I was so excited Phở San Jose opened a second location close to home, the girls and I had to check it out as soon as it opened! Same bold, rich beef broth and perfectly tender, delicious, high-quality sliced meat as I love at the original location. The short rib tips here are special! I don't see that option a lot at other restaurants. This location is super spacious with lots of outdoor seating. The super sized fish aquarium was fun for the kids to look at. The only note is that the iced black coffee didn't taste sweetened at all and wasn't the best I've had it.
I really like that the Pho Dac Biet has meatballs as part of the meats listed. Usually when I get Pho, I have to add on meatballs for additional price. The broth was really nice and the noodles were firm. As I ate, the noodles started to soften. My friend said she wished her noodles were cooked less. The bowl size is actually substantial, so it's a good serving size. Lot of noodles and a good amount of meat. The place was very clean and spacious on a Thursday noon. I want to try their other dishes like bun rieu next time.
When first walking in, I thought the restaurant was small but then I realized there is another room. I fully understand why this restaurant was packed--it might be the best pho I have had in San Jose! The pho is absolutely delicious and packed with tons of flavor. The best part of the pho was the broth--as it was light and well flavored. The broth was neither too meaty nor filled with too many herbs. In addition, the meat was tender (great portion sizes!) and the noodles were bouncy. Together, with a delicious broth, tender meat and bouncy noodles, I could not ask for a more perfect bowl of pho! The pho reminded me of Vietnam! (We also ordered the egg rolls and lumpia--both were a perfect appetizer!) I really enjoyed the service. Our waiter was friendly and helped guide us through the expansive menu. He was also very attentive in filling our waters. HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend!!!
It's nice to see Pho San Jose expand their business. I've been to their other location several times. Pho San Jose Tully occupies the former space of Coffee Lovers on Tully Road. They have a parking lot in the back of the restaurant. The ambience is nice, cozy, and doesn't feel crowded. It's a very large and spacious restaurant with seating indoors with both booth and table seating. They also have a covered outdoor area, and counter seating. They have a nice fish tank. The customer servers was great! Ashley was very friendly, courteous, and welcoming. She has an infectious smile and joyful attitude while serving her customers (5/5). I only stopped in for some tea drinks. I ordered their Jasmine Milk Tea and Green Thai Milk Tea. Both were delicious and refreshing. I'll be back to dine in as I do like their food. Come support your local business.
The food was decent. I got nuôi xào bò and it tasted okay. The only downside is that the takeout portion is severely severely little for $19. I was very disappointed to say the least. I felt like they provided the same amount of nuôi xào bò as they did the vegetables. I was still hungry after finishing so it was a little disappointing as well. The service was fine though. The people there were nice.
I heard about the smoked brisket pho dish that is sold at this restaurant (and its other one too) so I decided to check it out with my friend. I arrived just at opening and there were two other tables that were occupied. The restaurant was still very new and clean and fairly large with a large patio dining area. Parking was plentiful but one needs to scout for alternate entry points otherwise you would have to traverse around the block. Service was very quick and professional. Our water was even refilled. My friend ordered the chicken pho which he liked but felt it was a little too sweet for him. For me the brisket pho was an interesting taste. The smoky flavor permeated into the pho broth which created an interesting flavor. The brisket itself was well done but seemed a little out of place when compared to regular brisket pho. It is truly an acquired taste and I would not be a frequent order. Perhaps I will come back sometime to try their other dishes.
Pho San Jose - 1696 Tully Rd, San Jose This large, charming restaurant was absolutely not worth the visit for us! There was no line when we arrived for Saturday lunch, but don't let that fool you. The staff was friendly, moved quickly, and made the ordering process fast and efficient. Unfortunately, the food was very disappointing. Bún Riêu: This was the biggest disappointment. The broth tasted more like tomato paste than a proper bún riêu broth. A good bún riêu should have a stronger crab and shrimp paste flavor, but that was almost completely missing. There was also no pig blood, and many of the main ingredients were missing. Every bite made me wonder, Is this really bún riêu? Hủ Tiếu Khô: Even more disappointing. It was missing liver, heart, squid, and ground pork. The noodles were mushy, and the dish was extremely salty. The side soup was also very salty. Phở San Jose Đặc Biệt: Just okay--not the best pho, especially for the price. Rice plate: Average. The rice was a little too dry, and the dish was also quite greasy. Payment: Convenient--they accept cash and credit cards, although there is an extra fee for credit card payments. Overall, the service was friendly and efficient, but the food did not meet our expectations at all. We would not recommend this restaurant and would not return.
Newly opened Pho restaurant in San Jose and in their soft opening stages. I must say they're doing a pretty go job on they're soft opening. Large indoor dining area with a large outdoor patio dinning area as well. Plenty of parking in their large parking lot. Lots of servers that were super friendly. And always came and refilled our water. Food was pretty good. Pho was flavorful and meats were tender. Love the fact that they have fresh noodle options. Only complaint was I wish the broth came out piping hot. The spare rib rice dish was a first time trying anywhere like that and it was good. Reminds me of our vietnamese braised pork ribs aka suon kho.
I went to this new pho restaurant. I ended up ordering the dry version of hu tieu. I enjoyed it since my noodles were coated in sauce. The sugarcane juice was so refreshing. I kept sipping on it, and before I knew it, it was empty. I was totally tempted to order another one. The service was good! It seems like to be a future place for the younger crowd to hang out at. I do miss the TV screens to watch sports from when it was Coffee Lovers though.
Phở Sure Second location for this locally-owned Viet restaurant, as they shockingly took over the old Coffee Lovers location. The Good: * Simple but elegant décor * Covered outdoor dog-friendly dining * Huge selection of Viet and Asian inspired drinks (didn't try any so can't comment) * Friendly service * Reservations via the Yelp app * Affordable prices--well, at least for the area. (: * Menu has a lot of the classic Viet favorites, as well as some interesting renditions of the classics, like a smoked brisket phở. My co-worker ordered it and said it was really good. * I had been craving a Vermicelli bowl and loved that their Bún Thịt Nướng (grilled pork w/ vermicelli) came w/ two delicious freshly-fried egg rolls. The pork was delicious and their concomitant nước chấm was delicious. Noodles were standard but plentiful. The Meh: * They're still in a soft opening so expect some service issues. As we had some kind of snafu with the ordering but it was quickly resolved. The Ugly: * Trying to get out of this parking lot is quite the pig fuck--especially if you're trying to get into the left turn pocket to go north on King Rd or flip a b¡tch to go west back down Tully. Conclusion: Another tasty Vietnamese restaurant in a city full of them.
Wanted to try this new location and glad we did. There are a few pho restaurants in the area that are popular and tend to get busy so it's nice to have another quality addition. The wait time for 3 people was about 15 minutes on a Saturday afternoon. Small seating area, dedicated parking lot and modern/clean interior. I ordered the Pho San Jose which was hearty and the broth was great. The food came out quickly despite the employees being very busy! When you're done you pay at the front of the building. I would say the menu could be a bit confusing so be sure to ask for clarification especially when ordering the rice/hot plates
I've been to the first location of Pho San Jose and was super happy to see they were going to open closer to me. Service is super fast and quick, the staff are very attentive and efficient. They bring the same quality flavor to Tully. If you want a richer broth I recommend ordering a side of bone marrow to go with your pho. I got the Pho San Jose which is a favorite of mine and the portion is pretty large. I got super full and each bowl is packed with a lot of meat. The broth is deep and flavorful. I recommend getting a side of the pickled onion to cut the fattiness. Another favorite is the shrimp doughnut, I don't think I've see anywhere else that's done it so we order it when we crave it. The drinks the coffee has that deep richness I always look for in a viet coffee. The banana cream is different here as you taste real banana vs the artificial creams at other places which was a surprise for us. I always look forward to getting my pho fix and what a pleasure to have one closer to us now!
This was a great experience. Absolutely loved the bright interior! The staff were so fast and attentive! We asked for chili sauce and we didn't even see it be placed at our table. I had the Pho San Jose and hot tea. The broth was sooo good! There could have been a little more noodles. But we are definitely coming back and trying a new thing on the menu!

Pho San Jose Tully is newer to the area, and I believe it's a second location, with the first location on Capitol Ave. I'm not sure if management is the same. My partner and I stopped by for dinner around 8 p.m. on a Saturday evening. The restaurant took over the old Coffee Lovers cafe. Parking is ample in a private lot that's well lit in the evenings. There are two entrances/exits to the restaurant: the front and back of the store. The service felt inconsistent, though I think we arrived at an odd moment when the staff were resetting, possibly after a busy rush. The restaurant was about 60% full during our visit, and several tables arrived just after us. FOOD The portions were generous and flavorful, and the ingredients were high quality--just as I'd expect from their special Pho San Jose and Pho Smoked Brisket. We also ordered Thai tea and soda Chanh. Honestly, the quality and portion sizes match the price, but it's still pretty steep. Overall, I'd come back for another bowl of pho if I'm in the area or craving pho late at night. This place closes at midnight on weekends, I believe, which is nice! read more

My party of 4 checked out Pho San Jose on a Saturday night. It's located on a busy street (Tully Rd) with plenty of parking in the back. Service was exceptional (efficient and friendly). Ordered 2 pho dac biet, the Hu tieu kho (comes with an egg) bun thit nuong and shrimp donut (super hot and crispy and shrimp flavor forward- they must have a great fryer) Overall food was gd and hot. We were impressed! read more
Food 3/5 Service 3/5 Ambiance 5/5 Came to try on a Sunday morning during 2nd week of opening. Not too packed and got a table for 2 fairly quickly. It's a nice place, love the spaciousness. I initially ordered chicken pho, strangely no stock. So I tried the hutieu noodles dry version, it was a little bland for my taste, so I added hoisin and more soy sauce from the table condiments and it tasted much better. I ordered the matcha strawberry coffee and it's delicious. Unfortunately, they were out of Vietnamese coffee too. Had to knock off some points for all the no stock items. read more
We frequent PSJ location in Berryessa so naturally we want to check out this new location at Tully road. Today is their first soft opening day to the public. This place replaced Coffee Lovers. Our family of 5 ordered pho San Jose, pho tu chon x 2, pho dat biet, hot plate with filet mignon and chicken wings. We also ordered giblets as a side order. For drinks we ordered penny wort with mung beans, penny wort with coconut juice, freshly squeezed orange juice, coconut juice, and ube coffee. We were greeted with a server the minute we sat down. They started us off with water and took our drinks order first while we are still deciding on what to order for food. Moments later a second server came to check in on us. For a soft opening day, I'm surprised they have a lot of help. We put in our food orders and the server did an order read back to ensure everything is correct. The orders got sent instantaneously to the kitchen via the portable electronic system. No chance of the order getting lost or misread. Food came out quickly as ordered. I love the pennywort mung bean drink and my sister in law loves her ube coffee. The boys said the pho broth was clean and tasty comparable to the Berryessa location. My filet mignon hot plate came out looking so beautiful and tasting so delicious. The location is newly renovated with comfortable booth seatings. They even have an area for the kids to play Tumble Tetris. We will be back to try other items on the menu like the rice plates and bun rieu. Also, I want to try more items from their drink menu. I highly recommend this place. Their soft opening hours are 10-3pm everyday except closing on Thursdays. read more

The Brisket Pho was a 10/10. The broth was so flavorful it needed no add ins. Thai tea was the perfect sweetness and wasn't that powder stuff. Vegetable egg rolls were so fresh. Staff were friendly and there was no wait time. read more

Let me set the scene. Pho San Jose has opened a second location on Tully Road, in the old Coffee Lovers space, and they did not just slap new signage on the old room. The place is bright and airy, with light wood tables, comfortable seating, and enough space between tables that you aren't sharing your broth-slurping soundtrack with strangers. For a pho spot, the ambiance is a real cut above. Now, the broth. I ordered the Phở Đặc Biệt and it arrived clear and amber, the kind of clean broth that tells you someone in the kitchen skims with discipline. Every cut showed up for duty: rare steak, brisket, tendon, tripe. The Thai basil was fresh and fragrant, not the sad, wilted sprigs some places hand you, and the side bowl of scallion whites and jalapeño steeping in broth is a detail I rarely see. That's a kitchen that cares. And shoutout to Ricky, who took great care of me. He checked in at just the right times, never hovered, and kept everything moving. Newly opened restaurants usually need a few months to work out the kinks, but this crew seems to have skipped that chapter entirely. Newly opened restaurants usually need a few months to work out the kinks. This crew seems to have skipped that chapter entirely. East San Jose is not short on pho, but Pho San Jose on Tully has earned a spot in my rotation. I'll be back to work through the rest of the menu, starting with the smoked brisket pho. read more

I always go to try the newest pho spots in my area and I'm glad I came here. My mom and I visited on a Saturday and it was busy! The staff are very attentive. We were seated right away and service was fast. I got pho and my mom got the dry hu tieu. Their portions are huge! The pho broth was flavorful and fatty and even though I prefer a cleaner broth, this one was very good. I picked up the bowl and finished all the broth. The dry hu tieu was also very good. My mom enjoyed that it was saucy and there was plenty of well cooked meat and seafood on top. Overall, I'm a little sad that coffee lovers is gone but has gotten an upgrade in lighting, the booth seating, and everything looks really clean. It also has a cool fish tank (iykyk!). I would come back again! read more

I had a great experience here with my family. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained, the staff was welcoming, and the service was incredibly fast. The pho was flavorful, fresh, and came out hot. You can tell they take pride in both their food and customer service. Highly recommend if you're looking for great pho in San Jose! read more
Final Thoughts: 2.40/5 New Viet food place that opened up on Tully road. They replaced Coffee Lovers. My friends and I wanted a simple dinner today. This spot is close around here and so we decided to go here. They are still in the soft opening stage, so perhaps a one star isn't quite fair for them. You would really have to give me a terrible experience for that to happen. Will be a 2 stars for today. With some improvements and more training, hoping they'll be alright. Food: Gỏi Cuốn (Spring Rolls): 3.0/5 This is a very interesting case and mix-up. My original order was gỏi cuốn (sping rolls), however, what I received was gỏi cuốn chay (vegetarian spring rolls). Two differences here: 1) the protein and 2) the dipping sauce. For the regular spring rolls, they use shrimp for the protein and include a hoisin peanut dipping sauce. Per their menu, the vegetarian one uses tofu as the protein and has a soy sauce dipping sauce. What I received today was the vegetarian spring rolls combined with the hoisin peanut dipping sauce?? I'm not actually complaining about the dipping sauce because I do like this dipping sauce, but it's just interesting how there was confusion with order and with constructing the dish. The rolls are 90% vegetables, 8% vermicelli, and 2% tofu though, so...yea. Very refreshing for the heat though. Filet Mignon Hot Plate: 2.0/5 Contrary to the description of this item, this plate was served just warm at best? Again, very interesting because the description states "All hot plates served HOT, with baguette (bánh mì), pate, red pork, egg, Vietnamese meatball (xíu mại), tomato, and pickled veggie". The pan looked like it was aluminum and was hardly hot. Not sure where the pickled veggies went. Bread was not my favorite at all. Definitely not bánh mì Đức Hương quality. Flavor was just alright. Meat is tender and mostly already cut up. My recommendation is that it needed more of a sauce component and temperature would be better retained on an iron cast pan. Bò Lúc Lắc (Shaking Beef): 3.0/5 This is their stir fried filet mignon with white rice/red rice. My friend chose red rice today. The rice was quite mushy, even for me who tends to lean more on that side versus a dry rice consistency. The meat was tender enough. Of note, typically the onions and bell pepper or veggies are very caramelized in the sauce. There was 1) no sauce and 2) no caramelization at all. The food did come out fairly quickly, so perhaps the veggies did not have much time was spent on the pan. I'm fine with a raw onion, but I know that's not the typical or preference for a lot of others. Again, this dish could really use some more sauce to it. --------- Quality: Aiight? Their food came out fairly quickly, so I'm not sure. Their veggies are very fresh and has that nice texture to it, which I like. Made or order? Hmm maybe? My spring rolls were fine, but my friend's hot plate really wasn't that "HOT" as emphasized in their menu. Price: Average Prices for the dishes will range from $17 to $21. This seems like average pricing for these dishes within the SJ/Bay Area. For 4 of the vegetarian rolls, it was $10, which is better than other places that give 2 for $8 ish. Given what the dishes were though, the prices seem appropriate. Service: Would benefit with some additional training Definitely still within the training period. One of the waiters was trying to take our order. It took some time to actually find the item and input it. Some clarifying questions needed to be asked, as well. We pointed and said the items multiple times and there was still some miscommunication. Just by the looks of my dish, you can tell there was some miscommunication on multiple levels. My order was for the "regular" spring rolls with the shrimp and hoisin peanut dipping sauce. What I received was the vegetarian spring rolls with hoisin dipping sauce. If it was a mix up with the spring rolls, then it should have been with a soy sauce dipping sauce instead of the hoisin sauce. Customer service wise though, they are quite nice, but again, could benefit from some training. So interesting that it took like 3 people coming out to serve us our food, but was so difficult to get some to bring us the check. My friend did end up just going up to the front counter to pay. Ambiance: Spacious Interior is huge. Very standard Vietnamese restaurant. Lots of seating and tables inside. They do have booth seats and regular tables/seats. My preferences is always the booth seats, but they let us choose. Location/Parking: Not the best location This location is right on Tully Road and I actually can't say it's the best location. Getting out can be kind of a nightmare, but there is the option to go out onto King Road, which may be slightly better. There's parking in the back and doesn't seem to be super crowded, so fair space. Will have some tighter turns though, so just a caution. read more

Started it off with the salted foam coffee, which had a nice balance of rich coffee, a hint of sweetness, and the salty foam on top. I tried the gà xối mỡ which came with a good portion of rice and crispy chicken. We also tried a tofu vermicelli tofu noodles which had crispy egg rolls and fried tofu which paired nicely with a sweet and salty sauce. The service was fast, and the atmosphere was beautiful and inviting. Overall, a solid spot with good food and drinks. read more
Been a regular to Pho San Jose since the beginning at their first location and now that this one is down the street from me, I'm excited to come here daily for lunch. I think I've been here everyday or so it feels like. First the decor is different from their first location, so it's a breath of fresh air. I love the giant store front sign, you can see it from afar. The Hermes orange booths really pop and ties everything together. The giant chandeliers are like ufos hovering over your head and the artificial turf in the play area is a nice touch. They have artificial trees inside and out with a mix of real plants which I love. Don't get me started on the fish tank, it's made of what looks like bulletproof glass and looks amazing, I seen them add more fishes today. The service was fast and quick, was greeted right away as I walked in, got a seat and as I was waiting for my friend I got to sit and enjoy the fish tank. I ordered a thai tea and the server asked what level of sweetness I wanted it at; rarely do I get asked that at asian food restaurants. The food came out quick and the broth piping hot. Now to the food. My go to item is the Pho San Jose with a side of bone marrow, I like a fatty pho. The last few times I decided to change my orders because I plan to try all the new items at least once. The nui xao bo was really good, the pasta was cooked right, the meat was tender, and the sauce had a balance of sweet and salty. The egg-rolls and springs rolls were fresh as usual and the shrimp filled donuts are one of a kind, you can't find it anywhere else. They're still in the soft opening phase so of course there are kinks that need to be ironed out so people should be more understanding towards the young staff. Like the sign I seen at the store "be a buddy, not a bully". read more

I usually go to Pho San Jose (on Capitol ave)for their pho, but decided to try something different this time and I'm so glad I did! This noodle dish was SO good and honestly addictive .

I understand it's a soft opening right now, but I hope the management will take my review as supportive feedback. I hope to return another time to improvements! I liked how the place was decorated/renovated compared to what it was previously. The tables/booths were placed with more thought and there was a nice aquarium to look at instead of the kitchen. We were greeted by staff upon arrival, but other than that and taking our orders, no one checked in on us and we always had to wave for attention or water. It's not a good look when there are 5+ employees chatting with each other at the register when customers are in need. The drinks were so sweet that I had to water mine down a bit. I loved the spring rolls and thought they were reasonably priced. The sprouts were yellow, not fresh, and came out...warm for some reason..? That was a first for me. The Bún thịt nướng was delicious, but had clumps of fried onion that were almost impossible to chew. I ordered the variety pho bowl with fatty brisket, tendon, and bone marrow. The broth lacked a lot of spice and flavor that other restaurants in San Jose have. The fatty brisket was fine and the tendon was a little too firm for my liking. I was really excited to see bone marrow as an option for my bowl. The first bite of it was nice and buttery. The second bite, however, was straight. up. GAMEY. I was mortified. The taste was so strong that I INSTANTLY lost my appetite and didn't bother to finish the rest of my bowl, which was basically half! The cherry on top was the lady behind me cracking so much pepper into her bowl that the whole restaurant could hear LOL Lots to improve, but hope this place can step it up! read more

One of my favorite spots for phở in San Jose! I've been to both Phở San Jose locations, and one thing that really stands out is the consistency. No matter which location I visit, the quality, flavor, service, and overall experience are consistently excellent. What makes their phở unique is the depth and balance of the broth. It has a distinctive flavor that really sets it apart from other phở spots around San Jose. The portions are generous, the ingredients taste fresh, and everything comes together beautifully. The ambience is also awesome--the restaurants have a welcoming, modern atmosphere that makes it a great place whether you're grabbing a quick bowl or sitting down with family and friends. And the service is friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. Having two locations and maintaining that same level of quality and service at both is impressive. If you're a phở lover or looking for a great Vietnamese restaurant in San Jose, definitely give Phở San Jose a try. Two locations, same great flavor, great atmosphere, and great service. read more

PHO SAN JOSE IS SOOOO YUMMY!!! The food is seriously so high quality and everything we tried was delicious. And the spring rolls... OMG. They are honestly the BEST spring rolls I've ever had! I almost didn't want to write this review because I don't want this place getting packed with people but I NEED everyone to know how good it is. This is officially our new home for pho! If you haven't tried Pho San Jose yet, GO!!! You will not regret it. This is seriously the best! read more

5/5 Just tried Pho San Jose and it quickly became our new favorite neighborhood spot! The Pho Special was excellent -- rich, flavorful broth with a nice ginger kick that really stands out (exactly how I like it). I wasn't expecting the hu tieu and their drinks to be this good either, but everything hit the mark. Super happy to finally have a solid pho place so close by. Definitely coming back soon! read more
