I came here with my friend this Friday around lunchtime and ordered the Wagyu Pho. The food was delicious, fresh and really flavorful. I especially want to compliment the young man wearing glasses. He was very friendly, welcoming and always smiling. Even though the restaurant was really busy and there were only two employees, he stayed attentive and made sure everyone was taken care of. His positive attitude and great service really stood out and made our experience even better. We'll definitely come back! read more

This is hands down my favorite pho spot! As a Vietnamese, I've been looking for a truly authentic taste of home for so long, and I finally found it here. The flavor is spot-on, just like in Vietnam. What I love even more is that the restaurant is spacious and comfortable, and the restroom is impeccably clean. The staff are incredibly warm, friendly, and always have a smile on their face. I will definitely be coming back! read more

Pho Nhat Minh - 05. Phở Đuôi Bò - Vietnamese Near Me - San Jose, California

This is the best bowl of pho that I've had in awhile. I agree with other reviews that say it's reminiscent of eating pho in Vietnam. The broth in particular is flavorful and light. I recommend getting the fresh wide noodles. They had two high chairs available. I believe they also had booster seats to accommodate more children. I thought the service was friendly and the restaurant was clean and comfortable. read more

Wagyu pho with fresh noodles (wider, softer): 5/10 - Broth is meaty. Wish there were more veg. Pho Nhat Minh with dried noodles (thinner, standard): 3/10 - Meat quantity is tiny, not enough veg - Broth is mid Bo Ne: 4/10 - Sausage very spicy - this is like the western style sausage? Did not like this. - Meat and caramelized onions were good. - Raw salad meh - overall sauce is mid read more

My girlfriend loves pho, but I live closer to the good spots than she does, so instead of having our usuals, we decided to go some place a little different. Pho Nhat Minh seemed to be the most interesting place that wasn't as "far" as the East Side locations I live by. Located near Walmart and the Little Saigon plaza there, the place didn't look like much outside, but it had a much cleaner interior. The main thing we get worried about when try a new pho place is we're not fans or flat noodles in soup. We like the "regular, thin" pho, so I had to make sure they had that as an option. We got the all clear, and the most interesting thing was their Wagyu option. It came with a boiling hot bowl with all the beef on the side and so came away very impressed. Whether you like your meat to be rarer or cooking in the hot bowl longer -- it's all good. I definitely feel like I hit my protein macro. I thought it was a very fair value too. If anything maybe I would've liked more noodles, but it's definitely working to get. It's not my favorite pho but it's a very good bowl and I wouldn't mind coming back. read more

Pho Nhat Minh - 02. Pho Bo Wagyu - Vietnamese Near Me - San Jose, California

The Bun Bo Hue was really good. The broth had a nice flavor and was not too salty. I could also taste the lemongrass, which made the broth smell really good. The beef was soft and the portion was pretty good too. The noodles were cooked well and tasted great with the vegetables, lime, and chili. I really liked the broth because it was rich but still easy to eat. Overall, I enjoyed the food a lot and I would definitely come back again. The Bun Bo Hue was really good.

Pho Nhat Minh - 35. Bun Bo Hué - Vietnamese Near Me - San Jose, California

2.5 stars overall We came here because we were craving bún bò Huế. Unfortunately, did not live up to expectations. The bò né was disappointing. They had run out of bread, which I understand since we came late, so they substituted rice instead. That part wasn't an issue. What was disappointing was that it came without pâté, and it included a sausage link, which didn't feel authentic at all. The bún bò Huế broth was just okay, not terrible, but definitely not memorable. Compared to other Vietnamese restaurants in the area, it doesn't really stand out. We also had the bánh bột lọc and that was pretty good but it also tasted like they bought it frozen and just steamed it. The service was fine. The staff took our order, and they weren't rude, but there wasn't anything particularly noteworthy about the experience. The only real positive is that they're open late, which is convenient if you're craving Vietnamese food after most places have closed. One thing I also noticed was that, despite being located in Grand Century Mall near Vietnam Town, there weren't any Vietnamese or other Asian customers while we were there. It gave me the impression that the food may be geared more toward a broader American palate than toward traditional Vietnamese flavors. Overall, I wouldn't come back. There are much better Vietnamese restaurants nearby that serve more authentic and flavorful food. read more

The wagyu beef pho with thick noodles yum. The beef was so soft and tender and the broth went really well with it with the lemon and herbs. The waiter wasn't the nicest, and welcoming with our kids but the food was decent. I like that they have a tendon pho because my kids love tendon but it wasn't that soft. We also had the mochi wrapped in leaf appetizer. It was okay. The ambiance was nice, and it was clean. I'm not sure for the prices and portions that I would come often. One orange juice was $8.25! We wanted to try the Wagyu beef pho we saw on Instagram. It was good! read more

Was looking to try some new pho places to add to my roster, and Pho Nhat Minh is definitely going to be added to my list. The broth was Southern style, so was a little sweeter than I was used to, but it was so flavorful and fragrant. I got the combination pho, which came with big pieces of tendon; my favorite! My mom ordered the wagyu pho which came with the meat noodles and broth separated. Considering the price, you get a ton of meat. My mom really liked how the noodles were separated from the broth because she doesn't like when the noodles get soft in the soup. The wagyu pho was an interesting elevated take on pho, and the portion was generous. We also ended up ordering some crab spring rolls. They were crunchy and flavorful, but came a little bit overfried and the presentation could have been better with one of the spring rolls burst on the side. 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

Food is hit and miss. But hey, they open until 10pm! Bo Ne: 2.5/5. Beef is thin. Too much onion! No pate. The only good thing: they use 1/4 (or 1/3?) of a hot link. Pho with tendon: 3.5/5. A lot of tendons but the texture varies. Some were just right, but some were hard. Thai tea: 4.5/5. Great tea flavor. Just a bit too much ice for that price and size. Service? None. Other than taking orders and putting the food on the table, there was no service. Fork and napkins were not provided with Bo Ne. We had to ask for it. Iced water weee not served right away. The drinks weren't served when we were half way through our food. Note to self: ok for after 9pm in the area. There are better choices before 9pm. 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

Pho Nhat Minh is hidden Vietnamese restaurant in the Vietnamese Town plaza. There is a lot of parking, however, it's relevantly close to the exit streets. The interior is spacious and clean. Has a modern touch to the decoration and kitchen dinnerwares. The services were kind and quick. Bright out the drinks and food in a mannerly time. The food tasted fresh and had a lot of meat inside the dish. Highly recommend trying this place and they even close late! read more

The area is an obstacle course on weekends but take the side street entrance to avoid the crowded parking lot. Broth is light and delicious; not oily. I ordered the beef rib pho and the meat was so tender but I think it was cooked to make the broth so it lacked flavor. Nice portion of meat on the bone. They offer wide or skinny noodles. They were very soft and silky. read more

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!

The pho here is phenomenal. The spring rolls gave my fiancée and MIL food poisoning. I don't know if it's the tofu or the lettuce, but something there had something that shouldn't have been there and messed them up for a few days. The tables were clean enough and the service was tepid. You'll probably enjoy this place if all you eat is the pho. 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

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

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

I'm a regular here with my co workers. Decided to bring the entire family. Mother ordered the pho ga. She dbl checked to make sure it's the proper cut from the chicken with the waiter.

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

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

Came here again and the waiter was very rude to my 1 year old. I couldn't believe his attitude towards kids and I definitely wouldn't come here again for that very reason. He's the very skinny guy wearing glasses and a baseball cap. If he's reading this, being friendly and courteous will result in bigger tips. Response to the owner: Please view your security cameras for this morning and honestly let the yelp community know if my kid was actually running around your establishment. 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

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

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
