BBH Noodle

We were in the area and were thinking about revisiting a noodle place in Milpitas we had tried years ago, but couldn't remember the name nor the location so we saw this little as we drove by and decided to give it a try.We got there around 2pm on Saturday and it was pretty empty. We ordered Bun Bo Hue and an appetizer. We couldn't decide if we want Goi Cuon or the papaya salad so we asked the server (I think he is the owner?) which one was better. One would expect he would suggest the more expensive salad but he actual recommended the cheaper rolls. Extra point there! Happy to see they offer Bun Bo Hue as we love the spicy noodles. We have tried many bun no hue places in the Bay Area, including the famous Bun Bo Hue A nam in San Jose. Some places tend to make it too sweet. The Bun Bo Hue here was HUGE and flavorful. It was spicy but we like it hot so we fully used the toasted pepper chili sauce on the table. The lemongrass flavor was intense and we love it.The Goi Cuon was the biggest I have seen. They are very thoughtful that they didn't put the crushed peanuts in the dipping sauce like other places, but offer it on the side... for people with allergies I think-very considerate . There wasn't anything to write home about regarding the taste of the rolls. They were fresh and crunchy as expected for goi Cuon. Part of the skin was a little hard but overall they were good for the price.The place was clean and tables arranged neatly. The service was good and the boss (I think) was very friendly. The menu offerings were limited but I don't mind.Overall it was a 3.65 star experience (so round it up to 4). I wouldn't mind coming back if I am in the area...

Another week, another time to try a pho place.I appeared at what seemed to be a small family hosted joint?I ordered a usual beef pho, and taste wise it's okay, I just have some issues.Some of the beef is rubbery to the point where it's not possible to chew it.The service needs some work, even with a handful of people, a lot of other customers were waiting longer than expected.You don't need to come here, you aren't missing anything

I tried BBH Noodle awhile ago and thought it was pretty pricey for Pho. Good, but pricey. Nowadays, that's the standard pricing at other restaurants. Today, I revisited them while waiting for my mom's takeout from next door to be ready. The service was bad. I walked in and a lone lady was sitting at the back table talking on the phone. After seating myself done and waited a few minutes with nobody to greet me or bring me a menu. I proceeded to go to the kitchen to see if somebody would help me. As I saw somebody, she spoke in Vietnamese, and a man came out to help me but was surprised that he had to come out as he saw the woman just sitting there. I understand not to expect good service at these types of restaurants, but at least seat your customers and give them a menu and water. I only got the water after she somewhat took my order. Bun Bo Hue (Spicy): Beef and pork slices, ham, tendon, pork blood (4/5). I was surprised that they did not include the usual shrimp paste and chili oil. But, for me it was already a good heat level for me.Best of luck to them.

I love bun bo hue and this place hits the spot for being so close! Also, they make a habanero and garlic satế that they sell in jars near the cashier. I always pick one up when I'm out. I use this in a lot of soup dishes including their bbh. LOVE.

This is a solid Vietnamese restaurant in Milpitas if you're craving Bun Bo Hue or Hu Tieu Nam Vang. The portions and quality is very good. They have a variety of other dishes too like pho and rice plates, but I haven't tried it personally. Food comes out quickly. Would recommend.

Came here on a weeknight for dinner because I really wanted soup. I tried the BBH and it was mid for me since I'm huge on savory and super spicy for BBH. If you don't like too much heat, then this is probably a good broth-spice level for you. Otherwise, it was not spicy for me and the chili oil they had wasn't spicy for me either. I did try their eggrolls, which was great but I forgot to snap a picture of it. Glad there's a Vietnamese joint in Milpitas.

I haven't visited this spot in more than 8 years until today. There's always new ownership and restaurant name changes on this block. Nothing fancy and not huge, but they definitely have enough tables and chairs inside. Same old. Senior folks work here and there's always people chatting inside lounging around. Grab a menu at the front display shelf area at entrance doors. It's kind of hard to notice they stack menus there, in case you're wondering where the menu is. Not many dine-in customers during lunchtime (Thursday). TV is on with Vietnamese programs. Place is a bit outdated compared to other Vietnamese restaurants in Milpitas. More quiet these days than usual. Credit cards accepted. Pay at front counter after dining inside. I sat at corner table 1 and had the Bun Rieu Crab Cake Meat Pate Tomato Paste Noodle Soup with a glass of water. True, selections are a bit pricier compared to other similar places. Still delicious, especially the unique meat pate. They're actually different in taste compared to others. Good tasting flavorful meat pate is probably handmade. Very good. Huge portion sizes inside bowl. Service is slow, but ok. Mixed vibes inside. 1-2 staffs (males) are working. Don't expect excitement. Not too bright interior lighting. Low key casual dining mood. They can get very busy taking orders over the phone. The place was much better with more servers in past years. They are definitely trying to survive. Staffs are growing older. Menu is simple. Old places still have potential. This is one of those places that should get repainted or upgraded to compete with others. Sticky wet tables? Utensils looked old. Times have changed, so the dining mood needs to catch up with modern businesses. It felt like business is slower and customer base is shrinking, but you can still find delicious selections here. Very mixed interior vibes here. Food is good.

I ordered bún thịt nướng. The pork meat was dried and hard. No "đồ chua", bowl of soup...Quite a bad "bare minimum" experience like the place name BBH.

Been here couple times cuz I live close by, usually I go the other way pho place, but they closed on Tuesday,never anyone at the front desk , this is my third time btw, all three times I have to go to the back n get their attention , i ordered combo n ask beef on the side, she said yes, n the order came of course no beef on the side, ok no big deal, but when I asked she got upset n said I didn't order fillet mignon n shoke her head n went back in there, last time here, i promised myself lol

I've tried bun Bo hue at many places and this one is among the top. Try their beef noodles
