After expressing my interest in trying to find good Vietnamese seafood, specifically sea snails, to my friend - she recommended we try this place. We both were hesitant since there were only a small amount of reviews, the place had just opened up three months ago, and there was a banner saying it was "under new management." Nonetheless, I said that we should give it a try and I do not regret it. It seems like this restaurant is a one stop shop ran by the sweetest, most attentive lady! I ordered hot water and as soon as it got cold she refilled it almost immediately and asked if I also wanted to add lemon slices in it. Although we were the only ones in the restaurant for a bit, the service was extremely fast especially if she was the only one there. My friend and I ended up getting the coconut snails, cheese baked oysters, and the giant scallop clams to start. While it didn't seem like much, we definitely came out of the restaurant happy and full. The price point wasn't bad either as I know other spots I've seen in the bay area up charge for exotic food like this. The coconut snails were my favorite. It came out hot with savory notes while pops of sweet Coconut and most importantly fresh. I feel like its hard to perfect these types of delicacies since most places uses frozen bought ones. The cheese baked oysters were also amazing and a must try! The oyster was not dried out by the cheese and the sauce that was incorporated made the oyster so flavorful and juicy. I cant believe this spot is not blowing up yet especially in East side San Jose, I definitely will be coming back with friends AND family! This place is truly a gem! read more

The 6 kids dug into the fried rice like vultures on its freshly killed prey. Spoons, hands, forks, and rice flying everywhere. I turned to look at the table to my left and the couple was staring at our table in silence. Their eyes widened but they didn't say anything... They probably thought their parents and I haven't fed them since last weekend. I was not embarrassed though that the hungry kids were fighting over the last grain and soft scrambled eggs with fresh shrimp that topped the mountain of golden goodness. They did this at Anh Hong Bo 7 Mon Restaurant last month when we celebrated Everly's 9th birthday. I find their insatiable appetite amusing. We had just gotten out of mass at Saint Maria Goretti Church and they were obviously starving. Thanh who attended mass with us invited us to try a new restaurant, Oc 7ien, on Story Road. Oc 7ien grand opening was on Friday, November 14, 2025. She manages the restaurant. My birthday already passed last month so we were not here to celebrate me getting older and wiser. We came to celebrate a new chapter for Kitty. It was a bar, a dark kitten that grew old and evolved into something lighter filled with a vibrant energy that only untainted laughter from innocent souls can help change over night. I can't say it better than Everly or Belle who said this restaurant was better than anything they had had in their life. "How many stars girls?", I asked them. Everly exclaimed 10 out of 5 stars because the maximum was not enough to describe how delicious the food was here. Belle looked in the distance, as if she had seen her father like he was a floating ghost or perhaps she heard a distinct knock on the door, or a faint voice call Everly's name too. She confirmed that this new restaurant was worth 1 billion stars. Kids do not lie. They all love this place and we were invited to come back every Saturday. The girls didn't want to smell the grilled squid or look at the battered fried frog legs. They would rather sit in the car in the rain than watch Louis devour the thigh. read more

Honestly, there's not many good spots around the bay area for oc (clams/sea snails), which is why I tend to stick to going to Dong Que as my default. But I came across this spot on yelp & the pictures of the food just looked soooo mouthwatering, that I really wanted to give it a try. At the same time, my friend was also feeling like having some sea snails so we decided to give this place a shot. It's in a rundown plaza that's across the street from Vietnamtown, with a sign that said "under new management since November 2025", but don't let that deter you (bc I know it made me hesitant)... bc the food was flippin amazing! We were one of only two tables there on a Saturday at 11am, which was nice because it seemed that the front of the restaurant was being run by a single lady. We didn't have to wait long for our food to arrive. We ordered the oc len xao dua, so nhat nuong mo hanh, and hau nuong pho mai trung ca to share between two people... and that was surprisingly SO filling. I'm not sure where they source their proteins, but the clams and sea snails were HUGE -- the oysters were like twice the size of what you would typically expect. The sauce of the oc len was creamy, rich, and coconutty. The "cheese" sauce on the oysters was decadent, but also had a slight acidic kick and nicely complemented the fish eggs. The so nhat came out a little on the dry side (also slightly overcooked), and the flavors were lacking a biy of salt, but it was easily fixed by asking for some nuoc mam gung to bump it up. The lady kept checking up on us and refilling our waters, without us asking, which is always nice. I think after tip, it was about $35 for each of us, which I felt like it was very reasonable for the quality of food. Overall, I would 100% come back and rave about this place to others! It is sooo slept on! read more

The snail dishes here are super good, fresh and really clean. The place just opened, so there's a 20% discount on the total bill until the end of december. The prices are great, the menu has lots of variety, and the owner is super sweet and friendly. Since it's newly opened and she's running everything by herself, you might have to wait a bit when it gets busy, but the food that comes out is totally worth it! read more

amazing place! came here since theyre still fairly new and we were craving these viet dishes so we wanted to give them a chance. the restaurant was 90% empty but dont let that fool you- the food was extremely fresh. this establishment is a no frills type of place, with the owner running the entire front of the house by herself with exceptional service. she gave off the no bs attitude while being friendly and attentive at the same time, which i like! i prefer this over people being over the top to where it feels disingenuous. my family and i enjoyed the flavors and freshness. i feel bad more people dont know about this place, it appears they sure could use more business. i hope they can stay afloat in the future! read more
