SJ Eggrolls is a takeout spot popular for their Vietnamese egg rolls and banh khot. The shop is…read morefairly small and usually has a Vietnamese pop artist performing on the TV whenever I go. This establishment is more of a takeout place with its items made to order. The wait can be a bit long so it is best to order ahead online; the quoted pick up time was 25 minutes from the time the order was placed. For this visit I got their (net) eggroll plate and banh khot plate. The netted eggrolls had a good crispy wrapper texture and definitely tasted freshly made; the net outside made it more unique compared to typical Vietnamese and other Asian eggrolls which use a regular solid wrapper. The sweet fish sauce and veggies (pickled carrot and daikon, lettuce, cilantro, and mint) went really well with these eggrolls. The banh khot tasted good with a nice and soft yet slightly crunchy texture and each piece had a good sized shrimp on top. The banh khot also went well with the fish sauce and veggies provided. I highly recommend SJ Eggrolls for Vietnamese eggrolls and banh khot cravings. I know there are many other establishments selling these in San Jose but this place does a good job in terms of execution and price. This business also offers party trays and I would definitely consider catering from SJ Eggrolls if I needed a party tray in the area.

This place is moreso a to go spot, probably to cater for parties and large families to eat at home. Not really a spot to eat at but I did eat my banh khot here, was messy though and again, it's really moreso a togo place so no plates or anything, just ate out of tje togo box. I might not be back because of the price but flavor is there! I'd rather get a fill banh xeo from a sit down restaurant

Food came out super fast in 5-10mins. Items Order: 10/10 Mi Nam Vang $18.75 - comes with a side bowl of soup and large pork rib! Soup was amazing broth perfectly flavored. Usually the noodles are hu tieu (pho noodles) but I opted for egg noodles (mi). Variety of meats and seafood included. Mix with chili oil and soy sauce (it is a bit underseasoned) or ask for more of the sauce they use. Otherwise this was quite bomb when all mixed up. Very filling! 8/10 Bun Cha Ha Noi $28 - portion is perfect for 2 people! They give rice paper for wrapping and meats were perfectly cooked juicy and well marinated. Their fish sauce was also quite good but overall this a wrapping platter version of bun bowls. Taste wise still on the better end of ones I've had!

The banh beo stuck to the plate. The pork patty in the bun cha Hanoi was bland. We got a mountain of herbs but also got cucumber that went bad (it was yellow). We do have our favorite SJ restaurants to order each of these items from but it was just convenient to find them all here.

My mom and I were looking for a spot to have lunch and stumbled upon this restaurant after circling…read morethe plaza multiple times. I love banh Cuon so of course had to order their most popular item, which was the Special Rice Roll. The rice sheet is wrapped around the meat and wood ear mushrooms paired with nuoc cham dipping sauce. Also comes with different types of ham! It's a light and savory dish. I also ordered the Banh Canh Suon (Vietnamese Udon Noodle with Spare Rib), which I regretted. The pig's blood did not taste fresh, and I didn't enjoy the taste of the soup. The best thing was the chewiness of the udon. I didn't care for anything else besides that. I feel like restaurants nowadays only have one item to look forward to and in this case it was their banh cuon. It's nice that they have seats both inside and outside. It was pretty busy on a Friday at 1pm but luckily we only had to wait a few minutes.

Thien Long is located in a smaller plaza packed with many Asian restaurants and drink spots. The…read morerestaurant is quite large inside with plenty of available tables. I came for lunch on a Friday and the restaurant was approximately half full. My party was seated right away. I noticed most tables had their specialty dish, 36B on the menu, which is grilled fish with thin noodles and vegetables; this was a dish my party wanted to try. I also ordered their Vietnamese shaking beef with red rice (menu item 47). The food came quickly, in about ten minutes or so. The shaking beef came first and had a nice flavor and texture as expected for shaking beef. The dish had a bit more onions and peppers than I would've liked but still had a good amount of beef. This also came with a side soup which was nice to not overwhelm the palate with shaking beef flavor. The grilled fish was tasty with a nice crisp. The fish also tasted very good with the included noodles and greens. I could see why this is Thien Long's most popular dish because it is very good. Overall, the Thien Long menu is pretty extensive and has a lot of offerings in case you don't know what you want to eat. That being said, this restaurant does not really specialize in any particular type of Vietnamese dish so you may be better off going to Vietnam Town if you know you want a specific dish.

Thien Long has been one of those nostalgic restaurants for my wife and me. We've been coming here…read morefor years, and whenever we're craving Vietnamese food other than pho, this is one of our go-to places. It's local, the food has always been good to excellent, and there are some fond memories that keep bringing us back. We came here again on a Sunday evening around 8:15pm, just before closing. Here's my updated review. Food (4 stars) * Shaking Beef (4.5 stars) - This is our kids' usual order, and they love it! The beef was cooked perfectly medium rare with a nice char on the outside while remaining tender and juicy inside. The marinade has a subtle sweetness that really complements the beef. It comes with mushrooms, bell peppers, and onions. You can choose white rice or tomato rice, but my kids prefer white rice. The portion is generous enough for both kids to share, and there's even enough rice left for me! * Half & Half Turmeric Fish and Grilled Pork (4 stars) - This is one of our longtime favorites. You get the best of both worlds with their signature turmeric fish and flavorful grilled pork. The fish is consistently good, served over a bed of onions and fresh green herbs. The pork is thinly sliced and can be a little dry from cooking, but it's well seasoned and flavorful. Once you wrap everything together with the vermicelli, herbs, and vegetables in rice paper, the dryness becomes almost unnoticeable. They give you plenty of rice paper and vermicelli noodles, so you won't leave hungry. I just wish they were a little more generous with the fresh vegetables on the side. That's more of a personal preference than a complaint. * Fried Flour Cake with Egg (3.5 stars) - We ordered this as our appetizer. It's good, but not the best version I've had. The flour cake is surrounded by quite a bit of egg, making it feel more like a flour cake omelet than the traditional dish I'm used to. The accompanying dipping sauce has a nice sweet and tangy flavor that brings everything together. It's enjoyable, just not particularly memorable compared to some of the better versions I've tried elsewhere. Service/Ambiance (4 stars) * We arrived fairly close to closing time. There were only a handful of customers left, and eventually we were the last table. The staff started cleaning up around us, but we never felt rushed. I really appreciate restaurants that allow their customers to finish their meals comfortably, even when it's almost time to close. * One thing I'll never forget about this restaurant happened during the pandemic. My wife came here to pick up food, but at the time they were a cash-only business, and she didn't have any cash. Instead of turning her away, they simply told her to take the food and pay them the next time she came back! My wife went straight to the bank and returned with the money. What an incredible gesture of kindness and trust! It's those little things that make you remember an establishment for years. They now accept credit cards, by the way. ~ The ambiance is pretty typical of a casual Vietnamese restaurant. Nothing fancy, but comfortable enough for a family meal. You'll often see plenty of Vietnamese customers dining here, which adds to the authentic neighborhood restaurant feel.

Those two things let me know that this food was about to be good, and I was right. Both the Bun Bo Hue and pho were super tasty. The broth was really rich and flavorful and the meat was also tasty. Unfortunately, they didn't seem to have any spring rolls or egg rolls on the menu. Their hoisin sauce and sriracha also seems to be house-made as it tasted better than the usual store-bought kind. The sauce was a little sweeter than the usual kind. If you are using Apple Pay, be aware that they only take debit. Also, the parking in this plaza is awful.

The Bun Bo Hue was solid -- a good combination of saltiness, sourness, and spiciness all wrapped up in one. We also ordered the pho -- not quite as good, but respectable.

You don't need to get a large unless you're extremely hungry. The ambiance is nice -- homey, very comfortable and familiar.

I got V8 banh cuon tay ho chay which came with flour sheet, stuffed flour sheet, yam tempura, mung bean tempura, fried tofu, veggies, and then they even brought out a vegetarian dipping sauce for me. Everything was absolutely delicious, I especially enjoyed the flour sheet when dipped in the sauce, and the yam tempura. The mung bean tempura was also really interesting, it sort of looked and tasted like a muffin. I also got a pennywort juice since my Vietnamese friend said she drank it growing up in Vietnam and had never seen it on a menu in the US before. It was very interesting, not really sweet at all, I mostly liked it but it had a slightly weird aftertaste. The service was good enough, the waiters weren't super attentive or particularly friendly but our food came out quickly and we had no issues. The interior is spacious and clean. When I asked for a takeout container it even came with a little cup for dipping sauce which was really nice. Highly highly recommend!

The standout dish was the egg rolls. They arrived hot, golden brown, and perfectly crisp, with a satisfying crunch and a flavorful filling that made them the best part of the meal. The food, however, wasn't the reason for my rating. The restaurant's cleanliness left me concerned. I noticed cobwebs that appeared to have been hanging in place for a long time, along with dirt and grime collecting in corners throughout the dining room. Even the menus felt sticky, with a visible film of grease and small food particles still clinging to them. The faded print and worn condition made them look as though they hadn't been replaced in years. Those details created an impression of neglect that made it difficult to relax and enjoy the meal. With a thorough deep cleaning and some updated menus, this restaurant could create a much more welcoming dining experience. Until then, the cleanliness issues overshadow what was otherwise an average meal.
