The menu offers a fantastic variety of fresh, seasonal ingredients, and every dish I’ve tried has been bursting with flavor. What really sets Urban Plates apart is their commitment to quality.

“Muy delicioso 😋 me gusta mucho“

“I enjoy their cheesecakes but not so much their egg tarts.

Love getting the classic, pandan coconut, and ube cheesecakes. The strawberry wasn't my taste and the Oreo flavor just felt like the classic with cookie and chocolate pieces added in, not so much Oreo flavor.

The egg tarts have a weird consistency and feels too pasty or thick.

It's cool, if you go at the right time, you can watch them make the cheesecake on the griddle, like 20 at a time!

Tip: If you park by Target, then you are exactly at the OPPOSITE side of the mall and need to walk the ENTIRE mall to get to Uncle Tetsu. Recommend parking closer to Uncle Tetsu if you aren't planning to shop at the mall!“

“larga la espera pero valió la pena muy rica la comida“

“We had an event at work and I ended up trying the churros after getting a whiff of the delicious smell and OMG!! They are so delicious!! Freshly made with a crunchy but soft on the inside!“

“Hobbes is a welcome addition to the DTSJ breakfast scene. Normal sized meals with regular prices except for their coffee. Brewed coffee is $4.55 w/refills. The staff is super nice and the food, made to order, comes quickly. I enjoy having carb side options - rice, grains, potatoes, sweet potatoes or black beans. Another option I like is the mini size of their blended drinks.“

“We love Kadhai Kitchen, authentic india food, best in entire Bay Area. Taste is all that matters, and they remind of maa ke hath ka khana. 👌🏻“

“come with family and enjoy“

“Mole pablano enchiladas were excellent.“

“the lettuce wrap was amazing. super delicious.“

“Great spot for Chinese food in downtown San Jose. I've been to their Fremont location a few times, but I think this location is a bit better since the portions are bigger, and the food is a lot less oily. My personal go-to dish is the beef wrap and mapo tofu, both of which have been fresh, flavourful, and generously portioned everytime I've been here. Staff are polite and service is pretty quick. The restaurant itself is clean and can get pretty crowded during lunchtime. Overall, definitely worth going to this place.“

“Some of the best, wholesome cooked food I've had in a while. Ordered the popcorn chicken- was blwon away how moist it was. The chicken fried rice & beef pho were some of the best I've had. Having a halal vietnamese place is a blessing! Staff is kind and attentive aswell. Reasonable pricing overall too.“

“I was really excited to visit this shop after watching their YouTube videos. You can clearly see how much passion they have for coffee and how committed they are to supporting the community, which is what made me want to come in.
I stopped by on a Monday to buy a bag of whole beans to brew at home. I asked for a recommendation and mentioned I was planning to do pour-overs. I was also trying to find something that was not fruity and leaned more bold, since I have had light, fruity coffees in the past that were not my preference.
I was recommended a Flower Child coffee, which turned out to be very light and fruit-forward. While it was not the right fit for my personal taste, it was clearly a high-quality coffee and I can see why someone who enjoys floral and fruity profiles would really love it.
I think this shop shines in the quality of their beans and the care they put into sourcing. For customers who are still learning coffee terminology, a bit more guidance or clearer labeling could make the experience even better.
Overall, this is a great spot with knowledgeable people and a strong mission, and I definitely plan on coming back. Now that I know more about how to describe what I like, I am excited to try something else next time.“

“As always, this place is amazing for its food and wonderful service. I love the fact that management will make rounds to the tables even during a busy evening.
This is a place we frequent
For dinners, we even come for Saturday or Sunday Lunches.

The menu is large enough to choose something new every time. Although we have our favorites like the French dip that is amazing, the Ruben and the lamb burger is my absolute favorite. They have a good selection of cocktails at reasonable prices.“

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

“You know this place is on another level when you see the same regular at opening each morning. Generous portions. Food is delicious - pancakes and omelettes are fluffy not dry, one of the best biscuit and gravy (biscuit not too big and starchy, just perfect).“

“It’s the jewel of the east side the food the beer the atmosphere family owned great place to enjoy ❤️“

“Underrated place. Tried the patty melt sandwich here was an absolute banger. The taste and texture both were on point. The portion size was just perfect - left me satiated without feeling like I overate. Prices were great too! Definitely recommend the place.“

“We're here for our happy new year brunch with lovely Mary Ellen & Thom Duell singing on the patio. All the staff has been great, from the hostess to the bartender and Eva B as our server. Eva was accommodating and helpful with any questions. It was a great start to the year.“

“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.“

“La comida es super deliciosa“

“Excellent, authentic, very tasty. Ida the owner and chef very attentive.. nice patio seating.. 5 easy stars“

“Giving thanks for Cali Pizza. The paneer-pesto pizza is still my favorite—fresh, balanced, and perfectly crisp with paneer cooked just right.

In a time when so much has gone up 30%+, they’ve kept prices steady and quality high. No shortcuts, no smaller slices—just real ingredients and kind people. It’s the kind of integrity that reminds you what a local business can be.

Thank you for taking care of the community. Happy Thanksgiving, and keep doing what you do.

“Authentic Hawaiian shave ice! Ultra fine shave ice, sweet syrupy flavors, sno cap (condensed milk) mochi, ice cream. I recommend their large size, which includes two flavors. Be bold and add the sno cap, and haupia ice cream! They also feature some fancy specials like their strawberry shortcake: ice cream and strawberries!“

“Great food would definitely go again“

“Awesome atmosphere!! Amazing employees!!“

“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.“

“The seating is wonderfully spacious with a campy charm that feels fun. The staff are welcoming and attentive. Once you park, someone from the restaurant steps in as an honorary crossing guard, helping you cross safely. The complimentary bread was soft, warm, and clearly fresh from the oven. The marinara sauce in the farfalle mafiusa stood out for its bright and fresh tomato flavor. The pansotti was very tasty. The tomato butter sauce in it was rich yet beautifully balanced. The coconut mousse martini was dessert in a glass, but without the heaviness. The chocolate fondant cake was dense, and unapologetically sweet. Would happily come back again!“

“Great fish and potato cakes today. Ordered snapper and was served on plate with fresh lemon. was crunchy and tasty. Clean and cool indoor area, with quick service. Recommend“

“This place is an absolute gem! ✨ Cozy, beautiful, and full of charm. We were warmly welcomed by the wonderful host, and the atmosphere instantly gave us that perfect “go-to brewery” vibe. I visited with my partner, and we loved sampling the tastings. The host went above and beyond to make sure we found flavors we enjoyed, and their attention to customer experience was outstanding. Thank you so much for hosting us — we’ll definitely be back! 🍻“

“The best in the whole world. Try it.“

“The couple that runs this place are some of the hardest working people I know.
Whether it is good management, or a supportive customer base, the bagels are always fresh and much of it runs out by the early afternoon.
The owner also makes a great ice mocha!“

“Everything was delicious! Will definitely be back“

“Starting off with the aesthetics of the place, it’s really modern with a clean minimalistic style, it also has a Mumu tea bar on the side and also a sauce bar to make your own sauces for the meats. 5/5 on the place itself

The food is also great. It’s has pretty reasonable prices as you are paying for quality meat and also lots of side dishes. Really good options for the soup bases, personally I love the tom yum soup base. It has a mix of sweet and a kick of spiciness with it. Additionally I got the iced matcha here too, it comes filled to the brim, the matcha is very smooth, creamy and not too sweet or too bitter with matcha. It has a really similar taste when I went to Korea for matcha. 5/5 on food and drinks.

Customer service is great here too, staff were very attentive with service such as checking up, water refills, adding more soup, getting the bill, etc. 5/5 on the service

Overall, if you haven’t tried this place, it’s definitely one of the top places to grab some hotpot. Great service and food here.“

“We really enjoyed our first trip to this charming small eatery in downtown San Jose. Tucked away on Post north of First St., without obvious signage, The Club can be hard to find, but is worth the search. The craft cocktails were creative, interesting, and delicious. The Kale salad was a large serving, with a tasty house made dressing and a variety of fresh ingredients. The Short Ribs are were tender moist and delicious, served over a small serving of parsnip purée. My seafood pasta was deliciously sauced with generous portions of shrimp and salmon, though a little more pasta would have been nice. Crème Brûlée was delicious. Prices are moderate, appropriate for quality. Service was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful,. Decor is minimalist but tasteful. Overall very enjoyable, a good time was has by all!“

“Cute place to do work, a couple of tables/seats and the service was good and fast! I do agree with others who said that $7 for a drink that is fairly small is a bit expensive. However I do appreciate that they have cool fun flavors. Also be mindful that theres not a lot of outlets if you are there to do work.“

“there sandwich are delicious and yummy too“

“Fresh food, fast service, and love the ambiance. Throw back music is chef kiss. No wait time too! It's not too busy where I have to wait for awhile but I take this any day any time as someone from out of town and need to grab quick bite. This completes the trip!“

“Such a cozy little gem in San Jose. The coffee was rich and smooth, and the vibe was super chill😊“

“su aroma , único q ka distingue“

“There was a dog there and she was friendly. Drank beer and made a new dog friend! 10/10 would recommend to everyone.“

“Loving all the food and clean place“

“Absolutely delicious!! So good actually we forgot to take photos. The crust, sooooo flakey, buttery yumminess. Love how many options they have, including vegetarian and event dessert style!

The service impeccable. It felt like the family opened their home to share their special food with us.

Still tasting the Choriqueso Empanada-Like a warm hug. Don’t forget to ask for the extra hot sauce!!“

“First time stopping by - had heard great reviews ~ they weren’t lying ~ we got THE MOST AMAZING CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES!!!!! Gunther’s knows whats up!!!!! 🍪🍪🍪💖“
