"I visited a pho restaurant on a Sunday afternoon and found it to be 85% full, which was a good sign that people liked this place.To start off, I ordered a cafe sua dua, which I thought would be served in one of those drip coffee tools that you see at other Vietnamese restaurants, but instead it was served in a plastic boba cup. However, I was pleasantly surprised by how it tasted. It was smooth, but a little too sweet.Next, I ordered the dac biet, which is the chef's special, and went for the large portion. The large was definitely too much for me to eat . But the pho itself was delicious. It was served with a ton of green onions, which gave it a nice freshness, and there was also a good amount of beef, more than what I'm used to at other Vietnamese restaurants. The noodles were also fresh and not clumped together.The meal cost me around $30 for a drink and a large pho, so it wasn't the cheapest option out there.Overall, I enjoyed this pho restaurant. I appreciated the portions of meat and fresh noodles. If you don't mind paying a bit more, I would definitely recommend giving this place a try."

"Reina's was pretty alright! I definitely want to return to try the BBQ mix, but i'm rarely in the East. That said, I saw Reina's on the way to the library and told myself I'd return for pupusas when I was done. Parking is trash lol. I ended up parking in the red outside of the restaurant and placed my order over the phone. I initially wanted just four pupusas two queso, two queso y loroco but three for $11 isn't a bad deal at all, so I ended up getting 6 for $22. I also ordered two plates of plantains, crema, beans and rice. Overall it was a delicious meal. I didn't eat the crema with the plantains because it's just not my thing, but the pupusas were everything I wanted everything I expected. Quesillo is so delicious. Though they're not the same I often compare pupusas to quesadillas when explaining what a pupusa is to someone who has never had it, but I always state that I strongly prefer pupusas because they're thicker and I like the cheese (quesillo) much better."

"Was running an errand and was craving some Dim sum. Could not remember the place we use to go in San Leandro so found this place on Yelp.Got the lunch special which came with soup. Pork with chili peppers over rice and Shanghai pork Xiao king bao dumplings, and meal came with tea.The soup was delicious, I asked and it was a vegetable soup, mostly cabbage in an earthy pork broth that was light and full of flavor. The pork pieces specially bigger ones where a little dry but most of them came with a thick belly fat that melted in your mouth and was actually quite good. The red chili sauce was the best part of the dish and went well with the perfectly cooked Bok Choi. The dumplings exploded in your mouth with a tangy, flavorful and very generous amount of broth. Pork inside was tender and had lots of spice. The tea was just right and I really enjoyed my lunch. They did not have shu mei which is what I really wanted along with dumplings but this was a enjoyable and service was good. I was worried because it was lunch time and there was not anyone here but several people showed up after I started eating and all local so that confirmed my experience. No frills decir bit some cookout old pictures of what I presume is Shanghai in the walls."

"Paridiso restaurant is a top-notch dining experience that embraces casual attire. Situated in the quaint community of San Leandro, it is conveniently close to the Oakland border. As a local resident, I frequently dine there and have never been disappointed. Each meal has been exceptional, and the atmosphere is always inviting. Guests I bring with me also rave about the food and ambiance, and the manager Kathryn is a wonderful host."
