Clean, fast, and friendly service. I had the #31-yum! Eager to try other kitchen items. Will pass on the banh tieu.
Food (5 stars) + Hu Tieu Kho is amazing on all levels of freshness, quality ingredients, and portion! I prefer to order it dry with soup on the side. + 3 large shrimps! I'm talking about biggest I've ever seen served in Hu Tieu. + Mix of yellow and rice noodle hits all marks for my buds. They're also piping hot even a few minutes into my meal. + Thin slices of pork and pork roll give an amazing texture + Soup with bone doesn't look like much but if you're ever one of those people that wonder why your uncle or dad would naw on these bad boys you'll be doing the same thing when you're of age. I ate mine and my wife's share. Lots of meat left in them bones! + Condiments here add essential contrast to your dry noodles. A little spicy, sweet and lemongrass flavors. ~ Sesame donut is good. Bigger than I expected but hollow inside. They have a $7 coffee and donut special. Service/Ambiance (4.5 stars) + 1 lady took care of the whole front and bussed tables so I won't complain about my water not getting refilled + All around cleaner than other hole in the wall places I'm loving this place. I hope they keep up with the quality because this will be my local go to Hu Tieu spot. It's a couple dollars more than other local dry noodle places but I don't mind a little premium for such quality. Also this used to be a Vietnamese chicken restaurant. They still have many of the original chicken dishes at a newer price point. I assume they leveled up on them as well.
Initially, I was going to Dalat for their hu tieu dai, but my sister recommended going here and it definitely delivered. The broth is rich, and flavorful and the portions are generous with plenty of toppings. I love that they give you pork ribs in the broth! Service was also pretty solid. I especially enjoyed the strong Vietnamese coffee and the fried sesame bread--both were great additions to the meal. Their Vietnamese mini baguette is solid, but only have 1 kind. That said, the Hainan chicken was disappointing compared to what I remember from the previous owner. The chicken came out overcooked and lacked the firm, slightly chewy texture you'd expect from free-range chicken. It honestly tasted like it had been braised too long--almost like the kind of chicken typically used for congee. Having cooked free-range chicken myself, I know the texture it should have, and this missed the mark. The ginger fish sauce could also use some refinement--it leaned too heavily on vinegar and needed more ginger and a bit more sweetness for balance. The space itself is fairly small, with seating for around 20 people, though it seems like most customers order takeout. I'll definitely be back for the hu tieu, and I'm open to giving the Hainan chicken another shot since I really liked it under the previous owner. Overall, it's still worth supporting this local spot.
Solid place with tasty food!! They have a great selection of pate chaud, Gio chay quay & banh tieu that you can get to go as well. Would recommend asking them to help heat it up for tastier experience. They have great deals for them, even ones including drinks. Their bun Bo hue broth is pretty nice, and the sauce for their com ga hai nam is delicious too. Would definitely return for more.
YAY. First review and meal of 2026! Thu Bakery is located in Paloma Plaza. It took over Hai Nam and is nicely renovated. The restaurant is clean, cozy and inviting. I dined here twice in one week because I enjoyed their noodles soo much. Service was quick and food came out quickly too. So far I've tried.. #27 HU TIEU DAI KHO $19.50 -chewy clear noodles, dry style with "thu special sauce." Comes with 2 jumbo shrimp, pork, squid, green onion, cilantro and garlic. I added a squeeze of lime, chili & pickled condiments and chinese celery. Everything was super fresh and tasted homemade! Really hit the spot. 5/5* I liked the condiments they provided on the table.. chili sate, pickled jalapeños and pickled radishes. Everything is made in-house. The pickled radishes had little bits of red chili peppers. Tasted similar to the "do chua" we eat in vietnamese sandwiches. This was a new condiment for me and I enjoyed it in my noodles! Apparently it's from the western region of Vietnam aka "mien tay." They also offer a whole section of chicken dishes, similar to the previous owner. Like pho ga, mi ga, mien ga, banh canh ga, chao ga, xoi / com ga and even whole chicken. I bought a few of their banh tieu (sesame donut) and gio chau quay (chinese donut sticks) when they had their promotion. Buy 3 get 1 free, at $2 a donut. They make THE BEST in SJ. So good that they even sell them to vietnamese fast food shops and markets. They also sell a few baked items and desserts that you can grab and go by the cashier. This is a family run business and service is very friendly and attentive. Would definitely come back to try other dishes!
I was in rush so I called them ahead of time to place an order at 6:35 pm. I came at 7:00 pm and had to wait 25 minutes to get my order. Turned out that they DID NOT do my order until I came. So what was the point of me calling them to order ahead? I purposely ordered NO ONION because I CANNOT eat onion and they made my order full of onion. Now my car smell like a walking onion.
A Food Review Thu Bakery & Restaurant Review: 4.5 out of 5 Address: 3005 Silver Creek Road, Suite 172 San Jose, CA 95121 Phone: (669) 275-2522 I want to make bun bo hue but I realized that buying two bowls of BBH is cheaper than making a big pot at home. As a matter of fact, I have had bought 5 or 6 bowls in the last 30 days and it is still more cost effective than making bun bo hue at home. Although it hasn't stopped me from buying lemon grass and multiple pineapples and herbs to prepare for a long cooking session. After looking for homes, my customer and I have tried bun bo hue at three different locations: Huynh Bun Bo Dining has delicious Mi Quang but their BBH gave us both tummy aches. They don't have a lot of customers like Hue Restaurant. My customer ordered tai bo (raw beef) BBH. Yes, the meat was soft but I think raw slices of beef belong on top of a bowl of pho not bun bo hue. Hue is a busy restaurant across from Huynh Dining. They are the OG of Hue food at the Paloma Plaza. This is the second generation of banh beo makers from the original Bun Bo Hue Dong Ba (formally known as Bun Bo Hue) on Senter Road. Their BBH has a lot of annatto red coloring and tastes ok to me; I didn't see fireworks. Thu Bakery is a new restaurant that specializes in chicken just like the previous restaurant before it, Hai Nam. As a matter of fact, the previous owner is an older lady that still manages the kitchen in the back. She is the main chef. She used to work for Pho Ga Anh Nam and Bun Bo Hue Anh Nam (when Anh Tien and his mom owned both businesses). She was the original cook that made BBH for their restaurants. After her husband died, it was too much work for her to run the restaurant by herself. She sold the restaurant but stayed on to help the new owner. I am on a chicken strike and was a little disappointed to see that they removed all of the duck from their menu. Therefore, we decided to order bun bo hue for the meat. It did not disappoint. The meat was tasty and there was a rich aroma of lemon grass in both the broth and marinated meat. There were huge chunks of beef barely clinging on bones. We used two forks to tear off the meat from the bones. The blood chunk was big too. Their BBH would be a good representation of what you would eat at home if you knew how to cook BBH Saigon style. It was more on the sweet side. We dipped fresh Chinese doughnuts in the broth. I am so glad that we ate here instead of Chick-Fil-A (or is it Chic-Fil-A, depending on what time you are in right now). The best place to have bun bo hue is still Bun Bo Hue A Nam on Story Road.
I've been here twice to try most of the items on the menu. Overall, the food is good and consistent. The space is clean, neat, and comfortable. The condiments are also well-prepared and nicely arranged. I highly recommend the chicken rice and the hủ tiếu -- both were flavorful and satisfying. Next time, I'll definitely try the "hủ tiếu xào nhật". I'm giving this place 5 stars especially because of the young lady server. She was incredibly sweet, gentle, and friendly. Her warm attitude made the whole experience even better. Will definitely come back!
Pho ga special was very good. They aren't skimpy on their meats. The broth was delicious as well. Hun Bo hue was pretty good as well. No blood cake though. The banh tieu is the best I've had outside of my family's homemade ones. It was super thin inside and flavoring was on point. Definitely will come back.
Flavorful and clean! The family that runs this fairly new restaurant puts a whole lot of love and care into their food. My husband and I really enjoyed our #20 (yellow chicken with rice) and #11 (roasted darker chicken with noodles) dishes that both came with a side bowl of savory broth, pickled cabbage and additional sauces. Every bite and sip were perfectly flavorful! Nothing too salty or oily. We came on a weekday for lunch and were seated right away. We are Asian-American, but not Vietnamese, so we appreciated the photos of their top sellers on the menu. The service was friendly and efficient, the condiments are home-made and served in clean containers, and the small restaurant is modern and clean inside. It is located on the same side as Tram Coffee and a number of other drink places, so you can grab a beverage after your meal. Will definitely be back!
Service was excellent, staffs are are friendly. The chicken roti with rice was good, it came with sides of kim chi and soup. Restaurant was clean. I'll definitely be back to try other things on the menu.

Went in for lunch with my gf and this place didn't disappoint. The food was delicious and the service was pleasant, plus there was Chinese love melodies playing in Vietnamese so the whole meal was enjoyable. -Hu tieu dai mi thu nuoc -Com ga hai nam -Che duong nhan -Chinese doughnut -Banh flan This seems like a newly opened restaurant so if you're in the Silver Creek plaza, I'd recommend giving this place a try. read more

Delicious. Ordered #36. Broth is savory and CLEAN. The hallow sesame donut is yummy to dip into the soup. Will come back!!!!! read more
Came by for lunch the other day and it was a tasty experience. Thu Bakery & Restaurant took over Hai Nam Restaurant. The interior has been refreshed and the menu features new items. The chef from Hai Nam is still in the back. Opted for the Bun Bo Hue and as others had mentioned, it had tons of meat, including a fish cake, beef shank, beef rib, and pork blood. There were no pig trotters. The broth was flavorful and the noodles were cooked to perfection. Ordered a side of fried dough sticks and they were ok. They take credit cards with a 3% surcharge. read more

Amazing place to support a new family owned business. Hu tieu soup was extremely flavorful and the shrimps were one of the biggest I've had so far. Chicken and sticky rice was also delightful, and came with a lot of chicken. Definitely recommend! read more
