Price is bit higher than others around the area. We had spring roll, the roll has no problem but the sauce was too water down and bit of lack taste. We got #1 pho $18.95 and pho with rare steak and brisket. If you want fresh noodle $1.5 more which we didn't order. My pho with rare steak and brisket cost $16.95 pretty expensive consider I only got total 6 pc of meat. Kind of lack! Soup base is good. Waiter and Waitress always asked everything good, and send us bill very quick even they are not full. We probably only comes if we go to mall or else I don't think I will come back with this high price less volume meal. read more

Ok my mom and I have been complaining for the longest time that south SJ around the Oakridge area needs way more Viet restaurants. We have like 3 options down here compared to the east side. Well. It finally happened. This new viet spot replaced the Chinese (?) noodle restaurant, (next to 99 Ranch) and already it looks like it's received much better by the locals. They have indoor/outdoor seating and the interior is really modern with warm wood touches, outdoor was really nice considering the weather and the noise was very low. // Food // I got the Pho Dac Biet, usually my go to litmus test for a pho spot's overall ability to deliver a bowl of rich beef broth + the noodles and toppings. It was surprisingly decent! No overwhelming or detectable saltiness of (too much) msg. The body of the broth was good, and a touch on the sweeter side so I think they go a bit extra on the rock sugar. The portion of protein was a bit disappointing, and a bit "scrappy"/shredded up, this is something I hope they can work on since there's only 1 size for the pho bowls. // Drinks // I wanted some coffee / matcha but TPTEA was closed today, and the pictures on the menu for this coffee spot looked really promising and did NOT disappoint at all. I got the Coconut Coffee / Cafe Sua Da Dua. For $5.50 you get nicely sized cup of coffee that doesn't disappear after 4 sips. The coffee was strong but rounded out by whatever creamer they paired it with. The coconut cream on top didn't taste artificial , was perfectly sweet to pair with the coffee. I'm just really surprised by the coffee, I don't usually expect too much of drinks from restaurants but this spot is going to be my new go to for Viet coffee for the proximity, price, and taste. // Service // Everyone was nice, checking in frequently to see how you're doing / if you've ordered yet already. The food took maybe 7-10 minutes to come out Takeaway - I saw they served Bo Ne (Vietnamese sizzling beef breakfast dish) which I'm excited to come back and try. They have a good variety of dishes on the menu (even if small) that I think a lot of folks could appreciate if not coming here for pho. Going to update my review once I try it out ! read more

Pho 408 - Lemongrass pork - Vietnamese Near Me - San Jose, California

We were shopping around at Oak Ridge Mall and stopped for lunch. We didn't realize that it was only the second day since they opened. The hostess was very friendly and we were seated immediately. The restaurant is very clean and has modern vibe. They have indoor and outdoor seating. I had the Pho with chicken and the eggrolls. My husband had garlic prawns with noodles. We both loved our meals! They were full of flavor and serving size was perfect. Can't wait to go back. read more

I've been seeing Pho 408 every time I go to the mall and finally got the chance to try it out today. The moment you walk in, the aroma of pho hits you--and I loved that. I wasn't really in the mood for pho, so I ordered the beef chow fun, which was so good. I also got to try my boyfriend's pho, and the broth was incredibly flavorful and aromatic--honestly, probably one of the best I've had at a restaurant. The servers were super attentive, and our water glasses were always full. The decor was also modern and stylish, which made the experience even better. I really enjoyed the crispy tofu appetizer too--it was seasoned perfectly and packed with flavor. The only thing I wouldn't recommend is the sugar cane juice. It didn't taste fresh and was more like a generic fruit juice than real sugar cane. Other than that, I definitely recommend giving this place a try! read more

The service was pretty good and they were friendly. The owner was at the entrance and greeting people/helping out, which is nice to see. My parents are pretty picky about viet food (we're viet), but even they enjoyed the food here. I would say food was above average as there wasn't anything that was particularly bad. Pho dac biet was pretty decent, not the best. We also got a banh mi chao bo luc lac to share and it's slightly on the sweeter side, but the flavoring was tasty and the beef was tender. It also came with a side salad and bowl of pho broth. The banh xeo chao was a flat banh xeo on the sizzling platter, which helped to keep its crispiness. The banh xeo batter had some coconut milk, which made it taste somewhat "beo", or creamy. I can see how with their batter, if they didn't have it on a sizzling plate, it would've gotten soggy and soft quick. They also had a decent amount of drinks on the menu, but what caught our eye was the fresh pennywort juice. Out of the three different variations of pennywort juices we got (red bean, coconut, and grass jelly), definitely my pennywort coconut was the tastiest -- not too sweet, but nice and creamy. One thing to note is that the food also came out surprisingly quick! Like the pho and banh mi chao literally came out within 5 minutes, while the banh xeo took maybe 10 minutes. Pricing is on par with other vietnamese restaurants in SJ I would say. I would come back if I'm in the area, but wouldn't go out of my way. read more

The restaurant is in Oakridge mall, across from Ranch 99. It has an extensive menu, and it looked promising but turned out to be very disappointing. First, the waitress did not speak Vietnamese, a very bad sign. I order the shaking beef with rice. They featured shaking beef with noodles or rice or salad. Shaking beef is supposed to be tender filet mignon. It's called out as filet mignon on the menu description. But what I got was tough and chewy. A low grade of meat. And the portion was very small. For a $24 dollar plate, I got a big portion of plain white rice and a lot of lettuce, topped with a small portion of beef, peppers and onions. A bad experience. Also, not much in the way of decor, and the service was taking the order and that was it. Really bad all around. read more

Me and my husband came from Sacramento, driving more than 2 hours to San Jose on the Sunday for a trip. I search up on Yelp and saw this place have a lot of good reviews and decide to try it out. First of all, all the workers there are super nice, and caring. They keep coming back and check up on us and ask if we need anything. The foods are extremely delicious, like oh wow, amazing. I tried many other places and none can meet my expectations, until we came here. Even my husband is amazed. Phở is the best, cafe sữa đá tastes like Vietnam, reminded me of my country. Super worth my trip here, worth the long hours drive, worth the prices. Definitely gonna come back here again. read more

We really liked the food and service here! We had the grilled pork sandwich and pho with rare steak and brisket. They were both good. It's probably the best pho place in south San Jose. I'm sure east side San Jose has much better pho places but this place is great for the location. Sandwich is $10 which is fair for a full sandwich. I think subway charges more. The owner and waiters were very nice. Next time we want to try one of the sizzling plates. read more

Great convenient neighborhood Vietnamese restaurant. The sizzling plates are the stand out item for me. My friends loved their pho they got the #3 with fresh pho noodles. The broth is very flavorful, you can tell the person who made it has been doing so a while. The service is excellent, the staff is very helpful and attentive. There is indoor and outdoor seating available, which is nice especially on days with nice weather. The vibe is casual and nice. read more

Lots of options at this new restaurant, but both my hubby and I went for #14, the big beef rib pho with fresh wide noodles. It came out within 5 minutes and you couldn't help but notice how the broth was very clear and not oily on top AND the beef was nicely sliced for you. Broth was perfectly flavored, comforting and not too salty, and the beef was so tender and packed with deliciousness. Had a ton of pho in my life, but this bowl is now my favorite! Restaurant is clean and bright, menu is extensive, the service is very helpful, and the food is definitely elevated from your regular pho joint. Give them a try as we'll be back for sure! read more

Pho 408 had searched just noticed that this Resturant is as well located in Oakridge Mall.

Other parent had been present as he had ordered separately as for dining in had been of paid for of service for dine in.

Delicious and authentic. Will order the shrimp roll every time! soup is very good as well.

Pho 408 replaced Super Dish in Oakridge mall. It's conveniently located across from 99 Ranch Market, right next to the mall exit. Pho 408 has a pretty big menu, offering a variety of dishes in addition to the obvious phở. In particular, both my wife and I were immediately drawn to the various bánh mì chảo (sizzling plate with bread) on the menu. While the pan sauce was more oily than I like, I'm very happy that I can get this here and skip the 20 minute drive to Little Saigon. Pho 408 also has a big selection of drink options. Besides the usual Viet coffee, they also have some less common drinks like nước mía (pressed sugarcane juice), and rau má (pennywort juice). read more

Pho 408 at Oakridge Mall, across from 99 Ranch, is just okay--nothing special. Honestly, the food felt bland, almost like something I'd make at home with one of those pho kits. I ordered the rare steak pho, but by the time it got to me, the steak was fully cooked. I'm guessing the broth was too hot or something, but it definitely wasn't rare. Pricing seemed a bit high for what you get, considering the food is average at best. Another annoyance: even though there were plenty of open tables, they packed everyone right next to each other. I get they want to maximize space, but it just felt uncomfortable. Overall, it wasn't terrible, but it wasn't good enough to make me want to go back. read more

We visited on a Sunday afternoon and there's plenty of parking we found a spot right away. I ordered the sizzling fried chicken combo. The combo was delicious and everything was caramelised on the hot plate and the fried eggs with the baguette and the pate were savory perfection.

The ambiance was very aesthetics and cute outside, very new and pretty restaurant! read more

I have mixed feelings about this place. I think the pho was quite good, but was turned off when they charged $1.50 more for the fresh noodles. The places I've been to did not charge for different types of noodles. The fresh noodles were also too wide, not like the typical wide noodles. I wish the meat portions were bigger. The soup was very hot, which was my favorite thing about the meal. It was also quite clean and the food came out fast. The service was prompt. I would still go again since it's convenient right across ranch 99. read more

This place is surprisingly good. If you are looking for good pho noodles, this place is a great choice.

Pho 408 is newly opened Vietnamese restaurant! The food here is delicious. I ordered the Bo Ne Special Combo, and everything on that plate was super flavorful. It comes with a side of soup and salad which a lot of places don't offer. The other dish was Shrimp Garlic Noodles and those were seasoned nicely. I would recommend anyone stopping here after shopping at the mall. It might be tricky to find, but its located next to Anderson Bakery! read more

Today, i went there for dinner. Wow ! What happen to this place ?? This place was my No. 1 pho to go place, now they change almost everything. They change the ceramic bowl which could keep the soup warm into the plastic one. The meats are far less than before, plus the noodles are not well cooked. Please seriously consider not to lower your quality and good reputation, instead consider to raise your price if costs is the main reason for you to make ALL the bad changes. Thanks read more

It's truly hard to find a good bowl of phở in the bay areas, but we found our at Phở 408. I tasted the broth, and I said this is what phở broth should be We didn't need to drink so much water after the meal because their cooking has no msg. Yay! We also tried Bánh Xèo & Ốc sào dừa & Bò Né and they were delicious. About the dessert, the custard was delicious. Made with caring by tofu & drizzle with honey that a diabetic & milk free person can enjoy. We enjoyed rau má dừa & mía dừa tươi too! Very refreshing.

Wow I was impressed by this place. Pho broth was good, with ample amount of meat. I only wished they used fresh noodles instead of dried. The shaking beef was well seasoned and tender, served with watercress which is the authentic version-- that bitter bite softened by the meat juices... so yummy! Spring rolls were hearty with good wrapper and super fresh. The Cha Ca Là Vong was also good. Not many restaurants serve this northern Vietnamese specialty. My only suggestion would be to top the dill with sizzling oil to bring out the flavor of the dill. And owners, if you are reading, please add Bun Bo Hue to your menu! Outside of the food, I have to say the service was so sweet and attentive. Probably one of the best I've had at a Viet mall restaurant. Keep it up!! We will definitely come back. read more

I wanted to try out the pho here after this shop replaced Super Dish. Came on a weekday at 11:30 A and was seated quickly. The location looks pretty much the same and there is outdoor seating if you opt for it. My companion ordered the ox-tail and I got the beef rib pho. My dish came out as 2 bowls: The larger one had the pho in it, and a smaller bowl contained the rib bone and I was provided scissors to cut the meat off - a novelty for me to try. The food itself was fine, although we both agreed that the amount of pho noodles was the skimpiest that we have ever seen. My companion commented that they finished their meal and usually they don't when we go out, so is that an indication of shrinkflation or similar? It was around $18 per bowl for us, so we were expecting more. The staff checked in multiple times while we were there to make sure everything was fine. It was nice to try this place out, service and how the food tastes is good but I'm reluctant to visit again based on the small amount of pho noodles that was provided. read more

Great Vietnamese restaurant in Oakridge Mall adjacent to Ranch 99. The pho broth is beef based and flavorful. I tried both the short rib pho and the filet mignon banh mi. Both delicious.
