On my way home from Davis I always stop by this place for a bowl of bun bo hue. The service is really fast & my food comes out in 10 minutes or less each time. The BBH is very good & unlike other reviews that say this place is "skimpy", I thought they gave me a lot of meat. The beef is very tender & the cha is good quality. The broth lacks a strong lemon grass flavor but it's really spicy & tasty. The workers are also very nice and check up on me to see if I need any extra limes / more water. I really love this place & recommend it if you're craving BBH. read more

It's my go to place for pho since it's near by. Their pho is flavorful and very customizable with the types of meat. Would definitely come back read more

Don't know what happened to this place but the last 2 times I've been here recently have been abhorrent. The BBH is terrible - watered down and barely tasted like any thing edible. There were tables that were left unclean - a huge OSHA safety concern. Do not go here. read more

BBH was average; the meat wasn't particularly tasty. The veggie serving size (bean sprouts, etc) to put into the BBH was small, felt pretty stingy. read more

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

They are fast but not skimpy I work nearby and have Always received fresh quality ingredients that definitely exceeds the other options in the area I highly recommend the bbq rice plate as the cook/co-owner makes some of the best beef/pork bbq plates I've had the opportunity to devour Ofc the phò is an easy go-to and does not disappoint no matter what time of the day read more

The Bun Bo here is so delicious! I love their broth. It's so rich and full of flavors. This is my go to place for lunch when I want a nice hot bowl of noodles. I haven't ordered anything else besides their bowl of deliciousness. Maybe will try the next time I come back. The parking sucks. It's right next to Fortune restaurant and a Starbucks. You have to come early to find a good spot/nearby spot. read more

My hubby and I have a late lunch around 3 something. We decided to come here since we see their reviews were good and wanted to give it a try. The parking here is easy to find. The restaurant was quiet at that time and we got seated immediately. My hubby ordered noodle soups with special combinations (oxtail, pizzle, filet magnon, brisket, flank, tendon, tripe and beed ball). I got myself BBQ pork chop rice plate. My hubby got his order fast and I waited a little bit as the staff told me the kitchen need to heat the grill. The noodles soup was taste good and flavorful. And my pork chop rice plate was okay, nothing really impressed me. The plate was a little small to me as I find difficult to cut the chop, and kind made a little messy. I think they should provide a small bowl of soup so when people eating rice plate won't be so dry. Anyway, the overall experience was okay to me. read more

My family loves coming here because it's the only Vietnamese restaurant nearby that makes Bun Bo Hue the way my grandma used to make it. There's just something about the flavor and aromatics here that gets the dish right where other places don't quite get. After my grandma passed away a few years ago, my mom would always suggest coming here to eat and it really makes us happy to taste her cooking again. My favorite dish here is Nui Xao Bo which is a penne pasta cooked with a sauce similar to sweet and sour sauce, and mixed with really tender beef and some veggies. I've yet to see this dish on menus at other Vietnamese restaurants so I always come here when I'm craving it! Restaurant here is clean, and servers are very nice. It's located in a plaza with some other restaurants and stores but parking is always easy. I also really like the way they make their milk tea here! It's super creamy and not too sweet which is exactly the way I like it. read more

Solid pho restaurant in Milpitas. Yesterday was an unseasonably cool day. For that reason, I was thinking about pho all day long. Came dinnertime, I threw out BBH Noodle as a suggestion. Surprisingly, my family was mildly enthused about the idea. So off we went to Milpitas to try out this joint. BBH Noodle is located in the Victorian Square, a large shopping Center on E. Calaveras Boulevard just east of Highway 680. We walked in at around 7:45pm and were immediately greeted by one of the staff members. He seated us at a table off to the right of the entrance. The interior appeared clean and well lit. Decorations were simple and elegant. Seating was made up with more than a dozen small tables and a large round table. Some of the small tables were put together to accommodate larger parties. Water and menu were brought to us by the male staffer. Since we had scouted out their menu prior, we quickly ordered the following: - Bun Bo Hue ($9.50) - Pho Dac Biet x2 ($9.50 each) - Goi Cuon (fresh spring rolls, $5.50) It took less than 10 minutes for our food to arrive. My bun bo Hue came with several slices of thickly cut beef shank and pork belly, as well as cha Hue (Hue style ham), tendon chunks, and congealed pig blood cubes. The broth was robust and spicy. It was meaty and had great lemongrass flavor. The spiciness of the broth plateaued slowly and lingered in the back of my throat for quite some time. The noodles were cooked perfectly. All the meat toppings were great except for the beef shank, which I found to be tough and chewy. Overall, it was a good, solid bowl of bun bo Hue. It would have been great if the beef shank was better. I tried some of the pho dac biet broth and it was solid. It was beefy and not too much MSG was noted. I also tried a slice of the flank and it was tender. My mom and brother both complimented their food. Coming from my mom, it's a pretty big deal since she's not a huge fan of Vietnamese food. The staff was friendly and courteous. With tax and tip, the meal only cost $43. It's difficult to find good bun bo Hue in the East Bay. IMHO, their version is solid. It may not be as good as BBH An Nam or Pho King, but definitely better than most Vietnamese pho joints. If you are in search of good pho in Milpitas, keep this place in mind. BONUS MATERIAL: - Major credits cards accepted except AE. $15 minimum charge. - Large parking lot on site. read more

Found my new favorite Bun Bo Hue place in the area. I dined in and was surprised by their serving size. The soup bowls are on the larger end (M/L) and came with abundant meats. Even the spring rolls here are larger than other Pho restaurants. Other places I've tried before their Bun Bo Hue soup is very oily and has a dark red color. I love spicy food so I was surprised when I didn't enjoy my first Bun Bo Hue back then. Now after trying BBH Noodle, this will be my go to place for Bun Bo Hue. Their soup doesn't look as oily and doesn't have a dark red color. It's on the more savory side. I was sad I got full before I could finish all of it because it was just too good. Cozy small family owned restaurant. Even though there was only 1-2 servers working during the lunch rush, service was still fast. A lot of large groups when I went. read more

We came at lunch. Long story short, the 2 rice place we got were pretty good, but nothing you could not get at another Vietnamese place. My big gripe was the extremely slow and poor service. The person working took forever to take our order and it took 1 hour to get our food. Water glasses were also never refilled. We got there at 12 and did not have food brought to us until after 1. I am used to Vietnamese places being so much faster. It is probably best to order to go, but you will have to pay for to go containers. read more

fresh ingredients , large menu options . Bbq chicken was very good with jasmin rice and a side of salad . very nice waitress and patient

Went here for the first time about a week ago along with my office buddies. When we arrived there were a few patrons enjoying their noodles and one particular table had a special order of stir fried rice noodles without meat because it was holy week. My friend ordered the same because it looked tasty. I ordered the seafood noodles because I am observing holy week. I was surprised that the seafood noodle had meat on it. I already tasted it so I just placed the meat on the side and had everything else. The lady owner seems to be very social and went around tables to talk to the customers. It was a nice feeling because it's very welcoming. I ordered the small bowl for about $9 which seems to be the running cost for a bowl of noodles lately... The soup is OK. I remember that they added crispy pork rinds in their soup (which now as I realized was a yikes moment in my supposed no-meat lunch) The noodles were chewy just the way I like it. something was missing tho...oh no small sauce dish for my usual hoisin and garlic-chili paste mix. Over all it was just OK for me...but will probably come back to try on their other offerings. read more

The place is called BBH maybe it doesn't stand for Bun Bo Hue...because it did not taste like it.. no flavor what so ever. Broth was really plain.Asked for extra lime and they ignored us. Asked the lady for some she walked away like she didn't hear... our coconut drink was warm with no ice what so ever.... service deserves a 1/2 Star and quality of food deserves another 1/2 so we got a total of 1. If your a fan of BBH don't come here you will be disappointed. read more

Omg so good! I came here twice! First time I came I got the pork chop plate! Very tasty! Second time I came I got the short ribs plate! Very good! Both times that I went I also got a Thai tea! The best Thai tea! The food is really good! When you order expect to wait, but it's so worth the wait! read more

Okay, can someone tell me what "BBH" stands for? Because I honestly thought it was "Big Bl...." JK - I wouldn't even know what H would stand for anyway. Well, I guess after putting a little thought to it can someone confirm if it stands for Bun Bo Hue Noodle? Seriously, let me know! The place is extremely small yet busy. It's worth waiting for because the food is bomb diggity. It was raining outside so it really set the mood lol. I ordered their Bun Bo Hue without pork blood (sorry I'm too chicken to eat that sort of thing.) The portions are huge, the broth was fresh, the meat thoroughly cooked, and the spices were out of this world. I haven't good Bun Bo Hue in a long time so I was literally happy that this place nailed it. My mom...well, she's the picky one. She doesn't like pho nor does she like vermicelli noodles. She ordered shrimp/beef over rice. The portions were large and she was very happy to get a mound of rice lol (totally Filipino). My mom always opts out whenever the rest of my family wants to eat pho but said that she'll gladly tag along if we always go here. The egg rolls were satisfying as well. They were really crispy and hot. They're not filled with crappy junk either it was good ol ground pork with carrots. Definitely my fav that hits close to home. My mom and I fought for the last one lol. It's rare that I ever give out 5 stars and this place deserves it. read more

Came by for lunch the other day and realized that it seems to be the same owners at Bun Bo Hue An Nam as I recognized one of the staff members! Interior of the restaurant is modern and the restrooms were clean. Surprisingly, the restaurant was pretty empty, even during the typical lunch rush! Started off with the Shrimp Mayonnaise Egg Rolls which were decent. They were obviously pre-made and taken out to the fryer as the interior was still slightly cold... :/ The rolls were well fried and the interior of mayo and shrimp was definitely unique, seems like Walnut Shrimp... Moved on to the Bun Bo Hue which was merely okay. As other Yelpers had mentioned, the broth and meats weren't super flavorful like Bun Bo Hue An Nam... Noodles were decent and the topping of onions was tasty. Service was friendly and attentive by the staff. Credit Cards are accepted for purchases over $15. ~$18 after tax and tip for lunch... read more

"Third Time's a Charm?" What does that even mean? Well in this case, it means that this particular restaurant, is proving to be better than the previous two that were forced to close their doors! Better? I'd have to say YES! We ordered the Shaken Beef Rice Plate, BBQ Chicken Rice Plate, and the Baked Seafood Rice. The two servers we had were very friendly, and the food came out reasonable quick. Shaken Beef Rice Plate: This dish came with their seasoned rice, which was SCREAMING! But the beef could have been a little more tender. BBQ Chicken Rice Plate: The chicken was cooked and seasoned to perfection! Slightly charred on the outside, and perfectly textured inside, and juicier than juice itself!!! Baked Seafood Rice: A pretty simple looking dish, but everything thrown in here was very fresh and tasty! Side note: The first server didn't know the menu too well, but Rocky is your go-to guy! I'm guessing he might be the manager/owner. He was very helpful. But, I'd say they should probably invest in Comcast or DirecTV. If you have a flatscreen mounted, put it to use! :) Conclusion: Good service, good food, moderate prices. Yes, I would definitely come back to try their Bun Bo Hue (#4: Spicy Beef Noodle Soup). This is their signature dish! Hence the name, "BBH Noodle!" read more

We were craving bun bo hue. We never tried one in Milpitas so we found one nearby. When we arrived, we noticed the grand opening sign and there's a few people waiting in line on a Sunday morning. I add our name to the waiting list and the wait was around 10 minutes. The interior of the restaurant was very nice and the bathroom was clean. We ordered bun bo hue with less spicy. The food arrived very fast. The tendons were really good, but the beef was not as tender I thought it would be. The broth was amazing which I really enjoy. Will definitely come back and try other things on the menu. read more

BBH Noodle - Vietnamese Near Me - Milpitas, California

Pros: Fresh vege Beef shank is nice and tender Flavor was not bad Noodle actually boil to perfect Cons: **Ok, the broth is filled with season. It doesnt sound bad right. Wait for it: broth needed to have that meaty flavor from all the boiled pork and beef, which in this case, not applicable. U can tell when the broth is slowly cook, if the bone and meat has the time to release their flavor into broth. This broth is full of salt, sugar, and msg! **Very little meat for a bowl of noodle, i mean 4 paper thin beef shank and 3 thin piece of pork, and i came because a friend of mine recommended it. Big no no for me ** feel very thirsty after i get home, so yeah, salty Will i come back? No Do they have potential to make it better, based on what i see, the seasoning is not bad, so if they fix all those problem, they could really improve it read more

Good food. Customer service was fantastic. Delicious entrees. 10/10. Very very flavorful.

So far I've had consistent bowls of phò here and the star is the tai, cross cut slices of tender quality beef. The broth is clean and tasty with lots o slivers of green onions.... Get the soul chili on the side, spicy but flavorful... The fish sauce chicken wangs are good too... The BBH is on par here, meat is a bit chewy, but the flavors are here... Just dump everything in the bowl, mix it up and eat! Add some soul chili in there to kick it up a few notches and it's all good! read more

Meh... :( when it was not as busy (a couple of months when they first open) it was pretty good but since its been open a while and now busy, its horrible. I dont think they can handle a full house as the wait for food was over 20 mins during lunch rush and everyone was all over the place. I noticed the quality of the broth was off and they now skimped on the meat and toppings. On top of that the bun bo hue didnt sit well with my stomach after nor did the pho with my friend. He complained he was in the restroom right after. I really liked this place in the beginning but now its whatever for me. read more

I couldn't believe I spent $17+ on a pho to go that came home with just one slice of thin beef. No more next time :(

Food was good. Service wasn't. Ordered the bun bo hue which was very tasty. Good sauces and everything. Downfall is that every table was packed, but only two employees. Water was never refilled. Took awhile to flag someone down as well. Giving them 4 stars because of the delicious food. Each bowl is $9.5 as well which is pricey compared to the OC but I guess that's the regular price for Milpitas. Anyway, the broth was good. Beef blood, spices, diff types of meat, etc. all delicious. Just bad service and the floors weren't as clean as well. Honestly, I was so thirsty and they never came by to refill my water. I couldn't even flag them down. read more

Before I wrote this review, I gave it many tries and now I am a fan! First Experience: My family and I (plus boyfriend) came here on their first week of grand opening. Of course, things won't always be smooth. The place looked clean and only had about 2 other tables filled. We had a table of 7 people and we ordered 4 bowls of BBH, an order of the BBQ Beef Rice Plate, and Pho Dac Biet. I shared my BBH with my boyfriend since we were both still full. The soup smelled great and presentation was nice. It looked plentiful, hot, and fresh. Unfortunately, the soup was a little bland and the bun was super soft! That is a big no-no for me! I love al dente bun and I think that is what makes a big part of BBH. The soup was not as flavorful as BBH An Nam. However, my grandma gave me some of her BBQ Beef to try and that was really good! The meat was tender and well seasoned. It went perfectly with the al dente rice and fish sauce. That day, I left feeling a bit disappointed and thought it can never compared to An Nam. All Experiences After: I came back 4 times afterwards with friends and my boyfriend. Each time, it got better and better! The bun became al dente. The soup was more flavorful! Someone even came up to me on my second visit and asked me how the bun was. I don't know if they recognized me from Yelp or they were simply just asking everyone, but there was definite improvement. On the third visit, I tried their Hu Tieu Bo Vien and that was very light, fresh, and flavorful. Overall: Their BBH is doesn't fail to satisfy my BBH cravings. I learned to substitute the beef in BBH with Tai. Makes it even better! Although in my eyes, they can never compare to An Nam, they do come close. With the distance in consideration, I would definitely choose to come here over An Nam on most days. read more

Coming here with two friends on a saturday night. We arrived at about 6PM and there were no customers. We ordered two bun bo hues, one regular pho, and spring rolls (shrimp and pork). We were debating about whether or not we wanted to get the pizzle or not. Haha. We decided not to. When the BBH arrived i was really excited to try it. The soup base was nice, clear but still had that spicy kicked to it which i enjoyed very much. The thing I didn't like about it was the noodles weren't cooked correctly, not sure why some were al dente and some were just super soft. The meat portion was pretty bad as well, I had two small pieces of tendon, two cha, two big chunks of pork blood, and two small pieces of beef.... I don't eat pork blood but my friend did say it wasn't fresh because it was too firm. The spring roll were pretty good, I like how they put shrimp and pork in there. Would i go back there..hmmm probably not. it's not worth the drive out there when i could get better BBH in my area. read more

Came here Saturday for lunch and it was packed. There was one available table and the waiter sat us down immediately. He was about to hand us the menus, but changed his mind and asked us to order right away and mentioned ordering BBH. He was already pivoting and starting to walk away with the menus as we asked for two bowls. It's a BBH place, so it does make sense we would want to order it, but we should have had the opportunity to look at the menus in case we wanted something else. It's not a big deal to me, since our intention was to order BBH. Actually, my intention any time I come here would be to get BBH! The BBH here is overall pretty good, but the soup is lacking some flavor. BBH soup is very rich and this was not quite there yet. I was able to get closer after dumping in several spoons of sate and a little fish sauce, but it's definitely missing something. They give a good amount of meat, but they were pretty tough. Some noodle strands were a bit under cooked. Also, the BBH was not piping hot when it came out; it was merely warm. read more

BBH hits the spot for those cold, rainy, gloomy days. I was originally reluctant to try this place but I'm hungry it's raining and cold.what other food can satisfy your cravings besides a nice hot piping bowl of Bun Bo Hue! First of all the reviews are correct the BBH bowl taste similar to Bun Bo Hue An nam, so one does not have to venture all the way to Tully to satisfy their cravings. The broth is awesome full of spices and flavors that will melt all the cold out of your system. The service was attentive and prompt. Most importantly, the restaurant is clean and modern perfectly complimenting the food. The avg price is 8-10 but it's well worth it for that perfect bowl of BBH. read more

good and legit Vietnamese cuisine and of course their bbh. alas I'm not a big fan of bbh so I'm definitely happy they have fried rice available for me. food is yummy. only docking 1 star as sometimes service is slow... sometimes so slow that i think to myself that the workers are still harvesting the rice from the fields, checking the chickens to see which ones laid eggs, and going to the supermarket to restock on vegetables. but overall I'm pleasantly happy here. read more

Bun Bo Hue, their signature dish, tastes good. I don't agree with other reviewers that it is bland. I don't know how authentic it is, but tastes good. It's definitely not as spicy as other places I've been. The side dish with vegi to be placed into the soup bowl is huge and fresh. The variety of meat is quite good. Blood is not top notched. The pork leg doesn't come with the bone. Not bad.... My only slight complaint is that the soup is not hot enough to warm all the vegi that I placed into the bowl. read more

Would have given 4 stars if they didn't charge for all the to-go containers... even charged for a small paper bag for the egg rolls...

Pro: -portion is huge! Halfway in and I was already full -decent Vietnamese cuisine. Everything is above average in terms of authenticity - they play Vietnamese music Con: - they're a lil slow. I was starving by the time my food came out - a lil loud with the music and every one talking since the place is kinda small Recommend : - bun bo hue is better than pho if you have to choose one - not on menu: dry egg noodle (mi kho) is pretty decent - special: they have homemade beef jerky (Vietnamese style) on weekend only, limited quantity Happy eating! read more

First impression the restaurant is very clean and good customer service! Menu is boring and white (bland) but straight forward without being overloaded with too many dishes. This makes it alot easier to choose what you'd want to eat- wish there was a few photos though. This place is called BBH, so I obviously opted for bun bo hue. The presentation of the food/bowl was OK, it's deep bowl with lots of soup but heavily missing more noodles. Their meat is soft, nicely sliced and there was consistency in the cuts of meat. Their broth smelled immediately of shrimp paste, I love shrimp paste but prefer to dip or add extra as I go. There honestly didn't seem to be much depth in flavor but I was starving and ate pretty quickly. They do give you plenty of veggies on the side, fresh ingredients. My boyfriend and I both agreed they need a bigger portion of noodles as we both left hungry and wanting just more, their noodles also seemed more on the broken side and a bit too soft. Good portion on broth and meats- however I wished they offered gio heo instead of duoi bo. Overall the flavor is just OK and it could be better, I didn't get the nice sliced thin green onion like I saw in the photos and there needs to be MORE noodles (that like the cheapest thing..) I honestly would prefer making the drive to Bun Bo Hue An Nam on Story Road. A little steep for $15.90 a bowl and didn't leave feeling full/satisfied. read more

Due to COVID, their menu is limited to Beef or Chicken Pho. The food quality and pho broth is very good. We ordered the Beef rice noodle pho and surprised it came with a variety of beef ingredients besides sliced meat, such as beef meatball, and jelly-like tendon. We just wanted the sliced beef, and didn't eat the other items. Wish the menu was more descriptive so we could order properly and not be wasteful. The portion was good for the price. read more

I ordered the Vegetarian vermicelli. This i s a mistake that I will never order again. Their version of vegetables means cucumbers, cabbage, mint, sprouts and the pickled carrot and radish slaw. The sauce is full of sugar and fish sauce which takes away from what could have been a healthy dish. The tofu is so over fried that there is little tofu left on the inside to keep one satiated. Ugh never ordering this again. read more

The two noodle soups that my bf and I ordered didn't exceed our expectations at all. The broth was flavorless, the meat was in uncooked chunks, and the pork blood was still runny w/ blood inside. Due to the lack of preparation, it didn't sit well in our stomachs. read more
