#2 combination Banh mi
Jessica Z.

Banh mi was solid -- generous portion. Flavor was good, but I would've loved a bit more veggies for better balance. 4/5 The spot gives off mom-and-pop vibes, which I always appreciate. The lady who helped me with my order was friendly and welcoming. Would return to try other items on the menu such as their rice plates, noodle soups and hot food bar.

At first I wanted to dropped by another Vietnamese sandwich place, but they ran out of bread near closing time. Anyways, I yelped the nearest and found Thanh Huong. I ordered the following bang mi: Shredded pork with skin Bbq pork Too bad they didn't had pork belly so I went with bbq pork. While waiting, one of the staff was mopping and accidentally bumped my back without saying sorry which was rude. The taste of the bang mi was just okay for us. Not enough meat and veggies. Never going back and next time will go early to my other favorite bang mi joint.

Pork porridge 14.75

Iconic Vietnamese deli/bakery/fast food restaurant. There used to be many locations and brands when starting in the 80s. Most of the owners have since passed away and nobody wants to work long hours without benefits anymore in the land of stock options. This is the last one which still has the variety and low prices similar to 45y ago. Much more diverse menu options than a bahn mi only place. Used to be multiple locations now only 1 for this brand. Changing demographics. Very high volume of customers buying 1-2 16oz containers of steam table selections to go. Hot steam table: large variety. 1 item $10.00, 2 items $13.00 with choices not seen in other locations because of cost. Things which arent common: bamboo, big chunks of different types of fish, catfish, saba, small sardines,. Bitter melon both stuffed and stir fried versions. Bamboo shoots, the larger roots cut and sauteed. Multiple braised pork belly entrees, min 2 different types. One is roasted crisp the other is braised. Open early for elderly crowd on food stamps. Large choices of veggie dishes including bamboo + steamed spicy pork. No reviews on porridge. They use broken rice which is different than the the version with all the rice grains broken down. In the old days they paired it with a roast pork or roast duck protein. Those days are gone. You can pick with any protein they have in stock. Ground pork which they use in banh cuon, seafood options(shrimp, sardines, saba, any fish they have in stock) which they use for the steam table dishes. $14.75. Bakery: fresh baked bread, waffles, anything to keep costs down. Freshly made banh cuon, $15/tray, cheaper than the specialized banh cuon bakeries. They make profit from the high volume and don't have to raise prices on everything to break even. Banh Gio: $3.50, like lotus wrapped sticky rice but this replaces rice flour for the rice and uses a seasoned ground pork and mung bean for texture contrast. Delicious. I see elderly come in when they open and this is an affordable bfast option without high fat or sugar. Banh Mi: $8.50, they don't skimp on the meat. Better filling quality than the specialized banh mi only places in ESJ. They have lost tehir #1 rating to Duc Huong on Story Rd. Bun Rieu: Couldn't finish the crab balls. Very authentic, slightly sweet -sour from the tomato broth and added lemon slices. Contrast in texture w noodles, hand formed crab pork balls and home made pork broth w the BR seasoning. Depth of flavor, flavor changes in mouth. Not americanized with added sugar.

They gave my this. And they told me they wont serve anymore of them packages

Came in and bought 30$ worth of food. Ate at the table, and asked for the sriracha chill sauce package. Gave me 1 , so i came and asked more. Still gave me one. So i came to ask the 3rd time and they told me no and tell me to get the chopped chilly instead. Lol i guess them packages is worth 1 star rating

I visit Thanh Huong a lot and the banh mi's are very good! We usually get the chicken banh mi or the Chinese sausage/fried egg banh mi. They are great portions and the bread is amazing. It is a great go to spot. This trip I got the shrimp spring rolls. It comes with 3. These spring rolls were good, but the shrimp was small. The spring rolls also were full of bean sprouts and mint but I wish there was more noodles inside. The parking lot is small, but they have a private lot. They also have seating inside and other hot fresh food.

#1 grilled pork banh mi and Che Thai (Vietnamese fruit cocktail)
May T.

My favorite childhood banh mi spot! This local Vietnamese eatery has stood the test of time with its authentic banh mi's and a wide variety of food and drink options. I get the #1 grilled pork and it's always packed with meat that's juicy, tender and flavourful. Service is extremely quick and always super friendly staff to welcome you. Parking lot is small, so it's more of a grab-n-go for takeout. There are tables inside if you want to enjoy your food right away.

Best viet sandwich in the South Bay!! I got the classic banh mi thit nguoi (cold cuts) and my cousins got a cooked meat sandwich. They were DELICIOUS--cousins were also pleasantly shocked. Better than Lee's (commercialized, thin baguette) and Thanh Huong (I really like this place too) but the bread here is SO fresh and airy and delicious. We all loved the bread. Meat ratio was top tier, wish I had more veggies (lol). Coffee was also strong and delicious. Service was good--workers are straight to the point and quick. Ambiance could be better but it's a typical lil viet shop/"corner store" I'd say where they sell food but also pre-packaged foods here and there. They had seating and AC so cant complain!

BBQ pork

Banh mi!!!! Omg, came here yesterday to try it out & this is the real deal. Banh mi is so delicious - I had the grilled pork & not only was it good, they don't skimp on the meat & the bread is amazing! Can't wait to come back for another fix. Fast & friendly service

We're visiting San Jose for a few days and have had Vietnamese food at different restaurants for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. This is by far the most delicious and authentic place that we've visited. Looking at the items for picking (in pictures), they looked exactly like how I had remembered growing up in Ho Chi Minh City. The dishes were very authentic and tasty. We highly recommend the fish cakes.

I was only in town briefly and had a craving for really good crispy egg rolls -- this place…read moreabsolutely delivered. 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. My Vietnamese Mom definitely approves SJ eggrolls and even went back and ordered a few more things for my dad a week later. 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.

We ordered a large bun Bo hue, a large pho luc lac, fried rice with ribeye cooked medium level (as recommended), Bo luc lac with tomato flavored rice, and a chicken pho ap chao to share amongst 3 adults and 4 kids. Everything we ordered was delicious, tasty, and the portion size were very good and perfect for sharing. I was pleasantly surprised with the pho ap chao, it was really tasty and crispy and a dish I have not tried before. We really enjoyed everything but the Bo luc lac (shaken beef) was super tender and the beef was flavorful! This is a must try in my opinion! This restaurant is clean and tidy and has cute decors of bamboo hats hung from the ceiling and remind me of being back in Vietnam again. Staffs were attentive as customers entered. Plenty of parking spaces in the plaza. I will definitely come back here for everything I tried during my visit and to try more when in the area or on the way back from Santa Cruz. This will also be a great place to grab Togo for picnics or for hiking as well! My kids are already asking to come back to the restaurant after our first time there. So glad to know of another Vietnamese restaurant that has so many yummy dishes in SJ!

I was trying to find the best place for shaken beef and this has to be my favorite…read more I've ordered to go from here twice. The portion is perfect and the quality is consistent. 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! Next time, I definitely want to dine in and try their other menu items as well :)
