Portions were very large, and the servers were nice. I actually really loved their egg rolls, huge and crispy!!
Always hits the spot. Their dry pho is the absolute best. I've had it multiple times in several restaurants in different parts of CA and this always hits the spot.
Down and dirty for all the good reasons, and apparently the oldest Vietnamese restaurant in San Jose. Walked in and it was packed, with old dudes, a sure tell sign this place is legit. I THINK I had #47, and it was epic. Packed with giant prawns, meats, and fish cake slices along with amazing clear noodles. Broth was fresh, tasty, and not your average broth. There's plenty of non-metered street parking. Can't wait to come back again and again! Those clear noodles...
I've been going to the restaurant for years!!! Their chewy Hu Tieu will not disappoint. It still tastes like the first time I've tried this delish bowl of noodles over 20+ years ago. Come and support them. Owner told me they have homeless people asking for food each night otherwise they would smash his windows and of course the police wont't do anything about it so come support them. They need our help and support to keep going.
This place has been around forever and their food is still consistent, tasty and good service. Owner and staff is always friendly and easy going. They don't skimp on portion and give more than most restaurants! I ordered a small dry noodle (Hu Tieu) with a mixture of white wide noodle and the thin yellow noodle and it was full to the rim of the bowl. There were a lot of diff types of meat and two huge prawns! When we asked for a side of fried pork fat they gave us a full small bowl not even in a small dipping plate like most places would. My hubby ordered a large clear noodle soup and he could barely finish cuz the portion was huge! It's a hole in the wall type of place and not fancy, but you get more than you pay for and food is delish! I go here every time I crave for dry hu tieu.
