“wide open atmosphere, excellent food and great service. Found the beer to be of high quality. Build a flight and you will love it!”
“Amazing food 👍😊great taste and very creative 😉 excellent service! Highly recommended 👍”
“This is a great Japanese restaurant. We had a great time. The food was excellent. The atmosphere is quaint and romantic. You can sit at wooden tables with chairs or sit on a mat at authentic Japanese style tables. I highly recommend this restaurant for fun casual dining or for a romantic date night.”
“As soon as you walk in you notice the cute interior. I love the aesthetic of the tables and vibe feels similar to mom and pop places I've been to in Japan except the lighting is nicer here.
Pretty orderly service, s/o to the one person waitress running the counter and tables and one person in the kitchen.
Foodwise, place smacks. Been here 2 times in the last 2 years. The quality of dishes I got are on par with overseas both times. Got the kaarage uson set and tofu soba. Mild flavors, but I love that nothing is over-seasoned it's just right imo.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Great sushi. Busy place. We had been going to Wakamatsu for so long that we never considered this place. The location is dumpy, but the clientele is smart and vibrant. Sushi done well. Recommended!”
Restaurants with Delivery
“I love Mediterranean food, and sorely missed the Armenian Gourmet in Sunnyvale when Aram retired. However, Tio's has fulfilled my expectations for delicious food at a great price. I never liked falafal until I ate it at Tio's where it is moist and flavorful, compared to other restaurants where it is as dry as cardboard. I love the lamb and vegetarian sampler. The staff is friendly, helpful and remembers us by name. I have always been very happy with my whole experience there.”

“Marcus and Leslie are Rockstars. I came in around 9pm on May 26th and I was immediately greeted by Leslie. She wore a neat uniform with her hair back. She's definitely a pro at what she does and she took my order and asked follow up questions. Later she gave me a sample of the fried cauliflower, because I was asking about it and it didnt not disappoint. Marcus, also in a neat uniform with long black hair, was very busy around the kitchen and dining room, cleaning, cooking, attending to guest. I requested him to take a picture of me with the decor and he obliged. Everything from the food, service and ambiance was perfect. It gave integrity and professionalism.”

“service was very nice and the owner was kind and welcoming!
But the food.. we loved the goat soup but ox tail was hard to eat(it did not taste good), jollef was lacking flavor :(”
“I was there on 3/24/2020, during the morning senior hours. I WAS BLOWN AWAY AND SO HAPPY, SO IMPRESSED WITH SAFEWAY'S CLEAN AND ORGANIZED STORE. Great job Safeway, I normally shop with you anyway, from now on, NOBODY BUT SAFEWAY WILL GET MY BUSINESS!!”
Outdoor Dining
“A nice place for unusual, and tasty Pakistani, mediteranian food. Very fresh with outside dining, but short hours: breakfast and lunch closes at 2 pm. No photos, the food disappeared too fast! We usually order the lamb burger, Sammy's lunch, and the chicharron sandwich, They have vegetarian options, and mini cakes.”
“I ordered here last week for my whole family. They made their meat so soft compared to other restaurants. Also, they have excellent customers service. They all are very nice and friendly. I only tried Grill Porks and Shrimps Vermicelli. I’ll definitely come to try noodle soup next time. I highly recommend this restaurant. ❤️🥰🍲🍛🥢🍴”
“Menu selections are varied and excellent. The minestrone is a very good specialty. Portions are generous. Steaks are excellent and generous in portion size. Breakfast and egg dishes are always consistent. Service is cheerful. Salads are great especially with an Elio’s Greek style dressing..”
“I love this restaurant!! This place is probably my favorite restaurant I've ever been to. They have so many options and everything on the menu is delicious! Their vegan pies are amazing!! They have an extensive brunch menu with the flexibility of adding a pancake or french toast side dish to your order. I love sweet and savory for brunch but I can never finish those huge breakfasts so this place is perfect for me!! On top of that the cafe is so cute and the staff is so friendly. I loved it so much I went twice during my one week stay!”
“A small hole in the wall right behind the main Safeway in downtown, but, it’s so good! The burgers are generously portioned and there is enough variety for anyone who finds themselves craving a burger but wants it to have unique ingredients. They have enough outdoor seating for larger groups. They offer a half/half of fried and onion rings, which we recommend, too!”
“This is a well overdue review. My family and I came here a few weeks ago for some pizza to take home and grabbed a beer while we waited. Collin was the one who helped us. Amazing service & very knowledgeable. Our favorites were Purple Potato & Webbs Double Sausage pizzas. You’ve also gotta try their Bacon Arugula Salad…. Fire!”
“They just hosted our annual Post-Thanksgiving Dinner. We were a party of 30. So much amazing food, and the service was wonderful. There are some special dishes we ordered that needed to be pre-ordered. “House Special Crab and Curry Crab” did not disappoint. We will definitely be back to try more dishes when we are in town.”

“Just went on Wednesday as I was passing through. I didn’t realize that they were open do to the farmers market being right there as well. Went inside and it was beautiful. The staff was friendly and attentive. I ordered the shrimp po boy and it was very good. I will definitely be back.”
“Came here with some friends for a pre Halloween night out.
First-time and I am very impressed. Bandhan was great with some that you don't normally get at other places.
Ordered the Kimchi pancake, kimchi fried rice, tteokpokki, bulgogi and spicy pork. All great and very filling.
Staff was very attentive and warm. They had the World Series game on. Overall great experience.
Will come back to try the kimchi jiggae.”
“Cool people ! Went in there on a Wednesday to order for that following Saturday . Ordered a full pan of spaghetti and Xtra large salad bowl along with the biggest pizza they got 52 slices of pure excellence! The gentleman behind the counter were super nice ! The spaghetti was amazing ! Great hit amongst the adults and the kids . Would highly recommend using them for your future parties .”
“We were in the area and searching for a boba place when we found Smoothie and Wings on the map just off East 14th. S&W has a huge dining area with two separate rooms with tables and chairs.We ordered a couple of drinks with the matcha and mango recommended by the workers. It was tasty and we were extremely happy with the $1 upgrade to their super size. We definitely come back again when we’re back in the area.”
“I think I been there before and I actually stop by this month. The location is somewhat interesting ( away from freeway and next to residential / business area). The area plenty of parking and it is next to a supermarket.
Just a side note that they do take one hour lunch break I think it’s from 2-3 pm something like that. The time I went was after their lunch break and there are too many things to choose from. The order was quick and waiting for the food order take a bit time.
Overall the food is good and portion is decent. I don’t live near there so for me it’s just trying once in a while when I will be around that area.”
“Came here around 10pm. We were hungry and this place just opened and was open late so it was perfect!
The food was DELICIOUS. We got a few dumpling plates and each of us got a soup. I got the sweet and sour soup and it was so good 10/10.
I ended up coming again for the second time the same week and got the black truffle dumplings and brisket soup and it was also really good 10/10. This place has become my new food spot”
“Dishes are fresh and well prepared. Excellent drink list. They have a bar themed portion of the restaurant, booth, seating, and countertop seating. Open till 10 last call for food is 930. Large parking lot behind the restaurant makes it easy to always find a place.”
“The sushi here is seriously good - fresh ingredients, creative rolls you won’t find anywhere else. The Fuji Roll? Absolutely delicious. Prices are reasonable, and the staff is friendly, even if the vibe inside feels a bit cramped and could use a deeper clean. It’s a small spot, so I’d recommend takeout or delivery over dining in. For the quality of food though, it’s worth it.”
24 Hour Restaurants
“The McDonald’s in San Leandro is definitely a standout for the area. It gets very busy—especially before dinner time, but honestly, it’s packed almost any time of day. That said, the customer service is impressive. The staff does a great job keeping the line moving and making sure everyone is taken care of.
We ordered a Happy Meal and asked about specific toys, and the employee was super patient and helpful. Even with the rush, they made sure we got what we needed. The drive-thru can be a bit hectic, so just be patient—but overall, great experience. I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“I have been going here for years. They have some of the best rolls in town. I always get the dragon roll, E14th roll, and the crunchy roll. So very yummy 😋”

“Solis neighborhood spot for an east coast pie, run by a couple of good folks;)
Ordered half veggie half new york:
-good hold/no flop
-neutral crust with no bubble, not crispy
-perfect amount of toppings, not soggy
-fresh ingredients
-sauce is a bit bland/plain
Also ordered the plain and pistachio cannolis, crust was fresh and ricotta was smooth. I’d personally introduce some tanginess/acidity like lemon juice/mascarpone/cream cheese.
Overall a reliable pick if you’re nearby, just need more seasoning/flavoring.”
“Came here with my family and the food is absolutely amazing. Very authentic and amazing salsa. If the salsa is good you know the food Is good. The staff are very attentive and make sure your set while you enjoy your food. Best little family restaurant in the area!!”
“I did a surprise blind door dash delivery from Texas to my grieving family across town where you are locally and they were appreciative, happy and said it was delicious “it made our morning” and “never thought i would be drinking a lavender tea”If we every make it that way I will come try for myself. 🤜🏼🤛🏼 thanks”
“Even After devouring my torta all I could say was “ wow that was fire” over and over… I got half steak and half chicharrón , the steak was juicy and flavorful and the chicharrón was phenomenal and had the perfect crunch to go with the soft bolillo roll, all the toppings combined were perfect.. from 1 to 5 stars ⭐️ I give it 10 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️from the customer service, to the wait time to the flavors ?????”

“Clean inside, fast friendly customer service and the food was plated perfectly and very delicious my coworker loves his sope he said it was crispy just like he likes it and I asked him is it better than the other place you like and he said yes I was so blown away by his response that I had to make a review for this place enjoy”

“I kept wondering if Mrs Craig Vanessa was really an expert trader like they say, that she is not a scammer like the others, then I contacted her and I was shocked and amazed that with just $1,500 I invested, Mrs. Craig Vanessa helped me managed my account and after 7 Days of trading, I made my first withdrawal of $16,700. I'm here to testify the good work of her after she made a good profit for me in my investment. She's reachable via WhatsApp with the number on her Facebook: Mrs Craig Vanessa”
“FORGET L&L, ONO or Ohana. These guys way better. Better treatment and Service is great . Service kicks the rating up for this small kine place. No stink eyes here. Thank you to David for respecting the disabled. Greatly appreciate the Aloha in service there. 🙏ALOHA VIBES HEA.
Wheelchair accessibility: Servers patience with speaking to the disabled.”
“The Double-Double with grilled onions? Absolute perfection. Fries are crispy, and the milkshakes are thick and creamy—chocolate’s my go-to! The menu’s simple, but the “secret” menu (like Animal Style) adds fun options. It’s always busy, but the line moves fast, and the staff are super friendly. The retro vibe with red-and-white decor is chill and perfect for a quick bite after sightseeing. Prices are wallet-friendly, and you get quality that beats most fast food. Open daily till late, it’s a no-brainer for a tasty, affordable meal. Grab a burger, soak in the SF energy, and you’re good to go!”
“I come here often when I get buns for friends or family, great price to get a wide assortment of buns to share. I recommend the coconut buns (has custard filling) and baked bbq buns. They have steamed bbq buns if you call ahead. Not the greatest vibe for dining in, I recommend just take out, it can get busy and makes the place feel cramped. Can be sold out of a lot of breads later in the day, so come early or call ahead.”

“This is one of the best restaurants around!! It is so awesome, we drove all the way from Tracy. The minute we walked in we were greeted with a beautiful genuine smile and a welcoming hello. Customer service is dead, but NOT here! The food is fresh, fast and DELICIOUS!!! I am sitting here full and STILL eating! I ordered the teriyaki chicken and beef bento box. Perfect amount of sauce and comes with FRESH SOFT white rice, soup, salad and two pot stickers. My amazing spectacular husband ordered sushi. Tfe presentation was fab and the fish was flavorful and fresh. If you have not stopped in for a very pleasant and delicious meal, you MUST! Oh yes, the prices are just right and you receive a filling portion!; Take it from me, an actual doctor, this is fresh and healthy at an affordable price!; sorry about the pictures.. . We are it too quickly!!😀”
“The food was absolutely delicious—every dish was bursting with authentic Greek flavors. The ingredients were fresh, and the presentation was impeccable. The service was prompt and attentive, ensuring that my dining experience was smooth and enjoyable.
Whether you're craving a hearty gyro, fresh salad, or flavorful souvlaki, Nick the Greek delivers on all fronts. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a memorable and satisfying Greek meal. I'll definitely be returning soon!”
“8-Twelve is a true neighborhood gem. It is the kind of place where kids can grab a snack and a fun drink for a reasonable price, and then just relax after school. Even though it is not as close to the middle or high school as some of the other hangouts, it has become one of our favorites.
I appreciate that it has lasted the test of time and I hope it continues to thrive. One of the best parts is that they offer non-caffeinated tea drinks for the kids, which is rare and so thoughtful.
8-Twelve has that welcoming vibe that makes it feel like part of the community.”
“Good food and a very cheerful festive atmosphere, perfect for friends or sharing with family. Friendly staff.
Parking: Park in front of the premises and after 6 pm. There is another side parking lot, all free”
“People working here are friendly, really old-fashioned friendly. The food is absolutely the best! This is definitely a hidden gem of the East Bay; once you come and enjoy the delicious catfish and chicken, you’ll keep coming back. I guarantee it!! Oh, did I mention the lemon cake? Outstanding!!”
Cheap Eats
“For years up until now, this place is still very generous with the huge portion sizes that they give, for such a super affordable prices.
The set up and food options are super similar to a Panda Express, but imagine actual authentic Chinese food, with way more variety (example: they have fish options and eggplant while Panda Express does not) and cheaper prices & bigger portions where the to go box barely closes.
My first go to here was the hot and spicy chicken, but I tend to get the hot and spicy fish nowadays, and I don’t eat fish, generally. I’ve always appreciated how their food is no where near as oily as the general Chinese food buffets I used to go to growing up.”
“A Hidden Gem Right in My Neighborhood
I’ve passed by this Mexican restaurant countless times since it’s just a few minutes from my home, but I had never taken the chance to stop in—until today. My mom and I decided to finally give it a try, and we were so glad we did.
From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and inviting. The staff were genuinely friendly and attentive. The prices were very reasonable, especially considering the generous portions.
Most importantly, the flavor of the food was outstanding—authentic, perfectly seasoned, and absolutely delicious. It’s the kind of home-style cooking that keeps you coming back for more.
I 100% recommend this place and will definitely be returning soon!”
“This is our go-to for breakfast. Good ingredients that are fresh (who sources their eggs??? They’re always so good!), good cooking, and that classic diner experience. We look forward to slow weekends and days off when we can go in and grab breakfast. It’s the kind of place you go to for five or six years before realizing you’ve been going for years.”
“went here the other day for lunch (for the 1st time ever). due to a coworker introducing me to your DELICIOUS sandwiches, you are going to see A LOT MORE!!! Thank you very much! and my one and only recommendation, PLEASE COME AND TRY & SUPPORT! This deli is the real deal & so AMAZING & DELICIOUS! Lastly, the family/ customer service is GREAT!! Thank you again! ✌🏽 ❤ 🥪 😋”
“About once a week I order food from Los Pericos because it’s always delicious. My preference is their tacos pastor. Today I decided to order the super burrito with chorizo & asked them to cut it in 1/2. They went a step further & individually wrapped each 1/2. I knew this burrito was going to be lunch & dinner, they didn’t. It may not seem like much to many, their customer service is awesome!”
“My old pal Limney Gilbert got kicked in the mouth by one of Bucktoothed Mary's horses a month ago, and he's had his mouth wired shut since then. This morning they cut the wires! He asked me to bring him a ham sandwich and chips from the Joaquin Deli because he's been drinking all his meals from a straw, and he's ready to chew! It's my first time at the Joaquin Deli and I'll tell you what...it's clean, the ingredients are fresh as can be and the prices are right where they should be! The workers put the customers first, and not because the boss told them too, they do it as if they owned the place! Very refreshing in today's world! 5 stars ☆☆☆☆☆”
“I got number 14, the broth and noddle came out hot and super delicious. Only one type of meat on here but tasty. Overall very welcoming atmosphere and server was nice and friendly. Clean eating area with lots of tables and a big table for a big family size to eat also.”
“Was here after dinner for pool initially. Went here on Sunday and it was quite empty when we got in. This is the first bar I saw Jack D Honey on tap, and I was thrilled! The drink we got was Irish slammer, and they gave too little of the beer compared to usual. Adding to that, the bar smells like smoke somehow, possibly because the wind brings the smoke smell inside(?).
Other than that, the games were fun! They have pool, darts, and shuffle board. The darts were so much fun!! There were not many people waiting, so I would go back here any day!”
“I'm glad Porky's was closed and I consider it a blessing at 1 in the afternoon. This place is an amazing little shop to discover with delicious food and is now my favorite.
We had a Cowboy and Momma's favorite pizza along with the bread sticks and stuffed ourselves because it tasted so good. 1 man show right now and the love for the food shows. Will be back for sure. They even have stromboli! I would have posted pictures but I didn't think about it until after I stuffed myself.
Don't miss out!”

“Food was good as usual! I don’t think the waitress want to wait on me as I had to ask for chips&salsa and to bring my water while I wait for my food. When she finally brought me the food , no silverware and napkins. I went to staging area and tore off some brown paper”

“A disclaimer, these reviews are always hard for me: because when I come here, I usually come with people who are familiar with the restaurant and employees. For context, I’m a Chinese woman with family connections and I can speak cantonese. It makes the experience easier and faster. I’m not so sure if I just spoke English, how great the service is. Besides that, the food here is awesome. Great selection, everything tastes awesome! You want authentic Dim Sum? You’ll get it here!”
“Wow, from the second we stepped in, Emily greeted us with a smile, took us to a table and ensured that we had beverages right away. Even though this was a busy Sunday morning, we felt very welcome and attended to. The dip in the food rating is due to my Benedict with fully cooked yolks, but again, it’s a busy Sunday and for that to be the only concern, the team as a whole is on point. Jesus was very efficient and has great timing for check in’s, talk about a multi-tasker!
On our way out, I was unsure where to pay the bill, both the manager and Emily immediately offered help to get us out and on with our day.
After having a few in consistent experiences at another location, we are so excited to know that our new neighborhood IHOP has an incredible team and will be our new go-to
Thank you Emily and team!”
