I've had Het Say on my radar for a while and I finally got to try it. My friend and I ordered the…read morepork rib rice plate, the Champa chicken curry noodle soup, the pate chaud and also one of the cookies. Everything we tried was absolutely delicious. The owners are very nice and they are quite lovely. The pork ribs were fall off the bone and their fish sauce went perfectly well with the ribs and rice. The chicken curry noodle soup had a really good flavor and it was very comforting and you can definitely taste the love in the soup. The cookie reminds me of like a Vietnamese version of a granola bar and it was simple yet pleasant. I also like the pate chaud but I wished it was a little bit more warmer and crispy but overall I cannot wait to come back and try their other dishes. Lots of seating available around the park near the food truck as well.

Hết Sẩy isn't your typical Vietnamese restaurant. Instead of the usual pho and vermicelli bowls,…read moreyou'll find creative takes on Southern Vietnamese flavors that feel both familiar and completely new. Everything is thoughtfully prepared, from the flaky hand pies to the banh mi and rotating seasonal specials. The ingredients are high quality, the flavors are bold, and you can tell a lot of care goes into every dish. It's a little pricier than your neighborhood Vietnamese spot, but you're paying for craftsmanship rather than quantity. If you're looking to explore a different side of Vietnamese cuisine in San Jose, Hết Sẩy lives up to its name.

Everything was fantastic from start to finish and came out of the kitchen in glorious succession.

Absolute heaven. I cannot wait to come back and do it all again.

Celebrated my 37th birthday with my husband, kids, brother and mom here and it was an experience!…read moreOn the high end pricier side but the experience made it worth it! We had a 730 pm reservation for the village chalet which seated 6 but there were 9 of us with my 5 year old and baby included! Even though seating was for 6 we were comfortable and even in the winter night pretty warm with the fireplace and blankets that were provided! The experience came with a pre fixed menu you can choose your 4 dishes plus a dessert for each person! Since we were 9 the server was very accommodating and asked if we wanted to choose 2 more items! It can come with an additional cost though to add 2 more dishes but it was PLENTY of food! We were stuffed! We chose the wagyu sliders, cheese board, charcuterie board, chicken pasta, margherita pizza, and cheese fondue! The servings were VERY generous so we did not leave hungry and with leftovers as well! At the end of the meal they give each person a ticket to enjoy complimentary hot chocolate which we indulged in around the corner in a cute little cozy decorated area with fire pits, seating areas and even a cute little igloo! If you want to come for a special occasion with your family or a couple of girlfriends its nice to try at least once! They are usually only open starting up around thanksgiving to early Jan!

My friends and I returned here this year since it's a very cute setting and the service is…read morewonderful. I was hoping the food had improved since last year, but unfortunately it was still pretty average. They don't make it clear on the website, but although you pick four dishes for the table to share, they do bring out enough of everything for the table to enjoy (we were worried that since there were 5 of us, we wouldn't have enough food, but they brought plenty and even offered to bring out more of some items). They also were very accommodating for my vegetarian friends- we selected the sliders as one of our dishes, and our waitress mentioned she could bring out both beef and vegetarian-friendly sliders for whoever wanted those at the table, which we really appreciated! What was most disappointing to me was the walk out to the little village area where the hot chocolate is. The seating areas were covered in trash, empty drink cups, used marshmallow roasting sticks. We had to clear away the garbage ourselves to sit down. Although this is a super cute idea, it's been a little disappointing over the last two years (especially the food), so I don't think I'll return next year.

The interior is a small shop, with a welcoming, friendly gal to take your order. Big guy in the rear is the bbq chef. You order there and go outside to pick up your food and/or sit outside to eat. The seating area offers plenty of chairs and tables with shade or without. It was February and a bit chilly and windy. In short time our food was ready. We had the pleasure of smelling it all the way home to Placerville. The ribs were big, meaty, soft and tender. There was a delicious spice and flavor that you really didn't need the bbq sauce (provided) on it at all. My husband and I ate our first couple without the sauce and then he ate a few more with the sauce. These ribs were delicious! We paid $30 for a full rack of ribs and $16 for the Turkey leg. We know where to go when craving ribs. Nicely done here.

I really wanted to support this local business, especially after a great first experience where the…read moreribs were fresh and perfectly seasoned. Unfortunately, my second visit was a major disappointment and a waste of over $150. While the portions are generous, the quality just wasn't there this time. The smoked turkey leg tasted boiled and lacked flavor, the ribs were incredibly dry, and though the brisket was tender, it had no seasoning. I drove 35 minutes on a Friday hoping for another great meal, but the inconsistency was frustrating. I hope they can get back to their original quality.

My wife and I were in the mood for burgers in the area and we wanted to give this place a shot…read more When we got there, the location looked like it was closed but that was because they were at a different location that day. I would recommend looking up their instagram just in case this happens to you. The team was kind and patient as it was my first time there. I ordered the loaded fries with a patty and it was delicious. The burger patty was seasoned and juicy. The fries were crispy similar to In n Out fries. With the sauce they used for the fries, I feel like I got a burger and then some. For the price, that will probably be my go to order since it is more filling than one burger. Overall, good food and I will try again at the original location.

Super solid smash burger! We got a double of the classic burger (I wish I could handle spicy cause…read morethe jalapeño one looked good!) It was tasty and delicious. I wish the bits were crispier and more smashed but it's one of the best you can find on the peninsula. We also got the French fries. Pretty standard frozen fries that were fried well. I would call before you go because they happened to be doing a pop up at fieldworks when we went so we had driven to the wrong spot. Prices also are fair and not expensive! Just expect a long line depending where they are. Try not to look at the dirt and grease caked on their equipment though....

I was shocked to read about the long waitlist years ago and I never bother to put my name on it…read more Not only I have to wait for years but I also have to cook the noodles myself - thanks but no thanks - especially I spent way too much money on kickstarter for a series of failed projects/scams in the past. But my sister had enough faith in him that she put her name down in the waitlist a couple years ago. A few days before Valentine's day in 2026, my sister got the email asking her to confirm her order quantities and to pick up on Valentine's day. Apparently, my sister completely forgot her order. lol! This guy have more integrity than kickstarter projects and to keep his promise and to fulfill the orders!!! It's my first time having sweet water noodles. I have never visited Cheng Du in China (it's on my bucket list) so I cannot tell how authentic this really is. As a noodle dish, I really love it. I would buy the sauce itself and toss with any other noodles. (Business opportunity there!) The instruction to cook the noodles is super clear and it's a very simple and easy dish to make. If you can boil water in a pot, you can make the noodles based on the instruction with this noodles kit. The rice crispy gave an excellent crunch. (Now I can see why Paik Jong Won added the uncooked instant noodles crumbs from the package to a bowl of instant noodles). The noodles texture is lovely, it has a chewy (or the Taiwanese/Chinese known as "QQ") bite to it. The portion is quite generous too - it's one of those satisfying portions :) I don't think I want to wait for 2 years for this again. But when he opens the store or start selling the sauce, I will be there for sure!!

First experience, my friend and I were quickly greeted and seated - no detail was spared with the setting, menu, napkin holders, teacups and teapot cozies. Chef/owner, Christina introduced herself, the food and each item as they were brought to the table. :: Freshly made sourdough with house made loquat jam - wow the bread itself was buttery and really didn't need any accompaniments. Crunchy exterior, soft and pillowy. The spicy jam was so yummy and bought some after the event! :: Charcuterie for 2! It was plenty to be shared by 4 but won't complain. Dates, homemade crackers: sourdough and seeded, prosciutto, salami, marconi almonds, Marin cheeses and housemade bread and butter pickles, pickled garlic and onions. So good! :: Savory sandwiches: Japanese-style egg salad (some soft-boiled egg), Green goddess, and a monte christo with accompanying house-made strawberry jam. Simple but all nicely prepared and delicious! :: Sweets: so many to list (see pics) - all beautifully presented, not overly sweet and plentiful! Yummy This is the first tea party where I didn't leave hungry! And you'll have leftovers as everything was so filling and satisfying. I should've paced myself with the charcuterie! Event duration: 2 - 2.5 hours, 11-130pm Setup: 2 tables of 6 so unless you have 6 people you will be sitting with 4 strangers but will make conversation quick as the commonality is food! If you're an introvert you may want to invite friends/family to fill a table. :) With perfect weather, good food in a beautiful setting you won't be disappointed. Owner/chef, Christina and staff were friendly, helpful and welcoming. I knew I would enjoy this event so much I had already booked the next event: Southern BBQ Luncheon ahead of time.

Had an overall mixed experience. Simple and easy to understand self-order kiosk. Ordered the Takoyaki Special with 5 regular and 5 negi mayo. The negi mayo was definitely the highlight, really flavorful and easily the better of the two. Also had the chicken katsu omelette curry, which was honestly kind of a disappointment. It tasted fine, but it did not live up to the expectations set by the visuals shown by their menu - it looked like what was visually advertised. The omelette was overcooked, and the katsu was overdone and inconsistent, with some pieces coming out pretty tough. Overall, the takoyaki was solid but the curry missed the mark.

Make sure to get some rice on the side for the left over sauce!

They serve mini donuts and drinks from Friday to Sunday. We went on a Saturday around 10:40am and it was quite empty. All the cafe stuff and equipment is in the garage and they had outdoor seating on their driveway. They also have a cute donut wall for taking pictures of your food and drinks. We ordered 6 mini donuts with a vanilla drizzle and fruity pebbles, which ended costing $7.50. The donuts were basically made right in front of us and the service was fast. They served it to our table and gave us two extra mini donuts. The donuts were warm, light, sweet, and also coated in like a cinnamon sugar dust. The owners were really interactive and had great hospitality. They even gave us a sample of their cold Mexican chocolate to try and gave us a water bottle to wash the donuts down . They just opened last July and I think they deserve more customer attraction. My friend and I would definitely go again.

I'm surprised how close Z8 Cafe is to me especially walking distance and I should've visited here sooner but I will be coming here more often. The coffee is made to order right in front of you with their commercial grade coffee/espresso machine. They use high quality syrups and milk options, they put a lot of care in the food and drink they serve. Mini donuts are also made to order in front of you and freshly dusted in cinnamon and sugar (or your flavor of choice). They're hot and melt in your mouth. Their outdoor seating is really nice too, it's cozy and definitely looks great during their evening hours with their lights. Please give Z8 Cafe a try great family and great food and drinks!
