    Quail
    Nancy L.

    Rare delicacies like razor clams, snails, and quail. Food was good and reasonably priced. Service was good. This is add on menu to their pho restaurant.

    Now that I've visited again, a few comments: The establishment itself could be cleaner. During both times I visited, there was this musty, almost moldy smell throughout the entire restaurant. While the seafood was decent, I didn't think any of the flavors stood out. The sauces saved each dish. The sides, like macaroni and rice, were not good. Macaroni (that came with the steak) was SO bland but they give you more than half the plate of it. Rice (for com Bo luc lac) was so mushy it was like sticky rice.

    So good and such great value! I hope the prices and portions stay exactly the same! Oc Mien Tay is basically in New Saigon Pho.One establishment but two menu. I heard about Oc Mien Tay from random ads for their New Year special through social media and came after the promo ended, but even then, everything was still very fairly priced. The $5 beer poured over ice and the charred, smoky flavors of the razor clams loaded with green onions instantly reminded me of Vietnam. The chicken feet salad was packed with flavor and well-seasoned, and the lemongrass clams came out super generous in portion. The whelk had a nice chew and was still really enjoyable. You can tell there's real effort and care put into each dish. Part of me wants to gatekeep this spot, but at the same time, I want to see them thrive. Definitely worth checking out!

    Sweet snail with tamarind sauce

    Came on a friday at 6:30p and were seated right away. The service was fast, attentive, and friendly. The food was pretty good, obviously not as good as Vietnam but probably the best in the bay area for viet seafood. Large portions and cheap prices. Relatively fresh seafood. Would come back to try other menu items. Between 4 people we shared: - hu tieu - fried squid tentacles - grilled oysters with green onion - razor clams with green onion - sweet snail with tamarind sauce The hu tieu was light and tasted like real broth, not bullion based. A bit light on the toppings, but I think that's because we shared between 4 people. The squid was well fried and seasoned. I really liked dipping it in the tamarind sauce from the snails. The oysters were FAT, tasted fresh, and had a bunch of soup in the shells. The razor clams tasted a bit old. Probably my least favorite dish. But still good with sauce. The sweet snails were big and plump and the tamarind sauce was soooo good.

    This may not be the best Vietnamese seafood restaurant in the South Bay, but it may be the only one in the Milpitas area that serves similar dishes to Nem Restaurant, Oc Lau Nuong, Blue Monkey, Dong Que, Oc Cay Dua, etc. The next closest would be in the Berryessa area. Not the best restaurant I've tried but what this place has going for it is the price. Less expensive than most of the other places named above for razor clams, scallops, oysters, whelks, mussels, etc. Their sauces are ok. Can't rival the sauces at some of its competitors, but the value is there if you're into this type of seafood. Large parking lot shared with other businesses. Staff are friendly. Casual interior.

    The snails and clams here were really fresh. They were prepared well, so much flavor. We love the variety of sauces that they provided. I'm definitely a sauce girly. The service was good. Foods came out pretty quick. The restaurant looks like they would be great for larger party as well. The price is pretty reasonable compared to some other Vietnamese seafoods restaurants.

    Customer service 5/5 Food quality 4/5 Portion and price 5/5 Food comes out pretty fast. The balut with tamarind sauce are tasty, especially they fried the outer layer to be crispy and soft inside. Exactly how you would get in Saigon. The tamarind sauce are tasty and well balance. The razor clam are properly clean and well seasoned. The thai style steamed clams are delicious and meaty We enjoyed the various of dipping sauces as well! Lastly, the garlic butter noodle is okay for me but my kid love it. The grill shrimp are dry imo. Definitely coming back to try others dishes.

    Very good price for the Ốc items. Not as crowded as some other Ốc places in San Jose. Very chill place to relax enjoy some beer and drinking food without being bother. Would recommend you to try this place for the Ốc items.

    Absolutely loved this hot pot! The broth was rich and flavorful with a naturally sweet taste, clearly slow-simmered to perfection. The oxtail was incredibly tender, the tendon had a nice chewy bite, and the beef balls were juicy and satisfying. The taro added a creamy, comforting texture, and everything paired perfectly with the fresh greens and springy egg noodles. Portions were generous and the pot came out steaming hot--perfect for sharing with friends or family. Definitely a must-try if you're a fan of hearty, comforting hot pot. Service is also very friendly and attentive. I'll be back for this again!

It wasn't really special and the shrimp seemed old/not fresh. Also the shrimp poop is fully intact so beware. Their service is SUPER slow. Took them 10-15 after being seated to get water/utensils. Food also took another 15+ minutes. It wasn't particularly busy but there were only 2 waiters. Also, they do not clean up the tables around you. With 8 tables of service, 5 of them had all their used plates sitting on the table. Lastly, I had to request 25% of the bowls/utensils to be exchanged bc they were dirty/had leftover food.

    I've been coming to Anh Hong Saigon for 3+ years, and it still reigns as one of my absolute…read morefavorite spots for some really consistently delicious Vietnamese food! The most impressive aspect of dining here is the freshness of the produce. A lot of their main entrees are paired with a platter of herbs and lettuce which always taste insanely fresh, as well as a plate of pickled carrots and radish, bean sprouts, and cucumbers. Using the provided rice paper to make your perfect rice rolls with your choice of protein is not only really amusing, but seriously so delicious because you get to make the rice rolls exactly how you like it! My favorite appetizers include the Banh Xeo and the Cha Gio (they have 2 variants and they're both great)! As for entrees, I almost always order from their Banh Hoi options. Banh Hoi is a sheet formed from layered rice noodles and it's always the perfect compliment to their various meat options when placed inside the rice rolls. If you ever come with a big group of friends and family, order a catfish! It comes with the same previously mentioned herbs and vegetables and having a group of friends digging into a whole roasted catfish is such a life altering experience. The catfish varies in market price based on the weight of the fish, and depending on how big your group is, you might just be able to finish the whole thing! The kitchen cooks it to such a delectable tender doneness and they top it with fresh garnishes and fried onions, giving it a delicious aroma. If you're ever in the Milpitas area, I recommend you check out Anh Hong Saigon! The front of house employees are super efficient and the food always comes out so fast and so consistent.

    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.

There are a myriad of pho restaurants around the South Bay, but Pho Kim Long has always felt like one of the more nostalgic and reliable options for me. You pretty much know what you're going to get every time: a good portion, a flavorful bowl of pho, and good-quality cuts of meat. The broth has plenty of flavor without feeling overly greasy, and the meat is generally lean without being excessively fatty. My usual order is the #1 large, and I'm glad they include tripe since not every pho spot does. It's one of those places I can come back to whenever a pho craving hits and know I'll be satisfied. It may not be the newest or trendiest pho spot around, but there's something to be said for consistency, especially when you're craving a comforting bowl of pho.

It is next to the Hui Lau Shan, which is great when we want dessert after This restaurant is very unique, as most of the dishes main component is mushrooms, which provide a different umami taste than regular dishes. We have tried the crispy silkworms, tom yum fried chicken, beef noodle soup, mushroom hot pot, chicken liver pate and yao tiao, laksa fried rice, stir fry cheung fun, wild mushroom conserva. Out of everything, I definitely recommend the tom yum fried chicken, mushroom hot pot and the laksa fried rice! Although the fried chicken doesn't have tom yum flavor, they fry the chicken very well, and the tom yum dipping sauce is on pointtt. The mushroom hot pot is definitely a favorite of mine. They give a lot of food -- it is warm, comforting. The broth also has a lot of flavor as well. The fried rice is definitely a top fave. They do a wonderful job incorporating the wok hei, which not a lot of restaurants can do. It is very present throughout the rice, and elevates the rice past the laksa flavor. The pineapple was a great touch and give it a hint of sweetness. I would pass on the wild mushroom conservative. It feels like they just stirfry it in butter, and that was it. I like the silkworm, but I know it's not for everyone. It is crunchy and it tastes kind of like peanut butter LOL. it is a great appetizer. I'm glad this place offers it. I think I've gotten a couple drinks -- alcoholic, and non-alcoholic. Also one of their ice creams. They didn't really leave a standout impression on me but still good to try!
