I LOVE pho so I was so excited to come to Pho Nhat Minh after checking out the great reviews. My sister and I had breakfast here and there were already so many regulars there! We got the Pho Nhat Minh. Pho Nhat Minh - My sister and I shared this pho since I wanted to just eat the brisket and steak, but she wanted everything else in it. The soup was amazing, probably one of the best broths that I have had. The noodles were perfectly cooked and meat was perfect too. So umami Overall, I would definitely come here again! My go to pho in the Bay Area! read more

Was visiting from out of town and wanted pho, which brought me to Pho Nhat Minh. Definitely good and taste just like how I would get if i was back in LA. They did charge me a little extra for the onion and oil but it's alright. We can a little after lunch, so the place was pretty empty. Overall, i would come back if i'm lookin for pho in san jose. read more

Pretty much your standard Pho place in SF. Nothing memorable but if you're craving Pho, this is a decent place with plenty of parking outside after 1pm on work days. If you pay cash, you get 3% of which means a $67 order for 2 will cost $65. The Bun Bo Hue was good but broth was flavored enough for me. The pork blood was perfect though. Inside, the vibe is slightly bright but not eyes blinking bright. Service is fast and reasonable. The Wagyu Beef Pho was decent (see photo); and the Cha Ghiao (egg rolls) were good but not memorable. The herbs were fresh but didn't have strong flavors. Would come here again. read more

The free drink sign caught my attention. Once inside, the Wagyu Pho did too. Wagyu Pho was a deconstructed version where everything came out separate. It came with a bubbling broth in a stone/ceramic pot. The heat didnt last too long though so it took a while to cook the wagyu afterwards. I recommend adding the entire wagyu in the pot in the beginning and let it cook. The Bun Bo Hue was good but nothing spectacular either. Im glad I tried it but this wouldn't be my first choice for pho. read more

So good! We ordered one number 1, two number 24, and one 01F; Pho Nhat Minh, Bun Bo Hue, Tapioca and Shrimp Dumplings. The noodle broths were perfect as is. I might even say the best pho and bun bo hue broth I have tasted! Service was quick. We went on a Saturday morning, around 11am, just before they got busier. I would definitely go back! There was a sign at the register that said cash only, but apparently they accept all major credit cards. read more

Had a great experience here with my friends. We got the #1 and their specialty (wagyu hotpot) -- soup was fragrant, flavorful, and sweet + the meat quality is fantastic. Really liked the service too; they made sure everything met our expectations! read more

Previously I used to rave about this place. I thought their Bun Bo Hue was top tier and I really enjoyed their pho brother. However, I went twice recently and it seems like they might have changed their broth for both their Bun Bo Hue and their pho. It does not have the same flavor depth as before. I really hope they were just having an off month because I had really enjoyed this place previously. Putting it at probably one of the top five pho places in the area. However, with the recent visits, I am very disappointed with how the food quality has gone down. read more

Came here on a chilly Saturday afternoon looking for a nice bowl of pho to warm me up. There were plenty of seats and we were seated right away and ordered. I got the #1 Pho Nhat Minh as it had the most different kinds of meat. They only offer one size. The pho was delicious! I'll describe the broth as not too light but not too strong. Good portion of each cut of meat and the noodle texture were also good. I also loved how much green onion they put in. read more

Pho Nhat Minh - #1 - Vietnamese Near Me - San Jose, California

Wow wow so so good!!!! I got the wagyu pho which is served with a bubbling pot of broth with meat and noodles on the side. Adding the wagyu definitely elevates the broth and gives it even more beefiness and richness. I loveeee that the broth stayed hot through the whole meal. One of the best pho I've had but also the most expensive I've paid for. The free thai tea with the meal made it seem even more worth it though (free drink lunch special). Service was standard and food came out fairly quickly. Place itself is casual with plenty of seating. Overall, great spot and I want to be back soon! read more

Pho Nhat Minh is located in San Jose's Little Saigon Century Mall plaza, on the far right side near McLaughlin Ave. The restaurant is roomy and tidy. I liked the wide wooden tables and the choice between booths and standalone tables. The food was delicious! * Spring Rolls: thick and chunky. I really enjoyed the peanut hoisin dipping sauce. It was served warm, and it brought back nostalgic feelings of how my parents used to prepare it. It's one of the few places I know that does this. * Eggrolls: not the best I've had, but I enjoyed the filling. It contains mushrooms, vermicelli, taro?, and a pork/shrimp mix. It had a stronger shrimp flavor but was subtle overall. * Pho: the broth was good, with plentiful protein and all the necessary herbs. * Bun Bo Hue: delicious! The broth was flavorful and not too heavy. I ordered the oxtail version. Was it worth it? Probably not. I'd stick with the regular, as the oxtail was lackluster and mostly bone. I appreciated the sautéed lemongrass chili provided at the table. All condiments were readily available, which was nice. Overall, a solid Vietnamese restaurant to grab pho or bun bo hue! Highly recommend the spring rolls, as the dipping sauce was spectacular. read more

Was in the area and wanted to give this place a try. Was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and service. I went with a friend and we both ordered the Pho Nhat Minh. The broth is super flavorful and the meat is really tender. The staff is also very kind and attentive. Definitely give it a try if you're in the area. read more

Enjoyed our dinner of waygu beef pho here. Service was prompt and space is spacious. They had a deal for free thai tea or viet coffee so took those to go. The thai tea was good but the viet coffee was sol sweet and mocha-y for me. The boiling pho came out and ur suppose to put all ur beef in it first so it cooks before it stops boiling. U need to be careful to wait for it to cool down bc i burned my tongue. I enjoyed the pho and beef and the boiling pot experience! Also ordered egg rolls and they were fresh and crispy. Would come back if i was craving this! read more

There are so many phở restaurants in San Jose that it's hard to keep track of. This one came on my radar because it appeared in a search for the American Airlines Dining Rewards Program, allowing me to net 5x airline miles per dollar in addition to my usual credit card earnings. It's a small, unassuming shop with minimal service. That is to say, they take your order and then bring your food. They don't check on you but will come if you flag them down. That's par for the course at a typical Vietnamese restaurant so I'm not dinging them for it. The first thing that struck me when looking at the menu was the higher cost of a bowl of phở. Maybe my sense of things is off. I still remember a bowl of phở being sub-$10 as a kid. But these days, I think you can find a bowl of phở for around $15 or thereabouts. Here, it's $18-$20, depending on your cuts of meat. And to be fair, they do offer some special cuts beyond the standard "phở đặc biệt" cuts. I was committed to earning my airline miles though, so I ordered an $18 bowl of phở. Despite the sticker shock, I was pleasantly surprised. The broth was good and the meat was good. Overall, I felt the food was quality and the higher prices manageable if a meal hear helps me get closer to my next free flight. read more

The customer service was very fast, and the server was extremely responsive all while being so kind! The restaurant was very clean! The food was the BEST broth I've had this far! Absolutely amazing! Great prices as well! They even offer a hot pot option with wagyu! read more

Solid spot for pho, especially considering it's the only pho restaurant in this plaza, so not much competition. Their wagyu pho is one of their specialties, so I ordered that. It holds its heat well throughout the meal, so no need to worry about it being cool down mid way. They had free drinks for promo, so you can choose either a soda, Thai tea, or iced coffee. I also ordered their rare steak/meatball pho and their own version of pho (pho nhat minh). Both were good as well. They had a fair amount of customers inside when I went for lunch. I will say that their service can be a bit slow with delivering the drinks. read more

Wagyu beef stone hot pot #2 ($21.99)! Say no more! This caught my eye as broth comes out in a sizzling HOTTTT stone pot, bowl of noodles (fresh or regular thin noodles), a plate of slice wagyu and dish of fresh basil, beansprouts, jalapenos, and lemon. I also like how they don't charge you more for fresh noodles as I know some other pho places do. The plate had a generous amounts of wagyu and it was fun to dip it in the mouth watering sizzling pot. You do have to dip it right away so it can cook or else the pot will cool down and you'll just end up with slightly chewy raw meat. I ended up slurping the broth! It was that tasty! We also ordered #1 ($18.49), which was the Pho Nhat Minh that had a little bit of everything in it. The bowl was filled to the top with different slices of meats, and broth was delicious. They have a promotion now for a free drink: coffee, thai tea, or soda. This was good because after sweating trying to eat my pho, I needed a cool me down. We got the thai tea and it was refreshing and not too sweet! The restaurant is very clean inside. I like how the chopsticks have a wrapper and the service was great. They only serve pho or bun bo hue soups, and appetizers which we will most definitely come back to try! read more

Came by for dinner the other night and it was a quick and easy experience. Parking was plentiful in the private lot although there were derelicts hanging out in the strip mall. The Gen Z front of the house staff wore an apron and loose nitrile gloves. Ordered the bun bo hue with Oxtail and it came out within minutes. Interestingly, the restaurant was quite warm as the A/C wasn't turned on and the doors were closed. The bun Bo Hue itself was a big bowl of soup with some noodles, a couple pieces of pretty hard to chew oxtails, along with a few pieces each of meat loaf, pork, and tendons. The restaurant is offering a grand opening special with a free Thai tea, free iced coffee or free soda. They do offer a 3.8% discount for paying in cash $25/head after tax and gratuity for dinner Updating to 3 stars as I was super thristy that night after having this...maybe due to msg? read more

I was recommended this restaurant by a colleague so my wife and went and I cannot say enough good things about this place! This was literally the SINGLE BEST PHO. I have ever had! No joke. The broth is rich and flavourful! The portions are large and fresh. Service was fantastic and fast. I would be there way more often if I didn't live in Santa Cruz, but it's so worth the drive. You will not be disappointed! read more

Pho Nhat Minh - Very good food. Their Wagyu is the BEST. Very clean restaurant and ambiance is very nice. We love coming back here. - Vietnamese Near Me - San Jose, California

Deconstructed pho?! My initial thought was that $21 for wagyu and soup in a stone pot is too much however, the portion was great, the broth taste almost like how my mom makes it, and both their fresh noodles and regular noodles were good quality. My mom got #18, they have really good portions for the price and we loved the chewiness of the al dente rice noodle. There was no wait when I got there and the service was normal. I used to go to the pho restaurant (Pho Ha) before it changed to Pho Nhat Minh and they renovated it very nicely! The space is perfect for small and big parties. read more

Pho Nhat Minh is right in Vietnam Town with plenty of parking, which is super convenient. The place is really clean, bright, and nicely set up--they've got good vibes and even their utensils and table setup feel thoughtful. The staff were all super friendly and helpful, which made the whole experience even better. I tried the Wagyu pho and it was so good. The beef was super tender, melt-in-your-mouth kind of quality with that rich flavor you only get from high-grade meat. The broth was flavorful and comforting, and they present everything separately--beef, noodles, and the hot stone bowl--so you can build it just the way you like it. There's a great variety of sauces too, including chili oil that really hits the spot. Also had the Bun Bo Hue and wow--it was packed with flavor. The sausage and beef were delicious, and even the tendon had that perfect texture. It felt super authentic and like real home-style cooking but elevated. Definitely a place I'll be coming back to. read more

This spots pretty good. Kinda left out since it's right next to the new little Saigon Plaza. Nice and clean inside, brightly lit. No over loud viet music blasting. Not sure if it's because it's new or they keep it nice and clean but I like it. Tried the number 1, their wagyu pho, pho ga (chicken), and the regular spring rolls. #1 was really good. Decent amount of meat and a big chunk of tendon. The wagyu one I'm unsure, since it wasn't my dish. So they could've left the meat in too long but it tasted just the same as regular rare steak. It does come with a boil stone bowl and a plate of the meat in the side for you to add. Maybe if it was don't like shabu shabu and swished for a few secs it'd taste better. But it does seem like you are suppose to just dump everything into the soup and eat. Pho ga I didn't try but people I was with had no complaints. Rolls were good, can't really mess those up too badly. Would definitely want to try their other stuff next time. read more

A clean and fragrant broth before I doused it w/ Sriracha. A generous amount of herbs given that I had the joy to add to my bowl. I recently started eating the herbs... before it was just whatever that's in the bowl w/ Sriracha. This place took over Pho Ha inside the Grand Century Mall but on the McLaughlin side. A clean and inviting restaurant, service was quick and warm, and my pho was delicious. The meats were tender and I loved the scallions were cut and scattered the top. I would definitely return. I go early and on a weekday, so parking was not an issue. read more

Imma say Pho Nhat Minh is a hole in the wall gem! And I mean that in the best way. This place is all about the pho--no flashy appetizers or rice plates, just rich, flavorful, deeply satisfying pho. They do have a few smoothies, though, and I really enjoyed the avocado one. That was a nice surprise--definitely not a flavor you see every day. I had the filet mignon pho, and the broth was incredible. I drank the entire bowl. As any true pho fan knows, it's all about the broth, and this one delivered. Someone else in our group ordered the Wagyu beef pho, which was a showstopper. It comes in a hot pot-style bowl with thin slices of raw Wagyu served on the side. You dip and cook the beef and noodles yourself--kind of like a fusion of pho and Japanese/Chinese hot pot. Super creative, and more importantly, insanely tasty. It's the only one that comes in the style. Service is good, they're attentive anyway. Though it took a long time to get my smoothie, even after the pho arrived! And it's a hole in the wall, divey place. And you know, sometimes those are the best. But if you've got a craving for pho, Pho Nhat Minh is a must-try. read more

Favorite pho spot!!!! Located next to the Grand Century plaza so it's a bit less crowded. Parking isn't too bad usually. Decent amount of seating inside, never really had to wait for a table. Staff are always super friendly and attentive. The wagyu beef pho is SO GOOD. The beef comes thinly sliced on the side, super tender and soup comes served boiling. I find that the soup tastes more clean than typical pho broth as well. The best mix of hot pot and pho- my two faves!! The thick noodles are also so good, so silky. The only thing I get there!! read more

We were hanging out nearby at Emma Prusch Farm Park and decided to check this spot out for dinner. We ordered the Wagyu pho, chicken pho, spring rolls (not pictured) and egg rolls. The young man who took our order gave us an option of thick or regular pho noodles and we each got a free drink (coffee, Thai tea or soda) for dining in. I was able to get 3 coffees to go. I really enjoyed my Wagyu pho. I was able to share this with my eldest daughter. The pho ga was also shared between my 2 other kids. It was more than enough for them. I really liked this place and I shall be back. read more

**Food:** The regular pho broth is beautifully balanced--clean, light, refreshing, yet packed with flavor. The Wagyu broth, on the other hand, is a real treat--richer, fattier, and darker, with a depth that suggests extra marrow and bone essence. Love that they serve culantro and steamed bean sprouts. Most places do not have culantro. I do wish they offered pickled garlic and pickled hot chili peppers to elevate the experience even further. Bonus points for providing real sriracha and a solid chili oil! **Service:** Incredibly friendly and courteous staff--everyone was warm and welcoming, making the experience even better. I have never been thanked so much as a customer lol **Atmosphere:** A modern, spotless space with a clean aesthetic. The ceramic bowls and dip dishes add a nice touch. They didn't spare any expense here. Huge thanks for the free Thai tea and the 10% off grand opening deal--definitely a great way to start things off! Would absolutely come back! read more

Super friendly service as soon as you walk into the restaurant, it's not big & it's not small, but it's enough to fit whatever amount of people you go in with. Located in shopping plaza, so there is plenty of parking. WHY!!! have I not been to this place ‍ OMG kinda disappointed that it's literally in my hood, I've been to so many other restaurants in the same place and not here ‍but I'm glad I finally tried it my favorite part is the broth Stays Hot, the entire time your eating wagu meat is fresh fresh & they are not stingy with the portions, even the vegys they serve on the side. All 4 of us ordered the same thing, because this is what, they are know for & we are super happy, we did. The broth was also very tasty, egg rolls & spring rolls are fresh & yummy. We for sure found our New Pho Spot & can't wait to visit & try the other dishes on the menu. I will be sure to invite my family & friends to this place. Another plus for visiting, is all our drinks were FREE! winner winner read more

Hands down the best BEEF pho in town. The seafood and chicken pho are still solid options if you are in the mood for something different. Their goi cuon is unique, because instead of mint, they use Thai basil (which I personally a huge fan of) and their peanuts sauce is BOMBBBBB! You can see I took a bite out of it before taking a photo because I couldn't wait lol As much as I want to write a whole novel for my love for this spot, I'd recommend just giving them a shot.

Excellent pho broth. We ordered the #1 and #2. And yes it does have the secret ingredient. Pho is not be the same without it. Meats are fresh and vegetables are also very fresh. All the right ingredients are there for the special. So why only 4 stars? They have the AC up too low and we were sweating bullets after eating pho. No matter how good the food I I cannot return if they don't rectify the AC situation. Can't eat pho if it's hot. This isn't Vietnam! read more

This is now my new favorite place for pho because of the Wagyu beef and I definitely think paying $22 for it is well worth it! It's not the best Wagyu IMO but way tastier than the standard eye of round. Service was a little slow our first visit here but was faster the second time we went. I love that they have tripe and fresh noodles. My husband is sorta on a keto diet so he got the beef rib and beef oxtail with the pho broth-- he enjoyed the rib but will skip the oxtail next time. They have a promotion going on right now where you get to pick a free Thai iced tea, coffee, or soda. I personally think the lighting is a bit too bright for me but that's just me. read more

We initially went somewhere else first but didn't like the options on the menu so we looked elsewhere to try to find something we might like more and came across pho Nhat Minh. Their menu is pretty small and I was a little upset that there wasn't any vermicelli because that's what I wanted but I ended up ordering the beef rib pho. I was surprised that it wasn't more expensive. The broth is so good and I like that they put a lot of green onion to add more flavor. The meat was so tender and they give you scissors to make getting the meat easier. This is probably some of the best pho I've ever had. Service is also very friendly. Nice and clean restaurant with lots of seating. Highly recommend read more

Came here because I was interested in this stone pot pho dish. The shop was empty on a Friday evening and there was plenty of parking at the time. There were maybe 4 parties throughout our time there. Since we came for just their, what I assumed to be their signature dish, we ordered immediately. It took unusually long to make given the shop was relatively not busy. Once it came out, it came out in parts. Like broth but no noodles or beef. The broth was super hot due to heating the stone pot for dipping the wagyu beef. Though I don't really know if there's any value doing that. I ended up just tossing everything in and eating like a regular pho bowl. Restaurant otherwise was a typical Vietnamese pho shop. Lines of table on the side and middle with slightly dated furniture. Overall, dish was decent and an interesting experience to try once. I don't know if I'd try it again though. read more
