“This is a delicious bistro which serves sophisticated foods over the counter. There is usually plenty of seating, and the staff is really friendly. Their menu is much richer than the size of the place suggests, because they have a thriving catering business in the back. I especially like their soups and crab sandwiches.“
“Food is flavorful and best drinks I've had in a long-time. Going back soon.Parking: In close proximity to housing neighborhood and I'm there is another restaurant in the same lot. It can get very congested and hard to find a spot. Go early.“
“This is some of the best pizza in the Bay Area! The crust is amazingly delicious and the sauce is flavorful while the topping tastes and appears to be fresh. I grabbed a make my own pepperoni slice with some extra toppings while my bff had a small pizza. I would move to this area to eat Extreme Pizza every day cause I want to try all the interesting house specials but for now I'm content just driving over.“
“So far, so very tasty! I've tried a few different pizzas at this point and they've all be great. The Tikka masala pizza is fantastic, love the flavor! Definitely recommend giving this place a try if you're looking for comfort food in a hurry :)Haven't been inside yet, so I can't speak to service or atmosphere. Always tasty though!Vegetarian options: Several vegetarian options, which is always much appreciated!“
“Quite literally the best Mediterranean food in the Bay Area!! If you're lucky enough to enjoy some Fava, you're quite lucky indeed. The falafel is crispy and all the ingredients are sourced carefully and the resulting quality is phenomenal!Jeremy and his wife are amazing and the kindest business owners I have come across in Berkeley - they really put the love into the food they serve.My go to's are the Falafel Flatbread Sandwich, Escarole Salad With Blood Oranges, and the Mango Lassi to wash it down. The perfect lunch on Saturday 10/10 would recommend to a friend!Thank you FAVA for bringing such an amazing food staple to Berkeley“
“My husband and I really liked it here, came accross it post discovering the bay. We'd walked miles, and fancied some pizza! We chose well.It's a really lovely place, plenty of seating snd they accommodate us walking in on a busy night. The aesthetic is special. All the staff were really great.We had a mix of pizza, with some extra toppings, mozarella sticks and olives. If there's one thing you need, it's the insanely cheesy mozarella sticks! Don't eat here without them.Pizza was really good, crispy and flavoursome. The price is fine considering location, and portion sizes. Would recommend going here!“
“First time I had Lucia's pizza was at their pop up at the Grand Lake farmers market in oakland, and completely fell in love with the 4 cheese pizza! Decided to try the restaurant a couple of months ago and the didn't disappoint! Pizza was delicious and staff were super nice and friendly! Totally recommend them if you're looking to have a legit Italian pizza experience!“
“Just stopped in for the first time, smiling ear to ear… a Tropisueno just a little closer to home? Had the guacamole, they mix it with tomatillo and tomato, very flavorful and fresh… a red roast pepper salsa, chips are very solid, not too hard, and hold a clean oil well. Flautas came with extra lettuce and a coupe tomatoes, some zesty crème sauce…Very pleased with the happy hour portions, price… will be looking forward to the next time, already want to go back :)“
“This is my absolute favorite place for a weekday lunch in the Marina. All of the ingredients are so fresh and everything I have ordered has been amazing! My favorite is the Californien (love the habanero mango hot sauce) with a side salad. They really don't skimp on the side salad, both in terms of size and toppings (figs, pears, pumpkin seeds, manchego, etc.) and the prices are reasonable too. The staff is so friendly as well. Cannot recommend this place enough!“
“One of the best wine bars in the city! Totally unpretentious, incredibly welcoming, and always a good time. The menu has a few changes regularly and there's ALWAYS a fantastic and varied wine selection. You can tell that every person who works here is passionate and loves what they do, one of the true gems of North Beach.Great spot for a romantic date in the evening, perfect place to chill with friends in the afternoon. Highly recommend the tastings - especially on Wednesdays! If you get a chance to take a class DO IT! You'll learn so much!“
“It was such a wonderful and enjoyable experience. Roger and the rest of the staff are incredibly loving and friendly. We could not have asked for a more memorable experience. Thank you so much for making us feel so loved and cared for!Ask for the sushi bar seats - you will not regret it! It is your very own omasake experience, but better because in addition to really good sushi, you get to enjoy Roger's company. Highly recommend the aged tuna, Norwegian mackerel, and Wagyu nigiri! Also, make sure to leave some room for their in-house ice cream and desserts!“

“Amazing vegan spot! Everything was delicious. As an omnivore, I’m always on the lookout for plant based places that offer options everyone can be happy with. They were also great at checking for my allergens, even during a busy time. I ordered the smoked bbq sandwich and loved every bite. Their food is proof that this spot carefully selects their ingredients and doesn’t compromise on flavor. My vegan friend ordered the pyrgi and swapped the chicken for tofu. Our only regret is not trying the abundance of desserts they had out!“
“This place is AMAZING and at such a good price. We had the Achari chicken pizza and it was incredibly good - you can choose spice level and halal/no halal.The owners/workers are super super nice and there are games set up (Carom, chess, board games etc.) Highly recommend!!!“
“Napizza is one of my favorite “go-to” restaurants in SF.Their quality of food is 10/10.Their service and attentiveness is 10/10.Their wine list is a 10/10 (primarily Italian reds).I have brought many friends from out of town and guests here to eat, as its ambiance is one of coziness, its intimate (in terms of its size), and fun (they tend to play music towards the evening depending on the crowd / customer vibe).Do go check it out, and don’t hold back on trying different things on their menu!P.s. I love their Caesar salad + anchovies“
“Unique salads, healthy ingredients and quite large portions. You should empty the container into a larger dish at home and stir the ingredients well.My favorite is the Vibrant salad, which has an outstandingly complex flavor mix. I still usually add the excellent lentil balls“
“Excellent food, excellent customer service. The veggie panini was full of perfectly cooked, flavorful veggies like eggplant & zucchini. Pesto is delicious. My partner loved his meatball sandwich, and the owner brought him generous tastes of pulled pork and bacon.Can’t believe it took us so long to try this spot. We’ll be back soon!“
“Met with friends at Los Feliz golf course. We came into Morrison for a quick bite and a beer. We are so happy we came in. We come to this place a lot because it's the best pub in Los Angeles. I had the spicy chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries. We worked with the amazing Danielle. She was super attentive and is one of the best servers I've ever had. We had Don Julio 1942 for 10$ a shot!! Thank you so much, we will be back soon!“
“Boichik is a weekly favorite of mine. You can't go wrong with your choice of bagel, although pumpernickel caraway salt is currently my top choice. The coffee's good too, hot or iced. On top of everything, everyone who works there is super, super nice. SPECIAL SHOUT OUT to Lisa! She always makes my day and never fails to brighten up the room :)Last thing to keep in mind for the uninitiated: there's limited seating (especially when it's raining -- there are just 4 tables inside) and the bagels tend to get sold out before 11:30-12 on the weekend.Vegetarian options: They have vegan cream cheese (plain, strawberry, or chive) and several of their bagels are inherently vegan. Vegan creamer is available as well.“
“Amazing food with options that meet different tastes.Their burgers are so tasty and their sandwiches as well.I love their packaging has a minimal use of plastic.There's an indoor seating area which is a bit noisy but outside the terrace is just perfect, good luck finding a table when it's busy! ;)“
“Super great brunch spot! The Crab Cake Benedict and Portabella Benedict were super fresh and tasty, and not super heavy either. The real surprise star of the show was the roasted potatoes! They are super tender, flavorful, and have a lot of nice crispy pieces as well. Super recommend this place!“
“We ordered the paneer tikka masala and the veg chilli momos. Both were good, but the Momo portion was small. Order something else with the Momo as it is not enough for one person. Parking is a nightmare, if you are not a local, plan your parking with care.Vegetarian options: Veg chilli momo, veg steam Momo, daal, veg pakoda, paneer chili , daal makhani, saag tofu (vegan option)“
“Cute little brunch spot with both indoor and outdoor seating. Prompt service & friendly servers. We started with lattes, and got the smoked chicken chorizo scrambled eggs which came with potatoes and cornbread & the pancake combo with chicken apple sausage. My favorite was the pancake dish, I loved it! I’m a bit picky about how eggs are cooked in general so it’s hard for me to find the perfect egg dishes and they usually end up feeling mediocre. I’d love to try a different dish next time!“
“Looking to satisfy your cravings for a new york style pizza? Check out Bloom! They hand make their pizzas by the order to guarantee freshness. Using quality ingredients that you can taste. The sitting arrangement is cozy with little sprinkles of NY vibes. 10/10 will come back to try the rest of the menu.“
“Our neighborhood finally has a new gem of a restaurant! Everything about this spot is wonderful. The attention to detail in the decor (cozy fireplace, exposed brick, distressed woodwork, leaf-shaped cushions, gold silverware, plants galore) is transportive. The food is ravishingly fresh and thoughtfully prepared. On two different visits, we shared Market Salads, Chia Bowls, Yogurt Bowls, and Lava Eggs. Tanzie, the owner, is delightful, and you can tell she has a hand in every dish. My 8-year-old, who is a very picky eater, loved the yogurt bowl, eggs, and especially the Thai Beignets! Finally, a brunch I can look forward to, a few steps from my house...“
“The menu is healthy and absolutely delish. Every time I go in I feel like I get a home cooked meal that hits the spot. The staff is very kind which adds to the overall great experience. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Highly recommend“
“It is my first time to complain, I have always ordered food through Uber Eats and the presentation has been excellent and on 03/03/2024 I ordered dinner and it arrived so cold, a bad presentation, the taqueria-style food, I honestly did not like it, it always came better presented the lemon inside a bag so that the seeds do not come out, the food with something thermal so that it does not cool down quickly. And this time it was terrible, it was the worst delivery I received from the restaurant, I honestly felt very uncomfortable because it is not the first time We ordered food from Porto Fino ? and it wasn't the delivery person's fault because he arrived very quickly and was very efficient ?“
“As an Indian who is often skeptical of the restaurants around the Bay, I was quite impressed by this.Good value for money, overall good flavor (not too whitewashed lol), great service, nice ambiance.Wish the best to this restaurant and hope they include more South Indian dishes in the future!“
“This is a good lunch spot for FiDi. Sandwiches are $12.50-$14. Salads are $10-$11. Prices on their website are outdated. My sandwich , the LLB special $12.50 was roast beef, turkey, ham, swiss, provolone on dutch crunch, was alright. The New England Clam Chowder $8.50 was chunky and not filled all the way up. That tasted OK as well. Friendly service for a counter style restaurant. Kitchen was fast taking account they were busy. I was pretty full afterwards.“
“One of the best restaurants around the UC Berkeley campus. Quality, fresh tasting food and always hits the spot every time. A bit pricey for the portion size, but compared to the rest of Berkeley it’s 100% worth it. If you want fast, tasty Mediterranean food, this is the spot.“
“Clam chowder from here is always tasty with same consistency. We also tried crab chowder which had peculiar taste. The view from upper floor is good but if you are there just to taste clam chowder don’t go upstairs. You might end up paying extra.“
“First of all, Ann at the counter is just a lovely person to be greeted by. It was a pleasure and she was warm and welcoming from start to finish.Okay, I ordered The Pastrami to go. My thoughts, being a first timer, were to go with a classic. Something that shouldnt be made wrong in any sandwich shop. They didnt disappoint.It was everything I expected in a pastrami with one caveat: I had it on Dutch Crunch bread.(first time having it on that kind of bread)They had a bunch of other options, not just pastrami. If youre in the mood for a good sandwich in The East Bay, head to Oakland and hit up Lunch Box.“
“I am an out of towner and was looking for a place to catch the Eagles game. Some friends told me about this bar so I gave it a shot. George & Walt's is in a great are and the place was very diverse. There were plenty of TVs airing all sorts of games and pool tables. The bar is cash only (set to change soon) with tons of drinks specials. The bartenders were friendly and quick to check in. I was happy to have so many food options at this dive like bar. Everything came out delicious and the service was incredible!“
“I've been going to the Dublin and Livermore Sourdough sandwich shop since they opened. The food is always great, as is the service. Since I live in Livermore, I go to this place almost daily. The owners are so nice and always greet customers when they come in. I had them cater a huge pickleball event for our Tri-Valley Pickleball Club and they did an outstanding job. I highly recommend them as the premier sandwich shop in Livermore and the Tri-Valley.“
“It is a very large place, very good atmosphere, the food is delicious and healthy, the portions are quite large, the price is quite reasonable, and the service is good and the food usually does not take long and the atmosphere is quite calm, kind of romantic dinner but for breakfast.“
“This was my first time there and I absolutely loved the food. We sat at the bar on a Friday night for dinner and there was a happy hour until 8:00. We ordered two appetizers and two entrees and put them between the two of us. There was so much food we had to take the leftovers home. I can't wait to go back and try more things on the menu! I give it ?????“
“Only been here once, but the reviews are spot on. This place rocks! Great food. Excellent vibe. Nourishing & delicious food that is well prepared. I had tortilla soup and fries. Soup was outstanding and the fries were perfect. Can’t wait to come back!“
“my friend and i went here for the last breakfast on our vacation and we seriously loved it! my friend even said "if i lived here i'd eat here all the time." the food was fresh and well made, and the spicy mayo was just a kiss of spice, not hot at all, and very creamy. their coffee was expertly made, as i'm sitting here writing this my friend just said "that was a really good coffee i'm still thinking about it" the server was also very sweet and friendly! the shop is a little hard to find because they don't have "enter the cafe" branding, so it's best to just go by the address. but it's a cute little corner cafe, well decorated and clean but very small so exercise caution if you're a larger group. if you're visiting sanfran i highly recommend this place esp if you need a quick breakfast or drink between excursions!“
“We had diner at Thai Lao restaurant this evening with some friends and got a wonderful experience. The restaurant is very cosy and well managed, the food is delicious healthy and the plates well served. People are efficient, dedicated and polite. Special thanks to the boss, a wonderful women, Merci beaucoup et q bientôt!“
“Excellent choice for those that prefer vegan gluten free! There are a lot of restaurants in this area but this is the place for VGF food. Very fresh and tasty. The staff are friendly, upbeat and welcoming. Recommended for everyone. What a gem!“

“We did take out of a pie - large - and haven’t eaten it yet. Very soon! We took a chance with the online number guess and lost. Our consolation price was a free large salad - Yay. Because the place is so new the manager didn’t know about the salad offer but as soon as he read my offer on my phone he had staff make up a beautiful salad for us to take home. Nice customer service.“
“Ambiance: Ordered the Caesar salad, rosemary wings, Ube pizza and Longaniza pizza. I’m a huge Ube fan, but the longaniza pizza was actually better in my opinion. The Ube crust isn’t too strong, but when you bite into the Ube ricotta, you get a nice flavor burst of Ube. I give the food a 5* for uniqueness and great blend of flavors. Service was okay, as the waitress forgot things we asked for on multiple occasions, but she was the only person in the whole restaurant.Would come back again, but would not go out of my way to.“
“Very cute place on the corner. We had the lamb and chicken platter combo and the salmon platter as well as the falafel wrap. All super good. Very glad we stopped here. Satisfied with this meal! Great service and the food is fresh and delicious with big portions.“
“For many years, San Francisco and Oakland have had wonderful bakeries but lacked the ability to make delicious bagels! That changed when Boichik Bagels opened up their bagel bakeries! We had heard about their fantastic bagels but being from New York City we were skeptical that any bagel shop in Oakland could compete with any of our local bakeries. Well, I’m happy to report that BOICHIK Bagels are absolutely as good if not better than our favorite NYC bagel shops!“
“This place is great. Dine-in is quick, but we’ve been doing takeout for most of the pandemic. Their food is AWESOME for takeout, and you can tell they take their time to make the food *look* good as well (no smushed sushi or stuff just thrown into a container.) 10/10“
“I’m always greeted warmly & my orders are always on point. The pizza is a 10/10 for me.I choose Purple Pizza over any other pizza place for quality , taste , and price.My favorite is the Supreme Combo & Chicken on the Green ?? #Half&Half“
“The Laney Culinary Arts Students are totally awesome, friendly, courteous, and working very hard to prepare such an amazing and very delicious food, drinks, and desserts from the Laney Bistro's kitchen.Vegetarian options: The vegetarian salad and soup are very delicious and are well prepared.“
“I miss the wildflower cafe so much during shelter in place. The food is unbelievably fresh and delicious. I love the Korean food - beautiful jap chae, kimchi, and my absolute favorite is the cabbage salad. It's maintained very well and you can see the employees checking and refreshing food constantly. It is very reasonably priced for the amazing quality of food. The employees Are so friendly and make you feel welcome. They have a large seating area and it's the perfect spot for lunch with a friend or a quiet spot to enjoy a salad or hot bar lunch and read a book. Thank you wildflower cafe!“
“The food was really good and the service was decent. I was a bit confused about why there was duct tape on the long booth and why the books that the checks came in had torn plastic in them. Those things kind of threw the vibe off, but the food was really tasty. ?“
“Obsessed with this place! Love ordering from here during the winter months when it's chilly outside. Go-to orders: chicken stew, red lentil soup, and chicken soup (especially when sick!). Prior to discovering Soupchu, I found it difficult to find a place with great soups/soup options. So grateful for Soupchu!!“
“Kurabuta pork and truffle oil dumpling soup easily served two as did the fried organic chicken breast sandwich on an Acme torpedo roll. Soup was complex and wonderful. Sandwich was hearty. The house-made pickles were just one more excellent thing about it. Will take pic next time. Big sandwich. Pick up times are accurate, if you arrive very early they have beautiful cookbooks to page through. Service is excellent. Once I found parking right in front. More often arrived at pickup time, order was ready, back in car in less than 5 minutes. Also, parking on west side of 23rd just north of Macdonald. There are fewer spots on east side of 23rd because of curb cutouts for the large McDonald's parking lot. (And if you see a hint there, OK.)“
