Curry Corner Takeaway

26657 Mission Blvd
Hayward, CA 94544

Ed C. writes: THANK YOU YELP!

I feel like a total a-hole for not discovering this place earlier in life. I pride myself in knowing where all the best hole in the wall places to eat around my neighborhood are. Shit on me for thinking I knew them all!

I went there…

Los Gatos, CA 95030

Roderick's BBQ & Seafood

2300 1st St
Livermore, CA 94550

Charlye W. writes: We first came here with a two-fer coupon several years back and we've come back several times since with no coupon too. Roderick's is reasonable anyway, particularly for weekday lunch, where nearly everything, including baby back ribs, is under $10.…

Asian Rose Cafe

514 Front St
Santa Cruz, CA 95060

Greycella L. writes: I always knew that this place was too good to be true. In a sea of overpriced EVERYTHING, this tucked away place was serving up mounds of tastiness. Nowhere else could you get this kind of bang for your buck- for five dollars you'd get enough food to…

Kaygetsu

325 Sharon Park Dr
Ste A2
Menlo Park, CA 94025

Irene S. writes: Kaygetsu will either be one of the most:

(a) eternally searing, long-suffering 2-4 hours of your god-forsaken life; or
(b) delightfully exquisite, palette-exhilarating adventures to which you hope there is no end.

While the odds are greatly in favor…

Chavez Supermarket

666 N Fairoaks Ave
Sunnyvale, CA 94085

Archie R. writes: This place is legit.

In fact this place is so legit that I ran into the Chupacabra here on his lunch break.

He's actually not a bad guy once you get past the whole demonic goat deal.

We're having drinks on Thursday.

Highly recommend the carnitas here.…

Sofi P. writes: So my gf surprises me & tricks me into dressing up really nice by saying we're going to a studio to take pictures, little did I know that we were going to La Foret. On the way we almost hit a deer because it was standing in our lane. My gf hit the…

Elva's Coffee Stop

2206 Lincoln Avenue
San Jose, CA 95125

ali c. writes: I came here this morning because Elva's is close to my work and I just had to try Noelle W.'s favorite Iced Snickerdoodle Drink! Doesn't it just sound good?! The guy who helped me was really nice and I feel bad that I was so tired I didn't seem to…

The Village Pub

2967 Woodside Road
Woodside, CA 94062

gwynnie p. writes: It cracks me up the way everyone looks at you when you come in the door at the Village Pub. Are you somebody?

I am nobody, but I might be meeting some somebodies. It really doesn't matter, because the staff will treat me like I'm somebody. In a quiet,…

Barefoot Coffee Roasters

5237 Stevens Creek Blvd
Santa Clara, CA 95051

van ness d. writes: I love coffee. I love the jittery "Oh-my-God-I feel-like-a-crackhead" buzz you get when you have some strong-ass coffee. When I went, I ordered the 'All-nighter' (not because I had to pull one or anything, I just like my coffee chock full o'…

San Jose, CA 95112

Tiffany T. writes: One of my favorite places in San Jose is downtown Japantown and to celebrate 2008, I wanted to incorporate the Japanese tradition of eating mochi on New Year's Day.

I read reviews on Shuei Do prior to my visit and went straight to the Bank of…

Sweet Passions Bakery

1512 Alum Rock Ave
San Jose, CA 95116

Brandon H. writes: Being single for me means the ability to do what I want, when I want, all the time...

Except for sex, of course.

But I found my replacement for it when I discovered the sultry and seductive cakes at Sweet Passions. These desserts make the hairs on my…

Los Gatos Meats & Smoke House

575 University Avenue
Los Gatos, CA 95032

Karen W. writes: My Chicken Club Sandwich was Effing delicious! Service was friendly, food was prepared fairly quickly, and the meat is sooo good. You get a choice of a large variety of breads (including wheat, sourdough, dutch crunch...) and cheeses (cheddar, swiss,…

Los Gatos, CA 95030

Connie C. writes: I met up with my friends, who I'd say are the equivalent to Brangelina - the HOTTEST couple, with the most adorable 18 mo. old hapa daughter - for Mother's Day brunch. Since my mom is in Taiwan, I wanted to treat another one of my favorite mommies…

1150 Murphy Ave
Ste A
San Jose, CA 95131

Vasili's Greek Restaurant

1501 Mission St # A
Santa Cruz, CA 95060

debbie h. writes: Let me start off by mentioning that I am going through this Med/Greek food kick. IT seems that it's all I ever crave. I dream about the next dolma I will devour. Speaking of which, does anyone know who is making all these dolmas we see in every…

Evvia Estiatorio

420 Emerson St
Palo Alto, CA 94301

Jaime L. writes: I wanted to give this place 5 stars--whenever we go out to dinner, my dining partner always asks what rating I'm going to give it, and yes he reads my reviews (HIIII!! SHOUTOUT! Please stop sucking at driving, kthxbai)

After I had so explicitly…

Lucy's Tea House

180 Castro St
Mountain View, CA 94041

Falling apart wicker furniture, books…

San Carlos, CA 94070

Christine M. writes: This. Place. Is. Good.
I ate here with a very diverse party, that included a vegetarian, a veggie-phobe carnivore, a salt-eschewing-blood-pres sure-watcher, a thirsty lush... you name it. The food is amazing, and I was very surprised to see how good…

Vive Sol Restaurant

2020 W El Camino Real
Mountain View, CA 94040

Archie R. writes: Ever notice that Mexican restaurants walk a VERY fine line with their ingredients? The line they walk is between getting a REALLY good meal or getting explosive diarrhea. Totally gross but think about it. It's one or the other. You go home with a…

Sushi Masa

5363 Camden Ave
San Jose, CA 95124

Ken K. writes: Thanks to Alice Y for this find!

22 year old restaurant Sushi Masa is in one of those typical "non descript suburban strip malls" just a few minutes off the 85 on Camden Ave. The restaurant name lettering design may be a visual turnoff especially if…

Stan's Donut Shop

2628 Homestead Rd
Santa Clara, CA 95051

Cafe Brasil

1410 Mission St
Santa Cruz, CA 95060

Melody K. writes: I wasn't very excited to visit Cafe Brasil for Sunday brunch. I thought it would probably serve overrated, strangely spiced food, and the crowds of people waiting for a table at this tiny joint made me wish we'd gone to Denny's instead. Well, I'm…

Manresa Restaurant

320 Village Ln
Los Gatos, CA 95030

Cynthia C. writes: Manresa left me disenchanted for the most part.

I posted the photos to give you a pictorial of my evening.

In-N-Out Burger

50 Ranch Dr
Milpitas, CA 95035

arnold g. writes: In-N-Outs are In-N-Outs, but this one is a little more special than most. Around the time I started dating my future wife, I was sitting outside this particular In-N-Out with some coworkers at lunch enjoying the beautiful sunny weather, when all of…

Piazza's Fine Foods

Palo Alto, CA 94303
