Nick the Greek in Castro Valley is a reliable spot for quick Greek eats. Their Chicken Souvlaki Plate is consistently really good--tender, flavorful grilled chicken skewers with rice, tzatziki, pita, fresh veggies, and that spot-on mustard sauce. Generous portions, fresh ingredients, and it's never heavy. Clean vibe, fast friendly service, perfect for takeout or casual dining. If you want solid Mediterranean street food, go for the chicken souvlaki--it's solid! read more

I've been to a few other Nick the Greek and have always been pleased but tonight fell short. To no fault of the friendly and helpful staff, I appreciated their service, but the food was Off. I ordered the Gyro bowl with beef/lamb meat. First the rice was undercooked and crunchy and there was way too much sauce overpowering everything else. Bummer because I have ordered this in the past and it was delicious. Another odd thing is that this location does not serve and beers or hard seltzers, which many other location do. I was curious and asked but the cashier did not know either. Oh well. I will probably stick with a different location next time. read more

Nick the Greek is usually pretty consistent with the food. So hopefully that is the case because we haven't gotten home to eat our food. So I'm sure it's pretty decent. The atmosphere was great very clean great restaurant. Today is Sunday, March 8, 2026. The time is 3:50 PM. My experience with the cashier (Sierra ) was not the greatest! she had a really bad frown on her face and a seemed to be negative attitude. I would just maybe talk to her or maybe some training for customer service I seen her attitude towards her coworkers and possibly a friend that was dining in and her attitude was great towards them. She was talking to one of the cooks in the restaurant and seemed to have a great attitude towards him. But for whatever reason had a really bad attitude with me, the customer. She was very standoffish. I had to ask for sauce which she should've offered. She did not. I asked for sauce. She only gave me two I asked for a few more if she charged me five dollars, which is OK I understand. But did not offer any utensils or napkins and I'm dining out. When I ask for napkins, she referred me to the napkin counter for people who are dining in part of her job description is to provide basic necessities when people are dining out she should not refer me to the dining Inn napkins succession. She just had a horrible all-around attitude. read more

I also explained that when someone finally did answer, I was left sitting on hold for over 20 minutes. I told him I wanted to escalate the situation and make a complaint because the service was completely unacceptable. He simply said, "Oh, sorry," and then hung up on me as well. At this point, what is the purpose of having a phone line if employees are just going to pick up and hang up on customers or leave them sitting on hold without ever coming back? I was trying to place an order for eight people, and instead I'll be taking our business across the street to The Breakfast Club. Denny's is losing loyal customers because of experiences like this.

We also ordered wings, which were equally disappointing; dry, unappetizing, and nothing to write home about. Overall, the prices are exorbitant for the quality of food being served. What I also find baffling is the concept of having a full-on sports bar atmosphere in the bar area, complete with TVs showing games, only to close at 3 PM while those very games are still going on. What's the point? Seems like a strange business decision for a place that clearly could cater to sports fans.

Nick the Greek is a reliable spot when you're craving fast, flavorful Mediterranean street food. I recently stopped by for a Beef/Lamb Gyro, and the meat was seasoned perfectly and cooked well on the rotisserie. The pita was warm and fluffy, making for a solid wrap that hit the spot for a quick lunch. I also really enjoyed the side of tzatziki, which tasted fresh and had a nice garlic kick. The menu has plenty of variety, including great vegetarian options like falafel and halloumi, which makes it easy to visit with a group. Service was friendly and efficient, though the restaurant can get a bit loud during the lunch rush. My only minor complaint is that the portion sizes for the sides, specifically the hummus, feel a little small for the price point. Additionally, I've occasionally had issues with online orders missing requested extra sauces, so double-check your bag if doing takeout. Overall, it's a consistently tasty "fast-casual" experience that I'll definitely return to. It's a great neighborhood go-to for when you want something better than standard fast food. read more

Just like the flames resteraunt it's a terrible family that owns and operates this name. The little nick that the parents opened this chain up for him is terrible and I am flabbergasted how they are ripping people off. The meat that falls on the floor then they throw it back in for cooking, meat that is dry because it stays out all day and reused for up to 5 days and side dishes that main ingredients that spoil and they reuse yet again. What a disgusting food chain. Nick the Greek needs to be investigated by the health department and shut down! A disgusting name for a disgusting family. I would give a negative star if I could. read more

Worst possible experience ever!!! If I could give negative stars, I would. Not only was my mobile order 15 minutes late - I was standing in the restaurant waiting for it, and at 10-minutes-late mark, asked about the order and was told they're "cooking the chicken" and asked whether I "wanted my chicken raw" - when I got home 10 minutes later and opened the order, I found - not warm, not even lukewarm - but right out cold chicken skewers, cold steak skewer, and cold greek fries. This is not ok, I want my money back!!! read more

I have been eagerly awaiting their opening and I am not disappointed. Their rice is fluffy and flavorful. Their chicken is really well spiced and all the meat was cooked well, juicy. Highly recommend! Also the salad was good, both Greek and the side, I think I preferred the Greek because it was heartier. read more

Love the place. Greek food obsession unlocked! An absolute game-changer. Fresh ingredients, mouthwatering gyro pitas, and those addictive Greek fries make it impossible to resist. Lightning-fast service, incredible flavor, and zero skips on the menu. 10/10--run, don't walk! read more

JC I the Greek delivers consistent, fast-casual Greek food with a focus on convenience and straightforward flavors. The menu centers on staples like gyros, souvlaki, and rice plates, typically served with seasoned meats, pita, and standard sides such as salad or fries. read more

Tried Nick the Greek in Castro for the first time and really enjoyed it. The food was fresh, the gyro was flavorful, and the fries were hot and crispy. Service was friendly and everything came out quickly. Definitely a spot I'd come back to when I'm craving Greek food. read more

They pay attention to little details , such as keeping your tea filled with hot water and packaging your leftovers for you. The restaurant itself is super cozy and clean. They've even been able to accommodate larger parties for us. We have tried and loved everything on the menu, but some of our reoccurring favorites are: - pumpkin curry - tom yum soup - tom Kha soup - pineapple fried rice This is 110% our favorite restaurant in Castro valley and one of our favorites in the entire bay area. Whenever we travel abroad, this is our first meal back home!

When you enter the building you see self ordering kiosks or you can go up to the counter and order. Being the technology infused enthusiast I am, I always order for us at the kiosk that way its easier to get us seated and ready for when the food comes in. They have a variety of items to chose from, salads, burgers, onion rings, fries and so forth. Something for everyone! My husband usually gets the Santa Barbara Char or a Salad and I get a Double Char with Cheese. Sometimes I get the BBQ Bacon Char because it does a really good job comparing to another burger that the restaurant with the Yellow Star as the mascot if you get my drift. Seating is a little tight in this restaurant but not difficult to get a wheel chair seated in this establishment. We had no problems with our food and the orders were prepared promptly when we order. Note -first time finding the entrance to Habit was a challenge even everything they built in that lot, we had not been out in ages that far down! Overall this was a satisfying burger experience and we will keep eating here as many of our orders come from Door Dash online when we don't go out.

Chef's Experience China Bistro

FAMILY EVENTS When I…read morego to eat at Chef's Experience China most of the time the occasion is for family gatherings. The year 2024 was the prime example. In February I ate for reception after a family friend's funeral. In June relatives and friends ate here after my nephew's high school graduation. Later that year in September I came here to celebrate my dad's birthday. There's something about this place that attracts family gatherings. Is it the food? The food here tasty and filling. Could it be the ambiance? The Chef's Experience China Bistro is a small restaurant. There are three dining areas. There is one at the side that is used for a banquet, which is the same space that was used for my dad's birthday party. In the middle there is a general dining area. At the back is a small section that could be used for a party - the same area that was used for my nephew's high school graduation celebration. I think what makes this place attractive is the bar when you enter the restaurant. How's the food? I like the stuffed eggplant, which is similar to eggplant parmesan. What I like about the orange chicken is the sauce is served on the side preserving the crispy breading. The sautéed vegetables aren't oily. Even though the menu doesn't seem overwhelming with items there are variety of items served at Chef's Experience China Bistro that you don't see at other Chinese restaurants. Since I mentioned about the bar I've order beverage such as Old Fashioned, Mint Julep, and Shirley Temple. I can't explain it but there is something about the vibe at Chef's Experience China Bistro that makes this restaurant a popular place to celebrate with the family.

He joked a lot and made us feel very welcomed. We haven't been back here in years. From what I remember, it was because the portion sizes didn't match the prices. Things have changed for the better. Our plates were full and everything we ordered came out hot, fresh and delicious. Shrimp and crab fried spring rolls - we were told this was their signature dish and is the most popular. We would order this every time we come back. Seafood fried rice had a good amount of mixed seafood and NO PEAS! Yaaaaay! Lol Sweet and sour chicken - surprisingly, this is the dish that stood out the most. The chicken tasted fresh and was juicy. In a lot of other places the chicken is more solid and dry. Not this dish. This one was very good!

I was especially excited to see that they also serve Lao food! My boyfriend and I originally came in for a quick meal, but after looking through the menu, we already knew we wanted to take some leftovers home. Jen was amazing! She checked on us at just the right times, gave us some recommendations, and was so friendly and easy to talk to. She made the experience even more enjoyable with her personality and little conversations. Lisa also stopped by to make sure we were enjoying everything, which I really appreciated. Now for the food, the pumpkin Thai tea was probably my favorite! I ordered it twice. I've never had it before and it was SO worth it. I'm honestly sad that it's seasonal because I'd definitely order it again. The larb was packed with flavor without feeling too heavy, and the Massaman curry really stood out to me. It's such a comforting, cozy dish, perfect for a night when you want something warm and satisfying. The Pad See Ew had really tasty noodles, and I loved that the peanut flavor was subtle but still came through. The chicken fingers were also really good! Overall, we had a great experience from the food to the service. We definitely left already talking about what we want to order next time. We'll be back!
