“ This is my favorite Pho place in San Jose. Excellent broth, quality ingredients. My children don't do "soup", but they love the rice and chicken dishes we've tried. Quick and friendly service. Offers Door Dash, and regular takeout is never more than a 5 minute wait for in-shop orders. GREAT location off of the expressway. Easy to hit on the way home. Excellent! ”
“ Excellent food. I tried the veggie tofu spring roll and it was really good. Served with peanut sauce. Usually some places have the sweet sauce but they didn’t have it here. But very affordable and tasty food too.. ”
“ Great tasting food all the time. Pho and rice plates are consistently good. Relatively fast service. Family loves this place and we go here often. Good options for vegetarians as well... ”
“ My boyfriend and I are regulars here. The pho is delicious and the wait staff are friendly and attentive. The only downside is that there is no AC, so with hot soup and CA weather it can get a little warm inside. ”
“ Fam members did the challenge while we ate egg rolls and bhan mi beef (everything was delicious) .. whole challenge bowl is 45, which is really worth it especially if you love beef. Staffs were really nice and accommodating. ”
“ The pho broth is delicious very well balanced... the owner is a nice. They also do a pho challenge here which is awesome!! ”
“ Passed by here many times, finally stopped in for dinner. The soup in the pho is really good! I like the peanut sauce for the spring rolls here better than most and the staff treats you like friends. Very easy to chat with and spark up a conversation or two... the other patrons were just as friendly. I'm definitely coming back here... ALSO, they have a food menu challenge item!!! Not that I'm a glutton, but I'll be bringing family and friends in just to partake in the challenge! ”
“ I'm not a pho expert but I know that my taste buds like to eat here. The interior is ok, looks clean. The staff is usually nice. I believe it's a family owned restaurant so they aren't very cautious of how they act; swearing and talking about personal life in main area where consumers can hear. I mean I dont care all that much but some people might, especially when kids are around. I do come here often, so I'd say it's a must try kind of place. It's in an area with a few other stores but parking is usually still good. ”
