I came here with my family for lunch. It was just ok. Not sure if I will return. There was a bit too much noodles. And the broth was a bit off. I always taste the broth first at any pho place I try before adding condiments, and this one had a weird sour after taste. Not like citrus sour but the kind of sour like the broth has been sitting out over night and re heated for continuous use. The cook was out on the floor and we quietly let him know. He said he would check and never got back to us. Other than that, the service was friendly, but we will not be coming Bach
We were hosting someone and he really wanted Vietnamese food and was excited to try this place out. I don't usually get Vietnamese food- not my first choice- but we went with whatever our guest wanted. This was really really good. It felt like we were eating somewhat healthy and the food was good quality and with some really good flavors and great portion sizes. Would eat there again
Another winter night calls for some warm pho. We have never been to this pho spot in this South Bay area. I wanted to try them out. We arrived on a Sunday night for dinner recently. The Vietnamese restaurant is located in a nice area in a small plaza off Santa Teresa and Cottle blvd in south San Jose. Parking is accessible in the large parking lot out front. Pho Teresa has traditional Vietnamese modern decor. The restaurant is quite spacious and bright with plenty of tables for dine in. The atmosphere is welcoming and family friendly. We ordered a beef stew with egg noodle, beef balls with rice noodle soup, and a grilled shrimp over vermicelli. Everything was authentic and delicious. My beef stew was flavorful and soothing warm. Unfortunately some of my beef pieces were too chewy and tough. My son enjoyed his beef balls soup and said it was very tasty. Overall we enjoyed our experience at Pho Teresa Restaurant. The staff were nice and accommodating. Price point was fair. I thought I knew this area well since I work out at the 24 fitness gym down the street but I did not know this pho restaurant was located here at all. It's good to know a pho spot is in this area. I hope to be back to try other items.
My first meal out since the 49th day has passed. I've been eating a vegetarian diet for 50 days to help my uncle in his afterlife. I knew I wanted pho, but it was an added bonus to have not just Gavin but my nephew, too. It was my first time taking him out. We ordered 2 Pho Dac Biet and a small Pho Tai w/o onions and cilantro. I asked for a small bowl and scissors. The restaurant was clean, service was quick, and nice. My only complaint was having to use disposable wooden chopsticks. Other than that the broth was flavorful. I appreciated the generous amounts of tripe and tendon. I'm glad there is another pho place in South San Jose.
Excellent! The ambiance is relaxing as if at home, service is quick and the food is outstanding.
3.5/5. The vegan pho broth was just a veggie bouillon - didn't have any of the traditional Vietnamese aromatics. Pho was piping hot, good quantity of veggies and tofu. Service was quick, you go pay at the register. Glad for vegan options, wish they made the broth with the spices as they do for the beef phos.
Came here for lunch on a cold but busy day, place was packed but service was fast, prompt and friendly. Ordered the #1 combo which only comes in Large but a good portion size of variety of the meats. The Vietnamese iced coffee was strong a flavorful, packing a nice punch to wake you up. The store is a bit small so try coming a bit early for lunch as it does get packed or you will need to wait a bit.
Wow -- I can't believe it took me this long to dine in at Pho Teresa! I've only ever stopped by for coffee and smoothies to-go (which are amazing, by the way), but sitting down for a meal here was a game-changer. The place is spotless, the family that runs it is incredibly warm and welcoming, and the service makes you feel right at home. I especially love that the young son works there with his parents -assuming this. I ordered Shaking Cubed Marinated Filet Mignon Beef with Tomato Rice plate -- the beef was juicy, tender, and cooked to perfection. The red rice was packed with flavor, and the sautéed veggies? Chef's kiss! Everything was fresh, balanced, and satisfying, and soooo filling. Between the hospitality, the mouthwatering food, and the cozy, clean setting, it's definitely earned a spot on my regular rotation. If you haven't tried it yet, you're seriously missing out!
Family owned Pho restaurant that has great service and food. Got the steak rice plate and my wife got some Pho. Both were delicious and the service was fast. Their veggies are fresh and the steak was seasoned and cooked perfectly. Definitely come here if you want authentic food.
I came to Pho Theresa for lunch with my coworkers today and I gotta say, we were extremely satisfied. I ordered a small bowl of the fatty beef pho. The large size was a dollar more but the small portion size was perfect and filling! I can only imagine what the large size would be like! The service was quick and we got in right in time before the lunch rush. I will most definitely be back to try their large bowls of pho on my day off so I can take a nap after ^_^
Classic pho restaurant with squeeze bottle sauces and a holder at each table for sauce trays and utensils. Great: Tamarind Wings - first of all, the wings are HUGE. Big hulking anabolic chickens they get these from. After deep frying they're briefly stir fried with some fragrant vegetables and mixed with a sweet and tangy tamarind sauce. Really worth the price! Good: Combination Pho #2: I honestly feel like most pho tastes pretty similar. This one is solid, but there's nothing that particular elevates it in my eye above the competition. The meats were good quality and tendons were nice and soft. Service is quick and efficient. Love a classic pho restaurant. I'd say this place is just a tad on the pricier side but I think it's worth the journey. I do prefer reusable utensils rather than all disposable which they have here for the chopsticks and sauce trays, but super minor.
I ordered the pho bo vien and if anyone knows this order, most restaurants usually skimp on the beef balls... Thank goodness not pho Theresa! The right amount and then some and the pho itself is flavorful. Love this place
So far so great! My first viet restaurant since I moved to San Jose, and I have to say I was very satisfied! I was living in the Napa/vallejo area for so long, I didn't know what was out there, and I was told by many that San Jose has the best viet food in the bay! They weren't kidding! The portion was great and it was better than anything I had in a long while! The service was quick and accommodating. The place was very clean and plenty of parking! I'll be back as a regular!

Pho Teresa is good, but not a Pho out of the ordinary for me. It's clearly a very popular place, as it was decently busy when we came on a Friday lunch time. We had the beef ball pho, the veggie pho, and rare brisket pho. Fast service. Spacous place. read more

I have been waiting for a good Pho spot in my area for sometime now. The restaurant was nice and clean. The service was very good and attentive. The Pho was really good. I loved the broth and everything tasted fresh. This really hit the spot. I love all the options they had for you right at the table with hoisin sauce, sriracha sauce, soy sauce, chili crisp etc. The Spring rolls were excellent and really refreshing. I ate two and took the rest home. I appreciate they gave me a container to take the peanut sauce home as well. Lots of Vietnamese restaurants forget that all the time. I am definitely coming back here soon! read more

Food was really good and came out hot and ready. I enjoyed the rich broth and all of the meat were paired really well. Service was amazing and quick to deliver. They were very accommodating. The table has forks, spoons, soup spoons, and chopsticks along with 4 different sauces to choose from. The place itself is cute and what you typically see at pho restaurants. Very calming vibe to it. Will be coming back :) read more
Excited to see a highly rated pho spot near the hospital that I was visiting. I visited for a week so I decided to dine in a few times. For apps, their tamarind chicken wings were a bit overcooked and the flavor was just okay. Sadly, their Shrimp Fried Roll was dripping oil, so I had to stop early on that. I was happy to see the addition of sandwiches to the menu. Had their grilled pork Banh Mi with a good-sized, perfectly toasted roll. But the sandwich lacked the amount of meat. Fried rice was pretty average. Shockingly, it didn't look like the picture in the menu. What stood out was their Grilled Pork Chop over Rice. Everything on this plate made us smile, from the tenderness of the chop to the grilled flavor. What also had me at first taste was their Pho#3 with well done brisket, flank tendon, and tripe. Broth was decent and the entire bowl was meaty. The cold weather made this bowl even better! Bumping it up to 3.5, thanks to their Mango smoothie. Very refreshing! read more

Good place for pho in south San Jose. There are better places for dishes like the bun bo hue from Hue but Pho Teresa is also a very solid place for pho. The soup is very flavorful and portion sizes are fairly good even for the smaller bowl of soup. Bring your appetite if you order the large bowl! The meat inside the pho is fresh and there is also a very good amount of meat. I come often with my coworkers and the service is fairly fast. They can hold about 12-15 tables and can move around tables for large groups. read more
This review is for DoorDash/take out only: Can't speak for the service or the ambiance here but the food definitely is top notch. Vegetarian equivalent of pho aka rice noodle soup is not an easy dish to pull off. Usually the broth is lackluster at most restaurants but pho Teresa's vegetarian rice noodle soup broth was so flavorful! The rice noodles were cooked to perfection and packed with veggies like cabbage, carrots, celery and broccoli. The accompanying hoisin sauce and chili oil added that extra depth of flavor. Oh and the portion size is good enough for two meals for someone like me. I can foresee myself ordering from here often every time that craving for pho will hit. So happy to have found a place with fantastic vegetarian noodle soup! read more
We found Pho Teresa per Reddit reviews and I was quite impressed with their pho. The broth has a specific taste which the hubby and I love! It takes us back to the pho we ate in Paris. The only downside is their service. I always requests "less noodles" and they nod to my request (I like to drink my broth over having noodles). However, they bring a bowl which consists of mainly noodles EVERY time. The noodles are nothing to rave about like other pho spots. They taste generic. The meatballs are chewy and have a lot of the tendon in them which I am not a fan of. As stated, the broth is what does it for me. It's why we go back often knowing it's not on my top 5 list. read more

Trying different items from the menu today. My husband got the Beef Stew Egg Noodles. He said he liked it better than the phở. My mother who was joined us today got the bún bò huế (BBH) said the broth was rather oily. The dish itself wasn't true BBH because it used the same meats for the phở rather than other beef cuts. When ordering, I'm quite sure our waitress heard me order the tamarind chicken wings (since she asked me to co firm it was item #A7. At the end of our meal, I realized our wings never came out. When I had gone up to pay, it turned out they missed the itemed so the kitchen never made it. My group came around 1PM. The store was pretty full with a few vacant tables. We were seated quickly in the corner by the door, which at first seemed fine. But throughout our time eating, there were flies that kept pestering us. Not the best experience I've had so far here. read more

My family and I arrived here at 12 pm for lunch on a Sunday! Finally had the opportunity to try this place after they conducted their grand opening. Super happy that there's a good pho place in South San Jose, which saves me time from driving across to East San Jose. PARKING: It's part of a larger plaza next to a liquor store, so nothing to worry about! Lots of parking. AMBIENCE: Super welcoming store with nice staff. The place is on the smaller scale with fitting about 35-40 customers for a full house. Great decor with natural light from the clean windows, plants next to the dining tables, and Asian decor all over the restaurant. The space can be a bit cramped, especially with the wait staff travelling between dining tables to bus tables. SERVICE: Service was fast with being sat down immediately and orders taken after 5 minutes. It felt like the staff were overwhelmed with the volume of customers during the lunch rush hour. Many people in the kitchen but only 2 people in the dining room. The 2 in the front were multitasking from bussing tables, taking delivery orders, making drinks, and checking out customers. ORDERS: -Spring Rolls: always a family favorite with lots of shrimp and meat stuffed inside! Homemade peanut sauce is such a power move and a plus! Great combo and a must have order -Fried Wontons: Filled with shrimp and lots of crunch. Something for my pick eater sibling to eat. Something to snack on with sweet chili sauce and munch with lettuce and carrots. -Pho: ordered mine with well done brisket, flank tendon, and tripe! Oh so good! Clean and delicious broth with lots of umami. Add in your bean sprouts, mint, and jalapeños and it's an awesome flavor profile. I had enough for leftovers despite ordering a small. RATING: Would definitely come again! read more
Sooo happy a good pho restaurant opened in this area of San Jose! No more driving across town to get my pho fix. The restaurant is fairly new so it's very clean and tidy. The staff quickly greeted me and asked me to pick whatever table I wanted. I was given water straight away and my order was taken in an efficient manner. Although they technically do not have vegetarian pho, they do have a vegetarian menu with veggie noodle soup and you can make it vegan by ordering it with rice noodles vs egg noodles. I also ordered the veggie egg rolls. My food was ready in less than 10 mins! *Veggie egg rolls- Big portion! Crispy and tasty. Great sauce paired with it. Would order again. *Veggie noodle soup- SOOOO good. The broth is what really stood out to me. It was obviously a veggie based broth but it was so tasty without being overly salty. They load it up with veggies and noodles. For once I couldn't finish my noodles lol! The tofu also stood out to me because they didn't overly fry it, it was lightly fried. I left super satisfied and itching to come back with friends! 10/10 recommend :). read more

Delicious everything!! The pho, appetizer, and drinks were all so good and I would def be back for round 2! Once I entered the restaurant, it was very clean. There was also no wait, so I got my food and drinks pretty fast. We both shared the wontons, I got the beef pho with rare steak and brisket (the broth was so yummy), my bf got the grilled shrimp and beef rice plate (his came with this really good dressing, I'm not sure if it was for the lettuce he got or for the rice, but it was super good and his plate also came with a mini pho broth), the Vietnamese coffee, and the soursop boba smoothie (not bad, but I wouldn't order it again next time. It was not as sweet for me). Also I think I saw that they had a buy 3, get 1 free drink?? I'm not sure if it's an ongoing thing or if it was just for that day. read more
First time eating Pho Teresa and I ordered a vermicelli bowl with bbq pork. Which is my way of gauging a Vietnamese restaurant which I've never eaten at. The pork was grilled perfectly but I would have liked more of the vermicelli. However, everything was great. The service was quick. The restaurant was very clean. The tables were clean immediately after customers left. Will like to try the rest of the menu. read more
We decided to stop here for lunch on our way home from my PT appointment. When we arrived it wasn't busy at all. But by the time we left it got pretty busy. We were greeted and seated and given two menus. Inside is nice and clean with plenty of seating. Looks brand new. The menu has a lot of options. We decided to try the Vietnamese fried egg rolls, shaking beef with tomato rice and the grilled shrimp and BBQ chicken over vermicelli. Our order came out so quickly. Everything was fresh, hot and made to order. I loved the shrimp and chicken over the vermicelli. It was delicious with the fish sauce. My husband loved the shaking beef. It was so flavorful. Both of us enjoyed the Vietnamese egg rolls. They were stuffed with a good amount of filling and had the perfect crunch. Overall I'd say the food is really good and the service was excellent. We will definitely be back to try different things. read more
