"The Bowl I ordered was delicious! The mixed greens were nice n crunchy, chow mein was soft and a nice combination with the orange chicken which, we all know the orange chicken.
And the Hot & Sour Soup nice and hot! "
"The Japanese noodles that I believe was supposed to be my Chinese chow mein, weren't even cooked. They were still crunchy! I paid extra to get shrimp and walnuts or cashews. I got exactly 3 shrimp. My entire plate was filled with uncooked Japanese Ramen and fried rice. Quite disappointing, however, my wife had the best comment of the night.......... you get what you pay for!
The fast food quality of this restaurant will most likely be next off of our ordering list. Extremely low quality, proportions, and horrible online service. We were limited to only one package of sauce per order. "FAIL!""

"The subtleness of the waffle makes the Chicken & Waffles Sandwich super solid alongside my White Chocolate Mocha perfect amount of sweetness. "
"It is so hard to find a good vegan brownie, typically they are so dry but this one is amazinggggg. It's a good portion size, I actually expected smaller so I'm more than happy to eat this masterpiece. The Everything Plant-Based Sandwich is so good, the cheese is melted very well and the egg is fluffy and actually reminiscent of eggs (I developed an allergy later in life so I miss eggs sometimes) so this is a big hit for me. The coffee is so FRESH! I'm sorry to get excited but for the past couple of try's at coffee from shops I have gotten such old, burnt coffee and to have an actual amazing cup I'm sooo happy and will be ordering again in the future!"

"The delivered food (chicken fried steak dinner w/salad, and beef pho w/fixings) tastes just as delicious as if we were sitting there getting it at the table while chatting with the fun servers we have seen over the years. Eating some of our favorites in the comfort of our home is the bonus! This was a repeat delivery (other time: Humdinger burger and fish n chips). Yum!! Always so good, hot, and with all the extras including utensils. We're locals. Our orders are consistently good, delivered on time or early and good price points. Thanks as always, SCD! Til next time!"
"The noodles themselves are thicker than I usually get in pho but add a unique texture to the ensemble. And I would've liked twice the meat. The broth is savory and has good flavor.
The Vietnamese Pho noodle soup is overall tasty and a good sized portion for the price."

"I never write reviews but I have to share this. First, I'll say that the clam chowder was pretty good. I also ordered three different sandwiches. Each one was dry due to lack of condiments (which I did order) but the bread was SO incredibly dry that the roof of my mouth is raw. Overall the flavor of each was unimpressionable. Definitely not worth the price tag!!"

"We were from out of town and thought we give this restaurant a try since it had high ratings. We were extremely disappointed in the 19C. Spicy Duck Salad , 18. Beef Salad (Yum Nuea) , 33. Phad Thai Noodle and the steamed rice. The Duck Salad had like maybe 6 pieces of thinly sliced Duck breast and the beef was the same. Both dishes sat on a huge pile of cabbages and shredded carrots. The flavors were not good either. The steamed rice was hard and tasted undercooked. The 43. Spicy Green Curry was good but had only 4 shrimps in it. With the amount of the dish, I figured I at least get 6-8 shrimps but nope. Do not recommend this restaurant!"

"Overall the quality was fine but just not that great when there are so many other better Taqueria's in Santa Cruz. Most of the meat was fairly bland, the proportions of toppings to tortilla were just wrong, and it just left a lot to be desired. The Carnita's was probably the best of the ones we got, but it was overshadowed but the insane amount of cheese melted betweeen the 2 corn torillas (what is this Taco Bell?) and the plethora of cabbage. The highlight of the meal was the chips and the salsas. Both were very good and probably would have been happier with just that. I would give it a 3 out of 5 stars. Not neccisarily bad but very lack luster and dissapointing."

"This spot has single handedly gotten me through my last couple quarters of school. My go tos are Taco Tripa, Taco Asada, and Papi Chulo. The asada is always well-seasoned, the tripa is cooked just right, and the Papi Chulo is easily one of my favorite menu items...
I’m graduating in a couple of weeks, and one of the things I’ll genuinely miss is being able to order these delicious and affordable tacos after a long day of classes/studies. This place has been a small but meaningful part of my college experience, and I’ll always associate it with some of my favorite memories from school.
If you’re looking for great tacos and consistently delicious food, I can’t recommend this spot enough. Thank you for helping get me through college one taco at a time! 🌮❤️"

"This is lowkey one of the best spots in Santa Cruz! Cheap but really good food. Good kitchen! "
"The "mashed potatoes and gravy" were both practically liquid. Besides that they were very salty. The fish was hardly seasoned. And the zucchini was thinly sliced and burnt. Everything arrived cold, but I'm not sure whose fault that is. I only ordered here because most restaurants are closed late at night today. I won't make the mistake of ordering from Denny's again. "

"GLUTEN FREE! Ordered sweet, chicken with red sauce, and pork. Arrived warm still Pork tamales hands down the best of the three but other two are good too. As others have stated, these tamales are decent sized, maybe double what you'd find in SF mission district. Even still, I easily put down three in one sitting. Lol the right pork to tamal ratio. They offer Tapatio. I'll definitely order again next time I'm back in Santa Cruz. "
"This is the pork red chile , the filling has good flavor the masa is soft . Good size large tamales ,well filled My masa was a little under cooked , not a game changer but it does make the flavor of the masa a bit bitter . We were RV'ing it out it in the microwave and problem solved. Would buy again ."

The sandwich did not slack on meat portions, and it had a very hearty amount of butter. personally, I'm not a fan of the tiny pickles. overall, it was quite tasty. portions were large enough that half a sandwich was enough for lunch."

"Bento box items were delicious. Salad was fresh and a generous portion. The dressing is tasty and should be bottled and sold, in my opinion. Rice was cooked well. The tempura shrimp was crispy and the teriyaki chicken was cooked to perfection."
"We go to Akira all the time and I was stoked to see they’re finally on DoorDash! I ordered two lunch bentos. They were packed nicely and were huge portions. I noticed you couldn’t make any modifications online and needed to call them directly. When I spoke to the server about my allergy, they took it very seriously and made sure there weren’t any cucumbers in my order. Highly recommend! "

The food is fresh and tasty! Maybe not if you order food that needs to be warm to be enjoyed. How can you go wrong with a dragon roll. Yummm"
"Wonderful rolls but they were all packed in a single small container so ginger flavor was on everything and the nori became soggy so each bite fell apart. Definitely will order again though!

"Nigiri so good and a massive piece of fish on top, much appreciated. The other rolls were good quality and tasty, but the salmon special was too simple to be a $20 roll IMO. And there is a roll similar to the mango mania but without the cream cheese, and I liked the other one without the cream cheese better"
