“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“

“We were impressed by the variety of food and drink choices, as well as the friendly service from hosts, wait-staff, and support crew that helped us. I especially like the majority of seating in booths and large spacious table layout that did not feel loud or crowded, even though the restaurant was nearly full. I also appreciate that there weren't TV's everywhere (except in the bar area) which can very easily distract a conversation. So Jack's is a good place to have a chat!“

“This was a special occasion for my husband and me, the 50th anniversary of our first date. The hostess was very friendly. Our server, Nolan was excellent throughout our dining experience. We never felt rushed. All our food came out at the correct temperature. We were able to finish one course before being served the next. Our plates were cleared in a timely manner. Any questions we had were answered without hesitation. When our desserts were served, the chef had written 50 Years in chocolate on my husband's chocolate cake dessert plate. Lance came to chat with us and congratulated us on our anniversary. We were not charged for either of our two desserts. Lance also presented us with his business card and a $25 gift card for our next visit. We will definitely be back!“

“Nice community/family environment with lots of options for everyone. It’s like an indoor food court in downtown San Jose. Issues are that it’s only online card payments and they expect a tip even if no one actually talks to or serves you. I’m cool to tip well, but I expect a person to be there to provide the service you’re topping for.“

The food here is good, it's solid. They offer appetizers, bowls, and more. My favorite items were the lumpia and the bayrito! The bayrito is huge and packed full of tots and meat (I had the kalua pork). The bowls were all good looking and the portions are generous. Overall, a solid spot for bar-like food.“

“Haven't had such fluffy buns filled with succulent and flavorful cuts of meat in a while. A friend and I tried their Braised Pork belly Buns, Shoyu Pork Buns, Shaking Beef Buns, crispy tofu buns, Angry bird bowl (off-menu), and mango lassi. Most everything was great, especially the braised pork belly and shoyu pork buns. The tender soy marinated cuts of pork really hit the spot, and I loved the ají verde sauce that came w the shoyu pork bun. The shaking beef reminded me of the sweet and savory korean bbq meats, and the crispy tofu bun had a hickory bbq flavor. I really enjoyed the angry bird bow! It's an off menu item with aromatic fried rice and spicy sautéed chicken. So good! Mango Lassi was a nice smoothie to wash it all downOur host was very kind and informative. The business is run by young chefs and they seem very honest and open to advice! Bun Me Up is located in the Tiki Pete Bar, good music and great place to chill at night.“

“While the noise level was a little high the setting was great and you could tell this place had a very “local” customer base. The staff was very friendly and efficient, our waiter was terrific and - had a couple of nice chats with him. We found the prices were a little higher than some comparable restaurants, but the food was excellent. When you've had authentic Italian food in Italy it's hard to find comparable offerings here in the states. Vito's ranks right up there in its food. It was a nice way to celebrate our 51st wedding anniversary and we'll definitely be going back!“

“If you’re looking for a new spot to grab Pho in San Jose, look no further cause you’ll find Pho This Way. This new pho restaurant opened late last year and is located in Vietnam Town (IYKYK).Pho This Way offers a clean modern dining room with a menu that contains not only pho, but also finger foods, other Vietnamese noodles, and favorites like Shaken Beef (Bo Luc Lac).We visited on a Sunday before the lunch crowd and had ourselves a delicious feast. The broth was really good and the portion sizes were generous. The staff was very helpful in going over the menu with us. One item that we were absolutely glad we tried and would recommend to everyone is the Net Egg Roll, which was a perfectly crispy egg roll that you can wrap inside some lettuce and mint leaves before enjoying with the fish sauce.San Jose no doubt has a lot of pho restaurants, but this new spot definitely deserves a visit.- — ???? ?? ??????? — -∿Vietnamese Shaking Beef Macaroni∿Pho Dac Biet (Special Combination Pho)∿Net Egg Roll∿Papaya Salad∿Stir Fried Egg Noodle with Seafood∿Strawberry Panna Cotta & Mango Panna Cotta“

“9/10! This pool place is top-tier! Ever since I got into pool, this is hands down one of the best spots I've been to. I first checked it out a couple of months ago and the service blew me away. Everyone, from the customers to the employees, is super friendly. The prices are fair and they charge by the hour (don't hold me to that, though). My friends and I hit this place up every weekend and I have zero regrets about stumbling upon this hidden gem in San Jose. I haven't tried the food or drinks, but my buddies who've had the alcohol say it's decent. All in all, this place is a winner. It's a great spot to hang with friends and family, or just chill and play board games at the front tables. The place is spacious has lots of tables, and the music is always fresh, and there's a great mix of tunes. Highly recommend!!“

“Was invited by a friend to visit this place for the first time today. Very conveniently located near my home on Park Avenue. Patricia, the owner, came out to our table to ask how the food was and introduce yourself. I was loving the tacos I ordered, and told her so. I found I've been open for 2 months now, and I told her as I was invited here, I would myself be inviting friends here soon as I was coming back. Wishing them the best in business and that they stay open for a long time. Best place to come for homemade Mexican food.I had both Bria tacos and chilaquiles, which were both five star excellence in every way!The vibe from The jukebox music was so good that we stayed for more beers, and I chased my tacos with chilaquiles, and those were even better than my first meal! So glad I found this place!Walk, don't run, and bring a good vibe! Very friendly crowd at the bar at the front of the house.Kid-friendliness: It's more of a restaurant in a bar, then a restaurant with a bar. You'll know what I mean when you get there. So not the best place for kids, but definitely a friendly place for adults looking for a tasty place to eat for lunch and after work or for a fun dinner date.“

But he went above and beyond by sharing local restaurants and additional breweries in the South Bay to try. I now have new ideas to explore for many weekend to come! Chris was dropping gems and knowledge! Dear ISO owner: Give this guy a raise, this is the kind of person you want on your team. For the bar and beer selection, clean bar with outside seating.
