    Soup With bone dry noodle
    Kimm N.

    Food 5 Really tasty (& sweet) broth minus msg. They provide real fresh & big shrimps and fish balls in their seafood noodle soup. The tofu spring roll was really good too. Service 5 Fast serving upon order Ambiance 5 Clean with nice decor. Will definitely come back with family to try their full 4-6 course meal (which offers very reasonable price).

    Hu Tieu Mi Dac Biet
    Henry D.

    Rong Bien is one of my dad's favorite spots, and since I hadn't been in a while, I decided to check it out. I ordered the large hu tieu dac biet, which I noticed most tables were getting. The bowl came with a generous amount of noodles, but the meat portion didn't quite match the noodle ratio. Next time, I'd probably go with the regular-sized bowl for better balance. The soup on the side had a large beef bone, though it didn't have much meat on it. The broth was light and tasty, which I really enjoyed. The service could have been better, of course, but I came at a busy time.

    I been for while I came back to San Jose for Asian market shopping trip. The name of restaurant ' rong biển " was attracted me. Friday at noon time it was perfect for luncheon. I was impress how nice and clean inside. The service is excellent and the foods very good, soon their bring the steam clams with lemongrass, Nam Vang noodles, and butter garlic lobster, i know right away this is my great choice. I think this is the best foods so far, compared I remembered how good from the past used to be. Love it , love it, love it. I can not wait another trip to try something else on the menu. BRAVO " rong biển " will see you soon.

    Nem Nuong Cuon Nha Trang
    David H.

    Came by for here for lunch for a quick bite. Food was good! Wished the nam nuong cuon had more nam to it but overall it was still good. Also had the ga chien nuoc mam as well. That was also good and was gone before I could snap a picture. Definitely will be back to have a family style dinner here soon!

    It's always a good time whenever my family and I come to Rong Bien Restaurant. Our bellies leave happy and full, & the service isn't too shabby either. Shout out to the Boss Lady who is always smiling, friendly, and sweet. Another notable mention is the tall, slender young man who is always willing to help and is very polite. YOU BOTH ENSURE OUR AMAZING VISITS EACH AND EVERY TIME! While Rong Bien has a ton of food to choose from, there are just a few highlights that keep my family and I coming back for more. We recommend their: - hu tieu/mi special dry noodles because the portions are great, food is always prepared perfectly, and unlike other restaurants who automatically include the special sauce in your bowl, RB provides you with a bottle table-side. Use as little or as much as your heart desires. -oc len Xao dua [coconut snails] are fantastic- sauce is so good I catch myself slurping the sauce like soup!! Flavors are well balanced and isn't overly sweet nor is it not sweet enough. -ruot heo chien don [deep fried, crispy intestines] is a must!! The intestines are cleaned thoroughly leaving you with a nice crunchy bite. 5 stars for the delicious flavors, great service, and the restaurant is super clean!

    Stir-fried Lobster w/ Butter & Garlic
    Cindy N.

    I've visited this restaurant several times now, and while the food usually delivers, the service leaves a lot to be desired. Let's start with the positives: stir-fried Lobster with Butter & Garlic--has consistently impressed me. The flavor is rich and good, and the lobster is always cooked just right. It's definitely a go-to dish for me and has never disappointed. Most of the other dishes I've tried here have been pretty good as well. The flavors are generally bold and good. It's clear the kitchen knows what they're doing when it comes to cooking seafood. The only dish that didn't hit the mark for me was the Stir-fried Lobster in Tamarind Sauce--it just didn't work for my taste, with the sauce overpowering the natural flavor of the lobster. Unfortunately, the service is where things really fall short. The staff is not very attentive, and on more than one occasion, I've had to wait too long just to get someone's attention. One particular experience stands out: I asked for a 4-5 pound lobster, and when they said they didn't have that size, I told them I'd pass on it. Instead of being understanding, the woman taking the order gave me attitude and didn't return to our table at all after that. That kind of behavior really takes away from what could be a great overall experience.

    Hu tieu nước
    Tram N.

    This is my favorite noodle soup flavor of all the shops in San Jose, it's almost like the noodle soup flavor in Saigon,plus their quail eggs are fresh not the canned one

    Fresh coconut!! Tastes so good for summer!

    My husband and I came here for dinner, they have very good collection for Vietnamese food. We order Cá Kho, Canh Chua they are so tasty . I like how they offer Hot pot , family dinner , and appetizers. I like how they have fresh coconut juice. It makes me feel like i am in Asia.

The salted egg yolk fried chicken wings were awesome. They come out looking super red, but they are not spicy. Great flavor, super good, and very yummy. The cumin lamb was excellent too. It had a little spice, but not too bad, and the lamb was really soft. The mapo tofu with pork was good, but very spicy. The tofu itself was good. The Sichuan high wok was tasty, but it got spicier and spicier the more I ate it, so just be ready for that. Honey walnut shrimp came out very crispy and the sauce was light. The flavor was not too bad, but the shrimp flavor did not come through as much. The Yunnan rice noodle soup with pork and pickled cabbage was good, and the soup itself had nice flavor, but I wish it had more meat. Beef and scallion dumplings were average. Sauteed greens were solid and definitely necessary to balance out the meal. Service was relatively quick, which was nice since we ordered a good amount of food. Everything came out at a good pace, and the meal felt easy overall. Nothing too fancy on the service side, but it got the job done. The inside feels like a big cafeteria. It is fine, but not really a place you go for ambiance. It was also a little hot inside, which made the spicy dishes feel even spicier. Overall, Home Eat is a good spot for flavorful Chinese food, especially if you like spicy dishes and salted egg yolk fried chicken wings.

Other than a few items coming out less than warm, (and yes I'm not talking about the items that come out cold already) all of us really enjoyed everything! Big problem though, the service. Waiter is very much not attentive to anyone. Doesn't look customers in the eye, provides minimal service, hell, we had to ask the support staff to bring us chopsticks for food we had delivered to us 10 minutes ago, which grew cold. He never checked in on us, and we were charged 20% gratuity since we were 12 people. I don't mind auto-gratuity, but when the service is nonexistent, it really doesn't sit well. Overall it was a good experience, but the service is the deciding factor of anyone one of us 12 returning. Really unfortunate service from our waiter, other support staff seemed really nice, but he wasn't in charge of taking care of us, sadly. We were thoroughly ignored. Again, food was good, but service was so poor that this review is mainly negative. Edit: to top is off, delivered the wrong food twice, we cancelled our pork belly buns because they took too long/he ordered mala buns for us instead. Another addition: charged us twice for sea salt cream that we didn't order, and tried to say that we did order it.

Unfortunately it was a poor representation of the dish I loved there. The batter was too much and the dish felt heavy. The hot oil or sauce they had felt old and extremely vinegary as well, I would recommend avoiding it.
