    Combination fried rice , before they gave me the Chinese sausages.
    Syda C.

    This is a very cutesy Pho establishment. Very clean, service is great. We ordered the pan sear pho and my husband got a house special pho. Between the 2 I like the house special . We also got a combination fried rice . Everything came out nice and hot.

    I was first introduced to this place through a Yelp elite event. Loved their pho and broth - and the little robot servers - that we keep going back! They have good drinks, interesting stuff in the TVs, and soothing music. I particularly appreciate their plating as you can see here with the spring rolls.

    This restaurant is my boyfriend's absolute favorite! This was my first time coming with him. It is located in a plaza with lots of parking. Service was quick. We ordered the spring rolls and wok stir fry beef pho with fresh noodles. We also got a salted kumquat plum tea. Everything was delicious. I really enjoyed how fresh the spring rolls tasted and the dipping sauce was an incredibly great pairing. The pho was really flavorful. I understand why it is my boyfriend's go-to order now! The drink we ordered was also super refreshing and came with chia seeds. A bit on the sweeter side for me, but I still enjoyed it. I would definitely come back again!

    I visited Pho Now today, and it's clean and organized restaurant. The staff were friendly, and I ordered the #1 Special. The broth was flavorful, and the meats were nicely trimmed. They have a great variety of dishes to choose from! The only minor downside was that the serving of bean sprouts was a bit small amount. Overall, it's one of the better bowls of pho I've tried recently. I will definitely be back!

    The house special hits so good. There's a lot of volume in the Pho, which is not common with a lot of other restaurants so this just adds on. The service was super quick and very friendly. The ambiance of the place is soo random, but I'm into it. Just random figures and statues everywhere, but it made me want them for myself. They have videos playing of influencers who have eaten at this spot as well.

    Eggrolls

    We got here right when they opened and it filled up pretty quick. The service was so friendly and the waitresses were on top of it! The ambiance was really nice and clean with a lot of cool statues on the counter. The food was amazing. My son and I both got the custom pho w meat and a side of the beef ribs. Everything came out nice and steaming hot and the meats were really tender. We got the eggrolls appetizer and I like it because the use the springroll wrappers to fry instead of your typical eggroll wrappers. ALWAYS ask for chili oil because they keep it refrigerated behind the counter. The Coconut drink was refreshing and not overly sweet! Definitely a great first experience and I recommend this place 10/10!

    Service was amazing and efficient. I love that they are very quick as well. The broth was so delicious and the vibes were immaculate.

    Tried this place for the first time with my family and found it pretty average overall. Bún thịt tôm nướng: 3.5/5 - Decent but nothing special. Sizzling cơm tấm: Basic and disappointing since they used regular rice instead of broken rice. The hot plate also caused oil to splatter everywhere. I didn't really like having bell peppers on my com tam, it was an interesting take. Nem spring rolls: 3.5/5 - Good, but I've had better. Service was good, but I wasn't impressed enough to come back.

    We happen to be the area looking for a spot to eat at after doing errands. I have been wanting to try one of the newer Pho restaurants in South San Jose, Pho Now. We arrived on a late Saturday afternoon for lunch recently. Pho Now is located in a nice large plaza off Capitol Expressway. Lucky grocery store and the popular Cha Cha Sushi is located in the same shopping plaza as well. Parking is accessible in the large parking lot out front. The Vietnamese restaurant has nice modern cultural decor. Colorful fun Asian characters and some Japanese art are present in the front and counter area. It is spacious and clean with plenty of tables for dine in. We ordered 2 shrimp and pork vermicelli and 1 kids bowl with beef balls. Everyone enjoyed their delicious food. Our vermicelli bowls were huge and looked appetizing. The shrimp was juicy while the pork was unfortunately chewy. Noodles were tasty. My son said his kids bowl was yummy and the beef balls were scrumptious. Overall we enjoyed our experience at Pho Now. The staff were nice and accommodating. There was a robot server that brought over cups of water to us which I thought was a nice touch. The price point was in the higher side for Vietnamese food in the area but the dishes are large proportions. The vibe was family friendly and bustling. We hope to be back to try other dishes on the menu.

    Number 2: custom pho
    Tracy C.

    I was craving for Pho this morning so I went to the closest place to my house but it's closed on Mondays. So I looked up on Google for another one, Pho Now appeared on top of the page and it has quite a good rating so I decided to give it a try. Surprisingly, it was better than I thought. The soup is flavorful but not too powerful which I like. Definitely a place to try if you're looking for a good pho place in San Jose.

    Blanca G.

    I love coming to this place. This has become my family favorite location to come. The environment is very welcoming the owner she is Always very sweet and also the staff are nice. The food is delicious and always fresh .

    Solid pho spot in an unassuming strip mall. We were close by and craving some noodles so did a quick yelp review to see what was close by. We thought about going to the east side but we were feeling hungry and decided to give this spot a try. Service was prompt with a cute little robot whose only job was to bring drinks. The servers were great.. Food was super delicious If we are around the area, we'll be back

    Vermicelli Bowl (Combo)
    John L.

    Pho Now has been on my must try list for a while now. Since I had some pho the other day, I got a vermicelli bowl. I got the combo because I wanted to try the egg rolls. This was a good size portion and everything was fresh. The shrimp were huge! I enjoyed the fun vibe of this restaurant and I had great customer service. Looking forward to going back soon to order a bowl of pho.

    Mom approved of the food!

We both ordered Vietnamese coffee, which came in large plastic cups that you can do takeout. The price is reasonable and the restaurant was quite packed at 1:30 p.m. There are different types of noodles that you can order, and you can either have the noodles dry or with soup. It was a good choice to come here for lunch!

I'll definitely be back and look forward to continuing to support this wonderful local business.
