My favorite sauce is the garlic butter and I love their Manila Clams and Snow Crab here. Everything tastes fresh and the clams are huge! I wasn't a huge fan of the calamari since I prefer tiny fried squid pieces instead of the large cuts, but the outer batter was crispy. If you're in the mood for Cajun, this spot is definitely a great place to hit up. The service is always great too.

Bag came out pretty fast! Shrimp wasn't overcooked except for the few all the way on the bottom. Corn was sweet, potatoes standard, wish the sausage was more. The house sauce was good! We enjoyed our meal. Also ordered garlic noodles and fries but those didn't come till the end of our meal. I wished we had it to eat it with our seafood which was a bummer. Service was pleasant. Staff was generally around if you need anything. This building use to be the old Black Angus years ago so it is pretty roomy! Will be back next time I'm craving some seafood boil! Recommend :)

I liked the self serve topping selection. Some options like octopus were dinner only, but they were so good. Very comfortable and nice place to fill up your stomach. One con I could say is the meat selection is not as wide compared to bbq spots since you can't really have marinated meat for shabu shabu. Overall it's very good. I liked it.

I've been to Shabuya (Milpitas) multiple times now. The food (great quality and comes out FAST) and…read moreservers are very good. My problem occurred today. There is a front of the house "manager". I don't know her name because unlike the servers, she doesn't wear a name tag. Perhaps that is on purpose...and should change. I will just say she's an older woman who wears glasses. When one of the children in our party went up to measure their height, it was clear that they were below the line. Nobody had an issue besides this "manager". She demanded that she double check, using a menu to carefully measure. If Shabuya needs to check height so badly, maybe we can go elsewhere. There are other places to eat. She is incredibly rude and said WE were the problem. Wow! Again, she wasn't wearing a name tag, so I cannot even name her. Just that she's incredibly off-putting and will cost Shabuya customers.

Black Bear Diner is a classic American diner chain known for generous portions, hearty comfort…read morefood, and a rustic, lodge-inspired atmosphere. We walked into the Milpitas location, which follows that familiar formula with bear-themed décor, spacious booths, and a relaxed setting that works well for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The interior feels warm and inviting, with wooden accents and a cozy energy that makes it the kind of place where you can settle in for a filling meal without feeling rushed. The booths are comfortable and the layout is spacious, accommodating both small groups and larger families with ease. The menu is extensive, covering everything from pancakes, waffles, omelets, and chicken fried steak to burgers, sandwiches, pot roast, and slow-roasted meats. Breakfast is the biggest draw, with large platters that easily satisfy a big appetite, and we found the portions more than generous enough to leave us full. The chicken and waffles offered a solid balance of crispy chicken and fluffy waffles, while the country-style entrées were satisfying and well prepared. The food is not particularly innovative, but it is consistently satisfying and delivers exactly what you would expect from a traditional diner, with each dish feeling familiar and comforting without trying to be anything more. One of the biggest strengths of Black Bear Diner is the value. Portions are generous enough that many meals can be shared or provide leftovers, making the prices feel reasonable given the amount of food you receive. We noticed that even the smaller portions were substantial, and the quality of the ingredients held up well against the quantity. Service is typically friendly and attentive, with coffee refills coming regularly and meals arriving at a steady pace. The staff handled the busy weekend morning flow with efficiency, keeping the dining room moving without making us feel rushed. During weekend mornings, the restaurant can get busy, but the team manages the volume well, and the turnover is fast enough that the wait does not feel excessive. Black Bear Diner is a dependable choice when you are craving classic American comfort food. It is not a destination for unique or elevated dining, but that has never been the goal. Instead, it delivers hearty portions, reliable service, and a comfortable atmosphere that makes it an easy option for a satisfying breakfast or casual family meal. The combination of value, consistency, and a welcoming setting makes it a practical stop for a meal that feels both familiar and filling.

I never visited…read moreMil's Diner in Milpitas in the past 16-17 years since working and living in the area, but I knew that I would eventually check them out someday. Good choice. No lines and no crowds on a rainy day morning with plenty of available parking spots in the huge lot. Nothing attractive on the outside in this old popular plaza. The place turned out great with the old fashioned retro red color style interior and the experience was wonderful. Good vibes and positive feelings when walking into it. My lady server provided excellent service and the Hispanic male worker was quick and efficient. Place is clean and menu had good variety of selections. Breakfast is served all day while lunch items start at 11am. My breakfast was very fulfilling and total was $25.30 with everything included. I paid in cash and tipped them $5. Loved my sweet lady server. There was another older woman at the cash register. She's a local as well. I really enjoyed the stop. I had the Fajitas Omelette breakfast and the steak meats in it were very generous. Delicious breakfast exactly as I had expected. My onions green peppers potatoes were perfect with a side of salsa. Sourdough toast was delicious with the garlic butter taste. I really came for my favorite hot chocolate with whipped cream in the morning. I do miss big American breakfasts, especially in these old fashioned and traditional retro spots. Love it. Why didn't I visit this place much earlier? Because they're always busy or full inside and the plaza parking is usually congested with heavy traffic here. Overall, I love the vibes and the service. It's one of those places where you can just have normal casual conversations with the staffs working inside if you are open to it. Beautiful diner. Yes, I will be revisiting in the future. If you love huge food portions, there's great value here. One plate can easily be shared between two people. Nice.

If you read my reviews here on Yelp, you know I either post for either a really good review or a…read morereally bad review. Unfortunately we are here for the latter. We moved to Milpitas about a year ago and my son started going to Mil's and is a current 'Regular'. They have good food. So after a while, my husband and I started going there and we too started going there pretty regularly for breakfast, at least once or twice a week. All in all, between the family we drop a few hundred a week. And we do tip well. Most of the wait staff knows us. Today, my husband had to stop on his way home to use the restroom. He doesn't look homeless or unkempt in anyway. When he asked, they told him he couldn't unless he's a 'paying customer'. This was to a newer employee he hadnt seen before. He proceeded to explain that we eat here regularly and she still said no. He asked to speak to the manager, who does know him. He too said no. I find it ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS that for a supposed family atmosphere restaurant, they couldn't extend a small courtesy. What exactly was it going to take away from them? As mentioned, we drop a good chunk of change there, and they didnt want to help out a patron that frequents the restaurant? Well, have no fear, we will NEVER darken your doorstep EVER again.

Had a great experience at Gao's BBQ & Crab in Milpitas! We tried their $88 Seafood & BBQ Feast, and…read moreit was more than enough food for 2-3 people. The seafood boil came loaded with shrimp (I swapped the crawfish option), lobster tail, corn, potatoes, and sausage. Everything was flavorful and cooked well. The BBQ skewers were a highlight--especially the Wagyu beef and Xinjiang lamb skewers, which were juicy and packed with smoky flavor. I also loved that the combo included a main dish, drinks, and golden fried buns for dessert, making it an excellent value for the price. Beyond the food, the atmosphere was lively and fun with live entertainment, great music, and plenty of menu options ranging from Chinese BBQ and seafood to noodles and desserts. It's a perfect spot for a family dinner, date night, or gathering with friends. Definitely a place I'll be coming back to when I'm craving seafood and BBQ in the Bay Area!

Service = okay. Compared to other similar restaurants, they're slower. I think we were there for at least 1.5 hours, mostly just waiting for the food to come out slowly. It's definitely the type of place to come and hang out with friends. Just be warned, the wait time to get seated may be long because of this (everyone chilling at the table/slow turnover). We waited 30 min on a Thursday at 9pm They gave all the tables complementary sunflower seeds at 10pm.

I only took a few bites of claw shacks offering before I was like hell no, don't eat this shit. Literally tasted like crap. Garlic noodles aren not fresh, noodles were old...hard even after sautéed no flavor of garlic detected even though you can see a it. Old ass ingredients and seafood with bad service.
