Good choices and variety for Vegetarians. Tandoori Chicken was good, not too spicy. Dishes were too creamy, suitable for dieters. Appetizers include Chaat items. Service was prompt.

I frequent Yakko Sushi every other week for a late weekday dinner and for business with various co-workers. It is always a great environment with a great staff that is always willing to go the extra effort to get to know their returning customers. For those not in the know, it is always a blast when they host their special events and bring out the sake machine. Now, I am not much of a sake drinker, but when one can pour sake as it were a slurpee then it is definitely worth mentioning. As much as I enjoy traditional sushi, nigiri and sashimi, every time I visit Yakko?s I solely order from the sushi roll menu because they offer some of the spiciest rolls that my taste buds have ever tasted. My favorites are the Arizona roll and the Washington roll, not to be thrown off by the Americanized names, they are to rave about because the flavors are extraordinary and with the hint of wasabi in the soy sauce, then it is party in my mouth with every bite. Beyond the sushi, there is also a wide assortment of delicious appetizers and entrees one can sink their teeth into. And as a dessert, the chef always surprises us with a specially prepared plate of food that he comes up with on the spot; it is always different every visit. Last time we were treated to baby octopi coated in a very spicy sauce. Yakko Sushi is must for all sushi lovers living in Mounatin View and the adjacent communities.

This place has it all! There food and the service were great! If I have those 2 things, then my night is set! They have a big selection (vegetarian, too) and everything I've tried has been fantastic. My favorites are the Papaya Salad (Som Tum), Shrimp Pad Thai, Chicken or Duck Panang Curry, and my new favorite, Honey Pork. The service is fantastic. Their attentive and friendly EVERY time. If you like spicy food, you can vary the heat with a 1-5 heat system. Also try the pickled jalapenos (not thai chiles) in the little pepper rack with your meal. You have to ask for it and it goes along great with your meal. Adds even another layer of flavor. They're not open all day, so make sure you check the dining hours. They also have outside tables if it's one of those sunny days.
Pros: Good Food, Good Service

My boyfriend and I go to this restaurant whenever we want Thai. He orders either the cashew chicken or the mango chicken, I order the pad thai, and the food is always fantastic. I completely disagree with the person who wrote that this restaurant is vastly overrated. My best friend is Thai-American, and she says that this food is very good and quite authentic. I would give the restaurant five stars except that sometimes the service is slow.

This is my favorite Sushi getaway! After visiting other Sushi Restaurants in the area, I still continue to come back to Sono again and again. The atmosphere is friendly and the service is excellent. The menu selection is perfect for an afternoon snack or a late dinner for two. The fish is so fresh and full of excellent flavor. I highly recommend the "E" box for a nice variety of California rolls, Tuna, Eel, shrimp, and salmon. There Shrimp Tempura is exceptional as well. Enyoy!
Pros: quick and friendly service, menu variety, flavor, ambience, downtown location!
Cons: limited parking

When you want food and none of the frills like "please" and "thank-you," this is the place. You sit, order, eat, pay, and walk out with a satisfied belly. What you see is what you get. Some locations of Pho Hoa are better than others (avoid Sunnyvale and Milpitas and go to Cupertino) but it all really depends on what you order. This is comfort food. Noodles and hot soup. Yum.

I absolutely love this indian bakery. They have all different variety of cakes and cookes and provide a wide range of services. They are most popular for their eggless cakes that taste awesome. The price is a little bit more on the higher side but they are well worth it.

More
Returning to the Bay Area this winter to see friends and family, the first place I visited for a meal was Garden Fresh. Over the last few years, it's been a really nice treat for my wife and I, but since the restaurant went under new management late this year, the food has reached new heights. While the ambiance falls short on every scale, the food is what I consider the best vegetarian in the bay area. If you're into "fake meats", this place does wonders. Some of my favorites include the Vegetarian Pork Chop and General Tso's Chicken. Served with a complimentary corn chowder soup and brown rice, it's quite tasty and filling. I consider this one of the bay area's secret gems, and urge anyone who is into good food and willing to share in a vegetarian meal to visit this place. Note, if you're not into fake meats, I don't really recommend this place, as its speciality is this. Enjoy!

Each time we visit california, we have to go to this place. This is true, authentic sushi similar to what you can find in Japan. Fish variety is amazing and nigiri are to die for. Amazing freshness, balance and taste. They also have great appetizers like fish liver in ponzu and fried tofu. The restaurant is always packed but the sushi is definitely worth the wait!
