As soon as we came in we got sat by a lady , where the sun was hitting our table very much so before we even ordered I asked if it was okay to sit at a table by the door to get air. She said no you can sit at another one (no where near the door). I said "wait you're not letting me sit by the door?" and she said super rude "okay but once you move you can't move again I don't want you to ask to move again." I was shocked that she even responded with that. So I grabbed my baby and left , if I'm paying for the food I don't see why it should bother her where I sit. She started speaking in her language probably speaking bad about me which doesn't seem professional at all. I can see why they have the stars They have, really bad customer service from the get go. read more

I've been eating at Pho Wagon for 7 or 8 years and generally happy with their offerings. The pho is fresh, with tasty broth- not the best I've ever had but a solid 4. Their lemongrass pork rice plates and spring rolls are also good, and consistent. The setting is clean. The reason I'm giving it only a 3 is the terrible customer service. I dined recently with two visiting relatives and the service was rushed; the old lady ignored us and when I finally got her to come over to our table, she was downright rude. Another guy was rushing through everything like his hair was on fire. The restaurant was about 3/4 full for lunch and we paid $65 or so for 3 lunches, so it's not cheap. I'll be looking for other pho restaurants after this. (feel free to recommend) read more

Got the pho special, which includes brisket, tripe, tendon, rare steak, and flank. The pho special (pho dac biet) usually comes with meatballs, but my order did not include any. The broth was light, and lacked the rich pho flavor I was expecting. I also ordered the chicken spring rolls, which were okay. They tasted like they were premade and had been sitting in the fridge rather than freshly prepared. Since this was a takeout order, I also did not receive any plastic utensils or chopsticks, which was disappointing. Portion sizes were small, and for the three items totaling around $60, it was not worth the price. read more

I've been dining at Pho Wagon since they opened about 13 years ago. If I remember correctly, the restaurant used to be a Burger King. They did a good job transforming it in to a Vietnamese restaurant. I hadn't eaten there in a few years until tonight. I'd never tried their pho before, but the reviews were positive. I had the beef pho delivered. The broth was extremely hot; I had to use pot holders to pour it into the bowl. They give you quite a bit of raw steak-- I couldn't believe how many pieces there were. Overall, the pho was very good, with flavorful broth that I enjoyed with the cilantro and onions they provide in a little bag. I also ordered the spring rolls with veggies, shrimp, and pork. They tasted fresh and delicious, and the peanut dipping sauce was very good, too. The pho is slightly more expensive than most places in San Jose. I don't mind paying more because of the large portions and because it tastes fresh and well prepared. read more

Nice family restaurant with good food. Sometimes I forget that this restaurant is here because it's a little bit hidden in a shopping center but the food is good and the people who work here are friendly. Fun trivia: this location used to be a Burger King. read more

Always consistent! I have ordered a bunch of different items from Pho Wagon including - lemongrass pork spring roll (harder to find these days), chicken pho, veggie pho, beef pho, lemongrass pork rice plate. Everything is consistent in flavor, the amount of food and the quality. Today I am enjoying the pork and egg roll with rice meal. Ordered to go and had great service on the phone. Plus it was ready when I arrived! read more

Food is ok. Service is bad. Prices are much higher than more authentic pho places. We have not been in a while and decided to try it again. Not a good idea. read more

Excellent, consistent, great pho and bahn mi. Even their rice plates hit! Service is spritely and friendly. And I like the music and artwork! Great ambiance. Highly recommended. read more

Ambience good, food good, this is a family favorite. Service also good. their bun mi is particularly good.

I would always drive by this place and one day decided to stop in for lunch. Upon walking in, we were greeted and sat right away. The nice older lady came over and took our order promptly. The restaurant wasn't full but Had a decent amount of people dining in. The ambiance is peaceful. The restaurant is clean and tables aren't sticky. The food came out pretty quick. They give a lot of noodles but you can ask for less. TBH I wasn't expecting much because of the area but the soup is clean and pretty decent. read more

The veggie pho is perfect! Light broth, good amount of tofu and veggies. The veggie fresh rolls are delicious too! The employees are kind, and although the place isn't fancy inside, the whole experience is worth dinning there. (I've been coming here for 12 years now!) read more

Service was acceptable. However, the food was not acceptable. The shrimp seemed like it was very old and overcooked, the pork was like leather and also seemed like it had been sitting around for a long time. Very poor quality food would not recommend eating here. read more

Your basic Pho. Nothing fancy schmancy. Small bowl is 17.50, large 19 A bit on the pricey end, good to get a craving but if you drive 8-10 min more you can find arguably better pho. Probably would come in a pinch as it's closer to Campbell pruneyard Meets the need, the service was fast. Ambiance is casual. Taste was aight read more

Came in on a Saturday night and this place can fill up during the later hours. Plenty of parking in the plaza but traffic can get busy due to all the to go orders. Started off with the fried shrimp which were great. They were a little hot so needed to let them cool down, but it also allowed them to become more crispy. I then moved onto a large bowl of make your own pho. Had the meatballs, rare steak, and brisket. This broth is so flavorful and came out piping hot. This place is clean and the service is friendly, but it is on the tad pricier side compared to other places. read more

My family has been going to and ordering from Pho Wagon since I was a kid! We dined in recently for dinner on a Tuesday so I wanted to write a review. I ordered the Vietnamese Chicken Salad and a Thai Tea. The Chicken Salad was huge, so tall! It was very refreshing though since it was hot out and just what I was craving, comes with a lot of chicken mixed in and a little bit of peanuts on the side. The Thai Tea comes in a tall glass also and was surprisingly pretty sweet. My mom custom-made her own pho and my grandma got a fried rice dish - both servings huge. My mom also got Coconut Juice which had coconut pieces in it. The staff was extremely kind as well, being very attentive and helping my grandma box her leftovers. Great family friendly and family owned feel restaurant! read more

First time here...ordered their brisket with tripe pho. And their pork rice plate without rice only veg. Pho had a tasty broth and the brisket was lean and soft. My grilled pork was yummy. Their picked veggies was delish. Service was spot on and they had a nice family style restaurant feel. read more

Pretty pricey pork vermicelli bowl @ $19 but the pork was so tough I was still chewing it 45 minutes later so the cost per time spent eating wasn't bad. read more

Food, ambience and service are average - not outstanding. But a star each for accessible location and for easy parking. TIP: Don't order the fried egg roll appetizer - you'll be charged over $9 for two, very small (3-4") rolls. Perhaps instead you can order an entree with an egg roll - which appears to be a $2 upcharge for one roll.. vs $4.50 per roll via the appetizer portion. read more

Clean with good service, I came for a weekday lunch with a friend and it was a nice experience. The menu listed all the classics and we started with some spring rolls that were tasty as well read more

Wanted to venture and try a new place so we went this last Wednesday. It wasn't necessarily cold but in between moving, working, schooling., and parental responsivities.. I haven't cooked in nearly 2 weeks. I move this upcoming Monday! Anyway. Read great reviews and wanted to try. Grateful I did. Parking wasn't an issue. This place can easily be missed since it's behind the gas station; accepts cards, takes phone orders, and they've partnered up w/ third party delivery services. Based on the calls and and orders staged for DoorDash and UberEats, I'd say that they are quite busy. The tables are spaced out and service was fast and friendly. The menu offers a variety and what I loved most is that they have a kid's portion for pho (comes w/ tai) but as we went about our meals, he wanted tripe so I ordered a side. The side we were given was extremely generous. My Pho Dac Biet was really goodm light and aromatic broth.. the crispy tofu is delicious, too. The chili sauce that accompanied it helped w/ the flavor otherwise it's pretty bland. We are not over this COVID BS yet, pls continue to support your local businesses! read more

Food is ok. Fresh. Overall weird experience though. Weird service and they never came and checked on us. They started turning the lights off and we were still eating. Not the cleanest place. Would not go back because it was super odd. read more

The food was 5 stars but also very expensive. A large bowl of combo beef pho was $23, which is quite steep. But it was delicious, great broth, and wonderful flavor. The service was good, and the music in the background made for a pleasant lunch. The pricing shocked me, as I was looking for something quick and not so expensive. read more

I had always wanted to try out Pho Wagon whenever I visit the yarn store nearby and today one of my friends came with me to my yarn store trip so we checked out Pho Wagon. Starting from when we first entered the restaurant was well decorated and tables were spaced far apart to observe social distancing. It was overall very clean compared to other Vietnamese restaurants I've been to. The staff wears masks and gloves when handling food and tables are thoroughly sanitized between customers. Today I tried out their rare steak and brisket pho with Thai iced tea and both did not disappoint! They offer small and large bowls for the pho which was not listed in the menu but the menu does offer add-ons for extra noodles and meat. The noodles were delicious and absorbed the flavor the soup well and the Thai iced tea impressed us in which it was not watered down or overly sweet. read more

Got to go from this place and the food was decent. Service was quick and fast. It's a bit on the pricey side, but overall, everything has just gone up due to inflation. read more

Pho Wagon is a reliable choice for a consistently high quality meal. They won't knock your socks off with the regular menu but you will never hear them say they are out of noodles either. The portions are good, prices are fair and the staff is friendly. Something I have not seen before, they serve the chopped peanuts on the side in a sealed container for those with potential food allergies. read more

Friendly staff, great vegetarian options, bathrooms are clean. Parking is easy, food is tasty. Love the fried tofu bites!

Delicious quality food. I love the Bahn-mi pork sandwich. We also had the Vietnamese Chicken Salad. It was huge and had great flavor. The pho here is excellent as well. Our go-to place in Willow Glen! read more

I ate at Pho Wagon from I think 2014-2024. They have been my comfort food spot and I absolutely love the food and staff! They're always fast and serve delicious food. I recently moved away though. But I definitely recommend this spot to others in the area. The atmosphere is calm and welcoming. Highchairs available for little ones. read more

I went there as it is the only restaurant in the plaza that is opened at that time. The service was great, environment was great. But definitely true food is overpriced, the wonton soup I got is like $20 with tax. I ordered wonton, bbq pork and bak Choy, and I'm so happy that they can order the soup without noodles. But when I'm back home, I noticed the portion of the food is wayyyyyyy to less compare to how much this cost, and they forgot to give me bak Choy too :( Plus the wonton, you can tell it's definitely not fresh. The meat in the wonton tastes really weird, the soup is pretty decent tho. Anyway, 10 out of 10 won't go back read more

It's hard to find decent pho in Campbell. I think rents are too high. I was happy to try this out and liked the pho. Usually, we drive out to Milpitas or off Story, but we like this place because it's close. read more

I ordered the fried rice and it tasted like it was day old. I also ordered the spring rolls and they were ok

All the food is amazing! Well prepared, well delivered in a timely manner. The setting is peaceful and clean! This is hands down the best Pho spot in San Jose today!!

Came here with the lunch krew after a busy morning at work, and was pleasantly surprised! Pho Wagon is located along Meridian in a somewhat hidden plaza. As we exited my car, the three of us could smell a sweet aroma coming from all around the plaza. Yum! Once we entered, it felt as if we were transported to some Spanish terrace - acoustic guitar versions of Frank Sinatra's greatest hits, terra cotta roof tiles lined the kitchen area, and the natural light from the day's sun shined through the windows. We were seated right away and ordered the following: 11a. aka build your own pho bowl (pick up to 4 meats) I personally picked the steak, tendon, tripe, and meatball as my four meat options. Our food came out and we devoured it just as quickly as it arrived. One of my co-workers even drank all her broth. Damn. I enjoyed that the meatballs were super flavorful and not full of gristle. Nom. Totally a fan of this place now! The atmosphere is calming and not rushed (unlike House of Pho on Hillsdale). The food is tasty and doesn't make me sleepy. The service is nice and quick. Will definitely be back! read more

The broth was clear and tasted very clean. It had good pho flavor. The owner was really nice and attentive. The only complaint I had about this place was that the noodles was a bit too Al dente for my liking. Otherwise it's not a bad place for it being reasonably close to work. read more

Came here for a quick lunch with a friend and was very pleased! The Thai iced tea was just the right amount of sweetness, not bland and watered down like other places. You can actually taste the tea! I ordered the wonton soup with bok choy and egg noodles. The dish was very comforting overall and really nice for an upset stomach or cold. After stirring around the broth for a while, I could tell that it wasn't made with any powders or concentrates, which I was very impressed with. I would definitely return and recommend to anyone looking for some comfort food! read more

Already went here like 3 times in a span of a month with my cousin. Their fried chicken wings are the bomb as well as their wanton soup. I get the wanton soup with egg noodles. Our most recent visit, we tried the crispy tofu bites appetizer and it was super delicious (even more so when you eat it with the soup). Why didn't we find this place earlier! We found this place since I wanted to check out an old friend's place near the Willow Glen area and afterwards we wanted somewhere to eat, pho-wise. So this pho popped up within the vicinity. A very nice restaurant & quite clean & nice inside & also loving the entrance with the plants. It's quite home-y with a family-friendly environment. Will definitely keep coming here for more soup now that it's getting cold out. We have possibly found our new favorite go-to Pho place! 'Til next time, we will come back... hungry for more! read more
