Friendly service, delicious food, comfy booths…read more I only have two vegan friends so I'm always bringing my meat loving friends and crossing my fingers that they will be open minded enough to step foot into a vegan restaurant. Because once they try the food, their perceptions always change. Curry vermicelli soup was great but super rich, so I would pair it with the spring rolls/avocado rolls/mushu mushu to balance the creamy coconut soup. As usual the eggplant tofu and pho were delicious :)

I loved the jerk pork tacos! The pork was juicy, tender, and aromatic, and the mango-papaya salsa added a refreshing sweetness. I also tried the paella Oyo that my sister ordered which was sooo yummy and full of protein. The small size was more than enough! My mom ordered the oxtail stew which wasn't on their brunch/lunch menu (dinner only), but I really appreciate that they were accommodating to make that dish for her. I've never had oxtail and it was delicious--tender, perfectly sweet and savory, and paired well with the plantains. The other dishes that my family ordered were hits too (jerk pork shoulder and seafood paella). We also tried the ripe plantains pancake Oscar for a sweet treat. I love anything marshmallow, so the brûléed marshmallow cream that blanketed the pancakes was heavenly. It also came with a plantain on top and a few other fruits to balance out the sweetness. Overall, we left full and all around very satisfied. The staff showed us such warm hospitality and came around often to check on us, despite being an almost packed house. The decor was beautiful and the atmosphere had a fun lively energy. With indoor and outdoor seating options, anywhere you get seated is a nice spot. Can't wait to visit again to try their dinner menu items and drinks, and hopefully catch some live music!

They even split the meal onto two separate plates for us. The food was reasonable priced, around 20-25 per dish.

This is the most amazingly restaurant in Pleasanton…read more The food is so good. Tea leaf salad, garlic noodles, fried bananas. Everything is tasty, flavorful and made with such love. The drinks are top notch and unique. Their lavender martini is our favorite. But what makes Experience Burma so wonderful is Myat and Jordan, the owners, and the friendly staff. You are family when you come here. They have also been so kind and generous to the Pleasanton community with fundraising nights for the schools and community programs. Our Scouting Troop leaders have been having our holiday party here every year, and they close the place down for us and we take over the restaurant! Everyone, vegetarian and meat eaters alike love it. If you want amazing Burmese food come to Experience Burma and if you want to have a private party this is the place to go with great food and amazing drinks.

It's probably been four years since I've ate here but my husband and I were in Pleasanton so I…read moreconvinced him to try this restaurant and boy is he glad he did. The service was great, our server was so attentive and helpful. The dishes he recommended were all great. We started with the salad and he suggested to us that we mix, lettuce and cabbage, which was honestly such a great combination. The platter and dip was so tasty, we also got sesame, chicken and pad thai. We told him that we wanted things a little bit spicier, and he had the kitchen and the perfect level of spice. Also the zero proof lavender martini, which I highly recommend. It is a little bit of the Gingery side though. The restaurant it's really cute inside, it's not super fancy, but it's enough to be a good date night.

We also got an iced matcha and an iced vanilla latte. Everything was flavorful and hit the spot. They have both indoor and outdoor seating.

I usually go to the Pleasanton location, so I was excited to try this newer spot. So glad they opened another location -- can't wait to come back for more!

Both were good, but I'd say the grits were the best tasting option it was super rich and cheesy. The ginger bread latte was decent, basically a latte but with cinnamon. They had a whole display of hot sauces to pick from and I actually really liked their house made hot sauce it wasn't super spicy but had nice fresh flavor. Sandwich was about $10 and grits were about $12, and came with delicious toasted bread.

1 star…read more "Unfortunately, our experience at Brava Garden Eatery for my wife's birthday was disappointing from start to finish. When making the reservation, I specifically noted that this was a birthday celebration and selected covered outdoor patio seating through the reservation system. When we arrived on time, we were told there were no tables available in the area your reservation platform had offered us. To make matters worse, after a staff member asked us which available table we preferred, we pointed one out, only for another waiter to immediately give that exact table away to a smaller party while we stood there as a party of six. That set the tone for the evening. Service throughout the night lacked professionalism and hospitality. One male waiter, approximately in his 40s with slicked-back hair, was consistently rude, dismissive, sharp in tone, and visibly uninterested in helping our table. His behavior affected our entire party and made us feel unwelcome. Management should seriously address his service etiquette and overall conduct toward guests. The most disappointing part was the complete lack of acknowledgment of my wife's birthday. Throughout dinner, we watched several other tables celebrating birthdays receive desserts and recognition from staff, while our table received absolutely nothing despite the restaurant being informed ahead of time. At the end of dinner, we were simply handed the bill with no acknowledgment whatsoever. My wife even turned to me and asked, 'What about my birthday?' and honestly I had no answer for her. The evening felt careless, disorganized, and poorly managed. We did not receive the seating we reserved, experienced rude service, and the special occasion we communicated in advance was completely ignored. Overall, it was a poor dining experience and not somewhere I would currently recommend."

You can tell when someone truly cares about what they do, and it shows in every bite. The flavors were bold, perfectly balanced, and somehow even better than I imagined. It felt like every detail was done with passion and pride. And the person behind it all? Super kind, welcoming, and clearly talented. Watching someone put that much love into their cooking is rare these days. I walked in expecting a normal meal... and left completely blown away. If you ever get the chance to try their food, do it--you'll understand why I'm still talking about it!

Malatang is a Chinese staple food, it is like pizza, chicken wings or bbq, you have to try to make it bad. The main differentiating between them is ingredients and broth. The main broth (Tomyum) is pretty tasty, I thought it would be thick and heavy but it is more like a soup (I did drink a bit and it was delicious). Ingredients vice it is just what you eat at buffets that has hot pot or malatang section. I found the lamb to be a bit better quality than buffets, fried egg old and stale (the only disappointment), green veggies quite a surprising delight (I usually don't eat that). Pig intestines, beef tendon are well cooked and seasoned, which were also delightful.

I have been to a few of their other locations before, but this was my first time at this one. We…read morecame for the weekend lunch buffet around 11:30 AM, and within about 20 minutes it got pretty crowded. The food was good overall, with a solid variety: chicken, mutton, and fish curries, biryani, several vegetarian dishes, mango lassi, sweets, curd rice, puri, vada, noodles, and hot tea. My personal favorites were the carrot halwa, mango lassi, and biryani. The only downside was how they handled the naan. Instead of having it at the buffet, they serve it directly to the table. With the rush, it was really hard to get any, we waited almost 20 minutes for our first (and only) basket. It would be much better if naan were available at the buffet or if they circulated it more frequently. On the plus side, they were quick about clearing plates. Prices are reasonable: $24.99 for adults and $11.99 for kids, with kids under five eating free.
