I typically will get the beef udon dish here, but today I felt like trying Garlic Beef Rice. The dish itself was excellent, but I felt that there was a bit too much garlic for my personal liking, and the rice was on the drier side. The appetizers are generous and perfect for sharing in groups. We ended up with leftovers even though there were four of us eating! Service is attentive and friendly. Overall I would come back!

My friends gave me warning for being over charged before going to the store so I was paying…read moreattention when the employee was scanning the items and he noticed it. I paid $100 in cash and I received $5.63 back. I checked the receipt as I was walking out. The receipt showed change back of $7.63. I was shorted $2. I went right back inside and presented my receipt and the change back. The employee apologized and gave me back $2. I should mention that they were not super busy at all. 2 star is for not trusting the check out process. I will go back there again for shopping with full attention to scanning and checking the receipt. The management needs to work on gaining the public trust back. I reversed the review to 5stars for timely response from the business.

I knew that. And it's my job to tell her. Just plain presumptuous. Management seems to spend too much time apologizing to bad Yelp reviews instead of training their staff. I would be happier if they didn't apologize for this review and spend the time on their staff. They can start by reading the Yelp reviews and eliminating the offensive behaviors. There is plenty of material.

I have never once been disappointed with a dish, and I love trying new dishes on their menu. The staff is awesome, and the place has a cool astehtic vibe.

I had hibiscus herbal tea and and an adorable mini waffle cone, filled with crème fraîche, and topped with caviar (honestly never thought I'd like caviar before trying out this place for the first time).

Unfortunately, each dish had something that took away for us and we ended up not being able to enjoy the dinner.

I ordered the beef steak with rice and my bf order the chicken suqaar with rice. The food took a…read morewhile to come out but when it did arrive, I immediately noticed the generous portions. Both meats were juicy, flavorful, and tender but if I had to pick one it would hands down by the beef steak. One thing to note about the dining experience is that it was uncomfortably hot inside the restaurant. I went on a summer day when it was in the high 80s and the restaurant didn't have AC or a fan... it was a lot warmer inside the restaurant than it was outside. I felt so relieved when I stepped outside.

My first time trying Somali food and definitely won't be the last! I read some reviews prior to…read morecoming so I knew we weren't going to have water, but man that tea or Shaah was tasty! It did have a lot of sugar, but it was pretty similar flavor-wise to Indian chai (sans milk), so it paired very well with our order. We ordered the chicken suqaar and the beef wrap. We opted for the chapati (sabaayad in Somali) with the chicken suqaar, but would love to try their rice or their version of injera during our next visit! The menu at first glance looks kinda confusing since they have Lunch in big letters on one side with a ton of their dishes and Dinner on the other side with the remainder of the dishes, making it seem like a few items are available during this time... but the Lunch portion just states that it comes with a side of rice, pasta, chapati, or injera (which is the same as Dinner...) so kind of an interesting stylistic choice there, but this is to say that everything on the menu is available the whole time they're open. The meals were so flavorful- the chicken suqaar had a ton of onions, carrots, chicken, green-bean like veggie, and spices, and was served with a green sauce that had kind of a habanero or jalapeno taste to it. The beef wrap was huge and I only ate half of one for dinner- it was flavored so well and the beef was cooked perfectly. This came with a side of the green sauce and a white sauce. I'd love to return and try their injera with chicken, kay kay chicken, beef suqaar or beef steak, and their sambusas! I saw some on another diner's plate and it looked sizable and filling. Jubba is located right next to a VTA light rail and an apartment complex so there's decent foot traffic, but overall, a wonderful place to try and eat!

It seems hard to find venders these days that are so caring and invested in the process. And the cherry on top is that they are an amazing family and seem like great people.

She's so kind and loving and has gone above and beyond to help us create the wedding of our dreams. She has sat with me and went through so many flower options and amazing designs and is so excited to help. Honestly we are beyond grateful for them. We looove food and were a little unsure if anyone was going to live up to our standards but they have completely and utterly surpassed them. If you're unsure of a caterer this is your team, they won't let you down. Thank you Karen & Ivan.

The food was good overall, but I left feeling disappointed. I ordered the Pesto Basilico, and while…read moreit was served al dente, it tasted slightly undercooked to me. The portions were also quite small for the price. The highlight of the meal was definitely the dessert, it was delicious! Unfortunately, the serving was so small that we ended up ordering another one. The service was okay, but it felt slow at times. For example, our waiter took our drink order but didn't return for about 20 minutes to take our food order, which made the experience feel drawn out. The biggest reason I'm giving this review a lower rating is that there was a dog seated next to us. The restaurant had signs stating that dogs were not allowed, but the policy didn't appear to be enforced. Personally, I don't expect to be seated next to a dog when paying for an expensive meal, and it took away from the overall dining experience.

My toddler immediately requested for a macaron in which I obliged if she could promise to be patient as I did some browsing and shopping. Pick your battles folks, pick your battles. Lmao! This establishment specializes in all things sweet and delicious! The assortment of bulk sweets are plentiful and you are able to purchase as little or as much as you wish. Customize your treats how you see fit- whether your love involves chocolates, gummies, sour, sweet, jelly-filled, or even spicy- this is the spot for you. I appreciate Lolli and Pop having items you normally couldn't find at any random store. My word of advice: take your time to browse the countless items and don't be shy about asking for a sample. 5 solid stars for the young lady whom I recall was a supervisor or assistant mgr running the shift during my evening visit on 2/8. Thank you for answering my questions, being patient, and being such a positive vibe as a whole. 4 stars overall because there were a few questionable bins containing candies that should immediate go into the trash. These candies were clearly crusty, discolored, and abnormally hard. Other than that, my kid greatly enjoyed her macaron and the special recipient was WOW'D by her gift. Mission accomplished!
