“Muy delicioso 😋 me gusta mucho“

“Mole pablano enchiladas were excellent.“

“The best cookies I’ve had in a while. I don’t have much of a sweet tooth but these are so so good! I love the new variety of flavors every week and how they’re so unique and different than the generic cookies you buy in the grocery store. The price isn’t too bad either! For a box of 6 cookies it’s $22 but the cookies are HUGE. I can never finish one by myself so I leave them to the rest of my family. Also pro tip download the crumble app so you can earn free rewards. 100 points equals to $10 you can use towards the cookies.“

“This is exactly the type of neighborhood coffee shop I love discovering. The moment you walk in, there's a warm, welcoming atmosphere that feels genuine and unpretentious. It's easy to see why so many locals make this part of their daily routine. The baristas are incredibly knowledgeable and clearly passionate about coffee. They take pride in what they do, and that dedication comes through in every drink they serve. I had the chance to try several different coffees, and each one was expertly prepared and full of character.“

“This was our first time trying Cali pizza, and we were not disappointed. The pizza was better than anything I have tried in San Jose. The gentlemen that helped me had such a great personality, and offered suggestions when navigating the Indian pizza choices. Medium spice level was perfect for me.
Let's all support this small business!“

“Service with a smile, toppings on toppings on toppings, very kind owners. Enjoyed some pizza and wings, the only thing I would change is the sauce ratio :) I’ll be sure to ask for a lil extra sauce next time. Looking forward to tasting more of Jennie’s Pizza in the future.“

“I have a bar in Hayward and I have to travel down here periodically to get soda syrup from a specific spot in Santa Clara. Traditionally I go to another sourdough deli, but accidentally put this one in instead on maps. I decided to go with it, figuring I’m down to try a new spot.

I was pleasantly surprised by the friendly man making the sandwiches(Unfortunately, I did not catch his name). He says he’s been working there since 1992. He was friendly and accommodating. I loved his energy, it’s clear he’s still very happy to work there. The woman at the register was equally as pleasant.

Keep in mind it is cash only, but they have an 🏧 if needed.

My sandwich was to die for. I guess this was the original restaurant to the one that I usually go to. So the sourdough bread was the same drool-worthy sourdough.

I sat outside on such a beautiful day, and their lush garden was very pleasant.

I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a good sandwich in the area.“

“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“

“Greeted warmly as i entered and met a friendly smile at the register. It was my 1st time at this location, Almaden, and very surprised by the great variety of offerings. I went with the portobello mushroom panini and tomato bisque soup. YUM YUM delicious 😋 Looking forward to coming back with my squad and trying different items. Come check this!“

“What can you say about In N Out burger. Best burgers 🍔 around.“

“So *happy* this place exists!!! The braised mock pork and daikon dish was delicious and very satisfying. I grew up eating this kind of food so it was nostalgic :) glad I can still experience it in some way. The owners/staff are always so friendly and warm! Looking forward to coming back already.“

“dr.ink is such a hidden gem in the heart of downtown san jose, literally right across from san pedro sqaure market! the staff were super welcoming and genuinely took the time to recommend drinks based on what we liked. they also explained how each drink is crafted and what their specialties are, which made the experience feel way more personal and fun.

the atmosphere is cozy, calm, and perfect if you need a quiet study spot, want to get work done, or just catch up with friends over coffee. the drinks were amazing and you can tell they really care about quality here. definitely recommend checking this spot out if you’re in downtown sj!“

“there sandwich are delicious and yummy too“

“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.“

“Reached House of Bagels around 10 AM on a weekend, and there was already a huge line outside the door—which definitely raised my expectations. Even though the line was long, it moved at a surprisingly good pace, and we were able to place our order in about 20 minutes.

We ordered:

* Two sausage, egg & cheese jalapeño bagel sandwiches
* One with tomato basil cream cheese
* One with jalapeño cream cheese
* A Double Dutch Mocha
* And a chai tea

The service was impressively fast because we got our entire order in less than 5 minutes.

They have a few outdoor tables, but since it was drizzling, we decided to take the food home instead.

The bagels themselves were soft, fresh, and nicely made. I personally wished the jalapeño bagel had a bit more jalapeño flavor compared to similar bagels I’ve had elsewhere, but overall the sandwich was very satisfying. The sausage, egg, and bagel ratio was spot on, making every bite balanced and filling.

The tomato basil cream cheese was absolutely delicious and added great flavor to the sandwich. The jalapeño cream cheese, however, was a bit disappointing and lacked the kick I expected.

Special mention for the Double Dutch Mocha—easily a 100/10. Rich, smooth, and honestly one of the best drinks from the meal. On the other hand, the chai tea was disappointing and tasted more like warm milk with a little cinnamon rather than actual chai.

Overall, it was still a really good experience, and I’d definitely go back to try more items from their menu.“

“The first time here and it was wonderful. Kim and Kelly guided us through the process offering suggestions and samples along the way. Being able to try things is a great touch. Everything we sampled was delicious but we settled on the steak and chicken. Delicious will be back to this friendly restaurant.“

“Everything was delicious! Will definitely be back“

“Hey Bill! Good to see you today! As always my cheesesteak was spot on. Holidays are happier when seeing old friends. HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎈🌟“

“GREAT garoto coffee...the espresso with foamy milk.. so smooth, not bitter nor too strong. The portuguese cheese and prosciutto sandwich was good but next time will not get it toasted as the cold cheese itself is wonderful! the Pasteis di nata are the best littleegg tarts as I found them to be a bit dry, but then again get another coffee! Owner was so friendly and the place adequate for being an older establishmen.“

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

“Nice restaurant in Vietnamtown. The food is good.“

“Went for brunch. Love the food.
We got the shrimp and grits, chilaquiles, and truffle fries.
I like how the shrimp and grits has peas and greens to break up the heartiness. It's not too salty.

Chilaquiles portion is quite large! They use ground sausage so it's almost like a sauce.

Truffle fries was ok. I think it could use a bit more salt. And the truffle drizzle can be more generous as not every fry was covered.

We don't drink alcohol so we didn't try the espresso martini, but it looks delicious!“

“I'm chanel kgirl gypsy finally found a location that I'm on my way too try I been looking for a place like this ever since I left Hawaii once u try shaved ice cream you can't get enough of it I'll let you guys know once I'm try and have me a cup of shaved ice cream“

“Love this place, they have the best fried tofu and service is fast!“

“First time eating here and it was a great experience! Staff was fun and seem to be enjoying themselves! GOOD FOOD!~“

“love the staff, coffee, non gmo milk and miss my pals I hung with moved down south.“

“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.“

“my fiance & son & I came out for the first time & we all couldn't stop saying how great to perfection each of our plates tasted , awesome service friendly“

“Great food. Steeler Nation!“

“yo llevo años llendo a mariscos costa alegre muy buen servicio y la comida para mi muy buenos los mariscos y los molcajetes cada vez que puedo me voy allá a desestresarme“

“Goku Sushi is a real gem!! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and the staff was attentive. We ordered a variety of rolls, and each one was a delight. The Mango roll was outstanding. The presentation of the food was also beautiful. We'll definitely be back! By the way, we came to the one on Blossom Hill !!“

“Nice hang out tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. Staff are really pleasant and fun. Good selection of beer and pretty decent Belgian quads. They also have some unique beer options which were fun to try (like their Ube beer). They unfortunately lost me with their Hazies, way too light and watered down. Should you arrive feeling a bit peckish, they have a food truck present. Overall worth a stop if close by, or if brewery hopping.“
