Restaurants in Foster City

“Went there craving for sushi and omakase experience, and this place did not disappoint!

Each dish was creative, thoughtful, well-presented, and very delicious. The chefs explained each dish in details and made the experience interactive, which I really liked. We learned a lot about the different ingredients, why they were selected, and how they prepared them. Not typical in omakase places where they would just mention the fish and moved on.

The service was also top-notched, well-prepared, and friendly, which makes the atmosphere is cozy and relaxing. I just wish they play some musics in the background.

Note that their sake flights come with free one refill. So you would get 6 instead of 3 for the price. I thought this was a bit strange. Not sure why they didn’t just price for one portion, but we finished the double portions anyways haha. They have good sake selection!

I would highly recommend for special occasions or if you are simply into creative dishes. They rotate their menus every month or so. I would love to see lunch menus so I can enjoy it more regularly.”

“Some of the best hot pot I have had and the customer service was great”

“Just open in Alpharetta GA location, excellent food, service! Cute Outdoor Patio with two flat TV’s. Looking forward to go back soon.”

“Warm and friendly spot. If the Rack of Lamb is offered… do not pass it up, it was a Culinary experience!”

“Very good service, great food fair price”

“Great find and will be back often … loved everything about this place”

“Awesome Thai food, very friendly people. Hard to find dishes like pad kaprao, Thai sausages, and more authentic Som Tum than often found in Aus. Really awesome will be back. Thank you. :-)”

“Great place to go for chinese fast food . All their menu items were delicious and they also pack in the food in The container . Can't go wrong with this place.”

“Great food. Good portions. Our server is very nice, friendly, polite and professional.”

“I think they updated their menu which is great. There are lots of vegan option or menu you can turned into vegan.”

“I come here many times, it was always nice food but this time disappointed. Shawarma wasnt tazah( fresh) maybe from the previous day and too much white sauce in it. I got only 3 bites. I gave u 5 star this time coz l loved their food before.”

“I am so glad they opened this sandwich spot! I ordered 5 items for takeout and it came out to only $34. I got 2 veggie sandwiches on Dutch crunch. Best sandwiches in San Mateo County. I also tried their 2 dessert options. They have the bst carrot cake I have ever had! Their chocolate chip cookie tasted very rich. I had their veggie soup which was fresh and delicious. This place is my new go to spot. The location is a little awkward, but the inside is organized and clean. It only took 10 minutes to make my order. Definitely a satisfied customer!!!”

“Delicious food and great service. We love many dishes from this restaurant”

“ラーメンと言っているが、そばや焼き鳥など日本のメニューが複数ある。 日本で食べるような美味しさは無いが困った時やどうしても日本の味が恋しい時などは行ける。 まあ、悪くはないとおもいます。”

“The food was so delicious and the service was really great👍”

“I want to take a moment to give a big shout out to the crumble cookie and Foster City.Simply amazing customer service clean facility and is friendly as can be.It was a great experience.I went in for the first time this last weekend. Thank you.
For a wonderful treat and great customer service”

“Sara’s cookies are amazing!!! Yum Yum Yum”

“When the food first came out, it was quick, warm and tasty! However, the next day I ate the leftover for dinner I am quite shock from the amounts of cooking oil. I know that good Chinese food doesn’t need a lot of cooking oil for it to taste good, so I am disappointed by that. I had to throw away the rest of eggplant dish because I am pregnant and isn’t good for me. Although the service and setting/environment was great. I might try again but I will request to limit on the oil. To me it’s more of a Chinese-American food, almost like Panda Express.
The 3 dishes plus 18% tips, appx $75.”

“Stoped by for a fresh breakfast to start the day. I was promptly greeted and helped to order an omelette. I dined in and enjoyed the breakfast. It’s nice to be able to get freshly prepared food close to the hotel to start the day out. I’m looking forward to trying out lunch next time in town.”

“Great sushi at a fair price. The presentation and service are amazing! The restaurant is very clean and has a lot of window line which makes for a pleasant dining experience.”

“Sad to see them closing locations but twenty bucks for a so so pulled pork sandwich that cost maybe 5 bucks,,twenty dollar minimum for a burger prices are insane”

“Simply the best coffee! And teas. Great bites. Quick healthy meals. Service is friendly. Quality people and product. Consistent. It’s a favorite for a reason!! Check it out. (If you haven’t already!!)”

“FC resident, haven't been to this location in a loooong time. Our last visit pre-pandemic was not great, so we haven't been back. My wife was jonesing pancakes, so we decided to go. Surprisingly, the food was good, although it was served in substantially smaller portions than what all restaurant portions used to be like. However, service was outstanding from all team members. I recognized the manager and asked him how long he has been there, and he said over 20 years! He had other employees there longer than him. Bottom line: great service, food was good and a fair value. Recommendation - improve the quality of coffee, which tasted like flavored water.”

“great hours
sometimes long lines
makes trying
to grab and go from
daily specials pre made
stored in fridge
behind crash wrap counter
a slow process.
still worth it only other stores open after 9 p.m.
in that shopping veneer are cvs next door and Safeway further on other side.”

“I last had a meal at Tai Wu about 12-13 years ago. The quality of food hasn’t changed, and has been maintained at a good standard. I hope they will stay open as long as possible as I no longer reside in the Bay Area.”

“The boba was nice! We did order via the digital screen and the option to customize sugar/ice was not offered. Or did we miss it.
We were at the place 6:30 pm on Tuesday. The only customers. The order took a loooooong time.
It’s a peculiar thing that they still seem to have their Halloween decoration out :). It’s end of February:)

Plenty of parking at the plaza.”

“Father's Day brunch ran out of crab legs right as we sat down at 12:15, told us continuously it “would come out in 10 minutes” never did. At least don't lie to us about it”

“Great value and taste for the price, the greek salad has nice portion and the grilled chicken is tasty, as I usually say the rating is always considering the fact that this is a fast food place and not to be considered as a 4 star restaurant. But I would recommend if you are in a hurry and want to try something different and more healthy for a fast food.”

“It's a good shopping place especially when it comes of many/or bulk. The Price is very competitive than others Stores coz wholesale Prices is different & make u some Savings...”

“Went here on a whim during the weekend. Wasn't very busy thankfully. They were very accommodating to my 2 kids and wife. The food was great and my kids loved their smoothies. Would definitely come back if I'm in the area.”

“Today on 5/22/25 I had the task of picking up coffee for my office. Lisa was absolutely so kind, and helped me package all of the drinks, and helped me out to my car. Thank you Lisa for being such a kind soul! The world needs more people like you.”

“The best sandwich I've had in a very long time. Thank you for having such delicious gluten free sourdough bread. 😋”

“I regular visit this place from couple of months and order only French fries, cheese cup cake and sprite. Fries are really good but sometimes it was small and cold. But only hot fries taste are good”

“This is a typical Hong Kong-style dessert shop. I ordered White Snow Black Pearl and I will order it every time I go to Hong Kong. My boyfriend ordered Yangzhi Manna, and I thought it tasted pretty good. I’m really happy that I can still eat authentic Hong Kong-style desserts in the Bay Area.”
