Ill get straight to the point. PARKING: spacious especially because most businesses are closed by the time you want to hookah. Called ahead and asked if they take reservations and the guy said they do but when we arrived everyone looked confused, you can walk in and they will make space for you. (You might have to share a table if your party is small) HOOKAH: tons of flavors and combos ! We got the tropical flavor And my friend got the berry splash! Both are good! SMOOOOTH HOOKAH. STAFF: attentive, constantly changing coals and making sure everything is good. MUSIC: they are 2 large screens and multiple tvs , they play all kinds of music videos, from rap, r&b, and even some cultural music. Its a vibe. Bathrooms: CLEAN AND FUNCTIONAL PRICE: we paid $55 for both hookahs and $5 for a redbull , they serve like 3 food items and they sell water and red bulls . Its a chill vibe . No dance floor. Just chill! (this place does NOT sell alcohol it is against city regulations) or something . If its busy you might have to share a booth with someone. When we arrived there as a party of 4 we had to share the booth with one of the workers and his buddies until a table cleared up they moved and we had the booth to ourselves! Still a good time

Great place to hangout with friends or even alone ! They offer variety of flavors. The staff is really nice and friendly. They do allow only 2 people per hookah. Always fun to hangout here

We got the second to last one of the buzz section. Above the striker. I forgot the name but it was a good mixture

First timer here yesterday and it was pretty cool. My friend and I got there around 830pm, empty at first but after an hour ppl came in. The music playing was a mixture of some R&B and rap. Love the whole ambiance of the room. The staff was nice and really good customer service. I will be coming back soon

The interior and ambiance is so nice and their hookahs are SO GOOD! Best flavors I love are paan, rose, and big boi (watermelon mint but tastes like jolly ranchers). Service is on point!!! Music is mix of desi, Arabic, Iranian, Afghan, and hip hop, Spanish too. Seriously so good, so happy this place opened!

Highly recommend the $29 hookah option and tropical mix!

As someone who has been to many hookah lounges in the East Bay, writing this review for Pan Hookah Lounge was a must-I had an EXCEPTIONAL experience! From the moment I entered, I was blown away by the elegant and captivating decor. The couches were the most comfortable I had ever sat in. The custom lit tables were a great touch and I outright love any sparkle. As I sat down, I was immediately greeted by the owner, Sam, and managers, Hela and Afreen. I know my hookah flavors but wanted to try something new and they all suggested a few flavors based off of what I like. I appreciated their patience as I made a decision and clear expertise. Let me tell you...both mixes (tropical and breeze) were amazing!! The hookah itself ($29 option) was smooth and had thick smoke just like I like it! You could tell from every inhalation that they properly clean their hookahs which is not the case everywhere else. Another plus was that they had already started the hookahs before bringing it to our table so we enjoyed a good smoking session from the first hit. No other lounge has done this before. All competitors should stop here to learn a thing or two. You can tell that management truly cares about their product, service, and customer's experience, which is very refreshing. If you love hookah as much as I do, make sure to add Pan Hookah lounge to the top of your list! Thank you Hela, Afreen, and Sam for an enjoyable time. I can't wait to be back soon and try your other location-Double Apple!

Found this little place when we were visiting the area. Small space and has a nice upbeat environment. Very great customer service. A sweet lady helped us and recommended the cheapest hookah stating it has good smoke. I appreciated that she wasn't just trying to upsell us. They have some hot drinks and sodas. No alcohol. I didn't see any food options. They play a variety of music in the background and have sports playing on the big screen tv. The seating is comfortable. Seems like a lot of locals come here. Super chill. Will be back. read more

Really solid hookah spot. The vibe is immaculate -- chill lighting, comfy and well-maintained sofas, and great music. Hookah is affordable and hits well, with a nice variety of flavors. Big projector screens on both sides make it a great hangout for game nights. Only downside: bathrooms could be cleaner, but still manageable. Definitely one of the better lounges around. read more

First time here and have to say this place is very laid back and chill. Definitely out in the cute in a shopping center but a must go to whether ona date or coming with a group. Place is friendly and clean with good customer customer service. Hookah options are good just wish they had Starbuzz brand but overall good. Music is good with great vibe. Wish they had a bit of ac or air with all the smoke but hey its a hookah lounge you'll survive! Definitely coming back to this place on a friday or saturday night. read more

I came to PAN Hookah in San Jose expecting a chill vibe, but honestly left a bit disappointed. The atmosphere itself was fine, but the music was a big letdown. For some reason, they only play Indian music the entire time. Nothing against that genre, but when you're running a lounge, you should mix it up to create a better vibe for everyone. A little variety--hip-hop, R&B, Afrobeats, or even mainstream hits--would make the experience so much better. After a while it just felt repetitive and out of touch with what most people come to a hookah lounge for. read more

Not the best hookah around, but it's open late. Place is on the smaller side so you might have to sit next to other people enjoying their hookah. The cashier up sold us for the more expensive hookah it had led lights and lasers but after the first 5 minutes it wasn't hitting. It's more of an aesthetic look. It was very smooth at the beginning. They don't really come and check on the coals as well we had to ask for that. read more

I've been smoking shisha for 8 years now and I can positively say that their hookah is very good. It's packed in a way that makes it last longer and the cloud is very strong. The staff is so friendly, non of my cards were working so I told Tameem I will go cash money to pay and gave him my ID. He refused to take my ID and told me I can Venmo him when it's possible. The place is clean, organized, and well decorated. I would recommend this place. read more

This lounge honestly is my go to and has been since moving to San Jose! The owner's brother is super friendly and the Indian brother who works there is friendly as well! They always make sure our hookah is just right and always serves us amazing hookah. If you want a good place to chill and enjoy some peace with some good Shisha, come on a weekday night. And if you are more into the loud party Vibez come on a weekend night. The only recommendation I have is to switch up the music from time to time because the music they play is always the same, but other than that this lounge is by far one of my favorites in the bay. Trust me when I say you won't regret coming here for a good time out. Also you MUST try their ginger tea, it's to die for read more

The atmosphere is relaxed but lively, with comfortable seating, clean surroundings, and great lighting that sets the mood whether you're chilling with friends or enjoying a DJ night. The layout gives you space to lounge without feeling crowded, and the music adds energy without overpowering conversation. The hookah was smooth, flavorful, and well-prepared--clearly done by people who know what they're doing. Equipment was new/clean, coals were managed properly, and the smoke quality stayed consistent throughout the session. It's the kind of place where you can actually sit back and enjoy your hookah without constantly asking for adjustments. Shout out to Clarione who was happy to answer all my questions as a rookie. DJ nights are a big plus. The music selection keeps the vibe going and brings the lounge to life, making it a great late-night spot. Add in games, food (bought to you by The Pull Up Host), and a friendly crowd, and it turns into a full experience rather than just a hookah stop. Overall, Vibez Hookah Lounge is a solid spot for good hookah, good music, and good energy. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for a laid-back but upbeat lounge in San Jose.

Came to try out this hookah lounge. So basic yet so welcoming! Been coming a couple times and I…read moremust say they nailed their customer service. Their employee was so nice and she was so welcoming. Not to mention , have you ever seen a place that serves hookah with an iPad ?! I have never. That is way beyond me. So amazing. Their couches are nice leather couches so you can tell they put so much work and so much money into it. The owners aren't scums. Very nice gentlemen, only hookah lounge I've seen that carries pomegranate . And they have hookahs that have lasers!! Not to mention their prices are so good, And their bathroom is so nice and classy. They ALWAYS have toilet seat covers which is a huge pet peeve of mine. Thank you for nailing everything a hookah lounge should be having!

This place was absolutely fantastic. Half of us had never been to a Hookah bar before and the folks…read morewho work here provided a fantastic experience. Don't let the somewhat nondescript exterior scare you; this place isn't even remotely sketchy. Would definitely recommend for a different kind of night out with a small group. Also: don't sleep on the chai; it's the good stuff (or close enough as makes no difference)

My girlfriend and I visited Monroe Hookah Lounge on Friday, December 26, 2025. Upon arrival, we…read morerequested to be seated at an empty booth that still had hookah left behind from the previous guests. We stepped away so the area could be cleaned, which we did by going to the restroom. When we returned, they gave our booth to two other men, and we were simply told that they just sat there without any acknowledgment that the table had already been requested, but somehow the staff couldn't find a way to tell them that that booth was already reserved for us. As a result, we were seated in another Patrons section, despite wanting a more private booth for conversation. Shortly afterward, another booth became available, but once again we were required to wait for it to be cleaned. There were two female staff members working that evening. I have visited hookah lounges across multiple states and have never experienced this level of unprofessionalism or such delays in table turnover. And to top it all off their hookah cubes were poor quality.....While the venue had a good crowd, the service remained consistently poor throughout our visit.

I orders the falafel plate and it was hard to stop eating it. The cucumber martini was super refreshing and the cucumber lemonade was not too sweet. Can't wait to come back!

Ambience (4/5): I thought this would be more like a Sajj joint but was pleasantly surprised with the almost middle eastern touch to the interiors. Service (3/5): counter service but staff wasn't too knowledgeable on ingredients as I was looking for vegan options. We finally figured out what we wanted. Food (4/5) We ordered the middle sized Falafel salad with two sides - we chose the hummus and lentil soup as our sides, and then added the South Of The Border style-your-dish add on the side. First off, the portion sizes are large. And the taste was unexpectedly great. Amazingly flavorful, crunchy, and varying textures of ingredients all work together to form a great dish. And the lentil soup - the sumac sprinkled on top - made one of the best lentil soups I've had. Definitely will be returning soon.

Our group of 6 arrived at 8PM to get on the virtual queue early. Wait was about 30-45 min even that early in the night. There were many regulars there ready to sing already. We were fine with waiting and enjoyed a round of drinks. Getting a table at that time was easy but within a couple hours, the place was crowded. The bartender was attentive even as more people came in. She got us our drink orders pretty fast. Drinks were ok, but we were there for karaoke not a cocktail experience.

Creepy server trigger warning... PS - Not sure why my review from my page didn't post but I'm sharing it from a back up account. I'm glad someone said it cause this place was an experience to say the least lol. I came with friends twice and their hookah's are great and they have a wide collection of flavors and mixes that anyone can enjoy. Their music is so-so, no wide selection of it only stick with a genre and go with it... some might get sick of hearing the same songs on repeat! But what needs to be said is about the servers. Shiva is cool and so down to earth. He served my friends and I and it was so chill. On the other hand was the other guy that works here... tall middle eastern guy, Sid? The first time my friends and I came, we didn't think too much of him on a Friday, it wasn't too packed at the time, but he kept staring at our table and a couple of other girls and it was weird and awkward. I don't blame anyone who leaves a weird review for him cause the second time was just as awk. We felt SUPER uncomfortable with his presence cause he wouldn't stop being flirty for no reason, it was just creepy! So we only referred to Shiva. Definitely recommend coming when he's not around. Whatever he thinks he is, it's definitely not attractive, super subpar and creepy. Thanks Shiva for making us feel comfortable as customers! read more

I only made a page here to leave this review. Pan used to be my place to go to before it turned toxic because of a certain worker... tall M.East sid because the person made it a very toxic environment. people should not be putting women down and treat them like objects and this man has been known to call women horrific names that should not be mentioned behind their backs while "joking" with his uncle/friend. I'm muslim as well and seeing a brother act this way is unacceptable. He has been seen and recorded calling women obscene names, texting them nasty things, basically saying any woman that smiles in the direction of a man is 'asking for it'. He should not be working in a lounge impacting people in general because he showed up even when he had COID. man is known to be misogynistic and inconsiderate while putting a front on as a 'nice person'... while being abusive. please stay wary, he fronts as religious and will put anyone down to feel secure within his 'masculinity'. read more

Great place! Nice vibes! It's a great place for both big and small groups. I come here anytime I'm in the Bay Area, but the service has gone down. On many occasions, it depends on the person to get your coals on rotation. Additionally, it's really HOT inside the lounge and the AC does not seem to be on. One big thing is that the music is always the same. I sometimes have gone 3-4 days in a row, and it's the same exact playlist every time. The place needs to read the crowd and ply music accordingly ie playing Indian music if most of the crowd is Indian. These things can all be improved very easily and quickly but these changes are never made when I ask the staff in person. They always say the boss isn't here and only they can make the music or temperature change. read more

I have been going to hookah lounges for three years and not once have I walked in for the first time and said "Oh Sh*t, this place is nice!!". Super clean, classy, great TVs with chill music to vibe to with a smooth hookah mix to smoke. Will definitely make this lounge my go-to spot from here on out. The customer service is also a super high quality you recieve here at Pan Hookah, coals switched at the perfect time and the staff is very approachable and caters to your needs. By far the best hookah lounge in not only San Josw, but THE ENTIRE BAY AREA. read more

I just wanna let you guys know about the owner, he's the best guy I've ever met. He's very humble and down to earth. Best customer service skills ever. He's very nice with his own employees read more

One of the best hookah lounge in Bay Area. I love the vibes and hookah are amazingly smooth and feel the flavor. It won't burn out the flavor and we sat here for more than 3 hours. I love their customer service, they keep on checking the charcoal and ask how's the hookah, we felt like home. Must visit place in Bay Area and highly recommendable lounge. read more

Reposting review. Bad service and highly inappropriate experience. The males, owner or his brother, tried to offer one of my girlfriends drugs to see if she'd hookup with him. Wildly inappropriate. She respectfully refused and we were met with horrible service. We stopped coming here after this. read more
