“This is a perfect spot for foodies! There were a mix of folks on a date night and families, too. Nice open space and ambience. We were drawn by the options on their asian fusion menu. I started off with an old-fashioned with a bit of cinnamon… really good! Our teens, my husband, and I enjoyed all our dishes- bulgogi fries, spicy Brussels sprouts, scallops, hella crab spaghetti, and loco moco. The mango sticky rice was a great way to end the meal. The food was delicious and presented beautifully!Service was also super-friendly and attentive. I guess this spot is currently more known for their breakfast/brunch, so we’ll have to come back to check it out.“
“Service was super slow and portions were really small from the regular menu. Went for the Riesling tasting which was actually very good price with delicious bites. Setting is very romantic. Was lucky to pop in on a day where coincidentally there was live piano and a singer on a Weds. Very much a hidden gemVegetarian options: Doesn’t have an extensive vegetarian menu. Just found soup and a beer salad“
“I don't leave reviews, but OF really deserves it. Unexpectedly heading back to Campbell for a friend's wedding soon and I am excited about the chance to dine here again. We were there in Oct '23 and did the 'let us cook' option. The food was great, some slight misses but that should be expected with experimentation. For our 16th? plate they pulled up a table and served us a Blue Fin Tuna collar. It was insane and great and everything that makes a memory.The crew is obviously having fun and are proud of what they are doing. Most of our tasting plates were right off the menu and hit the mark. If you’re on the fence and a little adventurous give them a chance. It was the most memorable meal of our 4 day culinary trip. The night before we dined at some really fancy place in Yountville. That says a lot.“
“A charming and delightful Basque tapas restaurant in Los Gatos with plenty of parking and a well prepared assortment of tapas and Spanish tortillas. The owners are very friendly and helpful and their wine and beer list has a nice list of very drinkable wines and other libations. It's also reasonably priced given the care taken in the kitchen. Try it and you won't be disappointed.“
“What a cute little spot in downtown! Stopped here for a girls night catch up and they had the perfect little room with a couch and fire for an intimate vibe. The ambiance is so perfect and cozy for a more relaxed night out. The bartenders were so nice and helpful when ordering. The food was pretty straight to the point but yummy so I can't complain. The viognier was crisp but I definitely enjoyed the Bella Montagna Sav Blanc more. I would definitely come back here for a date night!“
“shing and a little tart! I also got the crispy plantain taco which was amazing! As someone who just came back from Panama this was on par with the plantains out there! The crispness and saltiness from the taco paired with the sweetness of the cranberries and plantain was just perfect! The only problem was that it was a little bit dry so if there was a sauce to go with it?! The elote were really cool with an amazing shape almost curled up like ribs! They were tasty and had crema and tajin on them! However for their price I would have wanted a little more! I also got the churrasco steak! The steak itself was well cooked and flavorful with a little bit of tomato sauce! The charred vegetables were also amazing! Overall it was really an authentic dish with even the rice being unique with a completely different taste than normal! However I also wished they had some kind of sauce to go with the dish which would have made it just supreme! We ended off with a churro which was warm and gooey with a vanilla center which I loved! Overall the food here is authentic and unique, but it is on the pricier end. However for the amazing service and ambiance paired with the good food I would definitely give this place a try!“
“Been here a million times and took a million photos, yet this is the first time I’ve done a review.It’s pretty short and simple…..this place servers good vibes, tasty dranks and yummy snacks. Not sure if things have changed since the establishment opened, but they don’t serve hot foods as they don’t have a full kitchen. All their snacks are really good though (deviled eggs, spiced nuts). The drinks are REALLY good, like the best cocktail spot in town.We came on a Wednesday at 8pm and it was pretty groovin. I would def make a reservation for a Friday or Saturday. I’ve tried walking in with just two peeps and they are almost always full. They do have a big patio but even then, it’s so packed.Brian is the only face I recognize. Didn’t see Jacob. Both are friendly and knowledgeable about the drinks. I always go with their recommendation, and it never fails.Parking is easy. They have a standalone lot they share with a restaurant and other smaller nearby businesses, but there’s also a lot of street parking. Better yet, just Uber bc you will have at least three cocktails before you leave.“
“Authentic Japanese izakaya with a wide selection of delicious Japanese food, everything from ramen and sashimi to curry and bentos. Lots of great side dishes too, I personally enjoy the natto, sushi to pepper and tsukemono. They also have plenty of Japanese beers and sake. Open pretty late too (11pm) for when you get a late night craving for Japanese food.“
“Great atmosphere for a date night! We ordered the salmon tartare, rose tteokbokki, and kfc cauliflower for appetizers. All of them were great but I was most impressed by the tteokbokki!We followed with the short ribs and the basque cheesecake dessert. They were good but the appetizers were more impressive. I was also disappointed that they no longer did the sweet potato chiffon cake :(“
“Excellent for happy hour - food items at half off, and they taste pretty good. Wine choices are underwhelming but a good deal for members (20-30% off list price). Tasting event was busy but wines were meh. This location is a bit small, so it feels crowded and noisy. Even tables were so small that there wasn’t enough room for the food! No patio seating as Castro is blocked off - in fact, the neighborhood vibe has seriously degraded. The Los Gatos location is much more attractive and spacious (outdoor seating).“
“The food is just so, so good. I've been dipping my toes into slightly fancier food recently and this is the only place Ive been where I felt like everything I ate was genuinely fantastic. Got a bunch of the dishes, and not a single bite of any of them fell flat. I'll be back.“
“You can easily book a table online or just give the restaurant a call. Our group of four made a seamless entrance on time thanks to the reservation. They've got a diverse menu with nearly everything covered. The'Unagi Omelette 鰻魚玉子燒,' 'Yamaimo Sengiri 山藥紫蘇', and the 'Mentaiko Pasta 明太子麵' are my favorite. The beef tongue and clam soup were also delicious. If you're into Japanese food with a local casual dining feel, this place comes highly recommended! Plus, they have private booths for a more intimate family or friend gathering.“
“My friends an I visited 20Twenty on a Friday evening (no reservations, they don't take them) and found it SO busy! We arrived at 7 and waited around 40 minutes for a table to open up. The ambiance was cozy and warm, so parties were sticking around for a while. There was also a back patio and bar seating, but nothing large enough to accommodate our party of 5. Once we got seated, our server quickly came over with water and we ordered some wine. I chose the Liberty School Cabernet Sauvignon, which was pretty good, but I do wish they offered wine flights. For food, we got the Meatballs (SO good) and the 6 Item Make Your Own Board. They were out of Prosciutto, so my friends chose one of the other meats and we got 5 cheeses - the Quicke's Smoked Cheddar, OG Kristal Gouda, Cambozola, Manchego, and Blueberry Vanilla Goat Cheese. All of these were absolutely fantastic, but the Gouda and Goat cheese were probably my favorite. I wanted to try the Cypress Grove Humboldt Fog, but sadly they were out of this one too. The board itself was well assembled and perfect to share as a group. My friend also really enjoyed the Garlic Pesto Flatbread he ordered. Service was on the slower side, but I eventually ordered a glass of the Klinker Brick Old Vine Zinfandel, which I actually liked even more than the Cabernet. Overall, we enjoyed this spot and I can see it being really great for a date. Would return!“
“The food is a unique american asian cuisine with some surprises. I definitely recommend it for folks who like to try a restaurant that doesn't perfectly fit the mould of a particular cuisine.Nice service, reasonably good ambience and good food. Pretty good!“
“Decent spot but would recommend having few people to share the dishes with so you can try more things. They have a good selection of items to pick from. The pizza crust was very tasty but it lack fillings. Claypot was a decent size but the pork was a bit too tender. We also got the beef rolls but we didn’t enjoy it as much as it was very overcooked and had a weird texture.“
“Sijie restaurant truly stands out with its outstanding service and delightful dining experience. From the warm greetings at the entrance to the attentive staff throughout the meal, every aspect reflects a commitment to excellence. The menu, curated with precision, offers a delectable array of dishes that showcase the culinary expertise of the Four Sisters team. The ambiance, tastefully designed, complements the overall dining journey, making Sijie a must-visit for those seeking both exceptional service and exquisite cuisine.“
“You are walking around the neighborhood, catching the San Jose sunset and you come across a bar. Your friendly neighborhood bar.You walk in, greeted by friendly servers, eager to seat you. Instantly you feel welcomed and warm inside. You walk over to your seat, looking around, captivated by rustic vibes. The music, loud enough to appreciate and low enough to engage in friendly conversation. Glancing down at your menu, you see a variety of finger foods and drinks.You decide to enjoy a Margarita pizza. A yummy vegetarian option, covered in a sweet balsamic glaze. Your server comes to check in on you, they are full of smiles and service.Something about this bar gives you that safe, comfortable feeling, a place where you can watch a game or two, go on a date, read a book, make new friends and socialize. I 10/10 recommend this spot. They have events from time to time, live music, a variety of get togethers. Come alone or grab a group of friends. I’ve been here so many times in 2023, it’s became one of my frequent spot.“
Ramen • $$
“Amazing food as always. Cool robots that bring out your food too! I love that it serves comfort food and alcohol at the same time rather than just bar food.Parking: Parking spots are tight if you have a big vehicle and usually crowded but people come and go very quickly so you can always find a spot opening up by circling around.“
“Aloft Sunnyvale on its own is good enough value for money spent. However, what truly stood out was the customer ser ice of its front desk. Shoutout to Michelle for helping me out a ton when I was trying to extend my stay. No excuses were made and she found a way to get it done even under difficult circumstances. Roy was also great with the room upgrade when he saw that I had brought a friend and might have needed a bigger bed. 10/10 Customer Service!“
“Stumbled upon and had lunch at this little gem in Los Gatos. The crew and chef listened to my food mood and suggested and prepared a delicious and beautiful artichoke, caper flatbread, paired with the pickle plate! OMG super yummy!!Their complimentary olive oil and vinegar tasting room and wine bar, where they made me a sparkly virgin cocktail, is all about friendly, cozy, good vibes.Very chill and comfortable and I hear they also host private parties! I will definitely be back to sit out back! Oh yeah, and they’re also remote-work friendly, offering WiFi!Taking home a couple bottles, some guava jam and a full and happy belly!! Winning!!!“
“Cider Junction is a great spot to have a chill outing and try some cider while snacking on some delicious food! Their tap list does tend to change but there always seem to be lots of good options on there for each rotation! Our favorite this time around was the hemly pink lady - off-dry apple cider with pink lady, braeburn, and granny smith... it's like super apple!! We supplemented our flights with their loaded baked tator tots and their pretzel with beer cheese (always get the beer cheese over the mustard!!!!) We always love getting their pretzels - there's just something about cider and pretzels that make them pair together so well. Overall, it's a pretty chill and affordable spot to hang out! You can definitely get full off their food (and drinks of course) but I wouldn't go here for a meal specifically.“
“The food was wonderful! Taylor (I believe that was his name) was the best server and knew so much about the wine list. He said he created the wine list and his recommendations were right on point. If you are in Los Gatos-, don’t pass this one up!“
“Went in for lunch around 1:30 and was glad Kaita was still open and taking guests. We were seated right away. The people who work here are so sweet and welcoming and friendly! I love that about Kaita. I usually stick tot he specials but I was in the mood for simple and basic. I got the beef teriyaki for the first time here and I was very pleasantly surprised. Cooked perfectly medium and the sauce was good texture, not too thick or thin. I thought Gombei had the best teriyaki but this visit to Kaita may have changed my mind- definitely tied at least. The salad and miso hit the spot and the service was awesome! This is true comfort food for me, with plain white rice- best lunch out, in a long time! Wife had the chicken teriyaki donburi and she enjoyed that as well. It was a very large portion and she took a lot home for later. We had one soda and loved the complimentary tea. Lunch for two was $35.71 before tip. Can't beat that price, the quality and deliciousness of the food, and the friendly and genuine sweet service made our day!“
“Stopped by Leichi since it is close to me now that I've moved. Made a reservation a few hours before.Two of us ordered:-tako wasa $9, pretty good appetizer-sashimi 6 kinds $35.50, decent variety-nankotsu $9, chicken cartilage, really enjoyed it-nasu dengaku $9.50 egg plant, definitely avoid, almost too saucey to eat-tongue grill $15, fun to have a grill come out. Tasted ok.Overall decent meal. Will want to try their treasure box in the future.Parking is easy to find in the plaza.“
“We stopped by on a Tuesday evening without a reservation. While we are able to walk right in, there seemed to be an expectation that a reservation be made ahead of time. The place was relatively empty. Service was friendly. It was a little slow. Nice selection of drinks. However, they were out of the first three beers that I asked for.The food was good. We tried a buffalo burger and fish. Cooked well and filling.I am glad we tried it. There are a lot of options in the area, so I am not sure I would go back.“
“We went to Petiscos "Downtown" in San Jose for dinner with four adults on a Sunday night. The place is pretty, the food is good, and the people working there are friendly. Everything was good, not amazing but not bad either, just okay. The best things we ate were the house salad and the beans and olives to start with. The meatballs and grilled shrimps were good too. The drinks we had were good too. It's a nice spot to eat, and I'd say it's about a 4 out of 5.Vegetarian options: Lots of them, at least half of the menu“
“When we arrived, I was scared since there were several groups waiting to be seated. However we lucked out and they had a tatami table for our group of 4. (Raised table where you sit taking off your shoes and putting your legs under the table instead of sitting crossed legged). Although it was our first time here, I thought the room warm and the menu wide- lots of choices. My kids usually like dragon rolls but none here. They did have great bento boxes and the meishi(unagi on top of crispy fried rice) was delicious!! And the large was big enough my 16 year old son couldn’t finish it!!! The prices were good too!! Amazingly we all ordered fairly large portions and our bill was $124 so for a Japanese restaurant with fresh fish, I feel you can’t beat that price! Two appetizers plus two bento boxes and shashimi and meishi! Yum!!!“
“Awesome tapas, great ambience, quick service and very good dining experience. We went for a weekend lunch, there were a lot of guests but not overcrowded. The staff were friendly and service was prompt. The appetizer bread along with the dip was a delicious start; the crisp fried olives (stuffed with cheese) and Banana Lead chicken were absolutely unique. Recommended !“
“Went to Mango Crazy for the first time and it was absolutely delicious. I got the Agua Frescas that change everyday and I got the Pineapple & Mango. It was a good combination of sweet and fruity - a good drink for a hot summer day! The employee was incredibly nice and let us try every flavor or agua fresca they had and even told us that they make each agua fresca fresh early in the morning. It was nice and cool in there, pretty quiet but overall good vibes with their choice of music. It is a bit hard to find parking spot in that little place but I definitely recommend and will be coming back soon!“
“Came here with a couple of girlfriends on a Saturday evening and it was quite lively! There was live music which was a nice surprise. I got the Euro Trip flight and it was delicious, all the 3 wines are on the dry side so I definitely recommend for dry wine fans. We ordered the Pecan Coated Herb Goat Cheese w/ Crackers and it was so amazing, also came with honey. I'm definitely going to bring others here!“
“We went for Sunday Brunch. The restaurant was half full. The music was loud to the extent we could barely hear each other. The aesthetic is cute. Some parts of it are more picturesque than others. There are a few neon signs and artwork murals which are cute. The food was average. Nothing special. I had the eggs, pork sausage and potatoes. The potatoes were barely warm and hard like they have been under warmer too long. The pork sausage was good but burned on both sides. The eggs were luke warm but ok. Ill go back again and try other options to see if it was just an off day“
“gochi delivers on all marks - from the cozy japanese table interior, to the friendly service, to the tasty food. this seemingly gimmicky tapas restaurant serves hits all around. the menu is a little overwhelming which is usually a bad sign but all the recommended dishes were great. make sure to book a reservation through yelp. overall, would come back and great with a group to share.hamachi carpaccio: fresh fish, great acidity. would recommendgyuhire grill (beef tenderloin): so flavorful and rich. would recommendyuzu ceviche: another great starter with tasty ceviche. loved the fried chips and yuzu flavorokonomiyaki style pizza: unique pizza dish also pretty good but a little forgettableunagi menshi: must get!! amazing textures from the crispy rice on its own to the soft and warm rice when broth was added. also well seasoned and good unagi portion.“
“Came here with my girls for happy hour one day and I was actually quite surprised by the quality despite it being on the HH menu! We pretty much ordered everything from the HH selection. We started off with some cocktails which were super refreshing. We got 2 orders of pan con tomate, papas bravas, croquetas de jamon, pintxos morunos, and hamburgers which fed 10 people. If you're coming here for good vibes with a group of people, I would definitely recommend coming during happy hour when it's a little more affordable!“
“I have been here many times over the years and it hasn't gone too downhill. Yes, the quality has taken a hit and the prices have gone through a steep increase, but it is still reasonable compared to the other soju bars in Santa Clara's Ktown.They have a nice selection of alcohol and offer soju in fresh fruits. I am partial to their coconut soju served in a coconut ? and the pineapple soju?.They have some basic side dishes on hand because who can go without kimchi for some of these dishes? but you have to ask for it. You may also want rice even though it could taste old but you're too drunk to care.I like their seaweed rolls with vermicelli because they fry it like spring rolls which is quite different from other places. I also recommend the spicy chicken with cheese and the seafood pancake. The kimchi fried rice is decent with the perfectly cooked egg but not the best. I don't recommend the army stew.It's hard to rate the service because it's not consistent. I do really appreciate the hours though, open until 2am everyday. It's popular enough that sometimes I have to wait for a table on a late night weekday.There are only a few spots in front of the store. The other spots are usually for the other stores unless they are closed. However, there is parking around the corner and in the back.“
“First time at this location, second time at a Teleferic Barcelona. First point is that next time (and there will be a next time), I would sit outside. It's VERY loud inside and that was bothersome to several in our party. Outside patio looks like it would be very pleasant. Their cocktails were excellent. I got the Iberico Sour and my friend got Bryan's Legacy. They are not just delicious, but also beautiful. The food was terrific. The star was the paella -- we got the pork one and it was outstanding. We also got chicken empanadas and ham croquettes which were very good and I'd order again. We got the brussel sprouts, and patatas bravas and those were good, but I probably wouldn't order them again. My daughter got churros for dessert -- they were so good she wouldn't share. :)“
“Located within Valencia hotel, it’s a little hidden. It’s on the 3rd floor across the hotel reception, so just take the elevator up. Tastefully decorated with live music playing, this place is a hidden gem. We loved the Sea Bass, the seafood paella and the roasted cauliflower. Must try in the dessert is the “
“We recently visited the Santa Cruz tasting room after an event we attended in the area. Our server was very personable and attentive.The ambience of the tasting room was cozy and artfully decorated. Lastly, the wine flight was incredible. They offer an option of a custom tasting flight which allows flexibility based on your preferences. They also have a small bites menu available which looked tempting but alas we had just eaten.“
