Food:**** Service:**** Ambiance: **** A small mom/pop restaurant located behind our hotel. Great that it has a side door that we can enter from our hotel. We didn't have to drive. Very clean and all chair legs had tennis balls on so not to scratch the wood floors. First time here,We had a salmon bento box, salad and side of fries. read more

Excellent sushi and friendly service. Appears to be owner operated. Great out of the grind place to enjoy great food.

Wow. This place was unexpectedly great! The service was great, love that it's mom and pop. The ambiance is simple and welcoming. Love that the doors were wide open for air circulation. The food...simple amazingness! It's hard to impress my dad especially with a cheeseburger but he said it was one of the best ones he's had! Perfectly grilled, juicy, and composed. I'm big on a burger being easy to eat and not falling apart, so hats off to them. The bento was also amazing and something as simple as a Cobb salad and chicken noodle soup even hit a high bar. Overall, I hope that this place stays opened forever haha although the prices have gone up, what hasn't? Thank you for being open! read more

Little gem near my work. This is my boss's favorite spot so I had to try it out. Their terriyaki chicken was nicely cooked & California roll tasted was well-balanced combination of flavors and textures. Not too dry or mushy. The lady was friendly and they have tables and chairs. read more

Food and service was exceptional fast made to order and plentiful I had the chicken Teriyaki perfect sauce and tender. The table next to me had the burgers and fry's that looked and smelled like a California burger house would make. 5 stars read more

TLDR: rude service and doesn't wash hands, terrible food I came here for lunch. The staff owner is not friendly. She is rude: she doesn't get the order correct and then comes up to me tells me I didn't charge your for chips. I said. Ok and reach for my credit card. She asked do you have cash??! I said: no I never made a scene so I let it slide. Then I see she goes out to throw out the trash and she returns and I ask her for a box. For the rest of my food. She says I'll wrap it. She then proceeded to touch my food. A sandwich with her dirty hands. She never washed her hands. I will never return for terrible service and unhealthy habits that clearly violate health and safe safety food handling. Stay away. The food is also not good. read more

Great burgers!! Seriously real burger place. Nice people and the food was great. Clean place.

Perfect location walking distance from the airport hotels, especially if you're looking for a late lunch when other restaurants are closed! The food is delicious and the older couple running it are so lovely. Great mix of (authentic) Asian cuisine and American favorites. Pro tip: walk along the water when coming to/from your hotel to enjoy spectacular views. read more

BullsHead Express - Shrimp udon, Cobb salad - Burgers Near Me - Burlingame, California

Amazing find! Staying across the street for an early morning flight and happened upon this little gem. Between the four of us we had a western burger, fries, chicken donburi, ton-katsu donburi and a bento with teriyaki chicken and gyoza. Everything was delicious and generous portions! The burger was well seasoned and the fries perfectly crispy. I tried a bit of all of the other items and the donburi sauce is outstanding. Appreciate the very polite service and cleanliness of the dining room. Would 11/10 come back again! (We joked that when we fly back into SFO in 3 weeks that we should stop in again for dinner before we start our drive home to the valley! I was not joking...yum!) read more

Found this place and it's legit an ono (delicious) restaurant! Ordered teri chicken/sushi combo...fish was fresh, teri chicken was good and I really liked the dressing on my salad!! It's in a strip mall close to the Marriott hotel with plenty parking. The owners were very nice and patient while we decided what to order (order first then find a seat). We'll be back if we're ever in the area again! read more

This place has a great variety in their menu. We were at a conference at the SFO Marriott across the street. On our first visit I had the bacon avocado burger with fries. The burger was perfect and the steak fries were delicious. They had indoor and outdoor seating. The service was fast. We were greeted upon arriving and our orders were taken promptly. We went again the next day and I had their chicken teriyaki bento box. Good portions, fresh and delicious again. There were more diners during lunch. It was a nice atmosphere. I highly recommend . read more

The food is super tasty and the portions are large. The service is quick! I would absolutely recommend their donburi.

Great place with high quality food! Definitely great customer service and will be coming more often. The salmon Teriyaki bento box is by far my favorite one around. I'm usually careful but this place is on the money! read more

Good little stop I made !! Shrimp tempura roll they're very friendly and family owned love it.

Been working in this area for over three years and never even noticed Bullshead Express till now. Going in, I was expecting burgers, but that only took up a small portion of their menu. Their menu also includes: Sandwiches, salad, noodles, bento boxes, sushi rolls and more. I was a little shocked at what my total came out to be. My boyfriend and I ordered a Chirashi bowl, seafood Udon, two hot teas and it totaled up to $67 excluding tips. It was pricey, but the portions were huge and it was very delicious. So much umami in my seafood udon, which had mussels, scallops, salmon, hamachi, shrimp, tai, bak choy, spinach and onions. The Chirashi had three large pieces of salmon, hamachi, tuna, tai, seared tuna, a mixture of sashimi in poke form and a spicy imitation crab wrapped in a cucumber on top of sushi rice. We got more than what the menu said it would have. Although a little shocked when paying, I personally think that the pricing was reasonable for the items that I ordered because seafood is expensive and the owners did not skimp on the ingredients. I didn't order, but I did look at the three item bento boxes and the pricing for that was quite steep. The base price is $23.95, which really only comes with chicken teriyaki, gyoza, California rolls, or avocado rolls because anything else is an additional $1-2. If you want a repeat of one item, it's an additional $2-$5. Pricey....however, I do love supporting local businesses and the food was prepared with care by a lovely couple. I enjoyed all the items that were ordered during my visit. read more

Did a bento box. The food was ok, not the best value. I'd rate it a 3.5. The tuna sashimi was kind of bland, so not the best cut. The teriyaki chicken seemed to be a pre cooked piece heated up with teriyaki sauce. Rubbery is the best word. Burgers looked good, will try those next time. As for sushi there are better deals nearby. read more

I just flew in from SoCal for a work trip & arrived very hungry so I found this cute little spot down the street from my hotel. I ordered the Bento box with 2 items: Salmon teriyaki and a salmon roll + miso soup. The food here is very authentic and very fresh. The owners who also work as cashier & cook run this place like it's their home kitchen. The salmon was so fresh, crispy and flavorful. The miso soup by far is the best I've had yet! I definitely recommend this spot if you're looking for a filling yet yummy lunch or dinner! read more

A nice small but excellent restaurant with food that is a hearty amount of comfort food. I had the western burger, it was large and delicious. I also tried the sweet potato fries and some onion rings, I believe they were great, fresh out of the fryer and tasted great. Our table also tried the Californian roll and tempura roll, both were good. The service was excellent with the hostess meeting all of our needs as soon as she saw it was needed. Great service. The restaurant is small but with the excellent smells coming from the kitchen it makes this small but excellent restaurant a great place to go to. read more

BullsHead Express is the textbook definition of a hole in the wall restaurant. This place was even basically invisible even if you search your radius for restaurants on Yelp. This restaurant has been open for decades, but there isn't a ton of reviews which makes sense because of how hidden it is. It's close by the New England Lobster Market and I wanted to try out BullsHead even though their menu seemed strange with it being Japanese focused, but also serving burgers and sandwiches. Their name certainly doesn't scream authentic Japanese food. The location is discrete and parking is very easy. From the outside looking in my first thought is wow this place is really old and outdated. Every seat had tennis balls covering the bottom of the chairs which was funny to me and to be compeltely honest it's not the cleanest place in the world. My expectations were not high, but then you are greeted by an older couple that runs this family owned restaurant themselves. They were friendly and despite how this place looks I actually had a solid experience here. They take your order at the cashier then you sit down and I chose the 3 Item Bento Box ($23.95 + $3 for Tempura). Honestly it is on the pricier side for what it is which was surprising for the location. What keeps me from giving a 5 star is definitely pricing and for the bento box there is a lot of items that get a mark up of $3 or so like the tempura which can end up adding up to a pretty steep price. I have to say though, I really enjoyed my bento box. I got the California Roll, Chicken Teriyaki, and the Tempura that comes with vegetables and shrimp. The California Rolls were tasty and the avocados were fresh. The chicken teriyaki was honestly super tender and I liked how the teriyaki sauce didn't overpower the flavor of the well seasoned chicken. The tempura was honestly some of the best tempura I have had in such a long time. They didn't overdo it with the batter and it was incredibly crispy and flavorful. It surpassed my expectations easily and I was satisfied with my bento. My dad complained his sashimi was a small portion, but I had some of his salmon and it was solid, but I enjoyed my selections a lot more. Honestly, for what it is I was satisfied with the food at BullsHead Express and it is nice supporting a small family business. If you can stomach that fact that this is a pretty dated interior and the prices are a bit up there, the quality is still very good and the service is good as well. read more

Very nice small shop behind our hotel, the service was quick and friendly. We got two rolls from them I recommend the double spicy it was delicious. read more

What a great little restaurant. I got the mushroom burger and a California roll for a snack later. If you happen to be staying at the Marriott just walk directly behind the Hampton hotel, there's a little entrance where their outdoor seating is located. Ignore the gps directions that take you all around to the light and down. The service was friendly and quick. The burger was excellent! So juicy! Probably one of the best burgers I've ever had. Definitely a top ten list . I like that they make it how you like it cooked and it was cooked perfectly. The roll was pretty standard and also good, I'd order that again too or try one of their other sushi rolls, there's plenty to choose from. Burger was about $15, roll $11. Not the cheapest but nothing in San Francisco is cheap, definitely beats the other options around. read more

I was browsing Yelp to find something quick to eat as I was starving after work! Found this spot and ordered a salmon teriyaki bento box with California roll. I have to say this was hands down the best bento box I've ever had. I picked up my food and the restaurant is small and it the kitchen looks homey. Everything tasted so fresh and it came in a perfect portion of salmon, rice, salad and sushi. The food def feels like it was made with love. Like your grandparents making food in the kitchen. I will definitely come back again! Thank you! read more

Picking up my friend from the airport and chose this place because it was nearby; if you have time to chill and chat before you eat THIS IS THE SPOT. Who I assume are the owners was this older couple and they're so sweet. We ordered the super spicy roll, and the red dragon roll. Red dragon was good but the super spicy was DIVINE: Spicy Red tuna tempura is an amazing idea and it was crunchy! As well as the western & mushroom + onion burger: classic style burger that were HUGE! Both burgers were literally dripping from being so juicy. If I ever am near the airport I would definitely take a stop here. If you're pressed on time and a little tight on cash I wouldn't come here though! read more

I ordered two Greek salads for takeout for a colleague and I on Wednesday. It was over $35!, and the pale lettuce was swimming in the dressing and we could barely detect the cheese.

The food is really good, I ordered the same thing every time . It's just funny how the price seems to be made up every time I go. One time I ordered and it was 25$, the next time it was 35$, then today she didn't use the register she just used the calculator and it came out to 33$. And mind you I always get the same thing and all 3 times has been in 3 weeks. Today I asked for an itemized receipt and she gave me this receipt! And when she was punching it in it seemed like she was making it up as she went along! I really want to keep coming here but not if there prices fluctuate like this! read more

My daughter and I were looking for a breakfast/Japanese place close to the airport. Stumbled upon Bulls Head and guess what? They serve breakfast AND Japanese and are close to the airport. Restaurant is in the back of an office building that looks like a converted motel. We had trouble finding it even with a GPS. Order at the register, sit anywhere, very casual. I had the Denver omelette, daughter had a salmon teriyaki/tempura bento box. All the food was good. Portions a little on the small side. 3* for the food, +1* for location and the combo breakfast/Japanese menu. Recommend if you're looking for a quick, good, reasonable place to eat near the airport. read more

Wow!! I LOVE Yelp. We were staying at the Hampton Inn and didn't even realize there was a sushi restaurant with a secret entrance through the back hotel fence. I've also stayed at the Marriott Waterfront across the street so many times and this would have been just a 2 minute walk away...ugh! But I'm aware now and can't wait to order again. We choose to walk down Mitten to see the front entrance(pics attached). It's just a 1 minute walk down Mitten off Bayshore Highway to a office park on the left. The restaurant is not visible from the street but there is a sign on Mitten at the parking lot entrance(pic attached). The restaurant is more toward the end of the office park but it's a small lot so it's only a few steps to yumminess! It's Covid-19 time so we ordered our pick-up online via the Yelp app powered by Grubhub. It was a straight forward and easy process and quoted me a pick-up window of 20-30 minutes. We arrived at the 20 minute mark and our food was bagged and waiting for us when we arrived. We ordered two canned soft drinks with the order but we didn't realize we needed to grab them ourselves out of the cooler by the entrance. Not a big deal as we were so close to just turn around to grab them...just mentioning it so you grab yours. We both got 3-item Bento boxes. The Chicken and Beef Teriyaki are amazing. I love that there's a little bit of a spicy kick to the sauce. The rolls are also a good size and delicious. It's not a fancy sit down table clothed table type place but more of a self-serve place. You order your food up at the counter and seat yourself....Quick in/out yummy meal if your working nearby or staying at a local hotel. There is indoor dining (when allowed after Covid) and there are a couple of tables outside in the front as well as a few outside in the back. It really was delicious!! G read more

I have usually gotten bentos in the past, but this time, I decided to be adventurous and get a Chirashi Bowl. It was priced $24, which is standard in other restaurants, but because of its location, I had lower expectations. I was completely wowed when my order came out. The fish was super fresh and I was given generous portions of each type of fish! In the middle is a cucumber like roll with California roll type filling inside! It was topped with seaweed salad and all sat above a bed of mixed greens and sushi rice. The picture I took of it is beautiful. The food here is good, but pricey, but I just wanted to draw attention to the freshness, flavor, and beautiful presentation of the Chriashi bowl and will come back for more! Shame on me for judging a book by its cover! read more
