Guide to San Jose
Food scene
The best food in the Bay Area. I'm biased towards the Asian food, as you can probably tell.
Krungthai
642 S Winchester BlvdI like their Crab Noodles and the Yellow Curry!
This place is one of the best dim sum places in South Bay, definitely worth trying. I recommend the Xiao Long Bao, Spicy Wontons, and/or Braised Beef Noodles.
