$12.95 + 1.00 spicy chili paste (other food, and tax/tip not included) Tucked away in a strip mall plaza, you wouldn't think anything special about this Ramen house from the outside, especially when its sitting right next to a New Tun Kee Noodle house, but this ramen noodle house is a hidden gem in San Jose. We went there around 1:30pm, well past the lunch rush, however the place was still a bit busy.  We were seated quickly and had ordered in a matter of minutes.  We each got the Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen with thick noodle, and when I asked how spicy the dish was he replied "very mild" and then suggested the chili paste when I indicated I like it very spicy. Once the bowls arrived I tasted the broth, it was the porky creamy goodness that I expect in a good ramen bowl, and despite being labeled as spicy, it was not, and so I added the 1/2 the chili paste which brought the spicy level to a very good level of kick. The noodles were thick and c...

$20 for a dozen!!! (other food, and tax/tip not included) People have lost their damn minds once again in the "craze" of these Hawaiian Mochi Donuts!  We arrived after lunch at the Mitsuwa Marketplace in San Jose off Saratoga Ave.  The line was out the door! My friends got in line, I went in to scope out how long it would be.   I passed the automatic doors and saw the line twisted to and fro, back and forth, amongst various food stands and displays.  I inquired the length of time people were waiting, 2-3 hrs was the wait time.   OMG! No frick'n way!!!   No pastry was worth that wait!Luckily, my friend came in to see the line size and saw their sister in law and was able to snag a few to share with us! Thanks CHAN!  The max you could get for one person was a dozen for $20.    Now don't get me wrong, the donuts were very tasty and had that slight chewiness of fresh pastries combined with mochi, b...

  $14.99 Spicy Pork Stew (not pictured) (other food, and tax/tip not included) While a bit pricy, you do get a lot of food, and the staff was super friendly and attentive.  I'd recommend going here if you want a bit more tastier experience than some of the other similar locations unless you're on a budget.   Sadly in my excitement to get the other food photographed, I forgot to take a picture of my own meal, the Spicy Pork Stew, served in a stone hot pot.  Very delicious, and more than enough (with the rice), for me to take home 1/2 and have it for dinner that night as well!  Go Gi Go Korean BBQ    Website Directions 4.6 17 Google reviews Korean Barbecue Restaurant Address :  A, 10815 N Wolfe Rd A3, Cupertino, CA 95014 Hours :  Open today  ·  11:30AM–2:30PM ,  5–11PM Phone :  (408) 32...
