    Nice - pleasant dine in room
    Scarlett N.

    I usually get to go order. Do not have much dine in experience. This's the only place i go for the Steam chicken anytime i come back SJ We got : - Half chicken 5/5 : Chicken's really good very tender. Go well with fine blended green onion ginger sauce and some other sauce. - Chicken Giblets 10/5: the best best best ever. As i compare to one of my other fav shop in elk grove city. Giblets is all mixed, well cleaned - prepared. You won't get any bad smells. All very soft easy to chew. - small side of mix salad 5/5: some cabbage, Vietnamese mint leaves, reg mint. The price may seem a little bit more than the other place. But you get what you pay for. Very good quality food. Also we all know San Jose is known for expensive high tax spending. So be ready for small chicken portion with around 15 bucks . The owner's friendly and helpful. Easy to order thru phone. Very clean with locked restrooms. A plus is big private parking lot. It helps a lot for searching for parking in this busy area.

    This is our go to Vietnamese chicken spot when we can't decide what to eat. With the traditional chicken pho, lemongrass grilled chicken thighs and refreshing salads you can't go wrong. Their lemon soda is so good. Service is always fast and food is consistently delicious. And they also do chicken rice congee if you need that comfort dish. Small and family run and we are never disappointed.

    The thinnest chicken I've ever seen from a restaurant.

    I have never been served so little chicken with my cơm gà & miến gà... I'm actually shocked this place has decent ratings. The meat is paper thin. The skin is almost thicker than the meat. And there are so few pieces. Each dish was $22 before taxes and tip. So I spent over $50 for maybe 2 oz of chicken. That is insane. As for the food, the rice was unseasoned. The chicken was tasteless. The sauces are yummy, but they're the only source of flavor. That's not how cơm gà hải nam should be. I will never stray from Phở Gà An Nam again. I've learned my lesson. How are you guys eating here??? Couldn't be me. Never again.

    We love Hainan chicken and this place was rated high on Yelp and it serves all chicken. We got the Hainan Chicken plate and chicken pho. Both were a disappointment. Hainan chicken is usually all about the ginger sauce. If you mess up on the sauce then the whole dish is messed up. Well, the sauce was lacking flavor. The chicken pho was bland and lacking flavor too. The noodles were over cooked so it was mushed and soggy. It was either a bad day for the chef or we clearly ordered the wrong items. We didn't have a good experience here. The dishes were also priced at $17-$18 each. The only item we got that was good was the pandan mung bean drink. It honestly tastes like 7 Leaves in OC. Really good. 2.5 on food, the service bumped it to a 3.

    When I went during lunch time, it was not busy. The workers were friendly and we didn't wait that long for our food. Good hole in the wall spot for authentic Vietnamese food. Plenty of seating as well. I ordered the Com Ga Nam An which is hainan chicken with chicken rice. I wished they gave more pieces of chicken. The rice and chicken tasted fresh and satisfying. They provided 3 different sauces. My favorite sauce was the fish sauce. Definitely cleaned my plate at this place. The onions and the tomatoes went well with chicken and rice.The meal also came with chicken broth which went well with the dish.

    Lemongrass Chicken 100% must try! This is my comfort food every time I'm in San Jose! Simple but very delicious big serving too!

    Some of the best chicken I've ever had! The service is so hospitable too. Definitely coming back.

    Visited on a Sunday evening and the place was empty, no lines, no waits, instant service. The staff was friendly, helpful, efficient, and gave us everything we needed without even having to ask. The restaurant was clean, plenty of tables and seating inside, and two TVs at the corners, one playing a show (either on mute or really low volume), the other with changing images of nature and playing meditation music (or "healing melody" as noted on the screen), something like what you may hear at a spa or massage parlor... that was different (for a restaurant setting) but cool, as we shared conversation while enjoying our meals. We got the #3 (grilled lemongrass chicken with rice) and #11 (pho with chicken giblets). My bf especially liked the Hainan chicken pieces, and noted the tiny spicy jalapenos/ peppers that came on the side (I tried it, and it was super spicy!). I absolutely loved the grilled lemongrass chicken dish. The chicken didn't have a whole lot of seasoning but still had really good flavor, juicy and grilled perfectly with a nice char. It came with sauce/broth on the side, but didn't really need it, as it was good on its own. It was also a good-sized helping, two pieces of chicken, plenty of rice (I probably only finished half), and fresh pickled veggies that weren't too sour. Everything was tasty while not heavy on the sodium, which is exactly what we wanted. Plus we got a free soda with Yelp check-in. Overall, we had a great experience, and I'd definitely return.

    Wanted to try this place out before we moved away since we saw so many great reviews. We got the lemongrass chicken, hainan chicken, and chicken pho. Lemongrass chicken was pretty good. Really liked the sauce that they give with it. Makes it extra flavorful. Hainan chicken was surprisingly tasty. The only thing is the amount of chicken you get is insanely small. As you can see from my photo, it literally looks like one chicken drumstick sliced onto the plate. So while the chicken had good flavor...there was barely any chicken on the plate. The rice could've been more aromatic and flavorful is as well. The chicken pho was very bland. Which was surprising due to the good reviews. But the broth was incredibly under seasoned and bland. My husband liked the lemongrass chicken the best. I liked the hainan chicken the best but there just needs to be more hainan chicken on the plate. Overall I'd say it's a 3.5

    Cool find for lunch! I've walked by Com Ga Nam An many times without noticing it. Not sure how, but glad a friend/colleague said let's go. Service is super fast and friendly by the owner gentleman. Had the Hainan Chicken with chicken sticky rice, then the Grilled Lemongrass Chicken with sticky rice the second time. Both are excellent and flavorful. The portions are just right, so you don't feel like you're slogging out of the restaurant. The meal is served with a tasty broth soup, and the sticky rice reminds me of younger days in southern Asia. Had the Lime Soda drink, which was surprisingly refreshing and lasted the whole meal. Definitely one to visit and a new part of my fave list.

The pork and shrimp net egg rolls were perfectly crispy and packed with flavor, and the bánh khọt egg rolls were just as amazing. I loved wrapping everything in the fresh greens they provided, dipping each bite into the fish sauce, and adding a little sriracha for extra kick. Yes, the fish sauce smell lingers on your hands, but it's completely worth it because the flavors are incredible. There's plenty of parking since it's located in a strip mall, which made it easy and convenient to visit. If you love crispy-style egg rolls, I highly recommend this spot. I'll definitely be stopping by every time I'm in the area.

Thank you for having this spot in ESSJ and I'll be back for their catering trays for my next gathering.

The meat is so soft (I ask for medium rare) and it's cooked perfectly. It's super easy to eat and the flavor is so yummy. The red rice has a nice flavor and buttery taste to it. One thing I wanted to note is that I asked for no bell peppers and they cooked the onions perfectly. It's soft and pairs so well. I would definitely not ask for the do chua (carrot and daikon) and just sub it for extra lettuce next time. I'm literally craving the shaken beef plate again omg I gotta go back asap!

My wife and I tried it for the first time, and you can tell right away this place has been around and knows what it's doing. Simple setup; steady crowd even on a Sunday night; always a good sign. I ordered the large chicken pho, and my wife had the chicken fried rice, which she really enjoyed. The pho was excellent; rich, flavorful broth; great noodles; and a portion size that humbled me. I couldn't quite finish it, which doesn't happen often. Only minor note; I would've liked a few more vegetables, but I'm sure they would've brought more if I asked. Service is quick and efficient. Like many traditional pho spots, you eat first, then go up to the register and tell them your table number to pay; seasoned move is to remember your number and handle it like a regular. Five stars from me. I'll definitely be back; next time I've got my eye on the brisket. Honestly, it's tough to find really good pho in this part of San Jose without heading up to North San Jose or Milpitas, but if you're in the Cambrian area, this might be your spot.
