“This Japanese restaurant is an absolute delight! The sleek and modern decor creates a stylish and welcoming atmosphere. The menu showcases a wide range of traditional Japanese dishes, all beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. From the fresh sashimi to the perfectly cooked tempura, every bite is a true culinary experience. The attentive and friendly staff add to the overall exceptional dining experience. Highly recommended for anyone craving authentic and delicious Japanese cuisine!“
“A hidden gem in beautiful Saratoga. Authentic high quality Peruvian food. They have a new chef, Chef Jenaro. The ceviche sampler and tiradito are so fresh and delicious. The Cordero was so full of flavor. We also had Pisco sour. Great costumer servide. We'll be going back to try more items from their menu. Highly recommend.“
“It had been over 20 YEARS since I came to La Fondue, but my sisters were coming for a weekend and I decided we needed to go here. My partner doesn't eat cheese, so I cannot come with him, so this was going to be perfect. Spoiler alert - it was PERFECT! The interior has changed a ton in the past 20 years, but it still has great atmosphere, I love that they keep it dark and intimate. Our server was FANTASTIC. She made solid recommendations, shared her knowledge and advice as we were debating on what to get. We are all not huge eaters, so we weren't sure we needed all the courses. So, we opted for salad, cheese fondue and chocolate fondue. We skipped the meat portion completely. We were impressed that the wine list was affordable - probably because the food is on the pricy side. After our salads, which were really good, we had the 4 cheese fondue, which we practically licked the bowl clean. OMG - it was heavenly. This was based on our servers recommendation, and she was spot on right that it was fantastic. We then had the dark chocolate fondue and then we died and went to heaven. The end :)“
“Indulge in an exquisite journey of Indian Speciality cuisine at this remarkable restaurant, where seafood takes center stage unlike anywhere else in the Bay Area. Each dish is meticulously crafted with a symphony of aromatic spices, delivering unparalleled flavors that tantalize the senses. What truly sets this establishment apart is the genuine care and attention from the owners, who personally engage with every patron, eagerly gathering feedback and ensuring each diner's needs are met with utmost satisfaction. The selection of fish here is nothing short of exceptional, bursting with distinct flavors that redefine seafood dining experiences. If only I could award six stars, I would without hesitation. Here's to hoping this gem expands its footprint across the country, sharing its unparalleled cuisine with countless more food enthusiasts.“
“Wow I was blown away! The workers are extremely nice. They gave us potatoes and corn on the house because we mis read what the meal comes with. We insisted they add it to our tab but they refused. That enough says a lot. The sauces are Aahhhmazzzingg. Almost like a glaze like sauce. So much flavor. Everything was fresh and tasteful. Recommend 10000 percent !“
“The Epernay French bistro a wonderful little restaurant situated in downtown Los Gatos. Very good ambience great service . For my entry I order bouillabaisse a wonderful, very tasty fish soup.My wife ordered the Patrol sole fish. Also very flavorful.With that we had a beats salad .Very beautiful experience“
“I visited this gem on a Sunday and it was busier than I anticipated so I had to wait. Not a big deal and wasn't a long time. Once inside, I was able to order right away. I Iooove mariscos and had a hard time making a choice because everything looked so delicious. I was torn between a vasiloco and Aguachiles. I ultimately decided on a Super Chavela, Aguachiles Tricolor, and a roll of sushi. I can't remember specifically what sushi roll I got because the star of the show was definitely the aguachiles!! The Chavela was ice cold and so refreshing. It did a great job of relieving the heat from the aguachiles. The aguachiles were so fresh and flavorful. I've honestly been craving more ever since and will be back soon for that vasiloco!!!“
“I overall love this place. The waiter was very friendly and the service was great. The place is clean and decent. I gave 4 stars for food mainly because I wasn't too happy with my dish, I ordered a Trio Ceviche, and even though it's fresh and tasty, I expected it to be a bit more sour and slightly less salty. It's just my personal taste, I guess. But my friends were very happy with their orders, so I would recommend this place.“
“Food was excellent! From side dishes to sauces, everything tasted fresh and thought out. My only wish is that this place was bigger. We ate family style where we shared all ordered items and there was very little space on the table to accomodate 4 entrés.“
“We are big fans of Home Eat. Takeout here is consistently good as they have their own deli area of take away dishes but you can also dine in. When we dined there, we got the lamb hot pot which was nice to share. The highlights are the fried chicken wings which are so tasty. We haven't had any bad dishes here and they usually have affordable specials per month. They also give some freebie dessert sesame balls which was a nice touch. A solid Chinese place if you're looking for consistently fair priced & good food.“
“came here on a friday evening with my family. Parking was easy the city also gives you a free 90min if you park in the parking garage but we had no problem finding street parking. We were greeted right away and given menus. The selection is really big. They also have a happy hour from 3pm-6pm which was nice. We paid $60 for three meals and drinks (one of which was a beer) portions are really big and food comes out piping hot. The staff is super friendly. Overall my family will be coming back again we enjoyed ourselves so much.“
“OMGoodness !!! Inspired chef in this restaurant. Im naking an adventure dinner stop here for celebrating the Resurrection, first time. Thai seasoned prawns from Australian waters, still in the shell. Smoked salmon-stuffed, bite-size, trout roe-topped mini muffins. Chocolate peanut butter layers with black and white sesame seeds! New flavors for a "new creation" day, with gratitude.“
“Interesting Chinese restaurant. Been there twice. A large selection of dishes - some very tasty, some for everyone. The portions are large (as was noted, many take two dishes for three), the price category is average, the staff is wonderful - friendly and helpful. The restaurant is quite clean. The only thing that didn't please me was the toilet. I wish it was cleaner there.You can take food to go. I was pleased that they thoughtfully provided you with napkins, cutlery, and even fortune cookies.“
“Great atmosphere for a date night! We ordered the salmon tartare, rose tteokbokki, and kfc cauliflower for appetizers. All of them were great but I was most impressed by the tteokbokki!We followed with the short ribs and the basque cheesecake dessert. They were good but the appetizers were more impressive. I was also disappointed that they no longer did the sweet potato chiffon cake :(“
“Maggiano's has become our family's Easter lunch location. Lots of food, fun and excitement for everyone. The family style dining allows everyone to enjoy the family time without the cleaning and cooking. The salmon is fantastic and a must try.“
“Had clam chowder and fish combo plate. Chowder was great as usual and server accommodated our request to add bacon bits to the soup. Fish (pollack) was flaky and tasty; big slice too.Parking: Street parking in front, lot in back. We were there at 4pm on Monday so plenty of spaces in front.“
“Family favorite. Quiet, plenty of parking, excellent, delicious, fresh & pretty food. Sauces are wonderful. We love the ahi appetizers. Kids like being able to choose their sides and sauces. The fish and chips is super crispy and delicious. The grilled fish with the butter sauce is perfect. Testarossa chardonnay is buttery and wonderful. Staff are charming and friendly, service is quick but not rushed.“
“I go here once a week after work. I just picked up some fish and shrimp about 20 minutes ago. Im happy to say it was smacking!!!! Finally someone is not afraid to season their food!!! Im glad I still have some fries left. Im knocking those out after my nap! 5 stars!!!!“
“Clean, festive, and incredibly delicious! I tried the calimari the first time, a quick stop, and was impressed with the clean, lovely restaurant, the service, and the incredibly perfect appetizer. With a little more time today, I decided to try the dine-in experience... even better! The chips and delicious house salsa are accompanied by a generous portion of lime... trust me, a few drops of lime unified and elevated this simple appetizer. Care was obviously taken when choosing this combination, and the chips were hearty and flavorful; possibly stone-ground? The shrimp are fresh, perfectly seasoned, and bursting with decadent flavor. Add the excellent produce and incredible sauce and you have a can't miss experience... the lowly shrimp is elevated to VIP status here, carefully prepared and paired with incredible fresh produce carefully prepared. Hands down the best tacos camerones I have ever had. Run, don't walk, to try this cozy, beloved restaurant just off Saratoga. You will thank me, I promise you!“
“first time at this restaurant amazing food service was impeccable Ken was our server his recommendations were fabulous we had the wedge salad and shrimp appetizer very good then the tomahawk steak was A1 i had the filet mignon spinach and potatoes i would go back for sure .“
“Casual hawaiian eatery located in the Maplewood Plaza. Bright space with wooden chairs and tables inside, and a few tables outside too. Employee took my order at the front counter (standard service), though there's a self-order kiosk as well. Order was ready in 5-10 minutes, no other customers at the time. Got the mini loco moco, and the meat, gravy, mac salad, everything was flavorful and satisfying... the mini size was sufficient for a filling meal. Based on taste, I'd say this would be one of my top 2 hawaiian spots in the south bay.“
“This place is cozy and very cute! They have a nice happy hour with delicious drinks. They may be a bit understaffed but they have nice service (just takes a while). I liked the drink and food options during happy hour. Seems like a fun place to get wine and live music as well.“

“My wife Irene Borz and I stopped for a quick lunch on Sunday and were pleasantly surprised by the fast and attentive service, great tasty food, long list of favorite dishes.Vegetable eggroll was hot, golden and crispy, neither soggy nor burnt. The sauce had perfect balance of sweet and sour.Hot and sour soup was delicious! Be ready to order a large bowl to share, they do not serve individual cups. Mongolian beef was not what we were used to but still very tasty. Perfectly cooked General Tso's shrimps. The portions were large, we had to take almost a half of them to go.Suggestions for improvements. Get rid of annoying hip-hop music, play something calm and sophisticated, or opposite - really energetic like "Bond on Bond", or "Rasputin" by Boney M., or even Rolling Stones. A small vase with a flower on the table can significantly improve the entire feeling.“
“My cousin went to this restaurant few days ago with me. The service and food are both great. This is an American-Japanese fusion restaurant and we just had perfect steak and fish filet, also the waiter is fantastic, very friendly and talkative. I'll go back again for sure!“
“Nice restaurant. The menu has all the typical dishes and more. We just tried a few things on their menu, and everything was good. The wontons in the wor wonton soup was really good. There are lots of veggies in it which I like. We also had the pan-fried pork buns. Crispy bottom. The filling was just ground pork, which was good. We just ordered a couple of vegetable items. Dry string beans and eggplant in garlic sauce. Both were great. The portion size was large, which I appreciate. Lots to take home. I will be going back.“
“Always amazing food and great vibe. My favorite oyster bar on the West Coast. They recently expanded the wine selection, which is awesome. One member of my family is a vegetarian and her options were limited to just salad or sides (they were out of the pasta). So some work is needed on expanding vegetarian options. Would be a perfect score and I love this place, but this time the 2nd round of drinks and bread took forever to get to the table. That oyster bake is very rich and without an accompanying libation just doesn't reach its full potential.“
“Having visited Chef Chu in Los Altos on multiple occasions, I've found the dining experience to be generally pleasant, albeit with room for improvement. The restaurant boasts some delectable dishes and a welcoming atmosphere, but there are notable areas that could be enhanced.Firstly, cleanliness standards need attention, particularly regarding glassware and cutlery. On several visits, I've observed dirty glasses and teacups, suggesting subpar cleaning practices. It's perplexing for a renowned establishment to overlook such basic hygiene, leaving patrons questioning the maintenance standards.Another aspect warranting consideration is the imposition of a limited dining time. Despite patrons wishing to linger and enjoy conversation after finishing their meals, there appears to be a rush to clear tables, even if dishes still contain food. This policy detracts from the relaxed dining experience expected at a high-profile restaurant like Chef Chu.On a positive note, interactions with some waitstaff have been delightful, reflecting the friendly ambiance cultivated by Chef Chu himself. However, consistent efforts are required to ensure all aspects of service align with the restaurant's esteemed reputation.Regarding the cuisine, while some dishes excel, others may fall short of expectations. It seems that char siu might not be the restaurant's forte, highlighting areas where culinary refinement could elevate the overall dining experience.“
“Love that they have mexican music as u eatLove their salsa their jalepenos in vinegar with carrots and cabbage! Love their flan not overly sweet. Love their homemade corn tortillas. Love their shrimp fajitas, love the fact that they work with you . Their chicken mole is good too.Always bustling I n that little place. Good Molcajetes!Wheelchair accessibility: They have a table specified for wheelchair accessibility.“
“The food was great. Servers are so rude. i asked for more lemons, and he rolled his eyes and turned around quickly . No one re filled our waters, and i had to go ask for the bill and take it to the front. I still left a full tip, but he ruined it for us. Not only that, just not plesant“
“There has been nothing in the menu we do not like. The best appetizer is the roti with chicken curry. The Curry is a non spicy coconut milk curry. The best salad is the green tea salad. It has a slight kick even if you drop the jalapeños. The best soup is the samosa soup. For entries there are lots of good options, but I like the fiery dishes. They are sweet and spicy.Think of Burmese food as Indian, Thai, and Chinese fusion. If you like any of those cuisines you can find something you would enjoy on the menu.“
“Great tasting tacos, enchiladas, burritos - and excellent value. Pastor, carne asada, camarones, tripas-yes, yes, yes, yes! Good, fast, friendly service. Parking can be tricky at Chevron, so park at McD's. They're only open until 5pm, so get your taco fix early.“
“This was a second chance for this cute little restaurant. I was craving a chili relleno and because the size varies from restaurant to restaurant- I asked for two. Holy Moly! These were huge AND delicious. Everything about the meal was great. The chips are house made and the salsa is just perfect - not too spicy and plenty of flavor. The beans- just like grandma made them! Arroz was a little 'wet' for me - I like my rice a little more dry but it did have a good flavor. The star of the show was the relleno of course. The batter, the cheese, the chili - so so good!!Well done!!“
“Goodtime bar is all the things an establishment should be. Knowledgeable staff, amazing selection and everything is served with a real sense of pride and love. The small bites and charcuterie is next level perfection, the owner and staff love what they do and greet you with a smile.“

“Five stars for Mama Lupita's! The chips and salsa are always fresh, and the street tacos are flavorful and authentic. And you can't go wrong with their rice and refried beans. Great food, great service - what more could you ask for“
“We were craving a carbonara but we tried plenty of other items on the menu as well. We must have been hungry because we ordered a garlic shrimp and a bruschetta for appetizers. Then a risoto, bolognese, tortellini and a medium pizza Pompeii. For dessert we shared a limoncello tartufo. Service was great. The style was more of an old school Italian, nice sauces, perfectly cooked pastas. The pizza bread was thick kind and the toppings tasty. Our favorites would be the tortellini and bolognese but the rest were equally nice. The dessert was divine and I am usually not a fan of lemon. Bread is served with dinner with butter and a nice dipping sauce.“
“Good tacos, salsa, love their Palomas with fresh orange and lemon pieces. VERY tasty tortilla soup. Also Love there shrimp quesadillas, and there Cochinita Pibil tacos to me they are excellent. Chorizo buger is good too ,environment is loud in the evening.“
“We came to the area wanting to try out Dan Izakaya, but there was a long wait. We walked by this hidden gem and saw the food pictures looked delicious, so we decided to dine-in. There was not a lot of people sitting inside, but there were a lot of people getting take out. We ordered pork soup dumplings, Nanjing salted chicken, mixed fried rice and green onion pancake. It was a lot of carbs and filled us up since we were starving. The nanjing salted chicken was the highlight. There's maybe not a lot of places that do it this well. It is a lukewarm style dish and the flavor of the salt on the tender duck was delicious. The dough from the green onion pancake and XLB had a nice chewy texture, very homestyle-like. I would pass on the fried rice next time. This is a family run restaurant and very cozy vibe. It was inexpensive for the Bay Area and we just spent around $50 for the meal. Would definitely come back and try their other dishes. They have talented chefs and it is a good spot to go to or have take out, to enjoy something similar to a home-cooked meal.“
“Tasty fresh food. Plenty of seat, no waiting.Vegetarian options: Many veggies optionsDietary restrictions: Can order many side dishes separatelyKid-friendliness: Plenty of room baby and kid seatingWheelchair accessibility: Plenty of room. Parking right outside front entrance“

“Steak was cooked great and the bass tasted perfect. Service was great, I got my meal 100% correct, they were very welcoming and did a very nice gesture as it was my girlfriend’s birthday. Definitely will come back.Parking: Parking was kinda hard. The parking lot was full but just across the street there is a parking lot and other store parking areas. You just need to look.“
“The menu at Rincon Sabroso is a masterpiece in itself, showcasing a wide range of dishes that highlight the richness of their cuisine. The attention to detail and the use of fresh, high-quality ingredients were evident in every bite. I had the pleasure of sampling several dishes, and each one was a work of art.“
“I went to this restaurant Saturday night around 6pm without reservations. It was full even bar counter. Recommend to book on weekend. I really liked the sausage! Beef tongue was tender! Shrimp flitters taste very shrimpy so it was ok for me. All dish has a lot of flavor and everything is good with wines!“
“My family favorite spot for sushi. As a Brazilian we loved deep fried rolls and here you can find the best ones.The special rolls are delicious.Shut outTo garlic roll, San Jose, koya roll.The chef always make rice bowls to my daughter and she loves it“
“I worked in San Jose, Ca. And we were going to eat at "ORALE BAJA" which is located on Winchester Blvd. Their green chile burritos were delicious, with gringo and Latin clientele,,, but I had to tell the manager and please wash its two access doors because the frame to open was black with grime that was disgusting, on the second day it was already clean. There are things that fail many Latin businesses in the USA, CLEANLINESS in bathrooms, doors and tables. They would have more clients if they paid more attention to those details. Not all of them are bad, in GILROY, Ca, there is the "SUPER TAQUERIA" on the Monterey hwy. EVERYTHING PERFECT, FOOD, their roast beef or green chile burritos are a delight,,,CLEANLINESS AND SERVICE EXCELLENT LOCAL.Parking: There is enough space.“
“Ordered Thai ice tea, yellow curry and pad kee mau and both were absolutely delicious. This is my 8th or more time coming here and this place beats the best Thai restaurants in the Bay Area. Family owned business and they keep the food bar high. Highly recommended!“
“Such a guilty pleasure! It's in an odd location to buy fried chicken bur the chicken was hit, crispy and moist inside! It's take out only so no comments on the service. Location was a 7/11 type store. The other KKC I've been to was in a gas station. You don't go here for the ambiance or how the place looks. You come here to fill a craving. Food was good. The cornbread was good. I'll pass on the fries next time. I'll come back again when I'm craving fried chicken.“
“Ordered fried fish. Fast service. My fish took time but it was well seasoned with salad and rice. I usually pay more for less quality at other restaurants.Be back soon thank you.Kid-friendliness: Kids menu chicken nuggets and fries and fish“
“Great Taiwanese dim sum location, very delicious.Beef noodle soup ? - the handmade noodles were bouncy (in a good way) and the meat was tender. I liked the bits of tendon on the end.The XLB (A1 and A13) were great.Fairly large seating area, a variety of table sizes. I prefer the tables since the booths didn't look very comfortable. It was like sitting against the wall at 90 degrees (tho not everyone leans back).“
“Food was soo good and comforting. We got the old pot sauerkraut fish soup and coconut lava balls. Both were super yummy and fulfilling and a really good portion size. I didn't expect much but was pleasantly surprised by the coconut lava balls - crispy on the outside and warm and lightly sweet on the inside side, with tapioca in the filling as well. It was really well balanced so it didn't feel heavy even though it was lightly fried. Will definitely be one of my go to desserts. Service was efficient and friendly. But don't expect anything too attentive as it gets pretty busy and they have a lot of customers to serve. Ambiance was a bustling, family-friendly environment. You can tell that they get a lot of regulars and people come here to eat good food. A bit of a hidden gem. Parking - there is a small parking lot but it can get filled up pretty quickly. I circled around and was lucky enough to catch someone leaving and take their spot, but can be a bit of a struggle.“
“It is a good quiet place to have a good time and eat comfortably with the family.Parking: There are several businesses around there but the restaurant is good and they serve you well, good service, you listen to music and the mariachis come there to have a good time with the family, it's very good.Kid-friendliness: For children and family it is very good“
“Nice menu focused on seafood, with a large choice of starters, pasta, panned fish, tacos, lobsters, shrimps, etc. Everything was good (nothing fantastic either), including the desserts. Excellent service. Spacious and comfortable room inside, a few tables outside in the center of Saratoga.“
