Amarin Thai Cuisine |
Thai |
Great Thai food! They'll adjust the spiciness of their dishes to whatever you want/dare, too. |

Amber |
Indian |
Absolutely one of the best Indian restaurants we've visited - go there! |
| Amici's East Coast Pizzeria 790 Castro Street Mountain View, CA 94041 650-961-6666 http://www.amicis.com |
Italian | Sure, it's a chain. But the pizza's wonderful (if you're a thin crust person)! |
| Arikato 1040 A-1 Rengstorff Ave. Mountain View, CA 94043 650-988-8686 |
Japanese | The food here is great! |
|
Best Bite Grill and Falafel |
Persian |
Here's a tiny restaurant with wonderful food and great staff! We've been there more than a few times for a nice Persian dinner. |
| Chapala Bailey Park Plaza 570 Shoreline Blvd. Mountain View, CA 94043 650-965-8019 |
Mexican | Yum! Oh, and they have Yucateco habanero hot sauce if you like to toast your tongue... |
|
China Cafe |
Chinese |
Great place! Try it! Now! |
|
Food Street |
Chinese |
Down-home Chinese cooking. You know - roasted pork, roast duck, and some more adventurous dishes at a low price. Over the years, it's gone from being a start-up hole-in-the-wall place to more of a family restaurant. |
| Hong Kong Bakery 210 Castro Street Mountain View, CA 94041 650-969-3153 |
Chinese | Tasty snacks and other food! |
| Hunan Chili 102 Castro St. Mountain View, CA 94041 650-969-8968 Fax: 650-959-0165 |
Chinese | By far, the hottest and sourest hot and sour soup I've ever had (it was wonderful... I just had to go a bit more slowly), and the other dishes also were great! |
|
Kirin Chinese Restaurant |
Chinese |
Chinese food, family restaurant more in the Cantonese tradition than the Szechuan/Hunan style. Bonus for the kids is the fish tank... |
| La Costeña 2078 Old Middlefield Road Mountain View, CA 94043 650-967-0507 Fax: 650-967-0531 |
Mexican | La Costeña appears to be more of a market-with-burrito bar, based on allocations of floor space. But people go there for the huge burritos - for just a few dollars you can get one that will either bust your gut or provide you two reasonable meals. They've been voted the Best Burrito in Mountain View for years, so check them out when you get a chance! |
|
Le Petit Bistro |
French |
Here's a remarkable restaurant: Casual French dining (where else can you find this in the area?) They love having children there too - be prepared for some delightful Gallic cuisine! |
|
Manila Grill |
Filipino |
I think this is the only Filipino restaurant in the downtown Mountain View area. They're friendly and good! |
| Maru Ichi Noodle House 368 Castro St. Mountain View, CA 94041 650-564-9931 |
Japanese | The Japanese community (as well as the rest of the community!) likes this place for its great ramen and udon, and for the great prices that go along with them. |
| New Ma's Restaurant 1477 Plymouth Street Mountain View, CA 94043 650-960-0268 Fax: 650-960-0977 |
Chinese | Food's okay, prices are good... and it's right next to the Shoreline movie theater complex. Go here with a friend before or after a show! |
|
Paradise Restaurant |
Persian/Afghan |
We've been going here for years. It's a great place to get some good food. |
|
Ristorante Don Giovanni |
Italian |
A pretty place with great Italian food. Be prepared to enjoy yourself! |
| Saravana Bhavan 600 W. El Camino Real Mountain View, CA 94040 650-625-0460 Fax: 650-625-0965 http://www.saravanabhavan.com hsb@vsnl.com |
Indian Vegetarian | This is a nice little place with some wonderful food. We went here for my birthday and enjoyed ourselves a lot. It's a good idea to get there early because the restaurant is full of patrons by the first half hour or so! |
| Shanghai Palace 108 N. Rengstorff Mountain View, CA 94043 650-967-7334 |
Chinese | Chinese food in a largely Hispanic neighborhood? Sure, why not? and it was pretty good, too. |
| Shiva's 800 California St. @ Castro Mountain View, CA 94041 650-960-3802 Fax: 650-960-3182 |
Indian | Great food, great service! |

Sono Sushi |
Japanese / Sushi |
Here's one of the sushi-boat restaurants where atmosphere makes everything work beautifully (on top of the excellent food at good prices). Try it! |
|
Star Rockets |
Fifties - Burgers 'n' Fries! |
Here's a fun 50's-style place. Sit at the bar or at one of the tables! The people that work there will take good care of you, including wonderful conversation. |

Sue's Indian Cuisine |

Yum! |
| Taj Mahal 185 Castro Street Mountain View, CA 94041 650-968-8008 |
Indian | Taj Mahal is a personable, friendly place. My friend and I enjoyed our thali dinners, and found that the staff was very, very attentive. |
|
Thai-Rific |
Thai |
Tried this place on Father's Day, and it was pretty good food with incredibly fast service. We're hoping, however, that they have mee krob on the menu soon! |
|
Vaso Azzurro |
Northern Italian/French |
We really enjoyed dining here. The staff took excellent care of us. The server was right: Don't fill up on the bread, as wonderful as it might happen to be - you'll want to enjoy your entrée while it's hot. This also is one of the few establishments we've seen with their own Web site - check ou the menu there! |
| Yama Sushi 1350 Grant Road Mountain View, CA 94040 650-964-8535 |
Japanese | Yama is a place not to be missed, providing an intimate, gentle setting with excellent food. It's on the Phyllis Avenue side of the Grant Road shopping center (at the end of the corridor to the left of Nob Hill Foods). |
