    Bibimbap Burrito
    Hannah M.

    Popped in here to grab lunch while running an errand out of time. I got the bibimbap burrito and it was really good! They put the perfect amount of the spicy sauce in the burrito to not be overwhelming but included an extra little cup on the side if you want to spice it up! Service was also great. The guy who took my order was ridiculously polite and they had my food out in 5 or so minutes. This place is tucked away in a business park area, but don't sleep on it! I come to the area semi regularly to visit a pottery store around the corner so I'll definitely be back!

    Bulgogi sandwhich

    Omg in town for short work trip, this is the best sandwhich ive had in years! I had the bulgogi sandwhich and if you are in the area and dont try this, you do yourself a huge injustice. Wonderful fella behind counter made the perfect sandwhich!

    Bibim Wrap
    Tom K.

    Wow!! Simple, good food!! Had the Bibim Wrap. So much flavor in that wrap!! The service was phenomenal as well. I love small, simple places, so this place foots the bill. It's in a light industrial and office park, so parking was not easy, but a bit of a walk is good! I will be back.

    Bulgogi sandwich

    So glad I found this place. I ordered the bulgogi sandwich, one of the best sandwiches I've had in a while. The man running the shop was an absolute baller and so kind

    Chicken Teriyaki

    So so good! Best chicken teriyaki in San Jose. Perfect portions and reasonable pricing. You can tell the ingredients are fresh and good quality. Great customer service as well.

    Bulgogi sandwich

    This place is so good. If you work in the North San Jose/Santa Clara/Milpitas tech circle, you've gotta stop by on your lunch break. I ordered online for pick up (they close at 1:30, so be sure to go before then) and I just grabbed it off the counter when I got there. Cute little shop located around autobody and small warehouse stores, you might miss it. But you shouldn't. Parking gets a little tough, but I just pulled my car in front real quick and hopped out. Onto the food. I got the bulgogi sandwich because some other Yelper had a very appetizing photo...and I did not regret it. Seriously, it smelled so good that I had to whip the sandwich out at the stoplight on Montague Expressway to catch a glimpse. Perfectly tender, salty, sweet bulgogi with the nice sour and spicy jalapeño- it couldn't be beat. I couldn't even wait to get back to my desk at work to eat it, I finished it in my company parking lot. Everything in San Jose is expensive now and this isn't the exception, but this is definitely going on my lunch time rotation- sorry Mendocino Farms.

    Best time is lunch time. ~ My friend and I shared a Bulgogi sandwich ($15) and it was so filling! The sandwich is simple, good, and HUGE! It was bigger than my hand. The bread is thin & there's a good balance of meat, cheese, and lettuce in the sandwich. The meat is flavorful and not too overly sweet. Tip: If you're unable to eat it right away, highly recommend putting it back in the oven or airfryer! It tastes so much better and gets that crispiness back :)

    #51 on Yelp's 2022 Top 100 places to eat in the Bay Area list. Unfortunately, I didn't have the same experience that many other Yelpers have, and could have gone on an off day. It also could have been because I went towards the end of the week, at the end of the lunch rush- It's Lunch Time is only open on the weekdays from 10:30am-2:30pm. I stopped by around 2pm on a Friday, and called in my order ahead of time (they estimated 10 minutes for my order to be ready). It's Lunch Time is a small shop located in a semi-industrial area. Make sure you follow your GPS so you don't miss it! They have a small menu, but they had a lot of chips and drink options to go along with your meal. It wasn't busy when It wasn't busy when I picked up my order, and I tried their Bulgogi Sandwich (Onion, Cheese, Lettuce, Jalapeno, $14.99, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=6suH8C-eIGTp08F7ow9QnA&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg). I liked the flavor of their bulgogi, but it was a little too salty overall and slightly dry. I also didn't like the bread they used (an Italian roll?), since it added to the overall dryness of the sandwich. The ingredients were fresh though, and I would consider coming back if in the area for lunch. Their staff was really friendly, and they had hand sanitizer at the counter. Only indoor seating options were available. Parking was easy to find at the time since there were a few spots available in their shared lot.

    Wonderful staff and customer service, great food and generous portions! I found this place because it was on the Yelp's Top 100 Places to Eat in the Bay Area list and they had great reviews and the food looked yummy so I decided to give them a try. They are located in an industrial area and could be easy to miss. Upon walking inside I was immediately greeted by one of the owners and he was so nice and friendly. He asked me had I been there before and explained the menu to me. I asked for some of his recommendations and he also told me what the popular items were. I really appreciated this! The menu is not too big but you do have options and there's plenty of variety. They offer sandwiches, Bibimbap, teriyaki plates and wraps. I decided to go with the Bibimbap which came with Bulgogi, rice, veggies and a hot chili sauce. The portion was huge!! They definitely do not skimp on the portion size or the meat as it as loaded with Bulgogi. The meat was so tender and flavorful, the rice was cooked perfectly, the veggies were sliced thin and very fresh. While I'm not a lover of spicy things, the hot chili sauce was definitely a nice addition and took the flavor over the top. I enjoyed the food and my entire experience here. Please support this 2 person local restaurant that's serving amazing food cooked to order! I highly recommend and will be back!

Well I didn't get the side that came with my order. So the chicken shawarma Arabic style wrap. Well.. chicken flavor wasn't too bad to be fair, but the pickles seemed old, and the wrap in general looked a bit sad and lacked some more flavors. Lastly, I think this place is about 20% over priced. Let's put it this way, if you are hungry, it will do the trick.. it's not the worst, but definitely far from the best.

I'm extremely detail-oriented and had a ton of questions, but Josh was so patient, never once did I feel rushed. I also took forever choosing the tint shade, and Josh took the time showing me different examples. I even wanted to know how they wash the cars prior to PPF and tint application. I can tell you, they do everything the right way. Once they started, they kept me in the loop with frequent updates and photos. After a lot of research, I found that STEK is the top PPF, and that's exactly what they use. They also gave me recommendations on some of the other products they use to keep my paint pristine. Most importantly, the work is amazing, crystal clear, can't tell the PPF is on the car and windows tint is perfect. It has been just a few weeks, so I hope it holds up well since this is my first ever PPF, but Josh assured me the job and the film is guaranteed for 10 years, which gives me a lot of peace of mind.

We recommend you add as many of the following to your pita as you can: Babaganoush Hummus Tahini sauce the spicy sauce Seasoned waffle fries can help stretch the meal. We wouldn't get again: -Achilles sauce: it just tastes like yogurt mixed with garlic. -The falafel plate. It doesn't come with pita, so I ordered pitas and extra falafel so we could make up our own sandwiches the next day. But the plate isn't as generous as I was expecting, given it costs more than the sandwich (yet doesn't include pita). We received a spoonful of babaganoush, maybe 1/4 cup of Achilles sauce and hummus, four falafel, mixed lettuce and some of the pickles, chopped tomato & cucumber, plus turmeric rice. I didn't see any sign of the coleslaw or amba sauce that were supposed to be included, and overall it's just somewhat underwhelming. Next time I want to make up my own sandwiches I will get individual containers of my favorite sauces instead of the plate.

    Before my Porsche Panamera even arrived, I spent weeks researching paint protection film (PPF),…read moreceramic coating, and detailing shops throughout the Bay Area. As someone who had waited months for a custom-ordered Porsche, I knew I wanted to protect the car from day one and wasn't willing to trust it to just anyone. I researched, visited, or spoke with nearly ten different shops before making my decision. Some were significantly cheaper. Some promised much faster turnaround times. Many claimed they could deliver the same result. Between the PPF, ceramic coating, window tint, windshield protection film, interior protection, and other treatments, my project represented an investment of nearly $20,000. At that level, I wasn't looking for the cheapest option--I was looking for the highest level of craftsmanship. One thing that stood out during my research was that many Bay Area shops quoted anywhere from 20% to 50% less than Supreme Detailworks. At first glance, that gets your attention. However, many of those same shops also quoted completion times that were only one-third or even one-quarter of the time James estimated for essentially the same scope of work. That immediately raised a red flag for me. When someone claims they can do the same work for far less money and in a fraction of the time, I start asking questions. The more I learned about Supreme Detailworks' process--paint preparation, component removal, edge wrapping, tucked installations, and quality control--the more I understood where that extra time was going. It wasn't inefficiency. It was attention to detail. I also compared Supreme Detailworks against one of the highly respected PPF shops in the Chicago area that is nationally known for premium installations. To my surprise, James' pricing was very similar. And even if I had chosen the Chicago shop, shipping the car there and back would have added roughly another $5,000 in transportation costs alone, not to mention additional time and logistics. Having that level of craftsmanship available right here in the Bay Area made the decision much easier. For my Panamera, James and his team installed PPF, ceramic coating, window tint, front windshield protection film, protection for the headlights and glass roof, interior PPF for the gloss black trim, and matte protection for all touchscreen surfaces, including the digital instrument cluster. The result is so seamless that several of my friends couldn't even tell my Panamera had PPF installed. In fact, I had to physically show them where to look and where to touch before they realized the vehicle was protected. That's how clean and invisible the installation is. What impressed me most was that James never tried to upsell me. Instead, he took the time to explain the different options and recommend what made the most sense for how I planned to use the car. One thing many people don't realize is that the true quality of a PPF installation is found in the details--the edges, seams, corners, and difficult areas where shortcuts are often taken. James and his team don't take shortcuts. They carefully remove and disassemble components when necessary to ensure the film is properly wrapped and hidden wherever possible. After investing nearly $20,000 in protection, the last thing I wanted was visible seams, lifted edges, or obvious installation lines. Supreme Detailworks delivered exactly what I was hoping for: a fully protected vehicle that still looks completely factory original. Another thing prospective customers should know is that Supreme Detailworks is almost always busy. There is usually a waiting list, and scheduling requires patience. If you're looking for the fastest shop in town, this may not be the place for you. If you're looking for the cheapest shop in town, this definitely isn't the place for you. But if you're looking for a team that refuses to rush the process and treats your vehicle as if it were their own, the wait is absolutely worth it. During my visits, I regularly saw Ferraris, Lamborghinis, McLarens, Maseratis, Porsches, Mercedes-Benz, BMWs, Audis, Land Rovers, Lexus vehicles, Teslas, and many other enthusiast cars in the shop. Seeing that lineup gave me additional confidence that I had chosen the right place. After seeing the finished result on my Porsche, I can honestly say my expectations were exceeded. And if you're looking for craftsmanship, attention to detail, and a team that treats your vehicle as if it were their own, Supreme Detailworks is hard to beat. Thank you, James and the entire Supreme Detailworks team, for treating my Panamera as if it were your own.

They are also extremely solution oriented, we had some issues with our file formatting and as a bride it is always a hesitancy when receiving any sort of bad news, Kevin and his team walked me through and kept me posted on how they were solving things from their end and ultimately made everything happen even better than I imagined. Everything is such good quality and I've received many compliments specifically about my prints :) Another huge bonus point was that they are incredibly timely. Things were done before the deadline which was so comforting! They are incredibly trustworthy and kind. Overall, it was a delight working with Kevin, and his team Max and JR I would recommend SignPro in Dublin and Best Print Graphics in Santa Clara for any printing needs you may have. It's essential to have a high value and high quality experience as a bride and I would say they exceeded my expectations. If you want a stress free printing experience I would highly recommend!

    First tried this place in 2020 and recently had it again. Although it's been six years, the food is…read morestill delicious and the kalbi jjim is sooooo tender and flavorful. Even the rice cakes were good too. The main thing you should get is the kalbi jjim. If you're indecisive about the cheese, GET IT! My friend had the kalbi jjim without cheese once and regretted it. He said it's more tasty with the cheese on it. Other than the meat, I'm not sure if I would come here for soup. The clear soups I've gotten here are so-so. They lack in flavor and taste very bland-- wasn't worth the money. I highly recommend coming here with a party of three or more. The kalbi jjim and clear soup was enough for my party of five, and we also got purple rice and banchan. We came here on a Monday evening and was able to dine right away at 6:30pm. This place gets busy and we had to leave right after paying because other parties were waiting.

    Came here on a Saturday evening at around 5:30 and it was starting to get busy. Our table of 4 was…read moreseated after maybe a 10 minute wait but during that time, we had already ordered so we didn't have to wait long after being seated for the food to come out. The mild galibijjim was delicious with the cheese on top. The sauce was perfectly salty for pouring over rice, though it wasn't spicy at all (so will probably get the medium next time). The meat was tender and juicy and there was so much of it as well. The base dish came with rice cakes but I should have ordered extra as most of it was gone half way through the meal. The Mul Naengmyeon was cold and refreshing, especially after eating the galbijjim. The restaurant itself is pretty small so the waiters do try to rush you along in order to turn over the tables, but they also worked very hard to make sure your meal was satisfying. They also packed away the left overs in a heat sealed container so it wouldn't spill in the car and keeps for a while in your fridge. Overall a very pleasant experience if you come early enough and don't have to wait in line.
