A convenient local restaurant that's been around for 13 years. It's a quick, casual Vietnamese restaurant and the owner is very nice. The sandwiches and vermicelli bowls are super fresh, and the service is fast enough that I'm in and out in no time. If you need a solid, high-quality meal without the post-lunch slump, this is the spot. read more

Enough to satisfy that bahn mi craving but nothing beats the sandwiches in San Jose. Prompt service. Order ahead for quick pick ups. And nothing fancy. read more

3.25 stars We stopped by to grab a quick lunch before going to Costco nearby. It's not a regular pho restaurant as we originally had expected. The interior is small without much ambiance to speak of. You just order using the kiosk and seat yourselves. There weren't many choices of pho, binh MI or Rice plates and prices seem a little higher than average. We ordered a filet mignon and a meatball pho. They were working on a couple of take out orders so we waited 15+ minutes to get the food The pho we got were decent with clean tasting broth, equivalent to a small in amount of noodles although cooked well. The filet pho had 3 small pieces of tender beef and 3 pieces of well done not so tender meat. Beef balls were more generous with the protein. The owner lady told us that they don't use fatty beef or msg which explains the lighter flavors. Food was brought to the table and the rest room was clean. We probably won't be coming back for our pho fix, unless if we want something light and healthy. read more

Ordered via takeout. I got the pulled chicken bahn mi, and it was packed with fresh veggies like carrots, cucumber, cilantro which made it feel like a healthy, light option. The baguette was nicely very good. Everything tasted clean, but the sandwich just needed something perhaps more sauce or more flavor in the chicken. For the price, I expected a slightly bigger portion. Takeout pickup was quick and easy, but overall the value wasn't quite there. Not bad, but I'd probably order something else next time. read more

So far I've tried their mock beef banh mi, vegan fish po'boy, vegan chicken po'boy, and their vegan and gluten free double chocolate cake. All of the food has tasted amazing, and their mock meats are really really impressive. Also appreciate the extensive vegan menu. My only complaint is that the menu is extremely pricey especially for the small portion size, these sandwiches are smaller than usual for a banh mi yet also more expensive. read more

Dinner was very fresh and attractive. Veggies/cilantro/basil/sprouts/green onions in perfect crisp, tasty condition. Flavor of Seafood Pho was good. Garlic fries were very tasty, sauce has a lil tiny spicy bite to it that most people would enjoy. Vegan coconut curry was good. Wontons were scrumptious. Thai ice tea wasn't the best. Will probably go back and try other menu items. Love that they have vegetarian and vegan options as well as meat! read more

This place is incredible. Delicious and authentic pho and the rare place that prioritizes organic ingredients. If you love pho and want to live a long life this is the place. Friendly staff and great atmosphere. read more

If you're in the area and need a quick bite then it's a decent option. But don't expect a superb bahn mi here. The prices are high, $12.95 before tax for a regular sized bahn mi. Surprised it didn't come with jalapeños and not much carrots/radish . The grilled chicken was aright. They have other dishes available like curry and pho. Lots of parking Few tables inside/outside read more

Great service. Great food. Had their bun bo hue and it was filling. Their lunch box is also worth the amount you get!

I was very surprised how good this place was. We decided to get takeout, which I never like because the food is always better dining in, but it was last minute and the place was close. We got the curry chicken, banh mi, some pho and a few appetizers. After trying the shrimp bread I was like WHOA WHAT IS THIS?! Pretty blown away by the flavor. The curry was the 1-2 punch, also a fresh flavor bomb! I will say the pho and banh mi were decent but nothing as good as you can get in East SJ. Doesn't matter really tho because the other items were very good. Definitely will return! read more

Unusual Vietnamese as it has a healthy brand to it. The Vietnamese chicken salad is good and clear of fat as is the shrimp salad we had. I saw but didn't order pho that also was laced with more vegetables then you normally find at such places and also looked exceedingly clean and fresh! I will go back for another sampling of different dishes. It's just plain delicious and you don't feel fill or bloated or sloshing after run ‍ read more

I love this place. I live close by so it's very convenient and the food is good. The shop is small but doesn't concern me since I'm in and out. Recommend this place for Vietnamese sandwiches, soup and more read more

The food is always great and fresh. Clean food. I love the people there. Don't get me started on the desserts! Love this place.

Their veggie pho is excellent! I'm not even a vegetarian - I just happen to be in the mood of opting for something that has no meat in it. Turns out veggie pho tastes better than all the beef phos I had in the past (no here - this is my first time here). Very happy with my experience! read more

I came for lunch and ordered pho. There were nobody at the restaurant even though it was 12:30pm that is normally busy lunch time. The pho with beef is priced at $17.99. Even though there were no customers, it still took about 15 minutes for them to bring the pho to me. The soup is not hot enough. And soup is not very tasty. I think that explains why nobody eating here. The price is very high while the food is so so. read more

I have not been to this restaurant in 5 years after moving to Sacramento, but when I lived here I would come in every payday and treat myself to the lemongrass curry chicken. I should have left the good and savory memories there, because I made the mistake to stop in while in the area. NOTHING in the dish tasted the same. It was watery, the potatoes were Idahos, no lemongrass to be seen, the carrots were old, the brown rice was not wholesome, and I could not even taste the creaminess of the coconut milk..shall I go on? With the kind of music playing overhead, I could bet $ the ownership has changed. A waste of $20. I absolutely will never, ever come back here again. Period!! read more

The food here is great! I've both eaten in and had food to go. The Pho is amazing! I love their Thai Iced Tea and their spring rolls. I am gluten intolerant and geht have tons of choices. I hear their bread is good, too, though I can't try it read more

For the first time, I took a many people to Big Bites: there were 5 of us. We sat around a regular table, two people on each of the long sides and one person at one of the short sides, and we were comfortable, but the staff offered to move two tables together for us, so that is an option. There was nobody else but us: we essentially had the eatery to ourselves to enjoy a meal and conversation. The food was wonderful. I do not eat shrimp but even to me the shrimp spring rolls ordered by our party looked cute. Chicken pho is as good as fillet mignon pho I reviewed earlier. On a later occasion, we took pho to go to enjoy on a patio and I was amazed by how well the food was packed to go, with broth packaged separately. read more

I've had their grilled beef noodle bowl and grass-fed filet mignon pho on separate occasions. The beef bowl had a good balance of protein, vegetables, and noodles, with the right amount of seasoning. The pho was decent, but I've had better broth at other places. read more

This place is a woman owned business so I had to show my support! I got the shrimp toast which was good but a bit pricey for 6 bucks. Eep! The pork vermicelli bowl was so good though . I'm glad I ordered the app because I was hungry! It had a good amount of rice noodles and vegetables. I absolutely loved it as it had a good amount of flavor with the fish sauce combination. The pork was very tender. I could eat so much cilantro haha so I was glad this had a generous amount. This was a delightful meal! read more

Vietnamese Chicken Salad with dressing on the side. High quality, the owner cares about the food. Best vietnamese chicken I have had: hand shredded boiled/steamed breast. Not overcooked and not the cheap chicken you find at other places, freshly fried shallots for crunch. Can tell they aren't canned. Rauram, classic pairing w/chicken. Contrast w/mint. This is better than the places in ESJ because google employees in Mtn View are willing to pay extra for better quality food. They are spoiled by free organic food. Delicious!!!! Let's see how the pho ga is... read more

$14.95 for a banh mi! This place is so over priced. I can't believe that people actually pay astronomical prices for a casual plaza diner. Food orders take so long too. So this is why I'm giving them a 1 star. read more

My dad and I were looking for a good Bahn mi sandwich to have because we were going to have dinner on the go. I called this place through Yelp and was confident we'd receive something good. One of the workers picked up and I can barely hear what they were saying. It's as if they had the phone smashed on their face. I know the area pretty well and I asked the worker where they were located on Shoreline and he repeated the address several times which is fine but I was already on Shoreline. I just needed to know where they were. When I asked if our sandwiches could be made with tofu, he said no and then corrected his self as if he didn't know what I was asking. The location is easy to see, and for the most part it was clean. I was surprised to see Mexican treats on the menu in a place that serves Vietnamese food The sandwiches were nothing special. The tofu tasted more like it had Chinese seasoning to it than Vietnamese. After a while, both my dad and I had some digestive issues from the food. Honestly, it was a subway sandwich with Asian seasoning but it was not like any other bahn mi I have ever had. Although there was nothing terrible about this food, the entire experience along with the mediocre food was enough for me not to go back. read more

The packing on the Vegetarian Pho I ordered was simply superb. Each segment of the noodle soup is well packed. The broth is also vegan. Great portions of rice noodle, vegetables and the flavor makers like basil leaves, lime, etc. It also came with hot and sweet sauces. Overall, a yummy Pho. read more

Your restaurant is a BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG disgrace to the name. "Big Bites" is a rip off and deserve to go under. You charged people 3 or 4 times higher for just the mediocre at best foods and gave a bitsy, tiny, puny, pee-wee amount of foods on disposable bowls with disposable utensils. "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me" To everyone else thinking of coming to eat at this place, please DON'T since you will definitely be disappointed and will surely feel being rip off !!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

I stopped in here to grab a sandwich for lunch. I order the pork banh mi. This is a very good sandwich, the bread was crispy and delicious as it should be in this sandwich. There weren't many people in the place, but you can see they do a good take out business. The only downside that I can see is they don't accept cash, it's cards only. I will go back here again sometime. read more

The food took forever, however, I would be find, but the taste and the look of the fish rice porridge is beyond disappointing! Also the Vietnamese iced coffee taste so bad! Not authentic flavors at all! read more

Big Bites Vietnamese Eatery - This is not rice porridge, the consistency is more of a pudding. The flavor is not authentic and all you can taste is salt. - Vietnamese Near Me - Mountain View, California

This is a bit of a weird place. It is technically a Vietnamese place and the food is consistent as such. However, it doesn't look like a Vietnamese place and the name certainly doesn't sound Vietnamese. I think their specialty is banh mi but I was not in the mood for a sandwich so I didn't order that. Perhaps that's my fault. I was in the mood for something warm so I decided to take a chance on the beef stew. The flavor was good but there was very little beef in it. If anything, I'd say that this is more of a carrot stew as there was a lot of carrot in it. don't get me wrong, I still liked it. I just wished there was more beef in the beef stew. The place is small but is a good lunch place. The service was fast and effecient so one can be in and out in a short amount of time. Maybe I'll come back for a bahn mi next time. read more

Purchased a party tray of BBQ Pork noodles for a family party. When I arrived to the party, I realized they didn't provide me with the sauce to go with the dish. If you know anything about this entree, you need to have the sauce. On top of that, they had burnt the bbq pork on one side. I called the store to see what they could do and they said that it was their fault and would provide me with a $60 credit the next time I purchased anything from them; they simply instructed me to ask the manager for the credit. I called me a few months later (COVID-19 struck) to redeem the credit. By this time the manager I spoke with left the business and the owner refused to honor the credit. read more
