“Best ribs ever. Dining room is uninviting. Staff is wonderful - helpful, friendly. They seem to work well together and were busy taking care of the place when we visited. The hot sauce is HOT ???.”
“Wow! I genuinely don’t know if I’ve had better Chinese food. There were so many moments where I was like, “oh this is how it’s supposed to taste like?” It was divine. Best cooked meat. Best spices. Cooked to perfection!Dietary restrictions: We had someone with gluten restrictions in our party and there was plenty she could eat when they made it gluten free! Best food ever!”
“We love this restaurant and come frequently, never have to wait, the food is good and the staff is great, especially Edgar. He’s always there to get us drinks, the best seats, whatever we need. He is a very hard worker, always in a good mood, and a great server! Had the pulled pork special today, delicious! Edgar & Maria took great care of us,”
“Happy Hour is theeeee best!!!!! Very reasonable prices on food as well as beer with a great selection. I found My bar in the San Jose area!! The bartenders are so nice. The Owner is very interpersonal with the customers, this is an amazing place to jus eat, drink a pint or two and watch sports. The regulars are so nice to. I was welcomed with open arms here. The food is AMAZING as well! SHOUT OUT TO THE KITCHEN STAFF!! SHOUTS OUT TO GABE BEHIND THE BAR AS WELL!!! I recommend this place to anyone near and far!!”
“Anything and everything, great. Quick pick up for pasta, delicious. And them pork chop cuts are no joke, what a great cast iron dinner we had with it! Beer & snack selections hit the spot, no frills.Parking: Plenty of parking across the street if you're just picking up, but best not to meet up with people in separate cars to eat there.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Denver Omelet - 4 eggs so it's huge, with hash browns, toast & coffee. The omelet and hash browns came out semi-warm, but I think that was the service. I also shouldn't have an empty cup of coffee or water to refill. For their prices, I'd prefer they semi hover. Mid-morning, they were not busy.”
“Best thin crust pizza around! Fresh and perfectly cooked toppings are always loaded to the edges, and the crust is always crispy.This visit we started with the Chick Pick and added bell peppers and garlic. I don’t think I’ve ever complemented bell peppers on pizza before, but these were perfectly diced and tender but still with a bite. Cicero’s Special is always good; I always love how fresh the olives taste.Highly recommend this place if you love crispy thin crust pizza!”
“Great food, good service. Nice place. More expensive than most Mexican restaurants in our area. Will go back. My wife asked for tomatoes on her tacos, that did not happen. I asked for a little lemon for my meal, had to ask twice. It would have been nice to have salt and pepper at the table. I still gave a 20% tip just because I am nice. For $72.00 including tip for two people is a bit overpriced. I only had ice tea and my wife had water. Like I said we loved the food so will try again. Would love to have this restaurant as our go to Mexican place. Will have to see”

“It has been a while since I went to Peter's Bakery. I only came for a piece of pie, but I walked out with a mini lemon meringue, apple square, oatmeal raisin cookies, blueberry pastry, 2 brownies, and some rock chip cookies. ?”
“Got the wrong order in the drive through & manager who was there at the time handled the situation very efficiently and very quickly. very friendly :)12/27/24 11:37”
“Being a vegetarian, loved that they have many options in veg dishes. Interesting drinks. A cool hangout spot for drinks and good food. Also liked that it is kind of self service. Has lot of dips and toppings.”

“More like Nothing Bundt ICING cakes have more icing than anything else.I'm sure the cakes can be better done, but for now let try to actually have more cake. I love your cakes but I don't want to have to feel like I lost money after seeing this big ball of icing behind.”
“Aqui of Willow Glen is an institution of the South Bay by itself . In all these years it has never ceased to offer the best menu with impeccable service and unbeatable prices . A must-try if you like Mexican food !”

“Very consistent. Always the best service and really good food. Comfort & hardy food with delicious breakfast options. Love the Swedish pancakes with the special butter and really enjoy all the sandwich options as well as salad options. My son loves the breakfast tacos or chorizo special scramble.”
“I've been a regular customer for about 50 years. This is the last one still open. Sadly, the landlord isn't renewing their lease. So April 23, 2024 is supposed to be their last day open. The place is always busy now since the announcement. The staff is friendly, the food comes up hot and fresh. Our favorite is the ribeye sandwich with a baked potato. Reasonably affordable.”
“Tomato Thyme is a Willow Glen dinner staple. The vibe inside is warm and inviting. Each table comes with a jar of crayons and you can draw on the paper placemats. This can provide the table with a conversation starter or a fun round of tic tac toe with a sibling.We ordered the calamari appetizer, sole piccata and spaghetti alfredo. The calamari was light, crispy, and infused with garlic. The sole piccata did not disappoint! It was soft, savory, and melted in my mouth. The spaghetti alfredo could have used a little more pizzazz but it went down easily as well!”

“This place has interesting Italian options. Not only excellent food and deserts they have peciality waters and beer too. The pizza is not for me but the ravioli are the best I have ever had. It's like a small deli in Italy. Love love love this place.”
“Cutest little coffee shop! Lattes are delicious, Mexican mocha is a bit sweet and the bagels are freshly made that morning! Veggie burrito is AMAZING because the tortilla is so warm and chewy. Scones are also yummy as is the oat ”
“I read one review here with a person saying the food here was tasteless. They are probably used to the overly salty Burrito Factory stuff. The Chile Verde here at Playitas is amazing. I have lived in San Jose since the 70's and grandmas ChilI Verde here is the best. But i like everything on the menu. Not many traditional small mexican resteraunts left in San Jose anymore. There used be so many everywhere.”
“This place is our favorite place to have a breakfast, everything is always clean and staff is very friendly. I recommend having spicy mushroom galette, all hot and iced drinks are high quality.”
“There was a spider on my table when I went last Sunday for breakfast but this was a first and had never happened to me there before. They should enhance cleaning.”
“Food was just as I remember I haven't been in a long time....prices have gone up as usual but overall I'd recommend it. We got seated immediately but we were a party of two ...that's not always the case....we didn't really get service just took orders and dropped it off and we had to keep asking other employees walking by for what we wanted....those employees were very helpful so it was fine in the end....it's been a date night spot for me for the last 30 years ?”
“Love the place. I am a regular.The lady who makes my bagel has a killer smile. Sonya, her name. She puts her heart into preparing your food and hands it to you with the sweetest smile. God bless you.”
“My meal was excellent. I ordered the chicken marsala dressed with mushrooms and steamed vegetables. The portion of food, in my opinion, was just right. While you wait, you're offered two complimentary pieces of warm bread. The environment is cozy, and the staff was friendly. Before I left, the chef came out to chat with the customers. Nice guy, extremely funny. Prices are fair compared to every other inflated restaurant. I recommend giving this place a try.”
“Love the simple atmosphere here. It's not loud, full of working class folk. The most expensive item I saw, I think, was $21-22$, for NY steak and eggs.There are a lot of choices on the menu for breakfast and lunch. They also have a senior and kids menu.Service was a tad slow, but they kept me updated the whole time, and whenever I asked or addressed something, they took care of it immediately. Super attentive people!Next time I come here, I'll post some pics.Parking: Small plaza parking.Kid-friendliness: The have a kids menuWheelchair accessibility: No stairs, all flat, they can move tables and chairs to accomodate you.”
“Beautiful 1st birthday custom cake. Provided a design we liked and they made the exact cake.The cake not only looked good but tasted so good. Very responsive owners and excellent service.”
“I had the french toast and bill's original mimosa. I am not much of a mimosa fan but it was really delicious and I. Highly recommend it as for their french toast it was incredible.. Also our server was very accommodating and fast.”
“One of my go-to Mexican restaurants. The food is pretty good as the service. Would give it 5 stars if it were open on Sundays being the only time I can get there, but at least a company cares for their employees to give them Sundays off. Prices went up but still cheaper than most. Usually get the 2 taco plate which is stuffed with meat.”
“I have been to many Habits in my life, and this is one of the best ever! Big props to all the workers at this Habit; they were very friendly, efficient, and they prepared the food perfectly. Habit food in general is always quite good, but I feel like at this location it was even better than usual. I recommend the classic charburger, fries, and any of their shakes! ?”
“Breakfast club is always a solid choice for breakfast. I love their burrito and club sandwich. Today we went in I decided to try something new, fried steak breakfast. It wasn’t as good as the other items I usually get.”

“Brandon W. The manager took excellent care of us. We ate wayyyy too much. It was totally worth it, though. I come here a lot and got to take my parents for the first time. Hope to visit again soon. Compliments to the chef!”
“Black Angus used to be a staple pre CV. We went recently and our party was so happy about our steak meal and the Campfire Special for two. We know this is not a gouging, overinflated steak house, and we love that! We had filet mignon, and one was overcooked. The server made it right. The sides, dessert, and apps were .Bay area folks come out and support the last of American style steakhouse/cuisine. We are lacking choices of mid range steak and seafood houses.Vegetarian options: Get a salad, get sides like broccoli, potatoes , and such.Dietary restrictions: Yep!”
“Want a real pizza? Legends has it. They don't perforate the crust before your pie goes in the oven so you get a soft yet crisp crust. They have a unique lineup of specialty pizzas and a selection of sauces to mix it up. The staff is friendly and helpful. The place presents clean and has sports bar vibes but that is part of the theme as "Legends" in sports, baseball prominent, I believe. Their menu boasts all your favorite Pizza pairings; wings, bread sticks and salads. I don't think they deliver but I am certain your favorite food delivery app will pick it up for you... don't know not a fan of outside food delivery services. Which is a good thing because if you're eating pizza you need to get up off the couch and get some exercise anyway. Ask me how I know. Thank you Legends Pizza Co. Please continue what you are doing you make a great product.”
“Vegetarian options: Most of the pasta dishes can be ordered without meatDietary restrictions: Gluten free rotini with shrimp scampi is a favorite!Kid-friendliness: Pretty typical lot size plus it's in a strip mall with additional parking and a mall across the street. Parking should never be an issue.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible”
“Great location and chain. The food was tasty, the service was quick, and the staff was very friendly. Prices were reasonable. Portions not overwhelming.Parking: Big mall location, so plenty easy to find parking”
“We had a delicious lamb burger, which are difficult to find and cook well. Great service and prices. Definitely on our list of places to return to, even if it's a 45-minute drive for us, well worth it ?”
“This pizza place is amazing! Delicious pizzas, salads and appetizers!The owner is always there to make sure the clients get the best quality service!I highly recommend this place!”
“I visited Everest Cuisine in San Jose and had a great dining experience. The food was very good, and they had a wide variety of authentic, flavorful dishes. The staff was great, and the portion size was generous. They even gave us free masala chai while we waited for our take-out order, which was a nice touch. If you are looking for a great dining experience, I recommend this restaurant.”
“The pizza was super tasty. Tried vege pizza and tandoori pizza.The place was not too crowded at 630PM. The location is nice .Nice place for a small get together.”
“Orchestria will be added to our frequently visited restaurants. Plenty of parking surrounding restaurant. Nostalgic home feel with a unique musical experience. Drinks are limited to wine and non alcoholic drinks but there is something for everyone. Fun place to go with out of town guests or music appreciation friends. Food is plentiful too.”
“Friendly service, delicious food! Wish I had more time to try more from their extensive drink selection but was only passing through. Cute spot for a date ?Vegetarian options: All vegan, cool reading material/posters displayed”
“We've never dined in, but we've done takeout multiple times. This place does truly traditional Human food, which is to say that if it has a spicy pepper ?️ by it, be prepared for the heat! For a base starch, we love their chow mein and fried rice. Their veggie spring rolls are a great appetizer. For this time, we tried the Basil eggplant (loved it), Mongolian chicken, and Hunan bean curd. Both chicken and tofu were quite spicy, but the flavors and textures were all great. They were so friendly when I picked up the food and we will probably eat in next time to try that out.”
“Came to pick up lunch quick from work. Ordered a bit ahead and it was ready at the pick up shelves. Very easy to find my bag and overall easy in and easy out.Got the not so fried chicken sandwich which I actually really loves. Perfect sizing and crunch to it.Also got the avocado and quinoa salad, not big into salads but thought I'd try it as it's the best selling salad on door dash but just thought it was ok maybe missing a protein to wrap it all together.Overall will definitely be back to try more sandwiches”
“Take it from a Hong Kong kid...these are seriously legit zongzi that taste just like the cantonese ones I grew up with. Definitely above your typical market rates, but I promise these will be true to the OG flavors. It's mostly a food pick-up type of service where you walk up to a shared space and ring a doorbell to have an aunty bring out your stuff.Online ordering was how I did it, but you can also call/text an order over the phone. The ordering process is a bit unusual in that you have to plan these ahead of time (by about 3-days or so depending on time of week) then wait for a confirmation text on the day of. Unfortunately, impromptu cravings must likely be held at bay. Sometimes you can short-notice stuff if they have leftovers, but that's defintely a gamble. With either planning or luck, you'll then walk off with a hefty bag of deliciousness. You can have the option of getting them freshly cooked or frozen (for stocking up).The zongzi are well packaged and tightly wrapped with color-codings to the string to separate the fillings from each other. It's a bit cryptic, but you'll notice those correspond with the pictures on their ordering site. Descriptions of the fillings are true to their amount and pretty well packed with goodness (none of the mostly-rice-zongzi here).After cracking the first one open and taking my first bite, it was like that Ratatouille moment with Anton having flashbacks to his childhood (but like the Chinese version). Filled with delicious aromas and rich succulent glory, with not a dry spot in (culinary) sight. If that hasn't convinced you to at least try these buggers, I'm not sure what will!”
“I love the atmosphere - cozy and elegant. :) And delicious food, and the owner Joy is so friendly with fun tips about visiting Thailand! Thanks so much. :) Great vegetarian options - I just asked to substitute tofu instead of meat. Also the food was mild, which was great for me, but they also do increasing levels of spiciness up to "Thai Hot" if desired!Vegetarian options: Great vegetarian options - I just asked to substitute tofu instead of meat (even though that wasn't listed as an option, they did it easily for me).”

“Came in on a Thursday afternoon. Was only 2 other people at first but then it started to pick up and fill up. Food came out quick. The Brioche French Toast was amazing. Service was excellent as well. Jeremy was a great server, was super attentive, and always made sure to check in on me to see if I needed anything even though he was the only server and had plenty tables. He was the same way with the other tables as well.”

“Brunch here is great. Omelette always the best. It’s good that they have healthy option in their menus. French toast is delicious as recommended. Clean and nice ambiance. Staff were polite and give us an excellent service. Good to dine in here all the time.”
“I was blown away by the great vibe, cool surroundings, and top notch customer service. Very fast and friendly bartender and kitchen manager. Live music on a Thursday! I had a blast with friends sipping wine, eating, and dancing. The pool in the background looks awesome as well. Highly recommend if you are in this area. Hidden gem.”
“Late post: My company has used Bay Area Ice Cream Catering for ice cream social events and it's been a hit each time. The ice cream is amazing and the toppings are perfect. Employees are like kids in a candy store - they are our go-to each time!”
“i had a really wonderful experience with the server named Armando, he was very helpful and really kind and overall really went the extra mile for my visit. the rest of the staff the night of 03/06 was also very sweet, i was here to study and get work done for classes and they made sure i sat somewhere quiet and gave me good service. thank you armando!”

“The best fast food burgers in the area!!!The burgers were very tasty and fresh, and the fries were hot and really goodThe staff was very nice and friendly.The place is clean.Great value for money.Comfortable location, lots of parking.Definitely will come back!”
“Good service, the food was good, quiet atmosphere to eat with the family, very pleasantParking: You can park wherever you like as there are several spaces to choose from as parking is sufficient.Kid-friendliness: Yeah”
“This is how diner food should be: hot, quick, and completely indulgent. Chicken is fried and comes with fries AND a side of pancakes if that's what you want. Drinks were cold and refilled as requested. You could even over here the waiter talking to a few regulars at the counter so you just knew you were in for a hearty meal and good service at a fair price.Parking: Good size parking lot. Go around the back to get access to it”
“Had it again, and a little better this time. 5 stars. First time was a lil sloppy, aswell as i was a little sloppy tbh. Honest review, from a sober patron; nice burger”
“Last visit we found that the buns were different and totally made for a big mess, the buns just disintegrated to the point it was knives and forks time. Flavor was as usual, ok. $30 for a Superstar and Chicken Club sandwich, onion rings and zucchini rounds. Considering I can get a sit down meal with better food.”

“Landed @ SJC on Southwest at Gate 36 , we were walking towards terminal, the Yo-Kai Express sign for ramen and rice bowls caught my eyes, I was expecting counter service but noticed the vending machine. My son and I thought it was so cool, I've seen social media post on these machines in Japan. Therefore, I was super excited to get to give it a try. I assumed this machine is new here at SJC, I recall another customer mentioned it's new, she wanted to give it a try but didn't have enough time before her flight. "Disclaimer", Before ordering you will have to consent to the product that is served hot and the soup content may scald, to avoid serious harm you are aware of using this product. From experience the bowl of noodles really comes out HOT, so please be careful. There are alot of noodle soup choices to choose from, even rice bowls. Taiwan beef noodle soup, Tantanmen, Black garlic tonkatsu ramen with soft boil egg, vegan udon, Tokyu shoyu ramen, spicy kimchi pork ramen, & Vietnamese beef pho. Some items were sold out. The prices for ramen varies and will tell you once you click on the item. We ended up trying the spicy kimchi pork bowl which is $13.99, total with tax $15.30, paid via credit card, my son and I was surprised at how this machine's ability to make our ramen. It was making a cool sound, while the machine was preparing our bowls. The only junk part about enjoying this bowl, it is hard to eat sitting down, w/no tables. We were lucky we saw an empty counter which we got to set the bowl down for photos. ( it is covered with plastic and lid) I love the little utensil kit with mini chop sticks, fork, spoon, and napkin, comes in a box. Overall, the bowl came out as pictured, kim chi, half cooked egg, pork belly, it tasted pretty good, a little on the salty side. I loved that it was piping hot, compared to some ramen shop the ramen comes out lukewarm and the broth is hot coming out of a vending machine. Wow! I can't wait to check out this machine again when we fly out of SJC during our future trips. I want to see how the rice bowl is and try the other ramen flavors. Yo-Kai Express is between Gate 33-34, kind of out of the way if you are not boarding near this gate, but worth the experience to give it a try. I am glad we got to check out this vending machine for the very first time, Technology is super cool!!”
“I really like this McDonald's,. The food is prepared correctly, it is clean and the staff is excellent. Unfortunately it is the must EXPENSIVE McDonald's in the area. The Sausage & Egg McMuffin is now $5.49. About $2 more in less than 2-years and simply too expensive. I respect their choice to raise prices, just as I'm sure they'll respect mine to go elsewhere.”

“I can't handle onions nor shellfish and they made all my items fresh just for me. The wait was definitely worth the ability to digest my food without any allegic reactions, and all 8 dishes ordered were absolutely perfect!Vegetarian options: You can modify dishes so that you don't have to worry about specific ingredients, and even make a vegetarian version of some non-vegetarian dishes... for the meat price or sometimes a little bit extra, in the case of tofu substitution.Dietary restrictions: You can modify dishes so that you don't have to worry about specific ingredients, and even ask them to please make a particular meal with dishes cleaned specifically for this meal and all methods available to avoid cross-contamination, but if you do not have your EPI pen or other mitigation efforts ready, you should always stay on the safe side.I, however, have NEVER had any problems with this establishment whenever I was avoiding peanuts, shellfish, onions, nightshades, etc.Parking: There are about 8 spots directly outside the particular storefront but many, many more spots in the parking lot. Only on Christmas Day did I have to wait 7 minutes to get a parking spot.Kid-friendliness: The environment is good without super loud music, and babies can even sleep if the other children aren't too loud.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible sidewalk and door, but a narrow bathroom with accessibility features.”

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Golden Buda, and the experience left an indelible impression. The culinary journey at this Chinese restaurant transcends the ordinary, offering a delightful blend of authenticity and superior taste.Golden Buda excels in delivering a menu that boasts a comprehensive selection of traditional Chinese dishes. What sets them apart is not just the variety but the exceptional preparation that elevates each dish beyond the ordinary.

“Thank you Charlie! I visited the shop today to collect the cake for which I placed the order on phone. He was so helpful throughout and let me try the sample(was too shy to ask)The cheesecake tasted amazing btw! We got the raspberry one. Will try the coffee one next time soon!”
“Let’s talk about their lunch special. It may be the best deal around, especially against chains like the panda X. you get freshly prepped dish plus rice and soup. so in many ways far superior deal. and it taste good. nothing to backflip over but its good, huge portions, and the broccoli was crisp, not limp. great meal in my opinion. check the video evidence!”
“There was this young women working in the front she had green streaks and some piercings. She was really nice and offered us a promotion for BOGO by signing up and gave us a punch card.Their cakes are always delicious and the people here always nice. I love coming here for a sweet treat.”
“Found it through Google search and picked based on ratings and was not disappointed. Casual lunch place.Vegetarian options: Grilled veggies and tofu fajitas is what I had. Good portion sizes and tasty. It was served with rice, black beans and guacamole.”
“I've been going here since high school 1990. This location use to be "Church's Chicken". I always loved the burritos and tacos here. I see it's also a favorite for many. This is the best location than other Super Taqueria.”
“My favorite is their coffee with cinnamon.And their chorizo and egg with nopale or cactus.Also thir tostada with beans and one overeasy egg and salsa ala carte. Delicious. For breakfast or lunch. Dont like their tortillas and other dishes that lack flavor, need more mexican!”
“Took my teenaged son and we had the messy burger. Although they had ALL the stuff to put on a burger you could think of in a salad bar type setting so you could add what and how much of what you wanted to your burger we added nothing and it was the best tasting burger in the bay area. I live in milpitas and it is worth the drive for their burgers!! Definitely recommend this as a must do for any foodie out there !!”
“Bacon and eggs. Plenty of bacon, eggs made properly. Hash browns were decent but not enough to write home about. Sourdough was just white bread; even the butter was bland”
“I'm not normally a cupcake fan, however one day I was near Frost Cupcake Factory and decided to pop in and try something.I was greeted by Aaron who has a great personality. He was hospitable and helpful. My one cupcake turned into four, thanks to Aaron's brilliance. I don't remember the flavors of all of them but these are the ones I do remember24 carrot is a delicious carrot cake base with a creamy cream cheese based frosting. It was sweet but not overly. The cake was moist and delicious. Then there was pumpkin spice which is a fall special. I didn't try this one as we all decided at my house to cut them in half for sharing. The feedback from family was that it was delicious. Then there was one that had a rich fudgey cake base and a delicious creamy coconut topping with some caramel drizzle. It reminded me of those zebra cookies I ate as a child. This was my favorite. It was very sweet so half was plenty for me.The last one was called caramel apple. Someone in my house swooped in on this one and said it was every bit appley and delicious. I have attached a picture of this one.All in all the flavors were a huge hit at my house and I will definately return.A huge thank you to Aaron for making my visit there a success.”

“Love the simple atmosphere here. It's not loud, full of working class folk. The most expensive item I saw, I think, was $21-22$, for NY steak and eggs.There are a lot of choices on the menu for breakfast and lunch. They also have a senior and kids menu.Service was a tad slow, but they kept me updated the whole time, and whenever I asked or addressed something, they took care of it immediately. Super attentive people!Next time I come here, I'll post some pics.Parking: Small plaza parking.Kid-friendliness: The have a kids menuWheelchair accessibility: No stairs, all flat, they can move tables and chairs to accomodate you.”
“Brandon W. The manager took excellent care of us. We ate wayyyy too much. It was totally worth it, though. I come here a lot and got to take my parents for the first time. Hope to visit again soon. Compliments to the chef!”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“I really, really enjoyed the food here! Our orders came out pretty quickly (ordered takeout), and the staff who helped us greeted us promptly, and was very professional.”
“This bar is a hidden gem. The staff if most certainly nothing less than perfect. The greeter and I had a great conversation about bars in Santa Cruz, they were fantastic. Catrina, Jose, Jacob and Maui were pleasant on several occasions. I was a server and manager for over 10 years at the most high profile restaurants (Morton’s for one, which is 12 steps of service) so I know exactly what I’m talking about. I’m sorry but the Asian woman at the bar was also great but I didn’t get her name. I told them my conditions (“this is the first time I’ve drank in a year, please make me something nice. It doesn’t have to be heavily alcohol just has to taste good”) They made me exactly what I wanted. It literally made me feel special. Jacob with the great conversations, Maui and Catrina with the prime mixology. Jose was awesome with being attentive. If you read this review, trust it was out of love at 5:14 AM. I appreciate them and I most definitely will be coming back.”
“Service was excellent. I got tacos de Al pastor and they were delicious. The salsas are also good, red one if you want some real heat. Sat under a nice shaded tent even though it was very hot and sunny it made it pleasant. Right next to JC Penny and the bus stop. Was hard to find at first for us. When you turn into Eastridge go right. Delicious!”
“Be prepared to wait upwards of 30-45min for your food. Going inside to order saves you about 10-15min or so vs sitting at drive through again depends on how long the line of cars are but Going inside to order doesn't save to much time.”
“We’ve been coming to Tony & Albas for several years. This is a family run business that has great food and even better customer service. We love coming here and it’s one of go to’s for family night dinners!”
“Good food. Felt like homemade food. Had bisi bele bath, kosambri, saru, veg sagu, roti and some payasam. Quantity was good! There is only take out here. We waited for about 30 mins. So anyone going here advisable to order before you go.”
“My wife and I have been ordering takeout from here since covid. We were exploring Italian restaurants for classic dishes such as lasagna, fettuccine Alfredo and spaghetti. We were never let down on any of those. However, one day we tried a small personal pepperoni pizza. We were absolutely blown away at how fresh and savory the ingredients were. The dough was amazing, flat, crispy and still somewhat fluffy. It wasn't soaked in oil and the cheese was possibly the best I've ever had on a pizza. Absolutely delicious and worth every penny. We recently tried their garlic lovers and combination. I cannot say enough about how much each ingredients flavors dance around on the tongue. If you ever want a quality pizza, this is definitely the place to visit.”
“You are walking around the neighborhood, catching the San Jose sunset and you come across a bar. Your friendly neighborhood bar.You walk in, greeted by friendly servers, eager to seat you. Instantly you feel welcomed and warm inside. You walk over to your seat, looking around, captivated by rustic vibes. The music, loud enough to appreciate and low enough to engage in friendly conversation. Glancing down at your menu, you see a variety of finger foods and drinks.You decide to enjoy a Margarita pizza. A yummy vegetarian option, covered in a sweet balsamic glaze. Your server comes to check in on you, they are full of smiles and service.Something about this bar gives you that safe, comfortable feeling, a place where you can watch a game or two, go on a date, read a book, make new friends and socialize. I 10/10 recommend this spot. They have events from time to time, live music, a variety of get togethers. Come alone or grab a group of friends. I’ve been here so many times in 2023, it’s became one of my frequent spot.”
“I was here when it was raining to meet a friend. There was no one else and a nice hot brew with a friend with the rain outside made for a nice visit. The staff was friendly and happy, it was clear they shared a nice camaraderie which is always nice to see and experience.”
“I've been to lots of bay area taquerias and this place has the best wet burrito I've ever had from any restaurant. Big burritos cheap prices. Everyone needs to try this place”
“This used to be a Burger King and awesomely they still have the drive-through going on but I have not utilized it yet for pho.They did a good job of shaping up the interior and the drab windows are even tinted with color now.I liked the broth of the beef pho and it came with a good amount of meat and green onions surprisingly. The noodle portion was on the small side.They add an automatic 10% service fee which is fine as I would at least tip that much but just FYI in case anyone didn't notice and take that into account before tipping more.”
“I ordered to go two- item bento box and salmon sashimi. The Salmon was cut right, fresh, and super delicious! I love the generous helping of wasabi as well and ginger”
“I’m a regular for their breakfast burrito in the morning ? place is always clean, staff is friendly and we share laughs, bathrooms key available upfront (no need to ask for it), and the horchata is so good ?”
“Bien buenos la neta, estuve buscando y jamás pensé que encontraría por aquí cercas, súper recomendables.. vivo lejos pero vendré más seguido!! Puro Sinaloa!!”
“This BK takes a bit longer, and there is no drive thru, but less food is made ahead of time. This location usually makes everything to order. It makes for better food.”
“I had the french toast and bill's original mimosa. I am not much of a mimosa fan but it was really delicious and I. Highly recommend it as for their french toast it was incredible.. Also our server was very accommodating and fast.”
“One of my go-to Mexican restaurants. The food is pretty good as the service. Would give it 5 stars if it were open on Sundays being the only time I can get there, but at least a company cares for their employees to give them Sundays off. Prices went up but still cheaper than most. Usually get the 2 taco plate which is stuffed with meat.”
“Breakfast club is always a solid choice for breakfast. I love their burrito and club sandwich. Today we went in I decided to try something new, fried steak breakfast. It wasn’t as good as the other items I usually get.”
Cheap Eats
“Good food, pretty standard but tasty mexican, big burritos! Clean kitchen. Quick service and popular. Cubano torta and chiliquiles burrito looked interesting. Pastor was a little bit sweet but still tasty. Home made tortillas ++”
“One of the few hometowns, small business owners, and American (it's a creed) donut shop still left standing! Fresh, wide selection, welcoming and appreciative for your business patronage.”
“Great food, good ambience and amazing prices. Their Veggie tacos and tostadas are really good. And the portions are decent. It’s a food truck’s taste in a restaurant. We love their orange and verde both sauces.We did not like the enchiladas so much. The veggie one atleast was bland and lackluster.Vegetarian options: Veggie tacos. TostadasParking: It’s in a plaza so the parking is plenty”
“Fantastic place in the south bay for a legit cup of espresso based drinks. The place gets real busy through the day with all tables occupied. One of the few places open until 6pm! The best part though are the baristas. Super cool, easy going, always eager to chat about coffee or anything. Great vibe. P.S: Parking can be difficult on weekends”
“I love the food that I've tried thus far, but there is almost always a busy signal when trying to call to place an order. It's for take-out only. Eggrolls are better in other locations, but their crab rangoons are very tasty, and their salt and pepper chicken wings are delicious. Just ask for non-spicy if you don’t like spicy food. This is a nice little mom-n-pop place for Chinese take-out that I recommend. They also do party trays.”
“Stevie's Bar & Grill in San Jose isn't just a bar, it's a sanctuary for the soul and a paradise for beer enthusiasts. Each time I return to San Jose, Stevie's is my go-to spot, a reliable haven where the beer flows as freely as the good times.With a draft beer selection that's second to none, Stevie's is like a grand library of brews, each one a story waiting to be savored. The attentive staff elevates the experience, making sure your glass is never empty and your spirits are always high.The vibe here is electric yet welcoming, a perfect backdrop for the delectable snackable treats they serve. And if you're in a crunch for time, the adjacent laundromat turns a chore into a chance for relaxation – sip and savor while you spin and rinse!Stevie's is more than a bar; it's a clever twist on the traditional, a gem that makes San Jose shine a little brighter.”
“A delightful locally owned coffee shop! The crepes are to die for; these were probably the best savory crepes I've ever had! I fully expect to dream about them tonight.The coffee was excellent as well, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming and full of treasures and antique coffee grinders. Heartbeat Cafe is a must if you're in San Jose!”
“This place is a vibe! Good music and good breakfast. I had the veggie quiche and that banana Chai awwww mah goodness it felt like a warm hug. I would stop by again. Was going to take it to go but glad I changed my mind and stayed for the ambiance.”
“Always great pizza, and nice people. Great selection of by-the-slice, the bacon chicken is the best, but you really can't go wrong.Cheesy bread is an amazing deal. Caesar salads are good too.Very kids friendly.”
“We had the chocolate mousse cake and I'm not a huge chocolate fan, but I loved it. Everybody in my family loved the cake. This is our new favorite bakery.”
“Love their veggie burrito. Well priced for the area and good topping salsas. A well-balanced burrito, good amount of food, and the perfect food coma - enough to know your full and need to chill and watch a training video while digesting but not hard enough where your head is dropping and putting you in the layoff list..Vegetarian options: Multiple veggie options for each kind of dish.”
“Definitely recommend the Bacon Swiss burger! The best burger I've tried in quiet some time. Great quality, fresh, delicious, and excellent service. The restaurant is always clean.”
“I was looking for mini cupcakes for my daughter's birthday and found Lil Bites Bakery. Lindley was very helpful and thorough with all my questions. His responses to my email did not go through to my email initially, but he made sure that I received the answers, so he emailed me from his personal email, which is customer service right there. The day of delivery (during a storm), he came early just to make sure we would get them on time. The mini cupcakes and fruit tarts were so cute and delicious! I appreciated the little details as well, such as a birthday card for my daughter. Highly recommend!”
“One of the fastest services I've ever had for food. Ordered two Carne asada tacos and a Carne asada torta and got my food within 7 minutes. Hot and delicious, goes great with their salsa Verde. They have a few vegetarian selections. Ask if they cook their food in pig fat.The location is necessarily the best, the area is a little tough but I've yet to have any problems.Good place to grab mexican food and go.”
“Love this local coffee spot. The owner is super nice and welcoming. It seems like a community center where everyone knows each other, greets warmly, and even offers to share seats. We enjoyed a cappuccino and a latte (they offer soy/almond milk for substitute), we appreciate so much with the owner’s sweet treat! The relaxed atmosphere here feels so European, instantly bringing us back to Portugal and sparking that nostalgic feeling. Great spot to chill with excellent coffee and some food. Definitely coming back.Cash or Venmo only. Free parking right next to the shop.”
“Black Angus used to be a staple pre CV. We went recently and our party was so happy about our steak meal and the Campfire Special for two. We know this is not a gouging, overinflated steak house, and we love that! We had filet mignon, and one was overcooked. The server made it right. The sides, dessert, and apps were .Bay area folks come out and support the last of American style steakhouse/cuisine. We are lacking choices of mid range steak and seafood houses.Vegetarian options: Get a salad, get sides like broccoli, potatoes , and such.Dietary restrictions: Yep!”

City Diner
“I have not tried their food but I pick up here for delivery and it always smells mouth watering delicious, staff seems friendly, my interactions have been short but so far very good.”
“Want a real pizza? Legends has it. They don't perforate the crust before your pie goes in the oven so you get a soft yet crisp crust. They have a unique lineup of specialty pizzas and a selection of sauces to mix it up. The staff is friendly and helpful. The place presents clean and has sports bar vibes but that is part of the theme as "Legends" in sports, baseball prominent, I believe. Their menu boasts all your favorite Pizza pairings; wings, bread sticks and salads. I don't think they deliver but I am certain your favorite food delivery app will pick it up for you... don't know not a fan of outside food delivery services. Which is a good thing because if you're eating pizza you need to get up off the couch and get some exercise anyway. Ask me how I know. Thank you Legends Pizza Co. Please continue what you are doing you make a great product.”
“Corned beef hash, amazing! Frenchtoast, delicious! Fresh made biscuits, to die for! (Literal clouds in edible biscuit form?) hashbrowns cooked perfectly, crispy outside soft inside! Washed down with yummy oj ? been coming here for over a decade and as time goes by they remain consistent in producing great food!”
“I stopped by while I was in the area to order an impossible burger and sweet potato fries. They gave me a beeper so it is possible to go wander around while waiting, although the food was ready within a few minutes. I thought the fries were quite good, they were crispy and decently salted. I found the burger to be just alright, not particularly remarkable. I wish the burger patty and bread were crispier. However, I appreciate that they offer this plant-based protein option.”
“Vegetarian options: Most of the pasta dishes can be ordered without meatDietary restrictions: Gluten free rotini with shrimp scampi is a favorite!Kid-friendliness: Pretty typical lot size plus it's in a strip mall with additional parking and a mall across the street. Parking should never be an issue.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible”

Cali Pizza
“Our favorite place to go for Indian pizza. If it is your first time, you cannot go wrong with the "creamy" pizzas. If you like spicy food, go with creamy chili chicken tikka masala pizza. It is absolutely amazing! They have a 30% discount all day Tuesdays ???”
“Not only was the food amazing… J.R. was awesome as a host and in recommending my entire order basically..!! I was super surprised to get an asian inspired salad (add jalapeño per JR) that was as fresh and FIRE as it was! It was insanely good, props to the kitchen! My lady and I each ordered a personal slice and both of us loved it! It was our first time here and most definitely won’t be the last! This is a San Jose must!!!”

Primo’s Deli
“I chose to try this place over Panera Bread today, and I’m impressed! I chose wheat bread and it was still flavorful. The chicken sandwich was so good! I came on a Friday at 3pm and there was no wait time. I will be back for sure. Also, the employees were friendly!”
39
Aloha Fresh
“The toppings/sides are pretty limited but the quality of the fish (actually fresh, not just in the title) is excellent. I have another poke place that is very good and has great options (many different sides and lots of sauce choices) to pick, but Aloha Fresh is not that kind of place. This is where you come when you care about the quality and taste of the fish more than anything else. Which I do. It's a drive for us, but it's worth it. A couple notes: no brown rice, but they have black rice. They have non-fish options (chicken, as well as shellfish options). They have sizing options (standard is 2 scoops of fish but there is a 1 scoop option and you can add more fish paying by the pound). When you pick your fish option, they're already marinated; you do not pick a sauce to mix in with everything. They do not have dine in options (no tables at all inside or outside) but there is a bench outside.”
“My friends an I visited 20Twenty on a Friday evening (no reservations, they don't take them) and found it SO busy! We arrived at 7 and waited around 40 minutes for a table to open up. The ambiance was cozy and warm, so parties were sticking around for a while. There was also a back patio and bar seating, but nothing large enough to accommodate our party of 5. Once we got seated, our server quickly came over with water and we ordered some wine. I chose the Liberty School Cabernet Sauvignon, which was pretty good, but I do wish they offered wine flights. For food, we got the Meatballs (SO good) and the 6 Item Make Your Own Board. They were out of Prosciutto, so my friends chose one of the other meats and we got 5 cheeses - the Quicke's Smoked Cheddar, OG Kristal Gouda, Cambozola, Manchego, and Blueberry Vanilla Goat Cheese. All of these were absolutely fantastic, but the Gouda and Goat cheese were probably my favorite. I wanted to try the Cypress Grove Humboldt Fog, but sadly they were out of this one too. The board itself was well assembled and perfect to share as a group. My friend also really enjoyed the Garlic Pesto Flatbread he ordered. Service was on the slower side, but I eventually ordered a glass of the Klinker Brick Old Vine Zinfandel, which I actually liked even more than the Cabernet. Overall, we enjoyed this spot and I can see it being really great for a date. Would return!”
“Wonderful place, family owned and so welcoming! Perfect place for families, date night, great food, awesome value for quality food, will come back and recommend to everyone!”
“The four of us went here tonight for dinner. We were 25 minutes late but they seated us anyway.The parking lot looked pretty full but we managed to grab a spot.They had all our favorite Hot pot. Ingredients: shrimp paste, veggies, assorted tofu, a ginormous lamb and beef platter ring, etc. we really like the house special bone broth, but the spicy special House broth was pretty spicy.Service was really fast and efficient.Vibe was pretty young with club music playing in the background.We got a basket of deep fried pork which was apparently recommended but I was so full. I could hardly eat more than a few pieces.Overall great price would come here again.p”

Chez Sovan
“Anyone who puts less than 5 stars is out of their mind. I have been coming here since I was a kid, and Bryan still remembers and greats me with a hug even if it has been years since we've seen each other. The quality of food and richness of the recipes from Bryan's mother are incomparable, and every dish tastes just as good as when I had it 20+ years ago. Yes the location and ambiance aren't fine dining, but it's part of the charm that makes chez sovan CHEZ SOVAN. Come here without intentions, have Bryan make you whatever he wants and you will be happy with it all.”
“Great location and chain. The food was tasty, the service was quick, and the staff was very friendly. Prices were reasonable. Portions not overwhelming.Parking: Big mall location, so plenty easy to find parking”
“First time in this place, and we just LOVE IT.the service is the BEST super nice and friendly, planes big and DELICIOUS,DELICIOUS, DELICIOUS.My son and i have one plate for both.Food was fast and cooked special for us.Definitely, we will come back to enjoy the whole menu.Kid-friendliness: At soon they noticed, my son and i were l will share the plate, the fast bring extra plate for us.”
“We had a delicious lamb burger, which are difficult to find and cook well. Great service and prices. Definitely on our list of places to return to, even if it's a 45-minute drive for us, well worth it ?”
“Real.good BBQ. A little hidden away, we wouldn't have noticed it if we hadn't gone to 7-12. A really good neighborhood kind of place with good food. The BBQ plate is a very good value.”

Roots Bistro
“We came across this place by chance trying to get a late lunch and were pleasantly surprised. We ordered egg rolls, spring rolls, and Pho. The service was great, and the food came out fast. The appetizers were fresh and hit the spot. The peanut sauce with the spring roles was not your standard very sweet sauce but had a little tanginess to it. The sauce with egg rolls was good too. The Pho is probably the best I had, the broth was tasty, and you did not need to add anything to and everything was fresh. Service was excellent and the place was comfortable.”
“Extremely solid crowd pleaser type pizza. People ask where you got it from and want a paper menu type pizza. The crust is top tier, as I never eat pizza crust but this time did. Price is really good, at $28 range for specialties. Would recommend to eat it at the restaurant, as delivery did lag.”

Trials Pub
“I have been going here since it was a floristThe place smelt a little better back thenCurry is goodWhat makes this place great is the patrons, and the staph is rad. I never met a bartender there was a douchebag.”
“I've been coming to this place for years now, and it never disappoints. The food is so delicious. The staff are friendly, and the service is quick. Everything we tasted was incredible.”
“A fun update to this story: three years later, we got in touch with Art to see if he would be willing to use the remainder of our wedding catering deposit to cater BBQ for our baby shower. Not only did he honor the tab (after three years!) but he didn't charge us for the amount beyond that. And the pulled pork and grilled mushrooms were exactly as good as we remembered them! The guests who attended both the wedding and the shower agreed! Thank you, TAOB!!!”

“First time trying this place. Sushi was excellent. We got the South Bay, splash brothers, and the Spartan. We also got the spicy mussels and we're on point. I highly recommend this spot.”
“Absolutely fantastic chicken and exceptional service! I highly recommend this to anyone in the South Bay with a craving for a hot chicken sandwich, especially if you're looking for deliciousness close to home.-matt”
“This pizza place is amazing! Delicious pizzas, salads and appetizers!The owner is always there to make sure the clients get the best quality service!I highly recommend this place!”

Sushi Masa
“We love that Sushi Masa has a happy hour menu now! We’ve tried all of the rolls and our favorites are the spicy yellowtail, the double crunchy and the tempura shrimp. The spring roll and edamame are also favorites as well.Lily has been our server/bartender for several of our visits and she is the best!The restaurant has an all you can eat lunch or dinner special, but this happy hour menu provides us with just the right amount of food.”
“I just ordered a Togo. The guy who is working here today in the front desk. He is so great and be nice. Love his recommendation and he is doing so well on explaining and helping. You could feel that he has passion on his work.”
“The burritos are always fresh and flavorful. All meat options are well seasoned and cooked to tender perfection.It’s an order are counter and to go mostly. They only have two - two person tables, and one that seats three. Small seating area, so plan on taking to go.They make to order, so order ahead if you’re in a hurry.Worth the visit. Pace several Mexican restaurants and take out places to get here!Favorite meat is Al Pastor. You can see it on the spit when you walk in.Wheelchair accessibility: While it is wheelchair accessible, there is only one table marked for it, and the dining is small. Might be a little cramped.”
“I visited Everest Cuisine in San Jose and had a great dining experience. The food was very good, and they had a wide variety of authentic, flavorful dishes. The staff was great, and the portion size was generous. They even gave us free masala chai while we waited for our take-out order, which was a nice touch. If you are looking for a great dining experience, I recommend this restaurant.”
“The pizza was super tasty. Tried vege pizza and tandoori pizza.The place was not too crowded at 630PM. The location is nice .Nice place for a small get together.”

“I was driving by and saw this ramen shop. Went in and was greeted, humble, and with humor. Service was awesome!!Ordered spicy miso and takoyaki, both taste delicious. Would highly recommend it! Coming back when im in the area.”
“The culinary offerings at Joyhear Cafe are commendable, presenting an array of vegetarian dishes that are both gastronomically delightful and gentle on the digestive system. The conscientious preparation of each meal is evident, reflecting a philosophy that marries taste with nutritional benevolence.”
“Orchestria will be added to our frequently visited restaurants. Plenty of parking surrounding restaurant. Nostalgic home feel with a unique musical experience. Drinks are limited to wine and non alcoholic drinks but there is something for everyone. Fun place to go with out of town guests or music appreciation friends. Food is plentiful too.”
“Jubba Somali Restaurant offers an authentic culinary experience that tantalizes the taste buds. The roasted goat dish is a standout, bursting with flavor and tender meat. The ambiance is inviting, and the service is warm and welcoming. A must-try for anyone seeking delicious Somali cuisine.”
“I am a HUGE fan of 365 Mediterranean! My company orders from them often via Relish and I always look forward to having them on the menu. I came to their store for the first time and there was tons of parking and seating. The food also came out super quickly (+ a free piece of chocolate). Their portions are always large and the food is always delicious! Highly recommend checking out 365”
“We've never dined in, but we've done takeout multiple times. This place does truly traditional Human food, which is to say that if it has a spicy pepper ?️ by it, be prepared for the heat! For a base starch, we love their chow mein and fried rice. Their veggie spring rolls are a great appetizer. For this time, we tried the Basil eggplant (loved it), Mongolian chicken, and Hunan bean curd. Both chicken and tofu were quite spicy, but the flavors and textures were all great. They were so friendly when I picked up the food and we will probably eat in next time to try that out.”

“I came here with my brother. I ordered the crawfish and got the spice level at medium. The flavors are what you'd expect from these places and I couldn't tell of the crawfish was frozen or not but I would've guessed it wasn't because the meat didn't stick to the shell. I was pleasantly surprised.”
“Came to pick up lunch quick from work. Ordered a bit ahead and it was ready at the pick up shelves. Very easy to find my bag and overall easy in and easy out.Got the not so fried chicken sandwich which I actually really loves. Perfect sizing and crunch to it.Also got the avocado and quinoa salad, not big into salads but thought I'd try it as it's the best selling salad on door dash but just thought it was ok maybe missing a protein to wrap it all together.Overall will definitely be back to try more sandwiches”
“What a cute little spot in downtown! Stopped here for a girls night catch up and they had the perfect little room with a couch and fire for an intimate vibe. The ambiance is so perfect and cozy for a more relaxed night out. The bartenders were so nice and helpful when ordering. The food was pretty straight to the point but yummy so I can't complain. The viognier was crisp but I definitely enjoyed the Bella Montagna Sav Blanc more. I would definitely come back here for a date night!”

La Foret
“I'll start by saying that we had an enjoyable dinner overall. The Prawns Meuniere alone are almost worth the price of admission. They were perfectly prepared and scrumptious. The rack of lamb and veal cutlet were fine, but not quite up to the level of the prawns. But the corn soup was only so-so and the creme brulee was below par and we didn't even finish it. Service was friendly and prompt and the setting was nice.”
“First time at this place everything we order was great. We order gumbo, collard greens, Mac and cheese, banana pudding, sweet potato pie, and lemonade drink. Highly recommend and definitely will be back.”
“Love everything about the place, food, service, and ambiance. Perfect fit for vegetarians.Have been a repeat customer for sometime now and will definitely recommend to others.”
“I liked the fried chicken, very good flavor. Only you have to add more slices to fried chicken. Since they put more cabbage than slices. Nice place, clean, tidy, and very good service from the staff. They need to put chips and salsa on what you expect the food to be.”
“Only complaint is a 4% charge to pay with a card. Prices are a little expensive but what isn't these days. My burrito was very big which helped absorb the pain of the cost. Unfortunately many places are now charging $12 for a burrito which is way overpriced unless it's a really good size burrito. My burrito was actually decent and pretty good. Place was very clean and the outside bathroom had just been cleaned so it was very nice and looked well kept. Workers seemed nice as well.Parking: Parking is limited to a small parking lot and some street parking but i came at a slower time of night so i had no problem. I could easily see however that during a very busy rush parking could become limited. Handicap takes up some of the parking area.Kid-friendliness: Regular restaurant. Just no playground but it's a good family spotWheelchair accessibility: ADA compliant”

“I wanted to try korean food and this place is the best. Everything I've ordered here are great. I haven't tried everything yet, but so far I know that everything will be awesome. Try the spicy tteokboki with cheese, tofu soup, la galbi, bulgogi and the dumplings whether fried or boiled is yummy! The spam kimbap is also great. Even the veggie tteokboki is yummy! :) Definitely recommend! I can't get enough of the food at this place!”
“Just as I remember it. I come in and it’s a positive, easy morning experience. Great customer service, delicious food and fairly priced. Thank you to the professional waiters, and server Mayra keep up the outstanding work!”
“Marcela, Mario, and the Fogo de Chão team are amazing. Came here for a company event and there customers services are great. All the food is amazing including the dessert. Hope to come back soon again during my spare time to enjoy this wonderful place.”
“It's a sports bar. What can I say? Well, there are a lot of sports minded people here. All with their own opinions. I tried to enjoy a Guinness beer and nachos. I hoped to be able to watch recaps without all the redirect and commentary. No such luck.Food was okay. Not enough cheese on the nachos. Beer great - fresh from the tap. Not skunky. Clean glasses. And excellent customer service.”
“Very local fish and chips spot near the light rail station and the convention center. Amazing customer service!! He was nice enough to refill my water bottle when we ate there. The fish was good but just a tad greasy. If it was slightly less greasy it would be perfect! I loved the tartar sauce it came with.”
“Pomodoro Pizza is my go-to spot for a fantastic meal. The cozy atmosphere and friendly owner make me feel right at home. The pizzas are the real stars here – thin, crispy crusts loaded with fresh, tasty toppings. What's even better is that they're open to making custom pizzas based on your preferences.The best part is the welcoming owner who is always ready to go the extra mile. He makes sure you have a great time. Pomodoro Pizza isn't just a place to eat; it's a place to enjoy amazing food and friendly service. It has become one of my favorite spots, and I can't wait to go back!”
“Had an early dinner here on a Sunday. We ordered the trio sampler appetizer and cancha to start. The fish was so fresh in the pescado ceviche and both the potato dishes went well with it! We shared this with three people so we would have room for our main dishes. I had lomo saltado, at the table we also had seafood mariscos and seafood saltado. The seafood mariscos was my favorite but both saltados were delicious! The service was quick and attentive! Will absolutely be ordering here again. Vibe wise: The music they were playing sounded like an epic film score from the 70s or something. We tried to Shazam it and it was "not found" so you know it's real! It wasn't busy but it was sort of between lunch and dinner when we went.”

“This bar is a hidden gem. The staff if most certainly nothing less than perfect. The greeter and I had a great conversation about bars in Santa Cruz, they were fantastic. Catrina, Jose, Jacob and Maui were pleasant on several occasions. I was a server and manager for over 10 years at the most high profile restaurants (Morton’s for one, which is 12 steps of service) so I know exactly what I’m talking about. I’m sorry but the Asian woman at the bar was also great but I didn’t get her name. I told them my conditions (“this is the first time I’ve drank in a year, please make me something nice. It doesn’t have to be heavily alcohol just has to taste good”) They made me exactly what I wanted. It literally made me feel special. Jacob with the great conversations, Maui and Catrina with the prime mixology. Jose was awesome with being attentive. If you read this review, trust it was out of love at 5:14 AM. I appreciate them and I most definitely will be coming back.”

VN Grill
“Delicious rice noodle bowl arguably above and beyond many restaurants. Very fresh ingredients cooked to order. Impressed by the tenderness of the shrimp and what in Chinese we call the taste of the wok of both the shrimp and the veggies. The signature fish sauce is also a must.”
“This place is cozy and very cute! They have a nice happy hour with delicious drinks. They may be a bit understaffed but they have nice service (just takes a while). I liked the drink and food options during happy hour. Seems like a fun place to get wine and live music as well.”
“My best place for cocido and chicken enchiladas, I really love this place, and the service is great,Today Jan 20th, 2024Tries is still the best place to enjoy great food great personal, and the cooks are awesome, still 5 stars.”
“Great food. The Greek lemon soup is still the best I have found. The biggest letdown is the parking. Parking can be difficult do to the location within an apartment/commercial complex.”
“My new favorite place to go in San Jose! I live an hour northeast of this place and I will gladly drive down with my family to enjoy great food here. I tried this place for the first time on Tuesday with my friend and then came back with my family and friends on Sunday. We loved it and the server was kind enough to let my family taste their ube waffle for free! Love their food and service! Thank you Duy! It was great chatting with you and learning a little bit on how you started the business. Wish you and your wife much more success. Also, wishing you can open a bigger location and possibly multiple locations in the very near future ?”
“Our local favorite north Indian food. Usually doing takeouts. Excellent Butter Chicken, Masala Bhindi, Malay Kofta and our recent favorite, Shrimp curry (JHINGA LABABDAR). Rice is included but don't miss out on the fresh Naan or Roti! All great tasting, you can choose the level of spiciness and they are always great when ordering the takeout by phone. The food is always ready on time for pickup.”

“I ordinarily don't leave reviews. But I saw the one on Valentine's day. I was there that night too. I sat near the person leaving the review. I know the person. (not well). I cannot believe they left this unfair review. Every single thing about the night was great. Food...great. Atmosphere...great. Service...spot on. Some people no matter what you cannot make happy. This restaurant is probably the best one to take your loved one. We liked it so much we went again on 2/24. Because we wanted to try some other food. Yes it is expensive. But it is worth it.”
“A colleague and I went to lunch at a restaurant in a business district with ample parking.Debbie, our server, provided excellent service.We ordered pizza, chicken strips with fries, and a steak sandwich. The pizza had a delicious flavor and fresh ingredients. The chicken strips were juicy and flavorful. The steak sandwich could have used more seasoning, but it was still enjoyable overall.The restaurant had a pleasant atmosphere, with multiple televisions for watching sports, a pool table, and a dartboards.”

“Good food and to me the quality and quantity is far more than what you pay for.Kid-friendliness: Very very kid-friendliness, Special chairs for kids.Even too note of the kid who was really distracting her family from enjoying their food and a teamember of the restaurant brought her a hand ful of gifts.”
“Located in Vietnam Town, Enjoy Seoul is in a corner of the left building when you pull into the lot. It isn't the biggest, but definitely clean. My mom and I were seated immediately for an early dinner. We are regulars here as my mom thinks this is her favorite Korean restaurant, and I have to say the soup and the stone bibimbap is also probably the best too. It was more than enough food for the two of us, and we had about one serving left to bring home. I think the banchan helps make the meal filling! Service is average, but in a good way. Took a star down because the table next to us got their food first but we ordered before them, and they seemed to order the same thing we did. Overall, definitely will come back again, and if you do go, try not to go during lunch or dinner rush because it's not that big and you might wait a while.”
“Açaí what you did there! Experience (3.5/5 stars): *Food: built my own custom bowl w/ the raw base, bananas, blueberries, sliced almonds, and cacaos. Wished they had unlimited toppings like at Palmetto. *Service: can either order on the machine on side or at the front *Ambiance: nice but can be dirty if people don't clean after themselves Overall, I'd recommend coming here for a light lunch! I'm hoping to try the drinks next time.”

“On Santana Row there are a lot to f options for places to eat. Lunch at Yard House was affordable and the food was good. Service was prompt and friendly. I will lik ly eat there ”
“Korean-operated restaurant with excellent Soon Tofu soup and tasty banchan (side dishes).Probably my favorite in the bay area. Grew up on Korean food and this Soon Dubu soup hits the spot. Very clean and fast too. Staff is very nice.”
“Loved the ambiance at night, they have live music on Thursdays going until 9PM. The service was fast and the place was not too crowded, but busy enough to not feel empty. There is a decent selection of beers from the brewery, I think they're all good quality and priced reasonably for draft micro brewery prices in the bay area”
“I visited this restaurant for the first time I believe. It is definitely an upscale Italian restaurant. I am a vegetarian. We recently went to the Olive Garden restaurant. I don't want to compare these two but wanted to mention this. We got free bread to begin with, ordered eggplant Parmesan and pasta for my daughter. Olive Garden's free Bread, salad & eggplant Parmesan was a lot better than Maggiano's. We were in a rush so it is possible that we did not enjoy the food. We were told by the server that at Maggiano's, they make the food from scratch so it will take time. Interestingly food came in a short period and the pasta came with our eggplant Parmesan was not even warm. We were a little bit upset and disappointed.”
“Great people, great musicians, first time hearing the jam session but this place always has the best beer in town..I don't miss TIRED HOUSE at all???✌️??”

“A delightful locally owned coffee shop! The crepes are to die for; these were probably the best savory crepes I've ever had! I fully expect to dream about them tonight.The coffee was excellent as well, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming and full of treasures and antique coffee grinders. Heartbeat Cafe is a must if you're in San Jose!”
“Stopped in Friday and the BBQ Chicken was great. The baked potato had sour cream a butter. The beans were very tasty. The price was great and so was the service. I'm going to come back and try the breakfast and might add a bloody Mary. Nice bartender.”
“Love this local coffee spot. The owner is super nice and welcoming. It seems like a community center where everyone knows each other, greets warmly, and even offers to share seats. We enjoyed a cappuccino and a latte (they offer soy/almond milk for substitute), we appreciate so much with the owner’s sweet treat! The relaxed atmosphere here feels so European, instantly bringing us back to Portugal and sparking that nostalgic feeling. Great spot to chill with excellent coffee and some food. Definitely coming back.Cash or Venmo only. Free parking right next to the shop.”
“Very good bakery with a wide of variety of cakes, macaroons, pasteries and danishes to choose from. I got some tiramisu and it was sooo delicious. Their ice cream macaroons are out of this world. They also make some really good tropical drinks made with sugar cane. You can preorder cakes for holidays and birthdays. The manager Van is really nice and she goes out of her way to make sure yiur order will be prrfect. You gotta check it out. If you go there once, you will be there at least twice.”
“I visited Everest Cuisine in San Jose and had a great dining experience. The food was very good, and they had a wide variety of authentic, flavorful dishes. The staff was great, and the portion size was generous. They even gave us free masala chai while we waited for our take-out order, which was a nice touch. If you are looking for a great dining experience, I recommend this restaurant.”
“Breakfast club is always a solid choice for breakfast. I love their burrito and club sandwich. Today we went in I decided to try something new, fried steak breakfast. It wasn’t as good as the other items I usually get.”
“They are not professional, our cake was late , the decor , Plastic flowers, designer did a horrible job . Very disappointed for a $ 1500.00 cake . Worst of all she didn’t deliver the cake .”
“The best Menudo I have had in the Bay, bar none. Not a fancy atmosphere or area but the menudo speaks for itself. You can eat the Menudo as is or with all the fixings they provide and it is FANTASTIC. I recommend this place to anyone who enjoys menudo.”
“I used to come here a lot during middle-high school and pretty much everything kept deteriorating, the food quality was inconsistent and environment was more unkempt/grimy each visit, all while the price increased. But now under new management the place looks much better. Walls painted over and new chairs. Place is clean and the new owner is nice. Decent drinks+food. Would come back again and I hope the quality stays consistent.”
“We wanted a home-style food. We ordered a catfish with sour soup, very tasty, nice vegetable textures. We ordered fried noodles, two kinds of egg roll, a kho with pork and rau mung(sp?). Service was nice, our friends enjoyed the selection.”
“Innovative yummy menu, awesome mural wall, lively bustle with the only downside being how loud the place is.Some acoustic foam on the ceiling to soften the noise might make it perfect.”
“Great experience set in a beautiful mansion. Had cocktails on the deck, dinner at the bar. Service was prompt, friendly and professional. I had the crab dip and the spicy salmon with wasabi crema, both were perfect. More wasabi crema next time.Kid-friendliness: I did see families dining and childrens food options on the menu”
“Absolutely fantastic chicken and exceptional service! I highly recommend this to anyone in the South Bay with a craving for a hot chicken sandwich, especially if you're looking for deliciousness close to home.-matt”

The restaurant is pretty brand new and only been opened for just a couple of months, right inside the heart of Vietnam Town Bay Area!! I Truly enjoyed their Indoor and Outdoor Seatings!!

On a mellow, cool, winter day, the bibimbap gets that warm cozy comfort feeling. And with a side of boiled dumpling, life is good. Service is excellent. Plenty of parking in the back, pretty chill for lunch.”

“The tiramisu uses whipped cream, not cheese! (Got Strawberry tiramisu.) I was confused at first when I was drinking it.The drinks here are delicious. They have lots of fruit drinks and non-caffeinated drinks which is great because I'm trying to avoid caffeine. They use real fruit and you can taste the ripeness. You can see the boxes of fresh mangoes in the store. 10/10They also sell reusable macu tea bottles ($35). Didn't know the price beforehand so was kinda shocked,but the usefulness of a reusable boba jar that isn't plastic tempted me on my zero-waste journey.Here, have an un-aesthetic photo to see what it looks like irl:”

Fred’s Burgers are absolutely amazing and the best burgers I have had in the Bay Area.Some of the 1 ⭐️ reviews don’t even mention their experience or the burgers.

“Overdue review!My GF and I are so happy that Pizza My Heart opened. We live right down the street so this is a real treat! The Pizza here is the best pizza you can get imo, NY style.Very clean store and very friendly staff. We never had to wait and the pizza was always ready. There are always multiple choices to choose from, and the ranch here is fantastic. Free of course. My favorite and go-to is always the pepperoni and sausage. The pizza is fresh, thin, and with the ranch, a great combination for a mid-day snack. The combo slice with the whole garlic is also delicious. There are a lot of reviews about the service etc, don't be dissuaded by those. This is a new location and I'm sure they're adjusting to what's working and what's not, be a little patient. But for us, everything has been great!”
“A new Sunright location in my part of town! I love everything about this franchise that is slowly covering all of California. My favorite drinks are the Cream Pudding Milk Tea and Grapefruit Jasmine Tea! However, you really can't go wrong with most drinks on their menu. Good quality all around.This location's parking can get a little tricky, but if you come during less busy hours - there's a parking lot!”
“They are located in Fremont together with Tandoori N Curry restaurant on Fremont Blvd. No longer in San Jose. Would recommend pick up or delivery, do not dine in. As like many other Indian/pakistani restaurants it is not clean. The halal steak and tandoori chicken was good but not the biryani.”
“Being a vegetarian, loved that they have many options in veg dishes. Interesting drinks. A cool hangout spot for drinks and good food. Also liked that it is kind of self service. Has lot of dips and toppings.”
