“Hot bowl is the best food for lunch. You can make your own bowl with available options. Tried chicken hot bowl, veggie bowl with tofu. Tried options with spinach, pasta, Thai curry and also with teriyaki sauce.. all items are made great and tasty here.. highly recommended for lunch for veggie and non vegetarian.“
“I would pass by World Wrapps many times whenever I went to City Center, wondering what food they had.It's a good thing I tried, because it's now my go-to place for great and healthy cuisine.They have a wide selection and even vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options. The cost is reasonable, and the serving size is adequate.The only restaurant I could visit several times a week!“
“If you’re on the hunt for the ultimate sandwich experience, look no further than this gem! I swing by here regularly, and let me tell you, it’s hands down the best I’ve ever been to! The vibes are always top-notch, and the customer service? Oh, it’s on point! The staff here, especially Jesus, knows how to make your visit memorable. They’re always ready to accommodate any special requests with a smile. And talk about speed! I’ve never waited longer than 7 minutes, which is practically warp speed in the sandwich world. This place has got it all – flavor, speed, and service. It’s a must-visit for any sandwich aficionado out there! Keep rocking, sandwich squad! ?✨Vegetarian options: Got to check it outDietary restrictions: Have tons of vegan optionsWheelchair accessibility: Very easy to get in and out“
“A little hidden gem of a Japanese restaurant tucked in a strip mall featuring Safeway. The employees are super kind and attentive. The food was surprisingly tasty and pretty. The edamame were a bit over cooked and under salted and the salad did not have enough dressing but the flavors of the teriyaki salmon and crab rolls made up for it. Great!“
“I'm not a poke person. I'd stay FAR away from raw fish, and wouldn't appreciate it in the few times I had it. So whenever we came to Poke Don (because my wife loves poke), I'd always opt for the cooked "poke bake." Which is basically like a whole bowl of a deconstructed Lion King roll. And I loved it. For years, I had the poke bake. And it'd be enough if this review ended here. I'd probably give it 5 stars based on their poke bake alone - because I can eat it (since it's cooked) and I enjoy it. But one time, I DID decide to try a regular poke bowl. With little to no raw fish, of course. Unagi, tamago, fake crab, real crab - there's definitely a way to do it. Except I put in one scoop of raw salmon. And to my surprise, I actually didn't mind the blend of everything (including the salmon) with the sauce, rice, and toppings. Even I was shocked that I liked it. Since that day, I'm able to mix up my orders. Sometimes I'll stick with the ol' reliable - the poke bake. And sometimes, I'll get an actual poke bowl - of course with unagi and crab meat. Well, and maybe 2 scoops of salmon too.“
“Cute little dessert spot! I ordered the sprinkled cupcake and got a fudge brownie as well. Very sugary but the cupcake was great. It was a bit messy but it tasted delicious. Had the brownie a bit later and it wasn't spectacular or anything but it definitely tasted good. Would recommend trying this spot after having dinner somewhere else or to end the night!“
“If you're reading my review of C Casa San Ramon, I'd first like to say that I hope you and yours are happy and well, and that I promise you that you won't be disappointed. I ask that you please forgive me, if you feel that it's long, because I have so much that I'd like to share, and I ask, that you please don't desecrate my heartfelt review with any notion that I'm not being honest, or was paid. I'm a retired young old man, and I enjoy spending my meager pension on meals with my sweetheart Rene'e, she's the air that I breathe, so I'm very selective about where I spend my pennies. There are many reasons why C Casa San Ramon is my most favorite place to dine, to begin with, the place is absolutely beautiful, it feels like a resort, definitely a place to impress if you have a new love. Secondly, what immediately stood out was how kind and genuinely concerned all the staff seemed to be about the customers experience. I don't doubt that each of them were gentle spirits to begin with, but I could tell that the manager must have made it clear upon their hire, that she'd accept no less, I'll talk about her shortly, her name is Marilyn. As far as the meals are concerned, you could literally close your eyes, throw a dart on the menu, and be glad it landed there, however, I often get the Nachorizos with chicken or pulled pork, OMG! delicious, or the Street Style Baha Fish Tacos - I just drooled on my iPhone :-) And finally, I've got to mention Marilyn, the manager I spoke of earlier. What a kind soul, as I mentioned, I'm no longer young, but my sweetheart Rene'e and I make each other feel young at heart. Sometimes when we walk into a place, they can seem to disregard us as no longer important, but I just hold her a little closer and remind her of how important she is to me. From day one, Marilyn smiled at us and made us feel immediately welcomed, I felt that she really cared, her warmth has been consistent ever since, and she has injected herself into our souls. We Love Her... recently we were there, and a piece of chicken positioned itself, in such a way as to threaten choking me, my girlfriend made Marilyn aware of the situation and she immediately asked if we needed her to call 911. I told her not yet, and she then asked if she could bring me a carbonated drink, I said yes, as she returned with the drink, I could tell from the sadness and terror in her eyes that she loved me too. In closing, I'd like to say that her inner beauty, is truly matched by her outward beauty, I have sat within earshot, of a group of the most beautiful women, discussing how very attractive they felt Marilyn was, well, Angels are often beautiful aren't they. Sincerely Tyrone and Rene'e“
“Super delicious food! Hospitable servers, and a fun environment with an Instagram picture worthy interior. They’re great representatives for Peruvian food. Makes for an awesome night in SF! Loved this placeTry their pulpo anticucho for a delicious and well portioned octopus tentacle with potatoes, or go straight Peruvian with their fresh ceviche. Honestly can’t go wrong with anything on their menu.“
“This place is awesome! I'm so glad there is a location near me. It's the closest thing to home-made when you don't feel like cooking. Customer service is great too. They are blessed to have Rich & Daniel they are so polite and congenial. I always know they're going to make sure it's done right..Vegetarian options: Awesome, wish I could make it this good at home“
“I hosted an end of the year party and retirement celebration for my school colleagues. We went with the BIY option and guests really enjoyed making and baking their own pizzas!The pizzas themselves received rave reviews from guests…some went back for seconds! The pizza was delicious and cooked so quickly and to perfection in the pizza ovens which were super simple to use. Everyone had a great time and expressed how much fun they had and what a unique idea it was to have for the party.Kellie Joe was so easy and pleasant to work with. Throughout the entire process she was easy to get in touch with and clearly explained all the steps necessary to ensure the event was a success.Would definitely work with Kellie Joe again and plan another pizza party!“
“My daughter and I walked into such a great bakery. The ambiance was amazing and the customer service was great. We met the owner and couldn’t believe how young he was. Tried the burnt almond cupcake and ordered a cake for the bridal shower. Overall wonderful experience and I would highly recommend.“
“What a wonderful finding. The service is extraordinarily friendly, and the caramel latte is amazing. The ratio of milk to caramel to coffee is ideal, the flavors are all completely harmonious and fresh, and the sweetness is outstanding. Not my favorite coffee I've ever had, but the flavor combination more than makes up for it. Strongly advised!“
“Don’t be fooled by the outside of this place. It’s in a strip mall, but the food is DELICIOUS. Super fresh ingredients and loved the flavors. I had the Chicken Tikka Sandwich and my wife had the Reuben Sandwich, both were super delicious. Pasta salad had blueberries, beets and other yummy ingredients and was great too. Super friendly staff.“
“Everyone here is absolutely delightful. Right when you walk in, you are greeted with a very friendly hello! They are very considerate and care about delivering a quality experience. This place is worth going to just for the wonderful staff alone. Food is always consistently good as well!“
“Our lunches, both Mango salads, were vibrant & fresh, packed with flavor, three plump shrimp and beautifully presented with a gorgeous purple flower. Will be getting cravings for this again very soon and all summer long. We are so looking forward to trying all of their dishes, they all looked incredible as we were making our way out of this elegant restaurant. Be sure to put enough money in your meter before entering the restaurant ($2.50 per hour). The fine (it is a private lot) is hefty.“
“I ordered a birthday cake for my 3 year old from here and I wish I had known about this place sooner. The design was SPOT on, executed perfectly, the cake itself was maybe the best cake I’ve ever had (and I do not like cake), the frosting was not too sweet, and the service was great.I have never seen my family and friends eat cake like this before. I’ve spent hundreds on beautiful but inedible cakes. Never again.I cannot recommend this place enough and will use them exclusively for all my baked good needs!!“
“I love this place! The guy always behind the counter is super friendly & helpful. And his wife definitely knows how to bake. I’ve never had anything but yummy here. Especially the cream puffs! They also bake their own Persian bread, which is incredibly hard to find in the East Bay. Highly recommend don’t listen to crazy bitter customers =)“
“This is authentic Eastern European grocery shop with self made cuisine. I absolutely love cottage cheese - sirniki here. They are one of a kind and do not contain much flower.Plov is also something I recommend to try if you eat lamb meet. As to the salads like: olivie, shuba, vinegrette and beets salad still cannot compete with my Babushka (grandmother). However, I would give them a better than average credit.Overall, warm service and clean place, I enjoy coming here to get tea, honey, coffee and cakes.Average bill groceries +food $100-150, again depends on your aim.Enjoy, ?“
“After searching for healthy options in the area this came up on my search and found the website and after reading Mary’s story I was game to give it two weeks. First off the food is top notch it’s so delicious and creative. There has not been a meal that has not been amazing. Mary herself is an amazing top notch person who goes the extra mile to alter the menu to your needs. She offers so many options to help cater to her customers. I wish her and her business the absolute best. I’m am very very happy to have found her and look forward to picking up my meals each week.I just ordered three more weeks and plan on continuing while I’m out in California.Honest reviews by KS“
“Awesome authentic southeast Asian food. I've visited various places in southeast Asia over the last 20 years.Especially appreciate the nasi lemak, and the char kway teow. Good drinks like kopi and Milo. And it's got much better ambiance than a hawker center. :)Meat is halal.“
“I've tried a few different meal delivery services in the Bay Area and Alab is by far my favorite. The meals are consistently very high quality and I haven't seen a repeat item on the menu since I signed up a few months ago. The meals can be personalized for you based on your dietary preferences as well. My coworkers are jealous of the meals that I bring to work every day. I would highly recommend checking out Alab SF if you are looking for a local meal delivery service!“
“This my favorite pizza. I am a little bummed that they seem to have changed the quality of their toppings though. The veggie pizza used to have large chunks of veggies and now they are more like the other pizza joints. But the customer service is really good, and they have a great vibe/ambience.“
“Walked in & waited in line about 5 mins to place a to-go order. Waited about 10 mins or so for my order to be ready. Breakfast Sammie & Press Sub were both delicious. Had a Graham Cracker Latte while waiting for my order...very tasty. Staff were friendly and the place had a great atmosphere. Definitely will be returning to try more.“
“This place is amazing! The pastries are so good, the bread has a perfect balance and crumb. I love that the sugar level in the breads is lower than store bought. I buy all my bread there now. Everyday of the week is a different bread feature. The Tuesday bread is perfect for sandwiches and the Sunday bread is perfect for French toast!! The servers are always polite and don’t mind my mispronunciation of the pastries every time. Thank you so much for being here in Castro Valley!!“
“I don't live in the area. I live over by Concord, but I had met a friend for a late breakfast and I wanted some good bread and something sweet for later. After this visit, I can't wait to go back! Rye bread: so good! It's hearty and real bread, not like what you find on grocery shelves. It's not a strong rye, which I do love, but with its milder flavor profile I found it works with more foods. If I understood correctly, they don't make the bread and another baker supplies it under what I assume is a contract as it has a Primrose label. ***** Bourbon Maple Eclair ---- I can't stop thinking about it! So delicious!! The puff pastry was perfect. Real puff pastry isn't rubbery and too often that's what you get. This isn't just lazily filled with whipped cream like 90% of places when you get an eclair, it's half filled with a perfect custard and whipped cream. Now, as I write this I'm thinking maybe I shouldn't tell you all this, as then you'll go there and buy it all. But on the other hand, if you go and keep up love and demand this excellent bakery keeps doing their thing. My sincere compliments to the pastry chef! Chocolate cake: I got one of the personal sized, though really good for 2 people or 2 servings round cakes. I honestly don't know which cake I ended up with - could have been the salted caramel in. The sponge was light with a good flavor, the frosting etc had a good balance of sweetness. I recommend highly. It was the best cake of this style I've had in a long time. Presentation - all their offerings look amazing and if getting desserts to share with friends these will make a lovely visual presentation and delight the palates. Oops! No photos. Guess I'll have to go back soon and correct this error:) Go! Enjoy!“
“5 stars are not enough for this bakery! A friend brought me two slices (princess and marzipan) as I had been getting inquiries about good wedding cake references. The flavor was delicious and they were beautiful. Let’s just say I am kind of a cake snob, so I am so excited to have found a new favorite bakery! They were excellent and fresh, even though I didn’t get a chance to eat them the night she brought them. I will be ordering my next celebratory cake from Le Gateau Elegant!“
“Went a couple of times because friends, a few months ago, said it was good and I had seen the line out the door on a Saturday. Both times I went, 3 months apart, during the week, the almond crossaint was dry. It is flaky and crunchy, but kind of dry on the last quarter end each side. No filling til the middle.The middle had a lot of almond paste- too much that it was too sweet and i could not eat it all. Maybe if they made it smaller with the paste not so much in the middle it would be better - a better dispersment of the filling. The choc crossaint had a lot of the flaky pastry but a thin line of choc could hardly taste it. The apple braid was delicious. Crispy crunchy and the right amount of filling to pastry ratio. My favorite so far. More different fruit braids would be great! I went at 8.30a during the week. I was the only customer til another person walked in. The pastries were 6$ plus and they had day old pastries for sale. If the ratio of filling to pastry was better and not too dry on some of them, I would be back more often!“
“I cannot express how much I love a dedicated gluten free facility. It makes it so easy for my celiac husband to find tasty treats and drinks. The desserts, particularly the cookies and cupcakes are so good you would never know the difference between non-gluten free items (I say this as someone who eats non gluten free items all the time). We love the desserts so much we ordered our wedding cake from here and it turned out beautifully! We could not recommend this place enough. It's a little pricey but that's to be expected with the pricer ingredients and in being in an expensive area.“

“The food is good and the service is pretty fast. You have to order food and then the food is brought out to you. We tried the kalua pork hash, ube latte and mochiko chicken and pandan waffle. The food was very tasty. The mochiko chicken was perfectly crispy and the waffle has a great pandan flavor as well. We were not a huge fan of the ube latte, you can't really taste the ube.“
“We tried this bakery for the first time last week. The owner was really nice and friendly. We have a daughter and son in law that are vegan. We purchased vegan rice crispie treats and brownies. My son in law said the brownies were the best he has ever had and everyone loved the vegan rice crispie treats. I also purchased a few non vegan Oatmeal raisin cookies which I just loved. We also purchased raspberry jammies MAJOR YUMMY.... they had other fruit but we love raspberry. We had everything to go so I did not eat anything there. The bakery was very clean and well managed. I now have a great go to place for vegan and non vegan pastries and cookies.“
“I picked up an assortment of mini cakes from Gene's Fine Foods to give them a try. These are absolutely incredible! Both the cake and the frostings are light and fluffy and incredibly delicious. I would be very stressed getting a full sized cake, because it might be eaten by the time I got to the other end of Pleasanton.“
“This review is long overdue. A wonderful pastry shop where everything is made eggless - cookies, biscuits, and cake slices, and there are plenty of vegan options as well. There are snacks like veg puff, chaats, etc. Try the new addition - quinoa chocolate loaf (no flour)!“
“5 stars! I love this location. They have also been so great especially when it comes with delivery. I live a few blocks away and they deliver at a timely matter. The other day, there was an app glitch. Apparently my pizza (which I always order the same every time) had the wrong added topping. I called and they fixed it right away. Either way, if you are planning on having a kids or gathering party at the franchise, it is a MUST! The staff is kind and the managers are great and they all car! Also if you order delivery, I suggest to tip the driver separately, especially since they are delivering for you! Don't miss out and come have their pizza!“
“I stopped in hoping for a quick to-go order. It was my first visit, i happened to be in the area. The atmosphere is very pleasant, clean and friendly. I ordered a simple side dish of pork fried rice. It was delicious, hot and full of flavor! No soy sauce needed at all. The food tasted great, it wasn't greasy or over done. I look forward to coming in to dine and order more items. The kitchen is in full view, I like this because it helps to see they keep their place clean and the cooks looked to have handled the food properly. I felt comfortable here. Will visit again soon.“

“Karin's baked goods are delicious! We go to her stand at the Menlo Park farmers market nearly every Sunday. We love the mixed fruit scones, the fruit cobbler, the flourless chocolate cake (it's amazing with raspberries on top). Really, everything is just great! It is the perfect bakery.“
“This place is a gem their croissants are so good. Ive also tried their baguettes and some other pastries they are also really good. Their parking situation is not the best, meter parking by park smart inc. which is a shady company. You will get ticketed even if you paid. I got ticketed with minutes left on the meter and the disputing process is impossible. It's sad this parking company makes it so hard to support local businesses.“
“Food and service were above expectations! The menu has plenty of options and our group ordered almost everything lol.. Love this place.! Everyone was so nice and said goodbye on our way out as if we were family. I will most definitely be coming back.!“
“My review is just for the bar, since I've only ever been to the bar. The staff are friendly and very helpful. They serve food at the bar in addition to the usual bar beverages. I was pleased to see that they also had a couple great non-alcoholic beer options.“
“For over 25 years SOZO has been our favorite sushi place. The food is excellent and the selection is considerable. Service is with a great staff. O matter your in a table, booth or sushi bar, you get great food and a wonderful meal. Try and you will love it.Vegetarian options: Great selectionDietary restrictions: Will accommodateParking: Plenty to use“

“We stopped because we saw they offered outdoor seating and that worked for the small dog with us. We were seated quickly and the friendly server brought us water for the dog while we chose our food. Everything tasted great and we were well taken care of.“
“Women-owned, black-owned business. Started in Berkeley and now in Walnut Creek. Like what the sandwich board says outside the front door “Damn Good Cupcakes.”, Cupcakin’ Bake Shop lives up to the hype and then some. Yummy, delicious, not too sweet, moist mini cakes. These are not your typical cupcakes. Beautifully decorated. There are over a dozen flavors to choose from at any given time. It was very hard to pick!The Chocolate Raspberry is chocolatey with raspberry puree filling topped with fluffy, airy whipped cream and a fresh strawberry.If you love carrot cake, get the Carrot cake cupcake - it’s like eating a mini carrot cake filled with chopped walnuts, cream cheese frosting and a cute mini carrot decoration. The cupcake can be boxed in its own specialized box so it doesn’t move.The size of these cupcakes are great for kids, perfect for parties, showers, birthdays, weddings, cupcake towers. They offer vegan and gluten-free. Dairy free is special order.They also bake cakes with 7 day notice.The Walnut Creek location does not have a place to sit, but there is a bench outside to sit.“

“Second time in two months. Love this place. Tonight having the teriyaki tofu with soup, salad, and rice. Cubes of silky tofu on a bed of lettuce and shredded cabbage with vegetables. The vegetable tempura appetizer plate was perfect and lasted only a few minutes. Partner had the cherry blossom. Yummy! Great service. VERY clean restaurant. Tucked away in the corner of strip mall near the Round Table Pizza. Dining area in back big enough for a team lunch or dinner“
“Nermana created a masterpiece for our wedding day! Planning, style, taste, and delivery - Nermana had us covered! Nermana was delightful to work with. When it came to the design, she provided us with great insight and expertise. She was extremely punctual and instilled a great deal of confidence in us. Regarding the cake itself, it was beautiful and caught the eye of all our guests. Additionally, it not only looked amazing but tasted amazing! Our guests loved the assortment of flavors. A piece of flexibility Nermana was able to provide! Can't thank you enough! It was truly a piece of art!“
“This is my favorite sushi restaurant in Pleasanton. I like to eat here for lunch, it is not crowded and has a good selection of fresh fish. I always go for some nigiri, I love the Uni w/ Quail Egg, Aji, Kanpachi, Tamago, and Maguro. The Red Mountain Roll is my favorite, I also like the Four Seasons and Salmon Lover. I would highly recommend trying this place if you are in the area. The staff here is great and very friendly.“
“So new owners and much friendlier people working there and the pizza is amazing took me back the the east coast, crust was crispy the sauce is on point. They are doing a great job so far…I can say “ I take back my old review from the last time I went….Horrible customer service guy in back with really bad haircut is really rude with no people skills whatsoever. However the lady in there is very nice but always look over worked and tired poor thing“
“A great place to sit outside right off of the Iron horse Trail. We bike very often along the trail and this is perfect stop to make in the shade and sit outside and enjoy one of their many beers on tap or a glass of wine. We ordered their Yard Sale individual pizza and it was simply delicious! We had to take some home because we couldn’t finish the whole pie! Next time, we will try the large slice if we just want to sample and have a cold brew! Great fast stop if you just want to have a quick rest and enjoy a warm day!“
“Pasta's is very reliable in terms of service and the quality of the food and drinks. We eat there about once a month. The restaurant does offer tasting specials for items not on the menu (individual items on the special menu may also be ordered a la carte) but I would appreciate it if the regular menu could be revised from time to time.“
“My happy little place.Love the concept of making your own FroYo cup. You can choose your base FroYo flavours and their amounts and pick from a range of toppings. You pay based on the weight of your cup.One suggestion is to change and bring new flavours more frequently (maybe I visit this place too often ?)“
