“Visited 21MAR2024 - Yes, Lawd! Since this was my first time visiting. LuLu, Jackie's sister, explained how things work. Ordering and paying are done online using a QR code at your table. LuLu explained that no one would come to the table, except to bring your order. She also pointed out where the leftover containers were located if needed.I ordered the two meat with two sides plate. I selected fried chicken and fried fish for my two meats. I ordered collard greens and black-eyed peas for my sides. Two whole chicken wings and two fish filets along with the sides came out in no time. The wings were good. I didn't specifically ask to have them fried hard, the way I like my wings. I could've added a note in my online order. I won't make an issue since the wings were done. I'm not sure what type of fish was served. I meant to ask but forgot. The fish was fried right though. The greens and black-eyed peas were cooked the way I cook them. I was in the area for work. I'll definitely be back if I'm in the area again. Unfortunately, I didn't take any pics.“
“Went for the live music. It was Saint Patrick's Day and they were serving corned beef and cabbage in addition to their regular menu. The place was packed and I think the live music was a surprise to most of the patrons. The duet playing their own renditions of mostly Rock classics, Mary Ellen and Thom Duell were excellent and very engaging with the audience“
“Food: I wanted musubis for a quick snack so I ordered 2 spam musubis and 2 Portuguese sausage musubis. 10/10 They were the perfect rice to meat ratio. The musubis had a sauce on the rice that was a good addition and didn't overpower the flavor of the spam or Portuguese sausage. Probably the best musubis around! They're the first place I've been to that has Portuguese musubis. They have bbq chicken and katsu musubis on their menu also. I will definitely be back when I'm craving musubis. :D Highly recommend getting musubis here and taking them to go on a picnic like I did. Ambience: The cashier counter and kitchen side when you enter the shop is very well lit but the seating side in the next room has very dim lighting but there are several tables and chairs to dine in. Parking: A decent amount of parking in the plaza“
“We booked a cooking class through Classpop and had such a great time learning to cook! The place had a parking lot so parking wasn’t a problem. We loved that after the cooking class, we were giving enough time to enjoy our food and even had leftovers to bring home. 10/10 recommend! Thanks for making my partner’s birthday so memorable!“
“Casual hawaiian eatery located in the Maplewood Plaza. Bright space with wooden chairs and tables inside, and a few tables outside too. Employee took my order at the front counter (standard service), though there's a self-order kiosk as well. Order was ready in 5-10 minutes, no other customers at the time. Got the mini loco moco, and the meat, gravy, mac salad, everything was flavorful and satisfying... the mini size was sufficient for a filling meal. Based on taste, I'd say this would be one of my top 2 hawaiian spots in the south bay.“
“amazing bbq joint. closes at 4 so be sure and get there early. excellent ribs, brisket, pulled pork and sides are off the hook. recommend the beans, potato salad, and macaroni and cheese. excellent corn bread. was not a fan of the coleslaw. really good selection of craft beers, great notion, bare bottle, and others on tap.“
“Absolutely the best Korean food in the area: delicious side dishes, fulfilling portions of food, and extremely flavorful. They also have the BEST seafood pancake I’ve ever had. Amazing restaurant overall, highly recommend (from an Asian person)!!!“
“All my Korean dreams come true and just down the street from me! Highly recommend you check them out and support their small business. We came here on a whim and I'm so glad we did. I've been craving Korean food and I'm so happy this place is so close to me. They've only been open for 6 months. Plenty of parking in the lot or on the street. The lady who took our order and served us is so cute and sweet. She doesn't speak English too well, but she was working hard and she was the only one front of the house! She takes care of all the patrons, the Doordash orders, the to go orders, refill waters, check you out, etc. We ordered the spicy braised short ribs, spicy beef stew, and the veggie pancake. Both were not spicy but tasted amazing! My husband said the stew is his fave soup of all time! The beef is shredded and it comes with glass noodles. I normally don't like seafood pancakes, but the veggie one here was fried to perfection. It was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The braised short ribs had great flavor. I do wish the meat was more tender, but it's still a solid dish. They don't skimp on the ban chan and they were all good. They'll give you refills if you ask too. This place isn't cheap for being on the East Side, but I think prices are on par with other Korean restaurants. We're happy to be back because the food was fire and staff were so friendly.“
“Good food, AMAZING rice. The service was great and quick, the guy who took my order was very kind and welcoming. The lady who served our food was also very kind! Once receiving my food I grabbed some utensils from the side and will say the food is great is you're looking for Caribbean food, the chicken is seasoned well and the salsa they give is good. Definitely recommend the mango drink they have, probably my favorite part of the meal!“
“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.“
“Definitely a great BBQ spot. The ribs and chicken are the standouts, packed with flavor and just the right amount of tenderness. Their homemade BBQ sauce, and sides are great. It's a BBQ stop so don't expect table side service, but all the people working there are chill and really friendly. Overall a great spot worth stopping at.“
“I had to give this place a try and support a Filipino business. It's a casual quick service restaurant. They have a few tables if you'd like to dine in. I ordered a Tocilog TO-GO. Good portion,good for 1-2 people. You can also add a protein for an extra cost. Tocilog is Tocino ( sweet Filipino style bacon) with a garlic rice and fried egg. It was delicious! I didn't get to take photos because I was really hungry but will definitely come back. I heard the Sisig is on point. That's what I'll get next time.“
“Finger licking good honestly. I love the cornbread, love their meats and the sauce it is so good. We came here for my brothers bday dinner and it was a bit quiet but our service was great, food was delicious and it was worth the $$$.Recommend;)“
“Oh lawd so grateful this place exists! Every time I come into San Jose I look forward to stopping here. The food is always bomb, the place is always clean and the staff is always cool. When I eat this food its hard to sit still, I want to dance n shout lol.. Im literally eating outside on my car so I don't disturb the other patrons with my bouncing around lol.Thank you all!! Can you guys sell the jerk sauce by the gallon please? And I'd like subscription to the plantains.“
“This was my first time having it so I picked a combo plate I had brisket pork beans ribs cornbread from the first bite that I had it it was so delicious to the last bite I most definitely will come back so if you're into barbecue you definitely going to stop by and have it pick the combo it gives you two entrees cornbread or rice then aside then we also ordered a side of burnt ends but make sure you eat it while it's hot it was so good and melted in my mouth.“
“Came for lunch with a group on Fri. We were greeted by amicable staff, service was fairly quick. Ambiance is unique and you can smell the meat before you walk into the establishment. Restaurant was clean with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. It was bustling and customers seemed content. The chicken BBQ sandwich was good, sauce was decent, nothing spectacular but overall good as well as the beans. Berry cobbler pie was delicious.“
“Seafood Tofu is pretty good. I always get spicy for my soup and they make it spicy enough for the kick and not overpowering. The broth had the right taste of the cooked seafood of shrimp and clams. They add on egg that pretty much cook though so breaking the yolk wasn't possible. Maybe I'll ask them to stir it next time or leave it out. It comes with purple rice and add an order of spicy cucumber cause I didn't see Kim Chi on machine to order. I'd definitely be coming back.“
“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!!!“
“It's a food truck restaurant. But they have covered seating which they share with another pop up Mexican restaurant.A sign in the sidewalk directs you inside a driveway. It's the covered restaurant right there in the left. You can't tell because the sign is for the restaurant they share the eating space with.Menu is very limited but it's well prepare and good.Lumpia is fresh; he rolls and then deep fries them right there. The chicken with garlic rice is tasty. The garlic rice is actually white rice topped with toasted garlic. Try the pork and tocino skewers.“
“I came here with a group of 7 people with a reservation. We didn't have to wait for the table at all, and the service was excellent. A couple dishes we ordered didn't show up, but it was all you can eat and we ordered a lot, so it's understandable. It came out to $70 per person (inc. $80 tip) with the all you can eat BBQ, hot pot, some premium meat, and 2 carafes of soju.“
“Pros: Nice and friendly staff, yummy food, well cooked brisket, yummy corn, spacious and different seating options. They have veggie and chicken options too.Cons: meal size is not big, plastic utensils are negative points. Limited non-pork options“
“I had the Italian sausage sandwich. When I received it I looked simple and disappointing. But my God when I bite into the sausage, I've never had anything better. It is worth the taste. Will definitely come back to try the other sandwiches“
“I have been craving Hawaiian food. I looked around and could not find anything open because it was late evening. Ono was open and near closing, but the staff happily assisted me with my order and gave me solid ordering advice to decide what I wanted to eat. Thanks to team members like the ones at Ono’s, I can enjoy my meals knowing I made a good decision on my food choice.“
“Had this place to myself at 3:30pm (late lunch). Asked for a recommendation and they suggested the spicy pork lunch special. Boom! Perfect choice. I never eat all of the rice; however, this was so scrumptious that I couldn't stop grabbing flavor! I'll be back for certain!“
“Been there a couple of times in the last few weeks and Sebastian always gives us a warm welcome with a very cheerful smile and gets us a quick walkthrough of the available options ( barbecue, hot bowl etc) and once its our turn (highly recommend checking in online via the Yelp reservation) we get to the table and are ready to eat some yum and delicious KBBQ.The hosts/servers have always been phenomenal. Once you get to the table, you can walk over to the sauce station placed towards the end next to the kitchen to gather a few of your choice. I usually end up ordering a lot of sea food options (calamari, octopus, salmon, shrimp etc) and keep repeating the same to my heart's content. I have been told the other options with beef are very well prepared as well and all in all its just an amazing experience which i would definitely recommend!!!“
“Chinese Skewers are popping up everywhere, but The Skewer Bar is probably one of the first ones to start the trend. This place has all sorts of meats, veggies, and seafood options for skewers along with exotic bites like fried bugs. We did not try any of those this time around, but we did enjoy the Spicy Clams and Hunan Dry Rice Noodles. Next time you're in the mood for Chinese Skewers, this place is another option for ya!* Spicy Clams* Grilled Beef Bone Marrow* Whole Eggplant* Hunan Dry Rice Noodles* Skewers: BBQ Beef Steak w/ Peppers, Chicken Skin, Pork Rib, Pork Intestines, Fish Ball, Beef Steak, Mini Beef Skewers, Pork Belly, Squid Tentacles“
“Usually like this place a lot, this visit ,food was bland. Must be new cooks. Friendly staff, fair prices. Parkinglot over crowded.Parking: Not a lot of parking upfront. You can park in the back of the buildings. Think cars from other businesses park there from around the area“
“My friend was hyping this place up so I decided to see if he spoke some truth to his statements. It didn't disappoint, but it didn't hit it out of the park either. Interior is very presentable. Clean and new. There are a lot of choices to pick from, but you get a limited quantity per category. You have their base, two base toppings, two scoops of protein, five toppings, two sauces (unfortunate), and then two sprinkles. The taste of the fish by itself is okay. Sauce is really good though. I was surprised at how much it was (about $3 more than what I'm used to paying) but their portions are very generous. I could not finish my bowl in one sitting when I always do. Hopefully the next time I come back, I'd find my go-to recipe!“
