• DoorDash order23andMe says I'm at least 33% German. I've never eaten German food, so I decided to try this place, since I live in San Jose. I ordered the Paprikagulasch mit Spätzle und Rotkohl and it's one of the best meals I've had in a long time. The sauce makes it very hearty. The meat is tender. I don't taste gristle at all. It's lean. I got about ~6 large chunks of meat. Imagine it as a really, really good Yankee Pot Roast.
However the sixth piece of meat tasted very different. Extremely rough. About as tough a piece of meat as I've ever seen. I'm not sure why it was there. All the other pieces of meat had obviously been slow cooked and were about as soft and tender as ice cream. Yet this piece was out of place, sort of like leaving in the bone. I can't see how they expected me to eat that, but maybe some of their customers like having at least a little bit of whatever that is.
The noodles and purple stuff were also great. Something about the noodles reminds me of my childhood, but I can't quite place my finger on it. They also appear to be hand made from scratch. You can't buy this off a Sysco truck and boil it in a bag. These San Jose Germans obviously take great pride in their craft. Look at the attention to detail in their photos. The glistening of the sauce. The lighting and the shadows.
I'll most definitely order again.

• DoorDash orderThe Schweinshaxe - Baked Pork Shank - mit Kartoffelsalat und Sauerkraut is a must buy! Delicious, fall off the bone and perfectly juicy. The portion really is HUGE, easily enough for three to four meals.
