My cousin and I came to the San Pedro Square Market to grab a quick small bite, and then to grab something to take back to the hotel. We weren't sure what we wanted, which is why we came to the Market to decide. I decided to grab my to-go lunch here; I was craving some kind of meat and rice, so I went for the Beef Rib Eye Rice, and I also got the Cucumber Lime Lemonade. The Cucumber Lime Lemonade was too sweet for me, and I had to dilute it with water. The rib eye stirfry was tasty, but the meat was way too tough. I really like rib eye, and I've always had it tender. So, I don't know if it has been overcooked, or what, but it was so tough and hard to chew that I can barely chew most of the pieces, and had to spit them out.
one of my go to lunch spots! I don't see the won ton soup on the new menu which is a bummer. That was my favorite! My other go to dishes is the banh mi and beef rib eye.
Was seeing a matinee show at the Center of Performing Arts on a Saturday. So glad the San Pedro Square was open. My daughter and I decided to enjoy Vietnamese fare. It's a walk-up with bar seating. Giant menu on the wall or a paper menu at the counter. Friendly service. Food came out in 10 min or less. We shared a grilled pork banh mi. Delicious. Although I said "no jalapeños," it still came with jalapeños. Good thing they were big slices and I was able to take them off easily. We also shared tofu fresh rolls (not on the menu) which were cut into 8 easy-to-eat pieces. The peanut sauce was really good. And we thoroughly enjoyed the fried wonton strips on the side. They only sell bottled water. Would definitely come back!
Yum!! The bbq pork bahn mi is something I will definitely be coming back for. It was a bit on the spicier side with the jalapeño, so if you can't do spice order it without. Great flavor, huge sandwich, lots of meat and veggies...this was the perfect comfort meal. Their egg rolls were also pretty good, but the bahn mi was outstanding.
The last Banh Mi's I enjoyed were back when I lived in Sacramento. So finding this gem in San Pedro Square has been an amazing find for me. I had the BBQ Pork Banh Mi and Spring Rolls. Both were so neatly presented (very important to me), the flavors were on-point and delicious. The service was about 10 minutes and I grabbed a drink and a table in the meantime. San Pedro Square is always a hit with our friends group- there's something for everyone. But I think I have found my routine spot in the meantime with On a Roll!
On a roll, for when you want fast food on the go. Came to San Pedro Square market and decided to try their coconut shrimp, however, they were all sold out. So then our second choice was the potstickers. They were just OK and they came with the sweet spicy sauce too.
I wanted to go somewhere to have an early dinner with my aunt and I wasn't too sure where to go. Since there's so many different places to eat at in San Pedro marketplace, I figured we could go there and pick some thing. We ended up going to this cute Vietnamese spot right at the Side entrance. It was perfect because my aunt ordered the eggrolls, and I got some spring rolls and with my stupid food allergies, there's no MSG in their spring rolls! Yes, I'm allergic to monosodium glutamate and I'm Hapa! Ughhhh fun stuff! Anyways, the gentleman at the front counter was very busy, but took our order, and we also got a strawberry tea, and I got a lychee tea. I loved all the different Boba and lychee jelly inside my tea, and the spring rolls tasted very fresh! The only funny thing was is, the gentleman didn't give us any utensils. I had to go back after we sat down and pick up utensils . lol Everything else was fine within the service and we were able to sit down at this cute Italian spot and watch the two people there clean out their giant pasta machine. Apparently it was making the pasta stick instead of separate. I've never seen a giant pasta machine like that, so it was very interesting for my aunt and me to watch them assemble and disassemble the machine. Since I have a gluten allergy, I can't really eat there but my aunt said she definitely wants to try it! Lol we will definitely be back to this Vietnamese spot, On A Roll for a light dinner or snack/appetizer.
I ordered the salmon salad. The chef was genuine, you could just feel it. Dedication to his business. For $18, the portion is huge. Better yet, it's fresh. I was initially surprised he asked me to come back in 10 minutes. There's no way you can cook salmon that quickly unless its precooked. I returned to find him at the stove, so I waved at him and told him I'd return. When I did, I found a plastic bag with two containers, one for the hot salmon, another full of a fresh variety of greens, long shredded carrots, tomatoes, and extra sauce. The fish is a thick fillet where one end had to be tucked into the container. The sauce is a delicious sweet and sour onion combination. Combined with the salad, however, HEAVENLY. I broke a small portion of the fish into the salad and it looked like I barely touched the fish. Highly recommended if you plan on visiting San Pedro Square.
This was my first time in San Pedro Market and the first store I saw when I walked in was On A Roll. But, I did walk through all the eateries to see the endless option. I still came back to On A Roll since I was craving a banh mi. I really appreciated the Asian fusion cuisine and some of my favorite Vietnamese dishes. My friend and I split a grilled pork banh mi and spring rolls. The banh mi was filled with lots of delicious pork and pickled veggies. It definitely hit the spot and fulfilled by banh mi craving. The spring rolls came with fried wonton chips and yummy peanut sauce. The peanut sauce was my favorite and a really good addition to the spring rolls. The service was pretty quick and around a lot of the other eateries. Will definitely be back whenever I'm craving some good Vietnamese food.
We were walking around San Pedro Square Market and decided to get a quick drink. On A Roll is food stall that serves Vietnamese Fusion Cuisine. Convenient counter seating with additional seating throughout the market. The service is fast and efficient. I ordered their Cucumber Lime Drink. I'll check them out next time and will order some food. read more
I wanted to try something different for lunch at San Pedro Square, and having a banh mi sounded good. I ordered the tofu banh mi because I was in a meatless mood. The bread was pretty good and had the right texture. The tofu was very soft and mushy, and in a sauce that was just ok. The jalapeno was cut into a large slice, making it hard to eat. I felt like the tofu could have been made crispy and the jalapeno sliced thinner, and this would have been way better. Very bland flavor overall, not really like a typical banh mi, and I didn't love the texture. You order from a kiosk here, and it was made pretty quickly. I think I'll just stick to other spots at this location. read more
WHERE'S THE FRIED EGG? I was here during the halftime of the World Cup semifinal game between England and Argentina. On the menu it showed a picture of beef tri-tip banh mi with fried egg. The picture wasn't a scrambled egg, but a sunny-side egg. Seeing a picture of a sunny-side egg is food porn for me. Hence why I ordered the beef with fried egg bahn mi. I'll comment on the positives. First the length of bahn mi is similar to a hoagy. Second the beef tri tip was flavorful and moist. Third I like the grilled onions complimenting the raw ingredients of the cilantro and carrots. I wish the bread was a little crunchier however it was airy. I have one negative. When I received the beef banh mi I couldn't find the fried egg. I had to open the sandwich to find the fried egg. I was about send the bahn mi back. Then I noticed the fried egg wasn't sunny-side up but a well-done over easy egg. I wasn't able to experience the food porn of runny egg yolk over the marinated beef tri tip. I felt lost like England when they lost to Argentina in the semifinal. I would rate the beef tri tip higher if I was served a sunny-side egg as the one shown on the picture. I got duped by the picture of the sunny-side egg just like England duped me in the World Cup semifinal game. read more

I came here with some coworkers for a quick lunch and got the spring rolls. They were tasty and great for a light and quick lunch. We ordered ahead through Yelp/other online service and the owners kindly let us know to call in next time since the online ordering takings a percentage of fees from them. Coworkers got the vermicelli bowl and salmon bowl and they looked so good, will definitely be trying those next time. Bottom line: quick service for lunch and the owners were kind. All the food looked amazing, I am definitely coming back to try new things next time. read more

My pre-game spot to eat. Good price, decent sized, tasty sandwich, quick service. Located in the San Pedro Square Market, towards the exit near restrooms, counter space to sit and eat. Everything I saw others get looked nice too. I'll try their Chicken Pad Thai next time. read more

First time trying this place and the spring rolls did not disappoint. Taste red fresh and delicious. The sauce was also good. Very reasonably priced for the portion as well so win win. I'll be back to try more things read more
One of two Vietnamese spots located at San Pedro Square Market. A bit on the pricey side, but the food is not bad. We ordered the Spring Rolls as a starter. I've never seen a place that puts both chicken and shrimp in their spring rolls before! Honestly these were pretty good. I enjoyed dipping them in the peanut sauce, but I just wish they put the sriracha on the side instead of mixed in with the peanut sauce. It also comes with a side of wonton chips! I had the Salmon Plate, and it was yummy! It was cooked perfectly and has a honey and tamarind sauce, so the flavor was delicious. It also comes with fried rice (way better than just having plain rice!) and a salad (they make it a little extra elevated by adding some julienned mango and dill on top). My boyfriend had the Shaken Beef Rib Eye, which was way too salty. The flavor was good, so I think if there was just less salt, this dish could be really good. This also comes with fried rice. read more

OMG! San Jose has this San Pedro Square downtown 5 minutes from the Airport and transit buses and light rail access. It was like a FOOD HEAVEN so many different types of food. Mexican, Asian, Ice Cream, Pizza and Burgers and Sandwiches and Hot Dogs and Peruvian and Indian food and Coffee bars and Alcohol Beer & Wine bars. The people there were from all nationalities. Like one big combination pizza. The outdoor seats and indoor were perfect for the visit. You got to try and check out San Pedro Square it has to be one of San Jose's BEST FUN places to visit. I stopped for a sandwich at this place called On a Roll. So many different types of sandwiches. I ordered the Tri Tip and it was splendid. With some Coconut Milk Tea and Boba beans on the bottom. Took me to NOM NOM city. The male cook and cashier was very nice and friendly and spoke good English. He looked like the owner/manager. I will be back to try the rest of the menu. read more
Got the Thai tea and the chicken pad Thai! Definitely a pretty solid place however the flavors did not hit as hard as I wanted to. The Thai tea was a little watered down. And didn't give me the authentic flavor that I can taste at most restaurants. For the chicken pad Thai the noodles as well as the chicken was a bit dry. Definitely a solid place in a cool location, however I would not go again. read more
Solid 4 star for ONA for accommodating the iced Vietnamese order. I ordered 1 iced mocha with mild/half the recipe because whatever roast smaller Viet places just doesn't vibe with me. It's not for me. I"M sure it's really good though here and everywhere else.... I imagine it's like a minimum of 3-4 shots and or the actual bean/roast.. I met with a friend and it would have been really embarrassing to get sick over lunch. I also got a tofu banh mi and I thought overall the bread wasn't all that good it fell apart while I was eating it and took out the long stem cilantro because I fell really awkward shoving food in my mouth with company... All in all I wanna try some of the other food on the menu. Solid. Live it up HEY! Enso# 83 +- Decent iced mocha and tofu baguette sandwich. _[Alias] Deep Puddle Dynamics As a child I was afraid of the storm, but now I welcome the rain. read more
Love the menu. Never had any issues with my orders from On A Roll. My most recent visit led me to an order of spring rolls and chicken pot stickers. Their Spring Rolls normally come with peanut sauce but I asked for fish sauce. Their Chicken Potstickers normally come as fried but I requested for them to be steamed. Moral of the story: they can likely accommodate any adjustments you request. Prices are fine. It's San Pedro Square so you'll feel the premium pricing but it's not too far off. Good for those who need a convenient grab-and-go lunch. Lots of great options too! read more
Although I was pleased to find an Asian food court, the food was okay. The service was good and the ambiance wasn't busy. Although I came for the live music, I might recommend trying something different from what I ordered. read more

I wasn't a fan of my Black Tea with Pearls. The pearls were good, but I think the problem was with the type of milk they used. My order was ready quickly and the cost was reasonable. They also had a couple dozen of food options, but I only ordered a drink. Here's What I Think...Check out one of their food items if you're in the neighborhood. read more

If you go right now... There's a gorgeous angel working there all by herself creating wonderful food....this is probably my 3rd time getting this soup and it always blows me away how good it is, amazing wontons, Large shrimp, roast pork, toasted garlic, flavors and textures are great. And I'd say it's a bargain at $15!! Amazing place that deserves more business! read more
