    Got the combo pho, grilled pork vermicelli, and fries. Enough for 2 adults and 2 kids. Food was tasty and kids loved it! Service was fast and the area was clean.

    Ordered the pork and shrimp rice plate and hubby ordered the pork Vietnamese sandwich, both were delicious! We dined in and the ordering experience was simplified because they give you an iPad to order I also highly recommend the Matcha drinks , we ordered pistachio cream and banana cream Matcha latte's.

    First time here and I will be back. Great Pho soup and different types of foods on the menu. Sandwiches, ribs, Korean corn dogs?? never had those before and look forward to trying them out on my next visit. Location is perfect Almaden Expressway off Hgwy 85. Easy to get to and in a busy area with other food restaurants and other types of merchants. Service was great. Young people helping us out and explaining the ways to order on the Ipad menu's. They had some good jazz type of music playing on the speakers. I ordered the spicy beef pho and spring egg rolls and they did the job filling me up and not too heavy on my stomach. The spice was oily and next time I will use the Sriracha sauce instead. It was still good. I finished the whole bowl.

    I don't get a lot of alone time, so when the opportunity presents itself, I try to capitalize on it. Two Sundays ago I found myself free and so I wanted to treat myself out. I've been on this pho kick for over a year and I knew I did not want to drive far. I've tried almost every pho restaurants in my area except for this place. It's one of the first Vietnamese restaurant that I ordered and paid before my food arrive. Like what if I wanted to order more food? Anyway, just first world problems. The restaurant is clean and the service was quick and great. They checked on me a couple times to make sure everything was fine. The tendon can use a little more time in the pot, but overall a very delicious bowl of pho; the broth was light and flavorful, meats were tender, and herbs were fresh. I was surprised they did not charge for the rare steak on the side. I'll come back to try their other menu offerings.

    We happen to be in the San Jose Almaden area looking for a spot to eat. The Pho Kitchen came up on my search as new and trendy in the area. We decided to check them out. We arrived for lunch on a Saturday afternoon recently. The Vietnamese restaurant is located in the nice Almaden Ranch Marketplace in San Jose. Parking is available in the parking lot all around the plaza. The restaurant has simple vibrant modern decor. There is a family friendly and cozy vibe going on. There are plenty of tables and booths for dine in at the spacious restaurant. We wanted to try a bit of everything, so we ordered shrimp & avocado spring rolls, Taiwanese basil popcorn chicken, chicken wings with sweet chili sauce, meatballs noodle soup, dragon fruit Italian soda, and the shrimp & egg rolls vermicelli. Everything was delicious. The spring rolls were so scrumptious with the peanut dipping sauce. My favorite dish was the popcorn chicken. It was flavorful and crispy with every bite. The plump shrimp and crispy egg rolls in the vermicelli went very well with the fish sauce soaked noodles. My son said he enjoyed his sweet Italian soda very much. Overall we enjoyed our experience at Pho Kitchen. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The tablet menu to order that is provided to your table is a nice touch. All the food was good quality, authentic, and freshly made. We hope to be back to try other dishes.

    Pho with Well Done Brisket, no onions

    In this quiet, jazzy evening, I encountered Pho Kitchen, taking over the former noodle place that used to be here. It was a very clean place, and quite surprised that there were only a couple of people eating at this place. Finding a table was no trouble, and at the register you can order for to-go if you wish. For those who are eating on location like me, I received a tablet to order the food from one of the staff. Seeing pictures of the food through the tablet was helpful. They can help you customize your pho option, in which I got a well done brisket pho with no veggies on it. In under 10 minutes, I received my order, hot and ready. I think the spoons of this restaurant could be changed. It's not really the right spoon to eat with soup. The pho noodles were okay, though I wish it were soaked more in the broth because it tasted bland than other places I had visited. The meat was cooked well. I'm curious to try the meatball pho next time. They have plenty of options, such as rice and snacks. It's a good place for a quick eat. The flavor is a bit bland for my liking, but I'd still go for a quick bite.

    Ordering is the most confusing way, online. I guess I am too old. But the food is phenomenal. I have had oxtail, fish and normal pho here. Each time the bowl was more than ample. Each time I was pleased. The oxtail pho was messy, but if the chopsticks didn't pull the meat off the bone my fingers helped to hold the bone while I chewed.

    I don't think ordering from a tablet makes sense when there are over 100 items on the menu. It ended up feeling a little overwhelming and confusing, and it took us a while to find everything we wanted to order. Honestly, it would have been much faster if someone just took our order. The pho was good but not great. The broth lacked depth and that bold beef flavor I was hoping for. That said, the beef bones had a lot of meat on them and were nice and tender. The avocado and shrimp spring roll was pretty pricey, but it tasted super fresh. The sauce was a bit lacking in flavor, but after dressing it up with the condiments on the table, it definitely tasted better.

    Perfect spot if you only want small plates and boba! Love the ambience and service they give every time. We're definitely coming back!

    Viet corn dog hot Cheeto dusted!

    Walking self seating was easy peezy, ordering was even easier, you have the opportunity to order and from a tablet on the spot! Now the food was amazing and from the pho to the amazing hot Cheeto Vietnamese corn dog!!!! The ultimate must try is the Bbq pork sandwich!

    Bbq pork bahn mi with an egg, fries and the chicken vermicelli bowl

    First time coming here and we had a very lovely experience. The staff was welcoming and friendly, the place was clean and the food was delicious. We ordered a bahn mi, fries and a vermicelli bowl. The portions were huge! Which isn't very common thing to see these days with shrinkflation...but not at this establishment. We will definitely be back.

    No waiting time. Food comes quickly. Very efficient. A lot of variety of food! Come check it out.

    Short rib pho
    Jean T.

    Came here for lunch with a friend on a weekend and I thought it was just okay. My friend and I were told that we could sit where ever we want but it was just confusing because we weren't told anything else. We thought that someone was going to come by to give us a menu or something but after 5 minutes passed I finally realized that there's a QR code on the napkin dispenser and that that's how we would order. It's one of those where you pay prior to the food coming out. I got the short rib pho and wanted to try the chicken wings. The wings were pretty good because they were dry fried but I probably would have preferred a different sauce. I got the short rib pho and there was barely any meat on any of them and it was difficult to find somewhere to put the bones after I was done with them. ~~Parking: It's located in the large Almaden plaza with the Bass Pro Shops so there's plenty of parking if you don't mind walking a bit. ~~Service: Could be better. This was probably the worst part and not in the typical rude sense. But it was just because my friend and I were forgotten. We didn't even get water's brought to our table, we had to go and grab them ourselves. Given it was a Saturday at 12:30 pm but it's not like they were overwhelmed and that we were out of sight. ~~Worst Part: Service. ~~Return: No.

My wife and I tried it for the first time, and you can tell right away this place has been around and knows what it's doing. Simple setup; steady crowd even on a Sunday night; always a good sign. I ordered the large chicken pho, and my wife had the chicken fried rice, which she really enjoyed. The pho was excellent; rich, flavorful broth; great noodles; and a portion size that humbled me. I couldn't quite finish it, which doesn't happen often. Only minor note; I would've liked a few more vegetables, but I'm sure they would've brought more if I asked. Service is quick and efficient. Like many traditional pho spots, you eat first, then go up to the register and tell them your table number to pay; seasoned move is to remember your number and handle it like a regular. Five stars from me. I'll definitely be back; next time I've got my eye on the brisket. Honestly, it's tough to find really good pho in this part of San Jose without heading up to North San Jose or Milpitas, but if you're in the Cambrian area, this might be your spot.
