    This place is an easy 5 stars. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by the aromatic scent of simmering star anise, and the atmosphere feels authentic, casual, and welcoming. The main meat used is filet mignon instead of normal beef. I ordered the #3 Kobe pho, torched, and it was outstanding. The broth is what really sets this place apart, it's incredibly clean yet full of flavor, with just the right amount of star anise coming through without overpowering the other spices. I usually end up adding a lot of hoisin sauce to my pho, but here I didn't feel the need at all. The broth stands perfectly on its own. I practically drank all the broth. The Kobe was tender, and the torched preparation added another layer of flavor that made the bowl feel extra special. Overall, I'd highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a new pho restaurant. Great food, authentic atmosphere, and a broth that's memorable enough to keep you coming back.

    Took my family out to the new pho spot in town. Food: 5/5 You have the option of getting regular thin chewier noodles or fresh flat soft noodles and we all got the fresh noodles. Each bowl was loaded with meat! Often times when I picked up noodles, there would be meat slices that get picked up too. We got two orders of the short rib pho special and there was SO MUCH meat on the bone! They gave us scissors that we could use to cut the meat off. The short rib was very soft and good. Ambiance: 5/5 There is a good amount of parking in the plaza. There is a nice art mural in the background and lots of seating for different party sizes. The tables are big enough to fit several bowls of pho. They play modern music here and there is a screen to see which songs are playing. The pho is affordable here because you get a lot of meat and you will leave feeling very full! Service: 4/5 There is a pitcher of water with a lemon inside that you can pour yourself. My family of 4 ordered 4 pho bowls and I liked that we got two plates of vegetables to share. The waiter only mentioned the number of our pho order so it took awhile to differentiate which bowls was which. I usually ask for rare steak on the side but it costs $1 extra so I didn't get that and it we still red in my broth so it was fine. It was really good with high quality meat. I highly recommend this spot!

    I loved the pho--it was easily one of the best bowls I've had! The broth had so much depth and was perfectly seasoned without being too salty. You could smell and taste the different spices before even taking the first bite, especially the cinnamon and star anise. The filet mignon was incredibly tender and complemented the broth perfectly. I also enjoyed the noodles, although they were slightly softer than I personally prefer. The portion size was generous and very satisfying. Overall, the pho was flavorful, aromatic, and well balanced. I would definitely order it again!

    Seafood pho
    Anita C.

    It's okay. Came here due to high help rating. It was decent seafood pho with minimal protein added on for $17 but the part that made it just okay was I was so thirsty post dinner. Will have to try other places in the area.

    Service is quick and great. The server was quick to seat us and take our order. She was very knowledgeable and answered my questions well. The place looks clean and well maintained. There is plenty of seating and the condiments are always topped off. Food is great and flavorful. Bowls are reasonably priced for the type of meat they use

    Husband really want to try this place and I am glad we did because it was really good. The food came out really fast. We also did not wait long for our table. The broth is flavorful. I didn't have to add anything else. I got the combo oxtail pho -comes with oxtail, beef and tendon. The meat is tender. The broth is awesome. Husband got the beef ribs. The meat is so soft, tender and pullout the bone. There is a lot stores in here so be prepared to wait for parking spot. Its a busy place.

    Date: Tuesday, May 19th, 2026 Party of: 2 Time: around 10pm Meal: Dinner 2. Short Rib Special Combo / Pho Suon Bo ($22.75) 14. Pho Filet Mignon Steak, Well Done Flank, Tendon, Tripe ($17.98) *Sale Tax - 10% ($4.07) On the way back to SJ, the hubby and I decided to actually stop to have a meal. There weren't many options for late night on Tues, so we decided to try out the pho here. We walked in and were seated immediately. Tho it was actually pretty busy for a random Tues night. My pho was good. Lots of meat, veggies, etc. The broth was a little on on sweeter side for me. The hubs mentioned that as well. Both I balanced it with a bunch of hot sauce. I know they are more known for their kobe bowl, but idk. It didn't seem like it was gonna elevate the pho, so I decided against trying it. Maybe an excuse for a return. Good pho tho a lil pricey. Extra points for staying open late on a weekday. REVIEW #4065

    Pho Duoi Bo (San Jose, CA): Dining Room Area
    Savannah R.

    I visited Pho Duoi Bo in San Jose, CA [2465 Alvin Ave] on Monday, 06/29/26, around 11:30 AM. I came here because I've seen a lot of social media buzz (specifically Instagram) associated with this restaurant. For lunch, I ordered the #2, which was the SPECIAL Short Rib Combination Pho, priced at $22.75. I must say that this bowl of soup was beyond flavorful and filling. The meat from the Short Rib was generous in portion, the broth was tasty and the additions of other meats/veggies were great. My pho included basil leaves, squeezed lemon juice, jalapeño peppers, and sriracha sauce. The service was attentive. The inside of the restaurant was amazing, especially with the gold-forward details and wall art. The sauces and utensils were even nicely organized for use at the dining tables. Overall, I was impressed with the execution of the SPECIAL Short Rib Combination Pho. SPECTACULAR! I'm from the 209 area, so the drive was well worth it. I highly recommend stopping by.

    #4. Pho Filet Mignon Rare Steak
    Yvonne Y.

    We were in the neighborhood and decided to stop by after seeing the great Yelp reviews. I'm so glad we did! We came around 1 p.m. on a Sunday, and the restaurant wasn't crowded. We were seated right away, and seeing lots of Vietnamese customers made us feel like we picked the right place. After looking at the menu, it was clear that the signature here is the oxtail pho. The giant bowl looked amazing, but I wasn't very hungry, so I ordered the #4 rare beef pho while my husband got the signature oxtail pho. When the food arrived, my bowl looked a little plain compared to his overflowing bowl of oxtail and other cuts of beef. Luckily, he shared some with me, and it turned out to be the perfect combination. The broth was absolutely delicious. It was rich, flavorful, and served piping hot. Honestly, it's one of the best pho broths I've had, and I enjoyed it even more than Pho Ha Noi. The beef was tender, and my husband loved how much oxtail came with his bowl. The restaurant was clean, the service was friendly, and they even have a buy 10, get 1 free loyalty card, which was a nice surprise. We'll definitely be back. Highly recommend!

    Pho w/ Rare steak, fatty brisket (gau) and beef balls
    Anthony N.

    I've been eating pho a lot lately and I think this is tied with another restaurant (Pho To Chau 99) as my #1. Been here a few times now and I love that: 1. The broth is well balanced. Not the richest or most savory in flavor as my other fave but has a pleasant depth from initial taste to after taste 2. The rare steak and fatty brisket are TENDER. Pho Duoi Bo wins in this dept. Beef balls are good but not my fave. 3. They are super generous with the green onion and I love that it's cut short and long. Notable mentions: + for giving me two lemon wedges where as most places only provide one then too many when I ask for extra (I don't need a whole ass lime/lemon for my bowl). + for the frequent diner stamp card + for opening late! This may be the best bowl you can find in SJ at such a late hour (12:30am)

    Pho Kobe
    Natalie T.

    Pho is unique, delicious, and the best part... they are open late!! I got the pho Kobe, which is not really offered at typical Vietnamese pho shops, so I decided to give it a try and yeah, this was really good! What they do differently here is torch the Kobe beef, plate it on the side, and you eat the smokey savory beef slices as you are eating your pho (I always get fresh noodles, they are better trust me) the beef was soft, tender, and had a fantastic bite with the fresh pho noodles. Also the soup was incredibly beefy, and a bit oily, but I actually like that in my pho soups! it's a pretty decent sized restaurant, and I absolutely love they are open late whenever I am craving some pho. However the lighting is actually so bright in there, that is my only feedback, but the pho itself is delicious!

    Ox Tail combination pho! 4/5
    Keen B.

    We love Pho and this place did not disappoint! I got the Beef Rib Dinosaur fall of the bone Pho! My wife got the Oxtail Pho combination. Both Pho had good Aroma and broth had wonderful flavors to them. Service was fast and efficient. Place was packed and people was in and out with people. Definitely be back if we are in town again.

    July 2026 menu

    Open until 12:30 AM daily. We arrived quite late, maybe around 11 PM, and there was a waitlist. The service was kind of nonexistent and lagging but quite typical for a pho shop. The floors were dirty with food still there, too. Giving them some slack because they're open late and I would think they've been busy and working hard all day. I know their name translates to pho oxtail but no one in our group ordered it. We each had different combinations and one chicken pho. When our bowls came out, my first thought was the serving size was small but in a big bowl. However, once I started eating, it was definitely plentiful and filling. The broth was slightly too salty for my liking but it was still aromatic and tasty. The chicken pho was said to be delicious as well, as it had a clean and definitive flavor. It was also served with a side of nuoc mam gung to dip the chicken in. Overall, good late night pho spot.

    I have allergic with MSG "Bot Ngot", your Pho does not include it into the ingredient in broth soup recipes, right? Thanks,

    Hello, Sorry the broth does have little MSG. If you are allergic to it the you should avoid it. Sorry.

    Omg I see they have oxtail soup. Besides that soup, what else should I try? It doesn’t have to be soup, just a must try delicious recommendation ? :)

    Please lower the volume of TV... it's so annoying that I cannot enjoy the meal... will most likely not recommend my friends to go there since we can't have a normal conversation... so pathetic sad

I love that the rice paper itself was flavorful, savory, spicy, shrimpy and garlicky. The tamarind sauce on the side was sweet and tangy. I like to pour it over the rice paper so it softened up. I also like the toppings they added for the mixed combo rice paper, nice blend of texture and flavors from jerky, pork rinds, mango, and egg. My personal favorite topping was the Vietnamese coriander, perfect to pair with the rice paper. I highly recommend the combo mixed rice paper. I also got their milk tea & coconut kumquat to try & tbh they were super disappointing. The milk tea & coconut kumquat were unbearably sweet, I couldn't even get to half of the cups. For the milk tea, the tea scent didn't pulled through at all. I was basically sipping on burnt sugary milk. Overall, giving this place 3/5 star because they need to improve their drinks.

Occasionally burnt espresso but I love them too much to mind. I am a matcha snob to say the LEAST. Hands down best coffee shop matcha in the Bay Area. The classic iced matcha latte with honey is grassy and earthy and creamy and a little sweet. The iced banana pudding matcha latte had people lined up around the corner for months when it came out. It is deliciously worth the wait. Best banana cold foam in my opinion because it's made with actual bananas instead of flavoring so it's much more mellow. The double matcha they had for awhile is also awesome. Banana cold foam also goes great on an espresso latte. Now they let you add whichever cold foam you like to whatever drink which is great. Basically you can't go wrong. They are always changing up the menu for the new season and have lots of unique drinks on their menu. Not much seating inside at this location. The winchester Blvd one has more if that's what you're looking for. Their pastries are also all yummy and they sell their matcha powder for $60 for 100g which is a GREAT price for a great matcha.
