Andy Wang It is hands down the best authentic Chinese food in all of San Jose by a good margin. The food was great and beautifully presented with fast and respectful service. Very satisfied with the vast selection of different Chinese foods ranging from various regions of China. Not to mention the restaurant also has a food delivery robot! I will definitely be back soon!

Carl Foisy Since the day this place opened. It has been a delight. Definitely on the list of some of the best happy hour in downtown San Jose. Consistency is king and with this spot consistency is on point. Everything from the sticky ribs to their warm burrata cheese, the food is great. I understand there. Chef is very talented and is indeed keeping the bar high. Happy hour drinks are a good deal, and if you get there early enough, you can find a seat at the bar or outside on the covered patio. I’m glad they’ve survived and are still doing great things.

Samantha Gobert One of the best meals I had in San Jose!! My friend and I had no idea they had chicken and waffles so we nearly screamed when we saw that on the menu! Got that and the chilaquiles to share and everything was amazing. I had The Club Espresso Martini which was exquisiteeee. Service was A++++. Their computer was down that morning and it seemed like they were a little stressed but honestly they kept everything running so smoothly we wouldnt have even known if we hadnt been sitting at the bar right by the computer. Gotta come back and try everything else on the menu haha

Nidhi S Great restaurant with a vibrant ambience and nice location. Its in the heart of downtown San Jose. The staff is extremely friendly, we were 30 mins late from the reservation time but they warmly accommodated us. Food was great. We have shrimp, risotto, pizza, chicken wings and a nice chocolate whipped dessert. Food was really nice minus the chicken wings. We sent it back and the server was very cordial about it. Shrimp and risotto were the highlights. Their bar area is super nice with comfortable seating. There is an underground multi level parking at 2 mins walk. Overall a great location, services were great and staff was very friendly, I would go back again!

Chetina Angela (Psychology and sexology) Le Papillon in San Jose offers a wonderful fine dining experience that combines excellent service, beautifully prepared dishes, and a warm, elegant atmosphere. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome and comfortable. They were attentive without ever being intrusive, striking just the right balance between professionalism and friendliness. It set the stage for a truly enjoyable evening. The food itself was fantastic. Every dish was presented with care and precision, and the flavors were both refined and memorable. The rack of lamb stood out as one of the highlights — tender, perfectly seasoned, and cooked exactly as it should be. Each bite was rich and satisfying. For dessert, we tried the Grand Marnier soufflé, and it was absolutely delightful: light, airy, and paired perfectly with fresh berries and cream. It was a beautiful way to end the meal and one that I would happily order again on my next visit. The atmosphere inside Le Papillon is intimate and inviting. It feels special without being pretentious, making it a great choice for celebrating an occasion or simply enjoying a high-quality meal. The dining room is elegant and quiet, which added to the overall sense of ease and comfort. Overall, Le Papillon deserves every bit of its strong reputation. With exceptional food, attentive service, and a charming setting, it easily earns five stars. I would gladly recommend it to anyone looking for a fine dining experience in the Bay Area.

Ruby Cortez Love this restaurant. So good! The calamari amazing and the pop sticks so good as well. Martino (Martin) was such an amazing host. We had missed our reservation for my fiancé’s birthday dinner at a different dinner and he made every experience amazing. We really appreciate him for comforting us and making it up for him. Thank you

narae kim I was really looking forward to trying authentic Portuguese food today. Overall, the flavors were on the saltier side for a Michelin-rated restaurant, and the wine list wasn’t very extensive. Corkage is $45. Compared to other Portuguese restaurants I’ve tried in San Jose, a few dishes here are quite close to the authentic local taste. The white sangria was pleasantly balanced—not too sweet—and very refreshing. The blood sausage was chewy, aromatic, and tasted truly authentic, with just the right amount of salt. The duck rice was my absolute favorite. The seasoning was perfect for my taste, and I loved the chewy texture and the rich, layered broth with mushrooms—it was full of depth and flavor. The cod casserole tasted like a gratin, but it was way too salty. If it were slightly less salty, it would have been much better. Still, it paired nicely with the duck rice—but I probably wouldn’t order it again. The tempura beans were crispy on the outside with a nice bite from the beans inside—tasty but nothing special. The house aioli wasn’t the traditional Portuguese or Spanish yolk-heavy version; it was more like the American-style aioli. I would definitely come back for the blood sausage and duck rice—those two dishes are must-tries! Service was excellent—the staff replaced plates, cleaned the table promptly, and were very polite throughout.

Debbie Cusic Tidy little place serving delicious food. We had a sampler appetizer platter. All will well prepared and delicious. The garlic sauce is the bomb. The shrimp in garlic was generous portion. The tostones were perfectly caramelized not burnt. Thoroughly enjoyed a delicious meal. Its a food court area so different tastes can be explored. And theres a bar a few steps away should you wish for a beer with your meal. Good enough to go back and explore more.

Chitrak Gupta The steaks were good. Only thing was the temperature on the steaks were swapped between me any my guest. The dry aged steak had a great flavor but not overpowering. The cocktails were good.

Travis Wise This restaurant is definitely an unexpected surprise. For years, I had heard legends that this restaurant existed. But I never had a reason to go there until this year. I was amazed. More people should experienced this. I know at one point they had a Michelin star and then when they closed down that went away. I hope they get it back. It is definitely worthy. The neighborhood has a lot of character, but this restaurant is the Crown Jewel. Parking in the back of the restaurant was not difficult because we had an early reservation. The courses came out evenly and consistently, and were all presented extremely well. The staff were all very well trained and knew how to operate a fine dining establishment. The food was all delicious and fresh. Each course had unique flavors that were amazing. If youre looking for a fine dining establishment for a special occasion, this is it.

Stevens Brian (Coach Brian) This food was off the charts. Everything was served hot, fresh and fast. The smoke on the ribs and brisket was perfect and the bbq sauce was the an amazing balance of sweet and tangy. They might as well get rid of the forks in this place.The collard greens were tender and savory and the cornbread brought it all together. I absolutely recommend the 2 meat combo so you can try more than one.

Ann Garcia I came here for a brunch. It was amazing. Service is great, atmosphere. Is there, food is literally Amazing. I came here on a Tuesday at around two P.M. and there was no wait for a table I recommend the chilaquiles

Rashid Aliyev This place for delivery oy, but if you come in, you can do order over kiosk too. Im many time ordering from here and always get delicious dishes! Good, lovely and handsome employees here.

Jordan Sinclair The moment I sat down, the bartender made the whole place feel welcoming with genuinely friendly service. The menu surprised me in the best way-creative American and Asian fusion dishes that taste just as good as they look. Prices lean a little higher, but the quality absolutely matches what you’re paying for. The food hits the spot, the atmosphere is relaxed, and it’s a perfect place to bring someone for a casual date or a quick, tasty meal. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Maria Rivera ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Review We celebrated my daughter’s 13th birthday here on November 21, 2025, with a group of 23 people, and everything was truly 5 stars — the staff, the food, the service, all of it. We were seated in the upstairs room, which was wonderful and perfect for our celebration. The only thing that could have made it even nicer would have been the option to play a little music for ambience. Other than that, everything was absolutely amazing. A special shout-out to Michael, our server, who went above and beyond for our entire group. He was attentive, friendly, and always available for anything we needed. His outstanding service made the night extra special. Honestly, he should be a manager — that’s how exceptional he was. Highly recommend this location. We’ll definitely be back!
