Hotspot Cafe San Jose Reviews
Amazing spot! The food at Nha HotPot is incredibly delicious just like homemade. Especially the Bún Bò Huế, it’s my favorite! This is my third time here and I always leave fully satisfied. The girls working here are super kind, always smiling, and beautiful too :) It’s a great place to grab a coffee, chill alone or with friends, watch sports, or enjoy some music. If you’re reading this, I totally recommend you stop by. Hãy đến Nha Hotpot để thưởng thức và thư giãn nhé 🧋🧉🥡
Nice place to hang out with friends for drinks and snack. Parking is excellent. Place look clean. Do recommend it.
Bò lúc lắc big portion and very delicious! With some side snacks and coconut smoothie Expresso shot. 😋

Always clean with consistently good quality drinks and food. A lot of TVs, nice atmosphere to watch sports. Bottled beer. Plenty of room for your party.
Friendly service and the food is surprisingly good for a coffee shop.
This place is always changing owners but the food has so far stayed consistently good. The buenbahoi and bunsao are really good. I know I butchered the spelling of the two dishes spelled them how they sounded to me a round eye. Lol
Beautiful women, good food and fast service. This is the place to spend some time relaxing with friends or watching sports.
Feels like home away from home. A down to earth place, Banh mi special 🔥.. Gai. Nghi, Mai, Ta, another Nghi. They know how to make you feel welcomed. I don't go anywhere else.
Excellent Vietnamese and asian fusion food. Staff is very friendly and engaging. As long as it is not too busy, they would be happy to chat with you on a variety of topics. Fun place to hang out when there is a sports game on, or even to do some work outside of office. A variety of drink options too, and they are constantly upgrading their offerings.
A pleasant spot overall with a friendly feel and steady service. Things are kept neat and organized, and it generally meets expectations. While there’s room for small improvements, the overall experience is positive and dependable.
Nha Hotspot is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by the sweetest and most welcoming staff — they truly make you feel like family. Their warmth and genuine friendliness create such a comforting atmosphere. The space itself is spotless and well cared for, with a clean, non-smoking environment that makes it even more inviting. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick visit or staying a while, Nha Hotspot is the perfect place to hang out and enjoy great vibes. Highly recommend! Oh, did I forget to mention the ladies dress in sexy outfit while doing so? I would categorize this as an upscale Vietnamese coffee/lounge restaurant.

Visit after remodel on 8/5/23: They now have cleaner looks and a huge screen. Everything still has familiar but new looks plus the 100+" screen. I guess they wanted the big screen to show multiple games at the same time. But when the house is packed, only the top half of screen is viewable from the back. Maybe they charge more for tables in the front? Who knows? Good place to watch sports with friends. Many flat screens and space is relatively free from smoke. PG to R ratings for Viet coffee shops. Menu include coffee and some Viet fast food. Lots of parking. I went here for 2022 World Cup Final. Place is packed to the hilt. Lots of enthusiastic fans on both sides. Drums and horns were also present. Loads of fun. With the game going to penalty really upped the yelling and hollering but no violence. Just clean fun. Been here for 2 WC finals. Will come back again for next Final. Also this Final send to attract more ladies and few kids also.
Needed some coffee and was in the area waiting for a take out order to be ready. Google maps showed this place nearby. Despite the name, this is not really a cafe. It's a bit dark inside to accommodate all of the TV screens that surround the bar and restaurant area. Got two iced vietnamese coffees to go. Nice and strong, but more expensive than a tall iced latte at Starbucks. Cash only.
Nice relax Sunday coffee hangout place with friends. During Covid-19 SIP, they do provide outdoor patio in the back parking lot. Reasonable Vietnamese foods on the menu such as banh mi, beef stew...
Little nicer than some of the other places up there staff is pretty friendly they talk a little bit not a lot the other places they don't say one word I would go here if that's what you're looking for
Very good Vietnamese food and drinks , the ban mi sandwiches here are very fresh and better than most ban mi places! Good place watch sporting events Please note that the waitresses wear skimpy “hooters” type outfits Cash only last I checked

Same through here with some life friends to celebrate are buddies final night of bachelorhood. He's got kids but they were away for a bit and so we thought we would celebrate his freedom by heading over to a Vietnamese coffee shop. For Wednesday night this place was pretty sparse and the staff was about three nice ladies waiting on the patrons. The walls are lined all the way around with big screen TVs and a huge TV in the furthest back of the establishment. there are sitting tables to the left and a long bar to the right. The bar is where you'll want to sit on a slow night if you want to take in the sights. I had a sweet coffee which was so sweet that I had to water it down with complimentary iced teas at the house serves to all the patrons. It's exactly what it was advertised to be but still a bit too sweet for my taste. Overall the establishment appeared to be well-kept and the cramps I got of the food being prepared and the kitchen the back look to be legit and professional although I didn't try any of the food myself. Off of my one visit here I would not have an issue returning but I did not have enough of an experience to necessarily go out of my way to come back. But then again, this was just a Wednesday night. I imagine that the weekends are whole different kind of experience.
