“Best place for pastries and bread in town. Nothing fancy, just great pastries.”

“Ordered al pastor taco. Meat was nicely marinated and well cooked.
Served with cucumber, lime and radish. Free chips and salsa bar.
Favorite spot to grab a taco.”

“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.”

“friendly staff, monstrous upon great broth”

“Just happened upon Paper Platez, so very glad we did!! Food was phenomenal service was great. It was fun talking to the owners.”

“Got a burrito was really good. Our server , Sylvia recommended a margarita…it was great. So…great food, great drinks and great service.”

The staff is great it’s always clean and the service is wonderful! Just a great all around pick for a delicious dessert spot !🍨”

“Great food, Friendly staff.”

“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.”

“Great Desi Pizza! Highly recommend 🙂”

“The services is always good! the burger was fine.”

“this is the best deli ever. all the food is good”

“Hands down some of the best Sichuan Roasted Fish I’ve had. The fish is perfectly tender, soaked in a rich, numbing broth that packs a serious punch. I loved the variety of toppings—the cauliflower and bamboo shoots are flavor sponges. Large portions make it perfect for sharing.”

“Pizza calzone was amazing! The desserts were so delicious 😋.”

“Great food truck. Quick and easy just how it should be. Usually tacos are my go to lunch favorites and thought of trying them out as they are closely to my office. Would come again for a quick bite.”

“I've been coming here for twenty years!! Always the best food , best staff , drinks and perfect location DT Mountain View. Love this spot! #highlyrecommend”

“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 🤤.”

“My first time being here, I got the chicken biryani and it was delicious! My server Kruthi (sorry if i spelled that wrong) was also very sweet and attentive. I‘ll definitely be back!”

“Indoor seating has reopened. Always the best coffee in town, by far!”

“Nos gustan todos los sabores, estamos un poco adictos a las bebidas.”

“great place and nice food”

“Get the Diablo Chicken! You won’t regret it. Not too spicy but super savory!”

“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.”

“This is my absolute favorite place for catering big parties! Every time I host an event and order from here, all my guests genuinely appreciate the food and ask where it’s from. That says a lot.

The quality is always consistent — which is so important when you’re catering for a large group. The taste, freshness, and presentation never disappoint. On top of that, the quantity is generous, so you don’t have to worry about running short when hosting.

I’ve tried other Chaat Bhawan locations and similar restaurants, but this particular branch stands out for me. The flavors are just right, the service is reliable, and the overall experience gives me peace of mind every single time.

Highly recommend for anyone planning a party or gathering — they truly make hosting easier!”

“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.”

“Come by once a week. Really love Rose black tea latte, taro green milk tea, mango green milk tea earl grey milk tea. Especially their rainbow and mango boba. Highly recommended!! I loooooooove!”

“Have been going to this place lately. Fresh and delicious. The price is pretty good for 1 combo with sides.”

“The tea adds a nice smooth and subtle flavor to the broth, haven’t seen this anywhere else. The atmosphere is cute and nice upstairs. Good quality meat for the price”

“We had bao, soup dumplings, dumplings, onion pancakes. They are all very good. Maybe bao wrap was a little bit too thick. But its all hand made in the back of kitchen, hand pulled noodles too. Over all is very good.”

“Fully vegan restaurant with a decently large menu! As everyone recommends, ask for spicy (even if the item is already marked as spicy). Their Thai ice tea is also really good. Don’t miss their black pepper vegan chicken (E11)!”

“Very friendly and attentive wait staff. I ordered a glass of wine and before I had a chance to finish it a fly decided to take a bath in the glass. The glass was promptly replaced with a fresh pour.”

“Excellent food, bier selection, and outdoor seating! Traditional fare is fab as is the fish & chips.”

“Kimmy and I looking for a wine lounge to relax found savvy. Good selection of wines by glass and menu. Friendly service 80 90 music with comfortable couches 🛋. Given choice of indoor or outdoor seating. Highly recommend and kimmy gives two paws 🐾 up.”

“We went here with our 1 year old and it was a great experience! Staff was very friendly and the ambience was good too :)
We tried the heart attack sushi and the mango crunch sushi and both of them were very tasty.
Would definately recommend this place!”

“Absolutely wonderful experience that I felt fortunate to have. The food was top quality and prepared expertly. I especially appreciated how thoughtful and attentive the host was. I highly recommend this dining experience.”

“We had a wonderful dinner here, with boiling beef and pumpkin cake. We also got the beef bun. All were delicious. We love the atmosphere and deco inside. There’s also free ice cream! Highly recommended for anyone with young children, or those who enjoy a good atmosphere - it feels like a real restaurant in China. Highly recommended!”

“The service was great along with the explanations of our Pho choices.”

“Awesome ambience Nice place to hangout Cocktails were too gud”

“The Doppio Zero Pizza will change your life!”

“Really really good BBQ meat, tasty, tender, loved it. The service was good too.
Great portion and it was priced reasonably.
Would 100% visit again!”

“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.”

“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”

“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!”

“They have wall outlets and nice chairs! Customers were happy about the free $9 meal we gave them today”

“The popcorn chicken and drinks are legit, no complaints there. The only thing holding this place back is the staffing. It gets seriously slammed during peak hours and there just aren’t enough people to keep up. Hire more staff and this place would be a solid go-to”

“este es lo mejor de lo que probado la recomiendo por editor de facebook el bagabundo i ueces el cobi 19 i Rigoberto Muñoz ochoa ide las páginas del amor de mi vid”

“This tea cafe has been around for a while. I like the quality of the green tea and the location in the Downtown Mountain View makes it a good place to visit after a meal. For a long while, it has more reasonable and lower price than other boba tea shops. Lately its price has unfortunately increased too.”

“Great, friendly service! Food was yummy too!”

“delicious tacos and friendly staff. ☺️”

“Great sushi! Must get the omakase nigiri or Toyosu special!”

“It is really tasty food. The broth I think is eapeciallly tasty.

To start I think it’s pretty quick to get a seat, even though the restaurant seems quite busy. The service also seems quite quick and you order quite fast. Seems like there is also a lot of customization available on the menu for the noodle. Once we ordered it wasn’t too long till we got the food.

Overall the food is really good. Texture of the noodle is good, flavouring is good, and spice level is good as well. I didn’t think it was too spicy which was nice.

Pleasant experience”

“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!”

“grilled cheese/ with veggies”

“great 👍 love grandma's special been going there for years!”

“I just found this place very luxury coffee shop /bar /restaurant
It'sa separated from Maxwell hotel but probably a part of it with different intrances ,I was mistaken this place for a hotel didn't know there is a coffee shop and restaurant here ,check it out you won't regret it great for romantic dates in front of fire pit or fountain ⛲,or inside with live music every Fridays/ Saturdays”

“Love their foods, so delicious and fancy will bring my family & friends there again!!”

“I’m not usually that kind of person that likes to leave reviews!! But this place is awesome �!! Great food, clean place, third time here and will definitely come back whenever I’m in the area .”

“We have not been here in many years. What a pleasant surprise they still deliver the same great quality food and service. And now, they have outside seating too. They still have the traditional carts roaming around the dining room with delicious choices. We liked that the classic dimsum fare was still being served and they do not scrimp on portions, unlike many dimsum places in Millbrae and Daly City. The shu mai was juicy and large, as were the shiu bao. The tofu skin wrap had a lot of filling instead of several layers of tofu skin. The ham suy ko was plump and crisp on the outside but chewing on the inside with a good amount of filling. We came for a late lunch but they were still full. Their service was friendly but brisk and efficient. The place was clean and pleasant. We will be back!”

“Been going here my whole life. We know the family and are very close. Amazing food, amazing service, amazing atmosphere.”

“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!”

“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.”

“Food at Zareen's is great. Unfortunately, at this location (Mountain View, near Shoreline Cinemas), they only have takeout food and a bit of outdoor seating. All of the storefronts around them are vacant, so I hope someday they get some actual eating space!”

“Fresh air and warm . Food was awesome and they give you yours moneys worth”

“Hands down the best bakery in Mountain View area”

“10/10 experience!! If you are looking for amazing sushi in Mountain View, this is the spot! Joy Sushi is a true hidden gem. I ordered a takeout meal consisting of special rolls and a sashimi box, and the quality was outstanding. So yummy and fresh! On top of the great food, the service is excellent;they are so kind and thoughtful with their preparation.”

“Amazing! Lovely bagels and great customer service!”

“Came and got a super burrito and it wasn't bad but I honestly don't remember much about it. They're parked up on the curb where the car wash is so no parking lot but you can park on the street but be careful when crossing because people drive a bit reckless in the area and aren't paying much attention.

I want to come back and try their tacos so may provide an update if I get the chance.”

“Karaoke with KJ Mallory Every Wednesday night from 9pm-1am.”

“Ended up going here on a rainy day. Located on Castro St, was very central, plus the place has a very nice vibe. The Somm was actually very helpful and really made sure we enjoyed what we were drinking at night. A friend tried the flight which then followed with more and we enjoyed the flatbread which came piping hot from the kitchen.”

“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.”

“Food is bomb!! Service was good, the catfish and shrimp and macaroni OMG!
You and their biscuit was good. I got to be honest with the atmosphere we got here early so I don't know what the atmosphere is we got here Early?”

“A bit of a dive, but in a fun way. They have pool, darts, TVs and a digital jukebox. They carry an impressive selection of beer on tap, from the most basic, up to some very decent craft beers. You'll also usually find a cider or hard soda on tap and they carry bottled an canned alcohol too. Yes, you can get White Claw here. Bartenders are usually pleasant and quick to acknowledge your presence. If in the mood for food, theres always at least one food truck out front, sometimes two.”

“My Facebook post: "There are many places I can get coffee to start my day, but few with quality that meets the need of the soul 😋"”

“They ran out of beer and the waiter just ran down the street to get more! Great service!”

“Great food at reasonable prices..great selection..friendly folks..”

“Very delicious and tasty food. One should try it once.”

“my first time trying their honey lavender coffee and I love it. I love the ambience and their succulent decor”

“Normally I do not care to give a review, but bro the food here just impressed me so much… damn it is delicious and not expensive ……pho was great, rice was awesome …they use 柴火米, which is rare offering in Bay Area”

“The staff is super friendly, always greeting you with a smile. There is a sense of familiarity. The food is GREAT and at an amazing value!! Seriously my go-to place!”

“The tea is amazing! Very well priced and many options. If you dine in from next door, you can get $1 off per person when you order a drink from the restaurant. I guess they are doing a collab.”

“son muy ricos los helados 😋”

“Einfach top. Immer wieder ein Besuch wert.👍”

“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.”

“Their gluten free wraps allow me to eat any of their sandwiches. I’ve tried their veggie and tuna fish so far. Both very good. Give them a try.”

“Just a little hole in the wall but delicious! Got an egg, sausage and cheese breakfast sandwich, did not disappoint. Fresh and the egg was fluffy. There’s no seating inside so plan on taking it to go.”

“These guys are amazing! They catered my daughter’s graduation party and it was delicious! They were very helpful, and they did everything from set up to cleanup! Thank you!!!”

“I stopped by this food truck one evening for dinner, and as a big taco lover, I try to visit taco trucks or taquerias whenever I can. This truck is located in a gas-station parking lot—actually a fairly large, open space—and the overall setup felt tidy and well maintained.

One thing that gave me slight pause was the salsa and garnishes (lime, cucumber, radish) being kept uncovered and placed close to the road, with cars constantly passing by. I’m not entirely sure about the food-safety aspect there. That said, the truck itself looked clean and organized.

I ordered four tacos—two al pastor (my all-time favorite) and two chorizo. The tacos were served quickly, and I could see the rotating spit for the al pastor, which is always a good sign. The tortillas were proper corn tortillas, and the tacos came with grilled onions and jalapeños on the side. Everything tasted good and satisfying.

They also offer other items like tortas and more, but for me, tacos are always the first choice. While these weren’t the absolute best tacos I’ve ever had, they were still very enjoyable. My standards are admittedly high since I’ve eaten street tacos in Mexico City, so take that into account.

That said, this is a solid taco spot, and I’d definitely recommend stopping by—especially for the al pastor.”

“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!”

“Been going here my whole life. We know the family and are very close. Amazing food, amazing service, amazing atmosphere.”

“Have been going to this place lately. Fresh and delicious. The price is pretty good for 1 combo with sides.”

“great dancing, good options for all levels of dancing, friendly crow however, no live DJ and music tents to be repetitive with the list they have. You can memorize some songs after a while.”

“Just happened upon Paper Platez, so very glad we did!! Food was phenomenal service was great. It was fun talking to the owners.”

“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.”

“The Doppio Zero Pizza will change your life!”

“my first time trying their honey lavender coffee and I love it. I love the ambience and their succulent decor”

“The popcorn chicken and drinks are legit, no complaints there. The only thing holding this place back is the staffing. It gets seriously slammed during peak hours and there just aren’t enough people to keep up. Hire more staff and this place would be a solid go-to”

“We visited this restaurant twice during our stay in Mountain View. Everything we ordered was good; the arugula salad was very tasty, while the salmon and steak were just okay. The service was great.”

“Very good food and nice people”

“great eggs Benedict, great service. lunch on the patio 😆”

“Foods always onpoint. Good service. Gets noisy on weekends but if you like to drink, it seems to be a happening place.”

“grilled cheese/ with veggies”

“Their food is so good it should be illegal!”

“Awesome ambience Nice place to hangout Cocktails were too gud”

“Great place for a quick and delicious lunch or dinner. I had the Korean BBQ and loved it, the meat is perfectly cooked and goes well with the sides. Portion sizes are generous as well.”

“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”

“Steins is a great restaurant with a wide beer selection! They also sponsor the annual MV Oktoberfest!”

“Hands down the best bakery in Mountain View area”

“These have to be some of the best tacos I’ve had in the bay. I feel like I was just transported back to Mexico. If you’re in the area, you should absolutely stop by and try them!!!”

“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!”

“Delicious food, deverse menu, and very fast service. I have nothing to complain about.”

“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.”

“We ordered food from Idly Express Milpitas via Uber Eats. Excellent food quality, with good packaging. Everything tasted fresh! Thank you Idly Express!!”

“Most amazing cookies I've ever had. Great for bunko treats or any small get together!! I send my mom cookies instead of with flowers on mother's Day!!!! They were a hit and there is a crumble 10 min from her house. Perfect!!”

“Love the food and the atmosphere!”

“This place is a small, tucked away, quiet little spot. Not far from Shoreline. Nice vibe...reminded me of little Mom & Pop restaurants I used to visit in Japan. Sushi, sashimi, and eel dishes are highly recommended. Very authentic.”

“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! ❤”

“Love the ambience here. Such a nice spot to sit, work, or just unwind for a bit.
Their coffee lattes and food didn’t really stand out to me, but the Adeni chai fully makes up for it. So good that I keep going back just for it.”

“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!”

“The food was so good.

My husband and I made a quick lunch stop here and we weren’t sure what to order. He is vegetarian and I’m not. The owner was very sweet and accommodating. She offered us a couple of choices on and off menu so we could enjoy her food. It did not disappoint. Everything was flavorful and reminded us of our time in Mexico. We’ll definitely be back and maybe even bring some friends with us too. 😊”

“I’ve been here multiple times, and every time I find myself wondering why I ever go anywhere else for coffee if C&W is simply the best. I’ve tried a variety of espresso-based drinks, and the Americano and latte are absolutely top-notch. The food is always fresh and tasty, which makes the whole experience even better. Highly recommend!”
