    Dong Que is always poppin' with lots of locals visiting. The food is super authentic and very delicious. The service is attentive. It's easy to order a bunch of dishes because everything looks so good, and the bill can add up quick, so pace yourself!

    Service was quick, food was so good. This is a great spot if you are looking for street style Vietnamese food.

    Fake phony customer service . Was waited on once ,,, Served and left to dry ,,, Never asked if my guest and I needed anything... The food looks nice but the taste is BLAND , Full of what seem like msg saturation. My guest and I walked away with indigestion !!! The place sucks !!!!

    Continues to have the best snails and clams around. Our favorite spot everytime we roll into town here. Great staff and service. Never disappoints.

    I gave this place two more chances. 1. Went at noon for lunch with Vietnamese friends on a weekday. The place was pretty empty maybe 1/8 full, the food was awesome. Everything tasted great. The Oc was well seasoned and buttery. Service was acceptable. 2. Went for dinner on a Sunday night with non Vietnamese friends, the place was packed. The Oc was tasteless, dry and not fresh. Waiter got 1 of 4 orders wrong. The waiters don't speak English well enough to know for me to know if they understood they got the order wrong, tried to take back two dishes instead of just the wrong one. I had to get up to find an English speaking waiter to confirm they understood the issue. The replacement came was not only tasteless but burnt. Did they use high heat to rush the order?? Don't do that! Not sure if you have to come with Vietnamese speaking friends to get decent food. I'm going to say it's a hit or miss and leave it at that.

    Super authentic Vietnamese restaurant. I loved seeing the wide range of demographic come through here. You got the aunties in here along with the younger crowd celebrating birthdays. So you know the food was going to be good seeing all the different age groups here. The food was delicious. The things I would order again are the banana blossom chicken salad (favorite dish), canh chua, oysters and snails. The banana blossom salad was incredible. It was super light and came with an oniony taste to it. Loved it a lot. The oysters were also delicious. It reminded me of what I had in Danang. I would pass on the chicken wings. They are kinda small and not worth the price. The shrimp was okay; once you get pass the shell, the inside was unseasoned. Service was decent. It gets very packed and you have to call out to get their attention. Don't be shy! They are hustling hard and you gotta use your voice or hand gestures to get what you need !

    We came on a weekday evening and it was pretty crowded. We got canh mong toi, muop, cua dong; Goi Bao Tu Leoi Heo, Ca Com Trung Chien Gion Mam Me, and Oc Len Xao Dua. Food was good, and I would definitely come back to try the other dishes. They have a parking lot, but it's very small. We usually have to wait around to get a parking spot. Service is ok: you need to call someone to get their attention, and may wait a bit to be seated.

    Food is always amazing here. The seafood is always fresh and cooked to perfection. I think this is one of the best Vietnamese seafood / "snail" places around California. The bad: - need to constantly follow up with the servers and staff if you haven't received your food after 10 minutes.. chances are they forgot or the queue got messed up. - they always ask for cash tip vs leaving it on the credit card settlement, just pretty annoying and can come across as scummy.

    Came here on a Wednesday night and to my surprise it got fairly busy pretty fast after we sat down! We had a party of 7 and they were very accommodating. We had to remind our server a couple of times about our order since the servers got overwhelmed with the amount of parties going in. The food was delicious and their service was good. The ambiance can be like a chilling party hangout or a family fun outing. They have multiple private rooms for large parties as well!

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.
