetables like carrots, potato,  and bok choy

2.  Pork sisig - I'm not sure why I was expecting it to come out sizzling, surprisingly it didn't.   After mixing it the flavors were on point.   It was the perfect amount of spiciness from the jalapenos, crunch from the onions,  and saltiness from the soy sauce. This is one that I highly recommend,  maybe even with a fried egg on top or garlic rice.  It's also perfect as is with steamed rice.

3.  Pinalutong tadyang- I thought this would be crunchy and hard.  It was the opposite, it was tender and didn't need much to get it off the bone

4.  Pancit bihon- I liked there was a lot of noodles and not all vegetables like some places.

Service was good,  food was delicious,  and reasonably priced.  A lot cheaper compared to filipino restaurants nearby.   It's not bougie, it's home style cooking good ol comfort food.   I will be back soon and try their other items.  The breakfast plates people were ordering looked delicious and the portions were generous.“
