“Amazing food 👍😊great taste and very creative 😉 excellent service! Highly recommended 👍”
“wide open atmosphere, excellent food and great service. Found the beer to be of high quality. Build a flight and you will love it!”
“The service provided by Michael, Vincent, and Jacqy is a shining exemplar of excellence that motivates and captivates. Their warm, efficient, and delightful demeanor elevates the dining experience, rendering every bite a sublime masterpiece. I am ecstatic to bestow upon them and this restaurant a well-deserved Five-Star rating for their outstanding hospitality and cuisine. Thank you again, gentlemen! PS. My hope is for the establishment owner to acknowledge the exceptional caliber of his team, from the kitchen to the dining, as they are truly the linchpin behind this restaurant's success and reputation.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Very expensive but good food. For context, I brought my son for his 25th birthday. We had 9 people, all 17+ years old and _no_ alcohol was ordered. The bill for 9 people with automatic tip came out to be $390 or $44/person.
With that out of the way, we had a good experience. The waitress was very gentle and patient. The place has nice decoration and Japanese architecture.. at least it reminds me of one which is a nice plus on the ambience. We sat at the upper platform so that part is not wheelchair accessible.
They have both menu book and also QR code so you can see what the food looks like. The raw stuff were fresh. Photos shows the things we ordered and everyone loved it. Since it's very expensive, we only come here on very special occasion and this is my 3rd visit in 2 years.
Yes I would go back again.”
“As soon as you walk in you notice the cute interior. I love the aesthetic of the tables and vibe feels similar to mom and pop places I've been to in Japan except the lighting is nicer here.
Pretty orderly service, s/o to the one person waitress running the counter and tables and one person in the kitchen.
Foodwise, place smacks. Been here 2 times in the last 2 years. The quality of dishes I got are on par with overseas both times. Got the kaarage uson set and tofu soba. Mild flavors, but I love that nothing is over-seasoned it's just right imo.”
Restaurants with Delivery
“I love Mediterranean food, and sorely missed the Armenian Gourmet in Sunnyvale when Aram retired. However, Tio's has fulfilled my expectations for delicious food at a great price. I never liked falafal until I ate it at Tio's where it is moist and flavorful, compared to other restaurants where it is as dry as cardboard. I love the lamb and vegetarian sampler. The staff is friendly, helpful and remembers us by name. I have always been very happy with my whole experience there.”
“Marcus and Leslie are Rockstars. I came in around 9pm on May 26th and I was immediately greeted by Leslie. She wore a neat uniform with her hair back. She's definitely a pro at what she does and she took my order and asked follow up questions. Later she gave me a sample of the fried cauliflower, because I was asking about it and it didnt not disappoint. Marcus, also in a neat uniform with long black hair, was very busy around the kitchen and dining room, cleaning, cooking, attending to guest. I requested him to take a picture of me with the decor and he obliged. Everything from the food, service and ambiance was perfect. It gave integrity and professionalism.”

“The broth is satisfying, flavorful, and has just the right amount of numbing spice. I highly recommend the beef bone broth soup base with either medium or spicy heat. The Szechuan spicy base is good, too!
You can choose from various meats, seafood, veggies, and noodles. Pick whichever ingredients you want as long as it meets the minimum 0.8 lbs (they charge you by weight)”
“The sushi here is seriously good - fresh ingredients, creative rolls you won’t find anywhere else. The Fuji Roll? Absolutely delicious. Prices are reasonable, and the staff is friendly, even if the vibe inside feels a bit cramped and could use a deeper clean. It’s a small spot, so I’d recommend takeout or delivery over dining in. For the quality of food though, it’s worth it.”
“This is a well overdue review. My family and I came here a few weeks ago for some pizza to take home and grabbed a beer while we waited. Collin was the one who helped us. Amazing service & very knowledgeable. Our favorites were Purple Potato & Webbs Double Sausage pizzas. You’ve also gotta try their Bacon Arugula Salad…. Fire!”

“I'm glad Porky's was closed and I consider it a blessing at 1 in the afternoon. This place is an amazing little shop to discover with delicious food and is now my favorite.
We had a Cowboy and Momma's favorite pizza along with the bread sticks and stuffed ourselves because it tasted so good. 1 man show right now and the love for the food shows. Will be back for sure. They even have stromboli! I would have posted pictures but I didn't think about it until after I stuffed myself.
Don't miss out!”
“Menu selections are varied and excellent. The minestrone is a very good specialty. Portions are generous. Steaks are excellent and generous in portion size. Breakfast and egg dishes are always consistent. Service is cheerful. Salads are great especially with an Elio’s Greek style dressing..”
“I kept wondering if Mrs Craig Vanessa was really an expert trader like they say, that she is not a scammer like the others, then I contacted her and I was shocked and amazed that with just $1,500 I invested, Mrs. Craig Vanessa helped me managed my account and after 7 Days of trading, I made my first withdrawal of $16,700. I'm here to testify the good work of her after she made a good profit for me in my investment. She's reachable via WhatsApp with the number on her Facebook: Mrs Craig Vanessa”

“Just went on Wednesday as I was passing through. I didn’t realize that they were open do to the farmers market being right there as well. Went inside and it was beautiful. The staff was friendly and attentive. I ordered the shrimp po boy and it was very good. I will definitely be back.”

“We've been to Chicago Pizza 3 times now and every time it's been a great experience. The pizza is delicious and filling. The sides are also tasty. And the people working here are super friendly. Great neighborhood spot!
We typically get a half cheese half green pepper and mushrooms with a side of mozzarella sticks! Definitely recommend! I really want to try their mini pizzas and the Chicken Tikka Masala pizza, they sound delicious.”
“We were in the area and searching for a boba place when we found Smoothie and Wings on the map just off East 14th. S&W has a huge dining area with two separate rooms with tables and chairs.We ordered a couple of drinks with the matcha and mango recommended by the workers. It was tasty and we were extremely happy with the $1 upgrade to their super size. We definitely come back again when we’re back in the area.”
“service was very nice and the owner was kind and welcoming!
But the food.. we loved the goat soup but ox tail was hard to eat(it did not taste good), jollef was lacking flavor :(”

“The McDonald’s in San Leandro is definitely a standout for the area. It gets very busy—especially before dinner time, but honestly, it’s packed almost any time of day. That said, the customer service is impressive. The staff does a great job keeping the line moving and making sure everyone is taken care of.
We ordered a Happy Meal and asked about specific toys, and the employee was super patient and helpful. Even with the rush, they made sure we got what we needed. The drive-thru can be a bit hectic, so just be patient—but overall, great experience. I’ll definitely be coming back!”
“They just hosted our annual Post-Thanksgiving Dinner. We were a party of 30. So much amazing food, and the service was wonderful. There are some special dishes we ordered that needed to be pre-ordered. “House Special Crab and Curry Crab” did not disappoint. We will definitely be back to try more dishes when we are in town.”
“I ordered the berries smoothie. Hands down the best smoothie in town. It was simply scrumptious, delectable, and a naturally sweet treat. Keep up the amazing work.”
Takeout Restaurants
“We got the Ceylon black tea with cream and mango passion fruit tea. They do samples on Friday and Saturday and offered us fish balls. Every time we go it’s very friendly service and I prefer it over others in the area because it’s pretty quick and quiet, without the big crowds.”

“Came here with my family and the food is absolutely amazing. Very authentic and amazing salsa. If the salsa is good you know the food Is good. The staff are very attentive and make sure your set while you enjoy your food. Best little family restaurant in the area!!”
“I ordered here last week for my whole family. They made their meat so soft compared to other restaurants. Also, they have excellent customers service. They all are very nice and friendly. I only tried Grill Porks and Shrimps Vermicelli. I’ll definitely come to try noodle soup next time. I highly recommend this restaurant. ❤️🥰🍲🍛🥢🍴”
“A small hole in the wall right behind the main Safeway in downtown, but, it’s so good! The burgers are generously portioned and there is enough variety for anyone who finds themselves craving a burger but wants it to have unique ingredients. They have enough outdoor seating for larger groups. They offer a half/half of fried and onion rings, which we recommend, too!”
“I did a surprise blind door dash delivery from Texas to my grieving family across town where you are locally and they were appreciative, happy and said it was delicious “it made our morning” and “never thought i would be drinking a lavender tea”If we every make it that way I will come try for myself. 🤜🏼🤛🏼 thanks”
“Every time I have a business meeting or want to get together casually with friends, I suggest Mai Thai. It's consistently good food, nice portions, nice staff, and nice ambiance. It's on the other side of town for me, but always worth the trek. It's also in a nice location if you want to stop by the bakery nearby or the grocery store, too. My go-to dish is the eggplant with basil. It's cooked to perfection every time, and it's always plenty of food.”
“Perfect spot for some comfort food! The owner is amazing - kind and friendly, and so welcoming. I got the fish sandwich and I know I'll be dreaming of it and craving it incessantly. Prices are fair; for me, I ended up having 2 meals out of it. Beautifully decorated, the food is cooked to order. If you're debating it, just go for it - you're bound to find something you'll love!
Parking: A few street parking spots, but a Safeway parking lot adjacent to the restaurant.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Great place to eat before your flight. Located close by OAK International Airport. There are lots of free parking spaces available. Dining area is limited. No outdoor seating. Staff was friendly and helpful.
I got their original giant burger. It was good but there was nothing special about it. I'll come by and try their other burgers next time.
Tables need to be cleaned and chairs arranged. It was a little messy in there.”
“The sate beef noodle here…..let em tell ya….i could give 10+ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ if I can. It just so good that I got so addicted. lol everytime im down to San Leandro. Pho An Hoa is the spot for me. And the staffs here are supper nice, friendly and funnie as well. Highly recommended! Thank you so much!”
“The Double-Double with grilled onions? Absolute perfection. Fries are crispy, and the milkshakes are thick and creamy—chocolate’s my go-to! The menu’s simple, but the “secret” menu (like Animal Style) adds fun options. It’s always busy, but the line moves fast, and the staff are super friendly. The retro vibe with red-and-white decor is chill and perfect for a quick bite after sightseeing. Prices are wallet-friendly, and you get quality that beats most fast food. Open daily till late, it’s a no-brainer for a tasty, affordable meal. Grab a burger, soak in the SF energy, and you’re good to go!”
“I have lived into this neighborhood for almost 8 years. Today I was craving one of those hot dog buns and happen to find this place thru google. Gave it a try. Absolutely no regrets. Chinese donut sticks so fresh and crispy and still with the right fluff in the middle. Good sesame balls. Good egg and ham sandwich. I got 2 sesame balls. 2 pork buns. 1 egg and ham bun. 1 Chinese donut. 4 hot dog buns. And it was only $17.50! What a deal. I will definitely be back again.”
“This is one of the best restaurants around!! It is so awesome, we drove all the way from Tracy. The minute we walked in we were greeted with a beautiful genuine smile and a welcoming hello. Customer service is dead, but NOT here! The food is fresh, fast and DELICIOUS!!! I am sitting here full and STILL eating! I ordered the teriyaki chicken and beef bento box. Perfect amount of sauce and comes with FRESH SOFT white rice, soup, salad and two pot stickers. My amazing spectacular husband ordered sushi. Tfe presentation was fab and the fish was flavorful and fresh. If you have not stopped in for a very pleasant and delicious meal, you MUST! Oh yes, the prices are just right and you receive a filling portion!; Take it from me, an actual doctor, this is fresh and healthy at an affordable price!; sorry about the pictures.. . We are it too quickly!!😀”
“Pizza is made fresh ! No grease at the bottom. absolute delicious pizza. Support this pizza parlor instead of the corpo pizza companies A BONUS pizza by the slice”
“Clean inside, fast friendly customer service and the food was plated perfectly and very delicious my coworker loves his sope he said it was crispy just like he likes it and I asked him is it better than the other place you like and he said yes I was so blown away by his response that I had to make a review for this place enjoy”

“went here the other day for lunch (for the 1st time ever). due to a coworker introducing me to your DELICIOUS sandwiches, you are going to see A LOT MORE!!! Thank you very much! and my one and only recommendation, PLEASE COME AND TRY & SUPPORT! This deli is the real deal & so AMAZING & DELICIOUS! Lastly, the family/ customer service is GREAT!! Thank you again! ✌🏽 ❤ 🥪 😋”
“The environment is beautiful and the service is average. I asked the waiter three times to get a tissue before I got it. The product is very average. The duck was not roasted on the same day, like African roast duck, which was very poor. The lobster smelled of gasoline. It may be a problem with the delivery merchant. But Yi noodles and fried rice are worth thumbs up?”
“I love this restaurant!! This place is probably my favorite restaurant I've ever been to. They have so many options and everything on the menu is delicious! Their vegan pies are amazing!! They have an extensive brunch menu with the flexibility of adding a pancake or french toast side dish to your order. I love sweet and savory for brunch but I can never finish those huge breakfasts so this place is perfect for me!! On top of that the cafe is so cute and the staff is so friendly. I loved it so much I went twice during my one week stay!”
“FORGET L&L, ONO or Ohana. These guys way better. Better treatment and Service is great . Service kicks the rating up for this small kine place. No stink eyes here. Thank you to David for respecting the disabled. Greatly appreciate the Aloha in service there. 🙏ALOHA VIBES HEA.
Wheelchair accessibility: Servers patience with speaking to the disabled.”
“My old pal Limney Gilbert got kicked in the mouth by one of Bucktoothed Mary's horses a month ago, and he's had his mouth wired shut since then. This morning they cut the wires! He asked me to bring him a ham sandwich and chips from the Joaquin Deli because he's been drinking all his meals from a straw, and he's ready to chew! It's my first time at the Joaquin Deli and I'll tell you what...it's clean, the ingredients are fresh as can be and the prices are right where they should be! The workers put the customers first, and not because the boss told them too, they do it as if they owned the place! Very refreshing in today's world! 5 stars ☆☆☆☆☆”
“Such a hidden gem! My brother and I come here quite often and the workers always treat us with so much care. The boba is always delicious and the prices are great. The workers also always hand us a complimentary bubble waffle stick, which we greatly appreciate and love. Heavily recommend.”
“I’m a vegetarian, so I can’t speak about the Q (the men in my house cried when the last wing was grabbed), but this banana pudding is so off the hook I want to cry!! So rich and creamy! I’ve eaten 1/2 of the very generous serving and I’m stuffed. I’m gunna power through it though, because I know if I save it, one of these boys will eat it!”
“From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and fantastic service. The sushi was incredibly fresh, with every roll expertly crafted. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the presentation was stunning. The ambiance was relaxed yet chic, offering a comfortable space to enjoy a great meal. I'll definitely be back for more!”

“Food was good as usual! I don’t think the waitress want to wait on me as I had to ask for chips&salsa and to bring my water while I wait for my food. When she finally brought me the food , no silverware and napkins. I went to staging area and tore off some brown paper”
“Wow, from the second we stepped in, Emily greeted us with a smile, took us to a table and ensured that we had beverages right away. Even though this was a busy Sunday morning, we felt very welcome and attended to. The dip in the food rating is due to my Benedict with fully cooked yolks, but again, it’s a busy Sunday and for that to be the only concern, the team as a whole is on point. Jesus was very efficient and has great timing for check in’s, talk about a multi-tasker!
On our way out, I was unsure where to pay the bill, both the manager and Emily immediately offered help to get us out and on with our day.
After having a few in consistent experiences at another location, we are so excited to know that our new neighborhood IHOP has an incredible team and will be our new go-to
Thank you Emily and team!”
“I love the broth!!!! I can tell that you must have braised the broth forever since the broth was so good. I was busy each time my husband wanted to take me so I asked him to buy to go. OMG a I opened the door coming home to smell Pho all over my home. It felt as if I was at the restaurant. The aroma was pho-Ing good!!! The meat was pho-tastic.and I love the huge volume of onions and fresh tasking ginger in every bite. If you love pho or if you love noodles or if you love food, then you must visit this Pho Thin Ha Noi - pho-ing good.”

“This taco truck is pure magic!!
Dolores isn’t just cooking — She’s pouring love into every single meal she serves!!
Dolores will often say that she always cooks with love; like she is feeding her own family; her own kids; her dearest friends, and her food is a very good reflection of that!!
I’ve tried several different things on Tony’s Taco Truck’s menu, and each one is deeply satisfying in its own way.
Every flavor feels intentional, every bite comforting.
But for me, their chorizo breakfast burrito? That’s next-level!! Perfectly balanced between scrumptious spicy goodness, and the other classic Mexican flavors that we’ve all come to know and love!! The kind of bite that makes you just close your eyes and throw back your head in pure gratitude that you are even lucky enough to experience something that good, especially knowing not everyone can say that!!
Max is always very attentive and kind, working the window, while his mom works her magic at the grill, like the legend that she is!!
This isn’t just a taco truck — it’s a rolling temple of comfort food!!
Everything here is made with love, and it certainly shows!!”
