    Yum!! The bbq pork bahn mi is something I will definitely be coming back for. It was a bit on the spicier side with the jalapeño, so if you can't do spice order it without. Great flavor, huge sandwich, lots of meat and veggies...this was the perfect comfort meal. Their egg rolls were also pretty good, but the bahn mi was outstanding.

    The last Banh Mi's I enjoyed were back when I lived in Sacramento. So finding this gem in San Pedro Square has been an amazing find for me. I had the BBQ Pork Banh Mi and Spring Rolls. Both were so neatly presented (very important to me), the flavors were on-point and delicious. The service was about 10 minutes and I grabbed a drink and a table in the meantime. San Pedro Square is always a hit with our friends group- there's something for everyone. But I think I have found my routine spot in the meantime with On a Roll!

    On a roll, for when you want fast food on the go. Came to San Pedro Square market and decided to try their coconut shrimp, however, they were all sold out. So then our second choice was the potstickers. They were just OK and they came with the sweet spicy sauce too.

    I ordered the salmon salad. The chef was genuine, you could just feel it. Dedication to his business. For $18, the portion is huge. Better yet, it's fresh. I was initially surprised he asked me to come back in 10 minutes. There's no way you can cook salmon that quickly unless its precooked. I returned to find him at the stove, so I waved at him and told him I'd return. When I did, I found a plastic bag with two containers, one for the hot salmon, another full of a fresh variety of greens, long shredded carrots, tomatoes, and extra sauce. The fish is a thick fillet where one end had to be tucked into the container. The sauce is a delicious sweet and sour onion combination. Combined with the salad, however, HEAVENLY. I broke a small portion of the fish into the salad and it looked like I barely touched the fish. Highly recommended if you plan on visiting San Pedro Square.

    I wanted to go somewhere to have an early dinner with my aunt and I wasn't too sure where to go. Since there's so many different places to eat at in San Pedro marketplace, I figured we could go there and pick some thing. We ended up going to this cute Vietnamese spot right at the Side entrance. It was perfect because my aunt ordered the eggrolls, and I got some spring rolls and with my stupid food allergies, there's no MSG in their spring rolls! Yes, I'm allergic to monosodium glutamate and I'm Hapa! Ughhhh fun stuff! Anyways, the gentleman at the front counter was very busy, but took our order, and we also got a strawberry tea, and I got a lychee tea. I loved all the different Boba and lychee jelly inside my tea, and the spring rolls tasted very fresh! The only funny thing was is, the gentleman didn't give us any utensils. I had to go back after we sat down and pick up utensils . lol Everything else was fine within the service and we were able to sit down at this cute Italian spot and watch the two people there clean out their giant pasta machine. Apparently it was making the pasta stick instead of separate. I've never seen a giant pasta machine like that, so it was very interesting for my aunt and me to watch them assemble and disassemble the machine. Since I have a gluten allergy, I can't really eat there but my aunt said she definitely wants to try it! Lol we will definitely be back to this Vietnamese spot, On A Roll for a light dinner or snack/appetizer.

    This was my first time in San Pedro Market and the first store I saw when I walked in was On A Roll. But, I did walk through all the eateries to see the endless option. I still came back to On A Roll since I was craving a banh mi. I really appreciated the Asian fusion cuisine and some of my favorite Vietnamese dishes. My friend and I split a grilled pork banh mi and spring rolls. The banh mi was filled with lots of delicious pork and pickled veggies. It definitely hit the spot and fulfilled by banh mi craving. The spring rolls came with fried wonton chips and yummy peanut sauce. The peanut sauce was my favorite and a really good addition to the spring rolls. The service was pretty quick and around a lot of the other eateries. Will definitely be back whenever I'm craving some good Vietnamese food.

    My pre-game spot to eat. Good price, decent sized, tasty sandwich, quick service. Located in the San Pedro Square Market, towards the exit near restrooms, counter space to sit and eat. Everything I saw others get looked nice too. I'll try their Chicken Pad Thai next time.

    I came here with some coworkers for a quick lunch and got the spring rolls. They were tasty and great for a light and quick lunch. We ordered ahead through Yelp/other online service and the owners kindly let us know to call in next time since the online ordering takings a percentage of fees from them. Coworkers got the vermicelli bowl and salmon bowl and they looked so good, will definitely be trying those next time. Bottom line: quick service for lunch and the owners were kind. All the food looked amazing, I am definitely coming back to try new things next time.

    Chicken pad Thai was really good. Huge portions! Had a little kick but wasn't too spicy

    First time trying this place and the spring rolls did not disappoint. Taste red fresh and delicious. The sauce was also good. Very reasonably priced for the portion as well so win win. I'll be back to try more things

    OMG! San Jose has this San Pedro Square downtown 5 minutes from the Airport and transit buses and light rail access. It was like a FOOD HEAVEN so many different types of food. Mexican, Asian, Ice Cream, Pizza and Burgers and Sandwiches and Hot Dogs and Peruvian and Indian food and Coffee bars and Alcohol Beer & Wine bars. The people there were from all nationalities. Like one big combination pizza. The outdoor seats and indoor were perfect for the visit. You got to try and check out San Pedro Square it has to be one of San Jose's BEST FUN places to visit. I stopped for a sandwich at this place called On a Roll. So many different types of sandwiches. I ordered the Tri Tip and it was splendid. With some Coconut Milk Tea and Boba beans on the bottom. Took me to NOM NOM city. The male cook and cashier was very nice and friendly and spoke good English. He looked like the owner/manager. I will be back to try the rest of the menu.

    Chow mein is not what I'm used to. Looks like spaghetti used for their egg noodles and texture to it does not appeal to me.

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.
