    We frequent this place and realize that they are consistent. Any dish you order, it will be good. Pork chop with egg roll and rice is yummy. The pho is clean tasting and hits that comfort spot in your tummy.

    Always happy to eat pho here. It's fast, easy to find a table and tasty. Plenty of space and good service. I've been here almost 10 times.

    I love banh mi sandwiches a lot and found this place nearby and it seemed to have good options . So I called them up for take out order for pulled pork banh mi and they said it will be ready in 15 mins . I reached before 15 minutes were over and they had the order ready already ,which was impressive . The complex had ample parking . The prices are reasonable. The lady on the front counter was friendly. However my biggest issue was I felt there was very very less amount of actual pork in the banh mi. I have had banh mis from many places before and I have never seen so less meat inside . It felt like having a veg banh mi almost . Also it had a weird non pleasant subtle smell when the wrapper was on it . I am not sure what was it . I ate some of it but couldn't finish it all . This was the first time I so hated a banh mi . I will not buy banh mi sandwiches from here again . 2 stars for the friendly staff and for how quickly they served the order .

    I came here on a late night after a long day of work and studying, and while all pho restaurants in the immediate area were closed, this one was open a little later. The staff was awesome and they didn't mind how late I came (30 min before closing). There was someone that came at 9pm on the dot. They were super accommodating and attentive. The food was prepared very nicely. The place was large with seating for all types of parties. Now on for the food. I was craving a rice plate. I have yet to try the soups. The rice plate was delicious! I gotta say though, I was not a big fan of how they make their shrimp cake compared to other areas. I will definitely come back to try other food on the menu!

    The service here was really poor and the ambiance is nothing special. Nobody came to check in or refill my water while dining in. I waited at my table after I finished my pho and after waiting for a while I went up to the front to pay and they were confused on why I was there. I just told them I wanted to pay for my food since I didn't get the bill. The pho was okay, nothing special due to the meat feeling like an older low quality frozen cut steak. I wanted to give this place another shot, but they failed since the service was awful and the food was nothing special. I wouldn't recommend coming here after I've had a few poor experiences at this place.

    01-24-25 love the Pho here. Can't go wrong with the food. Service is good dining area always clean. Prices are fare. One of my go to places if I want some comfort food.

    Came here a few times and they're always good. The restaurant is clean and the service is good. I'm not in to Pho (yeah I know) so I get the rice plates and they are tasty. I got the lemon beef today and it was spicy and delicious. The spice was a 7 out of 10 which is my limit. My wife gets the Pho and she loves it. It's a solid place for Viet cuisine.

    All fat! Little to no meat!!!

    First time ordering out ordered the number 10 to go very flavorful. The only thing is all the meat was very fatty very little meat to eat lots and lots of noodles. Curious if it would be different service if dining in.?

    Party of six adults and two kids. I ordered a large rare steak pho which was good. Husband ordered the lemongrass rice plate which was tasty, but spicy. All in all, food was good and service was too.

    I live very close to Pho LA and it has been way too long since I have been back. I was craving a sandwich, so I was originally headed to Mr. Pickle which is in the same shopping center, but I saw Pho LA and I was hoping they sold Banh Mi's. Right as you walk up to the restaurant, they had a sandwich board in front with the list of their Banh mi options. I ordered the BBQ Pork Banh Mi. It was very good and I will be back sooner than later to try the options.

Both items were so generous and actually fairly large! It also came with a side of their orange sauce for the rolls and fish sauce, veggies/herbs, and chilies on the side for guests who love spicy. Definitely larger portions and super affordable. We picked up the items 30 mins before our party started, and they were still fresh and crispy throughout the whole night! I was expecting the banh khot to get soggy/be soggy but it held up very nicely. I love the way they packaged everything and would 100% recommend for those who need easy finger food for their parties. Also ordering from them was very easy. I did it online a week in advance and they texted me at exactly 530p to let me know it was ready for pickup.

We've probably eaten here 50+ times with family and friends, and one thing I can say is that they are 100% consistent. We've never had a bad meal here. There's a great variety of Vietnamese dishes, so everyone can usually find something they like. The chả cá (fish) is one of their popular dishes and a favorite. They also have good chicken phở, broken rice, vermicelli noodles, spring rolls, roll-your-own options, and plenty of soups beyond phở. You can order individual dishes or share family-style, which makes it especially easy when coming with a group. It's very casual, family-friendly, quick, and straightforward--nothing fancy and probably not where I'd choose for a date night. But for a dependable meal with family or friends, it's a great spot. Kids like it, parents like it, and my mom likes it--which says a lot coming from an older Vietnamese person who knows her Vietnamese food! The staff is always efficient and nice, and after all these years, the food remains consistently good. The biggest downside is parking. The entire shopping center has become so busy with restaurants that finding a spot can be overwhelming, especially during peak hours. Also, keep in mind they do not take credit cards. Bring cash, or you can pay electronically through options such as Zelle/Venmo. Overall, this is one of those longtime neighborhood restaurants we keep coming back to because we know exactly what we're going to get: good Vietnamese food, plenty of choices, friendly service, and consistency.

I appreciated the comfortable space, cleanliness, friendly staff, and variety on the menu. I'd be open to coming back and trying something different next time.

    This is a review specifically for their new banh mi…read more I've wanted to see what a banh mi from Tay Ho would be like ever since I saw them with a tray of them for a special event a couple of years ago. After an expansion of the restaurant they finally have banh mi on the menu and it was worth the wait. First, the foundation of a good Vietnamese sandwich is the bread, and it did not disappoint. The outside was crusty and flaky - definitely going to have crumbs everywhere when you eat this. The bread was warm and the inside was soft, but they also hollowed out the bread to make more room for fillings. I had the bbq pork which is my go to for their bun (vermicelli rice noodle) and it's just as great here. Grilled, a bit sweet, a bit savory, and a hint of smokiness makes it the perfect match to balance the freshly pickled vegetables and pairs well with the cilantro and jalapeño. They used a minimal but sufficient amount of mayo and I don't like pate so I asked for that to be skipped. Don't come after me

    Wow, Tay Ho really upgraded their space! They renovated and there's so much more room in the dining…read morearea now. They also expanded the menu and pretty much hit every Vietnamese staple you could think of. Tay Ho has always been known for their banh cuon, but the uncle told me they wanted to bring more Vietnamese options to the area for people who can't always make the drive down to SJ. I appreciate that as someone always wants Vietnamese food. The banh cuon hits as expected. We also tried the banh beo, and unfortunately that one was a miss for us. It looked promising, but the batter was a little too thick and the ratio of batter to toppings wasn't ideal. The table next to us got the banh xeo though, and that looked so gooddd. I'm getting that next time. Tay Ho, whether Santa Clara or SJ, is always in my rotation. Happy to see the Santa Clara location expanding and offering even more options!

The standout dish was the egg rolls. They arrived hot, golden brown, and perfectly crisp, with a satisfying crunch and a flavorful filling that made them the best part of the meal. The food, however, wasn't the reason for my rating. The restaurant's cleanliness left me concerned. I noticed cobwebs that appeared to have been hanging in place for a long time, along with dirt and grime collecting in corners throughout the dining room. Even the menus felt sticky, with a visible film of grease and small food particles still clinging to them. The faded print and worn condition made them look as though they hadn't been replaced in years. Those details created an impression of neglect that made it difficult to relax and enjoy the meal. With a thorough deep cleaning and some updated menus, this restaurant could create a much more welcoming dining experience. Until then, the cleanliness issues overshadow what was otherwise an average meal.
