New American Restaurants near Sunnyvale, CA

“Very nice casual restaurant, that I visited while in Sunnyvale. I had the salmon, roasted potatoes, and asparagus. My food tasted fresh and flavorful. The atmosphere was clean and well lit. We will definitely come back when we are in town again.“

“The G.O.A.T. of Silicon Valley Cuisine?
In my 30+ years of living and dining in Silicon Valley, I’ve sometimes wondered if, beyond “California Cuisine,” there is also a “Silicon Valley Cuisine.” I think this may be the best of it.

After a few visits to Valley Goat, I think this might be the greatest of all time places that reflects what I love about Valley Food. The East Asia, South Asia, and Latin America influences are evident. So are reminders of the Alice Waters farm-to-table paradigm. The sharable dining possibilities also seem part of Valley Cuisine culture. All of this is nestled in a little green oasis created by the Tree House Hotel and Beer Garden near campuses of Google, Meta, and Juniper. Everything we’ve shared there has been novel yet also familiar while appearing and tasting simply amazing. It feels like every dish is very much what I imagine as phenomenal and resonant Valley Cuisine.“

“Best Deep Dish Pizza in Sunnyvale!! 12/10, +2 for the fresh ricotta and hot honey add ins, beers on tap, great new layout (a tasteful edit from previous Slice of NY) with 4 TV's (all with the world cup soccer games on!) and pizza slices available. Would love some more craft beers like Bare Bottle and Humble Sea, but that is me asking for my favorites.... this SOH location is next level for pizza!! Also, the manager is a great guy who is family to the founder helping to expand SOH. Wishing continued success! So happy we have a SOH in Sunnyvale.“

“I was initially worried with the reviews. Nonetheless I tried being too tired to travel out. To my surprise, day 1 - having the Pork Chop (it was fabulous) left me coming back for dinner on day 2 - I had their salmon (also perfectly done!) their service was wonderful as well thanks to Daniella. Excellent service. Ambience wise it is great.

Looking to be back. Keep it up“

“Loved it!! It’s a great place for drinks and snacks!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I absolutely love Urban Plates! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere that made me feel right at home. The menu offers a fantastic variety of fresh, seasonal ingredients, and every dish I’ve tried has been bursting with flavor. What really sets Urban Plates apart is their commitment to quality. The salads are vibrant and crisp, the proteins are cooked to perfection, and I can always count on their delicious, house-made sauces to elevate each meal. The option to customize my plate allows me to explore new flavors while sticking to my dietary preferences. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, always ready to recommend their favorites. Plus, the commitment to sustainability and using local ingredients makes me feel good about my choices. Whether I’m dining in or grabbing a meal to go, Urban Plates never disappoints. It’s truly one of my favorite spots to enjoy fresh, wholesome food!“

“An exceptional culinary experience at Protégé in Palo Alto. Every dish showcased masterful technique and impeccable flavors. The A5 Japanese Wagyu Ribeye was perfectly marbled and melted effortlessly, while the Crab and Caviar delivered a luxurious balance of brine and sweetness. The lobster toast was crisp, buttery, and indulgent, and the Black Bass—flawless in execution—was the best I’ve encountered. The Ricotta Dumplings , delicate yet deeply flavorful, rounded out an unforgettable meal. The shigoku oysters with whipped ponzu were indescribably fresh and flavorful. The sunflower Caesar, with its preserved tomato jam, was a unique and unforgettable twist on a classic. As for the brick chicken that we took to go, it was so delicious that it barely made it home before being devoured. The experience was elevated even further by the outstanding service—every person was kind, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to creating a memorable evening. A true showcase of precision, creativity, and hospitality“

“Lovely staff in a non-stuffy little restaurant. We ate outside, in front off the street. The tasting menu was excellent - inventive, delicious. The food came a bit fast, but as soon as I asked them to slow it down, pacing was excellent. Highly recommend. I would go back for that short rib yakiniku, the crispy pork belly, the char grilled sugar snap peas, and the bread!“

“We have dine here a couple of time now and we will come back again soon, I love the atmosphere, the live music add a pizzas to the restaurant. The chef creat different interesting dishes and fresh incredient each time we visit. They have an amazing long wine list which is always fun to look around“

“My friend and I had visited Boltiful Kitchen for lunch. I had Vegan Miso Tofu Bowl. As someone who loves veggies and is plant based, this is hands-down an amazing bowl to order. The miso glazed tofu, the veggies and sweet potatoes noodles are delicious 😋🤤. Another highlight is that the bowl speaks for itself with tofu and doesn't try to mimic any mock meat options which is a win.
The staff are also very polite and our overall experience was amazing. I am coming back again with more friends!! I just wish Boltiful would expand to more places“

“There is usually a split of either good food or good drinks when it comes to happy hour, this place comes close to both good. We were seated promptly at a booth since it was after 4pm on a Monday. Daisy helped us with drinks and appetizers. We chose poke nachos, chicken wrap with lettuce, hummus with bread, all meat pizza, poke nachos and calamari. The drinks arrived and the appetizers quickly followed. The calamari came with a red sauce and a slightly spiced tartar sauce, good crisp. The hummus, a friend's go-to, had a nutty flavor. The poke nachos had a crisp fried wonton wrap, I was hoping for larger cubes but the flavor was nice (not shoyu) and good texture. The pizza was great, the proper thin crust with meat and cheese. A friend chose the chicken lettuce wrap with 2 sauces, peanut sauce and Thai sweet and sour. The chicken and peanut sauce had a bit too much of ginger so she did not like it as much. The chicken was a little dry. The beer is what our friend likes and he tries a different one when he visits. Serving size was generous, service was nice and efficient. Parking at Santana Row can get crowded. We parked in garage off Winchester Blvd after Tatum. It is free for the first 2 hours.“

“Great service and lovely ambiance. The menu offers a nice mix of salads, meats, and fish, and the staff were genuinely pleasant.“

“Delicious food, fabulous staff. A must try“

“Es un restaurante muy bonito, sus platos muy bien servidos y deliciosos! Recomiendo a Local Union siempre, excelente servicio el de Guadalupe y Estefany!“

“Great food, friendly atmosphere, clean and prompt service.“

“Creatively ambitious and high level cuisine, using Korean flavors and spices to add interest and individuality to California ingredients. Example: wagyu tartare with uni aioli, among other things, that was rich and fresh and unexpected, all at the same time. Clever attention to textures and variety of textures within each course. A reasonably priced tasting menu or, at four courses, you could call it a prix fixe. Limited but good wine selection, seemingly carefully curated. Very cool ambiance inside and friendly, graceful service.“

“Celebrated our anniversary and everything was perfect! Great food and excellent service!!!“

“Love the environment, music, food, wine and staff….❤️❤️“

“Nice place, big portions (come hungry!), creative fusion food.“

“My wife & I had Sekoya's 3-yr anniversary prix fixe meal. Everything just plain delicious. The Bavette steak was killer, the burrata starter excellent. My wife loved her yellowtail starter and halibut main. The butterscotch and watermelon desserts were delish. I brought a bottle and was treated to excellent wine service, beautiful glassware, with a (by today's standards) very reasonable $35 corkage. Sekoya is now on our radar, and we'll be back!“

“Had dinner with some friends, had the crepes, amazing stuff. The staff is the best, friendly, beautiful very efficient. highly recommended...“

“The chicken salads here are huge, with a surprisingly generous portion of meat. I've eaten a lot of chicken salads at other counter service places in the area, and The Stand puts them all to shame. The dressing seemed like it was made fresh, not from a bottle. Will come back to try something else.“

“Very attentive staff and delicious food“

“Fantastic Cocktails, Vibrant Small Plates, and Great Group Vibe!
We had an outstanding meal at Horsefeather in Town & Country Village near Stanford! The space is sleek, modern, and light-filled, making it a perfect spot to gather with friends for lunch or evening drinks and bites.
Here is a breakdown of what we tried:
Deviled Eggs: A must-order appetizer! Topped with tobiko/caviar, crispy shallots, and chives, they are incredibly creamy with a nice pop of texture and savoriness.
Korean Fried Chicken Wings: Crispy, perfectly glazed in a sweet-and-spicy sauce, and topped with sesame seeds. Served with a cool dipping sauce that balances out the heat wonderfully.
Tacos (Carnitas & Shrimp): Both taco options were served on warm, fresh corn tortillas topped with pickled red onions, cilantro, and served with a side of slaw and spicy salsa. High quality and super flavorful.
Roasted Cauliflower: A gorgeous mixture of purple and white cauliflower tossed with a rich green pesto and drizzle of spicy red pepper sauce. A phenomenal vegetable side with a great kick.
French Fries: Golden, crispy, well-seasoned, and served in a massive bowl—perfect for sharing across the entire table.
Overall: Excellent presentation, generous portions for small plates, and a super welcoming atmosphere. Whether you’re stopping by for creative craft cocktails or grabbing a bite with a group near campus, Horsefeather delivers. Highly recommended!“

“I cannot say enough about this restaurant! GOGA is the place to go for fresh, healthy, delicious food! Definitely Saratoga’s hidden gem! It is behind the UPS building with plenty of parking. The staff is wonderful, very accommodating & Chef Brads presentation & deliciousness of his fabulous meals is always 5 stars! We will be going back this Sunday for brunch with family from out of town that can’t wait to try it! Go GOGA!!“

“Great service, food was awesome!! Thank you Jasmine, (our waitress) was Friendly, and helpful.“

“Truly, I do not enjoy writing bad reviews but based on what happened tonight it is warranted. My two allergy kids wanted some pizza, it needs to be gluten free and dairy free. We called them we spoke to two different people at the restaurant they said that's totally okay, we will charge you 18, we're going to do the kids pizza for the allergies needed. When we drove all the way to pick it up for dinner ,they said sorry we tried to call you and tell you but we're going to charge you $50 because we have to make it large. First of all I checked my phone no one called us. They called someone else. Which really shows how unorganized the restaurant is. And second of all they had absolutely no remorse. Espically the manager. In the end I refuse to pay for something that I was lied to. And I feel like they should have still honored the price due to what they told us. It's not my fault that nobody knows what to do there. And it's affecting the customers. I hope the owner and others reads this and teaches his staff to not punish the customer for their own negligence. It just makes me think what else do they do? this is the los gatos location.“

“Our waiter was amiable, knowledgeable and very prompt with our orders. I started out with a martini which was made perfectly to my specifications. Portions were reasonable. My husband and I shared the seafood pasta and the pork chop with peaches...delectable!“

“I had the most amazing experience and it was my first time. I will definitely go back before l leave San Francisco.“

“The environment is very nice and food is 😋😋😋“

“We had a lovely lunch. Food and service were excellent!“

“Steins is a great restaurant with a wide beer selection! They also sponsor the annual MV Oktoberfest!“

“Always try to go at least once when I’m in Old El Palo Alto.“

“Loma Brewing was an awesome place to have our party. Their food was delicious, the space was fabulous and the staff were incredible. They were so easy to work with and made the planning and day of so easeful. I felt so supported. I highly recommend them for events and also just a night out!

Vegetarian options: Plenty of veggie options“

“Great drinks!!! Hip place with great vibes. Would definitely rely come again!!“

“Awesome ambience Nice place to hangout Cocktails were too gud“

“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.“

“Good food and like the 🎤Karaoke on Saturdays 👍“

“Our family’s all time favorite restaurant in the Bay Area… genuinely good foods worth of every penny 👍🏻“

“Great food. I loved the pancit, but they were out of Adobe.“

“Awesome! Good food and service I will be back!!“

“Great service, fresh food. Highly recommended.“

“They have all the product just like your in Paris shopping“

“I had the Chicken Mix Bowl with the smokey chipotle sauce and it was AMAZING. I am allergic to dairy, gluten, and soy so being able to not worry about that with my meal was so nice. I also have ARFID (avoidant restrictive food intake disorder) and have a really hard with certain textures, usually chicken is really hard for me to eat but I had no issues with this chicken!! The texture was consistent all the way through, pulled apart really easily, and was just overall amazing. The portions are really good and the food is very flavorful. I'm really happy with my meal. Thank you guys for the amazing food. I highly recommend this place!!“

“We sat up stairs and the atmosphere, food, beer and service were great!!!“

“this post is simply in regards to the ambience and what I can see from those eating on their back patio and the live music, WOW! it's just an incredible vibe, my friend lives above the restaurant, and after this I'm gonna make it a point to have dinner here on a weekend soon.“
