Yes pricing is right. Got a sandwich for $5 and vietnamese rolls for $4.50 for 2. The bread to sandwich was soft. Hugh bun. American misconception. Bun too big or filling too little. The rolls were made small. Small appetite person would be perfect not too much vinegar veggies. Feel like the theme "not too much". Everything was tasty. read more

The best places I've ever tried for pho have been small mom and pops places. This is one of them. I ordered my favorite; beef ball, tendon and brisket pho and my guest ordered a pork and shrimp bun. This is a relatively small place so seating is limited. It's not decorated nicely, nor does it have any updated tables or seating; but boy do the people here love you. The soup itself - the broth - is probably one of my favorite in the Bay Area. They have undeniably strong flavor and you can taste the love coming from their cooking. I think it's just the right amount of meat to soul ratio, and even the small is just right for anyone. The price is competitive, and they don't overcharge. Overall, one of my favorite pho places in the South Bay! read more

The service was excellent. The atmosphere was homey and cozy. The food was great and came out piping hot! My only critique is that the broth was on the salty side, in which I needed more lime to offset that. And, there wasn't enough onions and cilantro in the pho ga. Other than that, it was a wonderful experience! read more

Pho Long Thinh - Large brisket and steak Pho with size of 2 pc fried spring rolls - Vietnamese Near Me - San Jose, California

Drop by and decided to try it. Its in like a old plaza. I orded Pho Tai with nuoc beo and of course wen i get home its missing. I even specifically asked the lady before i got up and asked if it was in there and she said yes. I really need to check my orders before i leave. Its so frustrating when i get food and its missing items that ive asked for and it will make their dish not as good. I also ordered Com with New york steak and in the picture theres soup of course they r missing soup. And I asked for RARE of course they dont do it like that. Please check ur food before u leave or u will go home unhappy like me. read more

We love this place. This is our favorite pho place in West San Jose. Our favorites are Beef/Chicken Pho, Spring Rolls, and Vermicelli with pork and egg rolls. The service is very consistent and simple yet kind. read more

So I been wanting to try this spot for some time now and finally stopped in today but grabbed it to go! I ordered the #15 combo but swapped the vermicelli out for egg noodles. But before I start this review of the food let me state that the staff was friendly and accommodating. This place although small was full to capacity. It's in a quaint shopping plaza and you could miss it if you blink. Not to mention I was in and out in about 5 minutes. Anyways on to the good stuff. So I got home and put my soup together in a pho bowl I have as everything is separated because who wants mooshy noodles, not me! So the broth was still hot enough to cook the beef flank which was great! So I started digging in and agreed with recent reviews about the soup. The broth was nice as it tasted how you'd expect from a nice pho spot. The noodles were perfectly al dente and it was the perfect portion for a large. I do disagree with other reviews as I got plenty of meat of each of the different ones that come in a combo. The strands of tripe were good and toothy, the fatty brisket was tender and fatty as described but the kicker for me was the tendon. They give you plenty of it and the gelatinous texture has always been my hands down favorite. And it comes with the usual sides that caps off a nice bowl of pho. All in all it was a nice decision for lunch and I definitely will be back again and will recommend to others. BTW I did gaze at other tables and their rice plates look Gucci. Yeah I said Gucci lol! Happy New Years! read more

Really good pho! I got pho ga and the broth was delicious, had good pieces of chicken and a good amount of noodles. Food came out quickly, restaurant was clearly operating well and the staff was nice. Overall would recommend! read more

Ordered the chicken pho here, by FAR one of the best tasting broths I've had in my life!! The flavors are definitely all there. Fantastic!! I ordered for take out but still received great customer service! Arrived and, I believe the owner was on the walking around the dining area attentive to the customers needs. I ordered a small but trust me get something bigger cause you can't get enough! read more

There is a special place in my heart for this restaurant. Very unassuming local and small family owned shop that serves some great dishes. Craved pho so got the pho tai here and loved the broth. The spring rolls were delicious. Would return to try other menu items. All the dishes tasted very homemade like a family member cooked it. read more

If you want to know what pho places looked like back in the 90s you can visit Long Thinh. The decor, tables, and style all have that old school pho restaurant feel. Mirror glass tile to make the restaurant look bigger than it is. Wood paneling as well. The pho matches the vibe too. I got the Dac Biet (#15) and their large is only a dollar more than the regular bowl. One thing that stuck out with the combo is that it also comes with bo vien. Usually bo vien is extra or seperate, but that was a welcome addition to the bowl. Noodles and meats were good. Broth was a little bit light. One other thing they do slightly different is that they give lemon wedges rather than lime. I think lime works better with pho but not a huge difference. Their pricing is also a bit cheaper than most pho places these days. The combination was 14 for regular and 15 for large but their other pho bowls were 12.50 and 13.50. They also accept credit card. read more

Super good pho. The brother looked super light when we got it takeout so we were a little worried. But it was SO flavorful. Definitely stick with the brisket or brisket and steak pho. They have so many toppings it was great. We'll be back! read more

Ordered a BBH and Beef stew pho, it was delightful and just what we needed for the cool weather. The BBH was perfectly done although it lacked some tendons and blood cubes. The beef stew was refreshing and light, not too thick. The service was very nice as well. read more

Got food poisoning ... bad headaches lasting for days!! What made it worse is the fact that the food is horrible. Soup is overpowered by fish sauce and only a trace of the traditional bone broth flavor. Lots of rice noodles, but the meat is ... well take effort to find buried somewhere in the bowl. Asked for extra jalapeno ( for 2 pho orders ) but was only given FOUR slices. Stay away. read more

Been coming here since I was a sophomore/junior in high school! I loved it the first time I went and I'll love it every time. They are very friendly and they give you water when you first come through. It's very casual and I like the environment (when seating was open before 'rona). I come here in sweats, I come here all dressed up, this place is really for everybody. Everything is pretty affordable too. The flavor is always the same, always delicious. Never too salty or too bland, it's always flavorful. My parents love to order from here, especially when they have a cold or a stomach ache because the soup is flavorful but isn't heavy. The noodles are never soggy. The meat is always tender and easy to bite through. Egg rolls are flaky and crunchy and have good flavor. I like to order those on the side. I go to a lot of pho places in the Bay Area, and nothing can beat Long Thinh. I personally crave eating here all the time. Whenever I leave here, my tummy is happy and I'm happy so for anyone reading this, they should come here. read more

Food and service is excellent!! Always a great experience at this place whether it's to go or dining in.

My go-to for pho and bun! The food is ready extremely quick and quality is consistent, everything is tasty, and the prices are on the lower side - and always have been. Recommendations by the owners are always on-point, too! If you want a fancy dining experience, this may not be the place for you, but I've never had a complaint in the many years I've been coming here! read more

Although these fresh spring rolls were smaller than expected, they were still delicious and well worth its price of $3.5. It's peanut dipping sauce did the job, elevating the taste of the dish while still maintaining its freshness. We also got #40, the Bún Bò Chá Giò (Grilled Beef, Fried Eggrolls w/ Vermicelli), and #25, the Bánh Mi BBQ Gà (Grilled Chicken Sandwich). I was impressed with the quality of the food, given its prices, which are lower than many restaurants nearby. The banh mi tasted warm and surprisingly light, and I loved the flavor of the grilled chicken. Tasting the char on the grilled beef only further proved the restaurant's quality in its flavorful dishes. Although the fried eggroll was only okay, the prices of the menu and the appetizing food made the lunch more than well worth it. read more

Very impressed with the quality and taste of the pho and the location. Normally we have to go to Cupertino or San Jose to get good pho. We found this place on our route home on Saratoga. We are here which is not saying a lot as the place is normal and a dive but the food is really good. Had the chicken pho which had white and dark meat in it. Nice taste and fast service. The chicken plate was chicken tighs and was good. We will be back. read more

We were craving for Pho, but on July 4th it seemed no one was open. My sister thought of this place and they were open! We shared a large combo pho, and ordered 2 pieces of fried egg rolls and on Spring roll. Definitely enough for 2 of us, and all were very good. read more

The pho here is simply incredible! This restaurant was almost full at noon on a Saturday, and just a few minutes after ordering our 3 steaming bowls of pho and rice with grilled chicken was delivered to our table. The broth of the steak, meatball pho was phenomenal, and left a very comforting warmness in my mouth that wasn't overloaded with fat. The vermicelli noodles were also cooked well. The grilled chicken had a very delectable savoriness to it, which paired well with the pickled radish and rice. Would highly recommend giving this place a go if you are craving some quality pho quick! read more

Too lazy to cook on a rainy day and craving for Pho. Giving a try at this mama and pops joint in WSJ area. I do agree with some of the reviews on Yelp saying it's a run down 90's place. I ordered a large size of the "bun bo hue", hoping it will have a lot of noodles. Unfortunately, inflation... size of a large is a small/medium. Can't complain because the price is decent, cheaper than ordering a "big Mac value meal". read more

Best Pho in town. Been coming here for 10 years plus. It's nothing fancy, but just done right. For the past 100 bowels of Pho I've had here, every single bowel came with piping hot broth, never disgustingly luke warm. Noddle always perfectly cooked. Not too hard, not too soggy. Ingredient portion is just right. I especially appreciate the clear but flavorful broth. Never too salty, oily, or with brownish meaty taste. This hidden gem is a local neighborhood favorite. Not a lot of fanfare and not much to look at from outside. You'll drive pass it a hundred times and never know it was there, but I love the low key home cooked feel. They've made something difficult look easy. You'll always get what you asked for. No surprises. Thank you. Please don't ever change. read more

In town and went back to our favorite spot. Great to be back after 12 yrs. Caught up with the son and good to hear family is doing well. Food is still delicious the way we remembered. read more

There is a Vietnamese place in Milpitas I frequent (Truong Thanh), and this one. Why? Because Pho Long Thinh's Pho is really tasty and the "small" is plenty large enough for just about anyone, IMHO.  I usually get the Pho Tai Bo (rare steak with meatballs) - my spouse prefers the filet Pho. There isn't a super abundance of meat in it - but it's always fresh (unlike many other places we've been), and the broth is hands down the best anywhere... and trust me, we've tried at least 2 dozen restaurants in the area. Every other Vietnamese place in the area has been a distant 3rd or worse place by comparison. Their Thai Iced tea is not overly sweet or under strong. I.e. it's just right. Bun Thit Nuong here is not as tasty as the other restaurant I mentioned earlier, but as I said, their Pho is REALLY, REALLY good. We've been frequenting them for 5 years now and like the family friendly service, reasonable prices, and most of all, the Pho! Not sure the covid experience would have been survivable without the comforting food from here. Now they are opening back up with limited tables and as before, doing an obvious good job on sanitation and cleanliness. This restaurant is in a strip mall, not especially attractive inside or out, but we go (and take out) for the reasonably priced, tasty food and friendly service. Revised from my original review in 2017 to include Covid related concerns and comparison with even more restaurants we've tried. read more

Our new favorite place for pho. Great service, pho comes out fast and is always delicious and hot. Only suggestion I have is to wrap individual chopsticks and spoons to make sure they are clean and not touched by other customers. read more

I ordered take out from here last week. We ordered the pho tai, egg rolls, and some pork spring rolls. The pho tai soup tasted clean and less oily than some other soups I've tried. The pork spring rolls were not what I expected, I thought it would come with steamed pork, but it was quite different. The egg rolls were pretty good and super crispy. The food was pretty average, but for the price I really can't complain. I was very satisfied with the service. I came by around 6pm on a Wednesday and ordered in person. The food was well packaged and I was ready to leave within 10 minutes. The guy working there was super friendly and helped answer any dietary questions I had. I'd probably come by for take out again. read more
