“Great Desi Pizza! Highly recommend 🙂”

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

“Nice little fancy restaurant in downtown Mountain View. The food seems a bit Americanized, but that wasn't a problem for the chow mein. The salt and pepper fish, on the other hand, was clearly tailored towards the American palate.”

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

“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.”

“Best Al Pastor in the area. When they finish your food there will be a little basket to the right. This is the chip basket. Ask politely for some chips and they will give you some. Then walk across the street to the park, find a bench in the shade and enjoy an amazing burrito!”

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

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

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

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

“We went here before a concert at Shoreline, and are very happy with that decision. The place is takeout only, but there is a decent amount of seating in the area – just be prepared to be vigilant to snag a table if it's busy.

The food itself was exceptional, with tons of delicious options. I loved both of the curries we had – our favorite was the paneer tikka masala – everything was wonderful! Just a note that the order can take a while, so be prepared for a 25-30 minute wait when it gets busy.

Would happily return!”

“If you're looking for somewhere with tons of vegan options, this is the place. It's a comforting restaurant right off the main road and the service is always great. Attentive staff will make sure that you always have what you need while dining in or even when grabbing to go food.”

“We went to the San Jose location a few years ago, so we were really happy to see them expand to the Mountain View area! The place was packed on a Wednesday night, but everything was still well organized and the food came out surprisingly quickly.

Overall, we had a great experience. Everything we ordered was fresh and delicious, but the rice pilaf with lamb shank, stewed mutton soup, and Amina yogurt with almond were the highlights for me. The portions were great and very satisfying.

Service was amazing as well. We’ll absolutely be back for more!”

“Very nice restaurant, ordered lamb noodle soup, got really delicious noodles and good broth. The place overall is sparkling clean. The downside - it's pricey, $22(tips included) for a bowl of noodles is way too much. But on Fri during the lunch time the place was nearly packed

Update on Oct 2026
4 stars confirmed 👍 Excellent food, especially noodles, clean facilities, very good and nice service. The only downside - a bit pricey”

“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.”

“I have been visiting this place for over a decade and it's consistently a great place to have dinner with family, friends, or co-workers. The food is good. They have lots of vegetarian and vegan options and they are clearly marked on the menu card which makes it so much easier.

The service is friendly and prompt and the best part is they sing a birthday song for you in opera style if you're celebrating a birthday.”

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

“Had a great experience at Four Seasons Tea House Hot Pot! Really enjoyed our meal and would happily come back. A lovely spot to enjoy hot pot with family or friends. Highly recommend!”

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

“Authentic Japanese sushi that lets the quality of the ingredients shine.
Each piece is delicate and melts in your mouth.
The chef explains each course as it’s prepared, making the experience relaxed and memorable.
A wonderful place to share with someone special.”

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

“I really wanted to give this place 5 stars but as a vegan there were a few very disappointing things:
their online menu is not up to date. I was really looking forward to some tofu dishes but those don't exist at all at the restaurant. Seconds, some of the menu items are marked vegan, such as the veg biryani. Thankfully I asked the server and he said it's not vegan. He offered me instead some fried rice that was flavorless... not sure I'll go again which is sad because we live very close by.”

“I work overnight so I go to lunch at about 12:30 1:00 every night. It's about the only thing that's open in vicinity And the ladies to work there magnificent every time the food great every time. I never have any issue. They're doing a great job”

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

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

“Excellent cakes and consistently outstanding service!!

We ordered an eggless mixed fruit cake for our son’s birthday, and it was absolutely delicious! We’ve been ordering from this store for over 3 years, and the quality, taste, and service have been consistently excellent. We’ve also tried their pistachio and Black Forest cakes, and both were equally delightful. The cakes are always fresh, flavorful, and made with great care. It’s wonderful to have a bakery we can trust for our family’s special occasions. Thank you for consistently delivering such a fantastic experience. Highly recommend to anyone looking for delicious cakes and reliable service!”

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

“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”

“This place is actually the best!! Boba is delicious and cheap, so many options and pretty fast especially in comparison with other downtown places :D The lady is genuinely the sweetest person alive, she once brought my boba out because I was scared of my bike being stolen!! I’ve gone here so many times with friends and alone and it’s consistently amazing 😋😋

For those wondering my go-to is a reg mango tea or milk tea 50% sugar, less ice, mango jelly and big pearl boba, enjoy!”

“great place and nice food”

“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”

“They make their own boba here with Konjac and it’s really good. Chewy and healthy! Drinks tend to be on the sweet side so go lower than usual. I typically do 50% but here can do 25%. Have a lot of non dairy options too”

“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 .”

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

“delicious tacos and friendly staff. ☺️”

“grilled cheese/ with veggies”

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

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

“An interesting place to stop for lunch if you’re at Moffet Field. And it has a dog friend patio. The bar was closed on the Wednesday we went, but the grill was open.
This was apparently the former Officers Club building and sits across from the looming Hangar One.
Both the patty melt and Philly cheesesteak were tasty.
Don’t miss the Moffet Field Museum across the street.”

“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.”

“Ran in for a milkshake and was in and out quickly. Girl was alone and doing a great job. As always, great ice cream!”

“Welcoming atmosphere, very kind staff, and wonderful food!”

“A Mountain View classic, as most kids in Mountain View grew up with their donuts.

their sandwiches are a bit pricey, compared to many other South Bay Area Deli’s, but it is worth it because their sandwiches are so darn good. The sandwiches are also very large.

Their Dutch crunch roll is my favorite go to, along with their roasted beef sandwich their turkey sandwich and their avocado BLT.

The ambience used to be super homie, but since they moved to this new location, it’s more modern. I sure do miss the old school ambience. I may also be biased because it’s nostalgic.”

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

“Las pizzas están bien ricas”

“The Doppio Zero Pizza will change your life!”

“The food was absolutely delicious! Everything was flavorful and well-seasoned, and the noodles were especially good. The portions were generous, and all the ingredients tasted fresh. Definitely a great spot if you’re craving something flavorful and satisfying. I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“BEST BANG FOR BUCK quessabirrira in the BAY!! They even give you grilled onions/jalapeño that I'll gladly eat out of trash if clean!! (Shame on you for not eating such healthy items but TY!!)”

“very great service, one of the best I had, will repeat”

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

“I don’t often leave reviews but this is my favorite place on Castro! Everyone is sooo friendly and pizza is delicious as well! So much better than Doppio Zero!! A hidden gem in the neighborhood🍕”

“Among the best Japanese food in Mountain View/Los Altos/Palo Alto area.”

“Great food and good service. Always have got delivery from them and loved their sashimi. Today they put in the effort and helped me sort out a tricky situation with Grubhub. Thanks a lot for the help!”

“Stopped in for a Coco Mango and that one really worked for me The mango tasted fresh, not syrupy, and the coconut rounded it out. Cute bunny cup too 🙂”

“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!”

“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.”

“The best fish and chips in Mountain View & the tarter sauce is amazing! I highly recommend!”

“Wow, never have I had an experience so well rounded. From downright good people, to amazing food this place is definitely the place to go if your looking to support small businesses on a budget. I could never recommend a local place that has stood this long as a cornerstone of the community!”

“Fred’s is the best Monday trivia and Thursday Karaoke”

“I ended up grabbing a coffee here before heading into work, and it turned out to be a pretty good choice. The latte had a smooth flavor without being overly sweet, and the blueberry muffin was fresh enough that I wished I'd grabbed another one. The place had a relaxed vibe, not too loud even with a decent crowd inside. The staff were friendly and kept things moving, though my order took a couple extra minutes than I expected. Nothing major tho. Overall, I'd happily come back when I'm in the area and need a solid cup of coffee.”

“Amazing! Lovely bagels and great customer service!”

“Things have changed a bit recently! We loved our visit to the course last week! Fairways were mowed beautifully, the greens were impeccably smooth and fast... and the deli made an awesome, thick and juicy burger with fries! Of course I had to make a few purchases at the Pro Shop also... nice merch! I can't say enough about the enjoyable atmosphere, and friendly service from everyone... Thank you for a very happy day on the Course!”

“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.”

“Really enjoyed the bagels here! High quality options to choose from but if you’re late in the day, may not be many left! Definitely check it out if you’re nearby to satisfy your bagel desires 🥯”

“*Writing this review as I shove my shrimp burrito gluttonously into my face*

Customer service: The woman who greeted me was very sweet and made me feel welcomed.

Food: the shrimp burrito was very fresh and filling. You could taste the freshness of the lettuce and tomato. The salsa was really good too! Their hot salsa has peanuts in it and it gives it a unique flavor reminiscent of Vietnamese peanut sauce. The Jamaica was super refreshing and not too sweet.

Vibes: it’s a chill spot to enjoy your food, even eat in your vehicle. I was able to take my dog on a nice little walk around the block while I waited for my food & it was ready when we got back to Petra’s.

Def recommend giving it a try!
I wanna come back and order one of the desserts- the photos look so yummy 😋”

“no frills, but exactly what you want from a donut shop. perfect. Also, it’s worth going at 6am when the donuts are warm, as they’re meant to be enjoyed. The staff are super friendly and nice as well.”

“Hands down, the best latte I have ever had! I ordered the PB&J Latte, and it was absolutely phenomenal. The flavors were so fresh, smooth, and perfectly balanced—I finished the entire latte in about two minutes!

I’m visiting from Alabama and was in town for work, and my only regret is that I didn’t discover this coffee shop on my first day here so I could have gone every day. I’m actually so sad I’m leaving town tomorrow before they open because I would 100% get another one before I leave!

I will never forget this coffee, and I cannot recommend this place enough. If you’re in the area, you absolutely have to try the PB&J Latte!”

“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!”

“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”

“grilled cheese/ with veggies”

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

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

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

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

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

“We had a party of 10 seated in the covered patio and it was perfect. The food was exceptional and the service was outstanding. We ordered the west coast style salmon bowl, summer seabass, fish and chips, mixed catch, sashimi trio sushi bowl, wagu cheeseburger and pupu pupu platter appetizer to share. Everything was delicious. We had a wonderful experience and will definitely be back.”

“We were walking along Castro Street late on Halloween night, looking for somewhere to eat, when we came across this ramen spot. It was still quite busy, but we got seated right away. The kitchen was closing in about 10 minutes, so we had to order quickly.

I went with the chicken tantan ramen, while my friend ordered the tonkotsu. Both were enjoyable! The broth had a lovely depth of flavor, the chicken was nicely prepared, and the toppings, along with a drizzle of chili oil, brought everything together. I also appreciated the portion size—it was satisfying without being one of those enormous ramen bowls that are difficult to finish.

We didn’t try any appetizers, but the ramen alone was enough to make a good impression. Definitely recommended if you’re in the Castro Street area!”

“Hands down the best bakery in Mountain View area”

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

“Stopped in for a Coco Mango and that one really worked for me The mango tasted fresh, not syrupy, and the coconut rounded it out. Cute bunny cup too 🙂”

“Nice place for Indian food”

“We had the lamb wrap & the chicken wrap. SUPER SUPER tasty, very fresh, made with love and unique. And they’re real cool/ chill they even competed us some Turkish tea. You should try this place out.”

“As a northern Chinese person, I don’t think there’s ever a limit to how much I love steamed buns and other fermented-dough dishes! I’ve been searching for good, authentic baozi in the Bay Area for a long time, and I’m so happy I finally found this place.

Seeing so many different kinds of buns to choose from made me incredibly happy, and they even had my favorite tofu buns! My only little disappointment was that they didn’t have fried chili peppers, only chili oil. If making them is too much trouble, can I bring my own next time? Haha!

Everything was delicious, and the service was so warm and welcoming. Thank you for putting so much care into making your food. I’ll definitely recommend this place to everyone I know and will be coming back again! ❤️”

“I don’t usually write reviews but OH. MY. GOD. Sourdough & Co has officially ruined all other coffee for me 😭☕ Sydney made me the BEST coffee I’ve had in forever and I’m still thinking about it hours later like it was a life changing experience. The coffee was smooth, rich, perfectly balanced, and somehow tasted like happiness and emotional support in a cup.

Sydney was also insanely sweet and had the kind of positive energy that makes you feel like you can turn your whole life around after one iced latte. I went in for a water cup left with coffee and soup she’s awesome.”

“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!”

“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.”

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

“The Chole Bhature had an authentic Delhi flavor! This is the first time I’ve tasted real Delhi-style Chole Bhature in the Bay Area. Absolutely delicious—I would definitely come back!”

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

“I've been coming here for the past several years. It's always great for a quick week night dinner. I also don't have to worry because everything is made fresh and healthy.”

“Tasty baked staff, very strong coffee. Good atmosphere, fair prices. The only disadvantage is that it is on a main road, a bit noisy from the passing cars. Anyway, we enjoyed it.
Recommend.”

“The pan fried buns are beyond excellent! They also had an off-menu pork short ribs appetizer that we really liked. The Shanghai noodles were pretty bland but everything else was delicious!”

“Today's dining experience was truly delightful and soul-satisfying. We enjoyed Kadhai Paneer, Paneer Butter Masala, piping-hot Tawa Roti, and Gobi Manchurian.
The perfect balance of spices and the freshness of the food were evident in every dish. The paneer was incredibly soft, and the gravy tasted absolutely exquisite. The Gobi Manchurian was also amazing, boasting a wonderful crispy texture and flavor.
If you are a fan of vegetarian food and are looking for high-quality taste, this place is absolutely perfect for you. It was a truly heart-warming experience!”

“I was craving something sweet after running a few errands, so I decided to give this cookie shop a try. The cookies were fresh, soft in the middle, and had just the right amount of sweetness without being over the top. The staff was friendly and didn't rush anyone, which made the visit feel relaxed. I ended up taking a few extra cookies home, and they were still pretty good later that evening. It's not the kind of place I'd visit every day, but when I'm in the mood for a treat, I'd definitely come back.”

“Best tacos in the area with homemade tortillas. I also love their tlacayos. Sooo good. The only complaint I have is they are often not at this location or their hours are unpredictable, so just something to keep in mind!”

“Cleanly renovated by the new owner, the place now has very nice ambiance! Service was reasonable. Perhaps it would have been better if our arrival was not so close to their closing time.

The food was okay. Sashimi seemed well agrd and tasty. Pieces were good size also. The other stuff needs some improvement. The combo tempura were quite greasy. I wonder if the temperature of the frying grease was not high enough to result in crispy, non-greasy coating.

Reasonable value for lunch. Dinner price would diminish the value if the food is about the same.”
