“I was not a big fan of Momo's but this place converted me! Now I dream of having their tandoori and other Momo's. It's a pinch on your wallet though but I still need to eat it regularly!”
“Definitely the paella and the desserts”
“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.”

“The experience of dining there was next level. From start to finish they have perfected the dining experience. Food, staff, and ambiance was five star!”
“This hotpot is pretty good! We have lunch special for 2 people and it’s less than $60 in total, but we have a lot as the pic below, 2 meets, 3 veggies, 1 entree, 1 plum pitcher and 1 free passion fruit pitcher. Also, the food is really fresh, and we just choose mild mild spicy which is just right. Previously, it’s very spicy even if we choose the least spicy level.
Happy to eat here for lunch ;)”

“Amazing food made with care by great chefs
Not just amazing sushi but also some very interesting side dishes
The chawanmushi was so good and satisfying
Great for special occasions
Full from just the omakase”
“My favorite boba place anywhere! Anytime I'm visiting the Bay Area, I make a point to stop by to complete my trip. The ingredients are fresh, and it always tastes homemade. I'm a creme brulee fan and their creme brulee boba is almost worth the cross-country flight itself.”

“This sushi experience is worth every penny, especially for those who appreciate the highest quality fish. Sitting at the bar, you’re able to watch the chef carefully select and prepare each piece, showcasing the exceptional freshness of the ingredients. The fish is melt-in-your-mouth tender, with each bite bursting with natural flavors that highlight its top-tier quality. Whether it’s the buttery richness of the toro, the clean, sweet taste of the uni, or the delicate, perfectly cut slices of white fish, every piece feels like a celebration of freshness.
The chef’s expertise shines through not only in the preparation but in the way each piece is crafted to enhance the natural taste of the fish. The quality is on a whole other level, and it’s evident in every bite. While the meal is undoubtedly an investment, the unparalleled freshness and skillful presentation make it an unforgettable and worthwhile experience for any sushi enthusiast.”
“Wide variety of drink options. Drinks taste great! Place was busy Saturday night. Only con was one of the workers had trouble understanding me but they got another person to translate. Good service.
Drinks - pistachio jasmine delight, crème brûlée Thai tea, strawberry rose”
“Solid fried chicken, was very juicy and the fries and biscuit were amazing. I opted for the white meat and shrimp combo, I'd probably skip the shrimp next time (they were good but it was so much food), think the meal and a drink was 27 and change.
Will definitely be back, don't suggest eating inside though it's a bit small and very warm inside.”

“Welcoming atmosphere, very kind staff, and wonderful food!”
“The atmosphere is amazing, the staff absolutely darling and polite as well as very professional! The food was out of the world! Steak was tender and very flavorful thank you!”

“By the time I got my fries it was cold. I was craving some good, hot fries but by the time I got through the drive through it was luke warm and cold. I didn't enjoy it. Since I was on lunch I didn't have time to get off, park and ask for another one. Overall this location is on point. I rather have cold fries then hot and unhealthy fries some where else. I actually returned the following week and the fries was awesome. Fresh off the fryers. 😋”
“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!”

“I went to this place for first time 2 days ago. The staff was very polite. I was a solo customer and they found me a spot where I could comfortably sit by myself. Big plus was a cushion on the bench that made it more comfortable to sit. Right away they brought me a miso soup to start off. I ordered 4 different rolls and they were all delicious. My favorite was the California Crunch Roll. The place appeared very clean and well maintained. I will definitely return to try more of their dishes!”
“Cute little BBQ place in Mountain View, close to the 101 freeway. The brisket was moist and flavorful, and the Mac and cheese and bread were both delicious. However, the tri-tip was over cooked and not seasoned well. The parking lot is small and undergoing some construction, so limited parking spots.”

“I came across this wine bar after having dinner in the area. I’m so glad I did! Super impressed with their wine selection - I loved that they supported local wineries and they were so knowledgeable about all things wine. Everyone was super friendly and just had a great laid back energy. Am definitely going to be coming back.”
“If I could give the service 10 stars it would still not be enough. This is more than just a restaurant you go to for food and drink. It’s a place to eat, relax, enjoy your time around the beautiful interior and have a great experience.”
“Das Bierhauz is a hidden gem for beer enthusiasts! 🍺 I'll definitely be back when I need a good brew and a relaxed atmosphere.

They offer a great selection of snack foods 🥨 and pastries 🍰, perfect for pairing with their extensive beer list. We especially enjoyed the pretzel with cheese and mustard. The pretzel itself was perfectly baked – warm, soft on the inside, and slightly crisp on the outside. The cheese dip was creamy and flavorful. I only wish they provided a bit more mustard, as it was delicious!

“I ordered an eggless and sugar-substituted birthday cake for my mom and was trying this place for the first time. It was a very pleasant experience right from placing an order to pick up. I was able to customise the cake to be eggless, sugar-free and less creamy. The cake was very tasty, soft and just as desired!

“A delightful find in Mountain View - local favorite boba place that has won Best of Mountain View awards several years in a row. Bobas are super soft and chewy! I would like my Hazelnut milk tea with stronger tea flavor and my husband’s Dark Plum smoothie to be slightly sweeter at 50% sweet. Not too many sweetness levels in some drinks - it’s either 100% or 50%, prices more reasonable than other boba places.”
“I freaking love these tacos, the cabeza is on point and the service is great.
Parking: Not really a parking lot since it’s at a gas station. Either park at a pump (and get some gas so you’re not an a**hole) or there are a couple of makeshift spots by the taco truck.”
“Got a burrito was really good. Our server , Sylvia recommended a margarita…it was great. So…great food, great drinks and great service.”
“My all-time favorite place for Sushi and Sashimi. A great place to go with a crowd that is willing to share. Everything tastes so good.”

“My mom and I walked into this place today and at first we were a little surprised by the prices, but we decided to give this place a shot. This is a little bakery with few items but each item is made with the best ingredients. Sure you can find cheaper options at ranch 99 or 85° but they won't compare to this place. I can tell everything is made from scratch without preservatives. Not mass produced like the stuff you find at 85° and ranch 99 or any other chain chinese bakery.
Everything was so delicious. Even my mom who really dislikes spending $$ on such items was very happy we bought everything we did and would like to go back.
The items I got were the bride cake with winter melon, mango mochi, coffee sliced cake, almond cake, sesame balls, and the red bean puff with egg yolk. We haven't tried everything yet. But so far I'm really impressed by the sesame ball, mango mochi (filled with fresh mango and so soft!), and red bean puff with egg yolk. The sesame balls with red bean paste is way better than any that I have tried. I'm pretty sure she makes the red bean paste from scratch. The woman that works there is so kind and sweet. You can taste the love and care in their pastries. I am happy to support small businesses with quality food. 10/10 would recommend you do too!
Pleasantly surprised!”
“Luckily I stumbled across this taco spot instead of going to In-N-Out one day. Safe to say it was one of the best decisions I've ever made! This taco spot is super clean, super fresh, super friendly, and all around perfect. I feel like if I close my eyes and you told me I was in Mexico again, I would believe you. The tacos are that good! Would give it 10 stars if I could.”
“Cool place to hang out and grab a drink. Lots of beers on tap. They frequently have activities going on in the evening. Live music, karaoke, etc. The owners Eric and Michelle are really nice and Leo does a great job as kitchen manager. There's also a really good food truck in the parking lot.”
“We stumbled upon Mamacita Food Truck on our way to Trader Joe’s and decided to stop for a quick lunch. It was decent overall, but the flavors didn’t quite hit the mark. We tried the burrito, four tacos, and the shrimp taco—the shrimp taco was nice but still lacked a bit of flavor. That said, it’s a decent option for the price if you’re looking for a quick, affordable bite.”
“Excellent food, bier selection, and outdoor seating! Traditional fare is fab as is the fish & chips.”
“Great place for falafel veggie pita pocket + some chocolate mousse and baklava. Our server went above and beyond to share their favorites. Will be coming here again soon!”

“Modern elegance combined with a cozy atmosphere, it is a great place to meet people or hashing out ideas!The cappuccino I ordered was expertly prepared, with a creamy foam and a rich, robust espresso base. What truly set it apart, however, was its temperature—served just right, it provided a satisfying warmth without being scalding.”
“The vintage DragonBallZ sodas made my day!! The service was fast & the 15min wait for spring rolls was WORTH IT—everything was delicious and they made us smile the whole time. What a neighborhood treasure!
Vegetarian options: spring rolls, egg rolls, & a veg/vegan banh mi option!
Dietary restrictions: Great vegan & vegetarian options!
Kid-friendliness: Check out the anime-themed sodas for the kids!
Wheelchair accessibility: Very accessible!”
“Zareens is all time favorite
This time I did not like the gola kabab it was more like Paste.
The Nihari was awesome with garlic naan and so was the butter chicken masala we also ordered the rotisserie chicken which was also very nice.
The mango lassi is like a cherry on the cake.”
“This was my favorite pho place for a few years! I brought my family and friends visiting the bay area too. Recently, however, the quality of the food dropped pretty noticeably, especially with the amount of ingredients (eg meat) in the pho decreasing significantly for the same price/ increased price. I understand things are all getting more expensive, but the core ingredient to decrease so much for me to notice and impact the flavors is quite sad. I hope they can revisit to return to the amazing pho they used to serve!”
“I went in around 7 or 8pm. The service was super good. The food was really fresh and delicious. I got fries w/ a side of gravy & 3 pieces of Portuguese sausage. The service was fast and all of the workers were nice. It was the best I’ve ever had throughout all L&L’s I’ve been to. I will definitely be coming back. <3”
“Love this place - old school donut shop. The breakfast sandwich (croissant, egg, cheese, and ham) was maybe the best I've ever had. Definitely top 3 over the last 30 years.
Coffee is good too - that seems like a weird thing to write, but coffee quality at a lot of places seems to have degraded over the last couple decades(?).”

“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.”

Ramen Izakaya Yu-Gen
152 Castro St
Mountain View, CA 94041
I went there for a solo lunch on a Monday around 12:30. There was ample parking in the city free parking structure behind the restaurant. The layout is long and narrow with a contemporary chair and table setup. There is some bar seating at the front, which I chose.
I ordered the Pork Cutlet Curry at the spicy level. My food was brought to me shortly and consisted of a gravy boat of curry sauce, a green salad topped with macaroni salad and corn, pickles, rice and the sliced breaded pork (tonkatsu). The curry sauce was not spicy but there was a condiment dish with cayenne pepper which I dumped in the sauce to take it to the level I wanted. The cutlet was thick and uniform in thickness with a golden brown crispy coating. It was moist and a little chewy but okay by me.
Flavors were good, service was fast and attentive. A good value and repeatable for the curry.
Parking: City parking structure behind the restaurant.”
“Food is great but expect subpar service and a wait if on the weekend. I've been here twice now and noticed the same staff members. They all speak minimal English and some even use hand signs and skip verbal communication entirely lol. First time experiencing that at a restaurant 😂
Come here for good tasting food with a ton of customization, but lower expectations around service.
Cost can add up to with $15/lb. Both times I racked up over 2 lbs of food, but at least you get to take home the leftovers.”
“The food here is always excellent — it’s why we keep coming back.
But during our most recent visit, we forgot to ask for the neighborhood discount before paying. We asked immediately afterward if it could still be applied, but the server told us it wasn’t possible because the transaction had already gone through. Honestly, that felt more like unwillingness than actual inability — most POS systems can handle quick refunds or adjustments, and it seemed like he just didn’t want to deal with it. As regulars, that was disappointing. Great food deserves equally thoughtful service.”
