A go-to place for lunch or dinner. Really awesome cuisine, fresh, balanced and well executed. Been there many times and it never disappoints.

Delicious and creative food. Nice open atmosphere. Good service. However, the website says that the restaurant opens at 5:30pm, but we had to wait outside until 6pm since they were “running late”.

I had lunch delivered for two and requested the Pad Thai to be extra spicy. It was not spicy at all so I called to tell them. Instead of offering to send one like I ordered, sending spice, offering a discount, or even apologizing, the...manager explained that it’s not their fault and there’s nothing they can do because it’s a malfunction with the Uber App they’re using. I’m not sure what kid of a business they are running, but this is not what a legitimate restaurant does. If it is a problem with the app they’re using then that’s for them to figure out and not for me to pay for. If I’m paying $50 for a lunch, they may want to sell me what I ordered, and if they screw that up, don’t blame it on an app, fix the problem. Needless to say I’m not going back, I’ll tell people to avoid the place, and I’ll give negative reviews on more sites.More

This is an undiscovered gem…. My wife and I lived for 6 years in SE Asia and Gallo Rojo serves the most authentic and eclectic mix of fusion Asian food. I had a FANTASTIC Cha Ca. It looks like a fast food joint but the...food is exceptional. And I ama a fussy reviewer. The best restaurant in San Jose? Seriously. Under rated. Full stop.More

A very good first impression. The food was tasty and the space was clean and comfortable. We ordered the Dorado fish and the chicken curry. Both were delicious and the presentation was excellent. The fusion flavors with Asian cuisine is unexpectedly delicious.

Having lived in Asia for many years, we were pleased to find a restaurant in the San Jose area that featured dishes from different Asian countries. The four adults in our group each ordered a different meal, and each was pleased with their choice. One...ordered a large ramen soup type dish with veggies, noodles, hard boiled egg, pork belly, etc., and loved it. I had the ginger panko chicken with tempura vegetables and enjoyed that, though I would have liked even more of the vegetables. The other choices were a chicken/rice dish and a beef dish called Bo Luc Lac, that was delicious. The beef was tender and flavorful. The children ordered chicken fingers from a kiddie menu. The service was excellent and the ambience upstairs very pleasant. We go to Costa Rica every year and this is one of the very good restaurants we've tried there.More

It's a nice place to experience dishes from different parts of the world. All four of us found the appetizers to be more interesting and tastier than the main courses. They told us their menu changes every four months. The service is excellent and the...waitresses really know what every dish consists of. I would definitely give it another chance to really get into my senses.More
