Top 5 Delis in San Mateo County

225 Cabrillo Highway South at, Kelly Ave, Half Moon Bay, CA 94019, United States

“We went there for my birthday lunch based on a recommendation. Drove up beautiful Highway 1. The place was easy to find. It is in an old train cart. It is small with few spots inside and a lot of outdoor tables. We ordered everything on the menu (limited menu). The food came out fast! It was all fresh tasting and amazing. We split the sandwiches, and they were both good, and we shared the rest of it. It was so good; we took the leftovers home. I will stop there again.”

“Update 2023: intense pleasure I experienced here made me suspect that maybe drugs were in my food lol How can it be so delicious from just food? Wifey laughed, but I'm seriously not sure because of how tasty it was - like a kind of foodgasm that I've never experienced in my life despite travelling in South East Asia for months and eating some seriously delicious food there. But then this? In San Mateo? Best food in the world 🌎. No kidding. Pho Beef ball soup 🍲 and 5 spice vermicelli chicken 🍗 were amazing!”

“Little Lucca has superb sandwiches! The tri-tip was great (forgot to photograph it) and the pastrami was good as well. The bread was fresh, the meat tasty and tender. The toppings/vegetables all tasted fresh and refreshing as well. I've only ever ordered online, but the sandwiches are always ready on time. The staff is great too, excellent customer service. Oh, the sandwiches are massive. Just the right size for me though!”

“My family frequents this restaurant because of their chicharon bulaklak!! It was the girst thing ordered before we sat down and another order before we left!! So good!! Service is patient and respectful and kind. The food is always amazing. …”

2928 Middlefield Rd, Redwood City, CA 94063, United States

“A cute lil taqueria with minimal seating but with very distinctive and easily recognized exterior. The worker was on feet, courteous and joyful. It's always a good sight to hear a kitchen full of cheerful coworkers at a restaurant 💞💞💞 I got the Torta Cubana and I have to say half of one is so filling (and I have a big appetite). I would say "inflation where?" after one bite because every bite was so decadently filled with well seasoned sausages, meat, peppers and onions. The hibiscus agua de fresca is amazing too! Overall, would come back!”

“Yumi Yogurt is a Peninsula staple. I’ve been coming to this place since my teen years. They have a good variety of flavours and also inclusive for those with sugar restrictions”

“As a Vietnamese, I usually do not have high expectations for Viet food in the US in general. However, this one is better than expected. Pho is good with southern Vietnamese taste. The other dishes such as Bun Cha are quite decent too. I would recommend this place for people who want to try authentic Viet food in the US.”

1143 San Carlos Ave, San Carlos, CA 94070, United States

“First time dining at this location. The ambiance is pretty nice. A modern touch for sure. Limited drinks menu. The general Tso cauliflower was good. The jafrani kofta was ok. The kofta were dry , the gravy was creamy and nice. Dal makani was good. Dum biryani was ok too . The cheese naan was good but not great . Roomali roti was dry and wouldn’t recommend. The bread selection in general was not great. Have had better and fresher tasting breads at other Indian restaurants for sure. The service was prompt. The reason for 3/5 is mostly food given the price and average tasting food. We celebrated my brothers birthday and they gave us complimentary gulab Jamun with a candle . That was a nice gesture.”

359 Grand Ave, South San Francisco, CA 94080, United States

“This is a family tradition dim sum place for every weekend brunch. The staffs even recognize their usual customers faces and their orders. We love everyone is so friendly here and the food is always good that worth your money. They have more seats upstairs too so even you are in a long line, you will be seated within 30 mins most of the time.”

6860 Mission St, Daly City, CA 94014, United States

“I've been to Tselogs more than once, my experience has been great. Tselogs has enough business but isn't too crowded. The food and portions are great, the service is nice as well. Will I return? Of course! So you should head over and give it a shot. I always get the Noksilog (chicken) because it's really good at a great price.”

118 Old County Rd, Brisbane, CA 94005, United States

“Delicious sushi, served fast with exceptional service. I might have found my new favorite sushi place in the area. It's fairly good value too. The rock and roll (eel roll) was very good even though that was the lowest cost item we ordered.”

100 S B St, San Mateo, CA 94401, United States

“We came specifically for the owner’s son. Funny experience. When we were waiting for the new Malatang store, we met a friendly and nice little boy in front of the restaurant. We played the throwing bean bag games together and he was humorous. We first thought he was also a customer waiting like us, but after some chitchat, he introduced he’s from Old Town Sushi restaurant, and recommended us. So, a few days after, here we are. The store is well decorated and spacious. The staff are very friendly and quick. We ordered some dishes and it was served shortly after. Too bad that the fresh oysters have run out. The sashimi and sushi are good and fresh. The frilled squid is very delicious. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because of the udon. It wasn’t like the typical udon that I know. Depends on what you order but an udon dish usually consists of seaweed, chopped scallions, tempura fritters, a type of meat you choose and udon noodles. The broth contains dashi, soy sauce and mirin. I was kind of disappointed when there’s cabbage and carrots in the soup, and the broth tasted differently. They even leave the shrimp tempura in the soup, which made it less crispy. Less delicious.”

1776 El Camino Real, San Bruno, CA 94066, United States

“Mid East Market is a good place to eat as it's different from other restaurants. You get to see and treat your family and friends how Eastern people have their meal. Good place to eat and I like it.”

213 2nd Ave, San Mateo, CA 94401, United States

“This is def a place ive been wanting to try for so long! We arrived on a weekend a but earlier and there was no line. The food and service were terrific and I loved everything I ordered. The seating is very comfortable it’s a very nice vibe, playing lots of kpop lol”

“Everything about my lunch here was amazing; the ambiance, service, and extensive menu options. The complimentary bread with dipping oil was so good! The falafel wrap and gyro platter exceeded my expectations! Will definitely be a regular here, can’t wait to try more of the menu.”

202 Grand Ave, South San Francisco, CA 94080, United States

“Exceptionally good food. Outstanding service too. If you are near this restaurant you MUST treat yourself here and leave room for dessert you won't regret it.”

“Grew up in San Diego so I’m used to great Mexican food. This was one of those two places in the Bay Area that did not disappoint. Very generous tacos. I had a whole filet in my taco! And the shrimp taco had great grilled flavor. Had a ceviche that was nice and fresh, again a very generous amount of fish. See these photos! Both tacos were made “super” style. A very relaxed atmosphere.”

884 Portola Rd, Portola Valley, CA 94028, United States

“An excellent restaurant near the Woodside area with some outdoor seating arrangements under the redwoods. It is better to make a reservation as I did not see an empty table until about 8:15 pm. The food was delicious and sufficient, but the service was a little bit slow. But we thoroughly enjoyed the evening under the tall trees.”
