District Seven Kitchen - San Jose

Great food. Highly recommend the saltado filet mignon.

Great food, service, and atmosphere. The food is amazing. We came with a large group and ordered family style. Every dish was absolutely delicious.

It's hot today! Outside it was 83°f, inside the restaurant it was 85°f. I was sweating towards the end of our dinner. Btw, their water tastes bad like the regular San Jase tap water. The front door was left open and there was a fly hovering around our table. Food flavor was OK, nothing special. The filet mignon were tough and the peices were not uniformly cooked, as some were raw in the middle, some were over cooked. The pandon rice was new to me and it tasted good. The egg over the ricewas nearly burnt though. The lamb chops was also not cooked evenly. I did not have any fries as they looked greesy and soggy, but others seemed to enjoy them. The sauce for the meat dishes was better than the othe Vietnamese restaurants I've been to, it's a bit like pesto with mayonnaise. Crab noodle was okay. No complaints about the service. Overall I guess it was just too hot for me to enjoy our dinner. I just couldn't wait the leave the place.

I didn’t think I would love it this much, but I do! I went with a friend on a Saturday night for dinner. First off, the service was superb, just so warm and welcoming. I believe our server’s name was Coco. I’m so sorry if I got her name wrong, I went in so tired and hungry, and I only caught her name once. But with the kind of good service, you would know it was her.That said, we ordered the soft shelled crab spring rolls and Lomo Saltado, with an order of pandan garlic rice. The portion was not, at first glance, what we usually get as “family style”, but it was enough for two people who were moderately to, at least one of us, very hungry ? and we had some Lomo Saltado and pandan garlic rice to go.The star of these orders was the flavors and texture. The soft shelled crab spring rolls were so fresh and refreshing. The sauce accompanied the flavors just right. And the spring rolls themselves had really well-balanced flavor palette and well-assembled texture of ingredients. Nothing too crunchy or too pungent, just light enough to intrigue you for a good meal.The Lomo Saltado with the pandan garlic rice were such a good combination, that’s a proud choice of pairing on our part; though now I’m curious about other dishes. The texture of the beef tenderloin in Lomo Saltado was so soft but still maintained the bounciness and juice of freshness. The flavor, let me tell you about the flavor, was perfectly savory with a hint of smoke. And the black pepper just added the perfect kick to wrap up a nice aftertaste.Then there is the pandan garlic rice, just an uplifting flavor that you wouldn’t expect too much of from a garlicky dish. With the garlic, of course the fragrance was strong, but the pandan added a nice lift to the flavor that makes you think of the sweet coconut rice and aromatic jasmine rice, but adding a nutty, almost herbal flavor to it. Nothing was left feeling heavy or salty which is such a wonderful feeling to have after a meal.My friend said she would come back, I think I will, too. Though I don’t frequent this area, I’m glad to have tried a good restaurant in it! Highly recommend!

I recently dined here, at D7 kitchen with my friends, and I must say the food was absolutely delicious. I savored every bite and cleaned my plate. The owner of the restaurant was incredibly hospitable, and the ambiance was fantastic. I would highly recommend this place to others. Five-star rating!
