    It was just grand opened 3 months ago to replace "chicken and tea", at which we used to come for take-out sometimes dine-in. Was informed by staff that they use the same menu albeit with different recipe, and new owner also owns TP Tea next door, which explained why their boba milk tea tasted icky. Owner doesn't want to lose the competitive advantage of his adjacent little boba shop's, which however was equivalently awful, being cheap and meager. I'd suggest to skip them both until they get the act of integrity together. Too artificial and sweet, both Jasmine green and thai milk tea were awful! Nothing tasted right and will not order them again. Bentos were great. Ordered three, all good. Vegetables were palatable to eat. Newly renovated, store was bright, quiet yet vivacious. Friendly staff. Recommend bento but don't recommend milk tea drinks.

    Basil chicken rice
    Richard C.

    4.5 stars. Classic Taiwanese bentos. Good portion size, comforting taste, quick and convenient. Pretty similar menu to O2 valley in Cupertino. The sides rotate per day; I got Napa cabbage and string beans in my bento this time around. Both were well seasoned and flavorful. They offer spicy pickles on top of the bento which added a really nice kick and texture. The basil chicken was good, with plenty of basil and chunks of chicken. It does feel a touch oily, but it tastes yummy nonetheless. Overall, if you're looking for a quick comforting meal, this place will deliver.

    No more Chick n Tea here, but Hello Rice is also a modern Taiwanese bento box, beverage & snack spot. Parking lot can get congested during lunch hours, but it's a good location in Sunnyvale. Yes, they have a self service kiosk inside. If you dine in, leaving a tip should be optional, but the cashier still tends to carry your foods/beverages to your table inside. I like the bento box options and beverages. Most people just order takeouts/grab and go for convenience. It does take awhile at least 12-15 minutes for your orders if dining in though. Staffs are ok. Pick up your own trash and clear your own table. The original classic milk tea I ordered was only $5 and cup was tall! That's really worth the value here, especially if you don't want to purchase it for $7-$8 elsewhere. Food portions are good sized. My basil chicken bento box meal turned out to be good too. Lots of sauces/juices in my vegetables/chicken meats/mapo tofu/etc. I had to take half home because I could only finish half of the meal. There's plenty to try during a next visit.

    Chicken cutlet
    Tuss R.

    Ordered delivery and wow, so yummy. Great portions. Everything well flavored but also balanced, 2 different veggies and 3 different proteins! Yum. Definitely would get again.

    Popcorn Chicken Bento
    Jerry C.

    Came on a Thursday night for a quick dinner. The interior was clean and unassuming, and you place your order on a tablet. There were a lot of togo orders online, seems like a popular takeout spot! I got the Popcorn Chicken bento, and it came out within 5 minutes of ordering which was super quick. I added the option of spicy pickled radish on the side, and it was spicy and delicious--I wish there was more haha. The chicken was crispy and flavorful, and fried basil was good. Good portion overall, also next to TP Tea and Molly Tea if you want boba afterwards. In a popular area, friendly staff, quick service, would like to try more of their other snacks and bentos next time!

    Newly opened Taiwanese place that replaced the Chick & Tea. The interior is remodeled so looks refreshed from before. Food served is similar too as the previous place. There's a single ordering kiosk which moved a little slowly but perhaps also because the menu is probably new for everyone. I ordered dine in and later realized I could have ordered from the seat since they have a QR code menu by toasttab which is probably easier if you are dining in. Once ordered there was maybe a 10minute wait for the food. I ordered: #B7 Basil Teriyaki Chicken Rice Plate ($16) : rating 3/5. It was pretty good and I enjoyed it until I was packing up the left overs and noticed it was swimming in a pool of oil. I've never seen that before. Usually some sauce with the oil but this was just oil left over. Also a little disappointed the second side with the chicken was another chicken dish. Would have preferred to have two vegetables instead for variety. # F1 Tradition Chicken Cutlet ($11) : rating 3/5. I ordered it medium spicy and it was fried nicely but I only tasted spicy flavor and not the other spices and powders they usually use. Hoping since they just opened that they will slowly improve some of the recipes they have. I'd still be interested in coming back to try more items. The owner also went around the tables talking to customers to ask how everything was and how we found out about them. She also said if we write a google, yelp, or little red book review they would give you a 10% off coupon. However, I already got a 10% off for yelp check in that's valid until I think 1/11.

    Braised Pork plate
    Christy M.

    Braised pork cutlet tasted like the ones from the night markets in Taiwan. Love that the bento comes with so much variety of home cooked dishes. They also have spicy pickled radish you can add to the rice, which compliments the braised pork rice really well. Definitely going to try other bento boxes from here next time

    Very nice and friendly employees! The ambience is very clean and inviting. Excited to see their new menu in a couple months from now!

    I love the Tom Kha Khai Soup, I've ordered it maybe 3 times over now…read more I tried this Cupertino and Milpitas location and I can safely say the Cupertino location reigns superior over both. It has the best service, the best ambiance. Although the place is smaller than Milpitas it brings in a more comforting ambiance especially with the decoration that makes it feel more like a home rather than a restaurant chain. The food is excellent, we tried the Tom Kha Khai Soup and the Green Curry. Along with Chicken Skewers which were HUGE! The Thai Tea was excellent and the Mango Sticky Rice was of course amazing. Overall had a great experience and worth the wait (we waited around 30 minutes) for a table of two.

There was a waitlist (I didn't see it on Yelp to join earlier than arrival). We waited about 20 minutes before we were seated. A menu is left outside for people to look at, so we knew what we wanted to order immediately after being seated. I would check the utensils etc before using as my set was still dirty. Staff replaced it quickly. We ordered the four dishes: Papaya salad- incredibly fresh and crunchy. It was soooo good Pad See Ew with Beef - very flavorful! It was exactly what I was craving. Beef was super tender. Noodles were delicious. Green curry with chicken- my boyfriend was a big fan of this! It is a bit on the saltier side for me; but still good. Fried tofu- 10/10!! You can never go wrong with this! Overall, the food was delicious and service was great! I would definitely return!

The parking lot isn't massive, but finding a spot isn't difficult, if my experience is anything to go by. Solo and duo diners are usually seated at normal tables, but large parties have the option of sitting in shoes-off washitsu rooms with tatami mats. The menu is very large, with specific sections condensing their vegetarian & gluten-free offerings. You get a paper menu detailing their specials, and the rest of the menu is accessed through a QR code (which I am personally not a fan of). True to its self-identification as a Japanese fusion tapas spot, the menu ranges from sashimi to soba to risotto korokke to pizza and so on. I recommend eating family-style with a group, as portion sizes are definitely tapas-sized, and trying a little bit of a lot is the best way to experience what Gochi has to offer. Though the atmosphere is great for a date night, the two-seater tables are set up very close to each other, so there won't be much privacy. Most of the dishes I found to be good, but perhaps not exceedingly impressive. The yuzu ceviche was stellar, with fresh fish and a strong citrus flavor, but the accompanying potato chips were a little thick and lacking salt. The sashimi was beautifully presented and fresh, but the pieces were a little smaller than I had expected. The risotto korokke was alright as well; the sauce was great, but the risotto inside was a little bland. Overall, I thought this to be a decently enjoyable experience. The atmosphere is great, the service is good, and the food is varied and interesting. The dishes range from being pretty affordable small dishes to a little too pricey to be worth what you get, so I'd definitely spend a little extra time perusing the menu. I will likely return to try some of the other items in the future.

    My family and I came to Gochi Japanese Fusion Tapas for Father's Day, and it ended up being such a…read moregreat choice. We ordered a variety of dishes to share, and it was one of those meals where everyone at the table found something they loved. One dish I was surprisingly impressed by was the Ankimo (steamed monkfish liver in ponzu). I'll admit, the word liver immediately made me hesitant, and if they hadn't told me what it was, I probably would've been less nervous trying it. But I'm really glad I did because it was incredibly buttery, smooth, and rich. It almost melts in your mouth, and I honestly think it would pair perfectly with a bowl of steamed rice. We also ordered the Hiyayakko (cold tofu with ginger & scallions), which was a really refreshing starter. The tofu was silky smooth and delicate, and the ginger, scallions, and soy-based seasoning added just enough flavor without taking away from the freshness of the tofu. It was simple, but really well done. We also ordered the Salmon Mayo Yaki Onigiri. While it was good, I think this is the one dish I'd probably skip next time. The crispy grilled rice ball itself was delicious, but there just wasn't enough salmon mayo on top. It felt like I only got a tiny spoonful, so once that was gone, it was mostly just rice. Since my family couldn't decide, we ended up ordering all three clay pots: the Sake Oyako Meshi (grilled salmon & salmon roe), Unagi Meshi (BBQ freshwater eel), and Tori Soboro Meshi (braised ground chicken). Out of all of them, the Unagi Meshi was easily my favorite. The eel was tender, slightly smoky, and coated in a sweet-savory glaze that soaked into the rice underneath, making every bite incredibly satisfying. The clay pots also gave the rice a nice crispy layer on the bottom, which added even more texture. We also shared two of their signature pizzas: the Mentai Kinoko and the Nasu Curry. I wasn't expecting much since it's pizza at a Japanese restaurant, but they were honestly so good. The crust was paper-thin, crispy, and light, so it didn't leave you feeling heavy afterward. The Mentai Kinoko had a great balance of spicy cod roe, snow crab, mushrooms, bacon, and cheese, while the Nasu Curry had a rich curry flavor that paired surprisingly well with the eggplant and cheese. Both were huge hits with my family. The restaurant itself has a warm, traditional Japanese atmosphere that makes it feel cozy and inviting. The server was incredibly friendly and helpful, taking the time to explain the menu and recommend dishes when we couldn't decide what to order. Their recommendations definitely did not disappoint. My whole family left happy, and it's one of those restaurants where I already know I'll be coming back to try even more of the menu.

Complimentary soup served was Corn Egg Drop Soup. Service was very attentive and friendly. Food came out a little on the slow side considering it wasn't too busy.
