Gombei - San Jose, CA

Where to go for lunch when your job or your boss is stressing you out before noon?

My first choice will be Gombei in San Jose Japan town. They have the regular menu and the "secret" specials on the white board that changes daily. Of course I usually don't go with any of my co-worker to this restaurant since it's my stress-free comfort place to eat.

Here is more about them:

Gombei attracts more Japanese nationals than any other Japanese restaurant in Nihonmachi. Gombei unofficially caters to the homesick business traveler, offering comforting foods arranged in a way that looks like home: pickled vegetables in a side cart, chawan of rice, cup of tea and fish broth. Non-Japanese are attracted by the hearty curry dishes and bento boxes that don't skimp. The lines start to overflow onto the sidewalk at about 11:30am, so get there early or bring extra quarters for parking, as one recent couple paying a visit unwittingly found out.
193 E. Jackson St., San Jose (408/279-4311)
