“This is the BEST Sichuan food I've had since I was in Chengdu. Highly recommend if you're looking for a mala fix!
The Mapo Tofu with minced pork was perfectly balanced in flavor. The House Chili Crispy Fish Fillet was lightly crispy on the outside and deliciously juicy on the inside. And the Sauteed Chinese Baby Greens had plenty of garlic which is just the way I like it.
10/10 I will be coming here at least once a month and telling all my friends about it!”
“Ordered takeout, and pickup went smoothly. My bf and I ordered the golden chili rice noodle and the rattan pepper rice noodle - both were flavorful and delicious but we enjoyed the rattan pepper one a little more. They give a TON of noodles but are a bit light on the toppings. Overall, still a delicious and comforting meal.”
“A wonderful restaurant that changes the menu monthly. This month was good but not my favorite that I've had here - just my taste. The beat salad was excellent! The service is superb but the music is a bit loud and made it difficult to hear my dining companions.”
“MONDAY FOOD REVIEW...PUESTO...6/17/24! After leaving California's Great America, we stopped for lunch at Puesto, a Mexican/American restaurant, located at 2752 Augustine Dr., in Santa Clara. This restaurant features Mexican dishes with an American flare infusion! I had their their Shrimp a la Plancha, which is Mexican shrimp, garlic butter, red onions, jalapeños, guajillo chile, avocado, and Tamarindo-chile sauce, and it comes with herb lime rice, black beans, and blue corn tortillas. This was absolutely fabulous!!! It wasn't your typical Mexican dish...the different ingredients they used to create this dish all blended together VERY well!!! If you are looking for a little something different to satisfy your Mexican food craving, and want some added flair, then this is THE restaurant to go to!!! I HIGHLY recommend it!!!! My rating: 10++++”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Thoughtful gluten free options which are so hard to find. Clean, well run. Insane dessert crepe w Nutella and a ton of fresh fruit. Never would have known it wasn’t gluten-full. Berry smoothie w oat milk too, ‘cause we’re gluttonous. Highly recommend!”
Restaurants with Delivery
“Fresh food, with generous portions! Great flavor, tender lamb, and great falafel! Some places have dry falafels, but these falafels are crunchy on the outside, and perfectly moist on the inside!
As a bonus, their service is great, and is very accommodating/knowledgeable of gluten allergies. I also was on a restricted diet, and they were able to adjust my meal.
Our go to Mediterranean spot, we will always be back”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you’re craving authentic, home-cooked Bosnian food, look no further than Euro Grill in Santa Clara! Every dish feels like it was made with love — rich flavors, generous portions, and the kind of comfort food that instantly takes you back home. On top of the amazing food, the staff is so warm and welcoming that you feel like part of the family the moment you walk in. Friendly smiles, great service, and genuine hospitality make this place a true gem. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to experience the best of Balkan cuisine right here in the Bay Area! 🇧🇦🍽️”
“Very popular chain serving Authentic Marathi / Konkani cuisine.We went for Vada PAO’s a plenty, Misil pao, Sabudana khichdi . A few solkadhis and a Konkan sarbat to drown things and close it with a puranpoli which was just perfect. We had chana masala with puris but it was nothing much to speak about. Sufficient outdoor seating option available as indoors is limited”
“Davon was an amazing host! He went over an beyond to help us order and recommended food.
2nd time already we came here and we keep coming back since Davon was so naturally pleasant and phenomenal. He showed caring and concern for us even after eating. He made sure we got our food and drinks. Was a great person to speak with, you would almost have thought he owned the place. Appreciate the love and care he provided.
The 2nd we went we brought more people.
I would say the only complaint was the chairs are a bit uncomfortable to sit in but food was delicious and service was top notch due to Davon and his crew.
Thank you being open so late, our church has now found a great place to fellowship afterwards and know we are being taken care of. I thank God for Davon!!!”
“the food was amazing. We ordered big plate chicken, lamb ribs, and stir fry lamb with naan. All 3 were very unique and delicious. The big plate chicken had noodles at the bottom, soaked up all the juice from the chicken, absolute bomb. The ribs were fatty, and juicy. My personal favorite was the stir fry lamb with naan. Lamb was juicy, seasoned with lots of cumin, and the naan was crispy.
Service was also good.
Highly recommend.”
“We celebrated my mom’s 60th birthday here, and it was truly unforgettable. The moment we walked in, we felt welcomed and taken care of. The ambiance was beautiful, the food was amazing, and the whole experience made the celebration feel extra special.
I want to give a huge thank you to Kelly, who was incredibly attentive, kind, and so detailed with everything. She made sure every part of the evening went smoothly and made us feel supported from start to finish. And a big shoutout to our server Ash, who went above and beyond the entire night. They treated my mom like a queen, and it meant so much to all of us.
It’s rare to find service that feels this personal and heartfelt. We left with smiles, full stomachs, and memories my mom will treasure forever.
I highly recommend this place for birthdays, gatherings, or any moment you want to make truly special.”
“The service attitude here is great. I like the drinks very much. It feels very magical, like a magic potion🥰”

“We've come to the age where we value quality over quantity when it comes to food; gone are the days of overstuffing ourselves at AYCE locations. As a result, we're always in search of new restaurants where the food really hits the spot and leaves us feeling satisfied. One of my friends recommended Baekjeong, as it was his favorite and go-to kbbq spot in the bay area. I was able to book a same-day reservation for our party of 6, and we ordered 2 large beef combos. The staff cooks the meat for you, and provides around 6 banchans and 2 salad types. Our server was Risa, who was super friendly and attentive, and we felt right at home with her. She kept everything running smoothly and made us feel so welcome. The food was fresh, flavorful, and came out quickly. Since then, many days have passed, but I'll have moments where I think back and crave the food we had at Baekjeong. I'm always looking forward to the next time I can come back.
Additional notes: Free wifi is available. Restaurant is on the exterior of Valley Fair mall. Parking is by the Stevens Creek parking garage with a short walk through the mall; most of the parking directly in front is only for the bank. Entrance is on the first floor, but restaurant is on the second floor with both stairs and elevator access. There usually is a host downstairs at the entrance to admit you, and you wait in the waiting room upstairs. They give a free soda to designated drivers!”
“Been here many many times whenever we crave steaks. This restaurant is tucked in the office buildings. Parking lot is at the back of the building.
Every time when we come, we ask for Dennis. He's the best server you can ever get. He's friendly, polite and proactive. Sometimes I don't have to ask for refills, he already is ahead of the game and bring me my drink or whatever I was about to ask for. I don't come without him serving us.
To start, theeir bread is very good. It comes out hot and soft. We can't stop eating it before our meals.
Their appetizers are good too. We usually get their olive oil poached shrimps and fried calamari. You don't see the olive oil poached shrimps any other places and they're good.
Their wood smoked prime rib is the bomb! They used to only serve this during the weekend awhile back. (We had come before during the weekend and was disappointed it got sold out). Now they have this daily. If it's your first time here, you gotta try their prime rib. You can taste the smoked flavor and it's not over-powering. It tastes much better than a regular prime rib you get elsewhere.
Their steaks are excellent too. We usually get the filet mignon and the ribeye. They look it very well and it comes with 2 sides.
Their pork chop is awesome, so is their sea bass and salmon. You just got to come and try them all.
Now comes to the desserts. Their cheesecake is surprisingly good. It's light and fluffy. We really enjoyed it
They also have private rooms for booking for gatherings or events. We booked one of their private rooms for family event before and got to customize the menu with the help of Robert (manager).
Come support this local business that serve awesome food and services. You won't be disappointed.”
“Came here on a trip to Great America as our pit stop / breakfast of the day. We randomly found this place online when looking for some where to eat. The restaurant is small, but it’s clean and the staff were friendly. It was slow and quiet when we came and our food came out pretty quick I would say. We all ordered different things and in general we enjoyed the food. I had gotten a country skillet that was potatoes, eggs, and country gravy. It was super filling! Other people in the group got French toast and a breakfast sandwich and they liked their choices. My coffee was ok, not very strong, and the hot chocolate also lacked flavor. If I was in the area I would come back and try some other things.”
“This is a reallly wholesome, family-run Indian vegetarian restaurant. For $18, they have a very tasty all you can eat buffet. They bring to your table some fresh made chapati too. There is a delicious lemon pudding for dessert and also always fresh fruit. If you want some good home cooking, this is the place.”
“I no longer live in California. But when I visit, I must stop at Premier Pizza. The chicken bruchetta is by far my favorite pizza there. The staff is great. I will continue to visit Premier every time I visit California.
I even brought a pizza all the way home to the East Coast with me.”

“Very very good food!Tried the lomo saltado and chicken a la plancha.Both were very good, for me lomo saltado was little more tasty. Regardless the food ia very good.
The restaurant is small and not fancy but the food makes it worth coming here! Portions are good size too.”

“First time there and the food was absolutely amazing - can not recommend the brisket”
Takeout Restaurants
“Go-to ice cream stop in the South Bay. Great selection of flavors, with some expected staples + many unique rotating options. Good selection of vegan options (and not just sorbets!), which is noted on the menu itself. Gluten free options are not noted on the menu board, but easily accessible online, where full ingredient lists are also provided. Great for those with allergies or intolerances.”
“Never leave reviews. Just HAD to this time!! Outstanding meal & cust svc. Had the French onion soup burger - TO DIE FOR‼️But it’s at least FOUR napkins. Took 1/2 burger home. So delish & filling. The staff VERY friendly & helpful. I went to Cap Exp to meet a friend. Can not wait to try Law Exp (near me). You won’t be sorry. Enjoy‼️‼️”

“The ice cream taco was good but namely for the novelty. As ice cream, it's texture pales in comparison to the titans of Bay Area ice cream. Great for snacking if you're in the area but don't make a pilgrimage for it. The service is prompt but you'll have trouble finding parking in the area. Great for a little date, it's clean but there's not a lot of seating. It's fairly sweet as well, so I would just share my taco.”
“One of the better dive bars I have been to! Not too loud, great service and drinks, and just a great vibe in general. Would recommend if you’re looking for a chill place to hang out watch some sports and relax. No food though and the place is a little dark (if you don’t mind dim lighting). I did go early (4-7 pm), so no music but a dj did come on later and played some amazing rock music! Anyone playing linkin park at a bar, already gets a 5 on 5 for me!”

“Hidden spot with a variety of food for everyone. From Pizza to Mexican soups and traditional American breakfast, Last Chance Restaurant is worth stopping in for a bite. This table-service restaurant has four seating areas (outdoors included) a pool table, and beer bar. Again worth checking out, shout out to our server Isa for her great food recommendations. The sesame seed crust pizza was delicious!”
“I really enjoyed this place. One of the best halal spots i’ve been too. Authentic and flavorful, portions are big. The people working here are kind and the restaurant is clean and well kept. I got beef/lamb and it was tender, and juicy cooked to perfection. I would definitely recommend this spot.”
“Great environment and top tier pool tables and if you like to participate in tournamens. Just buy in and the tables are open for the duration.. Good prices on drinks. Open area out back for a night with friends or someone special to ya. Food truck out front with good food. Parking is free.”

“TabarakAllah the food here was just like HOME!! It was so delicious I can’t wait to go back again. You know it’s authentic when you see all the Auntie’s working hard to cook the food for everyone. You get a lot of food for a great price!! Definitely a great place to eat!”
“Tobang is *good* but it's somewhat odd in that only select meats can be grilled at the table. Those meats are the bricket, beef belly and pork belly. Every other meet -- e.g. kalbi, bulgogi -- come pre-cooked. They are delicious, though, so no issues. Finally, go ahead and order the Special meal packages, which are cheaper and generous portioned.”

Cheap Eats
“I’ve been coming here for almost 30 years, hands down the best yogurt in Santa Clara county, the staff is usually friendly, except one guy. The biggest downfall is that we should be able to try a couple flavors to see what we like and don’t like before purchasing, I have purchased a couple times where I ended up throwing away my $9 yogurt because it didn’t taste right to me, had I been able to sample first I would’ve known not to purchase that flavor. Please allow samples again…..at least give a limit of 2 free ones, you’re not losing money by allowing a small sample Thanks for the Carbolite options they are a life saver on my healthy lifestyle goals”
“This is the first time to dine in the restaurant. We ordered 3 items to share: a huge Omelette Rice, a curry rice and a ramen. Omelette rice was delicious, beef curry soup was different from others as it had only beef, no others. Ramen was also good. Good service, too.
*We went there the second time and ordered different items. The beef fried rice was so delicious. We also ordered a different ramen and of course, a huge Omelette rice. Wonderful!”
“I had never tried Afghan food until my partner introduced me to this place, and it completely blew my expectations. My partner and I constantly come back to this place when we visit San Jose. The owner is incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely cares about the customers — you can really feel it in the service. The food is absolutely delicious, with extremely generous portions at such affordable prices. We always order the lamb shank, and it was tender, flavorful, and only around $20, which is a steal compared to other Bay Area restaurants that would easily charge $50 or more for something similar. This is a family-owned restaurant that puts real pride and heart into their food and hospitality. Highly recommend!”
“I had such a great experience at Orange Square! The atmosphere is warm, modern, and welcoming — a perfect spot to relax, catch up with friends, or get some work done.
The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, and the service felt genuinely thoughtful. I especially appreciated the small touches — clean space, good music at the right volume, and the kind smiles from everyone there.”
“We celebrated the turning of our granddaughters entrance to teenage life together.
Dear Rice Junky Team
I had the pleasure of dining at Rice Junky in Santa Clara today, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I walked in, Joe, the manager, and Jay, the server, made me feel incredibly welcome. Their attention to detail and genuine care for customers shone through in every interaction.
The food, oh, the food! It was a delightful journey through flavors that are both comforting and exciting. Each dish was prepared with such skill and passion, truly showcasing the best of Korean cuisine. The ambiance of Rice Junky added to the overall enjoyment, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that complements the culinary experience perfectly.
I cannot recommend Rice Junky enough to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable dining experience in Santa Clara. Thank you, Joe and Jay, for making my day brighter. I look forward to my next visit!
Warm regards,
Brian”
“Great food, interesting specialty drinks, and a moody club-like feel (complete with edm mixes and sports on mute), I felt like I was specifically the demographic being catered to. Great place for a date or to pregame before a night out”
“The food was amazing. The service was also great (Tyler served us)”
“Great food, nice outdoor seating and good people, they serve you with a smile.. i like that.. 👍👍”
“Our first time here and everything was delicious! We had the garlic edamame, salmon express and the spicy tails rolls and the salmon with lemon dill nigiri. So good!”
“Above average sushi in a strip mall. They are known for their rolls, which are decent. Solid nigiri although limited. Good for a quick lunch. Checks all the boxes.”
“Rude and abusive owner, poor quality food, bad location, disgusting on the inside, slow service. There is better sushi at gas stations these days.”
“The Tonkotsu broth and original thick noodles were great and the free garlic/chilli was divine (got 2 servings of the chilli) chashu belly was melt in your mouth delicious but portion wise was a bit lacking.
The main pain point was the wait honestly. I think I waited about an hour due to a nearby convention and being a walk-in customer. Definitely try to get a reservation if you want to try their ramen.
The MAIN thing I liked was how they included a 15% service feeand tell you about it upfront and don't ask for additional gratuity! What a huge surprise considering the other places I've been to.
Side note: place is cashless.”
“Indian Sizzler has one of the best buffets I’ve been to. The spread is elaborate and delicious, with a great mix of Indian, Sri Lankan, and Indo-Chinese dishes. The dessert section is fantastic, and I loved that they serve fresh naan and dosa directly to the table. The restaurant is very clean, and the ambience makes for a really pleasant dining experience. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will definitely be back again!”
“Beer selection is good and place is usually busy with ppl. Good place to catch up with friends. Food is only okay imo, but my friends liked it. Come here for the beer anyways”
“Was very impressed by the customer service at this restaurant. The guo bao ro was tasty, but wish it was a little crispier before they put the sauce on. The salt and pepper fish was bland, but the jjamppong was good.”
“This location has changed several restaurants, but I haven't tried it since it changed to cooking Cooking .
The food was surprisingly good, and although the price was a bit high, it was well worth it. pork neck with bitter melon $22 , salt egg yolk with fish & pumpkin $24.50 , salty fish with pork clay pot $24.50 all good!
Especially the bitter melon, it is probably the best I have ever eaten, the cooking time is just right, the pork neck is very soft, but it is full of fragrance.
The service is very warm and friendly! The tables might be too close together and it's easy to hear other people's conversations.”
“Quality, fresh variety of raw sashimi. The Omasake Sashimi, Kaisen Don, and Golden Hand Roll options are showstoppers!”
“New restaurant at Valley Fair. Very tasty and full of flavor. Generous portions.
We ordered fried calamari and fried shrimp along with the wagyu truffle fried rice. The fried rice did not disappoint. All come out piping hot. Will definitely try the other dishes.”
“Total Score: 8.05
Little bit sussy, faucet was loose and paper dispenser was broke. Also so many random cleaning supplies
Customer Service: 4.75/5
Very easy to grab, and refilled our water and napkins without asking. Super nice too.
Ambiance: 4.25/5
Clean and good lighting, and nice signs. Something about drinking beer
Food: 4.5/5
Had a huuuuge variety of foods, all tasted good!!! Huge fan of the mushroom soup ugh was a bomb of flavor. Meats were great, except the lamb and beef were a bit on the drier side.
Wow: 0.5/1
Ugh idk why but the mushroom was so gooodddd I ate it up and swallowed it
Total Score = BR + CS + 2*AM + 5*FOOD + WOW”
“People used to say that it was delicious, but now the taste has changed and they don’t want to go because it doesn‘t taste good. Today I went to have lunch with my husband after a long time. They also prepared an apron for me, and everyone was so kind and the food tasted good. I will come to eat again next time.”
“My friend and I come here every so often and the ladies who work at night are always really kind, almost like aunties. We usually order the cold noodles (mul naeng myeun) and tteokbokki, but we've also tried the seafood pancakes, soft tofu soup with beef, and bulgogi. Everything we've had so far has been delicious.
Our routine is to get our usuals plus one extra dish, which always leaves US with some leftovers to take home. The food is tasty, and whilel can't speak to how authentic it is, it's definitely a great spot to enjoy a relaxed dinner hangout.”
“Absolutely extraordinary experience at Mastro's San Francisco! The food was spectacular - every dish beautifully presented with incredible flavors. The live music and stunning restaurant design created the perfect atmosphere for a special night out. What truly made this evening exceptional was the outstanding hospitality we received. Our server Joe was fantastic - attentive, knowledgeable, and made sure every detail of our dining experience was perfect. We were also fortunate to receive a personal tour from Brian Petersen, the sommelier and manager, who shared fascinating insights about this beautiful location that he helped open. His expertise with wine pairings was impressive, but what stood out most was watching him connect genuinely with guests throughout the evening - educational, entertaining, and creating memorable experiences for everyone. The combination of world-class cuisine, elegant ambiance, and exceptional service from both Joe and Brian made this a night we'll always remember. You can tell this entire team is passionate about what they do, and it shows in every detail. Highly recommend for any special occasion! Thank you Joe and Brian for making us feel so welcomed and for showcasing what exceptional hospitality looks like.”
“Absolutely fantastic food and excellent service. We celebrated our Birthdays tonight, and the staff is amazing. Love their salmon sashimi and megura. Kyiv roll and honey walnut rolls were also delicious!”
“I was misled by this restaurant’s name for a long time—I always thought it was a Chinese restaurant. But when I finally came here, I realized it’s actually a Korean one. My husband used to come here often before the pandemic.
Their black bean noodles are delicious, but that’s not really what I want to talk about. What truly stands out isn’t just the food, but the service. In today’s Bay Area, especially among Asian restaurants, it’s rare to encounter genuine service. You often end up tipping for people who simply drop off your food and disappear.
But at Beijing Restaurant, you’ll understand what real service feels like—and you’ll be happy to tip for it. Their servers focus on actually taking care of your needs during the meal, without being intrusive or using those overly scripted lines like, “How’s everything tasting so far?” that interrupt your dining experience. Their Mexican waiter is neat, attentive, and makes you feel genuinely comfortable. The female server, who has apparently been working here since before the pandemic, adds to that sense of familiarity and warmth.
Altogether, it gives the impression of a place with integrity and care—a restaurant that truly values its customers. I’m more than willing to pay for real service, and I’ll definitely be coming back again!”
“this place is the bomb. food is just so full of flavor, all of it. totally recommend.”
“Fun, Relaxed Spot with Great Food and Vibes
Clara's Junction is a fun place to hang out — the food is pretty good, and there are fun games to play while you eat and relax. They sometimes have food trucks and even a separate BBQ section, which adds a nice variety.
It’s also a great spot to bring your dog once in a while and just enjoy a laid-back meal outdoors. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better.
Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area!”
“visited at 6pm, was quiet and calm.
Very relaxing atmosphere (with a 'river', fish and plants inside), sushi were in a perfect size and very good.
Miso soup and ice cream were great.”
“Went for lunch with two co-workers. We were seated inside right away. The staff were nice and attentive. I'm a Pacific Catch rewards member, and I received a message stating that you could have a free shareable if you let your server know. We decided to have the Coconut Shrimp for the shareable, which was very good! We also enjoyed eating the Japanese Wasabi Original Ahi Poke bowl.
Here's some of the selections that I've had in the past at various Pacific Catch restaurants that I really liked. Seabass Skewers, Baja Shrimp Ceviche, Guaca-Poke, Grilled Asparagus, Sushi Rolls, Miso Black Cod, Lobster Roll, Taco Plater, Fish and Chips, Kanpachi, Chocolate Lava cake, Pineapple Right Side Up cake, Hula Brownie Sundae.”
“Impressive. Top notch. Everything was clean. Great service. Ordered a cocktail off menu and it was great. Would certainly return again. Lam and chicken dishes were amazing.”
“Their Golden Monkey is an absolutely stunning black tea - truly head and shoulders above the others I've tried.
I look forward to trying the coffee”
“This place was the loveliest restaurant I’ve been to in awhile. The cold noodles and sot bap tasted elevated and homey at the same time (perfect combo). The atmosphere was calm and service was really friendly :)”
“Chungdam was a unique combination of simplistic feng shui & classic atmosphere feels. It felt elevated-better than your typical greasy BBQ restaurant. It was nice to have everything prepared & cooked for you. I personally don’t like going to BBQ places where I have to prepare it all - no coordination lol. We ordered the marinaded shirt ribs & a rib eye with all the delicious variations of sides. The sake is so smooth! I usually prefer hot sake more but this was a high quality brand & it was well worth the price.
Definitely would come back for another round to try more dishes!”
“Very authentic flavors, reminded me of the times I ate at the ryoutei style restaurants in Japan! サーモンハラスの塩焼き - Grilled salmon belly 生うどん - Fresh udon noodle soup ユズ香る茶碗蒸し - Egg custard with yuzu with crab sauce on top イイダコの唐揚げ - Deep fried mini octopus”
“Pretty average hotel. Giving it 4 stars given it included breakfast and happy hour. The bartenders and omlette maker were excellent and friendly. Other breakfast staff seemed less than thrilled to be there but overall went about their tasks and kept out of guests way. The rooms could definitely use some updating and the layout was quite awkward being right next to the stairwell. The room felt cramped and the bathroom small to maneuver in. Not sure if all rooms were that way but I'd suggest a different room. The hotel was reasonably close to some restaurants and easy enough to get around the area. Overall not a bad stay.”
“Today was my second time having lunch here. The first time, I tried a few dishes that were decent—seemingly authentic, though nothing that stood out. This time, I explored a few different items with a colleague and again, they were fair but doesn't quite match up to what you’d find at some of the more well-known Thai spots in the Bay Area.
The location is convenient if you’re around Santa University, and it’s spacious enough for groups. One of the biggest perks is that there’s usually no wait during lunchtime, which makes it ideal if you’re on a break or in a rush.
The service is friendly and efficient. The vibe is casual, with decor that gives it an authentically Thai look. There’s a parking lot nearby, and street parking is usually easy to find.
Overall, it’s not a destination Thai spot—but if you’re in the area and want something quick, affordable, and decent, it gets the job done.”
“TLDR: Pricey but worth it for delicious Korean food. Service can be hit or miss, ambiance varies, but the dishes are flavorful. Favorites include the Kimchi Bossam and Tteokbokki.
I’ll be honest, this place is on the pricey side, but the food is consistently delicious every time I visit. The only downside is I can’t come as often as I’d like since the cost is higher than most Korean spots. Still, it’s worth it, so just a heads-up if you’re planning to come.
The service can be hit or miss. Sometimes attentive, other times you’ll need to flag someone down. The ambiance is usually laid back, though it depends on the day and crowd size.
Here’s what I’ve tried:
Kimchi Bossam (19 or 21) – Hell yes!
Seasoned Raw Crab in Spicy House Sauce (25) – Messy and complicated, but not the main event.
Tteokbokki – Delicious.”
“We really enjoyed the desserts at Jell and Chill. They offer unique and tasty Chinese Bing Fen-based dessert drinks that are vegan. I had the yuzu flavor, which was perfectly citrusy and sweet. The ordering system is easy to use, making the experience even better.
They don't offer sitting. However, there are plenty open settings nearby.”
“Thumbs up:
- Easy, free parking
- Classy, quiet, and comfortable atmosphere
- Attentive and friendly service
- Steak was cooked as requested and with a nice chimichurri sauce
Meh:
- The accompanied shoestring potatoes were literally potato chips in shoestring format; really didn't pair well with the steak. Some veggies or polenta would have been much better.
- The key lime cheesecake was fine but not particularly tangy or memorable.
- Ow the lunch pricing. $60 after tax and tip for the steak entree + dessert (no drink), but this *is* in a hotel, so I wasn't terribly surprised.”
“Nice to hang out with my friends after a round of 9 holes. Good drinks and tasty food.”
“Very nice Korean place, we enjoyed so much the delicious barbecue, and the sides were excellent. Fantastic food, quite affordable. A great table for a great dinner with friends”
“Fantastic menu. I enjoyed eating and my 2 daughters as well. Great place to celebrate life milestones.”
“Kunjip is a cozy spot for Korean comfort food in a strip mall alongside other Korean joints. Their cold noodles are a refreshing hit, perfect for cooling off. The beef tendon is impressively soft, practically falling apart. Spicy soup was just okay, not the star. The banchan steals the show with its fresh, vibrant flavors. Only bummer—no BBQ to grill up some fun. Still, a lively gem for a quick, tasty Korean fix!”
“They have several gluten free options. Food and service were excellent!”
“One my goto places here in the Bay Area. Amazing food with really nice atmosphere and customer service. Some of my favorite items on the menu are Gongura Chicken Biryani, Hyderabad Chicken dum biryani (fresh when ordered before 1:30 - 2:00 PM, had occasional disappointments when i got this biryani after this time), Apollo fish, Mutton Chukka, Gongura paneer biryani (amazing vegetarian menu item if you can handle spicy food), Hara bharat kebab, Peshawari chicken tikka, Hyderabadi Chicken 65. I can keep going - but no one would like that 😜
Bad news for Goat (Mutton) lovers out there - this place has one of the worst goat meat you could possibly taste (be it Mutton Dum Biryani or any curry you get, you'll most likely be disappointed) - If you take my honest opinion and suggestion TRY NOT TO ORDER ANYTHING GOAT here (Lamb would be way better). I dont think they've got a good supplier for goat meat (the meat is always extremely chewy and very very dry). Only exception to this being - Mutton Chukka (which is surprisingly amazing) I dont know if they just mess up the biryanis and curries or try and get rid of the older stuff 😞”
“lovely little sit down restaurant with a super cute interior design scheme. we ordered two pizzas and a pasta. very creative and interesting fusion flavors! i really enjoyed the yakult berry drink and the salmon pasta. would definitely come again, especially if they bring back the previous dessert selection.”
“I had dinner at Milo’s Kitchen last night with a few close friends, and honestly, I was blown away. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was warm and welcoming — dim lighting, soft jazz in the background, and the smell of fresh herbs in the air. We ordered the roasted garlic shrimp, truffle mushroom risotto, and the slow-cooked lamb shank. Every bite was perfectly seasoned and cooked just right. The portions were generous too. Our server, Jamie, was super attentive without being overbearing — she even recommended a wine that paired beautifully with the lamb. Definitely one of the best meals I’ve had in months.”
“Overall good foods and great service!
I like the restaurant atmosphere here. Very comfortable and clean. We ordered at lot since I’m very hungry. But the price is very reasonable here.”
“It's an amazing and conducive place.. i like all the foods � very delicious and affordable price.. so, to all people out there try it!!”
“Sandi's Cobbler Cup are awesome but she offers so much more. The gumbo and jambalaya is always fresh and taste great. Sandi is very professional and offers catering that's second to none.”
“This sushi restaurant inside the Hyatt Regency Santa Clara is pretty good. We enjoyed the sashimi and sushi, and we were also able to order off the main lobby bar/restaurant menu too. 🤙🏼🤙🏼”
“Highly recommended, I enjoyed the food and hospitality. Look fwd to taking friends and family here. 4300 Great America pkwy Santa Clara new local spot to eat”
“Absolutely the best kbbq place I’ve had in Bay Area
Meat quality was amazing and the side dishes are amazing, (definitely get the kimchi noodles here)
The only thing better than the food was the service!!! It’s a smaller restaurant so the servers are very attentive and cook the meat perfectly for you every time
Can’t wait to come back”
“I like this taproom at the Whole foods market because it's close to my office and offers a wide selection of beers on tap at a reasonable price especially with the pitchers. You can order food at the bar, or just buy some from the market and bring it over to eat.”
“Went to the Buffet lunch today. The food was delicious and the choices - plenty. Good options for both . Excellent service.”
“Great staff, clean and comfortable rooms, and quiet with nice balconies”
“I ordered delivery from these guys. They have an awesome menu. You can personalize your calzones! They're super affordable for really good food. Check these guys out!”
“The food was delicious 😋 and the service was excellent, I recommend this place for have a nice lunch or dinner”
“love everything about it. The food was amazing and the drinks”
“The San Jose/South Bay area has a dearth of quality of Thai restaurants and this is one of the best by far. Tasty preparations with true Thai spice levels. Have been here multiple times and have never been disappointed.
Nice service and atmosphere as well. Good for lunch and dinner.”
“Been here a few times always a good experience.
Got the chicken sandwich with garlic fries hit the spot!
Also the girl up front was super happy and friendly made it a nice evening to dine in.
When ever I'm in the area and I'm craving wings it's all ways a must!”
“The food was amazing and too filling. The host was really funny and gave us the best recommendations on the food. The fiery cheesy chicken and the rabokki are a must try.”
“The food here is phenomenal...! By far the best Indian place I have ever been.”
“Their stuff is great for picky folks like me, their Sichuan chicken tastes authentic and has that nice fried-then-stirfried texture to it.. it has a metric ton of red peppers in the dish but I ate around them and it only registered as a “medium spicy” to me, who can only handle up to medium spicy. We also got kungpao chicken mild spicy and it was very good for a Chinese-American dish, with some small authentic upgrades to make it taste more complex.”

“Very popular chain serving Authentic Marathi / Konkani cuisine.We went for Vada PAO’s a plenty, Misil pao, Sabudana khichdi . A few solkadhis and a Konkan sarbat to drown things and close it with a puranpoli which was just perfect. We had chana masala with puris but it was nothing much to speak about. Sufficient outdoor seating option available as indoors is limited”
“Fresh food, with generous portions! Great flavor, tender lamb, and great falafel! Some places have dry falafels, but these falafels are crunchy on the outside, and perfectly moist on the inside!
As a bonus, their service is great, and is very accommodating/knowledgeable of gluten allergies. I also was on a restricted diet, and they were able to adjust my meal.
Our go to Mediterranean spot, we will always be back”
“My favorite coffee shop in South Bay. Food is actually pretty good in my opinion, and location is great. Only criticism I have is that:
1. They change the wifi password frequently
2. Can get quite crowded
3. Can be a bit overpriced for some items.
Despite all that, I keep going lol”
“We ordered a cake for my husband’s birthday, and it was absolutely delicious! 🎂 It was made fresh, and the chunks of pineapple were incredible — juicy, sweet, and full of flavor. 🍍 The team even wrote our birthday message and name beautifully in Punjabi, just as we requested. 💛
We regularly order cakes for all our special occasions, and the quality, freshness, and beautiful designs are always outstanding! 🎂🍍”

“We celebrated my mom’s 60th birthday here, and it was truly unforgettable. The moment we walked in, we felt welcomed and taken care of. The ambiance was beautiful, the food was amazing, and the whole experience made the celebration feel extra special.
I want to give a huge thank you to Kelly, who was incredibly attentive, kind, and so detailed with everything. She made sure every part of the evening went smoothly and made us feel supported from start to finish. And a big shoutout to our server Ash, who went above and beyond the entire night. They treated my mom like a queen, and it meant so much to all of us.
It’s rare to find service that feels this personal and heartfelt. We left with smiles, full stomachs, and memories my mom will treasure forever.
I highly recommend this place for birthdays, gatherings, or any moment you want to make truly special.”
“Fun, Relaxed Spot with Great Food and Vibes
Clara's Junction is a fun place to hang out — the food is pretty good, and there are fun games to play while you eat and relax. They sometimes have food trucks and even a separate BBQ section, which adds a nice variety.
It’s also a great spot to bring your dog once in a while and just enjoy a laid-back meal outdoors. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better.
Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area!”
“The Ketli Chai has been our staple for Late Night Eats. My Wife and I took our parents for some yummy Parathas, Maggi and Chai - all amazing, fresh and tasty. Shoutout and special mention to Inder and Jasmeet who made our night extra special with terrific service, recommendation, food and conversation. Keep up with the great taste and quality guys. We will be back again soon :)
