Aurgh, we saw the sign for happy hour, 20% off from 2-5pm. They didn't honor it since the order was rung in at 1:58pm. WTH? Pho dac biet- the bone was so dry and difficult to eat. The fresh noodles were mushy and not chewy. Pho ap chao gion - not edible here. It was stale and not crispy. The beef they used was tai, so it was dry and lean. I see a lot of fake 5 star reviews here. Note to the owner, spend less time writing fake reviews and more time training their chef and controlling food quality. Hope they enjoyed their 20%, because they lost a customer forever. read more

We always come for Pho Ha Noi, but today their power was out so they were closed. So we decided to try Pho This Way because we've walked by it many times on our way to CA Bakehouse. So disappointing. Much regret. The rare steak was way lower quality, very thin slices that weren't very tender. The broth tasted more artificial, artificially sweet. And they give lemon instead of lime?? Isn't authentic pho supposed to come with lime, not lemon?? Didn't enjoy the food at all. Also, service was suuuper slow. Maybe we're spoiled by how quickly Pho Ha Noi comes out with your food after you order. Definitely not coming again. read more

VERY happy! I know there are so many options around here that we've had before, but on this day we decided to try Pho This Way where we were able to be seated immediately for a Saturday lunch. It smells delicious as soon as you walk in and even better tasting. I originally wanted pho but I decided to get the shaking beef with garlic noodles and it was a huge portion size and very flavorful. I'm also glad they used good quality beef. I also tried my husband's pho and their broth is exactly how I like my pho broth to be. Personally, I'm no pho connoisseur but I think this one might be the better pho options around here lol. read more

Decided to give this place a try as our usual spot had a super long wait. The food and menu looked promising and the restaurant was full but had a couple empty tables. We got two pho one with the fresh wide noodles and one with skinny noodles. Both were great but I did notice the broth to be on the sweet side. I think if the broth wasn't that sweet, I would give this a 5 star. It seems like others have noticed a sweeter note to the broth. I might come back to try their other items given the shorter wait time and fast and friendly service! read more

Food and service here are amazing. The place is pretty inside. Plenty of seating inside and out. I came a little after they opened, so we got the place to ourselves. I ordered their Bún bò Huế, fried egg rolls, and brisket soup with thin noodles. My kids loved it. They said the broth and flavors were all there. The Bún bò Huế was really good. The pork was a little tough, but the beef was super tender. I just wish it had a little more spice. Other than that, I'll be coming back. read more

Was in the area for a different restaurant which was unfortunately due to cleanliness. Found this spot within walking distance. Was quickly greeted, offered water and menus. Ordered...Pho Tron This Way (5/5) The food came quick and hot. Initially thought it was on the pricy side but was shocked by the amount of meat in the dish. It's a dry mix flat rice noodle with a sweet soy sauce and various cuts of beef, topped with fried shallots and peanuts. A side of hot beef broth with beef and meatballs. Side plate of beans sprouts, basil, jalapeño and lemon. It was well balanced, flavorful and filling. It's a generous portion but I manage to finished everything. I left happy to have found this gem. Highly recommend! read more

I am not sure when, but this place quickly became one of my favorite spots in Vietnam town. I've tried several items on their menu, like the Salt Roasted Squid, Fried Chicken Cartilage with Fish Sauce, Fried Rice, Pho, and Bun Bo Hue, but my absolute favorite is the Fried Chicken Rice Plate with Fish Sauce. The others are good, but this rice plate is on another level. Definitely very flavorful and delicious. It's heavy on the fish sauce, so if you're not used to Vietnamese fish sauce, it might be a bit strong/quite overpowering for your palate. If I had one tiny thing: the prices are a bit on the higher side compared to some other pho places in the area. But given the quality and the experience, I still think it's worth it. Additionally, the service here is great. Nice and friendly group of people. It's a family-run place, so it has a really homey, comfortable vibe. They're not fancy or over the top, but they make sure you have what you need. Overall, I definitely recommend this place! If you want an authentic Vietnamese spot, but not feeling the fish sauce, there are always lots of other items on the menu to choose from that are also very good. read more

The first few times we came to the Vietnam Town area, we wanted to stop by the famous Pho Hanoi and California Bakehouse as per recommendations from locals. But when those spots had a huge line out the door, we opted for Pho This Way instead and were pleasantly surprised. There wasn't too many people in the restaurant when we got seated. The restaurant has a cute little space and was very orderly and clean. The staff was attentive to us and got us started with ordering pretty quickly. We orderd the Pho Suon Bo (beef rib) and Pho Ap Chao (crispy fried pho). The pho broth was nice and rich with a solid amount of food albeit still somewhat expensive at the price point or arouond $17-$18. The pho ap chao was surprisingly good - it can be quite a hit or miss depending on the restaurant. I really like when places deep fry thicker cut noodles as they can get really crispy while still holding gravy sauce and the veggies/protein well. Pho This Way is a solid choice in the sprawling shopping center of Vietnam Town for anyone coming through for a visit. read more

These guys do so much more than the typical pho, rice and vermicelli dishes! We had squid with chili paste appetizer and clam in lemon grass and herb soup. They are both fantastic. The clams tasted super fresh! The server provided great suggestion and was friendly! read more

Saw that had a dry mix pho and I knew I had to try it. Fish sauce chicken wings (4/5): it comes with plenty of pieces. The fish flavor was great as it was tangy, sweet, and sticky. However I thought the chicken was a bit too dry for me. Pho tron this way (4/5): Tron means to mix in Vietnamese. The dry part comes with pho noodles, a sweet mix sauce, meat, peanuts, and other vegetables. In addition it also comes with broth, meat, and beef ball. The sauce was sweet but I felt like something was missing to make it satisfied, but it was still good. I also really enjoy the broth just in case you're sick of the dry part. Lemon chanh soda (4/5); Not as sweet as I hoped, but it tasted more like the plum soda. Overall I really enjoyed my time here. Really excellent service read more

Came back to this restaurant with some friends to try other dishes. We got a few new dishes and the only good ones were the beef pho, deep fried noodle, and bun thit nuong cha gio. The snail dish was not as good. Too much butter and cheese? The banana blossom special goi dish had this smell like it was contaminated with a cleaning solution. Overall, the customer service was great and the food came out fast. read more

After passing by so many time, I finally stopped by to try it out and this did not disappoint! Let me just say they do not skimp on the portions!

Friendly service and checked in on us multiple times to make sure everything was good. I would recommend trying this place out! read more

Stopped by Pho This Way and ordered the pho đặc biệt with beef rib, and it definitely hit the spot. The bowl came out steaming hot with a rich, beefy broth that was clean and comforting, not overly greasy. The beef rib was the star . Huge, tender, and full of flavor, easily falling off the bone and making the bowl feel extra satisfying. The rest of the meats were solid, the noodles were cooked well, and the portion size was generous. Garnishes were fresh, and everything tasted balanced once you added a bit of hoisin, chili, and lime. Service was quick and straightforward, and the space was casual and comfortable. Perfect for any pho craving. Very solid pho, especially if you're craving a beef rib bowl. I'd definitely come back. read more

As a Vietnamese girl, I eat a lot of pho, but this one stood out for their unique take on Vietnamese cuisine, including a stellar big bowl of pho with more than enough meat!

The art and ambiance is unmatched inside, and they have a big tv to entertain you with all kinda of creators and influencers trying their food! Very popular here and on social media. 10/10 read more

Most pho tastes the same..or so I thought..when people would ask me what's your favorite pho place in San Jose..I would say it doesn't matter because they all tastes the same..until I tasted Pho This Way!!! Pho This Way is my favorite pho restaurant in San Jose!!! Their broth is so tasty and it smells so good!!! I come here about 2-3 times a week to grab an early dinner after work. My go to pho order is their Pho Dac Biet..it's their special pho and it comes with a variety of beef AND a large beef bone!!! Yummy!!! If you are in the Vietnam Town area and want amazing pho come to Pho This Way!!! read more

Extremely disappointed. Any other pho restaurant I've been to gives short ribs and this place says "beef rib" on the menu. They give you back ribs, which are cheaper ribs with less meat that is tougher. The only reason to use them is to increase margins. Probably the same reason they leave the peritoneum (membrane) on the rib. They are too cheap and lazy to separate it and have decided to make the customer do the work. For the same price any other pho place will give you short ribs with more than double the meat that is more tender and you aren't forced to do the work their employees should. I will never come back. read more

Solid Vietnamese food with an extensive menu! Love the pho dac biet and the bun thai. The broth on both noodle soups is deep and rich. They also have hot pots, which I have yet to try, but looking forward to coming back. Service is prompt and courteous, and the place is clean and homey. read more

I came with my toddler for a mommy and me dinner date. We normally go to different pho spot around the corner but I decided to give this place a try. We came around 5:30 and there were a couple people inside. They said to sit wherever and my toddler chose the back. I regret sitting back there because one of the employees was on their computer and dinner break. I felt like I was intruding. We ordered quickly and thankfully food came promptly. I may come back during the weekend to see if its busier and the vibe would be different. read more

I finally got to check out Pho This Way recently and it was a really great experience. The staff was very warm and inviting and was eager to serve my friend and I. We ordered the net egg rolls, crispy chicken with stir fried noodles and also the crispy fried noodles with beef. Everything was so good especially the egg rolls. Not a lot of places make egg rolls like this. I highly recommend it! The server noticed that my friend and I were sharing food and he came up to us and offered extra plates and also extra utensils. That was very observant and nice of him. What's funny is that the restaurant was playing AI generated songs about the restaurant which was really cute. Definitely a great spot for Vietnamese food in Vietnam Town that's simple yet flavorful. read more

I came here for a holiday dinner. My anm suggested this place and ordered for us. She definitely has great taste in food because the dishes she picked out were all so good! We ordered a bunch of dishes, kind of like family style, so we were able to try different things. My favorite is the shredded chicken and banana blossom salad. It was so refreshing! And that fish sauce that comes with it goes so well! I definitely kept going back for more. The stir-fried beef tendon with chili paste was also good; I love that kick! The salt-roasted shrimp and squid were also pretty tasty; that crunch... yum! The fried chicken cartilage was good too. The shaking beef macaroni was only okay for me. The beef was soft, but the dish tasted bland. The seafood fried rice was pretty tasty, though! I would come back to try their pho, though. Definitely next time! I tried their sugarcane juice, it was OK. Not to sweet which was nice. read more

Finally got around to trying Pho This Way after driving past it so many times. The reviews looked promising. We came around 6pm on a Saturday and the restaurant was half full. We got a table right away. Service was nice and fast. I got the phone 2 toppings - rare steak on the side and meatballs. The broth was very flavorful and the fresh noodles was nice. I also like how much veggies they give including tbe green onions in the pho. The portion was huge. My friend got the bun bo hue. The flavor was a bit mild but they did not skimp out in the meat. I love all the little touch the restaurant put in like the logo inside the pho bowl. And they even had their own song! read more

Pho Quest Stop #81 **4.5 Stars** I'm not Vietnamese but I eat a lot of pho. While new places pop up all the time, it's rare to find something novel Pho This Way is among the newer establishments in Vietnam Town and already well-reviewed The interior is modern and clean and the menu is fairly straightforward with appetizers, Vietnamese rice and noodle soups, and even a robust selection of vegetarian items But what caught my eye is the first pho option above the Dac Biet choice that is usually the "special" or all inclusive choice Pho Trôn This Way: Mixed Vietnamese Noodle. It's an option I've never seen at all the pho spots I've tried Simply put it's like a clever hybrid of Hu Tieu Nam Vang and pho yet done really well The owner recommended more of the sweet soy sauce over the dry noodles and a splash of their hot chili oil, both of which really enhanced the dish Combine that with meat cuts with minimal gristle and fat, loads of fresh sprouts and herbs, and a savory hot broth with a touch of sweetness and I was very happy I wanted to ask where the idea came from and whether it was just a new take or had been a family recipe for a long time But this part of town isn't for the sit down conversation or for long multi hour meals...instead its the perfect spot for quick and comfort eats that fill that a craving that you didn't know you had Pho Trôn This Way $17.95 ~ This Way Dry Mixed Vietnamese Noodle / Cha Gio $11.95 ~ Egg Roll Pho This Way (San Jose, CA) I've tried over 80 pho restaurants in San Jose, the U.S. city with the largest population of Vietnamese-Americans.
