“Simply amazing food and incredibly awesome staff ❤️👍 My addiction to ho here and eat ❤️❤️❤️ I just wish there was a Dish Dash in South San Francisco or close by 😕🙏”
“Mala Town is a fantastic spot! The food is consistently delicious, offering an authentic and flavorful experience. Coupled with truly good service, it makes for a wonderful dining experience every time”
“I really missed Outback as it’ has closed down in Singapore. Found this outlet while shopping in the Great Malls. Just to have the special bread and butter was good enough for me. The experience was nostalgic and the bread and butter were perfect. Had a light meal of chowder, burger and Mac and cheese. All food was ok but underwhelming except for the bread and butter, which was exceptional.”
“I absolutely love this Yunnan restaurant!
It’s a total gem, especially for someone like me who loves bold and flavorful dishes. I saw they had some new items on the menu recently, so of course I had to come try them right away!
The food was just as amazing as always — full of aroma, depth, and that unique Yunnan spice kick. The Guizhou Stinky Shrimp Sour Stir-Fried Beef was incredibly flavorful — tangy, spicy, and packed with umami. It’s the kind of dish that keeps you reaching for another bite even when your mouth is on fire
And the Dai-Style Beef Offal Bone Broth Mushroom Hotpot was pure comfort in a pot. The broth was rich and milky, full of mushroom and beef flavor, and the combination of textures from the offal, beef, and wild mushrooms was just perfect.
Every visit here reminds me why this place is one of my absolute favorites. Highly recommend for anyone who loves authentic Yunnan and Guizhou flavors — intense, aromatic, and unforgettable!”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“The food is fresh, flavorful, and comes with a great variety in the thali. Portions are generous, service is friendly, and it really feels like a true taste of India. Definitely worth a visit!”
“Really glad we found this place! The slow-roasted lamb shank was amazing — super tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The lamb noodles tasted homemade by my grandma lol.
The restaurant is new and has a great vibe — clean, bright, and welcoming. Definitely one of the best new spots in town for Xinjiang (Uyghur) food. We’ll be coming back for sure!”
“The sushi here is seriously good - fresh ingredients, creative rolls you won’t find anywhere else. The Fuji Roll? Absolutely delicious. Prices are reasonable, and the staff is friendly, even if the vibe inside feels a bit cramped and could use a deeper clean. It’s a small spot, so I’d recommend takeout or delivery over dining in. For the quality of food though, it’s worth it.”

“Pho & Bun is hands down one of the best spots for Vietnamese comfort food in San Jose. I've been here a few times now, and it never disappoints. The pho broth is rich and aromatic you can tell it's been simmered for hours. I usually go for the rare steak and brisket combo, and it's always served hot, fresh, and packed with flavor.
Their bun dishes are also a standout! The grilled pork is tender and perfectly seasoned, and the veggies are crisp and fresh. Portions are generous, and everything is plated beautifully.
The service is consistently friendly and quick, and the space is clean and welcoming great for both solo meals or a casual lunch with friends. Prices are reasonable for the quality, and they never skimp on ingredients.
Definitely my go-to spot for a hearty bowl of pho. Highly recommend if you're craving something warm and delicious in the South Bay!”
“I recently tried Sugar MaMa had a great experience!
The flavors are creative and change seasonally and everything tastes fresh and homemade. You can really tell they care about quality ingredients.
The staff was so kind and patient while we tasted a few flavors.”

“Always Been Our Go-To For Any Occassion. Everything Is Great But Their Oyster Shot Is The Best”

“I have lived in Milpitas for 3 1/2 years now, and only recently 'discovered' this hidden gem right at the end of the street I live on!!! Their menu is varied enough to have a great selection, but not so much that it's overwhelming. The minute you enter their diner, you're greeted with a warm Good Morning or Good Afternoon! The staff is very attentive and friendly; we felt like members of the family from our first visit! The food is priced fairly, which is hard to say about almost any other restaurant I've been in lately, and, it is delicious! There you have it...Welcoming, friendly staff, great menu selection, delicious food, priced fairly. A recipe for success, obviously since they've been there for over 20 years! Try it, you will not be disappointed!”
“A pay per pound hot pot spot where you just pick your ingredients and they make it for you.
It's a novel experience around these parts and honestly it's pretty decent.
Was a fun experience and while the food is pretty mid mostly, it's priced alright too so is worth a visit if keen.”
“I was born and raised in Oaxaca City and decided to give this place a try. I will happily say that they absolutely exceeded my expectations in terms of their flavors, service, and atmosphere.
This food truck is located within the parking lot of a local gas station at E Calaveras Blvd & S Park Victoria Dr. There was enough parking at the time I drove in. The guy who took my order greeted me in Spanish with a smile and acted very genuinely and cordially.
I ordered 2 lengua tacos. The portions were appropriate, and the meat was perfectly cooked and tasted both juicy and very, very, authentic. The onions and cilantro had been freshly diced and made me smile when I squeezed lime juice on both tacos. They gave me two small containers with their red and green salsas. Yes, their salsas immediately activated long-stored memories in my taste buds. I can say that it flew me back to Oaxaca. My whole mouth watered at the first bite, so to extend the feast in my mouth and soul, I made 4 tacos with the double tortillas.
I will be coming back with friends and family and I think you should too.”
“I stop by after work yesterday to get the tiramisu cake for my mother-in-law. Each of us had a slice of it after the homemade hot pot dinner. We were all quite amazed about the texture and the taste. Beyond our expectation! I have to say personally I like it better than 85 °C’s version (or other competitors bakery) especially with the $31.99 price. The guy helped with my pick up was nice, I was in and out for 5 minutes. He gave me 3 packs of different color candles although we didn’t ended up using those. Their paper plates quality are not that good, very thin made. I would suggest just ask for utensils for your cake order. Might go with a different flavor next time for my husband and my daughter’s birthdays in September. :)”
“Tasty Pot is a great spot for hot pot lovers. The food is tasty, the prices are reasonable, and the overall experience is very satisfying. The restaurant is spacious and comfortable, making it a pleasant place to enjoy a meal.
Staff are friendly and helpful, and ordering is super convenient—you just scan a QR code with your phone. It's a smooth, modern system that makes everything quick and easy. Highly recommend!”

“One of the best mutton biryani's i have had in the bay area. Almost all their biryani's are great, especially the meat. On weekends they have a thali special which is definitely worth it with the variety of options they give. Except for possibly desert, everything we have had here over the past 1 year has been great.”

“My go to place for filter coffee ☕ not just for great taste but also because this is the only place that offers mini coffee and not an XL sized one. Hope all other indian restaurants also offer similar mini coffee/tea. Also tried vegan chai with very low expectations but surprisingly it was so good.”
“AMAZING snacks! There is a free snack bar with all kinds of delicious chinese snacks, the staff were very kind and gave children toys. You can walk in at any given time and they will find you a table immediately. The place is very clean, and my family and I love it so much we go at least 2 times a week. If you’re ever looking for a hot pot place go here!”
“Tried the Green Peas Sushi and Pumpkin Sushi. Pumpkin sushi was really good. Would never feel guilty after eating Sushi.
Definitely recommended ✅
Updated on 11.11.2025
Added new photos after having tried the Mango Sushi, and Cucumber Avocado Sushi. It was really good. Staff was kind and helpful.”
“this is one the best sushi spots in the south bay area! huge selection of sushi and specialty rolls, nigiris, special sashimi combinations. we ordered the 10 pc sashimi special and enjoyed it so much — it was thickest cuts of sashimi we’ve ever had! we also ordered omakase box (8pc) which came with wagyu, otoro, uni, salmon belly and other selections. the portions were so generous and the fish was extremely fresh!”
“I really enjoyed the variety of foods that were served and the presentation. Wonderful spice flavors as well as mild to spicy foods. I really enjoyed the biryani dish. Loved the traditional serving dishes like clay pots and drinking cups. The restaurant decor is well done too. Very traditional restaurant all around.”

“I had lunch here with my husband. Manolo greeted us with a happy welcome and seated us. He was an excellent server as well. The food was cooked perfectly to my specifications and very delicious. I left there feeling like I Ieft a 5 star restaurant. Great food, great service, friendly staff and a quiet atmosphere. Who could ask for more? This is my new go to restaurant.!!
I don't mind driving the extra miles to get there. It is worth every mile.”
“on the afternoon of OCT 27, 2024 poor staff didn't have any cooks - they are doing their best with the hand they were dealt today. I hope those that were kicking tail to keep up with the demand are given a raise or a respectful appreciation for sticking through unique challenges and stressors.”
“Hansang Tofu – The Hidden Gem of Milpitas 💎🇰🇷
This place is almost hidden in plain sight, tucked right behind the McDonald’s everyone in Milpitas knows. It’s one of those true “if you know, you know” spots that locals swear by.
My girlfriend and I have been coming here for a while now, and the reason we keep coming back is simple: quality. Every dish that comes out of the kitchen is consistently fresh, flavorful, and made with care.
What We Ordered 🍽️
Special Combo #35 – Galbi & Seafood Tofu Soup (Medium Spicy)
The portions are on the smaller side, but honestly, they’re perfect for two people, just enough to leave you satisfied without feeling stuffed.
The Galbi is beautifully marinated and grilled to perfection with that irresistible sweet and savory balance and a hint of char.
The Seafood Tofu Soup is our favorite, clean, rich, and full of depth. It’s easily one of the best versions around.
Pairing these two together is a flavor explosion, comforting, savory, and perfectly balanced. Add in a scoop of rice and some kimchi, and it’s game over. 🔥
Mandu 🥟
Freshly fried to golden crispiness with a juicy pork filling inside. The vinegar-based dipping sauce cuts through the richness perfectly, it’s tangy, addictive, and keeps you reaching for more.
The Banchan (Side Dishes) 🥢
Hansang nails their banchan every single time. From the kimchi to the seasoned sprouts, everything tastes fresh and thoughtfully made. You know a Korean restaurant is good when even the side dishes shine.
If you’re looking for an authentic Korean spot that hasn’t blown up yet, this is it. Come now (or better yet, yesterday) before everyone else finds out. Huge thanks to the Hansang staff for always taking care of us and keeping the quality top-notch. 🙌🇰🇷”

“Fantastic little poke spot in Milpitas. Friendliest owners I've ever met, and the toppings are fresh and delicious. You start by picking your base: sushi rice, brown rice, or greens, then add your proteins with variety such was spicy salmon, tuna, shrimp, tilapia, tuna salad, tofu, etc. You can choose a spice level, and additional toppings such as edamame, corn, seaweed salad (so good), macaroni salad, crab, etc. I love to add spicy mayo and yuzu ponzo, plus eel sauce. Do not pass this place up!”

“Teaspoon Milpitas is pretty good and consistent with their drink quality. I always grab a drink here before or after visiting Daeho. My favorite drink here will be the liquid gold because of the balance flavor between oolong tea and creama that gives a refreshing taste. The staff who works here are very nice and pretty fast at making the drinks. There's seating in the boba shop as well so you can sit and enjoy your drinks.”
“The best bahn mi ever.
This is one of the few restaurants that sell grilled beef bahn mi . Absolutely delicious!!!
Their tofu bahn mi is also high on my list!!!
Not only does this restaurant make bahn mi, but they offer hot entrees, like noodle soup and rice dishes.
The eggrolls are delicious.
There is seating for about 20 people.
Canned drinks and juices are available, as
Are freshly made smoothies and boba tea..
Oh yeah, and the prices for the bahn mi are incredible. $6.00- $7.50 depending on what you order.
Service is fast.. atmosphere - okay.
More like a hole- in- the - wall restaurant, but a memorable hole- in - the- wall!!!”
“Vietnamese friends told us about Anh Hong Saigon so we went with another friend. the seven-beef course is minimum two orders, but that was fine. a great deal of food and we talked and ate and talked.
the waiter was super helpful: told us about the dishes and how to eat. brought more dishes but didn't bother us. by 1p on Saturday, it was full.
go and order the seven beef course. only a few places offer this.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Nice variety with solid portions of really good food. The three scoop salad had tuna salad, chicken salad, and cottage cheese with a variety of fruits and vegetables, along with a hard-boiled egg half. The cheeseburger was an 8-ounce patty with fresh veggies and crispy onion rings. The French dip was packed and came with au jus and hot, crispy fries.”

“Went on May 10th Dia de Madres. The location was super busy, but we were seated right away. The service was awesome!!! Even tho it was busy, they had several people helping and checking on the tables. I made a special order. The Bacon Avocado Eggs Benedict but with country gravy instead of holendaise sauce!!! I despise holendaise sauce...lol Great Service!!!”
“Ordered the Tonkotsu soup ramen with thick noodles and less salt for myself and the black garlic soup ramen with thick noodles and less salt for hubby. The black garlic ramen was most flavourful. Both soup was rich and thick and the fried black garlic was fragrant. The pork slices were thick and soft. Have to say the ramen was tasty and satisfying, authentic to Japan. Have a try for yourself”
“Great food and friendly service. We usually order to-go from them, and came here for the BBQ fish, and it was delicious—served hot, well-seasoned, and in a generous portion. We really enjoyed it and would definitely come back.”
“Absolutely fantastic service from our incredibly attentive server for our large group. She made the experience even more memorable. If this is indicative of the service given at this restaurant, we will return.”
“Best Momos! Can't wait to try more specialties!”

“Omg the calamari is amazing, most of the drinks I don’t like. But the food and customer service is amazing. Kenya is great customer service, like she always says hi to me, she fixed the spices for me without attitude and genuinely looks like she’s a very nice girl. You don’t meet good customer service like her.”
“Great place to sit back and relax while enjoying a cup of delicious frozen yogurt. The place is clean and the employees are nice and friendly. Love the strawberry and cheesecake flavors. Great selection of toppings. If you haven’t tried it yet I recommend giving it a try.”
“Valerio's is our go-to stop for Filipino pastries - we always go ahead of family trips.
We try to go in the morning between 10-11am, and it's rarely crowded during the week. We love their señorita bread, pan de sal, and long breads (ube, cream cheese, and haba haba). SO good!
The team is always so sweet and friendly when we come in. It's always such a pleasure stopping in for pastries.”
“😕Not their best showing. Waitress served me chili with onions and did not give me option to say no. She tried to over-charge me for the corn muffin that comes with the chili. Then pretty much told me I had to pay now as she was going on break, even though I was still finishing my tea. When I asked if the onions were standard or optional, the waitress said they were standard, the manager said they are by request. But how can I know they'll add onions if no one tells me. I literally had to point to the menu to show that it does not say cheese and onions can be added.”
“What can I say about the Blue Note? This is the best lounge around where you can come relax, drink, and dance your *** off if you want too .. It's a loving family owned business that's been in the area for years .. The staff is GREAT .. Big shout out to the bartenders (Michele and Sharon) who makes the best Cadillac Margaritas ... And one of the best place to throw a party”

“We ordered
A spicy beef soup 5/5stars
And the
Braised ribs with cheese 5/5stars
The banchan side dishes was ok. I didn't particularly like any of it 3/5 family liked it ok”

“If you like fresh tasty Asian food in an ultra clean, bright and cheery environment, you've found your new home at TK Noodle Milpitas. They reopened after being shut down by the covid lockdowns in a smaller newer building and it's better than ever. They have ame great food in a more cheerful clean bright friendly environment. I love pasta and noodles and their wide noodles are the best anywhere in the world, EVER!”
“Excellent food, taste is so authentic. Freshly made. Customer service is very friendly and accommodative. We had Chicken 65, Medu Vada, Dosa Varieties, Biriyani, parathas, Chilli chicken, uthappam, Poori etc. Highly recommend this restaurant, for kids and Adults. I would definitely visit often. Pricing very nominal.”

“I came to the bay area after 6 years. And I couldn't wait to have their Vijaywada chicken biryani which is what I used to have all the time earlier. It is one of my favorite foods in the bay area. They have toned down the spices in the biryani, probably for the good.”
“My go to place for filter coffee ☕ not just for great taste but also because this is the only place that offers mini coffee and not an XL sized one. Hope all other indian restaurants also offer similar mini coffee/tea. Also tried vegan chai with very low expectations but surprisingly it was so good.”
“Milpitas Buffet is exactly what you hope for when you walk into a seafood buffet — and it delivers perfectly. The selection is huge, with so many dishes that it’s hard to even decide where to start. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and well prepared. The seafood section is the star, and the crab legs are a must-try — grab them while they’re hot, because they taste amazing and go fast. I also appreciated how clean and well maintained the place is, which makes the whole dining experience even better. The staff is attentive and quick to refill trays, so you never feel like you’re missing out on something. There’s plenty of variety beyond seafood too, so everyone can find something they like. For the price, the value is more than fair considering the quality and freshness of the food. Milpitas Buffet has quickly become one of my favorite spots, and I’ll definitely be coming back again and again. Highly recommended!”

“TK Noodle in Milpitas is an absolute gem for anyone craving authentic, comforting, and flavorful Vietnamese cuisine. Every visit here feels like a treat, and their dishes never disappoint. The broth in their noodle soups is incredibly rich and aromatic, clearly crafted with care and packed with bold flavors that make each bite irresistible.
The menu offers a great variety, but the classics like their beef noodle soup or pork and shrimp rice noodles are absolute must-tries. The noodles are perfectly cooked with just the right texture, and the fresh herbs and garnishes elevate the dish to perfection. Portion sizes are generous, and everything is served piping hot and beautifully presented.
The service is always quick and efficient, even during the busiest hours. The staff are friendly, attentive, and make you feel right at home. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, making it a perfect spot for a quick bite or a relaxed meal with friends and family.
TK Noodle is hands down one of the best places for Vietnamese comfort food in Milpitas. Whether you’re a longtime fan of Vietnamese cuisine or trying it for the first time, this place is a must-visit. I can’t wait to return and try more of their amazing dishes!”
