Comfort Food Restaurants near San Mateo, CA

“Wanted to like this place more. Dosa Box is one of the ghost kitchens in San Mateo Food Mall. Ordered from the website for pick up. You get a text when it's ready, go inside and check in with the worker who is at the desk. They open the locker for you where the food is placed.

Our dosas were completely soggy. Would have been very good if it was still crispy. Although it makes sense that dosa would not be a good take out item. They could've poked holes in the box or put the masala potatoes separate instead of inside the dosa to maintain crispiness.

Also just a note if anyone was wondering, the masala dosa comes with sambar (since the menu is not clear about that).“

“Wow this might have been the most affordable hot pot place of all time. Big selection of meats and veggies, but the sauce station is lacking my favorite condiments which lowkey threw off my bowl but that’s just personal preference.“

“I totally recommend YAYOI Restaurant SM Cebu City branch! For their great & delicious food and great staff, especially to our server Ms. Ygerne 🫶“

“I deliver custom cabinets in Silicon Valley from Bend Oregon and when I’m in North Bay I always eat here. Always fabulous food for me and my German Shorthair Pointer. Room to park for my huge delivery van. I have never got anything bad for last 6 yrs it’s always been great“

“Taste so good~“

“This was a pleasant surprise. The menu is limited obviously but everything on it is delicious. We will definitely be back. For three people to have dinner with an appetizer and a beer was around $50. What a value. I will attach a recent copy of the menu“

“good eats 😎..............“

“This restaurant is run by an elderly couple who are genuinely the sweetest people ever! They make you feel so welcome, and the food is absolutely incredible.
Every time I come here, I get a plate with the shrimp tempura and a California roll, and the chicken teriyaki is so good too. But honestly, their salads are actually my favorite part—I can’t even explain it, but the dressing they use is just so insanely good! I end up eating so much of it. In fact, everything is so delicious that I always buy a ton of sides every single time I go. This place is amazing and deserves so much more love!“

“We travelled from Maryland to experience San Francisco, found this local restaurant within walking distance of our hotel, and decided to give it a try. It was well worth it! The staff was accommodating, attentive and very friendly. The food was exceptional! If you haven’t tried Mediterranean cuisine or love it, this is the place for you!“

“Where do I even start? The food is delishhhhh! I got a pupusa and a tamale. You can tell the food is made with love and care. It was so fresh and tasty. The prices are unbeatable. I'm so glad I came across this little gem. I will definitely keep an eye out for the truck the next time I'm at Westborough Park.“

“They have the Best Comfort food,
Their Tocino, Lugaw and Tokwat Baboy, Porkchops with Rice, Pinakbet with Bagnet and Chicken popcorn are Amazing.

Also, Mochi Donuts are Absolutely elite in quality, texture of mochi donut is superb.

If you’re looking for that perfect balance of a crisp exterior and a beautifully chewy, bouncy texture inside, this is the spot. I stopped by to grab a half-dozen, and they absolutely crushed it.
​
The shop itself has a super clean, aesthetic layout—perfect for a quick Instagram story before you devour them. The staff was incredibly friendly and packed everything beautifully, ensuring the glazes stayed pristine.“
