“Love our little coffee shop in the neighborhood :)”
“Our family went to the downtown MV Pokéworks on Friday afternoon to do take out and were delighted to find this location on Castro Street nicely blocked off, shaded, with ample clean and widely spaced seating if you want to dine-outside. Really highly recommend this location of Pokeworks - you can order&pay online and the manager of this location is meticulous about safety and YUMMY food. They even have the Disneyland DoleWhip for dessert 🤤.”
“Nos gustan todos los sabores, estamos un poco adictos a las bebidas.”

“Came for a belated anniversary dinner and had the best time!! Every bite was so so delicious! Highlights include the crab appetizer, mackerel appetizer (the skin was insanely crispy and meat was juicy/tender), kanpachi, tuna with egg yolk, scallop (omg the plumpest scallop I’ve ever had), wagyu, and hairy crab (extra order, so buttery and rich). I thoroughly enjoyed my meal here and will definitely be back!!”
“Their chocolate mousse and cheesecake are absolutely delicious! The mousse has these deliciously crunchy little krispies in a layer between the mousse. The quality of the chocolate is fantastic! I also like the Los Altos location. There’s better seating over there.”
“This is our go to spot when we are in town for an amazing ice cream I would recommend this place to everyone if you’re with the family , traveling by yourself or taking someone special . The staff is great it’s always clean and the service is wonderful! Just a great all around pick for a delicious dessert spot !🍨”
“Pricey. But very high-quality. Had a CHICKEN CHOLULA, very tasty, a little bit spicy, enjoyed it. If you get the clam chowder (which is great), they’ll give you toasted pieces of sourdough with it. But if you rather have soft instead of toasted pieces of sourdough, just ask them.”
“It's a great vegetarian spot and really enjoyed some of the classic dishes like stir fry eggplant tofu, singapore lor mee, mapo tofu. Wouldn't hesitate to come again. Reasonably priced and plenty of parking.”
“The food was incredible. I wanted to order almost everything on the menu. So will have to come back at least couple more times to try everything to look good and we couldn’t order in one night. Our old fashion cocktail and blackberry Mojito were perfect. And I can’t say enough about considerate, professional service.”

“Thin bread from the outside and full filling stuffed inside! Fresh pickles and veggies so yummy! I like the spreading pate it so mild and tasty! Recommended saigonsignature number 6! I like brown sugar boba for the drinks! It’s great to go along as combos! I must try!”
“So good, high-quality, and fresh. I ordered two steak burritos with everything. The salsas are insanely delicious and spicy. The steak has an almost Argentinian asado fire-pit-style flavor. I love it. I loved the sweet, grilled onions and Serrano peppers that came as a side. Thank you guys for committing to making a great meal.”

“My son and I stopped by Mr. Sun for a refreshing boba treat, and it was absolutely delicious! We ordered the Mr. Sun Special with strawberry boba and another Mr. Sun Special with brown sugar boba, and both drinks were perfectly balanced, refreshing, and full of flavor. The boba was fresh, soft, and delightfully chewy, making every sip enjoyable.
The shop was clean and welcoming, and the service was friendly and efficient. It was the perfect place to cool down and enjoy a sweet treat together. We’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in the area. Highly recommend Mr. Sun to any boba lover! 🧋😊”
“We love Vaso Azurro and their friendly, family atmosphere and delicious food. We also love when the staff sings. However, last night, we found the noise level too high for conversation. We did not ask for the music volume to be turned down, so I'm not sure how that would have worked. The prices have zoomed in the last six months, but they have everywhere. The noise won't keep us from going back.”
“Delicious food, deverse menu, and very fast service. I have nothing to complain about.”

“Had such a fantastic experience today at Chaat Bhavan! I visited with my family, and everything from start to finish was just spot on.
The food was absolutely delicious—full of authentic flavors and perfectly prepared. Every dish felt fresh and satisfying, and you can really tell they put care into their cooking. The service was equally impressive—staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome.
What really stood out was the environment: clean, vibrant, and super comfortable for a family outing. It had a great vibe that made the whole experience even more enjoyable. I was eating food with the rhythms of their on going bollywood beautiful songs collection.
Definitely a place I’d come back to again and again. Highly recommend if you’re craving great Indian food with top-notch service!”
“We eat at this restaurant whenever we drive to Mountain View from San Jose. Looks like it got a facelift under the new management, with big TV, sound system and decorations. Now they bring the food to your table. We had Veggie Burrito. The price was very reasonable, the service was quick, the burrito was good size and tasted good. Gabby took our order and she brought the food to our table. She was extremely friendly; she checked with each customers to make sure they are happy with their order. The music was bit loud and she lowered it at our request. This is a good place to go if you want a quick bite, good food at a reasonable price.”
“Everything was delicious, especially the stinky tofu, pork intestine rice noodles, and lamb spine hot pot. The stinky tofu is the best I’ve had in the South Bay, and the seasoning on both the lamb spine hot pot and the rice noodles was just right. Highly recommend!”
“Excellent food, bier selection, and outdoor seating! Traditional fare is fab as is the fish & chips.”
“Definitely the paella and the desserts”

“This spot is definitely one of the best around! The drive-thru moves smoothly, even during those late-night cravings. Every time I’ve come through, the customer service has been top-notch, friendly and efficient. As for the food, it’s always been on point. Never once had to return anything or toss it out,
now that’s saying something!”
“Wonderful experience. Gem of an omakase in all of the Bay Area. Amazing quality and service. The dishes came out quickly and it was a memorable night. I recommend getting a drink to enjoy with the meal.”
“A good Chinese restaurant with above average food. We tried the cabbage and pork boiled dumplings, the steamed pork soup dumplings, and the pan fried pork soup dumplings. The pan fried soup dumplings were the best – good flavor, crispy bottoms, and juicy soup inside. The boiled dumplings were only okay. I thought the pork filling for the boiled dumplings was a bit musky, and I found a piece of gristle in one dumpling. The steamed pork soup dumplings could have used more soup but were otherwise fine. We also ordered a side of cucumber salad, which was decent overall but a bit salty and garlicky. The service was brisk and professional. They brought us rice for no extra charge – a nice touch. We thought the atmosphere was pleasant overall, with warm lights and plants.”
Takeout Restaurants
“Great food and fast service! The restaurant is small and cozy, and there is often a line during busy hours. The braised rice noodles were flavorful, the meat was tender, and the crispy pork bun was delicious with plenty of filling. Portions were generous and prices were reasonable. Definitely worth the wait and would come back again!”
“I love this place so much, I cone very often, especially when I work full shifts because my job is very close to the point I just walk to it.
Every time, no matter the circumstances food is great and so is the service.
On Tuesday I called for a pickup order at 3:05 and without any hesitation they filled it and had it ready so fast, food was warm and just delicious. They close at 3:30 so they could have easily told me no, or just could have been not the happiest, but the complete opposite! They are always happy, very friendly as well. I love this truck so much, and you guys are very genuine, humble people. Thank you for always making a great meal, and keeping a smile on your face! You guys are the best! Have a good day :)
Btw I have not had a bad meal at all here! Everything is so good!”
“Love their foods, so delicious and fancy will bring my family & friends there again!!”
“The service was great along with the explanations of our Pho choices.”

“This place came highly recommended and it did not disappoint. I went on word of mouth without discovering it was cash only. After a little hunting and finding several ATMs on Google Maps missing or broken, I was able to get cash at Bank of America.
I came for the Baked Pork Bun, but also tried the Egg Custard and Red Bean Paste Mochi Roll.
The Pork Bun was HUGE, and the best I have ever had. The owner gave credit to the dough being mixed by hand rather than machine. One is intended to be a meal. I was worried at its size it would fall apart, but it held together. Light, fluffy, and delicious. I was a little concerned when it was taken from rhe warmer and put in a microwave for 15 seconds, but it did not negatively impact the result as far as I could tell. BEST EVER!!
The mochi was more tender and soft than I have ever experienced, and in the most wonderful way. I am used to stretchy and chewy mochi. This was mlre delicate and silky. They look haphazard, but the texture and flavor completely makes up for it.
The Egg Custard was much mlre like a flan in a French pastry as opposed to what I expected of a South Asian Egg Custard. I expect if you like flan, it was good, but my preference is the variety that is more like sweet red bean paste than flan.
I wish I had taken pictures before I ate it all.
I look forward to going back again soon!”

“*I was in the neighborhood with friends and looked up the nearest bar. O'Malley's came up. We were welcomed right away with a big smile! The bartender was funny and full of energy. She made cocktail suggestions and they were tasty! As we left, she said goodbye and invited us back on Saturday. We asked her for her name and thanked her for a great experience. Thank you, Rosemary we will be back!”
“This is a nice go to spot but be warned it's not your avg sit down dinning area. Consider more of a ghost kitchen with a name attached. They offer alot of the standard food items but are restricted to certain days for more popular menu items. Service is friendly and fast.”
“The speed of service was supersonic. Everything was cooked well and the portions are large! I would definitely come back. I was very hungry and didn't get any pictures! However I recommend the bento box! The tempura was crispy and the vegetables flavorful. I also had the California Roll which was yummy. I appreciate a roll that's not more rice than filling and these were perfect!”
“A long overdue review of our favorite hangout spot in Downtown MV. It's got everything you want: good food, wine, and service. They have a great wine club that does free tastings once or twice a month, too. It's a fantastic deal. We are grateful to have a fun place like this in the neighborhood!”
“The rasmalai 1 lb cake was delectable. Our group finished it in one seating. Absolutely wonderful cake! The staff was very sweet and polite. Vini was able to change the sweetness level to 50per cent.”
“Attended a vendor event here and it was a great time.
Food wise we had some appetizers, which were good, but the beer is what really stood out. Great selection in my novice opinion.
The staff was friendly and gave advice to those of us who hadn't been to this restaurant and/or had German beer.
Other people seemed to be having a great time as well and it was lively but we could still hold a conversation without yelling.”
“Been going here my whole life. We know the family and are very close. Amazing food, amazing service, amazing atmosphere.”

“Quite good option for Shanghainese food in South Bay Area.
The Xiaolongbao has thin skins and juicy. The crab Xiaolongbao is not fishy.
Pan fried buns are juicy too. They have cute shape and are pretty. Not as greasy as the traditional Shanghai pan fried buns.
The fried green beans are umami and tasty so we have ordered twice.
The Shanghai salt pork w. vegetable rice is also a hit.
Sweet and sour pork ribs: the ribs are quickly fried to cooked so a bit tough. But the flavor is quite okay.
We like it a lot! It’s close to the neighborhood. Food is not pricy and has reliable good taste.”

“This Papa John’s here goes above and beyond for people, especially their night crew. The manager will do anything and everything to make it right. Anna in the kitchen is an amazing cook. She takes her job very serious and make sure every pizza is done to perfection. not to mention how clean the store is when you’re there I would definitely have this pizza 🍕 more often and this is towards the nighttime crew and manager”
“Tried this pizza place after hearing a few good things about it, and it turned out to be a pretty solid choice. The pizza came out hot, the crust had a nice texture, and the toppings tasted fresh. I ordered a large pepperoni and was happy with how generous they were with it. The staff was friendly and checked on us a couple times without being overbearing. The place itself was clean and had a relaxed vibe. It wasn't the absolute best pizza I've ever had, but it was definately one I'd order again. Overall, a good local spot if you're craving pizza.”
“Was excited to try Tony Gemignani’s “Apricot Fields” slice (exclusive to Mountain View), and he did not disappoint. Chalk up another winner that went great with our Cal-Italia, and the Wise Guy. A little Hot Honey and extra fig preserve allowed us to add a custom touch as each desired. Can’t even complain about the wait for a closer Slice House, because I know Tony Respects the Craft too much to rush any location before they are up to the highest standards. Bravo!”
“Bacon Burger was delicious today. Remember having juicier patty when I was at the shop last year. I have been craving for it since I stepped into USA 9 days ago but had the chance only today. Was disappointed this time round but the food was delicious nonetheless. Could have been better. Will try another outlet before I leave for Singapore”

“We had the most amazing dinner at the restaurant. We were there all weekend. The staff is amazing. The food is out of this world. If you are in the area, you must stop there thank you. I’ve never eaten such an amazing pasta dish and I love Italian food and you guys nailed it and let’s not even start with the lamb chops. Omg. I need to come back again soon.”
“This was my second visit to Hyderabad Dim Biriyani and to my surprise the food was so much better and well prepared. Our mutton curry was little undercooked but once we mentioned about it the owner right away took care of us. I wish if they can make their naan for $4.—-little bigger. Also they should give some extra napkins to the customers so that they don’t have to ask for every little thing. I will recommend you to go and enjoy the food. It’s always good to complaint to the owner/manager so that they can take care of you and rectify if there is something wrong. #papihanandy”

“I have been here a couple of times. Today, I asked by an order of three al pastor and one of chorizo. But when paying I did not realized the chorizo one was not included. When received the order I noticed chorizo was missing but was not charged neither. So the person kindly told me no worries I will do it now. And when I was going to pay he was don't worries is ok. This is what i call amazing customer service. When you care your customers this is what you do and guess what I will be back no only because tacos taste great but for that type of service provided to me. Super recommended place.”
“Stopped in for a quick caffeine fix and treat at Craftsman and Wolves in Mountain View and left satisfied overall. The latte was beautifully poured with excellent leaf art and rich flavor, and the wolf-themed cup was a fun touch. I went with the striking pink cherry-topped pastry — it looked Instagram-worthy with the glossy burgundy center, fresh cherry, and gold leaf, and tasted bright, fruity, and nicely balanced between sweet and tart.
The pastry case was full of creative, high-end looking options and the menu has solid variety (great sandwiches and yogurt bowls too). Service was efficient, though the space felt a bit tight during peak time. A polished spot for quality coffee and pastries — worth a visit if you're in the area.”

“Crumbl Cookies totally lived up to the hype for me. The first thing that stands out is the size—these cookies are huge, thick, and definitely made for sharing, although honestly I didn’t want to. I tried a few flavors, and each one felt rich, soft, and freshly baked, with that gooey center that makes you keep reaching for another bite. The rotating weekly menu is such a fun idea because it makes every visit feel different and gives you an excuse to come back. Some flavors were a little too sweet for my taste, especially with all the frosting and toppings, but if you love indulgent desserts, that’s part of the appeal. The pink box packaging is also cute and makes it feel like a treat even before you open it. Overall, Crumbl is more of a fun dessert experience than an everyday cookie stop—perfect for sharing with friends, family, or satisfying a serious sweet tooth craving.”
“My family and I came to have breakfast at our friend Cesar’s restaurant, Casa Mia. They have two locations—one on Blossom Hill and another in Mountain View.
The food was absolutely delicious, and Cristian, our waiter, was incredibly friendly and attentive. We had a wonderful experience from start to finish.
If you’re looking for a great place for breakfast or lunch, you definitely need to check it out! 🍳☕🥞 Highly recommended! ❤”
“I have to give a huge shoutout to the team at Nick the Greek! I placed an online order and left a note mentioning that my falafel hadn't been cooked well in the past. Not only did they make sure it came out perfectly crispy this time, but they also threw in a free sauce AND left the sweetest handwritten note on my order slip. It's such a small thing that takes so little effort, but it means so much as a customer. it TRULY shows they actually read the notes and genuinely care about getting it right. This kind of above-and-beyond service is rare, especially with online orders where there's usually zero personal touch. You just earned a loyal regular. Thank you for making my day!”
