They stock a variety of fresh herbs, artisanal spices & butters. Alfonso provides great service. I've been relying on him to cut my steaks to the perfect thickness for years. read more

Custom Cut Butcher - Chinese Five Spice that contains Szechuan Pepper. - Butcher Near Me - San Jose, California

If you're looking for a shop with a variety of high quality meat at a reasonable price, look no further! The shop isn't very big but feels super clean inside and it doesn't have a meat smell. There's two huge meat fridges showing you what they have, plus couple fridges and shelves filled with stuff that you might need to cook with your food like spices, aromatics, seasonings. The staff here are really nice and helpful too. They even give you complimentary containers of their salt rub. My partner and I specifically come here specifically for their Picanha steaks which are extremely high quality and affordable. They're great to cook using the reverse sear method or grill like they do at Brazilian steak houses. They taste fantastic with chimichurri or even just with flaky salt because of how buttery the steaks are on their own. The last time we were here, we got 10 steaks for around $150 and we seriously thought we'd be spending way more. Of course the cost will depend on what you, like the prime rib here is very expensive, but weigh out your options! I do think everything else here seems to be a great price for the quality compared to mass grocers. I'd highly recommend anyone to check out this shop! read more

I've been to dozens of butcher shops across the Bay Area and beyond in Northern California, and nothing comes close to Custom Cut Butcher. The quality of their meats is simply outstanding--fresh, perfectly marbled, antibiotic-free, and often organic or natural options that taste like they came straight from the best farms. Whether it's premium steaks, custom-cut roasts, Halal beef, or specialty items, everything is top-tier and consistently exceptional. What truly sets this place apart is Alfonso, the best butcher I've ever encountered anywhere in the region. He's incredibly knowledgeable, takes the time to understand exactly what you need, and cuts everything precisely to your specifications. On top of that, he's super friendly, welcoming, and genuinely cares about making sure you're happy--he'll go out of his way to take care of all your requests, big or small. You can tell he loves what he does, and it shows in every interaction. If you're looking for a top-quality butcher shop with unbeatable meat and outstanding service, this is absolutely the place to go. I won't shop anywhere else now. Highly recommend--5 stars aren't enough! read more

Custom Cut Butcher - Dry aged New York Strip - Butcher Near Me - San Jose, California

So happy this is my local butcher shop! I always come here for my special occasion prime rib! Dry brined for 3 days and roasted low and slow -- dare I say it turns out even better than House of Prime Rib. I also love their whole chicken, cut up by Alfonso, the main butcher guy. My husband and I are snobs about chicken -- we like them small, skin -on, and flavorful without being too chicken-y. This fits the bill for us. We literally use up every single part of the chicken. The bones make an incredible chicken stock! Kamal, the owner, and Alfonso both provide incredible customer service. They want you to be happy with your purchase, and are always looking to help you out! The shop interior is also very clean and organized - a must for a butcher shop! read more

I was nervous about buying meat from a butcher shop for the first time, but the experience here immediately put me at ease. Both the gentleman I spoke to on the phone and the one behind the counter were incredibly kind, patient, and happy to answer all of my questions without making me feel rushed or clueless. I ordered a prime rib and a halal, grass fed ribeye, and both were top quality, beautifully cut, fresh, and clearly handled with care. You can tell they take real pride in their products and their service. The shop itself was very clean and well organized, with a vast selection of sauces and spices, a frozen seafood section, and even fresh dog food available. If you're looking for high quality halal meat and genuinely helpful staff, this place is the real deal. I'll absolutely be coming back!! read more

Small but clean and aesthetically pleasing. Not the cheapest place to get meat, but you get what you pay for. This is one of the best places to pick up steak. NY, ribeye, sirloin...you name it, they have it! They even carry dry aged steak. Plus they cut the steak to your desired thickness. Their ribeye was one of the best quality I've had. This shop also sells pre-marinated meats. Their chicken was delicious. Want to make your family feel special? Purchase some steaks here and show off your culinary skills at home. They will taste the difference between steak on clearance at the grocery store versus high quality steak from a butcher shop. read more

Amazing place.. our go to for all our meat needs for the past two years.. they provide the highest quality, consistently and reliably. We buy their cajun chicken burger patty every single week for protein. The staff is kind, super helpful and goes above and beyond. Kamal, the owner is one of the kindest and most genuine people you'll meet. He actually cares about his customers and making sure they have the best meat available customized to their needs and takes feedback seriously, immediately implementing changes. We've also regularly gotten chicken thigh, wings, curry cut, their marinated chicken and fish that you can pop into the air fryer directly and their ground meat as well.. all excellent. We will be their customers as long as we are in the area. Thank you kamal and team! Indebted to you.. read more

Well, well, well where do I begin, Custom Cut Butcher is the place to go if you want the finest highest quality stakes in the Bay Area, maybe in all of California to my knowledge! From your regular old flank to real Japanese imported A5 Wagyu, they have it all. And from prime aged to Halal, they have amazing prices and amazing selections of all kinds of food from the sea to the land . I love coming here for their A5 Wagyu steak selection and premium ribeye cuts., These are the best steaks I've ever had and are on par with the quality of meat from the world's number one steakhouse that I've personally been to, Don Julio Parilla in Argentina. Please take the pleasure of looking at the video of the beautiful marbling and perfectionist slice of the meat. read more

I can't say enough good things about this butcher. They carry incredible dry-aged steaks that are cut to order, with organic options that make it easy to choose quality without compromise. The customer service is absolutely stellar--knowledgeable, friendly, and they really care about helping you pick the perfect cut. Since finding this shop, I no longer go to Whole Foods for steak. There is such a huge discrepancy about two of "the same" cuts of steak. The quality here is unmatched, and the prices are even better. If you're serious about steak and want the best in both taste and experience, this is the place to go! read more

Stumbled across this butcher after realizing the meats I had been purchasing weren't high quality. The store was sparkling clean with plenty of parking in an adjacent lot and garage. The three people working behind the counter were endlessly nice and kind in explaining the quality of their meat. Their prices are extremely competitive. They also sell a variety of sauces, marinades, and spices, along with tinned fish. I can't wait to try all the varieties of meats they serve. Customer service alone was five stars. I'll absolutely be back! read more

I was so excited to try this place based on reviews and our families love for steak, but it was a let down. We asked for three 8oz filets and when we opened the package there were so many big lines of fat in and around the filets. Thinking the chain wasn't cut off from the filet, but not sure. Hoping it was an off day as we love small businesses, the folks were very nice and we will try again one day. read more

The steak cuts were great. The staff really make this place amazing. I went Thanksgiving morning, and the two gentlemen working were very helpful, and had so much knowledge on how to help season, and prepare the steak. There aren't a lot of places anymore that have staff that are super personable, and seem like they are care... So, hopefully the owner really appreciates their employees. Because they definitely make this butcher shop a better place to go and shop. The shop Inside was super clean and well maintained. read more

Updated Review: Owner reached out to me and apologized which was very kind of him and his team. Will continue to shop here. I do not think that unexpected one time issue will happen ever again to myself or any one else. Original Review (Summary): Had a negative customer service encounter over a one time unexpected quality issue with part of my order. read more

Small butchery tucked in the Elan Village apt complex. It has pretty decent selection of high quality meats at prices that are reasonable...comparable to most other high end butchery, but not comparable to Costco's prices. Then again, prime ribeye for prime ribeye, I thought the ones here were much better quality than Costco's. Very helpful person at the front, made the entire shopping experience very pleasant. Will definitely return to get different cuts. Good find! read more

I came by earlier this morning because I saw pictures of BBQ thinking they also cook the food for you. Okay sure why not, but when I came it's just a prestigious butcher shop. The gentleman helping me knew all of the jargon and which to recommend. I bought the prime rib & a porterhouse with the intent to sous vide and consume it all as a god fearing American. There was so much product from seasonings to perfectly butchered cuts of chicken to lamb to veal to beef. The shop is small with very few workers but the service is so fast might as well be Amazon prime. The meats all look crazy fresh and the taste proves it. Oh btw just request how you want your cut and if you wanna have the fat trimmed cause they will do it all for you. Money wuff 5/5 no drama read more

Amazing little hidden gem, I've been grilling steaks for a while now and I'm always looking for a butcher shop to get custom cuts and great quality meats. Just recently a friend of mine recommended this place and said I should try it because he knows how much I appreciate a good of meat.

I didn't know they were open on weekends unlike the other places in this shop which are closed Saturday and Sunday. I got the rib eye steak and marbling is just beautiful. Also bought some seasoning packets for the steaks and it was perfect. All the steaks were tender and juicy. Service is great and plenty of parking. The shop is small but they have some pre-made Tikka masala and other foods ready for the grill. Highly recommended for the summer grill. Gaestro Maestro Approved!!!!!!! read more

My interaction with the owner was very pleasant! He was easy to open up to a new exactly what his customers needed and wanted. This place is definitely very clean and aesthetically nice. The prime cut was well marbled and was definitely fresh. I like to cook it in its own tallow and salt a couple hours before I'm gonna use it. The meat is very tender and there was not a lot of sinews on it. My dog loves it. read more

You ever get the feeling that people remember you every time you go in? That's exactly how I feel every time I go to custom cut butcher.

I've been looking for my go-to local butcher for ages and I'm beyond happy to finally find a place. This is by far the highest quality butcher shop in the Silicon Valley! There's a wall of spices from local shops and a great choice of cuts from chicken to goat and lamb, beef and seafood. There are pre-packaged cuts in the freezer, and some same day packaged packs in front of the glass case. Everything can be cut to order, you can make the order there and/or call in advance. I absolutely love that they even have dog food made to order as well as home made bone broth. I appreciate and value shops that waste nothing and re-purpose to bone broth and dog food. The owner is so friendly and knowledgeable and you can tell he is passionate about his business and his craft. He's always looking to improve and asks about what you like/liked and what you would like in the future. He will also point out some ways to cook and suggest seasoning. The meat is fresh and never frozen. They mentioned that the beef is delivered overnight from Harris Ranch 3 times a week that's why there is always a fresh cut on rotation. The place is well ventilated, cool, and clean, and the ambience is comfortable with music while you wait for your carving. You can see everything from where you're standing. Overall, my favorite place to get my weekly and fresh proteins. read more

Update: Served up the ribeyes we picked up for dinner last night and devoured everything btwn our family of 5! Will definitely return for these amazing cuts! Wow, I miss having a local butcher shop to buy quality meats from! This place is sparkling clean! I love how they use all compostable material (except for the plastic wrap they have to use for hygiene). The owner, Kamal is super nice too and took the time to show us around his shop. You can tell this is a major passion for him. We picked up some ribeyes for dinner tonight. Can't wait to throw these in a little sous vide bath when we get home. Super excited to enjoy this tonight! read more
