It was extremely busy during Tuesday lunch time. We waited 30 mins for our meals. Waitress told us it's less busy on Mon & Fri. Maybe better time to visit during it's less busy.

Fabulous experience. We were treated as important guests as we were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary. Faz restaurant in Sunnyvale catered our wedding 25 years ago. Thanks, Faz for the special appetizer and dessert, and a wonderful entree. Your personal attention made for another unforgettable experience. You really out did yourselves!
