Anh Hong Restaurant

We toured the shopping center and checked out all the offerings before deciding on this restaurant. We started out in the food court. It had what I was looking for, but it was dirty inside and you needed a code to the bathroom.When we entered this restaurant we first looked at the menu. The prices were the same as the food court and it was sit down service and no code to the bathroom needed and best of all it looked really clean.We placed our order and it shortly came out. I ordered the vermicelli noodle with bbq pork. It did not come out as expected. I thought it would be a dish of vermicelli noodles with a salad like base, bbq pork on top and an egg roll on top. Instead it was deconstructed. It came with a platter of cold vermicelli noodles and a platter of greens. You eat it like a lettuce wrap. You pull out a leaf of lettuce and put the vermicelli noodles on it with bbq pork and add the other greens inside. It was good, but I wouldn't order it again due to I was looking for a bowl dish. My husband ordered noodle soup with beef stew. I liked his better than mine. The flavor was perfect, flavorful and not spicy. The stew was perfectly cooked, very tender.I highly recommend this place versus the food court. They have plenty of tables, good food, and service. Very clean and nice and clean bathroom and good vibe.

Service is non-existence. Grabbed our own chairsMissed a drinkGave us a wrong drinkThe 7 course beef is so-so:3/5. The meaty ones were too sweet, not savory enoughz. The salad was ok. The porridge at end was good on a cold day.Would prefer not to be back.

Overpriced food and mediocre service. They need to hire more servers to handle peak hours. I think they either gave our order to another table or forgot about us. I asked about our order and they kept telling it's coming...took them 1.5 hour. We were so hungry we started eating rice paper. Then we asked for more rice paper and they totally ignored us. As for the food, it was a small fish that costs $65. We ordered bò lá lớp, $16 for 6 pieces. The owner is so arrogant. He knew they messed up with our order and not a single word of apology.Will definitely not coming back.

Particularly liked the beef sausage and congee. Plenty of food for $31 pp, very worth it. We dined late afternoon on a weekday so we were the only group. Service was fine, just kind of hard to get their attention.

Came here on a recommendation from a friend, except that friend was incredibly intoxicated while giving the recommendation so I'm pretty sure that this was the place they meant to recommend, because it was pretty tasty and delicious and this friend would not lie to me about a place being tasty so anyways, when I got the recommendation that friend told me to get the cháo bôi which is a seafood rice porridge with tapioca balls and wow it did not disappoint me in the slightest, which is why I would recommend this place that is designed for large groups to eat in, meaning that you should drink heavily and then order the seafood porridge in a large group together like you would in a place like ho chi minh city in vietnam.

Came here with a bunch of friends to eat the 7 beef course. Maybe I can't count but I only counted like 5 different types of beef that we were served. Most of the dishes they served were average tasting to me, some better than others such as the beef onion roll but even then didn't have enough flavor. The soup they serve is definitely the best part of the entire meal. It ended up being a little over $30/person from what I can remember. It was good to try, not sure if I would want to eat it again

This is my wife's favorite Vietnamese restaurant in San Jose. She orders raw steak and/or squid to cook in a boiling broth bowl. After it quickly cools, she wraps the meat in rice paper along with cucumbers, bean sprouts, carrots, and lettuce. It's a really cool experience with some very tasty dishes. I usually get this birds nest type meal made with crispy chow-mein noodles and a gravy meat sauce poured on top and it's delicious.

7 course beef is a popular choice within the Vietnamese cuisine. This restaurant has been in Lyon Plaza for at least 25 years. I remember dining here for special occasions when I was a kid.Recently, we took my mom here for a belated birthday dinner. We ordered the 7 course beef for four people (you should order per person to ensure there's enough food for everyone). Simply put: it was nostalgic.Each course had its own unique flavors and twist that haven't changed too much in taste and presentation from what I remember as a kid. These guys do a good job in keeping the recipe and preparation style consistent over the years. It's spring roll style so you get the rice papers, the fresh vegetables, and the dipping sauces to wrap with each course of beef as it comes out. And yes, it's exactly as the name suggests -- its 7 different courses of beef that you get to roll up into your preferred make of a spring roll. I must've ate 15 spring rolls. Don't worry, they're small in size so it's easy to get carried away. Haha. Very addicting if you ask me. The best part is that you don't feel overly full or guilty after having dinner here because there is an abundance of fresh vegetables that is paired with every bite.Love this spot and will remain a forever fan.P.S. don't mind the service. It's not top notch but they mean well.

Came by on a Friday afternoon around 5:45pm and there was a good amount of tables open. We ordered the 7 Beef Course Set for 3 people. It came with rice paper and 3 sets of vegetables. Overall, I thought the dishes were average. Most of the courses weren't amazing and some were actually overcooked and dry. I personally liked the fondue as it had a citrus taste. The restaraunt got pretty crowded as the evening continued. I personally wouldn't come back, but it was nice to try.

Came to the square to buy flowers and stopped by Anh Hong to eat some Vietnamese food. TBH, it wasn't the best Vietnamese food and it was Ok not excellent.Service was lackluster. Slow and inattentive. The two young waiters were friendly, but the older man/owner was not too nice, He didn't greet. Dishes didn't come at the same time. I felt like from stepping in 'til getting food, it's a waiting game to test my patience. Paying cash will save you a few dollars. Unclean environment. There were a few noticable food scraps and slimy stuff on the floor under our table that they didn't clean up. It bothered me. I think the food would taste better if they provide better service. Hubby got his food first but chose to wait for everyone else, got tired and hungry and didn't enjoy the experience.
