Restaurants in Ukiah

“All of it. Everything. The food. the appetizers..the drinks...the waiter, Sebastián. Easily one of the best meals I've ever eaten. WILL BE BACK. THANKS, Oco Time”

“I had their Philly cheese steak sandwich the other day and it was amazing 🤤”

“Quiet and small, this restaurant is great. Ramen was very good especially for being under 20$. Spider roll was also delicious and reasonably priced. Miso soup was very good. Definitely worth visiting!”

“I’ve been here quite times and the service has always been really good. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is great and the staff is great. I just wish they had their Chorizo Mussels again. Those were TO DIE FOR. They were SOOOOO good. Hopefully they’ll have them again one day, but everything else we’ve had when we were there was great. I recommend it.”

“the food is excellent, the service is good, the people are great, the menu is interesting and there's a wonderful outdoor area with shade where you can bring your dog and hangout. what more could you ask for?”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Food that makes every tastebud grow wild for just one more bite despite how tight your pants are after the meal. The food will leave you full and still wanting more... DO NOT MISS YOUR CHANCE to try this place. Absolutely a pleasurable place for dining or eating out here in Ukiah...”

“Great food. Live music was wonderful as well. Attentive service. Quick checkout.”

“We were in town for business and decided to give Patrona a try. We found every aspect of our experience there to be exceptional. We both had the rib eye steak, but added on a couple appetizers, including the focaccia and the broccoli soup. So tasty! The steaks were tender and very flavorful - perfectly prepared, in our opinion, and for fun we ordered all three of their steak condiments. Really, everything was fantastic, and I have to include the service as well as she provided several helpful suggestions when ordering (including the tamarind margarita special!). Really, it was a wonderful experience all around. Highly recommended.”

“My daughter’s birthday was coming up so I called to find out about getting a cake. Erica was extremely friendly and helpful and went above and beyond to make sure we got the perfect cake. It was more expensive than other places but was worth it! Beautifully decorated and tasted better than any other cake I’ve had. Thank you so much, Erica, for making my daughter’s special day extra special”

“Best Mexican restaurant around, by far. I love this place to unwind and give my tongue a delight. Please check this place out! You will not regret it.Pinche de Zipolite”

“I have been here several times and the food never disappoints. The sushi is well made and flavorful, the fried foods are great, and the soup is amazing.”

“Some of the best burgers I town. On State St in the former China Chef location across from the Palace Hotel.”

“I just wanted to say: Thank you for a nice lunch on Veterans day. A very nice lady dressed up patriotically, came up, and gave me a flag, and talked all about how she loved her soldiers.

I was so glad to be greeted by her serves a nice meal.

The golden touch was that ambassador reaching out table by table.

I went to Montgomery Woods post soaking in the cold, damp, ancient forest that has been around since the Romans.

Like stepping back in time when a Republic mattered”

“This is hands-down the best coffee shop in town! They roast their own beans in-house, which you can truly taste in the quality and depth of their brews. I haven’t tried much of the menu yet, but the nitro cold brew is phenomenal—smooth with a rich hazelnut flavor and a clean finish. I especially appreciate that they serve it without ice, which keeps the flavor intact (unlike other places that water it down).

The prices are reasonable, especially considering the quality. I also tried the chocolate chip cookie, which was $4—but honestly worth every penny. It was fresh, soft, and generously sized.

The shop itself has a welcoming, cozy vibe with plenty of indoor seating—perfect for conversation, studying, or working on a laptop (free Wi-Fi included). It’s also proudly a safe LGBTQ+ space, which makes it even more inviting and inclusive.

There’s also some outdoor seating for people-watching, and about seven parking spots in the lot plus street parking right out front, which is super convenient. My only gripe is that it can get a little messy. I wiped down my own table and there was food on the floor.

If you’re looking for great coffee, a comfortable atmosphere, and good vibes, this place is a gem. I’ll definitely be back to try more!”

“Always an enjoyable meal!”

“Best authentic Greek food within miles! Sooo good! 💯👍🏻”

“The food is delicious and ingredients grown on campus. I visted over 10 years ago and it's exactly the same. Just as delicious. Just as peaceful. The people who work here just as kind. Most dishes can be made gluten free which is great for celiacs!!!”

“Ukiah has a lot of options for Mexican food—nothing stellar. So I thought what the heck let’s try this cute clean spot by the post office. I had a busy day and had to grab lunch on the go. We were completely blown away by the service and food. Amazing food—-the real deal Mexican. Great hospitality-the owner was so kind!! We will be back Mary. Muchas gracias. Highly recommend the burritos and the tacos !!”

“Food is delicious. The mulitas and California Burrito me and the homie get are always good, tasty and worth it. Definitely Good Quality of food and amount is definitely worth the price.

The service is amazing as well. Owner is friendly and engage with customers.

Atmosphere is chill. Outside seating but it's always good.”

“delicious food and great service everytime!”

“Name changed from “Jonny’s” to El Baho Fino”. Also some of the attached photos form previous reviews is from a place across the street from this restaurant (showing a redwood tree and building)

I stopped by this taco shop and ordered four tacos—two asada and two al pastor. The asada tacos were solid, with flavorful meat topped with fresh onions, cilantro, and green salsa. They had a nice char, though they were a bit oily. Still, I enjoyed them overall.

The al pastor tacos were disappointing—the meat was dry, bland, and notably missing pineapple, which is usually a key ingredient in traditional al pastor. Like the asada, they were topped with onion, cilantro, and salsa, but just didn’t hit the mark flavor-wise.

The tortillas had a decent chew, but didn’t seem homemade—they were very uniform, which made them feel store-bought. The plate came with grilled onions, radish slices, and limes, which were a nice touch. I wished I could have gotten a grilled jalapeño—I saw them in other reviews and was hoping it came standard, but no luck this time.

Pricing was a bit steep at $16 for four tacos, with no sides or drinks included. Definitely more in line with L.A. taco stand pricing, which feels high for what was offered. That said, they do have Taco Wednesdays for $2/taco, which seems like a much better value and may be the best day to go.

The guy wearing a blue car wash polo who took my order and made the food was incredibly kind and welcoming. He was fast, attentive, and seemed to take pride in his work, which made the experience more enjoyable.

Seating is limited to three small outdoor tables near the ordering window, shaded by a tree. It’s a casual setup, but it can get a bit loud due to nearby street traffic.

Overall, a mixed experience: friendly service and decent asada, but the al pastor and pricing didn’t live up to expectations. I might return on a Wednesday to give it another shot—hopefully with a grilled jalapeño next time.”

“they have good burritos i give them 10 out of 10 rating on there food 💕”

“Can't believe we wait this long to try this place, we were here for breakfast ordered Chilaquiles, huevos rancheros and kiddo had tacos food are delicious and very authentic the service is superb. The price was super reasonable compared to local eatery in this area so far I had great experience dining here and definitely be back again soon.”

“We had a road a trip from Bay Area to Oregon. This was our breakfast stop. Amazing staff and it is such a warm cozy atmosphere! Definitely coming back!”

“Well after McDonald's said decided to be hypocrites I decided to head to in and out burger what a difference just going across the street hot burgers fresh fries (Fresh as in fresh cut not frozen ).

“Some of the best juice I’ve had. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for quality with great service.”

“Best donuts in Mendo county! And best service as well! Very friendly! Gives me free donuts with my purchase almost all of the time! The only thing I think could use some work is the space itself, definitely needs an update and some cleaning!”

“Stopped here for lunch while traveling through Ukiah. Wanted to support a local business. My husband had a burger and I had a patty melt. First time I have had a patty melt on sour dough bread. Both were excellent! Made fresh while I waited. Fries were also excellent. Although we had take-out the restaurant seemed very clean. Will definitely stop here again”

“So fab!! made a stop off for a cappa with our Aussie friends and everyone LOVED air! Thanks for the cappa Crepas!!!ps. Crepes were great and tiramisu cake was super duper times ten!!”

“Only problem is after. Using the bathroom is a biohazard and should be treated as such.

All jokes aside this place has fantastic food out door dining and staff that are beyond nice. They go out of their way to help you”

“Delicious, nutritious, and it's always a pleasure to spend some time chatting with Luz, enjoying the comfortable chairs, and drinking a smoothie so full of protein ?”

“My husband had the vegan Rueben and I had the mushroom spud. Both were very good. My only critique would be it needed to be warmer. (The food)
Their restrooms were in a separate room so you needed a code and they were the cleanest restrooms I’ve ever been in.”

“great time good breakfast 😋”

“When I go into The Bakery Outlet, it feels like Heaven with all the delicious snack cakes and unbelievable prices. The woman that works there is so helpful and wonderful, she's such a super employee, I'd wish I could tell her she's a Superwoman!!!”

“I travel to Ukiah for work on a regular basis, have tried the food up and down the city and area. This spot has DELICIOUS tacos. I put a lot of weight on rice and beans and theirs is some of the best I've had, near par with el paso/border town Texas.VERY unassuming looking food truck with a very confusing name.A mandatory stop for me on every trip here.”

“Huge variety of smoothies, both healthy and indulgent. Haven't come close to trying them all yet. Some food options too. Friendly service. Location is a bit off the beaten path. Prices may seem high but their sizes are big!”

“4.5 Stars. One of the best bars in town, hands down! I've been coming to this place for almost 20 years. Best vibe. They used to have a free shuttle but it got shut down. Def should bring that back! Biggest draught beer selection in town. Love it when they have events, which they should have more of. Now with the delicious restaurant there too, it's pretty great. Only thing I absolutely dislike is that they brought that stupid punching game in. It makes bros get extra Chaddy on busy nights. That's just a general rule that has never let me down, so I avoid places on busy nights that have that game, no matter where I go.”

“My teen and I got a sushi roll, spicy edamame, fried soft shelled crab, and the sashimi combo. It was all perfect and came out quickly. The staff were super friendly, too. My only issue was that the dining room was very cold when we were there.”

“Good pizza and crazy bread. It's been a while since I have eaten at a little Caesars. I can't say I was shocked, being everything is so pricey. The prices have doubled. But very good food.”

“Delicious authentic Mexican food 🌮🌮🌮🌮 if you can make a good chicken taco, you can make them all!! Their pollo is grilled and tender 👌 offers all the meats 👌🌮 picnic tables, a sink with soap to wash your hands, restroom across the street. Yummy

Vegetarian options: The veggie burrito nachos tacos tostadas quesadillas”

“I’m not sure why there’s not more reviews for this place! I came by this morning and ordered my drink and completely forgot to order a decaf-as I can’t have caffeine. I came back in the line to order a new one and tried to pay and tip and she insisted on remaking it for me for free (even though it was entirely my mistake). The ladies who work there are very sweet and make one hell of a coffee! 10/10 would recommend! If you haven’t come by and you live in Ukiah-you should definitely give this place a try! ❤️”

“I had my order delivered. The pizza was hot and the Italian salad was chilled. Actually, the best green salad I've had in a long time.
I asked for extra crispy on the New York-style cheese pizza. Great little dinner (leftovers!) for a Friday night when I didn't want to cook.”

“Our family with 5 of us visited to Ukiah, CA early this month Sept 2023. We dined in The Lotus restaurant and all of us were pleased with the friendly & great service, so delicious foods and awesome Sushi which we did order. The total cost was not expensive at all, only almost $100 for about 5 dishes & 2 Sushi orders. The restaurant is not a big place, but it looks very nice, clean and cozy environment. We strongly & highly recommend this place to everyone.”

“They have delicious foods and drinks. Ordering through the app is really easy.

This Starbucks is really nice inside. It has nice paintings on the wall and lots of seating. They have a trash can, recyling bin, and compost bin all next to each other with signs saying what goes where. Also, there are napkin dispensers.

The outside eating area is nice as well, it has a little fence and some tables with chairs and umbrellas.

Vegetarian options: some of the sandwiches, egg bites, and other foods are vegetarian.

Dietary restrictions: You can choose to have nondairy/fake milk instead of real milk in your drink. They have some gluten-free foods, but there may be cross-contamination.

Parking: this Starbucks has parking spots in front of it.”

“They have delicious food & drinks, friendly service, nice seating and background music, and nice plates and cups if you order inside and eat in. The only decide is it is expensive (as Starbucks always is, lol). If you use the app, you can get rewards points, which is nice.

Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian sandwiches, egg bites, and potato bites. They have some vegan stuff as well.

Dietary restrictions: They have various nondairy milk options for the drinks. They also have gluten-free foods, such as the egg bites and potato bites.

Parking: This starbucks is in a little strip mall with its own parking lot, so there is plenty of parking.”

“Great service,good prices and good atmosphere.”

“Just out boppin around with Hobo John and his little bed roll, OneEyed Mary, and she blasts out something about this joint called Lalo's and how good the chicken tacos are. Well, I can never just walk by a Mexican restaurant or taco truck without at least trying 3 tacos! I see it as a civic responsibility to help the small family owned businesses succeed.
And you know what...OneEyed Mary was right..those chicken tacos were Amazing! 5 stars ☆☆☆☆☆”

“Great food! Their Impossible Whopper is indistinguishable from their beef Whopper!”

“Love there wet burritos, none better!”

“Have been there a couple of times. It has been good. The last time they had run out of a certain type of meat and we had to wait 15 to 20 minutes for them to make more. Will definitely go back.”

“The service is improving. It's rare they mess up my meals. It's happened one time since I started coming here. All the am people are super nice as well”
