    SHORT RIBS/BONE MARROW FRIED RICE
    Aye K.

    Cute spot for fusion food with a very extensive menu! Service was friendly but a bit on the slower side, though it was pretty busy inside. The dishes we tried were just okay. We had the short rib/bone marrow fried rice and the dino rib ramen. I know the menu is fusion, but the flavors did not particularly remind me of Vietnamese food or any other specific type of Asian cuisine. Overall, a fun concept with lots of options to choose from. The food was not quite for me, but wishing them well!

    The first time we had DD's was so good. The soy garlic chicken was juicy, and I tried the Dino rib banh mi which was super tender and really fell off the bone. Really tasty stuff This time around I brought my parents to try it. My dad ordered the Dino rib ramen. To my surprise, the meat came just sitting on top of the bone as if the bone was reused. I get that maybe the Dino bone might be getting expensive to supply but the authenticity of the dish just fell right out the window for me. Otherwise, service was good and fast, [[HIGHLIGHT]]the place is clean with pretty decor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The drinks came after the meals were delivered though, wish they brought them out sooner.

    Came to town to visit my girlfriends in the area & we were excited of the reviews & food presentation so we gave it a try. Unfortunately, the meat was over cooked. I am guessing it was cooked in advance & they reheated when it's ordered. Not much meat for plate of $25 over, fresh herbs & vegetables which is not fresh, It wilted quick. Looking back at the pictures of the dishes, it's probably taken by the restaurant owner & not the viewer. It has been cropped & photoshop. Disappointment of the food for the price of $30 a dish. Barely any meat.

    I was a bit disappointed with D-D Delight. There was a lot of hype around this place, but unfortunately, the food didn't quite live up to it for me. The menu is packed with trendy fusion concepts and buzzword-type dishes: Dino Ribs Pho, bone marrow fried rice, Bò Kho Poutine, chili crunch, birria tacos, lechon mashups, and all kinds of creative Vietnamese and Filipino-inspired combinations. I appreciate the creativity and some of the dishes were actually pretty good, but others really fell short. Sometimes it felt like there were just too many ideas and trends being combined into one menu. The dishes sound amazing and definitely photograph well, but the actual flavors were hit or miss. Overall, this felt more like a hype and social media type of restaurant than a place I would return to specifically for the food. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend it.

    Nice little find during my visit to San Jose! It would be 5 stars but the service is a little slow (they are very nice though). The Dino rib is nice cause it's already cut and presented on the bone so you don't have to worry about nawing into a rib bone . Bone marrow was very succulent. I loved my lechon plate, a glutinous dish, though my skin wasn't as crispy as I would have liked it to be. Good salmon, full of flavor. I don't think they have plain rice so tomato rice (or sticky) were the only options. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a place that looks to get busy quick, on the go territory so it's not a very optimal place for quiet (or to bring a baby) but would come here again![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Dessert they had options but I went for the sweet Bangkok which oddly took a lot of time to make. Once it arrived though it was very very good - and would come back just for that.

    I was honestly surprised to see the positive reviews because our experience with the food was quite different. We came in around 5:40 PM on a Saturday expecting freshly prepared, flavorful food. Unfortunately, several of the dishes we ordered were extremely dry and lacked flavor. The Bò Kho (beef rib), the Picanha steak sizzling and shaken beef dry-ramen were particularly disappointing. The meat was very dry, tough, and had a texture similar to jerky, which made it difficult to enjoy. When we mentioned this to the staff, we were told that the food was pre-cooked and that this was simply how it was served. I understand that some dishes may be prepared in advance, but I believe there should still be attention to maintaining the proper texture, moisture, and quality before serving. My father ordered the Lechon sticky rice. The pork was reasonably okay, but unfortunately, the rice was extremely hard and difficult to eat. I hope the restaurant will take this feedback seriously, particularly regarding the preparation and holding of pre-cooked food. Freshness, texture, and flavor make a significant difference in the overall dining experience. The staff were friendly, but unfortunately, the quality of the food made our overall experience disappointing. I would not recommend the restaurant based on our visit, and I don't plan to return unless there are improvements in food quality and preparation.

    Talk about authentic Vietnamese food with a twist of creativity, and most importantly- full of flavor! It's been a long while since I been to D-D, so I was happy to see my usual favorite (Bo Kho) along with a whole expanded menu! My family and I ordered the Bo Kho, Dry Noodles with Shaken Beef , Taiwanese Spicy Chicken Sandwich, and the Lechon Lettuce Wrap Everything came out fast, hot, and visually appealing. Taste and quality of the food was great, with the meat juicy and tender (falling off the bone), noodles al dente, the pork and vermicelli dish well balanced. The only thing I would have liked more is if the Taiwanese chicken can be a thicker cut. We also got the chance to be greeted and served by the owners, Diane and Chef Duy - along with their friendly staff. They suggested the Pandan Matcha (which is made with REAL Pandan) and the Salted Matcha Pretty good drinks for a restaurant! We also had the pleasure of trying their desserts (offered through their full catering service), which were all delicious and not too sweet! My personal favorite was the Pandan Crème Brûlée

    I'm so happy I came across this place. I've passed by it so many times and I finally gave in and don't regret it at all. I got a egg coffee and it was ok to me however my bf really liked it. I got the short ribs/bone marrow fried rice and my bf got the Dino rib sizzling plate. Both were so good and the meat was so tender full of flavor. This is a must try and don't skip out it's amazing!! But I will say the waiters tend to ask how everything is as we pay so I guess checking often would be better for customer experience.

    *Visited with a group of 3 around 6pm on a Wednesday Heard a lot of great things about D-D Delight, and finally found a chance to go. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is cozy and very pretty inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's plenty of seating, and you have the option to order through a QR code, their kiosk, or with a staff member.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Their staff is quick to assist and very welcoming :) OKAY THE FOOD: * Soft Shell Crab Tempura: Pretty tasty! I appreciate that it was perfectly crispy and had a great amount of crabs. * Hand Pull Sui Cao/ Brisket Noodle: Think of Bo Kho with chonky brisket & the bounciest yellow egg noodles. PRETTY YUMMY and would probably get it again. * Short Rib Bo Kho Platter: This dish was literally insane. A little different, but it worked out LOL I love their toasted bread a lot more than the toasted tortillas with this dish. * Salted Matcha: I am such a matcha snob, but their salted matcha was *chef's kiss* I definitely want to come back and try their other matcha drinks as well as their other drinks (there's a HUGE selection)

    This was our first time here and, walking in, I was instantly impressed by the beautiful scenery and flowers! Everything was clean and beautiful. To order, you have the option to do so at the counter, by scanning a QR code, or through a waiter. Service was quick and friendly! short ribs bo kho platter (serve up to 2 people): This dish was delicious! It came out cheesy and hot, and the flavors really burst. I also liked that they give you both tortillas and bread on the side. banh mi french toast: This dish was also delicious! I'm not sure what the yellow sauce was, it tasted like vanilla to me, but it was really good. My only complaint is that the dish was a bit too sweet for me, but if you have a sweet tooth, you should definitely try it! The bread was super eggy in a good way. first love lychee hibiscus: The drink was tart and refreshing. It did have way too much ice though, about 60% of the drink was ice. I do wish it had a stronger lychee flavor, but it was a nice touch that there was an actual lychee fruit in the drink. Overall, I would definitely come here again!

    SHAKEN BEEF FRIES

    We've always ordered take out from here and everything we've ordered has been amazing! However, we finally got the chance to dine in today! We came around 4pm on a Sunday and there wasn't anyone dining in, so we got seated right away. I was in awe of how pretty the restaurant was, so the host sat us in the corner with the pretty signage and artificial cherry blossom tree hehe. The menu is very big, which can be a bit overwhelming. We decided to stick to our usual order, short rib/bone marrow fried rice and crispy chicken fried rice, but decided to try the shaken beef fries as an appetizer. The food came out really quick, since it was just us there at the time. The shaken beef on the fries were very tender and just melts in your mouth! When we packed our leftovers, you can see the juices from the beef spilling out lol. My bf gave me some of the crispy chicken skin from his bowl and it was so good; you can hear the crunch when I bit into it! My short rib/bone marrow fried rice was amazing as usual and very filling. We agreed that the food tastes even better when it's served fresh! We both enjoyed our drinks; sunset (mango hibiscus) and sparkling passionfruit calamansi. They have so many drinks that sound so good! Matcha, tea, fruit tea, milk tea, coffee, dessert drinks, and so much more! Our waiter, Duy, was very friendly and provided us with great customer service. We appreciated him checking up on us and making sure we were content with our meal. I would love to try their other dishes, but I keep coming back for the same thing haha. Maybe I'll try something new next time!

    The service is awesome! I've eaten here before and the food is amazing! It is Asian fusion food at its finest. The traditional food items were to die for! Their coffee is amazing with the combinations! Tea options were great too!

    Kaelin N.

    So underwhelming! I was so excited to try D-D Delight, but I was disappointed. The food is ok- it's trying too hard to be too many things where you can't really appreciate it tbh. It's just too busy. While it is unique and a fun try, it's not for me. The service we experienced on a Saturday for lunch was very poor. We got 3/4 of our entrees, and we continued to wait for the last one. I had to physically get up and catch someone from the counter, as they avoided my table since they thought they were done serving us. It was after waiting for 20 minutes, btw, and when I asked about our last entree, I was told "oh sorry we lost the ticket"... That really left a foul taste for me.... MEH. I don't feel inclined to come back personally, but I can see the novelty. It's cute inside and it's fusion-y and fun. I get it.

The Chinese sausage pieces sprinkled throughout added extra flavor too. The bowl is deep so there seemed to be roughly 5 cups of rice. Unfortunately the laksa shrimp fried rice was disappointing in comparison. It didn't have much flavor overall - better than plain rice but definitely needed more seasoning. The menu lists homemade laksa sauce as an ingredient but we didn't taste that, and the dish wasn't spicy at all either despite the 1 chili pepper rating. But it looked just like the menu picture so maybe the description is wrong. Fried chicken with tom yum sauce came with 6 pieces. Very juicy. We also enjoyed the herbal roasted prime steak with sausage rice. The delicious rice had the taste of fish sauce. Most of the short rib slices were soft and a few were slightly chewy but overall decent quality. Some of the fattier pieces of meat were still attached to the bone.

    Final Thoughts: 4.33/5…read more They were our caterer for a work party. This is a food truck and they seem to have everything ready to be served to us. Asian fusion foods are typically my go-to choice and so I was very excited that they were providing us food today. Food: Garlic Fried Chicken Bowl: 4.3/5 The sauce on this is divine with the chicken. It's like an unagi sauce with garlic in it. It has some saltiness, sweetness, and that umami flavor. Garlic taste and scent is present, but not too overpowering, which I really enjoyed. That flavor is great, but some places really overdo it for me. Just a personal preference though. For the chicken itself, it's very tender and juicy on the inside and still has some of that nice crunch on the outside. Perhaps this is because the cut of meat is the chicken thigh. It's not super crispy because I don't believe this is being fried to order for us. Seems to be food held in a warmer until its ordered. Kimchi was the side that they had provided with this dish and I am here for that. Some people aren't the biggest fan of this and I saw that from the looks my coworkers gave it. Personally, very much enjoyed it though. That sourness and spice from the kimchi just balances out this bowl really well. The veggies are nice and crispy. Gives it that freshness. Also, very slight detail and addition, but I always enjoy the sesame seeds and furikake sprinkle as a garnish. There's a nice nuttiness to it that they provide as a simple garnish. Spicy Tuna Poké: 4.0/5 This item was alright. The flavor was also really good, but I did get tired of eating just one type of poke protein. Typically when I go to get poke, it's 2 to 3 scoops of different proteins with various sauces to change up the flavor. I did get tired of this one after a few bites. The flavor of this item was very good though. There's a nice kick from it and the flavor tastes like a mix of kewpie mayo, soy sauce, sriracha, and sugar. Very simple, but you can't go wrong with those flavors. For the side, they added seaweed salad. Again, not your average side dish. Personally, I enjoyed it, but it might not be a common or familiar side dish for other individuals. It has a nice sweetness and nuttiness to it. For texture, there's a nice bite to it, which is ncie since the tuna is very soft and doesn't contribute much to the texture component. Menu: Small Their menu seems quite limited, but again, that is normal for a food truck, I believe. The items they provide do it just fine for me. I appreciate that they also have an option for the vegetarians. The menu we were provided was limited to 4 items, which is fine since the scale of this party wasn't anything too wild and we were able to satisfy everyone with what they provided. --------- Quality: Alright The quality of the food seems OK. It came out within a few minutes for us and I don't think it takes just a few minutes to fry that piece of chicken. I could be wrong though, so no one quote me on that. Just an observation. Not the highest expectations because their limited to the space and area in general. The product they provide is very good though. Overall, for something that has raw seafood in it, it seemed quite fresh and tasty. The items aren't made to order either and it's more assemble and serve to order, but again, they seem to be making it work with the product that they are selling. Price: Estimated Because this was a catering event, I am actually unaware of how much my administrator paid for the food. What I know is that she paid for a certain amount of bowls. From the looks of this item though, I want to estimate the price of each bowl being around $16 to $20 depending on the food item provided. Seems quite average for a bowl of food these days. Service: Quick and fast Because most of the food is already prepared and ready, the interaction with them itself is very limited. They took our order and provided us with the food. Nothing too significant to note and that is to be expected with the food truck. They were very sweet though and explained the menu items to be when I had a question. Ambiance: Simple and cute food truck The design on their food truck is so cute. The riceball is my favorite because it has this very cute face and just looks darling to me. The outside has a simple design with the name and logo on top and then perhaps some of the food items they provide written on the bottom section of the truck. Doesn't seem like anything too fancy, but simplicity is best for me. Location/Parking: Wherever they travel and navigate to Because they're a food truck, they can drive to you, which is really convenient. On Yelp, it states that their located on 36 Commercial Street in downtown, which might be where their truck is serving most of the time. Again, it is a food truck though, so they have the ability to drive to you and travel around to their customers, which is quite convenient is reaching a broader group of people.

    Hands down my new favorite food truck. The portions are generous, the customer service is…read moretop-notch, and the Mac salad is perfection. Fast, friendly, and consistently great. 5 stars!

First off, great service! Upon arriving the hostess greeted us and asked if we had a reservation. When we told her yes and gave our first name, she immediately said our last name without looking down and seated us. Within moments our server, wish I remembered his name because he was awesome!, also greeted us and introduced himself. He didn't rush us or anything but politely asked if we wanted something to drink other than water. Then he took our order and everything came out in good time. The food was yum with great flavor and the space had a lively scene without it being crowded. So fun to see the double bar that has an opening to the dining room. Everyone was super friendly and wait staff totally professional and helpful. We look forward to come back and to maybe even host a private event since the have a room that can fit about 24 people.

    CHECK YOUR BILL!!. I recently dined at Elyse in San Jose and wanted to share a mixed experience…read more First, the positives -- the food was genuinely very good. The dishes were well-prepared, flavorful, and thoughtfully presented. The overall ambiance was also enjoyable, making it a nice spot for a dinner out. Unfortunately, the experience took a concerning turn at the end of the meal. Our bill came out to $86.42, and I handed my credit card to the waiter. Within seconds (thanks to my card alerts), I received a notification that $103.92 had been charged. When the waiter returned with the receipt, there was no mention of any discrepancy. After waiting a few minutes to see if it would be addressed, I brought it up myself. The waiter appeared flustered and then claimed he had accidentally charged me for someone else's food. That explanation didn't align with the itemized bill I was given, which made the situation feel questionable. He assured me that it would be corrected and that I should see the adjustment in a few days, which I'll be watching closely. Mistakes can happen, but the lack of transparency and the fact that it wasn't proactively disclosed is what left a bad impression. Being overcharged without explanation -- and having to catch it myself -- is not something I expect when dining out. I'd consider coming back for the food, but I'd definitely be more cautious when it comes to the bill.

    Tried this lovely Japanese-Italian fusion spot in the Bay Area for the first time. We tried their…read moremochi pizza-Mentaiko Mayo Mochi Cheese Pizza. I love mochi, so I was really curious how it would work on a pizza. It actually worked surprisingly well. The chewy mochi added a unique layer of texture to the crispy crust and paired nicely with the other toppings. We also had a variety of pastas, both seafood and meat. The portions-especially the seafood and pork cutlet-were generous, and I really enjoyed the subtle sweetness in the meat sauce. The blueberry yogurt drink was beautifully presented. The little heart-shaped container held syrup that you can pour over the ice to turn it into flavored shaved ice, which was a fun touch. The matcha parfait was also tasty and a great way to end the meal.

    Great good and great service. The server offered the children jelly while waiting for the food, I…read morepersonally think that is such a kind act that excited the kids and looking forward for the meals. The servers are very attentive and the wait time for the food is barely 10 minutes. Very efficient. The meals are great, the baguettes came with refilled. The whipped butter is light and creamy. I kept wonder if a drizzle of honey could amplified the taste. Pizza and pasta are obviously very taste and chewy. The restaurant is very nice and cozy as well, a mixtures of Japanese and Italian cuisines. It's a cutesy and vibrant, perfect for date. Overall, I think it's a wonderful experience and meals. Very unique concept!

    I was downtown and wanted to grab a casual dinner somewhere that I hadn't been before and luckily…read moreYelp showed me Nomikai and their five spice duck pizza. I was sold as soon as I saw it. They had happy hour going on until 9pm(!!!) crazy, I know. The happy hour menu featured a few cocktails, beer, and mocktails for $9, and starters for 20% off. They were also able to substitute the liquors in the happy hour drinks for something else, which was huge for me since I'm not a fan of too many liquors. We of course got the duck pizza, which was super flavorful, and also got an order of the spam musubi. Both were really good and I'd order either again. We were helped by Ashley, who was so great and friendly. She seemed to be the host and server and did a great job balancing everyone and thing.

    The dude and I came to Nomikai on 08/16/25 as we were in town for Galaxy Con. We entered in with…read moreour costumes. I was the black sailor moon. And he showed up as the Dude-Vader. Originally we had opted to go to a vegetarian restaurant but they stopped selling food at a certain time and we were hungry. We kept walking and stumbled upon Nomikai. We entered around 9pm and was seated immediately. The food closed soon and we got our order in during happy hour. We were impressed. The service was absolutely amazing and staff / patrons enjoyed our fit. The cocktails are beautifully crafted. Delicious yummy! As a cocktail enthusiast I had no complaints just keep them coming! The dude enjoyed his cocktail as well. We didn't drive so we overindulge because we can! At a certain point this establishment turns into a club more than restaurant and the line was out the door by 11pm. We did try the Brussel sprouts which was delicious and wished we would have tried more food but we were stuffed. They had great music, loved the decor and glad we stumbled upon this place! Can't wait to come back!
