This Saturday, I went with my boyfriend to eat rice plates and they hit the spot. Plenty of nuoc mam, pickled vegetables and a good ratio of meat to rice. The eggrolls were perfectly crispy and well filled and the pork chops were nice and tender. For 18.50, it was a fair price for how filling it was. We were starving and we still came home with leftovers! Also, I left my jacket here and they were waiting for me to come back to it which was sweet of them. read more

Ordered take out from here. Super reasonable priced for the huge portions. My only complaint is the way they package the food. Im use to the food being in a container where you can pour the soup into to eat but here you will most likely need a to use a bowl from home to transfer the food to to eat. The bun rieu was really good. You dont see that at restaurants a lot in NY. Everyone enjoyed their food and we will definitely be going back read more

I came here for the bún riêu, and it did not disappoint. The rice vermicelli noodle soup was filled with crab, pork blood, Vietnamese ham, shrimp, and tofu in a tomato based broth that was savory and well-balanced. The flavors all came together well and nothing tasted fishy or overpowered by the tomatoes. I also ordered spring rolls, and loved how bouncy and fresh the rice wrapper was. It had that just-made texture that makes a big difference. Service was friendly and there is plenty of parking. Overall solid spot if you want to try something different! read more

Came for hot noodle soup during a cold day. One of my favorites is their #32 My Tho Seafood and Pork Noodles. The broth is delicious. The seafood and ground pork go well together. Everything is delicious and I like changing my noodles to clear noodles. My friend got the House Special Beef noodle soup and she told me it's good.. The spring rolls are fresh and I like it that they give you separate little containers for sauce for each of us. The side of egg cake is tasty too. This place is clean with simple decor. Service is decent and food come out fast. The guy who works at the cashier is very friendly and nice. If you come during peak lunch hour, parking can be crazy and a bit challenging. It shares the same complex and Grocery Outlet and a few other restaurants. You may have to park further away in the parking lot and walk to the restaurant. read more

This is one of the Vietnamese restaurants that serve Bun Rieu and they made a good tasty one . Bun Rieu is a noodle soup in Tomato base broth with crab and shrimp paste . It also has pork blood ( optional) , slice of pork ham , pork meatballs, prawn , tofu , fresh tomatoes, etc . The shedded cabbage and bean sprouts are on the side for you to add to the boiling hot soup . Pho Nguyen made their Bun Rieu so tasty and the broth are rich in flavors. The size is enormous. I could only finish half and take half home . The crab and shrimp paste ( with eggs scrambled) are so delicious and they gave me three big chunks of it ! I tried other dishes like grilled steak and tomato rice , lemon grass pork chop , crispy spring rolls, beef pho , etc . They are all delicious Not too many places know how to make the authentic Bun Rieu . I love to come here and order the same dish over and over again ! read more

Came here for lunch last Wednesday a little after noon. They're quite busy but we didn't have to wait for a table. Service was friendly and the food came out fast and hot. I was craving for bun rieu and saw a couple of reviews claiming that Pho Nguyen had the best in the Bay Area. While I wouldn't say they're the best, their broth was indeed very flavorful with a strong tomato taste. Not sure if they used MSG, though. The accompanying plate of herbs, bean sprouts, cabbage was fresh. My husband enjoyed his grilled shrimp, pork and eggroll vermicelli as well. Portions were huge and we both left stuffed. read more

Pho Nguyen - #47 Grilled Shrimp, Pork & Eggroll with Vermicelli & Salad - Vietnamese Near Me - Milpitas, California

See all

Had my standard dish that I order at Vietnamese restaurants: vermicelli with pork and shrimp and eggrolls. Really big serving here and there were generous amounts of the proteins and egg rolls. Plenty of fish sauce provided too and it came quickly. Service was efficient and it was a pretty typical setting - no frills but just fine. As far as taste, I'd give it a 4/5 - good, but not quite as tasty as the best I've had. But because the portions were so generous, I'm still comfortable giving it a full five stars. read more

Pho Nguyen - Vermicelli with pork, shrimp, and egg rolls - Vietnamese Near Me - Milpitas, California

By far my favorite spot for com bo luc lac (shaken beef and rice) now!! The staff were very welcoming to us, including my small dog. It feels like your usual mom and pop viet restaurant with the casual decor and loud convos. FOOD: *Com bo luc lac: The meat was so fresh!!! None of that extra starch slurry or baking soda wash. They cook it so well that each cube is tender, medium rare-medium perfection. Can be eaten with or w/o the sauce on the side because it's that good! Honestly the only critique I have is that the edges of the rice dome or on the drier side, but it's fine if you add a spoonful of the green onion side soup! I appreciate how they chopped the lettuce into smaller pieces so it doesn't go to waste as a plating veggie. Also, it wasn't oily yay!! All of the vegetables were standard, but my other big takeaway? Portion size is amazing! Wait time for our 3 dishes and coffee was 15-20min and the place was busy! Def coming back here for weekend brunch again :) Random side note, but their tea (served in coffee to-go cups) is pretty good too. PARKING: Not hard to find parking if you go towards the jang su jang/goodwill side of the plaza. We went during weekend lunch hour and the Paris baguette side was packed! read more

When the weather is cold and my coworkers want pho, we like ordering from here as their fresh noodles and broth appease most of us. I have tried their bun bo hue as well which fulfills the craving when I'm feeling under the weather. I have also enjoyed their vermicelli salad bowls before. I recently tried their shrimp tempura, and that is now my new favorite dish to get as it is fried so well. The fish sauce dip complements it well, and if I heat up my own rice I have a fulfilling meal. read more

Was going from the peninsula to south bay and stop by one of our favorite Vietnamese restaurant for lunch. We parked and as we walked to the restaurant, there was another couple mentioning their closed. As we approached the front door there was a sign. Today,Sunday, is a regularly open day. The sign states we won't be open today but will reopen tomorrow. Sorry for the inconvenience. Yeah, so much for wanting to eat here.i guess everyone should call ahead to make sure they are open. read more

Prices were reasonable and portions were generous but the food was not very good. The pros besides value include convenient location, lots of options on the menu, and space / no wait unlike the ramen place nearby. The main con was that the food didn't taste great ie the pork was dry. read more

I was feeling sick and ordered Pho Ga Trang (chicken breast) and Bun Rieu here Togo. Pho Ga broth was clean, honestly does not need hoisin sauce or sriracha. Appreciate that they gave me all the veggies to put in my pho. Also fresh veggies too! For the Bun Rieu, it tastes excellent. They gave me so much extra stuff, including extra soup at no extra cost! Gave a ton of protein and noodles as well. Portions are huge, sides are generous. Told my sister about this place and she loved it as well. This will be my go-to pho spot for sure. I will be back! read more

Food was great. I was starving so I got the rice plate with everything on it lol. The pork was tender and nicely flavored. Shredded pork was a bit too dry. Service: quick fast-paced place. Typical pho place. Ambiance: lots of tables inside. Parking can be difficult given there are multiple popular restaurants in the plaza. read more

I've brought all my friends here and everyone agrees, it's just that good. AND the portions are big. read more

I've frequented this Viet restaurant for several years now and have finally decided to write a review. The owners are very friendly and service oriented. Yes, they do speak English and this location is one that is a favorite and nearby in Milpitas. I've never had a complaint about either the food or the service! read more

Good portion, fresh ingredients, fast service. The flavor is right on. This restaurant has a higher cleanliness standard than many other Pho places in the San Jose Bay Area. Occasionally they mixed up your to-go order. A good family-style Vienamese restaurant. read more

It is a tasty Vietnamese food. The one who can speak English is kind of hard to deal with.

My family have been coming here for years. I'm sure the workers seen my brother and I grow up LOL. The pho and noodle soups are always very good; the broth isn't oily like most places, but I still get a side of nuoc beo for flavor. There's a lot of variety on the menu so you're bound to find something you'll like. It's a cute small mom and pop family owned restaurant and I love coming back for their food. Everything I've tried here tastes bombb, pho is gas, bun bo hue here is yummy, com tam and the vermicelli are always packed with flavor. And for dessert you could finish it off with a green waffle. read more

My coworkers and I had a great time stopping by here. It was not too crowded and the food arrived quickly. It was also very clean inside and the tables were spaced optimally - often times, tables in other restaurants are too close for comfort. I ordered the Number 1, Pho Nguyen Dac Biet. The small bowl was more than enough for me. I would have liked more balance between the beef and the noodles. The broth was tastier than what I've had for other beef pho at other restaurants in the area, and there was an ample amount of side veggies. The food was good for its reasonable price. This is definitely one of the better pho restaurants I've been to around here. read more

This place deserves way more than a 3.7 star rating on Yelp, imo. It's some of the best Vietnamese food in Milpitas and arguably in the surrounding area. I grew up with a Vietnamese heritage and it's hard to find a place that has good quality to portion to price and tastes authentic. It's also consistent. I usually order pick up and it's fast. My usual go to's are the egg rolls, spring rolls, white meat chicken pho and I get fresh rice noodles when I'm feeling sick (easily 2 meals), or combo vermicelli. The beef pho is also good and usually recommend eating in store for that. Not many places have good chicken pho and it's usually hard to decide what to order since everything is bomb! The portions and packaging including the veggie sides are well packaged and they give a lot compared to other Vietnamese spots (ex: Tay Ho in Santa Clara portions are terrible and similar price). Most of the entrees I feel like could be 2 meals even the vermicelli I have a hard time eating it all one sitting (at least when I get orders to go). Staff are also nice when entering and picking food up. My main wish is they could be open later and have a day off other than Tuesday! read more

I haven't been in this location for a few years, but this is a good place to stop by and get Pho especially during lunch since their service is really fast. I am quite surprised about it because I thought they would take longer to prepare my food. I wanted to eat one of their rice plates, but I haven't had Pho for a while. I grew up eating rice anyways haha. Pho is really good, but I put all jalapeños inside it and it was very spicy. Also appreciate the staff for cleaning up the tables after people left the tables. Will come back this time for rice plates! read more

Came for lunch on a Friday afternoon. It was a full restaurant since it was lunch time but cleared up over time. Spacious spot! Convenient parking since it's located in a plaza. My boyfriend's been coming here for years and has been wanting to bring me to try. I ordered a large #5 pho (rare steak, flank, tripe) and I added beef balls. Great deal to be able to add beef balls for only $2 (versus having to pay $4 for a side of it). My bowl came out hot and that's how I like it! Broth still stayed hot after I added the bean sprouts and veggies. Tasted flavorful and clean, not on the sweet nor salty side. I like the variety of hot sauces they have on the side. Chili oil was good! My boyfriend enjoyed his wonton egg noodle soup - comes with meat slices, shrimp, and of course, the wontons. To my surprise, it even comes with a plate of veggies. It was a hefty bowl! Big portion, generous on the meat. I was stuffed! Pay at the front once you're done. Good service and food came out in a timely manner! I'd want to try their bun bo hue next time. read more

This place satisfies all the cravings, they have it all: broken rice, salads, and pho. Chicken Wings - This was crunchy and savory, perfect appetizer Bun Tom Thit Nuong Cha Gio - It's looks like a mountain of food when it comes but it's just salad on the bottom of the bowl! My favorite dish so far it all: Egg rolls, pork, shrimp, vermicelli over a salad and fish sauce Anyways, I definitely recommend y'all stop by and try them out when you're in the area! read more

Review for Bun Rieu: Small size bowl was packed with food! Definitely getting your money's worth. Lots of noodles and seemed to have two pieces of everything and lots of the crab meat mix. The pork bloody was a little game-y tasting compared to elsewhere. Typical Vietnamese restaurant where service isn't necessarily the highlight so don't expect much. Lots of tables and was quick and easy to be seated for a late lunch on a weekday. read more

Love, love, love this place! Everything we've ever had in this place has been tasty. I don't care what everyone else says, but this is the best bun bo hue in the South Bay and I've tried most of them. I keep coming back to this one. The service here is pretty much like your typical Vietnamese eatery. They aren't going to win any service awards, but the food always comes out fast and hot. This mom and pop place knows how to cook. Get the bun Bo hue. You won't be disappointed. read more

In recent years, I've only gotten takeout or delivery from this place, but they are might go to noodle place for pho. Portions are generous the meat and selection is wide. You can get any sort of combination of meat. They also provide some interesting vegetables to add to your soup. I'll definitely be returning here in the future. read more

I have been here many times before. Recently I went back and it is still amazing as ever!!! The food is super delicious and they are well-known for their pork. So I recommend getting pork if you want rice. Personally, it is a must to have fried egg rolls and wrap them in lettuce. It is perfection!! The service is nice and they are very quick. Which is amazing!! It is in a beautiful area but beware people can't drive or park because it is in a plaza. The plaza tends to be difficult to go to the place. Just be careful with the drivers!!! read more

Pho Nguyen - Fried chicken and rice - Vietnamese Near Me - Milpitas, California

Pretty much your basic South Bay pho joint. Big menu, bare bones dining area with actually a decent amount of seating, and no frills efficient and fast service (even the older family members over 50 years old can hustle). #asianeats Small Pho w/Rare Steak and Tendons ($15ish/4*) Solid, good broth that has good flavor even before you do anything to it. Lots of noodles so definitely a filling bowl. Tendons a little chewier than I prefer but still quite doable. Requested the steak slices to arrive on the side versus in the hot broth, which proves to be the move. Just wished they had fish sauce tableside that I could chili up to make the bites go boom. Oxtail Pho w/ Minced Steak ($18ish/4*) Massive bowl with serious meat, only high tier carnivores should apply. Lots of oxtails but the thin cut variety. I love oxtails but this was too al dente for me. Oxtails should be much more tender but maybe they do it this way, so it doesn't fall off the bone. There is a skill to that, that requires precise timing. But I had to do some serious biting and pulling here, some pieces were better than others. The minced steak was money and just love how it absorbs into the broth. Fried Rice ($11ish/2.5*) Got this for take-out once to use for work lunches and it was quite underwhelming. No wok hei or wok flavor and no chunks to make it pop. Sure there were chunks of chicken but it raised no brows. I think I've had better fried rices from steam table Chinese restos. Preserved Lemon w/ Club Soda ($5/4*) Solid drink that I'm pulled to get with a serious bowl of pho on a warmer day. It's literally 2 drinks as they give you a whole can of club soda and only half a can fits in the cup at a time. Just make sure you stir that drink aggressively each time you add the soda to pick up all the undiluted lemony goods on the bottom of the cup. Viet Iced Coffee ($5/4*) Solid on par with any pho joint in the 408. So nothing to rave about, just a standard yet decent bowl of pho. But it is repeatable if in this corner and for a pho joint I suppose they did their job. Props. read more

We go here so often because it's close to home and their portions are generous especially the meat. This place is a no BS spot that does dac biet well.

Nothing special, but reminds you of childhood. read more
