Restaurants in Ukiah

“The best restaurant in Ukiah for Ramen. Thanks to chef Aeden & Chaz. Both are very kind and professional. highly recommend.(:”

“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 place shines in having strong menu of high quality dishes made with high quality ingredients. The food is made better knowing the hand crafted preparation required to create it.

What it lacks in ambiance, it more than makes up in quality home cooked meals.”

“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”

“We loved our food.

Normally places calling themselves authentic are anything but...but my Mexican family members said this was as close as you could get without buying the ingredients in Mexico.”

“This was the best food I’ve ever had in my entire life! I will for sure be back for more! Awesome service and amazing food! Delicious!!!”

“My husband and I live in Windsor, but came to Ukiah to meet his mom for a bite to eat. We were SO pleasantly surprised to find such a hidden gem with such delicious and masterfully presented meals, drinks with so much care and attention put into them, as well as service that was attentive and educating. Well worth the 55 minute drive to experience again, and we will definitely be making a repeat visit soon!”

“New favorite place!! So far I have only tried their chicken mole enchiladas, but it was sooooooo good! Salsa, salad, guacamole, and crème were all included and fresh! Also…. Hands down the best tortilla chips I have had since moving to Ukiah from Fresno.”

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

“I love Mama’s! Today I went in to grab one of their amazing breadsticks and they didn’t have any. Instead I grabbed a maple pecan scone and it was the best scone I’ve ever had. I’m in scone heaven.”

“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”

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

“Warm chips/frijolito/salsa start, the carne Asada plate was absolutely perfect, and the service was fast and happy! I hope nobody finds out about this place because then it won't be just mine!!”

“Great service,good prices and good atmosphere.”

“great time good breakfast 😋”

“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.”

“Also i feel that the Waitress at the Burlington NJ location is kind and welcoming to me & my husband who are older. We appreciate how she talks about new items to try. I will definitely request her area to sit since she is full time waitress”

“Came here on an extremely busy Sunday morning and was greeted with smile but the hostess Lola and got amazing service while sitting at the bar with Joseph! The manager was also very present and friendly!”

“I have not had authentic Greek food in a long, long time, and this is just absolutely the best! The portions are huge (I had the gyro greek salad, and it will last me for two days, at least lol); the gyro meat is sliced so thin, and it melts in your mouth; the feta has an almost ricotta-like texture, and it was divine; the olives are delicious; and the tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions are crisp. I cannot wait to go back and try more of their menu. The owners are a lovely couple, and I’m looking forward to seeing more of them.”

“Were traveling through and we're lucky enough to catch the local pumpkin festival. Wanting some coffee, we stopped in at Black Oak Coffee. The place was nice and clean and seemed to be popular. The service was very good as was the coffee. If I lived in the area I would no doubt be back.”

“Amazing food! Our office heard about this place and did an order for 5....Dear Lord! The Elotas were soooo good! Everyone was raving about their food. I would like to stop by tonight and order for dinner too!😄😁”

“This place is a delight to go to. It is inside the land of 10000 buddha monastery. We have been here 3 times and everytime the food was wonderful. It was the same this time around. We ordered fried rice, sauteed vegetable with garlic and ginger sauce and their dumplings. We left clean and wiped plates after our lunch. As an added bonus as we drove out we saw so many beautiful peacocks and peahens.”

“The food is really good & priced well..Love going here as quite sentimental for us..”

“I am all the way from Florida and this is the best pizza that I have ever had!!”

“I love the food here! I recommend the curries for sure. The service is very good also. Once you try this place I think you’ll be a regular customer because it’s that excellent.”

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

“I ordered a pumpkin latte. It tasted like real pumpkin, not artificial pumpkin nonsense. 5/5

I ordered the apple pie crepes. I finished my plate and ordered the very berry crepes to go. I finished those before I left the store. 5/5

The staff was very friendly. 5/5”

“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 ). Amazing service thank you for being kind and professional and showing you water me to there. Also the store was clean”

“delicious food and great service everytime!”

“Best sandwich in Mendocino county 👏❤️🤤😋”

“Honey Fluff in Ukiah is one of those places that might be known for donuts but honestly I think the real highlight is everything else they serve.

I’m not a big donut guy so I can’t really speak for the donuts but their breakfast bagels and croissants are really good. Just a solid place to grab something in the morning. Now if you happen to stop by around lunchtime I definitely recommend trying their teriyaki bowls. You get rice, vegetables and your choice of chicken or beef or you can get a combo with both. The teriyaki sauce is delicious and their Sriracha is some of the best. I genuinely think the teriyaki bowls are the best thing they serve here.

Sadly they don’t serve the bowls during breakfast but that makes sense. Not a lot of people are waking up craving teriyaki chicken anyways. The breakfast sandwiches are still really good so you can’t really go wrong either way.

The place itself is pretty small inside but that’s not really a big deal. Most people going to a donut shop are just grabbing their food and leaving anyways. They do have a couple of tables outside which is nice but it’s right next to a busy intersection so don’t expect a peaceful breakfast. The parking lot can also be a little tricky to get out of sometimes depending on traffic.

Overall it’s a really solid little place in Ukiah. Nothing too fancy and it doesn’t need to be. The food is good and that’s what matters. I think it’s pretty funny that one of my favorite things to get at a donut shop is a teriyaki bowl but that’s exactly why I keep coming back.

Definitely worth checking out and if you go around lunchtime do yourself a favor and try the teriyaki bowl.”

“Everything is delicious here!! The paletas are amazing and every one of the staff members I have ever encountered are wonderful!! I always go for las aguas frescas!! The fruit is always fresh and tastes great!! All around a great place!”

“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”

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

“Love taste of Nepal! All the food I’ve had is amazing!! Highly recommend 😋”

“Lovely place, lovely people, and lovely staff. Food was phenomenal and delicious.”

“Club Calpella is the best in the west”

“I’m so obsessed with these snow cones that I’ll come up with any excuse to go to Costco in Ukiah, an hour from home, just so I can grab one. I order the exact same flavor every time. At this point, I’ve had enough of them to say with absolute certainty: when the older man makes it, it’s the best snow cone on earth. Perfect texture. Perky. Icy. Heaven.

But when the younger woman makes it, it turns out like snow cone soup. Very wet, no structure, just… wet slush. I’m assuming the snow all comes from the same machine, so I have no idea how his are so firm and refreshing while hers are so soupy.

The flavor’s great either way, so it’s still a treat, but for me it really throws the whole texture off and I’m bummed. Usually I go alone, so it’s not a big deal if it’s a “meh” day. But one time I hyped these up like crazy and brought my teenager along. She handed us two cups of soup, and I had to convince him I wasn’t lying about how amazing they usually are.

Still obsessed. Just hoping I catch the right snow cone artist next time.”

“Delicious! I strongly recommend the Strawberry Cheesecake gelato.”

“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.”

“Sweet spot to kick it drink throw axes or play pool. I could say a lot more but I mean what else is needed to say. Definitely something you won’t regret”

“The bear claw pastry was local, fresh, and delicious. The hot chocolate was tasty and smooth. Great prices. The barista was perky and personable. Wonderful stop our way the the redwoods. ❤️”

“this is my favorite go to place for Mexico. it's understated but they have the best menudo and exquisite chile verde. I mean the chili verde is like one of the best ones I've ever had anywhere hands down. I'd go there just for the chili verde but everything else is good too. and they're good people and the place is clean and they're open good hours”

“Came in from out of town and Dave the owner was very accommodating. Made me feel likebit was my hometown bar. between him and his son they have a bonafide spot. Food was bonafide, i liok foward to coming back.”

“Marinos catered my daughter's wedding. The food was so delicious that I got complimented months later. She made us an assortment of amazing desserts that were to die for. Thank you so much Marinos for all your talents in the culinary department. ❤️”

“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”

“I really appreciate this place, if you really love homemade Chinese dumplings and vegetarian meal this is the place you can't miss. The food and price are reasonable the service on the other hand I'd described as like family feeling running service do not expect top notch legitimate professional restaurant level of attentiveness but over all warm and welcoming service. Love to finally get to try this place.”

“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 Chad-y 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.”

“Where to go for Mexican food? After checking numerous reviews we decided on El Azteca and were not disappointed. Excellent food. 6/8/2024.”

“El Mitote Cafe is the real deal.

The trailer was brought to a medical event in Fort Bragg, CA. The gentleman that runs the shop is exactly that, a gentleman. He’s very knowledgeable and friendly. I ordered the Cafe de Olla and it was to die for!

Definitely going to visit them in Ukiah.”

“Absolutely delicious! Basil fried rice, black pepper chicken, and Pad Thai were so good. very fast and friendly service. I highly recommend this place!”

“Owner is super sweet and charismatic, and offers a lot of options from waffles with protein, coffee, shakes, and teas. Safe for vegetarians and vegans, there are plant based proteins as well.”

“Love the variety of drinks and food at this location they always are kind and friendly and make my order correctly. I love a vanilla soy milk latte and they make this perfectly.”

“Kaitlin M is a great server. We had a lovely lunch for 4 and she made it very enjoyable.”

“Stopped here after visiting Ukiah for a hike. The food was delicious and the shake was thick. Just the way a shake should be. The whipped cream was even thicker. I will be back when in the area.”

“Best burritos in the Ukiah/Clearlake area! Emongous size burritos. HUGE! Their chili Verde is primo. Stewed properly tender. And the tomatillo sauce was very tasty in generous amount for you to dip your steamed corn tortillas in. We usually do take outs, but once in a while do dine in. Dinning room is typical mom and pop strip mall type restaurant affair. Nothing fancy, but comfortable and relaxed. We like it that way actually. Price is still reasonable, especially given the generous serving size. Would definitely recommend.”

“Been living in Ukiah for six years I didn’t know there was the dairy drive up lived in LA before that for nine months sought down there thought it was the best damn thing I thought this sign on North State Street with some old sign. Well, it is an old sign that indeed, but there is an open for business. I’ll be a son of a gun.”

“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.”

“It’s the best pizza place the town has to offer.. their other two competitors don’t look that good.
Pizza was good!
Prices were disrespectful but it is a small dying mountain town so eh”

“I almost always stop here on my way back from a trip to Ukiah. Love this place. Great smoothies, cheerful atmosphere and music, friendly staff, and power outlets available at the tables if you need to charge a mobile device. ??”

“Been to this place a few times now. It’s truly the best Mexican food in town. So many great flavors and one particular salsa that’s actually spicy! The absolute best chili relleno in town…nah, the entire county! They have been nothing short of consistent with every visit. And they have something for everybody.”

“Best tacos in Ukiah! Also need to give a special shout out as this is the ONLY place in Ukiah that will make a Mulita. Most other vendors look at you crazy when you ask for one. This place is awesome and beats all of the other places around. Meat bomb. Salsa bomb. Prices great. This is the place!”

“Everything was good and excellent to taste. I ordered mostly the Chinese fried rice with the spin on it and I’m coming from over 200 miles to get this food truck. Absolutely love this place will add photos on my next visit.”

“Good Food. Friendly owners.. Santa Fe Chicken Wrap was delicious. 🤤👌🏼”

“I’m from SoCal where street tacos are prime no matter where you go. Moved out here and was craving them as they are a lot harder to come by then in SoCal where they’re on every corner. Lalo’s filled that gap and are the best tacos I’ve had in Northern California. Definitely a must stop!!”

“I like the fireplace. 🦋🤩🦶”

“My favorite place to go!!!”

“Great food, great service every time!”

“Love there wet burritos, none better!”

“Amazing frozen coffee! I only wish they were open on weekends or earlier/later. Had them for the first time today, since they are only open while I’m working and it’s soooo good.”

“I brought my nieces for soft serve and slushies. We ordered the small size, which is a medium if bought anywhere else. The soft serve icecream was creamy and delicious. What I thought was cool, is that you can mix slushie and soft serve.The root beer slushie and vanilla soft serve was just like a frozen root beer float.I would highly recommend. The price was really fair, given the large portions.Teresa MartinThere were 6 people served for under $40.”

“Baskin Robbins is a dream come true for ice cream lovers! Their flavors are incredible - wide variety, always fresh, and oh-so-delicious. Plus, the staff is super friendly and helpful, making the whole experience even sweeter. Highly recommend!”

“Hands down the best Mexican restaurant in not only Ukiah but the entire county! Their salsas are incredible, everything is made fresh and with perfect seasoning. They do grilled chicken like no one else! Service is fast and friendly, and the atmosphere is cozy and bright with comfortable outdoor seating options.”

“I decided to revisit Ana Bistro yesterday, October 29, 2026, with my little brother and my significant other. It had been years since I last ate here.

Back in high school, my cousin and i used to come here pretty often. We didn't have much money, and when you're a broke high school kid, finding somewhere you can sit down, enjoy a decent meal, and still have a few dollars left in your pocket means something. Ana Bistro was one of those places. The food was always good, the portions were generous, and the prices never punished you for being hungry.

I eventually stopped coming. No bad experience, no dramatic falling out with the orange chicken. Life just happened, and I hadn't found my way back in a while.

Now, let's get something straight. Ana Bistro isn't some fancy restaurant. You're not walking into a five-star dining establishment with white tablecloths and a waiter describing the chicken's childhood. It's a simple, straightforward place where you come to eat.

The staff isn't overly formal, and there can be a bit of a language barrier when it comes to English. Don't expect a long greeting or a conversation about your day. They're pretty straightforward they take your order, get it to the kitchen, and keep things moving. Personally, I don't mind that. I'm there for the food.

And the food? It came out surprisingly fast.

We ordered about five plates, and the total came out to $77. In today's economy, feeding three people, having plenty to eat, and walking out for under $80 feels like a small victory.

The orange chicken was good, the cream puffs were good, and the rice did its job. The chow mein, however, wasn't for me. It was probably the weakest part of the meal, and I wouldn't go out of my way to order it again. But everything else? No real complaints.

One thing worth mentioning: there's only one bathroom. So if somebody gets in there and declares war on the plumbing, you're either holding your breath or giving the room a few minutes to recover. Just a little heads up for the next customer.

My significant other gave the food a 6/10. I gave it a solid 8/10. Different opinions, same table. That's how it goes.

I've seen the mixed reviews, and I'm sure this place has its bad days. Every restaurant does. I can only speak for my visit on October 29, and on that particular day, Ana Bistro delivered. The food was hot, came out quickly, tasted good, and everyone left full. Nobody got sick, nobody left hungry, and I didn't feel like I'd been robbed when the bill arrived. That's a pretty respectable afternoon in my book.

Ukiah isn't exactly overflowing with Chinese food options, but I'd comfortably put Ana Bistro somewhere in the conversation for the better spots in town. Is it the best? That's up for debate. Is it worth visiting? Based on my experience, absolutely.

At the end of the day, not every restaurant needs to reinvent food or impress you with fancy decorations. Sometimes a good meal, a generous portion, and a reasonable bill are enough.

Ana Bistro was that place for me in high school, and I'm glad to see that, at least on this visit, it still has some of that same charm.

Final rating: 8/10. Nothing fancy, nothing pretentious. Just good food at a fair price”

“Large menu , lots to choose from, lots of room and friendly staff”

“My husband and I visit this Starbucks almost every day and everything is very good, I have spent several hours there studying while drinking a cappuccino and I find the service, the food, the atmosphere and the drinks very pleasant. All the people who work there are very attentive and always respond with respect and kindness.”

“The older gentleman working here knows how to build a salad and bowl!! Instead of the normal spoonfulls of each ingredient, he gently spread out the ingredients to create an appealing salad (and bowl for my husband) that we didn't have to mix myself. Forgot to take pictures before but it was delicious!!”

“Lovely place with great food. My second time coming here, this time dining in. Usually very quiet, surpringly so, because the food is filling and fresh and the staff are exceptionally polite and kind. Good sushi”

“Gracias por atenderme muy bien y servirme un rico y caliente café, el pan muy sabro!”

“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 ☆☆☆☆☆”

“My “42nd” different Starbucks only 2 days after my 41st was caught in a shadow (the one on Airport Park Blvd by Walmart). I had pre planned a stop at this Starbucks at some point on my 3-day work trip. Since the Ukiah Brewery’s desserts were too big, I chose to stop here: DONE! On the skateboarding route, I had to get off the board because of a tweaker on the sidewalk. And, the service was good not great and there was something about the atmosphere that I didn’t like. I’m glad they had the brownie and Dubai Chocolate Bite. They worked well with my hotel’s microwave and my last glass of wine. Through the route as I almost forgot the idea of this Starbucks, I still was able turn back towards it and still take care of an important part of the work stuff on this trip. When I got to my hotel, one of my 2 favorite concierges was on duty. There I would have had a better more fun experience buying an Ice Cream Sandwich or a Drumstick, but I accomplished what I wanted to accomplish by claiming credit for visiting a second of Ukiah’s 3 Starbucks’. I still am glad I chose the Perkins Street Starbucks in the Brewery’s dessert situation; I did something that I wanted to do. Too bad the timing situation didn’t allow me to take a photo to post.”

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