Amy is one of the best waitress. She recommend good food to the customers . I had Phở and my son had Cơm bò lúc lắc and they both delicous. I need more lemon, jalapanor, hoisin souce... And Amy was going back to serve us with a speed of light and a smile on her face. I would like to rate food @ Phở Hà Nội 5 stars and Amy 10 plus for her services. read more

Amy provided such enthusiastic service. This was my second time seeing her. I traveled all the way from Seattle to San Jose just to have the phở here. I even brought two friends along to try it. It was absolutely amazing! read more

Pho Ha Noi San Jose - Pho combo and hainan chicken - Vietnamese Near Me - San Jose, California

This restaurant is very popular and crowded, so we were lucky to wait 10 minutes for Sunday lunch. There are many families and friends dining. It was moderately noisy. I ordered the Pho Dac Biet / Special with thick noodles. They were very tasty and the broth had an authentic Vietnamese taste. Our meals came to our table very quickly. However, I felt that the Pho was pricey since it is around $20 for a bowl. I've eaten high-quality Pho that is cheaper. Overall, if you're looking for Pho in Vietnam Town then you should try this restaurant. read more

Whenever I'm in San Jose, I always make a stop at Pho Ha Noi! I wasn't super hungry this time, so I ordered the kids' pho. The portion was actually perfect, but one thing to note is that it doesn't come with the usual plate of herbs and veggies. It was still good, but I'd probably stick with the regular pho next time. My partner ordered the beef noodle bowl, and wow... it was so flavorful. We also ordered coffee, which was delicious, and the service was incredibly fast. Definitely one of my go-to spots whenever I'm in SJ! read more

Pho Ha Noi is the only place that I will ever eat pho at, if I am eating out! I am so used to my mom's pho, that whenever I try pho at other restaurants, it just doesn't hit the same. However, this is the only restaurant in the Bay Area that I will go to if I am craving pho. Their broth is very well seasoned and I honestly don't even need to add any sauce to it (hoisin, sriracha, etc). They also give a generous amount of meat and it's very tender and just melts in your mouth! My go-to is the pho tai thit suon bo; flap meat and boneless shortrib. They are known for pho, so definitely get that when you're here! I've had their rice dishes before, but it's not that good, in my opinion. read more

This is a solid spot. When ordering pho, I feel like you get more meat here than other restaurants. The broth is flavorful and overall just a good place for comfort food. I'm interested in trying the pho ga, che, and smoothies next time! read more

Service is always fast, food comes out quick. This time we got pork vermicelli- crispy grilled pork on the outside, juicy succulent inside. Well seasoned, not dry or rubbery at all just perfect. Pour over that fish sauce over the noodles, vegetables and peanuts and enjoy refreshing bowl. 2nd dish complimented the first one- Bo ne- breakfast of the champions! Steak was juicy, medium, the grilled onion, oyster sauce was umami and thick. Went well with hot baguette. Only critic- the baguette is not as well done as some of the other nearby places. It's dense, not light, flaky, crispy crunchy like traditional baguettes are. We had a vegetarian with us this time!!!- and only option for vegetarians is tomato rice, egg and veggie spring rolls- I had a small bite and they were not seasoned, tasteless, lackluster. I encourage the business to add couple of vegetarian friendly dishes. read more

Pho Ha Noi is always a good spot for pho. Their pho with flap meat with fresh noodles is a must. We also got the popular dishes spring roll platter and crispy chicken with sticky rice.

I've been coming to Pho Ha Noi all the way back when they had their first location at Silver Creek (IYKYK). I've had dozens of pho places in my life and I've gotta say.... Pho Ha Noi is the best! Love Pho Ha Noi's broth. Since it's Northern style pho it's richer, stronger, and I personally love how they break down the rare meat with a tenderizer, I don't think I've seen other pho places do it like that. PRO TIP - get the fresh/wide noodle to enhance your pho enjoyment :) read more

My family came here for lunch on Father's Day weekend. We checked in on Yelp ahead of time, so the wait wasn't too bad. Unfortunately, our experience went downhill as soon as we got to the front. The hostess was incredibly rude. When she called my name, I walked up to the podium and she immediately started questioning where the rest of my party was. I told her they were literally right behind me, but she kept insisting she couldn't see them and continued speaking to me in a very harsh, demanding tone. It was completely unnecessary and left a bad first impression. After we were seated in the back of the restaurant, it took a very long time before anyone came to take our order. Once the food arrived, things didn't improve. While we were eating, the same hostess came over to grab a high chair and actually bumped into my baby's stroller--with my baby inside--without apologizing or even acknowledging what happened. I was shocked by the lack of courtesy. When we finished eating, it took about 10 minutes just to get our check. To make matters worse, our bill was incorrect. We ordered three plates of pickled onions but only received one. The staff initially insisted they had brought all three, but I pointed out that there was clearly only one plate on the table. Thankfully, they corrected the bill. Overall, the food was just okay, but the service was disappointing from beginning to end. Between the rude hostess, slow service, nearly being overcharged, and the lack of care around my baby, this wasn't a pleasant dining experience. Next time, I'll probably make the drive to Fremont for Pho Ha Noi instead. read more

Pho Ha Noi San Jose - Pho Dac Biet - Vietnamese Near Me - San Jose, California

It's probably the best spot in the Bay Area for northern-style phở, still--it's not quite the traditional Hà Nội broth I was hoping for. The broth has the foundation of northern-style phở, but it's richer and darker than what you'd find in Hanoi. A true northern broth is typically crystal clear, lighter, and cleaner tasting. Here, it feels like a bit of southern influence sneaks in with a heavier roasted spice and beef bone flavor. That said, it's still the closest I've found to authentic northern-style phở in the Bay Area. The biggest disappointment was the Bún Chả Hà Nội. It completely missed the mark. The pork didn't have that unmistakable smoky charcoal-grilled flavor that defines the dish. Instead, it tasted like it came from an air fryer or gas grill. The "chả" was oddly sweet with a strange texture and flavor that just didn't resemble the version you'd get in Hanoi. Ironically, a southern Vietnamese restaurant in San Jose makes a much better Bún Chả than a restaurant named Phở Hà Nội. On the positive side, the restaurant itself is beautiful--high ceilings, spacious dining room, bright, clean, and comfortable. The atmosphere is excellent. I just wish the kitchen would revisit the Bún Chả recipe because the dining experience deserves food that's on the same level. Overall: Phở: 8.8/10 (best northern-style option I've found in the Bay Area) Bún Chả Hà Nội: 4/10 Atmosphere: 9.5/10 If you're craving northern-style phở, this is still the place I'd recommend. Just skip the Bún Chả. read more

Shocked I haven't reviewed this place yet...it might be my most frequented pho place ever so how have I not yet??? The fam and I LOVE the pho here and is our top spot for beef pho. The broth has great flavor and they don't skimp you on meat; there is meat down to every last bite of noodles. What makes Hanoi extra amazing is they make other items just as well. Our other must-get is the roasted chicken with crispy sticky rice - so so SO good (apparently, it's so good my family won't even pause to let me take a photo!). And if one of us isn't feeling like having either of these, they even make a good bowl of Bún bò huế. There are very few places (to my knowledge) where they rock at every dish. But Ha Noi has managed to cater to several of our favorite cravings. read more

I've been here for many years as it's always been my go to spot for pho and the day after a late night out. I've seen many changes to the recipes and to the menus. Special pho (5/5): I always thought they'd skimp on the meat here compared to other pho places, but this time they did not skimp. Still one of my favorite pho place in SH read more

I wanted to like this place because my previous experience with their pho was positive. The pho is good--maybe not the best I've had, but definitely solid. The restaurant has a nice ambiance and is usually packed, which is why I decided to bring my brother with me. Unfortunately, this visit was disappointing. My brother wasn't impressed with the pho, and I decided to try the bun bo hue. The broth lacked the rich, flavorful depth I expect from a good bun bo hue. Instead, it tasted mostly like watered-down fish sauce. To make matters worse, the soup was only lukewarm when it arrived, which is unacceptable for a hot noodle soup. What stood out even more was the lack of attention to detail. I asked our server twice for water for my brother and me. Both times they acknowledged the request, but the water never came. It wasn't a busy-moment oversight either--we waited throughout the meal and were simply forgotten. Another issue was the portion balance. There were far too many noodles and not enough broth, leaving the bowl feeling dry and unbalanced. Based on this visit, it feels like the quality of the soups and the overall service have slipped since my last experience. I brought my brother here hoping he'd enjoy it as much as I did before, but instead we both left disappointed. read more

This place deserves a higher rating imo. To satiate my pho craving, we ended up in little saigon and decided on this place after seeing how busy it was inside. And for good reason--all the flavors and textures were on point! We ordered the fresh roll combo with three types: shrimp, grilled pork, and viet sausage. I absolutely loved the array of dipping sauces that came with them...I believe there is a classic peanut sauce, fish sauce, and some kind of pumpkin sauce? The rolls themselves were stuffed to the brim and some of the best I've had. We also ordered one bowl of combination pho, which was huge btw. I tried out the beef curry on a whim and it was absolutely delicious with rice! just wish they added in some more veggies instead of just onions and carrots, and while I appreciated the big chunks of short rib, they were not the easiest to eat. They were also giving out complimentary pandan waffles to every table, and omg these were so fluffy and chewy and coconut-y...such a comfort meal and my stomach was definitely happy after. read more

Tried Pho Ha Noi for the first time, and it did not disappoint! I usually order phở bò đặc biệt, but I was excited to see phở gà đặc biệt on the menu and decided to give it a try. The broth was light, fragrant, and still full of flavor--the kind of comforting bowl that would be especially perfect after a long night. The poached chicken thigh was tender and cooked beautifully. I also appreciated that the bowl included more traditional toppings like heart and liver, which you do not always find at more Westernized pho restaurants. My husband ordered the bò né, which came with sliced beef rather than cubes, but it was still delicious. The sauce was deep and rich, and it paired especially well with the egg, pâté, and warm baguette. The bread had a light, airy interior with a thin, crisp crust. The dish comes with one baguette and fries, but I would recommend ordering a second baguette for a better meat-to-bread ratio. I'm excited to come back and try more of their menu! read more

First time in the area and Pho Ha Noi was worth it. It was a little tricky to find at first, but it's located on the far end of the roundabout, once you know where to look. We ordered the short rib pho (only available on weekdays) and it was delicious --tender meat that falls off the bone with a savory broth. The grilled pork vermicelli bowl with egg roll was also solid, with smoky, juicy pork and a crispy egg roll that tied everything together. Fast service, generous portions, and fair prices. Once you find the place, you'll probably come back. read more

I met some friends for dinner at Pho Ha Noi. This is a large sized restaurant with plenty of outdoor tables. No wait on a Tuesday night for a table. This is a great place for groups who want to dig into some tasty pho. The pho was very good. I like how they give you a good ratio of hoisin and sriracha in a little bowl, though this might not be ideal if you don't want yours spicy. They give you a good amount of lemon and sprouts, as well. Service was fast and efficient, and they kept coming around to check on us, fill our water, etc. They also gave us a free pandan waffle. read more

This pho is so good! It is considered northern style pho, which means the broth is lighter and more delicate. I also really love the fresh, wider noodles they use. As someone who recently visited Ha Noi, Vietnam, I would say this pho is just as good (if not better haha). There's usually a wait, but the restaurant is quite large and the line moves quickly. I typically wait about 15-20 minutes. You can also join the Yelp waitlist which is easy and convenient. I have seen very large groups dine here, so they can accommodate bigger parties as well. My go to order is the #10 special combination beef pho, which includes a little bit of everything. We have also tried the beef short rib pho and the oxtail pho, both of which are great if you prefer those cuts of meat. The restaurant is located in a large parking lot. Parking can be a bit challenging at times, but you can usually find a spot with some patience. read more

This has been my go-to pho spot for years due to the quality of the pho broth, meat, and veggies.

It's located in Vietnam Town which is a busy plaza but there's lots of parking (but you do have to hunt for it sometimes). I want to give a special shout out to our server, Amy, who made the experience even better. She was super welcoming, constantly checked on us, quickly got us what we needed despite how busy it was. We asked for a few adjustments to the usual dishes and she was able to accommodate for us. I'll definitely be back! read more

Highly recommended by a friend from the San Jose area. We came here on a weekend for lunch. It was very busy with about 5 parties ahead of us, but we were able to be seated in about 10-15min. I ordered the P1 combination beef pho. Broth flavor wise, you can tell it was slowly simmered for many hours, and there were plenty of proteins (beef slices, beef ball, tendon, etc) in the soup. Definitely pairs well on a cold rainy San Jose weekend. Overall, good value and good service. Our server Amy was very friendly and attentive. Parking wise, the restaurant is located in a busy plaza. So instead of parking outside, there is a parking garage next to the restaurant that has plenty of spaces (and it's covered). Worth checking it out when in the area. read more

The Hanoi special rolls came with two fresh spring rolls, two chargrilled pork rolls, and two grilled pork sausage rolls. All three varieties tasted fresh. The assortment made it a great appetizer to share. The spicy Hue noodle soup came with one pound of short rib and Vietnamese pork ham. While the short rib was generous, the broth was bland and only had a slight hint of bun bo hue flavor. It lacked the savory and spice I was expecting. The side garnishes were also missing banana blossoms and mint, which are typically part of the traditional presentation and taste. The roasted Kui Fei chicken with crispy sticky rice was average. The fried chicken wasn't freshly fried, and the crispy sticky rice was decent. read more

Doing a food tour, this was stop #2. After having some amazing banh mi and accidentally eating too much earlier. We ordered the egg coffee, dac biet, and the crispy rice and roasted chicken. egg coffee was rich, decadent, and strong!! Very similar to what i had in hanoi! I was happy to see this on the menu and even happier after tasting it. dac biet pho - the broth was well refined, no scum at all in a beef pho. It was not heavy and all the meats were very well prepared. You can tell care went into the prep work of each ingregidient. crispy rice and roasted chicken. its rare to see crispy rice on the menu and the textural and slight roasted rice elevates this humble dish.

If you're looking for a comforting, hearty bowl of classic pho, this is the place to visit. I stopped by on a Monday afternoon, and there were more tables than I expected that were occupied. It cleared out shortly afterward, so there was a quiet, calm atmosphere. The service was really efficient. The interior was minimally decorated. I was super impressed with the dishes we ordered. The spring rolls were fresh, with plenty of vegetables and noodles. Its accompanying rich peanut sauce paired nicely with the refreshing rolls. I also tried the combination pho, which was a perfect bowl of pho. I was amazed with the portion size - for the price, they gave a generous heaping of food. I ended up having a ton of leftovers. The broth was piping hot, clear, and full of flavor. The thin noodles paired super well with the richness of all the meats. The range of meats included in the pho was incredible, and every cut was full of flavor. There were plenty of toppings, including bean sprouts, sauces, lime wedges, and basil. This bowl of pho was tasty and classic. They had some more unique options as well, like a pho with a whole beef rib served on the bone. I can't wait to visit again! read more

I got the boneless short rib and side flank pho which was great. Meat was tender and flavorful, and the soup flavor was strong without being too salty. I liked the chewiness of the noodles as well. We also got the crab & pork imperial rolls which were tasty. The crab flavor wasn't super strong. I thought the wrapper was a little too thick as well but it was fun to try since I've never seen crab imperial rolls on the menu before.
