    My all time fav, Mala (numbing spicy hot) beef tendon. Perfect every time!
    Gina C. M.

    Great food, great prices, great attitude. Beef tendon is so tender and broth always flavorful - you can tell lots of love and heart goes into every component of the food. They don't skimp on ingredients. Each bite and gulp is goodness to be savored! Love that they have specials and a rotating menu. I have ventured and tried several items. Tasty every time! 1 thing that I always come back to faithfully is their Mala (numbing spicy hot) tendon. Better than any restaurant. Every few weeks I MUST have my PM2 fix. Love PM2! Seeing this family just makes me feel warm and happy to be supporting local merchants with a small business. No matter what customization I ask for, I get. Very accommodating! They always get my order perfect, just the way I want. I am very impressed with their consistent quality and service. Unbeatable! You can find them on Facebook where they have weekly offerings for pick up at various convenient locations around the bay. Cash only.

    Okay, I LOVE anything taro. ESPECIALLY taro balls! So when I heard about this food truck that served taro ball desserts, I drove 30 minutes to Milpitas just to try some! I got #2, which had grass jelly, taro balls, and red bean. There was cream that was given on the side, but I personally didn't put it on and thought it was sweet just as it was. At around $5, I thought it was pretty pricey, but the bowl is kind of big, so I guess.. The dessert was pretty yummy. The chewiness of the taro balls were kind of inconsistent in that some would be nice and chewy and some would be harder. Overall, I'd probably go back again because of my love for anything taro, but I wouldn't RAVE about it. They have a schedule of when and where you can find them on their website, so be sure to check it before you go! Currently, they are typically found only in the weekends. :)

    What's up with the jelly today?! It's so watery and goopy. Still has good flavor but it's not jelly anymore just mush.

    If there was a hoarders competition for grass jelly, I think my stomach would win 1st place. Grass jelly, git in mai belly! I absolutely LOVE grass jelly and of course, I'm picky about it. So when I heard of this place, I had high hopes for their grass jelly. Expectations were somewhat met, the grass jelly was pretty good but not particularly the best I've ever had. I have to say that it'll be best you can get in the area. So that's good enough for me. The taro and sweet potato mochi chunks were delicious and flavorful. I could actually taste the flavor of the root veggies. It was chewy but not too much, so my teeth were happy. The soup itself was actually too sweet for me. I think the red beans make it taste even sweeter so that was a bit of a turn off for me. I had to add a few ice chunks to water it down and then it tasted perfect. They give you an extra side of syrup (?) but I didn't need to use it. For $4.5 for a large bowl of grass jelly with red bean, taro and sweet potato chunks, it's a decent deal and I'm ALWAYS craving grass jelly soup desserts so I'm coming back whenever the truck is near work!

    Got the stewed pork lunch box today with free spicy gizzards for being a fan (show "like" on their FB page)

The food comes out fairly quickly. The service is minimal but sufficient. Inside seating was booths and tables. Fairly cozy and tight. One unisex restroom only. NOTE: 45 minute time limit for dine-in. Especially during peak time. The food quality and authenticity was spot on per our friends. A.5 House Special Beef Noodle Soup (4/5). Flavorful, rich, broth with a slight spice. The beef was cooked until very tender. The noodles were soft yet and a nice firm chewiness. It was perfect. Definitely not overcooked where it becomes waterlogged or mushy. E.5 Combo Stewed Pork Rice Plate & Small Wonton Soup (4/5). The plate came with blanched cabbage, broccoli, a tea egg, minced pork over steamed rice. The pork belly was braised and stewed until fork tender but not over done so it still kept it's shape. The minced pickled mustard greens was the highlight. B.6: Taiwanese Sandwich. It had the same type of meat, the stewed pork belly with minced pickled mustard Greens, a little sauce in a steamed white bun. D&M, Thanks again for spending time with us and treating for lunch!

Looking forward to come again soon to try their combo plates with wontons!

They have some dine in tables available at the San Jose downtown food hall.

People following their cooking passions in cloud kitchens can't always control a lot of the experience beyond their kitchens so it's good to remember that sometimes behind each order is an individual hustling to try to keep a dream alive to own their own place someday. Be kind when you can. I'm saying all this because while the ambiance around the San Jose Downtown Food Hall and Bento Pro isn't great, the restaurant's output is relatively good. Instead of picking up food here in person, I'll probably adjust and order delivery in the future. I dropped my coworker off and ran an errand while she went in to order at the kiosks. There is metered parking in front and we saw reviews about free parking close by but didn't search for it. It wasn't the lunch rush so the area was pretty quiet and a lot of eateries were closed. She placed orders for our group at two different eateries in the food hall and the estimated wait times for both were fast and accurate. Back at the office, I got to sample my coworker's braised chicken quarter bento. The chicken was delicious and the bento was stuffed with sides and white rice. One of the sides, a stir fry vermicelli noodle, was really salty to me but my coworker who prefers very heavily seasoned food liked it. My minced pork dry noodles was similarly very salty. It seemed like someone had done a heavy pour of a concentrated sauce but it was a flavorful salty that I could see promise in so I solved the problem by boiling up a pack of plain ramen noodles, mixing it in, and saving half for dinner. The resulting dish was much more pleasant in sodium, still flavorful with all of the toppings and sauce mixed in, and I didn't have to cook for dinner. Noodles weren't soggy by the time we made it to the office and the whole dish was warm and fresh. Some people would probably have given that experience a low score but this is a relatively new eatery. It's quick, generous in portion, has the right flavors and just needs to work out some early unevenness. Everything worked out and I'm looking forward to trying it again via delivery.

    Take it from a Hong Kong kid...these are seriously legit zongzi that taste just like the cantonese…read moreones I grew up with. Definitely above your typical market rates, but I promise these will be true to the OG flavors. It's mostly a food pick-up type of service where you walk up to a shared space and ring a doorbell to have an aunty bring out your stuff. Online ordering was how I did it, but you can also call/text an order over the phone. The ordering process is a bit unusual in that you have to plan these ahead of time (by about 3-days or so depending on time of week) then wait for a confirmation text on the day of. Unfortunately, impromptu cravings must likely be held at bay. Sometimes you can short-notice stuff if they have leftovers, but that's defintely a gamble. With either planning or luck, you'll then walk off with a hefty bag of deliciousness. You can have the option of getting them freshly cooked or frozen (for stocking up). The zongzi are well packaged and tightly wrapped with color-codings to the string to separate the fillings from each other. It's a bit cryptic, but you'll notice those correspond with the pictures on their ordering site. Descriptions of the fillings are true to their amount and pretty well packed with goodness (none of the mostly-rice-zongzi here). After cracking the first one open and taking my first bite, it was like that Ratatouille moment with Anton having flashbacks to his childhood (but like the Chinese version). Filled with delicious aromas and rich succulent glory, with not a dry spot in (culinary) sight. If that hasn't convinced you to at least try these buggers, I'm not sure what will!

They have it at some dim sum bakeries but it's usually just rice with a small piece of pork or sausage and maybe some peanuts. The website says to order 2 days in advance but luckily she made extra! I got 6 orders and shared with my family, they all agreed it is better than anything we've had as a kid and man is it packed from corner to corner with pork belly, salted egg, chestnut, and mushroom! It is pricey, but what isn't nowadays?

The beef was flavorful and well-seasoned, but it wasn't as tender as other shaken beef dishes I've had. The texture was more on the chewy/crunchy side, and there also weren't a ton of pieces of meat. For around $20, I felt like it was a bit on the pricier side for the portion. That being said, the flavor was really good! I also appreciated that they included a little pâté on the side, and the sauce that came with the dish was delicious. I just wish there were a little more meat and that it was more tender. Overall, a tasty dish, but I'm not sure the portion quite matched the price.

The flavors were new to me and I can see how the gooey broth and texture can turn people off. The oyster was good too. I'll happily give it another try, but it wouldn't be my first pick and it would be better shared.
