    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!

    #47 Grilled Shrimp, Pork & Eggroll with Vermicelli & Salad
    Maria L.

    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.

    Vermicelli with pork, shrimp, and egg rolls
    Eric I.

    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.

    Vegetables that comes with the noodle soup BUN RIEU
    Dianna W.

    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 !

    Com Bo Luc Lac w/ brown sauce and green onion soup
    Kat T.

    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!

    We enjoyed our meal here! The vermicelli was solid -- the egg rolls were crispy and filled. The shrimp was grilled well. 8/10 The pho was also pretty tasty , the broth was hearty and there was enough protein. Parking was a bit tough to find in the lot.

    Bun Bo Hue with a ton of meat and pork blood
    AiFen S.

    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.

    Seafood pho
    Shirley L.

    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.

    Cynthia W.

    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.

    Its my favorite spot and I had such fond memories going here for phở and bánh kẹp lá dứa as a child. I tried something different this time and I think it is very quality. Its just like homemade. 10/10!

    Bun Bi
    Lydia C.

    Food: The best Vietnamese place around the area. I've been here more than 3 times and will definitely come back for more! The Bun is very filling as the restaurant is very generous with the toppings. Service: regular viet place standard; pay at the cashier! Ambiance: Casual and homey

    Combo Vermicelli #47 $16 as of Jan 2025 (lots of veggies underneath) - hella good tbh best vermicelli I've had in South Bay
    Kristina P.

    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!

    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.

The beef are raw, you will cook them in the broth. Wrap your own spring roll with the wrappers, veggies provided along with the beef that you cooked in the broth. They do refill veggies and wrappers as needed. Third, came the steamed beef patty, beef wrapped in lot leaf, beef roll with onions and lemongrass, grilled beef sausage. You can eat these as is or wrap them into spring rolls. Lastly, came the beef porridge. In my opinion, the beef porridge was the star of the night. Flavor was on point, ginger was not overpowering. It was really good. It was such a great experience but got a bit messy from wrapping my own spring rolls lol. Our servers were attentive and friendly. Ambiance was nice. A good place for family having lunch/dinner. Place was clean. Located in a busy plaza with lots of other restaurants, Grocery Outlet and other businesses.
