Finally a decent Vietnamese restaurant in my neighborhood. The tables were clean. We sat near the bathroom so beware noticed the high traffic of waiting.We were seated quickly. It took a little bit to get the menus and then order.The combination bun with shrimp pork and egg roll was good. Each component well cooked.The beef chow fun had a good flavor.The pho was good. The broth was a bit star anise heavy but worth trying again.The prices are reasonable. Kids approved.

Pho Luc Lac is a Vietnamese restaurant located in a San Jose strip mall. It's highly rated on yelp at 4.6, so we decided to give it a try. Clearly from the front hub bub, they do a lot of takeout business.Give this restaurant a try if you're in the area and looking for good Vietnamese food at reasonable prices.Safety Pluses - Online menu, Delivery services available, online ordering. Food Review:Pho Tai ($15.95) is not cheap. Add $1 if you want fresh wide noodles. The broth has good flavor, meat quality is solid, and they even include dragon coriander with their condiments! 8.5/10Vegetarian Pho ($15.95) tofu, carrot, bok choy, cabbage, broccoli has a nice broth and lots of veggies. 8.5/10Shaking beef ($18.95) its not cheap, but had good quality beef, and nice red colored tomato rice. 8.5/10 Overall - Very GoodFood - Very GoodDecor - GoodService - GoodValue - Very GoodWould we come back - Yes

I was on the hunt for bun bu hue. And decided to try this place out. It's a bitter away than my usually spot. But their soup is spicy and filling. They don't have a lot of seating,we end up sitting near the bathroom.My brother got the classic pho with the beef balls and tendons. He liked it a lot. He will full.The bun bu hue comes with pigs blood, the meat loaf, and other meat. The shrimp paste and chilli sauce made the noodle and soup even better.

This is now my favorite place to go for Pho. I ordered the combination and there's a substantial amount if meat in it. Good food, fast service, and glad to find it in my neighborhood. Would try their other selections next time.

Went here earlier today - took a friend out for a birthday lunch. I actually used to come to this shopping center when they had an arcade.... A very long time ago!Ok, back to the restaurant review...Pros- I was seated right away, even though our full party was not there. Our meet up time was noon, so that was quite nice. I was also able to order apps, and they were ready right as my friend came. Plenty of parking, always a great plus! The garlic butter wings were very tasty! The wings were the best bite of the meal. I'd come back for these- if I'm in the area.Cons- service was ok...not the friendliest. I felt like I was bothering the waitstaff when I asked for small plates for our appetizers (ordered egg rolls in addition to the garlic butter chicken wings), and during the ordering process we asked for an extra bowl, since we were sharing the order of pho. When we asked again, after the pho was placed down at the table without an extra bowl, it felt like we received the stink eye (again) from the waitress. Another bummer - I usually love Vietnamese egg rolls (all egg rolls and lumpia....yum!) The ones we had were just ok. I think they were taken out of the fryer a bit early and were not fully crispy, which also caused them to be oily in the non-crispy spots. The pho broth was good, but the steak was overcooked when it came to the table. Roots Bistro's pho was/is a lot better. So... while I had fun celebrating my friend's birthday and enjoyed the garlic butter chicken wings, I would not make a special drive to come back. It's about 16 minutes away from my house, and there are a lot of great spots much closer to home. Of course, if I am in the area already, I would stop by for more garlic butter wings! Mmmmmm!

Literally the best pho I've ever had. I actually pulled over cause traffic was horrid and I needed to find a restroom. The amazing smell of this place drew me in and I ordered Lean Brisket and omg... I ordered another to go Straight up the Jasmine milk tea is so delish! Not too sweet and you can actually taste the tea. Service was incredibly fast. Can't wait to bring my family back here!

My first 5 star review of 2025 goes to Pho Luc Lac! I can't believe it's taken me this long to finally Yelp this place. It rivals other pho restaurants I've been to in San Jose and will now be my go-to for pho and vermicelli!Unfortunately, we didn't have enough time to dine-in so we ordered the following dishes for take out:Brisket Pho - I couldn't believe how many slices of brisket they gave us. It's hard to tell from my picture but that entire section was filled! There was also a large amount of noodles and veggies. With pho, the broth is the most important factor and they did not miss on the flavor - it was very rich and savory. You can also taste hints of the aromatics like star anise, cinnamon, and cloves.Vegetarian Pho - Since we ordered togo, the broth was labeled with a "veggie" sticker to avoid confusion with the beef one. Thank you for that! Again, there was such a generous amount of tofu, veggies, and noodles. Even though this was vegetarian, the broth, although different, did not miss a beat with its flavors.Chicken Fried Rice - what an abundance amount of chicken! The rice was wok-fried. You can really taste the "wok hei" or "wok breath" which really gave the rice such an amazing taste. Combination vermicelli - generous amount of grilled pork, shrimp, and one egg roll cut in half. This ended up being two meals for me.Tofu with egg rolls vermicelli - the fish sauce was also labeled "veg" and again another winner.They took over the old Golden Rice Bowl restaurant location several years ago and are located across the street from Safeway with plenty of parking.If my togo order was this good, I can only imagine how much better it'd be dining in and eating it fresh in the restaurant. Pho Luc Lac doesn't skimp on its flavors or portions. I'm excited to dine-in next time!
