Need some help. Don't know jack about San Jose

So my husband and I finally have the chance to watch a game at HP Pavilion. We're going to the game against the Dallas Stars on March 25th. The one problem with all of this is we don't know jack about San Jose. Does anyone have any suggestions of a good place to eat that is cheap and has vegetarian options? Last time I went to a game (Avalanche game conference semifinals) I couldn't afford damn near anything at the tank, so this time I want to be prepared and actually eat more than just fries.

SJ Veggie.
There is a kick ass vegan cafe near the tank called Good Karma. About a 10 minute walk.
Good Karma
37 South 1st Street
San Jose, CA 95113
(408) 294-2694
jatbar hasn’t done me wrong yet.
That’s the San Jose list. You’ll have to scroll through it for the vegetarian options, but they’re there. One of the reviewers is vegetarian.

Vegetarian House
is on Santa Clara St. (same as HP), but cross street is around 8th St. or so (not really walkable). Mostly Asian style fare, but the stuff here is good. The food is similar to how some Buddhist sects’ cuisines attempt to imitate meat, so I’m not sure if it’ll be up your alley, but as an omnivore, I thought it was pretty good. Full disclosure though, the place has some quasi-religious propaganda going on, but they only advertise, not proselytize. If you can ignore that, it’s good enough that I would even recommend it to non-vegetarians.
Puck Daddy: You would definitely hate the Ducks more than you'd hate the Kings, right?
Joe Pavelski: Yeah, definitely.
I’m not a vegetarian, and I LOVE the Vegetarian House. Always good, even if it can be a little salty (like most asian food can be).
And as far as the religious propaganda, I’ve been there about 10 times and haven’t noticed it. I bet I will now, though!

You never noticed the constant video from the “supreme master”? There is now a billboard on the 880 southbound, just north of 101 advertising this. If either of you think their food is good, you MUST go to Tofoo Com Chay at Santa Clara and 10th. It’s a tiny hole-in-the-wall with about 4 tables, but it’s soooo good. The people that work there are really nice and they have pho!

Since I work in DTSJ, I also am familiar with Tofu Com Chay, and I like that even better. Would rather go to DaLat for pho, but Com Chay aint bad.

OOPS
fail…good veggie Pho is in Mountain View “The Best Pho” or whatever off of El Camino and Showers? That’s real Vegetarian. You have to be very careful with ‘vegetarian’ pho..some Vietnamese people understand that as just veggies, noodles and broth that is made with beef stock so not quite vegetarian….DaLat is not vegetarian.
Sorry I got mixed up there’s another place called DiLac near Evergreen that’s a full Vegetarian house monk style. But yes lots of SJSU peeps rave about Tofoo Com Chay on 9th and Santa Clara best tasting ‘meat substitute’?

I like DiLac’s soups, but everything else is just okay. Apparently one of my students mother is a waitress there, but wouldn’t tell me which one (there are two, I guess).

its in the little plaza off of 101 at Capitol and Yerba Buena…where the old Hollywood Video use to be and YUMMY BUFFET! LOL. My parents go there when they have to eat vegetarian…its the Bees Knees according to dad.

DaLat is known for it’s Hu Tieu, a chicken-tofu soup with shrimp and a crab claw. People who know what’s up get it dry, noodles tossed in fish sauce, with the broth on the side.
It’s number 45 on the menu (see how many times I’ve been there?), or a number 46 if you want the DaLat Special (more fish and a spicier sauce).
Springrolls (fresh, not fried), are good as well.

All the Pho places that you’ve been to are really good. I normally eat at Pho Tau Bay cause its close…Pho Y has deep brothy beefy goodness in flavor mmmmmm hahaha and Pho Bang gives you a lot of noodles and meat and pretty much overflows out of the Pho bucket you get. Can’t go wrong eating Pho in ESJ.

Do you like Paloma in the Vietnamese Mall? Good Mac & Beef, great seafood soup. More of a restaurant feel than the others.
I LOVE the Vietnamese Mall. Thai Lover (a janky foodcourt place in there) has easily, hands down, the best Pad Thai in San Jose. Bankok Spicy Noodle is awesome, as well.
BTW, no I am not Vietnamese… I’m Italian/Russian. If I want that food I usually make it myself, so when I go out I like to have stuff that I can’t make at home.

I know you’re not Vietnamese I’ve met you already hahaha! Are you freaking serious about the Vietnamese mall aka Grand Century?? Damn you are so much braver than I dude…I’ll never drive that part of town unless my parents are threatening a lashing….Paloma is good and yes you’re right its ‘fancier’ but if you wanna get down and dirty with authentic Vietnamese food you gotta eat at the stalls! Theres this one stall next to the dessert stall near the end…theres these like soft rice cakes in mini bowls with little shrimp sprinkles green onions a little chicharones (banh bo chen) you dip it in spicy fish sauce mmmm….yes. Its like the texture of raw oysters but A. you chew and B. no fish funk. YOu should be my parent’s kid…you’ll fit in just fine. :) They like you better than me already hahahha

Has anyone eaten Pho Kim Long near the Great Mall? My favorite Pho place for sure.
totally didn’t expect to find another Vietnamese person here that’s cool bud! Two peeps from the mother land LOL…though I don’t think I count I’m more like banana than anything else plus I was born here.

Yuuup. Grew up around that area so I’m very familiar with that establishment – good pho, but service is another issue…
Personally, I’m a fan of Pho 54 on Alum Rock. Prefer this more than PKL or Pho Y, but parking is a biiiiitch.

Amici's East Coast Pizzeria
Has plenty of vegetarian pizza options, including a really good soy-cheese pizza (pretty sure it’s vegan, although it doesn’t advertise as such – could be something in the crust). For the rest of youz – don’t knock it until you’ve tried it.

sadly nowhere near downtown, I think it’s in Sunnyvale actually, but Merit’s got a decent selection of all veggies fare. Some vegan, so not. They have veggie pho full of gluten and goodness. (if you aren’t allergic to wheat, anyway)

Just for the sake of clarity
We’re not looking for hyper-veggie-options; the lovely ZombieSkittles is an ovo-lacto vegetarian, and I am not any sort of restricted at this time (though I’ve spent a few two- to three-year stints as a vegetarian as well).
Also, recommendations for Vietnamese and/or Thai will get you everywhere. There’s one good Thai place, and no good Vietnamese, that we’ve found up here — a damn good Indian restaurant, though, and some other local favorites (the Sierra Nevada taproom comes to mind).
Only good thai place I know of isn’t within walking distance of the tank :s

I foresee that when this conversation is discovered by Skittles, I’ll be shortly thereafter agreeing to (at least) one of the Vietnamese restaurants named above. She’s rather a fan of most Asian cooking styles, and is, in fact, on her way back home at this very moment with Chinese take-out.
We’ll probably be in SJ for a few days (I have family in the area, so we’re making a weekend of it), so it’s entirely possible we’ll hit several of ‘em. I’m certainly not complaining … ;-)
well definitely have fun!!! And again sorry for hijacking your thread.

I just realized that the first 5 letters in your username is ms (for ms) and sjs (for San Jose Sharks) followed by a misspelled Clowe. I always seemed to group the mss and js separately for some reason.
hahaha initially it was supposed to be SJSClowie29; Clowe isn’t misspelled that’s his nickname from the mouth of McClellan…but then I decided people might be nicer to me if they knew I was a girl and excuse my ‘siliness’ and non hockey technical knowledge. ;)

I probably should have put a gender identifier in my username, since apparently obscure Grey’s Anatomy references just don’t cut it anymore.
I remember when I posted an audio file of me doing something that slightly resembles singing (don’t look for it), and people were like, “You’re a girl?!?!” Ahh, the consequences of having a gender-neutral username.

Yeah, my stats are just a result of obsessive Googling and a memory for strange and pointless facts. If you ran into me two years ago, I’d have trouble telling you who is on the Sharks roster, much less other players around the league. Summers with nothing to do makes it easier to really learn hockey.
And yes, Grey’s Anatomy is awesome. It has definitely gone through low points (see: the George/Izzie relationship), but it is definitely rebounding.

There are a lot of places here in Chico that are all about scrapbooking, but every time I go into one of those places I become overwhelmed by the colors and themes lol. I do most things digitally myself too. Me and my husband have been working on our own family website, but i’ve been missing the good old fashioned cut and paste paper artwork. Currently my problem with doing his baby book is the fact that i’ve stalled 2 years already, and I have no clue where to start. I have 3D pics of him from when he was in my stomach, and pictures galore, but I don’t have those “special” memories of when I was pregnant or the weekly update of when he was born…

don’t regret it because you didn’t have pictures of your burgeoning belly or ‘special’ moments start from the beginning.

Chronologically is best and so you’re less overwhelmed and if you decide to have number 2 :D you can remember to at least decorate your tummy once LOL! Pumpkin?
