Thank you for a perfect Saturday evening. The Hoagie was super amazing.
From the time I walked in, I was welcomed and assisted to choose the best Hoagie. The gentleman at the door and the counter were very polite, and chef is remarkably friendly.
After a short walk home, I ate half the hoagie, rest I ate after smoking the cigar and the 30 and 40 yr old porto. The flavors bursted in my mouth from the first bite. The bread perfectly compliments the meat, all the spices, and the beautiful juices.
I paired the half of the hoagie with a 10 and a 20 yr old Quinta Das Carvalhas. The 10yr old porto made the salt dominant, but the bread equalizes the flavor (maybe next time I will ask for less salt). The 20 yr old porto is the perfect combination, she makes the flavors sweeter and creamy, my tongue savored the flavors and made my mouth water, only wanting more.
Lighting a beautiful Cabaiguan after the hoagie only accentuated the flavors, and enhanced the smoke to perfection, along with a 30 and 40 yr porto and reading an amazing book.
Thank you Hoagie Steak Out for making this one of the best Saturday evenings, I would love to try you rice bowls...
ย ย ย Read moreThis is a pretty good sandwich. They put their own twist on a classic, and just about pull it off.
Since it's close to SJSU, it gets good traffic. It's an old victorian, beautiful outside, kind of outdated on the inside. We always order to go, so don't stay long.
Food is ok. I do wish they made just an old fashioned cheese steak as I remember, steak, bell peppers, onions, cheese, I don't even think there was mayo on it. But they don't.
They do offer a sandwich called the Superman which comes close. I do have to give Kudos to the hoaggie rolls. Even slightly toasted the rolls are super soft and yummy.
Also want to give a shout out to the kids behind the counter. My bad for not asking names, but they were very welcoming and prepared food quickly and with a smile and kindness.
We will be...
ย ย ย Read moreGreat food near San Jose State University.
Part of a row of restaurants catering to the college crowd, this place offers a combination of several "philly cheese steak" type sandwiches, named after various movies for some reason. And Korean-ish things. I had the "gangnam bowl" which was spicy pork, kim chee, a little salad, and of course white rice. It was good! The kim chee was less spicy than my regular brand so, probably just about right. It had good flavor.
Although this place seems to have almost no presence on Google, it deserves to. There's only so much pizza, "Mexican" and hamburgers/hot dogs you can eat. This place has been in business for years, and is well worth a visit. Prices range from $12-$14 for a large dish, to many snack type things in the...
