“This ramen shop is my proud spot to take visiting friends in Palo Alto. It is hard to find good Asian food in Palo Alto with reasonable price. However, Ramen Nagi is so good that it is worth the bucks. I have tried all flavors and it is all delicious, including Veggie Ramen. Prepared to be full after slurping all the ramen! The line is very long so the trick is to get there before the shop opens. 15 minutes early should be good enough.

UPDATE 2026/6: Still very popular with a long line! I still finish the ramen to the very last drop :) The chicken karaage is also good but I am surprised that the boys don't like it that much. Anyway, just ramen itself is enough to check this place out.“

“Great! I love this place. So good.“

“Decided to give them another try after a long while. The traditional food is really good as that’s where they shine. I would still clear of the burgers, nothing wrong with it, but I would go to a burger place for a burger and stick to Zareen’s for traditional food. The charga is incredible!!“

“Very tasty Pad Thai! Delicious food!

The waiter was the worst service i've ever had, he didn't even put in my food order, he didn't even come to give us a check , we had to go back and forth and ask for dessert at the counter. And as we left , he didn't even say thank you.

But I want to say that we had the best busser ever! He filled our waters constantly, he noticed that I wasn't getting my food and checked on me, and he's packed my food up. He actually cared about our family and our food and our experience. So thank you to him, he saved our experience.“

“Good food and great customer service. Do recommend“

“The garlic fries and pickles are a must-have, and the burgers are crisp and juicy! When I had a problem using a coupon on an order, the staff was kind enough to give me my burger for free. Definitely go here for good customer service and awesome food!“

“Amazing food and excellent service - highly recommend“

“Delicious and wonderful service! Everything tasted delightful and all the servers were beyond helpful, truly service with a smile. The presentation dazzles and it feels elegant without being over the top. We had long wanted to try - you need to get a reservation! - and we were NOT disappointed. A tasty meal outside under their clever shading. Definitely try it out, tons of options including plenty of veggie plates!“

“love this place. might be expensive but worth it been com I ng here for years“

“I came here for a school field trip. The trip was amazing and super fun. Basically we tested their new robot system, and it was really cool. After we finished, we fought each other (the other kids). Also, the cafeteria was great, the “vending machines” were well stocked, and overall I had a great time. I wish I could go back and relive that day.“

“Really enjoyed Nomadic Kitchen in San Mateo! They feature a streamlined menu focused on heavy-hitting entrees and appetizers, which makes ordering easy because everything they do, they do right.

The hummus plate is an absolute must-have. It features incredibly creamy, delicious hummus topped with vibrant cabbage and pomegranate seeds. It is surrounded by a beautiful ring of rich, colorful sauces, dips, and pickles that pair perfectly with the basket of warm, homemade bread.

For the main course, the chicken kebab was a total hit. The chicken breast cubes are perfectly charred and incredibly tender. What really sets Nomadic Kitchen over the top is their beautiful plating and generous side options. The entree comes out beautifully arranged on a sleek black platter, complete with a fresh salad topped with pickled cabbage, a side of seasoned bulgur wheat, and a side of fluffy white rice. Having both rice options on one plate is a fantastic touch.

If the weather is nice, I highly recommend sitting out on the patio area to enjoy the beautiful San Mateo sun. The service was completely solid, friendly and fairly quick, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality of food you get. I will definitely be back.“

“Enjoyed omakase 8pcs with some age dashi tofu, nigori sake and the white peach panna cotta!“

“First time here. Long line to get in but it moved fairly quickly. Had the Roast beef Aburasoba. Mind-Boggling GOOD! The flavor was out of this world! The service was fantastic!! I can’t wait to go back again!“

“Always have 2 slices 1 is never enough. It’s that good..“

“Once of those great authentic cuban restaurant. Their food and drinks are one of a kind. They have this distinct taste that they can be proud to compete in the food industry. Definitely and highly recommended. Our top choice when it comes to cuban cravings.“

“My partner and I recently found this spot on her lunch break because we were craving soup and wanted to avoid dealing with parking downtown.

We both ordered the momo (buffalo) noodle soup and were blown away! The noodles were similar to mama/indomie rather than fresh, but I ended up loving it regardless. The broth was very light but super flavorful and savory. AND THE MOMOS!!! Absolutely to die for; I think they were the best I've ever had. Not to mention it was very fairly priced and lasted us both for two meals.

Not to mention, especially in the South Bay, most Nepalese/Himalayan restaurants heavily feature Indian food. Rara stands out to me because Nepali food is absolutely the star here. I wasn't familiar with a majority the menu and that's a great thing because it means they're offering unique dishes you can't find everywhere. Plus, the service was incredibly friendly and kind.

This is definitely going to be a new go-to place for us!“

“My husband and I love coming in for the lunch buffet. It's so delicious!“

“Fast friendly service. But you’ll be taking a to-go bag home for sure!! I was stuffed!!“

“Chef Marcus’ dishes are full of flavor & fresh ingredients that make for a spectacular culinary experience. 😋“

“I ordered Veal schnitzel and beet salad.

Overall the schnitzel had a gentle texture, however some small parts were a bit chewy, for this price I expected to melt in ny mouth.
Beet salad was good, I like the addition of pistachios, however some greens were not fresh, I could taste it.

Very friendly stuff.“

“Great place to have dinner, great service and the food is delish“

“Zadna is wonderful.The food is absolutely delicious and the people are fabulous. Please make sure to support them.They deserve it.“

“Mr Ralph Carico is the most skilled trader I've ever encountered, I will certainly advise everyone to utilize his service, He’s so wonderful Ralph Carico.“

“Giving 5 stars for their free drink.

ordered the duck and mushroom soup, pan fried buns, and their combo D which included wonton soup and noodles with peanut sauce

duck and mushroom soup was the worst thing we ordered. $10 for a tiny pot the height of a toilet paper roll, but narrower and with thick walls. would recommend to those who like stringy and still half dried mushrooms.

the pan fried buns were good, though they were on the oilier side. very fragrant, and tasted delicious with their vinegar.

the wonton soup was the best out of everything ordered and tasted quite delicious, but the wontons themselves were low quality—they were small, which is fine, but the filling tasted like fish balls and not actual meat.

the noodles were a bit disappointing. they were soggy and the sauce was probably something you could make at home with peanut butter, soy sauce, and sesame oil. their menu says that the pictures are for reference only, and that's very true. the noodles looked completely different from the picture on their menu, whether it was portion size, color, or even noodle shape.

they had complimentary side dishes and the spicy tofu skin was great. nobody told us they were available, though, and we found out when we were going to use the restroom.

true rating is overall 3 stars, not great or incredibly authentic, but also not the worst“

“Excellent, creative dishes! Good service!! 10 stars!!!“

“Amazing experience! I’ve eaten here three days in a row, and every visit has been fantastic. We had a small mix-up with our order today, but Ahmed was incredibly kind and went above and beyond to help us get everything sorted out. The customer service was outstanding, and the food was so good it was literally dance-worthy. Highly recommend!“

“My experience with Broadway Masala has been outstanding and extraordinary. Customer service 5 out of 5. Food 10 out of 5. Yes 10. Amazing food. Love this place. Staff amazing. Chef amazing. Thank you for being so good. We have a place to dine for every special moment now. Five star hands down. 🤗“

“Cocktails and Wagyu - soooo good!“

“The outdoor patio was perfect for our Sunday brunch and our 18th Anniversary. We’ve celebrated many occasions at All Spice and have always had a stellar experience with the staff and the food. Our table felt intimate — we were sharing a large space with four other tables, appropriately distanced. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Again, all Covid-19 compliant. The food, oh the food! The Dutch baby was perfectly cooked and the fruit fillings were gorgeous. The chicken sandwich was out of this world. The Mimosa and hard apple cider beverages were on point. We always love our meals at All Spice and this time was no exception. It’s a total gem!“

“Everything! It's a flawless dining experience.“

“Delicious, consistent, and wide selection. Excellent service with a big hello and smiles all around. This is a family owned restaurant where the workers are always happy to see you. The people is what makes you want to come here, and the food makes you want to stay. Honest value and freshest ingredients. Yum every time!!!“

“Halal beef burgers, made to order, soft brioche buns, veggie options, yummy milkshakes! Definitely with be a place we frequent! Face friendly business, family owned and operated 👏🏼🇺🇸“

“Their tilapia fillet is excellent. Gyros is good. Best baklava. Staff are friendly, cordial, polite and professional. As soon as we walked in, they recognized us.“

“Food was fantastic! Covid has hit all restaurants hard and La Stanza was new to Menlo Park opening in January 2020. The owner / chef has his Italian cuisine dialed. The cesar salad was dressed to perfection served on a chilled plate w/shavings of Parmigiano Reggiano.. Delish! My short rib ravioli special was exactly what I was hoping for. Hand made in house pasta baked to perfection. My wife had the sacchettto vegi pasta pocket stuffed w/vegis . The red sauce had tremendous flavor... and perfect to mop up with the bread. 🤪... This place is a must try!“

“I love Cuco’s!! All women staff. They do everything right.“

“Elevated beer and pizza, and pinball to boot. Owners and staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Their pizza menu is solid, and they’re good with swapping out ingredients for vegans, etc.“

“Amazing food and excellent service!“

“Many promotions going on, they have eat for under $10 and I was more than full. Also they have a gift card deal and more discounts when leaving a review that I am taking advantage of! This place is very well priced and you can tell everything is fresh. I saw the girl cutting up all the vegetables from scratch. Very honorable place, really liked the kake, similar to miso soup in my opinion“

“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“

“We love this restaurant! The food is phenomenal and delicious.“

“What a hidden gem in Menlo Park! Great spot for lunch after visiting Willow Oaks Park. Spacious dining area that can hold large groups and the food is really good value thanks to the large portions. Our kids loved the lentil soup and cheeseburger.“

“Amazing service. Great food. Awesome staff! Can’t recommend it more highly.“
