The sides are consistently delicious, the ranch is flavorful and not crazy salty (must've been an off day), and the ratio of rice to the rest of the ingredients is much better. The one slight negative for me is that the seasoning on the chicken tends to be inconsistent - sometimes it has little to none and other times it has a generous amount. Not a huge deal but it tastes noticeably better when well seasoned. Really glad I gave this place another chance, it's been great for when I want a healthy option that's still satisfying.

I went with a 2 protein bowl (spicy teriyaki chicken and steak) - power style which meant over vegetables instead of rice. The food was great but quantity wise, it was way too much for me.

My colleague enjoyed his meal as well - will definitely be back!

Men-Bei is one of those places I drive by all the time, telling myself I'll try it one day. Well, I guess today is that day! Vibe: B Wandered in around opening time. Cozy lil mom and pop shop. I got seated right way. Food: B+ I ended up getting the Men-Bei ramen, assuming it's the house special. The broth itself was hearty; the chashu was tender and well seasoned. The spicy add-on was a nice touch. The noodles had a nice chew, but I think I prefer the thicker variety. I wasn't sure about the ginger though. It did cut through the hearty broth, but I'm just not sure if it's a necessary addition to the ramen. I might have to return try out some other dishes as well. They had a seasonal brothless ramen that sounds interesting. Service: A They were very accommodating, water was kept full through out my stay. -John

Pure soul food for a tough workday. Whenever I have a brutal…read moremorning at work, my brain immediately tells me to go to Men-Bei (I had to ensure my Tuesday morning is free of meeting due to Men-Bei schedule) It's the best comfort food. It's a completely different style than the famous hyped-up ramen chains--it feels more like authentic, satisfying soul food. It gives you the perfect energy boost to get through a long afternoon. I come here all the time, either with a friend or by myself when I just need some solo downtime. You can't go wrong with the negi-moyashi if you want a bowl focused on great noodles and a mountain of delicious wok-fried veggies instead of a heavy piece of pork. Super satisfying and highly recommended!

One of the best mom & pop Chinese restaurants I've been to in the Bay…read more My friend & I came in for lunch and ordered the bbq fried rice, beef & broccoli, Salt & Pepper fish and the honey walnut shrimp. Service was great. They were fast and friendly when taking our order and even offered their own recommendations of dishes to try out, but we ended up picking out the food we were craving in that moment. Bbq pork fried rice, Salt & Pepper fish, Beef & Broccoli & Honey walnut shrimp were all hits. . They have really good portion sizes where it's enough to share with multiple people. The owners were really friendly to us and felt like we were eating at a family friend's house. Our meal was so great I even felt the need to go thank the chef for doing such a great job cooking the food lol. If you're thinking about wanting to try some authentic Chinese food, Lee's kitchen is the place to go to.

I'm always in the mood for Chinese food, so I was happy to find this spot on Yelp. I stopped in…read moresolo for lunch and the place was nearly empty, just one other table taken. Like many American-Chinese restaurants I've visited, there was an older woman at the counter and the decor felt frozen in time. I ordered a lunch special that came with soup. The egg drop corn soup wasn't piping hot but still tasted great. I enjoyed the small bowl, and my main dish arrived soon after: a generous portion of fried rice with string bean chicken, served on a classic Corelle Country Cottage plate. The server, who I assume was the owner, said "Doesn't it look delicious?" as she set it down. It did, almost. The string beans were overcooked and limp instead of crisp, and parts of the rice were a bit dry. Apart from those two issues, the seasoning was spot-on, the portions were generous, and it was pretty satisfying overall.

All the sides are very unique and the plates are really well balanced with veg protein and carb. But I will say I added chili flakes and a bit of garlic salt when I got home hahaha. MOOD This isn't your typical restaurant, it's a ghost kitchen! I just learned that term today. You order online and you get a text when it's done. Then you go in and pick up your food from a locker, the other side of which the kitchen has access. I'd try to order over the phone so the restaurant doesn't have to pay the online services. It seems like this place is just a storefront for many other kitchens inside. 'TUDE Don't have much to say here because there wasn't any human interaction!

I went to the ghost kitchen located in North San Jose by the airport to pick up my order. I have been in love ever since. I have tried 3 of their entrees and each one has been absolutely fantastic. The high price is totally worth it because the portions are big and the food is practically gourmet. You get what you paid for and you'll have enough for lunch and dinner. I have tried, the chicken tika masala, the mushroom chicken and the soy garlic chicken. Let me first start off by saying, the Korean cream corn is probably the best corn I ever had. I kept on saying wow for every bite. I think I will order a side or 2 of them tomorrow because I can't stop thinking about it. All of the sauces for each dish has so much flavor and all of the vegetables are sauteed with some kind of spice or sauce and has so much flavor to them. I look forward to trying more of the bowls and the drinks as well. Thank you Chicken Paddy for coming into my life and hopefully you can stay around for a long time! FYI, you can order it through Uber Eats and 949rufffood.com, the ghost kitchen.

Quick Summary: This restaurant serves delicious meals, offers great service, and is worth a visit…read more In writing this review, they have been opened for 6 months, and deserve some more love and recognition. For those that enjoy lengthy details, read on: Atmosphere: This a small restaurant located in downtown San Jose. Parking is available nearby the surrounding streets or the large parking garage, that is within walking distance of 5-7 min to the restaurant itself. Upon entering, the place can noticeably serve 5 tables max, but it is very clean and a homey environment. Serving staff are also very friendly and welcoming. There is no loud music playing, so you can enjoy your meal and have conversations with your table-mates. It's a good spot for dates, friendly gatherings, or to satisfy your craving for Thai food. Prices are reasonable and not that costly. They also do takeout orders as well - online, DoorDash, and phone in, for those that don't want to dine-in or prefer private meals at home. Food (the best part): Serving sizes are fairly big for what you are paying for (~$20-$23). The food is nicely presented, but most importantly, very flavorful, aromatic, and delicious. If you love spiciness, then this is a good meal place for you. With that said, the heat is NOT that intense, and you can still enjoy your meal and taste other ordered dishes and beverages just fine. If I had to put a number to the heat intensity, then it would be a scale of 1- 3 (it really depends on what you order), out of 10, for the first meal I had at this place (explained below). Personally, I love the hint of heat in their food, as it adds an extra layer of flavor and fills you with warmth. Specifics on what items I had: - Pineapple Fried Rice (chose beef as my protein): Nicely tossed curry flavor all around the rice. It is a little spicy, but not that overpowering. The sweetness of the cut pineapple also helps tone the heat down and is a nice addition to the rice. It is also served with cashews on the side of the plate, for added crunch and buttery nuttiness to the dish (it may also be intended, for those who are concerned with allergies, perhaps). It was very delicious and will definitely make you full. - Neeya Sunset Lychee Iced Tea: Refreshing and a hint of sweetness. The lychee flavor shines in this beverage, and there is lychee fruit included on top (4 pieces). I would highly recommend and come back to this drink for sure. - Mango Sticky Rice (what I was craving, when I discovered this place, searching online by chance): Presented beautifully on the plate. The dessert was light with a hint of sweetness, and the mango adds freshness to the dish. I loved it very much, and more than likely order it again in the future. What my friend ordered and let me have a bite and a sip to try: - Fried Chicken Over Fried Rice (he requested the fried chicken to be replaced with beef instead): Also tasted delicious and very flavorful for a traditional fried rice. There a pleasant smokiness from how all the components are tossed and cooked together. According to him, it was a little spicy, but I hardly noticed a difference. My choice in dish was spicer than his, but then again, I only took 1 spoonful of his food. - Butterfly Pea Lemonade: It is a pretty drink to look at, as there is purple layer on top and the yellow lemonade on the bottom. Also, tastes refreshing of citrus and not that sweet. Overall, please do give this a place a try as the experience, lovely staff, and great food are worth it. I will also be returning to try out their other menu selections.
