Pho Tay Do - Vietnamese Near Me - San Jose, California

Pho had perfect noodles and the broth was hearty in the best way. Meat was well portioned and I felt full Bun Bo Hue was not bad but they didn't do their broth or noodles as good as their pho. This is coming from someone who loves bun bo hue more than pho As good as their pho was, the wait time for our food was more than 25 minutes. We also encountered an issue where we were served 1 bowl of pho and ate some of it for 5 minutes. After the 10, I asked for an update on my other bowl. When the server came back to our time, they took the bowl and said it was not ours and was another customers. So they took it to the back and dumped it out. We proceeded to wait an extra few minutes before our real bowls came out. The whole experience was just annoying and the restaurant wasn't full when we first ordered so the wait must just be coming from understaffing which I understand. read more

Tried Pho Tay Do and overall it was decent, but nothing really stood out to me. The portions are definitely big, so you're getting solid value for the price. Everything came out hot and filling, and no complaints about the basics. But when it comes to the broth, which is really the most important part, it just felt kind of average. I can see why people like it, especially if you're looking for a big, satisfying bowl. But with so many strong pho spots around, this isn't one I'd go out of my way for. Worth trying if you're nearby, but I wouldn't consider it a standout. read more

I decided to try a place I've never been before to avoid a late night croud after a football game. I am glad I took the time to search up and discover Pho Tay Do! Everything was good!! (Apologies for the half eaten beef pho picture lol) Good quality and portion size. I ordered chicken wings on the side and they did not disappoint! Paired with sautéed onions and peppers /other veggies ! Staff was friendly and greeted me promptly with i walked in. I look forward to going back and trying another one of their dishes. read more

This Vietnamese restaurant is a family style restaurant. I come to have their beef pho or their rice plate. They serve the rice plate (grilled chicken, pork or shrimp) with a bowl of soup. They also have fresh made Vietnamese coffee, the real one, not the ones made with powder. I love their grilled pork, chicken and shrimp, full of flavor. They have spring rolls, too. The beef pho is delicious, very authentic and big portion, too. Parking is easy. I recommend it! read more

First time coming here! Service was quick. I ordered the Special Combo Pho. I thought the broth was delicious and the portion is very much worth the price that I paid ($17 before tips). It was a very LARGE portion. The meats were good, but I did think the rare meat was a bit gamey. I would prefer more veggies in the pho and they do use the dry noodles at this restaurant! I personally prefer the fresh noodles, but overall, I believe it is some good pho! 7/10. read more

Always passed by here and we decided to just give this place a try instead of going to a place I've been before. It's got plenty of seating inside and outside. The decors make you feel like you are in Vietnam. Service was quick. The fried rice was yummy. Broth it came with we didn't like. Just lacked taste. The pho was great. The soup was flavorful just wish it had more tendon and tripe. I do like you have the options of small or large. Looking forward to trying other menu items. read more

This spot is one of our got to spots when we don't want to go far from home. Nice & quaint atmosphere inside and they have outside tables too. The food & dishes have always been on point and always hot served with lots of flavor. I have yet to have a dish that was not delicious. The one downside to this place would be the small plastic cups they give customers for water. We are constantly having to ask for refills and when it's busy that can be a bit tricky. On the other hand you can be like me and bring your own H2o. The staff are all pretty polite & helpful, which is always a plus. Bathroom is universal and every time I have came to eat it has always been clean and tidy. read more

Was really craving pho Sunday night after going out and this was one of the only places open until midnight. The inside of the restaurant is nice, clean, and small. The service was quick and standard. No small talk, just eat and go which we loved. I didn't have high expectations going in, but the pho here is actually pretty good. The broth is very beefy and rich but clean. The portions are pretty sizable and the price isn't bad. This will be my new go to late night pho spot! read more

Love this place! I've only been here twice after my choir concerts, but both times were great. The staff is so nice and accommodating. We had a big group, so we had to sit outside, but they handled everything smoothly. They took all our orders, and the food came out fairly quickly. They did forget a couple of my friends' drinks, but it wasn't a big deal. I got the number one combo with meatballs, and it was delicious! The portion was huge--I was so full I couldn't even finish the soup. *Lol.* They let us pay separately, which made things way easier. Definitely would come back if I'm in the area! read more

Came here for a family dinner of 5. Being that Pho Tay Do is just down the street from home, the convenience aspect is def a win. Upon arrival, you notice seating is available both indoor and out. Outdoor is a great option for those who prefer this because everything is fully shaded. We were given the option of choosing our seat but unfortunately had to grab our own stack of menus due to the male employee overlooking us while busting tables. The gentleman eventually walked over to take our food order, not writing anything down and based everything on memory. He did make sure to repeat our orders & requested adjustments back to us prior to heading to the register. Dinner consisted of: Pho Bo Vien & Sach [Pho w/ Beef Balls & Tripe] Pho Chin Nam Gau Gan Sach [combination beef pho] x2 Hu Tieu Hai San [seafood rice noodle soup] - requested for NO SHRIMP, replace with more squid or fish ball. Soda Xi Muoi Sprite The food came out fairly quick and the plate of herbs provided was fresh. The seafood noodles soup clearly containing shrimp which we had requested for the kitchen to be removed. The rest of the orders were fine. I waited around patiently for our drinks to arrive and nothing came out besides the complimentary waters that were given shortly after our initial arrival. I waited and waited some more until it was clear that the drinks had been forgotten. The gentleman who took our order was nowhere to be found so I was forced to ask the younger gal handling the register. Food was okay but there are obvious kinks that need to be worked out. For starters, taking orders and actually writing them down would help tremendously. Restrooms were very clean which was very appreciated. 3 stars overall, I may come back given the easily accessible location but it's not a must. read more

Stopped here for our roadtrip up the coast. They're open late and they have amazing food! Service was nice and fast. We got the combo pho, beef and shrimp vermicelli bowl, and the Thai teas with boba. Vermicelli bowl was the winner. Excellent sauce and shrimp were perfectly cooked. Definitely would return. Plenty of searing and parking. read more

I finally tried this pho spot even though it's been around for a while, and I'm glad I did. It is a bit on the pricier side, but definitely worth it. The portions are generous especially the rice plates and the food quality is great. One of the best parts is that they're open until midnight, so it's a perfect spot to grab pho or a rice plate if you're getting off work late and craving something comforting. The service is great and fast they are super friendly. And the restaurant is a little bit small but there is outdoor setting if you don't want to eat inside. read more

We were driving on our way back from a road trip on Labor Day and was looking for a quick bite. This place hit the spot! Place was bright and well decorated. 2 TVs available to distract while waiting for food. Bun Bo Hue was spicy and spot on. Bbq beef was well marinated and tasty. The shared vegetables with the bean sprouts and basil was overflowing. Prices were reasonable as well since portions were big. Definitely a value find! read more

Good location, not hard to find parking. Large portion, good taste, will come more often.

Great food, great service. Would come here again! 10/10! Recommend No. 28 for anyone who loves seafood!

This place came recommended by a friend so we decided to check it out. We were just getting into our meal which tasted great when a baby cockroach crawled from under my bowl of pho. Yuck! We let the waitress, who was really nice, know and promptly left. Never have I ever sat down to eat and to be joined by cockroach. A baby one at that, which means there are a lot more somewhere. Will never return to this place. read more

the hours here are appealing. it's right across the street from tastea and TP tea. their thai tea was good, not extra sweet. the vietnamese coffee is really strong. the pho broth lacked some depth. the herbs were clean. the rare steak was a little rough. there wasn't much tendon in my order, which was bummer. for it not being too busy on a saturday morning, the staff is hard to flag down. read more

The pho broth here was good in terms of flavor; tasted just like most other pho spots. I got a small size pho for $13.50. Pretty cheap compared to other spots but it shows in the small portion of noodles and meat. The meat was just okay in quality, and I found that the tendon in my bowl was undercooked and hard. Other than that, all the side fixings were fresh and I have no complaints in that aspect. Service was a little disappointing. We were not checked on throughout the meal and were not given any napkins. When we paid at the register, I found the worker pretty rude. I was looking for 60 cents of change to give him, but he rushed me and told me to give him a dollar instead. We expected change back, but he simply took the dollar, put it in the register, and walked away. The ambiance is very casual, nothing particularly special. read more

A decent spot to get some Pho. The staff is efficient and friendly enough. This looks like a family owned operation. The venue is bright and clean, with a good amount of room. It doesn't have that run down feeling like some other spots close by. The parking lot isn't the biggest as it's shared with several other businesses, but I had no issues grabbing a spot. 2. Dặc Biệt - 3/5 Good size bowl, but they do tend to skimp on the meat. I feel other places give you a lot more meat for an equivalent Pho dish. The Pho flavor of the broth here is also not the best. read more

My buen servicio, y todo delicioso, el ambiente es agradable y la atención de Kaylin muy buena!

Given the number of pho places in San Jose, this place to me is really just "a-ok." It wins on convenience and location (open late and super close by), but the pho fell short compared to other places I've had. There's a strong one-note flavor that lingered in the broth that I can't quite pinpoint which dominated the flavor profile. Otherwise it was decent enough pho, but I'd probably head to other places a little further away still if I'm craving pho. read more
