    Poke nachos
    Cindy M.

    Vast menu available. Keep it simple like I did today with grilled cheese and tomato bisque for my mane and then poke nachos for starters . Portions were just right. The cheesesteak was average. Had to ask for BBQ sauce to give it some flavor. Service is always nice. Food is better than good in most cases.

    We visited for happy hour on a weekday. Service was fine. We sat at the bar. Ordered two drinks and some food too. Beer, Dragonfruit lemonade, Four cheese dip and Classic sliders. Everything was ok. Menu has lots of choices. It hit the cravings. But inside was a bit unclean. Private lot in mall.

    Fried Chicken Sandwich

    I often go during happy hour which is 3-6pm so most appetizers are half off. Poke nachos are FIRE I eat 2 plates alone :). Don't recommend anything chicken as they tend to be burnt. Service is typically nice and you can order on the tablet so you don't have to flag your waiter down. It can get pretty hectic sometimes but honestly not bad for a quick cheap eat. The place is pretty big and loud.

    I usually come here for happy hour since they have amazing deals, but came here around 1pm on a Tuesday for lunch this time and it wasn't busy at all, which made for a nice, relaxed experience. The restaurant has a dimly lit ambiance with a variety of seating options: booths, high-top tables, and bar seating. I was seated in a lower-level booth next to the bar, which felt cozy. I ordered my go-to jambalaya with spicy rice (not spicy for me) and it did not disappoint. It was very flavorful with a generous portion, loaded with shrimp, crawfish, sausage, and chicken. Definitely hit the spot. My friend got the sliders with onion rings and said they were really delicious as well. Service was great. The server was friendly and attentive, checking in on us throughout the meal without being overbearing. Overall, a solid lunch spot and I'd come back again.

    LOVE THE HAPPY HOUR AT YARD HOUSE!!! Because what do you mean all these dishes was around 30 bucks?! I came with a friend on a Tuesday around 4pm and it wasn't crowded at all. We were able to be seated right away and ordered 3 items to share. Happy hour is Monday- Friday from 3-6pm and it's half off select appetizers and ALL PIZZAS! Late night is Sunday- Wednesday from 10pm to closing time. 1. Poke Nachos: Of course had to get their famous poke nachos. It's so good and hits every time with the sauce and garnish. 2. Truffled mushroom pizza: This pizza is so delicious and love that the crust is on the thinner side. It's crunchy and loaded up with mushrooms. I will say they don't cut the slices evenly and the toppings aren't spread out evenly either. 3. Seared Ahi Sashimi: The sashimi was pretty good and loved the sauce they paired with it. I think next time I would probably skip on this as it was a lot of food for two people to share. There's a bar in the middle of the place and I like the lighting in here. Will always come for their happy hour because it's so worth it!

    First time trying this restaurant. It was recommended to me & I'm glad I'm tried it. We came for the happy hour & all the food options was so good for such a good price. We came before the surge of customers came. The server we had was so nice. She kept checking on our table. You order and pay through the machine on the table. Overall, totally would be back again.

    Calamari

    2nd time coming super happy with our visit Mark was our server and he was great gave us perfect recommendations and we absolutely loved the dish!!! The Korean cheese steak and Korean fries were amazing The filet mignon with mashed potatoes and veggies for it to die for so delicious!!! We had a appetizer calamari so crispy and fresh with 2 dipping sauce amazing 10:10 The ambience was so peaceful not to loud And we got to watch the basketball game hehehe Overall awesome experience

    Spicy beef noodles
    Sylvia L.

    Met here with a friend for her first time. Surprisingy no wait on Sunday night. Asked our server Tristan for his faves as he's a swlf-pronounced foodie. Instead of alfredo, suggested the Twisted Alfredo and that was by far the best dish we ordered. Always need to get the poke nachos and tried the spicy beef noodles and crab stack roll. Poke nachos and crab stack combined was awesome per Tristan's suggestion too. The beef noodles were a bit too salty in my opinion but still edible.we ordered rhe creamsicle drink was good but one was enough. Long beach ice tea was good as was a he strawberry mule. The salted watermelon margarita was a bit too sweet for me this yime although its my go to with a tajin rim. Highly recommend Tristan and the twisted alfredo.

    I've gone to Yardhouse several times for the past few years, each time for their 3-6 PM happy hour. Select appetizers are half off, and cocktails are $2 off. I've become an avid lover of their poke nachos, the truffle mushroom pizza, and the Pineapple Express cocktail. While it does tend to fill up during happy hour, service has usually been quick.

    Margherita Pizza
    Julia L.

    Came here 1/14/25 w coworkers group of 10. Plenty of seating all around and a bar/ steak environment. Multiple tv screens to watch sports. I would say the table that was provided to us was slightly small. We were kinda squished together, would had been nice if they added another table. We ordered multiple apps and pizzas (came here for the happy hour (1/2 off selected apps and pizzas) I got the margarita pizza which was abt $9. Personally, not the best pizza I had and the cheese was stiff, like non stretchy and .. rubby. The tomatoes and basil were very fresh tho. I do like the crust Strawberry lemonade (~$5) was like a knockoff. Tasted like it came from a premade brand from the stores which was a disappointment. I took a bite of the fried calamari from a friends plate and I think it was pretty good. Overall, we had a great time chatting. Although we didn't order the steaks, the other foods were alright.

    The yardhouse is an amazing place to eat at! From the beers to the food it's so much better than Cheesecake Factory! Thank you to Blake Ivan Rachel 1000 times better than a sports bat to watch games

    Spicy Jambalaya
    Ron P. M.

    Our family was given a Gift Card for Christmas to the Yard House on Santana Row in San Jose, so we decided to pay a visit while our kids were still on holiday break. It was our first time and we thought with the weather being really rainy that evening there wouldn't be a lot of people. We were wrong. It was really crowded with an hour wait for a table of 5. Our family decided to wait (plus it started raining harder outside). The front staff were friendly and doing their best to move people smoothly to tables as there were many folks waiting for tables ahead of us. When we were finally seated, our server was friendly and quickly took our order for drinks and appetizers. We started with the Onion Ring Tower which was crispy and tasty, accompanied by ranch dip. My family attacked that tower of onion rings and I was lucky to get an onion ring! Our family order consisted of the Crispy Korean Chicken, Birria Tacos, and Four Cheese Pizza. As for me, I'm a Jambalaya guy so if it's on the menu, chances are I will order it. I ordered the Spicy Jambalaya which had blackened shrimp, andouille sausage, crawfish, chicken, roasted poblano peppers, all in cajun cream sauce. There was a choice of linguini, brown rice or jasmine rice. I had it with the rice. It was delicious and spicy. I'd order it again! Overall the ambience was the usual for the type of establishment. Loud with music and TV screens showing sports games (we were seated in a booth by the bar). I shared with our waiter that it was my daughter's 15th birthday and he said, "don't worry, I'll take care of it." He brought her a brownie topped with vanilla ice cream with "Happy Birthday" stenciled in cocoa powder on the plate! I rate a restaurant based on my family's experience and enjoyment of the food and it was definitely thumbs up all around!

    Solid experience with the nachos perfect for sharing. the Portland IPA with the orange slice hit the spot and complimented what we drank.

I've had the chik'n tenders before at a different location and this time was memorable-- better than I remember, would have again for sure. Tacos were good but if they weren't on the menu anymore, I wouldn't miss it. I did try to get one of the superfood smoothies and the very one I wanted was out. Of course. Good food, good service.

Clear broth, comes with an assortment of vegan proteins, and it's been consistent every single time over the years. Best had in cold weather. The spicy noodle soup is solid too but it doesn't hit the same way. The SP4 gourmet deluxe is my other staple and I order it like an appetizer. The protein comes out fried with a crispy shell and soft inside. The sauce leans hard on lemongrass and citrus but it's savory throughout, not sweet. Haven't had anything like it anywhere else. Orange nuggets are chewy with a citrusy and sweet glaze. Good enough that I skip the actual appetizers for these. The Szechuan Pineapple is spicy, salty, and savory with chewy gluten and a citrus undertone running through it. Green papaya salad is strictly sour and tangy. Fresh, nothing heavy about it. Sweet potato curry is definitely underrated. Potato goes soft all the way through and the whole thing tastes hearty without being heavy. Basil eggplant tofu skews sweet and the eggplant goes silky and it's a family favorite.

Love when a restaurant proudly represents and showcases the heritage and culture around the cuisine. We ordered the Meat and Veggie Sampler which is described on the menu as "a combination of our veggie sampler with stewed lamb, beef, and chicken accompanied by 8 rolls of injera." I've tried Ethiopian cuisine in San Diego, Sacramento, Texas, and Michigan in the last year -- and I would argue that Walia probably makes it to the top for taste, quality, presentation, authenticity, and cultural experience via the ambiance. I'm looking forward to our next visit to try other menu options. Will definitely recommend this restaurant as family, friends, neighbors, and colleagues look for their go-to Ethiopian restaurant in the South Bay.
