Surprisingly really good pizza.  Who knew healthy and pizza could coexist.  It's not the best pizza I've had, but it's some of the best.  Come here if you're a fan of gourmet, thin-style, crispy crust pizza.  Extra points for the quality ingredients, generous portions, and good service.  Can't wait to try some of the other specialty pizzas on the menu!

Crazy to think that this place has been around for over 50 years.  We came here for a b-day party and were seated in one of the banquet halls.  Dinner was served banquet-style.  The food was fairly average, but I will give kudos for the prime rib which was the highlight for me so much so that I had to have seconds.  Dessert was a simple yet fresh tasting cheesecake.  Contrary to some of the other reviews, service was good.  Parking was a tad limited at front but the lot out back was large.  Hopefully, I'll be ambitious enough to try something else other than the prime rib the next time around.

The food's actually pretty good.  However, this restaurant serves some of the most authentic HK cuisine I have ever had.  If you have a friend who can help translate the extensive menu, kudos!  Otherwise, stick to the safe bets, i.e. fried rice, chow mein, etc.  Also, the fried calamari and prawns are excellent appetizers.  This place is very popular so be prepared to wait during peak times.  Prices are very reasonable but the service is a tad slow.  We'll definitely be back.

Nice driving range right off the I580 freeway.  Bucket prices are very reasonable and you can typically find a stall fairly easily.  They have equal number of grass and mat stalls and they don't charge extra for hitting off grass.  The range is located nearby Livermore airport so be warned that some of the low flying planes can be a distraction.  The facility also has a putting and chipping green.  In all, not a bad place to hit up if all you want to do is take a few golf swings.

I was a bit skeptical about trying this place.  How good can a $20 massage be with your full attire on.  Well, needless to say, I have been converted.  This is really a great value compared to the $100+ massage you get at an upscale spa.  Granted, you don't have the privacy of your own room.  But if all you really want is an hour long massage therapy session, hit this place up and treat yourself at the mall afterwards with the extra bucks you saved!

What a great find find in a sea of strip malls littering De Anza boulevard.  When it comes down to it, the key to a great sushi restaurant is fresh sushi and sashimi - and Sushi Kuni hits this on the spot.  We opted for the dinner combination which included regular tuna and seared tuna sashimi pieces which were quite yummy.  The spicy tuna rolls were all great.  The selection of sushi rolls is limited, so keep that in mind if that's your thing.  Also, the service was great and pricing is reasonable.  Thanks Yelp for the great find!

So we just finished dinner and were looking for a good place nearby to grab dessert.  Thanks to Yelp mobile, we found B+S cafe just across the street.  The place is really nice -- the decor is sleek and modern and there are plenty of areas to lounge about.  The menu selection is somewhat limited, but sometimes that's a good thing.  Customer service was great, and we were able to try a few flavors before we selected the breakfast surprise and harvey's milk for our 2 scoops of ice cream.  Pricing is a bit on the higher side, but still reasonable.  Thanks again Yelp!

Cheap eats here!!! The burgers are good, pricing is cheap, and service is quick.  Don't get me wrong, I've had better tasting burgers elsewhere.  But for the price, this sure beats McDonald's just a few blocks down the street.  Unfortunately, I have to limit them to 4 stars for a few reasons: (1) only outdoor seating available; (2) limited hours of operation (they close daily at 6pm); and (3) they serve steak fries (not bad, but I prefer shoe string).  With that said, this place stil is great and joins the 'rotation'.

I really dug this place.  We came here for a work event and the place really exceeded my expectations.  The location is perfect in downtown San Mateo and the decor and atmosphere was nostalgic and classy, yet lively.  Of the appetizer selection, the filet mignon potstickers and crab cake balls were my favorites.  I had the filet mignon for my main entree as well, and it was buttery good!  I wrapped up dessert with the chocolate bomb, which was over-the-top good.  Of course, the icing on the cake was the open bar all night!

Sala Thai Restaurant

A pretty decent thai restaurant in an otherwise quiet strip mall.  The food is flavorful, authentic, and delicious.  Our favorites are the pad thai and red chicken curry.  Portions are about average and pricing is reasonable.  Try to come early as this place can get busy, specially for dinner on the weekends.
