“Amazing tea, AMAZING customer service. The young lady that works there named Kianna is just about the nicest person I've met. She is so sweet and keeps me coming back to Ume over any other boba place. The custard is so good and everything is the perfect sweetness. It has the best collabs and the cutest pink vibes too.
I felt compelled to write this review because of how awesome the young lady is. Thanks Kianna!”

“This specific location is always filled with super friendly and helpful staff. They recommended I download the app for all the benefits, which I did and now love. But they also helped me figure out how to navigate the app and rewards system,
while I was ordering and they did it all with a smile on their face. The store is always super clean and my orders never take long. You really do have a great staff at the Santa Rosa location!
We are new to Crumbl Cookies, but me and the family are obsessed already!”

“Oh well, I like jb very much. Order through the app for better deals.
About the app, be very careful ordering regarding the location. Out of all of my fast food apps. JB is the worst at displaying exactly which location you are ordering from.
And they are unforgiving if you ordered to the wrong location.
Guess what, there's a defunct Denny's right next door that's been reborn as an all u can eat sushi joint!”

“McDonald's might be corporate, but the people in it are not. And the ones that this one were super nice to me today. I had a free french fry for my birthday, today is not my birthday but I had to hit the deadline haha, so I went in and got my free french fries, and told them that they were for my birthday. They got so excited they gave me a free ice cream cone. That was so sweet. The food was delivered to me at the counter in a timely way, the place was spotless, every worker was professional. I use their app almost exclusively, they had a 50 cent double cheeseburger special, cuz it's burger day or something, so I got that and one other cheap cokes. In 15 minutes you can use another special and I was just done eating. That's when I got my free fries. All told I had a full meal for like $2.”
Sushi • $$
“Shiki Sushi is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, the experience was fantastic. The sushi was incredibly fresh, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. Every bite tasted thoughtfully prepared, with high-quality ingredients and great attention to detail.
The service was warm, attentive, and welcoming, which made the entire meal even more enjoyable. The atmosphere was also wonderful, relaxed, inviting, and perfect for everything from a casual dinner to a special night out.
If you’re a sushi lover, Shiki Sushi is definitely worth a visit. Fresh ingredients, excellent food, great service, and an overall fantastic dining experience. I’ll absolutely be coming back!”

The experience from start to finish was great. They were so friendly when I picked up my order. There was a little birthday message on the box. Such a nice detail. We warmed up the pretzels according to the directions and wow were they tasty! We will order again, for sure. Thank you for helping me create such a nice birthday weekend.”

“Lovely little bakery with scrumptious food and service. We ordered a sandwich, a loaf of bread (which they sliced for us), a chai, and an iced tea. All were wonderful. The chai was a house blend and had a good kick! There is indoor seating - about 3 tables. I enjoyed looking at the art by local artists on the walls. Plenty of vegetarian options. Street parking nearby. Quiet interior. My only complaint is I wish they had prices posted for most items, not just the drinks.”

“You know the food is good when Abuelita (did I spell that right?) is in the kitchen. I simply ordered a shrimp quesadilla with their handmade tortilla. Speechless. The handmade tortilla was so perfect that every time I go to a Taqueria now I ask if they have handmade tortillas just to see if I can re-create the experience I had here.. The shrimp…seasoned but not so over-seasoned that you didn’t taste the shrimp. The cheese balances and blends flavors and textures at the same time. That’s it, cheese, shrimp and handmade tortilla. I was in the area for work but I promise I’m gunna make the 1 hr drive back on my own time just to order this again. The chips were even homemade and oh my gosh they went so well with also homemade salsa.”
American • $
“When it comes to breakfast in Sonoma county this place is one of my favorites. The food here is amazing, Love the salsa and the gravey here to add to my food. Coffee here is great and always a fan favorite, but if you like to live on the wildlife they do offer a few drinks with alcohol. I go here strictly for the breakfast menu, but the also serve lunch type of food which looks amazing.
I am always welcomed here with a friendly smile and greeting which makes me feel like I am wanted here and thankful that I stopped by for a meal and a friendly conversation.
The atmosphere here is like you are walking back into time as it has a feeling of a old fashion diner. The place makes you feel like you are walking into a family dinner with how they treat you. Parking is easy as they have a huge lot and plenty of parking.
When traveling out that way make sure to make a stop and take a chance on this gem. I promise you that the staff and food will not let you down.”

Bakery • $
“I have tried some of their breads and they are OK. Could be better. Not on par with La Brea. The baguette looks good but only comes in French (sweet) not sourdough. They should start making sourdough baguettes. The batards are shaped too much like basketballs but do come in sourdough as well as the non-sour or Pane Francese. They are moist inside not over baked and dry so that's good. Pic of baguette and toasted slice of sourdough.”
Fish & Chips • $
“I absolutely love this place and have been coming here for a long time — it’s one of those little gems you just keep coming back to. I recently stopped by again because they have a special on certain days where you can get $3 fish tacos (yes, THREE dollars!) and they’re so worth it. Pro tip: follow them on Facebook and Instagram so you can catch when the specials are happening — it’s totally worth planning a visit around it. The food here is always made fresh to order, which I love because it means everything tastes hot, fresh, and just right. This time I tried the artichoke and the crab cakes, and I cannot stop thinking about those crab cakes. They were perfectly crispy on the outside, tender and full of flavor on the inside — not greasy, not dry, just absolutely delicious. The artichoke was also perfectly cooked and came out steaming, making it such a comforting appetizer to share. One of my favorite things about this spot is how cozy it feels. It’s a small, inviting place with a few outdoor tables, so you can sit and enjoy your food in a relaxed setting. There’s no big dining room “scene” inside — it’s more of a laid-back, neighborhood vibe, which honestly makes me love it even more. It’s the kind of place you can just stop by, grab something amazing, and take a minute to slow down. Every visit feels personal, like you’re supporting a local business that really cares about what they serve. The food always comes out looking beautiful and tasting incredible, and the staff is always kind and welcoming. This is hands-down one of my go-to spots, and I recommend it to anyone who loves fresh, flavorful food and a cozy atmosphere. I’ll definitely keep coming back!”

Sushi • $$
“Menu is a little overwhelming. It takes a while to read. A lot of rolls with made-up names. I’d prefer to just have a basic 10 rolls and then be able to customize. It’s great that they list the sauces they put in the rolls. But again, just the choice of adding them would be more convenient. The quality of the rice and other ingredients is wonderful. The rolls are delicious.”

(We very much enjoy seeing the staff when we go… and if you are seeing this we love you guys!!!) We try and go at least every other week, and when we bring someone new it becomes their new obsession too. We are considering reaching out to see if we can host an event or have them cater our engagement party. I just want to share this place with the world it’s so fabulous in every way possible. Make sure you have the fried meat gyozas and the pork belly chasu!!! 1000/10 would recommend. Also their kimchi is to die for, I always order extra. I wish they sold it by the tub! Hands down best place in Santa Rosa!”

I had originally gone to another restaurant but they were so “full” and I just wanted to get a meal to go and be out of there. I ordered the Shrimp & Chicken Udon Noodles box which consisted of the Udon Noodles, kale, bean sprouts, steamed rice, side salad with cucumbers and tomatoes with a Japanese dressing. A soup with tofu & green onions in a bone beef broth. Also, I order the Jumbo Tempura Shrimp and it came with a teriyaki sauce. A very good meal with large portions. Friendly staff & a clean environment which is very important to me.”

“I don't really give 5 stars often, which is NOT reserved for overpriced fine dining in my book. We were at sushi buffet next door but wife wasn't feeling good and don't eat sushi anyway so we ordered Togo for her from Khoom Lanna afterwards. Boy I wish I didn't overeat. I could smell the sweet aroma of the Boat Noodle. Also the Wokei from the Pad See Ew was Fire! Super flavorful and not great at all. Wife is usually really picky about that. Was gonna go back tonight but found Viethai and decided to try that instead. Oh man we regret it. Going back to Khoom Lanna tomorrow for lunch before going home. If togo was that good, can't wait to dine in. Sorry no pics this time.”

“Chill vibes, plenty of space for a group gathering. Selection of board games and arcade games for entertainment.
Beer offerings were good (particularly the Gose), but lighter on sheer number of choices on tap than other places.
Trivia nights on Thursdays, much fun to be had…and a food truck on the back patio (assuming a rotating bunch as well).”

Asian Fusion • $$
“Food is very good - we liked the eggplant tofu and Singaporean noddle among the dishes we ordered. Good deal on lunch special - even served on weekends! Service is very good and accommodating.
Beef (tri-tip) js a little dry and not worth the $4 extra.”
Sushi • $$
“I first reviewed Paradise years ago. I have been a regular patron even though i live an hour away. I invite my team, new clients, and family there regularly. Theee buffet menu is well organized, easy to order, and they are fast! Even when busy, they have stellar service and their front end staff are so great. Jefe Juan, at the 4th Street location is an amazing owner. I constantly ask him to put another shop in Ukiah, yet to no avail. Out doesn't matter. I'm still coming in. And I'll see you tomorrow.
PS: This is not conveyor belt sushi. This is made to order and everything is fresh and quality.”

When I asked about what I could order that would be similar the man on the phone told me they could make it for me. It was exactly what I wanted and so good!!! Kafal Restaurant has made a very pregnant lady very happy 10/10”

“WOW!! I walked into a restaurant that transported me to memories from long ago. Sappy, I know, but I can tell you that in all the restaurants that I've been to not one has ever nearly brought me to tears from the first step inside the door. The decor was tasteful, no awful booths, and inviting. The staff courteous. A question asked was answered with a genuine smile, no forced politeness here. The menu didn't have prices listed but that is a minor detail when you're hungry. I went in craving a gyro and found the most delicious dish I have ever had-a Gyro Bowl with pork. Perfection!!!!”

“Highly recommend making this a must stay place if you’re in the Sonoma area! The resort is so funky, fun and makes you feel special while you visit. The vibe at the Lazeaway Club is awesome. The food is mostly shareable bites, the cocktails were delicious. The DJ on Sunday by the pool left us wanting to stay longer! The best thing about the resort is the staff! Top notch and we can’t wait to visit soon:)”

“The food was delicious regards of the comments and other reviews about frozen food. They are right the sizes are pretty small for what they’re asking for prices and it would be nice if there was a kids menu as well. It was nice that there was somebody that came to offer us ketchup or any other condiments. The atmosphere was fine except it was too loud in there they should lower the music specially when it’s packed in there.”
