“So good! Our first time and definitely not our last!“

“This was my first time at Gish, and it didn't disappoint us. It was quite hard to get a reservation, and there must've been a cancellation when it showed an open reservation on the same day. Gish serves dinner only from 6 - 10 pm, and our dinner course took a full 2 hours, which meant they can only have two turnovers. It is a small place with about 25-26 seats total, with 4 seats right in front of the kitchen. They only have a single 4-course meal on the menu that changes every month, and you have to make a reservation in blind about a month ahead since there is no clue what the next month's menu will be. For December, the first course was tofu with winter green salad, which was quite refreshing, and we both enjoyed it very much. The second course, makgeolli mussel bean stew, was an interesting attempt, but it was a bit too salty for our taste - I think mainly it was the reduction of the clam juice and makgeolli. Toasted Manresa sourdough was great. The main course was beef cheek jjim, which was very tender and didn't need to use the knife at all. radish, kimchi, pomegranate, and mushroom somehow all provided a nice balance and interesting, unique taste. Dessert was goguma medley, which was my wife's favorite dessert. Overall, it was quite a pleasure, a nice surprise dinner for both of us, and we will be back for certain. It would be nice to give a heads up on the next month's menu so that people don't end up making a reservation then cancelling later. 2 2-hour dinner is nice for a special event dinner, but it may be a bit too long for others. I'd recommend this place to others to try, but be aware that the reservations fill up quickly, but I think many people end up cancelling too, so it is a bit of hit and miss. Very nice professional staff, explains every food and ingredient, and nice ambiance. Song selection can be hard to please everybody, but my preference is a bit lower volume. We will be back certainly on next occasion.“

“MONDAY FOOD REVIEW...PUESTO...6/17/24! After leaving California's Great America, we stopped for lunch at Puesto, a Mexican/American restaurant, located at 2752 Augustine Dr., in Santa Clara. This restaurant features Mexican dishes with an American flare infusion! I had their their Shrimp a la Plancha, which is Mexican shrimp, garlic butter, red onions, jalapeños, guajillo chile, avocado, and Tamarindo-chile sauce, and it comes with herb lime rice, black beans, and blue corn tortillas. This was absolutely fabulous!!! It wasn't your typical Mexican dish...the different ingredients they used to create this dish all blended together VERY well!!! If you are looking for a little something different to satisfy your Mexican food craving, and want some added flair, then this is THE restaurant to go to!!! I HIGHLY recommend it!!!! My rating: 10++++“

“We tried the Vada Pav, Missal Pav, Pav Bhaji and Bharli Vangi (stuffed eggplant) and puranpoli - all of them were 10/10. Although we had to wait a while for our turn (a good sign), the service was quick once we had the table. Highly recommend and we'll be back next time we are in Santa Clara!“

“Thoughtful gluten free options which are so hard to find. Clean, well run. Insane dessert crepe w Nutella and a ton of fresh fruit. Never would have known it wasn’t gluten-full. Berry smoothie w oat milk too, ‘cause we’re gluttonous. Highly recommend!“

“Mike and Jacob helped us today going back this weekend to get my music in!!!“

“Very attentive staff and delicious food“

“Great ramen and reasonable“

“It’s my first time bringing my kids to Valley Fair for shopping today, I discovered this ice cream shop is such a hidden gem!My son’s eyes lit up after the first bite , saying “this ice cream is amazing” I tried it too, really good!It’s become a must visit spot for us.“

“Came on Wednesday for happy hour, and they were busy! They only had 2 servers working, but they were very efficient! We ordered the black garlic tonkatsu and intense mala broths. Both were really good! The mala broth wasn’t too spicy (even though we ordered extra spicy). The meats were great, and I especially enjoyed the Wagyu and beef toro cuts. They had a large selection of sides and veggies as well. I’d definitely come again, and happy hour pricing is so worth it!“

“Authentic and delicious. Friendly staff.“

“Lately I've seen that each customer has to deal with 2-3 people. One of them gets you a seat, another one will take the order and the third one will get the order and take care everything is going good for the customer. It can be confusing as a customer to know which person to call for any help.“

“I had a birthday party of about 18 here and it went great! The staff was so helpful and welcoming! The vibes inside were great. The staff helped set up super smash on the big tv and everyone had fun playing together. The variety of games available (maplestory, overwatch, league, etc) kept everyone engaged the 3hrs we were there. Thanks again to the staff for the support!“

“The service attitude here is great. I like the drinks very much. It feels very magical, like a magic potion🥰“

“This place is a wonderful place to enjoy a super delicious meal. Our waitress San was a joyful, energetic person.“

“Never leave reviews. Just HAD to this time!! Outstanding meal & cust svc. Had the French onion soup burger - TO DIE FOR‼️But it’s at least FOUR napkins. Took 1/2 burger home. So delish & filling. The staff VERY friendly & helpful. I went to Cap Exp to meet a friend. Can not wait to try Law Exp (near me). You won’t be sorry. Enjoy‼️‼️“

“Raises the Tea bar considerably!“

“Went on Thanksgiving Day , we ordered cocktails Aged Tropic Old Fashioned and Whistlepig Barrel Aged Smoked Old Fashioned. Both drinks were amazing but the Whistlepig Old Fashioned is the best. Tried the Chipotle Steak Bits and Crab Croquettes very tasty. The set Thanksgiving menu was fabulous. (Key lime pie❤️)So far the best as for Going out on Thanksgiving. I will definitely be back to try their steaks and seafood platter hope it doesn't disappoint. Thanks to the amazing Chef and staff who worked on Thanksgiving holiday !“

“avocado toast and latte with oat milk ... the coffee is great!“

“The ice cream taco was good but namely for the novelty. As ice cream, it's texture pales in comparison to the titans of Bay Area ice cream. Great for snacking if you're in the area but don't make a pilgrimage for it. The service is prompt but you'll have trouble finding parking in the area. Great for a little date, it's clean but there's not a lot of seating. It's fairly sweet as well, so I would just share my taco.“

“Perfect for watch parties.“

“I discovered this place earlier this year and keep coming back because the banh mi are delicious and perfectly portioned, and the staff are so friendly and quick with your orders! My favorite is the special combo (#1) but my husband and I also like the grilled pork and grilled beef. The banh bao steamed buns are also delicious and make for a great snack!“

“One of the better dive bars I have been to! Not too loud, great service and drinks, and just a great vibe in general. Would recommend if you’re looking for a chill place to hang out watch some sports and relax. No food though and the place is a little dark (if you don’t mind dim lighting). I did go early (4-7 pm), so no music but a dj did come on later and played some amazing rock music! Anyone playing linkin park at a bar, already gets a 5 on 5 for me!“

“Great food! My moms first time and couldn’t stop raving about the chicken adobo and the halo halo. It’s pricey but good. And the staff is very nice.“

“Great food, nice outdoor seating and good people, they serve you with a smile.. i like that.. 👍👍“

“Very large and crowded mall in San Jose. It one of the larger one in bay area between San Francisco and San Jose. As shopping mall is closing one by one, this one seem stand strong. This mall have everything a to z. From cheaper stuff to luxury item. This mall also have supermarket and Deparment store. It has very nice food court and couple restaurant.
It has couple displays which can show you the store location. May be in the future it can have display which can help you navigate with point direction 😀.
Eventhough it has huge parking area, sometimes it could be a challange to find or get out. Over Christmas time ,it took us almost 2 hours to get out from parking garage. I think the management need more stuff to help on traffic at the parking lot especially it is paid paid parking now.“

“We host workshop here and the environment is cozy and chill“

“Easily the best sandwich of my lifetime. I paused after every bite, saying “Damn, this is amazing”. The bread had that perfect crust and taste. While I’m at it, it’s also hard for me to remember a better tasting chocolate chip cookie.“

“Very Good quality of meat barbecue. But service is bad.“

“Perfect ristretto - and good advice on where to find real espresso bars ☝️😎🌋“

“Great service, the man at the front was very personable and hospitable. Gave us great service and a great portion size for the price. I had the Korean spicy pork which gave me nostalgia of having it back home. Really tasty and rich. My coworker had the hot punch sandwich which he enjoyed he definitely wants to try a more special sandwich next time. Overall great time, good food, and good portions.“

“Excellent products and great attention from the staff Many tables inside, cozy atmosphere Sometimes in summer we set outside I highly recommend this place.“

“we love their southwest garden salad, lettuce wraps with tofu and eureka american burger with veggie patty. Really like that they have an option of veggie patty in every burger of theirs. The taste is amazing and the service. their ginger lime soda is also good. overall I totally recommend this place.“

“Where I go to get uplifted. Employees are so nice. I get my favorite drink, Cafe Fresco 24 oz, little conversation, dog biscuits, they let me vent if I've had a bad day. It is so close to home and I feel so calm and happy when I'm there. The chocolate muffins are so good, though the blueberry are better for you and pretty tasty.“

“The food here was so delicious definitely recommend coming here prices are reasonable
as well as the portion size you should definitely come check this place out if you haven’t your honestly missing out the decorations are such a vibe the place is very nice an clean it be making you feel like you are in Korea they also go over beyond for you definitely coming here again btw this was my first time coming here! :)“

“I had such a great experience at Orange Square! The atmosphere is warm, modern, and welcoming — a perfect spot to relax, catch up with friends, or get some work done.

The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, and the service felt genuinely thoughtful. I especially appreciated the small touches — clean space, good music at the right volume, and the kind smiles from everyone there.“

“The cups at this place is the main appeal with them giving you glass cups that you can keep. They also sold their own cups with anime related art on them. The drinks themselves were ok. But there wasn't much space to sit and do work, with not much outlets and the counter was a little dirty. There were also some boxes visible which made it looks a little messy.“

“Delicious ice cream and recommend the matcha/ strawberry 🍓 yummy 😋“

“we are here a lot,fresh food, clean and neat area, staff are great.“

“The food was amazing. The service was also great (Tyler served us)“

“Beautiful interior, best chai latte close to what my chai would be. Friendly staff, fast service.“

“Barebottle Brewing is a true treasure for craft beer enthusiasts! Their selection is nothing short of impressive, featuring rotating taps with bold, inventive flavors that keep every visit exciting. I sampled the Hazy IPA and a seasonal sour; both were phenomenal: fresh, balanced, and full of character. You can tell they put serious thought and passion into their brewing process.
The vibe is lively and welcoming, with plenty of space to relax with friends or enjoy a laid-back afternoon. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and always eager to suggest something new. Extra points for the fun events and food trucks that turn each visit into a mini celebration.
Pricing is fair for the quality, and the atmosphere is perfect for anyone who loves great beer and good company. If you’re in Santa Clara and looking for an exceptional craft beer experience, Barebottle Brewing is a must-visit!“

“fast customer service and good food“

“Love Tan-Cha. Great drink and great service 🥰🥰🥰“

We will be back again soon :)

“I moved to Santa Clara about 5 years ago and this is the ONLY bagel shop we ever go to!! The food is fantastic, always fresh ingredients and delicious bagels. The staff is always so friendly, nice, and helpful.

But my favorite thing on the entire menu is the Vietnamese Iced Coffee!!! This is a little known hidden gem, but Cramer's Bagels proudly offers the most delicious iced coffee available on the entire planet. I simply do not go to Starbucks anymore. The flavor and energy is unmatched!

Basically if there was a rating higher than 5 stars I would give it. You won't be disappointed!“

“I love this location! My smoothies are always made so tasty! Marisa is so nice and personable. She recommended that I get the mozzarella bites and I’m so glad that I listened to her because they are delicious! I ended up coming back later that day more!“

“This is a nice street food you need to try. The menu has plenty of selections. I tried lamb skews, beef skews, bean skews, fried chicken bones, and the hot pot. I like everything, except the fried chicken bones. The food is mild. The owner is really friendly. I will come back to try others.“

“Went for lunch with two co-workers. We were seated inside right away. The staff were nice and attentive. I'm a Pacific Catch rewards member, and I received a message stating that you could have a free shareable if you let your server know. We decided to have the Coconut Shrimp for the shareable, which was very good! We also enjoyed eating the Japanese Wasabi Original Ahi Poke bowl.
Here's some of the selections that I've had in the past at various Pacific Catch restaurants that I really liked. Seabass Skewers, Baja Shrimp Ceviche, Guaca-Poke, Grilled Asparagus, Sushi Rolls, Miso Black Cod, Lobster Roll, Taco Plater, Fish and Chips, Kanpachi, Chocolate Lava cake, Pineapple Right Side Up cake, Hula Brownie Sundae.“
