Restaurants in San Bruno

“Great tasting authentic Middle Eastern cuisine. Owners from Gaza Strip originally.”

“The service here was exemplary. The moment I walked into the store, I was greeted with a smile. The drinks were made right in front of me. I can smell the freshness of the sugarcane as it was being made. We ordered the drink with calamansi. This drink took me back to Vietnam where I grew up.”

“My sister Cassie Young and I tried Vegan Mob today for the first time. The food is delicious - we enjoyed every delectable bite! We highly recommend it and will return soon. Thank you for offering healthy and tasty soul food. Special thanks to Nico.”

“Large sandwhichs fresh ingredients and a great selection! Deli is clean and the people working were friendly. I will defently be back gave menu to bosses and I think one went over there today.”

“This place is great!! Love the Lamb Chops or New York Steak, Bartender Christine top notch, Area Mgr. Samantha always treats me like gold. Mgr. Alexa Luv her so dedicated, Mgr Edgar always on top of things, Can't forget Bartender Alberto! Or Mgr. Gia”

“Best BLT ever. An unexpected find and the sandwich selection was great. I went will the simple BLT, but it delivered big taste. Mr. Carroll was very friendly and gave us a history of the deli and the sports memorabilia. Lots of character and good food too.”

“i i went to your cafe today but they said its close its only 2pm … in the flyers it said there close at 3pm .”

“first time trying this cute little spot, only ordered tacos and would definitely come back.

- tongue ( tender and soft, not too gamey)
- shrimp ( my favourite, ordered 3)
- al pastor ( also got 3, delicious)
- carnitas
- asada

You would not regret ordering them as “taco especial” (guac, sour cream, and cheese) if you can.

I love their chips & their self serve sauce corner.”

“Love coming to this place with my family or friends. We often do family styles here and order a variety of food. I love how they give a side of fish as a banchan, reminded me of BCD tofu house in SoCal.”

“I’ve always loved Italian food, especially good lasagna. Recently finding this place in San Bruno we had to try it. This place is absolutely amazing on both food and service. I’ve been to top restaurants in the city that do not have as good of service or food as West Coast. Keep up the great work, you guys are phenomenal!”

“very good and fresh food for lunch”

“Wasn't a fan the first time though the cousins were. Enjoyed it much more the second time.

The first time we got medium spice for most of our dishes and was really struggling. So the second time we got mostly mild. But the mild had no spice at all. Would love if there was an in between spice level.

* Papadi Chaat - medium spice. Crispy. Cold. Didn't know there were spice levels for chaat. This is not a main menu item but instead a special we saw taped at the counter. Would get again

* Aloo Tikka Chaat - medium spice. Mixes really well with the papadi chaat

* Chicken Vindaloo (mild) & Lamb Vindaloo (medium) - both the vindaloo sauce came out tasting completely different. We don't know if it's because of the spice level or the fats from the proteins but it was different. We enjoyed the lamb vindaloo more.

* Chicken korma (mild) - good
* Paneer tikka masala (mild) - favorite but would have liked a little spice
* Chicken biryani (mild) - good
* Garlic naan - have garlicy. Not too oily. Crispy.

All curries comes with rice if you ask for it.
There are specials on the counter.
Free endless chai.”

“I came in because of the amazing smell from outside! I was not disappointed! Looks like they are installing new appliances for even more delicious food choices! Although I took my (huge) sandwich to go, there was plenty of room to dine in! I'll be back for sure!”

“Atlas is a unique place. I’ve stopped by with friends for an event but not really had the full Atlas experience until tonight. I had one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had! The Italian garlic combo! Friendly staff, wine and beer, tonight there was live music on the patio area. Max the owner is a wonderful host who is very active in the San Bruno community. Atlas is bringing good times back to down town San Bruno. Make it one of your first post pandemic stops!”

“Easy persuasion to eat here. Good grub and fast.”

“Excellent food, excellent service, excellent ambiance!”

“Excelente servicio 🙂…………..”

“They have the Best Burgers in the Bay Area❤️ The staff is very Friendly and Nice❤️❤️❤️”

“Great spot, friendly staff, extensively eclectic menu”

“Food was great and exquisitely plated.”

“My son and I YELPED for Mexican food.Good Mexican Food, and decided to give this place a try. I had the Spicy Shrimp Plate, and my son had the Steak and Spicy Prawns. They also provide Tortilla Chips and a Salsa Bar. The guy who cooked our food, knows how to cook! My shrimp was absolutely a balance of green/red peppers, onions, in a slightly sweet, savory and mildly spicy sauce. The Rice was done just right(not dried out).The Black Beans, were tender, with just the right amount of salt. The Iceberg lettuce and sliced radish was cold, fresh and crispy— Served with a dollop of sour cream, avocado sauce; a slice of tomato and sprinkle of Mexican cheese top the salad - it did a nice job to balance the heat of the main course. Everything was well executed. The overall indoor atmosphere is very clean, simple and no frills. Love their neon menu signage. And, their prices are reasonable. Thank you for the delicious meal. We will be back.”

“Best Mac n Cheese!! Award Winning”

“Best pizza ever! I’ve been eating totos for 50 years! In my opinion it’s THE BEST!”

“Staff was attentive and helpful and the items we ordered were all delicious”

“very good Chinese BBQ. Delicious. Taste way better than other BBQ places in the bay. Please ignore the bad reviews(most are competitors trolling). If you like authentic Chinese BBQ, you will like this place.”

“Place has amazing food and service!!”

“Who doesn't love pie. Maybe the pied piper
Cream pie ? . Just not in the morning . No sugar in the morning unless Sharis is giving away free pie. Atmosphere is dennys except more pie. If you wanna say sorry after a lie don't go empty handed bring them a pie. If you always tell the truth then buy a pie and shave it in your face cuz your lying”

“Great Sunset neighborhood Indian/Pakistani restaurant. Friendly service. Accommodates my spice shy palate. Recently introduced thali lunch boxes perfect for single diners. Reasonable prices.”

“My favorite kind of dive bar - dim lighting, cheap drinks and strong pours, and full of regulars nursing their beers and chatting with the bartender like old friends.”

“Good service and good food!!!”

“The best sushi place in SF…I am a sushi lover. The fish there are so fresh and the Uni are premium. From the sashimi to the Kobe beef, everything is top. Their pricing is also very reasonable. Eric and Phoebe are very nice and provide excellent service.”

“I’ve been on the hunt for a new go-to sushi spot since my favorite one in Burlingame closed down (RIP). This is currently top of my list for when I’m in town with colleagues. Great service and ample parking. Easy to get to and plenty of delicious items on the menu. Good variety of sake as well.”

“Eat here you will not regret it”

“Allie and Stephanie's restaurant is great! It's a pleasure to meet you, to have the opportunity to admire your cooking, and to talk about it in the middle of the night. Very recommended :^)”

“Love their service and their sashimi and sushi. Very good and �!”

“I'm surprised I haven't reviewed this place yet as I thought I did.
This is probably one of the best places for Dumplings (水饺) because they are delicious here. The price is decent and you get to see them making them because someone is always making them nonstop.
Service is good enough but the place is very small and parking can get annoying unless you get lucky and found parking right outside.
However food wise I like almost all the options because the dumplings are very good and they are fresh. There are many different options so I suggest you go with a couple of people so you get to try multiple choices.”

“Excellent cuisine and service”

“Family run spot in San Bruno. Located on El Camino Real, it's easy to miss if you drive by.

The restaurant itself isn't too large, but there's seating for groups of all sizes. The menu is pretty extensive and has a good variety. We ended up getting a sashimi combo, one roll, and the lamb appetizer.

The sashimi itself was pretty tasty with no fishy smell. We got a good variety of sashimi, but my favorite was the salmon. The lamb was delicious as well and we're a good size.

Service is good and the staff is nice. We got our drinks refilled often without us asking.”

“Delicious food great atmosphere”

“Spouse and I go every week! The atmosphere is nice. We get excellent service! The food is always delicious and the location is very clean. Nice staff that remembers your order from the previous time so they know what we like 👍”

“Good taco salads here in their San Bruno location. It was $11.29 + $2.49 for the added steak. That crispy flicky taco shell revivals the best of them. Free chips! If you want to mix it up, their mango salsa is a very unique La Salsa thing. They tend to get rid of the mango salsa during the holiday season though. Plenty of seats and service was excellent for a counter ordering restaurant. The cashier is also the chef.

About La Salsa, I used to visit their SF Battery St. location near my office in the 2000's before they closed. Also previously in the 2000's, I used to visit their Mountain View location every other Saturday before going to Fry's Electronics. Their food is healthy if you order the right things.”

“Spiral has amazing food. The sushi is delicious. The employees are also wonderful, warm and friendly.”

“Great food, good price, and quick service - my sisters and I look at it as an extension of our kitchen �”

“WOW, this place is a hidden gem! Casual mom-and-pop atmosphere and decor, affordable prices and HUGE portions! The bbq pork vermicelli bowl is phenomenal, they sauté the usual crushed peanut topping in garlic and sprinkle on fried crumbs from their egg rolls, it's delicious! Also, the egg rolls are homemade and twice as big as the standard finger-sized one is you get elsewhere. We are definitely coming back.”

“Pros: Fresh and good food. friendly staff, very affordable Cons: Hard to find a place to park in that part of town.”

“Phil Taylor is a wonderful Host. He cordially welcomes songwriters from all over the globe to perform songs in the round style. It’s a great way to share one’s music and meet other like minded folks. I had a wonderful time 1/7/23. Looking forward to a future opportunity to perform my music. I definitely recommend this group.”

“Very delicious ? mouth watering yummy pizza!! ? we pumped gas and saw this little restaurant across the street and decided to stop by since the reviews were amazing and it was so worth it, the restaurant was clean and the customer service was on point! And the buffalo chicken and bacon pizza was fire ? must try if in the area.”

“Our favorite poke place in the Bay Area. Good portions, fresh fish, wife variety of base, and an even wider variety of sauces and toppings.. they have a friendly staff and a clean restaurant.. the kids ask for this place in specific..”

“This place has the most reasonable prices for the food you get. Customer service is great. Food is great. One example when you order chicken tacos. You great real shredded chicken and made pico de gallo.”

“I came to stay at a hotel near the airport and had dinner at a restaurant nearby. The food and side dishes are all delicious! After eating satisfying Korean food, we begin our trip to San Francisco.”

“Sesame chicken was the best in town and very large portions. What sucks is the parking?

Parking: Parking sucks on the street. You have to pay or you’re get a ticket. There’s no free parking only at Starbucks for 10 minutes but everywhere else you have to pay. It’s a big mess for San Bruno.”

“Super good!!! Would recommend to anyone. Big portions”

“I LOVE this place! Its so fast so much stuff to choose and have plenty of styles of tea and foods!”

“Delicious vegan options!😋”

“The clerk at the counter was super friendly. I was behind a troublesome customer and she handled it all with a smile.
The food is more comfort food to me. Rice and protein. Yum.
The food came out very quickly and hot.”

“Please open a location in Southern California!

Filipino is my comfort food and this was comfort to the max. I dined here with family and we enjoyed the food and venue. Our servers were very attentive and refilled our water and rice without our asking. I ordered the kari kari with crispy pork belly and it was an experience nearly identical to that of the moment the Ratatouille food critic had when he bit into the bite of Remy's ratatouille dish.

The only bit of constructive feedback I had was that I wish the tables had lazy susans. My family and I ordered several different dishes and it was a workout passing serving dishes around and/or reaching across the table. Other than that, everything was a delight.

I'm excited to come back next time I'm in the bay area!”

“Came to have dinner with a friend from the Tai-Lao Region and we both agreed, the food was excellent, very fresh and made with care. Service was fast, certainly a good choice for Pho in my opinion.”

“The young lady that served me was very good. I definitely enjoyed the spinach mushroom omelette. I’m not sure if it’s because this IHOP was on the West Coast in San Mateo, but they definitely did not skimp on the mushrooms, spinach, and hollandaise sauce. Also, the breakfast potatoes were very crispy without being burnt.”

“I’ve been going there for over 30 years. It’s the best tasting most reasonably priced Japanese food I have ever found.”

“customer service is beyond amazing. fast and quick. owners are very friendly and sweet.”

“The broth of the Beef Sukiyaki was really rich and the noodles had a good chew to it, really liked it! The beef slices were just a tad bit overcooked and tough to bite through though.”

“My go to flavor is pralines and cream. But my kids always have the chocolate shakes. This place always fills us with joy and sugar 🤣🤣.. gotta love it!!”

“This is the Carl's Jr where the burgers and chicken burgers taste good and the milkshakes also taste good. I've had bad Carl's Jr in Daly City and other locations but this is one seems to be most consistent in actually tasting good.”

“First time with Wendy's food for me. Must admit I was thinking it's another mcdonald's or bk. Well, it's not! It's actually way tastier than both mentioned above. I'm positively surprised”

“We were welcome today by an enthusiastic guy, that prepared 3 ice cream at perfection, we have been eating cold stone everywhere in the Bay, but this guy give us the real experience he also make tricks with the spatula and the ingredients.”

“i recommend the Scorpion Burger & the Burnin' Love burgers. I've had both recently. they're both Very Yummy. I got mine with a Veggie patty as I don't eat Meat. I love both, but the Scorpion burger is My Favorite. 😁😁”

“Frafuccino caramel for this summer. Enjoyed it.”

“We love this location! If we’ve ever had any concerns or even questions, they are quick to help. Tonight the worker by the name of Justin was so sweet to my daughter, and made our pizza perfect! THANKS A BUNCH GUYS!!”

“Was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food for the affordable price! Ordered the shrimp bento with an additional topping of teritaki chicken. The meal was. So tasty, I didn't need to add any additional condiments to elevate the flavor.
Indeed, the teriyaki chicken was very well prepared. Shrimps were tiny but very tasty. And the accompanying dragon roll and fried gyoza was worth every bite!”

“Julissa was the party host for my son birthday on July at chucks cheese on to el Camino location ! She accommodated all the food gift and games and GRC and the best part is the chunky cheese bunny and we took great pictures and had a wonderful time for my son ! Julius’s has excellent customer service and I really really appreciate the extra effort for my son birthday party and everyone was amazed with my invited guest”

“Chicken Sando...mmmmmm🐔🐔🐔🐔”

“Other than the rude Hostess lady that seated us, we was good”

“Only had the pizza, wings, beef lamb wrap and fries so far the few times I was at Tanforan. Fries were decent, wings were good (not dry), pizza was great (love thin crust), and the meat in the wrap was good, not dry and the wrap was very filling and wrapped tight. Overall I’ll give 5/5, and the staff was very nice as well. Will come back again if I gotta pick up another game or watch movie”

“Waiters were super friendly”

“BEST coconut chicken hotpot I’ve ever had in the bay!!!!!
The soup was made with fresh coconut - they cracked the coconut and added the coconut water into our soup. We could also eat the coconut meat inside - it was so fresh.
And then they added chicken - the soup was just HEAVENLY. As a person who is from the region where coconut chicken was originated, I 100% approve its authenticity!!
And the price was soooo good too - $35 per person!”

“Excellent food served by volunteers who are part of this wonderful monastery. This is a nonprofit organization. You can also go in and meditate. The food is delicious. The volunteers are kind and helpful. They accept Venmo or cash donations for the food. Outdoor seating available. Extensive menu. Pork and Thai coffee was delicious!!!”

“Delicious fresh food made right in front of you!! I recommend the entire menu haha it’s really good!”

“These are probably the best tacos I've had in the Bay Area! They are so good and it's a good bang for your buck. If you are in the area, definitely try them.Also, I asked them their hours and they said 10am-10pm, Monday-Friday. Hope this helps!”

“Only got their popcorn chicken for a mid-afternoon snack. Nicely fried and good flavor. It comes without any chili powder so you can adjust yourself. The store space itself is kind of sad - very barebones and a little iffy on cleanliness. Would come back for more fried chicken if the craving hit.”

“Ordered via Doordash. Got a steak torta and Al pastor torta. Both were pretty good and not to bad on the wallet. The food was prepared pretty quick for delivery. I'll have to try some tacos next time.”

“pretty bartender reasonable beer prices”

“Came to try this place after noticing it while ordering Korean Fried Chicken next door. It's in the strip mall next to 280 on San Bruno Ave. Place is huge, a little dark, and I haven't seen it being crowded ever. Do note that they are closed on Sunday which is really weird for most Asian restaurant.
The food is decent but nothing special. Don't think the soup is from actual bone soup but with the price I don't expect them to. They however gives you a lot of meat for the price. I feel like I got a decent deal. Service is also good. You do have to pay at the counter.”

“Good food, huge plates, tastes handmade but have tasted better. Nice authentic atmosphere. Their menu has a lot of chinese words so it's a little difficult to understand.”

“Good food and friendly service”

“I really liked the Binagoongan Rice. The flavor was there. It’s a meal by itaself and the portuon was large.”

“Ricopan impresses with more than its delectable pastries; it stands out for its remarkable community engagement. Each visit feels like a warm embrace, highlighting Rico’s role not just as a bakery but as a community pillar. Their commitment to giving back is evident, making every bite of their exquisite desserts feel even sweeter. Ricopan is truly a beacon of both culinary mastery and community spirit.”

“Came for dinner with my husband as we stayed one night near the airport. My husband had the roasted duck noodle soup and I had the shredded duck meat stirred fry noodles. Both came very fast and in a very generous portions. The roasted duck noodle soup was delicious but my shredded duck meat stirred fry noodles was just ok. There’s only little shredded duck meat and tasted quite bland. The price was ok and very friendly staff. Not bad for a quick meal.”

“This place has been around for years but surprisingly, this was my first time here.   When you walk in, it gives off the vibe that it used to look like the elegant but homey vibe.  It still has the same vibe just a little worn.  From the outside it is definitely a hole in the wall, you wouldn't think it was that big from the outside.
I think we were one of the first ones here?  We were greeted and seated right away.  It wasn't too busy when we went but you can see the regulars slowly coming in.
We ordered:
1.  Nilagang bulalo - Hot and fresh for the cold afternoon.   It was very meaty and had a variety of vegetables like carrots, potato,  and bok choy

2.  Pork sisig - I'm not sure why I was expecting it to come out sizzling, surprisingly it didn't.   After mixing it the flavors were on point.   It was the perfect amount of spiciness from the jalapenos, crunch from the onions,  and saltiness from the soy sauce. This is one that I highly recommend,  maybe even with a fried egg on top or garlic rice.  It's also perfect as is with steamed rice.

3.  Pinalutong tadyang- I thought this would be crunchy and hard.  It was the opposite, it was tender and didn't need much to get it off the bone

4.  Pancit bihon- I liked there was a lot of noodles and not all vegetables like some places.

Service was good,  food was delicious,  and reasonably priced.  A lot cheaper compared to filipino restaurants nearby.   It's not bougie, it's home style cooking good ol comfort food.   I will be back soon and try their other items.  The breakfast plates people were ordering looked delicious and the portions were generous.”

“We come here all the time, and have done for years. The staff is wonderful, the coffee is great, and everyone is friendly.

Vegetarian options: There are some vegetarian and vegan drinks and breakfast sandwiches.

Dietary restrictions: Lots of milk substitutes.”

“Honey milk tea w/ mini boba & mango popping boba (left), Rose milk tea w/ mini boba (right) and sweet potato fries. Loved both drinks!This has been my go to place for boba drinks but for the fried snack options, I wish they were less greasy.Highly recommend the additional topping of mango popping boba for a fun little kick to the drink. They also have the option for a strawberry popping boba.”

“This place is great!! Love the Lamb Chops or New York Steak, Bartender Christine top notch, Area Mgr. Samantha always treats me like gold. Mgr. Alexa Luv her so dedicated, Mgr Edgar always on top of things, Can't forget Bartender Alberto! Or Mgr. Gia”
