    When I saw banh bot lot and banh beo was available, best believe I drove here the same day to get these!! This was in the same plaza at 7 leaves and these 2 combo is all you really need in life :) the banh bot loc was SOOOOO good! Will be coming here every time I'm in SJ

    I usually go to L&M Bakery and Deli few shops down but have recently started checking out Van An. Very similar to L&M, another mom & pop shop - Vietnamese food & snacks. This place is, I believe, closed on Tuesdays & Wednesdays. Make sure to bring cash because they do not accept cards. They have those individual packaged Vietnamese food plates, like banh cuon, banh beo, banh bot loc, sticky rice, and more - made fresh daily. A bit pricey, around $5-$6 for one and portion size is not much. On busy WFH days, I would come here to pick up something for lunch or dinner because it's quick and convenient.

    I remember the first time I stepped into a Lee's Sandwich in San Jose. I thought it was so cool that it was so modern and you waited on your orders of sandwich and Vietnamese coffee- " #28, Your order is ready" announced over the speakers. I remember looking around at all the what looked liked bunch of packaged colorful appetizers laying around being sold. I bought a few items w/no idea of what the heck I was eating. But, I was ready for the edible adventure! Van An( San Jose) makes lots of this hard for me to pronounce delicious items. Buy a bunch for a snack or a meal! Mom and Pop shop and Cash Only. Social distance observed. Staff friendly and wearing mask.

    If you loved to eat banh uot, banh cuon like I do, this is probably one the best place to get these items in the Bay Area. Most of the items are freshly made. There are many to go items and you can always call ahead to place orders for party etc. Highly recommended!

    This place is worth for me to drive 45 minutes to buy their beef meat balls, banh cuon.

    This place only serves individual trays or party trays TOGO. I only come here for their banh hoi (woven rice vermicelli). It usually comes in a black togo tray, plain, in sheets. I requested them to add green onion oil + fried shallots this time so they just grabbed the prepackaged plain ones and brought that to the back to add the toppings. It comes out to be $5. FAV BANH HOI! Come early! They run out of their individual togo trays pretty quickly. I've seen banh cuon (meat filled rice noodles), banh bot lot (shrimp & pork filled tapioca dumplings), banh beo (dried shrimp steamed rice cakes) and xoi lap xuong (savory sticky rice with Chinese sausage + chicken). There's also larger plates of banh uot (rice sheets -plain or with dried shrimp) next to the register. There's a menu on the wall so you can order what you need if you don't see it already prepared on the counter. A few times I came early in the afternoon and everything was gone besides the sweet sticky rice. Sometimes you can ask if they have anymore in the back..but nothing is guaranteed!

    The food was great. Only giving it a 4 star due to cash only, which is typical for a viet place.

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.
