I tried BBH Noodle awhile ago and thought it was pretty pricey for Pho. Good, but pricey. Nowadays, that's the standard pricing at other restaurants. Today, I revisited them while waiting for my mom's takeout from next door to be ready. The service was bad. I walked in and a lone lady was sitting at the back table talking on the phone. After seating myself done and waited a few minutes with nobody to greet me or bring me a menu. I proceeded to go to the kitchen to see if somebody would help me. As I saw somebody, she spoke in Vietnamese, and a man came out to help me but was surprised that he had to come out as he saw the woman just sitting there. I understand not to expect good service at these types of restaurants, but at least seat your customers and give them a menu and water. I only got the water after she somewhat took my order. Bun Bo Hue (Spicy): Beef and pork slices, ham, tendon, pork blood (4/5). I was surprised that they did not include the usual shrimp paste and chili oil. But, for me it was already a good heat level for me. Best of luck to them.

We were in the area and were thinking about revisiting a noodle place in Milpitas we had tried years ago, but couldn't remember the name nor the location so we saw this little as we drove by and decided to give it a try. We got there around 2pm on Saturday and it was pretty empty. We ordered Bun Bo Hue and an appetizer. We couldn't decide if we want Goi Cuon or the papaya salad so we asked the server (I think he is the owner?) which one was better. One would expect he would suggest the more expensive salad but he actual recommended the cheaper rolls. Extra point there! Happy to see they offer Bun Bo Hue as we love the spicy noodles. We have tried many bun no hue places in the Bay Area, including the famous Bun Bo Hue A nam in San Jose. Some places tend to make it too sweet. The Bun Bo Hue here was HUGE and flavorful. It was spicy but we like it hot so we fully used the toasted pepper chili sauce on the table. The lemongrass flavor was intense and we love it. The Goi Cuon was the biggest I have seen. They are very thoughtful that they didn't put the crushed peanuts in the dipping sauce like other places, but offer it on the side... for people with allergies I think-very considerate . There wasn't anything to write home about regarding the taste of the rolls. They were fresh and crunchy as expected for goi Cuon. Part of the skin was a little hard but overall they were good for the price. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was clean and tables arranged neatly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was good and the boss (I think) was very friendly. The menu offerings were limited but I don't mind. Overall it was a 3.65 star experience (so round it up to 4). I wouldn't mind coming back if I am in the area...

Another week, another time to try a pho place. I appeared at what seemed to be a small family hosted joint? I ordered a usual beef pho, and taste wise it's okay, I just have some issues. Some of the beef is rubbery to the point where it's not possible to chew it. The service needs some work, even with a handful of people, a lot of other customers were waiting longer than expected. You don't need to come here, you aren't missing anything

Friendly staff. Family owned. The bun bo hue is definitely proper. Nice chili oil (sate) accompanying the bun bo hue. Plenty of side herbs which is a plus. The portion is also huge for $18.5. If you want to satisfy your spicy noodle soup need you gotta come here

The service is absolutely fantastic, and the food is a delightful treat! You get a generous serving of noodles and meat that really hits the spot. However, be warned--the Vietnamese coffee packs a powerful punch!

This is a solid Vietnamese restaurant in Milpitas if you're craving Bun Bo Hue or Hu Tieu Nam Vang. The portions and quality is very good. They have a variety of other dishes too like pho and rice plates, but I haven't tried it personally. Food comes out quickly. Would recommend.

Good rice dish, noodle dish with tomato, noodle dish with grill pork. All very good food every time

I haven't visited this spot in more than 8 years until today. There's always new ownership and restaurant name changes on this block. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nothing fancy and not huge, but they definitely have enough tables and chairs inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Same old. Senior folks work here and there's always people chatting inside lounging around. Grab a menu at the front display shelf area at entrance doors. It's kind of hard to notice they stack menus there, in case you're wondering where the menu is. Not many dine-in customers during lunchtime (Thursday). TV is on with Vietnamese programs. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place is a bit outdated compared to other Vietnamese restaurants in Milpitas.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]More quiet these days than usual.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Credit cards accepted. Pay at front counter after dining inside. I sat at corner table 1 and had the Bun Rieu Crab Cake Meat Pate Tomato Paste Noodle Soup with a glass of water. True, selections are a bit pricier compared to other similar places. Still delicious, especially the unique meat pate. They're actually different in taste compared to others. Good tasting flavorful meat pate is probably handmade. Very good. Huge portion sizes inside bowl. Service is slow, but ok. Mixed vibes inside. 1-2 staffs (males) are working. Don't expect excitement. Not too bright interior lighting. Low key casual dining mood. They can get very busy taking orders over the phone. The place was much better with more servers in past years. They are definitely trying to survive. Staffs are growing older. Menu is simple. Old places still have potential. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is one of those places that should get repainted or upgraded to compete with others.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Sticky wet tables? Utensils looked old.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Times have changed, so the dining mood needs to catch up with modern businesses. It felt like business is slower and customer base is shrinking, but you can still find delicious selections here. Very mixed interior vibes here. Food is good.

Chili with the generic sriracha in the back

Ter L.

It's been YEARS since I've stopped by and had some BBH Noodle. The menu sure has chopped down in size but the simplicity is just enough to keep the customers coming back for more. The menu includes a few appetizers, 3 types of noodle soup, vermicelli bowls, rice offerings, & a long list of drinks. The seating capacity is a little over 40 patrons which is a bit hard to believe but I guess they make magic happen if/when it's needed. Lunch consisted of: *BUN BO HUE- spicy beef noodle soup *PHO BO VIEN- pho w/ beef balls *HU TIEU DAI THAP CAM- combination noodle soup with chewy clear noodles *SODA CHANH- Vietnamese soda lemonade Food: For starters, just like the numerous pho/noodle houses located in the Bay Area, the sriracha shortage is REAL!! You won't find the infamous red sauce with it's green twisty cap here. They do have fish sauce, hoisin, chili, & a generic form of sriracha placed table side. I liked how the plates of veggies provided are the traditional herbs and veggies typically found with each dish- the employees didn't just pile on a bunch of generic veggies for everyone to share. The noodles were good. Pho was good and the nephew like the oversized beef balls provided. BBH noodles definitely had the iconic spicy factor required in its broth, unfortunately there wasn't much else beyond that. Mam rouc [fermented shrimp paste] is most definitely needed to offset the spicy but bland flavors of the soup. Combination chewy noodles was surprisingly a lot more enjoyed that I anticipated. The toppings and protein provided in each bowl was plentiful but I would have liked a bit more when it came down to noodle amounts. 3.5 stars overall. I wouldn't mind coming back but it wouldn't be something I'd go outta my way for.

Came here on a weeknight for dinner because I really wanted soup. I tried the BBH and it was mid for me since I'm huge on savory and super spicy for BBH. If you don't like too much heat, then this is probably a good broth-spice level for you. Otherwise, it was not spicy for me and the chili oil they had wasn't spicy for me either. I did try their eggrolls, which was great but I forgot to snap a picture of it. Glad there's a Vietnamese joint in Milpitas.

The food is great and the staffs are so cool. [[HIGHLIGHT]]As a Vietnamese I enjoy being here in the weekend my with family.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Nothing beats Vietnamese food when it comes to day-off and spending time here is the best choice.

This is the worst service I've seen. I wish I could give them Zero star. I just order Bun bo hue and I have to wait over 30 mins and remind them many times but they still ignore me. Then the guys just come and said he lost my bill so I have to wait more, the most terrible restaurant and disappointed feeling. Never come to this restaurant again, otherwise they treat you so bad. read more

Man. Had to drop this down a star. Was told the last visit that the rice plates were a must try and since Joe was feeling rice plates and we were nearby shopping we decided to give it a shot. Since I had the Bun Bo Hue last time I figured I would try the Pho. The rice plate was good and large for the $10.50 price tag but the meat was super fatty and gristle-y. We decided to listen to the other reviewers and get the shrimp egg rolls with mayo but they were just gross. Though they came out hot, the underside was mushy and soft (soaked with oil) gross! Also had to drop it done a star because $1 for hot tea is lame and then to top it off they gave us the hot tea freaking cold! WTF? After eating the pho (pretty solid) I was thirsty so requested a class of water and there was SHIZZ stuck on the glass cup. I'm like SERIOUSLY?!? One issue during a visit I can brush off but two.... No Bueno! This would be two star but the service was soooo friendly so I will give them a three. I am not sure if I'd come back. read more

I ordered the hot beef soup and spring rolls. The noodles in the soup were thicker than the pho noodles. I was hoping for pho noodles but oh well. It was very tasty though. The meat was a bit on the fatty side. I probably won't go back since there are so many other places to try in the area. I enjoyed the spring rolls. You get 4 rolls and each one is a pretty good size, but the meat and shrimp in each are pretty small pieces. read more

If you're a big fan of Bún Bò Hu. Looks no where than this restaurant. I guarrantee you that uou wont be dissappointed. I love Bún Bò Hu. I tried almost evevery restaurant in town and any city that I've been visiting including those cities with biggest Bietnamese population like Orange county, Houston and San Jose and I even try those restaurant is claimed to be the best Bún Bò Hu turn out they dont match what they advertise. I also came to try the original birth place of Bún Bò Hu in the central Vietnam. I found most mistaken by most restaurants are that they have way too much oil in their soup and too much lemongrass that make you dont want to eat because those lemongrass make your mouth want to spit out and the oily is nasty. This BBH restaurant by far is the best in term of the balance of taste and no oily and no chop lemongrass. The soup is clear and smell good. Lots of meats. read more

I love it when I go to a place and the blood, or "huyet" is cooked well--not undercooked and obviously disgusting or over cooked and dry/crumbly. The BBH itself, or "bun bo hue," is pretty good--just spicy enough for me, though not spicy enough for some but they do give you extra spice on the side to add yourself. read more

Bbh was ok. The beef meat was tender compared to an nam. The soup needs a little more spice. Oj was definitely fresh squeezed. The waitress needs to learn to take order. She was taking my order and walk away in the middle of me ordering. Didn't even apologized and then said what did I want to order? If your not ready to get my order then don't go to my table and take order. Then when I went over to the cashier to pay they gave me a lot of pennies in stead of dimes and nickels...WTH. Overall, the place was ok just needs better service. read more

This is me and my bf's go-to for BBH because it's so close to our home! The first time we came here was during their grand opening. They were packed and super busy so the food came out a little slow and the servers were not as well trained. I worked in the restaurant industry before so I totally understand. They definitely improved ever since then which made us come back again and again. Tonight, me and the bf came for dinner around 6:20pm because he was craving BBH. We ordered the seafood and chicken pan fried noodle, BBH, and the chicken wings appetizer. About 15 minutes passed by and still no food. I look around and it seemed like everyone got their food already and hoped we would get ours next. Another 15 minutes passed by until we got our first dish (pan fried noodles). I noticed the chicken had a weird bitter/sour taste to it and asked my bf to try it and he agreed it was a bit off so we stopped eating it. About half way done with the dish, we asked the server if our other dishes were coming out soon. He said the BBH would be coming soon. And when we mentioned the wings, he said he would go and make it real quick. I guess they forgot about the wings. It was 7:15 and nothing. We got to the front to pay and told the cashier we only received our pan fried noodles. For some reason, she ignored us and helped the lady standing behind us..... I could tell the bf was getting real pissed off now. Our server came up and we told him we only received one of our dishes while being there for an hour. He said there was a mix up in the kitchen or something. At that point we just wanted to pay and go. He said our total was $11. And then 10 seconds later he said "oh yeah you had a Thai ice tea too. Your total is $15.26." Like really? You're gonna ask for that after you screwed up our order? Ok whatever. To make matters worse, within minutes of getting home, both of us had to run to the bathroom. Guess now we know the chicken was spoiled. It really upsets me that I have to write a bad review but tonight was disappointing and unforgivable. read more

Um. So. This place is incredible. First thing: it's very small. We were there on a Saturday just after noon and it was pretty full, even so our wait was 5 minutes for 2 people. A larger group may not work well here. BUT!! The menu! Very simple, 2-sided with maybe 20 total dishes, and judging by what we got, they are very very good at preparing them. The pork vermicelli salad and seafood baked noodles were both so good that we inhaled them without hardly speaking. So amazingly delicious. OH! And the SPRING ROLLS! At last somebody made spring rolls where you can taste the herbs. So fresh. Everything in this place was fresh and delicious. And cheap! 100% worth your time. read more

This would be new my place to go for BBH without heading down to San Jose. The BBH is good, but slightly on the lighter side in term of the spicy, at least the presentation-wise is not spicy hot like other places. The bowl is consider the smaller than average BBH I had before. The biggest flaw would be their service. Even the place is not fully packed yet, the guys already seem like being overwhelmed. The restaurant is not big at all, but with 3 guys still can't handle it?! Anyway, I would give this 4.5 star. The service could be even better. read more

I came here twice. The first time I ordered Bun Bo Hue: Delicious !!! Generous portion & good a mount of shredded water spinach & banana flower compare to other restaurants, which provides very little. The broth is piping hot and tasted just right. This place the broth is perfect for my taste. It's not too overwhelming by the aroma of the lemongrass or shrimp paste flavor like other places in San Jose such as Ca Mau restaurant. If you want more flavors you can ask for extra shrimp paste to take your flavor up another notch. 5 stars. The second time I ordered Pho: Standard !!! Over price !!! Nothing special about the broth that I could comment. The portion is very small. Enough meat but the amount of noodle on my bowl is less than size of the kid meal from other restaurant. But I have to say the hoisin sauce & the Sriracha is good. 3 stars The place: Nice and clean. 5 stars The service: Up and above great. Polite waiter & waitresses. 5 stars. The order: Too a long time for food to come out. 2 stars. The price. Over price. The location is Milpitas not downtown San Jose. The price of all entrees should reduce by 1 dollar. Will come back for BBH but not Pho. read more

The service is really bad. Not sure if because of the owner or because of the server but their respond is so bad. We ordered 2 bun bo hue for my husband and I, we asked for sate sauce for the Bun Bo and the server he brought out the small place with less then 1/2 teaspoon of the sate and we asked for a bit more since we are a spicy eater. The server just replied, it is the sample and that is it no more. It is so rude. All restaurant will have the sate or hot sauce at the table. What is wrong with this restaurant? Bun bo Hue without sate. Will never come back again. I would rather go down to An Nam at least to have the good service and better bun bo. read more

I look for strong lemongrass flavor when it comes to bun bo hue, but all I tasted was sweetness, almost like the sweetness that comes from boiling corn. It wasn't bad overall, but not what I am looking for when I crave bun bo hue. Also I ordered spring rolls and one BBH; it totaled $19 something. My goodness that's pricey. I think I'll stick to my usual in Oakland. On the plus side though, nice service and clean environment. read more

It was small, so I ordered a bowl of rice and that took about 10 mins to serve, much longer than it took to get the BBH to begin with. Then when it was time to leave, there was no one to be found. I believe they were taking out the trash and closing up for the night. I will chalk this up to my late dinner and will not hold it against them.

Yes, it's definitely worth going to if you've never had Vietnamese beef 7 ways or baked catfish…read more There's not many of these types of restaurants around. General for celebratory reasons and it originated from the south as well. You can find many other Vietnamese cuisine out there, but unless you have a bigger Vietnamese population, this is a much more rare find. So when our friend from NY was visiting for Fanime, we had to get this. Though, I will say this to start with, nothing can ever beat my dear Thien An Bo 7 Mon from SoCal. I'm biased and I'm not afraid to say it, but I know that NorCal is lacking in many ways and with that in mind, it makes sense that the prices are higher (rent and costs of operation are much higher in NorCal, I'm sure) and the other differences as well. Regardless, the service was attentive and welcoming and they even chased my bf outside to his car when he foolishly left his card in the restaurant. There is a policy that the 7 course beef is 1 order per person and minimum 2 orders. I have not seen that in SoCal and they let us grossly share 1 order between 3 people, but things might have changed. With that in mind, 2 orders split between 3 people was more than enough. For drinks, my boyfriend got some local brewed IPA and when I sent my dad the picture (he's a Viet refugee), he immediately got triggered by the year that was on the can before I explained to him the origins that were on the label. I got a soda chanh muoi (salted lemon sparkling water and you pour the sparkling soda water from a cold can yourself into the mix in a glass). Refreshing and a sharp salty sour bite in between courses. The 7 course beef came as it would any other restaurant that does it: 1) Goi Bo (House Special Beef Salad) 2) Bo Nhung Dam (Beef in Wine Vinegar Fondue) -Not sure why it's translated this way but it's raw beef slices that have been seasoned in vinegar with some onions on top and you cook it in a hot pot broth. 3) Bo Cha Dum (Steamed Beef Patty) 4) Bo Cuon No Chai (Grilled Beef Sausages) 5) Bo Cuon La Lot (Beef wrapped in Lot leaf) -Easily the favorite of the table. You can never go wrong with leaf wrapped meats as you can see that it is a worldwide dish and phenomenon regardless of the protein and the vegetation used. -Savory and a bit smoky with a kick from the leaves. Good stuff. 6) Bo Nuong Xa (Beef roll with onion and lemon grass) 7) Chao Bo (Beef porridge) - the version I had in SoCal had cute beef alphabet and star pasta soup and I'm not the biggest fan of porridge so this was just okay to me. All the beef was seasoned well and moist, not too dry or tough. Definitely more than enough to share especially with the generous amount of rice paper and veggies to roll in. Again, just my qualm because I'll always compare every Viet 7 beef course with my OG in SoCal, but they had a vertical rice paper water rolling dish that made it easier to wet the rice paper without it getting soggy and without the water getting gross or the bowl taking up too much space. We additionally got vermicelli noodles to stuff our rolls too, which would have been nice to add a little bit of carbs into our meal, but if you're more into protein and veggies, this was good. Overall not bad and a must to try at least once.

Sad to see this one come off my list of staples.

They are perfectly fried without being too greasy, and tossed in a sweet and savory fish sauce glaze. The chicken was juicy too. Had to stop myself from eating too many of these or I wouldn't have touched my pho. Haha. The pho broth is very flavorful too, I only add the slightest hint of lime and it's perfect. I tried the brisket and other meats this time but they were pretty fatty -- I usually get the flap meat and will continue to stick to that. Other than that, it's a 10/10 pho spot and worth the wait. Get the fresh noodles.

As a Viet, I've…read morealways felt homesick and my ultimate goal in the Bay is to find a bowl of pho that actually feels like home. I know the purists will say this isn't the authentic Pho Thin Lo Duc, but honestly to me doesn't matter. As long as food slaps and my belly is happy, then I'm sold. My favorite dishes here are pho tai lan and pho tai dap. And 2 sides you should order whenever you have Hanoi pho is quay (fried dough) and poached egg. The broth may not be the best, but it's rich, beef is stir-fried perfectly with signature garlic aroma (it's called tai lan for a reason, and dipping the quay into the soup took me straight back Hanoi. It's rare to find a place in Bay that serves pho with quay, so I really appreciate the authenticity. This restaurant is just comforting, delicious, and for a moment, it made the distance from home feel a little smaller. No matter what other people say, this is my favorite spot in the Bay for sure!

The Chinese sausage pieces sprinkled throughout added extra flavor too. The bowl is deep so there seemed to be roughly 5 cups of rice. Unfortunately the laksa shrimp fried rice was disappointing in comparison. It didn't have much flavor overall - better than plain rice but definitely needed more seasoning. The menu lists homemade laksa sauce as an ingredient but we didn't taste that, and the dish wasn't spicy at all either despite the 1 chili pepper rating. But it looked just like the menu picture so maybe the description is wrong. Fried chicken with tom yum sauce came with 6 pieces. Very juicy. We also enjoyed the herbal roasted prime steak with sausage rice. The delicious rice had the taste of fish sauce. Most of the short rib slices were soft and a few were slightly chewy but overall decent quality. Some of the fattier pieces of meat were still attached to the bone.

I came here on a Friday evening with my friend to grab dinner around 6:00 PM. The wait was around an hour, so be very prepared if you're coming during the dinner rush. This spot is located where the majority of the Asian restaurants are in Milpitas, so it's safe to say the parking can get a bit hectic and intense. The interior of the place is very bright, modern, and clean. There is a lot of seating for a small space, but the reason they are so busy has a lot to do with the number of people wanting to check this spot out. When you sit down, you scan their virtual menu via QR code and order there instead of through a server. You have the choice to order on one phone as a group or separately. Between my friend and me, we ordered a beef mint salad, fried tofu, confit mushrooms, and truffle mushroom rice. I will say that when we first got the fried tofu and confit mushrooms, we were quite surprised by the small portions compared to the price. That said, they were delicious, but skippable if you're trying to find the best bang for your buck. What I absolutely would recommend is their truffle mushroom fried rice. This might have been my best bite this month. It was so savory, the mushrooms hit perfectly, and the coating of butter on the rice was supreme. It was $28 for a bowl, but it was a good value to split between two people. Overall, this place had great, fast service (our food came out in under 10 minutes), a nice ambiance, and fresh, flavorful food.

I had a disappointing experience at this restaurant. I ordered takeout and was surprised to see a $0.50 charge just for the to-go service. I usually tip between $2-5, but this extra fee made me reconsider. I ordered their specialty, the BBH, and picked it up just 5 minutes after placing my order. Unfortunately, the soup was already cold by the time I got it. The portion was underwhelming, with only two slices of pork belly, and the noodles were hard and unappetizing. To top it off, the flavor was overly salty. Overall, I was left quite dissatisfied with my meal. read more
