    dry mix - no good
    Clarisse T.

    hmmm more like 3.5 stars. spicy broth was good but the dry mix was not. i literally didn't taste much for the dry mix and flavor wasn't good. ingredient comparison with other MLT are on par EXCEPT the meat - they def seemed lower grade. service was attentive for the .5 star. will come back for try again tho, hopefully they changed the meat.

    2.4/5 Food. - low quality ingredients - lamb was exceptionally gamey - very fatty beef and no lean beef available - very fibrous old vegetables - soup was actually just bad - overcooked vegetables and noodles I was starving too and I couldnt finish my bowl. I grabbed my usual spread at a mala tang place so no variance there. Their system clearly needs improvements.

    Mild beef bone broth
    Kit W.

    Really liked the broth here. This is the mild beef bone. It was very good without being too heavy and fatty. Good selection of veggies and noodles, great fish balls but only two meats (beef and lamb). Would have liked some pork. $14.99/lbs - same as most of the places.

    We went around 5 PM on a Sunday, right when they opened, and the place was almost empty. The shop is newly renovated -- clean and spacious overall. It's priced by weight, at $14.99 per pound . The ingredient section is an open refrigerated counter, and the selection is pretty complete -- common vegetables, tofu products, wide noodles, meatballs, and various meats. We chose two soup bases: the non-spicy pork bone broth and tomato soup . The pork bone broth had a subtle peanut butter aroma, light and flavorful, and totally drinkable without feeling greasy. The tomato soup was nicely balanced between sweet and sour -- our kid loved it and drank quite a bit. The sauce bar is self-serve and has plenty of options . I especially liked the green Sichuan pepper oil (藤椒油) -- it adds just the right aroma when paired with the lighter broth. If you enjoy a bit of numbing spice , try adding just a little -- it goes a long way. We weren't too hungry this time -- one adult had about a pound of food, which felt just right. Not too much, no waste. Overall, the soup bases here lean on the lighter side, which is great for when you want something warm and satisfying without feeling heavy. Next time, I'm planning to try their spicy broth options to see if they're just as good.

    Beef Bone Broth

    Walking in, we were greeted warmly and directed to pick our hotpot ingredients. I love that they have the bowl sanitizer in the front so you know their equipment is cleaned. You also get your own individual tongs to pick your items with. Selection is pretty good - veggies, noodles, tofu, meats, etc. FYI, though, the veggies are located next to the raw meat, so there is potential for cross contamination. The beef bone broth was very tasty - my friends got the spicy beef bone broth at medium level and the sour spicy beef broth. The bowls were big enough to have leftover for later.

    New Malatang spot! The price here is standard at $15 per pound and I really like how many options they have at the sauce bar. The meat selection is more limited compared to other Malatang places as they just have beef and lamb. I also usually get a side of rice instead of noodles with my soup, but they don't offer rice here. I really liked the broths I tried, as they had some unique flavors that stood out from other Malatang places. They also gave us complimentary dessert which was very tasty!

    My first time trying malatang! Upon entering, there is a sauce station to diy your own sauce in front and then sanitized bowls and tongs on the right inside the cabinet. There was a lot of options to choose from - meat, noodles, veggies, seafood, tofu, eggs, even you tiao (油條 - fried chinese breadstick). They measure by weight at $14.99/lb. I got the beef bone broth and my friend got spicy beef bone, it was yummy! Decor is also super cute inside.

    Does the price per pound include the weight of the broth? Thanks.

    no it doesn't. Just the weight of the ingredients.

I don't remember much about the place so I got no positive or negative experiences I can compare to this visit. I have been to many similar buffets all over Northern California so my expectations are not too high here. My first attack was the sushi bar. Very good sushi selection for lunch. Comparable Tomi and World Gourmet Buffet in Fremont. No complaints. Made my way to the hot foods. Some familiar and some different items. First time seeing curry beef. The stir fry rice noodle they had was bland so I put the curry over it. It was good, I got a second helping. They had a pork ribs soup with either wintermelon or radish, couldn't tell what it was but it gave the soup some sweetness to it. If you're Asian you might have had it at home. It is light and soothing. Different than the usual hot and sour soup which they had but I skipped. Those were the two items I wanted to talk about in my review as no other Asian buffet had these. There are other typical items, aren't much different from other places so I'll keep this short. Must finish your meal with soft serve ice cream! It's comparable to McDonald's just doesn't have the strong vanilla flavor McDonald's has. I got a second cone for the road. I will come back one more time with my dad as he loves buffet like I do.

I've eaten here multiple times and honestly can't remember having a single dish I didn't enjoy. One of my favorite things about the buffet is getting to try a little bit of everything, especially dishes I probably wouldn't think to order on my own. I've discovered quite a few new favorites that way. They also bring fresh naan right to the table, which is such a nice touch. Give me warm naan and a plate full of Indian food and I'm a happy girl. The ambiance is probably the one area that could use a little love, but when the food is this flavorful, I really don't care. The pricing is incredibly reasonable, especially considering the quality and variety you get with the buffet. Work travel isn't always glamorous, but having places like this that I genuinely look forward to visiting makes it a whole lot better. This one has absolutely become part of my routine whenever I'm in town.

It was a free for all, where I had picked no favorites. I had no favorites- I stuffed my plate with food in which had names that I had never seen before. The spicy tandoori chicken met with the crunchy okra, washed down with the creamy cottage cheese, along with the fluffy bread (not naan). Oh yeahhhhhh I sat down and the food sat me down. I looked at the food and the food looked back at me. I was ready to pounce, the food was ready to put me in a coma. I dipped the tandoori chicken in the cottage cheese and delivered my first blow. The spiciness then hit me, the sweatiness blindsided me. It was a full body experience, head to toe. It put me on my toes figuratively, but I was sitting physically. I was out of breath, but when I could finally catch my breath again... I got back up and I went for round 2. More tandoori chicken pulled up, but this time with his brothers, buttered chicken and some chicken curry. I was cooked. I wanted to run. I wanted to hide, but house's rules say that I had to finish my entire plate. Fine. Whatever. EZ. Long story short: And so I finished my plate. It wasn't easy, but sometimes you have to do what you have to do. I am still feeling the aftermath as I retell this encounter a day later atop my porcelain throne. 10/10. Would go toe to toe again.

We came on Saturday evening and they had just run out of biryani which made me SO sad but it's a good reason to come back! It's spacious with plenty of seating so would be great for bigger parties too. My bf has a nut allergy so we could only order the andhra chicken curry and the goat curry (which are the same, btw just different meats.) The flavor was truly flavor-ing, and it had just the right amount of kick. I loved the spiciness!! Only note, there were quite a bit of bones in both entrees and I'm taking off a star for this. In the chicken especially, it seemed there were more bones than actual meat which was sad because the chicken was SUPER tasty. Tender and juicy and held the curry just perfect. The naan was also delicious as I prefer a thinner, flakier naan and they delivered! Also you MUST get the mango lassi here, they didn't skimp on the mango and it's the perfect reprieve from the spicy meal Will definitely be back to try their biryanis.

The Japanese restaurant is located in the nice Strawberry plaza off Moorpark Avenue and Saratoga Avenue in San Jose. Mitsuwa Market is located in the same plaza. Parking is accessible in the large parking lot out front. The restaurant has nice cultural modern decor. There are plenty of tables and booths for both large and small groups for dine in. There is a sushi bar to the right when you walk in. The atmosphere is bustling and welcoming. We ordered gyoza, chicken karaage, tako yaki, tempura appetizer, 2 sake nigiri, 2 unagi nigiri. Bbq eel roll, dragon roll, spicy salmon roll, sprite, and a glass of Chardonnay. Everything was delicious and authentic. Some of the standout dishes were the karaage, tempura, unagi nigiri, and the bbq ell roll. The karaage was nice and crispy. The tempura was tasty and went very well with the tempura sauce. The unagi was scrumptious with every bite. The bbq eel roll was appetizing and worth the price. Overall we enjoyed our experience at Tomi Sushi. The staff were nice and accommodating.

There's always a line for this place, sometimes forming right before they open. Located in the Mistuwa plaza, parking can be pretty hit or miss.

Wow, the fish was incredibly fresh and nicely prepared. The fish on top was seared but didn't taste heavily of gas as many other seared fish I have had. Staff was very nice and attentive. I did enjoy being at the bar because you get to see the sushi chefs making your dinner. Very nicely designed interior. My partner's bento was good too. Chicken teriyaki was delicious. Looking forward to my next visit. It might be my favorite restaurant in the plaza.
