P S: Great place to check out if you're looking for those hard-to-find Japanese import CDs and DVDs, magazines, and authentic manga. Be wary, though. The imports cost twice as much here than in Japan.
Carissa Ott: I love the layout of the store and how authentic and adorable all the merchandise is!
Lindsay Eyink: Get you Japanese notebook and pen fetish on!
Ashley Anglin: Curry and rice and peas. Jerk does not seem authentic. No actual jerk sauce.
Rebekah Henderson: Jerk chicken is spiced appropriately curried goat was also yum. Plantains excellent. If you have a hankering for Jamaica this place is it.

Fast Food Restaurant · Blossom Valley · 55 tips and reviews
Tyler Szabo: If you're craving it this, too, is authentic In-N-Out. The staff are also very friendly and accommodating though the orders can queue up a little.
Patrick Newstrom: Get the double-double burger, animal fries & a shake...simple, economical & delicious!
Vietnamese Restaurant · Central San Jose · 11 tips and reviews
Miroslav Voda: Bahn mi sandwiches are really authentic and so tasty 🤤👍
Gary Eng Walk: Yummy crusty bread! The #7 (egg & grilled pork) is the best. Comes in large ($4.50) and small ($2.75) but definitely go for the large. You can also get an egg-only banh mi (not on the menu) for $3.25.
Malay Restaurant · West Valley · 37 tips and reviews
David Chew: Egg chow fun and rojak are very authentic Singaporean
V C: Pretty authentic Malaysian dishes - Nasi Lemak, Rendang, Roti Perata. Quality is sometimes a bit off but prob the best option in south bay.
William Gunn: Best fried tofu I've ever had (by which I mean, it actually had taste). They make it in house. Also try the shaved ice drink with coconut and red bean.
Falafel Restaurant · Central San Jose · 164 tips and reviews
Nishad George: There's usually always a crowd. Really nice outdoor casual setting, it's not "authentic" falafel by any means, but still delicious and worth my money.
Bálint Kriván: We've tried the gyros and chicken pita, both were great with plenty of meat inside.
John Bobeldyk: Go to Falafel's Drive-In and order the large falafel & banana shake. You'll save $2 and get the two best items on the menu!

Poke Restaurant · 22 tips and reviews
Jonathan Marinaro: Take the Mission Burrito-esque assembly line, but do it with super fresh poke including Tuna, Hamachi, Salmon and others, with a ton of other addons, on top of rice or salad.... for 13 bucks. Awesome!
Poki Bowl: Customize your own Poki Bowls!
Andrew Sandler: Finally got in here after seeing the line out the door for months. Staff is incredibly helpful. Fish is really fresh and the sides / extras are really generous.
