That's when I found Palmita. I'll be honest, I was on the fence. There are so many ghost kitchens and just straight up shitty food on DoorDash these days that I almost skipped it. I'm glad I didn't. I ordered the Wagyu Barbacoa Rice Bowl with the Palmita mole, and wow... this was fire. Fresh, clean, whole food that actually tasted homemade. Every bite was so good. I wish I had taken a picture, but I absolutely demolished it before I even thought about it. I'll definitely be ordering again, but next time I'm coming IRL. We need more places like this.

I've tried three of the related kitchens (similar ingredients and presentation, different tastes)…read more They've all been good and I felt like I was eating healthy. There was one menu item where I couldn't tell if the lettuce was pale romaine, or iceberg. Hopefully romaine, since iceberg has no nutrition. I'm thankful they're open late, and that food comes in paper-based boxes. BUT I wish they'd pay attention to notes, better yet, add a menu item for utensils and default that to none. For all of my orders, late in the day, I've put notes in the item and order comments to leave out plastic utensils, but they've been ignored or missed. I even attempted to do that in 2-3 other languages, despite the handwritten "Thank you" on the order. I have a big bag of unused plastic utensils and unrecyclable containers that I don't know what to do with, taking up room. I take my orders home, and if I don't, I have camping utensils as well as a metal straw in my car. Besides more prospective trash to pay to have removed, on the business side you're paying for something there could be less of to pay for and pass on the cost of. I've previously contacted the management of east-bay eats, and suggested they configure the restaurant menus, without any positive change. This is state law, and not new, to only give single-use utensils, condiments, stirrers, straws if customer requests them, not the other way around. Many places either don't know, that info hasn't been passed from management to workers, or they've ignored the law. It's really annoying if I don't catch that when picking up (assuming a live person to speak with), especially if I've said something already. Yes, some people on social use a laugh emoji, but it's not funny. Think of all the trash from takeout when every order has plastic thrown in. And there's nothing I can use a plastic fork for. At least with wood chopsticks I can use them to clean mud from the bottoms of my boots.

Also staff was very helpful with choosing between the mushroom dish which turned out to be the right choice. She thought fried mushrooms wouldn't be fresh if ordering takeout.

Seems heavy northern Chinese or western Chinese influence.

Far too often among Asian restaurants in the Bay, the menus are quite similar and the dishes taste like they were made with the same recipes. But here the menu had so much more flavor, variety, and creativity! It turns out that Veggie Lee was previously featured in a Michelin Guide to California, and after eating their food I'm not surprised. We ordered five dishes here and all of them were delicious. Each had varying intricate flavors, and unique ingredients. The Shark's Fin Bamboo Fungus Soup was a pleasant and interesting start to the meal. Followed by two dishes that I'll highly recommend: the Lemon Grass Bean Curd and the Pea Leaves with Abalone Mushrooms. The Pinenuts w/Tooms Fried Rice went great with all of these. Portions were huge and we had plenty of leftovers. We were too full for the desserts or Boba, but very excited to come back and try next time.

I wasn't sure he'd like it since flavors can be a little different and I don't like chow mein noodles with Indian spices, it just taste weird. I asked our Nepalese waiter lots of questions and he was very sweet. I ordered the Nepalese thali with boneless curry chicken. It was sweeter than traditional Indian curry which I really enjoyed and their side dishes were also delicious. The potatoes were very traditional Indian but the pickles were different . They also had this butter you pour on top of the rice which made it so much richer. I enjoyed every bit of my thali. He ordered the Kashmiri lamb which he totally enjoyed. Also they had complimentary chai, which I love to finish off the meal.

But how…read morecan you call that CRAB fried rice when it's basically rice and scrambled eggs that don't taste like crab at all and there's barely any crab on the rice. Super tiny amount you could barely taste it! So I ordered extra crab on the side.... small container of it cost $5!!!!! Not to mention, they don't let you buy some of their lunch soup like the thai resto before them! This is probably the last time I will ever order from this thai resto. There are tons of better places like this anyway with people with great and friendly personality.. This place sucks over all!!!!! Wow, I see my old review.. I'm not deleting it.. Recently, I have ordered four times from this place within two weeks.. I ordered the same things each time but the last time, I ordered more food/ other dishes.. My total was over $100.. the woman that took my order gave me a hard time and guilt tripped me because I asked for some extra pineapple for pineapple fried rice and extra broth for my soup.. she totally gave me a hard time. She didn't even put my order in until my husband got there and paid for it- SHE DOUBTED THAT WE WOULD PICK UP OUR FAMILY DINNER!!!!! Why did I even give this place a try again? I feel like an idiot! That woman is not good for business. She made me feel so bad ordering from them. The point of ordering over the phone is so when we get there, the wait time would be minimal. But no, she didn't trust that we would get our food.. So my husband had to wait for a long ass time! And the fried rice sucked! I don't think thai people cook their food. It definitely doesn't taste like thai food. The guy that took my order the last two times was amazing. I wish that he would be the one taking ordes all the time. But I think I'm done with this place.

The restaurant offers Japanese Style Cusine that primarily focuses on Ramen and Sushi but others things as well. Afraid that I would not like the place because of what was on the menu, I took my time to order and hubby had ramen with pork inside and I ordered Fried Boneless Chicken with a house salad. What I got were plentiful portions of chicken with great sauce and the house salad was delicious. I was so impressed by the fried boneless chicken I ordered another plate and another house salad. The waitress who waited on us was extremely nice and very helpful given the fact my husband is in a wheel chair and sometimes its hard to find places with accessible seating you can fit into. This place was totally accessible and she helped us get outside to the sidewalk safely. Everything was perfect and delicious and we have been regularly ordering from them online through Door Dash when we want to stay at home. For those of you who have been doubting this restaurant I would give it a try and see if you like it.

They had lots of delicious food jnside, something for everyone although I've never seen breakfast inside a Thai place before I always go straight for the lunch :) All the staff were very welcoming and let us take our time to order as we do get picky on what we order. Our time that we went, it was busy and they did have plenty of people who were waiting. It does tend to get busy on weekends. I do like chicken a lot after all these years and thats what I had.

While the food arrived fairly quickly, nothing really stood out, especially considering the prices, which I felt were a bit high for the overall quality. On a positive note, the restaurant has a beautiful, spacious interior with two separate dining sections, which creates a nice atmosphere. However, the service was disappointing. Despite the automatic 20% gratuity, our server never checked back to see how we were doing, refilled our water, or offered any condiments such as hot sauce. What made the experience more confusing was that additional guests arrived after us, so we weren't sure why we were rushed to order in the first place. Overall, the ambiance was nice, but the food and service didn't quite justify the price. Unfortunately, I would rather explore other dining options than to return.

But an Uber Eats…read morebuy-one-get-one deal plus a sudden craving for chilli chicken was apparently enough to get me through the door. We got the chilli chicken, and while it wasn't especially good, it did exactly what I needed it to do in that moment. Craving: handled. The surprise was the chicken curry. Rustic, hearty, comforting, and the kind of dish that feels less like restaurant food and more like something made to actually satisfy you. That one definitely hit the spot. So no, this isn't going on my "best Indian food" list. But when the craving hits and there's a good deal involved? I get it. Sometimes dinner doesn't need to be transcendent. It just needs to show up and do its job. And the food here did just that

Favorite Indian Restaurant, Hayward…read more August 2026 My nephew was craving for Tandoori and Butter chicken so we came here for much. We were served with appetizer called Papadum (Papad) which is are thin, crispy discs made from lentil, chickpea, or rice flour. They are served as an appetizer with mint chutney or tamarind sauce. They were so good! Next we ordered the Tandoori chicken and their lunch specials: Butter chicken, Chicken Vinaloo and Paneer Tikka Masala. All came with naan and side dishes. We also ordered the onion naan too. All the chicken entrees were very tender and fall off the bones. The Chicken Vinaloo was my favorite because of the tender, juicy chicken and the Vinaloo sauce was a tad spicy which I loved! I need to order an entree by itself next time! There was a rice pudding as a side dish they had and it was really good! It used to be plain and bland which I didn't like, now they added sliced almonds, golden raisins and other stuff that made it sweet. Perfect way to end the meal! Services were excellent! The waiter had all our orders correct and he was attentive. Definitely coming back for the weekend when they serve the buffet! Highly recommend this place.

From the moment we arrived, everything was excellent. The food was fantastic, the ambience was beautiful, the drinks were spot on, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. We started with the Trio Ceviche, which was delicious and beautifully presented. My wife had the Paella, and I ordered the Short Ribs--both were absolutely fantastic. Everything was plated beautifully and served quickly without feeling rushed. We also had the pleasure of meeting Miriam, the restaurant manager, who went above and beyond to take care of us. Her warm hospitality really made our evening special and turned a great dinner into a wonderful overall experience. We're already looking forward to coming back and trying more of the delicious dishes on the menu. Casa del Toro is definitely one of our new go-to places to dine! Highly recommended!
