My favorite appetizer is their mushroom salad; it comes with a bunch of mushrooms hidden in the middle, and the dressing is a little sweet. Did not enjoy their uni pasta as it was grainy. Loved their drinks as it was aesthetically pleasing. I got the Dawn Violet Ade and they made a show of it by pouring the butterfly pea which was pretty. Would come back on special occasions.

The skuna bay salmon was a 15/10... it's the #1 protein I eat, but I've never had anything as good as the salmon served here.

All in all, clearly I'm blown away from start to finish. Vibe was fun and welcoming and loved that I could bring my dog to enjoy this incredible dinner by my side.

Wish there was a tiny bit more seafood but it was fresh and served on the hot plate which kept the food warm throughout the meal. Also tried the chicken karaage and veggie tempura. Flavor of the chicken was great but it was a bit chewy. It said it would take 20-30 min for the okonomiyaki but it felt like the food came out much quicker than that.

Rokko offers a huge Izakaya style menu including sushi and meshi, and Fugestsu offers okonomiyaki aka Japanese pizza / latkes. - While the Izakaya style offerings were great, the okonomiyaki was fantastic! I hadn't had it for a couple years, and I'd forgotten how magical it is. Came here in a group and did a family style order including the okonomiyaki "sampler." The four items in the sampler were the first four items completely eaten by our group! Maybe all okonomiyaki is this good and I'd just forgotten. Or maybe Fugetsu is really special. Actually it's special no matter what because even if you're the only okonomiyaki lover in your group, your dining companions can order from the giant Rokko menu with all its other stuff. I'll be back.

Came here with friends craving real Lanzhou beef noodle soup and Ox 9 delivered the goods…read more Ordered both the spicy and the clear broth to compare. The spicy is the one to get. Deep red chili oil on top, beef broth underneath that tastes like it actually simmered for hours, tender braised beef, bok choy, scallions, and cilantro finishing it off. Heat builds slowly and stays there, not the cheap instant burn you get at lesser spots. The clear broth version is clean and comforting, more for the purist crowd, but the spicy has way more depth. Noodles are the real deal. Hand pulled in house, chewy with that perfect pull when you bite in, holds up in the broth without going soggy halfway through. You can order different thicknesses, which is the move. The cucumber salad appetizer is a must. Whole cucumber fanned out like a dragon coil, dressed simply with garlic, vinegar, and chili. Crisp, cold, cuts through the spice of the soup perfectly. Get one per person, trust me. Service is fast, prices are fair for what you get, and the bowls come out hot and massive. One of the most legit Lanzhou spots I've had in the Bay. Already planning the next visit.

I want to come back for lunch so I can get their Yunnan Rose Coffee or Tea Latte. It says on the menu that their coffee beans and tea leaves are from pristine mountains of Yunnan. They do serve coffee for dinner time but I can't take the caffeine at night. The service is above average for a chinese restaurant. The waiter was pretty patience with us as we brought an elderly guest with us at the table so we took a little longer to enjoy our meal. The interior design of the restaurant is pretty interesting where the booth is align an triangular shape with a center piece so the tables can be put together for larger parties very easily. Definitely easier to get a table for parties of 4 or less but it will work out for larger parties as well.

Cozy, warm, and gives you that greenery feel without actual plants -- just super inviting and perfect for a chill meal with friends.

The first time we had to circle around multiple times and then risk parking in a tiny spot. The second time we came right when it opened 10:30am and beat the rush You order at one of 3 kiosks. We each got the 2 proteins (fried chicken and hainan chicken) with the house salad and chicken rice. The singapore chili sauce was ok when mixed with the ginger scallion oil. The thai ginger soy was amazing. The sesame garlic was very sweet; I wasn't a fan. The fried chicken was amazing esp with the thai ginger soy. Hainan chicken was moist and delish.

I went with the Box (Do-Si-Rack): Your choice of main dish and rice or salad served with mandoo (two chicken pot stickers), japchae noodle (stir-fried vermicelli with vegetables), two side dishes (pickled kimchi and pickled cucumber).

The ponzu really shined and it wasn't fishy at all. Also oddly refreshing. The liver tasted like a paste almost. Sake carpaccio- Smooth, sweet, and light. The salon was nicely seared and tasted wonderful. Yakiniku Kochijan- The pizza crust was light and flaky and the cheese had an amazing cheese pull. The kimchi was subtle but it was definitely present in flavor. Jako Mentaiko Meshi- Dried fish and cod roe clay pot rice. The rice was super crispy and the dried fish had a ton of flavor. When mixed in thoroughly with the rice it just brings out the essence of the fish and the flavor. Overall, a solid spot!

Their dishes are customizable so I chose it to sit on top of Egg Rice (which also was on top of some shredded cabbage). I chose the spice on the chicken to be lemon pepper (non spicy option) and Angry sauce drizzled on top (which is flavorful and just enough spicy). This was listed as their best selling. Bcuz many photos had the Corn Cheese, i decided to add that on as a side. Did I need the .99cent mac salad add on too? No, I would have been full without either side, But did i enjoy them and glad I tried, yes! It was my first time there so I went for it. I have some Santa Clara favorites and will add to my list of places to go when I'm working over here. The service was friendly, on time, and interior has cool vibe and a great place to hang with your friends.

The pork was tender, flavorful, and had a nice smoky savory taste throughout. The kimchi fried rice added a good balance of spice and tanginess that paired perfectly with the richness of the pork. The homemade BBQ sauce was definitely the highlight for me. It had a sweet and smoky flavor with a little tang that made every bite even better. Portions were generous and filling, especially for the price, and everything was packaged nicely for takeout. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that the rice became a little oily toward the bottom of the bowl, but overall it was still a really satisfying meal. Would definitely order again when I'm craving a quick and flavorful rice bowl.
