I heard this place has the best bun bo hue and it was quite disappointing because it was just ok. For almost $20, I felt like the average pho I get in the area was much more satisfying. The flavors just weren't there, and the meats were ok. There were plenty of noodles. It's hard to compare but the best bun bo hue I've had is still in LA. Was really hoping to find a solid BBH spot out in the Bay Area. The search continues. Really quick and friendly service though! Parking can be tough in this plaza. read more

Pho Ga An Nam - Bun Bo Hue - Vietnamese Near Me - San Jose, California

I recently found out this location is a sister of Bun Bo Hue next door, they specialize in pho, duck and chicken soups! It's funny how I've come to this plaza numerous times and have not noticed this neighboring spot, fully decked out with Labubus. Anyways, I defintely recommend y'all stop by and check them out while you're in the area. read more

Not too busy on a Saturday afternoon. Parking lot is quite busy though and can be difficult to find parking. We shared the banh beo which was great and I loved it! I got the banh canh ga dac biet (combination chicken with Vietnamese udon noodle) and it was pretty good....until I found not 1, but 2 pieces of thick curly black hair in my broth (see pic). I was able to look past the first piece of hair but after the second piece, I lost my appetite and wasn't able to finish the bowl. The cherry on top is that my friend's bowl had a piece of hair in her broth too, but it was different color and texture. Luckily, they didn't charge us for the meal and were nice about it. Unfortunately I don't think I'll be returning due to this experience. read more

I'm sorry but the Bun Bo Hue here is awful. It costs $19.75 for a large bowl, but it isn't worth it. The broth was salty and lacked of flavor. The beef was cut too thick, chewy, and didn't taste fresh. Anyways, I shouldn't have tried the BBH here, red flag . read more

I heard from a local food influencer that Pho Ga An Nam had the best Bun bo Hue, and it was delicious. The Bun bo Hue had a rich lemongrass flavored beef broth, with bouncy rice noodles, thin slices of fatty pork, blood cubes, Vietnamese pork sausage, pork knuckle, and beef shank. I ordered a small, and it was a huge portion. The meats were really flavorful and fresh, but the beef shank was a little on the tough side. Next time I'll probably ask to get it a little spicier. We also ordered fish sauce chicken wings and Banh Beo. The chicken wings were deep fried with a nice crust and had a buffalo esque sweet fish sauce flavor. The Banh Beo rice cake was soft and well seasoned. read more

I came here later in the night with my family and the service here was great! Our server was kind and patient with the different orders that we had in our party. I got the pho tai - it was flavorful and great to have since it was a cold evening. My husband got their bun bo hue. He thought it could have more flavor, but we both agreed that the meat in both our dishes were a little dry. The portions aren't the biggest here, which is fine since we were full once we finished eating. Overall, it's a decent spot for yummy Vietnamese noodle soups! Also, if you're a huge labubu fan, that's their main decor! They have tons of labubus around the restaurant. read more

Pho Ga An Nam is hands down one of my favorite places to get com ga. I have been coming to this restaurant for years and it always hits the spot for me. My favorite dish to order is Com Ga Dac Biet Siu Siu An Nam. A complete meal! The soup is rich yet super clean. The rice, kimchi, chicken, and sauce are all super flavorful and pair well together. Great portions of chicken. I also think that I am addicted to their kimchi -- it's perfectly balanced! What's new and very unique about this place is their collection of labubus and other trinkets they have in front. I believe they are for sale? Service is always friendly and nice. Parking can be a bit difficult during busier hours. read more

Been going here for years: Bun bo hue, broken rice, and pho are all great dishes! Service is extremely fast but not the most attentive/considerate (see tip below). Plenty of seating. Ambiance is trendy as the decor is alway changing. Tip: Ive ordered here to go a few times. They tend to leave the to go food on the counter without ever notifying you, which is unfortunate because Id be at a table or on the side waiting for 20+ extra minutes with the food sitting there. Id recommend waiting nearby the counter to ensure you grab food whenever its ready. Dont rely on the staff to tell you. read more

Their bun bo hue was so close to being excellent. The broth was savory and had some decent lemongrass flavor. The bowl was deep with noodles, I could barely finish it. I really liked the peppery cha lua they used. The disappointing part was the beef. The slices of shank meat were chewy and a bit of a challenge to eat. Ignoring that, I liked the food quite a bit. read more

I came here one afternoon for lunch. Got the bun bo hue and the banh beo. The banh beo is a steamed rice cake topped with dried shrimp, green onion sauce and a fried pork skin. Then side of a sauce. The bun bo hue has a variety of meats in it such as the Vietnamese ham (Chả lụa), pork blood, beef tendon, noodles and herbs. There was also a side of herbs such as mint, banana flower, bean sprouts. The broth itself had a strong lemongrass flavor, overtime tasted a lot of mint flavor since there was mint already added to the soup when I got it. Next time, I will probably ask them to not put the mint inside the soup beforehand, I will add it myself. The large is a big portion and filling. Overall, pretty good. Parking here can be difficult even on a weekday but this is just the parking lot here. Also, noticed they have a lot of labubu things that they seem to be selling. read more

I ordered Bún Măng Gỏi Gà. This is one of those dishes you absolutely love or don't care much for. The plate of cabbage salad topped with chicken, and the bowl of vermicelli with bamboo shoots and chicken gizzards were generous.

I'm confused why they don't have more stars. I will definitely return. read more

Contrary to its name, my family comes to Pho Ga An Nam exclusively for its Hainanese chicken rice when we don't feel up to making it at home. They've got an adorable and very sizable outdoor patio that is perfect for meals during the warmer months and service has never been less than peppy. Parking can be a headache because the plaza is home to so many other popular businesses, and the wait can get long during rushes, but if you're willing to navigate through both the food is definitely worth it. Cuisine here is more homestyle than anything. The chicken in their Ga An Nam dish is consistently moist and well-proportioned (even the white meat), and combined with their tangy ginger-garlic chili sauce deliver a pop of flavor with every bite. Make sure to try it with their Vietnamese coriander (rau ram) for some added freshness. Their chicken rice is honestly on the sweeter side, which isn't something I'm a fan of, and their kimchi leaves more to be desired. But wash it all down with their warm oniony broth and you've got a meal you'll definitely want to come back for. Make sure to stop by. read more

* Visited Sunday 12/29/2024 at 6pm with a group of 7 :-) I used to come to this restaurant pretty often when I was younger, and I believe there has been a change in owner since I last came here (probably 10 years ago?). I came with my family after a long roadtrip and we were seated immediately. Our waiter was very kind and joked with us- making the experience pretty fun & light hearted. The restaurant has definitely been renovated and seems more colorful and brighter, and more welcoming. OKAY THE FOOD: * Com Ga Roti - this is one of my personal favorite dishes, and though it's not the same from when I was a kid, it's still pretty good and incredibly filling. read more

Found this place on Yelp and wanted to check it out for lunch since my friend and I were in the area. We wanted to find a nice pho spot. There wasn't a wait on Thursday for a late lunch. Nem Nuong Cuon (3/5): Presentation was nice. Flavor was good but the portion of the pork compared to everything else wasn't that great. The texture of the pork was a little too soft as well. Pho Ga (3/5): This was pretty average. It was a little too oily for my liking. The flavor was okay though. The chicken was a bit boney as well. The portion was good but it was pricey. Overall it was an okay try. I don't think I will be back. read more

I've doordashed the com ga ro ti an nam and I really liked it. The chicken was flavorful and succulent. The rice was also nicely seasoned and the fried egg was a nice finishing touch. I also like how they provided a small sauce container of vinegar to pickle the onion slices and have it to accompany the dish. I would definitely re-order the dish from here again. read more

I've grown up eating here, but it sadly doesn't hit the same anymore. The only thing that's still good is the rice and mam gung (fish sauce w/ ginger).

I came across a video on IG where someone claimed that Pho Ga An Am had better BBH than BBH An Am next door. Curiosity got the best of me, so I finally decided to give it a try. We ordered the nem nuong and a bowl of BBH. The nem nuong was pretty good, but unfortunately, the BBH didn't live up to BBH An Am for me. If you prefer a sweeter broth, you might enjoy it more, but that's not my preference. I'm still on the hunt for a BBH that tops BBH An Am. On the bright side, service was very quick, and the ambiance was nice. read more

Pho Ga An Nam - Vietnamese Near Me - San Jose, California

Let's preface this review by saying I was intending to go to the place next door (BBH An Nam) but came here instead for whatever reason. That reason does not matter, however (maybe I was annoyed with the parking situation and did not read the signage correctly, since both restaurants have An Nam in their name). I originally came to compare the BBH with Hue Restaurant on Silver Creek. Regardless, this place stands alone as a top-notch place for BBH. I did not even realize I went to the wrong place in the first place as I was hit with the strong aroma of BBH broth as soon as I stepped inside. It was extremely packed, and almost everyone dining was Vietnamese (I was in little Saigon after all). I got lucky though with my timing and managed to grab a table pretty quickly, and a corner one at that. It was pretty loud inside with lots of conversation, but there was music playing, and I didn't care about the various sounds, as I was there for the food. Apparently this establishment is known for their chicken dishes, but quite frankly, many people were ordering BBH, as did I. I chose the large as I was very hungry and I was craaaaving BBH. It did not take long for my steaming bowl to arrive to my table. I immediately asked for a side of chili oil and shrimp paste, which I always love to add to my BBH. I first tried the broth and it was so good and had great depth of flavor. I can only imagine how the place next door tastes (will for sure go to the right place next time, haha). I added the shrimp paste and chili oil to dress it up even more. I was exceptionally pleased to find the banana blossoms as part of the veggies, since most restaurants do not offer them. The various meats were tender and I loved the large pieces of cha lua. I did not get any pork knuckle in my bowl but the amount of other meats and the delicious broth made up for it. In the middle of my meal, I asked for extra lemons, which were quickly brought to my table. I love adding extra lemon juice to my broth to cut the funkiness of the broth. The noodles were perfectly cooked as well and 10/10 slurpable. Personally, the large size was just fine for me, but if I weren't as hungry, I would have gone for the small. However, the difference in cost for the sizes is only $1, so why get the small if you can get the large anyway. I could see me sharing this bowl with my husband as well if we wanted to have other dishes on the side. I did see other people sharing lots of food, so I'm sure it's possible. Is this the best BBH I've had? Besides this one place in south Sacramento that serves BBH in a stone pot, I'd say so. I now cannot wait to try BBH An Nam next door, as I've seen reviews about it being even better than this place. However, I'll be the judge the next time I go. I'd love to bring my husband here to experience the BBH! read more

Came here on a Saturday because pho ga nha was packed and we forgot the next plaza had a similar restaurant too. It was pretty packed in here too when we came. We got seated fairly quickly and our orders were taken promptly after. We ordered the chao ga that came with shredded chicken on top of salad and com ga roti. My friend enjoyed the chao ga but it's a dish you can't mess up on. The com ga roti was crispy, but it tasted like crispy rotisserie chicken in my opinion. The sauce it came with did add flavor so it helped the dish. It also came with a small bowl of soup for you to enjoy if the chicken and rice is too dry. Next time I come back, I would probably try one of the chicken noodle soups. Service is nice and fast when it comes to ordering, food coming out and checking out. read more

Pho Ga An Nam - Chicken thigh - Vietnamese Near Me - San Jose, California

After finding that my new favorite restaurants was closed we opted for Pho Gha An Nam. Beautiful patio and nicely decorated. Our Egg Rolls were the smallest ever and they were just okay! The Chicken Wings were good but dry and came with no dipping sauce sadly. The Pork Rolls on the other hand were very tasty and fresh. The dipping sauce it came with tasted unique and had a nice kick to it. I definitely would recommend this place to anyone especially for the nice patio seating and décor. 4 star for reasonably priced food and friendly service. read more

Bustling on a random Sunday morning, and for good reason. Pho ga an nam is a classic SJ spot for Pho Ga. You can't really go wrong with anything on the menu, but special shoutouts to the pho ga dac biet. Nothing to perk up your spirits during a cold spell (either externally or internally) like a piping hot bowl of pho ga. Pho ga an nam has a wonderful interior. Aquarium enthusiasts will note the balling saltwater tank that serves as a natural border for the lobby. There's a 'decadent chic' (I made that up) decorative theme with a bit of a draft coming from the outside patio if you're seated by the cashier's counter on a cold day. Lastly - the service here is actually well above the standard for an SJ classic spot, especially from the host stand. The owner is extremely personable and hardworking. He's a pleasure to interact with while waiting in line to get seated. It's a shame that this place literally blew up in flames! read more

Wow - just wow. I can't believe I have never been to this spot given it's as popular as it is. They're known for all things chicken and let me tell y'all -- this place is legit. I order the Pho Ga Dac Biet and my lunch date ordered one of their rice plates. The broth to my pho was close to perfection with the right hints of aromatics without any excess sodium or MSG. I thoroughly enjoyed the steamed chicken and the dipping sauce the arrived with it. Pro tip: ask for a side of habanero peppers to spice up the sauce. So addicting for my spicy food lovers. The inside is charming but big enough to entertain an array of group sizes. Menu is extensive and so I can't wait to return to try other specialty dishes. If you're craving for some hearty Vietnamese food -- this is a joint you won't want to pass up. read more
