Baguettes for Bo Ne
Eric Y.

Come for: Bo Ne Know that: ask for baguettes to come out when the Bo Ne is ready I love a good Bo Ne and Tan Dinh cafe definitely hit the mark. Their Bo Ne has steak that is incredibly tender, the pate is flavorful, sausage is meaty, and the egg is delicious. This paired with a crunchy exterior and pillowy interior baguette is all I can ask for. The service is pretty quick. They did bring out the baguettes way earlier than the Bo Ne and so it got cold but the time the Bo Ne came out. Nezt time I'd ask them to hold off until both are ready. As an added bonus, parking is easy because it is inside of Little Vietnam. Overall, come for some great Bo Ne!

I came here to try the Bo Ne. It was my first time tryign this Vietnamese dish. I loved it. It was so good. Beef was tender. Dish came sizzling on the table. Eggs still runny. Sauce was bubbling.Onions perfecty carmelized. Came with a side salad and a big French baguette. I was fearful of not having enough to eat and anting to try something else on the menu. I ordered a plan noodles with broth. The broht with the noodle soup was delciious, nothing I ever had. Clean, sweet from the green onions and chicken used to boil the broth. And a great selection of different noodle selections. Service: Staff is friendly. Staff primarily spoke Vietnamese and struggled with my English but I pointed to the item I wanted. Unfortunately came at the opening of the place, table I chose to sit at had crumbs that probably remianed from the previously night.Bathroom was clean. Staf was friednly and kind. Refilled my water when I finished. I would definitely come back for Bo Ne. Parking is difficult. I came at 10am and there was very few spots in front.

I love bringing my non-Viet friends here and making them try the Bò Né, it's always fun watching their first bite! Honestly, it's just as good as the famous spot, but without the crazy wait, and the place feels cleaner too. The service is friendly and the food always hits the spot. My only suggestion would be to update the menu since it looks a little worn out. But hey, as long as the food keeps coming out this good, I'll keep coming back.

I'm thankful my cousin in law is Vietnamese as phuc. He basically ordered and got us seated with the fam and showed us the way of his people. He said that this is literally one of a handful of places that serve the Bo Ne dish. The bo ne dish alone is worth a visit if not multiple visits. It's Steak on a sizzling plate with the gravy and oil sizzling in there with a sunny side runny egg. You're also served a baguette that rips with such softness. You can eat it however you want, if you wana use the baguette as the sandwich and put all the foods in there and dip it into the egg and sizzling gravy oil. You could say, the bo ne gave me a bo-ner Omg. And you get the pâté, which is just a poor man's foie gras. Or duck/pork liver. So get that and put that in the sizzling plate and it will all melt together. Jesus mothertrucking Christ what an experience we had. Me and the wife ordered one and we had to order another one to eat some and get the rest to go. Parking here sucks but the parking garage is a safe bet. Might still get crowded but that's just life. There's some outdoor seating too but it can get windy. Which is fine. The other thing, I forgot the name but it's a soup on the front of the menu. Ask to get the noodles dry and then you get the soup on the side. It's like tinola. You swig the soup and eat the noodles. The dry noodles bowl, you want to stir it up because there's saucey goodness at the bottom to mix it up together with.

Service: Came here on a Wednesday afternoon. Got seated right away and put in our order quickly, but food took a long time to come out. Tables sat before us seemed to also wait awhile for their food. Do not come hangry haha. Food: ordered the bo ne with garlic noodles. The plate came out sizzling, which I liked. The steak was a bit unseasoned, but I liked the sauce and it was tender. Pate was good (made me regret not getting the bread). Overall decent dish and would order again. Ambiance: pretty small place. Tables were not well stocked with utensils and condiments. Had to grab needed stuff from other tables. Some flies seen due to open doors

My friend was really craving some good Vietnamese food in VNtown, so we decided to stop by here for lunch. She got the bo ne & I got the pork & shrimp soup dumpling, which comes with a side of chinese donut & a salad. She rlly enjoyed her bo ne and I tasted one of her meatballs, which were good. I wanted something light & soupy, so the pork & shrimp soup dumpling was perfect. I liked the bok choy pieces that were in it, and the donut is great way to end the meal.

Hu Tieu Nam Vang - 1/10

We have been wanting to try this place, so we arrived on a Saturday noon. It wasn't busy, and we were seated right away. We ordered the Bo Ne since we'd heard good things about it, and also tried their specialty, the Hu Tieu. Honestly, the Hu Tieu was sooo disappointing. The noodles were super soggy and oily, and all I could really taste was the sauce. The soup was extremely salty and had an overpowering MSG flavor. I'm not sure how to sugarcoat it, it just wasn't good. The Bo Ne was decent, simple enough, but the sauce and overall flavors didn't quite come together. The service, however was great. Our server was attentive and made sure we got everything we requested. Overall, I probably won't be coming back, as there are better Bo Ne and Hu Tieu places in the area.

I came here for lunch one day, in particular for the Bo Ne (steak and eggs) recommended by some friends. The Bo ne (steak and eggs) came in a sizzling plate. The meat was tender, sauce was a touch too sweet for my liking. It also had nicely cooked sunny side up eggs, some pate, onions and bell peppers as well. This also came with a side salad and a baguette. Everyone who was eating here also ordered this dish, for $18 it's definitely worth. Also ordered their hu tieu wet version and half rice noodle, half egg noodle. it had liver, kidney, quail egg, fried pork fat, pork skin, slices of pork, pork bone, ground pork, chives, shrimp, squid. It also came iwth a you tiao, chinese doughnut. Portion wasn't that big, but decent flavor.

The vibes here are super chill, definitely gives off that family owned feel, like they really care about the food and the people. I found this spot on TikTok and figured I'd check it out. Gotta admit, I'm pretty new to Vietnamese food, so I'm no expert or anything, but ... I loved the Bo Ne. Like seriously, it blew me away. I've already been back twice just for that dish. There's just something about the combo of the bread, eggs, pate, and that super tender beef that hits so hard. Total comfort food. Everyone I've brought here has been raving about it. Next time I go, I'm thinking I'll finally try something else on the menu, but it's gonna be tough not ordering the Bo Ne again.

Great food at a affordable price. Should definitely try the Bo Ne too. All plates will fill you up

the staff we spoke with was super friendly! service and food was really good! i ordered what theyre known for, bò né! this was something ive never tried before and turns out its a new favorite dish of mine! the dish consists of sizzling steak, eggs, and grilled onion covered in sauce on a hot sizzling serving skillet! the dish also came with baguettes! 4/5 stars due to cleanliness of restaurant, there were flies flying around and landing on our food as well...

This might be my new Bo Ne spot! Delicious sizzling plate of beef, pate, sunny side up eggs, baguette or garlic noodles for around $20! Secret hack is to get the garlic noodles! If you're eating with another person - do garlic noodles and baguette so you get the best of both worlds. The restaurant is on the smaller side with a few tables for 4 and 2. The service was quick and friendly. I'm definitely recommending and taking friends and family here!

This place is my new obsession, I would eat it every meal if I could. My mouth literally salivates thinking about it. I initially came for bo ne but saw that the person next to me had a bowl of hu tieu so I decided to try both. I normally am very particular about hu tieu because I find that most places don't make it right but theirs proved me wrong. On top of having good flavor and sizable portions, I reeally liked the egg noodle they use, it had good texture and a nice chew. I don't know which I liked more, their hu tieu or bo ne. They're so different but both were so soooo delicious. The bo ne was perfect. The baguette was soft but toasty, the sauce was a nice balance of sweet n savory, and their meat was tender. I liked that their menu was simple and not overwhelming. I will definitely be back!

The pork and shrimp net egg rolls were perfectly crispy and packed with flavor, and the bánh khọt egg rolls were just as amazing. I loved wrapping everything in the fresh greens they provided, dipping each bite into the fish sauce, and adding a little sriracha for extra kick. Yes, the fish sauce smell lingers on your hands, but it's completely worth it because the flavors are incredible. There's plenty of parking since it's located in a strip mall, which made it easy and convenient to visit. If you love crispy-style egg rolls, I highly recommend this spot. I'll definitely be stopping by every time I'm in the area.

Everything was delicious, even the pairing with the fish sauce and vegetables were fresh and clean. The fish sauce tasted like my mom's homemade fish sauce.

Thank you for having this spot in ESSJ and I'll be back for their catering trays for my next gathering.

It was a really hot day on a Wednesday when we came by. Inside felt stuffier than outside so we opted to sit outside. We did an early lunch slightly before noon, but even on a weekday there were a lot of other customers. Devin got the #1 Special Rice Roll and I got the #10 Bun Rieu. I was a bit skeptical of getting a hot noodle soup on a hot day, but I figured it'd be great to find a solid bun rieu spot closer to me than my current defaults all the way in Milpitas. The #1 came out first and rather quickly, the #10 took a bit longer but wasn't a long wait by any means. The first thing I noticed was that the plate of add-ins was rather unique, I've never received perilla leaves or banana flowers with my bun rieu before. The broth had great flavor and this soup did come with pork blood cubes. I would definitely come back for the bun rieu. Hot soup noodle soup on a hot day wasn't actually so bad. I tried some of the Special Rice Rolls and felt unsure, maybe it's an acquired taste but I wasn't an immediate fan.

The meat is so soft (I ask for medium rare) and it's cooked perfectly. It's super easy to eat and the flavor is so yummy. The red rice has a nice flavor and buttery taste to it. One thing I wanted to note is that I asked for no bell peppers and they cooked the onions perfectly. It's soft and pairs so well. I would definitely not ask for the do chua (carrot and daikon) and just sub it for extra lettuce next time. I'm literally craving the shaken beef plate again omg I gotta go back asap!

My wife and I tried it for the first time, and you can tell right away this place has been around and knows what it's doing. Simple setup; steady crowd even on a Sunday night; always a good sign. I ordered the large chicken pho, and my wife had the chicken fried rice, which she really enjoyed. The pho was excellent; rich, flavorful broth; great noodles; and a portion size that humbled me. I couldn't quite finish it, which doesn't happen often. Only minor note; I would've liked a few more vegetables, but I'm sure they would've brought more if I asked. Service is quick and efficient. Like many traditional pho spots, you eat first, then go up to the register and tell them your table number to pay; seasoned move is to remember your number and handle it like a regular. Five stars from me. I'll definitely be back; next time I've got my eye on the brisket. Honestly, it's tough to find really good pho in this part of San Jose without heading up to North San Jose or Milpitas, but if you're in the Cambrian area, this might be your spot.
