My wife found this place on Yelp on the way back from Carmel/Monterey. It's one of those places…read morewhere I walked in and was instantly in love - it smelled amazing and I wanted to buy everything. There are several refrigerator cases full of smoked meats of all kinds - chicken, pork, beef, sausages - and also a jerky shelf with lots of selections as well. We got a smoked chicken and some sausages. Sausages are still in our freezer, but we broke down the smoked chicken and ate it for a few meals (heated gently in the oven). It was tender and smoky, great with some barbecue sauce. We also got a couple sandwiches - pulled pork and the Jackie Special (one of our kids got a sandwich with just meat and bread). They were all huge, stuffed with smoked meat, and super delicious. Our family of 4 shared 3 sandwiches and had at least a half sandwich left. Definitely want to come back again some time, especially to try another sandwich and grab a few more things out of that refrigerator!

As noted before, this has the best kabobs & hamburgers; both are a cut above anyplace else. I…read morethink the meat is ground on site. I mentioned before the rice has a scent and flavor beyond jasmine or basmati. The French fries are crisp & fresh. The flat bread is tender. The menu has expanded and is more flexible. A new gem is the lentil soup; creamy & exotically spiced without being too much so. It is not the least expensive place, but you get more than you pay for. Tayyibaat remains our go-to splurge.

This was definitely huge sticker shock for me because I'm usd to getting mine from Safeway or Costco where they are less than half the price, but at least we were supporting a local business. They had a good selection of other meats including different seasoned bacons, marinated chickens, sausage, among other stuff. Again, pretty pricey, but it's an old school deli in Los Altos, so not too surprised by most of the pricing. Enjoyed the corned beef and bacon we got!

The sandwich bar is back! Covid must be over…read more I went in for my usual pilgrimage to Dittmer's. It usually takes me two and a half hours but hey I get to see my friends and drop in on Dittmer's. I usually buy the smoked ham hocks because I am addicted to a Cuban black bean soup. I have tried smoked ham hocks from other sources, but the results were so bad that I threw out the soup. The only place I have found that has true smoked ham hocks is Dittmer's. I noticed the price of ham hocks has gone up. But many of the other prices have held steady. The store remains neatly organized and is spic and span. It's kind of what you would expect from a German shop. Carlo's black bean soup from All around the world cookbook by Sheila Lukins. Totally worth a 2.5 hour drive. 2 pounds of black beans Quarter cup olive oil 3 cups, diced onions Eight cloves of garlic, bruised and peeled. One smoked ham hock 6 quarts water 2 tablespoons +1 teaspoons ground cumin 1 tablespoon dried oregano Three bay leaves. 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper Pinch of cayenne 6 tablespoons chopped flat leaf parsley 6 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves. 1 teaspoon salt Two medium red bell peppers, diced reserve a quarter of a cup for the garnish Quarter cup dry sherry 1 tablespoon pack of brown sugar 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice. One cup of crème fraîche or sour cream. Soak the beans overnight, drain and rinse. Heat the oil over low heat and sweat the onions and garlic, about 10 minutes. Add the beans with the ham and the water to a large pot. Stir in the 2 tablespoons cumin, the oregano, bay leaves, black pepper, cayenne, and 2 tablespoons each of the parsley in cilantro. Bring to a boil, then simmer, uncovered until the beans are very tender and the liquid is reduced by about 3/4. This will take about one and a half to two hours. Transfer the bone to a plate and let it cool slightly. shred the meat and return it to the pot. Stir in the remaining 4 tablespoons parsley, 2 tablespoons cilantro, salt, and all except 1/4 of a cup of the bell peppers, the remaining 1 tablespoon cumin, the sherry, brown sugar and, lime juice. Simmer another 30 minutes, stirring frequently. Adjust the seasoning and serve hot. Garnish with a dollop of crème fraîche and a sprinkling of the diced peppers and chopped cilantro. Eight large servings or 12 small portions.

I live in Evergreen and it takes me almost 30 minutes to drive here during dinner time traffic…read more That's how good the food quality is here! It's worth the time and effort for high quality meats; here it's Japanese style meat and bbq aka yakiniku. The service is wonderful too, the owner and staff are always very personable and eager to please each time we visit for the past three years. The place is warm and clean, I appreciate the overhead vents at each table. They are able to confidently accommodate large parties to two person groups. They can get busy and full on the weekends though, so consider making reservations. My friends and I don't gorge on meat as much as we used to, but when we do, Meat Time is high on the rotation due to the high quality meats and cuts, plus Japanese style bbq. We always order the premium selection of the all you can eat menu which is $68/person. You choose the cuts you want and the servers will bring them to you for you to grill at your table. They have extra premium wagyu cuts that are priced ala carte and worth it every time. As someone who just visited Japan a few times this past year, this place is as close as you will get to authentic Japanese wagyu in the greater San Jose/Milpitas area. Hmm the yummy tender fatty melts in your mouth wagyu. There are delicious side dishes and vegetables that come with the ayce, but I don't want to focus your time on them. Taste the delicious heart attack in your mouth. Can you tell I like this place yet? If you like high quality premium meat yakiniku style, you know what time it is?

Everything was delicious, from the Wagyu fried rice down to the brisket and beef belly. You HAVE to get the egg sauce, it's so tasty with the meat!! Since we were celebrating his birthday, they gave him a free scoop of their yuzu sherbet (also a must try). It was the perfect pallet cleanser and a very refreshing dessert. Our servers name was Junyo and she was awesome and very attentive! I had a great first time experience and will definitely be back.

I would have loved a more simple sandwich that focused just on the high quality ingredients. But overall really enjoyed the experience!

We only picked out a stable: American wagyu. The meat looked pretty good with marble through out. Surprisingly when put in hot pot it shrinks into a wrinkly ball and also turned black. I have never seen a meat like that (also we only buy hot pot meat at Nijya and their quality is great). Taste wise the meat was quite tough and stringy and has a gamy metallic after taste. In the pictures the kighter hotpot meat is from costco and the black ones is from Meat House. Costco one tasted much better. At this point im not even upset about the money spent just upset that our hot pot night was kind of ruined. Service is ok. Kind of straight forward. You picked the meat and pay and leave.

I often get the American Wagyu Chuck Roll and New Zealand Lamb Shoulder--both are essential for the perfect hot pot experience. What I love most is that everything here is pure cuts, no processed meat. Every bite is pure happiness--tender, fresh, and incredibly flavorful. I've even heard that many people take their meats on ski trips for hot pot--now that's what I call enjoying life! Highly recommend Meat House for high-quality meats that elevate your hot pot game!
