    Got the pho special, which includes brisket, tripe, tendon, rare steak, and flank. The pho special (pho dac biet) usually comes with meatballs, but my order did not include any. The broth was light, and lacked the rich pho flavor I was expecting. I also ordered the chicken spring rolls, which were okay. They tasted like they were premade and had been sitting in the fridge rather than freshly prepared. Since this was a takeout order, I also did not receive any plastic utensils or chopsticks, which was disappointing. Portion sizes were small, and for the three items totaling around $60, it was not worth the price.

    Beef Pho

    I've been dining at Pho Wagon since they opened about 13 years ago. If I remember correctly, the restaurant used to be a Burger King. They did a good job transforming it in to a Vietnamese restaurant. I hadn't eaten there in a few years until tonight. I'd never tried their pho before, but the reviews were positive. I had the beef pho delivered. The broth was extremely hot; I had to use pot holders to pour it into the bowl. They give you quite a bit of raw steak-- I couldn't believe how many pieces there were. Overall, the pho was very good, with flavorful broth that I enjoyed with the cilantro and onions they provide in a little bag. I also ordered the spring rolls with veggies, shrimp, and pork. They tasted fresh and delicious, and the peanut dipping sauce was very good, too. The pho is slightly more expensive than most places in San Jose. I don't mind paying more because of the large portions and because it tastes fresh and well prepared.

    Nice family restaurant with good food. Sometimes I forget that this restaurant is here because it's a little bit hidden in a shopping center but the food is good and the people who work here are friendly. Fun trivia: this location used to be a Burger King.

    Lemongrass pork and egg roll with rice meal

    Always consistent! I have ordered a bunch of different items from Pho Wagon including - lemongrass pork spring roll (harder to find these days), chicken pho, veggie pho, beef pho, lemongrass pork rice plate. Everything is consistent in flavor, the amount of food and the quality. Today I am enjoying the pork and egg roll with rice meal. Ordered to go and had great service on the phone. Plus it was ready when I arrived!

    Your basic Pho. Nothing fancy schmancy. Small bowl is 17.50, large 19 A bit on the pricey end, good to get a craving but if you drive 8-10 min more you can find arguably better pho. Probably would come in a pinch as it's closer to Campbell pruneyard Meets the need, the service was fast. Ambiance is casual. Taste was aight

    Build Your Own Pho: meatballs, rare steak, brisket
    Mike S.

    Came in on a Saturday night and this place can fill up during the later hours. Plenty of parking in the plaza but traffic can get busy due to all the to go orders. Started off with the fried shrimp which were great. They were a little hot so needed to let them cool down, but it also allowed them to become more crispy. I then moved onto a large bowl of make your own pho. Had the meatballs, rare steak, and brisket. This broth is so flavorful and came out piping hot. This place is clean and the service is friendly, but it is on the tad pricier side compared to other places.

    Thai Iced Tea

    My family has been going to and ordering from Pho Wagon since I was a kid! We dined in recently for dinner on a Tuesday so I wanted to write a review. I ordered the Vietnamese Chicken Salad and a Thai Tea. The Chicken Salad was huge, so tall! It was very refreshing though since it was hot out and just what I was craving, comes with a lot of chicken mixed in and a little bit of peanuts on the side. The Thai Tea comes in a tall glass also and was surprisingly pretty sweet. My mom custom-made her own pho and my grandma got a fried rice dish - both servings huge. My mom also got Coconut Juice which had coconut pieces in it. The staff was extremely kind as well, being very attentive and helping my grandma box her leftovers. Great family friendly and family owned feel restaurant!

Just a small corner of seats, so I waited in the car. It took around 45 minutes for us to get seated, but after ordering, the food came out relatively quickly. This is now my go-to spot for galbijjim. I remember thinking right after we left the restaurant that night that I was already looking forward to our next visit. The rice cakes in there were chunky compared to most places, which made it a more enjoyable eat. It was my first time having sooyuk and I loved the cuts of meat in there, especially the tendon. I might just have to come here again on my next visit to SJ.

    interesting experience today…read more.. most of the pieces of meat in my galbi tang had way more cartilage than usual. i tried to cut it off but did not really help much as it was very chewy. noodles were also overcooked and supeeerrrr chewy. banchan sizes were really small, especially for 2 people. I am really surprised at the portion we received being way smaller compared to what i typically get when i doordash or order for take-out... and i order take-out from here every week or two! my friend got hounded for a tip in the parking lot after paying which was really off putting. at first they said they couldnt read what he wrote. then, when he clarified- she took about 5 minutes begging for a tip in the hot sun... the thing is- he didn't want to tip as we didn't receive any service at all. all they did was just take our order and give us our food. no check-ins during our meal. they took away our water before they even took our card to pay.... it all felt super rushed near the end. out of all the times I've had take-out from here, this dine-in experience missed the mark for us. debating on if it is worth it to come back. very disappointing as this was my friend's first time trying this place and he drove all the way from east bay!

Uzumakiya had beef broth, supposedly oxtail broth. It's lighter in consistency than the ramen broth. Tasted more meaty without being heavy or fatty. The noodles were thicker but not chewy. The chashu (pork) slices that came with it was tender with just enough fat to give it the umami flavor. The Tonkotsu Ramen had the thinner noodles. The broth was creamier and richer than the beef broth but not bold or complex compared to other ramen broths I've had but still has a nice balance of flavor between the pork and dashi. Had the same chashu slices. Had more umami flavor than the Udon. Love the Hojicha Panna Cotta. Very smooth consistency. I felt like I'm eating something fancy but not heavy. Combination of light roasted tea and milk flavor. Just the right amount of sweetness. Enjoyed this the most. They had a $3 discount on their Udon. Food came out quickly. Staff were welcoming.

They regularly checked in on us, kept our water and tea refilled, and made us feel well taken care of throughout our meal. When we packed our leftovers to go, they even offered to refill our soup container for us--now that's exceptional service! It's the little things like that that keep customers coming back. They're currently offering 10% off during the month of July to celebrate their 10-year anniversary, which makes it an even better time to visit. I'll definitely be back and look forward to continuing to support this wonderful local business.
