Maya Z. • July 21, 2013The best humus in the Bay Area . Worth the wait or better - take away to eat in the park near by.

Irina B. • September 4, 2018If you're looking for an event location with an outdoor setting in Palo Alto, this is the place.

Farah J. • September 4, 2018Everything is great about this place. Pastries, coffee, food, staff, and service.

Lior G. • August 18, 2014Best coffee in Palo Alto. Hands down.

Douglas G. • November 25, 2014The only real taqueria in downtown Palo Alto. Lines are long, but they move quick. Cash only.

Paul M. • August 13, 2016Authentic Japanese "teishoku" style (a main + a few traditional sides.) The katsudon and BBQ unagi were amazing. Drink-wise, try out the Sake flight to find your favorite!

v f. • April 1, 2010I love Joya!! Probably the best Latin American restaurant that blends the different types of foods in Mexico, Central America, South America & Spain. I highly recommend the ceviche, gambas & sangria!

Spencer S. • August 15, 2011Quite good lemonade (free refills!!) and I always order the California Crepe (savory). The Stanford desert crepe is great too.

Caroline D. • June 27, 2015This place has a great lunch buffet! One of the best Indian food places in Palo Alto!

Elynn L. • November 8, 2015Yummy milk tea! I love the regular bubble tea. I get it 70% sweet with tapioca pearls. Milk foam is also pretty popular. Tea is creamy & delicious. Go a lot when I'm in Asia - happy they're in CA!

Varun • October 18, 2021Great cocktails. Try the Khub Balo

Joerg • June 3, 2016Try the mixed plate with 12 different Nigiris!

Michelle S. • July 22, 2016Dry sautéed shredded beef and Hunan smoked pork

Elynn L. • January 29, 2018Came here late during the soft opening and enjoyed the meal. Large portions, friendly people, and tasty food. Really liked the salt and pepper chicken; crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.

Brett B. • October 21, 2018Great people, coffee, food. A great place to stop into before getting on Caltrain!

Allie • October 14, 2011Much bigger than it looks from the street! Check out the huge back patio... duh!

Jaren G. • December 7, 2016Fresh food and stellar lemonade. Can spend $20 for a meal but want feel sluggish. Can try out as many lemonades you want ...

Simon Z. • November 2, 2014Just tried the caramel milk tea 80% and it's surprising how well caramel and milk tea go together

Gilbert L. • October 17, 2010Try what is not on the menu such as Ocean Trout, Aji, Blue Fin toro, Yellow tail toro, Aoyagi, Shima aji and Hirame. Note the wasabi is freshly grated and the Ginger is fresh and not the jar variety.

Nari K. • March 17, 2010Try Latte & Almond Croissant. Preferably in the morning with your best friend. My favorite thing to do when I come to Berkeley.
