“After a wonderful lunch with family, while we enjoy our walk at downtown, Tong sui catch our attention, so we decide to give it a try. The server is really nice and help us for the selection.We got Da hong pau tea latte and Osmanthus oolong tea latte. We both getting 50% sweetness (recommended) and less ice.Saw the special menu will come back again to try it.“

“This restaurant meets every expectation! Great food, excellent service and convivial atmosphere. It offers a menu of 'shared plates' each more delicious than the one before. The variety of offerings is excellent. It will be my 'go to' for many special dinners in the future!“

“Quality food. Excellent cocktails. The menu is a bit boring and dishes are a little overpriced if you care about that. Been here a few times and the only thing that stands out in memory would be the cocktails. The quality of food is consistent, it's well prepared, and it's a safe bet to take people when you don't know their tastes. Good atmosphere too.“

“Best place for pastries and bread in town. Nothing fancy, just great pastries.“

“Good food and service overall but a few hiccups for our dinner there: only an outdoor table available (but after asking if any table would become available we got one indoor in 5 min), good-but-loud live music, and no heads up what what we ordered wasn't available anymore.“

“Los invito a todos a disfrutar de un buenísimo sushi!! 100% recomendable!! sabrosos y accesibles ;)“

“Incredible. The Wagyu beef was a transformative experience. Every time going forward I’m in N California-this is an incredible restaurant“

“Very Nice staff and very clean kitchen and they always treat ME LIKE FAMILY WHEN I COME IN. I recommend this place and its a great addition to our community. Love Teena“

“Amazing food and excellent service - highly recommend“

“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.“

“Wow! I came here several years ago and was disappointed, but they have really turned it around. Our palak aloo and paneer tikka thali were flawless and perfectly spiced. The naan was perfect and the samosas were exquisite. Can't wait to come back here!“

“I had the linguine with clams, which was delicious! My husband had the special branzino which was also excellent. We shared the Rosa Di Mela (hot apple tart with vanilla gelato), which disappeared in an instant! We had a lovely server, who was so helpful and knowledgeable. All of that was wonderful and we'll certainly be coming back for the food & service. The only negative, is that sitting outside, you are right on the sidewalk by a road. If they could perhaps put up a bit of a screen or trellis, or maybe just some nice pots of flowers & plants, it would make the entire experience tremendous!“

“Amazing food and excellent service!“

“Ottimo cibo, servizio veloce, locale molto carino.“

“The pizza was overall pretty good - got the margarita pizza, however for the price preferred the pie to be slightly bigger. The crust was great and tasty, and the menu had many vegetarian and even vegan options. Ordered their bread pudding - would definitely not recommend, the bread was very dense and dry. Otherwise pretty good food!“

“Random food truck I found on the side of the street lol, but it had good reviews so I had to try it. They are generous in their serving size and everything tasted pretty good too be honest. It's not as spiced as a lot of other restaurants, but that's also ok. I think it may have more turmeric than other places though. It's a one man army and the food is good, so 7/10.“

“Friendly people and good food.“

“Ada’s is the best place for delicious food, friendly service and a real sense of community. On top of all that, it believes everyone can have meaningful employment and trains and offers wonderful work under the kind and generous care of founder Kathleen. It’s a community GEM!!“

“Great lunch choices. Healthy and unique. Desserts are the perfect combination for your coffee or latte. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Location is easy for access with designated parking. Will repeat for sure.“

“I have been to this place only a handful of times. Each time the food quality and service never ceases to amaze me. The food is spectacularly delicious. The service is quick. Don' t let that deter you in thinking the food quality must lack. On the contrary, they use fresh ingredients and the fact that they are so busy they food turn over is great. you know you are getting fresh cooked food. Hands down the best pakistani/indian restaurant in the bay area. I recommend the halwa puri thali on the weekends and the spinach gosht on the weekdays with garlic naan.“

“Love the layout and ambience. The coffee was great. With @mike and @gordon“

“Good food and great customer service. Do recommend“

They became one of my favourite bakeries ☺️ I am lucky to have this nice place:) The best biscottis and cannolis I’ve ever tried!!!!“

“Walking into ROKU in Palo Alto feels like catching up with an old friend over a drink. This new Japanese spot blends traditional elegance with a modern twist. From delicate sashimi to bold, inventive Robata, each bite highlights the chef’s craft and creativity. The service is sharp and attentive, and the entire staff ensures everything flows smoothly and you feel well looked after. The space strikes this perfect balance of chic and cozy, inviting you to kick back and take it all in. This will be a new regular for us, and a welcome addition to the MP/PA dining scene.“

“Great service, amazing food, yummy drinks will definitely be back!“

“Vegetarian / vegan wrap perfect for Good Friday. The Turkish double espresso was delicious and not gross like the bitter American roasters. I got fries, but did not realize lentil soup is on the menu. Next time. Operated by family, doesn’t get better than that.Dietary restrictions: Halal“

“My husband and I just discovered this place! We love how unique the menu is and it's all delicious, especially the lentil soup. We will definitely be back!“

“Awesome brewery with absolutely delightful brews. Great live music events and super tasty food trucks and vendors. I love this place!“

“I would like to give special credit to Levent for exceptional service. The food was just out of this world, every thing was delicious. I would definitely recommend trying the veggie platter it was just awesome. Levent was kind enough to go out of his way and make me a mocktail. I can't wait to visit again.“

“The best Sandwich in 100 miles! Been coming here ever since it opened and will continue to eat delicious sandwiches for years to come. NOM NOM NOM.“

“This is an unusual place, basically the lobby of a new residential complex turned into a hip (for Menlo Park) lounge. The first time we were here the food was mixed (in not everything was fantastic), but the service was outstanding. This time what we ate was all delicious (the scallop ceviche was one of the best things I have ever eaten), but I had a hard time getting anyone's attention to get a glass of wine. It is designed to be a place to hang out for a while. Good cocktails, small plates of tasty food.“

“this place is wonderful. I didn't have Cash and just wanted to soda in Measure just had me the soda and said it wasn't worth the effort of the transaction and to enjoy. Definitely a beautiful heart and wanted to take the time to write a review and say thank you Please try this place out if anything to support the good people in the world“

“Great tacos! The buche, carnitas, and cabeza were all really good (and large/meaty). Each one had a different delightful texture but cabeza was my favorite.... so tender! Fresh salsa bar and free chips are a huge plus. Also the free deep fried jalapenos was a nice touch. Next time I've gotta tried that awesome looking giant fried fish plate.“

“Update: May 2024Vina Enoteca has grown up. It has matured into a stellar Italian fare. Reasonable prices for the food and atmosphere. All dishes were tasty although slightly on the bland side. Plays it safe. Hope the place ages well.****Food was fabulous. Great atmosphere. Trendy interior. Slightly pricey but it is Palo Alto after all.“

“As an update, it's worth calling out how much the current owners have improved this shop. It's cleaner, brighter, the service is fast, etc. They clearly care and are putting in lots of effort and attention. It's always had good beans and coffee, but everything else is just better now. Top notch place, check it out!“

“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.“

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

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

“What should I do in Japanese restaurant while some americans are talking too loud?In a situation where fellow diners are being too loud in a restaurant, it's generally best to handle it with tact and politeness. Here are a few steps you could consider:1. **Self-assessment**: First, check if their volume is indeed excessively loud or if it's a normal conversation level for a public place.[I put the earplug on to protect my hearing.]2. **Move Away**: If possible, ask the restaurant staff if you can move to a quieter table.[This is a small place.]3. **Communicate with the Staff**: If moving isn't an option, you might consider speaking to the restaurant staff or management. They are usually trained to handle such situations diplomatically.[Staff is busy and understaffed even for bringing dishes to the side of our desk.]4. **Direct but Polite Approach**: If you feel comfortable, you could approach the individuals directly. Do so politely and calmly, expressing that their conversation volume is a bit high and is disturbing your dining experience.[Some of them speaks Chinese but they just pretend to ignore our complaints. ]Remember, every situation is different and requires a judgement call. It's important to stay respectful and considerate in your approach.[I am wondering what else I can do to deal with this situation?]“

“This is a really spacious location compared to other locations they have in the area. Many tables for seating! A few people were waiting for their drinks and socializing. Cozy little spot. This is conveneient across from Ramen Nagi and Son & Garden as well.I recommend the Mango Mochi Coconut Pudding and the Jasmine Coconut Pudding! These are my favorites, but definitely get pricey. For drinks, my go-to is the Da Hong Pao (DHP) Latte with Jelly! Very fragrant tea, but still creamy from the milk. A well balanced milk tea.“
