“Considering how expensive everything has become, this place is like an oasis, offer tasty food in the heart of San Jose. Visiting on a warm night, the float hit the spot, and I genuinely like the fishdog! The workers were friendly and fast, which again, seems rare for the Bay Area these days. Visit before a developer tries to turn the place into another ugly over priced condo.”

“It's hard to go wrong with any Five Guys location. This one is no exception. The fries were delightfully salty, and there was a few extra in the bag, as you'd expect. The burger was delicious as well, even if it was extremely messy. My only real complaint was that the service was a bit slow. But that aside, it's a great place to stop and grab a burger.”

“My friend and I had visited Boltiful Kitchen for lunch. I had Vegan Miso Tofu Bowl. As someone who loves veggies and is plant based, this is hands-down an amazing bowl to order. The miso glazed tofu, the veggies and sweet potatoes noodles are delicious 😋🤤. Another highlight is that the bowl speaks for itself with tofu and doesn't try to mimic any mock meat options which is a win. The staff are also very polite and our overall experience was amazing. I am coming back again with more friends!! I just wish Boltiful would expand to more places”

The rest of the staff was just as great. Food quality was great and they offered a variety of add-ons. Unfortunately, like all fast food restaurants nowadays, the only drawback is the price (which is why I gave it 4 stars), but I'll definitely be back!”

She was so friendly from the start smirking and with positive energy even though I came in right before closing! The ambiance is great here and they even decorated for Christmas! Workers that provide level of service with the hospitality deserve a raise and after getting to know her she's been working for Taco for 15 years and has worked at multiple of their restaurants throughout the years! The food was also great!”

“JC's has been my go-to BBQ spot for over 25 years. I LOVE LOVE LOVE their beef ribs! The meat is always falling off the bone. And they're big! The hot links are addictive, the chicken is perfect and when I used to work close by, on my lunch break I would frequently get their pulled pork. I'm obsessed with the garden salad & dressing!! Always so consistently fresh and crisp! Would recommend 10 out of 10!”

2008 Tully Road, San Jose

“I’ve always loved Jollibee because it’s more than fried chicken—it’s a little taste of home. The juicy, crispy Chickenjoy, the familiar flavors, and that warm Filipino hospitality have always taken me straight down memory lane to the Philippines. 🇵🇭❤️ That’s why it’s disappointing to see the San Antonio location slowly lose what makes Jollibee special. Lately, the service feels disorganized and slow, the quality seems inconsistent, and that warm Filipino welcome and atmosphere seem to be disappearing. On my most recent visit, I even received only 5 pieces of chicken when I ordered 6. Jollibee shouldn’t feel like just another busy fast-food chain. The Filipino warmth, hospitality, pride, and quality are part of the brand—and just as important as the Chickenjoy. I’m sharing this not simply to complain, but because we love Jollibee and want this location to do better. Please bring back the quality, organization, and unmistakable Filipino spirit that made us fall in love with Jollibee in the first place. We want our Jollibee back. 🇵🇭🐝❤️”

“I’ve been coming to Que Huong Fast Food for a while now and the food is always fresh and affordable. Their Vietnamese dishes have great authentic taste, and the portions are generous for the price. The staff is friendly and the service is usually very fast even when it gets busy. One of my favorite spots in East San Jose for a quick meal. The restaurant is clean, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the quality stays consistent every time I visit. Definitely recommend stopping by if you want delicious Vietnamese food without spending too much!”

“I had the Chicken Mix Bowl with the smokey chipotle sauce and it was AMAZING. I am allergic to dairy, gluten, and soy so being able to not worry about that with my meal was so nice. I also have ARFID (avoidant restrictive food intake disorder) and have a really hard with certain textures, usually chicken is really hard for me to eat but I had no issues with this chicken!! The texture was consistent all the way through, pulled apart really easily, and was just overall amazing. The portions are really good and the food is very flavorful. I'm really happy with my meal. Thank you guys for the amazing food. I highly recommend this place!!”

2398 Evergreen Place, San Jose

“These little chicken strips were pretty darn good! Juicy and tender and seemingly all white meat. Nice golden crust with just the right amount of batter. Raising Cane sauce is a necessity here! I never had it before and I like it. Their fries could be a bit less soggy, but they’re the ridge cut ones which make them slightly more crispy. And their garlic bread was what got my attention. I may go back there just for that. I think the combo lunch was very good deal for less than $13.”

“A little questionable for the location, but my biggest turn off was the staff and the fact you can't see them prepping your sandwich like other TOGO'S locations. They were talking amongst themselves in Spanish the entire time, which I don't really care about but that paired with the fact it was all done behind a counter I couldn't see just left me wondering if they had properly heard what I wanted in my sandwich. I luckily I ordered a classic 24 so it was easy enough. I'd go again if I had to though. It's the only TOGO'S in the area I believe.”
