Served traditionally with multiple sides, it includes: • Sambar, rasam, kara kuzhambu, kootu, poriyal • Chapati, appalam, curd, and rice • Ends perfectly with sweet payasam Every item is flavorful, well-balanced, and gives that authentic “home food” vibe. The variety and combination make it super satisfying.“

“This place is so yummy!! Everything we ordered was delicious . The leftovers tasted even better the next day. The service was great. He attentive but not bugging us every few minutes.
It's a bit loud but that's because it's always packed with people.
The one bummer about this place is the bathrooms. They are always gross. They are wet and dark. But I'm still going to keep going there.“

“Mole pablano enchiladas were excellent.“

“My absolutely favorite resturant as a vegetarian!🌸

“One of the best Thai places in Bay Area!! Great quality food!! Great food good price good service I feel so comfortable and everything delicious 😋😘😘😘😍😍“

“The pizza was so deliciously. The crust was thin, cheese is melty, and sausage/pizza was juicy and not overwhelmingly salty.

I would definitely say their pizza is the best in San Jose; at least from what I’ve had so far.. and I’ve tried many pizza places.“

“Food is nothing short of amazing. Large menu and especially good for vegetarians and those who are into healthy options and unwilling to sacrifice taste. Really good kids menu. It's crowded and loud on Friday night, so you'll need a little patience if you go then.“

“How have I not reviewed Shin’s yet? We are regulars here since they opened and it’s one of my kids’ first picks when we want to eat out. Their tofu stew is done so well, with plenty of tofu and meat. They also make the best fish cake side! All the workers are really nice and professional. This is a neighborhood gem!“

“Had a fantastic brunch experience here! The food and drinks came out quickly, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive throughout the visit. The red chilaquiles with carnitas were a must-try—packed with flavor and absolutely delicious. The relaxed atmosphere made it the perfect place to enjoy a slow, comfortable meal. Great service, amazing food, and a welcoming vibe make this a spot I’d happily return to again.“

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

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

“Its a good place. A little $expensive$ but not bad at all. My husband and I devoured the spicy beef pho and shaking beef. The beef was juicy and tender and the pho’s broth was so savoury and comforting. Would be coming back for the pho!“

“Lamb is to salivate over“

“Great food. Steeler Nation!“

“This is a Wonderful Tradition & Addition to Silicon Valley! A place where you are assured of Good Quality 100% Vegetarian Cuisine & Meals. What is even better is that they also serve Wine! A Restaurant with a History from back in India! An iconic Restaurant. An Indian Vegetarian Restaurant with A Selection of Wines!!!“

“I love this place I have been going here for years“

“every time I run there the food's been excellent“

“We had been wanting to try Bharat Social’s veggie burger for a long time, and we finally got to try their Veggie Burger, Jain Burger, and Cold Coco. The burgers were fresh, with perfectly crispy patties and well-balanced flavors that make you want to come back again.

The Cold Coco was refreshingly indulgent and authentic - a great choice for anyone who appreciates quality vegetarian food made with attention to detail.

Highly recommend this place for its Cold Coco and what is quite possibly the best Veggie Burger and Jain Burger in the Bay Area.“

“A must stop for banh mi when visiting San Jose. The line is almost always out the door, sometimes to the end of the building or longer. However, it moves fairly quick, as there's usually multiple cashiers taking orders. The longest wait is actually waiting for your completed order.

They're mostly famous for their banh mis, and sells them in two sizes, small and large. The small is convenient for people who can't finish a whole large by themselves. They also do sell a lot of other things in there, like nem, gio, xoi, etc. It's hard to go in there and not come out with a lot of things.“

“I love that this place is still here. Great bread, great sandwiches, I only wish it wasn’t “cash only”. At least they have an expensive ATM if you need cash in a pinch. This place is exactly how I remember the first time I visited back in the mid 90’s. Nice to have original places still around and preserved. Great comfortable outdoor patio too!“

“Auténtica, comida mexicana, donde Leti aparato paladar ven y prueba nuestro rico variedad de platillo 🌮🌮🌮“

“Can't beat the pick up special(comes with one topping) prices here - massive family size pizza for $26 or small (1 size up on personal) for $12. They also have a weekday special to get a personal pizza and a soda for $8. Great people, quick service, solid pizza - zero complaints. Highly recommend“

“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.“

“Great food, fun ambiance! I’m impressed :)“

“They have to best ravioli. My family has been getting them for over 60 years. I live in texas now, I haven't been there in years, I miss them so much! Most of my family is in Sacramento now and will go to La Villa just to get the ravioli!“

“Highly recommend, they will treat you right. Feels like Family.“

“everything is delicious!!! skewers, drumsticks and the bun Bo hue is the BEST!!!“

“Food was good. Great broth for the pho. The grilled chicken was delicious. Fast and efficient service.“

“What a hidden gem! The snowflake potstickers are so crispy and juicy, best enjoyed in the restaurant! My son gets so excited to go here before his baseball practice. My daughter loves their soup dumplings, and the fried rice is our family favorite. Staff is always kind.“

“At poke places, it is so important for the food to be fresh. You don't have to worry about this here. The staff is willing to help you arrange your bowl if you want any suggestions about pairings. Highly 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!“

“Friendly waitresses like Vanessa and good food at fair prices!“

“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.“

“Quintessential hole-in-the-wall restaurant. The amok and cabbage salad are insanely good, and every other dish we've tried is solid too! Portions for some dishes may appear small, but the superb flavor will fill you up! Be prepared to chat with the owner. For families with young kids, there is only one high chair, but it doesn't get very crowded there. They are very nice and accommodating with children. The food came out super fast.“
