Hidden Gem, 5/5 on all dishes so far. My fiancee is Vietnamese and she has high standard of Vietnamese food. She has confirmed this is one of the best Hu Tieu and Bot Chien in San Jose. I was shocked when she said that. I came back by myself and tried their food. Wow......... everything was delicious. We even brought our friends a couple times afterwards. Our friend said the Bo Ne was a hit too. Strongly recommend read more

My friend and I stopped by when it was pretty empty, so the service was quick and smooth. We were both craving hu tieu kho, and it definitely hit the spot. The flavors were comforting and satisfying, just what we were looking for. That being said, I do wish there was a bit more meat in the portion. It was still good, but adding a little more would have made it even better. The overall vibe of the place felt like a home cooked meal, simple, cozy, and comforting. It is the kind of spot you go to when you want something warm and familiar. I would come back again when I am craving hu tieu kho. read more

The space is cramped. The food isn't particularly tasty. I ordered the Bo Ne. For $20, the portion was pathetic - just two fried eggs and 5-6 cubes of meat. It's overpriced and not special. For a better meal, consider buying beef from Costco. However, the service was subpar; our table didn't have all the necessary utensils and napkins, requiring multiple requests to obtain them.And the water was served inside a espresso cup terny tiny. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Tan Dinh Cafe - Bo Ne - Vietnamese Near Me - San Jose, California

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. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

Was a busy Saturday lunch but had to try their Bo Ne' as this is what I liked from Vietnamese food lately. We tried another place and had to compare. This was just opened and offered soft open hours last year. The lady owner was very nice and welcoming. She was also our server. They are located in the Viet Town plaza. This restaurant was packed and we had a small table. We barely were able to fit our food in the table. We had their Bo Ne' and it was pretty good but did not like the meatball. Offered salad with it. You can choose with rice or garlic noodles. I do not like the garlic noodles and did not go with the Bo Ne'. We didn't get to try anything else but maybe next time. [12R, 2025] read more

We ended up getting the turmeric fish, Bo ne, and the banh mi brunch on the special menu and everything was wonderful. The portions were large and we were also offered artichoke water, which we were initially skeptical about, but it was so good with the added toppings at the bottom. Service was quick and there weren't many customers inside at the time. read more

Solid lunch spot! I plan on coming back for their Bo Ne again (this was around $20~) The tender steak, yolky egg, sauce, and pate paired well with the toasted baguette. Recommend trying this dish if you're in the area and want a protein packed lunch. Service was quick. We ordered 2 plates but the chef only cooked 1, so we waited a bit for the second plate. No problem with that, as it came out under 10 mins. The waitress was nice and attentive. She asked if we wanted salad and baguette refills throughout the meal! read more

My friend was on a mission to find other Bo Ne restaurants in the San Jose area as alternatives to Bo Ne Phu Yen on Tully Road. So this early Sunday morning Tan Dinh fit the bill. On Sundays it is open early which is very nice. Parking early in the morning is an excellent choice as it gets really crowded later in the day. The restaurant itself is fairy simple and clean. The menu is not very large with multiple items but we did come to try the Bo Ne. It did not take too long for our order to arrive but something struck me. The server did not ask as to how I wanted the steak to be cooked. From what I received it looked like it was cooked medium. Everything that was served was very good except for the baguette. There was nothing special about it when compared to the ones served at Phu Yen. Even taking that into consideration, Tan Dinh is a good alternative for Bo Ne. read more

Came here with a friend and ordered the bó nè since we'd been craving it for the longest time. A good sizzing plate dish during the cold winter months helped warm us right up! She opted to get the tomato rice while I got the baguette, I'd personally opt for the rice next time since the sweetness and acidity added a nice kick of flavor to the bó nè compared to the baguette, which was rather standard. This is a gym bro's perfect spot, this plate comes with so much protein. The beef is so tender and juicy and the paté was incredibly savory and rich. This plate has so much flavor and texture at an excellent price, especially since the ingredients can be pricy! read more

Tan Dinh Cafe - Bo ne - Vietnamese Near Me - San Jose, California

Tan Dinh Cafe has the best Bo Ne! I've tried this dish in many restaurants, and nothing compares to Tan Dinh Cafe. They really have this recipe down. The onions are sautéed with the marinated beef. The beef is tender and perfectly cooked. The meatball is well seasoned, and the pate spread has a great flavor. It also comes with perfectly cooked eggs, a baguette, and a side salad. The dish is a 5/5! I usually come with my family, and we also have some other dishes to share. We had the Hu Tieu Nam Vang, which is also a 5/5 dish! There are lots of delicious flavors in one dish. My mother-in-law loves the glass noodle dish with seafood. It is not my favorite dish, but because I am usually set on getting the Bo Ne, I don't pay attention to other dishes here. Overall, I 100% recommend this restaurant, especially if you are looking for a good Bo Ne. The restaurant is small but we are usually seated right away and the food comes out fast. If you are in the area, this is a must try read more

The perfect addition to the plaza! Bó Nè is SO GOOD and this shop makes it well. Tender beef, very well flavored, and they don't skimp on ingredients. For $1 extra, you can sub the rice for noodles (Nui) and there's also the option to have baguette. The best part for me was the paté. YUUUUM. 10/10 recommend. The meatball was also well made. I wish they gave more than one because it was so tasty. PRO TIP: Try the artichoke juice... pretty sweet. read more

i've been on a challenge to find every spot that makes Bo Ne, and what I mainly look for is flavor of the meat, how soft and tender the beef is, how well the egg is cooked, and how crunchy the bread is. And Tan Dinh cafe did not disappoint, I came on a Saturday morning, lot was FULL and there was a grand opening for a store right across, but I was so glad that the restaurants were not as packed. Much of this plaza has lines out the door for all the coffee and boba shops. So to be able to sit down quickly and order was a plus. The staff was nice and took our order with no issues, the price for 2 sizzling plates was $19.50 each without tax. I got the regular Bo Ne with bread and my partner got it with french fries, which were pretty good. Would definitely be back here! read more

Ordered 2 Bo Ne the other day. Not the worst I've had in the South Bay but I probably won't come back. The meat was good but something about the pate was very off putting. Tasted very canned I'm guessing? Everything else about it was fine though. I think my favorite part of the dish was the meatball read more

Legit. What a happy Friday Bo Ne brunch meal with baguette here. It was exactly what I've been wanting to crave for. Yes, the good eggs. Absolutely enjoyed every bite of it. I arrived on the dot 10 AM. They were just setting up and doors were open. Credit cards accepted here. Ladies were friendly and welcoming. Good service as needed. I already know that I would be coming back to try other variations of Bo Ne. Good variety menu and good vibes. Opening hour is always less stressful in Vietnam Town. Seats and tables are spacious and comfortable. Delicious Bo Ne was definitely a 10/10 for me. Very decent for just under $20. Yes, soft/tender beef, meatballs, onions, two sunny side up eggs, etc. Good quality and easy to cut. It's always the flavor of the juicy sauce on the plate that makes it finger licking good to dip bread into. They have a few variations if you ask for it. Comes with your selection of rice/noodle/or baguette and green salad smothered in vinaigrette. Pate spread. Yummy. Baguette was super fresh/soft/crispy, so good to start with. I didn't have to wait too long inside. It was exactly what I had in mind for Bo Ne today. My expectations were met. $4 lemon iced tea was perfect in taste and cup size was generous for $4 range. It's the type of place that makes you want to revisit again. I'll be coming back next time. Love it! read more

We went to Tan Dinh because we saw that they had bo ne, and we wanted to give it a try! The sizzling plate was plenty flavorful, and you got two eggs with a meatball as well. It's exactly how you would want your bo ne to be served, and we weren't disappointed! The servers mostly speak Vietnamese, but they can accommodate you in English as well. Would definitely visit again! read more

Newish addition to the plaza is great! We got Bo Ne, Fried chicken with rice, Cha Gio and Goi Cuon, Caphe Sua da. Bo Ne with warm baguette were so comforting - fried eggs, Patte, meatballs were all great. The side salad was perfect pairing to break rich meat, protein rich dish. If you want to explore Viet breakfast - highly recommend this place. Fried chicken is very different compared to southern, korean fried chicken. Chicken was juicy, rice perfectly flavored. A must try. Cha Gio was crispy and had plenty of filling. If you want to explore different types of vietnam foods, this is a must try place. read more

Amazing food and great service. Their Bo Ne and hu tieu kho with chewy noodles is insanely good.

Came in after a recommendation from a friend that lives in the area. Great service from Tina as she walked my golf bud and I through the menu and options. Very thorough and patient experience. Everything sounded good, so we both got the Bo No and the Banh Bot Taro Chien Trung. Since we had a huge (too much) bread with the burger dog at Cinnabar (not that great), we opted for the tomato rice with our Bo Ne. But, since Tina knew it was our first time, she actually gave us some bread to eat it with the bread (pâté spread) the traditional way. Will be back next time I'm in the area! read more

The Bone Ne comes out on the hot plate, and has two eggs ( I think it was limited during the egg shortage). The inner part of the bread is soft and fluffy. My wife got the Hu Tieu and it was alright.

Great spot for bo ne which is Vietnamese steak and eggs served with a fresh baguette. The bo ne has changed slightly between their soft opening and this month. The first time I had it, the sauce was more flavor packed and umami, and it also included chicken sausages (the Amy Lu breakfast ones from Costco - yes, I know my Costco products well). The second time I had it more recently, it was less umami but still good. I slightly prefer the bo ne in the Lion Plaza Food Court but would still come here if when I have a craving for it. The banh trang tron (rice paper salad) is also a signature item here and is so, so good. I highly recommend it! This place isn't very big so it can get busy and be a little bit of a wait, but the service is pretty good and food comes out relatively quickly. They have expanded their menu quite a lot since they first opened (and have a more formal printed menu now with English translations) so I'm looking forward to trying more dishes in the future! read more

It's been hard to get a decent Hu Tieu kho in the area. This place has been around for a while and I've been coming a few times. The sauce is more on the sweet side, which I like. Bo ne is also decent. Currently, they have changed their menu to let you choose what type of noodles you want for your soup. Parking can sometimes suck in this plaza so plan accordingly.

Glad San Jose's Little Saigon has a hidden gem like Tan Dinh Cafe! The food was extraordinary! We ordered two Bo Ne's, one Hu Tieu Nam Vang, and the Mango Rice Paper Salad. My friends got the Bo Ne's while I got the Hu Tieu Nam Vang and we shared the Mango Rice Paper Salad. The Hu Tieu Nam Vang came with a clear rich bone broth on the side of dry rice noodles with different types of meat. I like to dress up my Hu Tieu Nam Vang usually with spice so having the broth on the side wonderfully complimented the sauciness of my noodles. The Mango Rice Paper Salad was special, instead of the usual rice paper that Is soaked with water to make spring rolls this rice paper was drenched with delicious sauce along with mango shreds and quail eggs. It proved a very savory snack. I didn't get to eat the Bo Ne, but from my friend's perspective, Tan Dinh also made that well. If you're looking for something special, Tan Dinh is the place to eat! read more
