They are delicious foods there and really nice service. We will comeback soon. Recommend this restaurant as I love them

The owner was very friendly and the food are fresh. It is located in a very quite neighborhood.

Very tasty and fresh food; friendly and polite service; very clean; reasonable prices. We definitely will come back again.

Love the food ...garlic noodles, Thai red curry rice, popcorn chicken!!!! Yum!!! Friendly and respectful staff.... Overall excellent!! read more

Clearly wasted my time stoping here for my lunch break. Yelp said they open at 10am and was here at 10:07 and doors are locked "Open" sign is off, called and they don't pick up. I guess they open when they feel like it. read more

Yum Yum! Finally found some good garlic noodles! And I am very picky about my garlic noodles. I seek out the best and AK is on the top of my list. I just wish they were closer to my work and home. Please open one more spot. :) read more

The grilled squid had an awesome smoky flavor and cooked just right. Crispy noodle is surprisingly tasty. We got the one with seafood and it had a good amount of mussels. read more

AK kitchen it's one of the best restaurant I've ever been to, their food is amazing, especially the cubed beef and delicious milk tea, and other refreshments. I recommend this a 5 star review and I hope other people visit to, I'll definitely come here again, thanks for the service!!! read more

Went last night. Food presentation was excellent, five stars. Food quality good, 4 stars. My only complaint was the ambience needs some love. They need to lower the lights and add some not so expensive changes like put a divider down the middle to create more privacy so you don't feel like you're eating at a mess hall. They don't need to spend a lot of money to improve the ambience. Maybe they should hire a designer to help them. The prices are very reasonable and we'll definitely be back. read more

Amazing food! Big dinner on Father's Day. Everything tasty, delicious and very reasonably priced. The staff were very kind and attentive. I know we will be back. And such an interesting menu. Lot's of choices. This place more than deserves 5 stars. read more

My wife and I took literally one bite and wanted to throw up. You call this vietnamese food? The food is beyond bad. I wouldn't feed it to my worst enemy. read more

worst viet food ever. im there just for the coffee. but the coffe is so bad now:

Excellent food! We ordered lobster coconut noodles, crabs and soups. They tasted delicious. You have many choices which are convenient to order. Will come back. Thanks read more

We went here because we heard about the Vietnamese egg coffee. It was Sunday afternoon and there were only 3 other parties here besides us. We ordered our food, 1 appetizer, 1 rice with pork chops, 1 vermicelli with grilled pork, and 3 skewers. For drinks we got a peach tea, a coconut slush, and 2 Vietnamese egg coffee. We waited for 15 minutes and the peach tea and the coconut drink came out. Then another 15 minutes until one of the coffee and the appetizer came out, no sign of the main dishes and the 2nd coffee. I decided to go and check with the waiter to make sure, and they told me they were preparing the dishes. I waited another 10 minutes to check again, and the cashier told me they forgot to put in the order for the 2nd coffee, I said it was okay and don't worry about it then went back to my table. We finally got the rest of our food about 10 minutes later. Total of 50 minutes wait time for the food and a missing coffee that they didn't even care to hurry to make or try to compensate. Unacceptable. Food was also very pricy for the quality. The food didn't even taste fresh, it was more like they pre made it and threw it in the microwave, which is confusing because it took forever to come out. TLDR: Long wait for mediocre food. Restaurant was not even busy and waiter did not seem to care about the experience that the customer was having. read more

i wish i could give a rating of 0 but here we are. my party of 11 arrived around 1 pm with high hopes and optimism as the restaurant was having their grand opening. they did not answer the phone when we called ahead of time. we waited 10 minutes for them to set up the table. we ordered our food which was 2 phos, 2 pork plates, 3 chicken wing appetizers, 2 spring rolls, and 4 crispy noodle plates and 1 vermicelli. the Vietnamese coffee was good, but overpriced at $4.50 for half a cup. it is currently 2:35pm and we only have gotten a little more than half of our order. (we got the appetizers AFTER we got 3 of our dishes). THE FOOD: the pork plate was not hot and was not steaming, it was mildly warm as if it was sitting. the fish sauce wings barely had any flavor and just tasted like chicken w some salt. the crispy noodles were warm and still pretty good, NOT worth the wait though. THE SERVICE: smaller parties received their food before we even got many of our plates. the staff continuously apologize for the slow service and refill our waters. **they technically close at 2pm but we are still here, barely receiving our meals. read more

Very for quick and convenient for asian/ vietnamese bite but unfortunately the food not too good. Tried the place twice, a strike out both time. Not planning to return for the 3rd strike. read more

The restaurant just opened. At this time they are not taking credit cards. This is basically a Vietnamese restaurant, with a selection of foods from the rest of Asia. We really enjoyed our dinner. I had the pho ga (that's chicken soup). It was super. My wife had a beef dish that she really enjoyed. We'll be back. read more

I was hoping the food wood be good since it's close to my home.... however that was not the case this place is just not very good. I ordered the following: Thai fried rice, spring rolls, beef/rice plate. None of the food I ordered compared to the traditional Vietnamese food I've enjoyed at other places that are right here in our area. I WILL NOT BE RETURNING to AK Kitchen. Just drive down the road for better quality/tasting Vietnamese food. There are several really good places near Target on Silver-Creek. read more

Small business in deep evergreen. My family was feeling really hungry today and since we were low on gas we decided to check this place out. The worker was very kind and i loved the food. The popcorn chicken was my favorite dish I ate and would really recommend this restaurant to any of my friends! 10/10 read more

Just heard that they're open again and I gotta stop by for their fresh milk with black sugar boba. As expected, it's still as good as before, not overwhelmingly sweet like other places I've been to. Definitely check out egg coffee on my next visit. read more

This restaurant has a lot of Vietnamese snacks and street food. I went there with my husband for lunch and we ordered baby clam, fried tofu and congee. They have the best baby clam I ever tried in San Jose. All waiters and waitress are so friendly and nice. Will def come back to try other dishes on their menu. read more

I'm not sure who this Ella woman is, but she sounds like an entitled Karen... and you know how they act! Ella should stick to eating regurgitated vomit since that's what her review sounds like. Anyways, My friends and I arrived at this place for dinner. We ordered and got our food in 5 minutes time, so the service was optimal and fast. The summary of food flavors was a combination of well balanced, fresh, and everything you would expect from a great restaurant. We were so busy enjoying our food that we forgot to take pictures! I'm going to make this my regular spot for me and my friends. Awesome place!!! read more

This is a very good Vietnamese Restaurant. The menu is varied and the food is well prepared.

Easy parking. Nice big restaurant. The tables are not cramped together. We enjoyed our food as it seemed like home cooked Vietnamese food. Good spicy flavors cooked up fresh. You could see the chopped garlic and diced up ginger and green onions. I had a spice tofu dish that was tasty. My partner ordered the vegetarian pho and was pleased with the amount of veggies in the soup. We ordered garlic noodles as well which were tasty as well. The server was polite and knowledgeable about the menu. I would definitely come back to try more dishes. read more

The food was good and servers were attentive, but they have some improvements to make towards getting food out in a timely manner. We went for lunch on a Friday and waited 30 minutes for our appetizer to come out. The spring rolls were not just overdone, but black and burnt on the ends. I sent them back, and at this point we were about to be running late with two entrees yet to appear. I asked for the check and for the food to be packed up to go, and this request was accommodated with apologies for how long the food to take out. I'm giving 4 stars because the food (round 2 spring rolls, crab fried rice, crab vermicelli) was tasty and I really hope AK Kitchen stays open! However, if you have a short lunch break and need to get back to work, I might stick with calling for take-out ahead of time. read more

Heard good things about this new restaurant in my neighborhood and decided to try it. Very friendly staff and the food was delicious. Overall a great experience and would definitely come back. The place is spacious and a bit understaffed. But the staff are efficient. read more

Nice and quiet neighborhood place ! Great food and service. Will definitely come back and hope that they are able to make a good go of this place. read more

I like this place Happy hours from 2pm -5pm for $1 beers, variety of vietnamese appetizers, and awesome egg coffee. I wish they have happy hours til 6pm. read more

Went to AK Kitchen for the first time tonight. We ordered a bowl of Thai style clams as a starter. It was really good, and had some heat with the dipping sauce they serve with it. My husband had Vietnamese style beef cubes with rice and I had the chicken pho. Both of us really liked our dinners. I have to eat pho at least twice a month, because it's my favorite. I always went to Pho Y #1 on Capitol at Silver Creek. Now I don't need to drive as far. Sure hope this place succeeds. The place is super clean, and the service is good, too. We heartily recommend it! read more

The egg coffee is to die for! Gotta be the best egg coffee I've ever tasted. The honey walnut prawn is my favorite dish, I always order that when I get here. I will try more of their menu when I have the chance. read more

There, they have a lot of Vietnamese food, street food, and drinks, and I tried some, it really delicious, and I would like to come back and try the entire menu read more

I was at AK yesterday dinner. The foods are all good, especailly the Honey Walnut Prawn. The prices are very reasonable. The staff are nice and attentive. Highly recommended. I will definitely come back to try more foods. read more

Their food is delicious. So happy that we have a great Vietnamese restaurant in the neighborhood. I've already been here twice and plan to come back in the near future. This place has a lot of potential and I can't wait to see how well this restaurant does. Exciting addition to San Jose read more

"Crawfish fried rice" is more like 'fried rice toped with crawfish!' I'm a big seafood and fried rice lover and figured these 2 items would be perfect together BUT wow I not what I expected. The fried rice was plain and it tasted like they boiled the Crawfish separately instead of truly you know- cooking it? The entree had that fishy seafood smell but barely the taste lol. For what it's worth, my son said his Yangzhou Fried Rice was good but I didn't get to try it. read more

Still a soft opening, but we had a good meal -- spring rolls and the sea food hot pot. Everything was very good. Service couldn't have been better. Four stars because they are still a work in progress. We have high hopes though and are happy to have a new restaurant in the neighborhood. read more

This place needs more attention from the public!!! My family and I love going to AK Kitchen for the pho they have to offer. They not only have great food and smoothies, but also have a nice setup inside, with plenty of room for social distancing while eating, the bathrooms are always clean when we go to eat there and overall the restaurant is very well kept and clean too! The servers are really nice and on top of making sure we have everything we need and parking is not an issue either. I 100% recommend trying AK Kitchen! read more
