    Fresh veggies on the side.
    Sonya E.

    First time dining here and thought the pho was relatively good -- I think more pricey per bowl than nearby competitors but I think they may be factoring the amount of meats they add to the bowl. The broth was soothing and on the sweeter side. These guys definitely didn't skimp on the amount of protein added to each bowl and I did notice the noodles were cooked right. Thank goodness. The restaurant itself was nicer than the typical pho joints in San Jose. Service was standard as our server seemed very underwhelmed directing guests to tables -- and lacked enthusiasm taking our order. Paying $90+ after gratuity for three bowls of pho, I would've appreciated at least a smile. I would give this spot another try in the future to know for sure if it makes it to my top three pho spots in town.

    Solid pho joint! Came on a Tuesday night and it was pretty quiet. The pho soup feels clean but flavorful! Meats were well cooked as well. Cute interior, modern and upscale place. Service was on friendly and on point.

    Pho Dang is not your usual pho spot. The interior is classy and stylish. The pho comes out in huge bowls with nice presentation. The parkinglot can be full at times. Spots weren't plentiful, but a little patience can go a long way. Staff seated us and provided water and menus quickly. Ordering through them was easy as well. Fresh noodles are offered! The pho tai was a large bowl with flavorful broth. The fresh noodles were a good texture and not soggy. The meat was more plain than I liked, but not overdone with the hot soup. Green onions and cilantro were plentiful in the bowl. It was also served with a large side of bean sprouts and limes. The pricing is a little steep in comparison to other places, but the quality and ambiance difference is what you're paying for. I'll be back for special occasion pho!

    Finally tried Pho Deng and I'm still thinking about that bowl of pho like it changed my personality a little Pho Tai Duoi Bo (Ox Tail Pho) This was hands down the freshest ox tail I've ever had in pho. Not just good. Not just tender. Fresh. The meat tasted clean and pure in a way that's hard to explain. Almost refined. The broth threw me off at first because it's different from most pho spots. I was told they use fewer "random" ingredients, and honestly that makes sense. It's less loud, less spice-heavy, less cluttered. Instead it tastes... pure. Clear. Focused. Like the essence of beef without distraction. I've never had broth like it before. The steak on the menu says filet mignon, and if that's true, that explains everything. The slices were insanely tender and flavorful. Melt-in-your-mouth level. Only note: the broth was warm, not scorching hot. Every pho place I've ever been to serves it lava-level hot, and I love it that way. We all mentioned we prefer it scorching. That said, the upside was we didn't have to wait forever for it to cool down. Silver lining energy Bun Cha Ha Noi I heard this was a newer dish on the menu and wow... this might be my new favorite Vietnamese dish. It comes with white noodles on the side that you dip into the broth. The meat was a mix of pork patties and separate pork pieces. The broth was surprisingly sweet, but in a good way. Balanced, flavorful, really addictive. My only complaint? I wish there was more broth. It was so good that I felt like I ran out too soon. Drinks Peach tea? Bomb. Easy recommendation. Egg coffee? I underestimated it. I've never had it before and treated it like regular American coffee. Big mistake. I chugged it and immediately felt like my heart was about to start doing Olympic sprints It's rich, sweet, and intense. Sip it. Respect it. Small Side Note Both restrooms were out of soap for the entire hour we were there, which was disappointing. Definitely something that should be addressed. Overall, I would absolutely recommend Pho Deng. The ox tail pho was unique and incredibly high quality, the bun cha Ha Noi is something I'll be craving again soon, and the drinks were memorable. If you want a pho experience that tastes clean, refined, and different from the usual heavy-spice profile, this place stands out in a really good way.

    Returned back and it's my first time coming in the morning and service was super fast! From ordering with our server and receiving our food was probably less than 20min. I've never eaten here in the morning before and the change of service is such a difference. I recommend going in the morning if you want everything fast fast fast. I always get the special pho and pickled onions and the broth & meat quality is always consistent. This is on my list of favorite pho in San Jose :)

    Pho with crunchy flank and meatballs
    Janey L.

    I really enjoyed my pho this time! The soup was hot (not luke warm), the meatballs are great. Highly recommend ordering the meatballs. I like crunchy meat so I got the crunchy flank also. My husband likes their rare steak. It's very tender. We always get the flat noodles. It was a good experience.

    Came here and a chilly night, so I had to get pho. I heard many things about this place so I was excited. The special pho (5/5): Not going to spell it all out, but this pho had the most types of different meats. I thought the broth was very fragrant with airoma. The broth was something that definitely caught my eye, not really the other things. Still on the journey to find my favorite pho place in SJ!

    Food - the broth is so soothing and so much flavor not to mention the good amount of noodles and meat in your bowl. I felt full and satisfied. Parking -plenty of parking out in front Service - our waiter to stop bringing us water and condiments everyone was friendly and I felt welcomed. Ambience - the decor is very warm and I love the wood ceilings and the tables to chairs very unique designs. I highly recommend anyone trying out this restaurant

    I came to pho dang with a friend around 11am on a Tuesday with a friend and we were promptly seated. It's more intimate and modern inside than expected, though tables were a tad close together giving it a little bit of a cramped feel despite the more modern furnishings. Service was polite and quick. I got the Pho Chin: portions were large, and the broth was perfectly warm and clean. The amount of meat and noodles was reasonable but didn't stand out in quality. I did appreciate the large amount of bean sprouts and herbs that were provided, and I really enjoyed their house spicy sauce and pickled garlic. Overall, Pho Dang provides a more modern, fancy atmosphere than most pho spots, and I really enjoyed the veggies, herbs, and condiments here, but the pho itself didn't stand out enough to justify the much higher price compared to the many other great pho spots in the area.

    Pho tai duoi bo

    Maybe unqualified to judge how good a bowl of pho is and what's a good price. For how much you're paying, I don't think the food was worth it. When you walk in, the ambiance immediately stands out -- the decor is very modern and polished, definitely more stylish than most mom-and-pop pho spots. We came on a quieter day with only two other tables, but that made for good service, although the staff were kind of hiding in the back. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the price. The broth came out a bit lukewarm and felt thinner than I prefer, with a noticeable lack of depth in flavor. The meat was tender and they do give you the option to choose between thinner or thicker noodles, which I appreciated. Portions-wise, there were plenty of veggies, but the noodles felt skimpy for the cost. At around $26 per person for a bowl of pho, it felt pricey for what you're getting. Given the options on story road alone, I'd definitely try somewhere else next time.

    Solid 3: - al dante noodles but skimpy amount - loads of tender meat - ok broth - lots of veggies - super pricey...$23 rounded up

    Lilian F.

    Overall, okay! Location: in a shared plaza with some other restaurants right in front of a Walmart. The lot right outside the restaurant is on the smaller side but behind is a significantly larger lot where the Walmart is located Ambiance: clean modern Asian decor, relatively small but decent mix of smaller (seating 4) and larger (seating 6) tables Service: quick to take our order and our food came out within 5 minutes of ordering Food/drinks: ** Pho tai: the bowl came out with steam but the temperature of the broth was only lukewarm... meat was tender. Broth was clean but I think the depth of flavor was lacking. They do give you the option of choosing thinner (more typical of southern style pho) vs thicker noodles (more typical of northern style pho) ** Cafe sua da (Vietnamese coffee): THICK and STRONG. Loved it -- not sure if this straight Lee's sandwiches coffee concentrate (the texture and flavor is very reminiscent if not identical if I'm honest) but I like the Lee's coffee so no complaints here Cost: came out to be $75 for two pho and two drinks which is pretty pricey IMO but relative to the cost of living to be expected

    Good pho spot that has decently late hours! Came here around 9:00 PM on a Saturday and there were very few people there. The tables are big with these wide heavy cushioned chairs, so it's a little more upscale than other more casual spots nearby. The waitstaff were very efficient, and we got our food in about 5 minutes. I got the Pho Tai and the meat was very tender. They gave the largest amount of basil and bean sprouts I've ever seen from a restaurant. Plenty of noodles, a bit pricier than other places in the area but good quality. I wish the broth was more flavorful.

I highly recommend order online in advance as the wait can be about 30-40 minutes. Upon arriving, the inside was packed with people waiting for their orders. I ordered the 6 eggrolls and asked for 3 regular eggrolls and 3 netted eggrolls so that I could try both. The eggrolls come with veggies (lettuce, mint, and cilantro). It also came with pickled veggies and fish sauce. I also ordered 4 of their nem nuong as not every Vietnamese spot offers this type of spring roll. These have grilled pork in them rather than pork and shrimp. It comes with its own sauce which I'm not sure what its made of. The nem nuong were delicious with the grilled pork and there is a crispy component inside, too. They taste fresh and the sauce is tangy. I like the addition of the small chili sauce they give you on the side. The real show stoppers have to be the eggrolls though. They are perfectly crispy and filled with delicious pork filling. The veggies they provide are really fresh and the pickled veggies helps to add more depth. The eggrolls themselves don't feel too heavy or oily either which I really appreciated. The gentleman behind the counter was friendly when I was picking up. Overall, I would definitely recommend this spot and can imagine how their party trays must be a big hit!

Yes, the fish sauce smell lingers on your hands, but it's completely worth it because the flavors are incredible. There's plenty of parking since it's located in a strip mall, which made it easy and convenient to visit. If you love crispy-style egg rolls, I highly recommend this spot. I'll definitely be stopping by every time I'm in the area.

I was a bit skeptical of getting a hot noodle soup on a hot day, but I figured it'd be great to find a solid bun rieu spot closer to me than my current defaults all the way in Milpitas. The #1 came out first and rather quickly, the #10 took a bit longer but wasn't a long wait by any means. The first thing I noticed was that the plate of add-ins was rather unique, I've never received perilla leaves or banana flowers with my bun rieu before. The broth had great flavor and this soup did come with pork blood cubes. I would definitely come back for the bun rieu. Hot soup noodle soup on a hot day wasn't actually so bad. I tried some of the Special Rice Rolls and felt unsure, maybe it's an acquired taste but I wasn't an immediate fan.
