Cool and cozy restaurant near Downtown San Mateo! There are tons of different options mostly Japanese food, ranging from yakitori to sushi to ramen. All the items are super good, too! My favorites were the chicken thigh yakitori, the ...
This is a very nice, relaxing place for lunch. The Thai chicken appetizer was great. Chicken rice was good but the chicken was a lil dry. Tom yum noodles were great. ...
Pretty surprised about the quality here, its good, has a Japanese cafe vibe in terms of aesthetics and background music. The fusion dishes blend both Thai and Japanese themed pretty well. ...
Amazing food, amazing service and everyone has amazing hair! Makes sense considering the parent company. We were a little skeptical of fusion restaurants but they really do it well here. Everything was absolutely delish and the presentation was 1010. Cant wait to come back
There are so many options on the menu, and I just wish I could try them all someday. Every single dish is nearly perfect, with some tasting even better than those in the original country. ...
If I could give this place more than 5 stars I would. The papaya salad and creamy mushroom chicken pho were two of the best things Ive ever had. The staff are super sweet and welcoming, I had a great time!
