    Combination fried rice , before they gave me the Chinese sausages.
    Syda C.

    This is a very cutesy Pho establishment. Very clean, service is great. We ordered the pan sear pho and my husband got a house special pho. Between the 2 I like the house special . We also got a combination fried rice . Everything came out nice and hot.

    was craving pho but didn't want to sit through traffic to viet town after my swim lesson. thank goodness there was this spot less than a five-minute drive away. the filet mignon pho was so yum! the broth was rich and hot, the beef was tender, and the noodles had a nice bounce to them / was not mushy. mother approved too (she's very picky) our server was really friendly, and the place was very clean. would definitely come back!

    The house special hits so good. There's a lot of volume in the Pho, which is not common with a lot of other restaurants so this just adds on. The service was super quick and very friendly. The ambiance of the place is soo random, but I'm into it. Just random figures and statues everywhere, but it made me want them for myself. They have videos playing of influencers who have eaten at this spot as well.

    We got here right when they opened and it filled up pretty quick. The service was so friendly and the waitresses were on top of it! The ambiance was really nice and clean with a lot of cool statues on the counter. The food was amazing. My son and I both got the custom pho w meat and a side of the beef ribs. Everything came out nice and steaming hot and the meats were really tender. We got the eggrolls appetizer and I like it because the use the springroll wrappers to fry instead of your typical eggroll wrappers. ALWAYS ask for chili oil because they keep it refrigerated behind the counter. The Coconut drink was refreshing and not overly sweet! Definitely a great first experience and I recommend this place 10/10!

    This restaurant is my boyfriend's absolute favorite! This was my first time coming with him. It is located in a plaza with lots of parking. Service was quick. We ordered the spring rolls and wok stir fry beef pho with fresh noodles. We also got a salted kumquat plum tea. Everything was delicious. I really enjoyed how fresh the spring rolls tasted and the dipping sauce was an incredibly great pairing. The pho was really flavorful. I understand why it is my boyfriend's go-to order now! The drink we ordered was also super refreshing and came with chia seeds. A bit on the sweeter side for me, but I still enjoyed it. I would definitely come back again!

    I visited Pho Now today, and it's clean and organized restaurant. The staff were friendly, and I ordered the #1 Special. The broth was flavorful, and the meats were nicely trimmed. They have a great variety of dishes to choose from! The only minor downside was that the serving of bean sprouts was a bit small amount. Overall, it's one of the better bowls of pho I've tried recently. I will definitely be back!

    I ate all my food it was good so nothing left lol

    Pho broth was delicious and the lemonade was immaculate; 10/10 would come here again fr. I had brisket

    Com tam pork chop
    Kelly T.

    Tried this place for the first time with my family and found it pretty average overall. Bún thịt tôm nướng: 3.5/5 - Decent but nothing special. Sizzling cơm tấm: Basic and disappointing since they used regular rice instead of broken rice. The hot plate also caused oil to splatter everywhere. I didn't really like having bell peppers on my com tam, it was an interesting take. Nem spring rolls: 3.5/5 - Good, but I've had better. Service was good, but I wasn't impressed enough to come back.

    We happen to be the area looking for a spot to eat at after doing errands. I have been wanting to try one of the newer Pho restaurants in South San Jose, Pho Now. We arrived on a late Saturday afternoon for lunch recently. Pho Now is located in a nice large plaza off Capitol Expressway. Lucky grocery store and the popular Cha Cha Sushi is located in the same shopping plaza as well. Parking is accessible in the large parking lot out front. The Vietnamese restaurant has nice modern cultural decor. Colorful fun Asian characters and some Japanese art are present in the front and counter area. It is spacious and clean with plenty of tables for dine in. We ordered 2 shrimp and pork vermicelli and 1 kids bowl with beef balls. Everyone enjoyed their delicious food. Our vermicelli bowls were huge and looked appetizing. The shrimp was juicy while the pork was unfortunately chewy. Noodles were tasty. My son said his kids bowl was yummy and the beef balls were scrumptious. Overall we enjoyed our experience at Pho Now. The staff were nice and accommodating. There was a robot server that brought over cups of water to us which I thought was a nice touch. The price point was in the higher side for Vietnamese food in the area but the dishes are large proportions. The vibe was family friendly and bustling. We hope to be back to try other dishes on the menu.

    Solid pho spot in an unassuming strip mall. We were close by and craving some noodles so did a quick yelp review to see what was close by. We thought about going to the east side but we were feeling hungry and decided to give this spot a try. Service was prompt with a cute little robot whose only job was to bring drinks. The servers were great.. Food was super delicious If we are around the area, we'll be back

    Tried this new pho spot and had a great experience from start to finish. The food was fresh, flavorful, and came out perfect. The service was friendly and attentive, and the place had a really welcoming vibe. One of the coolest touches was the little robot that brought our drinks to the table definitely wasn't expecting that. Great food, great service, and a fun experience overall. I'll definitely be coming back and highly recommend giving this place a try!

    I've had Leung Noodle bookmarked for so long and it did not disappoint. It's pretty popular at all…read morehours (even during the morning when they open) so be prepared for a slight wait at times, but service is quick. I love how customizable the menu is. You can order soup or dry style, then choose between 6 different types of noodles, then finally choose your broth. The possibilities are endless! We went with the classic which was dry, combination noodles (which includes egg noodle and rice noodle), and nam vang (shrimp and pork). This is their most popular order and you can't go wrong! If you order it dry, it comes with a side of soup. My issue with Hu Tieu Nam Vang at other restaurants is that sometimes it's too dry and there's not enough sauce. Not a problem at Leung Noodle! They have a perfect amount of sauce that coat all the noodles really well. Tons of meat too - I'm not even able to finish it! They have sides that you can use like pickled garlic and chili spice. Would recommend getting a side of Chinese donuts too. It pairs really well with the noodles!

    It was decent. I'd rate it a 3.5 stars. I thought the portion looked small but it turned out to be…read morejust the right amount. The wonton is not good. Needed more flavor. The fried shrimp dumpling is not worth it. Legit looked like har gow but they deep fried it. Broth was good tho. The noodles had a nice chew. Although, I couldn't really tell if they used 2 types of noodles: egg noodles and Hu Tieu because of the dark sauce already mixed at the bottom. Service is a bit stand off ish. Funny how I can understand what they are saying. Prompt service tho. I'd come back if I was craving some Hu Tieu Nam Vang.

The restaurant appears to be family-owned and operated, and everyone there is incredibly kind and welcoming. They regularly checked in on us, kept our water and tea refilled, and made us feel well taken care of throughout our meal. When we packed our leftovers to go, they even offered to refill our soup container for us--now that's exceptional service! It's the little things like that that keep customers coming back. They're currently offering 10% off during the month of July to celebrate their 10-year anniversary, which makes it an even better time to visit. I'll definitely be back and look forward to continuing to support this wonderful local business.
