Coterie Winery · Central San Jose
Drop by for Het Say's banh mi, soups, and other Southern Vietnamese dishes paired with Coterie's local wines. Casual seating, à la carte ordering, and a friendly San Jose winery vibe.
Cow Hollow • $
Choose your own pho adventure at this Marina standby, from beef satay to five-spice chicken topped with a whole deep-fried leg. Garlic noodles and crab paste noodles round out the menu.
North Shattuck • $
Family-run Vietnamese spot where generous portions of Bún Bò Huế and Crispy Ginger Rice come at prices that feel like a time warp. Cash only keeps the tab low and the regulars coming back.
Rose Garden
Authentic Vietnamese home cooking in a charming backyard setting with games and outdoor seating. The weekly rotating menu features skillfully crafted dishes like flaky Curry-Chicken Hand Pies and succulent Charcoal-Grilled Pork Ribs.
Mosswood • $
Asian American sandwiches that pack serious flavor—think Sichuan Fried Chicken with sesame-ginger vinaigrette, or a Spam Bánh Mì with house-caramelized spam. Expect bold combos, impeccable execution, and a takeout counter worth planning your lunch around.
Piedmont Avenue
From the team behind Bacogai comes this Japanese convini-inspired Vietnamese spot serving fresh rolls, crab cake sandwiches, and garlic noodles you can grab and go.

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.
Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.
Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.

Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
