Bianca Torrente Hummus Republic in Stockton is a hidden gem! The food is incredibly fresh, flavorful, and fully customizable — perfect for anyone craving a healthy and satisfying Mediterranean meal. On top of the incredible food, what really made the experience stand out was the owner, Jay. He was extremely kind, welcoming, and genuinely hospitable — you can tell he cares about his customers and takes pride in the food and the atmosphere. It’s rare to find that kind of personal touch these days, and it made the visit all the more memorable. Highly recommend for anyone in the Stockton area — I’ll definitely be coming back!

Adolfo Serrato I had a lunch date with my girlfriend here and it was an amazing experience. I had the pork belly brioche sandwich, it was really good and loved the crispy skin of the pork belly, and my girlfriend had the UFO breakfast panini that was just as good. We also got the ube matcha and frozen mango lemonade that were delicious. Great atmosphere, nice staff, and delicious food, I would highly recommend this restaurant and would definitely come back.

Felmar Reyes We love this Japanese restaurant in Pacific Avenue. Good food and friendly service. Must try if you haven’t yet.

Christine schieffer Found this place by accident and glad we came in. The food is amazing! You have to order at the counter and they bring it to you. I saw tons of craft beers in cans. Not sure but I think I saw 2 taps. Parking is super limited. Has a bathroom but I didn’t use it. I had a special that was posted on the wall. Super delicious.

Elizabeth Wong Fontana Guess what two great institutions are joining forces to bring back family fun in dining? I happened to stop by The Graduate two weeks ago to start up my weekly MANIC MAH JONG MONDAYS group 6:30-8pm, and discovered that two days ago, Mike from the Victory Grill has taken over The Graduate! He plans on bringing back the place to the way is was before the fire: a full sports bar with your favorite alcohol refreshments, family pizza parties, and daily specials (I requested the BBQ Beef Spareribs on Thursdays which were one of my favorites!, and hopefully on Tuesdays or Wednesdays, maybe we could have a Prime Rib special!…just wishful thinking). The bar will be in service by Thanksgiving. Yes, Victory Grill & my Pacific Pedicabs go way back 2013 when Mike grilled the biggest hamburger in Stockton. Come on in & tell Mike that you’re happy to have the ‘real’ Graduate back! And join me in learning to play Mah Jong (it’s easy like Poker & Gin Rummy) on our Manic MAH JONG Mondays 6:30-8pm.

Teddy Southern Elk and bison, surf and turf skewers, Mezcal cocktails. Say less, the aesthetics of this place is on point, excellent service, and the food was on point. Grateful for a special large gathering or date night definitely upscale, which is nice.

sky hensel Great food and service. Wednesday enchilada special was tasty and affordable.

Alex Postlewait Had an amazing lunch buffet. The fish tikka, paneer tikka masala, and chicken tandoori were excellent. Also many vegetarian options available in the lunch buffet. Staff were very friendly! Would definitely return.

Luis Santos Only place in downtown stockton that doesn’t feel like downtown stockton. Atmosphere is great, staff are friendly. Love the coffee, pastries and other food.

Mary Very glad to see that Stockton is having more variety in their food options. Was in the area and happen to spot this new little spot. They had a menu out in front but they have a separate larger menu inside. Decided to give them a try and surely glad I did. Had the spicy chick hot sandwich and their sugar free cola. The chicken cutlet was done well and the flavors mixed well with one another. It could have been a bit spicier, but overall still good! The Italian cola was highly carbonated so if that’s not for you, then I don’t recommend but if it is, it is a must try. Very friendly environment and clean. Prices weren’t too bad as well for a satisfying meal.

Fancy Face The starters and entrees were delicious. The server was friendly and gave good service. The atmosphere was quiet during happy hour, which meant I could have conversation with my friend. I had the salmon with clam chowder and mashed potatoes. Ill be back for the penne pasta next time.

Anthony Linnerman Love this place. Im not a Cali roll guy typically but this place has a bomb cali roll. My go to is a Cali roll, a salmon skin or unagi hand roll, and a miso soup. Thats 16$. Their other rolls are delicious too but like all sushi can burn a hole in the pocket but still good prices and great taste. My other favorite part is you can text it in and pay with venmo.
