Gombei

193 Jackson St, San Jose
View WebsiteEarn 3X Points

This Japantown restaurant is our go-to for comforting dishes like tangy teriyakis, breaded cutlets, and savory udons. Don’t expect any overly involved presentations—Gombei’s real strength is its simplicity. Even the space is pretty bare bones, with just a handful of tables that are easier to snag at lunchtime than during dinner hours.
