Two restaurant recommendations

P., my faithful reader of restaurant reviews, sends me two recommendations for restaurants to try.
I’ve actually been to Makiyaki, a Japanese restaurant in the Pelton Center. The small restaurant has inside dining as well as a couple of tables in the sidewalk. I remember liking it, though I’ve never gotten around to reviewing it.
P. says she likes Makiyaki better than Ozeki, because it’s cheaper and cleaner, while offering the same menu options. The Lion King roll is particularly good.
Makiyaki

San Leandro

P. also recommends Mayflower in Union City for dim sum. She says it’s brighter, cleaner and more popular than her previous recommendation, Hong Kong in Hayward. The dim sum and other Chinese food are excellent. It has two additional locations in San Francisco and Milpitas.
Mayflower

Thanks P. for your recommendations!
