“Really great KBBQ spot. The meat was fresh and delicious, the sides were tasty, and the service was friendly and attentive. Everything came out quickly and we had a great experience. Would definitely come back.”
“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 😕🙏”
“Im visiting from AZ, went to the great mall to buy something real quick and wanted to have a quick lunch. Went here with no expectations, after all its just a quick grab restaurant inside a shopping mall. And, they delighted me with a pleasant surprise. We ordered Paneer biriyani and paneer manchurian. And OMG it was one of the best interms of making it taste like home but yummy. The balance is what's amazing..usually restaurant food is oily and heavy. This was so different, it was light, less oily, natural and very tasty. Food came super fast and was really really good. Id love to visit again when I am back in town.”
“I got the normal broth, medium spicy, and it was very flavorful, not too spicy. Only thing is the beef shrinks a lot in size after it’s cooked so keep that in mind when filling your bowl. It’s a bit pricy, I paid about $30 for my bowl, however it was a large portion”

“I went to Jun bistro a few times. It's a cute resturant with a unique theme and it is nicely decorated inside.
I had the mushroom truffle rice and beef noodle a few times. I love them both. The broth is light and flavorful. While the beef is juicy and tender. And for the mushroom rice. They give a generous amount of mushrooms. Overall, the dishes there are all so flavorful in each bite. The one that stood out was the Chinese donut and pate. I didn't know you could pair them together. I'll definitely order those again!
Overall, staff are very friendly there. There's a great variety of food. A great way to try Yunnase dishes! I look forward to coming again and trying their other dishes!”
“Definitely my favorite place for sushi in San jose. The portions are great and the prices aren't too bad. I actually love how much fish is on each of the sushi.”

“Drove to Milpitas from Fremont just for their Black sesame ice cream, traffic on S880, I don't care, high gas prices, I don't care, just greatful they are not in SF, but well....I don't care either, when I want it, I'll find a way to get it.
With chunks of black sesame candy mixed inside, it gives a 3rd dimension to the mouth feel.”

“Really great sandwiches and pleasant staff here, they have a quiet little balcony area for you to enjoy a quick bite to eat here, there pastrami sandwiches are the best that i've had so far, I can't wait to try more from this place. (this company has an amazing back story to it )”
“Really enjoyed my meal at Outback! The steak was delicious and cooked just the way I wanted, the portions were generous, and the service was friendly. A very satisfying meal!”
“The food here was so good and service was really nice! So happy to have halal Uyghur cuisine in the area. I had the hand pulled cumin noodles and they were delicious! We also had the samsa which was great. Would definitely come back!”
“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.”
Outdoor Dining
“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!”
“The food was absolutely amazing! Everything was fresh, hot, and full of flavor. The vegetables and rotis were especially delicious. The guys did an excellent job preparing the food, and you can really taste the effort and love they put into it. Great food, great service, and a wonderful experience. Highly recommended! ❤️🔥”
“Tasty Pot in Milpitas is a good place when you are craving individual Taiwanese-style hot pot with plenty of flavor and variety. Each person gets their own pot, which makes it easy to choose exactly what you want without having to share the same broth.
The menu has several good options, including beef hot pot, Taiwanese supreme spicy hot pot, seafood, lamb, and kimchi-style pots. The broth is flavorful, and each pot comes packed with ingredients such as vegetables, tofu, noodles, meat, fish balls, and other toppings. The portions are filling, especially with rice on the side.
I like that you can choose your spice level and customize the meal depending on your taste. The spicy broths have a nice kick, while the milder choices are still flavorful without being overwhelming.
The restaurant is casual and usually busy, especially during dinner and colder weather. Service is generally quick, and the individual hot pots come out bubbling hot.
A solid choice in Milpitas for a warm, satisfying meal with lots of variety.”

“Wow the sauce bar is one of the best I’ve experienced in the states. We came here with a group of friends and it was so much fun! The broth is really good and all the ingredients were presented really well. You can get a huge mix of mushroom platter, meat platter and even intestines.
The interior is bright and nice. This place is good for group dinners, though there is a lot of standing up to reach for things to make sure it doesn’t spill everywhere.
Will be back again!”
“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.”
“Food was SO good! Very authentic! Staff was friendly and kind! ❤️ will definitely come back if I’m in the area! 🥰”
“This is hands down one of the best North Indian buffet places in the Bay Area! With stylish interiors and a warm, inviting ambiance, this place is definitely not to be missed.
I visited during lunch with a few friends, and we were wowed by the variety of food options. The naan was served fresh, and everything we tried tasted really good.
I also catered food from them for my spouse’s 50th birthday party, and the food was a huge hit with all our guests. Everything was delivered on time and tasted perfect.
For appetizers, we ordered Dahi Bhalla, Achaari Paneer, and Gobi Manchurian. For the main course, we had Chana Masala, Butter Chicken, and Paneer Lababdar, along with Naan and Lachcha Paratha. We also ordered Moong Dal Halwa for dessert.
The Dahi Bhalla was a super hit! Several guests said it was hands down the best Dahi Bhalla they had ever had at a restaurant. All the other dishes were equally delicious and received lots of compliments.
Overall, whether you’re looking for a great North Indian buffet or catering for a party, I highly recommend this place. We will definitely be ordering from them again!”

“We always come to this restaurant. The food is great, and it always arrives on time as scheduled. The service is excellent. The manager (Mayolo) is very friendly and always checks on customers to see if they need anything. His friendliness is one of the reasons we keep coming back for the nth time.”
“I ordered at the drive-through. Instead of keeping me waiting at the window, they told me to wait at the parking space and offered to bring the food out. Any sauce request is fulfilled. Nice service. My favorite place. The grilled chicken is tender, the home style is crunchy. Had a yummy satisfying lunch.”
“I find that all the price from different McDonald are different. This store has the cheapest price that they offered around the area compare to all other McDonald. No kiosk to order so you either order from your phone or in line. Wait can be long since there are always a lot of people.”
“fabulous, entertaining, great place to interact with others”
“Kung Pao chicken with rice tasted great but not too much chicken and comes with soup
The meat in the soup was overcooked but huge portion so worth the $25”

Takeout Restaurants
“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.”

For the quality of food though, it’s worth it.”
“The food is good, fresh and a good value.
A suggestion is to improve the to-go order pickup process, currently when you go in, there is a crowd of people with no line and everyone is waiting to pickup their order. And there is usually no one at the counter as everyone is busy prepping/packing stuff so you have to go to the counter at the right time when a worker is calling someone's order name and tell/show them your order details. I believe they keep the to-go food behind the counter to prevent theft or people grabbing the wrong food but the current system (or lack of any system) is stressful each time I go.”
“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!”
“Dakao sandwiches has been around for over 30 years maybe 40. Decor is probably original. Anyway banh mi sandwiches are generally good. Expect to pay 7 dollars for a standard banh mi. They use a 10 inch narrow baguette. Filling is ok but uneven. Buy 2 and it's still less than what you would pay for a sandwich from a deli or sandwich shop.”
“I stopped by Ume Tea and tried one of their fruit milk drinks, it’s the mango cloud and it was absolutely delicious! The drink was refreshing, creamy, and packed with real fruit pieces. The presentation was beautiful, and every layer blended perfectly together.
The shop itself is clean, cute, and welcoming, with a fun atmosphere that makes it a great place to grab a treat while shopping. It’s located in the Great Mall, so all the better. The staff was friendly, and my drink was made quickly despite how busy it was.
If you enjoy unique boba and fruit tea creations, Ume Tea is definitely worth a visit. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more flavors!
Highly recommend! 🧋💕🍑”

“Very tasty & filling food - I got the beef noodle soup and the noodles had to be like 3 feet long! They are also made here, and have that amazing homemade chew - delicious. Husband got the spicy mutton noodles, and really loves the spicy lamb oil that came with it. We'll definitely be back.”
“I recently visited International Kitchen in Milpitas and enjoyed checking out this spot! It’s a nice place to explore different flavors and enjoy a meal. I love discovering local restaurants around the Bay Area, and this was a fun addition to my list of places to try. If you’re in the Milpitas area and looking for somewhere new to check out, give International Kitchen a visit!”
“Great place for malatang style eating where you select your own food and portion. I love eating the vegetables there so I choose all the veggies I love to eat only. They also have a number of meat that are pretty good for your soup as well. It feels like you go shopping and they cook for you.
Once select your food and select your soup type that you want, they will cook it for you and bring it to your table. Medium spicy can be a bit spicy for some people so choose wisely.
Depends on how much you get but it could range from $15-22/person. I normally get about 1 pound of food which costs around $20. There is not much service since it’s pretty much self service.
The place is fairly clean and decent. Could be cleaner but not bad considering the traffic.”
“I went in for lunch at 12 on Tuesday. It was just me and there was no wait. The ramen was pretty decent. It wasn't the best I've ever had, but better than average. I've tried most of the top spots in the bay area (Ramen Dojo, Ramen Parlor, Ramen Nagi, Marufuku, HiroNori etc.). I had the Tonkatsu Ramen, with Kale noodles, and Spicy Sauce on the side. Overall it was a solid ramen and I could see myself going back in the future since I work nearby. Prices are standard, and service was good. You order at your table with a tablet. Like others have said, its a small place so probably not a good idea to go with a large group.”
“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”
“Came here today for the first time, and brought my grandson with me. We loved the food, and everyone who was working there was very friendly and kind. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We’ll definitely be back!”
Cheap Eats
“Had a great experience with pizza guys Milpitas today. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful in helping us place an order. Gluten free pizza available! They went above and beyond to make sure we had a good dinner. Excellent customer service and the pizza was good too.”
“I happened to find this place on my way to work and ended up coming two days in a row! The staff here are always so friendly and cheerful, which is honestly such a nice way to start the morning. I got a hot latte to go, and it was really good. I also love the location and how quick the service is. The drive-thru is such a great idea because it saves you from having to park, walk into a cafe, order, and wait around, especially when you’re in a hurry in the morning. I also love that they have a loyalty card where you buy 10 coffees and get the 11th one free. Definitely a nice touch! I’ll be back plenty of times to collect my free 11th coffee :)”
“The service was quick and fast and we got our food in about less then 20 minutes. The food was delicious and the broth was perfect
(I would also like to put that the food aroma the first thing you enter the restaurant is absolutely amazing and the food plating is fantastic)”
“Fantastic, really tasty Filipino baking goods. I ate some after leaving the store and came back for more! Really recommend it. The sweets were particularly great.
It's really a place to get the baking goods and go as opposed to eating there.
Pricing was very reasonable.”
“This is my second time coming here their noodles 🍜 are really soft and so fresh made its very quiet good for solo dine in or a group of 4 the employee's seems nice, now is one of my favorite place to go everytime I want to eat some Chinese spicy noodle 🍜 recommendation 100%👍”
“Very tasty & filling food - I got the beef noodle soup and the noodles had to be like 3 feet long! They are also made here, and have that amazing homemade chew - delicious. Husband got the spicy mutton noodles, and really loves the spicy lamb oil that came with it. We'll definitely be back.”

“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 first met the owner just prior to their official opening. He stated that they would be having fresh, homemade food there; especially and finally, breakfast tacos as well. After awaiting for them to open, I came back and ordered 1 carne asada taco. Afterall; that is the starting point to what can lead to a great menu. Yes it certainly was delicious. I chose to have only one topping as to get the true flavor of the meat. It was juicy and very flavorful. My second and last time I visited was a couple of days prior to this writing. This time I ordered the California Burrito and two Breakfast Tacos. Both of which not only met my expectations, but surpassed it. The owner even threw in a bonus item, a Breakfast Quesadilla. That was the favorite item of my lunch that day. I always do what I can to go out and support small, independent businesses, especially in my own community. Los Jefes Taqueria is a definite place to try out and then you will be back when craving that taco or burrito.”
“I do not like Chinese food - usually too oily. But THIS food is AWESOME for me! Especially the hot sour soup (perfect tang) and the Fried rice (light and fluffy, delicious flavor). Also great was the orange chicken (not too sweet) and he sauce on the broccoli was so buttery(?). I WILL order again. Union City.”

“First time trying this place and I got a Bibimbap bowl with bulgogi beef added. It was really delicious and everything tasted very fresh. The sauce was very good too, a bit spicy, but not too bad. The price was reasonable as well. Definitely eating here when I visit great mall again.”
“A Hidden Gem in Milpitas! 🍣
This is my third time dining at Sushi Umami, and I’ve had a wonderful experience every time. I finally had to write a review because this place truly deserves the recognition!
The restaurant has a beautiful, elegant atmosphere, with tasteful decor, clean wooden tables, and cozy sofa booths. We were seated in one of the booths this time, which made our meal even more relaxing.
I especially love the beautiful tableware. Every plate, little bowl, and even the tiny sake cups is thoughtfully chosen and absolutely charming. Paired with the fresh, delicious food and beautiful presentation, everything is a feast for both the stomach and the eyes!
We particularly enjoyed the Truffle Hamachi, Uni Amaebi Don, Sake Steamed Clams, Sashimi Box, Omakase Nigiri & Sashimi, Double Toro Roll, and Triple S Roll. The staff were also friendly, gentle, and attentive, making us feel welcome throughout the meal.
With its delicious food, lovely atmosphere, warm service, and reasonable prices, Sushi Umami offers an all-around wonderful dining experience. We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend this hidden gem in Milpitas!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A delicious taste of South India at Kovai Cafe! The Benne Kara Masala Dosa was perfectly crispy, buttery, and easily a 10/10. A special shoutout to Sabarish anna for his warm, thoughtful, and attentive hospitality. He made sure we were comfortable throughout our visit and treated us with genuine kindness, making the experience even more enjoyable.
Highly recommend Kovai Cafe, especially for the delicious Benne Kara Masala Dosa! 😍❤️”
“If you are craving authentic South Indian food, Dosa Confession in Milpitas is definitely a place you must visit! ❤️
I absolutely loved the food, especially the Muntamasala, Podi Idly with sambar, Bangalore Puddina Masala Dosa, and the Chala Punugulu and Mirchi bijji. Everything was so flavorful and delicious! The podis were absolutely amazing—truly one of my favorite parts of the meal. 😍
The food brought back so many memories of India. If you are from the South Indian or Telugu community and are missing authentic Indian flavors, this is definitely a place to try. 🇮🇳❤️
I enjoyed everything so much that I will definitely be visiting again. Highly recommend “Dosa Confessions” to everyone who loves South Indian food!
If you miss India and Indian food, just go there—you won’t be disappointed! 😋❤️”
