CA · Worth It score ranking

Best value restaurants in San Jose.

Not cheapest. Best quality per pound. Harry's Worth It Score measures whether a restaurant earns what it charges — the gap between how good it is and how much it costs you to find out.

The Worth It Score

What it measures.

Great Value	Quietly excellent for the money. Bring everyone.
Smart Spend	A grown-up dinner that doesn't shake you down.
Solid Pick	Fair price, decent food. Gets you fed without fuss.
Cheap but Cheerful	Not fancy, doesn't pretend to be. Walk out with change.

Worth It is a weighted blend of satisfaction, uniqueness, fairness, and hype risk — capped so a place can never score higher on Worth It than on Harry's overall quality score. Full methodology →
