    Beef Pho
    Stacy C.

    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.

    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.

    Lemongrass pork and egg roll with rice meal
    Kevin H.

    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!

    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

    Build Your Own Pho: meatballs, rare steak, brisket

    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.

    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!

    Crispy Tofu Bites.

    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!

I barely tried to get his attention from the corner of my eye, and he noticed immediately. I honestly don't know how he did that, but it was impressive. Since it was my first time there, I felt a little overwhelmed by the menu because there were so many options that sounded good. My friend ended up taking the lead on ordering, and we definitely ordered with our eyes because it turned out to be way too much food for just the two of us. We got the salmon spinach cream sauce udon, crispy onigiri bites, edamame, chicken karaage, and the salmon ikura seiro set. Out of everything, the crispy onigiri bites were my personal favorite. The chashu was incredibly flavorful and tender. It melted in your mouth and made each bite so satisfying. The salmon spinach cream sauce udon gave me pasta vibes, which I really enjoyed. The sauce was rich and comforting, and the flavors worked well together. The udon itself was a bit firmer than what I am used to, and not exactly my personal preference, but it was still delicious overall and paired nicely with the sauce. Overall, it was a really enjoyable first visit with great food and standout service. I would definitely come back next time with a better sense of portion control.

The Nam Vang came with sliced pork, ground pork, and one prawn in a clean, savory broth--light but flavorful. The filet mignon pho was a solid upgrade: tender beef, silky noodles, and a broth that leaned richer but still easy to sip. Noodles had a nice bounce in both bowls. I was craving a vermicelli bowl or bánh mì too, but heads up--they only serve pho and noodle soups here. No rice plates or sandwiches. Still, if you're in the mood for Vietnamese comfort food, this spot delivers fast and clean.

    Thank you to my bro and his fam for treating us out to some Mother's Day noods!!!…read more My bro and his family are massive fans of Kali Noodles + Tea Bar. Even with them moving out to the East Bay, they make periodic drives just to enjoy what KN has to offer. I've had one dining experience here previously and was not impressed. This lead to not returning. Fast forward 2.5 years or so, here I was again. Our large party of 9 arrived at opening hours and the owners were so very welcoming. The restaurant was clean and the condiments were in tip top shape. Our family's order was massive. We started the meal with xiu mai [Vietnamese pork meat balls] and Chinese donut sticks. This then continued with mi do bien, filet mignon and beef ball pho, & a variety of nam vang noodle versions. The great thing about Kali Noodles are the multiple options of noodles they provide. There are a number of combinations that could be made with the 6 offerings. The food was surprisingly really good- so much better than what my first visit was. The bowls were presented neatly but plated in a way where the large chunks of lettuce made the bowls seem a lot more fuller that it really was. The noodle soups also consisted a lot more broth than noodles. Having said that, the egg noodles are really really good!! The restaurant cooks them perfectly- chewy with a slight bite that keeps you wanting more and more. Hu tieu dai was unfortunately too mushy in texture for my liking. 4 stars overall. Customer service from the owners were exceptional. They were attentive to each person's order and were so welcoming. The food was good but maximize the deliciousness by strictly going for the thin egg noodles. You will not be disappointed and this recommendation is coming from a person who typically steers clear of this. I'd happily return.

You'll have to wait at least thirty minutes unless you get there extremely early. My party of nine was seated around 45 minutes after we first joined the waitlist. However, we were able to order our food ahead of time. The atmosphere of the restaurant was bustling and noisy, a super fun and casual spot. Our dishes arrived minutes after we sat down, which was impressive. There was also a variety of delicious side dishes, with various types of kimchi. The nine of us split two braised beef short rib dishes - and we were struggling to finish it all. The portion size is massive, which makes sense since it's a pretty penny. The meat was so tender, literally falling off the bone. There were a ton of potatoes, daikon, rice cake, and carrots as well. The entire dish was savory and delicious, pairing perfectly with rice. You can also specify your spice level. The medium spice was a fair amount of spice but not overpowering. I highly recommend getting the cheese on top, it provides a creamy contrast to the sharp flavors of the meat. I'm still thinking about the braised beef short rib - it was just that delicious!

They also have ice cream to end your meal. As for the meats, out of all the choices I'm a fan of their angus marbled beef slices and angus beef slices. The meats are good quality, not frozen, sliced thin, and cooked very fast. I got the tom yum broth and it was flavorful. It was cool that our server was able to accommodate my mom as she wanted the cheesy milk broth since it isn't offered on the AYCE menu. I was already a fan of their hot pots before the AYCE option, and now I enjoy it even more!
