“Located in San Jose California USA. Went there today on Saturday night or was very busy you can see from the pics. It took more than 20 minutes to get it order. Saw Ice cream is made in an instant using ice cream milk and Nitrogen gas. Fancy to look at. We took Smores ice cream with biscuits, herseys and marshmallow and old fashioned Vanilla ice cream. Both ice creams were very good. Everything was very good but only disappointment was were not even given a small sample for taste before order. Overall good.“

The beer was both delicious and made with unique ingredients that gave their beers a distinct edge. We didn’t eat while here but the menu had some great choices. We will definitely be back on our next visit.“

“We have been going to Kumako for 12 years and today we visit their new location. Still as flavorful as ever.“

“I will be ordering from this restaurant again. ***** :-)“

“amazing food !!! this is our new spot for pizza and wings !!!“

“I had an absolutely delightful experience at Nirvana Soul! The golden waffle was a heavenly treat - perfectly crisp on the outside, warm and fluffy on the inside. It was like a bite of pure sunshine! The cold brew was just the refreshing touch I needed. The ambiance was serene and the staff were incredibly welcoming. I can't wait to return for another taste of this culinary nirvana!“

“The food here was amazing! I had the chicken suqaar with rice and my dinner mates had the Kay Kay (if you like bananas), sambusa, chicken suqaar with chapati, and the beef suqaar. We were all very pleased with our meals. The portions were big and even our largest eater took home leftovers. We plan to go again soon and try a goat dish. The ordering process, inside the restaurant, was a little wonky at first, since we were not sure what we were supposed to do. So what you do is: You go up, look at a menu at the counter, order, pay, then someone brings the food to your table. Now after being there once the next time will not be awkward , so no big deal. Also, the drink selection was modest, just cans of soda, nectar, or bottled water. The ambiance is simple and right near the light rail so you hear the trains. We were not bothered by that. There was outdoor seating in the shade, though we sat inside. None of us used the restroom so not sure if there is one and if so if it's clean or not. The staff was very friendly and the food came out quickly, but not too quickly if you know what I mean.“

“Ujjwala makes really yummy food, it is delicious yet reminds you of home cooked food not oily and over spiced. She also has healthy options which are great. I recommend her for any party or gathering where you don’t want to cook!“

“Makes me wish I lived in San Jose. Excellent service, great products, and the Chris Combo is indeed amazing. Can't recommend this place enough.“

“Best Stromboli in the South Bay“

“great neighborhood spot! Clean, fun,upbeat sports bar! love it .“

“Delicious Vietnamese sandwich, so delicious. I like the one with cold cuts of meat and plenty of vegetables.It used to be available for only $7, but now the price has gone up. I will definitely buy it whenever I pass by here, but I have to wait patiently for the long queue for food.“

“the food presentation wonderful, everything tasted great. attentive wait staff.“

“First time at this restaurant was fantastic!The atmosphere as soon as you walk in is inviting. We had the attention of a server as soon as we walked in.After we sat, drinks were ordered promptly. Food came pretty quick, coffee never went more than half empty, all around great service!The food was fantastic! Yes, the pancake house makes great pancakes. The omelets were great as well.“

“Wow, finally an authentic caribbean restaurant in the south bay. The food is amazing, the owners are delightful, and they give you a great portion of food. On top of that, you really get an island vibe while dining in with the music and the server's authentic love for what they do. Highly recommend ?“

“Fresh homemade tortillas, quality ingredients, friendly staff, and the cinnamon chips are great with morning coffee or as a dessert after one of their breakfast burritos. Very reasonable prices and quality food.“

“Staci and I ate at The Funny Farm Restaurant and Chef Ash became our personal chef for our meal, which Chef Ash knocked it out of the park with the food! Great atmosphere with amazing food.“

“This is a restaurant with a very stylish decoration. The classical decoration makes people feel like they are back in the past era when dining. I think everyone can experience it. At the same time, the food in the restaurant is still very delicious.“

“My numerous visits to Thai Soul Kitchen in San Jose have become a cherished ritual, thanks to the gastronomic delights that remind me why I fell in love with authentic Thai cuisine. Each experience is a journey to Bangkok's bustling streets, captured within this culinary haven's walls. The Pad Kee Mao, affectionately known as 'Drunken Noodles,' remains a highlight. The dish is a complex symphony of flavors, expertly executed to offer a spicy kick that is bold without overwhelming the palate. The broad, flat noodles dance amidst a medley of fresh Thai basil, vibrant bell peppers, and succulent chicken pieces, all wok-tossed in a rich, savory sauce that clings to every noodle. The heat from the chili is perfectly tempered by the aromatic herbs and the subtle sweetness in the sauce, making it addictive in its complexity. Then there's the Northern-Style Thai Sausage, a dish encapsulating Thai Soul Kitchen’s commitment to traditional recipes. Each sausage is a revelation, filled with minced pork that's seasoned with a curated blend of lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, and a gentle heat from red curries. Grilled to perfection, the sausages boast a crispy exterior that gives way to a moist and flavorful interior. The accompanying fresh slices of cucumber and peanuts add texture and are a palate cleanser, enhancing the sausage's rich flavors with each bite. Thai Soul Kitchen is more than a restaurant; it's a testament to Thailand's rich culinary landscape, offering an escape to its soulful food streets with every dish served.“

“I always pre-order to make sure I get the goodies I love to eat! They pack everything so nicely that when I take a trip I don’t worry. Customer service is great!“

“Aw man, sometimes I have to learn the hard way, but freedom comes through peace. And oftentimes, peace comes from finding the spark, the gratitude in the simple pleasures. I was humbled once again today regarding the weaknesses of humans in the light of temporary and immediate gain. Sadly, it takes a few times of running into a wall to realize that going back to Square 1 is the best option (except you're not really starting from the beginning because you will have gained much wisdom through the challenge of saying "no" to yourself. I got to meet up with a friend after what seemed like months (it was) and got a glimpse into what it was like when being faced with different life paths to take. "Which path is the right one?" is often the question we ask at every crossroads we encounter. Thankfully, Academic Coffee provided a lovely, bright, and clean ambiance that allowed for chatting and some good coffee. I love how they have their own beans. I got their drip coffee (Rose Garden) and liked how the floral notes complimented the more chocolate notes. Service was efficient and friendly.“

“This place is one of the few really good coffee shops that isn’t just a big chain in the South Bay Area.Voyager has some really unique latte flavors that I’ve never seen anywhere else, and the one I had was really rich and flavorful. They also have some decent food options. I tried their overnight oats, as a recommendation from the barista, and enjoyed it.I was also really impressed by the MASSIVE seating area. There are tons of seats inside and out front. Seems like a really nice spot to just grab a coffee and relax. Next time I pass through, I might do just that.Parking: Street parking is free at certain times, and there is a garage nearby“

“Quiet. Low key. Great customer communication and service. Few good sized tables and chairs inside. Very tiny cafe/lunch spot. Good colorful vibes. Wide variety of foods and beverages along with desserts on the menu. Ice cream variety is excellent. I don't think there's anything I dislike from their menu. Photos look good too. You really have to be a cafe person to enjoy it. This place is truly a small happiness cafe indeed. I used to visit more often when working nearby. Prices have gone up with inflation. Not cheap for sure. Discard foods/trash into the bin/tray area and help yourself to self served iced water. Owners are passionate. Not much happens around here. Tasty Pesto Pasta comes with the sweet tiny tomatoes and toasted bread slices. It is topped with some mozzarella cheese bits and a vegan meat. Yummy. Orange vanilla ice cream texture was very soft, creamy, and smooth. Delicious. Yes, found orange vanilla flavor here. Fresh watermelon juice is fresh for sure. Not too sweet. I usually go for soup noodles and sandwich options too. Definitely review the menu options in advance. Nice people. Friendly atmosphere. This is really not bad in a popular shopping retail location spot. If you're looking for peace and tranquility, this is your break area. Enjoyed it very much. I still leave them around $5 tips each time no matter what I order. Glad they accept AMEX-American Express credit cards too. Generous food portions. Happy and free as a bird.“

“Long overdue review of our newest sushi spot. Our family has been going to the same sushi restaurant for more than a decade. That spot had a full house one night and the kiddos couldn't wait for a table. They were starving and are unforgivingly picky. Not a good combination when you're searching for a good sushi spot that can appease both choosy children and grandparents.Any exploration of a different spot had previously left us disappointed so we came to Sushi Pro with low expectations. Lo and behold, everybody was happy?! The grandparents loved it (appetizers and donburis), the kids kept asking for more (ikura, chawanmushi, and chicken karage), my equally picky husband finished everything he ordered (omakase, JT Special Hand Roll). I enjoyed everything. The fried squid appetizer and omakase are my favorite. Top it all off, the service is superb. We had A large party with 3 kids under 6 and the staff constantly checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. I liked Sushi Pro so much that I came back that week for a lunch meeting. Ms. Van, the manager remembered me and even asked how my kids were doing and whether they enjoyed the food. We came here by chance and keepcoming back because of the good food and great service provided by Van and her team.I am thrilled to have one more option and two favorite spots now.“

“Delicious burgers and refreshing smoothies!“

“The strawberry cake was delicious!“

“incredible sundubu jjigae! i ordered the option with beef and it was very tasty. I wish the spicy was more spicy than it was, but it has a generous kick to it. the bring you eggs on the side to crack into your tofu soup if you'd like. the food came out boiling and the banchan was good, especially the japchae. i can't believe tofu soup is almost $20 though. & the non-meat option is the same price as the options with meat. there was a small wait when i came on a saturday afternoon. the place was completely full (always a good sign). overall, id come back!“

“See the bagels ? all kinds of flavors for cream cheese spreads ?I want one u can eat outside bring your fur babyVegetarian options: Bagels, Onion bagels , blueberry bagels ,fruit cups Fresh fruit assortment of drinksParking: Small but doable about 8 pm lot outside parking on 11thStKid-friendliness: They can set outdoor there's table and chairs and they're visible at all times while you order most of the walls are glass so you csn see outsideWheelchair accessibility: It is easy to roll in and out one line going one way“

“The food is so delicious! I LOVE the lemon grass dish!!! The owner and staff are the nicest most pleasant people you could want to get food from!!“

“I ordinarily don't leave reviews. But I saw the one on Valentine's day. I was there that night too. I sat near the person leaving the review. I know the person. (not well). I cannot believe they left this unfair review. Every single thing about the night was great. Food...great. Atmosphere...great. Service...spot on. Some people no matter what you cannot make happy. This restaurant is probably the best one to take your loved one. We liked it so much we went again on 2/24. Because we wanted to try some other food. Yes it is expensive. But it is worth it.“

“A fast paced, comforting cafe. Pro-TIP - Sit at the counter for parties of 1 or 2 and skip the waitlist Service: Fast - almost immediate, kind Food: The food came out so fast! It was definitely appreciated. I ordered the Protein Scramble ($18.50) with avocado ($2.50) and a side of fruit and sourdough toast that comes pre buttered. Overall, it hit the spot for my Sunday breakfast, and I was able to take some home for my Sunday snack. Plus: they have healthy, protein focused options, and they have a section for half meals at discounted prices (e.g. half a serving off an eggs benedict for $13). Drinks: Extensive mimosa, michelada, and alcoholic coffee options! My friend ordered the Hazlenut Mocha with Baileys and whipped cream - deliciously dense and that little twist of a taste from the liqueur.“

“They have amazing buffet. Halal meat is their speciality. Being vegetarian, I won’t be able to justify the meat options. But Vegetarian options were amazing. They have different spice level they can prepare you food with. The place was quite and clean.“

“Naltaliya was great in every step of the way. We ordered a cake and a cupcake for the baby shower. Sent her some ideas and she created a masterpiece. When I saw the cake I was speechless. It was beautiful was beautiful and exactly what I wanted. It was also delicious. Not overly sweet, very moist, and made with love. Pretty much all the guests at the party asked me where we ordered the cake. Big big big thanks. I would highly recommend you order your next dessert from Natalia.“

“Excellent place with very good food and in a good location. There was a parking garage right in front so didn't have to walk too far. The staff and our host was extremely courteous. We were a group of 5 and we ordered the family style which came withe a 4 course meal with a choice of starters, main course and desserts. The quality and taste of the food was excellent. The quantity was huge and we ended up boxing almost half our food as it was really tasty. I would definitely recommend this place.“

“The flavors in this ice cream shop are very flavorful and unique. There are certain times of the day that the line is long but it’s worth coming here. I say that this ice cream shop stands out because of how they handcrafted ice cream. I’ve begin to wonder what ingredients they use to make ice cream like this, because I have gotta admit that they did a good job in preparing them.There are much flavors I still need to try lol“

“The food and the ambience were great! We appreciated the space - the outdoor patio was very kid friendly! The menu is also quite varied - with many options to choose from and as a bonus the meat here is all halal! (Signage everywhere) The only room for improvement would be in the service. The servers, although attentive and friendly were very slow (even though it wasn't crowded). The food took a while to come out and the order didn't all come together. So there are minor improvements they could do here to make it all run smoother. Overall - we enjoyed the delicious food and loved the ambience too!“

“有看到紅燒湯冷凍包 可以加入fantun 訂購單以方便訂購嗎？“

“Rented out the restaurant for our company’s Christmas party. Customer service and staff were fantastic and very accommodating to our changing needs. Food was delicious and the appetizers and presentation were on point. We’ll definitely be back.“

“Very good Thai food. Ordered a Green Curry w/ Seafood Meal and Tom Kha (coconut gravy soup). Prepared about 5 minutes. Savory Flavor of curry, seafood was very fresh and tasty, and fully branded the flavor during the eating, waitress gave me chilis, I pasted with noodle. That was the perfect match. Garlic fragrance and the light taste of sour. Finish all plates and definitely will be back again. The most impressive thing is : 1. Waitresses all wearing masks,totally complianced Santa Clara Public Health Code § 6409.6 2.Mussels were seen green edge-means are all green mussels.pricer than regulars taste more enhanced flavor and shrimps are 41-50 type more larger quality ingredients.“

“Always tasty. We usually get one veggie and one meat special.“
