“Went for Lunar New Year and staff was super friendly in suggesting dishes from the menu that I haven't tried before. All of them were awesome including a hot pot and a sweet desert soup. Besides, the eggplant in spicy garlic sauce and sauted wide noodles with seafood were some of the best I've ever had.“
“Who isn't all about an aesthetically cute place serving great food? Getting together with my friend, we decided to meet at Farmhouse Kitchen, a place we both enjoy! This was my first time at their Menlo Park location and aside from the space everything else is similar--Instagram-worthy decor, elegantly styled dishes, and warm service. The interior is quite spacious with booths and tables for small and large parties. There's also an outside patio, though the CalTrain is right across and quite loud. We were taken care of throughout our meal by the hospital and friendly workers, without it being overbearing. The thing about Farmhouse Kitchen is that they know how to make their dishes appealing to both the eye and mouth. Dishes include traditional and non-traditional Thai foods. My friend and I both had the Yellow Curry with Tofu and a Side of Jasmine Rice. Though we weren't asked for the spice level, the curry was sweet and flavorful with a lingering spice. It was on the runnier side and I wish we did get more rice to enjoy it to the full extent. Portions were decent and we had leftovers--but note that dishes are on the pricier side. Farmhouse Thai Kitchen provides a cute and creative Thai cuisine dining experience. They have multiple locations around the Bay. Their Menlo Park location is off Merrill Street with limited street parking in the area. This is a place I enjoy going to occasionally but wouldn't seek out.“
“Excellent vegan chinese food spot that is all about the good food and the incredible hospitality of the owner Alice. She is incredible. She remembers your name and dishes you ordered and how you like it. She goes way above and beyond. And the food is excellent whether you are vegetarian or not (but especially if you are). The atmosphere is hole in the wall, but who cares. It's perfect.“
“I've tried the Daeho in japantown SF and I've had the Daeho in San Jose...but I feel like this Daeho tastes the best??? I'm not sure if it's the meat quality, portion sizes, flavor or what but this is my favorite location out of all the Bay Area locations.Daeho specializes in galbi-jjim, which is Korean braised beef short ribs in the most delicious sauce. You MUST get the cheese on top because they torch it at your table and it makes for a great IG story haha. I also like to get rice cakes in it. The large size can feed a table of four.The spice level is kind of inconsistent among the chains or even on certain days. I usually get spicy and I thought it wasn't spicy, during my most recent trip. (Maybe my spice tolerance went up? Maybe the chef just made it less spicy?) If you're unsure what spice level you are, I would err on the side of less spicy because you can always add spicy to it later.Aside from the beautiful galbi-jjim, I think everything else on the menu is pretty good. I like to pair my galbi-jjim order with a cold noodle to offset the heat. I think the soups here are so good. Their galbi-tang (short rib soup) is perfect on a cold day.“
“The udon deluxe was good but the more I ate, the more salty it tasted. They also didn’t put a lot of meat in there. The creamy salmon udon was good. Takoyaki was just meh. Had too much mayo on it. Eggplant tempura was good just a little greasy. Atmosphere was very nice. Service was slow but it was because there was only one server working and she was really nice.“
“will probably become my go to hand pulled noodle spot in fremont. got to try the minced pork, braised pork belly, and chili oil noodles. chili oil with wide noods was my favorite by far but they were all delicious (and it might be worth it to get an extra order of noodles since they're super generous with the sauce). pig ear and seaweed salad were also both solid!“
“The service from the waitress is great. She loves the hot and sour flavor. Now I want to eat it every day, but it’s a bit far away, so I go there every week. My son also likes it very much. I usually add powder for him to eat, and he is very special. I like sausages and beef. I also like beef. My husband likes their radishes. All in all they are delicious. I hope there will be another restaurant nearby.“
“One of my all-time favorite sushi restaurants. Always busy and always worth it! Haven’t had anything there I haven’t liked yet.We typically order the omakase and add a couple more items like the toro and blue shrimp. Their plates are delicious as well, but I definitely recommend the omakase hands down.The reason I love their omakase so much:1. Always fresh, always yummy2. They season based on the fish. So, they don’t just have one sauce that gets added to everything. There is a journey to taste.3. You get a dessert!As I said, place is always busy. If you are able to make reservations, recommend that but I sometimes have a hard time reaching them over the phone. Otherwise, get there 15-20 min before they open and prepare to stand in line for a bit.“
“Overall an enjoyable Ramen experience. The ramen joint is no-frills with a few types of ramen offerings and add-ons such as Chicken Karage and Gyoza. Their red king ramen has a great balance of spice, garlic, and umami flavours in the broth - of course, you can adjust many aspects of your dish based on your liking. The only con is that they always have long lines, and there is no waiting system so you have to stand in front of the shop, rain or shine. However, lines do move fast enough that it feels worth the wait.“
“Cocurry was here forever, but even the last time we came, it wasn't the same. Kong Sarang, on the other hand was hopping! The place quickly filled up after we arrived. That always happens to us. We ordered the seafood pancake and the combo of pork belly and tofu soup. They quickly served us with 8 varieties of banchan. I was a tad disappointed that we didn't get asked like the tables around us if we wanted any refills on the banchan. I felt like once we ordered and our food came out, we turned into red-headed step-children, and they forgot about Dre. The food was good. Comparable to Tofu House in Newark. The seafood pancake was hefty. She's a big girl. One could get full just off of that. We probably would return if in the mood for Korean food.“
“Hands down. This is worth all the good reviews.I recently moved to the Bay Area and was looking for a new Thai place to call my favorite. I'm super glad I came to this one!I had the spicy fried rice, and they were all coated well with seasoning. For those who like spice, although this dish is categorized as spicy, it isn't. It's more like a 3 out of 10 for me.All good. Just ask for chili sauce!My partner and I had the mango sticky rice as well.Portion is small but really good if you aren't trying to roll out of a restaurant!I loved that they fried and salted the mung beans on top of the sweet rice. Together with the semi sour mango, the flavor profile is great!Definitely recommend giving it a try.Price is fair for the portion, and the flavors are well done!10/10! Will be back.“
“I never… EVER leave reviews for food because I feel like everything is based on bias… BUT I came here with my family last night 20 minutes before they close, not only we were treated very well, the food we wonderful. Yes it’s cheap Chinese food but come on, is hard to find good ones these days. They definitely earned a big family as loyal customers. Thank you for the hospitality ?“
“Found this gem in downtown mountainview, craving for hand pulled noodles. I was surprised with the al dente texture of the noodles in broth and over sauce mixture. The spicy beef noodle soup was tasty. The broth was clean and little with subtle spiciness. The sliced beef is not as tender as I would have liked. It was more chewy than tender. I really enjoyed the braised rib noodle dish- the flavor with the fresh veggies was good and the noodles was cooked perfectly. Definitely order the dumplings! We also order the pork and cabbage pie- it was a big flat version of a fried dumpling. I really enjoyed it! The service was good, the staff were friendly and attentive! They also took our orders at the table.“
“This was the best Thai food I ever had. It was sort of like Chinese style on the portion size of each dish it's sharing dish. Fried fish was my favorite it was very delicious, it's must have! It has sweetness to it, it balance out. The spicy fish soup was very spicy but it's spicily good! I asked medium spicy but it still pretty spicy so if you cannot handle the spiciness don't get medium level, get lower level for your comfort. The chicken was also pretty good, with their in house peanut dressing, paring very well together. I got the Chai Tea. Their food overall is great very delicious. The server is good, but little bit of English barrier but that's no issue at all that is also mean the food is good. And it was!“
“I haven't ordered the food here yet BUT I have stopped in for the boba many times. They have such a unique boba tea menu from mango pomelo sago to tiramisu lattes along with regular boba tea options as well. I'm way more impressed with their boba tea menu and quality than Boba Guys right across the street. There is also a convenient little kiosk at the front where you can input your order which is nice if you're an introvert, are indecisive, or have anxiety ordering things (lol). My only complaint is that I've tried ordering the boba online for pick up a couple of times and the system hasn't worked for me. I'll input my order, get ready for check out, and as soon as I input my card and press finish it says "oops there is an issue". I tried a few different cards (and know my credit cards are fine) and it still does this. Not sure if that's an issue on my end with internet, etc. but it's happened a couple of times. So I'll mostly just order in person and it's fine. The restaurant side has a mom and pop family feel to it. I'll have to try the food sometime soon!“
“Came for a team event with 6 people. Had to sign up and wait for a table. But didnt take long.We each ordered a noodle with some apps to share. All the food was great. Super authentic northwestern food. Prices were standard bay area prices.Would recommend for a quick meal.“
“I wanted to go to this place based on the design and food. The food and service is great, but the problem is how the inside of the restaurant. It feels bland inside due to the choice of colors and there are hardly any decorations. It also feels hot inside too, but it’s probably because of the hot weather outside.There are rarely seatings here due to the size of the place. I really like the Pho, however. I wouldn’t really wanna dine here due to atmosphere. Maybe next time, I’ll just do a takeout.“
“Bing's Dumplings has very authentic pork soup dumplings and "spicy and sour noodle soup with minced pork and potatoes". Bing's pork soup dumpling is at lease same or even better than Shanghai's famous "NanXiang" pork soup dumpling. The spicy and sour noodle soup is originated from China's ShanXi province, I had lived in it's capital Xi'an for a few years and had my first "spicy and sour noodle soup with minced pork and potatoes" there. The potsticker is also yammy. We always comes back to Bing's for the nostalgic food:-)“
“The namesake sushi, eighty-eight roll,was great and nicely presented with poke pieces on top. The regular rolls: spider, Philly, and Negihama had chewy seaweed (not a crispy bite) wrap and not as fun and tasty. The agedashi tofu was nice and the hot sake was generous. They were busy so they couldn't always check when we needed water or additional ginger to add flavor to sushi.“
“Oh man, this place is spicy!!! No joke. Delicious flavors though. Came over the weekend, husband got the most popular dish (spicy), I got some beef tendon noodle soup dish (not spicy, supposedly...). So thankful that the spicy meat comes separately so you can decide how much to put in your noodle soup. Husband put three spoonfuls and he was chugging water throughout his dinner Mine was surprisingly spicy, and I thought it was a non spicy option!! Even the noodle and broth by itself was spicy! Flavors were very good though. I also had to chug water throughout dinner Would like to come back, and maybe bring an extra side meal for my toddler since the non-spicy side dishes were a bit limited. Friendly service, clean restaurant. Surprisingly packed for a Sunday night! Excited to see new restaurants pop up on 25th :)“
“Whoa! 5☆ Excellence! Great Fresh Fish on a Monday, let me tell you: When you order something CRUNCHY here, it is! No cold, soggy dish room tempura or deep-fried - it is HOT and CRISP - crackle in my mouth GOOD. So excellent here - fantastic bar service, great comfy vibe and deeeelicious sushi. I will be back fo' sho'!“
“I've been wanting to try this new place because it kept popping up on yelp. We went for lunch over the weekend, so there was no wait. The inside is brightly lit and clean, but there weren't too many tables. We ordered through our phones and received our food quickly. We got the original beef pork bone soup and the tomato beef brisket soup. It was a fun experience putting everything into the soup and cooking it, it was like a personal hotpot. The meat was very good and the soup came with tons of noodles. The other toppings were good, but I wasn't a fan of the romain lettuce that it came with. I thought it was going to come with cabbage, but it was lettuce. I personally don't like hot and soggy romaine lettuce, so I was disappointed when that was the main vegetable. On the bright side, both soups were tasty! I enjoyed trying this place, but I don't think I would come back.“
“The noodle soup is the standout dish at Noodle Talk with big portions at reasonable prices. The extra noodle serving for only $2 gives you a giant bowl of additional noodles in broth which I highly recommend for sharing purposes. We also ordered the fish hotpot and I wasn't as impressed, the fish had a strong fishy flavor which I didn't enjoy as much but they did add a little bit of spice to balance it out.“
“If you’re looking for a place with authentic Vietnamese cuisine, you’ve found it. The people here are kind and genuine. I have nothing but positive things to say about the culture they bring to this area. Do not miss out on an opportunity to eat here. Especially if you’re from out of town!Kid-friendliness: They don’t mind kids. All types of families here.Wheelchair accessibility: It’s all tables you can remove the chair from and put a wheelchair“
“Been going here since I was 17 years old. Watched the kids that help out grow through out the years. Everything in there including the decors has been the same. It’s like a Time Machine. Loved the beef fried rice and the garlic fried chicken.“
“No line when I got there around 6pm on a weekday. I got shiro tan tan men, braised pork belly appetizer, and my friend got the tonkatsu ramen. Good quality noodles, but the broth is on the salter side. The pork belly appetizer reminded me of Vietnamese braised pork, and it definitely needed to be paired with rice...plain white rice. I tried with the ramen, but it only added more saltiness to the already salty ramen.“
“Honestly unexpectedly good food. The dumplings are top notch. The restaurant feels really messy and a little unhygienichonestly, although the staff was friendly.I see a lot of people to take out which I guess makes sense. Worth trying the dumplings for sure although if the owners clean up the place there's a lot of potential.“
“Great sushi. Not enormous portions but the prices reflect smaller sushi rolls. Great sushi, it came out very quickly. Staff was incredible and very nice. Would recommend. They have seating inside and public seating outside the restaurant. You can tell many people do carry out here.“
“Best chinese i ever had in the san mateo area. nothing compares to the taste and quality of the food. i have been to this location quite a few times over the years and it's always good. Large quantities as well. My favorite dishes include peking duck, salt and pepper fried oysters, shrimp fried rice, and honey walnut prawns amongst many others. the only thing i could say bad about this place is parking can be an issue. i always order ahead and arrive early to find proper parking to pickup.“
“Just discovered this place! Didn't know it was so close to work. It's like a little hole in the wall. What makes it a great place is their stuff is fresh. They make their own dumplings there too and you can probably watch them from outside making them. Their food tastes so good and service was super quick. We were expecting to pay a lot but the prices here were reasonable. Will definitely come back!“
“We had spicy tuna rice cake and both types of Ramen. Shoyu Ramen was better than Tonkotsu, though a bit more oily than we enjoy. Tonkotsu was very bland - it required more salt and spiciness. Crispy rice with Spicy Tuna was great.They do have 16% service charge.“
“We went to Araki Sushi for lunch. This lunch spot is located in the heart of what we call college row in Palo Alto. We were greeted immediately when we walked in. Given waters until everyone decided what they desired to drink. The menu is full of foodie possibilities. Two Friends got the Chicken Teriyaki Bento's. It includes soup, salad, steamed rice & 4 pcs California Roll. She added deep fried gyoza. Nicole enjoyed Eel Eggs. I forgot what it was called.... Ivan and Steven ordered the lunch special Roll combo. Any 2 Rolls $18.95. Any 3 Rolls $22.95. They're served with soup and salad. I enjoyed 8 pc deep fried California Roll. The portions are huge. They create everything fresh in front of you. Happily to say, we were full and ready to nap but hi ho back to work we go. Well definitely come back soon.“
“i've never seen an asian cuisine restaurant with rhinoceros horn sushi! the food was loud, but delicate. intense, but calm. flavorful, but dry. this food took a toll in my life. some could say i was trippin off the perk. who's the better travis? t scott or t kelce? i'd like to say that the chiefs are being carried by mother tay tay. did you know recently travis scott played fein at his concert 10 consecutive times and causes a small earthquake? fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! fein! do you like normal goldfish or extra cheddar? i like rainbow goldfish!“
“Toppings: crispy pork is the most impressive topping by a mile. Then pork feet is also great with generous portion. Brisket is too chewy, not my favorite . Other toppings are good but does not stand outSoup can be improved from my opinion. That’s the reason of the missing star.It is worth a try!“
“I kept passing by here so finally decided to give it a try!Plenty of parking next to the restaurant, and I was a little surprised the place was quite empty on a Sunday at noon. Maybe most people take it to go? The restaurant itself is nice and bright, all the tables looked clean and inviting. The server was very friendly and helped me with the menu since it was my first time there.The dim sum dishes looked interesting, but I wouldn't be able to try many dishes just by myself, so I ended up ordering the chicken garlic noodles. I was surprised there was no way to add tip on the credit card payment, and had to dig out some cash.The food came out pretty quickly, the chicken portion was... small. The food isn't exactly cheap, my entree plus a drink was $20 pre-tip. The garlic noodles portion was good, but just didn't have many pieces of chicken. With 0 other sides (veg?) the dish just looked a little sad. Anyhoo, the food itself tasted good so I'm still happy with the meal. I took about half the noodles home to eat with other stuff later.Overall a pleasant experience! Will come back and try some other items next time!“
“Taro San Japanese Noodle Bar is famous for its hand-made noodles. They are the heart and soul of the place. On a recent rainy day, indulging in their Wagyu signature noodleb bowl couldn't have been more satisfying. It easily secured a spot in my top 2 favorite restaurants at Stanford Shopping Center.“
“Lots of seating inside and out. Service is very friendly. I come here regularly for the pho ga. The broth is delish and always wonderful on a cold day. Went with friends today and they got the grilled pork with noodles and another plate with rice. Everyone was happy with their food and plenty for left overs!“
“The service is amazing! We accidentally ordered the wrong beef dish and they replaced it with no problem. The place is very large and we were able to store my kids scooter next to our table. Also love that it's very kid friendly- We normally get the q buns, soup dumplings, spicy beef roll and pot stickers for the kiddo“
“We ordered the Hand-pulled Laghman which was very good! Noodles were fresh, veggies and meat were tender, and the sauce was very flavorful.As an appetizer, we ordered the Gosh Naan, which was a pleasant surprise. There was less meat in it than expected, but the meat was very juicy.In terms of service, it was a little bit slower than some other places.However, definitely still recommend stopping by, food was delicious!“
