“The kindest owners and chefs ever, used to go here as a freshman in college and shared stories with the eager owners. They'd create such a welcoming space and on-the-house freebies like desserts. Its such an underrated gem, hole in the wall spot. Please support local families! They'll feed you not only amazing food, but love too.”

“Ok so I'm guessing if you go early before the dinner rush on Fridays you'll get better service, also it seems they have music on Thursday's so maybe consider that if you're able to. The upstairs terrace is the place to be. I really enjoyed the atmosphere especially the vault bar and the outside balcony lounge/terrace. The food is pricey but its the ambiance your paying for. Oh I also recommend the big bloody!”

“We recently had a birthday party for my son here. It went so smoothly. The staff was completely on top of our needs. They even stored our pizza and ice cream cake leftovers for us while we went next door for a movie! I highly recommend this restaurant not only for the stellar service, but the food is also incredible. Can't wait to come back for more!”

“I kept wondering if Mrs Craig Vanessa was really an expert trader like they say, that she is not a scammer like the others, then I contacted her and I was shocked and amazed that with just $1,500 I invested, Mrs. Craig Vanessa helped me managed my account and after 7 Days of trading, I made my first withdrawal of $16,700. I'm here to testify the good work of her after she made a good profit for me in my investment. She's reachable via WhatsApp with the number on her Facebook: Mrs Craig Vanessa”

“Armitage wines offers a truly outstanding experience. It is not just the great history of the estate which was formerly owned by Alfred Hitchcock, but the delicious and high quality wines that you can sample in this amazing setting. The current owners are very welcoming and attentive and especially dedicated to creating a great tasting experience for their guests. We spend a whole afternoon trying the different wines and I have to say it is rarely the case that I am as pleased with the sampling as I was at Armitage.Next to this, the vineyard offers amazing views. Tucked away in the redwood trees you can see for miles while overlooking the grapes from the top of the estate. When the sun sets in the afternoon, it makes for an amazing play of light and shadows.We truly loved visiting this place and will definitely come back. It is well worth a trip.If this does not convince you, please see the attached photos. I am in no way affiliated to this place, but was simply amazed by our afternoon here.”

“So dang good! We got the red curry and the fried rice, both GF and so so good. The curry was the perfect balance of spicy and sweet. And you can get items from the place next door, which is very convenient for kids. We got them a pizza and got to have Cambodian food for us!”

“I love eating at Auntie Mame’s. Great food. Love the servers and owner. It is my favorite go to diner. Georgia Ireland”

“The hamachi I had to night was incredible!!!!! Thank you!!!”

“Hubby and I recently discovered this canton restaurant here in Scotts valley. They use no MSG at all! The food is delicious! Its fresh and full of flavor. The restaurant is clean and beautifully decorated oriental style. The service is wonderful! Every time we pop in to eat, they Always have customers. Let's support local. Im telling my neighbors and church friends about this place! I would highly recommend their wonderful ton soup. Its nourishing, fresh veggies and hot! Perfect for winter. Their ginger beef is perfectly marinated. The pineapple rice is delicious. Their potstickers are perfect! Make it a date and enjoy. Actually with valentine's coming up, it would be the perfect date night 🥰”

“I’ve been coming here since 2003 when I was in high school. I now live in Atlanta. However, this is the ONLY place I make sure to eat when I come back to the Santa Cruz area.”

“Got onion with jalapeño cream cheese and garlic bagel with veggie cream cheese. Mostly good but had large cheddar cheese chunks in the the jalapeno cream cheese for some reason. Felt weird , threw them away. we like the cream cheese bit dense, it was liquidy. Also it would be nice if they cut the bagels in half, easier to eat em.”

“For Scotts Valley and Santa Cruz this place is super legit. I got the soon tofu stew and it was accurate and very good. I’m comparing this restaurant with the Korean restaurants in Sunnyvale and this place holds up well. The kimchi was trash though so it would be nice if they got better quality.”

“Everything. It’s perfect. The redwood sandwich co. That’s what’s on my mind Facebook. There’s a few places in town I will always visit. If you haven’t been here yet, you’re not trying hard enough. You’re hungry, you need a sandwich that feels like a sandwich. You don’t want one of those wimpy limp sandwiches that you find for $5. You know the ones, with the iceberg lettuce and the bread that tastes like nothing. You want a MANS SANDWICH. You’re not walking around on your twinkly toes. You might wear a tutu, but that doesn’t define your food desire. That’s right. You want mouth feel. You want to put it in your mouth and not talk for at least 10 minutes. You want food that makes everything stop and take pause. You’re grown, but this sandwich makes your hands look like a child. You’re ready to eat. And eat you shall. That tri tip sandwich is dripping with goodness. It’s a feast between two slices of bread. The thanksgiving sandwich makes you wish you spent your holiday here. Pair that with their soups that don’t quit, or their Mac and cheese that stops the world, you’re in food coma and all you’ve done is smell it. If you’re lucky, you’ll make it there when they have a pork belly special. It will turn you. You won’t know what hit you. But you’ll spend the month dreaming about that sandwich. You think you took a nap, but really, you closed your eyes to re live the feel of that sandwich in your hands, and no one had to know that you woke up eating your pillow. It’s ok, your secret is safe with me. Treat yourself. You deserve this.”

“Love their pizzas!! A very nice assortment. 😋”

“People who work here are very nice and helpful. The guy who took my order has exceptional customer service - something you miss to see these days.
Drinks were great and so was the food. Recommended”

“I only get takeout from the buffet here and it is perfectly good. I think it's on par or better than Panda, so I like it! And a good price too! Just under $15 for a two-item meal + rice or chow mein. The servings are big, so I was able to eat that $15 meal over two meals. Service was great! They are nice people :)”

“This is one of my favorite branches and has become my morning office. The people are GREAT starting with the manager Grace. Add live music on some weekend mornings and you’ve got all you need!”

“The overall customer service and food quality is absolutely incredible! They take food allergies/intolerances very seriously and with a gracious attitude. I HIGHLY recommend this location especially in Santa Cruz County.”

“Food here is always a delight”

“it's the best ice cream i have ever had. evan the flavers they have had that doesent sound like it would be good .. is real good. and they give you samples if you want to try a flavor before you buy it.”

“The people who work there are awesome! There’s always a service with a smile!”

“I walked in, but needed to use the App to receive my Bday coupon. I set up the App, ordered my BBQ crustless pizza, then the employee confirmed my order was received. He made sure the order was correct, then he prepped my order. Very quick, and very tasty!”

“Awesome people and pizza 😍”

“The food was very good. My 8 and 14 year old ate until they had their fill. They serve family style so they are big portions for a family of 4-6 to share. We got a rice dish, noodle dish and 2 chicken with vegetables dishes but different flavors. We had to take some home.

Parking: It is behind the restaurant.

Kid-friendliness: The waiter is friendly and patient. The cook is also friendly, especially when my son greeted her. Serve family style dishes.”

“I just love when I go into a restaurant and find that there are several vegan options to choose from. That is the case at this place and it's a fun problem to figure out which entree most appeals. I ended up getting the Beyond Steak tacos and my friend went with the Soyrizo tacos. Both were good with three generous tacos and some chips and pico de gallo. Our server was friendly and attentive. As another reviewer commented, you can see the large "Laughing Monk" sign if you're coming up Scotts Valley Dr. from Highway 17 but from the front of the restaurant parking lot it's not visible. The entrance is along the right side of the building near The Penny Ice Creamery (which has vegan sorbet if you need dessert). I'll be back!”

“The food was absolutely delicious. I sat at the bar and my conversations with Subash and his staff was very nice. Definitely recommend this restaurant!”

“Delfina served us in the drive thru and gave us first class customer service with a smile , eye contact and invited us back . The food was fresh (hot) and actually looked like the pictures advertised.My husband and I couldn’t help but drive back thru the drive thru to Thank her and the cooks for their first class service. Best service we’ve had in a long time .”

“The best Mexican food ever! 🙌”
