Gombei in San Jose JapanTown




My family has been going to Gombei in San Jose Japantown ever since I was a baby. Rightfully so, we went together as a family and ate my last meal there before I departed for Washington DC.


This Restaurant is very classic, and has not changed its menu since it first opened. They believe in the motto "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". They have never expanded their interior size either, and that is why there's anyways a wait to get a table because the place is so small and cozy.


My Usual Dinner entrée is the Gombei, and i usually choose a combination of the Port cutlet with croquet and broiled boneless mackerel. The pork cutlet is very lean meat, fried and breaded to perfection. The croquet is fried vegetable potato mixture with slight curry flavor and is an accompanied with a fried piece of crab meat. Last but not least the Mackerel fish is so succulent and delicious. The broiled flavor is smoked and the meat is cooked well done but the meat is so fatty and juicy that the fish is tender on the inside but crunchy on the outside. The meal also comes with a salad and their famous homemade dressing. Of course this meal would not be complete without white rice soy sauce and their signature orange slice!


I'm Literally missing home looking at this wonderful meal which i devoured 2 months ago! *Sigh*
