San Joses Downtown Food Hall - (Near San Jose, CA)

1 /5 We Mo: More than 50% of eateries were closed on a Saturday and the eatery I did order from is taking over 30mins to send out my food. I’m still sitting here waiting for the food I already paid for and I have no idea when it’ll be out nor do I know which space/door it will come out from. This might be cool space for people start their restaurant dreams but it’s horrible for customers. Sofa market is a thousand times better. Update: finally got my food 45mins after I order. I ordered a thin crust pizza and it’s not what I received.

1 /5 Janine Tinsley: I don’t normally write reviews but this was a really disappointing experience. Group of 4 and we all ordered from different places. 3 of 5 orders the food did not match the picture or description. We got a tikka masala pizza instead of the basic cheese we ordered through the Deccan’s. The most egregious was the supposed “Yakima burger” from Native American Fry Bread, which was in actuality a regular burger on untoasted wheat bread covered in five spoonfuls of mayo. The facilities are clean and well lit but there are no utensils or napkins, and only one order provided any with it. The text alerts say the food will be delivered to a locker which is around the corner, but in actuality you have to ask the attendant to get it. We asked about one order about twenty minutes after its estimated time and the attendant was able to find it. The text that it was ready came about ten minutes later. I would guess at some hours or storefronts you may more consistently get what you order, but we won’t be coming back to try.

5 /5 G Lee: I went sitting there soft opening so there were only three restaurants open but I’m giving the food hall itself 5 stars cuz I see its big potential. It’s a little further up Santa Clara Street than Walker so the main action of downtown is, maybe 15 minute walk from Cesar Chavez park. I like the way you order at kiosks and there’s at least some limited seating. It’ll be a super convenient place to get multiple cuisines in the same place. There was a lady running the place who is also business owner and she was truly awesome. Energetic and friendly. I’m looking forward to going back when all the restaurants are open. I’ll post info on the food I ate directly on those restaurants links.

2 /5 Ania N: Came to this location after reading reddit suggestions for its vegetarian/vegan options. There are far better vegan and vegetarian restaurants in bay area, which are tasty, with good portion size and affordable. We will not be back. Cons: Overly expensive for the amount of food or its taste Foods you receive do not match photos Super confusing as where to receive your food since there were only two restaurants that had banner Zero food ingredients or info about sides are listed on the self service menu (good luck if you don’t have your phone with you to have proper research and have allergies), didn’t know where to ask questions Receiving Utensils and cup are up to discretion of the seller, you may not receive one Pros: Free 90 min parking nearby Nicely designed bathroom and food hall walls Water dispenser if you have your bottle and cup with you Raymonds Sourdough Bread by Foodieville Micro Baguettes $9.00 The photo of the item showed few small size sourdough baguettes (plain). The item we received was a larger baguette cut in half crispy on top with oily surface. It was delicious but what we expected was plain sourdough. Again not matching the photo and no item description in self Service machine merci Mediterranean Falafel Gyro $11.99 photo had frieds as side, no fries came with the food. Taste was ok, needed some salt pepper which we found in utensils pack. Tenvis kitchen Samosa $6.99 crispy and warm outside cold as ice inside. Clearly just someone half way microwaved it, couldn’t eat it TOFU TIKKA BIRYANI $18.99 Spicy rice with few silken tofu on top, no other veggie in the dish. Came with yogurt and tiny salad with a piece of lemon as dressing,
