Blurr Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.1 (781) • $$

"Blurr Kitchen is located in a small shopping center in Santa Clara. I showed up about 15 minutes before closing, so parking wasn't an issue. I could see how it could be a problem during peak times. The food was plentiful. Even with all the food being on a warming tray, it seemed fresh. We got a few combo plates for takeout and the portion size was humongous. Literally, we could have shared one plate and still had a ton of left overs. Super excited to have Blurr Kitchen in our "backyard" and looking forward to trying other dishes from them."

"All you can eat. Food was pretty good to me. I just wish the service was faster but the staff were nice. It seemed they were low staffed. They did the best to try and change the grill too. But for a weekend day they should have more members. I dropped a star for that.But it was clean on the inside!Everything meat wise was yummy. Sauces were on point. Private lot in front"

Lucky Three Seven

★★★★☆ 4.2 (649) • $$

"POST-GAME AND PRE-GAME CAL FOOTBALL MEALSI'll admit the first time I heard about this place is what tragically happened to the owner. Due to that I wanted to come here to support Oakland businesses. Customers who ate here rave about the G Fire wings. The first time I came here was on a Sunday the day after Cal beat Auburn. Also that day was my birthday so I had two things to celebrate. I ordered the G Fire Wings along with two scoops of rice. I also ordered the XL lumpia as that is another item that customers rave. The G Fire Wings hype is real. They're worth ordering. These wings have a texture similar to the Korean chicken wings I ate at two Chinese restaurants in San Francisco. The XL lumpia is long and the pork filling is flavorful. After eating here I noticed the "Special of the Day" consisted of coconut chicken adobo with rice and G-Fire beef short ribs with rice. I knew I had to come back to Lucky Three Seven.The second time I came here was on Saturday October 5. Earlier that day I was at Berkeley (arrived around 3:50 AM) for ESPN College GameDay. I was hoping to order the coconut chicken adobo, but it wasn't available that day. I ordered one of the daily specials that day - pork belly adobo. I have a love-hate relationship with adobo as either it is a hit or miss with me at Filipino parties or restaurants. There are some reasons. I have had some adobos with the broth too soupy or oily. Other times the meat (pork or chicken) is dry and stringy. The adobo I ate at Lucky Three Seven was the pork belly adobo. The broth had that vinegar taste that associates with adobo. Also the broth wasn't too soupy. Most importantly the pork belly was moist. The fat was rendered well enough to eat. The pork belly adobo was one of the few times I've enjoyed eating adobo at a restaurant. The third time I came here was the following Saturday prior to the Cal-Pitt game. I was elated to see that the chicken coconut adobo was one of the specials of the day. The parts for the chicken adobo I had were the chicken wings. Regarding the broth the coconut milk cuts the sharpness of the vinegar. Yet there is still that adobo flavor from that dish. The use of the chicken wings results in a moist meat for this adobo dish. The chicken coconut adobo is the most unique adobo dish I've ever ate. The fourth time I came here was Saturday after the North Carolina State-Cal game. I came here close to 6:00 PM. One of the "Specials of the Day" was the G Fire short ribs with rice. The G Fire short ribs had a different flavor than the G Fire wings - the flavor similar to the short ribs on a Hawaiian lunch plate. The short ribs at Lucky Three Seven are meatier than most of the beef short ribs I've ate from other Hawaiian eateries.Whether before or after Cal sporting events if I am hungry I'll go to Lucky Three Seven."

"We were so lucky to have a party of 11, come on a Sunday evening ,and get seated right away. The host and staff were very accommodating of our small children and quick to help us. The food was easy to order through our phone and surprisingly affordable for being in downtown Redwood City! I love the self serve hot tea station. It smelled of cinnamon. The heaters and lights outside made for an enjoyable atmosphere. The interior transport you to a nice Mediterranean diner. The food was just as delightful and fresh. I love the baba ganoush, the tabouli salad, fluffy pita bread, and chopped chicken skewer plate with rice. The garlic sauce was so perfect. A surprising favorite was their giant charred cauliflower, seasoned and cooked perfectly. This was a sure highlight of our trip!"

Stuft Pizza

★★★★☆ 4 (633) • $$

"Perfect amount of food for a group of 4 people! We got a medium size pizza, the hot wings and potato wedges. Pizza is thick but crispy at the bottom, not too soggy. Wings are juicy and the hot sauce on the side is a good combination. I like it that they put sauce on the sides since I like to dip my wings. My favorite is the potato wedges because it's the perfect consistency/ texture that's crispy on the outside but soft on the inside. Highly recommend! Location offers countless IPAs and a perfect place to watch sports games or just hang out with friends. This place will be my favorite pizza spot! I recommend dining in over take out, so food won't be soggy. Easy transaction as well since you can just pay bills on your phone."

"First time and I loved my wings real bad! I got the lemon pepper and they were everything I was hoping for! Price and the service was good. The place was big and cold as hell! But I forgot how cold it was once my wings arrived! This place would definitely take lots of my money if I lived closer because these wings were the truth! I'd want to try all flavors! That's a fact!! The beef fried rice and green onion rice was delicious too!"

Oeste Bar & Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.8 (567) • $$

"If there's any place, I would recommend anyone to go to for brunch in Oakland it would be Oeste. I really enjoyed the energy in there and the food was packed with flavor. The rice and beans were to die for. My favorite thing there is the whole fried fish and baby Ceasar???? he was all about that salad (add the grilled chicken, trust me)"

"Amazing service and the staff are very polite. The wait was a little long as expected to come for brunch on Sunday. Food was very good also and ingredients are well prepared. Loved my fried chicken and waffles, wifey loved her ricotta pancakes. Will try the Loco Moco Next time. The ambiance is a little on the louder side since it's a small place. But cozy and feels very welcoming. Will definitely come back and visit The Sunday... on other days as well. Message to the two guys that helped us today: You guys are very very welcoming and nice and polite and The Sunday is very lucky to have both of you guys working there. You have made our day!!!!"

"Wow! Stopped here on a road trip with my family and loved it. The staff was super accommodating and even gave us a free pizza when they slightly messed up our complicated order. The food was amazing and the beer selection was a bonus surprise as well. Thank you especially to our server, Henry! That guy deserves a special award for going the extra mile."

KV Noodle

★★★★☆ 4.4 (336) • $$

"KV Noodle was amazing from start to finish. It's unassuming from the outside, but everything else is just how you'd want it to be. The vibe is part sports bar, part fancy restaurant. The service quick and attentive. The people working there seemed to be happy working there.And the food!!! I'll dream about that shrimp tempura tonight. The menu has changed a bit from some of the photos in other reviews-they no longer have the crispy noodles. Do we tried the combination yellow noodles (dry) and it did not disappoint. From the presentation to the taste it was superb. The spring rolls were fresh and the sauce it came with was delish. If our meal was any indication of the rest of the menu, I need to find more excuses to go to San Jose so I can try more things."

Volcano Island

★★★★★ 4.6 (303) • $$

"Such a hidden gem for Korean bunsik items: tteokbbokki, kimbap, and Korean fried chicken. I love that they do a boneless of the Korean chili large fried chicken. It comes with a side of radishes and makes it more authentic. Definitely call ahead to place your order ahead of time. There is no seating except some tables outside, so I highly recommend taking it back somewhere else to eat. My go to orders are: kimbap, japchae, tteokkbbokki, & large fried chicken with 1/2 soy garlic / 1/2 korean chili."

Odagada

★★★★☆ 3.8 (408) • $$

"This restaurant stays true to the authentic methods of Korean cuisine. Many of the dishes are perfect pairings for drinks and conversations, just like what you'd find at gatherings after work in Korea. The portions are very generous, one serving is often too much for just one person. My favorite is their spring onion fried chicken, which is best enjoyed fresh on site. The Korean ajummas are also incredibly friendly, adding to the warm and welcoming atmosphere."

Spoon Korean Bistro

★★★★☆ 4 (368) • $$

"I never leave disappointed whenever I go to Spoon! I've been here a few times and have tried some other dishes, but the tonkatsu is a must everytime!Some other dishes I've tried are stir fry octopus, short rib soup, and tteokbokki. All are decent but the tonkatsu is definitely the best. The perfect flavor and crisp. Whether you get the regular or cheese tonkatsu, you won't be disappointed. I've gotten it to go/delivered a few times as well and it was still nice and crispy!"

Fire Wings

★★★★☆ 3.8 (401) • $$

"This is strictly a review for a to-go order. I usually love getting the salt and pepper wings but this time they were extra salty. I had to eat it with something to make it edible. However, whenever I've had it in the past it was good so I think this might have been one off. The garlic noodles are super tasty. I also ordered all carrots but they still ended up giving be celery. Given this is a to-go order it wasn't as good in person since lost some of the crunch."

"Notify the press! China Station is back!Still soft opening, but they know what's important... spicy fried chicken wings! From what I was told, it is not the same owners, but they are related, so recipe is the same. From what I ate today, it sure tastes the same!Please note that during soft opening, the menu is limited (no party trays yet) and it is cash only!"

★★★★☆ 4.1 (258) • $$

"I love this place and my boys love it too. They have a lot of options and combos to choose from. They also have boneless wings which have more meat... Even though I love most of the flavors, my favorite has to be the boneless spicy lemon pepper ...The staff is always friendly!! They chat with us and give my boys extra fries, extra sauces, etc.The restaurant is also very clean. Too bad I'm about 35 minutes away, but it's worth the drive."

Half and half non veg - chicken tikka masala 5/5 and pesto chicken 4/5My personal favorites are chicken tikka masala and then next best was paneer :) must try!!I love the fact that they offer so many size options and price for regular crust and thin crust is the same :)Size options below:- mini 7 inch for $8- small 10 inch for $15- medium 12 inch for $18- large 14 inch for $23- giant 18 inch for $302 mediums were good for 4 of us as lunch.Definitely recommend it! #supportlocal"

Vons Chicken

★★★★☆ 4.1 (220) • $$

"Fried Chicken was a hit with my family. Placed a phone order and ready within 15 mins. Plenty of parking and conveniently located in a shopping center close to freeway off ramps. Ordered the crispy honey chicken and yangnyum. The pieces were just wings or drumsticks. My confusion or assumption was when it says "half or full," I thought it was half or whole chicken cut up because in LA it is done that way. Price-wise is on average with wingstop but the proportion is tastier and bigger. Definitely more money's worth in comparison. Half order comes with a large cup of pickled radish and full comes with two. Will try other options in the future."

Asia Express

★★★★☆ 3.9 (240) • $

"This is one of my Go-To spots when I just want some solid Chinese food. Nothing fancy, super tasty and really quick. I LOVE the Egg Chow Fun. It's one of my favorites to order along with their Combination Fried rice. I like to get the sesame chicken (though it can be sweet) and the Mongolian chicken. Some things that I tend to stay away from because they have better items are the Cashew Chicken and the soups. But overall love the staff and the food. There's usually a line during peak times but it's worth it! Call ahead if you don't want to wait too long."

And all four of us love the food!They have a smoking deal on order ahead/carry out.And they have boba drinks!What's not to love!"

Fire Wings

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (292) • $$

"They have some of the best fried chicken wings I've had in a very long time. I prefer the bone in wings vs the boneless. They are always crisp, give you the option to make them extra crunchy & how much seasoning you want them when ordering. I'm obsessed with the Lemon Pepper wings & ranch dipping sauce. I've had the Garlic Parmesan, Salt N Pepper wings as well...all "deelish". I haven't tried anything else because it's a wing place & I come for the wings. They satisfy that "I want some fried" craving very well. I've also only been to this location so I can't speak as to the consistency elsewhere, but they have been consistently good here. The only other location I'm aware of is San Mateo & they have more/higher reviews than my goto so I can imagine they are "Fire".cheers indeed!"

Scend's Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.1 (179) • $$

"For years, I passed this location up and I've always wanted to stop and give them a try. in February my husband and I stopped by and I ordered the fried chicken wing meal with a side of red beans and rice and collards. My husband went with the oxtails over rice and gravy. My honest opinion is that the food lacked salt and seasoning, and I am someone who does not add a lot of salt to my food. The chicken and snapper were cooked to perfection as were the oxtails, but they needed a little bit of salt. I have the same opinion for the sides. Everything is made with love by the hands of hard-working people and I recommend you come and give it a try and form your own opinion."

Curry Pizza House Fremont Mission

★★★★☆ 4.3 (161) • $$

"As some college students visiting a friends hometown for the weekend, i am so glad they showed us this spot. After a long drive, this was easy to pick up and not far from our stay. We got a chili paneer and the tandoori chicken pizza. our favorite was the tandoori chicken - we tried the chili panner due to other reviews and did really enjoy it as well. However we just really enjoyed the tandoori chicken one much better. This isn't chicken found on any fast food pizza, it was flavorful and juicy. The flavors were delicious and it was a very fresh pizza. If you're into crispy dough you might want to request well done crust, I like the crispy shell/chewy inner style of crust which i feel this has. Service was quick and the workers were very friendly! They even cut up the XL pizza into a grid as asked (we were feeding many people!) An XL 18inch pizza will comfortably feed 4-5 hungry people. Overall really enjoyed the space it was calm, clean, and welcoming."

Pizza Express

★★★★☆ 3.9 (190) • $

"If you want the biggest and the best pizza in the area, this is definitely the place to go. I remember when I first moved to Castro valley, one of the drivers drove up to the house and gasped when he had learned the old homeowners had moved and we replaced them. Gave us a very warm welcome to the neighborhood -- mind you, the first of our neighborhood to really welcome us, so that was quite a great service. Come several years later, we're still ordering pizza from pizza express as simply put, there's no better. My favorite is a traditional thick crust supreme pizza with tomato basil with pepperoni, ham, sausage, linguica... etc. A slice of that with a cup of ranch is just perfect."

"Noticed this spot while next door on my milk tea run. The wings pictured were so enticing, we had to check it out.We decided to dine in and ordered the medium combo, 10 wings + 5 drums, half soy garlic flavor and the other half Korean BBQ, with a complimentary side of coleslaw. We also ordered the seasoned French fries and pork buns.The wings are certified! They're big, juicy, crispy, and full of flavor. So delicious! The fries were perfection, seasoned nicely and just the right crisp level. The pork buns were delicious, too. Nice portion of meat and crunchy veggies.Service was wonderful! It got really busy after we were seated (all tables full except one), but our food came out fairly quickly, and our server still managed to be super attentive, friendly, and with a smile the entire time."

"I ordered the salt & pepper chicken wings with garlic noodles. The garlic noodles were pretty meh... disappointing and wouldn't get it again :/ the WINGS however... really redeemed the meal. I will definitely be coming back for these wings. They have hella flavors and I tried the lemon pepper too-- also great. Their drinks are affordable and tasty. I tried lychee lemonade and the Thai tea. Will def be back when I got munchies. Plenty of indoor seating & some good music"

Vons Chicken

★★★★☆ 3.6 (196) • $$

"I ordered the crispy padak chicken along with the honey butter flavor. The crispy padak chicken was outstanding, with perfectly fried pieces that were incredibly juicy on the inside while maintaining a delightful crunch on the outside. The scallions paired with the tangy sauce elevated the dish, adding a refreshing bite to balance the richness of the chicken. It's a great choice if you're looking for a well-balanced, flavorful meal.The honey butter chicken was equally delicious, offering a completely different experience. The chicken had a buttery glaze with just the right amount of sweetness, which wasn't too overpowering. The honey butter flavor melted in your mouth with every bite, making it a comfort food that's hard to resist.Both options highlight how this restaurant nails the texture and flavor of their fried chicken. The portion sizes were generous, and the service was prompt, adding to an overall satisfying dining experience. I highly recommend this place for anyone who loves Korean fried chicken and enjoys diverse flavor profiles."

Clifford's Chicken and Fish

★★★★☆ 4.4 (113) • $$

"Visited on a Monday evening, and the place wasn't too busy during the last hour of business. Parking was easy to find directly in front of the entrance. The interior of the restaurant was clean and casual, with wooden flooring and lovely artwork decorating the walls. Both indoor and outdoor seating available. Staff was friendly and provided immediate service, no wait to order. However, they accidentally mixed up my order with another customer. The staff was apologetic and fixed the error promptly, but I ended up having to wait 30+ minutes for my correct order. I wasn't in a hurry, so not a big deal, but still worth noting. Got the chicken thigh and catfish a la carte, as well as a couple honey butter biscuits. Omg, the fish and chicken were both so juicy and tender, and full of flavor. I loved the biscuits even more, fluffy and buttery, and so satisfying. The food was just fantastic! So although my recent experience here wasn't perfect, I would definitely return, especially for more of those biscuits :D"

Thaibodia Bistro

"Love love love that I stumbled across this place! We were looking for a takeout Thai food place on Mother's Day & found Thaibodia Bistro through yelp. We did the deal they had that was 4 entrees for $54.99... you get to choose 2 dishes that include beef or seafood at no extra cost. We chose shrimp fried rice, beef pad see ew, chicken pad Thai & bbq grilled chicken. We also got a side of mango sticky rice & Thai tea. All for around $75. You can't beat it! Entrees were a good size, there was 2 of us & we had enough for leftovers the following day. I love Thai food, as I've had many different places. I'll definitely be keeping Thaibodia Bistro in my regular rotation!"

BigSpoon Korean Restaurant

★★★★★ 4.5 (103) • $$

"We came on a Sunday night at around 7pm. There was a lot of parking in the back and a quick walk to the entrance. Inside, all of the tables were full but we were able to get one without a wait. The restaurant itself was small but clean. We ordered:Garlic & Chili chicken - 5/10 average, nothing mind blowing.Soy Chicken - 5/10 same as the garlic & chili, average.Kimchi fried rice with pork belly and cheese - 8/10 very flavorful but the portion was pretty small. Spicy pork bibimbap - 7/10 averageThe service was only mediocre. We received 7 side dishes but other tables had 9. All of the side dishes tasted very authentic and flavorful. Probably the best side dishes I've had compared to any other Korean place so far. I didn't realize we could ask for more for no extra cost. Our waters never got refilled, nor did we get a large bottle of water like other tables. We also only got one napkin which wasn't helpful since we had chicken. We also received someone else's order until the owner came over to correct it. Luckily we didn't touch it because it looked like it was given to the correct person shortly after they took it back to the kitchen. Overall, the food was good but the service was not my favorite."
