We decided to order party trays for Mother's Day & birthday celebration. Mac salad, chicken katsu, mixed BBQ. We steamed our own rice. They were generous with their portions! Tasty too.

The portions are always good, the quality is always fresh. Im not sure if it was because i was hungry but it was more delicious than usual. I knew i could not go wrong with this selection of food. No matter which L&L location i go to, the consistency is top notch!

We each opted for a 2-combo plate and were happy with our choices. While everything was delicious, the star of the meal for us was the smoked fried milk fish (deboned and smoky). Service was welcoming and many of the clientele seem to be regulars given the personnel's interaction with them. Thanks Rose for the food that is lovingly prepared and the friendly staff who added to the ambiance.

Food is good when one is very hungry. We came before…read morelunchtime and yet they didn't have noodles ready. Tocino is good. Beef steak is good, the rice is ok. It's not the best. Like it's still kinda hard- like left over. It's not the newly cooked soft and fluffy kind. I almost choked. lol. But they do give you free soup with the meal! The halo halo is $10 dollars with only 1 scoop of ice cream and it's 1 size only. Pretty pricey. Since Kalesa is in Milpitas this would suffice. Kalesa sell their halo halo for $10 dollars but with 2 scoops of ice cream and it's a pretty big dish and shareable between 2-3 people if you eat it there. Btw, the servers here at Rene don't wear gloves or hair net if it mattered. Taste is a little different today. I told the lady server we were to eat in, but they'd put the food in the to-go container...uh ok. But gave the other family paper plates! We were in the area and don't frequent here much but it's decent toro-toro or like a taqueria kind of an eatery. I wish they would wear an apron or something when handling food. To make it shown how serious they are about sanitation. Or to not put back the unordered or cancelled food back into the tray.

First time trying this place. Wanted something healthy and high protein and was not disappointed. I…read morehave walked past this place multiple times but never really noticed it. Placed an online order and arrived a little early expecting I may have to wait a few minutes. However they had just finished and I was in and out in 2 minutes. Food was tasty and the fish was fresh vegetables were also tasty and not greasy or oily at all. Good portion sizes and reasonable prices in today's day and age. Will be making this a regular part of my rotation of places to eat out at since it's close by, reasonably priced, good portions, tasty, and healthy.

Fish's Wild has something for everyone except for coke lovers…read more I'm not talking about booger sugar... Grilled fish and steamed veggies for the health nuts...you can even choose no seasoning for punishment. Thai curry for the spice heads. And for the heffers? Hearty Hawaiian lunch plates. If you're a coke feen...sorry, only pepsi products here. Fish's Wild is a small local Bay Area chain with three locations in Silicon Valley. While usually in the Cupertino area weekly, I've never heard of it until now. With little to no social media presence, I found this spot on Yelp while looking for dog-friendly restos. Order at the kiosk and your order will be delivered to your table. Once you're done, they'll bus your table. F O O D * Mahi Mahi Taco ($5.49) I'm not a cooked fish kinda person but wanted to sample one of their fish dishes. A single corn tortilla is layered with tender, flaky mahi mahi and topped shredded cabbage, carrot, tomato, mango, and house cream adding a fresh, creamy sweetness with a tropical twist. * Loco Moco w/ burger patty, fried eggs, brown gravy, mac salad, rice ($16.39): https://tinyurl.com/ms4rfs8d Delicious and a great value, this came with perfectly cooked rice topped with two juicy, seared patties and oozy fried eggs. The rich, savory gravy brought everything together, while the cool, creamy, slightly tangy mac salad balanced out the hearty dish. * Hawaiian Grilled Short Ribs w/ mac salad, brown rice ($21.99): https://tinyurl.com/2j5wa4zp Surprisingly solid and good quality for the price. You get three flank-style short ribs that aren't thin, nor overly fatty. They're tender, rich, and flavorful with a nice smoky char from the grill. The accompanying brown rice had a nutty flavor and satisfying chew... which I actually preferred over white rice. S E R V I C E Friendly and prompt. A M B I A N C E Casual, no frills with 8-10 tables inside and 4 tables outside. Overall, Fish's Wild is serving up delicious, wallet-friendly eats. With more people looking for value-driven meals these days, I'm surprised they're not busy. If you're looking for comforting Hawaiian food several notches above the usual L&L, Ono, or Haiwaiin Drive Inn, (or a healthy omega-3 rich meal), give this small local business a try.

My colleagues and I went for a celebration. We got a reservation and were seated right away when we…read moregot it. The place is clean and spacious and you can see all the A5 wagyu in a special fridge with the certificate of each part. Our server/cook was extremely nice. We followed his suggestion of getting 4-5 different meats for the bbq. We got the A5 ribeye, wagyu beef tongue, wagyu short rib, black pork belly, and black pork jowl. He came back with all our side dishes, dipping salts, and our hot barley tea. He cooked all our meats in front of us. He took the time to cut them and make sure each pieces was cooked to perfection. Also, he made sure the side dishes kept flowing on the ones we liked the most. It was a great meal and we got some homemade strawberry froyo at the end. It was the best way to end a meal and gave us several more cups when we complimented on how good it was.

My wife, our oldest son and I returned to have lunch at Ramen 101 yesterday. As we walked-in, we…read morenoticed it wasn't as crowded as it usually is. It was probably because we arrived kind of later than we normally do, so the lunch rush was probably already gone. Nonetheless, we grabbed a table after placing our order. I opted for the Tonkotsu Ramen (Medium Spicy). My wife ordered a Mini Chicken Katsu and our son had the Miso Ramen (Medium Spicy). Our food arrived quickly. I enjoy all their Ramen. I like that you get nice chunks of Char Siu, Bean Sprouts, Kikurage Mushrooms, Green Onions and Kamaboko (Fish Cake) too. You get a good amount of food. They use an oil hot sauce, which my son and I prefer, over the powdered type other Ramen places use. The oil is spicier than the powder. My wife enjoys their Hawaiian dishes. She also prefers their mini size, since the regular size is too much. Her chicken was cooked nicely and she enjoys their Katsu sauce. Our service was quick and the staff are always friendly. Another solid meal at Ramen 101.

Came here for dinner because I couldn't decide what to eat…read more The food is consistent here and the fryer is always hot! The bbq chicken and beef plate was pretty good. I don't normally order bbq but this was done well, without too much sauce. I chose to go with all Mac but this plate usually comes with Mac and white rice. I also orders the chicken katsu plate. The chicken katsu was fried well. Super crispy on the outside but the meat was not dry at all. I liked that both dishes had steamed cabbage and broccoli to help me feel better about eating more veggies The inside of the place was minimal with tables all my the wall. The staff was quick with taking orders, bringing out utensils and bringing out the food. This is always a safe choice for dinner

Tokyo Central had a surprisingly wide selection of Japanese snacks, specialty items, and premade…read moremeals. The produce section was not as extensive as those at other Asian markets, but it was still adequate. However, the store carried many unique candies and snacks that I have not seen elsewhere. Notably, sakura flavored products were especially common during my visit. There were two large sections dedicated to premade meals, including rice bowls, hand rolls, onigiri, and sushi. The rolls seemed overly heavy on the rice, with relatively little fish filling. The prices also felt somewhat high for the portion sizes. However, the store offers a 20 percent discount on sushi and bento boxes daily after 6 PM. I ordered the nigiri combination, which included salmon, tuna, and scallop. The scallop was plump, and the tuna was sliced thickly. The salmon was slightly thin but still rich and fatty. Overall, the fish quality was good. The sushi rice was above average, with a distinct vinegar flavor despite being refrigerated. The total cost for the eight pieces was close to restaurant pricing, though the convenience factor partly justified it. I would rate this market a 3.5 out of 5 but rounded up for the good sushi rice. I would recommend shopping elsewhere for produce, but this is a good place for snacks and premade meals, especially after 6 PM.

Tokyo Central as replaced the former Marukai Market in Cupertino. I didn't realize it initially but…read morethe iconic Don Quixote chain in Japan is the parent company, which explains why their private label Jonetz products are featured in the store. The store is clean and popular, with all sorts of Japanese items.

Great location with very good adjacent stores like Izumi Matcha, Daiso, Curry Hyuga, Hui Lau Shan dessert, etc.

I think I found my new fave poke spot!! ~$20 for a large,…read morewhich is about $2 more than the regular. you got 2 scoops or protein for regular, and 3 scoops for large my brother and I got in around 730pm so it was empty. I got the large bowl with the soba noodle option (my first time getting it). This was like any other poke places, but the toppings offered were a lot more! I like that they had, mango, pineapple, radish, tomatoes, and chicharrones. And I LOVED that avocado, crab salad, and seaweed salad were already included in the price. I got the last of the soba noodles, so I was surprised that even though it was closing, she went into the back to get me more soba noodles even though it seemed like the amount she had given me was enough. they also allowed however many sauces you wanted to marinate the fish in. I chose unagi, the house sauce and ponzu. I also asked for spicy mayo drizzle at the end. my brother got the wasabi mayo but he said he barely tasted the wasabi when mixed in. total came out to be around $40 for two large bowls. I wasn't sure what I was expecting for the soba noodles, but I was pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed it. the sauces from the marinade seeped into the noodles gave it a nice light flavor. the fish was fresh and chicharrones were such a good contrast with the crunch (im a huge textures girl). I was able to eat half and and save the other half for lunch the next day. because I got soba noodles, I did not have to worry about heating up rice and separating the fish, so it was perfect. This might be a new way im gonna have to eat my poke from now on!

This used to be one of my go-to taco truck spots but over the years the quality and experience have gone downhill. Burritos are now around $16, which might be fine if the food still felt worth it, but it doesn't. The flavors aren't what they used to be, and everything tastes much more saltier than before. The service has also changed. The staff up front isn't very friendly anymore, and since COVID they got rid of the salsa bar (before it used to be self serve outside their food truck). Now if you ask for extra salsa, you're charged $1 for two tiny containers, which just feels petty given the prices. I think a good salsa can make or break the Mexican food. I really wanted to keep loving this place, but between the cost, the taste, and the overall experience, it's just not worth it anymore. Disappointing after so many years of loving this spot

I was glad it was not too busy when I went and there is plenty of parking! Definitely try this place out.

Not worth the price. We've been going here for poke for years, and over the last year, the quality…read morehas gone down so much. The portions of fish that you get, compared to the amount of rice, are almost non-existent. What you don't see in this photo, is the massive bed of rice hidden underneath the fish. Additionally, we paid for an "extra" portion of fish, only to get less than we would normally get with the 3 portions. They also left out the crab meat that we ordered entirely. Two poke bowls with very little fish, was $50. Unless something changes here, don't waste your time or your money.
