“the lettuce wrap was amazing. super delicious.“

“Thanks Charlie for donating your yummy cheesecake bites for St Catherine’s 7th grade class fundraiser towards their Washington DC trip.“

“Great food, friendly atmosphere, clean and prompt service.“

“Ordered a Sunday Special Thali & I absolutely loved it 😍 Right from the packaging everything was meticulously planned & executed. The variety of veggies, Vaangi Baath, mango phirni, butter milk everything was yummy. It was tummy full & some. Highly recommend it!!“

“You can't go wrong with the rice bowls here. They offer a great, fulfilling balanced meal for lunch, and the ability to choose between cottage cheese, chicken, and goat meat means there's something for everyone. Both the food and the service were truly excellent. Front staff were so polite & sweet! A top-notch experience all around.“

“TBH I was hesitant at first to eat at Acopia. As a vegan, most Mexican restaurants do not usually have options for me. Their menu is somewhat minimal and limited, so entered with few expectations or hopes that I could order anything more than a salad. However, I was pleasantly surprised! The owner came to our table and was most accommodating. I ordered a succulent nopales salad, street corn and some delicious blue corn sopes de calabasita (zucchini and flower). It was all quite tasty and I was even more surprised when she brought out some vegan mayo AND vegan cheese to top off my food with more flavor. The atmosphere is very modern and simply styled, mirroring their “chic” food menu. I found the food delicious though a bit on the bland side, but was grateful that they came through for me and my vegan diet. I left sated and happy that I could fully participate in the meal alongside my meat-eating friends. The owner was very thoughtful and really went out of her way to make sure I had plenty of choices to order. Although it was a bit pricey, I will definitely go back again. The modern ambiance, the attentive service and the fancy yet rustic food combined to make a lovely evening meal.“

“We were in town to get a present and of course we had to stop and get a box of our goodies we used to get every Friday. Great that you can now order before coming into town. Always really good“

“I ordered the sesame tofu bowl with sweet potatoes, mushroom and broccoli with the creamy sesame sauce and omg it’s delicious. I love finding places with gluten free options. I ordered delivery so can’t leave a review on the atmosphere, but the customer service was great through online ordering. Delivery was also very fast. I will definitely order again.“

“Always tasty. We usually get one veggie and one meat special.“

“It's finally healthy fast food. I can go here get salmon, brussel sprouts and healthy food for me meals quickly. Very handy when I don't have time to cook and don't want to eat unhealthy m thanks for existing boltiful, I need you in my life“

“We chose Natasha’s treats for our wedding cake on December 2025 and we couldn’t be happier. Her customer service was top notch, she answered all our questions, and brought our dream cake to life. But besides her wonderful work her cake was delicious, we chose the tropical treat and it was delicious, it was the best part of our day.“

“This is a restaurant with a very stylish decoration. The classical decoration makes people feel like they are back in the past era when dining. I think everyone can experience it. At the same time, the food in the restaurant is still very delicious.“

“Loving all the food and clean place“

“Teresa and her team are always exceptional at this location - Happy Donuts on Winchester Blvd. I come in for the seasonal favorites but have never been disappointed as you see a lot of local, familiar faces as this is also a great place to stop by or meet up with someone that you know. I love their French Twists or Crullers here that's usually my go-to, when they had the pumpkin donuts they were running out all the time. The best touch with the breakfast sandwiches, yes they have more than donuts, you can often get a bagel or breakfast sandwhich with your choice of bread or croissant if the have it, is the little mini chili. I was reluctant to try it but it was just the right level of spice and so unique. If you're looking for beyond donuts, sometimes you can also ask for smoothies they do advertise them as well especially if you want protein and smoothie for the health focused or gym folks coming from nearby the shopping center. I mean donuts are supposedly healthier than bagels and I read on a social media post donuts have saved many, many relationships including marriages, boyfriend and girlfriends, families, business partnerships etc. as you can never go wrong with apology donuts or donuts to make things better between groups of people.“

“Just love the berry pies. Goes just perfect with my morning coffee and dinner meals. Just love the blueberry pie with the delicious crust. If The Giving Pies keep makin’em I’ll keep eat’em.🥰“

“By the time I got home to eat my food was already cold . I didn't get to eat it. My husband ate his. He liked it. They don't only serve hotdogs they serve other things too like funal cakes burgers and other stuff I just remember what exactly.“

“The food here is very good but even better is the service. The staff was very genuine, attentive and quick. Maybe the best service I've had in my life. I'm not in the area often but would definitely go again“

“100% recommend, comfort food and great service. Best cannolo I’ve had in San Jose ! The garlic knots are okay, their dough is really nice though. But the chicken with penne was delicious! My fiancé had the veal and he really liked it!“

“This Neighborhood Sports Bar with plenty of TVs pours stiff drinks on the cheap and will turn the Juke Box off for football games 😉. They have a huge draw for Karaoke on the weekends, too.
Jake's and Puerto Azul Restaurants share the same building for food or snacks.
This place has the whole package.“

“Food was excellent! Flat iron steak was done med rare as ordered. Chicken with cranberry sauce and brussels sprouts was perfect. The delicious apple/caramel bread pudding definitely enough to share. The atmosphere is an older converted garage but it is well worth going for the food!
Close to TechCU arena, we will be back. Go Barracuda!“

“Asked for 1 tiny salsa this evening and the male was so rude to us,telling us next time tell me ahead of time! Like it was gold! Ridiculous attitude, the cook heard him and said thank you to us because she knew he had an attitude. We buy alot there. They need to get someone else who respects customers.“

“The minute we tried Bossman's pizza a few months ago, we were hooked! Got takeout and delivery many times from this place. The pizza is always on point, perfect crust and generous toppings. Have not had a chance to dine in due to COVID-19 but we look forward to visiting in person soon.“

“Omg! The Yummiest Empanadas I’ve tasted. It’s a perfectly baked flakey perfect every bite. I can’t wait to go back for more!“

“I have never eaten Ethiopian food before nor have I ever been interested in eating it. Stumbled upon this restaurant when out looking for food that was not Mexican, (nothing wrong with Mexican food. I love Mexican food but just wanted something else). I had no idea what to expect. So glad we stumbled across it. It was so good. If we were here for more than one night, I would definitely return. The staff were awesome. So friendly and welcoming. The food was so good and opened my eyes, (and stomach), to a new cuisine. The price was very reasonable. Do not let the empty restaurant put you off. Definitely worth a visit.“

“I got the breakfast burrito I thought it was great it filled me up they also gave my daughter up a humongous cookie for free really appreciate it I recommend this place for a good breakfast burrito“

“The food and service were amazing!“

“One of the best places to have a big party. The banquet rooms are spacious; you can seat up to 160 guests. I’ve hosted 2 events here already - my parents’ 50th anniversary in 2014 and my 50th birthday this year. Easy process to reserve the space & select menu. Great customer service from all staff.“

“I was seated very quickly and the service was excellent from the start. There were three servers and all of them were attentive. I was given a menu right away and they gave me a few minutes to decide without rushing me. Once I placed my order, the food came out fast, around five to six minutes, which was impressive.

I ordered a large pho dac biet and what really stood out is that their version includes tendon, oxtail, beef balls, and flank. That combination is actually pretty rare since most pho places only include some of those, not all. The portion was very generous with lots of noodles and plenty of meat, but it did not leave me feeling overly stuffed or uncomfortable. The broth was served piping hot, which was perfect for a cold day. Flavor wise, it had a subtle sweetness and was not bland at all. The salt level was just right and it honestly reminded me of an authentic Hanoi style pho.

I also ordered an avocado smoothie and really appreciated that they did not oversweeten it. You can actually taste the avocado instead of just sugar. The serving size was also quite large, around twenty to twenty four ounces, so it felt worth it. Overall, the amount of food and drink you get here is very fair for the price.

The interior is cozy and a bit older, but that adds to the charm and makes it feel more authentic. Prices are reasonable too. I paid around thirty dollars total for a very large bowl of pho, a large avocado smoothie, and a tip, which I think is a good deal.

I will definitely be coming back. This place is officially added to my personal list of Bay Area pho spots that I genuinely enjoy.“

“I ordered a 4 tier cake for my wedding. I asked if they would be able to do the old vintage cake designs. I was told yes. I sent several detailed emails and pictures of what I wanted. The cake was NOTHING close in design, outside of 4 levels, nothing else looked like the pictures. Only one of the colors, only a couple flowers. Then, 1 hour into the reception the cake fell over. I never even got to cut my 4 tiered cake! When I brought it up after, she blamed the heat. There was air conditioning in the venue! She offered to redo it for pictures. I agreed then never heard from her. I contacted her multiple times and I just today get an email from her saying she can't do that after all. I lost money, had a mediocre cake that looked nothing like the inspo picture I sent, and had my cake fall over and barely salvaged enough for the guests. This is a horrible business who doesn't care about making a cake for something as important as a wedding. My dream cake was ruined. I should've gone with someone else. What a horrible bakery. Liars and unprofessional. If you don't know how to do vintage designs don't sat you do! And do not offer a remake if you don't mean it! If you're looking for a multi tiered wedding cake, do not use them!“

“The restaurant offers a warm, traditional Ethiopian ambiance, and the flavors genuinely make you feel like you are experiencing Ethiopia through the food. I do not remember the exact name of the dish I ordered, but it was recommended by the waiter after I mentioned that I wanted something hearty with meat and rich Ethiopian spices served with injera. It turned out to be an excellent recommendation — flavorful, filling, and very satisfying.
One thing I noticed was that the restaurant seemed understaffed for how busy it was. After my food arrived, I had to wait quite a while just to get a spoon and fork, since they were not brought out automatically. I also ended up going to the counter to request the bill because it took too long to arrive at the table.
That said, the waiter was friendly and clearly doing his best to keep up with the crowd.
Overall, I would definitely return to enjoy that unique Ethiopian dish again.“

“Very yummy creations! The Mango Mouse cake tasted amazing. I can tell they use a lot of real mangos for the flavor to come through :) the textures of the cake were so fun too since it’s a mix of creamy and crunchy. I also love how adventurous they are with their drinks! Haven’t tried their macarons yet (their staples) but I’m sure they are divine. I can tell the owner cares a lot about the product and customer experience. There are some tables inside if you want to eat and chill. I will definitely continue to support this local bakery!“

“We wouldn't eat in here, but it's so great for takeout or delivery. The food is always flavorful, hot, and generous. The service is quick and friendly. So much better than the other Thai or Chinese options in Willow Glen. Super Yum!“

“The staff at this location are sweet and friendly. Thank goodness they have one gluten free option and it is delicious. Thank you for helping me get my cake fix 💖💖💖💖“

“with the advent of shrinkflation or quality reduction I am happy to say Fast Pizza still holds true to their product delivering on quality pizza with great flavor year over year. When other pizza places reduce toppings or go to lower quality vendors fo save a few bucks, Fast Pizza still continues to deliver on the taste and quality I am familiar with and enjoy of them over I would say 20 years since their first opening. I don't often order American Style pizza but Fast Pizza continues to be the first number on my list.“

“Good service, good food! Buen servicio y buena comida!“

“I was curious to try this place after driving past it so many times and home eats in Cupertino let me down the last time I ate there. We had the eggplant and combo noodle special and a bowl of rice. The food was pretty tasty and fresh but I felt like it was expensive for Chinese food. 25$ for noodles and about $17 for eggplant, 3$ for rice. Service and ambience was nicer than your typical Chinese restaurant but was it worth another visit? We’ll see“

“My daugther and I were trying to find some good kabobs in San Jose. We just moved from DC where we get delicious Persian Kbabobs. This was our first time at this resturant. It was great food and great service from the front cashier and the owner him self. A family own business. All were friendly and great cosutmer service. I ordered two koobideh kabob plates was so delicious before leaving, I went back and ordered one more skewer to go. They have some tables outside for a take out place. The food temperature was perferct.“

“Definitely get the garlic shrimp fettuccini Alfredo. It’s the best thing I’ve eaten there!“

“Iced coffee has a good bold flavor.
Le sultan cake is nice, not too sweet and a blend of smooth and crunchy.

They have a lot of shaded outdoor seating.

Update Jan 2026: Went more recently and didn't like the caramel chocolate mousse one. It seemed like it was starting to become stale. And the ice coffee was soso as well.“

“I love Nick the Greek. Big shout out the the staff that made my order of Nick's Fries extra crispy on 1/3/26 at 7:45pm. You the best. My fries were so yummy. I see you and I love you. Thank you. Please give the staff working that shift a big kiss on the lips for me.“

“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!!“

“amazing food, great service“

“We recently had a celebration of life ceremony for our Nana and needed food for approximately 80-90 people. Lynn was amazing and was able to help us with the catering order. Food was good and not to mention, they give a good size portion for each tray which goes a long way. I’m thankful for the help they provided to our family.“

“This is the luxurious treat you buy for others who would never buy such a splurge, with the total price being okay but the item itself being expensive for what it is, like a $10 hand sanitizer or a $30 candle.This store is located in Santana Row. It used to be located next to Sephora but has moved to a smaller space on the Row. They have samples unlike other third-party retailers that carry them obviously.The packaging can't be beat. Please refer to my Halloween Sugarfina advent calender. I love how there are boxes for different occasions, like graduation. You can mix and match the plastic cubes for some of the boxes like the treasure chest type ones. Separately, they are also fitting for occasions like bridesmaid ask boxes.I think most of the gummies are great, particularly the alcoholic and sour ones. The chocolates are good but usually nothing special. The olive ones look nice though.“

“Highly recommended! This place is great!“

“This was our first time and on Mother’s Day. We were seated right away on the patio (by choice) next to a heater. We ordered and our food came pretty quick and was delicious. I had the California Eggs Benedict and boy did the homemade hollandaise sauce blow my taste buds. It’s was so good.“

“Totalmente esquisto 🇵🇪🙂🌸 desde que llegue a California es la comuda oriental más rica ,su pato asado ufff“

“Their Mango Mousse cake is absolutely delicious. I have tried many things at this bakery. All are excellent. Try them out folks. You will enjoy every bite.“

“Amazing place karaoke and good food check it out“

“When you need a good hearty breakfast to power through your day, it's hard to beat a delicious breakfast bagel. I try to come here at least a couple times a month. They make bagels the right way - boiled and baked. This is one of those places where the staff is busy, but still always has a friendly smile. They wouldn't be busy if people didn't love the food, right? They also have Peerless coffee which is always hot and fresh. They have just about any kind of bagel flavor you could ask for, and many ways to make you a breakfast bagel.“
