We had dinner with my friends here yesterday, and let me tell ya. This place is amazing. Starting…read morewith cozy, chill vibes from the moment you enter the restaurant, to THE delicious food and super fun, kind staff. We had a birthday party here. Ordered the Spread combination to begin with. Absolutely in love with hummus and babaganus. I got a Salmon plate aka Solomos for me. It was really good, perfectly cooked and it comes with some veggies. My friends got Seafood paella, Seafood linguini. The food is great, and the portions are huge. After the mains we had some desserts. Chocolate lava cake is sooo good ughhh, you gotta try it. Definitely will come back (as I already know what I want to try next time). So glad we chose this place for the birthday celebration. Shout out to Arlen, Stefany, and Jeorge. Thank you for your service. You guys are amazing!

It's hard to find good, non Asian food in this area. Most of the ones that are not Asian tend to be…read morerated good because of the amount of food they serve. Bahche is one of the rare exceptions. It has good ambiance, located in a nice area and has good service. We ordered several dishes and everything was very well made -- flavourful, decent serving size and yummy. None of the dishes we ordered were too greasy either. The octopus starter and the lamb chops stood out to me. The only negative I felt were the prices. We landed up spending about $250 for three. That's what one would pay for an upscale steak house with great service -- Bahche was not that good. That's why I reduced the number of stars by 1.

Love this place, another amazing visit. This time "sandwiched" in between flights. Left SFO with…read morejust enough time to pick up a mobile order, then rush back to SFO and power through TSA. 100% worth it, cost and stress. This is truly the best lobster roll I have had to date and I wish I had more time to sit down and enjoy it some more.

Solid lobster rolls, but worth $48??? Seriously???…read more The lobster plates are a much better deal. Came on a weeknight and got a deal on the lobster special. Fun atmosphere, and the place was well attended, but parking is weird. Lots of people competing for parking for a weeknight church service?? Had to park 1/4 mile away. But I will be going elsewhere for a great roll. There's just no justification for that kind of pocketbook punishment.

The food here is incredible. The seafood is so fresh and the hot dishes are beautifully cooked. The…read moreservice is amazing. There are some lovely waitresses with a positive attitude and amazing bartenders. The inside of the restaurant is absolutely beautiful. To the owners: please please do not ever close this restaurant. It's the only seafood place in the area with as fresh options as you. This is one of the best seafood places to come to Redwood City in a very long time!!! I hope you stick around.

Brought my mom here on Mother's Day. I think service was a bit of a mess unfortunately. They were…read morebusy but seemed to have enough staff to cover and they weren't at capacity. I think there were communication issues. there was some mix up with the tables and throughout the night after that our orders kept getting mixed up with not just one but two other tables. So we would see our food from afar being held in front of a group of servers where they would have a conversation over our plates of food for a few minutes then go to other tables, and try to give it to other tables before it finally got to us. The staff explained there was a mixup and due to that all the orders continued getting mixed up during our meal, but there was no acknowledgment otherwise or an attempt to make things right. I think because the group tip is already mandatory, there was no incentive on their end, perhaps. The bus staff are pretty available and responsive but limited in what they were allowed to assist with and the server was hard to flag down. Anyway onto the food. The clams linguine was flavorful. The crab Alfredo pasta had a lot of crab which was a pleasant surprise but a little lacking in flavor and a little on the sweet side with cream and crab notes. Cioppino was better than expected. Oysters were good and an okay price. Key lime pie was decent. I think 3.5-4 stars for the food (probably 4 at the happy hour rates!), 2 for service. Ambiance is a bit weird. Like somewhat upscale with some decor and high ceilings but not in others. Worthwhile to return for happy hour and may update review then!

Loved it. We ordered a whole bunch of items and almost most of them were really good. Highly…read morerecommend the duck breast, and beef tongue (both styles). Oyster is also pretty good. The clam with vermicelli is not recommended (tiny clam). Service was awesome. We got water refills and napkin refills very often. Waiters and waitresses are nice and friendly, especially with our little one.

A bit fusiony for a typical Chinese bbq place with some Japanese yakitori options. My personal…read morefavorites were the beef tongue (JP), chicken hearts (JP), Gizzard (CH), Lamb (CH), Beef (CH), Achoy, and Green chives. Semi sweet glaze over complimented well with some of the bitterness of the veggies. Spice powder on the side was also a nice addition! Barely spicy but good to add with the meat. Honestly everything was not bad. My biggest gripe though was that these hot plates were heated by two tea lights and basically did little to nothing. You can hold your finger there and it will feel barely warm at all. The food is already cooked so it's not like it did anything other than to "warm." There were other tea light candles underneath and if the other ones lit up, it might've actually did something. If I could, I would've lit them all up since I prefer my food hot. Otherwise, these hot plates are pure aesthetic, near zero function.

La Ronda in San Mateo is a great find! The service was genuinely friendly and attentive from start…read moreto finish, and the menu is impressively diverse with something for everyone (though vegetarians may have fairly limited options). The restaurant was a little more than half full when we had dinner there on a Friday night and the ambiance is lively but not loud. We ordered a variety of dishes and everything was delicious, with very generous portion sizes that left us so full (with leftovers to spare). The ceviches were bright, limey, and tart in the best way, the chicken wings were crispy and juicy, the papa rellena was especially interesting (almost like an inside-out, deep-fried baked potato) with olives and raisins that were a pleasant surprise, and the lomo saltado was as comforting and dependable as it usually is. To top it all off, they even offer Peruvian beers, which was the perfect way to wash everything down. The location is a little bit odd but easy enough to find and park (there is plenty of parking across the main street in front of the BevMo if there isn't any directly in front of the restaurant).

I was skeptical when my coworker mentioned Peruvian food because I've BEEN to Peru for two…read moreweeks,and didn't like the food there. This place really changed my mind. If this place was in the Mall it would dominate. This place is a couple blocks away, kind of hidden on a main row. Coworker got the Tallarin Salteado which was basically a steak spaghetti and she liked it a lot. They give you complimentary bread, just beware the green avocado one is spicy! It does NOT look spicy, but it is! I got the La Ronda Plate which had 3 items: combination plate of fried calamari, fish ceviche and seafood rice or seafood fried rice....everything was really good and fresh. It had flavor and really was cooked well, unlike the seafood and rice I had in Peru where my complaint was no flavor. Heck, go here and it will save you the plane fare! Got their Chicha Morada, pricey at $6.95 with purple corn pineapple & spices, I would probably not get this again because it was kind of like a bland drink to me...instead I would get their passionfruit drink next time. Both of us got their homemade flan which was a 5/5! Would definitely come back to try more dishes in the future.

Located in the Marina Shopping Plaza. I've been going to this plaza for 10+ years and never knew…read morethere was a seafood boil here. It doesn't seem to get very crowded and we had no wait for a party of 4 on a weekday evening. They offer AYCE and per pound. We opted for AYCE ($35/person) and it was definitely worth it. There's a 90 min time limit, but they weren't strict at all. There are some restrictions on the type of seafood you can get (no crab), but I typically only eat mussels and clams so it was fine for me. You can also add in sides like sausage, corn, & potatoes. As part of the AYCE option, you can order appetizers like sweet potato fries, garlic noodles, and Cajun corn ribs (my favorite). The staff are friendly and attentive. They let us order past the 90 minute time limit and the food came out decently quick. Will be back!

Came here during a work trip. Saw the ayce seafood boil. How can I say no to that?…read more Anyway, my coworker and I walked in at about 5pm on a Wednesday and it was dead. We saw to people there and they greeted us when we came in. Seemed like it was a mom and daughter. They were very nice. They sat us down and gave us the menu and how the ayce works. I am not sure how to rate the food. The selection of seafood that you can pick was nice. Clams, mussels, shrimp and crawfish were the seafood picks you can do. Potatoes, sausage, corn were the free add on that you can do. I do not eat crawfish, which was also a seafood pick, so I can't review that. Everything was good. The shrimp was hit and miss, depending on the piece. They were peel and eat, but some shrimps were mushy meaning those shrimps were old. It was tolerable. Nothing that I haven't had before. I'll let it go for the price point they offer. The clam and mussels were good. As expected. The sausage, corn and potatoes were good as well. The place was pretty legit. The fried shrimp and fried chicken wings were amazing! Freshly fried, they were juicy and steaming on the inside, and crispy on the outside. Although the place was dead (it was a Wednesday after all), we did see a lot of people come in and pick up food to-go. Not sure if they were customers or drivers picking up for Doordash/Uber Eats. All in all, I would definitely come back to this place.

I had a good overall experience here, mainly because the crab was really delicious, fresh and…read moreflavorful and definitely the highlight. The other seafood options were fresh too and for an all you can eat spot, the pricing was really good and variety seafood options. The downside was the wait time for crab new was pretty long, which was frustrating. One thing that really took away from the experience: around 9:55 pm while we were still sitting and finishing dessert, staff started cleaning with a strong bleach smell. Eating ice cream or your dessert while smelling bleaching and light were almost turned off is not pleasant at all and it ruined the dessert moment for me. Dessert wise strawberry ice cream was really good. Overall great food, especially the crab but the timing and cleaning situation needs improve.

They have outdoor seating, and were dog friendly which we really appreciated! They also have heaters that did a great job keeping us warm while we dined. I'm typically a fan of greek cuisine, but I wasn't the biggest fan of the options here. To start, we shared a bunch of appetizers, and got the calamari, pita with various dips, octopus and fried olives. The calamari was just okay, but the dips were really tasty and fresh! The octopus was a surprising standout and had great flavor and char that I loved. I thought frying olives would help me like them, but I can confirm I'm still not an olive fan haha. Their main courses seemed to highlight lamb, which I'm not the biggest fan of, so I decided to play it safe and just get the chicken skewers. Pretty standard chicken skewers, nothing really stood out. Despite Elia not having many options that appealed to me, I still had a great experience, and would definitely recommend for those who like the options they have here!

The marbling is beautiful, and it literally melts in your mouth. * **The Broths:** The sukiyaki broth is perfectly balanced--rich and flavorful without overpowering the meat. * **The Service:** Outstanding.

It is absolutely worth the price for a special night out or a serious craving. **Pro tip:** Make a reservation or join the Yelp waitlist early, as it gets busy fast. Can't wait to come back!

The food came out promptly but I would skip on the wagyu tartare. There was little to no flavor with no chips to scoop it. The seafood platter was my favorite. Huge variety that also comes with your meal. The vegetables were lacking though. The service was efficient. I think they could've changed their little rooms to grab the dipping sauce and dessert. It was crammed and not organized at all. It was so small that I could barely walk around. I almost slipped walking back to my table because the floor around there was wet! Despite what I mentioned above, the food quality was great. The Thai tea soft serve was also great! I'll be back only for a special occasion. I mentioned my birthday during check-in and they didn't do anything special.

You can feel the care and passion in every part of the restaurant. MeeSun, the owner, is an absolute gem.

We celebrated my birthday there, and as my first birthday single in 10 years, I honestly could not have chosen a better place to spend it. The atmosphere, kindness, and overall experience made the night unforgettable in the best way possible. I already cannot wait to go back. Highly, highly recommend!
