    Sugarcane
    Anh P.

    Nuoc Mia Vien Dong 2 is such a refreshing Vietnamese drinks spot in Vietnam Town, SJ! I tried several drinks, including their signature sugarcane juice, sugarcane coconut drink, avocado smoothie, Vien Dong Special, etc. Everything was delicious and reasonably priced. The sugarcane juice was naturally sweet and perfect for a hot day. Sugarcane coconut is my most favorite, a combination of coconut juice and sugarcane drink, lighter than signature sugarcane and feels super tropical. The avocado smoothie was thick and very creamy. They have lots of options on the menu, so there's something for everyone. Definitely recommend stopping by if you're craving Vietnamese drinks or want to try something different!

    My friend was craving pandan waffles here. I'm not a pandan fan but I do love durian waffles! The durian taste is very mild, combined with a very soft and chewy center/crispy edges. The coffee is both sweet and bitter, just how I like it! Def will be coming back!!

    Waffles: Pandan, Strawberry, Durian

    This spot is located on the Walmart side of Vietnam Town, right near Happy Lemon. It's actually a smaller location compared to their original store at the main entrance, but it's def an OG spot and super well-loved by locals. I came here specifically for their waffles this time. Just a heads up--cash only if under $10. I ended up getting 3 flavors: pandan, strawberry, and durian for $12 total. Service was fast and friendly. Wait time was about 15-20 mins because they were busy on the weekend. Each waffle is pretty big and thick, texture-wise it's soft with a slight crunch and a little chewy. Flavor-wise... it was just okay tbh. Not too sweet, which I like, but nothing super special. I guess it based on personal reference but I've definitely had better waffles at other spots. Strawberry and pandan had a medium scent/flavor, not super strong. The durian one actually had a light fragrance and my friend surprisingly liked it LOL (it was her first time trying anything durian so I was lowkey nervous for her reaction) Overall, this place is still a classic in the Viet community and their nước mía is pretty good (I do come back for that from time to time). But for the waffles alone... it was just alright, not really something I would go out of my way for.

    Sorry, I forgot to take picture before I dug into the drinks and snacks!  It was good!

    My Vietnam-raised parents love this place - they eagerly ask me to drive them here every time they're visiting in town for the drinks and sugarcane juice. The dessert and drinks are authentic and reminds them of their childhood in Vietnam. The service is fast and the drinks are fresh. I tried the durian waffles today - it was pretty good and only $4! Sparsely decorated but plenty of inside seating and dog friendly patio seating outside. Free parking as part of the strip mall.

    Literally the best pandan waffle in the plaza. It's crunchy, fragrant and yummy. My favorite kumquat sugar cane as well. It's refreshing and lightly sweet. They're always playing Vietnamese music videos in the background and there's plenty of tables inside and outside to hang out.

    I went on a Saturday around 1pm and they were very busy. Ordered a sugar cane drink with durian and a durian waffle. The durian in the drink was very light. The waffle came out fresh and still steaming in the paper bag. Had to take it out so it would remain crispy on the outside and slightly chewy on the inside. The durian flavor was good and at only $4 a waffle it's a steal. I would come back and just to try their taro flavor next. The sugar cane drink is alright. Credit cards are accepted.

    Worst Nuoc Mia I have ever gotten. I got the passion fruit nuoc mia and i couldn't even taste the passion fruit or nuoc mia.... They also have a $10 minimum for credit card payment which was very annoying. Wouldn't recommend this place at all

    Service is quick as there wasn't that many people there. Plenty of seating inside and out. But the whole place needs an upgrade. But for the food it was okay. The Che dessert wasn't sweet but it did lack flavor and taste. It was bland. The mango smoothie was great. Sweet and perfectly smooth.

    $4 waffles, 5 different flavors. I'm there. A great affordable sweet treat. They're thick, crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. The service is quick, and there is seating both inside and outside available.

    4$ for a full sized FRESH waffle here. I always get pandan flavor. It's hard to resist when the smell ushers you in from outside. The taste is simple and sweet and can't be beat. Bring cash because there's a 10$ minimum for card so you'd need to buy 3 waffles to go over that. Most places in this plaza offer a cash only discount as well, so it's worth to have on hand if you plan on going to some other spots after. I'd get a bit full eating more than one though and they're much better fresh so keep that in mind. If you want go ahead and get fresh sugar cane juice to push it over the card limit. It's so refreshing!

    The customer service here was really disappointing. Both employees looked completely uninterested in being there. They never smiled, weren't welcoming, and gave the impression that they didn't want to help customers. On top of that, everything moved extremely slowly--from taking orders to making drinks. Overall, the experience felt cold, unprofessional, and uninviting. Honestly, they should've saved some joy and excitement for the rest of us. The drinks were really good though when we eventually got them.

    Small drinks and desert restaurant. Modern Viet music in the background. Order at counter and they squeeze your sugarcane juice right there in front of you. Tasted great on a hot day.

    This shit is for real at $4!!! PANDAN filled!
    Brenda L.

    Fast service, good pricing, delicious pandan waffles and the sugar cane drinks are to die for!! They also have the durian flavor waffle so get ready to smell the stink but it's also so very good. Seating are only outside because a lot of people wait inside. When I come to little Saigon in San Jose, I don't skip this.

    They're moving to a new location somewhere in the area, but as of August 9th they are located inside of Bun Rieu Cua Tan Dinh Unit #9045 Menu is still the same, but they're… 

    What is the new address?

    999 Story Road #9045, San Jose, CA 95122.

    As of June 10, do they move back to their own shop or still combine with Bun Rieu Cua?

    Went today (July 3) and they're open at their original location.

    Are they open for take out during the pandemic?

    Yes they are! I drove here and saw some signs. They are actually doing take out at "Bun rieu Cua Tan Dinh" a couple blocks down in the same plaza. Seems like they combined their business for now.

Enter through the front entrance of the Grand Century Mall, turn left and make your way down the hall to the food court. Among the colorful array of food shops, is a bright green shop that is Nuoc Mia Ninh Kieu where a silvery machine to the left is seen squeezing out sugarcane juice! I shouldn't say that I hate carrots -- that's unbecoming of me -- but I strongly dislike carrots. This is one of the only ways I would enjoy carrots: nuoc mia ca-rot! I rarely order anything else from here but I would encourage you to explore their menu and come back for more! Nuoc mia ca-rot has a wonderful blend of mild earthiness of the carrot and the grassy undertones of sweetness from the sugarcane. It takes the edge off of what would otherwise be a very sweet drink! I would much prefer nuoc mia over boba milk tea (particularly on hot, summer days!). Sugarcane juice is a bit pricey here, but I chalk it up to this is a specialty shop just for nuoc mia which lends a certain nostalgia for Vietnam. There are versions of the drink here that you can't get anywhere else. If you want to experience a taste of Vietnamese culture, Nuoc Mia Ninh Kieu is a great place to start! Try them out!

Ninh Kieu is pretty well-known for their fresh pressed sugarcane juice (made when you order!!) and also got a bunch of specialty healthy juice combos.

My all-time go-to is the OG sugarcane juice with kumquat... soooo refreshing, sweet with that little citrus kick, just hits every time. I also brought my bestie with me and it was her first time trying sugarcane juice ever, and she loves strawberry so I got her that flavor... tell me why she got OBSESSED. She literally finished the whole thing in 30 mins and was still talking about it 2 days later saying she was craving it again lol. Price is pretty average compared to other spots, nothing crazy, but the quality is always consistent and fresh which I appreciate.

Club music was being played loudly so working here would not be ideal if you have to present in meetings. The tropical paradise fruit tea would've been better with a topping or two, but in an attempt to cut down on calories consumed I've began getting drinks without toppings. Unfortunately fruit tea without toppings is just not the same, but this was totally my choice and on me. The WiFi worked well. There are some outlets under the booths but none at the tables. I've been to other Rose Tea Lounge locations and I'd say that this one is definitely more club-like than others. Not the ideal place to work remotely by any means, but that's not to say that the drinks are bad or ambiance is poor. If you're looking to chat and catch up with friends, this spot would be a good choice.

I remembered Hien Khanh Dakao opened recently and decided to stop by. The inside of the shop is small, though the seating arrangement inside looked roomy with bar seating against the window, tables, and even a bench. The decor and ambiance were very floral and inviting as well. The shop was completely empty when I arrived aside from a lady behind the counter who appeared to be eager to take my order. Since soursop is somewhat hard to find on a menu anywhere, I decided to order the Soursop Snowhite under blended drinks (I'm not sure if the misspelling was intentional or not). This was one of the two most expensive items on the menu and came out to $10.95 after tax, which is quite pricey for a simple smoothie without anything added to make the price justifiable. My drink was ready in about five minutes. If I had to guess, the cup size used was 16 oz with overflow in the cap. The drink had the soursop flavor I was hoping for and the texture was thick, but fortunately not overly thick that it was hard to suck out of a straw. However, I only noticed smalls bits of soursop as if only a small amount of real fruit was used and the rest of the flavoring was artificial or filler. For $10.95 I was definitely expecting more in terms of quality and I felt ripped off getting this smoothie. Perhaps I should've played it safe and ordered a che dessert or one of their special drinks. I'm not sure if Hien Khanh Dakao gets busy during peak dining hours or on weekends, but I could see why I was the only customer during the time of my visit. I think I would've had a better experience if the pricing was not much higher than drinks from other businesses in Vietnam Town. I think I'll purchase a drink from one of the many other competing drink spots the next time I'm in the area.

This drink consists of longan, grass jelly, pandan jelly, basil seeds, coconut meat, and coconut juice. They did not skimp on the toppings at all and the jelly here was sooo soft!

Not too much seating though, so we just grabbed it to go :) Overall, I had a good experience here. If I was having dinner in Vietnam Town, I'd grab this again for dessert!

If you consistently make people wait this long, don't expect them to keep coming back. The drinks used to be one of the reasons I loved this place. They weren't the absolute best in San Jose, but they were good enough that I kept returning. Unfortunately, the quality has noticeably declined. One day the coffee is overly bitter, another day it's overly sweet. The taste is inconsistent from visit to visit, which tells me there is little quality control. I'm extremely disappointed.
