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.

Pandan dream

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!

Pandan Dream (20 oz)
Susannah C.

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.

Pandan Dream

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 :)

Dirty Pandan
Christina T.

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.

Pandan dream
Lisa N.

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.

Pandam Dream
Eric H.

Came here on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't busy. This place is currently drive-through only. They also show up at events so check their social media accounts from time to time to find out where they'll be. Their drinks are non-customizable and have a small selection, but each of their drinks are amazing! My favorite is the pandam dream, very creamy and flavorful pandam taste. The best pandam drink I've ever had!

Broth was not so warm but has such clear clean taste. Can taste the aromatics more than the fish sauce in the broth; had a lot of celery like flavor. There were a couple of ribs in the broth with tender meat attached to it. I got the Nam Vang with egg noodles instead of rice noodles. The seasoning for the noodles had a slightly sweet sauce. Noodles itself was perfectly cooked, slight chew to it and not soggy. The dish had the sweet, salty, savory combo The egg rolls were on the smaller side but tightly packed with delicious ground pork. Crispy outside. Came with the slightly spicy sweet fish sauce with chili. The banh beo chen came in one small plate instead of little dipping sauce plates. It had minced shrimp (more like crumbles), friend pork rinds pieces, and green onions. I like that they used shrimp instead of mung bean paste. The steamed tapioca/rice cake base was also topped with fried pork rinds and fried shallots (tasted like smoky onipn rings). The combination of all the texture and taste was well balanced. Sweet, salty, umami.

The Bun Cha Ha Noi is fantastic. The pork belly was grilled perfectly, and it came with a huge assortment of veggies, a big bowl of sauce, and a good amount of rice paper. I loved being able to easily dunk everything into the sauce. Even the small portion was enough for 2 people. The Banh Mi Chao Bo Luc Lac was just okay. I liked that the pate was warmed up with the rest of the dish, and the beef cubes were well seasoned, but they could have been more tender. We also got the fried chicken wings in garlic fish sauce. The flavor on the outside was great, but the breading was a bit dense and the inside needed more flavor. The service was great and they checked on us several times. There is also lots of blue monkey decor throughout to live up to the name.

Banh cuon Dac biet 1000/10 - it's freshly made you can just tell. It comes with the meat filled one and the shrimp one, and let me tell you, the rice flour roll itself is so flavorful, soft and silky. I've truly never had anything like it. They put a generous amount of meat inside this banh cuon and it complements so well with the fried shallots. Bun rieu 9/10 - the soup was so umami and flavorful, they included a big crab ball inside with tons of tofu and noodles, portions in this dish are generous as well. I think the main star dish here is the banh cuon though It only took me so long to try because every time I come, there's always a super long line but luckily today there was no wait! This place has been on my radar for 4 years! They also cater so if I ever just want to eat banh cuon in the comfort of my home I might just order a big platter to eat and share with my friends!

The rice sheets are always fresh, soft, and perfectly chewy. We love ordering the dac biet, which comes with a wide variety of meats and seafood that all come together to create the perfect bite.

This restaurant may look unassuming from the outside, but the food is absolutely delicious. We were seated immediately, greeted with water, and our order was taken promptly. The food came out quickly, and when we were finished, we simply paid at the front counter. The restaurant is simple and straightforward because the food truly speaks for itself. I'm so glad my grandma introduced me to this place. It's become one of our favorite lunch traditions, and I'll definitely be back whenever I'm craving one of my favorite Vietnamese dishes.

I usually order their Bun Bo Hue in a large size so I can enjoy some at the restaurant and still have leftovers to take home later. Service is always quick--you get seated right away, and someone usually takes your order within a minute or two. The food comes out fast, hot, and fresh every time. No matter what time of day I visit, there are always people eating here, which speaks for itself. The broth is incredibly flavorful while still being light and aromatic. Combined with the variety of toppings and fresh vegetables, it's hard not to dig in the moment it hits the table (as you can probably tell from the photo, lol). The restaurant has plenty of seating, making it a great place to bring family and friends. When you're finished eating, you simply walk up to the counter, tell them your table number, and pay. Just keep in mind that they only accept cash or debit cards. If you're looking for a comforting bowl of Bun Bo Hue, especially on a rough morning after a night out, this is definitely the place to go. I will always come back here.

Unfortunately, the service was not very welcoming--the staff came across as blunt, impatient, and at times rude--but I could have overlooked that if the food had fully lived up to the hype. The broth made a good first impression and clearly included many of the right spices, although it was also quite salty. As I got further into the bowl, however, the flavor started to feel flat and lacked the rich, slow-simmered depth I expect from a restaurant that specializes in this dish. It tasted more heavily seasoned than deeply developed, so experienced bún bò Huế fans may find it underwhelming. The meat was also not as tender as I would have liked, and the congealed blood--usually my favorite part--was overcooked and dry rather than smooth and tender. The visible holes suggested it may have been cooked too quickly at too high a temperature. Overall, the meal was decent and had some good flavors, but the broth, meat, and service did not meet my expectations. I can understand why it is popular, but I would probably try another bún bò Huế spot next time.
