Hands down the best pho in San Jose! The broth is rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care—none of that watered-down stuff you get at some places. The noodles are always perfectly cooked, and the meat is fresh and tender. Everything just hits the spot. What I really love is the atmosphere. It feels like a real local spot—nothing too fancy, just warm, welcoming, and full of regulars who know what’s good. The staff is friendly and quick, and you can tell they take pride in their food. If you’re looking for authentic, delicious pho in a place that feels like home, this is it.

Hey hey! Another pho place with FRESH NOODLES but these are a cut above the rest. They are so soft and supple they’re the BEST fresh noodles I’ve ever had. And I search for pho spots with fresh noodles. Yummy!

Another cold rainy day in NORCAL 47 degrees. Best time for another Pho Now. I checked them out on Yelp. All reviews looked pretty good. So I decided to try them out. I was one of the first couple of customers to pop in. The place was not too busy. Inside space was pretty good. Like a medium size enough for a good 40-50 tables of customers. I ordered the Filet Mignon garlic grilled with all the condiments and spring egg rolls. The bowls were pretty big for a large. Prices were similar to the other locations. It hit the spot "my belly" and warmed me for the day. Location was easy to get to and accessible parking lot with 2 banks and a Taco Bell next to it and some popular place called Egg Head. Handicapped parking spots 2 of them right in front. That made EXTRA special to go into for those of us Physically challenged. I will recommend and take family and friends to try them out. My bowl was SPLENDID. Muy Bueno. They also had the little talking A.I. robot helping out. Been seeing a lot of those around these Pho restaurants.
