I feel like the blackened miso cod that I had for dinner would have cost a lot more if I’d had it almost anywhere else. It was great. Quite a healthy portion, well plated with delicious, well cooked vegetables and mushrooms. The owner is a one person show here. It’s admirable that he can pull it off.. and he definitely does. Wheelchair accessibility: easy and good wheelchair access

We tried the 8-hour bolognese, the local black cod, and the citrus burrata. They were absolutely perfect, no seasoning was needed. Everything was locally fresh, impressive, and yet so familiar; great setting for perfect comfort food in a family-owned restaurant. We regret we didn’t try their signature Dungeness crab pasta and that will be something for another visit. This experience was an excellent surprise on our work trip.

So good! Henry is the best!

Update Fall 2023: Chef Henry does it again! We stopped by for dinner a couple nights ago and were blown away by the delicious burger and crispy fries. We’ll definitely be back again soon. Pro tip: try the blackcurrant lemonade for added yumminess! From Fall 2022: This cozy kitchen caught our eye walking down Laurel at lunch time and we decided to stop in. The owner, Henry, greeted us and took our order. We had the fall salad and the pizza margherita and were not disappointed! The pizza was by far the best we've had in San Carlos and we agreed throughout California. It's done Neapolitan-style with hunks of mozzarella, tangy tomato sauce, and charred basil on a doughy delicious crust. The portion was perfect for us to split, but we've already started planning our next visit. We left full, happy, and thrilled to have discovered a local gem that is family owned and operated.

First time eating at Number5Kitchen for lunch. My wife and I decided to try it since we had met Henry over the weekend at the Farmer's Market. We like the concept of farm to table dining using fresh local ingredients. We ordered: Organic Spring Mix, Fried Chicken Wings, 8-Hour Bolognese and Dungeness Crab tagliatelle. The organic spring mix salad was very fresh tasting and the granola topping complemented the salad. Chicken wings were very tasty. Nice crispy skin. The 8-Hour Bolognese was excellent. From the fresh tasting pappardelle pasta to the bolognese. Same for the Dungeness Crab tagliatelle. Fresh noodles, crab and sauce have a lot of flavor and taste great! Service was very good. Henry the owner was our chef and service staff. Timing of food was good and he came back to check on us regularly. Ambiance is casual. A nice simple setting feels relaxing and enjoyable. We will be back for dinner soon to drink wine with the excellent food.

Number5 is a great local restaurant. Excellent food, made with care from high-quality ingredients. Even our kids (11 and 13) loved it!

Came here for lunch with a friend and we split a pizza and pasta. Food was good, the service was good and the atmosphere is perfect for smaller parties. There is definitely an artisan vibe to the food and decor. Love it and will be back.

Good service but food was just ok
