The hookah was on point with a yummy strong flavor. My friend and i got the berry splash and dejango combo and loved it. Hookahs were $25 and it lasted 2 hours.

The music and atmosphere definitely set me back to that one Dubai nightclub hookah bar I got to enjoy back in 2021! And Man, was this such a great experience! Shout out to Yosuf ! Yosuf's hospitality and kindness definitely made me feel at home! Great service and attention to detail around comfort and service too! He definitely leads the team and has the best recommendations for first comers! Check in with him since he knows what's always up! ( I believe this gentleman was the manager or in some place responsible as he oversees the cashier!) After checking out few hookah lounges in the bay, I found myself asking this man so many more questions I never thought about getting answered for ! The selection of flavors and drinks definitely stood out to me compared to other spaces. Now, knowing this space closes at 2am for sure! Made it the most desirable to go to after the bars, to settle down and catch some more drinks! Definitely will come again since the music was good enough to dance and the flavors were enough to ask for seconds !

Great vibes, smooth hookah, and a solid lounge experience…read more Vibez Hookah Lounge lives up to its name. The atmosphere is relaxed but lively, with comfortable seating, clean surroundings, and great lighting that sets the mood whether you're chilling with friends or enjoying a DJ night. The layout gives you space to lounge without feeling crowded, and the music adds energy without overpowering conversation. The hookah was smooth, flavorful, and well-prepared--clearly done by people who know what they're doing. Equipment was new/clean, coals were managed properly, and the smoke quality stayed consistent throughout the session. It's the kind of place where you can actually sit back and enjoy your hookah without constantly asking for adjustments. Shout out to Clarione who was happy to answer all my questions as a rookie. DJ nights are a big plus. The music selection keeps the vibe going and brings the lounge to life, making it a great late-night spot. Add in games, food (bought to you by The Pull Up Host), and a friendly crowd, and it turns into a full experience rather than just a hookah stop. Overall, Vibez Hookah Lounge is a solid spot for good hookah, good music, and good energy. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for a laid-back but upbeat lounge in San Jose.

A disappointing second visit after an amazing first experience…read more Our experience at Meyhouse has been mixed, which is especially disappointing given how much we loved it the first time. We first visited about 1.5-2 years ago for dinner, and it was easily a 5/5 experience. The food, drinks, and dessert were all fantastic. We enjoyed it so much that we were excited to return. Unfortunately, our second visit in October 2026 was a completely different experience. We opted for the prix fixe menu and selected a seafood appetizer and yogurt dip. We were then informed that the seafood appetizer was unavailable, and our server offered hummus as a substitute. Unfortunately, it was one of the worst hummus dishes we've tasted. It had an unpleasant burnt, bitter flavor, with what appeared to be caramelized butter practically floating on top. We sent it back, and our server offered to replace it with a salad. That salad never arrived. The main courses took an exceptionally long time to arrive. At that point, we were just sitting there waiting for food, having had only one appetizer between the two of us. The chicken was decent, but the vegetable entrée was well below average. When it came to dessert, our server asked if we'd like it prepared, mentioning it would take about 10 minutes. We said yes, but it took over 20 minutes to arrive. To be fair, the dessert--semolina with ice cream--was delicious and one of the few highlights of the evening. Service was equally disappointing. At one point, our server accidentally spilled water while refilling a glass and assured us he'd have it cleaned up right away. That never happened. There was a consistent pattern of promising to take care of things and simply not following through. To top it all off, when the check arrived, we noticed an additional $4 charge for the hummus--the very dish that had been offered as a replacement for an unavailable appetizer and that we had sent back because it tasted terrible. What bothered us most wasn't just the food or the delays, but the overall lack of attentiveness and accountability. The service felt indifferent, almost as though our experience didn't matter. It's disappointing to see such a dramatic difference between two visits to the same restaurant. We know Meyhouse is capable of delivering an excellent dining experience because we've experienced it firsthand. Unfortunately, this visit fell far short of that standard. First visit: 5/5. Second visit: 2/5. I genuinely hope this was an off day, but it has certainly made us hesitant to return.

The food & service at Dish Dash are exceptional. Food is…read morevery fresh and flavors well blended. It's expensive but worth it. Service is the best - they anticipate needs before asked. Atmosphere depends on where you sit; outside is lovely, inside can feel dark and cramped and loud. But they have to try to fit all the people who want to eat there. This is a place I can always count on, we will be back.

This was my first time ever at this particular edition of Dish & Dash. Hee. I've been to the one…read morein Fremont and set up more as a fast food restaurant with nice tables, but very in and out style. Since this was for Father's Day, I was rather surprised my dad wanted to eat here considering I was used to the Fremont style of "dish and Dash." I was rather shocked to see actual groups and larger tables with my seating arrangement and even nice relaxing, looking comfortable chairs along with a number of decor that looked pretty authentic to keep up with the theme of the cultural food. Everyone in my family eat across the menu vegan, Vegetarian and meat eaters! Lol I'm somewhat in between and I got a chicken Shawarma and it was perfectly made. My brother got the Vegetarian delight and that looked better than my chicken Shawarma wrap because there was so many different flavors on his plate!! Granted, when he got his plate, it took the server a good 20 minutes extra until the pita bread was ready. Lol. My boyfriend got some lamb shish kebab dish that looked really interesting. There were different flavors and textures and he really enjoyed the dish itself. I did not partake. My dad and sister got some meat soup like dish that had lamb in it and they both loved their dish and said it had a lot of flavor and such a small size portion! They both took home leftovers! We were utterly stuffed and nobody had any room for dessert, but we will definitely be back again since this particular "Dish and Dash" can feed everything from Vegetarian to meat eaters! So a giant happy blended family! Hee

We ordered the pork belly, soy garlic boneless chicken, kimchi fried rice, and rabokki. Everything was delicious and hit the spot! The only small thing to note is that the chicken can get a little soggy from the sauce if you don't eat it quickly, so I'd recommend enjoying it while it's fresh. The restaurant itself is cozy and a nice spot to grab some food late at night. The only downside is the parking, which can be a bit of a hassle. Other than that, we enjoyed everything and would definitely consider stopping by again for a late-night bite!

Some standouts include the soy and garlic fried chicken which was so delicious, juicy, and crispy, the kimchi and pork fried rice, and the cheese corn. Portion sizes are super generous.
