“The food is FANTASTIC. If you enjoy spicy food, get the Sichuan broth, but beware that even the Medium Sichuan broth is SPICY AF, so if you don’t have the stomach for it, get either the mild one or another broth. The angus beef was perfect, and the udon noodles had great texture too. HIGHLY recommend the Cilantro Ponzu sauce - it adds a fantastic depth of flavor.”
“I see why there is a wait most of the time! Food is exceptionally good! They get very busy when it's prime time so things may take a bit longer to get but other than that this is a great spot!”
“This restaurant makes the BEST Thai food!! I spent a month in Thailand and this tastes very authentic and the flavors are off the charts. I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant, it’s so satisfyingly delicious… can’t wait to have more!
The restaurant is small but the staff are super friendly and the decor, table settings, and lighting are really nice.
*Best Thai food I’ve had since visiting the country!*”
“My husband and I lived in San Jose two years ago and came back to visit. This is an incredible and welcomed find. 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.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Pleasantly impressed by Uyghur Cuisine. Tried skewered lamb, mutton, home made noodle, soup & yogurt dessert. All Good & will certainly revisit”
“If you're craving Cambodian cuisine, make sure to visit Angkor Chef, a fantastic Cambodian restaurant located in downtown San Jose. Owned by Channy Laux - Chef and her husband, they've been serving up delicious dishes for about 6 months now. Tina and I were thoroughly impressed by their excellent service and mouthwatering food. The restaurant boasts a sleek and modern design, and we particularly loved the beef skewers (សាច់គោចាកាក់). We definitely will come back for more. #supportlocalbusiness #khmerfood”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I absolutely love Urban Plates! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere that made me feel right at home. The menu offers a fantastic variety of fresh, seasonal ingredients, and every dish I’ve tried has been bursting with flavor. What really sets Urban Plates apart is their commitment to quality. The salads are vibrant and crisp, the proteins are cooked to perfection, and I can always count on their delicious, house-made sauces to elevate each meal. The option to customize my plate allows me to explore new flavors while sticking to my dietary preferences. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, always ready to recommend their favorites. Plus, the commitment to sustainability and using local ingredients makes me feel good about my choices. Whether I’m dining in or grabbing a meal to go, Urban Plates never disappoints. It’s truly one of my favorite spots to enjoy fresh, wholesome food!”

“The best cookies I’ve had in a while. I don’t have much of a sweet tooth but these are so so good! I love the new variety of flavors every week and how they’re so unique and different than the generic cookies you buy in the grocery store. The price isn’t too bad either! For a box of 6 cookies it’s $22 but the cookies are HUGE. I can never finish one by myself so I leave them to the rest of my family. Also pro tip download the crumble app so you can earn free rewards. 100 points equals to $10 you can use towards the cookies.”

“Amazing to have such a place in San Jose! Friendly owners, awesome wine selection, top notch food and good value too. Cant recommend highly enough. Come on down and support a local business 🍷”
“Stumbled across this place... The food is soooooooooooo good!!! Beer selection could be a bit wider, but good choices. Boatload of TV's and really nice staff! Hidden gem for sure!
December 27... RIP. So sad to hear this is their last night. Food is just so damn good! And the staff are awesome!”
“Oh my gosh!!!! My family and I are on vacation driving through California. We stayed in San Jose for a couple nights. We parked in downtown to check things out. I Googled places for dinner and The Club on Post came up with good reviews. The website offered reservations and I booked one. We walked in and were greeted by Alena. She was a doll!!! She was also our server, she was super friendly and helpful. I knew this was my place, the music they had playing in the background was amazing, loud enough to hear it but quiet enough you can still have a conversation. I don't know if the music playing is always 2000s.... But it was that night, and they had Friends playing on the screen. The vibe was just so amazing.... But, now I'm showing my age. Ohh the food, so good. I ordered the Cajun chicken sandwich and my husband ordered the burger and we swapped halves.... Oh man the burger and sandwich were both delicious. We ordered dessert too. The molten lava cake was bomb!!! The creme brulee was amazing too. It was such a happy accident we stumbled across The Club. Alena definetly made our night.”
Outdoor Dining
“I just recently discovered Pho soup and Roots was recommended to me by a co-worker since I told them I wanted to get some good soup for my cold. I just love this place and glad my first experience with Pho was here. I love the broth that comes with the Pho it's so tasty, wish I could buy it by the buckets! I've only done order pickup.”
“Great location and friendly staff. Nice seating option with tables, a high bar, and outside seating. I’ve ordered simple black “quick pour” coffees and croissants. Croissant are not always warm, coffee is consistent in flavor and taste. Pastries are baked daily in SF and delivered fresh.”
“What a freaking gem. This spot gives off serious LA or NYC vibes right in the heart of downtown SJ. The decor alone deserves a shoutout: stunning tall ceilings, gorgeous wood and metal accents, natural tones, and even a couple of olive tree centerpieces that ties it all together in a sleek, contemporary way. If you need a date night spot, try to lock in a reservation here.
The elevator bar is probably one of the most unique features I've ever seen, shuttling bottles of liquor from the downstairs bar to the loft bar. The loft area wasn't open yet, but I could already picture it being the perfect place to pre-game and soak in the energy from the restaurant below.
The food is dialed in. New American with a Mediterranean twist. The open kitchen concept is a nice touch, letting you watch your dishes as they're being prepared. Highly recommend ordering family style to share. The octopus is an absolute must--tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The lobster pasta was decadent - pricey, but you get huge chunks of lobster that makes it worthwhile. We also ordered the monster ribeye topped with some insane butter, cooked medium rare. If you have a group of 4 or more, do it.
The drinks were fantastic, though more subdued in flavor compared to their other concepts like Paper Plane or Mini Boss. I'd recommend dinner at Eos & Nyx, then cap off the night with a cocktail at one of their other bars.
This is a game-changer for downtown SJ. It really reminded me of Bavel in downtown LA, one of my favorite restaurants ever. Excited to see this place finally open!”
“Came here for my my birthday dinner. Was delighted to have a refreshing, cozy ambiance for it! Our waitress, Luciana suggested us some wonderful delicacies and we enjoyed all the items we ordered! Must try their garlic bread, they are amazing.”

“You know those cool Christmas movies, in a bar that's all decked out with decorations? THIS is the place! We just moved to San Jose in November, no time to decorate for the holidays...honestly it didn't really feel like the holidays to us until we walked into MINIBOSS! We randomly found this place before a show at the Improv, and walking in for the first time ever, seeing everyone in Christmas sweaters and decorations ceiling to floor, holiday inspired amazing cocktails, cool holiday mugs and glasses. It really felt like the holiday spirit was in there and my husband and I desperately needed that!
We've been back a few times since, it's such a great place for hanging out and having drinks. I cant wait to check out the decorations during other holidays. And let's not forget the arcades. When friends come to visit us for the first time, this is the first bar we'll take them to!”
“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.”
“First time there Customer service was great food, accommodating, super friendly I would recommend for those to try out their delicious food”

“I haven't been to this Denny's in a long time, I was worried that we weren't going to have a good experience, But I was surprised at the excellent customer service, I spoke with the manager Blanca and expressed that they had exceeded my expectations. and she was very kind and took the time to come to our table thanked us for coming.”
“We had a fantastic breakfast experience at IHOP! I ordered the salmon and substituted broccoli for green beans and mashed potatoes for French fries it was absolutely delicious! The food was well-prepared, flavorful, and satisfying.
The service was also outstanding quick, accurate, and pleasant. I had the pleasure of being served by Jazmin, who was attentive and friendly, making the dining experience even better.
Overall, a great meal with excellent service. I’ll definitely be back! Highly recommend.”
“I love this Dennys !! I was so sad to hear that Juan no longer works here !! Hes been our waiter forever !! But on a good note, his replacement is Awesome ! Forgot how to say her name . She has many tattoos and is always smiling !! Excellent service !! Fast , but not pushy. Very attentive to our needs and we were very happy. We will definitely be going back on a regular. !!”
“We went through drive thru after seeing Jelly Roll in concert and the woman who took our order was so polite and very patient! Food was a little pricey, but after we ate, it was worth it! We both got the Western Bacon combo with cross cut fries and pink lemonade. It was all fresh and hot and yummy! Thanks! ?”
“I made a complaint, and they made it better, so I'm going to give them four stars instead.
The Hangover Burger is pretty good, especially considering it is fast food.
Previous 1-Star Review:
Beggars can't be choosers, if you order a free Hangover Burger, they will not make it to order the way you ask for it. So if you allergic to something or don't like something then too bad!!!
So you can choose not to eat your free burger, throw up because you don't like it, get sick or in pain because you're allergic to it, or if a serious allergy just simply die. Carl's Jr. doesn't care in any case.”
“I've been coming to this location for breakfast for the last 2 months since my physical therapy at Golden Hills is nearby. Reyna has been taking my order each time I visit. I'm always appreciative of the clean and neat appearance of tables, seating and floors. Reyna is meticulous in keeping the outside area as clean as the interior: picking up trash around perimeter of restaurant and making sure outside eating area is pristine. Only trash I've seen inside is the debris/ clutter made by customers as they enjoy their food. My food is always delivered promptly and it is hot. The only downside is that I feel it is very cold inside this restaurant. My inside temp app says it is 69 degrees so maybe you will find it okay but it is cooolld for me. This temp would be fantastic in summer. There's not much traffic in morning but picks up during lunch so if you want quick, hot breakfast with no crowds, this is the place. Just make sure you wear a warm sweater or jacket if you're like me:)”
“recomendado a 100% la comida EXQUISITA y la atención magnifica !! mi favorita Jahaira única cordial y muy profesional felicitaciones INKAS PERUVIAN RESTAURANT me encanta el nombre y todo 💕”

“Ended up going here by chance and very happy we did! All the ingredients were prepared to perfection, good quality and fresh. We ended up sharing one box between the two of us for lunch as it is a fairly sized portion for one box. The staff was patient, well spoken and helpful. Definitely going here again and I hope they open more branches in south bay!”
“Just walked in randomly from one of my walks. This space is really tiny, but cozy. When I walked, then it was really empty, and I was only customer. I wasn’t feeling like coffee, so I got the drink with mango and Boba and coconut milk. It was thick and tasty and very rich. I also got the banana bread to go with it and it was an okay banana bread. Nothing special. I wouldn’t probably come here to have a cafe experience, but rather to just get coffee on the go.”
“Food is nothing short of amazing. Large menu and especially good for vegetarians and those who are into healthy options and unwilling to sacrifice taste. Really good kids menu. It's crowded and loud on Friday night, so you'll need a little patience if you go then.”

“Half-pound (and up) fresh ground chuck burgers perfectly cooked. Plenty of menu options like turkey, bison, ostrich & more. The fries are excellent, and you load up your burger with all the fixins. Simply the best burger in the South Bay - even better that what Kirks USED to be.”
“Greeted warmly as i entered and met a friendly smile at the register. It was my 1st time at this location, Almaden, and very surprised by the great variety of offerings. I went with the portobello mushroom panini and tomato bisque soup. YUM YUM delicious 😋 Looking forward to coming back with my squad and trying different items. Come check this!”
“I wouldn’t call this hidden or a speakeasy because it’s easily accessible from the street. Although there’s no name on the outside, just a logo of a hat and tie. For sure speakeasy vibe. The servers are all dressed in true Haberdasher theme with a measuring tape around their neck.
Inside has the dim underground lighting. We stopped for one drink and I couldn’t make up my mind. So many great choices.
We got Pagoda and Putter Up. The Pagoda has the green basil drops that almost look like mold!..haha very tasty. The Putter Up was with scotch. Too strong for me.
They have tables, booths and high top tables. There’s a glass case in the back full of high end premium spirits. You can join $25 monthly membership to get 5 rare tastings a month.”
“GREAT garoto coffee...the espresso with foamy milk.. so smooth, not bitter nor too strong. The portuguese cheese and prosciutto sandwich was good but next time will not get it toasted as the cold cheese itself is wonderful! the Pasteis di nata are the best littleegg tarts as I found them to be a bit dry, but then again get another coffee! Owner was so friendly and the place adequate for being an older establishmen.”
“We tried to visit Goodtime Bar once before, but seating is very very limited, so decided to try again another time when we could get a seat (it's a small space, both inside and outside, and even the standing room is limited - but standing room isn't what I'm looking for in a wine bar).
Last night we made it at a time when we were able to grab the only 2 seats available. The ambiance is great - the setup is very modern, and the music is enjoyable. I was rather disappointed by their Wines by the Glass selection - rather, their lack thereof. Their menu has a single listing for "wines by the glass" with each color listed beneath (bubbles, white, orange, red) and a note to ask what they're pouring tonight. I like this in concept - it suggests a rotating menu. however, the options were limited - for a red, they only had a red blend (no other options for a single glass). I will caveat that with this: the red blend was delightful and I would absolutely get it again (if I knew what it is)! but when I go out to a wine bar, I'm interested in either a flight of different wines, or 2 glasses of 2 different wines (of the same color). so while our intention was to stay for 2 glasses each, we just had the single glass and left.
they do seem to have plenty of Wines by the Bottle options - again, a single listing on the menu pointing you to all the bottles on the wall with their prices written on them in sharpie. so if you're with a bigger group, or planning to stay for the whole evening, I can see Goodtime being a good time for you!
our service was great too! they are super friendly. a table inside with kids accidentally broke a wine glass, and I watched two of the workers immediately rush over to clean it up. I was very impressed with the response and the response time.”
“The staff is friendly, attentive, and goes above and beyond to ensure a memorable dining experience. (Van is wonderful)
When the sushi restaurant opened across the street, we of course had to try it, unfortunately they don't have the service nor food that would take us away from Shushi Pro.
The staff here truly cares about their guests.
They were attentive, courteous, & polite.
I have been a Food & Beverage Director for many hotels & I wish my service staff were as gracious and perfectional as the staff here.
My wife and I really love dining at Sushi Pro. From the moment we arrived until we left, everything was very well handled. I appreciate the team for putting together such a good experience. We’re already looking forward to our next visit.
Van and Crew, Your the best.
Thank you..
Sam & Nora Hernandez”
“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 ?”
“Very clean and nice Korean restaurant with tons of delicious vegetarian choices from pancakes, salads, tofu soups and side dishes!!!!
Not oily, no food coma after the meal! No more “Give me whole bottle of water! My body is filled with MSG!!!”
Highly recommended ?????”

“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.”
“Food is excellent and service was awesome. I've been here so many times. Recently the menu had changed, and everything on the menu is so good. From bread rolls, soup, salads, lamb chops, salmon, steaks, crab fried rice. I literally tried everything on the menu...”
“Wow! Tried it today for the first time and could kick myself for not going sooner!!! Ordered pork belly with rice and cabbage- outstanding, mixed vegetables- unbelievable!-Strong garlic flavor crisp and flavorful. pork ribs w/mashed garlic- omg! Beef broccoli and crisp shrimp balls. Vegetable egg roll. Service was wonderful- friendly and quick ! Prices were reasonable. You see many Asian families enjoying along with us- so yeah! Sorry no pic because we devoured everything ?”
“each of our servers were very attentive, smiling and engaged. we had a belated birthday for a friend and they made it special for him. appreciate it...a definite place to go next time I am in San Jose..”

“My daughter and I absolutely love the Restaurant .we visit every week, and it’s become our favorite spot for delicious meals. The moment we walk in, we’re greeted with a warm, inviting atmosphere, but it’s the food that keeps us coming back.
Every dish we’ve tried has been outstanding. My daughter’s favorite is the Eggplant Fish dish, and I always look forward to the it. Each bite is full of flavor, perfectly cooked, and made with fresh ingredients. The balance of taste in every dish is just incredible, and the portions are generous . We can’t recommend it· enough if you’re looking for a place with consistently mouthwatering food. It’s our weekly go-to, and we always leave happy and satisfied.”
“Small place, about 25 table seats and 4 bar seats. 5 beer taps, full bar and a nice menu focusing on pizza. Locally owned, with a light boxing theme (mostly in the pictures on the wall). I only had a beer this visit, but the pizza, meatballs, and wings looked and smelled really good.”
“Some of the best flavored lattes I've ever had and this is coming from a big coffee drinker! I ordered the seasonal corn latte today and enjoyed the corn shaped gummy that came with my latte. The latte itself didn't have a strong taste of corn, so the gummy helped enhance that flavor. However, the latte was very well made. I ordered it with oat milk and it was rich, not too acidic, not sour, not sugary, well-balanced, nutty, with no bitterness or unpleasant aftertaste. There is a very drinkable quality about their lattes and reminds me of a butter cookie secretly made with a bit of coconut oil (the lattes here have a secret ingredient for sure). Looking forward to trying the black sesame flavor next!”
“Somisomi is such a treat! The taiyaki and soft serve combinations are amazing. I love that you can choose from so many flavors and toppings to make it your own. The taiyaki is always warm and perfectly crispy, and the soft serve is super creamy. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is fun, making it a great spot to enjoy something unique and delicious. Highly recommend for anyone with a sweet tooth!””
“We have a wonderful time, Thanks so much to Joe our server and Edison the Gelato artist, for making our wedding anniversary dinner totally MEMORABLE!!!
Dietary restrictions: I am gluten intolerant and I was very well accommodated it
Parking: Thanks for your great job”
“My friend and I went solely to try the chawanmushi because I was craving it but ended up getting the omakase. Needless to say it was amazing!! Our appetizer was a sashimi salad (8/10 perfect amount of acidity in the dressing just wish there was a little more salad), clam miso soup (7.5/10 did not skimp on the clams but that lead to a little bit of shell in the soup), and chawanmushi (10/10 BETTER THAN I COULDVE EVER IMAGINED). The omakase was presented beautifully. The wasabi was fresh and had an amazing nutty flavor. Overall this was an amazing experience and I will definitely be coming back!!”
“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.”
“Good experience Very good waiter/waitresses. Very good music Very good grupos Food was delicious Drinks were so refreshing I will go back all the time and recommend anyone who haven’t been there to go”
“The brisket is tender and juicy. Our go to comfort food with large portions. I love the open patio dining too.”
“I can’t believe how good the waffle chicken sandwich was! Loved it from the first bite to the last bite! Great atmosphere. Great seating and customer service!
Kid-friendliness: Jumping Jack House for kids with seating directly across from the seating area for parents/guardians to watch their kids.”
“My favorite place for Sushi rolls. The spicy rolls are really spicy and just the way I love it. This place should be super famous already. My favorites are the Ninja roll and the Triple X roll. Actually a lot more are great here. Never disappointed. Always love the food here.”
“Excellent food! Highly recommend this restaurant. The waiter was friendly as were all the staff. We will definitely be back!❤️”
“This restaurant deserves to be known by more people!" I was truly surprised by the quality of the food and service here. I will recommend this place to my friends and family❤️”
“Good ambience, great food. Loved the family vibe. Feels like eating in a cozy eatery in Osaka.”
“Cute place with super friendly staff. Food is large portions and super delicious. Has lunch deal as well which is nice. Bulgogi is amazing. The staff is so friendly and ensures you always have side items and checks in. Food is massive. So great for sharing. My favorite Korean place.”
“Dumplings were really really good! Especially the soup dumplings. We tried the Dan Dan noodles and I didn't quite like it because of the spice that was used.”
“This restaurant is a gastronomical wonder. Fusion Dishes . Very tasty and visually appealing. Great Ingredients. Fresh and simply authentic.”
“Great food and even better service. Pawan single handedly maintains the entire front of the store and does a phenomenal job. This place is far from my house so I visit rarely. 3 months between my previous visit and today's visit and he remembers exactly what I would order. Greets me, guesses my order before I say it, and gets it. Great job. And the food is excellent too- very flavorful and well prepared.”
“The sushi is so fresh it melts in your mouth. It’s so good. It’s a quaint almost hole in the wall type place but it’s clean and the people are friendly and attentive. It’s a definite must if you like sushi. Prices are reasonable and a tiny bit high on some dishes but it’s worth it. I will be going back again and I’m sure lots of times 😋”
“The best sushi ever, can’t wait to go back to San José to eat there Best regards Charlie Marco”
“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.”
“..finally had a chance to try the new restaurant, wonderful!!”
“A True Gem!
I recently discovered El Camarón de Sinaloa, and it’s an absolute gem. The chips are made fresh and served with a delicious homemade salsa that sets the tone for an incredible meal. I ordered the shrimp ceviche, which was fresh and bursting with flavor, served with a generous stack of tostadas.
While I didn’t try the sushi, it looked amazing and is definitely on my list for next time. The garlic shrimp plate was another standout, especially with the homemade corn tortillas that added a special touch.
If you’re looking for authentic, flavorful Mexican seafood, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommend!
Parking: Parking is behind the restaurant”
“Good food. Good service, even though there were less vegetarian options they gave us Burger with veggie patty and vegetarian pasta. Burger with veggie patty was really good.”
“I’ve eaten here twice with a wide sampling of dishes and Devine is absolutely mind blowing. Their mixtures of flavors is truly a beautiful form of art……and I don’t think I’ve ever said that about any restaurant! Goat cheese and caramel? It’s now a go to for our own charcuterie board at home……Herb infused brittle and cheese? I need to have more! It is truly perfection! Last night we enjoyed their four course meal (i highly suggest two people get their own and split, there’s two choices for the salad/soup, main, and dessert, you don’t want to miss out on anything!). Every bite we took had us stop in awe. Devine is a gem! We even loved that the employees/owners come with laughs and personality. It’s a fun and light environment that added so much more to our experience. As the place got busy, our waiters didn’t waver in his attention for anyone! We appreciated that since we’re aware that everyone is still getting up to speed post pandemic, but Devine didn’t miss a beat! 🙌Cannot wait to come back! (Picture was after we had dug in🤣)”
“Always great Food!!!! One of San Jose’s Best Restaurants!!!!”

“First time after a referral and it did not disappoint! The food was fresh and delicious. The atmosphere was clean and modern. The staff were so nice and came by multiple times to check on us. I had the Happy Together roll and a Saba hand roll which were so full of flavor. Will definitely be coming back!”
“Good Menu options, the food was prepared well and served in no time. The service was really good, waiters were very understanding and accomodative to our vegetarian/vegan needs.”
“We always prefer this place for boba tea. Galaxy core is my favorite. They have good ambiance and parking space available. Good and quick service. Would definitely recommend it for any boba lovers”
“From the moment we stepped into La Catalana, we were transported to an authentic Spanish-Catalan experience. The atmosphere exudes warmth, passion, and attention to detail, making it the perfect place for a memorable evening. 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. As community leaders, we wholeheartedly recommend this hidden gem to everyone. La Catalana is more than a restaurant—it’s an experience filled with passion, culture, tradition, and heart. We have found a new favorite spot, and more importantly, a new friend in Monserrat and her team.”
“Great service, food was awesome!! Thank you Jasmine, (our waitress) was Friendly, and helpful.”
“One of the best places to have a big party. The banquet rooms are spacious; you can seat up to 160 guests. I’ve hosted 2 events here already - my parents’ 50th anniversary in 2014 and my 50th birthday this year. Easy process to reserve the space & select menu. Great customer service from all staff.”
“Had our holiday company dinner this year at Elements after trying it one night just before they closed. It’s in a strip mall off of Almaden in South San Jose. But once you walk inside, it feels classy with a big glass wine cellar to the right, and an open kitchen towards the back. The restaurant is family-owned and operated. The chef and his father both work there, with possibly more family working other positions. It was packed with patrons on a Friday night.
Their fusion cuisine is quite unique in that it is more French and Western than Vietnamese. So there are dishes such as Salmon Wellington that you would never see at a Vietnamese restaurant. For appetizers we ordered fried softshell crab, spring rolls and green salad. All solid in terms of taste and freshness.
For entrees, each person at our table ordered a different dish. I ordered the Salmon Wellington, which was nicely breaded, in a plate of cream. There was a thick cheese inside the breading surrounding the perfectly cooked salmon. I tried the Australian rack of lamb, also well cooked and seasoned.
The desserts were not quite on the level of the entrees. My colleagues had to chip away at the peach sorbet because it was frozen solid. The chocolate cake was spongy and tasty, but the ice cream on top was ordinary.
The drink menu was somewhat of a surprise in that they didn’t have any cocktails. Unsurprisingly, they had a wide variety of wine and some beer, but I had expected some creative cocktails given the food menu but I guess I didn’t see a bar there.
If you happen to be on the south side and want to have a unique French-Vietnamese meal, I recommend Elements.
Parking: Strip mall parking lot.”
“We saw the ad on fb and browsed through photos on Google maps. We decided to dine there yesterday and the service is very nice, fast turnaround and prices are very reasonable. It’s a gem.”
“One of the better pizza options in San Jose! We’ve ordered a couple of times and it’s been either really good or just mediocre. Convinced it has to do with the chef that night but if they get everybody up to the same quality bar, the place will be perfect.”
“I love “Tomo Sushi”. Been going there for at least 20 years. Product is always fresh, Anthony, the owner is the chef. The ambiance is superb lots of variety and professionally done. You owe it to yourself and your family yo try Tomo Sudhi. You will be glad you did”
“AMAZING, DELICIOUS, AUTHENTIC
this restaurant is the definition of a hidden gem. Knew it was a good restaurant when our friends said that they dined here weekly (and they're from cheng du so they know what's up)
Super clean and stylish restaurant space with prompt service, which complimented the incredible food.
We got three dishes, but their fried coated tofu was mouthwateringly delicious. Each bit gave a crisp texture that collapsed into a juicy savory center that oozed into a beautifully umami sauce. The outside was seasoned too for exploding flavor every single bite. Get it for sure (包浆豆腐). I did not exaggerate how good it was.
I honestly think their hot bowls could be better seasoning wise but I'm not complaining with the amount of portions they served up. Honestly kind of hard to find a place with such a friendly price. Very reasonable indeed.
Overall this restaurant is epic. We're going to be regulars from now on.”
“Good beer and food here. I got the blue cheese and bacon burger with a side of fries and Guinness. Very good value worth every penny. There is no parking at this location. I had to park at Westfield parking lot.”
“This place was so good! The food came out hot and fresh and the service was excellent. They have chili oil and soy sauce at every table to enjoy with your meal. The garlic noodles were delicious and I paired that with the lamb dumplings which were mouth watering! Their hot sake is delicious to which compliments any choice.”
“An Authentic Chettinadu South Indian Restaurant in South San Jose with a good ambience, courtesy & no doubt authentic flavorful cuisine was to my wife & my heart’s delight, today evening, visiting SaaPaaDuu”
“Affordable and delicious southeast Asian and Chinese food! The staff are incredibly friendly, and the food is delicious with beautiful dishes.
We had the Singapore Stir Fried Noodles, the Pad Thai, and the Mango Eggplant.
They also take food allergies very seriously and can accommodate dishes accordingly.
Parking can be a little difficult with only 6-7 spaces in front of the restaurant.”
“One PHO place in the Bay Area. The Pho House Special is so good. Shrimp (jumble) Garlic noodle is the best. The spring rolls are always good. Very fresh and tasty. Modern Restaurant Concepts insides. Perfect place for private party.”
“the best pizza in San Jose. lots of toppings that others do not have like fresh baby spinach,artichoke hearts,feta cheese,sun dried tomatoes. and thier crust is great! not greasy and not too thin or thick. the owners/operators are really nice people and delivery always comes early. give them a try!”
“What a great find on the last day of our trip to California. The space was beautiful, the staff was great and the food was delicious! The chicken was delicious and filling and fresh. The Cioppino was fabulous!!! The garlic bread that came with it was delicious. I had a green salad to start and it too was excellent. Great glass of Zinfandel. And the flourless almond cake with pineapple and vanilla gelato also delicious. They focus on fresh, quality ingredients. Well done!”
“Blossom and Bourbon is a fantastic new restaurant with a welcoming vibe and a beautifully designed interior. The atmosphere is warm and stylish, perfect for a special night out. Their lobster bisque is rich and creamy, with a deep, satisfying flavor. I also tried the lamb chops, which were tender and perfectly seasoned, with a delicious blend of herbs and spices that made each bite unforgettable. The staff was friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. If you’re looking for an elegant dining spot with incredible food, Blossom and Bourbon is definitely worth a visit!”
“Went to the Breakfast Club 1-13- 24 around 8:00 am, seated quickly and placed our order. They had their doors open for a large delivery ,temp out side was 39-40 degrees and delivery took over thirty min., doors still open and no food. We felt they have no respect for their customers and left. Management is a joke.”
“I really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. the handmade flour tortillas are so delicious. The service was wonderful.”
“We ordered Southwest Winchester BBQ for a company lunch of 60 people. It was a fantastic experience from beginning to end. This is an establishment that is there for you!! From my first phone call to our delivery and set up these people take care of their customers. Thank you so much. The food was fantastic!! BBQ ribs, Tritip, chicken, Pork and hot links, potato salad (yum!!), Mac and cheese and coleslaw with plenty of garlic bread. DELICIOUS!! I was so proud of my luncheon. Thank you!!!”
“Went to Udon Mugizo with my family tonight on New Year’s Eve. Our food arrived within 5-15 minutes, which was must faster than expected, especially on a holiday. The beef combo and Niku Udon didn’t have a lot of meat or vegetables. The service was incredibly good, and we even chatted with our server!”
“The only complaint is that, it's hard to customize your meal. They are not very open to taking thing's off or substitutions. The flavor of the food is absolutely delicious!!! Second time there in this month.”

“GREAT garoto coffee...the espresso with foamy milk.. so smooth, not bitter nor too strong. The portuguese cheese and prosciutto sandwich was good but next time will not get it toasted as the cold cheese itself is wonderful! the Pasteis di nata are the best littleegg tarts as I found them to be a bit dry, but then again get another coffee! Owner was so friendly and the place adequate for being an older establishmen.”
“Half-pound (and up) fresh ground chuck burgers perfectly cooked. Plenty of menu options like turkey, bison, ostrich & more. The fries are excellent, and you load up your burger with all the fixins. Simply the best burger in the South Bay - even better that what Kirks USED to be.”

“The first time I walked in, absolutely stunning. The decor, the food, all amazing. Their pandan waffles were thick and delicious (thank goodness for the buy three get one free deal), the boba was absolutely delicious, and the place gave a homey and calm atmosphere with wooden accents. 10/10, would go again :)”
“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.”

We had the extreme pleasure to meet Chef Yerika Munoz, I disclosed my sincerest appreciation for the cuisine and representation of Mexican cuisine, as it is my heritage. I plan on bringing my family because of the amazing and memorable experience we had!”
“The very friendly barista helped me understand the menu! The Mexican-inspired drinks were so fun and unique. I ended up going with a Duvalin latte with oat milk and it was delicious! Definitely give this place a try if you're sick of your everyday coffee options. The drinks are full of sugar but make a good treat.”
