Horrible place, staff rude as hell, parking lot dirty, idk how this is sanitary, I could use my backyard and would be cleaner than this. They installed a new gate and tried to be sneaky and charge everyone for it. Left a year ago and people coming from here say nothing has changed. read more

Me and my partners with a dream we're looking to start a food business in 2015. We originally wanted to purchase a restaurant in San Mateo, however; that venture didn't pan out the way we wanted. After that we decided to get a mobile food truck. Long story short, we ended up with a truck that was 27 ft long from Portland, Oregon. After having some many issues with other commissary's, Gooch and his team at SJ kitchen rental were the only ones that would give us a chance to begin our dream. His pricing for electricity, water, cleaning and waste removal was very fair. If there were any issues with our lot and space, the team at Sj Kitchen rental would always take care of us. We appreciate everything they have done for us. Fast forward a few years and now we own a restaurant called Smoked Out BBQ and we will never forget where we came from and who gave us the chance to make it. Thanks Gooch and Nora. 5 star review easily and keep up the good work. From: James Co-owner of Smoked Out BBQ read more

Gooch and his team really care for their clients. I can say whatever success we have today with our food truck is because of Gooch and his help every step from parking the food truck to renting the kitchen space. I would definitely recommend anyone this commissary for food truck as well as catering business. read more

After looking around at the various commercial kitchens in the area, my partner and I decided to go with iKitchens and here's the reason why. Ever since our initial contact with them we have had a more than a great experience. We sent our first inquiry to the biz through online and the next day we received a call from Aline offering us to come in for a tour and to discuss any questions we might have. We jumped on this opportunity right away because we were pretty impressed by the great customer service. When we arrived Aline and Martha were so incredibly helpful. They welcomed us and showed us around the facility. The facility has all equipment we needed and they were happy to accompany any additional things we needed. The scheduling process is extremely convenient compared to other kitchens in the area. Overall we have had a more than great experience here at iKitchens. The enrollment process is also very simple and straight forward. Would HIGHLY recommend ikitchens for small business owners. Thank you Ikitchens for providing your facility. read more

If you ever think about renting from San Jose Kitchen Rental, read my review so you can make an informed decision. I usually do not like to give bad reviews, but I feel it's almost wrong not to let others know what I went through. I'm not saying that people should not rent from this place, but I just want to share my experience so people can learn from my mistakes and make an informed decision before moving forward. I was thinking about owning a bakery, but I'm completely new to it so I thought I'd try it out by renting a kitchen first so I wouldn't have to invest in all this money to open a retail bakery shop at first. I've never had a bakery business, not even from home, but I wanted to make sure that I had the correct licenses and permits to run a legitimate bakery so I decided to move forward with the commercial kitchen. When my husband and I went to go check out the place, Annette (the owner) was 40 minutes late for our appointment. While we were waiting, some other people who had scheduled time at the kitchen were really angry because someone else took their time slot. I should have saw that as a sign, but I didn't! Anyways, I signed up and paid $775 ($500 for 1 year membership fee and $275 for the monthly minimum for 10 hours). In the contract, I was also supposed to get dry and cold storage space. For my health inspection, I needed to show I had dry storage. Well, even though Annette promised me TWICE that she would give that to me, she didn't. So, I didn't have it for my inspection. Fortunately, the health inspector let it go because I told her that Annette was going to give that to me soon, (which she didn't btw until 3 months later.) The way that you need to schedule time at the kitchen is on a community white board. You can't do it online! You can't see the schedule unless you are actually there. You may call or ask Annette, but it's difficult because you can't actually see the schedule. So, I had an event I had to bake for and I tried to schedule the time. I contacted Annette several times and she took a couple days to get back to me and then finally told me the kitchens were unavailable. Great, so I had to bake at home which took me forever. Then, I had hired someone to come train me, who was from out of town, and I was unable to get the times I would like. So again, I baked/trained at home. Pretty much, it was really hard to book times. I never hit the 10 hours each month because I was always unable to get the times I wanted. Well, after just three months, I decided that I did not want to pursue the bakery business and am doing another business. I THOUGHT that I just wouldn't get my $500 fee back but could cancel my membership. So, I told Annette that I would stop using the kitchen and cancel my membership. She immediately shot an email back to me and told me that I owed 3X the amount of the minimum rent due or $5000 if I broke my contract. I'm not really sure how that makes ANY sense because the minimum monthly rent is $275 so times that by 12 months would be $3,300. HOW COULD CANCELING THE MEMBERSHIP BE MORE THAN THE ACTUAL MONTHLY RENT FOR THE YEAR?!?!?!? That doesn't make any damn sense. But anyways, I was really surprised at how fast she responded to me when it came to money, but took forever when it was about getting me my dry storage and renting time. She says that the membership meant that I had to pay the monthly dues no matter what, whether I used it or not. Well, that is really not how I understood the contract. With that said, just because she was always extremely unprofessional, doesn't mean that I am going to be. So, to honor the contract that I signed, I wrote her a lump sum check for the rest of the year even though I am not using it. In addition to this, I wanted to give my hours to someone else who was renting from her and she said I could not let anyone else use my hours. I'm not sure why that would matter either since I am paying for those hours. Anyways, so there you have it. If you want to rent time here, know that you might face some of the obstacles that I did. Don't make the same mistakes that I did. Make sure that if you rent time here, that you really do get the storage that was promised to you, that you will use at least 10 hours and make sure to look at the calendar to see which times are usually full, and that you will be using it for at least a whole year. Make sure you look at the contracts you are signing carefully regardless if it is at this kitchen or not! read more

I use the kitchen for catering and events. The last 2 months its been way more clean than before. The other businesses are all friendly, its a nice atmosphere. They added a lot of stuff recently, all kinds of sanitary cleaners and handwash stuff. Its the small things! Feels more safe too, they fixed the lights and the gate." Keep it up guys read more

Decided to go with my wife to her 10:00am Sunday Appt to look at renting kitchen space. Got there at 9:30am to drive around and look at the surroundings. In primarily run down commercial area with nicer homes about 3 blocks away. Front of building is unkept with the owners cake business / office in the front. At 10:00am, no owner, no phone call that she would be late. At 10:15am a couple pulled up for cake tasting. Hmm, you book a appointment to review and talk about a kitchen (typically a full meeting will be at least 30 minutes) and you book a cake tasting at 10:15am? Looks like the owner obviously does not have her act together and based on looking at her cake business yelp reviews other people have had problems. We felt sorry for the couple and left at 10:25am since she never showed up. Don't know if we would buy a cake from her with all the dead flys in the front window. Took a photo hoping to post with this review but no go. Avoid this place at all cost. read more

I wasnt so sure about this place when i first rolled up. Its an a super industrial area of san jose, i would never have expected it to look the way it does on the inside! I looked at all the kitchens in the area, and i was torn between the new one in Fremont and here. Friendly people at both places, both are relatively convenient to get to. I went with SJKR because it was a bigger facility, more availability, and cheaper cost. The Fremont kitchen looks brand new (i think it actually is), but i'm not sure if it is worth it for a newer business like mine to make a business decision based on looks, especially if it keeps my overhead low!. SJKR isn't NEW by any means, but everything works and everything is clean, so i cant complain. Its been a month and so far, so good! Keep it up, guys! read more

Wanted to give a big thumbs up to Gooch and the team at SJ Kitchen. They have helped my small business tremendously and we would not be able to operate without this wonderful place. It's such a great learning environment for new food related businesses who wants to start their own thing. They are doing a really great job updating everything and they give us such great customer service. Would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a commercial kitchen. read more

I used their kitchen last year for a few months before moving into my own place. I liked working with Annette. She is very flexible and professional. All other chef's who use the place are also friendly and courteous. It did get a bit difficult sometimes to find an available kitchen for lunch but Annette always worked with me to get me in so I never lost any business. Overall, it's a great place at decent prices. read more
