"Delicious and comfy environment, will visit again :) The B01. Grill Chicken Leg Square was nicely done, and all the side dishes also go very well with rice. So it'd be nice if more rice can be provided."
"All the fried bento squares and snacks were very greasy and had only breading, no meat. The food also arrived cold and soggy because it took so long. They even put the drinks in the same bag as the food and the boba spilled out. The food is greatly DOWNSIZED. There is only two small pieces of fried chicken compared to a whole cutlet of maybe 4 pieces at other places. The sweet potato fries cost almost $9 and almost every fry had black edges and the burnt flavor. Please see pictures. It is so overpriced compared to the sweet potato sides at burger places and Taiwanese snack places."

"The portion is large, the house special golden chicken is a must order!!! They give a lot of veggies and the entire chicken. Definitely will order again! Soy sauce they made it so good too. Everything is a lot!"
"First time trying this spot. Pad Thai was very tasty. I like that they give you both shrimp and chicken. I thought the noodles were really thin. Other Thai spots use a slightly thicker noodle, but it's good to try new spots and see how they compare in taste, quality and value. Pad See Ew was good. The dish could've had a little more beef in it. Was kind of hard to find the tiny pieces that they give you. Thai Iced Tea was good. You can't really mess that up. Overall, it was a good eating experience. May try them again in the future."

"I got a burrito, 3 tacos, and 2 agua frescas (jamaica and horchata), and OMG, everything was so good! The flavors were on point, and I love how authentic their Mexican food tastes. The burrito was packed and super flavorful, the tacos were perfect, and the agua frescas hit the spot. This place is my favorite, can’t wait to come back! "
"2-15-24 Thought I’d give Kelly’s Deli a second chance and order again. First time I ordered the giant hot link, Buffalo wings and French Fries and a coke. Hot link was Giant and spicy but that’s all, with the condiments the bread was soggy and the Buffalo wings, no sauce on it and you get 5 wings only! I wrote a review but it didn’t get posted? Wouldn’t order either one again. This was on 2-12-24 that I posted the review for this order. Rated 1.5 stars out of 5 stars for this particular meal Today I decided to try Italian Supreme (grilled Italian sausage, topped with grilled bell peppers, onions, and Monterey cheese) can soda (Pepsi) and Loaded Nachos with Carnitas, received a discount of $4.02 for a total $22.08. Latest review for the Italian Supreme was on 5/30/23, not too many recent reviews for this place? The Italian Sausage cut in half and filet is served on a sesame hot dog bun {see photo}with grilled bell peppers and chopped onions with melted shredded cheese, tastes okay, the bun held together. Rate 2.5 stars out of 5, I would order the Italian Supreme over the Giant Hot Link. The Loaded Nachos with Carnitas came with the ROUND Tostito chips (see photo), nacho cheese sauce, covered in sour cream with onions and jalapeño. and Carnitas. Rate 3 out 5; "

"Packaged very well for delivery through DoorDash. I thought the Torta de Jamón was a bit on the pricey side but once I ate it I thought it was delicious with fresh ingredients and well worth the money I spent. The Mexican Iced Mocha was also really good, I enjoyed the flavors in the coffee. I would order from Con Azúcar again. I hope they make this a chain staple out of San Jose. "
"The Torta de Jamón was good quality and had good flavor. The bread was distinctly good and I don't think I've had that type before. My favorite tho was the Chocolate Abuelita but I'm just a sucker for Mexican Hot Chocolate so there was zero chance I wouldn't like it. 14 dollars for the torta was reasonable for the portion. Lasted me two meals."

"Really good chicken fried rice IF you specify "please use as little oil as possible, and no soy sauce". You can add soy sauce later (they add way too much for us). It is generous on egg and good sized chicken pieces, also chicken is moist and tender as if roasted or rotisseried."
"Crab Meatball 蟹粉狮子头 - found a piece of hair. Didn't get to try it. Shanghai Spring 上海腌笃鲜 - AMAZING Scallion Tossed Noodle 葱油拌面 - AMAZING Sweet & Sour Pork Rib 糖醋排骨 - tastes pretty good but couldn't find one piece of meat with just one regular long bone in it. Seems like it's just scraps. Sweet & Sour Rock Cod 松鼠石斑 - favor is okay but the fish was too over cooked. Not tender and kinda hard to chew. Dong Po Pork 东坡肉 - not too flavorful, super oily. Shanghai Traditional Pork Bun (6 Pcs) 上海大肉包 - skin was thick and meat was packed really hard and not juicy. Pan-Fried Bun 生煎包 - tastes alright. "

"72 Tidu Sliced Fat Beef Pot(Spicy-2)(Peanut) 72 香锅肥牛🌶🌶🥜(含花生) super good! Look at the yummy big chunck of beef. Good value too!"
"I genuinely have no clue how this restaurant gets such good reviews. Starting with the best first, the beef roll was fabulous. I'll order just that in the future. Then it all goes downhill. The dumplings were tough, like they'd been sitting in a warming tray for a long time, and the fillings were bland, pretty close to flavorless. The hot and sour soup was okay, they put a lot of cornstarch in, i guess, because it's very gloopy. Flavor was unmemorable at best. The big disappointment though was the ma po tofu. it was awful. watery and flavorless, the only taste to it was heat. nothing savory, no melding of flavors, and weirdly unsalted. It was terrible, and we didn't eat any beyond the first bites. The prices are really high for what you're getting, I'd be happy to pay almost $20 for a great ma po tofu, but to charge that for what they sent us is highway robbery. So to recap: get the beef rolls. Just the beef rolls. And some at far, far away from the ma po tofu."

"Quantity less for the price of Streetside Chow Mein but 10/10 on taste. Gobhi Manchurian was a miss, by the time it came, it was soggy, salt was too less so it tasted bland and spicy because of the chilly.
