Amazing experience. We were walking around and passed by this place. Unfortunately, they were not open at this time, but we came back during opening hours. So glad we came back because we would’ve spent the entire night here. It was fantastic. The stimulating conversation from Link, Don and Lex with their input on what to see and what to visit while in San Jose was phenomenal. Will 100%… no will 110% come back here. The food superb, the drinks phenomenal and the atmosphere perfection. Highly recommend.

It’s a restaurant bar and club all in one place. Food has excellent quality and perfectly cooked. Presentation is basic and efficient. Flavor is spot on. Not over seasoned. Large portions. The cocktails are fantastic, we had 5 different cocktail and all had complex flavor structure, balanced. Very reasonable prices. Amazing selection of bottle service.

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.

Came here on a Sunday and thought that it was not only a spacious open and welcoming place but had amazing options. Taking Mexican dishes and giving them an American twist with the same elevated flavors. Ordered the morning pizza and the chilaquiles with Mole sauce and it was delicious. My friend and I shared both dishes, that are large and very reasonably priced. Definitely enjoyed the ambiance, reasonably price and portions sizes. Will definitely recommend to a friend. Also a champagne bottle for $30 is not a bad deal whatsoever, left toasty and full.

Limited menu but still great food. Nice hostess and the manager Bebes is just the best. Really enjoyed my dinner with my husband. The truffle popcorn was super tasty. Brussels sprouts were delish... oh and the bread they served were buttery, warm and soft on the inside. Yum. It’s nice to be able to enjoy a nice atmosphere during Covid times...

The restaurant has the fun “Build your own Mimosa”, always good to have a bottle with orange or grape fruit juice. Ribs are delicious with great texture of sweet and sour flavor. It’s well cooked and soft, and juice too. $14 for 6 pieces and $20 for a dozen. Very good for sharing. Salmon Benedict is quite big plate also good for sharing. Outside patio has lots of seats and space. Summer hanging out with music and fresh air would be a good option

Stopped by to get some bánh mì for the road back to OC. We thought OC prices were going expensive but nope, SJ beats us for sure. Nice clean, small store that share with the coffee shop and they have the special deal coffee & bánh mì for $13. We got that with BA CHỈ Roasted Pork Belly & VNese hot milk café or cà phê sữa nóng. The sandwich is thick filled with a lot of veggies, just couple slices of meat. The bread is good when it hot but if you leave it within 10mins with cold weather it just hard and chewy (just needs to reheat if you are at home or have oven to heat it up for coupe mins). Well combined and tasty, just wish they would added a little bit more of pâté since it was little. Service was good - you do self order but unfortunately, their machine is not working and the couple infront of us had hard time for 5-7mins before realized that it didn't work. The staff behind the counter came over and helped since the line if 3 became 6 and the entrance door opens with cold cold air. Service is nice and friendly, the turnaround took around 7-10mins since I only see 2 fronts staffs and 1 or 2 in back. The place had small seating area in the corner looking through the Main Street or the other side w/ the coffee shop overlooking the parking. Overall, it was okey bánh mì and good service in a cute store.

The bánh mì is good. Lots of cilantro in it. I'm not a cilantro person. But that's just personal preference... I remove some of it, it's perfect. I like this place. Wish the drink was less sweet. Also had a cilantro taste at the end for some reason, didn't like that Pork banh mi: 9.5/10 Winter melon oolong: 7/10

I love bahn mi sandwiches and this place didnt disappoint me. Loved their drinks too. Must go

The addition of Trung Nguyên Legend coffee is a glow up for the store. Although it does not pop up on Google maps and should probably be done so if more coffee sales are desired. New seating and very good viet coffee, but a lil pricey. Sandwiches are good as always. One star off as floors are always dirty here. Keep the floor clean of food debris should be a priority here to maintain the vibe.

Bright space with limited seating. Fast and friendly service. Shopping complex could get crowded; so, it may be hard to find parking on weekends. Pork Bánh mi was great. Fresh vegetables inside and crisp bread.

Fantastic quick spot for banh mi sandwiches! Food: we got two banh mi sandwiches, one pork, the other pork belly. The flavor is so on point I wanted to eat more than one sandwich! The roll could have been a bit better (it tasted like they were bought at a grocery store and then toasted). The price here is fantastic - very cheap with quality ingredients! Milk tea: Not very rich and definitely recommend going somewhere else for your milk tea / boba Seating: limited seating indoors (definitely still socially distancing), and no dedicated seating outdoors

Their Vietnamese sandwiches aren't bad. It is decently sized with ample ingredients. In terms of taste, it was only meh. We had much better Vietnamese sandwiches at other cafes in San Jose. I did enjoy the durian shake with added jelly. In terms of service, it did take a while for them to make our sandwiches. The cashier was really busy. She jumped from collecting money, answering the phone and help make some of the sandwiches. She was nice but I had a hard time understanding what she was saying through her face mask and the plastic slit where we can hand her the cash. It felt like I was at a gas station. I had no idea what she was saying to me nor could she ring my order up correctly. They could really use one of those electronic screens like at a supermarket checkout where the customer can see what they ordered.

Great sandwich fresh baguette made daily in the morning and lunch is the best time while the bread is still fresh I reccomend the #1 grilled pork... the jalapeno they put in the sandwich is spicy so watch out...

We were barhopping in San Jose and happened to come across SP2 Communal Bar + Restaurant, so we decided to walk in—and I’m glad we did. The place was nicely decorated with Christmas decorations, giving it a really festive and welcoming vibe. They also had some cool holiday drinks, especially one that came in a National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation eggnog moose cup, which was awesome and nostalgic. Another drink came in a fun lightbulb-shaped cup, which was a nice touch. Overall, it’s definitely a great spot to check out, and the drinks were pretty good too. Would for sure stop by again. 🍹🎄

Great spacious bar away from the crowd of the main dtsj strip. High quality food. Good servers good people. Some of the bartenders are rude not very friendly. Overall great places. Good dj with lives music on weekends. Clean. Small bathroom long lines.

My recent dinner at SP2 was quite a positive experience. Yummy food with beautiful presentation, great cocktails, excellent service, and good scene. I also like its space, both inside and the courtyard.

I think it comes down to taste preference and what you're used to. I got the grilled pork bahn mi, which I get everywhere. They make it different here. Their marinade is more sweet than what I'm used to and the texture was soft, like it was tenderized. The bread was great (but not better bread than other sandwich shops), and the veggie fillings pretty good. Little sweet. Little spicy. Service was ok; they were relatively fast considering how busy they are. Kiosk ordering was too slow. The restaurant itself is clean and kind of semi modern. Places to sit to eat, as well as sit to wait. I notice they also have those green waffles which I think I'll try next time; wasn't that hungry this time.

The place is generally very happening every time I have passed by so finally tried it. I do not appreciate that they make their waitresses wear skimpy clothes, especially more so in the winter. Like why!? You will do just fine with having them warmly dressed. I would give this place a 5 star if not for this. I did love the cocktail I got, it was a coffee one and so good. There was a huge block of ice in the middle and then the drink around it. So no ice chunks weirdly coming in your mouth, and the drink was so smooth and tasty!

Jocelyn Hernandez

Consider this place more of a bar than a restaurant. Place was simple but cute. Had an open floor concept to it. Food: it was okay. Not the best, but it wasn’t the worst. Cocktails were well made. They delivered what and how they needed to deliver! 🙃 Service: Super friendly staff! However, cleaning the kitchen (spraying, wiping, brooming, mopping, etc) while still cooking food orders cannot be sanitary!!!! 🫠 Ambience: DJ was on point! Definitely would go back on a late spring or summer day/night just for cocktails. Parking: available either in nearby structures or meter street parking.

Overall: SP2 hasn't change since my colleges years, which was a very long time ago. The food is average. The atmosphere is good and it's located next to San Pedro Square. We had a large group, which they accommodated. We went on Cinco De Mayo. The had a mariachi band playing live music until 7pm. Crowd seem pretty slow for a holiday. Food: Linguine was not that good. The pasta tasted overcooked. The sauce was average. For the price you pay, I expected better. Hot wings were good here. Flavorful, but not convenient to eat. Probably the best dish I had at the restaurant. The Brussel sprouts were overcooked for us. They also overseason it. I assume it's a hit or miss as others have told me it was good. Take your chances ordering it. The ribs rely heavily on their sauce. I thought the ribs were okay. My friends weren't too pleased with them. Drinks: Sangria was delicious and easy to drink here. Probably their best tasting drink here. Service: Service was very slow here. I had to get my own plates and cutlery since the workers were too busy talking to each other. I wasn't offered water at anytime. When I was able to get an order of food, that's when the service was better. They were able to get the order in and brought to me. Ambience: The restaurant feels more like a club than a restaurant. The room was dark and neutral. Seats were pretty much bar style. They weren't that comfortable. The main focus seems to be the bar.

Sandwiches are too sweet! I ordered 2 kinds of sandwich, both are so sweet. One of them is pork BBQ, OMG! feel like I am eating a dessert cake. Cashier is just fine, doesn’t smile nor wants to welcome customer. Only 1 positive point is they accept credit/debit card.

Had planned to enjoy Friday evening with friends out, but due to a large group celebrating a birthday, despite having reservations, we ended up in corner seats, which wasn't very enjoyable. The food was way below average . Coming to parking there were many street parking available 5-10min walking distance.

Prajakta Chavan

Don't bother to go here! Our brunch experience was horrible. Where do I start! We were given dinner menu first despite confirming about the menu. Service is super slow, our orders weren't taken for the longest time. The waitress forgot to get our mains. Food lacked seasoning and tasted bland. I would definitely not recommend this place to anyone.

Food was okay. I'm disappointed in the quality. I used to come here nearly every week. The oysters were flavorless. The ribs... What happened?!? I used to order 2-3 servings if these to take home. The pork belly was disappointing. The burrata and beet salad were the best part. Chicken wings were cooked perfectly. I enjoyed the smokey chili rub. The worst part? It took HALF AN HOUR to get the bill. I wish I were exaggerating. Never again.

So disappointed hard to see my meat on the sandwiches for $7.50 and like I am eating veggie sandwich.

The sandwiches here really are great, but the customer service is atrocious. We ordered 40 sandwiches from them, the quality and consistency was not there. We come almost every week for their sandwiches, but if you order in bulk or catering, beware and go somewhere else. The quality is not the same, this small shop cannot handle large orders, some sandwiches remain consistent with their standards but most were under par or substandard. They skimp on ingredients, especially the meat, there were definitely less meat in most of our order, the grilled pork and pork belly orders barely had 4 small pieces in each sandwich, my guests all complained and showed us their sandwiches to verify. The first time we called to request for a manager to complain, they hung up on us, after repeated calls the manager finally answered, she stated she will investigate the incident and notify her staff. The shop is great for small lunch orders but don't ever place large orders here, you will get minimal ingredients for the same price.

I waited over 40 minutes for a drink, and when I asked to speak to a manager about the service, I was assaulted by security instead and dragged out. He proceeded to drag me by my skirt revealing my private parts to the whole club. I’m not sure how this is legal. This place needs to be shut down. They delete security footage if you try to pursue a case. I was assaulted and I’ve heard many other stories of people having the same experience

Hailey Belle

Terrible experience everybody that works here is extremely unfriendly. You’re better off going to another establishment nearby if you’re looking to have a good time. The security guards will push you around and have a very strange way of doing their job and just being violent towards everyone if it’s crowded. Never had a good time here. Would not return.

Chelsey Corral

I’m not even sure how this place deserves a one star 🤦🏻‍♀️. Paid over 2k for bottle service to celebrate my sister in laws birthday. We were told we can go out to change clothes and come back as long as we had a stamp. Came back 5 mins later and was told my husband and I could not come back in due to the “manager” saying we could not re-enter I said there must be some misunderstanding and asked to please speak to the manager and the security was so rude (one with ponytail and septum piercing). We were told to leave and come back another time! Completely ridiculous! Definitely bring your service elsewhere!
