    H1 Popcorn Chicken Curry Rice
    Lauren K.

    If you're ever in the mood for a quick and delicious meal then I recommend this place! They have several bento options with katsu pork to chicken, popcorn chicken and even popcorn chicken curry! Super flavorful and super quick to order/eat. I ordered the garlic popcorn chicken plus the popcorn chicken curry bento set. First of all, I ordered and within 5 minutes it was ready. Super fast and fresh! This was so delicious, chicken was well prepared, flavorful, and the curry had a nice kick to it. However, the garlic popcorn chicken wasn't as garlic forward as I expected since I saw so many garlic chunks. Next time I'd come back for the curry bento set or the full bento sets for lunch. Def worth the money! Food: 4/5! Can be a bit more garlic fwd but other than that it was great! Service: 5/5 super friendly staff, quick to order via online or kiosk. Interior/Ambiance: 4/5 not too big but has 6 tables for party of 4! there's a self serve sauce bar and water Parking: 3/5 honestly so tight but I found parking pretty easily at 6 pm on a Friday

    Delicious dinner for 2! Even had leftovers. | #R4 Popcorn Chicken Bento
    Andrea A.

    I've been coming here for years, and it's still my favorite spot for popcorn chicken! Parking in the front can be limited, but there are usually plenty of spaces in the lot behind the building. It's a very casual eatery where you order at a kiosk for takeout or scan the QR code at your table for dine-in, and they'll bring the food out to you. Service is minimal, but they're pretty efficient. Every time I've been, there are always people dining in, and it gets especially busy around lunch. On my most recent visit at 12:30 PM on a Friday, the tables filled up quickly. My meal came out in about 15 minutes, which wasn't bad considering how many people were waiting. The bentos are huge! I can easily split one with someone and still be full. My go-to is the popcorn chicken bento, and it never disappoints. The chicken is crispy with a satisfying crunch while staying juicy inside. I also like that it comes with two side dishes that frequently change, so each visit feels a little different. They're usually vegetables, egg, or another rotating side. Most recently, I got a side of sweet and sour pork. The rice is topped with savory minced pork that adds flavor, and it comes with a boiled egg as well. The chicken pairs well with Thai sweet chili sauce, but don't skip the super hot mushroom sauce. It's not actually that spicy, but it adds the perfect kick. I keep forgetting to buy a jar to take home. I was stuffed, and it looked like I had barely made a dent in my bento. If you're in the area, this spot is an absolute must-try. It's consistently delicious, and one I always come back to!

    Popcorn chicken bento & rose earl grey milk tea
    Irene L.

    I stopped by around noon for a quick lunch and managed to grab a table before the lunchtime rush hit. I ordered the popcorn chicken bento box along with a rose Earl Grey milk tea. The milk tea was overwhelmingly sweet, it's almost like drinking sugar water so I couldn't finish it and ended up throwing it away. The popcorn chicken itself was decent, but the sides lacked flavor. The portion of rice was quite generous, so I had leftovers. Overall, the portion size was good for the price, but it's not something I'd order again.

    I forever love getting their bentos. I like how the sides always change and there's always a different side to try each time I get it. The portions for the sides are always filled to the brim. This was my first time getting the eel bento from here so I was a little disappointed on how there's only two pieces of eel for $19.68.

    This place's food reminds me of the Taiwanese bento boxes I grew up eating! Cannot recommend O2 Valley enough - delicious food, huge portions, and a variety of options. I visited on a Saturday afternoon, and it was quite busy. After 1pm, however, the crowd started to clear. The interior is minimally decorated, and there's a fair amount of seating. The bento boxes were the star of the show! I can't get over how much food was in a single bento box - one bento could easily last you two meals. The popcorn chicken was fried to perfection and covered in fragrant spices. The accompanying sides were also delicious! I really enjoyed the grilled chicken. It honestly seemed more fried than grilled, but it was tasty nonetheless. The grilled chicken portion was somehow even bigger than that of the popcorn chicken. There were two huge pieces of grilled chicken, all covered in a sweet and tangy marinade. The golden kimchi paired well with the bentos and cut through the richness of the meat. I've heard great things about the drinks here as well but didn't get a chance to try. Just another reason to visit again! If you're looking for comfort Taiwanese food, O2 Valley is the perfect place for you!

    Grilled Chicken Cutlet Bento (so yummy!)
    April Y.

    Wait. What?! I haven't reviewed this place yet? This is super common go-to for us. The portions are generous and we love the rotation of sides that come with the bentos. You never know what it is that day and it's like a game for us to see what we get. Our favorite is the tomato egg side but I am never disappointed by any of them. Our hands down favorite is the grilled chicken cutlet bento. I suppose grilled is a little misleading, it has a light crisp to it and it's marinated in some sort of tangy slightly spicy sauce. Sometimes I get an extra side of grilled chicken so baby bear can get extra protein. It's never too much; leftovers the next day go into waffles in the morning for a fusion-y brunch :) If we are feeling extra hungry, we'll add a garlic popcorn chicken side too. Dining in is also an easy casual option. You order directly through the QR code at the table and the food comes out pretty quickly. Toppings, utensils, water are on the side that you help yourself too. If you're good with that service model, it's fast and easy too.

    Chicken Cutlet Bento
    Felicia C.

    O2 is probably my favorite Taiwanese fried chicken cutlet that I have ever had, maybe O2 even beats Taiwan! I always get the Chicken Cutlet here and really recommend getting the À la carte version since they give SO much chicken!!! Chicken Cutlet - The chicken is always so crispy and flavorful here. The white pepper flavor with salt is an iconic Taiwanese fried chicken taste, and O2 does it so well. The bento is pretty good too and huge! It comes with vegetables, rice with minced pork, and some noodles. You WILL have leftovers! I definitely recommend coming to O2 if you are visiting the Bay Area, the chicken cutlet is a must!

    Thanh T.

    Ordered through qr code and everything came out super fast! All the fried foods were done perfectly. Extra crispy on the outside but still moist on the inside. They have a good variety of bento boxes/ combos and a la carte. Price was pretty good for the portions! We dined in and luckily snagged the last table but take out would be a great option too!

    I wish I had tried this place sooner! This is some very legit and addictive Taiwanese comfort food. We tried a variety of dishes and they were all great. There's also a very generous amount of food, I would say that each bento can be 2 meals or for one very hungry person. In addition to the main meats, each bento comes with a lot of rice, sides, and veggies. All the fried foods were fried to perfection. Quick and easy online ordering system for takeout or delivery. Would definitely recommend this spot to anyone craving Taiwanese snack food classics.

    Favorite Taiwanese bento box! Amazing fried chicken here. Small restaurant in tight plaza with parking all around. They have tea here as well but stuck to my usually spicy grilled chicken bento box. The spicy grilled chicken bento has a small kick to it with sauce marinated around it. It has a light crispy batter around it so not sure why it's called grilled. Comes with rice, boiled egg, and 2 sides. Have had different sides on different days. Popcorn chicken with garlic was great and has loads of garlic. Plenty of fresh garlic to make your mouth smell right after. Nice staff. Order takes about 10-15 minutes and perfect for to go. Quick and easy lunch with huge portion.

    Fried sticky rice balls
    Mimi L.

    It is probably one of the best Taiwanese bento places in the south bay. Even their milk tea products were well made and of high quality. Dropped by recently to have early dinner. The food was scrumptious. Pork belly was soft and well cooked, fried pork with curry was crispy and freshly prepared, vegetable side dishes were quite appetizing. Everything was done right and on point. Milk tea was yummy and not overpoweringly sweet. Staff were cheerful, helpful and polite. We enjoyed our time there and will return to try other dishes.

    Popcorn chicken with Basil
    Yushi N.

    When I bit into my first O2 Valley popcorn chicken, I was amazed by how juicy the meat was given how crispy the exterior was. The chicken katsu in the bento was equally succulent. Paired with garlicky broccoli, braised egg, and a generous portion of rice, the food was amazing given the price point. One bento could likely feed two people - that's called a great deal. The interior of the store had relaxing plant motifs, including a mossy panel on the wall. Why the store is called O2 Valley is not clear to me but the refreshing, nature-y aesthetic was very relaxing to dine in. Most importantly, the service was super nice :') Idk the cashier just genuinely wanted to help, offering to show pictures of the food, bringing extra bowls to the table, etc. He seemed like a good boy pat pat.

    Minced pork bento
    Linda M.

    I've lived nearby for a long time and never stopped in. They're located in a small plaza with not too much parking. I typically just walk to this plaza. It's a pretty cozy shop. There's a good amount of seating inside. You seat yourself and order by QR code. Water, utensils, and condiments are also self serve. I'm sure you could probably order at the counter as well but I've never done it. We got a minced pork bento and a stir fry basil chicken bento. The chicken bento was pretty spicy, I liked it. The chicken was cooked very nicely and you get two sides and an egg as well as rice with minced pork. The minced pork bento comes rice, egg, and two sides. The staff brought our food to our tables for us. They come in convenient bento boxes and you can ask for lids and bags at the front should you need them. The portions are pretty generous. I ate maybe a third of mine. My partner finished his bento. Depends on your appetite. This is a great place when you just want some comfort food at a no frills mom and pop shop. They're not a big chain and are locally owned!

I thought there was too much sauce and it was a bit more sour/tangy compared to the one on the Benedict. The soufflé does take very long, they said it would be about 30 mins but I think it took longer than that. Overall, food is good but I would recommend coming here if you have a lot of time and no arrangements.

If you want your food to come out faster I would ordering the skillet items or the pasta and Benedict as I saw those come out a lot faster. The table next to us ordered the skillet and pasta and got their food maybe about 5-10 mins after ordering.

The menu is massive--something like eight or nine pages--and having to scroll through all of that on a tiny iPhone screen was absolutely ridiculous.

We ordered a lot of different dishes, and everything was really nice. Nothing was bad, but nothing really blew me away either. I'd probably rate the food around a solid 4 stars. Some were amazing and some had critiques. The service was fine, but the staff felt pretty serious and not especially warm. No one acknowledged that it was my birthday, which isn't necessarily a requirement, but it added to the overall feeling that the experience was a little impersonal. My kids were also excited about the traditional sit-down tables, but we were seated at a regular table instead while we walked past many open traditional tables at our 5:45pm reservation. A bit disappointing from the start. They're also very strict about the 90-minute dining limit. With such a huge menu and so many options to look through and order, on a iPhone screen, felt a little rushed. In the end, the food itself was solid, but the QR-code-only menu was such an aggravating experience that it genuinely knocks the overall rating down for me.

Dinner is prix fixe only -- $93 as of August 2026. We mentioned that we had plans afterward and just wanted a lighter dinner and some wine, and they were incredibly gracious about letting us split one prix fixe. Honestly, the portions still felt very generous, and we ended up spending about the same amount on wine anyway. The wine list is small but really thoughtfully curated, and they also allow you to bring your own bottle for a corkage fee. The standout for me was the Hokkaido scallop with crab and caramelized carrot. Genuinely one of the best dishes I've had in a long time. A couple of dishes were liberal with the finishing salt, but the flavors, seasoning, creativity, and technique were top tier. Everything is cooked to order by the chef, and it showed -- every course came out beautifully prepared and cooked to perfection. The whole place feels like a passion project. The chef has spent decades in the industry, including time in Shanghai and Hawaii, and it feels like he and his wife basically said, "This is what we do, this is the food we love -- let's make a place for it." And I love that. There are some rough edges that come with making the space work for them, but the things that actually matter -- food, service, organization, and cleanliness -- were excellent. Even the single restroom was very clean and well kept. It's a small, intimate space, so I definitely recommend making a reservation. That said, they seemed genuinely accommodating to everyone who came through and clearly care about making people feel welcome. More than anything, the restaurant just felt happy. Everyone around us was having a great time, people were ordering liberally from the wine list, and by the time we left around 7, it felt like a room full of people who understood exactly what this place is about. GOGA isn't trying to win you over with a bunch of empty promises and trendy decor. It's about really good food, wine, and hospitality from people who clearly care about what they're doing. I'd love to see the space evolve over time, but never at the expense of the food or the wonderfully unique experience they've created. We'll absolutely be back -- brunch is next.

    This small restaurant is located on Big Basin Way hidden off the street and has been there for…read morealmost 4 years (it's 2026 now.) You can say it's a hidden Gem. Rent must be up there as it's not a bargain restaurant but the quality is very good. Let's start with pricing, $95 plus tax and a 3% charge for credit cards, with wine you're going to be at $125 pp. Dinner is a Prix Fixe thing and they don't have alternate choices on every entree. They had crab covered scallop for the appetizer and my wife is allergic shellfish so the chef made a wonderful rare Ahi Tuna appetizer with a miso flare, but this was a special request. The interior isn't anything special and we went when the air conditioning wasn't working very well so it was hot and humid in the restaurant. There was only one server that night and the main chef, but only four tables were being served. Wondering how it would be when they have 8-10 tables going at the same time. Here's how the food rates: Ahi Tuna Appetizer: A Crab covered Scallops: A+ This was a standout dish Fish Taco: C+ nothing special here but fried fish in a tortilla Wagyu Flank Steak: B Nice Flavor, but not a premium cut Tiramisu w/rasberries: B+ I know this would be difficult given the rent in downtown Saratoga, but a prix fixe at $75 would be more appropriate for this level of food. I am looking forward to trying their weekend brunch as that venue allows you to choose from a brunch and lunch menu.
