To be honest, we weren't planning to come eat here, but I'm so glad we did! The wait time for the BBH across the street was too long so we decided to come check this spot out. To my surprise, it was amazing! Great staff and extremely good food, comparable and might be even better than the competition across the street. The staff were very attentive, friendly, and kind. Always one step ahead of what we needed and the food is super tasty! The sate is at the table, so use as much as needed. Sweet, savory, with hints of lemongrass in it. I loved it, considering going back and asking if they can sell me a jar lol. Overall, no complaints here... great food, amazing service, and reasonable prices! read more

The place is pretty small with roughly 10 tables to sit from. I don't recommend going with a party of more than 5 as the spacing between tables isn't as good. Banh Bot Loc(10/10): I like the chewy texture, but I felt like it lacked flavor. Bun Mam(4/10): I was very curious about this dish so I got it. Personally, I don't think it's for me. I felt like the flavors were kind of clashing with each other, but adding lime to it made it taste a little better. Service(10/10): Our server was super nice and accommodating! Overall, I would come here again to try other dishes or if I was in the area. read more

Huynh Dining - Bún Mắm - Vietnamese Near Me - San Jose, California

Not sure why the owner reduce the portion size. Price is the same but portion is 70-80% of what it used to be. Last three times I came here, the portion definitely reduced. I'm not even full leaving this restaurant. And I don't have a big stomach or eat a huge portion compared to other people. I like this restaurant but hesitate to come back again. read more

Huynh Dining is located in the popular, uber-busy Paloma Plaza. Parking can be challenging in this tight and hustling plaza. The decor is simple with a few framed pictures of their specialty dishes. Several tables of 4 per table, so they could accommodate a couple of large parties of 8+ people. House music playing. One unisex restroom. The service was friendly, thoughtful, and welcoming. Vietnamese Ice Coffee (4/5). Bold, strong expresso with the right amount of condensed milk. Guaranteed to give you that oomph you need. Bun Bo Duoi Bo: spicy noodle soup, beef shank, tendon, ham, pork & blood cubes - oxtail (4/5). Spicy and sour broth came out with the right amount of heat. Others can request more shrimp paste & chili sauce if needed. The round noodles had the right amount of texture and softness. The meats were pretty good, though one of the ham slices could have been more tender. Support your local business. read more

The Banh Beo here is incredible. Soft, fluffy, and topped with pork rinds that add the perfect savory crunch to the sweet nuoc mam. The jalapeño is extremely spicy, so be careful. This dish is an absolute must order. I rarely find Banh Beo made this well anywhere else. The Banh Bot Loc was alright. It was not my favorite from this spot, and I think there are better versions elsewhere, but it was still decent. The Bun Bo Hue leans sweeter than usual, but once I added lime and shrimp paste it balanced out really well. The portion of meat is not the most generous, but I appreciate that they give you a larger bowl so you can easily add all the veggies. You also get your own plate of vegetables instead of sharing, which is a huge bonus for me! Service was extremely attentive 5/5. Dishes were cleared almost instantly, and you can tell this is a hardworking mom and pop shop. Everyone here puts in effort, and it really shows. read more

If Hue Resturuant is ever super busy, come to Huynh! It's in the same plaza right across the street from Hue. They serve similar if not the same type of vietnamese dishes at this place and it's just as good! The service was a bit slow but totally worth it! It's a spacious place for bigger parties to come eat! I got the BBH and it was packed with flavor and veggies! They even have the oxtail version! Come give it a try! read more

This place have high ratings and we had check it out for ourselves. We went there for lunch on a weekday and this place was almost completely empty. They have an extensive menu. We ordered the Banh Beo, Banh Bot Loc, Bun Bo Duoi Bo, and Bun Tom Thit Nuong Cha Gio. The Banh Beo was mediocre, nothing special about it. The Banh Bot Loc looked as bad as it tasted. The Bun Bo Duoi Bo only had one small piece of oxtail in it. The broth was just ok. The Bun Tom Thit Nuong Cha Gio was one of the worst we ever had. The grilled pork was kinda on the tough side and it wasn't charred enough. It was lack of flavor as well. There are some many other Vietnamese restaurants in San Jose that serve better food. We were disappointed with our experience at this restaurant. read more

My daughter insisted that we try out this restaurant that's serving "Huế" dishes. We came to check it out and it did not disappoint. Besides Bún Bò (or bún bò), we ordered bánh bèo, bánh ít ram, and bánh xèo. The bánh xèo was crunchy, the bánh ít ram was soft and chewy with the bonus crunch at the end, and the bánh bèo was right on with the right amount of crushed shrimp on each plate. I absolutely loved it because I now have options when craving Central Vietnamese dishes. I forgot to mention the Bún Bò: the broth was fragrant with lemongrass, and the spices were perfectly blended in with the broth. It wasn't that spicy; however, after adding in the extra chili, it was perfect. The restaurant is clean and the service is spot on. The parking for this restaurant can be tricky on the weekend, so plan accordingly. I definitely will be back the next time I am craving Huế dishes. read more

Great Vietnamese food! This establishment has a menu that offers many choices and delivers wonderful quality dishes quickly. All of our choices were great. My favorite was the bun xeo, crisp and generously filled with pork whole shrimp and sprouts. Served with fresh herbs and leafy lettuce this dish was outstanding. My other favorite was the #1 appetizer, individually tiny cups of freshly steamed rice noodle batter topped with ground shrimp, and served with pork rind and a sauce that is perfect. Do yourself a favor and try #1; it's simply so delicious! Service was top notch and or food was ready very quickly. I look forward to returning for more great food! read more

Final Thoughts: 4.21/5 My friends and I wanted a really simple dinner today and we were in the same plaza for a matcha drink, so we decided to stop by and this try place today. We honestly didn't want anything too heavy, so a lot of the food items that we got were just light foods. No entrees today and just a flight of appetizers. Kind of a fun thing to do since we were able to get a taste a little bit of everything. Overall, quite satisfied with this dining experience. It's really nothing extravagant, but it was just a simple dinner day. Food: Nem Cuốn: 4.3/5 This was personally my favorite dish here today. It's one of my go-to dishes because it's simple and refreshing, especially for a hot summer day. Their meat isn't the best that I have had, but it'll do. Perhaps it's missing another component to it, so it seemed kind of one dimensional on the seasoning. Not super oily, but didn't feel dry at the same time, which I appreciate. Ratio of protein to veggies is alright here. Definitely filling, which I really like. Works nicely with their fish sauce. They don't have the specific sauce for this roll though, which is a little disappointing, but their fish sauce did it just fine. Bánh Bột Lọc: 4.2/5 Second favorite on the table today. The ones provided seem to be the ones that are steamed in little bowls or pre-peeled because they didn't have the leaves present and was just in the little dish. The dough was a little too chewy for my liking. Not too much bite to it. Smelled quite nice and fresh. Meat was nicely seasoned and there was this nice layer of oil brushed on top and garnished with green onions and the fried pork fat (tép mỡ). It is exactly what it sounds like. Not the best for the arteries, but amazing for the soul. Super crispy and adds a nice texture component. Bánh Nậm: 4.2/5 This item was inside of the banana leaf today and what it is is a flat dough with minced meat and protein inside. Flavor profile is similar to bánh bèo. The dough has more of the bite here and the finish is an opaque dough versus a translucent one. Gỏi Cuốn Tôm: 4.0/5 This dish was also quite average for me. The shrimps were pretty plump, which is nice. What made this dish was the dipping sauce. Their peanut sauce is quite good. Something I like is the consistency of it. Very thick and very peanuty. Leans on being almost too peanuty for me actually. I would have liked more of the hoisin sauce, but that is a personal preference. Bánh Bèo: 4.0/5 There's really nothing too special about this dish. It's essentially steamed dough. The dough also doesn't have much chew to it either. This one cut really easily. I think what makes this dish is the fish sauce. Super simple, but quite the good appetizer. I appreciate the hefty amount of the finely minced shrimps for that umami flavor. This one is also topped off with the fried pork fat for that texture component. That combined with the fish sauce is really nice. Bì Cuốn: 3.8/5 This was my least favorite of the flight. Something about just the bì standing alone as the protein for this dish seemed really off. Seems to be just a preference thing for me. The sauce is really what tried to save it, but it still wasn't my favorite for today. Filling, veggies, and vermicelli are all added into this roll. The size is a fair size too, so at least that's satisfying. --------- Quality: Fair Their vegetables inside of the rolls appeared nice and green. Love the crunch from the lettuce inside. The rice paper was still nice and hydrated, so they seem to be made to order, which I appreciate. Other items are probably steamed and made in advance and then just reheated. Makes sense since these may take a while. The food came out quickly though, so I don't imagine that being the case. Price: Average perhaps For the items that we got today, I believe the price is quite average. I say average because their rolls do seem slightly smaller than what I have gotten from other restaurants. They appear longer, but significantly skinnier. Perhaps I prefer this though because the ratio is better. For appetizers, the range is within $6 to $8. Entrees will currently range from $16 to $19. Service: Sweet They were very nice. Nothing too significant to note. Took our order, brought out the foods, and then we paid at the front at the end. I appreciate our waitress repeating our order back to us though since we did get a flight of items like that. Ambiance: Small and homey The interior is your average Vietnamese restaurant. Quite the small area, but it seems to work for them. Just three columns of tables and very simple interior. Location/Parking: Paloma Plaza This plaza is not my favorite plaza to be at. Yes, they do have a lot of restaurants and little boba shops here, which is nice. Highly saturated with Asian foods. For parking, the spaces can be small and finding parking can sometimes be a task. Drivers here are interesting too. Kind of just never know what you're going to see around here. read more

It seems like ownership or chef has changed. The restaurant is clean and isn't cramp. I found the wait staff to be attentive especially for a Vietnamese restaurant. I find their quantity of meat and noodles to be the same as Hue. Their BBH tasted different from what I remembered and it has more shrimp paste (mam ruoc), giving it a more seafood flavor. Not a fan of seafood tasting BBH so its now a 4 star for me. read more

Wandered in on Saturday for lunch because it was one of the least crowded restaurants in the plaza. Turned out to be one of the best decisions because it was actually a great meal. BÁNH BÈO: Served in a set of 6 small dishes with one pork chicharron and plenty of dried minced shrimp. Texture was chewy, not the best i've had? but not terrible! BÁNH RAM ÍT: 3 pillowy glutinous rice dumplings filled with pork and shrimp on top of a crispy deep fried mochi with a bit of filling also, which was so pleasant. I would order this appetizer again! MÌ QUÃNG: The star of the show! It is served with plenty of sliced pork, two large shrimp, sliced green onions, regular onions, in a light tomato based sauce (not soup)! It was not tomato-forward at all and had it not been for the few small pieces of tomato, i wouldn't have even guessed. It came with a piece of sesame rice cracker - not really crispy, more on the stale side unfortunately. But i feel like the cracker was negligible anyway. Returning for this whenever i'm craving it. Large portion as well! The table has a container of chili, lemongrass paste that is soo good. It's not a sate or chili oil. It has a thicker consistency with just the right amount of spice and a little citrus flavor to it. Really enhances the mì quãng noodle dish. The service was better than many restaurants and I did notice that the server/waitress would put on gloves to clean dirty tables and then remove them in the back when she finished cleaning. Each time she helped us the gloves would be off and hidden from view. It was simple to get her attention if we needed anything since she was looking out at the tables. read more

This place is very underrated. I can't understand why people would wait an hour for Huế Restaurant across the street when Huỳnh Dining is just as good if not better and without a wait. We walked right in on a Sunday at 12pm. Service was fast. The food quality here is very good. The banh beo, bánh nam, and it ram are all solid. Today was my first time trying the bánh xèo and it was excellent - very thin batter and super crispy. Highly recommend. read more

Bun Bo with oxftail: 4/5. Minus one star for two tiny oxtail pieces for $2 extra than Ty e regular Bun Bo. Definitely not worth it. Otherwise, it's on the above average side. Just order the regular or one with the pork knuckle. Service-wise, there isn't much, but definitely not the worst among Vietnamese restaurants. The waiter was very polite tho. This place needs more TLC. Will be back for other items. read more

I had placed an online order through their website and 1 hour went by no delivery yet. The tracker said it was delivered which wasn't the case.

The service here was friendly and efficient, which we appreciated, but unfortunately, the food fell short of expectations. What we ordered: Soda Chanh - Mostly tasted like plain sparkling water. Needed more lime and sweetness to balance it properly. Banh Beo - Decent, but nothing memorable. I've had better versions elsewhere. Banh Nam - I'm not sure how it was cooked but it had a prominent taste of the bamboo leaf it was wrapped it. We couldn't finish this. Bun Bo Gio Heo - We enjoyed this dish! Bun Tom Thit Nuong Cha Gio - The grilled pork was disappointingly dry and tough, and the shrimp tasted like dish water. Bò Lúc Lắc - The beef was okay. I could taste ketchup while eating the tomato rice. I don't plan on returning. There are better options for Vietnamese cuisine in the area. read more

I've been back at least another 5 times, I can't get enough of this! I even went back to Hue Restaurant and agree it's good, but something about Huynh Dining's BBH soup just tastes cleaner and lighter without compromising on the flavor. I've introduced this spot to some friends and their families and they agree that the quality of their food here is so much better. My bf loves their Shaken Beef. The beef cubes are tender, lean and not super fatty, well seasoned and cooked very well. I wish they played some pop or some mellow music in the background because it's a fairly small restaurant and you can hear everyone. Other than that, I love it here. read more

Huynh Dining is THE spot to go to if you want authentic Viet apps. They got it all here: banh khot, banh beo, banh xeo, and of course the more well known entrees like bun bo hue and Shaken Beef. Try to come here with a large group so you are able to sample as much as possible - definitely more enjoyable family style. The vibe here is definitely no-frills and casual but come here for the food and not the ambiance. read more

It's been awhile since we dined at Huynh. I was craving banh beo and mi quang but didn't want to deal with the crowd at Hue, so we decided to try out Huynh again. We came around 11:30am on a Saturday and the restaurant was less than half full. I liked that they didn't crowd the tables so it felt more spacious inside..good when dining with toddlers. We ordered.. BANH BEO (5) $5.95 -ground shrimp over rice cake with fish sauce. The banh beo came out warm, soft and tasted fresh. They didn't skimp on the ground shrimp either. Each plate came with a fluffy chicharron. 4/5* BANH RAM IT (3) $6.75 -steamed sticky rice atop fried sticky rice dumpling with fish sauce. Inside there was pork and tiny shrimp. The fried dumpling was crispy and not oily. 4/5* MI QUANG $15.95 -turmeric yellow noodle, pork, shrimp, rice cracker, vegetables and peanuts. The noodles were perfectly cooked, they had a nice bouncy chew to them. The broth was delicious, especially after squeezing lime and adding some chili sate. My husband thought it was a bit sweet but it was perfect for me. They gave a good amount of tender pork and 2 fresh shrimps. I liked how they put the veggies on the side so I could add what I liked, as much as I wanted. 5/5* BUN BO GIO HEO $16.95 -spicy noodle soup, beef shank, tendon, ham, pork and blood cubes with pork knuckle. My husband asked for very spicy but he said it wasn't that spicy. The broth was a bit sweet for him so he squeezed in a lot of lime in and added chili sate for more heat. Meat was okay, decent amount of meat but "the pork knuckle was a bit hairy". The noodles were cooked well, not overcooked. 3.5/5* Service was good, waitress was around when we needed anything. I would come back again if I was craving hue food! They also offer vegetarian options. read more

Mom and pop shop with good ambiance. Has the feel of a typical Vietnamese restaurant, but clean and minimalistic. The service is good. I ordered banh beo and bun thit nuong.. The banh beo is alright, and the fish sauce is tweaked for that dish to be slightly sweeter. Unfortunately, they added stale dau chao quay on top, so that wasn't great. Bun thit nuong was tasty overall, but I gotta say they didn't grill the meat. It's cooked stovetop, which is fine and how I make it at home. But at a restaurant, I would expect proper grilling. read more

We went on a Monday afternoon, but it was a holiday so I was worried there could be a wait but to my surprise there was none! I had this place on my try list for a while but never had the chance to come by and I wish I came sooner. We got the banh beo, bún riêu, and bún bò Huế. All these dishes were so good! And the prices were very reasonable. My friend who's vegetarian also loved his version of the banh beo and said it was the best he's ever had. I would highly recommend this place and there's plenty of options for those with dietary restrictions read more

I was super excited to try this place after reading the review that said this was the head chef from Hue. I loved the BBH from Hue and it was very noticeable when it changed. So I was looking forward to eating the same delicious BBH I got from Hue previously. I was utterly disappointed. The broth lacks depth, it's bland, diluted and bordering flavorless. What a massive let down. Don't get the Bun Bo Hue! Not worth it. read more

I have been eyeing this spot since its opening but I always put my faith into Hue restaurant cause it *usually* doesn't disappoint. However, when the line was outrageously long for Hue, I opted to give Huynh Dining a try. The menu offers Hue favorites like banh beo, banh nam, rice dishes and various noodle options. The service was nice with friendly young workers that check on you and refill your water. The banh beo here is decent. The rice flour patties are steamed, a bit more doughy than I'm used to. The shrimp topping has a nice briney sweet and salty flavor. The fish sauce on the side is slightly sweet and just a touch of spice. The pork rind is definitely the best part because it adds that zest of fat and crunchy texture. The pork chop rice plate was perfection. Its everything you want. The pork chop is juicy with a hint of brown sugar flavor. The shredded pork is fabulous with a soft tender texture. The egg cake was sweet and flavorful with all the noodles inside. All around, this is a great dish. I would come again as the food quality was rather impressive and the wait times are much more reasonable than the surrounding food options. read more

I've been coming here for about a year now. I'm still loving their bbh (bun bo hue). I can't say enough how generous they are with the meat. I'm stuffed every time I eat here. Halfway into my bbh and I'm thinking should I bring half home? Somehow I always end up finishing the whole bowl. It's that good fellas. Today my wife and daughter ordered the shaking beef with garlic noodles. Let me tell you first that my youngest is the hardest to please. She says "I don't like it" before even trying. Today, she ate several cubes of tender beef with a side order of rice. I'm so pleased with this restaurant. You order these 2 dishes and you won't be disappointed. read more

Satisfied all of my Viet food cravings! Decided to give this place a try because I was craving Bun Rieu. This place has a very similar menu from the restaurant right across called Hue, which I usually go to. Lots of the same appetizers and main dishes. It was pretty small and way less busy than across the street but the food was absolutely amazing. To start off, I ordered the Banh Nam and Banh Beo as our appetizers. Both were so amazing and had such a yummy ground shrimp flavor. Both were priced at about $5 each which was such a good deal. I also had a fresh coconut which was also very refreshing and sweet. For my main I ordered the Bun Rieu which had the be the best Bun Rieu I have ever had in my life. The tomato flavor was so rich and even the crab ball was great. I never usually get to finish my soup but I ate up every bite of this. My boyfriend ordered the Bun Bo Hue which he said was okay. I will definitely be returning to this place whenever I want Viet food! Great service and great food! read more

LET ME TELL YOU, Vietnamese Aunties are the BEST at getting the inside scoop of the gossip. My Aunt told me the head chef from Hue opened her own place right across. Hue purposely put up a sign that stated "#1 Bun Bo Hue" the moment Hyunh opened up. That's some juicy rivalry going on. How true is all this?? I have no idea, but she said she got very reliable sources so Imma roll with it. .:: FOOD ::. Banh Beo $6.95: ground shrimp over rice cakes. Definitely tasting very similar to Hue. Thin rice cakes and crunchy pork rinds on top. Bun Bo $15.95: BBH, spicy noodle soup with beef shank, tendon, ham, pork and blood cubes. It was actually SUPER spicy, for me but I'm also a weak sauce. I had to take away the top layer of the spiciness to continue eating. Even though it was painful, it was pretty good flavor wise. Very homey and authentic .:: Service / Ambiance / Parking ::. My aunt and I came here on a Sunday afternoon and there was a waitlist. We waited about 10 min to be seated. Our waiter spoke both English and Vietnamese but my aunt took care of everything on the ordering part. Food came in about 10ish minutes after we ordered. Each bowl gets it's own garnishing dish. The place is very simple. Not much decor. There were about 9 tables in there, smaller parties. The restaurant is located in a very busy plaza with everything in there. So it does get difficult sometimes. But I never had any trouble finding a spot. read more

Came here on a weeknight and it wasn't as busy as they do on the weekends! Huynh is a no-frills type of Vietnamese pho place. I got the bun rieu and it was packed with different ingredients. The server was helpful in guiding us through the menu and the food arrived quickly. I always hate it when pho is lukewarm but this one arrived steaming hot and was a great portion. I have tried their bun bo hue before (what they're known for) but I think I may enjoyed the flavor of the bun rieu a bit more! read more

TLDR: pretty good BBH! Would definitely recommend to friends and come again. We usually go to Hue for BBH, but we decided to give this newer (?) restaurant a shot. We don't live in SJ anymore, so this was a new place for us at least. Inside is clean and small. The wait staff was chill. So the food. It's good. My fiancee and I both ordered the BBH, mine just had the oxtail in it. We also got the #1 appetizer (I forgot what it's called). The soup itself is what you would expect from good BBH, but a little sweeter than Hue's. They gave a healthy amount of meat and the oxtail was soft and the meat fell off the bone. I really liked their BBH. The noodles were soft and chewy. The appetizer was also really good. They had a lot of shrimp powder on top which I really appreciate because I really like that flavor. Overall, this is a good restaurant and I wouldn't hesitate to come back when I find myself in SJ again. read more

Tried Huynh Dining recently, and it was kind of a mixed experience us. I got the Bun Bo Tai, and my boyfriend got the Bun Bo Duoi Bo. It was my first time seeing Bun Bo Tai on a menu, which was super cool! The tai (rare beef) was really tender and had a great texture, but it made the broth way too sweet for me. My boyfriend's oxtail was nice and tender, but honestly, the bun bo broth itself was just okay--pretty bland overall. They have ot sa te (Vietnamese chili sauce) on the table so you can add your own spice, but even after adding a lot, it wasn't spicy at all, which was disappointing. The best thing we had was definitely the Banh Beo--it was so good and probably one of the best we've had anywhere. That dish alone might be worth coming back for. Overall, it was alright. The Banh Beo was amazing, but the bun bo didn't wow us. read more

Brought my parents here for brunch on a Sunday, and they greatly enjoyed their meals. To have my mom compliment their broth warrants a five-star rating in my book. The staff was super nice, especially to our baby. Upon being seated, our waitress was quick to bringing out a booster for our little one. The rest of the staff was nothing but smiles when she looked at them. My family of four each ordered an appetizer and main dish. They were so fast with making our food that we didn't have time to finish our bánh bèo quick enough to clear the table. We felt rushed to devour our appetizers to make space for our Bún bò Huế. We asked but they couldn't slow down making/bringing out our orders. This may be our favorite BBH spot now. read more

Love this hole in the wall! It's in the same plaza as Hue. My dad used to make my fav bún nước lèo all the time but ever since I moved out, I haven't had much of a chance to eat it. I've been looking for a place for forever in SJ that makes something similar and so far this is the only place I know of. The flavor of the Bún mắm was so strong and pungent. The fermented fishy soup is not something everyone likes so it's definitely hard to find. There was so much meat in there ranging from pork belly, shrimp, fish fillet and squid to veggies like eggplant and bittermelon. The staff was nice, I love the soup so much I asked for extra soup and the staff happily obliged. Will definitely come again for this! read more
