    pho ga
    Claudia H.

    best pho i've had in bay area no competition. only 2nd (or possibly tied with) to all about pho out of all pho i've had Ever Worldwide. soup is not too salty and not oily, tastes clean. food comes out super fast

    One of my go-to pho spots. - The broth is rich and flavorful - The meat is tender - The portions are seriously generous. I also love that they don't charge extra for fresh noodles--a nice bonus you don't always get at other pho spots.

    People are still waiting outside and the place is packed.  Sign up sheet is on the world.  Buy 10 and get 1 free.

    The broth is flavorful. I didn't have to add anything on my bowl. I just dipped my meat separately. The service was quick and fast. Extra lemon wedges were accommodated wth no extra cost so it was a plus. The waitress didn't ask if we wanted any drinks. Small place but it is truly packed. Could be loud and a lot of foot traffic cause the tables were seated closely in order to get maximum capacity. Check out the bowl size. I couldn't finish all the meat. The waiter provided a pair of scissors for the short rib because it came as one big piece. It was one good meal even though it was randomly pick for today's quick visit in San Jose. Didn't try their drink maybe next time. Of course it will definitely be next time. Distance do not stop good eating lol. Thank you for being in community!!!

    Torched Kobe beef
    Brian T.

    One of my top pho spots in SJ and they open late. Small wait on a Monday night with waitlist by paper on the wall. Decently sized restaurant. Started with the fish sauce chicken wings tasty but wings are on the smaller side. I got the torched Kobe beef pho and you can see them torch at the counter before bringing it out. Char smoky flavor on the tender Kobe beef. The short rib was also tender with the tendon attached still. Pho comes with fresh noodles and the soup here is on the sweeter side. Fresh veggies were nice. Plenty of parking late night in this plaza but days can be busy.

    1. Special Combo #1 with oxtail

    This is my 2nd time coming here and it does not disappoint. You know the pho here is gonna be good if that is all they serve. I had the #1 special with the oxtail, tendon, brisket and meatballs and it was delicious. It definitely hit the spot on a slightly windy day. The broth has a slight cinnamon taste to it but it is not overpowering and once you add your mint and other flavors in there then it can go away. The pho by itself is just as good. If you do not want to wait long definitely come in either before the lunch rush or after since I had to wait a few minutes but it was worth it.

    We had high hopes based on the ratings. We shared the oxtail pho combo and chicken wings. Parking was easy and abundant on a busy Saturday afternoon. We were seated fairly quickly. The positives: The pho broth was very good. Chicken was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The cons: The hoisin sauce on our table had either exploded or someone loosened the bottle. There was sauce on the "clean" utensils. We didn't see our server after we placed our order. So we were left to clean up someone else's mess. The noodles were clump led together and hard to pull apart. A third of the noodles were actually just in a balled up cluster that we needed to cut apart. The oxtail was chewy and tough. I had to cut it off the bone with scissors. The glaze on the wings were overly sweet. Sadly, we didn't have a good experience.

    Was in the mood for soup and been wanting to try this place as it was all over social media. Came in for late lunch and it hit the spot. Im usually not into white noodles but this time I decided to give it a try as I was told to try the fresh ones. I ordered the beef rib pho and it came piping hot with huge tender fall of the bone beef rib. The broth was nice and clear not salty at all. The gave right amount of noodle for me and lots of broth. My only complaint was the cleanliness of the utensils and the sauce bottles.

    $7.50 for less than 3 whole meatballs...??

    Big fat meh. As someone who's lived in sj for 30 years and eaten viet food almost every single week, sometimes multiple times a week, this place is wholly overrated, and not good. We came on a Sunday around 12:15 and waited around half an hour to be seated. When we placed our order, the server read back our order to us correctly (3 bowls of pho and a side of meatballs) but then only 2 bowls came out. After 5 min I asked about the third bowl and she said "you didn't order that" --but everyone at my table agreed they both heard me order 3 bowls and heard her repeat the order back to me. She came back in another 5 min with the bowl. Throughout the meal, we also kept getting other people's orders which was really annoying and the waiters were all mumbling so you couldn't hear what they were saying. The pho tai was fine, but the broth was luke warm and the beef was pretty tough. The side of meatballs was $7.50 and was literally 2-3 meatballs cut into chunks, not worth it at all. For the price ($75+ for 3), wait, and (lack of) service, you're much better off going to pho Kim long instead.

    My child and her father dine at Pho Duoi Bo quite frequently. Because I am generally not a fan of this particular meal, I've always declined the offers of coming here. Today, that all changed and I can understand Pho Duoi Bo's hype... Lemme start off by giving their BUY 10 BOWL, GET 1 FREE offer. This loyalty stamp program is a rarity and the business owner's generosity should 100% be celebrated. With that said, my BD is extremely forgetful and never actually gets anything stamped- LMAO!!! The menu offering is strictly pho. Beef pho, chicken pho, seafood pho.... They got it all. The only exception would be the appetizers: eggrolls or chicken wings. I like the sweet and simple approach- this simplifies things tremendously and the business focuses on their craft. WIN, WIN! Dinner consisted of: * Phở Đuôi Bò Đặc Biệt [SPECIAL Oxtail Pho Combination] * Tai Filetmignon, Nạm, Gân, Sách [Filetmignon steak, Well Done Flank, Tendon, Tripe] * Hành Dấm [Onion Vinegar] * Café SữaĐá [Vietnamese Ice Coffee] Herbs come out first and that is the initial foreshadowing of how your meal will essentially be. Pho Duoi Bo provides a nice portion of blanched bean sprouts, Thai basil, sliced jalapeños, & lemon wedges. Everything was top tier kinda fresh- vibrant green hues, the appropriate crisp factors proving the veg hasn't been sitting out or cut waaay waaay in advanced. The pho comes out shortly after along with the thinly sliced vinegar onion. For those of you who have never tried the onions, please do! This gives such a nice, tangy, bright, and crunchy factor to the meal- it helps balance the typical fatty broth. Both banh pho and banh pho tuoi were delicious- cooked well, portions were good, and they don't charge extra for the fresh version. The worst thing you can do is pay extra for some fresh noodles that end up being NOT SO FRESH with other pho establishments. Meats were plentiful and I enjoyed the chewy bite in my tendon chunks. My only honest complaint was wanting the broth to have a more depth flavoring of the spices and aromatics found in a legit bowl of liquid gold pho broth. Still very good but it just could have been ever so slightly better. 5/5 stars and that says a lot coming from someone who generally doesn't care for pho. The coffee alone is worth a return visit!! Food is great, the establishment is clean, and the service is really kind. I see you, Pho Duoi Bo!! You're absolutely doin' your thang and you're killing it in the kitchen!! Job well done!

    TIME: came here at 6:40 pm on a tuesday, was kind of packed, but still got seated at a small table in the middle for two. PARKING: is in a plaza center so not really hard to park anywhere at all. INTERIOR: very nice and casual seating, just a good handful of seats so if it's busy it would probably be hard to grab a seat unless you would want to wait SERVICE: you just get seated down, they take down your order, wait for food, and then you can either wait for them to come up and check you out or you can just get up and go to the front register and get checked out. FOOD: KOBE PHO - sooo good, the meat came out first, we got it torched and the meat came with onions which i added into my pho and it was so good. the meat is very tasty and not hard to bite at all. EGG ROLLS - super delicious, piping hot, good serving size, and great amounts of filling OVERALL: never had kobe pho and i'm glad it did. solid pho place that i loved trying. kind of different in a way

    Pho Duoi Bo was buuusy at 12AM. I was worried we'd be cut off from being served, so it was nice to know they keep letting people in to dine until the actual closing time at 12:30AM. (I know of some restaurants that stop taking dine-in if it's close to closing hours.) The pho was good! I ordered #5 (Tai Filet mignon, Chín). Portion of meat/noodle was a little smaller than what I'm used to since I usually am fully stuffed after eating pho, but that wasn't the case here. Staff were pretty quick, despite the many customers. It's not a large place, but they fit as many tables as possible in the space. Glad I was able to dine here and appreciate the late hours!

    I think this might be the best pho I've had in San Jose. The broth is so flavorful and the cuts of meat are so meaty and tasty. The oxtail is a good addition to the pho, though it does make it pricier but it's worth trying if you're visiting Service is pretty fast and efficient. Despite having bit of a line we were seated fairly quickly after the wait. Also served pretty quickly after being seated. Restaurant is fairly casual and has some nice paintings as decor on the walls Overall highly recommend

    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 recently ordered catering items from SJ Eggrolls for a birthday party I was hosting, and it was…read moresooo delicious! I ordered a tray of 20 nem nuong rolls and 40 pieces of their banh khot. Both items were so generous and actually fairly large! It also came with a side of their orange sauce for the rolls and fish sauce, veggies/herbs, and chilies on the side for guests who love spicy. Definitely larger portions and super affordable. We picked up the items 30 mins before our party started, and they were still fresh and crispy throughout the whole night! I was expecting the banh khot to get soggy/be soggy but it held up very nicely. I love the way they packaged everything and would 100% recommend for those who need easy finger food for their parties. Also ordering from them was very easy. I did it online a week in advance and they texted me at exactly 530p to let me know it was ready for pickup. Inside was a little small, considering it's mostly pickup and go, but loved how quick and easy everything was!

The netted egg rolls and banh khot came with a baggie of greens: lettuce and fresh herbs. I thought everything was tasty, but if I'm being honest, it still wasn't on SoCal level. All our food was solid, though my friend found a hair halfway into her netted egg roll. She set it aside and tried not to think about further. We also ordered a sugar cane and passion fruit tea which was refreshing. They ran out of pandan waffles so we got the cookies to go (meh). Mostly a to-go establishment with party trays available. They do have a couple small tables and chairs if you want to eat there while it's fresh though.

We've probably eaten here 50+ times with family and friends, and one thing I can say is that they are 100% consistent. We've never had a bad meal here. There's a great variety of Vietnamese dishes, so everyone can usually find something they like. The chả cá (fish) is one of their popular dishes and a favorite. They also have good chicken phở, broken rice, vermicelli noodles, spring rolls, roll-your-own options, and plenty of soups beyond phở. You can order individual dishes or share family-style, which makes it especially easy when coming with a group. It's very casual, family-friendly, quick, and straightforward--nothing fancy and probably not where I'd choose for a date night. But for a dependable meal with family or friends, it's a great spot. Kids like it, parents like it, and my mom likes it--which says a lot coming from an older Vietnamese person who knows her Vietnamese food! The staff is always efficient and nice, and after all these years, the food remains consistently good. The biggest downside is parking. The entire shopping center has become so busy with restaurants that finding a spot can be overwhelming, especially during peak hours. Also, keep in mind they do not take credit cards. Bring cash, or you can pay electronically through options such as Zelle/Venmo. Overall, this is one of those longtime neighborhood restaurants we keep coming back to because we know exactly what we're going to get: good Vietnamese food, plenty of choices, friendly service, and consistency.

I appreciated the comfortable space, cleanliness, friendly staff, and variety on the menu. I'd be open to coming back and trying something different next time.
