- spacious, modern, clean interior - the menu is huge with so much variety! I wanted to try their banh xeo which you need to wait a little longer for - it's a huge portion with an entire plate of herbs and veggies and a bowl of fish sauce - this was yummy and satisfied my craving! It was crunchy, fresh, and fun to build a bite - the dry noodle was delicious as well! Shrimp was so crunchy yet juicy and fresh - I'd definitely come back for these two dishes! read more

Super disappointed by their lack of transparency when paying for my meal. They tacked on a service fee without telling the customer at the checkout counter leading customers to inadvertently double tip without knowing. A $40 meal turn into close to $60. I might as well order via DoorDash at this point. What a scam! read more

Came by for lunch the other day and it was a decent experience. Parking is available in the private strip mall lot. Dining is available in the original indoor dining room or in the newly expanded dining room next door. Air conditioning was on the day of my dining although it was quite weak...making it slightly uncomfortable. Started off with the steamed rice roll with grilled bbq pork. The rolls were gigantic as well as quite price at ~$18 a dish. Moved on to the vermicelli squres with the grilled beef that was served on a large plate to wrap table side. Portions are also gigantic and perfect for sharing. They offer a points system via FiveStars to get free food after a certain dollar amount of spend. As of 6/10, cash and credit card are now the same price. Service by the uniformed staff was efficient. The vibes from the Gen Z cashier were lit. read more

I ordered the shrimp vermicelli wraps and tried some of my party's banh xeo/banh cuon! Everything was great but if you need a lot of food/protein I'd order something else other than the shrimp. Their banh beo is also on the thicker side of ones I've tried read more

Tay Ho - Vietnamese Near Me - Santa Clara, California

My favorite Vietnamese spot in the Santa Clara area! When I first moved here, I was searching for great Vietnamese food that didn't require a drive to San Jose, and I'm so glad I found Tay Ho. The owner (who I always see there) is incredibly kind and welcoming, and the food is amazing. That says a lot because I grew up eating the best homemade Vietnamese food from my mom, and Tay Ho truly holds its own. A must-try if you're craving authentic Vietnamese flavors! read more

Tay Ho is always filled with customers for good reason. The quality of their food and ample selection makes for a good spot, especially during a weekday afternoon lunch. Banh Xeo: I appreciated the display and aesthetic of the dish, although I wish that there was slightly more pork. The dish still tasted great, with its fresh vegetables as a side. Fried Chicken with Rice: This dish was simple and had a generous portion size for its price. I loved the tenderness of the chicken & how crispy it was. read more

Food is spot on. Service is great. Better than a lot of other Vietnamese pieces. We got to-go and they were really attentive in updating us and checking if we were waiting. The space is super clean. Really well-kept. Portions are great. Their rice plater could use better đồ chua. Their bánh cuốn was a star. Really welcoming and exciting to eat. read more

This was my go-to Vietnamese spot before I stopped eating meat. The V8. Banh Cuon Tay Ho Chay (Vegetarian Tay Ho Combination) is a really good option for non-meat eaters. There are lots of different items included, so you can figure out which you like best. The tofu is kind of bland, but the vegetarian sauce included is amazing, I could drink it. I usually dip the tofu in the sauce, wrap it in rice paper with cucumber, and bean sprouts, and dip the rolls into more sauce. The presentation of the packaging for to-go orders is a very nice touch! I love the branding and overall look of it. read more

Tay Ho - V8. Banh Cuon Tay Ho Chay - Vietnamese Near Me - Santa Clara, California

It's been a few years since I've been back here. In town for work and no more group dinner. Wanted a quiet evening enjoying Vietnamese food. Not a fan of the parking lot but doable. Went in and he walked me to a table in anew section to the right side. The last time I was here, this section did not exist as it was a separate store. Looks like Tay Ho bought the store next door and the. Knocked down the wall and expanded their restaurant. The whole restaurant is pretty big now A nice selection of items. Food was good. Not great but doable and as there are not of Vietnamese restaurants in the area, this works well. Service was great. Food came out so timely without much wait. Enjoyed my quiet meal tonight. read more

Decided to try something new in the area and can't believe I haven't been here before. Been on the hunt for some good banh canh with light broth and not the thick kind, and it was a delight!! I loved my soup, perfect portion size and flavorful. Not too salty, a bit on the sweeter side. Bun Bo hue was decent, broth is a little lighter than I preferred, not too oily, good flavor! We were so full from our noodles we struggled finishing the banh cuon. Fast service, loved the bell you could ring for quicker service, very nice and modern interior. Everything is very updated, plenty of space and light. read more

Tay Ho - A8. Banh Beo and B1. Banh Cuon Tay Ho Dac Biet - Vietnamese Near Me - Santa Clara, California

Stopped in for quick lunch and was pretty happy to find a good Vietnamese spot in the area! Now I don't need to drive to east SJ every time I have a craving. Their nem cuon was super tasty! I have no notes but the pork was flavorful and the dipping sauce it came with was also delicious. Their bun bo hue wasn't bad either, the meat portion were generous but I kinda wish they gave more noodles. The noodles were bouncy and chewy, which were my fave part of the BBH! The soup could have had a bit more spice/flavor to it, but it's nothing a bit of fish sauce/jalapeno can't fix. A small detail I liked was the cabbage being very finely shredded -- that way the cabbage didn't take over the soup and softened up nicely. We also really enjoyed the pork chop rice plate too. Overall I'd definitely come back! Didn't get a chance to try the banh xeo but I'm getting it next time for sure. The service was alright, they took a while to come take our order but they have a little button to call if you need anything and that worked well for us. read more

Wanted to get Vietnamese food in Santa Clara instead of driving to SJ and found this place in yelp. As soon as I walked in I smelled the pho and saw a lot of Asians so I knew it would be good. I ended up getting the bo la loc. It came with a generous amount of veggies and rice paper to make spring rolls. My friend got the bun thit nuong and really liked it. They have a big jar of nuoc mam on the side. The sambal was pretty good too. Wanted to try the banh xeo. Will have to come back next time read more

I've introduced a few people to this restaurant and they've all enjoyed it! A great introductory to Vietnamese cuisine with something for everyone. I tried their vegetarian banh xeo, which was a unique take from the usual crepe shape that I'm used to. Tasty filling and crispy shell. I also tried their egg soda for the first time and it was delicious. If you like egg coffee or custard, then you'll enjoy this creamy drink. We also got their vegetarian vermicelli noodle bowl and that was also a hit. read more

I haven't been impressed the past few times I've gone and feel like the flavors aren't as good anymore. The most recent time I went with my friend and she got the OJ and asked for no ice. They brought it out with ice and she asked for it to be removed and they came back with the cup half full. Feels ridiculous to pay $6.50 for a half full cup of OJ. read more

Tay Ho - $6.50 for a half cup of OJ - Vietnamese Near Me - Santa Clara, California

Banh Xeo looks great but I was a bit disappointed with the taste. It's kind of grease. I have had it at many other restaurants though they folded up the pancake so they do not look as attractive but kept the ingredients inside hot which makes them more tasty. The server kept rushing us even though we told them we wanted to start with the Banh Xeo and take time to decide on what else to order. Don't find them to be particular good compare to the many other choices of Vietnamese restaurants in the Bay Area. read more

Came here for lunch because I was craving Vietnamese food and didn't want to bother my parents in making it for me lol Tay Ho stood out to me because they had banh uot and che. The inside is huge with two sections separated by an archway. Not sure if they do hot pot but their tables are definitely set up for it if they ever add it to the menu lol For a late lunchtime on a Saturday, it was really busy. Luckily we were seated right away. We ordered: P8 - Filet and brisket pho; the SO said the broth tasted a bit lighter and sweeter than he liked. He liked that there was a good portion of meat. B1 - Banh cuon dac biet; this was A LOT of food and satisfied my craving. The nuoc mam and chili paste (super spicy) were really tasty. Mango smoothie - SO liked that there were little mango chunks in this Durian dream che - This was sooo good. I am so sad that I dropped most of it on the ground though. Service is OK. We get our waters, but never got them refilled. After our meal, you pay at the counter. I am definitely going to come back to get another Durian Dream and to try their banh xeo! read more

I love variety and that's when come to Tay Ho. I almost always get the dac biet rice flour special with all the sides to go with the flour sheets. There are so many textures and each bite is never boring. Even though everything is soaked in fish the flavors come together. read more

Another instance where I wish Yelp had a half star system in addition to the whole stars. Frankly, after coming back here off and on for many years, Tay Ho is a solid 3.5+ stars in my humble opinion. I can get slightly better and slightly cheaper Vietnamese food in South San Jose but it is not in Santa Clara, which is closer to where I usually am. My favorite dish is their Rice dish with BBQ pork. I almost always order this dish. I also hear their Bun Bo Hue is excellent and actually has blood, which is what someone intimately familiar with this noodle soup would expect. Service has been solid over the years, and it looks like they have actually expanded into the physical space that was adjacent to the right side of their original space. Parking is shared in this good sized strip mall location on El Camino, so this should not be a challenge regardless of when you choose to dine here. read more

This is one of my favorite Vietnamese spots and I'm very fortunate to live within walking distance. Service is always fast and the food comes out fresh. I've had their pho and it's excellent, but I think the star of their menu is their grilled pork. It's so tender and flavorful and it pairs perfectly with rice, or even better, in a vermicelli bowl with their egg rolls. The combination of the savory pork, fresh veggies, and their home made fish sauce with chili pasta is unmatched. This is the best Vietnamese food you'll find in the area outside of east San Jose. read more

I really like this place! The broth was some of the best I've had. I wish they had different portion sizes like regular and large but overall the portion was good! I got P1 with filet mignon and it came very fast. Will definitely come here again. read more

Beyond Pho This places has decent pho, don't get me wrong but their other offerings are way better. Their food is fresh and service is fast. Prices are very reasonable Bahn Xeo - This was my fav. Crispy egg crepes loaded with shrimp and pork. Comes out hot with plenty of fresh veggies. Was technically an appetizer but felt like an entree Banh Cuon Tay Ho Dac Biet - Probs my second fav. So good. Rice noodle sheets with tons off toppings, including cold cuts, mung bean fritter, and sweet potato fritters. Very big portion, loved the variety Bun Tom Thit Nuoung - Tender pork and shrimp over vermicelli noodles Pho - Flavorful broth and tender meat. Not the biggest portion but more than enough for one person. I really liked their fresh noodles, but it does cost extra unfortunately Imperial Rolls - Standard egg rolls haha. I still enjoyed them however, came out crispy and hot read more

I'd ordered takeout from here 4 times but stopped in for the first time with my mom. * Staff was quick to seat us & take our order. Food arrived within 15min or so of our order. * Restaurant: 2 spacious rooms, plenty of tables. 1 room's tables were equipped with hot plates and exhaust fans, as though the previous restaurant may have been a different concept. * Food: We tried the shrimp fried rice and Pho Chay, unfortunately the dishes were not memorable. The pho used to be more flavorful in the past and the fried rice was not tasty enough to finish. $56 for three dishes and a hot tea. I might try Tay Ho again for other dishes, but I would try other places for pho and fried rice in the future. read more

I was super excited to try this place based on reviews and the constant amount of people I would see going here. Unfortunately it wasn't anything special like I expected. The service was okay and the place used to be some sort of old hot pot place? The only thing I would say was great was that they do carry a very extensive menu and have a lot of vegetarian options. I will stick to my places on the East Side. The flavor of the food itself was a miss for me :( read more

B1 combination flour sheet plate 5/5 Love all the different textures on this plate with my favorite being the shrimp rice roll and yam fritters Banh xeo 3.5/5 Very crispy with a distinct coconut taste. Note that it takes about 15 minutes to make. Feel like they could've given more lettuce! P1 Pho tai filet mignon 4.5/5 Decent pho with tender slices of filet mignon. Opt for the fresh noodles!

The restaurant was very spacious, and it seemed like they had expanded the floor plan - the other section felt more modern with the walls and floors. The service was great, and we really appreciated that they seated us even though we were still waiting for the rest of our party. I ordered the pork and egg roll vermicelli, and it was amazing. I asked for fewer noodles and more vegetables, though the noodle portion still felt a bit large. That said, the vegetables were fresh, the egg rolls were perfectly crunchy, and the lemongrass marinated pork was grilled just right. Everything was topped with fish sauce and it was absolutely delightful. read more

One of my favorite Bun Bo Hues I've had! South Bay never disappoints when it comes to vietnamese food! This was literally utmost comfort in a bowl, from the perfectly seasoned broth, copious amounts of meat, to chewy rice noodles, I saw no flaws. Cabbage, sprouts, jalapeño were all fresh. My boyfriend's pho was just as tasty. Let's just say our bowls were completely empty by the end of the meal. I definitely want to come back for their other dishes. The place has TONS of seating and is nicely decorated. The biggest negative is the lack of service, but everything screams authentic. Really just enjoyed the food a lot and want to be back already! read more

Tay Ho - N1. Bun Bo Hue ($15.50) - Vietnamese Near Me - Santa Clara, California

If you're looking for Vietnamese comfort food, everything from pho to vermicelli to rolls, Tay Ho is the place to go. It's a popular spot for people to socialize over bowls of pho and for families to share a plate of rolls. The restaurant was busy with people eating dinner. Chopsticks and silverware clinked against plates and bowls; the air was alive with chatter. After I was seated and was served a glass of water, I got the grilled pork broken rice plate (com tam). It wasn't too long before my food arrived. I loved the presentation. The rice was shaped into a tidy mound and garnished with green onion. A sprinkling of fried onion sat next to a slice of egg and meat cake. The vegetables and pork were arranged nicely, and a bowl of fish sauce completed the plate. On the side came a bowl of soup with green onion. The food was delicious! Fluffy rice and tender, juicy pork made me smile. I enjoyed the light bites of egg cake and the crispy crunch of the lettuce, carrots, onion, and cucumber. The fish sauce added a sweet, savory, tangy element to the dish. The bowl of soup on the side cleansed the tongue. I enjoyed this meal at Tay Ho. It was comforting, filling, and light. I'll be back for more. read more

Review #009 - 2025 I don't normally go out of my way to write a review if the restaurant doesn't deserve either a really good review or a really bad review. This location is just ok in comparison to the location in Sacramento. I ordered the B2. Banh cuon with ground pork and fried sweet potatoes. I gave the ham to my brother-in-law since I don't really care for them too much. The fried sweet potatoes were the best thing on this plate. The banh cuon was mostly flour. Hardly any ground pork or mushrooms in the filling. My daughter's beef ball pho was just ok. The broth was extremely sweet for Vietnamese pho. If she was willing to eat something else, I would avoid ordering pho at this place. Service was also just ok! Would I go out of my way to return? Most likely not! read more

Lots of parking and seats. Pennyworth with mungbean was refreshing but their Vietnamese coffee had a very (vanilla?) aftertaste which I did not like. I did like that they had them in to go cups to make things easier. Water provided was lemon water. We wanted bun bo hue but it was sold out! At 11 AM... I got the bun rieu and my friend got the pho tai. Pho broth was definitely on the fatty and sweet side. It wasn't bad but not great. They gave a lot of soup. The meat wasn't what I'm used to. It was more of a pho tai chin to me (not rare, well done). The bun rieu was decent, it could have been a little more sour IMO but the pork blood was actually good even though I'm not a fan. I did enjoy it. Veggies for both dishes were fresh. Our drinks took a while to come out. We were halfway done eating when they arrived. Fast service so we were in and out within 45 min or so. read more

Was craving the rice flour rolls and a friend recommended this place. Loved the combo plate for my first visit so I could figure out what I'd want to get next time. The rice flour noodles were fresh and soft and I loved the mixture of different things to try. Gave it a 4/5. Hubs ordered the P12 which was the equivalent of a no 1 at other places hahahahah. The broth was rich and deep. The meats were soft. My only complaint was the noodles didn't have that nice chewy bounce to it. He says we could have paid $1.50 extra for "fresh" noodles but that seems like a rip. You should just serve it with fresh noodles! The service was fairly attentive given it was a busy lunch crowed . Boy was it noisy when we walked in but after 1pm the place died down and we didn't have to yell to hear each other talk. Love the music tho! Would come back to get noodles and maybe we'll splurge and spend the $1.50 to see if it makes a difference! read more

We usually head straight to Saigon Town whenever we're craving authentic Banh Cuon, but I recently discovered that Tay Ho serves it too, and it definitely didn't disappoint. Finding a spot that rivals our usual go-to was a great surprise. Everything we ordered was a hit. The Banh Tom Chien Khoai was so good, with a perfect crunch, and the Bun Rieu was equally impressive and full of flavor. On top of the food being good, the restaurant itself is very clean, and the staff are genuinely helpful and approachable. It's a solid, welcoming spot that's officially earned a place in our rotation. read more
