    In a well decorated restaurant where a meal is close to $40 and 20% service charge is mandatory, I had better expectations. First the food. We ordered the beef mango and the duck garlic noodles. The beef mango doesnt come with rice so we had to pay extra for a small bowl. Taste was good but not fantastic. Duck was fine as well, however the noodles' texture was like an overcooked instant noodle that had dried up. We couldn't finish the noodles. We also tasted a few other things ordered by the group and none of us thought it was gorgeous but merely average and not worth the extra price. Second, the service. Our group ordered the papaya salad but it came entirely different from what their official picture portrayed. Ingredients were different, and the waitress explained it doesnt come with shrimps any longer. Fine, however we were not expecting the raw cabbage on the side, and some couldn't eat raw cabbage. We asked to have the cabbage steamed or changed to another type of vegetable. Be reminded we had never touched it when we made the request. What we received was a snoobish conversation about how that was originally served in Thailand and there is no way they would steam the cabbage for us. One of the waitress just turned her shoulder and took the dish away with a straight face. Even they offered to remove that from our bill after a lot of fuss with 3 different people, the vibe was ruined. What happened to customer service etiquette anymore?! 2 stars was for the server which tried to help us talk to the owner/ manager, otherwise it would have been 1.

    Came here on the weekend with a group of 11 people. We just want to have a good gathering and eat some Thai food, but their unacceptable service totally screw up the vibe! We order the green papaya salad. You can look at the attached photo this is the photo from their official website where it clearly come with shrimp and lettuce. However, yesterday they tell us they no longer serve with shrimp and replace the lettuce with a big uncut raw cabbage! That is totally unacceptable! It look exactly like a big cutting board on the plate for serving. We very friendly ask the waiter why it look so different from the official picture, and if they can maybe cook the cabbage just a little bit to soften it because we are uncomfortable to eat raw cabbage. Then the restaurant manager come over. So mean! The manager just tell us, "All Thai eating like this!" and run away with a black face! Hello? Customer order food based on your menu photo, we don't dig in to the cuisine history before we come eat! This very unfriendly response from the manager totally ruin our whole party mood. To be honest, the food in general is just acceptable. But do NOT order the Duck garlic noodle. The noodle was way too soft. Even though food is average, I will definitely put this place on my black list. We don't want to risk the vibe and pay 20% tip just to get black face and bad attitude. By the way, the restaurant had lots of empty table, and I see they get so many 1-star review in the last 6 months. Now I know the reason. Anyway, black list!

    Came here for dinner and ordered a feast! The seafood dishes here are absolutely incredible and beautiful for photos. The grilled giant prawns were spectacular-perfectly cooked, smoky, and paired amazingly with the green dipping sauce. The Pad Thai was also a solid highlight, packed with a generous portion of plump, fresh shrimp and great traditional flavors. However, a couple of the rice and meat dishes fell a bit short. The beef curry sauce had a nice flavor, but the beef texture was unfortunately overcooked and quite tough to chew. We also tried the pineapple fried rice, which looked great but tasted a bit too dry and lacked the fluffiness we were hoping for.

    Pad Thai

    This is one of my favorite Thai restaurants in the Bay Area! This was probably my 5th time coming here and I think a review is long overdue! First off, my go to orders are: - Pad Thai (spicy/ medium spice) - Nam Jim Jaew w/ Pork - Papaya salad - Sweet Mango rice - Thai Tea Food here tastes so fresh and flavorful! I'm not typically a salad person but i will eat a salad here! lol I think it has to do with the spices and sauce infused with the salad + it's proteins! When you eat here expect to pay a certain amount- food is pricey but it's worth it for the freshness and service! On a nice day, I recommend eating outside- it's such a vibe and they have lots of shade for those hot summery days. They had the FIFA game playing on their screen outdoors! Pineapple Thai, is something you gotta try!

    Pad Thai & Thai Tea

    Came here for a team lunch and was seated right away. We had a group of 11, and instead of doing family-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.

    The food is very good. My husband had the mango beef and I had the green chicken curry. It was so good!!!! we also really enjoyed the drinks. We had a sunrise on Saturn, Circus elephant, and a raindrops in Bangkok. I do recommend this place super cool vibe, nice servers, and it has an outdoor seating area.

    Randomly picked this restaurant for a Mother's Day lunch. Since we did not have a reservation, we were assigned seats by the bar. We ordered two dishes from the Mother's Day special menu -- the Green Curry Short Rib and the Surf & Turf Pad Thai -- as well as the Pixel Wings from the regular menu. I have to say, the Green Curry Short Rib was so, so, so good. The short rib was incredibly tender and had a rich coconut milk aroma. It was the best short rib I have ever had. The chicken wings were also delicious -- crispy on the outside while juicy and tender on the inside. Compared to the other two dishes, the Pad Thai was pretty average. Overall, I will definitely come back. I really hope they add the Green Curry Short Rib to the regular menu.

    Mango Sticky Rice

    The food is so good! This is probably the best Thai food in the bay with the best staff. Special shoutout to Tom who is indeed the best manager and server we could ever ask for. His sense of humor makes him stand out and very entertaining. We come here often because of him! He would always greet us with a smile and do his best to get our food as soon as possible. Lastly, this restaurant has the best pad see ew and mango sticky rice. Try it!

    Loved everything about it - location, outdoor seating, service and food :) Its located right next to LazyDog (which is also great for American cuisine) and koi palace. there is a parking garage (free!) nearby 2 mins walk away and lots of street parking as well. The outdoor seating is inviting on a sunny afternoon and service was friendly. In $120 (after tip) we got: - papaya salad - 5/5 - loved the tangy spicy nutty salad and it lives up to the hype. Soooo good :) - chicken Penang curry - 5/5 - comes with portion of steamed white rice and was flavorful, not watery and lots of chicken :) - green curry tofu - 5/5 - creamy and loaded with veggies and comes with rice - pad thai chicken - 4/5 - i wish it was a little less sweet - rockfish - 5/5 - amazing texture, spicy and delicious. It also comes with a side of rice. This is owned by the same person who owns "must be thai" and i love that too. This is a more fancy place to sit and eat which is great :) Definitely coming back for thai iced tea and desserts!!

    Standard Thai food for the most part. A little pricey but it's in main street Cupertino so the vibes are nice. Pad see ew 4/5 - good and standard for this dish. Pork jowl 4/5 - I'm not a huge pork jowl eater but this dish was still tasty. The pork jowl was pretty tender

    Vegetable pastry appetizers
    Tina A.

    Pineapple Thai is in a great location & I'm sure it draws a large crowd on weekdays from Apple park. However our last visit left us quite disappointed with our meal. The vegetable pastries were hot on the outside, but some of the stuffing was still cold. Despite this issue, the pastry itself was flaky and tasty. What truly shocked us was the portion sizes of the other dishes. The green curry was mostly broth, with barely any chicken. The sticky rice came in a beautiful container, but it was the smallest portion of rice we have ever been served at a restaurant. The Pad Thai was equally disappointing. The flavor was okay, but there was nothing substantial on the plate. In these challenging times, restaurants are trying to cut costs, but when customers feel they're not getting their money's worth, they won't return.

    I liked the food, it tastes very good. I also like the decoration, the table lamp. It didn't take very long for us to get the food we ordered. The price was also fair. We enjoyed this meal until we got back home and started having diarrhea. Not sure if it's food hygiene issue, or it's just our stomach did not like the spices ( I like Thai food in general though).

I wanted to share a concern about a recent visit to The Cedar Room. During my time there, I observed a male manager or supervisor interacting with staff in a way that came across as rude, disrespectful, and belittling. Witnessing an employee being spoken to that way in front of guests created an uncomfortable atmosphere and reflected poorly on the overall experience. What made the situation even more disappointing was that after speaking to staff in this manner, the manager spent what appeared to be an extended period of time outside the front of the restaurant talking on his cellphone instead of being present on the floor. I believe employees deserve to be treated with respect, especially in front of guests. I hope this feedback is taken seriously, as leadership sets the tone for both the workplace and the guest experience.

Within easy walking distance of plenty of parking and a parking garage if you don't find anything on the street nearby . Reservations were easy to make and they had a cute light up Happy Birthday sign waiting on the table! The ambiance was dark but had great ambient lighting . I loved the green velvet booths and decor , which evoked old Hollywood glamour ! Tables were set up in way that you didn't have to maneuver around them to get to the bathroom which was roomy and clean! There was a bat and lounge area to one side and seated dining on the other , Our server Camille was amazing ! So attentive and her timing got delivering each Sri name course was on point . Birthday girl asked for suggestions a fruity house cocktail. Instead of just rattling off the fruity drinks, she asked questions to personalize a suggestion and described each drink! The food was fresh and presented nicely. One of my friends and I decided to each order the poke tacos . I loved them! Even though it was probably an appetizer is the right amount for a light meal. My friends ordered the Korean spice chicken and pan seared salmon and they both complimented their meal. I can't remember the all the names-of the drinks except for the Miami Vice the birthday girl ordered . We also got her one that was served lit on fire ! I w myself was happy that they served Ballast Point Sculpin on draft! The lava cake was served with strawberries and delicious! The birthday girl even got a bowl of ice cream, a candle and huge sparkler to hold while we sang happy birthday . I debated rating on my 4 stars for the noise level , but honestly , I can't fault the restaurant for parties having fun . It's a testament to venue excellence! One table though seamed to communicate in hysterical screams every time they had a new drink served. Great place for groups, drinks and easy reservations! My friend used OpenTable) . Will definitely return.

    This is a review for their weekday Bar & Lounge Happy Hour (Tue - Thu 5pm - 10pm... yes, you read…read morethat right... all night Happy Hour). After our first visit last night, I think it's safe to say it is probably the best Happy Hour offering in the SF South Bay. Good quality, good value, great service and nice club/lounge ambiance. Here's what we shared food-wise... * HH Garlic Noodles -- This didn't quite meet my expectation. Described as a "perfectly cooked pasta tossed in rich garlic butter", what we got was more like a soft udon type noodle with a rather starchy garlic sauce. The taste was definitely very garlicky, but the dish could have been much better with an al dente pasta tossed in an actual garlic butter or olive oil. * HH Wagyu Smash Burger -- This was yum! Great flavor, nicely grilled served on a toasted soft brioche bun. ($15 on HH versus $32 witha side of fries on the Dinner Menu :o) * HH Hamachi Crudo -- This was superb! Fresh generous slices of yellowtail topped with sliced lemon, jalapeno, tobiko and microgreens, perfectly matched with Ponzu sauce. ($12 on HH for 4 pieces versus $23 for 5 pieces on the Dinner menu) * HH Crab Cakes -- 2 medium sized blue crab cakes with diced mango and spicy aioli. Pretty decent for $14. * HH Crispy Brussels Sprouts -- Good standard fare. For drinks, we enjoyed... * HH Weather Pinot Noir -- Our server, Mikayla, said it was her favorite wine on the HH menu. It was very nice. * HH Mango Deck -- Reposado, Jalapeno syrup, lime and mango puree with a 151 rum flambee. Great drink if you like sweet, sour and spicy... and it comes with a show as the 151 rum is lit. Will definitely return. Would love to try the HH Grand Seafood Tower with oysters, yellowtail and salmon sashimi, shrimp and lobster ($65 on HH) which we saw another table order. Looks like a great place for a larger party celebration too.

We arrived for our 7 p.m. reservation for a party of seven and quickly discovered that parking was one of the biggest challenges of the evening. The lot was extremely busy, and finding a spot took some patience. Once inside, however, we were immediately impressed. The restaurant is absolutely stunning, with thoughtful design throughout and gorgeous floral installations. I also noticed that they sell fresh flowers, which adds a unique touch to the space. We were seated in an area right near the entrance, which admittedly wasn't the most desirable location in the restaurant. Thankfully, being in California, the occasional breeze from the front doors opening wasn't an issue. The bigger challenge was that two round tables had been pushed together to accommodate our group, leaving one person seated awkwardly at the junction between them. That said, the hospitality more than made up for the less-than-ideal seating arrangement. Partway through our meal, after most of the food had arrived, a staff member (who I believe may have been an owner) stopped by to ask if we were celebrating anything special. When she learned it was a birthday dinner, she generously gifted our table a bottle of grape soju and even served it for us. She also promised ice cream for the younger members of the group at the end of the meal. During our conversation, she apologized for the seating situation and explained that some parties had stayed longer than expected, preventing the larger booth area from being available for our reservation. Her warmth and genuine kindness turned what could have been a minor disappointment into a memorable part of the evening. As for the food, I had the opportunity to try quite a few dishes. My favorite was easily the kimchi fried rice, which came on a hot skillet topped with cheese corn and a fried egg. It was flavorful, comforting, and something I would absolutely order again. The bulgogi pasta was probably my least favorite dish of the night. I enjoyed the creamy texture and the bit of spice, but there was something about the overall flavor that didn't quite work for me. The seafood pasta was much more successful, offering plenty of spice and flavor, though I found it a little too oily. We also tried both the beet salad and mushroom salad. The beet salad was a bit underwhelming and could have used more flavor, while the mushroom salad was surprisingly enjoyable. The katsu was another standout, with a massive portion and a perfectly crispy coating. My only criticism was that the accompanying potato salad was a little too egg-forward for my taste. Overall, Giwa delivered exactly what we were hoping for in terms of atmosphere. The beautiful interior design, welcoming ambiance, and attentive staff created a memorable dining experience. While not every dish was a hit, the highlights were excellent, and the exceptional hospitality was what truly made the evening stand out.

We found that the best way to get drinks here is to go to the bar to order, and they can bring the drinks over (or you can wait for them, of course). For the price, I'd expect better service but you may need to go further than Sunnyvale. Overall I think Nokori is a decent bar lounge, and I love the niche is on Japanese whiskey.

    Want whisky? This is your spot! Whisky flights available with four different tiers ranging from $25…read moreto $225. Lots of whisky based drink options as well as several beers on draft and select wines. Lots of specialty drinks too to tickle your fancy as yours truly isn't a big whisky drinker. Give me vodka or gin please. Anyway, ambiance is cool with several lounge tables to communal tables and bar seating. Bar bites from chicken karaage to agadashi tofu to burger! Can also order from the full menu of Adrestia, official restaurant of hotel. Service is friendly and efficient. Prices for drinks range from $14-20- going rate nowadays. Cheers to 2026! Let's go and make it epic and elite, friends!

I wouldn't say anything was especially amazing, but it's a good option if you're a student or looking for a budget-friendly meal. The place was also pretty busy when we went, which says something! My favorite was the soy garlic chicken, it's the only thing I enjoy here. I personally didn't really enjoy the two soup dishes, especially the seafood soup (seafood tasted a bit fishy), but for the price, I couldn't ask for more. Overall, decent food for the price and a casual place to grab Korean food in Santa Clara, I would go back for the chicken.

    Stopped by Pocha K for a late-night dinner on a weekday. Service was quick, and my beer came with…read morean ice-cold glass, which I always appreciate. The food menu is fairly limited, so it's clear that this is more of a drinking spot than a destination for dinner. We ordered the boneless soy garlic chicken and pork bulgogi. Both tasted good at first, but the sauces became increasingly overpowering as we ate, and we ultimately did not finish either dish. The flavors could use a little more balance. Overall, I'd rate the food a 3/5. However, if you're mainly looking for a casual place to drink with friends and share a few snacks, the experience is closer to a 4/5.
