    We tried Nha Café a while back at a night market held at the Vietnamese Mall in San Jose. Ever since then, we have been following their journey and show up at almost every events. I'm a huge fan of Pandan so that was my first drink from them but I decided to give the Corn one a try. Guess what? I LOVE IT TOO!!! All the drinks are so flavorful. Can't wait for their store front to open soon.

    Always excited to see Nha at events! Love getting the pandan dream, it's my favorite! But when I want something a little heavier I would get the corn cloud if they have it. Super friendly workers to talk to and super excited for when they can open a physical storefront!

    I went to their shared storefront Modo Hawaiian BBQ, a long time ago even before they were open for business. I remember walking in and they were totally surprised the door wasn't locked and yes, both stores were still under construction inside. Oops. Fast forward to today and they are no longer sharing that location apparently and only do pop-up events & catering for now. Thankfully, they were at a Yelp event and offered samples of a few of their drinks. The owner(s) and staff were super friendly and welcoming! They were delighted to explain the drinks and told us try them in the following order. *1. Classic Drip: bold, rich, and creamy Vietnamese coffee with sweetened milk. *2. Pandan Dream: creamy pandan leaf infused soymilk mixed with mung bean and coconut. *3. Orange Sunset: refreshingly light lemongrass tea mixed with peach and orange. I look forward to when they have their own storefront.

    I have been following their IG page for a while and had no idea they were going to be at the 365 Night Market until we started walking around! I would have ordered the whole menu if I could but we were stuffed, so my husband and I shared the Corn Cloud. This is a sweet corn milk topped with coconut foam, which was so refreshing!! It's also caffeine free so we were able to share with our kids who also really enjoyed it. My favorite part was the level of customer service though. They were all so nice! I really hope they will get their own storefront soon, because they deserve it! Any business owners who will go out of their way to get to know their customers just a bit more really make a lasting impression and makes me want to support them even more. Unfortunately we don't live in the area but if I could come buy more drinks from them I would! But for now I will just spread the word and make sure to recommend them to all of you reading this review!

    I found out about Nha from a friend's Instagram story and then went to check it out myself! At the time, they were at Modo's drive thru and it was honestly perfect because it was so close to home (meaning almost weekly/bi-weekly trips lol). The drinks are amazing, one might even say "love at first sip", my favorites are the pandan and orange sunset. The corn cloud is really interesting, it's sweet and a subtle sweet corn flavor. The tamarind drink is awesome, I don't think I've had a tamarind drink before either and I really enjoyed it! It's nice too because it can be made without peanuts if you have allergies! All the drinks are really refreshing and delicious, not too sweet and bright in flavor. I've also been fortunate to catch them doing pop ups at marketplaces like SJMade! No notes and I have Nha on my list of businesses to reach out to asap to cater for a future event if they still offer it in the next couple of years! I must say that Brandon and Sandra are the most kindest, passionate, and positive/optimistic people and business owners I have ever met. I wish them nothing but the best in finding their own shop this year to continue their dream.

    Finally got to try Nha after seeing them vendor so many events in the South Bay! I got the Pandan Dream drink since pandan is one of my favorite flavors and it did NOT disappoint! It was delicious and I wish I got more. The workers were so lovely and sweet too. I can't wait to order some family style bottles from them.

    Dreaming and waiting for the day that Nha Cafe opens a physical location! I was so happy to visit them at SJ Made, especially after I mistakenly thought there was a storefront the day before! :') -- Pandan dream -- This is a creamy and sweet pandan milk with notes of mung beans. While it's not super thick, it has a nice, thicker consistency that is appetizing and feels slightly filling. The flavors are strong and don't feel watered down at all. It's what you would expect and taste great! -- orange sunset (my favorite) -- This is an orange drink that has an earthy, lemongrass aftertaste. This was super refreshing, because it tastes slightly "green" and also citrusy. I've never had anything like this before and I was initially feeling a little hesitant about ordering this. Like what can be so special about an orange juice drink? I was so pleasantly surprised and I will be visiting again for this drink especially! As for the vibes and service, their food stand was adorable and they also had cute stickers for sale. The owners are a sweet married couple and it was such a joy to talk to the husband as he manned the cashier!! He was super friendly and passionate about their business.

    I've had this place bookmarked for some time, and I finally got to try it recently. We got to learn a little bit about Nha Cafe from one of the owners. It's currently a pop-up, and it's owned by him and his wife. The owner was really nice and friendly. I ordered the Pandan Dream, which is soy-milk based with subtle hints of pandan and mung bean. This drink was delicious. It was definitely on the sweeter side, but I still really enjoyed it. All of the flavors meshed well together, and I loved it. Good luck to Nha Cafe and hoping to see a permanent store front one day!

    Corn Cloud
    Neha N.

    First time I tried Nha Cafe was when they were just starting out and only had a few reviews. I wanted to try the Corn Cloud but it was unavailable when I went, so I tried the tiramisu latte which I felt was underwhelming. Didn't want to review or rule them out! Finally got to try the Corn Cloud and omg it's amazing!! This is the 3rd corn drink Ive tried over the last couple of months and it's the clear winner. The person taking my order was super friendly and asking me if I had been before and would love to hear my thoughts. He told me to take a sip of the coconut cream on top before stirring it to drink. I did so at the window and told him it was delicious! I want to try their Pandan drink too, and hope they come out with something ube. I will probably keep repeating the corn cloud though :)

    Nha Cafe is my favorite pop up for drinks at festivals and markets! Their Pandan Dream and Orange Sunset are the perfect refreshing drinks you'll search for after time spent strolling around. Truly memorable and I can definitely see why it's part of their signature items. The Orange Sunset is a peach orange lemongrass tea with a balance of sweet and sour. It has a strong taste but it's not too overpowering with the orange or lemongrass. The Pandan Dream is sweet and light, perhaps floral even. I appreciate how their drinks are not watered down. Recently, I tried their Dirty Pandan because I was intrigued by their new phin drip series. It's a secret menu item ;) This is my favorite drink by far. The bold Vietnamese phin dripped coffee paired with the creamy pandan milk is such a wonderful combination. I would highly recommend as a huge lover of both Viet coffee and pandan. You'll get the best of both worlds if you try! I love how they specialize in unique flavors to introduce another side of Vietnamese palates. The owners are very friendly and there's little to no wait for their drinks even if there's a line. Overall, the concept of Nha Cafe is adorable and I would love for them to have a storefront of their own soon.

    Very lovely and sweet service from the owners. Their menu is simple but that's how you can get consistent quality drinks. My friend and I ordered Pandan dream and Corn cloud. I first knew about Nha Cafe on Instagram and finally got a chance to try it out. Even my other foodie friends recommended this place to me. Unfortunately, Nha Cafe owners are going to be out of the country so they will be back in February 2025. They even sell cute crochet characters. The flavors definitely resembles authentic Vietnamese desserts. First sip of the corn cloud and I was in love. It had a prominent sweet corn milk flavor (similar to Vietnamese dessert chè). Pandan dream was yummy as well. I love the color and taste. Great price and size for the drinks. Can't wait to revisit when they return!!

    Corn cloud
    Jessica H.

    First tried Nha at SJMade 2025 & was blown away by the flavors & amazing service by the duo who ran the booth. My friends & I ordered the Pandan Dream & Corn Cloud and were super impressed with how present the flavors of the drinks were. The drinks were super refreshing on a hot day but a bit on the sweeter end. Unfortunately, they had run out of the Orange Sunset by the time we arrived so we missed out on that one. Would definitely seek them out again at the next event they're at.

    THIS DRIVE THRU IS THE BOMB.COM If you haven't been to Nha, what are you even doing? You're missing out if you haven't been yet! Nha serves up Vietnamese-inspired drinks and everything on the menu is good. NEW! Tamarind Breeze - Roasted peanuts, pineapple, tamarind syrup (for those who loved Keo Me) Pandan Dream - Pandan soy milk, mung bean, coconut (pandan soy milk nostalgia, anyone?) Orange Sunset - Lemongrass tea, peach, orange (super refreshing and perfectly balanced!) Corn Cloud - Corn milk, coconut foam (think Che Bap in a drink!) Each drink impressed me, bringing out those familiar Vietnamese flavors I grew up with. You can't go wrong with any of the choices, but if I had to pick one, corn cloud is my choice! KEEP IN MIND: Nha is drive-thru only, so just look for the green sign they share with Modo, and you'll know you're at the right spot.

Both items were so generous and actually fairly large! It also came with a side of their orange sauce for the rolls and fish sauce, veggies/herbs, and chilies on the side for guests who love spicy. Definitely larger portions and super affordable. We picked up the items 30 mins before our party started, and they were still fresh and crispy throughout the whole night! I was expecting the banh khot to get soggy/be soggy but it held up very nicely. I love the way they packaged everything and would 100% recommend for those who need easy finger food for their parties. Also ordering from them was very easy. I did it online a week in advance and they texted me at exactly 530p to let me know it was ready for pickup.

    Four years later and I'm still giving this place 5 stars! I've tried other bánh cuốn places around…read morethe Bay Area, but this is still the benchmark for me. There are other places I can go as backups, but when I want the complete bánh cuốn meal, this is the place to go. Food (5 stars) + The Đặc Biệt is still the #1 order here. It's a huge plate and you get a little bit of everything: the plain rice rolls with shrimp sprinkled on top, bánh cuốn stuffed with meat, pork roll, egg roll, and their crispy fried shrimp cake. Everything complements each other perfectly. + The rice rolls are soft and fresh, and I especially like the ones stuffed with meat. Pour their sweet and savory fish sauce all over it and add some of the red chili peppers if you want some heat. Excellent! + Their fried items are also what separates this place from some of the others. The egg roll is crispy and the fried shrimp cake actually has a nice big shrimp on there. Even the slightly steamed bean sprouts and herbs work perfectly with everything else on the plate. + This time I ordered the smaller plate with just the meat-filled bánh cuốn instead of the Đặc Biệt. It's around $15 and is actually the perfect amount for me where I'm full but not overly stuffed. However, for only a couple bucks more, I'd still recommend the Đặc Biệt. You just get so much more food! Service/Ambiance (3.5-4 stars) + Service is pretty standard for a Vietnamese restaurant. They're not constantly coming around to refill your water, but if you raise your hand or flag someone down, they'll come over and help you. Nobody is looking the other way pretending they didn't see you! + The restaurant itself is pretty small inside, but they have a much larger outdoor seating area. We came during lunch and didn't have to wait long. + I brought my dog Marley so we sat outside. It was a warm day but there was enough airflow that it was actually pretty comfortable. - One strange thing I've noticed during my last two visits: the water has a slight soapy taste. Maybe that's proof they do an excellent job washing their cups, but they could probably use an extra rinse! This time I just brought my own water. 4 years after my original 5-star review, nothing has really changed for me. I've had plenty of bánh cuốn around the Bay Area and this is still the place I compare everyone else to. The service and ambiance might only be around 3.5-4 stars, but I'm not coming here for fancy service. I'm coming for bánh cuốn, and the food is still 5 stars!

We've probably eaten here 50+ times with family and friends, and one thing I can say is that they are 100% consistent. We've never had a bad meal here. There's a great variety of Vietnamese dishes, so everyone can usually find something they like. The chả cá (fish) is one of their popular dishes and a favorite. They also have good chicken phở, broken rice, vermicelli noodles, spring rolls, roll-your-own options, and plenty of soups beyond phở. You can order individual dishes or share family-style, which makes it especially easy when coming with a group. It's very casual, family-friendly, quick, and straightforward--nothing fancy and probably not where I'd choose for a date night. But for a dependable meal with family or friends, it's a great spot. Kids like it, parents like it, and my mom likes it--which says a lot coming from an older Vietnamese person who knows her Vietnamese food! The staff is always efficient and nice, and after all these years, the food remains consistently good. The biggest downside is parking. The entire shopping center has become so busy with restaurants that finding a spot can be overwhelming, especially during peak hours. Also, keep in mind they do not take credit cards. Bring cash, or you can pay electronically through options such as Zelle/Venmo. Overall, this is one of those longtime neighborhood restaurants we keep coming back to because we know exactly what we're going to get: good Vietnamese food, plenty of choices, friendly service, and consistency.

    I have to come back here another time! I'm told that this restaurant used to be smaller and that…read morethey've expanded. The bahn cuon here is really good -- the rice noodle is so fresh and soft and chewy. This was my favorite and the variety was so appreciated as well! It's also surprisingly filling and I would definitely get this next time I'm here. The fish sauce was also delicious as well. (this is in reference to the dish Banh Cuon Tay Ho Dac Biet) Bahn Beo were good sizes and nicely steamed. I wish there was a bit more sauce because I was running out at the end. Toppings are appropriately sized as well Personal take, I didn't really enjoy the fried pork rind topping as much and would have liked more shrimp, but once again, personal preference. I didn't quite enjoy the Hu Tieu, but my friend liked the soup! It's a little too plain for me. I do love the feeling and texture of eating thick, round rice noodles. The banh xeo that came on the side was hard to crunch through, I felt like it was probably sitting on the side for a while. Vibes were nice -- there's a call button to ask for service. Menu has a lot of items as well (e.g. pho, rice plates, etc), so there's something for everyone if you come with a big group! Our server was also really attentive and sweet -- he came by and asked if we wanted additional dishes/bowls since we were sharing food!

    I promise... I'm not a hater. I'm really just telling it how it is. The quality has gone down over…read morethe years, while the prices keep going up. But I'll let y'all be the judge. Let's get into it. B1. Bánh Cuốn Tây Hô Đặc Biệt The only solid item on this combination plate was the ground pork floursheet. Soft texture, flavorful pork, and a good balance with the black fungus. The yam tempura and mung bean tempura, however, were pretty below average. No crunch, little to no flavor, and they tasted like they had been sitting out for a while. The ground shrimp floursheet was disappointing. There was barely any shrimp and mostly just flour sheet. I was sitting there wondering, "Where's the shrimp?!" The fermented pork roll was cool. It was definitely fermented because it had a strong, sour pork aftertaste. Not bad, though. T2. Cha Giờ Thịt Nướng This vermicelli bowl was not it. The pork had the classic lemongrass aftertaste, but it was very light. The texture was also dry, and the portion was pretty sad. It was essentially a salad with noodles, five pieces of pork, and 2 small egg rolls. Egg rolls were skip-worthy.. they barely had any filling. And don't even dare try their pho here either.

    I'm a bit conflicted about this place. The restaurant is small and not very fancy, but the food is…read moreaffordable, the portions are generous, and the taste is good. It's not outstanding, but it's definitely enjoyable. Unfortunately, the service ruined the experience. As soon as I sat down, I hadn't even had a chance to look through the whole menu before the server kept touching my shoulder and repeatedly pressured me to order. I found it very rude and uncomfortable because I really don't like strangers touching me. The older lady did it to everyone in our table, and she didn't seem to realize she was making our entire group uncomfortable, and it affected our whole dining experience. So, would I come back? Absolutely not. One visit was more than enough. I'm not willing to deal with that kind of pushy service again.

    The primary protein meats on the menu were duck and chicken. We ordered duck with a side of noodles…read moreas well as chicken salad with a side of noodles and also some eggrolls. The standout dish was the egg rolls. They arrived hot, golden brown, and perfectly crisp, with a satisfying crunch and a flavorful filling that made them the best part of the meal. The food, however, wasn't the reason for my rating. The restaurant's cleanliness left me concerned. I noticed cobwebs that appeared to have been hanging in place for a long time, along with dirt and grime collecting in corners throughout the dining room. Even the menus felt sticky, with a visible film of grease and small food particles still clinging to them. The faded print and worn condition made them look as though they hadn't been replaced in years. Those details created an impression of neglect that made it difficult to relax and enjoy the meal. With a thorough deep cleaning and some updated menus, this restaurant could create a much more welcoming dining experience. Until then, the cleanliness issues overshadow what was otherwise an average meal.
