Restaurants in San Leandro
Best Restaurants
“First off. I don’t know who “Uncle Tio” is, but he should be SO PROUD of this establishment.I’m a regular here and I brag to all my friends about how you can literally taste the “freshness” of all their food. Phenomenal!Lastly, but certainly not least, the gentleman that’s usually always there at the front, is the most well mannered and polite person ive ever met at a restaurant. He usually has a vest on, he’s the nicest person in the world and should be protected at all cost. He makes sure your order is exactly how you want and is very efficient!The chicken shawarma plate with yellow rice is my go to but literally can’t go wrong here!”
“A fairly big place, big groups can be accommodated. They have shaded areas and gas fire places. Interesting beer selection, constantly rotating. Food is good. San Leandro needs more places like this. The area is less shady and kind feels safe. Parking can be a challenge. They have bike racks inside the fenced off area. Will return.”
“Excellent service all around, starting with prompt responses to my questions over text message, to a warm welcome when we arrived and attentive service from all the staff throughout our dining experience. All the dishes we ordered were amazing; from the raw and grilled oysters, salads, to the sandwiches/entrees and hand crafted cocktails/drinks, everything was delicious. What a gem in this neighborhood! Definitely recommend, especially if you are celebrating a special occasion. We had such a great time for my birthday.”
“Checked this place out a Sunday afternoon. The service was excellent as well as the food. We tried their sushi rolls and they were delicious. We also had Sake and it was tasty.”
“Ordered hunkar beyendi, Turkish coffee, and pistachio cake. Hunkar was good, they made the eggplant into a cheese like substance that worked well with the rice. Standout was the cake, delicious! Not too sweet, great with the cream foam on the side. Coffee was like 2 sips and it was gone.”

“It's decorated like a diner. Seating is really spaced out since covid. The place is clean and the service is good. Delicious burgers. They have regular and sweet potato fries!. Simple lunch spot. A bit pricey but for a good burger it will be. Bacon cheeseburger, sweet potato fries and a soda...$25. Not a price I can spend often.”

“So, I wasn't expecting much from this place based on the online pics – seemed like your typical local spot with potentially too-sweet flavors. But, you know, a friend insisted, so I gave it a shot. And guess what? Total game-changer! They've got good variety, not just the usual sweet-tooth stuff, but also fruity sorbet and less-sweet options like taro. Perfect for someone like me who can't handle desserts that are too sugary (seriously, instant guilt kicks in). Plus, their serving sizes are wild – one scoop lets you pick two flavors, practically a 2-3 scoop situation in the South Bay. And the staff? Super friendly. No wonder this tiny spot in the not-so-flashy plaza is always buzzing with customers. Gotta love those unexpected gems!”
“I absolutely love this place and their ice cream! I was looking for some koolfi in the Bay and stumbled across Koolfi Creamery, and I’ve been hooked ever since. Their Bombay Butterscotch flavor is my favorite, but every flavor I’ve tried has been amazing. Highly recommended.”
“Very aesthetic restaurant! The ramen is really good not very salty, good for people with high blood pressure! Chashu is among the best I've had, extremely fatty and melt in your mouth! I would go again to try the sushi.”
“I've been coming here for over 10 years and I love this little place. Always a smile when I come in and the service is always great. Their ranch dressing is the best, highly recommend it with your curly fries :)”
“Checked this place out a Sunday afternoon. The service was excellent as well as the food. We tried their sushi rolls and they were delicious. We also had Sake and it was tasty.”
“I happened to stumble upon them looking for breakfast this morning. They don't serve hot food at this location but they have fantastic customer service and their food is delicious. I had the beef and cheese piroshki and it was a huge change to my day! I highly recommend this place. Id show a picture but I stuffed my face with it before writing a review.”

“Thanks to As Kneaded Bakery San Leandro has one of the best bakeries in the world. The Pain D’Epi is amazing as is their sandwiches especially the curried cauliflower sandwich. Just perfection.”
“Truthfully, from living in this local area, and being without a vehicle to get around more, I kinda got a car of "authentic Mexican food" fatigue. But, not with this place. This is my go-to lunch spot!! I LOVE their crunchy tacos!! Add to that one of their Watermelon drinks, and you have a piece of Heaven. The service there is always great!! Very friendly. Everything about this place is a "two thumbs up"!!”
“Ordered through doordash, from the spicy tuna sandwich to balsamic dressing was incredible! Is there an option to choose your own bread through the doordash app ? Will definitely order from here again for my lunch!”

“This amazing local bar is newly owned. I learned the new owners sponsor a pool team and so every now and then host games there in the evenings. They also have Trivia nights, I believe I saw a darts board hanging, There are over 7+ TV's hanging around the bar. The bartenders are all super friendly and down to earth, and special shout out to Lori, a legendary barkeep in the area! They have Irish-themed food from 5-10p and brunch during NFL season!”

“Delicious sandwiches ! I got an Americano and and it tasted very nasty. I think they resided old coffee grounds to pull the shot or the machine wasn’t very clean.”
“Saigon house has been on of our regular rotation for a while. We’ve had a small variety of items from pho, vermicelli, and rice plates. There’s still a lot on the menu we need to try! Everything we’ve had has been good. Food is fresh and delicious.Most recently we had the wonton noodle soup. It had a tasty broth, good wontons which was separated from the shrimp. Shrimp was cooked perfectly and the egg noodles were delicious!They get busy very quickly so order early!”
“Sabino's is simply a neighborhood gem. The coffee is delicious and they have a good variety of snacks and pastries. Their outdoor patio is a beautiful place to get some writing done and they have stable Wi-Fi and a bathroom so I'm happy!”
“Fiji Fry House is between a Salvadoran bakery at the end of the block and a car repair shop across the street. The shop has an American and Fiji flag at it's side, the only decor visible. The food differs from other Fiji eats i've tasted. The food here has it's distinctness and it's influences from Indian food. Offerings: appetizers, curry tacos, Fiji fried chicken, curry rice box, ala carte, desserts, drinks... Drill: order by phone or at window, pay, food cooked to order. Eats: bhajia (9.75) -similar to pakora. Distinct in having thin flour coating, not a thick batter. 4 pieces of grounded spinach, veggies are moist throughout not dry. Has a chutney dipping sauce. Lamb & potato curry (19.75) -crunchy papadum wafer with flavorful vegetable pulao rice of fresh kachumber, pickled veggies, tumeric to soak up masala gravy. -lamb & potato in tomato and spicy masala gravy adds a spicy kick. Very fulfilling. *couple of tables nearby to dine on. **many entrees have a fusion theme combing Indian & Fiji cooking techniques..da best of 2 cuisines.”
“Busy place!Great food and good service. The patio is fun on a beautiful sunny day like today.Such a busy place.Parking: Give yourself time to cruise the lot a few times.”
“SF East Bay. Our go-to pizza place! We even used to go to the Walnut Creek branch for take out. We may or may not have tried all flavors already ? All are mostly good, more a question of which we prefer over the other. They also sell by the slice if you want to try it out first and not commit to buying a whole pie.”

“Really high quality fish, what more can you ask from a sushi joint? Pleasant interior and a wide variety of less common Japanese dishes. They serve natto! The best sushi joint I've ever been to.”

“Moana is definitely a Hawaiian restaurant, the owner and their servers are kind and they serve with aloha.. strongly recommend Moana to all the islanders living, visiting Cali..and to everyone that wants to try a taste of aloha.. The food is boombastic Mon...cheeehuuuu.. Seki lava Lii mang..”
“The owner and her staff are very nice and helpful. It's convenient, next to Rite Aid. I first discovered this place last summer and had their slice and drink special. I was so surprised at how heavy and tasty the pizza was. My fave is their garlic chicken pizza.”
“This barbecue restaurant is a true hidden gem! The service was incredibly prompt, and the staff's passion for their craft shone through. The food was a culinary delight, from the perfectly smoked ribs to the delectable sides. The cozy ambiance, with its wooden furnishings and soft lighting, created a relaxed atmosphere that was perfect for unwinding. I left with a full belly and a big smile.”
“Had the sunday brunch. Food was very good and a nice variety. Lily (our server) kept the drinks full and the table clean and was checking on us often. It isn't inexpensive ($38 for adults) but if you come hungry, you can definitely get your money's worth.”
“My lunch plate was super delicious. I had got a honey, walnut, shrimp and chow mein. It was super flavorful not even salty like the most Chinese food places candy when it comes to chow mein the guy who took my order of the phone was super nice super friendly and professional, and he was like that when I walked in the place is very clean, very chill and very relaxed.”
“I ordered the braised eggplant with fish garlic sauce, and the pork noodle dish. While each dish was cooked with precision, the flavors failed to leave a lasting impression. Despite their culinary craftsmanship, the flavors lacked the depth and vibrancy I had hoped for, leaving me searching for ways to enhance the taste so I added soy sauce and chili sauce.The restaurant serves as a casual outing, However, for those in pursuit of culinary enchantment and gastronomic delight, it may be worth exploring other dishes for a more captivating experience. There were fresh dumplings being made, so if I come back, I will definitely order some of those.The restaurant was pretty, quiet, and a tip I would give to the owner is to play some music in the background.”
“When my grandkids come over we all love to order one of the big supreme 20", 16 slice pizzas. Lots for everyone and the Greek salad is great with their special vinaigrette dressing. Get what your paying for here and enjoy the superb pizza sauce and fresh toppings! Family owned and run in our neighborhood. From small to giant pizzas, they have one for you!”
“Their salt and pepper chicken cartilage is so good! Also really like their original flavor noodles. The spicy beef brisket one is really good too but can feel a bit too greasy as you eat ”
“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.”
“One of my go to local Japanese restaurants. Mainly because of their Godzilla roll. I don't think I've had or seen Godzilla rolls at other Japanese restaurants and the one here is quite good. The sashimi pieces are thick. However, their rolls are on average smaller than many Japanese restaurant I've been to. The service is good. I also really like their decoration.”
“Horatio's is down at the old marina, shame the city shut the marina down but the restaurant is still there. Casual seafood place that has been around forever. They remodeled the inside recently, look nice. Clean and the food is good.”
“I think this is a good restaurant, one that looks like mexican is also very interesting, the taste is amazing, this is the best restaurant I have ever eaten in my ”
“Since the pandermic, their fees have increased, and portions have decreased. I received the same portions that reflected the cost of variety entries. NO LINE OR WAIT. Warned about limited parking that results in tickets.”
“We were there celebrating my friends bday! Omg what a delicious food! Lamb byriani was beyond fantastic! The staff is very friendly, food comes fast and serves 2 person easily. I will definitely come back!”
“First time eating here, we came for the food food. It was delicious got my entire family our own individual meals , Even though the portions are a really good size, we wanted to try Uber rioting things because we couldn't pick cause it all looked are good. And after we ate it we were glad we did. We tried the medium sauce purchased it. It was so delicious and I love and it have fish inside. We will definitely be back, and I told my family about it already.Kid-friendliness: Recommended an incredible dish for my daughter. She loved it, enjoyed the Corn bread as well.”
“One of the best fried chicken in a long time. It looks dry but there's a lot of juice and flavor once you get into it. If it was delivered I don't think it would taste as good. The fried cod was good but not great because it wasn't juicy or buttery soft.The cornbread sides were yummy. The Mac and cheese was cheeeeesy and thick and medium spicy. Collard greens were normal. Green beans were sweet and yummy. Fries were normal fries.I asked for tap water since I didn't want a drink and the server looked surprised (and partly disgusted because I wanted faucet water?) and asked if I wanted bottled water instead. I said sure so we could end the conversation and didn't see the charge on the final receipt. I wasn't sure if the server forgot to add it or bottled water is free. Overall not a complaint but if you want to avoid drink confusion, either don't order water or bring your own lol”

“Just a turkey sandwich it was fine the fries were hot and salty yum ? out server on it with water and refills, got there before dinner crowds half hour quiet and pleasant.”
“We came in ok monday and ordered around 8:16 pm. I was VERY impressed, in fact most impressed by the quality overall. It’s been awhile since I ate Denny’s as one of the last times I didn’t have too good of an experience. My husband ordered the new strawberry stuffed French toast and I ordered the breakfast slamburger (I think that’s what it’s called) and pancakes for the kids. Soooooo good! I can’t even tell you the last time I was this happy with my food overall from anywhere but my own kitchen. Everyone was full and satisfied which can be rare for the whole family to experience. Huge shout out to the cook(s) thank you! We ate every last bit :D The manager (she seated us & checked us out) was amazing. She made us feel so welcome. She's definitely the person you want handling customers & would be a great customer service trainer. From beginning to end,we really had an awesome visit. . Our waitress was quick & friendly. She also came back to check on us a couple times. Our food was hot & delicious. The restaurant was very clean inside & out. Reasonably priced. When we left, the manager said "Goodnight fam,we'll see you again soon." And you know what..we felt like family & will definitely be back i recomend this Cali Club Sandwich, New Mile High Denver Omelette, Hamburger, Grilled Chicken, Cheeseburger, Sausage, Grand Slam Breakfast, French Toast, Hash Browns, Cinnamon Roll y Strawberry french toast coffee was fresh strawberry smothie was the boom !!”
“Hot fresh tacos, kind staff, customer service with a smile ☺️?.Parking: Easy in and outKid-friendliness: Very kid friendly ?Wheelchair accessibility: Very accessible ?”

“5 stars for service!! Staff was super attentive and quick & hardworking despite it being quite busy. Refilled our bonchons when it got empty without us asking, explained what different sauces/things were for.Food was pretty good. Ginseng chicken was a little bit dry for the chicken and lacking in ginseng, but this is in comparison to the ones I had in Korea. Tofu soup & seafood pancake were pretty good; had better elsewhere (not in the bay) but it does the job. Japchae was a little too elastic but had good taste! Slightly on the pricier end as well (tofu soup was $17.5)”
Takeout Restaurants
“I love the blueberry ice cream that they have there. It is so delicious. Especially on a hot summer or spring day. Or perhaps just anytime. We go there and get the lemon ice cream. Also that's old school you know but this place is awesome. It's been there in the community for some years and I love it.”
“Great little spot for breakfast. It only seats about 25 customers, so you might have to wait to be seated. Worth it though. I had the chicken fried steak and eggs. Everything was good and cooked perfectly. Atmosphere is cozy, and the staff is friendly. I will definitely be back.”
“Some of the best pizza in the east bay and may even greater Bay Area. Jersey style, sourdough crust, combos you won’t find elsewhere. Make sure you order ahead, they will sell out!”

“First time ordering from here, I ordered a Pork Bahn Mi & it was SO delicious!! Bread is tender, they were VERY generous on the amount of pork & the pork is cooked & seasoned to perfection! So tender! Highly recommend!!”
“We were absolutely blown away by the beauty of our wedding cake! It was a true work of art, and it added a touch of elegance to our special day. Not only did it look amazing, but it tasted equally divine. Our guests couldn't stop complimenting how delicious it was. Thank you to the talented team who created this masterpiece. It was the perfect centerpiece for our wedding!”

“Tasty cookies that pair well with hot tea or coffee. They are a little sweet, so it's good to have them with a hot beverage. Had the almond cookies from a friend's aunt who bought them for us from the West Coast, to the East Coast.”
“this is my favorite restaurant EVER. amazing for vegans. also my dad got a bento box and the portion size was so much more than we expected and it was really appreciated. the miso soup is amazing as well.”
“This place was delicious and the food here was great, this may have been the best Vietnamese food I have ever had. I may have had to drive 7-8 hours to get here but it was all worth it, I would recommend this place to everyone because the French fries were also very good. This place serves the food very fast and it was absolutely delicious 5 stars and will come back again.”
“My fav items here are the passionfruit mango agua fresca and the empapelados with carne asada!

Definitely try a marquesita!!!!”

Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Free parking here. Even if security guards are present, do not leave personal belongings in the car.This place was packed when I got here. Lots of tables left dirty. Service was quick, as always. The food was delicious as expected.”
“Great pizzas! Do not confuse them with Papa John's! I like these so much better. They have interesting combinations. I'm not a fan of pepperoni, so the vegetable pizza was really nice.”
“My new favorite burrito spot and its right up the street from me in San Leandro!I cannot believe the deal I just got on this enormous burrito. Its called the XL burrito, but it should be called the giant rocket; its the largest burrito i've ever seen!Its about the size of two super burritos anywhere else, and comes with two choices of meat plus everything else you'd expect. The service here is great and took only about 4-5 minutes to make. The best part? IT'S $10.50!!!!! I'M NOT KIDDING. Check out the picture; i put a can of water next to it lolI went with chicken and carnitas and it didnt disappoint. So flavorful and obviouslty filling. You can feed a family of four with just this one burrito. If you're in the area, you gotta stop by and try their food, its totally worth it!”
“I arrived around 11 am, finding the place pleasantly quiet. Placing a to-go order, I was delighted to discover that the food exceeded my expectations, capturing the anticipated flavors perfectly. In an industry that often goes unnoticed, this restaurant deserves a commendation for maintaining consistent food quality and lightning-fast service. I look forward to revisiting in the future, as they offer ample, affordable portions that truly stand out.”
“Has a root beer float Amazing!While I was talking with the cashier she told me good choice. Because we make the root beer fresh , I was very surprised.Restrooms very clean as well.”
“Funniest thing at this McDonald's is they won't let you buy the happy meal toy without buying the whole happy meal & I wanted the Super Mario toys so I ended up buying three Happy meals ???”
“I was craving French toast sticks, again, so I swung by the drive-thru. The service was speedy, and the taste and quality were consistent with my previous experience at a different BK yesterday. However, I noticed this location charged slightly more for the same item, which surprised me since I assumed they had standard pricing.”
“It's a Taco Bell.What can you expect?Order your food and go.It's a fast food restaurant, not a Michelin star restaurant. Good for a quick and cheap meal.No need to yell at the cashiers. They're just making minimum wage trying to survive around here.”

“I always come here for the Crispy Panko Fish as it’s my favorite item on the menu. This Wendy’s in particular has not failed me when it comes to serving fresh hot food. If you’re looking for an amazing fish sandwich order the crispy panko fish sandwich with onions, lettuce, tomato, pickles, and double cheese.”

“This place was delicious and the food here was great, this may have been the best Vietnamese food I have ever had. I may have had to drive 7-8 hours to get here but it was all worth it, I would recommend this place to everyone because the French fries were also very good. This place serves the food very fast and it was absolutely delicious 5 stars and will come back again.”

“This barbecue restaurant is a true hidden gem! The service was incredibly prompt, and the staff's passion for their craft shone through. The food was a culinary delight, from the perfectly smoked ribs to the delectable sides. The cozy ambiance, with its wooden furnishings and soft lighting, created a relaxed atmosphere that was perfect for unwinding. I left with a full belly and a big smile.”

Really good eggs and hash browns andvgravy.You may have to wait when you go earlier. And it's in this wonderful California ranch style outdoor shopping area. Slowing down time a bit is a good thing.”

“Been coming to this same truck FOREVER. The food is on repeat. Literally never a bad day. Being a regular and knowing it's the same person you see always has me know the food has a face. Service on point, and the ambiance is what you'd expect from any food truck. I'd recommend this spot to anyone. My normal go tos are the chorizo breakfast burrito, any of the tacos, any of the burittos. I always mix it up.”

“Best tasting pizza places in the bay area. My experience at mountain Mike's San Leandro Marina was delicious. I highly recommend this place. I've been here 3 times already and pizza came out fantastic 3 times. The buffet is definitely worth it ? and tasty including the salad. I will be coming again often. ?”

“I've always liked Taqueria Los Pericos, they have several locations and I've only ever been to this one. Plus in Oakland/San Leandro/East Bay there are several taqueria options in restaurant or truck forms.I've always enjoyed this place. I usually order their burritos, I'm a bigger fan of burritos than tacos. I usually get their super burrito with al pastor (grilled pork) or shrimp, their super burrito comes with more ingredients like guacamole and sour cream.They have a chip and salsa station which I really enjoy.When I've gone there and ordered for-here, they have a pretty big staff and turnaround orders really quick.They have plenty of seating inside and I've never not been able to find a seat.”
“Anyone who now's this place no that it's nothing bad to say, they have some of the best food I've ever had.Parking: Parking is right in front of the door.”
“Their Blood Orange IPA is magnificent! I was in the Bay Area for the New Year so I had to visit their brewery. Huge brewery inside & outside with outdoor patio, great for big gatherings.They have appetizers and sandwiches but their main is obviously their craft beers. They have variety of beers so if its your first time, start with flights and see what you like. They also have Happy Hours on the weekdays. Their August Beer Festival is one of a kind.4.6/5 ⭐️”
“Super cute boba shop with floral walls. Service was a little slow but that's because there was only one worker. She was super super nice, even explained the different teas. They have specialty tea that's super popular in China. It was really good and perfect amount of sweetness (even at 100% sweet). Boba pearls were decent though.”
“This is a really nice restaurant in a great location. It's peaceful, cozy and has a nice outdoor patio. I appreciate that because I can bring my dog there. The staff were kind and attentive. The food was exquisite. I will definitely go here again as it's now my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in the area.”

“I've seen a noticeable improvement in regards to customer service. The food is always good, but the last 4 times I've gone, I see the service getting better. Last Wednesday I had a very nice & efficient guy help me. His pleasant demeanor was more than I personally expect from what is basically fast food. 4.5/5Parking: Lots of parking, but it does get packed on weekends.”
“Just a turkey sandwich it was fine the fries were hot and salty yum ? out server on it with water and refills, got there before dinner crowds half hour quiet and pleasant.”
“We came in ok monday and ordered around 8:16 pm. I was VERY impressed, in fact most impressed by the quality overall. It’s been awhile since I ate Denny’s as one of the last times I didn’t have too good of an experience. My husband ordered the new strawberry stuffed French toast and I ordered the breakfast slamburger (I think that’s what it’s called) and pancakes for the kids. Soooooo good! I can’t even tell you the last time I was this happy with my food overall from anywhere but my own kitchen. Everyone was full and satisfied which can be rare for the whole family to experience. Huge shout out to the cook(s) thank you! We ate every last bit :D The manager (she seated us & checked us out) was amazing. She made us feel so welcome. She's definitely the person you want handling customers & would be a great customer service trainer. From beginning to end,we really had an awesome visit. . Our waitress was quick & friendly. She also came back to check on us a couple times. Our food was hot & delicious. The restaurant was very clean inside & out. Reasonably priced. When we left, the manager said "Goodnight fam,we'll see you again soon." And you know what..we felt like family & will definitely be back i recomend this Cali Club Sandwich, New Mile High Denver Omelette, Hamburger, Grilled Chicken, Cheeseburger, Sausage, Grand Slam Breakfast, French Toast, Hash Browns, Cinnamon Roll y Strawberry french toast coffee was fresh strawberry smothie was the boom !!”

“I've been going to Jasmines for at least 25 years now, and the food is still very good, and reasonably priced. There's no dining in, but besides that, you'll be happy you tried it. Everything is good, seasoned well, and nice sized portions too. Give them a try. You'll be back.”
“My lunch plate was super delicious. I had got a honey, walnut, shrimp and chow mein. It was super flavorful not even salty like the most Chinese food places candy when it comes to chow mein the guy who took my order of the phone was super nice super friendly and professional, and he was like that when I walked in the place is very clean, very chill and very relaxed.”
“Simply the best -- potatoes not over cooked, perfect balance of mustard, vinegar & mild sweetness. Very hard to find-- would love to see it in the big grocery stores, not just Costco. - I'm addicted- it's that good.”

“Horatio's is down at the old marina, shame the city shut the marina down but the restaurant is still there. Casual seafood place that has been around forever. They remodeled the inside recently, look nice. Clean and the food is good.”
“I had a great time at Crabby Crabby with my family. We ordered the family combo with king crab, dungeness crab, shrimp, crawfish, corn, potatoes, and garlic noodles. The seafood was fresh and flavorful, and the sauce was spicy and delicious. The portions were generous and we had plenty of leftovers. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was cozy and casual. We enjoyed the happy hour specials and the free corn and potatoes with the crab. The prices were reasonable for the quality and quantity of food. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who loves Cajun and Creole cuisine”
“Solid spot in the east bay for dumplings. Big open restaurant with friendly quick service. Great deals for their lunch specials. Dumplings are solid across the board.”
“Came here for lunch on Saturday and there was no line. It's a pretty small place, so i imagine there would be some lines if it was busy. There is a small parking lot right next door which is awesome. We were helped when we walked into the restaurant. We ordered a mixed tempura, chirashi don and a 8 piece nigiri with a California roll (sushi combo). Everything came out pretty quickly. The chirashi bowl came with a bowl of ice on the bottom which is very different but awesome. The sashimi was sliced nice and thin and was very fresh as well. The mixed tempura had the cutest little basket. The tempura was fried perfectly. The sushi combo with 8 piece nigiris sun California roll is a pretty good deal. The nigiri was a good size. Overall everything was great.”

“Wow this place is amazing!!!! Every slider is packed with a flavorful punch!!! Be warned the levels of spiciness range from low to extreme. I respect Dave’s Hot Chicken for keeping their menu affordable to the community, thank you for that. The sliders are cooked to order, very juicy, flavorful and HUGE! If you are not adding honey to your slider you are eating it wrong!!!! Eat the slider with honey folks, you will experience a powerful majestic energy within your mouth as you devour the monstrous slider. Love this place!!!To the owner: I suggest adding some music to the place.”
“I've been coming here for over 10 years and I love this little place. Always a smile when I come in and the service is always great. Their ranch dressing is the best, highly recommend it with your curly fries :)”
“This review is NOT for their chicken noodle (which I hear is very good) but for their seafood noodle soup and fresh squeezed sugarcane drinks!The seafood noodle soup doesn’t get its fair share of attention. It’s a delicious flavor and a generous portion. Plenty of ingredients, and ask them for the ginger sauce to go with it and it’s the bomb!We’ve been grabbing their sugarcane drinks for ages now. I prefer the simple one with kumquat but there’s lots of flavors to choose from. It’s always so thirst quenching especially on a warm day. Brings me back to Southeast Asia right away. My only gripe are the prices for the drinks sky rocketed in the past year, but that’s inflation for ya.They just expanded their indoor space so there’s almost twice as many tables now and they’re usually full at peak lunchtime. Easy parking in the mall lot. Come just past lunchtime like around 1 or 1:30pm to avoid the crowds.”
