    So I *think* this is the same restaurant listed as "Golden Bowl LLC" in Doordash (which I ordered…read morefrom) - same address, and I saw an old Yelp picture of tofu skin salad with celery which looks like what I ordered. Everything came wrapped in plastic wrap, which I've never seen - it was plastic wrap, lid, then another layer of plastic wrap! I thought "Wow, they really go above and beyond to make sure there are no leaks and the food stays hot!" Um no. Turns out the round lids are a different size than the round bowls. I couldn't close them together. So I guess the restaurant figured this double plastic-wrapping would be the solution to bottoms and tops that don't fit together. Aside from this strange issue and the portions being smaller than other restaurants, the food was pretty good! We had a special $10 off promo from Doordash, so we got: - Griddle Cooked Shrimp - SO loves ganguo (griddle cooked/dry pot) so he really liked the flavors and was sucking every last drop from the shrimp heads - Tofu Skin Salad with Celery - this was ok, wish the tofu skin was thicker and softer - Hot & Spicy Chicken Wings - this was pretty good too! - Pork Pot Sticker - decent, prefer the potstickers from Apple Green Bistro - Shredded Pork with Garlic Sauce - really solid for fans of yu xiang rou si - Broccoli with Tofu - tasty sauce and fresh broccoli and tofu Worth a try!

    Mislabeled allergens…read more At first I was thrilled that Saltalk offered an allergen filter. Over the past few weeks I had ordered a few meals and began to trust them. I had stopped rigorously checking the ingredient list on everything. Then I ordered their Penne Alfredo that was marked "Gluten Free." About half way through the meal I was thinking, "this is some really tasty GF pasta, I wonder what it's made out of." The ingredient label on the container said Wheat. Panic. I went back to check the website, and it said Gluten Free. Maybe everything's fine. After trying to unsuccessfully call their customer service line twice, a friend at work was able to call their contact and confirm the worst. Now I'm out of commission for probably about a week, missing the super important onsite week at work that only happens every few months. After this incident I can not trust any allergen label on their site. Another Yelp review mentions they are not labeling Oyster Sauce as shellfish, and one coworker said they doubted the accuracy of a vegetarian label. They need to fix this before someone ends up in the hospital.

    I want to start by noting that I rarely write negative reviews. If you look at my review history,…read moreyou'll see that I generally take the time to highlight positive experiences and give businesses the benefit of the doubt. It takes a sustained pattern of issues, combined with an unhelpful management response, for me to feel compelled to write a review like this. This review is specific to the ReadySpaces location on Alma Ave in San Jose and does not reflect on other ReadySpaces locations. I've been a member at ReadySpaces on Alma Ave for almost three months which is the minimal contractual leasing period, and unfortunately my experience has consistently fallen short of what is advertised as a professional, supportive workspace. The primary issue is not just the physical conditions of this space, but how concerns are handled by management. The warehouse units are extremely cold, especially for those working long hours, early or late into the evening. Despite this, there was never any clear communication--written or verbal--that portable space heaters were prohibited. That restriction does not appear in the license agreement or posted facility rules. When power issues occurred, management response focused on blaming individual tenants rather than addressing infrastructure limitations. I also experienced repeated problems accessing shared resources, specifically the conference room. I was told multiple times that I did not have functional access to the reservation system, which prevented me from reserving the room properly. On one occasion, the conference room was occupied for hours late into the night, with occupants stating they intended to stay indefinitely. When shared spaces are treated this way, it effectively excludes other members from access, especially those who were never properly onboarded into the reservation system in the first place. More concerning was the lack of enforcement around who is present in the facility after hours. I personally observed non-business activity that appeared inconsistent with a professional warehouse environment. These concerns were raised with management, including Regional Manager Ryan, yet there was no meaningful follow-up or acknowledgment beyond dismissive responses. Surveillance cameras are present, so it is difficult to understand how these issues are overlooked while tenant concerns are met with defensiveness. Communication from management, specifically Ryan, felt reactive and lacking accountability, shifting blame to tenants at all cost, rather than collaborative or solution-oriented. Concerns were reframed as tenant responsibility instead of being acknowledged as operational issues affecting members' ability to work safely and productively. For clarity, this review has no bearing on Property Manager Jonathon, who has consistently done his best to be helpful and compassionate, even when his authority and ability to act appeared limited. I would caution prospective tenants--especially women--to carefully evaluate whether this space aligns with their needs. Transparency, consistent enforcement of rules, and respectful communication matter just as much as square footage. Unfortunately, those elements have been lacking here.

    Been here almost a year and have had a fantastic experience because of Mike! He has been the best…read moreproperty manager anyone could have ever asked for. He's always available to answer any questions and is always willing to lend a helping hand to any tenant in need. Mike has been nothing but amazing and we're really glad to have had our first experience renting a commercial space be with him. Really liked that ReadySpaces is a low commitment option for growing businesses. Other warehouse spaces usually require you to sign a lease for a minimum of two years whereas here, you're only required to stay for minimum of 3 months and every month after that is month to month, and you're able to move to different units during that time without any penalty so it's perfect for people like us, who we are still trying to figure out the amount of space we need. They also have cool amenities like docks, forklifts, and pallet jacks available for tenants to use. Other great perks is that if you're in e-commerce, USPS/UPS/FedEx pickup and deliver packages daily and internet (fiber optic) + utilities are included in your rent. If you're a new/growing business, ReadySpaces is a great solution for your storage needs, and with Mike as the manager, you know you'll be in good hands!

    This place was recommended by a friend, and it definitely did not disappoint! Everything we ordered…read morewas so good. 1. Japanese Egg Salad Sando -- 10/10 Tasted just like the ones we've had in Japan! So creamy, flavorful, and satisfying. 2. Longanisa Sando -- 10/10 Such a unique sando and SO good! What a great Filipino twist. The longanisa worked perfectly in sandwich form. 3. Potato Tostones -- 8/10 Very crispy and flavorful. The portion was pretty large and would be perfect for sharing with a group. 4. Pandan Butter Mochi -- 10/10 Great pandan flavor, the perfect chewiness, and not too sweet or heavy. 5. Ham & Brie Toast with Seasonal Fruit (Apricot) -- 8/10 I'm not usually a big toast person, but this was really good! Loved the balance of textures and flavors, especially with the apricot. Overall, such a great spot with a really fun menu. Bummed we don't have a place like this in SoCal!

    Learned about Milk Belly Bakery from TikTok. When my family and I came here it was busy…read more At first glance the place looks to be clean and cozy. Most of the table seems to be filled, luckily there was a few open seating left. The menu is straightforward and simple. We ordered the Breakfast Sando and the Longanisa Sando. Let me tell you everything came out fresh and delicious. The sandwiches were still warm and the bread was so soft and fluffy. We were able to enjoy our sandwiches, relaxed, and not felt rushed. Love this place of establishment. If you are ever in the area do stop by and try this place out for yourself. You will not be disappointed.

    Always a favorite and if you haven't gone - this is a must try for you…read more I usually get the Bahn Mi Sandwich... but this time I got the Medallion Vermicelli Noodle Bowl and it was amazing! (Pork lemongrass patties served with Rice-vermicelli Noodles, spring mix, crispy fried onions, green onion scallion oil, cucumbers sweet pickled carrots & daikons, cilantro, jalapeños, sweet and savory vegan Vietnamese "fish" sauce. Complimentary 1 oz. side of Green Sauce (our signature cilantro aioli). The only thing I would have liked is more of the Vietnamese "fish" sauce - they give you one little container which, in my opinion, is not enough. And be sure to dip the Medallions in the green sauce... super yummy! It is a small place with limited seating, but take away is just as good! Street parking is in the surrounding area... and a parking garage across the street. The staff.... ALL super friendly and helpful. I always feel like they treat me like family - it is very nice. Would I go back? Yes, always!!

    Review for food only. Had the Fried Chicken Banh Mi, Porchetta Banh Mi and Lemongrass Banh Mi…read more Ordered through Door Dash. All three sandwiches were pretty good size; almost as long as a full length French baguette. As big and as packed as a good size burrito! All three had the sweet pickled crunchy carrots and daikon radish. Also lined with cucumber slices, and a spread of their signature cilantro aoli which was yummy. There's also thin layer of chutney like sweet caramelized onion. The aoli tasted like it had mayo as base ingredient. Bread was crunchy on the outside but soft inside. Had the jalapeno on the side. 1. Fried Chicken Banh Mi - this is like having a chicken katsu sandwich Vietnamese style vs Japanese. It has thinly sliced dark meat chicken coated with panko type breadcrumbs fried to golden crispy. Looked like it was going to be dry becaue meat was thin but it was not dry at all. All the veggies especially the cilantro worked really well with the fried chicken. Enjoyed this one a lot. Ate the entire sandwich before I remembered to take a photo. Good meat to veggie and bun ratio. 2. Pochetta Banh Mi - thin slices of grilled pork belly with the same veggie additions as above. This meat's flavor note was mild garlic and pepper. Mostly leaner slices of pork. You get layers of flavor: garlic and pepper from the meat; sweet, vinegary tart from the cucumber, carrots & daikon; and herby taste from the fresh cilantro and the aioli. My #2 of the 3 sandwiches. Lemongrass Chicken Banh Mi - mild citrus flavor from the lemongrass. This sandwich's ingredients have the most similar flavor to each other so even though lemongrass has a stronger flavor this sandwich is not as memeorable as the others because it was not as complex. Overall very good sandwiches with good meat to veggie proportion. Reasonably priced for the serving portion and how many ingredients they offer.
