Surprising little neighborhood store serving the children and the kids in us adults in Belmont…read more Found this place when my hojicha latte go to place was closed. Situated right next door to Jiro's Cafe on Alameda De Las Pulgas. Enjoyed the milk tea that I purchased. Was thrilled that grass jelly was an option on the add ones list. Pleasantly surprised that the prices were more than reasonable. Also available but did not try their frozen yogurt bar... though it was tempting! Next time.

Ya-Ua Yogurt & Boba Tea is located on the street view of a busy main road. I did not realized how…read moreout of the way this spot was, until I was going down the long street it was on. Parking is street parking, but I was lucky and got a spot right out front. The exterior and interior was simple. Not much service either, they looked surprised when I walked in and it felt like they just wanted me in and out quickly. I originally wanted a jasmine green milk tea, which they said they do not have it anymore. Instead of suggesting a green milk tea - the employee just intently stared at me, so I asked If they had a green milk tea instead, which he responded with that they do. He rang me up quickly and told the other employee to make my drink. I looked around and they had a 'Pumping Station' for their frozen yogurt, but the machines did not looked like it had been used in a long time or it even worked. As I was pondering, I received my drink shortly after. My green milk tea with boba tasted okay. It had a good sweetness to it with 50% sugar. It was creamy with only a hint of tea taste, which I enjoyed. It had a graininess to it, which was off-putting. Overall, decent milk tea (besides the graininess) and size for the price.

Yumi Yogurt is like the little engine that could. It's been here forever. And with all the changes…read morethat have occurred over the years throughout the Bay Area, especially the Peninsula, this location has remained consistent throughout time. Flavor packed yogurt, perfect consistency every single time, not overly sweet. Flavor burst option is fun and imo a must try. They offer samples, so give a few a shot! If you come on a weekend evening, expect a line and a wait. But it is worth it. The team here always have always been so nice and welcoming.

If you're looking for a classic frozen yogurt spot, Yumi Yogurt has got you covered. This…read morefamily-owned business has been serving the Bay Area since 1985, with locations in San Mateo, Redwood City, and Santa Clara. They offer two distinct styles of soft serve: Flavor Burst, which is vanilla custard swirled with a flavored syrup for a striped effect, and Frozen Yogurt, which features whole-flavored soft serve. All options are available in either a cup or a cone. - Chocolate Burst -- vanilla frozen yogurt swirled with chocolate syrup along the edges, creating a classic striped effect; portion size was generous (easily double the size of the cup), ideal for those who enjoy a vanilla-forward base with just a hint of extra flavor On a later Friday evening, the shop was still buzzing with customers. The line moved quickly, with just a few groups ahead of us. Pricing falls in line with standard Bay Area dessert spots: $7 for a small, $8 for a medium, and $9.50 for a large as of 2025. Service was fast and friendly. While there's no indoor seating, there's a spacious patio area with plenty of tables and chairs outside. I'll definitely be coming back soon to try more of their flavors -- the Chunky Fudge Brownie and Caramel Fudge Vanilla both caught my eye.

Ranzan Redwood City is one of the best omakase experiences I've had in a while. I went with the…read moreHana Kaiseki set ($98) and it felt very worth it for the quality and variety. The pacing was just right, nothing felt rushed, and each course was thoughtfully decorated! I enjoyed every moment during the experience. We started with warm house sake to warm up, and luckily it paired really nicely with the meal and made everything feel extra cozy. Then for the courses, I had: - Starter: Kumiage Yuba with light house sauce and wasabi, I'm so impressed!!! At first I thought I was eating some fish liver because the texture was similar, but turn out it's tofu and they makes it excellent! A very nice starter - Appetizer: Squid tempura, pickled radish, mushroom & veggies, and tamago. I really like the tempura, crispy but not greasy, nice mix of textures - Sashimi plate: 3 pieces of bluefin tuna otoro, very fresh and buttery, just melts in my mouth! Love it - Oden bowl: I'm so in love with the broth, sweet, umami and comforting. It had braised pork belly, radish and konjac jelly, and all taste amazing, could not find any words to complain - Grilled fish: a very simple dish with not much seasoning. Fish was paired with some salty pickled plum and sweet potato. - Steamed tofu with abalone: I really like abalone texture, they made it very tender and easy to chew. Also not much seasoning so that you can feel the natural taste of the seafood, love that! - Hotate scallop with persimmon sauce: I don't like persimmon that much, but the scallops taste fresh and sweet - Rice bowl with pickles and miso soup: this is the 2nd final course, they have 2 options to upgrade from the white rice, uni ikura (+$16) & A5 wagyu (+$26) - we have 2 people so we order both to try a little bit of everything. Both worth the upgrade, but I prefer a5 wagyu - Matcha yokan with red beans and hot tea: the dessert was a bit too sweet for me, even though they served with hot tea to balance. But still, a great dish! Overall, really solid omakase spot on the Peninsula. I'd definitely come back if I had the chance!

Came here for a Mother's Day lunch with my family. It was very quiet, which my parents appreciated,…read moreand the overall atmosphere was minimalist, grounded, peaceful, and distinctly Japanese. The decor felt understated and calming, and both the host and server were very kind and welcoming. Service was definitely on the slower side -- we started the first course around 1pm and dessert wasn't served until about 2:40pm -- but I suppose that's part of the intentional, course-by-course dining experience. We ordered one of the lunch set menus. A few thoughts on the dishes: * House made tofu - Delicious. Light, delicate, and creamy, topped with wasabi and soy sauce. 9/10 * Appetizer assortment - A box with four small dishes (Nanohana steeped in dashi, simmered daikon radish, Tai marinated in vinaigrette, tamago). The tamago was less sweet than what you'd usually get at sushi restaurants (just okay for me, 6/10). The daikon was tasty (7.5/10), the fish had good flavor but a firmer texture than I prefer (7/10), and the vegetables were well-prepared (7.5/10). Everything was served room temperature. Overall, the flavors and sauces were very mild and subtle, in line with more traditional Japanese cooking. * The sashimi dish was fresh and delicious. 9/10 * Pork belly with vegetables - The pork belly was extremely tender and flavorful, and the vegetables were cooked nicely. The sauce was delicious. I almost wished it came with rice, but it was lightly seasoned and balanced as-is. 8/10 * Gindara marinated in miso - Lovely buttery, flaky texture. I've had similar miso black cod dishes elsewhere that were a bit more flavorful, but still very enjoyable. 8/10 * Chawanmushi - Very smooth, custardy texture with hints of citrus/yuzu, crab, and shiso. The crab texture was nice, though I didn't get a ton of crab flavor. * Octopus - A bit too chewy for my taste, though it paired nicely with the sweetness of the plum. I especially liked the nagaimo (yam) for both flavor and texture. 7.5/10 * Rice with kelp, wasabi cucumber, and simmered baby sardines - The kelp had a great texture and slightly tangy flavor. The wasabi cucumber was a bit too salty for me, even with the rice, but the baby sardines were delicious with just a hint of salt. 8/10 * Miso soup - Nice and light. 8/10 * Dessert (matcha yo-kan) - Green tea jelly with raspberries. Nice texture, though I personally prefer more pudding-like desserts. Not overly sweet, but I'm generally not a fan of beans in desserts. 7.5/10 One especially thoughtful touch: they served dessert to my mom on a special plate with additional Japanese candies and little origami pieces made by the staff. It felt very warm and personal. Overall, a good experience. They also offer à la carte options in addition to the set menus. The space feels intimate and would probably be best for smaller groups or quieter meals.
