Food was good! I tried their chef special pho--I forgot the name but it had a Smokey/charred flavor to the beef for my pho. I wanted to try something different for a change but I think I'll stick with what I know ahaha. There wasn't a wow factor for me to be amazed. The broth was good and comforting. I also tried the spring rolls with the shrimp and pork--great appetizer! Good crunch and well balanced proportion and taste of the ingredients Their peanut sauce was good! Came in on a Thursday evening, around 9 pm. The restaurant was pretty full for that time. So glad there's a late night pho place open! We got seated pretty quickly for 2 people. The restaurant is pretty spacious and had high ceilings. I think there's an upper floor but not sure what is up there. Their decor was very unique from the Vietnamese restaurants I'm used to. Felt Victorian almost Parking was easy! Overall, good spot for your pho fix. read more

Stopped by w/ my siblings and in‑laws for some pho before Sa Bai's Ikigai Show and left disappointed. I ordered the short rib pho, and the broth was incredibly bland. Even after adding a small cup of fish sauce, siracha, and Hoisin sauce, it still didn't have much flavor. The short rib itself was mostly fat and connective tissue w/ very little actual meat. For $20, it wasn't worth it. Should have, could have, would have gone to Pho Ha Noi. read more

Pho 90 Degree - Short rib pho - Vietnamese Near Me - San Jose, California

I've driven by this place so many times and finally decided to stop in--I'm glad I did! We ordered the large pho with flank, lean brisket, fatty brisket, and added beef balls, plus the fried egg rolls and shaken beef with tomato rice. Everything was absolutely delicious. The star of the meal was the pho. The broth was soooo flavorful--rich, savory, and clearly simmered with care. They definitely don't skimp on the meat either. The bowl was loaded with tender cuts of beef, making every bite satisfying. The fried egg rolls were crispy and flavorful, and the shaken beef with tomato rice was another standout. The beef was tender and well-seasoned, paired perfectly with the tomato rice. The restaurant has a large, spacious dining area, which is great for groups, and they're open late--a huge plus when you're craving pho in the evening. If you're looking for a hearty bowl of pho with generous portions, flavorful broth, and solid Vietnamese comfort food, this spot is definitely worth checking out. I'll definitely be back! read more

Honestly confused as to why the reviews are so low, because my friends and I really enjoyed it! I forgot my exact order but I got the combination pho and replaced the tripe with meatballs. The broth tasted like a mix between northern and southern style pho, but more northern and less sweet than most pho spots. The meat quality here is great! Nothing was overcooked and everything was tender. Also, this was my first time being served raw garlic with my pho and I really liked it together! My only complaint is that the noodles were slightly overcooked and the place is pricy at about $20 a bowl. Also, the spring rolls we got were super bomb and fresh! The service is the bare minimum of taking your order and then serving you your food. The place itself was clean and super spacious, but they seemed to not have AC because it was so warm! Completely sweaty by the end of the meal. read more

We used to frequent this but unfortunately it seems like the quality has gone down. Pho broth was not flavorful and for the banh hoi, the grilled pork was majority fatty pieces. My dad comes specifically for the pho ap chao and it came out pretty soggy/not really fried. Both of the bathrooms were pretty badly unkempt as well.. I'm used to bad conditions LOL but you could smell them before even opening the door. Not the most ideal when the kitchen is pretty close by. read more

We love coming here for their rice plates whenever we're in the area! The last couple of times we've visited, the quality has been consistent. We usually order to-go and the food still tastes amazing! We dined in recently for Tét and service was quick. My go-to order is the #52 Korean BBQ Short Rib plate! The ribs are tender and juicy whenever I order it. I tried the #54 Fried Chicken rice plate yesterday and the chicken was super crispy and it comes with soy sauce, which made it even more tastier! I enjoy the fresh and pickled veggies that come with the plates and the delicious soup on the side. My bf always gets the #55 Grilled Chicken rice plate. He enjoys the sweet marinade for the chicken, which makes it flavorful and moist. I don't remember how the shaking beef tasted, but I had tried it off of my sister and I think it was decent! We tried their pho once and it was a little bit too salty for us. read more

I have to start with the highlight--#44 was absolutely off the hook. It was spicy, warm, and incredibly comforting. Adding fresh mint to the broth really took it to another level for me--such a simple touch, but it made a big difference. I also tried the #48 vermicelli entrée, which was packed with flavor, though definitely on the sweeter side. If you enjoy a sweeter sauce, you'll love it. The beef patties were delicious and well-seasoned--I just wish there had been a few more of them to balance out the rest of the dish. Service was a bit of a mixed experience. Our server was quick to take our order, but after that, we weren't really checked on. We also had to ask multiple times for to-go containers and even a bag, which felt a little inconvenient. On top of that, having to pay for the containers was an unexpected downside. The space itself is large and visually appealing, though the decor gave off more of an Italian vibe than Vietnamese, which felt a little mismatched. When we first arrived, there was quite a bit of smoke in the air, which was odd given how big the space is and that the doors were open with AC running--but thankfully it cleared up after about 15 minutes. Overall, the food really shines here and is worth coming back for. With a bit more attention to service and small details, this place could easily be a 5-star experience. Definitely try the soup and don't skip adding mint--it really elevates the flavor. If you're ordering vermicelli, expect a sweeter profile. Also, ask for to-go containers early to avoid the back-and-forth. read more

This place is pretty good for a mall spot! I was very pleasantly surprised. It's a really spacious restaurant, and I liked the artwork inside. We were sat at a booth, and the food came out so fast!

Service was good, too. read more

Pho 90 Degree - #24 regular (pho chin) - Vietnamese Near Me - San Jose, California

Saw a lot of options for pho where I didn't know which one to choose. I then saw this pho labeled "chef's favorite" which I opted in for. Unique way to eat this pho, where I was given a plate of fried beef separately, and it was pretty good from the caramelized bits from the wok. Overall, the pho was good, feels fresh, clear broth, and nice amount of toppings. The garlic butter fried chicken wings weren't bad but could use more seasoning/salt. Do want to note that my girlfriend requested her bowl of pho to be cilantro free, which came back with no other vegetable toppings at all. read more

Pho 90 Degree - 15. Pho Tai Dap Chay (Large) - Vietnamese Near Me - San Jose, California

*Hu Thieu Nam Vang - Dry (soup on the side)* is one we haven't ordered before but it was really tasty. The soup on the side was light but flavorful. The stir fry "dry" noodles has a light sauce on it while it's cooked so the noodles are well seasoned on their own. It would have been great to have some pickled peppers on the side so I would ask if they have that next time. *Bun Cha Ha Noi* is my go to dish when I'm not eating noodle soup. The dish has a light fish sauce enveloping the meats. You place your noodles, herbs and the meat + sauce into a bowl. I devoured my plate despite generally eating pretty small portions. This dish can be very filling but it was so delicious I had to finish it! My friend got the crispy egg noodle dish. It reminded me of what my mom would make me as a kid so to me it was a very comforting dish. The noodles came out very crispy and the sauce on the noodles coated the dish well. read more

Pho 90 Degree - Vietnamese Near Me - San Jose, California

I hadn't been to Pho 90 in a decade, and with other pho places in the area, it was never outstanding enough for me to want to return. However, a Vietnamese acquaintance said that this place is on his list of options for pho so when the opportunity came up, I decided to try it again. Phở Đặc Biệt (4/5) - The broth was nice and flavorful. It had a good proportion of broth, noodles, and meat along with fresh herbs. I think it was a solid bowl of pho. It's not the best pho I've had, but it's certainly better than any pho I've had outside east San Jose. Cơm Bò Lúc Lắc (1/5) - This is where my review drops. I really disliked this dish, and it was the worst shaking beef I've ever had. The rice was dry and crumbly and flavor-wise, it was too strong on the tomato. The veggies were very sad looking as well. The meat was tender, but the flavor they used in the sauce was not good. I thought it was somewhat sour and had some kind of weird aftertaste, so the overall dish was very off-putting. I recall that the other end of the restaurant was named Com 90, but it seems that that segment closed, and it's all under Pho 90 now. Maybe the rice dishes were better back then, but I really wouldn't recommend it now. Go for pho. I like that this place is open until midnight though so it's a good place for some late night pho. As far as post-drinking late night pho, this is the best one I've had in the area. Unfortunately, my opinion on the place still remains that it's not outstanding enough for me to want to come back. read more

Revisited and did not disappoint at 10 o'clock for late dinner. Like that they are open late. Had the Hu Tieu Nam Vang. One of the best Hu Tieu. The ingredients were good quality, including the liver not having the gamey taste. The beef broth that came with was not too salt so it went well with the sweet soy gravy of the hu tieu. The short ribs were tender. Sweet salty flavor throughout with a little bit of onion flavor. The fried egg rolls were also good. One order came with 4 good size pieces. Crispy wrapper. Perfectly fried to golden brown. Good filling to wrper ratio. Filling was good, too. read more

This place is huge for a pho restaurant. I was told they expanded somewhat recently. It's a warm day so we did not order hot noodle soup or pho. I love my dried rice noodle and egg noodle combo. Definitely a large portion for a small bowl order. It came with a side of soup with a marrow. Loved that even more. The marrow had additional meat on it that I enjoyed with my noodle. My friend could not finish her platter. It's one order and prob 2 ppl can enjoy it. It's their Banh Hoi platter. She had to take half of it home. Clean restaurant and menu had a good variety for you to enjoy. read more

If you're looking for a quick and simple Vietnamese bite, this spot is for you! But beware, it definitely feels like they want everything to be quick! We walked in when it wasn't too busy but immediately was seated and asked what we wanted to eat, having only had a few seconds to look at the menu. It definitely was a little intimidating but we it wasn't too bothersome to ruin dinner. But, that also meant our food came out rather quickly. We ended having pho, a rice plate, egg rolls and springs rolls. It was all pretty good but I found that it lived in the middle of good and bad Vietnamese food in San Jose, nothing to go home and talk about but also not disappointing. The restaurant itself was alright, it's not outdated but also not maintained too well. Our booth had some rips in the seat and the bathrooms weren't the best either. A robot brings out some small plates of food, which is a little slow but a fun novelty to watch. Ultimately, if you're looking for the best Vietnamese food in San Jose, this might not be it but it can definitely fulfill a craving or two. read more

Pho 90 Degree has been one of my favorite places for Pho in San Jose since it opened many moons ago and continues to be one of the top places for Pho for me today. The Certified Angus Beef meat quality here is simply the best, perfectly cooked, tender, and unmatched. My wife and I think they have the best meats compared to all other Pho places! The broth is equally perfect with great depth of flavor and has extra super aromatic note that my wife and I love so much. There's plenty of seating, both indoor and outdoor, with high ceilings, and is pretty aesthetic looking at Pho 90 Degree. read more

Pho 90 Degree - Vietnamese Near Me - San Jose, California

Lunch with mini me and this is her first time here. We chose the chef fav which is #15 or might be 16. It's the pho tai dap choi(?) and their spring rolls. We asked them to put the crushed peanuts on the side since mini me is allergic to peanuts. They're really nice that they gave 2 sauces which one without the crushed peanuts. Thank you very much. However, upon eating it, mini me got an allergic reaction so I had to rush to my car that I parked across the street to get Zyrtec . Good thing her allergic reaction wasn't too bad. I guess no spring rolls from this place for mini me since there's cross contamination. The noodle soup is amazing. We both enjoyed our lunch there even with the episode. The place is big but casual. The staff is efficient and tentative. They accept CC payments. I'll be back. read more

Final Thoughts: 4.00/5 Definitely your average Vietnamese restaurant dining experience. I've been here more than just a few times, but overall, the experiences are pretty standard. Not anything super outstanding, but it's just your average dining experience. Solid 4 stars for me. Food: Nem Nướng Cuốn: 4.3/5 My dish today. Translates out to a grilled pork paste spring roll. This item comes with two rolls. I've had this multiple times now. The sauce in general is usually what I look out for. This sauce seems to have quite a bit of a starch used for a thickener because it's very thick and almost like the honey thick consistency. Not too big of a concern since the flavor is good. For the roll itself, there is actually quite a nice chunk of the grilled pork in there. Other places will skimp on this sometimes, which is not ideal. The flavor and color are nice, as well. For the flavor, it's very umami, sweet, and has a good touch of garlic in it. Garlic makes this meat smell really good. There's that balance to it though, so it's very much present without being too overpowering. The crispy eggroll wrapper is a must for this dish. It's not the crispiest here though. This might be because it's premade or it's been sitting too closely to the vegetables, so it softened. One of my favorite dishes perhaps because of the flavors and different texture components happening in this dish. Cơm Tấm Sưồn Nướng, Lạp Xưởng, Trứng Chiên: -- This was my friends plate. I didn't try this today, but I've had other plates that were similar to this. Their grilled pork chops and meats are actually seasoned quite well. They're also very tender, which is a plus. Cánh Gà Bơ Tỏi: 4.5/5 Again, my friends dish that I did not try during this occasion, but have tried before. Their chicken wings are actually quite nice. First impression of them is that they've very small and look kind of dry. Once you actually eat it though and tear into the meat, it's actually very crispy on the outside and tender on the insider. The outside has a nice brushing of the garlic butter and the flavor is prominent, but not overpowering enough to coat your mouth. Goes very nicely with fish sauce. Gỏi Cuốn Tôm Thịt: 3.2/5 This dish is your classic spring roll. Two of them are provided. Again, did not eat my friends food today, but I have eaten this before. It's always hard for me to give this dish a high rating because I know the components that go into it and how the ratios always seem to fail me. Typically, you'll find that purchased spring rolls will always fill their rolls with vegetables and vermicelli with a few pieces of meat and 1.5 shrimps. They'll cut the shrimps in half and it's quite standard to only have three pieces of that in there...Ratios might not be the best, but their peanut and hoisin sauce dip is quite nice. Good balance of both flavors and one doesn't overpower the other. --------- Quality: Nice greens Their vegetables are often quite green and very crispy, which is something I appreciate. The vegetables inside of the rolls were also very nice, so the quality seems fine. Nothing significant to note here. Price: Average Their prices are pretty average and standard for a Vietnamese restaurant. The appetizers are currently priced between $8 to $9 and the main entrees are within a $14 to $18 price range with a few outliers. Seems pretty standard for your average plate of food these days in the Bay Area. Service: Limited There was really limited interactions because they just take the order, deliver the food, and then we either go pay at the front or they bring us the check. The thing with this restaurant is that they have a robot that does some of the waiting for them, as well. This makes our interactions even more limited. No significant notes really. Ambiance: Spacious This area is quite spacious inside and their ceilings are high. I like that because it gives it a more fancy and elegant feeling to it. It's really not anything of the sort, but it just feels that way. This is where we go for a simple dinner or lunch sometimes. Location/Parking: Vietnam Town Vietnam Town can either have a lot of parking or no parking at all depending on the day and time. For the size of this area, the parking is ok. Typically, there isn't really an issue with it, but when you hit the weekends, rush hours, and big event days here, parking becomes such a big problem. They have a parking garage that's a little bit far from this location specifically, but if you want to get your steps in, that is also an option. read more

Overall, this place is just okay. The food is decent, but nothing too special. My friend asked for no cilantro with his pho and then ended up giving him no veggies at all. Service was okay considering you have to flag down someone every time you need something. Inside is nice and it doesn't look like it ever gets too busy. I think the biggest appeal is that it's located in this large plaza that has other stores/restaurants near by. read more

Just got out of watching Frozen the Musical in SJ Convention Center and headed to Pho Hanoi only to find that they closed at 9pm and luckily stumbled into Pho 90 degrees and was pleasantly surprised.

Arrived on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't busy, pretty quiet considering it was Christmas Eve. We got a table for 7 people and were served on a timely manner - they only took awhile to get us water (we asked several times) but our food came together and not too long after we ordered. I ordered bun cha hanoi and it was delicious. They packed the assortment of meats into the bowl which had the special sauce and pickled veggies. I was a bit worried it wouldn't taste good at first because it didn't seem like a popular item and this place is known for pho, but I was happy with my choice and would make it again. read more

There was an old lady with glasses who yanked my card out of my hand several times and kept trying to insert it and charge me for food I didn't eat all. I ordered spring rolls with the grilled pork meatball and only ate two out of the four pieces. I ordered a sugarcane drink that I didn't drink yet. So she was trying to charge me basically $18 but I barely touched my food and drink. I sat and was waiting for security to come so I could explain the situation. I was worried getting overdraft fee because of this charge. This was the first time this ever happened and the old lady claimed this was the second time this happened when that was an outright lie. That old lady had no right to grab my card and use it. Update: I am back home now and my stomach is hurting. The two halves of the spring rolls I had were all I ate today but I'm not feeling well and the restaurant kept the rest of the food and drink even though they charged the full price. I didn't take anything because of how I was treated after going to them for help and ask what could I do when I didn't have enough money in my bank to pay for the entire order. I was gonna get paid tomorrow and the $100 deposit would go through but they just made things difficult accusing me of not paying even though I was trying to but didn't have enough. So maybe it's best I don't eat anything else from them ever again especially with the financial issue from today and getting sick from eating only two halves of the spring rolls. read more

*Visited Thursday 12/19/024 around 10:30pm Came here with my boyfriend for a late night pho dinner and was pleasantly surprised that the food here has improved. The last time I've been here was about two years ago. This recent visit was nice and peasant, our waiter was pretty kind and quick to get our orders in.
