    Pho Tai (no onions nor cilantro).
    Tram N.

    My first meal out since the 49th day has passed. I've been eating a vegetarian diet for 50 days to help my uncle in his afterlife. I knew I wanted pho, but it was an added bonus to have not just Gavin but my nephew, too. It was my first time taking him out. We ordered 2 Pho Dac Biet and a small Pho Tai w/o onions and cilantro. I asked for a small bowl and scissors. The restaurant was clean, service was quick, and nice. My only complaint was having to use disposable wooden chopsticks. Other than that the broth was flavorful. I appreciated the generous amounts of tripe and tendon. I'm glad there is another pho place in South San Jose.

    Excellent! The ambiance is relaxing as if at home, service is quick and the food is outstanding.

    Vegan pho
    Anna B.

    3.5/5. The vegan pho broth was just a veggie bouillon - didn't have any of the traditional Vietnamese aromatics. Pho was piping hot, good quantity of veggies and tofu. Service was quick, you go pay at the register. Glad for vegan options, wish they made the broth with the spices as they do for the beef phos.

    Combo # 1
    James S.

    Came here for lunch on a cold but busy day, place was packed but service was fast, prompt and friendly. Ordered the #1 combo which only comes in Large but a good portion size of variety of the meats. The Vietnamese iced coffee was strong a flavorful, packing a nice punch to wake you up. The store is a bit small so try coming a bit early for lunch as it does get packed or you will need to wait a bit.

    Wow -- I can't believe it took me this long to dine in at Pho Teresa! I've only ever stopped by for coffee and smoothies to-go (which are amazing, by the way), but sitting down for a meal here was a game-changer. The place is spotless, the family that runs it is incredibly warm and welcoming, and the service makes you feel right at home. I especially love that the young son works there with his parents -assuming this. I ordered Shaking Cubed Marinated Filet Mignon Beef with Tomato Rice plate -- the beef was juicy, tender, and cooked to perfection. The red rice was packed with flavor, and the sautéed veggies? Chef's kiss! Everything was fresh, balanced, and satisfying, and soooo filling. Between the hospitality, the mouthwatering food, and the cozy, clean setting, it's definitely earned a spot on my regular rotation. If you haven't tried it yet, you're seriously missing out!

    Family owned Pho restaurant that has great service and food. Got the steak rice plate and my wife got some Pho. Both were delicious and the service was fast. Their veggies are fresh and the steak was seasoned and cooked perfectly. Definitely come here if you want authentic food.

    I came to Pho Theresa for lunch with my coworkers today and I gotta say, we were extremely satisfied. I ordered a small bowl of the fatty beef pho. The large size was a dollar more but the small portion size was perfect and filling! I can only imagine what the large size would be like! The service was quick and we got in right in time before the lunch rush. I will most definitely be back to try their large bowls of pho on my day off so I can take a nap after ^_^

    2. Rare Steak, Well Done Brisket, Flank, Tendon & Tripe Noodle Soup
    Ethan W.

    Classic pho restaurant with squeeze bottle sauces and a holder at each table for sauce trays and utensils. Great: Tamarind Wings - first of all, the wings are HUGE. Big hulking anabolic chickens they get these from. After deep frying they're briefly stir fried with some fragrant vegetables and mixed with a sweet and tangy tamarind sauce. Really worth the price! Good: Combination Pho #2: I honestly feel like most pho tastes pretty similar. This one is solid, but there's nothing that particular elevates it in my eye above the competition. The meats were good quality and tendons were nice and soft. Service is quick and efficient. Love a classic pho restaurant. I'd say this place is just a tad on the pricier side but I think it's worth the journey. I do prefer reusable utensils rather than all disposable which they have here for the chopsticks and sauce trays, but super minor.

    I ordered the pho bo vien and if anyone knows this order, most restaurants usually skimp on the beef balls... Thank goodness not pho Theresa! The right amount and then some and the pho itself is flavorful. Love this place

    25. Large Hot & Spicy Beef with Rice Noodle Soup
    Timothy F.

    So far so great! My first viet restaurant since I moved to San Jose, and I have to say I was very satisfied! I was living in the Napa/vallejo area for so long, I didn't know what was out there, and I was told by many that San Jose has the best viet food in the bay! They weren't kidding! The portion was great and it was better than anything I had in a long while! The service was quick and accommodating. The place was very clean and plenty of parking! I'll be back as a regular!

    10. Well Done Brisket & Flank Noodle Soup
    John L.

    I have been waiting for a good Pho spot in my area for sometime now. The restaurant was nice and clean. The service was very good and attentive. The Pho was really good. I loved the broth and everything tasted fresh. This really hit the spot. I love all the options they had for you right at the table with hoisin sauce, sriracha sauce, soy sauce, chili crisp etc. The Spring rolls were excellent and really refreshing. I ate two and took the rest home. I appreciate they gave me a container to take the peanut sauce home as well. Lots of Vietnamese restaurants forget that all the time. I am definitely coming back here soon!

You have the option to choose what style you want and then what type of noodles you want. I like this as can always switch it up. Even so, I still get the same thing each time. The portions are big, at least for me. I'm always so stuffed when I leave. I love their pickled garlic and thai chilis. Their thai chilis are extra spicy here. There's usually a line, so I recommend coming early, as the place is not too large. I love that this place is more affordable than my other spot. Parking in this plaza can be a pain though. You got to get lucky, or come early.

It's a pretty intimate space, so I highly recommend coming early on the weekends because it definitely gets packed fast. One of my favorite things about this place is that they let you choose your preferred type of noodles. Having that option gives it a great, customizable touch every time you visit and want to switch things up. I also love the sides and table condiments they provide, most places don't offer a spread like this! The pickled garlic is absolutely to die for, and their chili oil packs the perfect punch. If you are looking for a cozy, delicious, and budget-friendly meal, this place is a must-try. It is definitely going into my regular rotation!

I do wish they had a soup option for vegetarians but it's pretty hard to get a good veggie broth so it's understandable. what we got: cucumber salad (5/10 yums): I think the reason why I rate this so low is because of preference. I almost always get cucumber salad at restaurants. However, this cucumber salad was just a tad bit bland and had WAY too much cilantro. I usually do like cilantro, but it was way too much. hot and sour woodear salad (7/10 yums): Although I did enjoy this, I do feel like I've had better woodear salads before. This one had a strong lemon taste which kind of threw me off, but I personally liked the onions that went with it. chicken rice noodles (10/10 yums): my GO TO. I like how it is refreshing and not too oily or heavy. I love how there is an option for low salt, which I usually go for. Golden triangle (8/10 yums): I usually prefer soup rice noodles, but this is a great option for vegetarians. It is heavily spiced and has the option for spicy or non-spicy.
