Restaurants in San Carlos

“Very good Indian food and cocktails. Not completely typical north Indian food but not crazy innovation like at Rooh which is weird. Enjoyed the food here.Vegetarian options: As an Indian restaurant there are quite a few vegetarian dishes.Parking: There is a large parking garage a few blocks away.”

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

“Such a wonderful welcome by Michelle! The menu selection did not disappoint. Staff was super attentive & the cuisine options were quite delicious. Highly recommend!”

“Great experience starting with delicious food selection, wonderful service and nice quiet atmosphere. I can mention the octopus ? wich is absolutely amazing 5 stars ✨, tzatziki mashed eggplant and hummus mix of 3 served with pita as well, fried calamari, cheese pizza for the little one and of course lamb gyro wich deserves applause. The lamb was medium rare prepared but was absolutely delicious. Sparkling water served with lemon absolutely necessary on hot days, delicious coffe and fancy looking cold beer served for my husband. Obviously will come back !!! And yeah recommend this place!!!Kid-friendliness: My son enjoyed coloring pages during our time wich is really helpful instead of watching iPad videos.”

“We really enjoyed our meal. We came at opening and got a window table. Water appeared soon, as well as delicious bread with olive oil and balsamic. We had truffle fettuccine, caprese and roasted Brussels sprouts. Chianti was great too. Place is clean and airy with kitchen hidden away so you don't feel like you are in the canteen, like Vivace for example. I also appreciated change of utensils between courses- such rare touch these days. We will be back!”

“Friendly people and good food.”

“It’s always fun to taste new stuff.‘ I’ve even discovered some favorites of styles I don’t typically like. Both staff and customers are nice and the atmosphere is always a perfect combo of chill and upbeat; it’s nearly always packed when we go.”

“I'm from Boston and am by no means an expert in Mexican food, but this place has the best fish tacos I've ever eaten. How can I return home to the second best tacos? They are not a close second.”

“i respect , the people were always nice and gave us a free 2L soda or some ice cream when we got a pizza. they also open late. i just stopped going cuz i don’t wanna be a fatas”

“Wow this place is AMAZING. Loved their food. I’ve never had spam musubi with pork sung in the rice. I got the wagyu beef and galbi combo and they were delicious as well! Too bad I live far from here.”

“Great food but expensive. It was a great treat for me. I did enjoy it.”

“The 2nd best pastrami sandwich I’ve had. $25 for a sando set the bar REALLY high for me, so had to give it 4 instead of 5 stars. Still, super tasty, enjoyed every bite. Went perfectly with the mustard on the table. Friendly staff.”

“This place has delicious Peruvian food. I got the fish ceviche and was not disappointed. It was spicy and fresh. The maracuya juice is also very refreshing and delicious.Vegetarian options: The vegetarian saltado is delicious.”

“Excellent quality of coffee, I remember drinking my first cup and literally travel back to Perú, if you are a coffee lover and have knowledge about it, this is the place. Thank you to the owner for ground my coffee beans and being so kind.”

“A very nice little restaurant that I popped in for dinner. They have very comfortable seating including couches and very fun decor. The service was very kind and helpful and I was recommended the perfect menu item for me that I absolutely loved which was the chicken soup dumplings. Everything else ordered was lovely as well from the soup and their new menu item the spicy potato which was a brilliant add on.”

“A great place for a nice selection of beers. They don't offer food, but they welcome folks to bring in take-out from other places. One of my favorite things to do is getting takeout, going there with my wife, and playing board games while sipping on some awesome beer.Parking: If you're willing to hunt for parking, you can find parking within two blocks pretty reliably. Parking on the same block as Ale Arsenal is often full.Kid-friendliness: People under 21 are not allowed here. Don't even try.”

“Top notch food and service! Wild boar pasta and cod stew are exceptional. Home style type of food and comfort. A true southern Italian gem. I am a regular here and Delizie never disappoints. Family style operation and very welcoming. Thank you for amazing experiences all the times : ))”

“fast and good. clean delicios”

“The sliders were great, with incredibly good slaw. The pork and katsu were just perfect. I didn’t love the potato salad; not a big fan of olives in that personally. But I can’t wait to go back to get those sliders again.”

“I met a colleague for lunch at Cusk Wine Bar and the overall experience was great. We both had the Warm Napa Cabbage salad which was very good. The service was great and the overall ambiance was very good. I thoroughly recommend this neighborhood gem.”

“My FAVORITE coffee shop by far. Cutest interior, the vibes are so good. I love their lattes and seasonal flavors (hazelnut and lavender are both SO good). The acai bowls, coffee, and baked goods are all top notch delicious. Baristas are so nice and friendly, perfect coffee spot.”

“Wow blown away by the food here, I have been trying various Mediterranean foods around South Bay and peninsula, I had the beef and kofta skewer with couscous and babaganoush , everything was just far better than anything I have tasted, and I’m very picky eater , and I’m rating about a take outHands down best Mediterranean food in bay I have tastedI’ll be coming back for the falafels”

“amazing food wonder staff”

“Great place! Amazing food and people!”

“Good sandwiches (huge selection), clean, well-priced. Lou’s sauce is great.My one pick point is that the amount of meat / ingredients is small compared to the bread slice. There were at least 4 bites of the sandwich that were almost entirely bread. Either cut the bread smaller or add more filling.”

“We tried the 8-hour bolognese, the local black cod, and the citrus burrata. They were absolutely perfect, no seasoning was needed. Everything was locally fresh, impressive, and yet so familiar; great setting for perfect comfort food in a family-owned restaurant. We regret we didn’t try their signature Dungeness crab pasta and that will be something for another visit. This experience was an excellent surprise on our work trip.”

“Not in my sight…. Great place to get q beer”

“Wonderful food! Very attentive staff! Loved everything.”

“I ate at Pazzo on Wednesday and had a great experience. The restaurant is take out only. I ordered at the restaurant instead of on the phone. The staff were super friendly and helpful with recommendations. The order took about 20 minutes and we had a drink outside while waiting. I HIGHLY recommend the shrimp and grits. Over anything else on the menu! And I was told the gnocchi was amazing too iAnd of course the pizza is awesome!”

“awesome”

“Excellent place to share Cheers with your friends and family. Salute!”

“Excellent place to share Cheers with your friends and family. Salute!”

“Great food, drinks and service!”

“We have enjoyed King Chuan in San Carlos for almost twenty years. Susan and her staff are always attentive and the food is excellent. Favorites include Hunan Chicken, authentic pot stickers, and han gen chicken.”

“Ordered for delivery to my hotel. Arrived in 30 minutes, exactly as ordered, super hot, and really great pizza. Like Domino's on steroids. Highly recommended.”

“Best place to go after the holidays, nice service, excellent food and very tasty wine …”

“Really fun place a lot of l great people will definitely go back”

“First time here. What great food! Fresh, not greasy Will be back for sure. Service is great. They are so nice here”

“Honestly the most fresh and well prepared sushi I have ever had and I eat sushi like it's my job. Get one of the special sushi dinners, you will not be disappointed! 10/10 would ”

“Had a wonderful meal with my nephew here last night. Food was fresh,very well presented and delicious. Definitely a great change of pace from the usual! I would highly recommend it if you are looking for a nice, satisfying meal with a different twist. Added note, the Borscht was to die for.”

“Best Thai place i have been too! Great food and even better owners!!”

“I have been wanting to try this place for years and keep forgetting about it as it is located in a small strip mall on the other side of the tracks (literally) so I tend not to think of that side of town for dining.I was greeted immediately and sat at the bar. I have favorites I like to order in order to gauge the quality of the place and chef.First, the disappointment: the futomaki was plain, uninspiring, and plain dull. Not worth the $14. And a futomaki is a traditional roll that allows for a lot of creativity. I have had some stellar futomakis. Not so here.I had a bottle of junmai ginjo at $24 dollars. It was smooth... almost too smooth. The rice polish is 55%, same as one of my favorites, Kikusui junmai ginjo that has more distinct characteristics. While I have no complaints per se, I would look for something else next time.The nigiri was very good. Good taste, generous cuts/portion size, and the uni was great. Very fresh. Thank you Santa Barbara!I'd give the place a 4.5 to be more fair. I'll be happy to go back, but with more realistic expectations.”

“Always a five star Meal. The best Taqueria in the Redwood City, San Carlos Belmont area. I drive from out of town a couple of times a month and I always have to stop here to eat. Highly recommend the PRAWN taco.”

“Nice vibe, excellent service and food was great. The squid ink spaghetti with shellfish in white wine sauce was very good. I met a colleague for dinner and we were not rushed and had enough quiet to be able to chat. Loved the atmosphere.”

“Went for Easter brunch. Service was great. Food was great. They have some interesting combos on brunch dishes, and everyone in our group enjoyed theirs. The only suggestion is slightly bigger portions, but prices are reasonable, so ne real complaint there.”

“I love the service, the attention was unsatisfactory for my taste, the food was a little lacking. I ate ranchero eggs, but the only thing about rancheros was the man.”

“Fresh and tasty! Don’t forget it’s healthy, too! Highly recommend!”

“I had a fantastic experience at Starbucks! My coffee was prepared exactly as I like it, and the warm breakfast sandwiches were a delicious addition. Despite the bustling atmosphere, both in the drive-through and inside the store, Gabby's customer service was outstanding. Her attention to detail and friendly demeanor made my visit truly enjoyable.”

“Great breakfast Good quality and good prices!!”

“good Italian ice cream so good”

“food and service is superb! number 1”

“Definitely one of the best burritos I had, but does need more seating options. Also, all the other items looked just as good. While I was looking at my friend’s food and saw what other options they had it only made me more hungry.”

“Love this place, always a spot to sit, always a good rotation of food, and their beer is the best. Their Scotch Ale is my all time fav, but they have a special peated Scotch Ale that I’m craving.”

“Worth every penny!! Great flavor and texture. Authentic artisinale gelato. And the owner/gelatress is so friendly.”

“Cute setup indoor and outdoor space with great coffee and boba drinks. Mango bobo was just right and not too sweet. A place I would definitely check out and chill.”

“They make the best sandwiches here. I love getting either the Breakfast Burrito or the Breakfast sandwich on the way to work. The people who make my food are very nice. I love the turkey sandwich the most. My husband loves the Always Thanksgiving sandwich. They also have a great selection of fresh breads. My favorite is the Dutch Crunch.”

“A little pricey, but food quality is always great. Service too. Like that they are the local business - additional reason to eat here and support them , rather in some franchise or corpo place.”

“I wanted to order the Orange Supreme juice but was informed that this location unfortunately doesn't do fresh apple juice onsite, so anything on the national Jamba Juice menu that contains apples is unavailable here. I then asked if they could make it without the apple juice. Sadly another ingredient for that item is carrots and they had run out of carrots today. So I ended up ordering carrot-banana juice with a dash of ginger. The employee was nice enough to let me taste it before he poured it all out of the blender. I also ordered a standard strawberry-banana smoothie for my kid. Both tasted great.Parking: It's a strip mall”

“Went in for lunch on a Monday, and we were able to order at the counter without a wait. The food tasted so fresh and was very flavorful. Like most places, Lulu's can't guarantee cross-contamination of gluten free items won't occur, but I felt comfortable as a celiac because most things are gluten free aside from the flour tortillas.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian and vegan dishes markedDietary restrictions: Gluten free dishes marked”

“Authentic and charming! The coffee, muffins and sandwiches are WAY wonderful!”

“The tacos de cabeza and lengua al vapor are second to none here in the bay almost as good as my grandma's in Mex ( but they only thing is that there sooo dang good they sell out super fast so get there early like 10 to 11 ”

“Late at night favorite GO TO. Always more cheese, more meat, more everything. The crew is fantastic, always happy and humble. Would give it 7 stars if I could!!! They don't just the way you like it ... and then some+”

“Convenient location and friendly staff. Be sure to order using the MacDonald's app or a kiosk as there is not necessarily someone at the counter to take your order.”

“the salsas are so good here! Especially the one with nuts and the habanero one, really excellent. Even the rice is really good. Excellent food.Beautiful paintings, friendly relaxed service, and FAST.”

“Their green salsa shmackzzz you NEED to put it on everything make sure you get a burrito with Jitomate.Kid-friendliness: They were very kind hearted to everyone.”

“I recently visited the Subway sandwich store, and I must say it was an excellent experience from start to finish. The store's atmosphere was inviting and clean, making it a comfortable place to enjoy a meal.”

“Quite a delicious carne asada burrito. The meat was tender and well spiced. It was as if I was eating a plate of Mongolian beef but instead of those juices and spices, it was more of a adobo asada style but Mexican. I feel like this review might not appeal to most readers but trust this local business is serving a burrito con mucho sabor.”

“The coffee is good, as usual, but service was not up-to-par. I paid with a credit card, because who touches cash during Covid? When I didn't put any thing in the tip jar the cashier stared at me, glanced at the jar, and then stared at me again. I said to her, "I wish there was a tip option on your credit card machine." She replied with an emphatic, "Me, too." Then, rather than pouring my coffee as they usually do, the cashier proceeded to sweep the floor and make busy. After a few minutes of this she got around to pouring my coffee. Excellent coffee, as usual...”

“Fun people watching spot for casual meals/bites in the heart of Laurel! Can’t wait to try all of the gelato flavors.”

“I have tried many Chinese restaurants and this by far is one of my favorites. Not only do they give you huge portions unlike other Chinese restaurants. Their dishes are delicious they have so much flavor and I've never been let down once. For their spicy dishes I'd order extra spicy because they're regular spicy dishes aren't that spicy to me but I also love spicy food and I'm very tolerant to it. If you've never tried this place you have to try it literally it's one of the best Chinese restaurants in the Bay areanow next on my list is the Mongolian beef chowmane which I'm sure I won't be disappointed.”

“Places like La Hacienda used to be all over the Bay Area, now this restaurant is the last of the few great family ran restaurants that serve up really good Mexican food. A true gem in the bay.”

“Phenominal.I especially enjoyed walking down the street and hearing this kid Barnhart play...or was it Bard. Oh well. I hired him anyway. Those hiennys really got to me. Prost!”

“(Translated by Google) Good food, the sandwiches are delicious, the place has good food, only I have a complaint and it is not for the place but for the owner, today, Saturday, January 29, at 2 or 2:30 p.m. I went to the homedepot, I went to his place and he had two employees working, a young woman and a lady between 35 and 40 years old, the young lady cooks and works very fast. What I don't like is that the older lady, while I was waiting for my food, was about 20 minutes. This lady spends talking and complaining about the owner and his Unfortunately, other employees took a lot of time for the young woman and instead of getting to work during the course I was there, she did not pay attention to the cashier's window and 4 potential clients left, the fifth person who arrived was waiting and I had to yell at him to pass the You to attend and it is not worth that the business loses money more in these times due to bad employees, instead of paying attention and paying attention to the clients, attending them, let them go, take care of your business, sir, and hire someone people who really want to work and take care of their place not people who only go for their salary thank you(Original)Buena comida los sándwiches estan deliciosos el lugar tiene buena comida solo que tengo un complain y no es para el lugar sino para el dueño hoy sabado 29 de enero alas 2 o 2:30pm fui a homedepot pase asu lugar y tenia dos empleadas trabajando una joven y una señora entre sus 35 y 40 años la jovencita cosina y trabaja muy rapido lo que no me gusta es que la señora mayor en lo que estuve esperando mi comida fueron como unos 20 minutos esta señora sela pasa ablando y quejandose del dueño y de sus otras empledas lastimosamente le kita mucho en tiempo ala joven e ves de ponerse a trabajar en el trascurso que estuve ahi no ponia atencion ala ventanilla de la caja y se fueron 4 potenciales clientes la quinta persona que llego estaba esperando y tuve que gritarle para pasarle la vos para que atendiera y no se vale que por malas empleadas el negocio pierda dinero mas en estos tiempos en ves de poner atencion y restetar alos clientes atendiendoles los deja ir cuide su negocio señor y contrate personas que realmente quieran trabajar y le cuiden su lugar no gente que solo vaya por su salario gracias”

“The Tea Hut is my favorite place to get tea. It has a great selection of teas, all of which are made with fresh ingredients and premium teas. I like that they offer a variety of flavors, from classic black tea to more exotic options like jasmine green milk tea.”

“I only took out coffee, but the iced Americano was really delicious and the staff was friendly. And there are so many seats that you can come here to study (there are also many seats with charging cords inside).I only ordered coffee to take out. Iced Americano was so delicious and not pricey. This place was so huge. When I visited here, it was around 2-3pm and not many people were there. There are some seats outside as well. Also, the employees were friendly.”

“Good vegiterian option. Try the fried rice and pad kee mow. The tofu gonger was nice too.Vegetarian options: They have a large variety of vegan or vegetarian option.”

“The owners are awesome and I'd definitely come back again! :D”

“Great double Garlic Chicken Shawarma!! Hands down delicious!! Next time i will add the extra sauces on the side. First time visiting here and I will definitely come back again!! ✨️ ?”

“First time here. What great food! Fresh, not greasy Will be back for sure. Service is great. They are so nice here”

“Bubble Yum, Pop Rocks and Chico sticks. KC & the Sunshine Band crackling from the AM radio of an El Camino parked out front. This is The Little Store as I experienced it circa 1974 in 4th grade. Groups of Arundel and TL kids in and out all afternoon . My friends and I sharing snacks (as much as our pooled change could afford that day) while sitting on the stairs before our brutal treks up the SC hills home. No cell phones. No rides. Lots of fun memories & great friends. Decades later I’m back in the neighborhood and while much has changed, the Little Store hasn’t (it even smells the same). Still friendly owners, and still a convenient stop when driving home or on neighborhood walks for sweet treats, a six pack, or essentials. And for many of us nostalgic touchstone.”

“We highly enjoy working with Angie and the delivery drivers! They are kind, fast, and very accommodating to our needs, respectful, hard working and on time. They go above and beyond. Their food choices are very kid friendly, fresh, and meets state standards. (Which takes that pressure from us.) The kids enjoy a lot of the options. I recommend them! Thank you Lunch Masters!!”

“Amazing, delicious, flavorful, I love it, I want more; those are the words that my little child used to describe the food he ate. He is not wrong, everything we had to eat was delicious and well prepared. We all know children are the hardest to please when it comes to food.”

“I got my food to go, and it was ready promptly, and the food was absolutely outstanding! I would recommend this place to anybody!”

“fast and good. clean delicios”

“I don't take pictures but the steak and eggs were marvelous as well as country potatoes. We sat outside under overhang and service was exceptional. The portions were large for the price. The bathrooms were very clean as well. Definitely would recommend this restaurant and will return.”

“My FAVORITE coffee shop by far. Cutest interior, the vibes are so good. I love their lattes and seasonal flavors (hazelnut and lavender are both SO good). The acai bowls, coffee, and baked goods are all top notch delicious. Baristas are so nice and friendly, perfect coffee spot.”

“Nice vibe, excellent service and food was great. The squid ink spaghetti with shellfish in white wine sauce was very good. I met a colleague for dinner and we were not rushed and had enough quiet to be able to chat. Loved the atmosphere.”

“Kaylin was amazing when you comeHere come with her, she was so professional, polite, friendly, and always smiling to the costumers, the costumer service, the food was great highly recommend, clean, delicious!!!!”

“Delicousss! Best cheesesteak and burger you can have! You can not find a better cheesesteak in the Bay Area that will beat this place. People mention that they are new owners, but those who say are not a regular. Same great taste, same good vibe just with a revamped interior!”

“Friendly staff, yummy food, excellent service. Flavors reminded me of authentic indo-chinese food from India.They are masters in slicing/dicing and chopping, loved the amazing fine cuts to all the veggies.Ignore the -ve reviews, know that this is an Indo-chinese place, not mainland chinese. We saw a few asian folks walk in (ask for beef, pork) and then leave. I think the sign (with mandarin characters) outside makes them think that this is an authentic chinese place. Well, folks need to do their homework before entering. Keep up the great work, RHCP, we will be back.”

“Incredibly high quality food where pretty much everything is made in-house, even the hot sauce. Expensive, but worth the investment and well deserved for the clear amount of effort they put into each dish. Lots of great vegetarian options.Vegetarian options: Their vegetarian section is well crafted and unique. They make their own tofu and put a huge amount of effort into each dish. Nothing feels lacking and they are very cognizant of making dishes vegan.”

“I'm from Boston and am by no means an expert in Mexican food, but this place has the best fish tacos I've ever eaten. How can I return home to the second best tacos? They are not a close second.”

“Went for Easter brunch. Service was great. Food was great. They have some interesting combos on brunch dishes, and everyone in our group enjoyed theirs. The only suggestion is slightly bigger portions, but prices are reasonable, so ne real complaint there.”

“It’s a bit pricey. Been there a handful of times. Full bar, good cocktails. Drunken prawns for appetizer were great! Tried the prime rib, New York steak and the skirt steak. Skirt steak is by far my favorite. Don’t really care for the cheesy potatoes but like their cream spinach, broccoli and any side salad. They charged us $5.99 for bread which we did not know about until the bill came and we hadn’t requested any. Key lime pie for dessert was really good too. Service is always top notch! I will be back and will tell them next time to hold the bread.Parking: As always be sure nothing valuable is visible in your car and lock it up tight. There have been reported car break ins in their lot.”

“I love the service, the attention was unsatisfactory for my taste, the food was a little lacking. I ate ranchero eggs, but the only thing about rancheros was the man.”

“Cute setup indoor and outdoor space with great coffee and boba drinks. Mango bobo was just right and not too sweet. A place I would definitely check out and chill.”
