Reviews for Top Cafe in San Jose, CA
Still remember back in the collage days, we'd stop by and grab some food before heading towards the meandering hill drive and... hwy 9 in the night. The two waiters there would always come in and join our chat when they were not busy. Food is ok. The memorywas more than 5 stars. Read more
Ordered onion pork chop and garlic chicken. Pork chop is thin cut and over fried. Hence it's hard and dry. The sauce is too dark... and thick. Not good. Read more
Have to admit cakes and desserts are very good, environment and decor is hill and it’s an experience to eat something here. We... were in a bit of tourist mode so didn’t stay for long, it’s a cozy place to spend the afternoon to catch up with friends. Read more
I found 7-8 human hairs mixed in with my meal. I had ordered chow mein, fried rice, orange chicken and sweet n sour pork. I... found 7"+ long hairs in each dish. They don't wear hair nets I guess. If hair grosses you out, don't order from here. The foodwasn't disgusting, but the sweet n sour pork had a ton of cartilage and bone in it. Overall, disappointed because I was cravingthese dishes and decided to try out a new place. Just don't want any one else to make the same mistake as I did. Read more
this place was bad, it had terrible pan FRYED noodles that were literally just boiled noodles, it had fried rice that was... flavorless, and ithad virtually no a/c. It was unbelievably hot. It was also just a bad experience in general. Read more
Came here on a Tuesday night and got seated immediately - it's not super busy at around 5 pm to 6 pm! Good: I really like the... food quality here - it's different than a lot of the places I've been to and it's pretty solid food. I like the spaghettibolognese here even though it feels like a super out of place thing at this kind of HK restaurant - but it comes in this hotstone bowl and feels super fresh and the sauce is beautiful - just enough flavor and slightly sweet too. The Russian borschsoup is great too and I felt like it tasted more like minestrone soup which I also like and it is very flavorful. Bad: Theservice here isn't great - the waiters have forgotten our orders and we had to bug them for it. They are nice though. The gyozaand fried tofu here are pretty bland so I'd skip those. Overall I like the food here and would come again! It's pretty cheaptoo so it's really worth for the amount and the portion sizes. Read more
I've passed by this place many times but never tried it, decided to finally give it a try. The restaurant is about half full... when I came in, I seated myself in a booth. Took a while to get the menu and order, there were 2 servers but 1 was also makingdrinks so it was difficult to get their attention. I was hoping to get lemon coke as their complimentary drink, since both lemontea and coke were in the free selection, however, the waitress vetoed it and I got the red bean drink instead. The red beandrink came relatively quickly, though it's nothing to write home about. It tasted quite watered down, but it's free so can'tcomplain. Took a while for my baked fish dish to come, but that's probably to be expected for a baked dish. The complimentarysoup never showed up, and I didn't want to deal with flagging down the waitress so just let it go. The fish dish itself waspretty good, and reminds me of all these HK cafes I've visited in the past. Not sure if I'll come again. Service was very slowand it gave me time to look at all the flies flying around the tables. This may be a good choice if you are looking for food atodd hours, but I wouldn't make a trip to come as there are many other choices around. Read more
I forgot how salty this place is and they use MSG. Price is good, but the taste is not quite right today. The Peking rib is... thin and the sauce is only ok. The Tofu fish pot was decent but on quite salty. The stirred fried broccoli was decent. Read more
