    Bento

    Little gem near my work. This is my boss's favorite spot so I had to try it out. Their terriyaki chicken was nicely cooked & California roll tasted was well-balanced combination of flavors and textures. Not too dry or mushy. The lady was friendly and they have tables and chairs.

    Transparent or clarified pricing when ordering online or via phone. Quality of food vs price is also skewed.

    TLDR: rude service and doesn't wash hands, terrible food I came here for lunch. The staff owner is not friendly. She is rude: she doesn't get the order correct and then comes up to me tells me I didn't charge your for chips. I said. Ok and reach for my credit card. She asked do you have cash??! I said: no I never made a scene so I let it slide. Then I see she goes out to throw out the trash and she returns and I ask her for a box. For the rest of my food. She says I'll wrap it. She then proceeded to touch my food. A sandwich with her dirty hands. She never washed her hands. I will never return for terrible service and unhealthy habits that clearly violate health and safe safety food handling. Stay away. The food is also not good.

    Perfect location walking distance from the airport hotels, especially if you're looking for a late lunch when other restaurants are closed! The food is delicious and the older couple running it are so lovely. Great mix of (authentic) Asian cuisine and American favorites. Pro tip: walk along the water when coming to/from your hotel to enjoy spectacular views.

    Amazing find! Staying across the street for an early morning flight and happened upon this little gem. Between the four of us we had a western burger, fries, chicken donburi, ton-katsu donburi and a bento with teriyaki chicken and gyoza. Everything was delicious and generous portions! The burger was well seasoned and the fries perfectly crispy. I tried a bit of all of the other items and the donburi sauce is outstanding. Appreciate the very polite service and cleanliness of the dining room. Would 11/10 come back again! (We joked that when we fly back into SFO in 3 weeks that we should stop in again for dinner before we start our drive home to the valley! I was not joking...yum!)

    Great place with high quality food! Definitely great customer service and will be coming more often. The salmon Teriyaki bento box is by far my favorite one around. I'm usually careful but this place is on the money!

    Been working in this area for over three years and never even noticed Bullshead Express till now. Going in, I was expecting burgers, but that only took up a small portion of their menu. Their menu also includes: Sandwiches, salad, noodles, bento boxes, sushi rolls and more. I was a little shocked at what my total came out to be. My boyfriend and I ordered a Chirashi bowl, seafood Udon, two hot teas and it totaled up to $67 excluding tips. It was pricey, but the portions were huge and it was very delicious. So much umami in my seafood udon, which had mussels, scallops, salmon, hamachi, shrimp, tai, bak choy, spinach and onions. The Chirashi had three large pieces of salmon, hamachi, tuna, tai, seared tuna, a mixture of sashimi in poke form and a spicy imitation crab wrapped in a cucumber on top of sushi rice. We got more than what the menu said it would have. Although a little shocked when paying, I personally think that the pricing was reasonable for the items that I ordered because seafood is expensive and the owners did not skimp on the ingredients. I didn't order, but I did look at the three item bento boxes and the pricing for that was quite steep. The base price is $23.95, which really only comes with chicken teriyaki, gyoza, California rolls, or avocado rolls because anything else is an additional $1-2. If you want a repeat of one item, it's an additional $2-$5. Pricey....however, I do love supporting local businesses and the food was prepared with care by a lovely couple. I enjoyed all the items that were ordered during my visit.

    Bento

    Did a bento box. The food was ok, not the best value. I'd rate it a 3.5. The tuna sashimi was kind of bland, so not the best cut. The teriyaki chicken seemed to be a pre cooked piece heated up with teriyaki sauce. Rubbery is the best word. Burgers looked good, will try those next time. As for sushi there are better deals nearby.

    BullsHead Express is the textbook definition of a hole in the wall restaurant. This place was even basically invisible even if you search your radius for restaurants on Yelp. This restaurant has been open for decades, but there isn't a ton of reviews which makes sense because of how hidden it is. It's close by the New England Lobster Market and I wanted to try out BullsHead even though their menu seemed strange with it being Japanese focused, but also serving burgers and sandwiches. Their name certainly doesn't scream authentic Japanese food. The location is discrete and parking is very easy. From the outside looking in my first thought is wow this place is really old and outdated. Every seat had tennis balls covering the bottom of the chairs which was funny to me and to be compeltely honest it's not the cleanest place in the world. My expectations were not high, but then you are greeted by an older couple that runs this family owned restaurant themselves. They were friendly and despite how this place looks I actually had a solid experience here. They take your order at the cashier then you sit down and I chose the 3 Item Bento Box ($23.95 + $3 for Tempura). Honestly it is on the pricier side for what it is which was surprising for the location. What keeps me from giving a 5 star is definitely pricing and for the bento box there is a lot of items that get a mark up of $3 or so like the tempura which can end up adding up to a pretty steep price. I have to say though, I really enjoyed my bento box. I got the California Roll, Chicken Teriyaki, and the Tempura that comes with vegetables and shrimp. The California Rolls were tasty and the avocados were fresh. The chicken teriyaki was honestly super tender and I liked how the teriyaki sauce didn't overpower the flavor of the well seasoned chicken. The tempura was honestly some of the best tempura I have had in such a long time. They didn't overdo it with the batter and it was incredibly crispy and flavorful. It surpassed my expectations easily and I was satisfied with my bento. My dad complained his sashimi was a small portion, but I had some of his salmon and it was solid, but I enjoyed my selections a lot more. Honestly, for what it is I was satisfied with the food at BullsHead Express and it is nice supporting a small family business. If you can stomach that fact that this is a pretty dated interior and the prices are a bit up there, the quality is still very good and the service is good as well.

    woops! already killed all my food, was so good!

We initially sat outside on their patio (which was quite nice) and moved inside as the night got colder. We ordered one classic burger with American cheese and one Outlaw. We also subbed our fries for parmesan garlic fries and tots. The burgers were really tasty; we especially enjoyed the classic burger. The tots were also great - crispy and perfectly fried. The parmesan garlic fries had good flavor but were too oily for our liking. For drinks, we got a blonde bombshell shake which was vanilla with strawberry drizzle around the glass. Service was very friendly and attentive, and their seating (both indoor and outdoor) is comfortable and spacious. As we ate our meal, we had a window view of the sunset. Our dinner came out to $70+ which was a bit steep but we enjoyed our experience.

The burger bowl with the ahi sauce is so filling and delicious. I wish they sold that sauce separately so I can put on my breakfast. Seriously consider it, I'd buy it by the bottle.

It was super empty when I arrived (late 11am ish) but it picked up really fast. There's tons of seating inside, including at the counter. The staff is also great and the food came out super fast. The food was really good. I'm quite picky about my burgers, and theirs was amazing. The meat is tender and flavorful, the bun is soft, and the dressing compliments everything well. In addition, I got a milkshake and chili cheese fries. The milkshake felt like 3 servings, so there's definitely a ton of value. I thought I under ordered, but the portions were so big that I had to take it to go. I'd recommend this place and I'll definitely be going again!

    One of the best burgers in the peninsula comes from a simple food truck that is just parked on a…read morerandom curb on El Camino. This food truck serves burgers, tacos, and quesadillas, pretty much a microcosm of what people usually eat in the Bay Area -- and what is actually missing in Millbrae because of the concentration of Asian food. It's also quite a high tech food truck, where you order via a giant touch screen. The folks who work the truck are nice, the only downside is that you can't eat the food right there, so it's always a bit cold by the time I get home. The food usually hits the spot, so I can only imagine if I could have it fresh off the grill! The competition between food trucks is pretty high here, so I'm not surprised by the caliber of the food at this truck. It's just such a curious location.

I liked how crispy the patties were, but they were on the dry side. I also ordered grilled onions but received raw onions instead. Overall, the burger was just ok
