The sizzling rice place is actually enough for 2, with generous portions and generous of thin-slices of tender American style Wagyu. Both were delicious for a quick lunch, at very reasonable prices. Once cooked, its like a premium beef fried rice! Its located adjacent to Sprouts on Branham Lane, just 1/2 mile from home. I have often gone to Sprouts, but never noticed Sizzling Lunch since 2019 until google searched. Upon I drove there, I rounded the corner to the Almaden Expressway side, before my rider said "you past it!". My only recommendation is to have a much LARGER SIGN in front!

I've been to another Sizzling Lunch at another location in San Jose and thought this one was…read moremediocre compared to the other one, but it was still satisfying. You order through a QR code at the table and the food comes out fairly quickly on a hot, sizzling plate so make sure not to touch it. The meat is raw and gets cooked from the sizzling plate. Because the meat is thinly sliced, it gets cooked fairly quickly as you stir all the ingredients together. There's two different types of sauces that you can add for flavor, one of which is teriyaki sauce. I feel like the teriyaki sauce has more flavor and you don't need too much of it. The other sauce seemed too bland for me because I felt like I kept adding more but it still tasted bland. I also ordered the tofu since I love tofu and it was nice and soft and the sauce that came with it was delicious. When you're ready to check out, you unfortunately can't pay using the QR code and you have to ask one of the waiters to ring you up. I felt this was silly considering you order through the QR code, so you should also be able to pay using your phone for efficiency if you want to get in and get out. This is located in a plaza with plenty of parking and the restaurant is right next to a cantina/bar that was playing very loud music on a Friday night so beware of that.

I paid $100 in cash and I received $5.63 back. I checked the receipt as I was walking out. The receipt showed change back of $7.63. I was shorted $2. I went right back inside and presented my receipt and the change back. The employee apologized and gave me back $2. I should mention that they were not super busy at all. 2 star is for not trusting the check out process. I will go back there again for shopping with full attention to scanning and checking the receipt. The management needs to work on gaining the public trust back. I reversed the review to 5stars for timely response from the business.

If you need basic food, there you go. They have a small selection of still bottled water, so I usually end up buying alkaline water even though I know it's BS.

Drinking kombucha makes me feel healthy, even though it's got plenty of sugar. Parking is very easy thanks to the giant lot, and if you want some Chinese or Thai food, or pizza, or coffee, the shopping center has those bases covered too.

I knew that. And it's my job to tell her. Just plain presumptuous. Management seems to spend too much time apologizing to bad Yelp reviews instead of training their staff. I would be happier if they didn't apologize for this review and spend the time on their staff. They can start by reading the Yelp reviews and eliminating the offensive behaviors. There is plenty of material.

We ordered several appetizers, pastas for our mains, and finished with dessert. Every single dish was satisfying, from start to finish.

It's really tucked in the neighborhood. Its a casual spot and family run. There was a good amount of people eating on a Friday night. Do prepare to wait a little for your food to come out, good things take time. I can tell you it was worth the wait. We got the sports combo plate with beef and goat, both were delicious. SOO MUCH FLAVOR in the meat and vegetables stir fry. the chapati pairing to it was nice. The green sauce is spicy and has a kick at the end but add to the dish very well. If you like deep spice flavors, you will definitely like Jubba!

She's so kind and loving and has gone above and beyond to help us create the wedding of our dreams.

We looove food and were a little unsure if anyone was going to live up to our standards but they have completely and utterly surpassed them.

Eataly offered a $75 value bag of goodies, for $25. My friend takes advantage of these bags quite often. You get good bang-for-your- buck with these bags. You never know what you're going to get. Today my friend's bag contained focaccia bread, two huge sandwiches, broccoli, Occhio di Bue cocoa & apricot cookies, Finocchiona IGP Piacenti (salami), a bottle of chocolate milk, Shrimp Risotto, and probably a few other goodies hidden in the bag. At the top floor entrance from the parking lot, there is a dedicated employee who confirms your reservation and payment, and walks to the refrigerated cold storage holder, and grabs a bag. You don't get a choice of bag. You get whatever is handed to you. It's fun!

I made my way into 3 separate stores located in the mall and left empty handed each and every time. In comes Lolli and Pops.... Macarons and fancy chocolates are sitting in a glass case as you enter into the store. My toddler immediately requested for a macaron in which I obliged if she could promise to be patient as I did some browsing and shopping. Pick your battles folks, pick your battles. Lmao! This establishment specializes in all things sweet and delicious! The assortment of bulk sweets are plentiful and you are able to purchase as little or as much as you wish. Customize your treats how you see fit- whether your love involves chocolates, gummies, sour, sweet, jelly-filled, or even spicy- this is the spot for you. I appreciate Lolli and Pop having items you normally couldn't find at any random store. My word of advice: take your time to browse the countless items and don't be shy about asking for a sample. 5 solid stars for the young lady whom I recall was a supervisor or assistant mgr running the shift during my evening visit on 2/8. Thank you for answering my questions, being patient, and being such a positive vibe as a whole. 4 stars overall because there were a few questionable bins containing candies that should immediate go into the trash. These candies were clearly crusty, discolored, and abnormally hard. Other than that, my kid greatly enjoyed her macaron and the special recipient was WOW'D by her gift. Mission accomplished!
