The appetizers were fresh and hit the spot. The peanut sauce with the spring roles was not your standard very sweet sauce but had a little tanginess to it. The sauce with egg rolls was good too. The Pho is probably the best I had, the broth was tasty, and you did not need to add anything to and everything was fresh. Service was excellent and the place was comfortable.”

“Only complaint is a 4% charge to pay with a card. Prices are a little expensive but what isn't these days. My burrito was very big which helped absorb the pain of the cost. Unfortunately many places are now charging $12 for a burrito which is way overpriced unless it's a really good size burrito. My burrito was actually decent and pretty good. Place was very clean and the outside bathroom had just been cleaned so it was very nice and looked well kept. Workers seemed nice as well.Parking: Parking is limited to a small parking lot and some street parking but i came at a slower time of night so i had no problem. I could easily see however that during a very busy rush parking could become limited. Handicap takes up some of the parking area.Kid-friendliness: Regular restaurant.

The seafood mariscos was my favorite but both saltados were delicious! The service was quick and attentive! Will absolutely be ordering here again. Vibe wise: The music they were playing sounded like an epic film score from the 70s or something. We tried to Shazam it and it was "not found" so you know it's real!

Catrina, Jose, Jacob and Maui were pleasant on several occasions. I was a server and manager for over 10 years at the most high profile restaurants (Morton’s for one, which is 12 steps of service) so I know exactly what I’m talking about. I’m sorry but the Asian woman at the bar was also great but I didn’t get her name. I told them my conditions (“this is the first time I’ve drank in a year, please make me something nice. It doesn’t have to be heavily alcohol just has to taste good”) They made me exactly what I wanted. It literally made me feel special. Jacob with the great conversations, Maui and Catrina with the prime mixology. Jose was awesome with being attentive. If you read this review, trust it was out of love at 5:14 AM.

It was more than enough food for the two of us, and we had about one serving left to bring home. I think the banchan helps make the meal filling! Service is average, but in a good way. Took a star down because the table next to us got their food first but we ordered before them, and they seemed to order the same thing we did.

What i like J’s as we wait we are able to enjoy a drink of our choice while waiting for a table.The food was delicious, although I noticed that the shrimp bags seemed to have less sauce this time around. It felt like they had reduced the amount of sauce, prompting us to order extra sauce for an additional charge, which wasn't a big issue, but it was a noticeable difference compared to previous visits. Despite this, the overall service was exceptional, as always. The waitress was consistently friendly and attentive throughout our meal.One interesting observation was that they allowed a lady to sell balloons to customers, which provided a unique form of entertainment, especially for children. Overall, I definitely recommend this spot. Arriving earlier to beat the crowd and minimize wait times is advisable, given that they open at 2 PM.”

Sizzling Lunch 1114 Branham Ln, San Jose Japanese • $$

“Don't let the name fool you, Sizzling Lunch is an awesome dining option any time of day. I've been a regular here since I found out about it a few years ago and I won't be stopping any time soon.The food is delivered to the table raw and unmixed on a sizzling hot plate, allowing you to mix everything up and cook it to your desired level before chowing down. The real stars of the show in my opinion are the Garlic Shoyu and Teriyaki sauces that are available on every table. They form a delectable combination, and as soon as my meal arrives at the table I'm pouring a generous portion of each on top of my food so that the flavors can meld together as it cooks.It may be all in my head, but there is something great about digging into a dish of steaming food that was cooked just a few second ago. Forget farm-to-table, it's all about pan-to-mouth for that truly fresh experience.A final word of advice from personal experience, don't wear a white shirt! While they provide a small paper splash guard around the food, there will inevitably be some splatter that escapes the confines of the plate and winds up on everything within a one foot radius so be careful and plan ahead.”

They cook the pizza to perfection, well done and crisp, with a pungent olive oil taste present in the dough; even when reheated the next day! I absolutely love their pesto. The staff is very cordial, and they really sell the 'Sicilian' experience. Attention to details = amazing, they put out mini personal fireplaces by the tables. So cozy. Love it.Vegetarian options: They are able to accommodate for vegetarians. The pesto gnocchi and vegetable pizza are super!Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp and a private party room.”

We had the following dishes...39 com chien ca man / Salted fish fried rice - 8/10 Not amazing but solid74A Ga ram Gung / Ginger Vegan Chicken - 10/10 my fav dish that day. It is identical to how my mom makes it but of course vegan. They use king oyster mushrooms 78 Canh Chua / Vietnamese style sweet n sour soup - delicious and not too sour. again 10/10. Just like my mamas!Eggplant stir fry - not sure the #. 7/10 not a big egg plant fan, but this is a basic veggie stir fry dish Last item is a dish I am having a hard time finding on the menu. My mom had already ordered everything before I arrived so I unfortunately did not get the name but it is a "meat" dish that you eat with white rice. It was serviced with mangos and cucumber. It was identical to the meat version. I was blown away. It was sooo soo good. It sure brought back some memories for my vegetarian aunties. Service was great. I want to come back here soon!”

“I love how you can watch the chefs cook your food in the woks in their "open" kitchen. The only downside is I smelled pretty smoky afterwards. I stopped by in a group of 2 on a Saturday night for a small dinner. It wasn't too crowded inside with many free tables, although there were many people who picked up delivery/takeout orders during my meal. We got the mapo tofu ($13.99), stir-fried string beans with pork ($15.99), and a bowl of rice each ($2/ea). The mapo tofu came on this sizzling plate that kept it hot the whole time! The tender pieces of tofu were swimming in a savory sauce that had a numbing kick. The pieces of pork in this dish were pretty small and added some umami flavor to the dish, but the tofu was the star of the show. I am glad we ordered rice to soak up all the tasty sauce! The stir-fried string beans had a lot of peppery flavor and were nicely blistered on the surface. Although the string beans were glistening on the surface they did not feel or taste too greasy. The pork in this dish was saltier than in the mapo tofu and at times was a bit too salty for me. I wouldn't have minded the dish without the pork and might even try ordering it without pork next time. The servers are kind and attentive. The seating area is not the fanciest but this is a great spot for a casual and tasty meal!”

This place is usally open till 3pm and is closed for the rest of the day.You may find a parking spot for your car inside the community garage (the entrance is located at the back of the buidling, opposite safeway where two hours parking is free). If you dont find a place to park, you can always park at the safeway store across the street near mcdonalds/safeway (not recommended).A superb joint to spend time with your loved ones. Plan to be there early since there is a huge waiting time. Enjoy your bottomless coffee !! Good customer service, superb menu and mimosaaaaaas !!Parking: Parking can be tight sometimes - I was a resident in the same property as Brekfast at Midtown. I would suggest finding a parking in the parking garage in the Meridian at Midtown property. The lower level is open for retail parking.The best bet would be parking across the street in Safeway which is like 0.1 mile awwy from Breakfast at Midtown.”

They have lots of TVs, if you want to watch sports. But it's very popular so can be crowded. We've found that their online ordering system is very good (if you do not try to do it on a popular pizza day, like the Superbowl). They have usually had the pizza ready right out of the oven at the time they list on the order.One area of improvement I'd like to see is to have them incorporate more local/California craft beers on tap. They have a fair selection of big names, but microbrewery beers would be great, too.”

We got medium spice cause I chickened out of trying the spicy level but I think next time I'll get the spicy level. The only thing I can say negatively is that they may want to cook the shrimp a bit less so that the shells don't stick when peeling. But over all, so so good!”
