Restaurants in Pleasant Hill

“Enjoy the beers and wonderful staff.”

“I don’t rate places often, but when I do, it’s because I seriously love them. This place has become one of my favorite places in the region after just one visit!! Perfectly balanced and satisfying flavors and unreal quality of the dishes. Service was very friendly, attentive and knowledgeable, and the atmosphere was great as well. Every dish was even better than I had imagined and seriously just so good. I texted my friend about it after the first bite to say how amazing it was. Will be taking tons of people here!”

“We just had the most awesome breakfast at The Hangout in Martinez. I ordered the Chicken and Waffles. It had just the right amount of crunchy spicy sweet goodness. Fast and friendly service.”

“Experience exceptional dining at Jack restaurant, where the waitstaff and bartender provide top-notch service with a smile. They take the time to ask about your meal and ensure that every detail meets your satisfaction.”

“Anytime we are in Pleasanthill area we try to eat at Jo’s Honda Sushi. We used to live in Pleasanthill and we would go there at least once a week. We love Honda and all his family ❤️”

“I came here for happy hour and dinner. Decent selection on the HH menu which is from 3-5. We ordered the shrimp and fried ravioli which was $8 per appetizer. We considered ordering the Kobe sliders but opted for a $35 prime rib dinner which came with a loaded baked potato and sautéed veggies. I split this and 2 happy hour appetizers with my friend and it hit the spot! Just when I thought I didn’t have room for dessert I made room. The butter toffee cake was delicious and I highly recommend it!

It was slow on a Tuesday night. Service was friendly and attentive. Def worth a visit!”

“The freshest sushi I’ve ever had in this area. Hands down. Will definitely be back!”

“Lovely ambiance, great food! Wonderful service! Great place for groups!”

“Super Friendly Service. The Shirley Temple was to die for. I love it there. I want to bring all my friends to the patio with the nature's grace of falling leaves.”

“Recently tried this place while visiting from out of town- so sad I won’t have this back home! Great food, really convenient, & got our food fast, have to try the churrasco the sauce is ��”

“Nice atmosphere but the best part is the food. Great selection with some hard to find items. They definitely know how to spice the food - can’t be beat”

“Brunch with besties is already a treat, but here it's something really special. We had wonderful crepes, Turkish coffee, and it was my first time truing shakshuka. The atmosphere is soft and sumptuous, layered with rugs and sheepskin. The staff invited us to kick back and get cozy, and you can hardly help but relax and enjoy. Can't wait to come back!”

“I'm confused by the lack of recent reviews.. i went here the other night because they were open til 11:45pm which is awesome cus i clock out at 11.. went with a safe order, some zhangzhou rice n a couple chx skewers.. this place is the real deal whoevers reading this, you can safely ignore the old shitty reviews. The food was just insanely good.. not a particularly complicated dish but its one of those.. anyone can do this but few have mastered it* 100% worth it to try this place out. Happy new year everyone ^_^,!,,!”

“Absolutely amazing. Had a family picnic. The food was excellent, everyone enjoyed everything. Quality & quantity was way beyond expectations. Delivery was smooth & right on time. I will definitely be using Slow Hand BBQ again. Thank you!”

“We've been going every Wednesday and it's been great. They switch out trucks every other week or so. Plenty of parking, there's a band that plays and there are some picnic tables as well as plenty of lawn area to sit at”

“I love their menu selection! Also love they have korean sushi. That's hard to find in Korean Restaurants. I also get the japchae fried rolls, seafood pancake, spam fried rice (for my son). It's right next to the movie theater so you can eat before then catch a movie.

Parking: Garage parking lot. Love shade!”

“We went to a baby shower last Saturday. We sat outside which was lovely. The service and food is ALWAYS so good! They do not skimp on their portions! We have been coming here since 1985. Thanks Tony, you know how to do it right!”

“Very fresh and would definitely recommend the Big Combo Appetizer (Shumai, Gyoza, Tempura & Yakitori) to go with your Meal. Very friendly people, satisfied with the Food and Service😋”

“Great food. Popcorn chicken with extra garlic, garlic is real garlic cloves and not that fake chopped jar garlic most use…. Hong Kong chow mein was delicious and flavorful with great balance of veggies to noodles.”

“Servings was more than sufficient and fairly good. However, I was disappointed to find the Kim Chi tasting bland - as in, it felt like they forgot to salt it. Otherwise, everything tasted fresh, the meats tender.”

“it's always pretty good here. The prices are fair and I'm always up for a repeat”

“who does not enjoy a good affordable meal out? something for everyone!”

“They have a taco truck in the plaza in front of the pleasant hill bart. I went on a Tuesday night and got 5 tacos. They were so good and pretty quick too. I tried one of each meat, and they were all delicious. I will definitely be going back.”

“I think Dave's Chicken beat all the fast food chains, especially on the great and rich taste of the food, price and quality. Always pleasure to eat their fresh food.”

“I am slowly working my way through the whole menu the sea bass was excellent today so was the salmon my friend enjoyed I've had the braised beef and we both had the chicken tenders we will continue to enjoy what is offer especially those new items that just came in. chef Raul and the crew know what they're doing very lovely outing every time”

“Great oolong tea and a variety of other teas and snacks. The place attracts a lot of students and offers counter service with a beeper tile for order pickups. The vibe is bright with track lighting, plenty of seating, and one Instagram-worthy spot. Downsides: they can be short-staffed, which limits the menu. Great spot for boba, smoothies and snacks!”

“the chicken is the best around and the al pastor is to die for”

“I've been going to Caspers Hot Dog for a long time now.
The Ladies always carry a smile for you and their very polite.
The Weeners are always awsome and I usually get the Chilly Cheese Dog and a large soda for about $10.50.
Sometimes there is a small line but it go's quick.
Try it out!!”

“"One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well." We visited Sourdough twice during our trip to California. The food was so delicious and mouth-watering. Service was quick and friendly. Excellent customer service.I will definitely recommend this place.”

“Food was awesome! Every single piece of meat was cooked perfectly. The broth on my BBH and my husband’s pho were light but flavorful!Didn’t realize we over-ordered for 2 people until our dishes arrived. The servings were definitely good for sharing. We left with full bellies and a ton of take out.Viet coffee was soooo yummy and was perfect for today’s 75 deg weather.Service was great and the restaurant is well kept and clean. Free parking.Will definitely visit again when I’m in the area!”

“There were five of us. All 7 dishes were delicious. It was the best Hot and Sour soup I've ever had. Service was impeccable; attentive without hovering. Prices were quite reasonable.

Vegetarian options: We shared spicy tofu, green beans, veggie egg rolls. Perfect.”

“I simply did not expect to have the best bagel I've ever had on a lazy Saturday afternoon.

Walked in with my wife to a cozy atmosphere. Warm colors, good smells, the owner's kids having fun at one of the tables. Felt like walking into a home you were a guest in.

Great selection of bagels, we arrived pretty close to closing so some of the more interesting options were expectedly sold out. I went with the open faced turkey avocado melt on a gourmet pesto bagel.

The bagel was perfectly toasted, crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside. Great amount of turkey and avocado covered in cheese that was just the right amount of toasted and melted. With just enough tomato to keep it from feeling dry. Topped with onion that provided the zing it needed.

Will be coming back.

Kid-friendliness: Considering owners kids were playing at a table, pretty kid friendly.”

“Location Pinole,Ca My first experience wasn’t the best,BUT I went again and was super happy bc these are THEE BEST COOKIES OUT 💯seriously addictive will highly recommend !”

“This was our first time at Zachary's. We ordered the thin crust, and our friends ordered the thick crust so we could share. Really good pizza! It's more pricey, but heats up the next day great.”

“Took a friend for her birthday lunch to Moa, which was separately recommended to me by another friend familiar with my love for kalbi and banchan. It definitely measured up.
My friend said she never had Korean before except for KoCups - right?! Since I'd been wanting to try Moa for a while it seemed like the perfect opportunity.
We went for a midweek lunch and we got the fried mandoo, a kalbi lunch and a dolsot bibimbap. There was one person there - greeting/seating/taking orders/serving/cashing out.. Front of House one-woman-show. She was great! Very friendly and efficient and pleasant.
Everything came out hot, sizzling and so very fast! The kalbi was tender and delicious and my friend polished off the bibimbap plus some of my kalbi and we went through 2 rounds of banchan. Food was wonderful!
The restaurant is small but well-situated and clean. Restroom also clean and well-maintained.
The atmosphere is relaxed and we had a really comfortable and leisurely meal.
Location is really easy to find and get to, plus lots of free parking in the lot.

Vegetarian options: Lots of delicious vegetable dishes with options to add tofu or another protein, if preferred

Parking: Ample free parking in the attached lot”

“Line out the door. Lobby was standing room only. Drive thru was 35 cars deep. The staff and service was the same quality as always. 👍”

“Very good pho. It’s delicious and doesn’t make me tired after eating it. My girlfriend loves the shrimp cakes here, they are so generous with their portions compared to other places! And the service is super friendly. Really picky about pho’s but I been coming back to this spot constantly.”

“Intro: Good Ramen

Pros:
-the spicy ramen was amazing
-the service was fast
-clean environment
-not crowded (when I went)

Cons:
-the salt and pepper chicken wings were terrible. Not season at all and one of the pieces needed to cook longer

Overall: recommend the ramen only. Especially the spicy. One of the best spicy ramens I’ve had.”

“Food is Delicious! Atmosphere is very nice and friendly! Try the Lemon Cake!!!!! This Place is everything you want in a Family Style Pizzeria!”

“Delicious Gluten Free mini cupcakes! The custom edible 80s toppers were perfect for our 80s themed birthday party!”

“The food is great here, they have surprisingly big portions and relatively cheap. So much better than the cafeteria at DVC lol. Will be going back there, hungry for more. <3”

“Great food at reasonable prices and super friendly staff. We go for the Sunday brunch every week! Has become one of our favorite neighborhood spots. Highly recommend.”

“I’m so happy to have L and L back! There used to be one on Crescent Drive(a couple blocks away) and I was heartbroken when it shut down. I moved away for a while and imagine how awesome of a surprise it was to see my favorite Hawaiian BBQ spot has returned just before I moved back! ???
The employees are all super friendly, the food is always cooked to perfection, and the dining area is kept clean and tidy.
The only thing that would make this place better is if they would extend their hours on Friday/Saturday nights. A lot of other restaurants in the area close at 9pm on weeknights and 10pm on weekends so I was surprised/bummed to see that they close “early” in comparison.”

“Staff are very friendly and polite
Food is amazing
The French toast are very unique
Definitely recommend this place and if I’m ever back in town I will definitely visit them again
It’s a good spot to let time go by if you’re waiting for events and they are kid friendly”

“We LOVE Thai Village. The food is good: love the Pad Thai, Thai style Brown Rice, Thai, Ginger Mushroom, Basil Stringbean Eggplant, Veggie Fresh Rolls. Had an amazing whole fried fish--forget what that is called! Affordable. Friendly staff. Not Fancy.”

“Ordered sushi and a variety of other side dishes, was greeted by a woman when I arrived and their customer service was great from beginning to the end, food was okay, tasted fresh

Parking: There's always parking here since it's in a plaza

Kid-friendliness: They love kids, had my 3 month old with me and they loved her”

“Fresh seafood. Everything done well here! Will come back!”

“never disappointed what ever I order. linguica sandwich is my fav for lunch. Denver omelet is my fav breakfast. the service is warm and friendly. wish it was closer. I live in Lafayette. but it is worth the drive”

“It’s such a good place! My family and me have been going here for a while. I really hope it gets the recognition it gets! The service is fast and the workers are always so kind. Food is great here and this is the place to go if you just want to enjoy a good quality meal!”

“This is one of those places when you know you've found the ABSOLUTE BEST breakfast cafe hang in town. I was so happy I came here and brought my girlfriend for a sweet breakfast with perfect atmosphere and homely service. GREAT food, and huge portions.”

“It’s incredible, I’ll let the pictures show how delicious- and it’s take out this time! Dishes are Mongolian beef, and a beef chow mein. I order quite often for take out, and love the pot stickers and many other dishes on the menu. Large portions, packed with care. The inside is also lovely with big comfy booths and wonderful table service. Really a treat to enjoy whether you eat in or take out.

Parking: Plenty of parking, especially around the side”

“The food is amazing. I live pretty far but when I’m around town I know where to do. The fish is fresh and the portions are great.

The store is owned by a lovely couple. They are very sweet and friendly.”

“Food was so good and so very excellent. But the waiting is so so bad. Last time we waited for almost 40 minutes and when we checked it was in the food to go. We were so hungry but there’s one more problem. I ordered chicken enchilada for my husband and gave us cheese enchilada. We waited for the chicken enchilada and got it fast. We will still be back. Thanks”

“Amazing iced tea - extraordinary customer experience, clean and fresh cafe. Highly recommend. You will not find freshly brewed iced tea like this short of sun brewing it yourself.”

“Special requests take an extra few minutes but are well worth waiting for. The Ball tip, or fillet sandwich are tender and hit the spot. I have never been disappointed with a meal here”

“The first time you were able and you had to do something about the situation you had with your family you had a good relationship and I think that you had to do that with the kids because I know that you had a bad experience and you were trying and I think you had a great ? and you were right to say it but I don’t know what to tell him about it and you have a lot more than that and you know I’m”

“Definitely overpriced but good taste and good range of choices for flavors and toppings!

Vegetarian options: No meat of course. There's also a couple of vegan options (a few sorbets and some vegan toppings) :)”

“5 stars for the amazing textures of all the pastries we’ve tried. The croissants had the same texture of the ones that I had in France and that’s really hard to come by around the area. We had the almond pastry, hash brown bread, croissant donut, pastry frank and maple sweet cream cold brew. Favorite ones were the hash brown bread, croissant donut and almond pastry. They offered to heat our warm items and it took 2 minutes total. Super quick and friendly. We loved the fact that you grab your own tray and tongs and grab your own items. The tables were also clean and there’s plenty of places to sit.”

“love this place! the food is great and the workers are so kind.

Wheelchair accessibility: there is a ramp in the curb directly in front of the store”

I love their super nachos 🤤

Wheelchair accessibility: Big wide door and lots of tables to sit on her”

“excelente servicio y la comida deliciosa”

“The best wine storage in the East Bay for sure.The facilities here are much better structured to handle the increasingly hot summers in the Bay Area. Joe and Debie (owners) are gracious, accommodating, and a big help. Rates are reasonable, and you have 24-hr secured access!Fully moved out of the Bay now, I will miss this place. They were terrific “bottle-sitters” the last 4 years.”

“I had the flourintine benidict and it was amazing.💖 I will be going back”

“We are avid sushi eaters an we like to pick a new place everytime.

Staff were splendid and kind.

The food was delicious and price wise we actually got more then the last place we ate that was more expensive an less food.

We know sushi doesn’t always feel you up so we ordered a few things an shared with everyone at the the table. The spicy tuna was actually spicy. Whoot!

No kids menu- no problem- ? chicken teriyaki, rice, udon, tempera, seaweed salad!

The one Star removed is for the temperature an bathrooms. It was rather warm inside an the bathroom area smells which in an warmer environment penetrates the air. The roof is massively high. They need to spend some money an put in a fake ceiling an better air.

Overall good place. Will be back if on this side of town. We are everything!”

“Amazing place good for friends and family ❤️”

“This place is about that classic nations food. Everything comes out as desired. Quality is there. Affordable for the whole family. Great for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Burgers & Breakfast are my two favorites. Staff is excellent.”

Dietary restrictions: Vegan possible

Kid-friendliness: Plenty of space for kids

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes”

“Great place ..prices are good . A lot cheaper then most other places these days .

“We enjoyed our meal. They were certainly generous with the fries!!”

“Great coffee simply the best”

“Yummy delish cheese steak sandwich”

“Fresh and delish sandwiches made to order. Hot pastrami or turkey and avacado are my faves. This time, I ordered the club with turkey, ham, bacon on sourdough. Really good!”

“This place is absolutely amazing‼️
If you're that health-conscious type that doesn't want to feel guilty about over indulging, this is the place to go.
Everything is so fresh and the staff are very friendly”

“Great bar. Met my fiancé there we have so many memories there. Great shots, dancing, djs, pool, taco Tuesday and more. Its a lovely place to be!”
