SoFA Market

Very clean bathrooms! Almost nicer than the rest of the place. Good variety of food.

It's different. I was looking for a salad place and I found that there are many different places wrapped up in one. There is Latin food - sushi - and a bar area. We ate at the fist place when walking in. It was Brazilian ?? Or Latin ? Soo good . I don't know what I had but it was a lot of bread in a sandwhich - the bread was soft and the chicken was spicy. I will be back. Sadly I don't know the name - it's Al soon as you walk in the very first stall. Just say yes.

Date: Wednesday, June 19th, 2024Time: around 3pmWhat: Food and DrinksA friend and I stumbled upon SoFa Market when we were walking around downtown last week. Couldn't quite tell what it was until we went inside. A food hall?! Why yes please! Luckily they have a bar in the back since our real intention was to get our drank on.We initially went to The Fountainhead for drinks. My friend explored the food options and ended up grabbing a few things from Hermanos Mexican Grill. He brought the food to the bar and we ate it there.Not a lot of options open before 4pm for drinks, so glad we discovered this spot.REVIEW #3471

Chanced upon this spot after watching a show nearby at the California Theater. The simplest way to describe it would be it's a food court but much nicer and much better food than you would expect from a typical food court. There are a lot of great options and we settled on Vietnoms which I would highly recommend by the way. There is a small patio in the back which was nice where we ate the food and chatted with some of the other patrons.

First time visiting this market. A lot of options. I didn't have to wait a long time for my food. I went on a Tuesday afternoon it wasn't busy at all. The staff was friendly.

After being a San Pedro Square fan, it is nice to find a similar-level food court nearby. The ambiance is nice inside and there is a good variety of cuisines. There is a cute open-air patio in the back. It's very clean, modern, and safe. I've come twice now for the Drag Brunch, which is fun, but they run out of seating, even if you come early. I wish they had more seating to accommodate for the popularity of drag brunch, or they put a limit on how many seats one person can reserve for their friends. The food is great, although it can be slow on Drag Brunch days. There is an easily walkable ParkSJ parking lot nearby, which is quite cheap. Will definitely be back.

SoFA Market is a food hall of sorts with a collection of individual vendors that offer non-overlapping fare, such as Mexican fare, pizza, cuban, Vietnamese, and Japanese. There is some community seating at the front entrance and overall, ordering is either done at a kiosk or with a cashier. About a month ago I was here with some friends and I sampled a few offerings, such as their Margherita pizza, Nachos, fries, and tacos. Overall, this food market is solid option, especially if your group is craving variety, and when you're in this part of downtown San Jose(S. 1st street between San Carlos and E San Salvador St). All of the vendors I spoke to were friendly and welcoming.

It's a market full of great restaurants. They have so many options for food - Mexican, Japanese, Vietnamese, Indian, you name it. Great place to come if your group hasn't settled on what cuisine to eat. They have both indoor and outside seating. Most restaurants have you order by kiosk.

If I could give it six stars, I would.Instant Europe vibes. Lots of options. Tons of seating. Super clean. Super safe. It says if I walked out of downtown San Jose into a dimension with itself. No cap.The first time I came here with friends after Climbing, it was the ultimate experience. It is literally across the street from the Climbing gym, which makes it not only convenient in terms of having food nearby but also just the perfect chill experience after getting really active. There's pizza. There's sushi. There's Indian food. There is Mexican food. There's Vietnamese food. There are literally a ton of choices. Ordering is the easiest ever. Every spot has a touchscreen order situation. And it alerts my phone as soon as my order is ready. I can sit anywhere in the entire area and know that my food is ready. One time I actually got pizza and sushi at the same time. It was epic. 100% coming back repeatedly.

This review is for a specific restaurant inside called Sabor a la Nuestro. Came on a Sunday around 1 pm and the place was lively. I was craving some type of toast and saw that they offered an avocado toast. Every restaurant has a kiosk to order from but beware!!!! Photos are NOT what the food looks like. Maybe it's not this restaurants fault since I was toldBy another restaurant that the company the kiosk is bought from chooses the photos for them (not sure how accurate that is). Anyway, I ordered the avocado toast off of the kiosk and as you can see from the photos, it looked completely different. I asked the little girl working (who was probably about 15 yrs old) if I can exchange this for 1 of their breakfast sandwiches since it looked nothing like the photo. She translated the message to her mom and came back to me and said please show me the photo. She went to the kiosk and told me i don't really see a difference. And you cannot get the breakfast sandwich because it is only served in the morning (which is weird because the kiosk states the avocado toast is also a breakfast item). So I said ok, could you please refund me since I cannot exchange this for a sandwich? In which, I do have to give credit that they refunded me for my toast. Just beware of what you purchase in there and on those kiosks! I learned to ask if the food will look like the photo so I won't be mislead moving forward. It looks amazing on the kiosk when you order it, but may not look like what you paid for! Some of these food places and items are overpriced for mediocre food. The second star is only for the ambience. It's always nice walking in there & sitting towards the back of the food hall where the bar is.
