Oxtail Pho!!
roger t.

We stopped here before doing some grocery shopping. Tonight I decided to get the oxtail pho since I have been craving the oxtail soups that I get in Hawaii. Service was great - hostess was friendly and they kept checking in on us whether the food was good or we need more water etc. Kids got beefball that they enjoyed and again I got the oxtail pho. The meat came off the bones and I really was hungry since I devoured everything. I also order the lychee drink which was also amazing. I would recommend it. Would come again - we enjoyed the food and service!!! Noise wise there is indoor and outdoor seating. We sat inside and had a nice conversation and was not loud.

This place has some great options. My husband and I wanted some Vietnamese food, but we craved something more than just rice plates and pho. Pho 408 gave us just that. My husband had the bo ne which was so good. I had the snails which I also enjoyed. It was a bit hard to get the meat out of the shell, but the broth it was cooked in tasted great. I would definitely come back and try some other things.

Traditional Summer Rolls

Met my girl here for lunch as she was working in the area for the day. Strangely, Pho 408 is tucked behind Oakridge Mall (in the same parking lot) but it works. The mall entrance leads you immediately to the front of the restaurant. They did a great job with incorporating an outdoor seating patio to maximize the usage of space -- and to attract shoppers walking by with the wonderful aromas of the Vietnamese cuisine. We didn't try their pho but that will be for a future visit. We ordered the following for a party of two: * Gỏi Cuốn Tôm Thịt - Traditional Summer Rolls ($8.95) * Bánh Xèo Chảo Sài Gòn - Saigon Sizzling Pancake ($14.95) * Bánh Hỏi Thịt Nướng - DIY Rice Paper Rolls with Grilled Pork Skewers ($21.95) * Tôm Rang Bơ Tỏi Mì Tỏi - Garlic Prawns with Garlic Noodle ($21.95) * Trà Trái Vải - Lychee Ice Tea ($7.95) * Soda Chanh - ($7.95) Everything was delicious -- as close to authentic flavors as you're going to get in the area (South San Jose). My only feedback would be to have more fresh veggies for the Banh Xeo and DIY wrapping, and maybe a more traditional dipping sauce -- the fish sauce wasn't potent enough for me, haha. Service was excellent. Between rotating servers supporting the outdoor patio, we were checked in on a couple of times and were waited on promptly throughout our visit. Everyone who attended to our table did so with a smile and wonderful enthusiasm. All in all, I was happy with our experience and would gladly return to try other menu items.

Pho was alright, but the broth tasted hella heavy on the MSG On top of that, a whole receipt flew into my soup from the server... and yeah I still ate it lol. Drinks took forever to come out too. Overall not terrible, just definitely could've been better.

Rare slice of steak
Gina U.

From First Visit to Instant Favorite I had lunch at Pho 408 with my son, who has been here many times, but this was my first visit--and it definitely won't be my last. The restaurant itself immediately stood out to me. I love the layout and décor--it's welcoming, spacious, and thoughtfully designed. The bar seating is beautiful, the tables are comfortable with plenty of room, and there's a great outdoor patio area that I'm already looking forward to trying when the weather warms up. The staff was friendly, accommodating, and attentive from the moment we arrived. Service was impeccable without feeling rushed. Now the food--absolutely excellent. The pho was served with the option of fresh rice noodles, which made a noticeable difference. I ordered the rare slice of steak pho, and the portions were generous compared to most places. The steak tasted fresh (not frozen like you often get elsewhere), the vegetables were crisp and plentiful, and the broth arrived piping hot--exactly how pho should be. We also started with the garlic butter wings, and they were so good that we ate most of them before I even remembered to take a photo. That probably tells you everything you need to know! Overall, Pho 408 is easily one of the best pho spots in the area. Fresh ingredients, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere--I highly recommend it.

No.35
Ritchie A.

Came here for lunch and overall had a solid experience. We started with the fresh spring rolls -- super fresh, packed with herbs, and the shrimp was plump. The dipping sauce had great flavor and balance. The garlic noodles were really good -- simple but flavorful, nicely seasoned without being too heavy. The pork BBQ platter was well grilled and flavorful, and the portion was generous. We also ordered No. 35 (beef platter) which came with rice, soup, and salad -- great value for the price. The beef was tender and nicely cooked, and I liked that it felt like a complete meal with the sides included. Service was friendly and the food came out quickly. The space is casual and comfortable -- good for a relaxed lunch. Overall, solid Vietnamese spot for comforting plates and good portions. Would come back.

Wow. This place is legit. It's located inside the mall right next to 99 Ranch. The restaurant was decent sized and pretty clean. The service is very good. They checked on us multiple times for water and other things. My family ordered the pho dac biet (combo). The broth was perfect. The fresh noodles were great also. My favorite was the Bo Ne sizzling plate. Everything that I ate there was really good. I'll be coming back here more often.

Pho #1
Jessica N.

I've eaten at Pho 408 multiple times and the quality has always been consistent. Just because the location is at mall don't let it fool you. The pho and other food options on the menu are very good. Service has always been very great here as well, they always greet you and make sure you're taken care of. It's such a gem to Oakridge mall. The pho broth has been consistent and savory. The #1 combo pho also is packed with a lot of meat. I always leave so full and have it in my rotation of favorite pho spots in San Jose.

Fried chicken skillet combo
Diane T.

Didn't realize this restaurant was more than just a Pho noodle place due to the name. Then I saw the many pictures of all the sizzling plates and what drew me in were the lemongrass pork skewers because it brought me back to my mom's home cooking and the days when she used to make them. I used to help her... painstakingly slicing, marinating, skewering and barbequing those mouth watering skewers. Sadly, the taste didn't live up to the hype. It fell short of all the childhood memories in the taste category, but visually, it was there. Service was great. The filet mignon shaking beef with rice (Com Bo Luc Lac) was pretty good but did not have very much meat. A lot more vegetables than meat. Had they added about 4 more cubes, it would've been worth it. Could be a little more savory and saucier too. The combo of wok-seared filet sizzling plate was the bomb and definitely worth coming back for! So tender and flavorful, albeit a bit thinner than most skillet filets. These skillets were all served with delicious pate, sliced sausage, 2 sunny side up eggs, a big loaf of fresh French bread or steamed rice, a salad with vinagrette dressing over pickled carrots, daikon and a bed of lettuce, and a nice hearty pho broth to wash down your meal. The fried chicken skillet was good but had a lot of Chinese five spice seasoning which I am not the biggest fan of. It was tasty though. Definitely that filet mignon sizzling combo plate... yummm!!! 4 Stars alone for this dish, their amazing sides and great service!

Rice that came with the hot & sour fish soup

I wanted to try a new Vietnamese restaurant for lunch and found Pho 408 was close by in the Oakridge mall They are located across from the entrance of Ranch 99 inside the Westfield Oakridge Mall. There is an ample amount of parking outside of the mall near the restaurant. The restaurant was decorated very nicely with many seating options. When we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the staff and quickly shown to our table. We were given menus and cold water was quickly brought to our table. After the browsing the menu we decided to order. I ordered the vermicelli salad bowl with pork skewers and my husband ordered the hot & sour with catfish served with rice. We also ordered the imperial rolls to share. Our appetizer came out first. The egg rolls were piping hot. You only get 3 per order, which I thought was strange. Usually at all other Vietnamese restaurants you get an even 4 egg rolls per order. They were pretty amazing. They had a nice crunch and were filled with pork and shrimp. The dipping sauce was very good and had a bit of a spicy kick. We really enjoyed them. Our main entrees came out. My husband enjoyed his hot & sour fish soup. There was quite a large portion of fish inside it. My vermicelli salad with pork skewers was amazing. I think out of all the Vietnamese restaurants we've gone to where I've ordered this same dish, this was by far the best I've had. The grilled pork was so juicy and full of flavor. The vermicelli and salad were amazing with the fish sauce dressing. It was outstanding! The service was also excellent. I needed some soy sauce and they quickly brought me some for my meal. The portion size of the food was large. I would definitely come back again. I'd like to try their five spice chicken rice plate next time.

07/10/26 $$ wanted to try a new place inside of the Oakridge mall. Movie and lunch. Pho-408 was clean and we got greeted at the door. Inside seating 77 people and they offer outdoor dining. I had the Pho Special # 1 $ 18.95 it was good the broth was beef. The meat was tasty the small rice noodles are delicious. I've ordered this twice now. Comes with lots of meats. We also had #41 $ 17.95 the Vermicelli salad w/grilled pork skewers. It comes in a bowl everything blended good. We ordered that twice also. We also had #66 $17.96 Chicken Chow Fun. It was good chicken was tasty noodle cooked well very tasty dish. We also tried #59 $17.95 Chicken Fried Rice. Pretty much the same as #66. Everything was good we would come back it's a good break from the food court. It's pricey. Food comes out pretty quick after ordering it. Employees thank you when you leave.

I went here for my anniversary dinner . It's conveniently located inside the oakridge mall , right in front of the 99 Ranch market . There were quite few people inside the restaurant when we arrived on a Friday at 7 pm but they didn't make us wait too long to get seated . Once we were seated , our server came and explained us some of the dishes . Food was super duper good and the portion size was really large . We realized after a while that we ordered more than what we can have . We had to bring some of it back home . I really liked the fish sauce wings and the caramalized catfish . It came with 3 full pieces of catfish , rice , salad ,broth and the server asked me if I would like to have spicy dip kinda thing with it and he warned me it's is quite spicy . I had that as well . Everything was super good . We were there with our kids and the staff was super caring and made sure we are taken care of properly. The server saw my younger one struggling little bit with height of the table and asked if I need a booster seat ( my younger one doesn't like being seated in a child seat so I was happy with the booster) . All in all it was a really nice experience. I am gonna go back here soon .

Pho Dac Biet. Extremely flavorful.
Tram N.

A lot of varieties to choose from including vegetarian options. There is outdoor seating, clean, and inviting space. Service was warm and relatively quick. Gavin ordered their com bo luc lac and I ordered their pho dac biet. I have been sick for 3 weeks; tested negative for the flu and covid yet I am not getting better. I should have eaten a vegetarian diet today per the lunar calendar, but I was not feeling well, and wanted pho. Skeptical at first, but I was quickly proven wrong. The broth is clean and flavorful. A generous amount of tender cuts of meat and tendon. The herbs were fresh. Gavin took one bite of the shaken beef and became a fan instantly. We will return. Next time I will ask for iced water. They gave us room temperature water when we sat down (major plus), but I typically don't want to be a difficult customer, so we just let it be.

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.

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 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.
