Shin’s Tofu House 1701 Lundy AveSuite 160, San Jose Korean • $$

“If you're looking for authentic Korean food, stop by Shin's Tofu! The interior is a bit smaller with limited seating so there can be a wait. Parking can also be limited during the busy weekends.

As for food, my go to is the tofu soup. It is comforting to eat when you just want to feed your soul and nourish your body.

Their galbi marinated short rib is also really good. Lots of flavor and good char taste to it. They have a good selection of banchan, which they will easily refill once they notice you're running low.

This is a small business and everyone there have been so nice and friendly. If you're ever craving Korean food, especially tofu soup, definitely stop by here. It's worth it!”

“TBH I was hesitant at first to eat at Acopia. As a vegan, most Mexican restaurants do not usually have options for me. Their menu is somewhat minimal and limited, so entered with few expectations or hopes that I could order anything more than a salad. However, I was pleasantly surprised! The owner came to our table and was most accommodating. I ordered a succulent nopales salad, street corn and some delicious blue corn sopes de calabasita (zucchini and flower). It was all quite tasty and I was even more surprised when she brought out some vegan mayo AND vegan cheese to top off my food with more flavor. The atmosphere is very modern and simply styled, mirroring their “chic” food menu. I found the food delicious though a bit on the bland side, but was grateful that they came through for me and my vegan diet. I left sated and happy that I could fully participate in the meal alongside my meat-eating friends. The owner was very thoughtful and really went out of her way to make sure I had plenty of choices to order. Although it was a bit pricey, I will definitely go back again. The modern ambiance, the attentive service and the fancy yet rustic food combined to make a lovely evening meal.”

A.M. Craft 481 E San Carlos St, San Jose Coffee Shops • $

“I was really excited to visit this shop after watching their YouTube videos. You can clearly see how much passion they have for coffee and how committed they are to supporting the community, which is what made me want to come in.
I stopped by on a Monday to buy a bag of whole beans to brew at home. I asked for a recommendation and mentioned I was planning to do pour-overs. I was also trying to find something that was not fruity and leaned more bold, since I have had light, fruity coffees in the past that were not my preference.
I was recommended a Flower Child coffee, which turned out to be very light and fruit-forward. While it was not the right fit for my personal taste, it was clearly a high-quality coffee and I can see why someone who enjoys floral and fruity profiles would really love it.
I think this shop shines in the quality of their beans and the care they put into sourcing. For customers who are still learning coffee terminology, a bit more guidance or clearer labeling could make the experience even better.
Overall, this is a great spot with knowledgeable people and a strong mission, and I definitely plan on coming back. Now that I know more about how to describe what I like, I am excited to try something else next time.”

“Honestly, I forgot about this place. Went here after Christmas to have cousins night.
Today, I am here for Pokemon day with my cousins and sis.

It had been 30 years. I was 12 when I first played it on my gameboy. There is pokemon related drink menu, so I got Vs Red drink. :) The menu is very cute and awesome. I actually tried almost 35% to 40% of the drink menu ($$$ x.x). No complaints so far.

My cousin ordered pizza. Chicken garlic. Hm, if I think back how it tasted... it was good. Thought I don't agree with the whole uncut garlic. Rather have it diced! As a cook, I ate one whole clove because I was curious, especially in my drunken state. Not sure if the slight numbness in my mouth was a factor after several drinks.

If I can find a date that is also a gamer, this is perfect date!”

Once you park, someone from the restaurant steps in as an honorary crossing guard, helping you cross safely. The complimentary bread was soft, warm, and clearly fresh from the oven. The marinara sauce in the farfalle mafiusa stood out for its bright and fresh tomato flavor. The pansotti was very tasty. The tomato butter sauce in it was rich yet beautifully balanced. The coconut mousse martini was dessert in a glass, but without the heaviness. The chocolate fondant cake was dense, and unapologetically sweet. Would happily come back again!”

​What really sets it apart are the owners, Nici and Ty. They are incredibly friendly and offer great recommendations. It was a pleasant surprise that they recognized us months after our first visit and even remembered my girlfriend's preferred wine! We also love their flexible flight concept, which allows you to sample any of the wines available for a single set price.

“The best thing about this place is that they’re open 24 hours! I would definitely recommend it, especially when everything else is closed. The pricing is reasonable, and the service was excellent. Pamela helped our table and was great from the start. She was very patient with us and offered helpful recommendations. She checked on us frequently and went the extra mile to make sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. She truly deserves a raise for providing such exceptional service.

The food was delicious and came out fairly quickly. The parking lot, however, is a bit tricky. The entrance is narrow and easy to miss, and you may end up passing it and seeing an exit that you unfortunately cannot enter.

One concern I noticed was that the ice cream tub and whipped cream were completely exposed. Customers walk by with easy access, and there were no lids or coverings. This is extremely unhygienic, as someone could cough, sneeze, or touch it, not to mention flies, which do not appear to be prevented from making direct contact.

The ambiance is okay, nothing particularly special, but they did a great job decorating for Christmas.

“Editing this a year later

​This spot has become our favorite destination for a relaxing wine night, whether it's a casual evening with friends or a date night. The cozy atmosphere is consistently a hit with everyone we introduce to the place.
​What really sets it apart are the owners, Nici and Ty. They are incredibly friendly and offer great recommendations. It was a pleasant surprise that they recognized us months after our first visit and even remembered my girlfriend's preferred wine! We also love their flexible flight concept, which allows you to sample any of the wines available for a single set price.
​It's also an excellent choice if you're looking for a laid-back wine bar before heading over to a Sharks game!”

The marinara sauce in the farfalle mafiusa stood out for its bright and fresh tomato flavor. The pansotti was very tasty. The tomato butter sauce in it was rich yet beautifully balanced. The coconut mousse martini was dessert in a glass, but without the heaviness. The chocolate fondant cake was dense, and unapologetically sweet. Would happily come back again!”

Phở 54 2874 Alum Rock Ave B, San Jose Vietnamese • $

“11.19.25 2:30pm Our absolute fave pho and bun restaurant, they don't serve anything else, now open 7 days a week. This restaurant has been here for 40 years! It's a no frills, cafeteria style, single family owned business with the kindest people staffed here. One of my doctors recommended this place.

The pho broth is actually real, simmered bone broth instead of powdered soup base like 99% of other pho restaurants. We tested the broth, took it home, and it gelled completely in the fridge. Pho and bun are super fresh, with abundant amount of meat and fresh vegetables. My parents rate this restaurant's pho as the best tasting they ever ate, and they LOVE pho! We couldn't detect any msg flavor in the food.

We overheard another Caucasian male patron, who was there for a pick up order, talking with the owner gentleman and he said he had been a loyal patron of this restaurant since 1997 and he drives down all the way from Castro Valley just to get the to-go pho from here. That has to be an hour's drive one way without heavy traffic.

Currently there are at least 6 story apt buildings being built right next to and behind the restaurant. Parking lot is not plentiful but if dining at odd hours it won't be as busy.

Thank you!”

Mine was really oily compared with my hubby’s, so I wasn’t able to clean my plate off with the bread. Came Dec on a Fri at 1p am they were closed! So bummed!! Craving for it all weekend so came back on Monday and had to wait a while bc they ran out of bread and had to go out to get more. Then found out afterwards that they substituted my xu mai for a piece of spam!! Oh well. Still yummy. Gave them one less star for the inconsistency. You order at the counter and they give you buzzer to come back in 10-15 mins to pick up. Not much of a customer service, 1 lady and 1 man working, since they are so busy cooking it fresh to order hot and sizzling for the cold food court, lol.

My cousin ordered pizza. Chicken garlic. Hm, if I think back how it tasted... it was good. Thought I don't agree with the whole uncut garlic. Rather have it diced! As a cook, I ate one whole clove because I was curious, especially in my drunken state. Not sure if the slight numbness in my mouth was a factor after several drinks.

Goodtime Bar 30 Fountain Alley #160, San Jose Wine Bar • $$

“This bar is pure vibe. I was visiting San Jose from Boston with my wife, who works in the natural wine world, and we brought six friends with high expectations. This place exceeded all of them.
First, the wine program is outstanding. Thoughtful, diverse, and clearly curated with real care for the natural wine spectrum. Every bottle we tried was excellent. Prices were shockingly fair for the quality. Even with the $15 corkage, which we do not really see in Boston, the value was hard to beat.
The food was just as impressive. We had the arancini, a tantanmen-style butter pasta, chips and dip, and the pork belly. Every dish was crave-worthy. Serious cooking happening here, and we cannot wait to come back and dig deeper into the menu.
The space itself was cozy and transportive, somehow pulling you out of the downtown setting entirely. We started on the patio, where the hostess effortlessly set us up with a table, linens, glassware, a bench, and a space heater so we could settle in and catch up. A DJ was spinning an immaculate set that my wife perfectly described as “Bay Area classics.” Inside, the layout was warm and inviting, with a front-window den of couches, a communal table, and enough seating to comfortably fit our whole group. By then, the wine was flowing and the energy was just right.
And finally, the service. Ming behind the bar and our hostess were absolute standouts. Warm, attentive, and genuinely engaged, even while handling a full bar. From accommodating a walk-in group of eight to keeping glasses filled, plates flowing, and the overall vibe dialed in, they made the night feel effortless.
10/10. We will absolutely be back, and I would recommend this spot to anyone looking for a truly great natural wine bar experience.”

The space is cozy, so weekends can get busy, but it’s worth the wait. If you’re looking for a welcoming spot with fresh food and excellent service, Shabu Time is a must-try!”

The food was absolutely delicious, with every dish crafted with care and rich in flavor. The tapas were exquisite, and the hand-selected Spanish-Catalan wines perfectly complemented our meal. Rodrigo, our server, went above and beyond, providing exceptional recommendations and ensuring we had an incredible dining experience. His attentiveness and knowledge truly elevated our visit. A special highlight was meeting Monserrat, the owner, whose kindness and hospitality made us feel at home. Her love for the community and dedication to creating a welcoming space is evident in every aspect of La Catalana. We visited to celebrate friendship and an award received by one of our friends, and we couldn’t have chosen a better place.

Acopio 399 S 24th St, San Jose Restaurant • $$

“TBH I was hesitant at first to eat at Acopia. As a vegan, most Mexican restaurants do not usually have options for me. Their menu is somewhat minimal and limited, so entered with few expectations or hopes that I could order anything more than a salad. However, I was pleasantly surprised! The owner came to our table and was most accommodating. I ordered a succulent nopales salad, street corn and some delicious blue corn sopes de calabasita (zucchini and flower). It was all quite tasty and I was even more surprised when she brought out some vegan mayo AND vegan cheese to top off my food with more flavor. The atmosphere is very modern and simply styled, mirroring their “chic” food menu. I found the food delicious though a bit on the bland side, but was grateful that they came through for me and my vegan diet. I left sated and happy that I could fully participate in the meal alongside my meat-eating friends. The owner was very thoughtful and really went out of her way to make sure I had plenty of choices to order. Although it was a bit pricey, I will definitely go back again. The modern ambiance, the attentive service and the fancy yet rustic food combined to make a lovely evening meal.”

And found me a place that was simple and neat.

I ordered a burger, just two ninety-nine,
It came out all steamy, and wow — it was fine!
The fries were four ninety-nine, crispy and hot,
With onions and sauce — they delivered a lot!

The burger was simple, no truffle, no fluff,
But juicy and cheesy and savory stuff.
The fries had a crunch and the sauce had a zing,
Together they made my taste buds want to sing!

The tables were wooden, all benchy and bare,
A little bit dusty — some crumbs here and there.
But hey, I’m not picky, and truth be well told,
That’s not why I’m here — I’m not five years old.

The bathrooms were tidy, the service was fast,
This meal hit the spot — it was built to last.
For seven bucks total, I give it a cheer,
The best deal in town, and I’ll sure reappear!”
