“Muy delicioso 😋 me gusta mucho“

“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.“

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

“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. 👌🏻“

“Good Memories of the One in the Pruneyard and Santa Cruz. AND the Coffee Cake Is Devine like No Other. Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner It Is Really GOOD.“

“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!“

“Food are delicious. especially their soup. friendly staff and clean restaurant“

“Mole pablano enchiladas were excellent.“

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

“come with family and enjoy“

“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!“

“the lettuce wrap was amazing. super delicious.“

“We had an outstanding lunch at Zazil! The food was delicious: fish tacos were fresh and bright and the enchiladas suizas were incredibly flavorful. The real standout was the fresh guacamole made tableside immediately after we ordered it. There is a reason we saw it on every table!
There were plenty of outdoor and indoor seating options, perfect for people watching.
The atmosphere was elevated and refined but not fussy.
We will definitely return!“

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

“Met a friend for drinks! Bartender was friendly and engaging! Atmosphere was energetic and their appetizer meatballs were amazing! Will definitely go back! ❤️“

“Very very delicious food. Portions are super big, with one order two adults can eat generously, we had soufflé omelette which was super delicious, the plate comes with two BIG pancakes. Hosts are very kind and nice service is amazing and it is cheeeaaaap. I Recommend it 100000% ,“

“Really good, authentic Vietnamese food. Shame people don't know about it, or they would have access to really great, fresh, and tasty pho and banh mi. Popcorn chicken had fried basil, it was out of this world.Can't wait to try everything else“

“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.“

“La comida es super deliciosa“

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

“su aroma , único q ka distingue“

“Visited over the weekend after running errands with my besties. Omni approved, we ordered so much! Ordered the Mapo Tofu Rice Set, with side dishes, Pan-fried Plant Based Chop Set, Avocado Rolls, I got the Happiness Over Rice - it was sweet and totally devoured it! I also ordered the Avocado smoothie, one of my favorites sometimes other places make it too watery. This one was fluffy and very tasty! For dessert we shared the Chocolate Tiramisú. Would totally return! Wonderful service too! Updated from previous review on 2026-04-06“

“great food. great patio.“

“This place is definitely worth trying! The service is great and the quality of the food tastes amazing! The prices are a bit high if you don’t come on a day where it’s on sale. I would come on a Tuesday and Wednesday! We got the Tikka Masala chicken pizza, chicken combo, and the Butter chicken. I would say the best one out of the three would be the Tikka Masala chicken pizza because it had the best flavor! The pizzas are topped perfectly and we ordered them with extra sauce as well! Definitely would recommend supporting a local business if you’re in the area.“

“delicious food and drinks. breakfast, lunch and dinner, you can't go wrong. handmade Empanadas, classic breakfast and delicious Mexican dishes. yummy!!!!“

“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.“

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

“Love this place! The sandwiches are great and very no-frills. Everyone is super nice, and they have a great patio to sit to eat your lunch. 10/10 would come back.

FYI: there is no parking lot, however there’s street parking on the side streets.“

“Decided to get sushi for Valentine’s Day with the wife, they were able to set us immediately. Very busy for Valentines so expected a few delays but the staff were great and Sheamir provided great service. Loved the unagi nagiri, wife really enjoyed the ramen, and we both enjoyed the hot Cheetos sushi roll.“

“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!“

“Great food would definitely go again“

“Awesome atmosphere!! Amazing employees!!“

“Take-out only. FAV BAHN MI SPOT!! If you see a long line, don't fret: it moves quick and it's super worth it. Favourite is grilled pork and Vietnamese iced coffee. Just don't block the entrance of the poor taco shop next door. They get quite cross.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Everything was delicious! Will definitely be back“

“there sandwich are delicious and yummy too“

“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“

“Excellent blues music👍Great Venue.“

“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!“

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

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

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

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

“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.“

“Great food. Steeler Nation!“

“My first time going here and I can confirm it didn’t disappoint . The food is fresh and delicious. Definitely worth a try. My favorite combo is sweet potato noodles with teriyaki chicken. Overall amazing customer service and great atmosphere.“

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