Michael V.

It's lunch time baby! First time trying it and I was impressed. It's such a "hole in the wall" location, but it's one of those locations where it lives up to the saying, "hole in the wall food places are the best." I mentioned to the person taking my order that it was my first time. He welcomed me in very kindly, explained the menu, and how long I was going to wait even being very busy. You don't get that service just anywhere! I got the bibim wrap and it was HUGE. The taste was spot on. I definitely recommend giving this place a try!

Bulgogi Sandwich...look at that cheese pull!
Nat S.

I have only had the Bulgogi sandwich here, but oh my god! It was so good! I want to go back and try their breakfast burritos. I was driving through a large warehouse area when the sign for their restaurant caught my eye. There are a couple of hidden gems tucked into this area and the Yelp! reviews were great, so I knew I had to check it out. I called in my order while I was out picking up drawings for work. This was around 1:00 pm, so I think I missed the lunch rush. The man on the phone was nice and ordering was easy. I had found pics of the menu on Yelp! and I ordered the Bulgogi sandwich based on the reviews. When I arrived I was able to park right in front of the restaurant. The place was very clean and they were very friendly. My order was ready and it was a quick and easy transaction. I, of course, added extra cheese to my sandwich and they did not disappoint. So many places charge you for extra cheese and when you get it home it's barely even a regular serving of cheese. Not with this place! The bread was soft and fresh. The Bulgogi was tender (no gristle or hard to eat pieces), the salty/sweet flavors were balanced perfectly, and the jalapeños added a nice, spicy kick. They also added fresh lettuce and red onion. When I first sat down to eat my sandwich I thought I would devour the entire thing. My eyes were bigger than my stomach. I ate half and was perfectly full. I ate the other half the next day for dinner (just did a quick reheat in my air fryer) and it somehow tasted even better. I am not usually a fan of sweet dishes, but the Bulgogi was perfect and this is a sandwich I will crave and definitely get again. I love finding places that make food you crave. I think they are hard to come by these days. This is definitely a spot worth checking out!

Bibimbap Burrito
Hannah M.

Popped in here to grab lunch while running an errand out of time. I got the bibimbap burrito and it was really good! They put the perfect amount of the spicy sauce in the burrito to not be overwhelming but included an extra little cup on the side if you want to spice it up! Service was also great. The guy who took my order was ridiculously polite and they had my food out in 5 or so minutes. This place is tucked away in a business park area, but don't sleep on it! I come to the area semi regularly to visit a pottery store around the corner so I'll definitely be back!

Bulgogi sandwhich
Ivan W.

Omg in town for short work trip, this is the best sandwhich ive had in years! I had the bulgogi sandwhich and if you are in the area and dont try this, you do yourself a huge injustice. Wonderful fella behind counter made the perfect sandwhich!

Bibim Wrap
Tom K.

Wow!! Simple, good food!! Had the Bibim Wrap. So much flavor in that wrap!! The service was phenomenal as well. I love small, simple places, so this place foots the bill. It's in a light industrial and office park, so parking was not easy, but a bit of a walk is good! I will be back.

Bulgogi sandwich
Devin W.

So glad I found this place. I ordered the bulgogi sandwich, one of the best sandwiches I've had in a while. The man running the shop was an absolute baller and so kind

Chicken Teriyaki

So so good! Best chicken teriyaki in San Jose. Perfect portions and reasonable pricing. You can tell the ingredients are fresh and good quality. Great customer service as well.

Bulgogi sandwich

This place is so good. If you work in the North San Jose/Santa Clara/Milpitas tech circle, you've gotta stop by on your lunch break. I ordered online for pick up (they close at 1:30, so be sure to go before then) and I just grabbed it off the counter when I got there. Cute little shop located around autobody and small warehouse stores, you might miss it. But you shouldn't. Parking gets a little tough, but I just pulled my car in front real quick and hopped out. Onto the food. I got the bulgogi sandwich because some other Yelper had a very appetizing photo...and I did not regret it. Seriously, it smelled so good that I had to whip the sandwich out at the stoplight on Montague Expressway to catch a glimpse. Perfectly tender, salty, sweet bulgogi with the nice sour and spicy jalapeño- it couldn't be beat. I couldn't even wait to get back to my desk at work to eat it, I finished it in my company parking lot. Everything in San Jose is expensive now and this isn't the exception, but this is definitely going on my lunch time rotation- sorry Mendocino Farms.

Bulgogi Sandwich with no jalapeños

Best time is lunch time. ~ My friend and I shared a Bulgogi sandwich ($15) and it was so filling! The sandwich is simple, good, and HUGE! It was bigger than my hand. The bread is thin & there's a good balance of meat, cheese, and lettuce in the sandwich. The meat is flavorful and not too overly sweet. Tip: If you're unable to eat it right away, highly recommend putting it back in the oven or airfryer! It tastes so much better and gets that crispiness back :)

Bulgogi Sandwich (Onion, Cheese, Lettuce, Jalapeno, $14.99)- 3/5 stars
Amy D.

#51 on Yelp's 2022 Top 100 places to eat in the Bay Area list. Unfortunately, I didn't have the same experience that many other Yelpers have, and could have gone on an off day. It also could have been because I went towards the end of the week, at the end of the lunch rush- It's Lunch Time is only open on the weekdays from 10:30am-2:30pm. I stopped by around 2pm on a Friday, and called in my order ahead of time (they estimated 10 minutes for my order to be ready). It's Lunch Time is a small shop located in a semi-industrial area. Make sure you follow your GPS so you don't miss it! They have a small menu, but they had a lot of chips and drink options to go along with your meal. It wasn't busy when It wasn't busy when I picked up my order, and I tried their Bulgogi Sandwich (Onion, Cheese, Lettuce, Jalapeno, $14.99, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=6suH8C-eIGTp08F7ow9QnA&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg). I liked the flavor of their bulgogi, but it was a little too salty overall and slightly dry. I also didn't like the bread they used (an Italian roll?), since it added to the overall dryness of the sandwich. The ingredients were fresh though, and I would consider coming back if in the area for lunch. Their staff was really friendly, and they had hand sanitizer at the counter. Only indoor seating options were available. Parking was easy to find at the time since there were a few spots available in their shared lot.

Wow, I wish I came here sooner! Always had my eye on this place since they've opened up here in the…read moreplaza. The location of the store seems a little far away because it's in the corner by Safeway's gas station off to the side, so I imagine some people miss it. So keep an eye out for it next time you're in the mood for some hot subs. Chris, the owner, was so kind and explained everything to us. He was patient, informative, and professional. It's nice to see owners work at times and treat their customers so genuinely! So thank you, Chris! The store is honestly decorated so well. There's details everywhere on the wall, and it's all dedicated to San Jose culture and first responders. The ambiance felt local and cool. Now for the food, my husband ordered the Build Your Own Sub with Pastrami and it was delicious! I ordered their new and off the menu French Dip sub with aus ju and IT WAS SO GOOD. Highly recommend to get it now while they have it! Special notes: - All subs are served hot! - They have a hot sauce bar with unique sauces all leveled off from (1-10). 1 = mild and 10 = spiciest! Affordability: both of our subs came out to be around $20 for two large subs. Some people may view the prices as pricey, but if you get a large sub it's definitely worth it. Check out the photos for reference (I don't think the photos do the large size justice though because they are HUGE) and give Firehouse Sub a try for yourself!

Thought I'd give it a try. I like sandos....err subs. I placed an order online and picked it up without any issues, just the way it should be. My order was ready and waiting for me when I got there. The venue at the corner of a newer shopping plaza. There is a decent amount of seating inside and outside as well along with plenty of parking around. #Sandos: ~ Hook & Ladder - 3.5/5 The most basic one...I think. Smoked Turkey breast, Honey Ham, and melted Monterey Jack cheese, served with lettuce, tomato, onion, no mayo for me, and deli mustard with a pickle spear on the side. The sub were just okay for me, nothing amazing. ~ Firehouse Steak & Cheese (Large) - 3/5 Looks much better in the brochure. It's fine, tasted OK. Nothing to brag about, don't let the sando sit around. Make sure you finish it all at once or it will get soggy... may be its because of the oil and vinegar dressing I opted for? Not sure... The wheat bread is a tad too sweet for my liking and the white bread is just plain and flavorless. I do wish they provided options like Sourdough or Dutch Crunch, which also happen to be healthier for you. I wanted to complain that they were expensive but then realized that's how it is everywhere now. That food inflation is no joke... I'd stop by if nothing was around. Not so sure I need to try other items on the menu.

Placed the order online and picked it up from their cute little store on Wyatt Drive. The day was so busy that most of us hardly ate our food until way later in the day, myself included. I actually didn't even get to start eating the salad that I had ordered until five hours after picking up the order and being home for the day. To my surprise, there was an issue with the salad. I called the store and was connected with a very sweet, nice understanding associate named Paola. She apologized and offered to remake anything that was in error from the large order placed and picked up this afternoon stated that it would be ready in the next 5 to 10 minutes. I came to pick it up and was greeted by Sebastian. He was very warm and welcoming and upon me, letting him know that I called and spoke to Paola he was aware of the situation and had my food ready to go. He was also very sweet and understanding and very apologetic. They went over and beyond with making this right by giving me not only a remade salad, but also a free entrée on them for next time to make up for this issue. I tried really hard for Sebastian to not issue this out as I believe he had already made it right, but he insisted that I take the free entrée item for next time as they are sincere apologies. I've always really loved Mendocino's farm and friendly staff and I would like to know that I've never had any other issue with any other orders here. I'm happy to know that when there is an issue, their staff is understanding and accommodating enough to be able to make it right.l for their customers. I really appreciate this and will always be back here!
