Side soup
Michelle H.

Service: sit yourself anywhere. Waitress came to our table quickly and food was served fast. Inside a vietnamese-dominated plaza, but staff spoke English. Bring your order up to the counter to pay. Card accepted. Ambiance: place was spacious and well-lit. Plenty of tables. Not much in terms of decorations. Variety of music played throughout my meal and at a decent volume. Perfect place for a casual meal. Food: 5/5 ordered the special spicy Cambodian noodles, dry (#2). Broth that came on the side was really yummy and had a huge chunk of meat. Could eat a whole pot of it. The noodle dish had a nice variety of protein and portion size was perfect for the price. Definitely be prepared for the sour tang (if you don't like that, I would order the normal version (#1)). Condiments on the table if you want to add more flavor. I loved the green peppers!

Visited for lunch on a weekday. Service was decent and yhe restaurant was clean. Noodle dish was good but I've had better at other places. 3.5 overall.

Mi Nam Vang Dac Biet
Tiffany S.

There's so many delicious options in Century City mall, but was excited to see a new spot pop up recently, N & K Noodle. You don't see this style of noodles too much (primarily Nam Vang in SJ), so we were excited to give it a shot. We came on a weekend and there was no wait. Parking in the century city mall is always pretty tough though! We got the Mi Nam Vang Dac Biet, which is the original Cambodian noodle with all the toppings (shrimp, pork, liver, etc.). You can choose between dry and soup. If you choose dry, you get a side soup which comes with a huge beef rib! The noodles itself were well cooked and the toppings were extensive. Wish there was slightly more sauce though! We also tried their stir fried rice noodle dish, Banh Lot Xao Nam Vang. It's basically a Cambodian style beef chow fun and it was really delicious! The noodles were stir fried well and it had a lot of flavor. Thought there were slightly too many bean sprouts for my liking. Service is fast and efficient. Excited to come back and try more of their dishes!

My favorite hu tieu nam vang in SJ! I always get the brothless special and brothless spicy/sour version. This spot takes first place for me because the flavor profile is always just right, bowls come with plenty of meat (and in the broth, which some spots don't do), and the pickled chili peppers take it to the next level. Consistently great quality and offerings overall. Service is excellent, restaurant is spacious and clean, and whoever's on aux always does a great job lol love this place!!

We stumbled upon here while looking for a place to eat. Of course I had to check yelp reviews before and there wasn't too many reviews but everyone gave good stars. The space is pretty big considering in Century Mall and had many tables. The space was clean and bright. I was surprised it was also had some Cambodian dishes! I had to try their Chefs special , the New Hu Tieu NK (Dai), Hand pull Chewy Noodle. The server mentioned it is a lot thicker than your traditional noodles like chow fun. The taste was interesting it was indeed super thickkkk and chewy! I think because I wasn't use to it, I was thrown back by it. The flavor was interesting too, it was spicy a little above my spice tolerance but bearable and a little bit sour. Not sure what that flavor was. But it was stir fried with tofu, bok choy, 2 different meats all for $16.50. I give it a (4/5). My husband ordered the Hu Tieu Nam Vang Dac Biet (Original) for $15.60. The portion size was good and he really enjoyed his bowl and literally drank the whole soup bowl. We also got a side of Chinese donuts $3.50. They came out hot so we knew they were freshly made. We dunked that into his soup and enjoyed every last bit! Overall I would come back to try their other dishes as they have other soups, and rice dishes as well.

#2 Spicy
Oliver L.

This is probably my new spot for Nam Vang! Clean, doesn't get overly busy, and the food is delicious and they tend to you right away! I opted for #2 to see how spicy it really was. It wasn't bad as far as spice goes. I always ruin things by putting too much chili paste or anything spicy in it without trying it first. Bad habit of mine ‍ I will say it was very delicious, I've had the regular Nam vang before and that was good! I'm not too fond of the meatball regardless where I go but that doesn't mean it wasn't good, I'm just particular in a sense. Chinese donut was good, crispy and warm, broth was light but full of flavor! The rib bone I ate clean as always. Definitely fulfilled the craving. I will be back! I definitely recommend them

Yummy!

Food: 5/5 I got the hand pulled noodles and they were perfectly chewy! Loved the flavor of this. Portion was decent, I recommend getting appetizers if you're feeling extra hungry because my family finished their plates and didn't have any left overs. I do have to shout out there pickled chili peppers, it's so good I can eat an entire jar! Service: Friendly staff Ambiance: We came on a Sunday evening and it wasn't too busy or loud . I love that they play early 2000 R&B music, they were playing all the hits! Restaurant is tidy. I would for sure come back when I'm in the area.

My thoughts: This is a traditional classic Vietnamese restaurant that is been around the San Jose area through out the up and down of the economy. And any restaurant can survive the harsh business world is A OK in my book. Plus they do serve good Chinese food and maintain a reasonable price. Here is my scoring card for this restaurant: 1) Location: ( 5 Point ) - Great location for customer to see and find. Great parking for street parking and back side with parking lot parking. 2) Decoration : (2 Point) - They still have the original decoration. Clean but not up to date. 3) Price: ( 4 point)- The price is competitive but still a little bit pricey compare to other same stars and type food they serve 4) Quality and Taste : ( 3 point)- The quality is ok, food taste is good and portions are below average . 5) Type of cuisine standard : ( 4 point) - The style of Vietnamese food they serve is pretty close to the way it was prepare in Vietman.Not bad! But some dishes did have slightly modify to cater the customer's need Overall it's not bad and I thinks it's great to give it a try and let me know what you think. Go foodies Total max is 25 Score 18 Stars = 72% round up to 3 stars

Door dashed their original hi tieu nam vang to go - dry version. Came with the broth and noodles. Very comprehensive dish with all the typical meats - shrimp, calamari, liver, pork slices, heart as well as the sprouts and Chinese celery. It all had great flavors and plenty of meat and got the spot. Bad thing was they didn't give us any utensils in the bag!!! Boo. one star off. Luckily we had left over chop sticks at work or we would be eating with our fingers.

Not sure why it runs empty sometimes, but the rumors are true: It is BASICALLY the same as the old Nam Vang on Tully/Alvin. Clean shop, service fast and efficient. Whatever you remembered from the old Nam Vang is what you'll get here, but bigger portions. Accepts credit card! Come here for your Hu Tieu fix!!

Parking is tricky so you have to be fast if you see one. Shared parking plaza! Fast with kind services! Dry noodle and pho is good. I come here because my husband loves the Khmer noodle. Nice and clean restaurant

Our party of 5 visited on a Saturday around 11:30AM. The restaurant was pretty empty with maybe 3-4 other tables occupied. Service was minimal. I got the Hu Tieu Nam Vang Dac Biet original and thought it was pretty good! Standard toppings, flavorful sauce that coats all the noodles, and not too oily. The dried shrimp bits were good. Soup was ok. The other people in my party got pho, hu tieu sate bo, and banh lot nam vang. They were all okay-below average. 3.5 stars if considering other dishes. 4 stars stars if just considering hu tieu nam vang :)

Been wanting to try this spot for the longest but feel like I would be let down because Nam Vang on Alvin is elite and always a sj staple. Eventually gave it a shot because my brother went give his opinion. Came on a Monday around 5pm. No one in sight... we were the only ones there, which wasn't a good sign, service was great though. Overall clean and your standard Vietnamese restaurant. To the food! Man the #1 was honestly as good or little better than nam vang. I did it with broth today since my body needed some thing soupy from the weekend. Meat was very tender, soupy was cleansing my soul, and a lot of flavor from the dried shrimp and ground pork. Chinese donut was fresh it felt like. Only thing the meatball was not sticking together as much as I like (I like Nam vang meatballs better) Glad I have this place a shot. Probably will go here again soon to try the non broth one. Also heard it could be same family as owner of Nam Van, which would make sense.

Udon Mugizo was such a good find and honestly better than I expected. The menu has just enough…read moreoptions where you feel like you have choices, but it is not overwhelming at all. It is straightforward with a good mix of udon, rice dishes, small bites, and drinks, which I really appreciated. The food felt delicate but still had layers of flavor. Nothing was heavy or overdone. The rice was one of my favorite parts. It was crispy on the outside and cooked perfectly inside, which made it so satisfying. The chicken karaage was also really good. Crispy, tender, flavorful, and exactly what you want when you order karaage. The only thing I would probably skip next time is the mixed sake drinks. They are fruity and fun, but they tasted like they were made with sugary syrup. So if you do not want a sugar bomb or you are watching sugar calories, I would stay away from those. The inside has a cozy feel that reminded me a little of something you would find in Japan, but with a bit of an American touch. It felt clean, casual, and comfortable. The staff was friendly and attentive without making anything feel rushed. Also we had our son so they brought share plate without us even asking for him. I loved that they considered that. For the amount of food, the quality, and the overall experience, the prices felt well worth it. We will definitely be going back. It is one of those places that feels easy to recommend because the food is good, the menu makes sense, the service is warm, and the whole experience just works. We arrived around 5:50 PM and it wasn't busy but maybe 30 min in it was crowded and by the time we left there was a wait so plan to get there earlier. This was on a Wednesday as well.

The Nam Vang came with sliced pork, ground pork, and one prawn in a clean, savory broth--light but flavorful. The filet mignon pho was a solid upgrade: tender beef, silky noodles, and a broth that leaned richer but still easy to sip. Noodles had a nice bounce in both bowls. I was craving a vermicelli bowl or bánh mì too, but heads up--they only serve pho and noodle soups here. No rice plates or sandwiches. Still, if you're in the mood for Vietnamese comfort food, this spot delivers fast and clean.

Thank you to my bro and his fam for treating us out to some Mother's Day noods!!!…read more My bro and his family are massive fans of Kali Noodles + Tea Bar. Even with them moving out to the East Bay, they make periodic drives just to enjoy what KN has to offer. I've had one dining experience here previously and was not impressed. This lead to not returning. Fast forward 2.5 years or so, here I was again. Our large party of 9 arrived at opening hours and the owners were so very welcoming. The restaurant was clean and the condiments were in tip top shape. Our family's order was massive. We started the meal with xiu mai [Vietnamese pork meat balls] and Chinese donut sticks. This then continued with mi do bien, filet mignon and beef ball pho, & a variety of nam vang noodle versions. The great thing about Kali Noodles are the multiple options of noodles they provide. There are a number of combinations that could be made with the 6 offerings. The food was surprisingly really good- so much better than what my first visit was. The bowls were presented neatly but plated in a way where the large chunks of lettuce made the bowls seem a lot more fuller that it really was. The noodle soups also consisted a lot more broth than noodles. Having said that, the egg noodles are really really good!! The restaurant cooks them perfectly- chewy with a slight bite that keeps you wanting more and more. Hu tieu dai was unfortunately too mushy in texture for my liking. 4 stars overall. Customer service from the owners were exceptional. They were attentive to each person's order and were so welcoming. The food was good but maximize the deliciousness by strictly going for the thin egg noodles. You will not be disappointed and this recommendation is coming from a person who typically steers clear of this. I'd happily return.
