I liked the way they decorated some small VN traditional arts on the wall. Very cute! 2. Service: attentive and served quickly. 3. Food 3/5: I ordered Bun thit nuong tom nuong which had grilled pork, grilled shrimp, with thin vermicelli and vegetables. For personally, the fish sauce came with it was kinda sweet and the grilled pork was sweet as well. I liked how the smoky aroma from grilled shrimp, that was interesting. One minus was there was no peanut which was an important element to get the authentic taste of bun thit nuong. Overall, It was okay, not impressive by their food maybe next time I'd try some soup.

My absolute favorite dish is the grilled shrimp and BBQ pork with rice sheet wraps, it's outstanding. Their appetizers are good, and the egg rolls are especially delicious. The beef soup is also solid and comforting. You can tell this place has a loyal following many of the customers seem to be regulars, which really adds to the cozy, family style atmosphere. I highly recommend it!

The fresh rolls and egg rolls were the highlights. The fresh rolls were do it yourself style with rice paper, thin noodles, nuoc mam sauce, fresh mint, cilantro, and vegetables. The texture was great, chewy with a fresh crunch from the herbs and veggies. The egg rolls were just as good and came with vegetables for wrapping, making each bite feel balanced. These dishes alone are worth coming back for. We also ordered the bo luc lac, which had very tender filet mignon with bell peppers and onions, savory with a slight sweetness. We added sides of rice, which paired well. The clay pot catfish was sweet, savory, and flaky, a solid choice if you like fish. For drinks, my daughter had fresh squeezed orange juice, and I had the iced Vietnamese coffee. The coffee was smooth, perfectly sweetened with condensed milk, and not burnt. I would definitely order it again. The holiday decorations were a nice touch, with Mr. and Mrs. Santa, a festive window display, and a photo booth in the waiting area. Shout out to John Huynh of One Snap Photo Booths for the fun setup. We were seated quickly, given an extra chair without any fuss, and they even took our to go order early. The only issue was being charged for a few items we did not order, but overall we really enjoyed our visit and would gladly return for the fresh rolls and coffee.

The pho comes with either fresh noodles or thin noodles. The bowls are really good size! Probably come for dinner next time because our lunch bellies couldn't handle it all! I asked the server if he'd recommend the banh bao xa xiu and he told us the chicken baos are more popular. Pho Dac Biet (17.89): lots of meat! Like more meat than I feel like typical pho restaurants give Pho Ga Di Bo (17.99): pretty good chicken pho, dark meat bone in Banh Bao Ga (8.49): probably not made in-house but I could be wrong. Wouldn't recommend I'd probably come back to get that pho fix if I'm in the area!

Variety is great, but then I'm assuming items like the boba are probably powder/syrup based, and that many food items may be frozen/not fresh. House Combination Pho - 2.5/5 Came out with very nice presentation but realistically that's all that was special about it. Nothing really stood out besides being very salty which I guess can be some peoples preferences, but maybe you should stock up on water before ordering this. Chicken Bun - 1/5 Buns everywhere are hit or miss so I don't know why I bother ordering this anywhere. This was 90% dough with 10% meat as is usually the case of places that don't handmake it in house. On top of that, the "meat" portion was largely mushroom, so..... no thanks. Not even sure if I even got to taste the meat to be honest. They do come with three buns per serving, but again, what's the point with that ratio. Shanghai Pork Dumplings - 2/5 Nothing special and tastes like a frozen/costco item that's been reheated in a steamer. At the very least the quantity,6, that it came with somewhat made this ok. While this is the Bay... Prices are a bit higher than what I'm used to and unfortunately no one really wants to pay above average with what is most likely non-fresh items. Service is really slow and pretty bad, even taking into account Viet standards. Order - Receive Food - Pay and get out. Not really a fan, I'd recommend sticking to items you normally find in a pho place if you're okay with average unless you want verrrry subpar options.

We ordered a large bun Bo hue, a large pho luc lac, fried rice with ribeye cooked medium level (as recommended), Bo luc lac with tomato flavored rice, and a chicken pho ap chao to share amongst 3 adults and 4 kids.

I was pleasantly surprised with the pho ap chao, it was really tasty and crispy and a dish I have not tried before. We really enjoyed everything but the Bo luc lac (shaken beef) was super tender and the beef was flavorful! This is a must try in my opinion! This restaurant is clean and tidy and has cute decors of bamboo hats hung from the ceiling and remind me of being back in Vietnam again. Staffs were attentive as customers entered. Plenty of parking spaces in the plaza. I will definitely come back here for everything I tried during my visit and to try more when in the area or on the way back from Santa Cruz. This will also be a great place to grab Togo for picnics or for hiking as well! My kids are already asking to come back to the restaurant after our first time there. So glad to know of another Vietnamese restaurant that has so many yummy dishes in SJ!

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! Next time, I definitely want to dine in and try their other menu items as well :)

After leaving her, the cousins who were in town all met for dinner at Com Tam Thanh. There were 8 of us. One of the locals knew about this place and it was her recommendation that lead us there. What a feast! The portions are very generous, and the menu is extensive. One could call this Vietnamese-Thai fusion, as they had a number of Thai dishes on the menu. We didn't try the "Broken Rice", but the description sounded interesting and they had a large section of the menu with different options in that area. Dear Hubby tried a pho soup. I went for wide rice noodles with shrimp and veggies. Ah-ma-zing! I can still taste the savory sauce and the tender noodles with the plump shrimp. Am wondering if there's somewhere local that I can get something similar as a craving has been notched. We also had two orders of spring rolls for the table and they were so fresh and delicious. A real treat! I wasn't sure I would like the peanut dipping sauce, but I did like it a lot. It didn't taste like peanut butter; it had its own unique flavor. The ambiance didn't make a big impression with me because I was tired and hungry. Everyone needed to decompress after being at the medical facility. It was very nice to be with the family members again in a warm, safe place with delicious food. We took a lot away; the portions were generous. As we were on the road, we ended up giving the leftovers to our grandson to take home when we saw him the next day. Thankfully we had a refrigerator in the hotel room so it worked out well. DH and I could have shared one entree with the spring rolls on the side - it would have been plenty of food.

They offer three different platter options (A-C), but Platter B comes with mini egg rolls, pork and chicken skewer, pork sausage, sugarcane shrimp, lettuce, sliced cucumbers, bean sprouts, and pickled carrots and daikon. It's a good variety of flavors and textures for your rolls! Ingredients tasted fresh, and it felt like an overall healthy option. We also had the Rare Steak Pho, which was not bad. Hits the spot on a cold day! They have everything else you might need already on the table--utensils, chopsticks, soup spoons, napkins, water cups, wet wipes, hoisin, sriracha, fish sauce and sauce dishes.

I really tasted the coffee element rather than having it as a sweet treat, so I'd say stick to regular sugar if you want something sweet. The pandan flavor wasn't very heavy (possibly due to the less sugar) but was still enjoyable, and the coffee wasn't overwhelming. I'd say the coffee isn't as strong as some other places, which could be good or bad depending on what you're looking for. It gave me the energy that I needed for the day without having me jittery or bouncing off the walls Overall, I'd give it a 7.5/10. Very good coffee and flavors and I would definitely come back to try more drinks. I definitely recommend this place
