Restaurants in San Carlos

“I’m impressed, they manage the whole coffee production chain. From growing the beans in their two farms in Peru to roasting and serving drinks in this shop. Latte and Empanada taste good, and the owners are lovely people.”

“One of the best tasting North Indian food in the Bay area. Great Service as well. We had their vegetarian thali - which was fabulous. The Dahi aloo puri and the pot of chai was excellent as well”

“Great place to get together with friends & family. We had about 30 people for a family get together. Service was great. The outdoor patio was the perfect setting! Most of the food was outstanding. We are actually from Hawaii so we’re very critical about the food.”

“delicious pastrami sandwiches🤤”

“Nice long bar so theres a lot of space to chat, and a good selection of beers from various locations in California and nearby states including Moksa from Rocklin, Slice in Lincoln and other awesome breweries. They offer ales, sours, IPAs, stouts, wines and even got some in-house bottle options. When you leave you can pick up a 4 pack for your home. Service is good, and they offer some small bar snacks like pretzels and trail mix.”

“I ate at Pazzo on Wednesday and had a great experience. The restaurant is take out only. I ordered at the restaurant instead of on the phone. The staff were super friendly and helpful with recommendations. The order took about 20 minutes and we had a drink outside while waiting. I HIGHLY recommend the shrimp and grits. Over anything else on the menu! And I was told the gnocchi was amazing too iAnd of course the pizza is awesome!”

“Great food but expensive. It was a great treat for me. I did enjoy it.”

“A place that values quality and source of ingredients”

“Ordered for delivery to my hotel. Arrived in 30 minutes, exactly as ordered, super hot, and really great pizza. Like Domino's on steroids. Highly recommended.”

“delicious food. very kind staff. will definitely be back.”

“No extra fees or surcharges. Thank you Yan’s Garden for the honest, inclusive menu pricing and please stay fee-free.

We enjoyed the food. Lunch special is a decent deal with a filling portion size. We ordered the Tofu and Black Mushroom a la carte and it was huge, enough for two and a half meals. Salt and Pepper Eggplant appetizer size was also substantial, tasty but somewhat on the salty side.

Outdoor seating: There are a handful of four-top tables outside the storefront, shaded by an awning.”

“Great breakfast Good quality and good prices!!”

“Mediterranean delight offers delightful Mediterranean fare at a good price. I especially enjoy their falafel, shawarma, and kebobs. Their mango/guava juice is also really good.”

“awesome”

“It was the soft opening, so I understand they were still setting things up. Nice staff, and good service. Had them recommended items, and was not upset. Got the baked cheese appetizer and 12 oysters. Beautiful bar, and Mediterranean feel when sitting inside or outside. Will go back again”

“I came here to say that this hole in the wall exceeded my expectations.

I ordered the breakfast sandwich with egg, cheese and bacon. ? I had it with their homemade style biscuit and it held its shape; not too buttery.

Eating the eggs was like eating fluffy clouds. The texture of the breakfast sandwich dissolved into my mouth and it helped that the Pumpkin Pie oat latte wasn’t acidic or too bitter or lacked espresso so sip, don’t gulp because you want to take your time.

The ratio of coffee to Oatmilk was equally proportional. One can actually taste every sip, reminiscent of a fond fall memory in your mouth. ??

Sadly..there are no pictures but in many ways I felt like I was truly present enjoying the experience. I can tell the workers also cared about their work; all were friendly and kept the place nice and clean.

Thank youuuu!!! I’m coming back and I live in Berkeley where all their cafes are hard to beat. But this takes the prize in San Carlos.”

“A lovely white tablecloth setting. Great service and delicious food. A lot like Wings in San Jose which is out of business now😭. So yes I love that we found King Chuan Restaurant 😍”

“Our group had burritos (fish, chicken and steak fajita) which were all really good. The habanero salsa was nice and the chips were super crisp. Some good juices and beer options. I enjoyed the lunch a lot check it out if you're in the area.”

“Best Thai place i have been too! Great food and even better owners!!”

“First time at Pranzi...loved everything! Ambience, service and food were the best! Our server, Matt, was friendly, knowledgeable and did not rush us. The owner and staff knowing that it was first time, went out of their way to make our experience the best it could be. We will definitely be back soon!,”

“Great food, drinks and service!”

“A SUPERB RESTAURANT. [Original] A SUPERB RESTAURANT.”

We have always come as a group of 5 and everyone has always left happy. Thanks to our server Engin tonight. He was excellent!”

“Had a wonderful meal with my nephew here last night. Food was fresh,very well presented and delicious. Definitely a great change of pace from the usual! I would highly recommend it if you are looking for a nice, satisfying meal with a different twist. Added note, the Borscht was to die for.”

“This is the best, bar none, diner for comfort food priced right on the SF Peninsula. And, dont tell anyone, but ther servers and food is also the Peninsula's best. 5 stars & then some! P.S. Favs are Turkey melt for lunch & Biscuits & Gravy for breakfast - Get it with a one egg side... Also, the pancake combo will fill you up & is delicious!

“Fresh and tasty! Don’t forget it’s healthy, too! Highly recommend!”

“Good counter service option on Laurel Street. We’ve eaten here a few times. It’s good in that I like a few specific menu items that we tend to reorder and they are consistently enjoyable. Ambiance/location is great and good for bringing friends or visitors for a casual bite before or after strolling Laurel Street”

“food and service is superb! number 1”

“For those like me who care about the quality of ingredients and avoid unhealthy foods this place is great! No artificial additives, real milk and zero sugar options. And the large cup is actually large . I got jasmine tea with zero sugar and zero ice, 3 portions of red beans and 1 portion of boba”

“Have been here a few times, and it's a cool spot.

The staff and patrons have always been polite with me. However, I crossed the line. Last night, I was a coward and blew a chance with a girl elsewhere, and chose to get wasted, harass a woman and try to grab her. I'm lucky I didn't get my butt kicked. I had it coming.

To everyone that had to deal with me, I'm sorry. I was way out of line. Take care.”

“They make the best sandwiches here. I love getting either the Breakfast Burrito or the Breakfast sandwich on the way to work. The people who make my food are very nice. I love the turkey sandwich the most. My husband loves the Always Thanksgiving sandwich. They also have a great selection of fresh breads. My favorite is the Dutch Crunch.”

“good Italian ice cream so good”

“I love momos , fried corn , noodles & fried rice ...”

“Yummy vegan flavors: today I had a combo of pear/Riesling & pineapple/hibiscus 🌺 Melinda is one of the sweetest ladies I’ve ever met! Let’s us take our time & gives us samples til we’ve decided. The shop is so blessed to have her.”

“Fun people watching spot for casual meals/bites in the heart of Laurel! Can’t wait to try all of the gelato flavors.”

“Dave is the best! Check it out and have fun.”

“Title: Amazing Beef Short Ribs!

The beef short ribs here are incredible—tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The Hawaiian-style atmosphere is cozy, and the staff is super friendly. If you’re a fan of beef short ribs, this place is a must-try. Highly recommend!”

“The coffee is good, as usual, but service was not up-to-par. I paid with a credit card, because who touches cash during Covid? When I didn't put any thing in the tip jar the cashier stared at me, glanced at the jar, and then stared at me again. I said to her, "I wish there was a tip option on your credit card machine." She replied with an emphatic, "Me, too." Then, rather than pouring my coffee as they usually do, the cashier proceeded to sweep the floor and make busy. After a few minutes of this she got around to pouring my coffee. Excellent coffee, as usual...”

“🍏. 🍏🥤 🥤. 🧋🧋 súper ricos 🤑”

“The tacos de cabeza and lengua al vapor are second to none here in the bay almost as good as my grandma's in Mex ( but they only thing is that there sooo dang good they sell out super fast so get there early like 10 to 11 ”

“I got my food to go, and it was ready promptly, and the food was absolutely outstanding! I would recommend this place to anybody!”

“Went with family here for lunch and got seated the minute we walked in, we ordered and the food came out in less than 10 minutes freshly cooked the service was also great our server made us feel welcome i would recommend this if you enjoy some really good chinese food.”

“I was visiting the area and found this place on Maps near my hotel. WOW what a find! It was hard making a decision, because everything on the menu sounded great. I got a kefta kebab plate: 3 big pieces of kefta on yellow rice with roasted veggies. It came with a nice salad with lots of finely chopped Persian cucumbers, and a very generous dollop of hummus. And, of course, a lovely big pita. This made dinner last night and lunch today. So yummy. If you like spice, say YES to the hot sauce! Tangy and delicious.

Vegetarian options: Falafel, hummus, baba ganouj

Dietary restrictions: Halal meat”

“Kids love the arcade games and toy machines.

Dietary restrictions: My hubby likes that they have a gluten free crust pizza

Kid-friendliness: Arcade and toy machines are a hit”

“Yummy in the tummy !! ;) <3”

“Good pizza..”

“Would have been so much better if I could have gotten the extra tzatziki sauce I asked for. What a let down! I only wanted more tzatziki sauce. And I didn't get my fries on the side. Pay attention. People! Pay attention! I would review at an excellent rate had you provided me what I simply asked for.”

“excelente servicio y los tacos de pescado están deliciosos😋 y buen precio por todo”

“Excellent food and service! We will definitely be back!”

“Definitely one of the better/best Taco Bells in the area. Always seem to work through a crowd efficiently. Food is always pretty fresh. Glad to have this in our neighborhood for quick nights.”

“Good, fast sandwiches for a low price. If that's what you want, this place is great. Points off for interior decor being bland, but at this price point I'm not complaining.”

“Quite a delicious carne asada burrito. The meat was tender and well spiced. It was as if I was eating a plate of Mongolian beef but instead of those juices and spices, it was more of a adobo asada style but Mexican. I feel like this review might not appeal to most readers but trust this local business is serving a burrito con mucho sabor.”

“Excellent food 10/10, everything very delicious

Dietary restrictions: Everything is cooked with smokers 0% vegetable fat

Parking: Enough

Kid-friendliness: It has special chairs for babies

Wheelchair accessibility: It has a ramp, apart from tables”

“Lots of bright, natural lighting. Big open space with lots of seating with access to power outlets. Clean. Three individual all-gender bathrooms. Friendly staff. Drinks come out perfect every time. Good place to work. Some people take personal and work calls though, so I recommend bringing noise canceling headphones if that bothers you.”

“Authentic and charming! The coffee, muffins and sandwiches are WAY wonderful!”

“(Translated by Google) Good food, the sandwiches are delicious, the place has good food, only I have a complaint and it is not for the place but for the owner, today, Saturday, January 29, at 2 or 2:30 p.m. I went to the homedepot, I went to his place and he had two employees working, a young woman and a lady between 35 and 40 years old, the young lady cooks and works very fast. What I don't like is that the older lady, while I was waiting for my food, was about 20 minutes. This lady spends talking and complaining about the owner and his Unfortunately, other employees took a lot of time for the young woman and instead of getting to work during the course I was there, she did not pay attention to the cashier's window and 4 potential clients left, the fifth person who arrived was waiting and I had to yell at him to pass the You to attend and it is not worth that the business loses money more in these times due to bad employees, instead of paying attention and paying attention to the clients, attending them, let them go, take care of your business, sir, and hire someone people who really want to work and take care of their place not people who only go for their salary thank you(Original)Buena comida los sándwiches estan deliciosos el lugar tiene buena comida solo que tengo un complain y no es para el lugar sino para el dueño hoy sabado 29 de enero alas 2 o 2:30pm fui a homedepot pase asu lugar y tenia dos empleadas trabajando una joven y una señora entre sus 35 y 40 años la jovencita cosina y trabaja muy rapido lo que no me gusta es que la señora mayor en lo que estuve esperando mi comida fueron como unos 20 minutos esta señora sela pasa ablando y quejandose del dueño y de sus otras empledas lastimosamente le kita mucho en tiempo ala joven e ves de ponerse a trabajar en el trascurso que estuve ahi no ponia atencion ala ventanilla de la caja y se fueron 4 potenciales clientes la quinta persona que llego estaba esperando y tuve que gritarle para pasarle la vos para que atendiera y no se vale que por malas empleadas el negocio pierda dinero mas en estos tiempos en ves de poner atencion y restetar alos clientes atendiendoles los deja ir cuide su negocio señor y contrate personas que realmente quieran trabajar y le cuiden su lugar no gente que solo vaya por su salario gracias”

“Really family friendly place with high quality Korean noodles. Reminds me of Korea and oddly Southern California, where Korean food presence is strong. SO glad to be seeing more high quality foods in the Bay area, and in the Peninsula where there is an absolute paucity of selection. Service was only ok, but it was clear that they were understaffed during their opening months. Will be back!”

“It was great! Clean, cute, great service, and most importantly tasty boba! I was able to adjust the drink to my liking—including sugar level— and I feel like every detail was considered from presentation to menu. I think it’s cool that San Carlos got a swanky new addition to their food and dining scene with Bober. I’ll definitely be going back with friends.”

“Visiting with friends. Had a great tome. I”

“I recently visited the Subway sandwich store, and I must say it was an excellent experience from start to finish. The store's atmosphere was inviting and clean, making it a comfortable place to enjoy a meal.”

“We ordered chili Relleno and also a mixed grill platter. Super tasty and generous portion. Staff was super friendly and accommodated me substituting more sea food and no steak for the mixed grill. I’ve been here a few times and is always good. Outdoor seating was very comfortable. Entire place is clean and bright.”

“We went in before the end of the shift, so staff was kinda hurrying us and wouldn’t allow us to have desert even though we ate a full meal! It was wonderful food though!”

“Favorite family place...kids love it! ❤️”

“The owners are awesome and I'd definitely come back again! :D”

“Definitely worth the drive everytime.”

“First time here. What great food! Fresh, not greasy Will be back for sure. Service is great. They are so nice here”

“A SUPERB RESTAURANT. [Original] A SUPERB RESTAURANT.”

“Bubble Yum, Pop Rocks and Chico sticks. KC & the Sunshine Band crackling from the AM radio of an El Camino parked out front. This is The Little Store as I experienced it circa 1974 in 4th grade. Groups of Arundel and TL kids in and out all afternoon . My friends and I sharing snacks (as much as our pooled change could afford that day) while sitting on the stairs before our brutal treks up the SC hills home. No cell phones. No rides. Lots of fun memories & great friends. Decades later I’m back in the neighborhood and while much has changed, the Little Store hasn’t (it even smells the same). Still friendly owners, and still a convenient stop when driving home or on neighborhood walks for sweet treats, a six pack, or essentials. And for many of us nostalgic touchstone.”

“Amazing, delicious, flavorful, I love it, I want more; those are the words that my little child used to describe the food he ate. He is not wrong, everything we had to eat was delicious and well prepared. We all know children are the hardest to please when it comes to food.”

“I got my food to go, and it was ready promptly, and the food was absolutely outstanding! I would recommend this place to anybody!”

“Food was great I had the biscuits and gravy. The red velvet pancake didn’t taste like red velvet thought. More strawberry thank anything. Still good though but not what I expected.”

“I came here to say that this hole in the wall exceeded my expectations.

I ordered the breakfast sandwich with egg, cheese and bacon. ? I had it with their homemade style biscuit and it held its shape; not too buttery.

“Definitely worth the drive everytime.”

“Went for our anniversary dinner and was very pleased. We were seated at a comfortable booth near the bar and had great service by Erick M. I ordered a Manhattan and my wife had an Old Fashioned. Both were excellent. The salmon was cooked to perfection and the Prime Rib Sandwich was terrific. We both enjoyed sharing the Izzy's potatoes. Lots of parking was available.”

“Had a wonderful meal with my nephew here last night. Food was fresh,very well presented and delicious. Definitely a great change of pace from the usual! I would highly recommend it if you are looking for a nice, satisfying meal with a different twist. Added note, the Borscht was to die for.”

“fast and good. clean delicios”

“I love momos , fried corn , noodles & fried rice ...”

“Excellent place to share Cheers with your friends and family. Salute!”

“Best coffee in San Carlos... by a considerable distance.”

“I liked the place was surprised that there’s a PB in this area when I was visiting the next door ice cream shop. It was clean and has nice comfy atmosphere but as any other PB in the bay area the food is not fresh compared to PB in NJ or NYC. I think they bake the pastry once or twice a week for the whole week and for sure this downgrade the whole experience for sure. That’s why I gave the food 3 Stars”

“As always, excellent food, service, and atmosphere. We’ve always been able to be seated in the wine room which definitely adds to the experience. This is our favourite restaurant in San Carlos.

“Absolutely wonderful food. Amazing atmosphere. Very dog friendly but you must sit outside to bring a dog. We had dinner and desert with a few glasses of amber qvevri, and enjoyed every drop! Shalva was incredibly friendly and told many jokes. I would highly recommend this place.”

“It was great! Clean, cute, great service, and most importantly tasty boba!
