We discovered a great restaurant called "Isabella's" in that little shopping center where "Honey Baked Hams" is located. Isabella's serves the freshest food and very fresh seafood. It is South American Cuisine, specializing in classic Peruvian seafood dishes. The chef is straight from Peru and speaks very little English. They have lunch specials for $6.95 and the dinner menu is very reasonable. Very clean, good service, and nicely decorated. [Rosemary C.]

We sampled the fish taco and a super burrito with carnitas. Excellent. Two could share one of their burritos. The red, green, and chipotle salsas are also excellent. [John S.]
1200 El Paseo De Saratoga

My favorite cappuccino is at Mimi's(Westgate area), just like in Italy! [Joanne A.]

Our very favorite for dine in or take out is Yuki Sushi. If you go often enough, they remember your name! It's family run, the fish is always very fresh - just a great place for Japanese cuisine. There are many options - my children really like all the teriyaki-glazed foods: salmon, chicken, beef. Just great. [Joan P.]
1320 Saratoga Ave
San Jose CA 95129
(408) 615-8282
Tasty and fun. Lots of vegetarian options. They have one room where you can sit at tradtional tables and they serve the food family style. You use your bread to scoop up the main courses - no utensils. [JoAnn M.]
