I gave them a second try. This is not my number one pick. Sometimes I feel rushed, especially if it happens to be busy. Not the place if you want to relax and take time having dinner with the family. This is more of a quick stop perhaps after you've done some shopping. Food tastes good and the service has improved. read more

Goi cuon is good, and they took milk tea off their menu. Waiter was a middle age man who didn't come by to refill our water and the table did not have straws for our cups, which I use when I am out in case they haven't cleaned their cups well enough, I don't want to feel like I am putting my lips where some stranger did and they didn't clean my cup well enough. Egg rolls here are good though, and on summer days I'd recommend their noodle dishes rather than pho, which I think are better suited on colder days =) read more

Pho Thanh An - Vietnamese Near Me - Gilroy, California

For authentic Vietnamese food? Yes! You know it's legit when 1) is run by them, 2) they have the hoisin, hot sauce, chopsticks, spoons all set out on the table already. I appreciate it's always fast when you order. Typically do take out now w little kids for ease. read more

Consistently fresh and delicious! Been going here for 7 years! Take out or dine in, the quality is always great.

Previously great. Now horrible food and service. Place was almost empty. Nobody goes there anymore. They must have new owners who don't know how to provide quality food and service. We've been there probably 20 times over the years, but we will never go back again. read more

This place blew me away!! From the excellent customer service to the delicious food!! When we came in, we were greeted greeted right away by two workers and told that the wait would be 5 minutes (all the tables were filled). Less than 5 minutes a table got up and the workers quickly bussed the table and sat us down. They took our order and the food came out pretty quickly. I ordered the vermicelli bowl with egg roll and bbq pork. My fiancé ordered pho (rare steak and flank). Both dishes were delicious! The bbq pork had a nice flavor to it and the egg roll was also really good! I loved the pho! The broth had the right amount of flavor to it. You can tell they boiled the beef bones for a while to really get a nice flavor. The only thing I wish they could do I'd give more meat in the pho. But besides that, everything was good. I highly recommend and will be coming back!! read more

Best pho! Very friendly owners. Food is always hot and fresh. Broth is very flavorful

It's fine! Dude, why all the negative comments? Relax a little. Folks from another country bringing you there good food and family recipes not knowing much of the American way, it's hard. The place was clean enough, the service was fast enough with no communication breakdown and the prices were fair enough. Give some breathing room for authenticity. I've eaten a lot of Vietnamese chow, it's good. Fresh, hot, and fast. This place was packed at 2:30 in the afternoon, the tables were full and others waiting to be seated. Last words..eat it! read more

Pho Thanh An - Ahhh, good enough. - Vietnamese Near Me - Gilroy, California

We have been traveling by RV through areas that do not have Vietnamese restaurants so we thought this would be a treat to have Pho Soup and it was. With Covid restrictions all dining was outside under pop ups or umbrellas. We ordered a large soup and spring rolls. Soup was very tasty and enough for us to split between us. The service and food was provided quickly which is handy if you are there for lunch break. Recommend for take out or a no frizzle atmosphere. read more

Stumbled upon this place about 15 years ago. It's a gem of a place. There are several pho restaurants around but I feel this one makes the best pho . It's nothing fancy but the food speaks volumes. There chicken wing appetizer is delicious and crunchy. I've had several different items from the restaurant and all were delicious. read more

Always fresh and delicious. This place never dissipates. Reasonable prices and good portions. No need to drive to San Jose. Best Pho in Gilroy!! read more

Food was good! If you are passing by or shopping and you enjoy Pho this is a pretty good spot.

Love the food and the people! Family friendly and the food is super yummy! I try iré almost more than half the menu!

First time here on 12-12-22 . As we walked in my husband said why do they have a mess on all the tables ? Menus, serving wear, sauces, napkins just everywhere on each table. Kind of if someone was getting ready to clean tables . He started moving them to another table so we could sit. The lady said no. Then we realized that's the stuff we where going to use. LOL. We ordered our food and it was good. My take on this method is they don't want to deal with customer service. Just serve food and fend for yourself. Also open boxes here and there. Just didn't seem organized. read more

I do not recommend this place at all The food has no flavor. Maybe it's me but the selection was confusing and not kid friendly. Nope read more

Wow. I've never reviewed this place?? Crazy. I call in for take out twice a month for the family: #1 / #2 ( egg roll/ Vietnamese spring roll) #8 (everything/ kitchen sink of meat. Tendon, tripe, meatballs, LOTS GOING ON!) Or? Now new #9 ( wonton dumplings!!) #28 chicken noodle for my 13 yr old #46 shrimp dry noodle for my 15 yr old pescatarian I'll occasionally roll a #39 egg noodle tendon, as well. #37 beef tendon/ hofun for the wife. #89 honeydew with pearl for the girls, as well. Lots of sriracha, and big smiles. Legit phó. read more

I used to live in Gilroy about 10 years ago & this was my favorite Pho place. My husband and I were passing through and I have a cold so I wanted some pho. I ordered for pickup and they said it would be about 5 minuets. Great. I went to pick up. Friendly service. $12 for a chicken pho.... the price has definitely gone up, but hey, I always remembered them having great food so I was okay with it. Once I got to our hotel & pulled out the broth, I was surprised to see a very very light yellow, almost clear broth. I always remembered it being much darker but figured maybe they had switched it up. Once I tried it, I realized it was lacking flavor. Almost like they just boiled the chicken for 30 minuets instead of the authentic process.. They did not include a lemon / lime in the bag which I think is an essential addition, especially when the broth was already so bland. For the amount of money I spent, I received a very small portion of flavorless water broth, noodles & a few pieces of chicken. Really disappointed & wont be back. read more

Pho Thanh An - This is their large pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Gilroy, California

We had beef brisket and meatball pho, spring roll, some boba. It was great, so glad to find a good place closer to home. This place is definitely not fancy, they had some back stock on the tables, but our table and dishes were very clean. if we needed something I just gave the server a wave and she came right over, pretty busy at the time. We will be back for sure. read more

The Yelp information for credit card is wrong. They do accept credit card! The whole thing is self service and you are called when your order is ready for pick up. You will have to carry your soup from store to outside your table. And nobody would open the door for you. I just wonder how one person can do this: you have to use your both hands to carry your soup and you do have a third hand for opening the door. We came from Los Angles. We can eat inside or outside with good service. But here you still have to eat outside and get no service at all. Although they offer no service, they still charged service. And even worse, they asked for additional tip (started from 15%). read more

Food is expensive and not good. We ordered three items and the total is around $42 but they calculated to $48. Called them back and asked why so expensive and they said cc charge is around 3% but if pay with cash is $46. Still this number is higher than. $42. They can't collect tax when we pay cash. So Why is there a discrepancy? This place is just another shameful Ripped off restaurant. read more

No vegetarian options. Usually a busy place. Fast service, plenty of parking. Chicken Pho - Large servings

This review is for the pho. After a midday Costco excursion, I suggested to my mom that we try this place because neither of us had tried it before. Figured it couldn't be that bad with its 3.5 star average on Yelp, right? Wrong. The pho here is by far the worst that I've ever had. I ordered a pho dac biet xe lua, which is the large version of the bowl that has every sort of meat in it. The first disappointment that I tasted was the broth. There was very little character to it. It lacked all the spices that you expect from a good pho broth, as well as the umami taste you would expected for anything derived from meat or even with MSG. I would have been happier drinking from a can of chicken broth. The meat did not lend any flavor either. It accounted for the other big disappointment, actually. As anybody who ever eats meat can tell you, you need to cut against the grain to have good flavor. These guys cut perfectly with the grain for some reason. Also, the tendon came in oddly shaped chunks instead of thinly sliced pieces like you would expect from a good pho restaurant in San Jose. The prices aren't bad, and the bean sprouts and basil leaves are fresh, but they frankly do not matter when I would not pay at all to have anything like this ever again. Just go to San Jose or even Morgan Hill if you need a pho fix, or put your cravings aside and eat somewhere tastier like the Jack in the Box across the street. read more

Pho Thanh An - Looks can be deceiving. This bowl was utterly devoid of flavor. - Vietnamese Near Me - Gilroy, California

En route to Norcal, we stopped by to grab for some grub. I remembered this place fondly from my younger years, as I used to come and eat with the parents from our drives to and from LA. The employees were friendly and had us seated right away. We ordered and quickly got: Pho dac biet: The broth was lighter than I remembered and didn't have as much beef flavor as MSG. I think they used beef boullion (however you spell it) with a good dash of MSG instead of the old school stewing for forever and a day. Rice with pork skin, egg, and grilled pork: I asked to nix the rice and add more veggies to make it a salad, but the lady didn't understand me. There was a meager half handful of pork skin, and the egg and grilled pork went to the bf, who loved it. Grilled pork was flavorful and on the saltier side, and the egg nice and hot, but I honestly got the dish for the pork skin...the rest was just too much for me. Ironically, I liked the bf's pho dish more and he liked my rice dish. Neither was as amazing as I remembered, and I'm not sure I'd come here again on my drives up and down Cali. read more

Pho Thanh An - Pho dac biet - Vietnamese Near Me - Gilroy, California

Pro's: Still as delicious as it was in my childhood! Ordered their egg rolls, special combo pho with a guyabano shake with boba--boba is so soft and fresh--I loved it! Always loved their pho, solid flavor, solid bowl! Still is my favorite place to stop by when traveling to the Bay from central California! Cons: If anything their tendon could be softer and you have to wipe down tables yourself (there is cleaning materials provided outside), as well as being a bit pricey but it didn't take away from the experience and nostalgia!! They have outside dining and seating and will call your number through an intercom! Service was fast, easy, and super friendly! Bowls are served in to-go bowls. Definitely recommend Pho Thanh An! read more

Perhaps the 5th occasion over the years I've eaten here, unfortunately this time was my last. I understand the pandemic has taken its toll on service, but dirty tables with no one to clean them (but the customer) is no excuse. And why is that most establishments maintain open bathrooms except this one? I'd say for the same reason they won't even wipe the tables: laziness. Re food, the steak pho was ok, but certainly not worth the inflated 13.25 charged. The best Pho's from the most highly rated spots in San Jose cost never over $10. Vietnamese coffee however, was good, $5.25. read more

Pho Thanh An - Vietnamese Near Me - Gilroy, California

Decent pho joint. Broth was reasonably flavorful. The large portion was ridiculous. Medium would've been better. The spring rolls were also a bigger portion than I'm accustomed to. I did like that they were open early on Sunday morning. The place is cash only. I also dislike when soft drinks are cans not fountain. Definitely not a fancy place. Just pretty good. read more

my husband and I came here on a whim because we were looking for a good fun place to eat. We have tried many places around the South Bay Area and low and behold we find this gem. It was so close to our place that we were surprised we didn't have to go far for a good pho. I Had the vermicelli with egg rolls. My husband had the fur with many extra ingredients added. Of course there was a fee but he was more than impressed with how it all came together. I was so happy with my selection that I can't wait to come back and order the same thing again and again. The people were friendly the server was friendly and we even got a chance to say thank you to the Cook. My biggest regret was getting full too quickly I wanted to try more things on the menu but we will be back soon. read more

We don't live in the tea but drive through regularly to the Bay Area. We stopped here to have the best fish tacos at our favoriteMexican restaurant. To our dismay they were closed. So we decided to walk a couple of doors down and eat aT Pho Thanh An. When we walked in the place was busy (we got the last table). We were greeted and seated right away. Menu provided lots of choices and we settled on beef stew with wide rice noodles. We both had regulars which was plenty big enough. The beef was soooooo tender and well cooked. Broth was very good, not too salty. This dish isn't always done well, but this place nailed it. We will now have to choose between Pho and fish tacos when we make the trip north read more

Pho Thanh An - 4. Canh Ga Chien Bo Fried Chicken Wings - Vietnamese Near Me - Gilroy, California

I've only been here once. But, with that visit, i had no complaints but a small table for five people. If you want excellent service, then this is not the place. However, if you can get past those, you should give this place a try. Now, keep in mind, this review is based on a one time visit. FOOD: we ordered beef stew, grilled pork chop, another rice plate of pork with no bones, pho, fish cakes, egg rolls. I think all were great! Portions ate also good. I love that meat were cooked well. Note, beef stew was not thick. I like my beef stew thick. But, I'm not taking points for that because in fairness, it was good. read more

Pho Thanh An - Vietnamese Near Me - Gilroy, California

I did appreciate that this restaurant was very clean and not cramped at all. I can't complain about the service because let's be real, this is an Asian restaurant. I think I actually got pretty good service: my order came out quickly, nothing was missing or messed up. I got the large steak pho (#23) and shared spring rolls with my family. The spring rolls didn't have enough flavor, even with the peanut sauce. I think it needs some carrots and bay leaves. The steak pho wasn't that great. There wasnt that much beef and it was really dry and overcooked. At least they didn't put much MSG unlike other pho places. Their large is pretty big for $6.70 and it's filling so I can't complain about that. Hmm, I'd say this place is more like 3.5 stars. Not the best pho I've had but for Gilroy I'm sure it's as good as it gets. I'll probably be back but I'll try other dishes instead, like their #14 pho. read more

Ok Gilroy. Born and Raised in San Jose. Moving to Gilroy isn't the same when it comes to food. You work with what you have. This is the best spot to get your pho! Rice plates are amazing too. I like to get a fried egg on top of my rice dishes. Usually comes with it. It's Gilroy and I wish they were more places like this!! read more

Pho Thanh An - #53 BBQ beef, added 4 shrimp and an egg! To go amazing! - Vietnamese Near Me - Gilroy, California

I recently came back to eat at Pho Thanh An. This time, instead of getting my usual pho order, I tried #47, the BBQ chicken with vermicelli. I'm happy to report that the dish was delicious - loved the tangy fish sauce with chili! I still think this restaurant has excellent food for the price. The prices have understandably gone up since the last time I wrote a review, but food is still very affordable. Eat here! read more

Surprisingly great Pho! The broth was delicious as well as the spring rolls. Never too hot for Pho!

Wasn't a huge fan of the spring rolls but the chicken pho was tasty The chicken it's self was a little hard but the broth was flavorful Not of fan of paying extra for lemon and extra $1.00 for extra fried onion But overall good experience. Would return if in Gilroy but I'd skip the spring rolls read more
