GIWA is one of those places where you wonder whether you're at brunch or inside a flower shop…read more Fortunately, it works. The restaurant leans hard into the floral theme with oversized arrangements, pastel decor, and even a flower market selling a mix of dried and silk flowers. It could feel gimmicky, but somehow it ends up being charming. The drinks are what initially caught my attention. Every table seemed to have something colorful and elaborate on it. More importantly, they weren't just pretty. The butterfly pea lemonade and strawberry matcha latte were genuinely delicious, not just Instagram bait masquerading as beverages. For food, the Chop Steak Skillet was the winner. Tender steak, vegetables, rice, and a sunny-side-up egg served sizzling hot. The pork cutlet was also excellent, crispy and satisfying with a rich sauce, cabbage salad, and potato salad on the side. Dessert is non-negotiable. Order the strawberry soufflé pancake. It arrives towering, fluffy, and impressively jiggly. The strawberry sauce adds just enough sweetness without overwhelming the pancake itself. Santa Clara has no shortage of brunch spots. GIWA stands out because it understands that dining should be fun. Good food, genuinely good drinks, and an atmosphere that doesn't take itself too seriously. I'll be back.

Came here for a team lunch and was seated right away. We had a group of 11, and instead of doing…read morefamily-style dining, everyone ordered their own entrée. Be sure to check out their lunch special, they're definitely worth considering! I ordered the Pad Thai since it's one of my favorite dishes and my go-to benchmark for judging a Thai restaurant. It did not disappoint. In fact, it's one of the better Pad Thais I've had in Cupertino. I also ordered a Thai tea, which was delicious. Knowing how sensitive I am to caffeine, I planned to take the rest to go, but later found out they don't offer to-go cups. Not wanting to waste it, I ended up finishing the drink before leaving. Overall, the food, service, and ambiance were all solid. I'd definitely come back to explore more of the menu and I wouldn't hesitate to order the Pad Thai again.

Came 2nd time in a month, primarily for its uniqueness. Hard to find eateries of such kind…read more Again, we ordered fried chicken, sashimi, risotto, and mushroom pizza. They were consistent as last time: excellent fried chicken, aromatic and creamy risotto, fresh tuna fish, and pizza crust on the soggy side, though delicious. This time, with two more eaters, we also order pasta. They were great. Mentaiko is salted fish poe very popular in Taiwan and I loved it. The Italian styled one they used looked more like a sausage, but scantly served as if they were caviar. I wish they had removed the casing (or the fish egg sack). That did not diminish the intense flavor. The Tonkatsu pasta was standard bolognese one topped with Japanese styled sliced Tonkatsu. Both were tasty, but the combination did not enhance each other. It is, therefore, not a harmonic "fusion." I like this Japanese-Italian fusion style. Will come again.

The seating area isn't that big so I would recommend to make a reservation or be prepared to wait. I came with a large party of 7 and we waited 1 hour to be seated for dinner on a Friday night. But the food was worth it! Uni pasta: Very creamy almost like mentaiko, with seared uni and ikura sprinkled throughout. Pasta was cooked well and the uni wasn't too fishy, I liked this dish a lot. Mentaiko cream spaghetti: Tried a few bites and this was also good, although less creamy than the uni pasta surprisingly. Mentaiko mayo mochi cheese pizza: Mentaiko sauce with mochi pieces, cheese, and sausages for toppings. The mochi bits were super interesting and I liked this dish second best after uni pasta. Japanese mushroom melody pizza: Just tasted like straight mushrooms and the dough was soggy on this one. Would not order again. Also ordered at the table: Salmon Shimeji spaghetti and Sukiyaki pasta

Definitely not a standout dish, but the rest of the meal was delectable. Sometimes, you don't need vegetables during dinner. Had to order the hamachi carpaccio, unagi meshi, and green tea creme brulee as per usual, but the Nikomi hamburg was a pleasant surprise! The flavor profile is deeply reminiscent of a HK pork chop baked rice if juicy pork meatballs were used. The service is always friendly here and our food came out quickly! My only minor gripe was the pacing as we had 3 dishes on our small square table at one point in the meal. I understand though, since they clearly had a busy night ahead as the restaurant filled up quickly after 7:30 PM. Ambience is kind of loud due to the chatter and closely spaced tables. They really try to maximize the seating here. Make sure you wear socks in case you end up being seated in the carpet area.

Today, to celebrate my aunt's 60th birthday, we came to a restaurant that they used to visit often…read more Since it's a Japanese restaurant, the hostess immediately led us to the tatami seating area. My aunt asked if we could sit at a regular table instead, and the hostess asked whether we had any medical reason. I felt offended at that moment, and I also believe it's inappropriate and potentially unlawful to ask that kind of question. On top of that, while we were still eating, they brought us the bill halfway through the meal. Even though we understand there is a 90-minute dining limit, the whole experience made us feel like they were trying to rush us out. This is definitely not a place we would come back to or recommend to friends.

The staff are constantly moving around delivering food and making dishes, they were so busy that we weren't able to catch anyone to ask about wait times for the first ~10 minutes. They offer a lot of options on the menu, which is an iPad they leave at the table for you, and you order on your own. The menu is easy to look through, and you can easily add more items whenever you want without needing to flag down an employee. They advertised special daily bentos at the waiting area, but they also have a wide variety of regular bentos and other menu items. The bentos were really delicious, and contained a lot of food, well worth the price. Will definitely come here again

Strange how they sell a variety of chili oils as it's a Japanese establishment. Food came out crazily fast. Plates and bowls for the raw items were cold. Perhaps prepared beforehand? SERVICE: only one lady was working the entire restaurant; went during peak hours and there were only 3 tables including us... then a person showed up at 12:51pm (they close at 1pm) and she let her in! You have to call her over...she doesn't just show up so I don't think this is called attentive? But very friendly and very sweet. Table, plates, cups, and utensils were moderately clean. AMBIENCE: old school Japanese decor with bamboo separations. Casual dining. Tough and rough hours to catch them since they're so short. Located in a small plaza with a private parking lot; did not have to wait for a spot. I'm excited to try their other items. Strange location. Strange hours. Strange wasabi.

Every time, the food has been flavorful and consistent, and you can tell there's real care behind it. The space is small and cozy, which makes it feel intimate and relaxed. Chef Brad clearly knows his craft, and the menu has a nice seasonal feel to it. Service is always warm and attentive without being overbearing, just genuinely kind hospitality.

That restaurant has closed and has reopened on Camden, Campbell, CA, where Dickey's BBQ use to be. From what the manager tells me, this is a big upgrade from the prior place, which was primarily a take out. There has been a lot of remodeling. Although the focus is take out, you can certainly enjoy a meal at the restaurant. It is primarily you order, pay, sit down and the food is brought to you. However, since not everything was operational, I was served by the manager. I had OUTSTANDING service and encouraged them to provide table service for people eating there. Now for the food: Rice, Beans, Plantains, Steak, Chicken, Vegetables and of course the Cheese Cake was fabulous. (I also took some food home to my wife). The kitchen area is right by the tables so you see the Executive Chef prepare the food. (I knew who he was from the picture outside by the door). He was very friendly and answered questions about how the food was prepared. He emphasized that the secret to great food is quality and fresh ingredients.
