At first glance, the restaurant may look sketchy and may look like a smoothie shop that sells banmi sandwiches because of the outdoor seating, but looks can be deceiving. This white tablecloth ambiance is the finest Vietnamese restaurant in the area! Absolutely a delicious experience, flavors were consistently but was not boring at all. Salty and umami to the gut!Presentation wise, stunning. Flavor combinations, not shy at all. The chef knows exactly what he’s doing and has a lot more potential if he so desires it. Perfect weekend restaurant because it’s not saturated with people, noise level is kept at a minimum. My only concerns were that there was only one server staffed for the evening, making it difficult for the server to talk about wine pairings with the food. Paying attention to detail was upheld but lost as more tables had to be attended. Thank you, chef, and I will be coming back for more!

I had the pleasure of dining at Elements, the Euro Asian restaurant, and it was an absolute delight! The appetizers were a tantalizing introduction to the culinary journey that awaited me. Each bite was a harmonious fusion of European and Asian flavors, leaving me eager for what was to come. However, the star of the show was undoubtedly the rack of lamb. It’s no exaggeration when I say it was the best I’ve ever had. Cooked to perfection, the lamb was tender, succulent, and packed with flavor that lingered on my taste buds. The skillful blending of ingredients truly showcased the restaurant’s commitment to culinary excellence.

The price for value here is off the charts, they could have charged double and I would have been happy, its that good. I’ve paid double for similar dishes and it was not as good. Get here fast because these folks are going to move out of this zip code quick…

My sea bass was cooked perfectly, very tender and tasty. The vegetables were good too. The roasted quail was also crunchy and flavorful.

Wonderful take on Asian French fine dining. Love the presentation of the food. The quail appetizer was nice little half birds cooked wonderfully so the skin was crisp like peking duck. The Paella was so delicious! The tea duck was also very good. Great restaurant

This place provided fresh taste sensations. Chef here knows his/ her sauces! The Salmon Wellington was done to perfection: wild salmon inside a toasty Wellington shell, over an airy & delicate lemon sauce. Balance btwn crust and fish showed a deft hand. Seafood Paella

Elements Vietnamese Restaurant didn’t disappoint. The calamari appetizer was cooked to perfection – tender, nearly melts in your mouth, and a sharp contrast from chewy calamari which is normally served at other restaurants. I ordered the salmon Wellington and it had my tastebuds singing. From the lemon beurre blanc sauce, the moist salmon, and the hearty vegetable medley which is all engulfed by a flaky cage shell, I didn’t want the experience to end. Then we finished our dinner with a mango panna cotta which was light, silky and delicious. My only regret is that we should’ve ordered 1 per person. I will definitely be back to Elements!

My parents have been huge fans of Elements for years but, since I lived in LA for 21 years & only moved back to SJ a few months ago, I finally had my 1st meal at Elements for my 40th birthday this past week & it was pure perfection. The impeccable service, delicious food, beautiful presentation, lovely decor & calming ambiance were absolutely incredible! It was a little slow because it was a Wednesday night, but that just made us feel like we had the whole place to ourselves. I sincerely hope they get a lot of takeout orders though ‘cuz I want them to get a ton of business ‘cuz they deserve to stay in business forever! Highly recommend
