    Fried egg rolls
    Cynthia Y. L.

    *LOCATION* This hole-in-the wall restaurant is located in a small run-down-looking plaza with a small parking lot. We randomly found it on google and decided to check it out because it was close by. *WAIT TIME* We had a late lunch on a Saturday ~1:30pm. The restaurant is very spacious inside and there were only a few tables occupied so we got seated right away. *FOOD* Fried egg rolls: piping hot and fresh, very crispy and yum~ Pho w/ steak and fatty brisket: this was my first time being able to specifically order fatty brisket, it was sooooo good!! *SERVICE* Our waiters were friendly and took our order quickly. They came to check on us during the meal and offer us more water. No complaints here :) *AMBIENCE* This restaurant is the typical Vietnamese place you think of. There's nothing particularly special about the interior but the food was good and decently priced. We'll definitely keep this place in mind next time we're in the area!

    Good food, nice price. What's more are you asking for? I keep coming back. No brainer for dinner for a work day.

    Divey lil' mom n pop type pho noodle house. Very convenient for weekday lunches though. Enough parking if you get there not at high lunch time. Basic pho.

    My favorite pho spot around here portion sizes are nice and the vibe of the spot is very relaxing. Service is super quick, the team is on top of it! Thank you pho nam!

    I've tried countless pho spots across the Bay Area, but I always found myself going back to my all-time favorite--Pho Kim Long. Even after checking out numerous places recommended by my Vietnamese friends, none of them quite hit the mark when it came to satisfying my pho cravings--until now. Since moving to Sunnyvale, I decided to explore local options and stumbled upon this unassuming pho restaurant near my home. The exterior isn't flashy, but it gave off a very authentic, Vietnam-street-vendor vibe that immediately caught my attention. To my surprise, this was the only pho place I've come across in over 30 years in the Bay Area that also includes Korean language on the menu--a rare and interesting find. Even more surprising? The pho here was not only delicious but also more affordable than Pho Kim Long and most others in the area. The quality held up just as well, if not better. Honestly, it was very good. So good that I no longer feel the need to drive all the way to my usual spot. Why pay more when you can get the same (or better) flavor closer to home? I'm beyond happy to have found this hidden gem. Highly recommend it to anyone in the area looking for top-notch pho at a great price. Service was good and quick as expected.

    Best pho place in north Sunnyvale! Family owned, quick service and friendly staff. Prices are reasonable, lunch specials. I usually get their pho tai chin nam, the broth is good and portion size is appropriate. Other favorite dishes are bun thit Nuong (grilled pork and cold noodles) and the Bo kho (beef stew). Their rice plates are pretty good too. When my mom doesn't want to cook, we'll order from here. My parents are pretty picky with Vietnamese food, so you know it's authentic. Their decor may be a bit outdated, but the place is clean.

    Enjoyed my early weekday dinner at Pho Nam. The atmosphere was cozy and lowkey, and everyone else around us seemed to also be enjoying the food and atmosphere. They have a pretty extensive selection of items. I ordered the small #1 which was the perfect portion for me. Food came out super quick. The meat was thin and had good texture, and the broth was deep in flavor and savoriness. I like that they also do a drink + entree combo option, and might come back to try their drinks. We also ordered the eggrolls (2pcs) and I like that they use a slightly different wrap than traditional eggrolls. Seems they take cash for orders under $20 (as of this review). Service was quick and friendly. There were zero issues parking in the plaza lot. Honestly I've been looking for a good local pho spot and while there aren't as many options as the SJ VN town area, I'd say this is a pretty decent option in Sunnyvale. Glad I gave this place a try.

    This restaurant is in a tiny strip mall close to Mercado, between 7-11 & Bogarts Bar. So random! Driving past it on my way to Mercado, always wondered if it was any good. Well, it was! I am simple & just got Pho Tai. The broth was very flavorful and the steak was fresh. I got a small at $16 or so and it was the perfect amount. Also got spring rolls. They were ok. Definitely will be back when I feel like a bowl of Pho for lunch. Only down side is that the parking lot is small.

    Restaurant looks a little run down, a little hole in the wall. Service is incredibly slow and not too friendly. All forgivable qualities for me, but the food was not good! I ordered the banh mi. Bread was stale. The meat was not flavorful with a bad texture and the vegetables were limp. You can tell the sandwich is not fresh. Prices are low for the area but definitely not worth the price.

    Pho nam is a small hole in the wall right next to AMC Mercado. The cashier lets you pay separately for splitting up credit cards so its nice. The pho is pretty standard san jose Pho but the waiters are nicer and more accommodating. Parking is limited in front but if you park on the side theres plenty of parking. Would always recommend #1 large and their grilled pork vermicelli is pretty good too!

    It's been a while since we've come here for lunch. The place is still the same with old attentive service, delicious pho and great price. The pho broth is always flavorful and plentiful with meats and noodles. The prices have gone up but still less expensive than many restaurants around. For lunch with time is the essence, the food delivered quite quickly. I love this place and only come here if I need a hot bowl of pho. For 2 people is less than $30 including tax. Can't beat the price anywhere. It may not be as fancy and romantic for dates, but the food will make your date happy LOL.

    This is the best Vietnam noodles, the meat is nice and soup is not to oily as others. And the parking lot is big enough for everyone.

    I have to come back here another time! I'm told that this restaurant used to be smaller and that…read morethey've expanded. The bahn cuon here is really good -- the rice noodle is so fresh and soft and chewy. This was my favorite and the variety was so appreciated as well! It's also surprisingly filling and I would definitely get this next time I'm here. The fish sauce was also delicious as well. (this is in reference to the dish Banh Cuon Tay Ho Dac Biet) Bahn Beo were good sizes and nicely steamed. I wish there was a bit more sauce because I was running out at the end. Toppings are appropriately sized as well Personal take, I didn't really enjoy the fried pork rind topping as much and would have liked more shrimp, but once again, personal preference. I didn't quite enjoy the Hu Tieu, but my friend liked the soup! It's a little too plain for me. I do love the feeling and texture of eating thick, round rice noodles. The banh xeo that came on the side was hard to crunch through, I felt like it was probably sitting on the side for a while. Vibes were nice -- there's a call button to ask for service. Menu has a lot of items as well (e.g. pho, rice plates, etc), so there's something for everyone if you come with a big group! Our server was also really attentive and sweet -- he came by and asked if we wanted additional dishes/bowls since we were sharing food!

    I promise... I'm not a hater. I'm really just telling it how it is. The quality has gone down over…read morethe years, while the prices keep going up. But I'll let y'all be the judge. Let's get into it. B1. Bánh Cuốn Tây Hô Đặc Biệt The only solid item on this combination plate was the ground pork floursheet. Soft texture, flavorful pork, and a good balance with the black fungus. The yam tempura and mung bean tempura, however, were pretty below average. No crunch, little to no flavor, and they tasted like they had been sitting out for a while. The ground shrimp floursheet was disappointing. There was barely any shrimp and mostly just flour sheet. I was sitting there wondering, "Where's the shrimp?!" The fermented pork roll was cool. It was definitely fermented because it had a strong, sour pork aftertaste. Not bad, though. T2. Cha Giờ Thịt Nướng This vermicelli bowl was not it. The pork had the classic lemongrass aftertaste, but it was very light. The texture was also dry, and the portion was pretty sad. It was essentially a salad with noodles, five pieces of pork, and 2 small egg rolls. Egg rolls were skip-worthy.. they barely had any filling. And don't even dare try their pho here either. Sources: Trust me. Yelpers, where are all the great Vietnamese restaurants at in SJ?!

    This place really surprised me with how delicious it was! I was skeptical when my friend chose a…read morevegetarian place for her birthday dinner, but she said she had been before and the food is really good. I am one of those people who thinks that just about every meal needs animal protein or it won't be satisfying. Well, Happy Flower proved me wrong because I came away with a very happy and full stomach and I did not even miss the meat! We ordered 8 different dishes to share family style, and I was especially pleased with the all seasons sampler and vegan fried rolls appetizers, as well as the pad Thai, salted fish fried rice, hainan chicken rice, tomato fish, and happy clay pot entrees. Each dish was quite large such that all 9 of us were able to try generous portions of each dish. And then we got two servings of the mango sticky rice to share and the mango was amazingly sweet! I did not try their boba drinks, but a few of my friends ordered drinks and enjoyed them. Their boba drinks are sized quite large as well. I will say, the meat doesn't necessarily taste like the meat it purports to imitate, but the textures for the fake chicken and fish are pretty spot on! Service was friendly and helpful and they delivered the dishes at a good pace. The inside isn't fancy, but it's clean and well lit and spacious. I wish I had known about this hidden gem sooner, but they had a good clip of takeout orders and families coming in for dinner. Parking is also plentiful and easy in their large attached lot. I will be back!

    I wanted to order before they go on break. I placed a pickup order for Pad Thai, Fried Rolls,…read morePapaya Salad, and Lemongrass Beef. The Lemongrass Beef was my favorite dish! It was super flavorful, perfectly spiced, and the "beef" texture was on point. I always order the Papaya Salad and typically love it, but today's sauce was a bit sweeter than usual. I still enjoyed the crispy green papaya and fresh basil, I just wish the sauce was the same as before. The Pad Thai was not for me. While the portion was huge, it didn't have the flavor and authenticity I was expecting. I wouldn't order it again and gave it away since I didn't plan on eating more. The vegan fried rolls were good and they arrived crispy, but I wouldn't get them again because the inside had something sweet, and I didn't like the sauce. I'll still order from here because I like most dishes I've tried, but there are definitely some items I ordered today that I won't be getting again.
