    October Asian Pacific Film Festival 2025!
    Kay O.

    I was honestly shocked to find out that Sunnyvale was hosting this Asian Pacific Islander film festival!! I've been to another film festival before, and it was always at a smaller location! I'm very impressed with AMC and them hosting this amazing event for the community!! My family and I arrived early so we could meet with some of the local stars in the movie and got some great pictures of the artist as well as the producers!! They had a great Q&A session after our morning session of films were shown! The audio sounded great, and I loved the casualness of all the questions as well as how each artist was able to answer. The question asked by the moderator. I wish I bought tickets for Friday as well as Sunday's events because I would love to see all of the movies!! I definitely know I will be coming back here again next year if they're sponsoring again! I will also say the theater was incredibly comfortable within the seats, as well as easy to maneuver and walk by somebody without bumping into them. I loved the La-Z-Boy chairs and how you could tilt them back and hold a larger size drink without spilling it! Hee The concession stand had a lot of different hot foods you could get, but we were going to go out for lunch afterwards, so we just had drinks. I also liked their open bar area and everything was incredibly clean!! Beautiful new theater that I can't wait to see other movies in!!

    We enjoyed coming to this theater, great space, decent customer service. My complaint, the popcorn was nasty and stale. After a few bites, I knew it wasn't fresh and I got a replacement snack, some nachos. There's nothing worse, than watching a movie, and having stale ass popcorn as your snack. I'll come back to watch a movie here, hopefully the popcorn is fresh next time around.

    Went to watch F1: The Movie in an IMAX theater. I find this location newer and cleaner than other AMCs in the area. The seats in auditorium 1 are leather reclining seats without heating function, very comfortable and spacious. You can raise the middle armrest to make it into a loveseat. You can order food from the app and get it delivered to the seats with a delivery fee. The wait time for the food is relatively long. And I find it very hard to eat in the dark. The audio effects make the experience very immersive. Feels like you're part of the movie.

    I saw the Mortal kombat 2 movie poster on my way out!

    I came here with a friend to watch the new movie the Undertone! Unfortunately the theater was extremely dirty and there was so much garbage underneath the seats. I was extremely disappointed with how much trash there was and I saw it in the isle when I went up there and it seemed like the gentleman who was cleaning just kicked it underneath. Aside from that the theater has a nice modern and updated feel to it! If they cleaned up the rooms better I would highly suggest coming to this location!

    This was our first time watching a movie at this theater. It has to be one of the nicest theaters I've ever been to. It's beautiful inside and very spacious. The seats were extremely comfortable and adjustable. There are even controls to heat your seat if you want. The sound in the theater was excellent and the temperature was just right inside. The theater was immaculate. It was clean inside the theater and the bathrooms. We didn't order food to be delivered to our seats but we did get popcorn at the concession stand. The popcorn was actually better than Cinemark, which is where we usually see movies. The staff were also friendly and helpful. We will definitely be coming back here for our next movie.

    This theater is so cute! It's located at the prime location next to WholeFoods and Target and in adjacent to Downtown Sunnyvale and Tipsy Putt! Literally you can do everything here before or after the movies! Parkings were easy! You can either park in the WholeFoods or Target parking lot and it's a short walk to the theater. This theater is located on the second floor. If you take the escalator up, you'll see your view opened up to cute chandeliers and floor-to-ceiling windows that give you ample lighting and nice view of the surround area. I love how spacious the reception area is and that it has a bar and food court area just right there for your snack and drink needs. Everywhere I went looked clean and tidy, even the restrooms. The theater itself has leather reclining seats which provide the most comfortable movie watching experience :)

    This was my first visit to this AMC. I believe I'd been here when it was a Showplace Icon. They definitely did a full remodel. The entire theater was gorgeous and well kept. I can tell that it's well staffed just upon entry. The theater I had was intimate but the screen was huge and the seats were very comfortable and clean. Definitely worth the drive for me being closer to other AMC locations. Honestly I wish they were all as updated as this one is!

    Love coming to this AMC it's nice and clean. The bartenders are nice and make good drinks. The food here is actually really good however I feel that the portion size of food got smaller in comparison to when they first opened. But regardless I love coming here and will be here again.

    Big screens, comfortable seating and clean theaters.

    It's a nice, clean theater. It does not have its own dedicated parking lot, so it can be hard to find close parking. This theater you can pay online or at an in person kiosk. They offer reclining seats, order refreshments to seat. A lot of extras. I like it here, the parking is the biggest downside.

    Large soda and popcorn

    The popcorn is amazing I love coming here with my family super clean. The service is always a 10/10 great customer friendly. The food here is also great especially the chicken tenders and pop corn.

    AMC theatre's.

    Do all of their auditoriums have heated seats?

    Auditoriums Three through Twelve have Heated Seats. Auditoriums One and Two (IMAX and Dolby) have reclining seats but, they are not heated.

    Does the theater share the parking garage with Whole Foods? If yes what level of the garage has access to the theater?

    As far as I'm aware, none of the garages have direct access to the theater. You can park in the garage, ut have to walk the corner of while foods to get to the main entrance of AMC the take the escalator up

    I think it's kind of funny that there is such a discourse amongst other reviews about whether or…read morenot this place is a speakeasy. As a speakeasy enthusiast myself I definitely agree to the fact that it is "hidden" but also it does kinda give corporate vibes a little bit - maybe we can say they "gentrified" the speakeasy experience which is honestly so funny for Palo Alto. But anyways I don't think a classification should stop you from visiting it. The food is actually surprisingly really good. We came with a pescatarian and honestly while the offerings for snacks were a bit slim, every option was really good. I feel like this was the first time where I understood the price even the the quantity is no where close to be desired. One shrimp is like $6 and I was like whoah. Service is definitely more laid back and it's overall just like a more chill atmosphere. I'm fortunate to work nearby so I'll definitely visit this place a few times after work to blow off some steam... And the drinks! Yes they are good! They are also quite strong! Would come back again but also if you're conscious of budget then I'm not sure if you'll find the same value proposition.

    Food: 3 / 5 Service: 3 / 5…read more Ambiance: 2 / 5 Let's start off by making sure that we're all on the same page... This is NOT a speakeasy. Using that language sets up an expectation that neither the ambiance nor the vibe is able to live up to. I can only assume that those reviews that commend this place as a speakeasy have never actually been to a real speakeasy and are more accustomed to box restaurants and bars. I sat at the bar and ordered a bourbon neat with a water back. There were three staff members behind the bar, none of them were particularly friendly or outgoing, which as someone who worked in the industry for years is surprising as a new establishment. Even though it was happy hour time, it was a Wednesday the place was less than half full and good servers /bartenders normally add to the experience and help creat a customer base of regulars to sustain business after the "come see" crowd is over. I ordered d' nuts as a snack and they weren't very special, even a bit overcooked / burnt. Maybe this place is exciting for a Palo Alto crowd that doesn't get out much, especially on the stretch of California given the lack of competition. My guess is that after a few months they will be hard-pressed to find a steady crowd.

I was here playing in my APA league and we also got a practice table. At around 10pm a waitlist started to form, Tino came over to take our table away. We politely offered to just pay the regular hourly rate to keep it. He asked how many of us there were. When we said two, he visibly scoffed, acted like that wasn't enough, and told us we would have to pay the rate for four people if we wanted to keep the table. Then, he just took the table away from us anyway. Worse, when I was complaining to my teammates, he started yelling at me, complaining that we had the table for three hours, that his employee hadn't had lunch yet, and that we needed to give it up and get back on the waitlist. His entire attitude was aggressive, and he tried to make me feel like I was in the wrong for simply playing on a table we had legitimately secured. Later, when the league ended around 11pm, the double standard became painfully obvious. Tino came over specifically to shut down our league table, even though several other teams were still practicing on theirs. He completely ignored everyone else and specifically targeted us. I have been playing pool for nearly 20 years, currently shooting as an APA level 7, with a FargoRate of 568, and I know proper pool hall etiquette. I have never been kicked off a table, singled out, or spoken to this way by staff anywhere. Absolutely unacceptable customer service. Final words to 946: if you don't want the league to interrupt your business, just don't host it. If you choose to host it, treat the players nicely, as we are customers too.

So definitely no complaints. The venue itself is great, surprisingly kids friendly (lots of games and things to do), food (primarily Mexican) is excellent, beer and alcohol selection superb, probably a really good place to watch San Jose Sharks games and the Caddy Shack photos in the bathroom was a nice touch. Also, I have to add that ahead of the Super Bowl I called and visited a couple of times, and the staff was very helpful. So overall, very happy with the experience and would highly recommend. Hope to be back again sometime in the future.

Alter Ego is a proper intimate lounge with their full bar, and it feels like a world away from the street outside. The transition between the two spaces is surprisingly seamless and genuinely fun to experience. And they're open late, which puts them in a rare category of places actually worth staying out for. Whether you're there for a chill night out or a proper evening, this place delivers both without making you choose.
