    Thai Tea
    Elizabeth V.

    Came here randomly on a Saturday afternoon and found out that it is a new spot. Used to be Boba galaxy. They have remodeled and it is now a Boba and sandwich shop - interesting choice in a plaza full of Vietnamese food and I like the vibes. Met the owner Jr who is a super nice guy and passionate about his sandwiches. He sources the meat from Zanottos so you know that the deli meat is going to be top-notch. We got the number one per his recommendation and as you can see from the picture, it's chock full of meat and the urban sauce that is special made by Jr is super tasty. Definitely good prices on the menu for this quality of meat. We also got a Thai tea with Boba, which I really liked as it wasn't super sweet like the thau tea at regular Thai restaurants. The Boba inside was nice and chewy. He also is doing a new thing with Italian sodas with some flavoring and gave us one for free, which was so kind. The Italian soda was very tasty as well. I would definitely give this place a stop if you're looking for some good deli sandwiches in the north part of San Jose. The atmosphere is nice and the owner is very welcoming.

    The sandwiches were good but they were a bit pricey for their size. There is not much variety in sandwich choices either and parking was tough. Wouldn't go out of my way to go here but would stop by if I was nearby and hungry.

    The sandwich was great. What you see in their photo is what you get! Not sure if JR is the only one running the place and making sandwiches or if we came in on a day all his employees called out sick. But please hire more helpers! I think we ordered 4 sandwiches that day, and it took JR over 40mins to get them to us. Yes, I would come back, but maybe I'll do a phone order next time

    Urban Classic

    We got the Urban Classic and a passionfruit tea from here and they were both so yummy!! The sandwich was so flavor packed and we loved the amount of meat that was put in. The passionfruit tea was also really tasty and had a great balance. We got helped by Junior who just opened this shop who was very kind and helpful. We would definitely recommend coming to this new shop!

    Great selection of sandwiches, ordering was a breeze. Great place to go for lunch and grab a sandwich to go. Would come back to try different options. Not extremely busy on a Friday which was nice.

    Off the menu BLT with ham.

    I saw the business sign last week as I was driving down Capitol Ave. We live just a couple of blocks away. I checked out their reviews on Yelp and since my husband and I love hearty sandwiches, we decided to give them a try. I arrived at 6 pm, day before a holiday. The shop was nice and clean. There was another couple in there enjoying their sandwiches and they were raving at how good the food was. The owner was friendly, answered my questions, and offered suggestions. I ordered an Urban Classic for the hubby and a BLT with avocado, ham and a spicy honey mustard sauce - an off the menu creation the owner came up with just this week. I got the sauce on the side as I don't like super spicy things. I also ordered a milk tea. He told me it would be a 10-15 min wait, as he makes all of his sandwiches fresh and to order. It was worth the wait. Both my hubby and I loved our sandwiches and they were reasonably priced. Turns out this is a new business that has only been open 3 months. It's hard to win over my supper picky hubby, but Jrs Urban Eats did. I look forward to continuing to support this small business. Come check them out. You will NOT be disappointed.

    The sandwiches are so delicious it's my to go spot when I want a sandwich now. Plus the owner is very friendly and welcoming making feel almost like if you're at your home.

    The Urban Classic
    A N.

    A sandwich is usually considered a quick, boring, last minute resort way to address hunger. Jr's Urban Eats changes that narrative. The picture you see on the menu of an item is exactly what you get, no false advertising here. I had the Urban Classic and was served a heap of meat and a balanced portion of veggies, sauces and the perfect portion and thickness of bread. The best Dutch crunch roll I've ever had. Most Dutch crunch rolls are way too bready, nice if bread is usually the star for you but in this case clearly the supporting cast. It's about the meat and generous portion is what you can expect. Prices are about what you would expect for a sandwich these days, about $15-$20 depending on if you get the combo or not. But so far probably the best American style sandwich in town, I felt satisfied with my purchase and will be coming again. Local businesses are where to go for good eats, owners generally put their heart and soul into what they provide, Jr's is no exception. Sandwiches these days just aren't the same, generous with the bread and skimp on the meats, Jr's is opposite, they understand what the star of a sandwich should be. Highly recommend, put this place on the map. Look at my photo I posted, isn't it mouth watering? Wait til you try a bite, you'll have a hard time putting it down. Keep it Urban.

    I really like this spot! The menu isn't massive, but what they have they do well--I am personally a…read morefan of how focused their menu is. I will say that the drinks are on the pricier side; everything her ranges from 6 to 8 dollars, even for the smaller-sizd drinks. This spot is a bit small, but it is well-lit and comfortable to sit in. It's clean and stylish inside, and orders are primarily taken through a standing tablet. It's relatively easy to find parking, even though the lot is somewhat busy, especially right after work. The drinks come out pretty quickly and taste really good, though even their "less sweet" options tend to err on the side of being too sweet. I am usually a bit suspect of matcha or hojicha served by places that mostly serve other boba drinks, but I have tried both the matcha and hojicha here, and I liked both. They don't serve food or snacks, which I don't mind! I would absolutely recommend this spot to others; it's a nice experience and their drinks (at least the ones I've tried) are solid.

    I usually order ahead through the Squarespace app whenever I come here, which makes the experience…read moreincredibly convenient. My go-to order is the Strawberry Matcha with whole milk, less ice, less sweetness, and honey boba. The matcha has a rich, flavorful taste that pairs perfectly with the strawberry puree. The strawberry flavor is fresh and not overly sweet, creating a well-balanced drink that doesn't overpower the matcha. The honey boba adds just the right amount of sweetness and texture, making it my favorite combination. One of the best things about this shop is how fast the service is. Even when ordering in person, I'm usually able to get my drink and be on my way within minutes. The efficiency makes it an easy stop when I'm craving a quick drink. The interior is also a highlight. There's plenty of seating available for anyone looking to study, work, or simply catch up with friends. The space feels welcoming and cozy, with a cute aesthetic that makes it enjoyable to spend time in. Overall, this is a great boba shop with quality drinks, fast service, and a comfortable atmosphere. If you're a matcha lover, I would definitely recommend trying the Strawberry Matcha.

    My go-to for fresh chewy boba!…read more I really like coming here when I want boba. Xing Fu Tang boba is one of the only places where I will get boba every single time I get a drink there. Since their boba is made fresh and kept in a warm walk, the boba is always soft and warm and doesn't get hard even when it's put in the drinks. Another thing I like is that they do have drink options that don't have caffeine in it. I especially like coming here during the weekday since they're usually not busy so the drinks come out really fast. On busier days, sometimes they do run out of boba, but they do let you know ahead of time or they give you other options. I also like that they have boba with ice cream because some days I don't want a drink. But I do want a sweet treat. We've had so many of their drinks and they've all been really good which is why we come back so often. Here's a list of our favorites: Taiwanese boba milk tea Thai boba milk tea Signature brown sugar boba milk Chocolate brown sugar boba milk It's also fun to hang around during the busy hours since that's when you can watching how they make their boba! Overall, we really like coming here and we are always down for some Xing Fu Tang boba!
