I been eating here for the past 3 years since I work at the hospital down the street. All my co workers have always came here so wanted to give it a go since I do love Vietnamese food.The service is wonderful, very nice and pleasant workers. One of the ladies who helps with payment and seating customers is always so pleasant. Sorry did not get her name but she is always working there. The man who also helps at the cashier end, he is also very friendly. When u walk in, place is big and food smells so good. They have a back area which looks like a bar area, another place in the back to sit or if u are having like 30 or more people coming, good spot for a get together party or meeting.The food: 10/10. I always get their fresh spring rolls, comes with their homemade peanut butter sauce. All so good, taste so fresh and on point. The plate i order as well: #40- chicken pho. Their broth is sooo good, flavors of the broth taste authentic. Their chicken they use has no fat, all fresh sliced white meat chicken. They are not greedy with giving it inside the pho like other places which don't give much or their chicken is too fatty. This place is 10/10Order number #68- vermicelli with BBQ pork and vegetables. Omg....to die for !!! Very fresh vermicelli noodles and the BBQ pork taste is to the T. So fresh cooked, flavorful. It's sooo addicting to eat once u have it, u want to go back again to get it. Portion is big, prices are not bad. Yes everywhere u go is expensive but I'd rather eat this food than mcd, or burger king. Give this place a try, promise it's worth it !!

I should've known from the overall rating but this place was not good. My sister felt nauseous after eating the bun Bo hue which she normally orders at different restaurants and she normally doesn't get sick from food.Service was decent but aside from my sister feeling unwell from the food, it was not very good. My parents really like pho and have tried a lot of places and they said the broth was bland. I got a rice plate with shredded pork and beef which was fine but nothing special.With so many different options in the area we will probably not choose to come back here.

Came here for some pho and spring rolls. I got the pho with beef and tendon. The pho had a good soup to noodle ratio and the broth had good flavor. I got the pork and shrimp spring roll. The peanut sauce for the spring roll was really good, and helps to balance out some of the dryness of the pork. Next trip I'd like to try the bun bo hueService was quick. Of note the receipt will come with lump sum -- you need to ask for itemized receipt. Inside has simple decoration with variety of sizes of tables.

Today we were craving Vietnamese food, this was more of the complete Vietnamese restaurants around the area.AMBIANCE:Parking: Plaza parking. Not a big plaza but a not too busy place as it seems to have a good flow.Seating: Inside seating good for groups small and large. It can fit maybe about 50 people.Vibes: A semi-suburban area of San Jose. It gets pretty busy with the school or the hospital near by. A few minutes down and you are in the more touristy/busy area of Valley Fair/Santa Row mall. The restaurant itself is relatively simple. Pretty bright, decor here and there to represent Vietnamese culture and pictures of some of their foods. There are a few tvs on if you want to watch the news or catch a sports game. Great for gatherings and if you want then you can be productive.FOOD:Banh Mi - BBQ Pork (Recommend)Delicious but a bit pricey. A good portion of meat, fresh bread and veggies. There's a small shop across the block that sells banh mi for half the price (limited choices and runs out quick)CUSTOMER SERVICE:Simple and cordial. A very hustle and bustle energy. TL; DR OVERALL:3.5 Stars. Good selections, good food, and a steady ambiance. I am surprised with the cost of the Banh Mi but the Bay Area is expensive. I wouldn't mind coming back here. #Represent-ASIANTIPS:* Well rounded shop for food and drinks!* Com Tam means broken rice.

Since I work a full day, this is my go to spot when I want pho. I have ordered other dishes here such as their rice plates, bun thit nuong and nem nuong cuon. Most people I have seen usually order the pho. If you are eating in, a server will seat you. You have to go up to the counter to pay your bill. Food comes out super fast, as well as service. They also sell smoothies and milk teas along with other traditional Vietnamese drinks. I would advise not getting the boba here. The smoothies are really delicious though. The restaurant itself is wide and open with plenty of space in between tables. There is also a separate room to the right of the main entrance. I think I have only eaten on that side once. There are two separate parking lots on both side of the restaurant which are tiny so be aware of that.

I can't say enough of this place. If only there was a restaurant this good close to my house. Great customer service, reasonable price, especially with our current economy and top quality food. I highly highly highly recommend this place if you are looking to have Vietnamese food for lunch or dinner. I come by here as often as I can, but after moving Away, I can only come here once in a while.Quality of food:: A + + +Quality of service: A + + +Price: $ - $$

This is a solid Vietnamese place to grab some food. I mainly stick to the vermicelli bowls, which always have fresh veggies, a good amount of meat (too much for me) and the eggroll. I've ordered both for here and to go - the portion is decently sized and I usually have to split it into two meals. My other go to order is the pad thai - yeah, I know. Who orders pad thai at a Vietnamese restaurant? Apparently, enough people as it's a well liked item on the menu and sometimes run out when I want to order it. I love the amount of protein included and the flavor is consistent - not too much, but not too little either. The eggrolls here are a bit different - I believe they use spring roll wrappers (clear rice paper) instead of the usual flour ones. It gives it a chewy consistency, which I actually enjoy with the lettuce and fish sauce mix. My friend and I came here the other day and while we didn't have to wait for seats at 2PM, there were a ton of people. We found some clean tables, sat down and waited for someone to come get our order. Our food came out quickly and I enjoyed what we got. My friend also liked her soup. We were able to sit in a little corner, so it was quiet enough where we could have a conversation and catch up without hearing other people's conversations. The service was adequate - we got everything we needed in a timely manner without too much asking. While the food and service was good, there was nothing that made it stand out. It's a great little place for friends and family to share a quick meal, but nothing that demands your attention to come back soon.

This is my husband and I's go to pho spot. We love that the portions are big and the food always had really good flavor. The service is always quick even if they are super busy and they're always very nice. We've been coming here for years and will continue to. Thank you for the great food and hospitality!

I come for the pad Thai damn near weekly, it's so good. The girl who is always here is so nice to me and always make me feel welcomed. They have good broken rice plates, fried egg rolls and spring rolls.

Food was good and the service was excellent. Vermicelli with grilled meat (both pork and chicken) are great, broken rice dishes, rice flour rolls and fried noodles are all good. Wonton soup noodles is very soothing for me.I eat there at least once every week.
