Pineapple Village, 769, 1st Street, Gilroy, CA95020. Southeast Asian cuisine. The interior of the restaurant was modern looking and had a nice ambiance. The restaurant was fairly busy. The server was friendly. However, service was a little slow as they seemed to be under-staffed as there was only 1 server present the whole time that we were there. The food was decent but unmemorable. Although it was supposed to be a South East Asian cuisine, it didn't taste like it. ~ Hot & Sour Soup ~ Sizzling Beef Mignon ~ Belacan Mixed Vegetable read more

Although I had an intense headache towards the end of the dinner, the food was good. My favorite dish was the spicy garlic eggplant. I like how the vegetables were soft but not mushy and over cooked or drenched in oil. Last night I almost ordered the tamarind baby back ribs. Since I am staying away from pork, I went with the waitress's recommendation of sizzling beef with red bell pepper. Excellent! We came here for the pad thai and it was so ordinary. I should not trust a person who doesn't like seafood. How am I going to share a meal with someone that doesn't eat fish? My whole protein diet is based on fish and red meat. You come here to drink Thai Tea with extra cream not a shot of whiskey for $6.00. It was a good business meeting but I am going to have to come back here with someone who really enjoys food. This is the second time I have gone to eat with someone who kind of ruined the experience of a new restaurant for me. It is not their fault. I had a headache and now I have a low tolerance for people who are not on the same vibe as me. read more

Huge Southeast Asian menu. Also coming from the Bay Area, the prices are unreal... amazing value. I would say all entrees except noodle soups can be shared by two people. Good for groups, there'll be something for everyone. We sat outside as the only table and the service was pretty good; they didn't forget about us. Considering how large their menu is, most things were above average. I didn't care for the soft shell crab spring roll. Drunken noodles and roti were good. Pho was fine for a non-pho spot. read more

Food was amazing! It was our first time ordering from PV, and it didn't disappoint! We placed a to-go order of money bags (crab rangoon), egg rolls, fried rice, chow mein, spicy Mongolian beef, walnut shrimp, and tempura green beans. Everything was so yummy. I appreciated that everything didn't feel like it was cooked in an excess amount of oil. We will definitely be back and ordering again! read more

Service is still 5 stars. We've been eating here for probably almost a decade. Since we no longer live in Gilroy we come in less often. The last time the food wasn't as good, and it definitely seems like they're skimping on "more expensive" ingredients. The veggie chow mein was mostly just sprouts and noodles. There was 3 pieces of zucchini, 4 pieces of broccoli, 2 pieces of baby bok choy, and like 2 slivers of carrots. All the veggie bits were small. The veggie chow mein used to be so full of veggies. Now it's approaching Panda Express level, where it's basically just noodles. Other dishes we ordered, the meat dishes, were also smaller portions than last time we were in. Veggie egg rolls are now like almost all cabbage. Golden money bags are pretty light on the crab. I know that things are expensive right now. But prices here have gone up over the years. It's not an inexpensive place to eat. One thing that has always been an issue here is noise. It's super duper loud, I think because tables are so close to each other it makes it hard for ppl to talk to each other. So they talk louder. Wait staff is nice and attentive. It's mostly just an issue with food quality, or like changing dishes to be heavier on the inexpensive ingredients. So that's a big bummer. read more

Wow. Just going to say this was a gem! They were so busy but the service was a 10! The decor and overall feel of locals and patrons spanning from date night, family dinners, and ladies having dinner night together made it we'll rounded. The water- to start is infused with lime and cucumber. It was so refreshing! We ordered several dishes and I'll rate and comment on each. By the way, order as you go- we were paying through and were so sad at how much was ordered and left behind. read more

One of my favorite Gilroy restaurants. Never had a meal I didn't enjoy. Where else can you get fried okra with you Garlic Chicken?

Was really craving seafood boil and it was pretty late- boiling crab, etc places in SJ were closing soon. I Yelped open restaurants and this place showed up. From the menu, it looks very much like just an Asian fusion restaurant with no specific cultural cuisine. Strictly just reviewing for the seafood boil. I arrived to the restaurant to make an order to-go. I was looking at old yelp menu photos and realized when I got there that the seafood boil order process has changed. 1. Choose your sauce (I chose jellyfish smack- mix of all sauces) 2. Pick your heat (I chose hot) 3. Add boil sides (I opted out of sides- they're an addition cost. I had sausage links, golden potatoes and eggs for soft boil, and rice at home) List of available seafood: - Snow Crab legs - Dungeness crab - Crawfish - Shrimp (headless for extra $2) - Lobster - Mussels - Scallops - Clams I chose 1lb crawfish, 1lb shrimp, and 1lb mussels. I don't like how there's no pricing listed for the seafood options and it just says market price. For frozen seafood, really? Everything added up being around $72, but I left a tip anyway. Totaling $78.40 The lady at the front counter was really nice and patient while taking our order. It satisfied my craving, but it was very average. Flavor of sauce was okay. Crawfish were on the small side, shrimps were over cooked, mussels were... mussels. The price point was not worth it in my opinion. I will not be back for the seafood boil, but my bf did want to come back to try their other food options. read more

Haven't seen a cajun-vietnamese-thai place before but the food here was amazing. Green curry and tom kha gai were my favorites, but everything we had was delicious. Green curry was just so flavorful and a tiny bit spicy, with perfectly cooked soft chicken. Teriyaki beef was incredibly tender and flavorful, even warmed up as leftovers. Huge portion of pad thai, only complaint there was our lime was pretty dry and had only a few drops to give when we tried to squeeze it over the dish. Mango sticky rice was the perfect dessert, so warm and sweet we had to get one to go too. What a gem in Gilroy. read more

Stopped by on the way back from a trip to Monterey with a party of 6 plus baby (plus stroller). We were one of the first patrons there as they opened, and the restaurant was very accommodating, giving us the best possible booth table with ample space for our stroller and high-chair. What I didn't know was that it is actually connected to a cajun seafood spot, so you can actually order items from both places, which is pretty neat. Most of the table opted for family style, which is highly recommended, as the dishes are definitely shareable size. Here is some of what we ordered: -Roti: two orders; a little small for the price, but the curry sauce packs a pretty nice spice; very nice and flaky roti though -Drunken noodles with mignon: steak bites were so good; very tender! the noodles were pretty good - a tad oily, but I personally loved the dish -Gilroy chicken: a bit of spice on this one, but solid mix of peppers, chicken, and nice sauce -Strawberry boneless pork: a bit out of left field, my dad wanted to try this one, and honestly, I was pleasantly surprised - a little crisp to the pork despite looking like it would be soft/mushy, and the strawberries counteracted the sweet sauce, which I liked -Tofu and vegetables: solid dish to get your veggie fix in -Green curry: a little liquidy and not spicy at all, but the potatoes, baby corn, and insides were soft and delicious Overall, I really enjoyed this spot and would be down to check out other dishes and specials - would definitely recommend if you are around Gilroy! read more

This restaurant is a gem hidden in Gilroy. I did not expect to love it as much as I did. We had an early lunch and were welcomed and seated immediately by the waiter. The decor inside is well done and there's so much seating for large parties. Random thing to like, but I really appreciated that their menu had pictures for almost every item! It made selecting our dishes so much more easy because a lot of the menu was unfamiliar dishes to me. They have a whole additional vegetarian menu too! We order quite a bit and the portions are huge!! Family style eating here is very easy. Here's our order: 1. Crispy calamari -- (5/5) you can order it with garlic or Cajun flavoring. We went with garlic. It's a tempura fried dish with a sauce to dip into. This appetizer is huge and can easily be shared amongst 4-5 people. 2. Veggie Chowmein -- (5/5) the noodles are thick and the overall dish is so delicious. So much better to fast food chowmein we are all used to 3. Gilroy Chicken -- (4.5/5) huge portions again. I picked this because I thought that it would be spicy, it was more sweet than spicy but had great flavor and paired so well with our chow mein 4. Fisherman Prawns --(3.5/5) this was so similiar to our appetizer that we wish we picked a different entree. It came with a spicy powdered breading and roasted red peppers that were drizzled over the battered shrimp. It tasted good but we wish that it was less dry. It felt more like an appetizer than an entree. There's plenty of parking and a patio seating area. Highly recommend this restaurant if you are in Gilroy!! read more

Delicious! Ordered regular items and vegan items! I loved the Kung Pao Tofu, Potstickers, and Singapore Rice Noodles! Not pictured - we got a curry soup. All were well made and tasted great! We ordered take out and the food was still hot when the door dasher handed the food to us. The food didn't take long and arrived quickly. I would order from here again! Very interested in trying something new. read more

I really love the drunken noodle with beef filet, hot and sour soup and garlicky yam fries with spicy aioli but recently I had the tom yum soup and it was not very good at all, so be careful here as it is pretty overpriced, make sure to stick to what is tried and true or you will definitely feel disappointed if you try something new and it underwhelms , but overall the food is very good and reliably generous size portions and decent quality with friendly service! Great for takeout read more

I think is wildly important to note that this place is internally connected to another restaurant called the Jellyfish Seafood Bar, so when you sit down to a table in EITHER establishment, you can order from both menus! As a first timer to both restaurants, this came to me as a surprise. I honestly came in to try the Jellyfish Seafood Bar, but was ultimately unimpressed by the menu and decided to eat off of the Pineapple Village menu instead. We came in looking for something to satisfy our need for food and to stay on track with our Lenten commitments... and boy were we in luck! Since Pineapple Village serves food family-style, I ordered three items to share. 1) Vegetarian Wonton soup, Walnut Prawns and Basil Fried rice. Everything came out piping hot and chalked full of flavor. Especially the basil fried rice--that sucker is very basil-forward in taste. Once you get over the initial shock of how potent it is, I swear, it is the most delicious thing you will have ever tasted. On another note, the walnut prawns were exceptionally crispy and paired perfectly with some candied walnuts which truly elevated the dish. And honestly, my favorite part of the vegetarian wonton soup was how fresh the veggies were without being soggy. While the broth is filled with veggie goodness, I'd highly recommend a dab of chili oil to add some flavor to the mix. Honorable mention: the cucumber infused water is super refreshing! All in all, service was excellent and the vibe was definitely casual and family-friendly. My one and only complaint is the fact that there is only one bathroom in the establishment and it was quite disgusting when I went in there. They do have a pair of sinks located just outside the bathroom door, but I'd suggest if you have some "business" other than hand washing, you do it elsewhere. Overall, 9/10, will definitely be back. read more

Whenever I am in Gilroy, this is my go to spot. I love this place. I have tried a good amount of their menu and everything has been up to par! I do have to mention they are a family style serving plates so I tend to share with the person/people who go with me. My go to are always these three items: the Heart attack fried rice, Sizzling beef mignon and the Gilroy chicken. All of them are so good. The fried rice i order is filled with diced seafood such as calamari, shrimp, and imitation crab. The chicken is really soft paired with mushrooms and corn with a spicy sauce drizzled on top. And lately, the mignon comes in a sizzling pan with bell pepper and onion, the meat is buttery and soft. There is plenty of parking and the staff are friendly. I highly recommend this restaurant, it will not disappoint. read more

I went to Pineapple Village today, and wow... 10/10 experience. I've been here plenty of times over the years, but today everything just hit different. The food was packed with flavor, and their chili oil? So good I grabbed two to-go after dinner. Everything we ordered was delicious, and the staff was on it--tables cleaned right away, super attentive, and friendly. It was packed (Friday night rush), but we were seated right away. I brought my mother in law for her first time and she Definitely said that it's going to be one of her favorite spots to go! read more

The photos in these post are from my two most recent visit. The first one, I went with my mom and ordered couple of dishes like the Pad Thai, Combination Fried Rice, Roti, Seafood Broil, Walnut Prawns. We definitely enjoy the Seafood Broil especially how it's served on a plate rather than in a bag. Walnut Prawns were also great but I wish it's a little crispier. Combination Fried Rice was alright (definitely will get the Vegetable Fried Rice instead) The second visit, I went by myself after some errands. I got the Beef Broccoli, Vegetable Fried Rice, and Seafood Clay Pot. For a single person that's a lot of order but it also means lots of left over Anyways, I like all of the three dishes that I got. The amount of seafood in the clay pot was good. A lot of times, when the dish says seafood, it's usually lots of squid. But this seafood claypot has shrimp, fish, scallop, and squid. In addition, there's also tofu in it. The Beef Broccoli tastes sooo good too. Lastly, the vegetable fried rice is a must try I'll say. The seasonings and the vegetable it has works well. The second visit, it was a little busy - maybe because it's like dinner time. It has an average loud level. It was not that dark yet as it's around 7pm but I wonder how it's gonna be like when it's night time. I feel like it'll be dark inside when it's around October. The server who's supposedly checking on me if I need anything visited my table twice (not including the times she delivered the food I ordered). The first time is to check if I'm doing alright. The second time is basically asking if I need a box for my left overs. A lot of times, she is entertaining this one particular customer on the other table. Definitely going to go back here especially I enjoy eating the food that they have. Maybe next time though, I'll just go back around 3pm-4pm so it's not as busy like what I've experienced on a Tuesday night. read more

Pretty good for the most part. Onions are always cut too big. Egg rolls are very bland. Curry is pretty good. $2.25 to add 1 tbl green onion to a doordash order is ridiculous. Hit or miss reallt read more

The food is okay. It was our way back home from Monterey. The food was very slow. We waited nearly 40 minutes and they were not busy. The service was also very slow. I feel that they are not so attentive to their customers. Our server did not check on us once. We also had a hair in our food which they had to remake. Not sure if they remade it from the scratch but that remake was quick... Ambiance is normal nothing special - a casual out. read more

We've loved the food here for years now! I love that we can order food out or eat in, and we like to do both. The place is small but nicely situated and doesn't feel too crowded. The green bean appetizer is awesome, the pad thai is really good, and we really like the yellow curry too. Plenty of great options aside from these also! read more

Great service, they were fast and kind. The food is served HOT and delicious. Comfortable tables, and atmosphere, would recommend

The food was great. The serving is good for 2 people so make sure you order more if you are very hungry. I like the fried rice but it's too spicy for my taste but my husband and teen love it so much. I enjoy the curry it has a lot of chicken. I also ordered the mango sticky rice and it's warm and tastes amazing. Will definitely come back if we're in the area. The ambiance is really nice and there's a lot of tables inside. read more

Wow, one of the better Asian fusion Chinese, etc. restaurants that I have been to. I traveled to San Luis and stopped here for dinner. On my way to San Luis and then returning from St. Louis.

Wow! Pineapple Village has been wonderfully consistent in the food quality, presentation, and service. Today we tried the Salmon Salad for the first time.

The service here was great, attentive and very accommodating for the littles/kids. I also loved the variety of food. This is a dual restaurant with Pineapple Village serving Southeast Asian Cuisine and Jellyfish serving all sorts of seafood dishes. From the Pineapple Village menu, we got a few "bento"/combo lunch specials which for under $20 included soup, rice/veggies and an entree felt like a deal! And from the Jellyfish menu we got a loco moco which was a patty and egg over bacon fried rice, with a tasty gravy -- the little was a big fan and even though he doesn't eat much -- he devoured it. We're not in the area much but if we are, I'd visit again to try some of their other dishes! read more

This is one of our favorite places to eat in Gilroy. My husband & I come here pretty often & whenever we have guest visit us, we bring them here too & they always enjoy it. LOVE that they joined the two restaurants (Jellyfish Seafood Bar) now & you can order from either menu. We often change up our order when we come here but the dishes we always have to get are: Fisherman's Prawns (my husband's favorite) Garlic calamari (the one with the onions & aioli - soo good!) Pad Thai (my favorite) Dakota has been our server multiple times we've come & he's the best! Super attentive & friendly. Definitely come check this place out - you won't regret it :) Can't wait to come back again! read more

Pineapple Village is a fantastic place. Recommended for anyone that wants quality food, great selection.

The portions are definitely for more than one or two people. I love the wonton soup as it is a good size and very flavorful. The restaurant looks really nice inside. It is small but it fits a good amount of people. read more

Ordered Spider Mango roll to-go. Got home and found out there's no mango inside the roll. Picked up on Saturday 6/20/26 around 5:30pm

We tried this business not long ago. The food was very good however, there were items missing from our take out and they had closed by the time we realized. The food is very favorable and well made in reference to their other reviews. We were excited to try the different recommendations we had seen. I got the filet mignon pho both the first and second times I ordered here. The first time the broth was very favorable and the fillet was cooked tender. The cold additions like sprouts, onions, lime, fresh basil and jalapeño were present on the first order but there was no hoisin sauce or siracha style sauces to add. I was disappointed at the missing sauces but the pho was still delicious. The second time I ordered it I asked for the hoisin sauce on the side, no onion and the addition of extra fresh basil. I received the pho with a scant few bean sprouts, some sliced fresh jalapeños and some hoisin sauce. They completely omitted the basil (I asked for extra) and lime (or lemon?). Basically my soup was mostly noodles (I think they used wheat this time instead of rice noodles), the broth was not as rich as the first time and it lacked all the freshness of the additions. The hoisin sauce helped but had I lived closer I would have taken it back and asked them to remake it or get a refund. I've tried the pho twice and the only consistent is the inconsistent. Bummer as the original broth was great. The consistency of additions wasn't. Two time strike... most likely won't order it again. But the other food is very tasty and worth a good review. read more

Pineapple Village in Gilroy is amazing! The volcano chicken is absolutely delicious--full of flavor and perfectly cooked.

Highly recommend! read more

The vegetarian menu is great, but the dishes are cooked in the same oil/dish that has eggs. That made it a difficult for me to consume the noodles we ordered :/ if you're a vegan / vegetarian who doesn't consume eggs - find another place. read more

Food is ok and server is friendly but there is hair in the food and it took 48 min for first dish to come out it's crazy

Beware because the customer isn't always right in Pineapple Village's eyes. I ordered and paid for a small party tray of Honey Sesame Prawns and got a small party tray of their Honey Sesame Chicken instead. We always dropped over $290 every time we had placed an order with Pineapple Village. Never again. They lost a patron because the waitress played CYA and lied to the owners about my order. Also, their eggrolls were soggy the last 2 times we ordered them, which is why we didn't order them again. Now they don't have to worry about this customer anymore because I'm not spending another dime on Pineapple Village ever again. read more
