Craving a Bahn Mi before my flight and I was lucky to find Pho Viet. the place is a little takeout joint but there is a decent sized dining area. Not great ambiance but the lady at the counter was very sweet and the service was excellent. I got the pork Bahn Mi sandwich and I must say it was one of the biggest I've had anywhere. I have to say it was mega fantastic!!! Dude, I love it and struggled to finish it!!!! If you need a Bahn Mi you can't go wrong choking Pho Viet. read more

Soup base is always good tasting here. It used to be a good 4.7-5 stars place attracting many tech employees as customers over a decade ago. These days, don't expect much customers on weekends. Feels dead and empty during cold weather rainy days. You can still dine inside or outside. Looks like more people are enjoying takeout orders instead. They do get busy with people picking up orders. Indoor dining can take awhile since it's not fully staffed. We still enjoyed our #10 small bowl over $16 Pho Dac Biet Combo. Large bowls cost more, but portions are decent. Simple and it has the small beef meatballs in it. Menu looks shorter these days. I still remembered the better times here many years ago when vibes were more exciting with hustlers bustling, serving the working class people in the area. These days, staffs speak Vietnamese most of the time. Place feels different, but the foods are still delicious. We still enjoyed the place when it was much under $13-$14 per bowl back in the old days. $16-$18.25 is on the higher side now. read more

Been trying to go to this spot on my lunch break, but the parking lot is always a mad house, so I always pivot to another spot. This time I got lucky and got a spot. The Vermicelli bowl was massive, but I didn't feel stuffed afterward. I wasn't feeling shrimp, so it was nice that they allowed me to substitute for the egg roll. Service and the restaurant were clean. The only negative was that darn small parking lot. read more

Pho Viet - 60. BBQ Pork and Egg Rolls with Vermicelli ( I subbed out the shrimp) - Vietnamese Near Me - San Jose, California

Imagine this - It's a warm sunny day and you're perhaps hangry and you see Pho Viet in the distance. A ray of (Pho) light. Vibes: It's a humble eatery, it's a place where you come for nothing but just good food, where decor isn't important. Crowd: It can get quite busy in here, so plan accordingly. The seating area is limited, but it's a fast-paced eatery. It's popular among the locals and families. Service: The team at Pho Viet was quick and prompt. They cleared tables and laid out the order with the condiments in no time. They were extremely sweet and helpful. The bite: Before I get to the pho, the portion size was humongous. I got the chicken pho and vegetarian pho. The pho came with a side of bean sprouts, basil, and lemon wedges, and it was a hearty meal. Don't be fooled by the clear broth because it is concentrated with flavor. I also tried their delicious avocado boba smoothie. The smoothies are more like a shake, but its rich, creamy, cold, and sinful. Pho Viet surprised me. While the pho is the hero, the avocado smoothie is a must-try - maybe you can skip the boba, but don't miss the smoothie! read more

I was in the mood for Vietnamese rice dish and Pho Viet was near my office. I called in for a pick up. There was one person who wasn't fluent in English and had to pass my call to another. They have a small menu of rice dishes. I ordered the grilled pork and fried shrimp. The pork was tasty and the shrimp crispy. The flavor was just right. Carrots were overcooked. They only had veggie fried eggrolls. Hope they consider doing a pork fried one. The restaurant is off Trimble/1st Street inside a plaza. Finding parking during lunch can be challenging. Highway 101 is not far from the place so you can easily drive over for a quick bite or wait for the commute traffic to die down. read more

Pho Viet - 70. BBQ Pork and Shrimp with Rice - Vietnamese Near Me - San Jose, California

Fairly good Vietnamese lunch joint with simple menu and ambience. Went in for lunch and had the vegetarian bun plate with egg rolls and a lemonade. The vegetarian bun plate comes with bun, a salad made up of cucumber, carrots and bean sprouts, peanuts and egg rolls. The quantity of food is good enough and service is quick. I wish they had tofu with the vermicelli noodles though. Overall a place with quick service and good simple Vietnamese food for lunch. read more

Pho Viet - Vegetarian Egg Rolls with Vermicelli - Vietnamese Near Me - San Jose, California

We are regulars at this restaurant. Our go to meal is the Bun Bo Hue pho with thin noodles. The service is always quick and she knows our order very well. The food is delicious and super spicy, just like we like it. The restaurant is clean and always a packed house at lunch time. Speedy service!! They know how to get people in and out quickly. read more

Pho Viet - 52. Spicy Udon Soup-Bun Bo Hue - Vietnamese Near Me - San Jose, California

Came here since dish & dash nearby was crowded I had the pork and shrimp vermicelli noodles, and it felt like it barely had the basics. The veggies were mainly just lettuce, and the portion size was a bit smaller than what I've had. It's a pretty small place, and only one waiter was available. Kinda hard to grab her attention when she was busy helping all of the tables. Probably needed extra help during lunch hour. The place itself isn't very special, just your standard pho place, and parking in this plaza is hard to find! read more

I ordered pho and had only been eating for a few minutes when an employee came out and started cleaning the floor right next to my table. They turned on a large floor-drying fan and began mopping with what smelled like a strong degreaser or cleaning chemical. The fan blew the chemical smell throughout the dining area, and it quickly became overwhelming. It completely ruined my appetite, and I couldn't even finish a quarter of my meal before leaving. I understand that restaurants need to clean, but using strong cleaning chemicals and running a floor fan that blows those odors directly toward customers while they are eating is something I simply don't understand. It made me question the restaurant's judgment and overall food safety practices. Unfortunately, this experience made it difficult for me to trust the restaurant, regardless of the quality of the food read more

It's been ages since I've been here and to my surprise, the quality of service and food has not changed. You literally get what you pay for. Good portion and good service. The only downside of my experience was the smell of the restaurant. Maybe it was because I arrived 5pm on a Thursday and they were mopping. There was no one there, then again I arrived after office hours and got seated immediately. I ordered the food and got it within minutes. I ordered the pork chop and when it arrived, the grilled aroma brought me back to my first visit here. The pork chop was cooked to perfection and it came with broth to wash down my meal. I think it was broth from their pho. It was GOOD. I think I'll be coming back more often. Price: $-$$ Quality of food: A++ Quality of service: A++ read more

Pho Viet - Vietnamese Near Me - San Jose, California

I usually get soups here, which are pretty nice, like any typical pho. Today I tried a pork sandwich. Maybe it's meant to be this way, but you get a lot of good baguette and not much of anything else. What I really like is quick and efficient service read more

Great food! Great service! Great price! Friendly staff! Authentic flavors! Pho, banh mi, vermicelli, bun bo hue are my favorites

Good food, fast service. The flan BoGo is so delicious, and they have happy hours with very good prices

For this Reason, im rating a one star... Im irritated at staff who are giving customers their food... i ordered "TOFU SPRING ROLL" and im given spring roll with shrimp and pork. How the hell am i given Pork after i asked for Tofu.... Staff need to read and pay attention to who they are giving orders to people. I do hope this doesn't happen again. read more

food is very good fresh .Servicxe is excellent. Everyone is nice. Everything is great .

Meh. Yup, it's definitely not Little Saigon. I arrived about 25 min to closing on a weekday and was told only takeout order. It was close to where I was staying so worth the try but I'll go elsewhere next time. Interior was colorful but service felt lacking. Broth was thin and not too flavorful. It hit the hunger pangs but didn't go much further. For the price, I'd expect more. Drive for food is my motto ... keep on driving. YMMV. read more

I'm so surprised by the reviews here. I got spring roles and the raw beef pho and it's literally the worst Vietnamese food I've ever had. Whatever cut of steak they give you isn't even meant to be eaten...I would take a mouthful of broth, noodles, and a bit of steak, and all would be chewed up except for a ball of meat gum that literally could not be processed through my mouth. The spring rolls are so dry. They should be called hot dessert rolls. Nothing fresh, more chewy meat that I can't get past the first step of digesting (ingesting), but I got 3 whole shrimp cut in half! Maybe I'm spoiled and know a lot of realllly good Vietnamese spots, but this ain't it and it's mostly inedible read more

Pho Viet - These are half shrimps too. Dry leathery meat and 90% romaine lettuce - Vietnamese Near Me - San Jose, California

My family went shortly after they opened so it was not very busy. We were seated and got our food very quickly. The pho was wonderful and each person got their own plate of bean sprouts, basil and lime wedge. I tried their avocado smoothie which was delicious and stayed cold for a long time. I highly recommend this place! read more

It was a Cold Night and I was in the Mood for Pho !!! So I rolled to Pho Viet !!! They are located in a Strip Mall on First Street!!! So parking is very easy . I parked my Whip up front and Rolled in like a Boss !!! I grabbed a Table and ordered a Large Bowl of Combo Beef Pho with Everything in it!!! Service was a little Rude and Lacking Courtesy !!!! My Bowl of Pho arrived 15 minutes later!! Piping Hot!!! It was Pretty Good but it was a little lacking in the Beef Area and the Pricing was at the Higher End of the Scale!!! But Pho Viet is Still a Baller on a Budget Approved Establishment!!!! read more

*3.5* I noticed Pho Viet was close by to my work so I decided to come have lunch. Can't say no to pho on a cold/wet/rainy day. Be aware, there's limited parking in the lot, especially during lunch time. There's other restaurants in the plaza so it gets packed. I walked in and the place was packed, even the tables outside were taken. Luckily I was seated quick because I was solo. The menu is pretty simple. I went with the pho dac biet (#1) and shrimp/pork spring rolls. I asked for steak on the side. There's only small/large size. When the food arrived, the soup was piping hot, big big plus. The steak on the side was only 3 pieces, but there were plenty of meat in the bowl. The broth was good, flavorful. I'm not sure how fresh the noodles were because they weren't breaking apart as easy. Most of it eventually broke apart in chunks. The spring rolls were a good size, however it wasn't wrapped too tight so it began splitting towards the end of each piece. You can either get a half order or full order. With the peanut sauce, you can't go wrong with a spring roll tbh. Overall, the food was good. Between all the pho places I've tried, this is probably middle of the pack, which is a good thing. A good lunch spot if I'm ever craving pho.. read more

Our go to place for pho . We have been consistent to this place for almost a decade. Service is also friendly, good food = happy tummies.. portion is also big. Will be back soon ! read more

Excellent Pho Ga! If you love chicken noodle soup or you're feeling under the weather, it always hits the spot for me! They never overcook the noodles and the chicken isn't dry like some other pho places. Broth is fragrant too. I have also tried the Bun Tom Nuong (BBQ Shrimp with Vermicelli Noodle). The shrimp is good and it's a decent portion for the price. The noodles are bit too firm for my liking though. The staff are really friendly and efficient. They can grow really busy on weekdays during lunch, so get here before noon to beat the rush! Their avocado smoothies are good too :) read more

Upon first impression, I wasn't wild about how they weren't bussing their tables. Lots of dirty dishes on about 3 different tables and they weren't even attending to cleaning them the entire time I dined there. Kind of a turn off. So why 4 stars? Because their Pho was on point!!! So authentic and flavorful. I bought the combo beef pho with egg noodles. I loved the mixture of rare steak, flanks, tendon and tripe. So thinly cut so it was easy to eat. Although I still would have preferred wood chopsticks over plastic ones as those are always easier to eat with. But I get it, less waste using the plastic reusable ones. Anyway, I would have given them 5 stars if they cleaned their dining area a little better. read more

Pho Viet - Combo beef pho - Vietnamese Near Me - San Jose, California

Everything we ordered was delicious, and the portions were huge! The spicy hot soup was bursting with flavor and loaded with veggies and toppings. The pork chops were tender and tasty, and the BBQ pork Bánh Mì was fresh, generously sized, and packed with flavor. My husband and I couldn't finish everything--there was just too much food! We're definitely saving the leftovers for lunch tomorrow. The cashier was super friendly and welcoming, and the service was excellent. The restaurant is clean, well-organized, and has a cozy, inviting vibe. This was our first visit, and it's conveniently within walking distance from our hotel. We'll definitely be back--highly recommend to anyone looking for a great Vietnamese restaurant! read more

Super nice and very friendly!!! The best Pho in town! Recommend for everyone! Thanks a lot !!!!!

Great veggie spring rolls for the portion. Veggie pho was only okay tho. Nice staff and quick service.

Love their eggrolls, but unfortunately their egg rolls got twice smaller with the same price. It's not as flavorful like it was, I guess it's time to go somewhere else. The pho is okay read more

Got the number 50, beef pho. The broth was very good and flavorful, just adding in the lemon wedge is enough. No hoisin sauce needed. The beef was good too, easy to eat and melts in mouth. Only thing was there was fat on the beef pieces but i still got served a lot of it for a small portion so that's ok. Their fish sauce and egg rolls are also good . Quick service and clean bathroom are always bonuses too. read more

Not worth it. I stopped in while I was driving through town one morning and stopped in here. I ordered seafood combo with egg noodle & nothing about it was seafood. A few shrimps, imitation crab (which not seafood at all), 2 really tiny baby scallops, and I think a fish ball? Can't remember but was very disappointing. Broth wasn't tasty at all. I will not be coming back read more

Great lunch spot for a quick, refreshing meal! Service was efficient and the ambience homely. We ordered Spring Rolls, the Bbq chicken Vermicelli, the beef stew soup and a Vietnamese iced coffee (you gotta!) and the total came up to around $50 so good value for money as well! The char and flavors on the bbq chicken I ordered was spot on. Would recommend. However I've had better spring rolls. I also enjoyed my iced coffee which was strong and sweet but well balanced- perfect to combat the post lunch slump on a summer day :) read more

I went here for lunch with my coworkers. Lots of parking. Menu is simple to read with English and Vietnamese translation. Pictures on the menu are great too! Especially the extras. I ordered #14 pho Tai Nam (rare steak & flank) -LARGE while all my friends ordered a small LOL. A girls gotta eat.. The small is $12.45 and large is $14.25. The large bowl is definitely worth it! Soo much noodles and portions are huge! I got their avocado smoothie $5.25 -- I asked for extra sweet and it had just the right amount of sweetness. Cha Gio (egg roll) 6 pcs $8.45 -- crispy and delicious They were following all safety protocols and guidelines. Staff wearing masks. I appreciate how the utensils were neatly packaged. Service was very fast and the workers are so nice and sweet. I would come back! #supportsmallbusinesses read more

We used to come here a lot. The quality of the food still seems good. But the quantity sure is smaller. For the large bowl they still give you a big bowl but the amount of noodles and meat is very small. Mostly soup. I kind of expect more for $16. read more

I only came here for the smoothie. I wanted something with real fruits and it was either the avocado or the strawberry smoothies. I had the avocado one and it tasted pretty good.

Had lunch with my childhood friend at this spot. I ordered the Seafood Combo Noodle Soup and he ordered the BBQ Pork Chops with Steamed Rice.

Nice Vietnamese spot in a strip mall with other food options. Quality was good, fast casual environment. Most menu items are what you would find on the most standard Vietnamese restaurant. Pho, banh mi, etc. Nothing wrong with the menu, but standard affair. If you're in the area worth your time. read more

Came here on 5/14/2025 for lunch and rarely do because it's always packed. Food is good but the reason i won't be coming back is because the lady behind the register was cutting her nails. Pretty unsanitary for a place that handles food and not the sound you wanna hear when you're eating. read more
