Restaurants by Cuisine
“Food: only ordered vegetarian food and everything was amazing. Falafel was probably the softest I have ever had so far and the mezze sampler was also quite good. I'll recommend starting off with sampler and ordering anything you like as a separate dip. Street fries were also good. They have unlimited tea and the mint lemonade was super refreshing.
Service: this place has minimal interaction with servers as every table has a QR code to order food and pay when you order.
Atmosphere: divided into 3 parts outdoor, indoor and patio. Indoors is bright with open kitchen and patio is dark with plants, string lights and heaters. Sat in patio and loved the vibe.”
“Great service, food was delish. Chef made special sushi dish ( not on the menu) that was FIRE! My new to go place.❤️❤️❤️”

“If you're a lover of NYC-style halal cart food, or you go crazy for falafel, hummus or babaganoush, this spot is a must visit.
The NYC-style chicken and gyro over rice is solid AF. Flavorful rice, juicy chicken, gyro nicely spiced. The falafels are crispy and herby. All the condiments and sauces included in the platters complement the mains so well. This is a go-to spot for me whenever I'm in Redwood City and need a quick bite.”
“Saying nothing speaks to the exceptional quality of CCC. So…I never mention anything about CCC to my guests and out of town visitors. I don’t need to because it is virtually guaranteed that they will ask me where I get my coffee once they try some:) My worst morning is when I run out of CCC beans and have to use a store bought back up I keep on hand. The difference is palpable. Don’t miss out on this local treasure!!”

“First time here and it was so good Had steak sandwich and chicken strips. Get the hot one I liked the best. Fries were awesome.
The staff was amazing by giving us the strips in different spices for our first time.
Beer choices were decent and I had the Double breaking bud from knee deep, was amazing.
Small place but have places to sit outside.
Definitely a place to come for games too. 3 TV's and you can sit at the at too.
We parked around the corner but small parking area.
We will definitely be back.”
“We offer a wonderful adventurous array of delicious Classic Pizzas but I dare you to try our Indian Fusion pizzas they are killer and once you've tasted them I bet it will become a monthly, if not weekly, dine in, take out or delivery! And if that's not your fancy come in to our HIP NEW BAR and try one of our signature cocktails! 🤫 I'd recommend the old Redwood Fashioned Featuring "Redwood Empire Whiskey" its something that will keep you foming back! If Whiskey isn't your thing that's perfectly fine try our Mango Chutney Martini or the Hibiscus Highball! We have large TVs that show MOST live games, have drink specials on NFL Sundays, Free POOL PLAY and so much more. I hope this Temps ypu to come on in and pay us a visit! #stayblessed #staygrateful”
“We stopped in on a whim while traveling and we’re so glad we did! We met one of the owners and she explained the history! So interesting! Good, drinks and service were great! I highly recommend!”
“Zadna is wonderful.The food is absolutely delicious and the people are fabulous. Please make sure to support them.They deserve it.”

“This restaurant is big on flavor and service! So impressed with the food quality. We enjoyed chicken and corn dumplings, chicken wings with an incredibly delicious sauce, kimchi rice ball, coconut shrimp cooked to perfection and a melt in your mouth sesame cheesecake dessert. All of the sauces served were amazing. We ordered a bottle of Dassai 39 Junmai Daiginjo sake. The 39 was clear and smooth with a complex botanical nose. Delicious! After selecting our bottle of sake, the server presented a tray of glasses from which to choose your favorite. The staff served in a beautiful sake dispenser that cools the sake while not watering it down. The whole experience was top notch. If you are a sake lover you must experience this. If you’re not, you should try it. Best dinner experience ever and it wasn’t over priced.”
“Ever since I walked into this restaurant, I instantly fell in love. The clean, healthy, tasty, perfectly portioned sized, and masterly prepared dishes by Ali, and his friendly staff, keep me coming back. My new favorites are the lentil soup, and lamb shank (limited menu special). Satisfying food experience I highly recommend.”
“BEST everything! A must visit. We were on a tour of California and kept returning - best steak we've ever had - the paella was fabulous - the duck confit, amazing - the charcuterie platter is ridiculously good - all washed down with amazingly delicious wines paired perfectly by the expert taste buds of sommelier, chef and owner, John Graham-Taylor - HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”
“Came here with my husband on my birthday. Overall the food was excellent. Very good personalized service... At 7:30 p.m. we were the only people there and remained the only people there the entire time. I thought that a bit odd. The food was delicious. Carefully created. Great play presentation... Except for the worm ?/ or parasite that I found on top of the one dish. They promptly took it away and informed me they remade it. I think they just removed the flowers/leaves. Recommended sake was delicious. The menu is seasonal so things will probably adjust if others go there. I'm still thinking about that delicious chestnut inside of a fried fishball. The rice made tableside was underwhelming to be honest.”
“Went here twice for a film screening and Dust Breaks' EP release party—both different and great events! Good vibes, warm & inviting while having great staging for different kinds of events to play with. As an artist myself, I'd like to play a show here in the future for its vibes, drinks, easy access to food along the area, and friendly service! Shoutout to Allan for the friendliness and tech help!”
“La comida es super deliciosa 👌 y el servicio que ofrecen es excelente”
“By far the best Mexican food you will ever eat. The menu is filled with dishes new to me yet also has some classics. This is true Mexico City fare at its best. The cocktails are creative and fresh with house made purées and syrups. I will be back many times!”

“It's a relaxing environment after a long day at work. The sushi was amazing & most rolls are already made w/rice paper which we love. A must try!”

Takeout Restaurants
“My new go to spot for pupusas in the South Bay! Comalito has delicious pupusas and yucca fries for an astonishingly affordable price - lunch for 2 at only 20 dollars. The pork pupusa was juicy, smoky, and deliciously marinaded but the real star was the garlic and cheese. The garlic flavor is so fragrant and delicious - it was irresistible with the crispy delicious cheese. The pupusas are paired with refreshing slaw and delicious and fresh salsa. The tortilla strips with beans they serve as a complimentary appetizer is also absolutely delicious!”
“What a hidden treat la biscotteria is! I accidentally stumbled upon them when trying to get cannoli, only to discover the greatest biscotti I've ever eaten. So much flavor and crisp, and a wide range of flavors. Personal favorite is definitely the chocolate dipped chocolate hazelnut but the lemon and blueberry ones are also super solid. Great pairing with a warm drink on a cozy winter day.”
“Lovely quaint little homestyle Italian deli with sandwiches, sausages, salads and soup. Thoroughly enjoyed, food was well proportioned but toothpicks and a nicer bathroom could have been better employed.
Dietary restrictions: Unfortunately for vegetarians/people who can’t eat meat, there are little to no options for non meat or dairy consumers. Most sandwiches have pastrami and cheese.
Kid-friendliness: Not too good if you have a picky kid. Can do substitutions; removals, etc but generally not kid friendly.”
“I had the 3 choices bento box. It comes with salad, rice, 1 piece of pork katsu, 1 teriyaki beef steak (with broccoli & carrot) and 2 large shrimp tempura (with potato salad). $20 total. Good value and fresh food. Feeds 2 people. It was not very busy on a Sunday afternoon. I waited for 10 min for the food. It's for takeout only.”
“Love this place. The food is excellent, the pizza is obviously the star of the show (make sure to get it crispy) but the wings are outstanding as well. And they're on top of the beer game, they had a keg of Pliny the Younger before official SF beer week happened.
Love the arcade games as well, it's a good touch. Also I love the local artwork on the walls, old maps of Redwood City are always cool to look at.”
“I recommend Tacos Y MARISCOS El GORDO because of their yummy delicious SHRIMP tacos are my favorite plus I’ve had their Quesadilla and Mexican style shrimp cocktail… I like the fact that their children whom are teenagers work part time whom are polite and friendly like their parents”
“The chicken on the side was weird and out of place. It was a northern Chinese, slightly sweet taste that would have been better with a rice dish. Ramen was great, as were appetizers. Nice atmosphere for a date.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Ordered party platters for party of 30 the day before the party and it was ready on-time. Ordered medium trays but should have gotten small since we had other food. They are very generous and the meat is piled in the trays. We ordered spam musubi, chicken Katsu and bbq chicken. All were really good. I was eating the left overs for almost a week even after sending food home with everyone. Bbq was good everyday after. Katsu because it is fried was ok. I love the Katsu sauce. There was no musubi left over. We cut the spam musubi in half so everyone could have a piece. Not cheap but makes your life easier and tastes great.”
“Can't give enough stars.
Tried to phone in an order to save time because my puppy was in the car. They said
You can bring him in.
He's not house trained yet.
It's ok, bring him in. Is he cute?
He is.
Wow, above and beyond customer service.
I sat outside at a table with Waffles, they brought him multiple bowls of water.
I interacted with 4 or 5 staff one nicer than the next, all happy the puppy was there.
In my long life I have never felt so welcomed in a restaurant.
The barbecue and sides, ALL proper.
Some nice fatty brisket, and ribs that we're great unsauced. And a variety of tasty sauces. Pickled things were perfect.
I'm a large person and their 2 meat plate is much more than I should eat, but I finished everything.
I live nowhere near Redwood City but I'm going there again.
Thanks to all of you.”
“My wife has zero spice tolerance, and she would still ask to eat here because we like it so much.
One thing I like here is that they have pretty good options for eating a bit healthier. All the dishes have a good amount of vegetables, you can get sides of vegetables, and there's an option to get brown rice.
Otherwise, everything is pretty reasonably priced, tasty, and more than enough to fill you up. The Khao Soi is our go-to, and the pad kee mao and basil fried rice are both great.”
“This is Japanese comfort food owned, hosted and cooked by friendliest store owner in Redwood City. Always smiling even visible through her mask, the owner is a culinary saint and a hospitality angel. The husband and wife team have worked hard all their lives to feed downtown Redwood City and their family and this work shows in their wholesome food and intimate friendliness. Share the love and visit this treasure!!”

“So glad have a cafe in that neighborhood! If not for this one, there is no place to eat. The place is good too and coffee size is huge. Loved the decor, the ambiance, the service, the location and the food ofcourse! Had ordered the Breakfast Sandwich, Avocado toast, Matcha and the Cafe latte. Everything was good. It’s so peaceful place located in a corner.”
“You never go wrong with Happy Lemon for boba. The location is in the heart of Redwood city. The parking is a bit hard, then you walk to the strip mall to get to the shop. The staff was friendly. My friend accidentally ordered the wrong item, and staff were happy to fix it. The shop is small with few tables, but it’s very neat and clean”

“Located in a very small "strip mall" type location so I think some people may not give this place much consideration. But... I decided after a decade of living locally to go in and get a taco plate. The atmosphere is not the greatest but the food is amazing! And the portions are HUGE. I was able to get 3 meals out of one $15 plate there. Great flavor, perfect amount of hot sauces, they even put a giant jalapeno on top. I highly recommend. They also serve Breakfast.”

“They have a great selection of desserts and tarts. We tried many items there and everything was excellent. We also ordered a kids custom cake and Sweet table of mini's and it turned out perfect! My personal favorites include the petits fours cookies, eclairs, vanilla cake with strawberries and their delicious coffee/ Lattes. Their breakfast and lunch sandwiches are a must try! They now also have Gelato! My husband recently placed a corporate catering order from them for a variety of breakfast and dessert items and was very happy as well. Highly recommend!”

“Cute and cozy restaurant with a picturesque Japanese inn-like aesthetic. Great fish quality and friendly, efficient service. Very pricey - went with my husband and ordered 2 rolls between us, along with some unagi and the bill was over $100. I could see this being a nice date night place, given the ambience and the cocktail menu looked promising as well. For us, the price to quality ratio wasn't as worth it for more regular dinner nights out (for that, we recommend Akami Sushi just a few min away!)”
“Food - great but little pricey for the qty received. For example - 2 mid size pancakes are for around 15$ , I would suggest it should be around 10 to 11$. Although maple syrup is on the table, they charge additional $, so not sure what's the difference between the one on table vs what they get from inside.
No shakes, only smoothies”
“Great Place, decor, service and views are very cool. The oysters were wonderful, everything we saw looked great”
