    Birthday ice cream. Complimentary
    Anna L.

    I had a reservations for a Friday lunch at 1 but it wasnt required. The store was completely empty so it was actually kind of nice to have the place to ourselves. The one server was super kind and interacted with my littles. Food portions were larger than expected, and dedinitely could have been a sharable. Food was well seasoned and delicious; nothing seemed bland or lackluster. We were celebrating a birthday and had the plesant surprise that the birthday girl got a little ice cream treat with a candle at the end. I need to be on a low carb diet, but I really want to come back to try all the pastas. I didnt know Japanese Italian fusion was a thing!

    What a great find! La Casa Mia had been on my list of places to try for a while, and it did not disappoint. I made a reservation for a Thursday dinner at 6 PM, and we were greeted and seated right away. The service was warm and attentive from the start. We were pleasantly surprised with a complimentary salad and vegetable soup, both of which were a wonderful way to begin the meal. The mentaiko pasta was the highlight of the evening, rich, creamy, savory, and full of flavor. Since we had noted on our reservation that we were celebrating a birthday, the restaurant also treated us to a complimentary scoop of ice cream with a birthday candle, which was such a thoughtful touch. The host was incredibly kind and made sure we were well taken care of throughout our visit. Between the excellent service, delicious food, and welcoming atmosphere, La Casa Mia made our celebration feel extra special. We will definitely be back for future birthdays and special occasions!

    Nice service, the food was very good. It is a small place and the schedule hours don't help much but if you have time and you are in the area is recommended Also the milk tea is vey small

    I dream about their cod roe pasta, it's literally the best I have ever had. Like next level pasta! We went as a big group for my sister's birthday, and they were pretty accommodating and nice. We had them keep our cake in the back fridge which they charged us for, but it wasn't too much. The pastas are the way to go! The pizzas were alright and the drinks were also okay, but get the pasta!!!

    I always wanted to try this place since I heard of it but never got the chance until recently. Fusion food has never been my favorite cuisine but the combination of Italian/Japanese piqued my interest. [[ Location ]] It's in a familiar plaza in Milpitas most noticeably with the Lion's Grocery Store but it has a ton of other stores in the area too. There is plenty of parking but it can get crowded sometimes when its busy (aka lunch/dinner) but you'll always find parking. You might have to walk a bit further. [[ Restaurant ]] In my opinion, the first thing you will notice is that this place is SMALL. It's really nicely decorated inside but it just feels small overall. It wasn't too busy when we went but I can see it filling up on the weekends. [[ Service ]] I'm not sure if they normally do this but they went around and gave us free salad and a cup of soup to anyone who wanted it in the restaurant. I thought that was a nice surprise and a nice touch that made the dining experience really nice. Also I'm a huge fan of their free birthday treat. Most places just give you a small piece of cake or something but La Casa Mia gives you multiple scoops of ice cream and a nice happy birthday sign at the end of the meal. I thought that was really touching and the whole group was able to enjoy the ice cream without feeling like we had to control how big of a spoon we got. [[ Food ]] I feel like we got to try most of the more interesting food here but the group got the following: 1.) French Fries with Truffle Oil 2.) Carbonara with Udon ($2 add on) 3.) Mentaiko Mayo Mochi Cheese Pizza 4.) Salmon Shimeji Mushroom Risotto with Noodles Overall i think they did a good job with the balance. The Japanese / Italian flavors were equally balanced and nothing felt overpowering which made the dishes very good and easy for hesitant people who haven't had fusion food before. I don't think there is a dish I did not like and I was very happy with the meal. I think the most fun to eat was the Mochi Cheese Pizza because I did not think Mochi would be a good substitute for the carbs of a pizza but it worked just fine and tasted spectacular. The French Fries with Truffle Oil was also really good but I thought the portion sizes were too small.

    It's been on my to-go list for a long time and I finally got a chance to visit. I love the earthy and homey aesthetic; it made me feel at home. It's spacious and has plenty of seating. My group did have to wait awhile for the food to come out but the service was attentive. Payment comes in a little bucket which I thought was cute. I definitely would come back to try their other menu items~! Food: - Mentaiko Cream: saucy, noodles were well-cooked. gave a generous amount of cod roe with the pasta - Carbonara: the bacon definitely completes the meal, toppings were proportioned well with the pasta.

    Wow! It's so great to have this spot in Milpitas. We love Japanese Italian fusion and had been looking for a local spot to get our fix. Very cute decor in the restaurant, almost like a garden or afternoon tea vibe which we really liked. The servers were very nice and were able to point out what items on the menu were vegetarian for my family family. We wound up getting the Pomodoro, the mushroom melody pizza the katsu pasta and the uni, with some bread and fries as appetizers. The bread was very fresh, warm, and fluffy. Very tasty. The fries were interesting, clearly fresh cut single fry fries, so don't expect a super crispy fry, but the potato taste was quite nice. The mushroom pizza was a highlight, we loved the combination of the asian mushrooms, lots of umami with a nice crisp crust, highly recommend this one. My uni pasta was great, perfectly seasoned, salty with a fresh seafood aroma from the uni and the ikura salmon roe, I would get this again in a heartbeat. Desserts were decent, I was hoping to get the Match panacotta but they were out. We got some ice cream and the Casatta instead which was ok, I would probably skip the Casatta in the future and hope to get the panacotta instead. All in all this is a very solid pasta spot with reasonable prices. We will definitely be back!

    Good place for lunch at this Italian / Asian fusion restaurant. The kids meal was a hit with the 4 year old. And the adult items were pretty good too. The clam pasta had a good balance of taste and texture. Curry rice had an overwhelming amount of cheese!

    What a little gem! The service here and the presentation of all the food is very Japanese, which means polite and beautiful. All the food was absolutely delicious and the fact that they were so visually appealing, made it that much more extra. Looking from the outside I would not have thought this place was so good! If you like any pasta this is pretty darn good. I also got to try a bite of my son's seafood pasta which I thought was also really good. I definitely recommend this restaurant, and I look forward to coming back. The only downside is the space is actually quite small. It would not be good for big groups, and you most likely to wait for a table.

    Salad & soup included in the lunch meal

    [Food] - Seafood Pescatore Rosso ($23): Made with shrimp, mussels, scallop, clam, octopus, tomato sauce & parsley. One of my favorite dishes here! - Yuzu Clam Pasta: Made with white wine sauce and comes with yuzu kosho on the side. Loved this dish the most! I hope they keep this on their permanent menu as this was part of the limited time special menu. Unfortunately I forgot price of this but it was around the $20 range. - Lunch Plate Special ($18): Comes with pizza of the day, soup, salad, and your choice of pasta. My bf picked the Mentaiko cream pasta. Definitely a good deal for lunch! - French Fries w/ Truffle Oil Sauce ($9): Fries were nicely fried and seasoned. The sauce was yummy as the truffle wasn't too overwhelming. - Japanese Mushroom Melody Pizza ($29): Made with a white sauce with shimeji, maitake, shiitake mushrooms, & mozzarella. For me the white sauce was a bit too heavy, and having tried the Mentaiko Mayo Mochi Cheese Pizza at their Santa Clara location, I think I enjoyed that much more as it was more balanced. My bf's mom loved this though! - Matcha Tiramisu ($8): I would call this more of a parfait than tiramisu. Wasn't too sweet and nicely balanced with the cream, mochi, and jelly. [Service] - Super polite, friendly, attentive & helpful [Ambiance] - Nicely decorated like a cute Japanese cafe [Overall] - Would definitely come back! Especially for the Mentaiko Mayo Mochi Cheese Pizza, Seafood Pescatore Rosso, the lunch plate special and the Yuzu Clam Pasta!

    I love how the inside of this restaurant looks. Rustic and whimsical. The food was amazing! The server is the cutest and super polite. Amazing service. Come try!!

    Such a cute restaurant with delicious food! They have interesting and unique dishes. We tried several of their pasta and a pizza. Would love to see more pasta options maybe in the future, currently it's fresh spaghetti or udon for a little extra. Price is reasonable and we were served salad and soup as soon as we sat down. Came on a weeknight and was seated immediately. There was only one staff working out front and she was so kind and friendly!

    Truffle fries

    Got to try La Casa Mia again, this time in Milpitas! This location's interior is very cozy. I ordered the Carbonara and Truffle Fries. They oddly came out at the same time, I would have preferred some time apart. But that's okay, still delicious :) The truffle fries are so long and I love the aioli it comes with. Carbonara super creamy and delicious. Poached egg on top and everything was perfect. Pasta was the perfect al dente too.

It is in the general area with Cere Tea and Koi Palace. We arrived around 6PM and were seated immediately. We came for the seafood don and both got the UME with an addition of the ochazuke set. For $26 + 4.5 for the set, I think it's really worth the price and you get a good amount of fresh fish. Each bite felt like I was transported to Japan and eating a Kaisendon.

I feel like I could have had a better experience, since it seems I went on an off day. FOOD: Fish Katsu (3/5) - First off, I felt that the oil used to fry the katsu was old. I had a strange filmy aftertaste with each bite. I kept dipping the katsu in the different sauces to mask the aftertaste but I stopped eating because I couldn't ignore it anymore. The fish used in fish katsu is cod, I felt like the waitress thought I was dumb for asking that question, even though it's not clarified on the menu. Sorry for asking... :/ It's normal for katsu places in Japan to have huge piles of cabbage so I wasn't surprised. The cabbage added a relief from all the fried fish I was eating. Miso soup was standard with nice big chunks of tofu; the rice was fluffy and light. Chicken Curry Katsu (3/5) - Chicken was juicy and plentiful, but honestly the curry had no taste. It added a that gravy like texture but didn't have that deep, rich curry flavor we think of when it comes to Japanese katsu. Usually at these spots you're asked how spicy you want the curry to be but here it's all mild, with no option to add your own spice. VIBE: Interior is simplistic, almost a little cramped. The tray that the food comes out on takes up the whole table space so don't expect to put anything on the table. It's very loud inside. Hard to have conversations. Also strict no outdoor food/drink policy. We were satisfied with the portions and, and didn't leave hungry, but still desired more from Katsu Gin. I'd love to give this place another try if I'm in the area.

However the spicy tsukemen unfortunately did not live up to my expectations I would say the spice level is at a medium, so this is a warning to those who are unable to tolerate spice. The noodles were super slippery so it made it hard to eat with chopsticks, especially having to dip it into the broth, so we ended up asking for forks lol. The broth was also not as thick as I would've liked, so I felt like the noodles weren't really able to pick up the flavor from the broth. The pork belly and meat toppings were delicious though!

My husband and I have experienced both the 13-course Kamikaze omakase at the sushi bar and regular table dining, and every visit has been consistently excellent. If you're looking for an interactive dining experience, I highly recommend sitting at the sushi bar. Watching the chefs prepare each course makes the meal even more enjoyable. One thing we really appreciate is how easy it is to make a reservation. The staff is always welcoming, attentive, and happy to offer recommendations based on your preferences. They genuinely make you feel taken care of from the moment you arrive. The 13-course Kamikaze menu is an incredible value for the quality you're getting. Even better, they rotate the menu every month, which keeps every visit exciting. It's refreshing to return to a restaurant knowing you'll get to try new creations instead of the exact same meal each time. Every piece of fish we've had has been exceptionally fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The restaurant itself is absolutely gorgeous. You can tell they put a lot of thought into the design and atmosphere. The modern aesthetic creates an inviting space that feels upscale while still being comfortable. They also offer a fantastic cocktail menu along with an impressive selection of sake. My husband and I enjoy trying different sakes, and while quality sake isn't inexpensive, the selection here is well worth it. Parking is generally easy, though it can get a little busier since it's located near a popular supermarket. Even so, we've never found it to be much of an issue. Blue Pagoda is truly a hidden gem in North San Jose. Between the consistently fresh sushi, rotating omakase menu, beautiful ambiance, excellent service, and great drink selection, it's a place we always look forward to returning to.

    Easily my favorite brunch spot in the Bay Area, and honestly one of my favorite restaurants period…read more They do modern Japanese so well, and the atmosphere makes it a perfect spot for a date or a special occasion. For brunch, everything we ordered was excellent. The standout was the seared scallops uni, rich, delicate, and easily my favorite dish of the meal. The kathi style steak n egg, sashimi platter, 24 short rib, and Japanese wagyu tataki were all beautifully prepared and full of flavor. On the drinks side, the smoky hibiscus and yakultza were both refreshing and well balanced. They also offer omakase for dinner, and it's genuinely some of the best in the Bay. I don't usually repeat omakase spots, but Soho's was good enough to bring me back a second time! the quality and care behind each course really stands out. Whether you come for brunch or dinner, Soho delivers every time. Highly recommend for a date, a celebration, or just treating yourself.

    First off I'd like to say that my servers were great and the restaurant is nice, though they still…read morehad Christmas decorations up in July . Honestly, I wasn't that impressed with the food. The presentation is beautiful and the dishes looked delicious. But I was not a fan of how some of the dishes tasted. Some of the fish I had honestly tasted fishy/old. I know that sounds crazy to say, because I'm eating raw fish... but I've had tastings which I felt were higher quality and better tasting for a lower price than what SOHO offers. Also, it took quite some time for all of the items to come out, and I think I was there for over 1.5 hours. I wasn't expecting that. And then the chairs were not too comfortable either, since they didn't have full back support. It was a cool experience overall but I personally wouldn't return for the tasting.
