Restaurants in Cupertino

“A great experience. We have been here about a dozen times and been to several other Brazilian steakhouse all over. This one is one of our favorites. The meats are tasty. They tend to start at rare when the carving sticks are fresh. If you want it cooked more, just let them know, and they are quick to bring the desired doneness to your tableside. The price is very reasonable for what you get. The cuts aren't prime, but they are seasoned well and all you can eat. I dont always like to cook so they are a great place for a treat and celebrations. Kids 6 and under are only $6!”

“Really good Cajun and lemon pepper seasoning for both boil and especially fries (excellent Cajun fries, must get), great service and amenities!

Kid-friendliness: Very accommodating for children and large groups 👍🏻”

“Visited Dough Zone on Christmas, and it didn’t disappoint! The restaurant was open and welcoming during the holiday, which was a pleasant surprise. The pork dumplings in chili sauce were absolutely fantastic – the perfect balance of heat and flavor.
Highly recommend Dough Zone, especially if you're craving authentic dumplings during the holidays!”

“One of the best Kebab wrap sandwich I have had. Very clean healthy and tasty. Also a very nice Persian store.”

“There are countless number of boba shops near our home in Cupertino but Ume is the favorite for my entire family. Kids and adults love this place. Not only do they have the best drinks and service but the snacks are delicious as well. Come try something new in Ume!”

“The service is awesome and the food is really good!”

“3 people less than $100, large portions”

“Can hardly go wrong with any dish here! I really like the spicy fish fillet in soup, chicken or shrimp tidu dry pot. Portion sizes are large so bring a group or just be ready to take some home :)”

“Friday open mic is great way to end a hectic week.”

“Good service was good, and very helpful. Accidentally mixed up my food but were willing to remake it.”

“The most memorable: 1) fresh garlic in a bowl on each table for self serve! Super authentic chinese northerners way of eating noodles!! I love it. 2) the texture of size 2 (second thinnest) is mind blowing good for someone like their noodles Al dente. Don’t get the most thinnest in noodle soup unless you like super soggy mushy texure.”

“First I came with my friends. Then I came with my parents and their friends.

This place is so yummy and a hit no matter who you come with.

My favorite to order in order is
1) sweet and sour fried fish
2) sauteed eggplant with fish flavor (idk why it's so good here)
3) house special fish
4) Brown sugar cakes

Everything is good but those are my favorite go to.

The staff are so friendly and kind as well. It's my go to family style restaurant.

Parking: Right in front of the restaurant there's plenty of free parking. I've never had trouble parking here even at peak dinner time on a Saturday night”

“A casual eatery for Japanese udon noodles. The menu was largely different types and styles of noodles. Service was quick. The udon noodles tasted fresh, and the broth was flavorful. I tried the Utsuke Udon Tsukemen, which had the noodles and broth served separately and then you add the noodles to the broth when eating. It was a solid dish. We also added a side green salad for some fiber and greens.”

“Good service. It is like a local cafe. Food is delicious and portion size generous. Parking is difficult; but street parking available in streets behind the place.”

“I visited the tea-tasting section and learned about their trademarked tea-espresso machine and the impressive variety of teas they offer. Nick was incredibly friendly and taught us about the ideal brewing times, tea quantities, and water ratios to make each drink. Highly recommend it to anyone interested in learning about High Mountain tea!”

“Been coming here since they opened. Lemon slices with water is awesome but I do have one complaint is the recent change to their chicken sumac recipe changed and my kids can’t eat the new saltier and spiced up recipe. Even the chicken shawarma is kind of spicy now and unable to feed to children. I hope you can fix this.”

“Fast delivery, good taste, suitable for family, friends, company colleagues to have dinner together, each dish has a taste, especially when it is served, the taste is super fragrant. Love it.”

“First time here. The burgers were amazing!”

“Matcha lovers rejoice! For those of you who are obsessed with matcha and looking for something new to try, Izumi Matcha is the newest matcha shop on the block!

Izumi Matcha strives to bring the highest quality authentic Japanese matcha to America, providing patrons with not only matcha drinks and desserts for purchase, but also a variety of matcha good available in-store. I would go out on a limb and guess that majority of those visiting Izumi Matcha are wanting to sample their drinks or taiyaki treats, so keep in mind the lines can be quite long. Ordering is all done in-store on a self-serve kiosk and then you wait for your matcha treat to be ready and retrieve it when your number is called. Naturally, the store is busier on the weekend, but I've noticed that the 5-6pm window might be a sweet spot where the line does die down a bit (don't quote me on this as I've only been there twice).

Now onto what we tried! We ordered their matcha yuzu tea and the honey hojicha latte. The matcha yuzu pairing was a match made in heaven as the tart yuzu perfectly balances the earthy matcha for a smooth, yet refreshing drink. For those of you who want some extra matcha oomph you can also add a free extra matcha shot to your drinks! The hojicha on the other hand was a delicious not-too-sweet cup of roasted goodness. With the honey and dairy providing a smooth accompaniment for the deep roasted notes of the hojicha. I could go on and on about how good the drinks here, but honestly you should try it for yourself to really understand why so many people are flocking to Izumi Matcha. I only tried the drinks when I've been, but the taiyaki and soft serves are also extremely popular, so those will have to be on my list to try in the future!

If you're looking for the next best matcha place to try out in the Bay Area, the I highly recommend giving Izumi Matcha a try (as long as you can bear the long lines and wait, it'll be well worth it)!”

“avocado toast and latte with oat milk ... the coffee is great!”

“Our family’s all time favorite restaurant in the Bay Area… genuinely good foods worth of every penny 👍🏻”

“We dined at their SM North Edsa branch. Good food. 👌 Crews were accommodating. 💯”

“a nice casual bar and restaurant. the food is delicious and the service is good.”

“The food is very instagrammable, but the omurice isn't using short grained sticky rice for some reason and the loco moco had a bit stronger of a beefy flavor than I would have liked. Millionaire's bacon was good, but not $13+ good for two slices. The times I went were Friday lunch and early morning weekend breakfast, and both times I was seated quite promptly, though I know the place can get very packed during late mornings on weekends.”

“I have tried the tea and it's one of the kind, price is so reasonable for a large size, you need to try when you are around the area, words can't describe until you have tasted the tea and judge for yourself.... highly recommended.”

“I dined at Alexander's when it was in a different location and remembered it being really good. This time it's not as great as I remembered. Service from Victor was amazing though. The steaks, they were cooked perfectly but underseasoned. We ordered a few appetizers and we didn't care for the short rib or the Jamon iberico with buratta. It was really fun when you get Cotton candy at the end. They're very accommodating especially if you're celebrating something.”

“Everything we had was tasty. The mussels dish was our favorite. Garlic noodle was also really good. The salmon mousse, we couldn’t really taste the salmon in it but it tasted fine. We also ordered catch of the day dish (not shown in picture), the fish was light and crispy but the kimchi fried rice it came with was lacking; it tasted more like lightly seasoned fried rice—couldn’t taste the kimchi. Overall, the presentation was great and taste was enjoyable.”

“Great food and experience!”

“I love this Philz location because there are a ton of food options around it. The wifi is always solid and the baristas are very friendly.

I also like the floor to ceiling windows/doors that are open during the spring and summer 👏🥰

The only thing I wish is that Philz overall would bring back gluten free options. A woman can dream.”

“Great foood. Great service. Will go back. First time visit.”

“Get the wide noodles for soup, round noodles for dry!!!! The noodles are very QQ (chewy) and the portions are huge — I definitely could’ve split this into at least 2 meals, if not even three. The price is not too bad for the quantity. They are cash-only, although you order on a menu on your phone!”

“Love this place good place to eat”

“The patio dining is a great option but I heard the bar calling. A seat presented itself as I approached and prompt, professional service enhanced every drop of beer, both before and after lunch.”

“Not very crowded. They have nice indian curry pizza. We can make half and half puzza for 14” and 18” inch pizzas.
We took shahi paneer and chicken supreme. Chicken supreme pizza was yummy. They have 5-6 beers on tap.”

“I came here a few years ago and thought it was good. Recently came again and their roll meat to rice portions are not great, I prefer rolls with more fish/meat. The sashimi was fresh with good portions so maybe their nigiri is more worth here”

“local business with great breakfast served.”

“I was surprised by the large portion sizes. The waitress made great recommendations! Everything looks great, tastes great and this is a great go to spot I’ll go to whenever I am in town!”

“If spicy and numbing peppercorn are your things, then this is a good place or you.
It's a small, casual place with a focus on northern Chinese and Sichuan cuisins.
The portions are reason, but not generous. Prices are reasonable, but expect to pay 20 to 30 per person.
Rice is its weakest link. The grains are too dry and tasteless.”

“Ambiance ✅️ Food ✅️ Service ✅️”

“Very nice atmosphere and food!”

“This is my favorite Chinese restaurant, just discovered within the last few months. My extended family always goes out for Chinese food (we are Chinese) when we get together so we've been to many restaurants in Santa Clara County. Everyone in our big group thought it was very good.”

“謝謝好吃的晚餐！”

“Very good sushi place. Very easy access. I only had sushi there. The pice is very reasonable.i will definitely be back. We spent about $60 per person. But we ate a lot.”

“Came from out of town for work. Randomly stumbled upon this little jam. The 滷肉拌麵 is so tasty I don't know how to describe it. You would have to try it yourself. And it's only $10?! Where do you find cheap yummy food like this.They take credit cards, but no AMEX. Take out only.”

“edamame is bomb and so delicious. and service is the best”

“Great local winery in an excellent location for making fine wines”

“手工拉面不错，儿童友好，微辣的牛腩面也适合大人，总体不错，五星好评。”

“We arrived for an early dinner at 5:45 PM with easy seating and parking available. Was seated quickly and ordered via QR code. We ordered the Large Old Pot Sauerkraut Fish ($27), which came quickly and was piping hot. Fish was tender, vegetables and other ingredients cooked well, very flavorful. They have varying levels of spice for different palates, but the single chili pepper soup was just right for us. Pretty reasonable price for two people in the Bay Area.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Would recommend!

Wheelchair accessibility: Someone with a wheelchair should be able to get in. There are no stairs required.”

“Pad see ew was Delicious . Pad Thai was great, egg rolls was perfect Definitely will order again”

“Best ramen EVER ❤️ The tonkotsu is my all time favorite hands down!”

“Today is our first time trying the food here. We got Taiwanese tempura, basil popcorn chicken and grilled pork chop bento. All the food is yummy. For sure we will go back to try other food. 😋”

“Hands down the best bakery I have ever been to. And I’ve gone to France and ate at those bakeries but this one beats them. I can not recommend enough, it is a must have.”

“Food is always fresh and delicious. There’s always a variety of specials every week besides their main menu items. It’s easy to place an order and pickup. Try it; it will become your main takeout restaurant like it has become ours!”

“This place is so so fun! It's a hole in the wall on Main Street but it's a unique experience that I enjoyed.Good:- There are many different flavors of the hot dog, we tried the squid ink one with mozzarella and hot dog and it was quite chewy and savory- The rice cake one was simple, but lightly sweet and tasty too- The staff was really nice and gave us his recommended toppings and sauces which made it a fun experience- Cheap pricing so it's quite affordableBad:- Super long line so you'll be waiting a whileOverall liked this enough to want to come again another time! Fun unique and memorable.”

“Yummy sandwiches! Been here several times, tried a few things but so far the roasted chicken plus salami combo was the best. Wouldn’t have thought to put those together in a sammy but it was hella good. Of course, had to get it with Dutch crunch bread. ”

“I think the cream of the cake is not too sweet, has just the right texture and is very delicious. The cake design is simple and cute, and the fruit is very fresh, adding a refreshing taste to the whole thing. However, the sponge cake body is a bit dry, which affects the moistness of the taste. It would be better if it could be softer and more tender. ?”

“Staff here are great. Manager Joanna was so understanding I didn't realize they went cashless now. Excellent coffee, pleasant music and friendly staff. Thanks Joanna and team 👍”

“Yummy Salmon!!!! Varieties of Food!! Fruit waters & TV!!!”

“GET THE TAMARIND SOFT SHELL CRAB.

Looks great, execution needs a little work but by far the only good pho on the Cupertino side of San Jose! Pho noodles slightly overcooked, and the rib is grilled instead of simmered in soup. Soup is great though, and infinite fish sauce table side.

Also, egg coffee and sugar cane are surprisingly genuine; no shortcuts or fillers.”

“Good Service Good Yummies👍☝️🙏🏻”

“This beautifully crafted coffee shop is part of the Apple Park Visitor Center. It serves Italian coffee along with a selection of sandwiches and sweets. While the coffee and food are fairly standard, the atmosphere makes it a standout. It’s a great spot to relax and catch up with family or friends in a sleek, modern setting.”

“I love eating at red hot wok, probably one of the best Taiwanese restaurants in the area.
Recommended dishes: sizzling lamb with black pepper sauce( you can choose any protein with the sauce, personally I prefer lamb), three cup chicken, stir fried lamb with bamboo shoots.”

“Always have a great day at yummies”

“Food is nice and their tomato soup is my kid’s favourite. Their staff is friendly too.”

“These cookies are amazing! They are the right balance of sweet and soft! Tastes like homemade! I had the matcha white chocolate and mint chip. Both were amazing! I’ll definitely order more in the future! Yum!!”

“a nice casual bar and restaurant. the food is delicious and the service is good.”

“Good food in fun environment. Nice choices. A little more education about the process would have helped. I am older so the all automated menu was a bit off putting. However thevteam helped. A little bland in flavor. I would return. Check it out.”

“Amazing HotPot highly recommended 👍”

“Amazing. In my opinion this is the best pizza in the Silicon Valley. My favorite is the meat lovers pizza which has amazing cheese, amazing meat and amazing dough. The man that was there to give me my pizza was very nice. Great pizza would recommend!!”

“Very good for a Starbucks inside a store (Safeway, Walmart, Target, bookstores, etc.) I wouldn't compare it to a standalone Starbucks.I love the secluded sitting space after they remodeled away from the shopping hustle and bustle and it even has its own exit.The workers are nice and I saw today they had some holiday discounts on the coffee beans and cups that were better (steeper) than some other Starbucks with similar holiday deals.”

“Excelente servicio de lo mejor esta muy deliciosa 🍕”

“So delicious! They have the best fries with that crunchy outer texture and soft middle. The boneless wings are pretty great too. My favorite are the Cajun lime wings with ranch. :) There onion rings are amazing as well and I used the sauce that comes with them for my wings and fries as well. Can't wait to eat here again.”

“My daughter and I really enjoy the ramen.”

“I appreciate the they maintained high quality of sashimi, freshness of fish and beautiful cut according to the nature of the fish.”

“Indoor and outdoor dining. Great food, friendly service. Kimchee chige, bbq short ribs, ban chan and purple mixed grain rice was delicious. Plus the tofu is non GMO. 👍🏻”

“I once knew a girl, we worked at South West YMCA camp, jeepers was it 1984? Fast forward to 2002 I randomly saw her in this bar and time hasn’t passed. We said our goodnight, but this a meet zone that has legs…it’s an older established neighborhood bar, a meeting zone. You should check it out. From my experience, there are a few ground rules, ready?Be good or be gone…No matter the size of your entourage, you don’t own this place, we are all transitioning throughout, so calm down.The deputy mayor of the town is at the end of the bar. The local doctor is at the bar, the local plumber that will fix all of your issues is at the bar, so tread lightly before you blow this place up with your outside view.Back to my original point of view, you don’t own this place with your ca$h, they own the history and you borrow it for a few hours. Be good or be gone.”

“Our family loves Chicken Meets Rice. Such a delicious comfort food. Great service always!

Kid-friendliness: Kid-friendly menu.

Wheelchair accessibility: It’s a food hall with automated big doors so it has wheelchair accessibility.”

“Great place good ice-creams Many ice creams choices”

“Delicious lunch, good portions”

“Good tea, nice atmosphere, and great service! It's tucked into the back of the shopping center but its atmosphere is much better than the rest with good seating and tables. The staff were glad to remake a drink when I realized I made a mistake, and the servings are generous and fairly priced.”

“This cafe is a solid option to hang out or work. You'll find people from 14 up past 54 working on their laptops or chatting over boba. The Wi-Fi is quite slow so be prepared. The music is rather loud and one speaker kept stuttering, which was a bit distracting. The atmosphere is fine but one bench and seat are worn through. The boba teas are flavorful and made exactly as I wanted. It's also nice to have a clean restroom to use. There are tables for two or four people, shallow bars, and outdoor seating near the road.”

“A nice selection of baked goodies that are tasty at any time of day or night.”

“Friendly owner & employees. Clean & quiet”

“It was very spectacular that I tried this store in this location for the first time while I was taking a vacation in this area. I’m hopeful that I’ll go there again someday. Before I tried coming at this location, I had been to the one in Carrollton, Texas.”

“Nice, authentic Chinese restaurant specializing in noodle soups, but also has rice dishes and entrees. A decent size menu with lots to explore. Service and atmosphere is good.”

“The boss is so cute! Very funny and heartwarmingQuote: "It doesn't taste good just because everyone's taste is different.""I can't say it's the best, but it's really delicious.""Don't buy too much for your first time here. What if the taste doesn't suit your taste?"Although it is a bit salty, it is delicious. Recommended!”

“11/28/23 They now have Boba drinks and cold brew coffee, both of which I enjoy very much! The cold brew is great all by itself--was expecting to need cream and sugar, but it has a natural flavor that was great alone. The Boba is very well done here and neither overcooked nor undercooked. Try the iced mocha, and use decaf if you don't like caffeine as their decaf blend is very high quality and tastes great!Parking at De Anza is still free as of this date; no parking pass required at this time.”

“One bite everyone knows the rules…just had a baby and craved a large slice and these guys were so nice and the pizza tasted great. It was late and they still had the slices I wanted. Since I just moved down the street I’ll be back a lot”

“The boba here is good and the employees are nice. My favorite thing to order is the mung bean drink. I also like the ambiance of the store because it has trees and greenery which give it a good vibe”

“I kinda prefer this location to El Camino's because the Tie Guan Yin Milk Tea here has a more intense flavor. However, it's wise to check the wait time if you're using the Snack Pass. The place can get quite bustling, which is a testament to their popularity and the consistent quality they maintain. I've tried strawberry milk tea, the Taiwan classic, Paradise Peach with cheese foam, fantastic fruit tea, and Oats Fresh Milk Tea, and each one was great in its own way. The toppings are also equally good, such as the QQ noodles, grass jelly, pudding, etc. When it comes to food, the popcorn chicken is a must-try. At the moment, their version is more satisfying than or arguably up to par with Ume Tea and Shihlin.”

“One of the best Kebab wrap sandwich I have had. Very clean healthy and tasty. Also a very nice Persian store.”

“Fast delivery, good taste, suitable for family, friends, company colleagues to have dinner together, each dish has a taste, especially when it is served, the taste is super fragrant. Love it.”

“Good service was good, and very helpful. Accidentally mixed up my food but were willing to remake it.”

“I have tried the tea and it's one of the kind, price is so reasonable for a large size, you need to try when you are around the area, words can't describe until you have tasted the tea and judge for yourself.... highly recommended.”

“Good selection of healthy foods. Their beef is so tender . Fried rice is to die for. The chef Heli is so professional, very precise and amiable. Our waitresses/server , Maya, was so pleasant and attentive to guests . Next time I go back I have to try their seafood selections. My only complaint is the location . It should be out there along Stevens Creek like in Santana Row rather than hidden in that dark corner of the complex. But definitely I will recommend it to my friends.”

“This restaurant catered the recent fund raiser for the Cupertino Historical society and the food WAS TO DIE FOR! The best food I’ve ever had at such an event. Standouts were the pineapple rice, the vegetable pastries the chicken satay the pad Thai and cooked chicken on a skewer the desserts were great too - little candied strawberries and tiny slices of an amazing cake. We are staff and we were just swooning over the tastes of everything. I want to take my mom to the restaurant now”

“I visited the tea-tasting section and learned about their trademarked tea-espresso machine and the impressive variety of teas they offer. Nick was incredibly friendly and taught us about the ideal brewing times, tea quantities, and water ratios to make each drink. Highly recommend it to anyone interested in learning about High Mountain tea!”

“There are countless number of boba shops near our home in Cupertino but Ume is the favorite for my entire family. Kids and adults love this place. Not only do they have the best drinks and service but the snacks are delicious as well. Come try something new in Ume!”

“Have been coming here for years.

The food is always fantastic. The service is great. The owner Austin is the best.

I don't typically leave reviews, but Liang's is a favorite and a 5/5 across the board.”

“My daughter and I really enjoy the ramen.”
