    Steamed vegetable momos
    Tannu S.

    We went there for dinner and even for a late seating, there was still a wait--which really speaks to how good the food is. It's a small, cozy spot with casual seating, quick service, and a unique menu featuring Indian-inspired Nepali cuisine. Every dish we tried was flavorful and satisfying, but I especially loved their house special paneer and malai kofta. I've been craving them ever since. The quality is consistently excellent, and the experience feels special despite the simplicity of the place. I would highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for delicious and comforting food.

    This has been our go-to place to eat. Everything is so good. Ambience is nice. Service is great as well. Highly recommend trying their chicken 65, chowmein and fried chicken momo.

    Veg chowmein
    Rucha S.

    Ordered the veg momo platter and veg chowmein for pickup. The staff was busy handling multiple pickup orders and chatting among themselves, didn't pay immediate attention, and didn't come across as particularly friendly. There were several pickup orders ahead of us. We noticed our order and asked if it was ready; they said it would take another 15 minutes. When we came back, they handed us the same order we had already seen earlier. Veg chowmein: Nice smoky flavor and decent overall. Portion size was decent for the price. However, it felt oily and not particularly high quality. Veg momo platter: The momos were generously filled and had decent flavor, but the outer coating was too thick. The "tandoori" momo wasn't actually tandoori--just red-colored. The deep-fried momo was chewy. Overall, for the price, the food didn't feel justified and wasn't great in terms of quality.

    Gulab Jamun

    One of my favorite meals in a while. I loved the momos - the sauce was amazing, and they were cooked perfectly. Very solid lassi as well. Definitely a fan of the lamb dish, but the star of the meal was the gulab jamun; this was the best version of the dish I've had in recent memory, really amazing. Will for sure return!

    Stopped by this place for lunch yesterday and just ordered momos. One was the chili and the other was treasure or something I forgot but Omgggggg it was sooo good!! I didn't know what to expect but it was bursting with flavors. I only ordered two things to try but I'm so excited to come back to try more items!!

    I LOVED this place!! Ordered a variety of dishes, but the best was the tandoori chicken. Great mango lassi and naan. The staff were very welcoming and friendly, and they played great music lol. Definitely coming back here, an A-tier restaurant for sure.

    Great place to get Nepalese food. The menu is huge, so I definitely haven't tried everything on it, but there's a few staples I like coming back to. I like the 12pc momos where you can try a couple different types/flavors (steamed, deep fried, pan fried, tandoori) -- you can get them separately, too. I don't love the noodles they come with; they taste really plasticky. The garlic naan here is great and packaged really nicely in foil, and a few other dishes like the aloo gobi mattar and everest gobi coconut are pretty decent too. The parking is alright, and service is plenty nice too. Overall a decent place with a pretty wide-ranging menu!

    The food tastes good but it leaves you hungry. The portions are not as generous as the other reviews indicate. I don't know what they were comparing to. Took a picture of the butter chicken and spoon for size/portion comparison. The tandoori chicken half is only two pieces compared to full (4 pieces). I'm guessing a lot of reviews were rewritten with ChatGPT to make it extra or grand. There are many Indians coming to the restaurant so the food must be authentic but too pricey for the portions for me. The service is good otherwise and restroom is clean.

    Super flavorful. However, I think the spice might not accommodate certain people's tastebuds. Chicken steam momo had thick chewy dough, but overall was seasoned well. Had a good sample of each food and got full after a couple bites.

    Order: 2 Garlic Cheese Naan Breads 1 Mango Lassi Spicy California Chicken Chow Mein Full Tandoori Chicken Lamb Curry Momo Platter The food was absolutely delicious! Everything arrived fresh and hot, with the spice levels spot on. The garlic cheese naan was tasty, though a little too cheesy for my personal preference a lighter touch of cheese would be perfect next time. The momo platter was a standout--each dumpling was stuffed with a variety of sauces and paired wonderfully with the different dipping sauces. We also received a complimentary shot of chai tea, which was a lovely touch. While the dishes didn't all come out at once, every item was worth the wait. Simply, the food was amazing across the board. The service was decent overall, but there's room for improvement. My party of three wasn't offered menus while we waited to place our order, even though other waiting guests were. Not sure why the inconsistency occurred, but it stood out. The restaurant is small and was pretty packed, so perhaps that contributed to the oversight. We waited about 7 minutes to be seated. Once we were, the service went smoothly. The restaurant is a hidden gem tucked away near office buildings in the San Jose area definitely an unexpected but delightful find. I also loved the photos of the food displayed around the restaurant; they add a nice visual touch and build up excitement for the meal. A flavorful, satisfying experience with a few minor service hiccups. I'd absolutely return and next time, maybe a little less cheese on the naan!

    Lots of free parking right outside this corner restaurant makes it east for a quick pick up and go. Best part - it's open till 1 am!! So for all the midnight snackers and people like me who cant eat dinner at 7 pm, this is good to know!! The servers are less and you need to get their attention to order and pay. The food came quickly and all are demands of extra sauce, extra onion/ green chilli etc were promptly dealt with and free of charge. This made them earn a good tip :) win win! In $40 (before tip), we got: - free papad with chutney 5/5 - veg chili momos 5 pc - 5/5 - stir fried momos with onion, bell peppers and chilli sauce. Served with yummy orange sauce - chicken chili momos 5 pc - 5/5 - similar to above but i liked the chicken ones more - malai kofta - 5/5 - creamy and smooth. Delectable and tender. It consisted of 4 pcs (balls) and lots of gravy - garlic naan - 5/5 - too good and so soft. 4 big pieces made it shareable Loved everything and definitely coming back to try steamed chicken momos and chowmein next time :) Highly recommended for the taste and value for money.

    Tandoori Chicken-Half
    Rimi S.

    Food wise the taste is delicious. Definitely a good place to check out. I did feel disappointed in the advertised "1/2 tandoori" chicken. They literally give a chicken leg quarter and call it 'half chicken' that's cut in two pieces. It's false advertising imo. Ordering via the website didn't work well for me. It said the food will take 20mins. I went to pick up after 30mins and they still hadn't processed the order yet. Overall it close to 45-50mins to get food. Since they have multiple branches, I would've expected them to figure out efficient ordering .

    Super tasty food We were here on the weekend and it was pretty busy. We had to wait for about 20 mins to get the table, however the food here is worth the wait. Because of the crowd, service was a bit slow. I honestly detest those green colored veg Momos, that a lot of restaurants in the bay area serve. Momos here were such a welcome change. We had their Titanic Momo plate and it was tasty. Our friends had fish and chicken coconut curry that was good too. Tandoori Roti was nice. The star of the evening was Veg Chowmein though... Loved it! This little place has a great potential for sure.

That said, I would recommend avoiding peak/busy times. One of the dishes, soufflé, we ordered was essentially like a flat pancake during the rush, which was disappointing compared with the quality we expected. Although it indicated on the menu it will take around 30 minutes to make, yet that dish was the first one came after we ordered, less than 10 minutes later! More importantly, we made a reservation through Yelp for Labor Day weekend. However, when we arrived, we were told that the restaurant does not accept reservations during holidays. If that is the restaurant's policy, it should be clearly stated on Yelp and the reservation system should be restricted for those dates. It was frustrating to find this out only after arriving, especially when we already had guests with us. We were then given a shortened dining time, which made the experience even more stressful.

It is next to the Hui Lau Shan, which is great when we want dessert after This restaurant is very unique, as most of the dishes main component is mushrooms, which provide a different umami taste than regular dishes. We have tried the crispy silkworms, tom yum fried chicken, beef noodle soup, mushroom hot pot, chicken liver pate and yao tiao, laksa fried rice, stir fry cheung fun, wild mushroom conserva. Out of everything, I definitely recommend the tom yum fried chicken, mushroom hot pot and the laksa fried rice! Although the fried chicken doesn't have tom yum flavor, they fry the chicken very well, and the tom yum dipping sauce is on pointtt. The mushroom hot pot is definitely a favorite of mine. They give a lot of food -- it is warm, comforting. The broth also has a lot of flavor as well. The fried rice is definitely a top fave. They do a wonderful job incorporating the wok hei, which not a lot of restaurants can do. It is very present throughout the rice, and elevates the rice past the laksa flavor. The pineapple was a great touch and give it a hint of sweetness. I would pass on the wild mushroom conservative. It feels like they just stirfry it in butter, and that was it. I like the silkworm, but I know it's not for everyone. It is crunchy and it tastes kind of like peanut butter LOL. it is a great appetizer. I'm glad this place offers it. I think I've gotten a couple drinks -- alcoholic, and non-alcoholic. Also one of their ice creams. They didn't really leave a standout impression on me but still good to try!

    Final Thoughts: 4.33/5…read more They were our caterer for a work party. This is a food truck and they seem to have everything ready to be served to us. Asian fusion foods are typically my go-to choice and so I was very excited that they were providing us food today. Food: Garlic Fried Chicken Bowl: 4.3/5 The sauce on this is divine with the chicken. It's like an unagi sauce with garlic in it. It has some saltiness, sweetness, and that umami flavor. Garlic taste and scent is present, but not too overpowering, which I really enjoyed. That flavor is great, but some places really overdo it for me. Just a personal preference though. For the chicken itself, it's very tender and juicy on the inside and still has some of that nice crunch on the outside. Perhaps this is because the cut of meat is the chicken thigh. It's not super crispy because I don't believe this is being fried to order for us. Seems to be food held in a warmer until its ordered. Kimchi was the side that they had provided with this dish and I am here for that. Some people aren't the biggest fan of this and I saw that from the looks my coworkers gave it. Personally, very much enjoyed it though. That sourness and spice from the kimchi just balances out this bowl really well. The veggies are nice and crispy. Gives it that freshness. Also, very slight detail and addition, but I always enjoy the sesame seeds and furikake sprinkle as a garnish. There's a nice nuttiness to it that they provide as a simple garnish. Spicy Tuna Poké: 4.0/5 This item was alright. The flavor was also really good, but I did get tired of eating just one type of poke protein. Typically when I go to get poke, it's 2 to 3 scoops of different proteins with various sauces to change up the flavor. I did get tired of this one after a few bites. The flavor of this item was very good though. There's a nice kick from it and the flavor tastes like a mix of kewpie mayo, soy sauce, sriracha, and sugar. Very simple, but you can't go wrong with those flavors. For the side, they added seaweed salad. Again, not your average side dish. Personally, I enjoyed it, but it might not be a common or familiar side dish for other individuals. It has a nice sweetness and nuttiness to it. For texture, there's a nice bite to it, which is ncie since the tuna is very soft and doesn't contribute much to the texture component. Menu: Small Their menu seems quite limited, but again, that is normal for a food truck, I believe. The items they provide do it just fine for me. I appreciate that they also have an option for the vegetarians. The menu we were provided was limited to 4 items, which is fine since the scale of this party wasn't anything too wild and we were able to satisfy everyone with what they provided. --------- Quality: Alright The quality of the food seems OK. It came out within a few minutes for us and I don't think it takes just a few minutes to fry that piece of chicken. I could be wrong though, so no one quote me on that. Just an observation. Not the highest expectations because their limited to the space and area in general. The product they provide is very good though. Overall, for something that has raw seafood in it, it seemed quite fresh and tasty. The items aren't made to order either and it's more assemble and serve to order, but again, they seem to be making it work with the product that they are selling. Price: Estimated Because this was a catering event, I am actually unaware of how much my administrator paid for the food. What I know is that she paid for a certain amount of bowls. From the looks of this item though, I want to estimate the price of each bowl being around $16 to $20 depending on the food item provided. Seems quite average for a bowl of food these days. Service: Quick and fast Because most of the food is already prepared and ready, the interaction with them itself is very limited. They took our order and provided us with the food. Nothing too significant to note and that is to be expected with the food truck. They were very sweet though and explained the menu items to be when I had a question. Ambiance: Simple and cute food truck The design on their food truck is so cute. The riceball is my favorite because it has this very cute face and just looks darling to me. The outside has a simple design with the name and logo on top and then perhaps some of the food items they provide written on the bottom section of the truck. Doesn't seem like anything too fancy, but simplicity is best for me. Location/Parking: Wherever they travel and navigate to Because they're a food truck, they can drive to you, which is really convenient. On Yelp, it states that their located on 36 Commercial Street in downtown, which might be where their truck is serving most of the time. Again, it is a food truck though, so they have the ability to drive to you and travel around to their customers, which is quite convenient is reaching a broader group of people.

    Great food! I think this is the first of few food trucks where I said "the food is delicious and…read moregreat price!" I have Fire and Rice on my to try list for awhile so very happy we got to try it. The food was really good. I got the poke nachos and it's made with the wonton chips.

    Oh my! Just say that they're temporarily closed until the end of May 2026, so we lucked out having…read morethe chance to eat here last Friday 05-01-2026 for the first time. First off, great service! Upon arriving the hostess greeted us and asked if we had a reservation. When we told her yes and gave our first name, she immediately said our last name without looking down and seated us. Within moments our server, wish I remembered his name because he was awesome!, also greeted us and introduced himself. He didn't rush us or anything but politely asked if we wanted something to drink other than water. Then he took our order and everything came out in good time. The food was yum with great flavor and the space had a lively scene without it being crowded. So fun to see the double bar that has an opening to the dining room.

    CHECK YOUR BILL!!. I recently dined at Elyse in San Jose and wanted to share a mixed experience…read more First, the positives -- the food was genuinely very good. The dishes were well-prepared, flavorful, and thoughtfully presented. The overall ambiance was also enjoyable, making it a nice spot for a dinner out. Unfortunately, the experience took a concerning turn at the end of the meal. Our bill came out to $86.42, and I handed my credit card to the waiter. Within seconds (thanks to my card alerts), I received a notification that $103.92 had been charged. When the waiter returned with the receipt, there was no mention of any discrepancy. After waiting a few minutes to see if it would be addressed, I brought it up myself. The waiter appeared flustered and then claimed he had accidentally charged me for someone else's food. That explanation didn't align with the itemized bill I was given, which made the situation feel questionable. He assured me that it would be corrected and that I should see the adjustment in a few days, which I'll be watching closely. Mistakes can happen, but the lack of transparency and the fact that it wasn't proactively disclosed is what left a bad impression. Being overcharged without explanation -- and having to catch it myself -- is not something I expect when dining out. I'd consider coming back for the food, but I'd definitely be more cautious when it comes to the bill.

    Tried this lovely Japanese-Italian fusion spot in the Bay Area for the first time. We tried their…read moremochi pizza-Mentaiko Mayo Mochi Cheese Pizza. I love mochi, so I was really curious how it would work on a pizza. It actually worked surprisingly well. The chewy mochi added a unique layer of texture to the crispy crust and paired nicely with the other toppings. We also had a variety of pastas, both seafood and meat. The portions-especially the seafood and pork cutlet-were generous, and I really enjoyed the subtle sweetness in the meat sauce. The blueberry yogurt drink was beautifully presented. The little heart-shaped container held syrup that you can pour over the ice to turn it into flavored shaved ice, which was a fun touch. The matcha parfait was also tasty and a great way to end the meal.

    Great good and great service. The server offered the children jelly while waiting for the food, I…read morepersonally think that is such a kind act that excited the kids and looking forward for the meals. The servers are very attentive and the wait time for the food is barely 10 minutes. Very efficient. The meals are great, the baguettes came with refilled. The whipped butter is light and creamy. I kept wonder if a drizzle of honey could amplified the taste. Pizza and pasta are obviously very taste and chewy. The restaurant is very nice and cozy as well, a mixtures of Japanese and Italian cuisines. It's a cutesy and vibrant, perfect for date. Overall, I think it's a wonderful experience and meals. Very unique concept!

    I was downtown and wanted to grab a casual dinner somewhere that I hadn't been before and luckily…read moreYelp showed me Nomikai and their five spice duck pizza. I was sold as soon as I saw it. They had happy hour going on until 9pm(!!!) crazy, I know. The happy hour menu featured a few cocktails, beer, and mocktails for $9, and starters for 20% off. They were also able to substitute the liquors in the happy hour drinks for something else, which was huge for me since I'm not a fan of too many liquors. We of course got the duck pizza, which was super flavorful, and also got an order of the spam musubi. Both were really good and I'd order either again. We were helped by Ashley, who was so great and friendly. She seemed to be the host and server and did a great job balancing everyone and thing.

Originally we had opted to go to a vegetarian restaurant but they stopped selling food at a certain time and we were hungry. We kept walking and stumbled upon Nomikai. We entered around 9pm and was seated immediately. The food closed soon and we got our order in during happy hour. We were impressed. The service was absolutely amazing and staff / patrons enjoyed our fit. The cocktails are beautifully crafted. Delicious yummy! As a cocktail enthusiast I had no complaints just keep them coming! The dude enjoyed his cocktail as well. We didn't drive so we overindulge because we can! At a certain point this establishment turns into a club more than restaurant and the line was out the door by 11pm. We did try the Brussel sprouts which was delicious and wished we would have tried more food but we were stuffed. They had great music, loved the decor and glad we stumbled upon this place! Can't wait to come back!
