    Beautiful interior but the booths were a little dirty. They weren't super busy but it seemed to be a constant flow of patrons coming in and out. I got the Phở Tái Bò Viên with fresh noodles. $22.50 is kinda overpriced for pho and the fresh noodles was an additional $2.50. The broth was very light which is typical for Northern Viet cuisine. For me, I wish there was more flavor. I did appreciate them serving it with cooked bean sprouts and the herbs were very fresh. My friend really enjoyed the Bún Chả Hà Nội. It looked to be more flavorful considering it came in a bowl of fish sauce. Parking here was easy on a weeknight and service was quick.

    I drove by Pho Dang all the time but never had a chance to check it out until recently. My first impression was how modern and clean the decor is. This would be the perfect place to impress a date while sipping pho and enjoying the moment! The pho was delicious. The broth was light with almost no fat layer, but still packed with flavor (though you can request extra fat with onions if you like). They also offer both thick and thin noodles, just like other pho spots. The restaurant also offers a house-made chili paste; it tastes good, but I prefer the original Sriracha with my pho. Service is also great. If you are in the area, definitely check out this spot. Highly recommended!

    Rare Steak Pho, rotisserie chicken
    Madeline R.

    The worst experience i've ever had. We were seated with an attitude. I ordered the chicken rotisserie, which was so dried that i couldnt finish it and it was pricey(19.50 for a dried dish). My bf odered a rare pho which was 22.50 for small portion. They didnt even bring us water, idk if we also have to buy water?!

    Pho Tai Nam Gau

    I ordered the Phở Tái Nạm Gầu. The broth was wonderful--I really enjoyed its rich umami flavor and Northern-style taste. However, the bowl was already expensive at $22.50, and they charged an additional $2.50 for fresh noodles, bringing the total to $25 for one bowl of phở. That is unbelievable, especially when similar bowls at other restaurants cost around $18. At that price, I expected a generous portion of meat, but there was barely any in my bowl. And just to clarify, the two pieces of meatball shown in the photo were given to me by my friend--they did not come with my order! This wasn't my first visit, and the meat portion was even smaller than what I received last time. Although the broth was delicious, the tiny amount of meat and extremely high price made this a very disappointing experience. Unfortunately, I will not be returning.

    Pho Thai chin
    Francie M.

    This place will be a substitute for my beloved Cowboy Pho (RIP). I ordered the pho tai chin which came with a mix of filet mignon and brisket as I couldn't choose. The meat was tender and moist, complemented by the rich broth. Online reviews said to upgrade to the fresh noodles which I'm glad I did as it's the first time I've almost finished pho noodles before (usually it's too much, but these were soft and fresh). Don't sleep on the house made chili sauce (spicy!) and pickled garlic on the table to add some interest to bites. (I found it best to add it to my spoonful of broth/noodles/meat rather than dump into entire bowl to preserve flavor) Logistics: - indoor seating only - plenty of strip mall parking outside, can overflow to Walmart or greater Little Saigon spots

    Fresh veggies on the side.

    First time dining here and thought the pho was relatively good -- I think more pricey per bowl than nearby competitors but I think they may be factoring the amount of meats they add to the bowl. The broth was soothing and on the sweeter side. These guys definitely didn't skimp on the amount of protein added to each bowl and I did notice the noodles were cooked right. Thank goodness. The restaurant itself was nicer than the typical pho joints in San Jose. Service was standard as our server seemed very underwhelmed directing guests to tables -- and lacked enthusiasm taking our order. Paying $90+ after gratuity for three bowls of pho, I would've appreciated at least a smile. I would give this spot another try in the future to know for sure if it makes it to my top three pho spots in town.

    Had the pho tai. Had better tasting broth elsewhere. Very little meat. Not worth the high pricetag. Very upscale ambiance and felt like I was dining at a night club.

    Solid pho joint! Came on a Tuesday night and it was pretty quiet. The pho soup feels clean but flavorful! Meats were well cooked as well. Cute interior, modern and upscale place. Service was on friendly and on point.

    Pho Dang is not your usual pho spot. The interior is classy and stylish. The pho comes out in huge bowls with nice presentation. The parkinglot can be full at times. Spots weren't plentiful, but a little patience can go a long way. Staff seated us and provided water and menus quickly. Ordering through them was easy as well. Fresh noodles are offered! The pho tai was a large bowl with flavorful broth. The fresh noodles were a good texture and not soggy. The meat was more plain than I liked, but not overdone with the hot soup. Green onions and cilantro were plentiful in the bowl. It was also served with a large side of bean sprouts and limes. The pricing is a little steep in comparison to other places, but the quality and ambiance difference is what you're paying for. I'll be back for special occasion pho!

    I want to start off by saying the interior is very well done. The seating and table almost makes me feel like I should not be eating on them. The utensils and dinnerware have a solid, premium feel to them. The servers were very attentive and can take orders in English and Vietnamese. As for the food, they only serve the thin noodles in Pho. The meat is tender but the oxtail was slightly chewy. I think this location is underrated and deserves more attention apart from Vietnam Town.

    Brisket pho with a side of egg in broth. Pickled garlic and chili sauce as well as hoisin and sriracha on the side.
    Staffanie A.

    I was really hoping to love this place. I have seen so many reviews online saying this is the best pho in San Jose. Unfortunately it is not... the broth (the most important part) was not balanced and I was looking for more of that all day cooked beefy taste. For $22.50 a bowl, it should be immaculate! The interior of the restaurant was nice, upscale and remodeled, but I was there for the food. Service was fine (had to ask for more water and a sauce dish) but nothing amazing. I do love the fact that they offer pickled garlic and homemade chili sauce in addition to your typical hoisin and sriracha. The bean sprouts were blanched and they offered culantro, which were pluses. The broth really is supposed to be the star of the show... but i was left disappointed.

    Finally tried Pho Deng and I'm still thinking about that bowl of pho like it changed my personality a little Pho Tai Duoi Bo (Ox Tail Pho) This was hands down the freshest ox tail I've ever had in pho. Not just good. Not just tender. Fresh. The meat tasted clean and pure in a way that's hard to explain. Almost refined. The broth threw me off at first because it's different from most pho spots. I was told they use fewer "random" ingredients, and honestly that makes sense. It's less loud, less spice-heavy, less cluttered. Instead it tastes... pure. Clear. Focused. Like the essence of beef without distraction. I've never had broth like it before. The steak on the menu says filet mignon, and if that's true, that explains everything. The slices were insanely tender and flavorful. Melt-in-your-mouth level. Only note: the broth was warm, not scorching hot. Every pho place I've ever been to serves it lava-level hot, and I love it that way. We all mentioned we prefer it scorching. That said, the upside was we didn't have to wait forever for it to cool down. Silver lining energy Bun Cha Ha Noi I heard this was a newer dish on the menu and wow... this might be my new favorite Vietnamese dish. It comes with white noodles on the side that you dip into the broth. The meat was a mix of pork patties and separate pork pieces. The broth was surprisingly sweet, but in a good way. Balanced, flavorful, really addictive. My only complaint? I wish there was more broth. It was so good that I felt like I ran out too soon. Drinks Peach tea? Bomb. Easy recommendation. Egg coffee? I underestimated it. I've never had it before and treated it like regular American coffee. Big mistake. I chugged it and immediately felt like my heart was about to start doing Olympic sprints It's rich, sweet, and intense. Sip it. Respect it. Small Side Note Both restrooms were out of soap for the entire hour we were there, which was disappointing. Definitely something that should be addressed. Overall, I would absolutely recommend Pho Deng. The ox tail pho was unique and incredibly high quality, the bun cha Ha Noi is something I'll be craving again soon, and the drinks were memorable. If you want a pho experience that tastes clean, refined, and different from the usual heavy-spice profile, this place stands out in a really good way.

    Returned back and it's my first time coming in the morning and service was super fast! From ordering with our server and receiving our food was probably less than 20min. I've never eaten here in the morning before and the change of service is such a difference. I recommend going in the morning if you want everything fast fast fast. I always get the special pho and pickled onions and the broth & meat quality is always consistent. This is on my list of favorite pho in San Jose :)

    I come here pretty regularly for their matcha drinks. My go-to is the honey matcha latte with oat…read moremilk. They give you the option to put double matcha (for the honey matcha latte) which is a plus! The double shot of matcha and the honey pairs really well together. It has the perfect amount of sweetness and a perfect amount of matcha to make it taste rich without being bitter. The strawberry matcha latte has strawberry puree and strawberry bits which makes it taste really sweet. It's a really good contrast of flavors and an overall solid strawberry matcha latte. They also updated the self-ordering kiosk with 2 instead of one now, so there's barely any lines now compared to when they first opened. The drinks are a lot quicker so you don't have to wait too long. There's also no seats inside but there's plenty of waiting space on the outside patio! Overall I would highly recommend this place for matcha lovers. Their matcha is super rich in flavor and they have a lot of options. Sometimes, they also have matcha powder in stock too! The spot is also right off of 280 so it's pretty convenient.

    Izumi is a really solid matcha spot. You can taste the authenticity and quality of the matcha, and…read morethey whisk it really well. My first experience was pretty mid because the ceremonial matcha latte was VERY strong and bitter. I couldn't finish it and it made me super jittery. After coming back a few more times though, I found a couple things I really liked. The Crème Brûlée Matcha was delicious. I finished the entire drink. You can't change the sweetness level, which is unfortunate, but their recommended sweetness actually balanced the stronger matcha really well. The ice cream is probably the best thing here. Super creamy, perfectly sweet and really well blended. I would honestly come back just for the ice cream. The strawberry matcha latte was pretty unmemorable to me, and the hojicha was also extremely bitter. Service was good. The barista was kind and helpful, which I appreciated. You order through a kiosk, so there isn't a ton of interaction overall. When I first came around their opening, there was basically no line. After they started getting more hype, the lines became longer and longer. I think it's worth trying, but personally I wouldn't wait in a huge line for it. Overall, the matcha itself tastes authentic and is prepared well, but some drinks are just too bitter for my preference. My recommendations: the ice cream or Crème Brûlée Matcha. Those were easily the standouts for me.
