My friends and I decided to come here before catching a movie down the street. We arrived around 6:30pm on a Friday evening and we were surprised it wasn't packed like it usually is. There was even plenty of parking. As soon as we sat down we were greeted and the server took out drink orders and we ordered our mains soon after. I ordered a Vietnamese iced coffee and it was very good. If you love strong iced coffee you'll like this. It does have condensed milk Incase your diary intolerant. What we ordered: #46 BBQ chicken and fried egg over rice- served with a small soup #59 Chow fun with stir fry vegetables Chicken pho with fish noodles Vegetable pho soup Vietnamese iced coffee All our food was good and so was the service. My bbq chicken plate did take a lot longer than I thought it would. After my friends received their mine come out much longer I even had to ask how much longer. I'm not sure if this is the norm for this dish but if you get the BBQ chicken dish, order it right away. Their food and service is good. I recommend their business! read more

I've been here plenty of times and this is a regular group favorite in the South Bay. This is located in a popular plaza, so there is plenty of parking BUT it does get filled pretty quickly since there are other great shops in the area as well. What I usually get (and would recommend): #36A and/or #36B. You can actually request to get half half for the same price, which is nice! The thien long stir fried beef and onions (36A) has a lot of flavor, and a TON of onions. If you're more hungry and want something a little heavier, I'd opt for this option! I also really like the grilled tumeric fish (36B), I haven't seen this offered anywhere else so I do like that this is a specialty. It is grilled with dill, which I think adds a nice burst of flavor. Both served with thin noodle and vegetables (additional $3 for rice paper, though). Service is quick, not much of an ambiance but you know that's when the food is good haha. CASH ONLY. They do have an ATM there, but best to come prepared. read more

Heads up it is cash only establishment but they also take Zelle. I thought it was worth it! We ordered the A1 fresh spring rolls with shrimp and it was refreshing and delicious! It was paired with a peanut sauce with added an extra kick of flavor. I ordered the #40 crispy chow fun w/ stir fried beef and vegetables and it was filling and savory! I also added some chili oil on top which made it taste even better. When you are done you pay at the counter and can pick up to go containers there as well. The space was neat and clean and the service was quick. They had a TV playing a football game that we were following so it was nice to have something to watch. It's a busy plaza but there's a lot of parking. I'd go back again :) read more

I've been here a few times with friends and coworkers. My wife had never been here but wanted to try out their specialties. 36B. Bún Chả Cá Lã Vọng: Grilled fish with thin noodles and vegetables (serves two persons). There was an additional charge for rice paper - which we did. This is a fun dish to make your own spring roll with noodles, asian herbs, vegetables (cucumbers, green leaf lettuce), and tumeric fish. It's a white fish, not sure if it's swai, rockcod, or tilapia. But lightly fried with a tumeric batter which is served on a sizzling serving tray with onions, fresh dill sprigs, and roasted peanuts. It is a nice touch, as it keeps your (already cooked) fish pieces hot/warm. But make sure to monitor it. Otherwise, it will burn everything. Ask your server to put out the flame when you are satisfied. The dish also comes with two dipping sauces - shrimp paste (mam tom) and mixed fish sauce (nuoc cham). 40. Phở Áp Chảo Bò Dòn: Crispy chow fun with stir-fried beef and vegetables. The first time I tried this, I didn't think it was flavorful at all. Tonight, I thought it had a good Asian traditional brown gravy sauce. The beef was tender, and the vegetables were cooked perfectly. The place was crowded and busy. The service was nice and friendly! read more

Thien Long continues to be one of my favorite and most consistent restaurants in San Jose. If you're looking for a Vietnamese Restaurant in San Jose to introduce friends and family to delicious Vietnamese food, take them here. There are so many yummy Vietnamese food dishes and options for everyone to choose from. What we ordered: Bánh Bột Chiên Trứng Chả Cá Lã Vọng Pad Thai Com Suon Bo Dai Hang The Bánh Bột Chiên Trứng and Chả Cá Lã Vọng are our go-to everytime we visit. For this visit we tried the Pad Thai to satisfy our Pad Thai cravings. It wasn't the best, but was loaded with protein and flavorful. I enjoy chewier rice noodles for my pad thai. My niece enjoyed her Com Suon Bo Dai Hang. The meat was tender, and it was a pretty hearty dish with rice and veggies. It's a cash-only restaurant so bring cash! read more

only tried the fried fish combo for 2. it was pretty good and i love the onions that were under the fish, added another layer of flavor in the rolls! i am personally not a fan of fried foods so for me it did feel a bit too much towards the end. but i would eat it again for sure and maybe try the steam fish one! read more

Got the turmeric fish and grilled beef combo. This is very filling and had a lot of flavor. Typically this is served for 2 people. There are so many options here! These 2 person combos seem to be very popular. It comes with a side of herbs and noodles. Definitely need to try this again! read more

Friends and I came for lunch and the large restaurant was pretty empty. They had about 5 parties but a bunch of seating was still available. No wait essentially, but the parking lot plaza was pretty full. We got seated and service was pretty quick. Pho takes 5-10min to come out, 15-20min for turmeric fish, 25min+ for com tam. 8/10 Turmeric Fish Special for 2 $32.95 - Fish had a very light cripsy batter exterior and mostly was super soft and flaky inside. Turmeric flavor was also light. Side of veggies was fresh, vermicelli was cooked not too soft (still had a bit firmness and bounce), and rice paper ($3 extra) was definitely not needed but we ordered 1 order and it was more than enough. Fish also came on a grill that kept the fish hot, but grab the onions from the bottom before they burn! 8/10 Com Tam Dac Biet $16.95 - Came with broken rice (standard texture that was not too soft/moist or hard/dry so they did it well), steamed egg (a good medium firmness but could use a bit more flavor, pork chop that was pretty thin but flavor was great, shrimp paste that was pretty crispy skin wrapped around juicy shrimp filling (bomb), and then shredded pork was meh. Overall, both dishes were good but was not really a wow. read more

If you happen to be in the area and craving some Chinese comfort food, this place is a good option. The restaurant is quite spacious, bright, and clean.

The portions are generous, so the prices are reasonable and justified. Be aware: this place is cash only. read more

Thien Long - Cha Ca La Vong - Grilled Turmeric Fish Spring Rolls - Vietnamese Near Me - San Jose, California

LOVE LOVE LOVE getting their fried turmeric fish spring rolls. Growing up, my family would always eat this dish, but the place we went to closed down. When I found out Thien Long also serves this dish, I knew I had to try them! I've had this place 3-4 times since and everyone I bring here seems to enjoy the food. Personally, I think getting the fish spring rolls are the best here. It's so delicious when you eat it with fish sauce too! I come here STRICTLY for the fish spring rolls, not for anything else. My dad has gotten Bun Bo Hue from here, but he thought it was okay. I've also had decent hot pot, but this isn't really the spot for that either. If you want to try Vietnamese cuisine that isn't Pho or Banh Mi, definitely give this place a try. read more

Thien Long - Vietnamese Near Me - San Jose, California

Thien long is one of those rare restaurants that does almost everything well. Pho good, banh xeo good (and ridiculously huge), fried rice good, rice plates , drinks and desserts all good. Of course, everyone orders the bun cha ca la vong, fried fish, pretty sure every table had it. Add the side of rice paper, makes it more fun. I love Vietnamese food. It's vibrant, fresh, healthy, delicious. And still reasonably priced. Servers were friendly and helpful. As good as the fried fish was, we might try grilled beef or grilled pork next time. Wish they were closer to West SJ. read more

Has their Bun Chan Ca La Vong (grilled fish with noodles). This came in a sizzling plate. The fish was lightly coated with what looked like fine bread crumbs, seasoned with pepper, salt and maybe some garlic seasoning from what I could taste. Thick fish tenders were moist and soft, perfectly cooked. The fish was on top of a bed of aromatics: onions, dill, green onions. Also topped with crispy fried garlic and peanuts. Served with nuoc mam and very strong fermented fish sauce and a plate of veggies and herbs. Got the rice paper for extra $3. Good portion for a reasonable price. Plenty of food by itself for 2 people. The pho was also good and good portion. Pho broth had more of the star anise flavor. Adding lemon and hoisin sauce mutes the anise flavor. Good fresh soft rare steak. Mango smoothies was also good and not overly sweet so it was refreshing. This restaurant takes cash or Zelle only. read more

I can't believe I have never written a review for Thien Long restaurant. I have been going here for more than 10 years, and pretty much everything on the menu is incredible. I think pretty much everything I have tried on the menu has so much flavor and feels like a home-cooked meal. Some of my favorite items include the shaken beef with red rice, the grilled fish with dill and DIY spring rolls, the fried radish cake with eggs, and also the bun cha Hanoi. The shaken beef is so tender and melts in your mouth. It's a hearty portion and will fill you up for sure. The grilled fish is perfect to share with a group of three people or more, and it's definitely fun if you order the diy spring rolls. If you order those on your next visit, you won't be disappointed. I have taken so many people here, and they absolutely loved the food every single time. The service here is typical of other Vietnamese restaurants where they'll take your order, and they won't show up again, LOL. But they are very nice and if you need something you can just raise your hand and they will come by. If you do go here, don't wear any nice clothes or anything that you don't want to smell. The smell of the many tables of ordering grilled fish will permeate your clothes a lot! I warned you, lol. read more

My new favorite pho place! As soon as you walk through the door, it smells mouthwatering. We were seated quickly and the service was quick, they brought our drinks and appetizers promptly and the pho shortly afterwards. I ordered A3 from the appetizers section, it's fried flour cake with egg! It was my first time trying it, but it did not disappoint. It was fluffy and paired with the sauce, I cannot even describe how delicious it was. For the pho, I ordered the #16 and it comes with fried beef! I had only tried pho with raw beef so this was an interesting yet yummy surprise. I will definitely be coming back to try more of their menu read more

The food was good! The Pho broth was very flavorful. The Banhxeo was quite crispy. The Pho Ap was also yum with soft beef. And the inside is pretty roomy. If you happen to be around, go here.

Overall: 4.5/5 (dine in) We came here for Mother's Day dinner around 6 PM and it was crowded. We had to wait about 20 minutes before we were seated. The service is a bit slower, & the workers had a bit of an attitude. Pho Ap Chao Bo Don - Crispy Chow Fun With Stir Fried Beef & Vegetables ($16.50): This looks great in picture & in presentation but the taste is mid. The big blocks are pho are fried flat rice noodles. They don't have any flavor ready. The sauce is also mild and just not something I enjoy. Beef was okay too. Bun Cha Ca La Vong - Grilled Fish With Thin Noodle & Vegetables ($32.95): This is meant for 2 people to share; my mom & I shared and we still had leftover. This is our go-to item whenever we come here. The fish was as good as always - the pieces were big, soft, and tasty. I wish they gave a little bit more noodles. We didn't think there was enough so we were mostly just eating the fish with the vegetables. Bun Cha Ha Noi - BBQ Pork & Pork Patties With Thin Noodle ($16.25): The BBQ pork was good but the pork patties were just okay. Gao Viet Kitchen's Bun Cha Co Linh is way better. Banh Bot Chien Trung - Fried Flour Cake With Egg ($11.25): This is also another go-to item whenever we come here. They make the flour cake so crispy. Love the flavors for this appetizer. read more

My friend and I celebrated a milestone of our friendship, and a great way was getting pho for a windy day. There may not be parking in the plaza but there's ample street parking or you can park at target and cross the street to reach the restaurant. We arrived on at 7:30 pm a Wednesday evening and we were seated immediately. The place is homey but innovative with its aesthetic decor and bright lights. It's a great place to dine in since everyone is enjoying the quality food of the establishment. NOTE: They accept cash only, and have an ATM inside in case you only brought your credit card. Service was quick and efficient with the pho and spring rolls delivered within 10 minutes of ordering. The spring rolls were delicious, with lots of shrimp and pork inside. The peanut sauce was top quality that was smooth and creamy. The pho was top tier with its translucent broth and tender slices of pork. Nice additives of spring onion, warm bean sprouts, and jalapeños. Great pho place in east San Jose! read more

Solid. 2.5/5 stars rounded up. Yummy fried fish - guessing it's basa/swai fish. The fish itself with the dill and fried onion/shallots topping has great flavors. Fish is cooked okay, on the done side but not yet dry. The accompaniment (noodles, veggies, fish sauce) and added cost rice paper, left a lot to be desired. It's simple after all, just doesn't really stand out. You can pay with Zelle or cash. read more

Key points: - Decent Bun Rieu - they don't accept credit card The Mrs. and I decided to try Thien Long in San Jose because we were craving some bun rieu, a dish we don't usually get from our folks. This visit happened before The Little One was born. We were in the area to pick up an order from a local store, so we decided to order takeout. After checking out the popular items on Yelp, we placed our order by phone. However, to my dismay, I was informed after arriving to the restaurant to pick up my order that they didn't accept credit cards. I didn't have cash on me, so I had to run to the ATM. This detour took quite a while, and by the time we got home to Oakland, our food was cold. It was still halfway decent, but nothing special. The restaurant itself appeared clean and casual. Nothing fancy. I feel the experience might have been better if they accepted credit cards, allowing us to eat sooner. Unfortunately, based on the other recent Yelp reviews, it looks like they still don't, which is quite rare for such a popular restaurant. This has deterred us from eating here recently, especially since we were in a bit of a time crunch and I didn't have the time to stop by an ATM again. I hope to give them another try in the future, but we shall see. read more

We came near closing before the last call and we were seated quickly. We knew exactly what we wanted so we ordered quick. The grilled fish here is always a good choice. Comes out piping hot with noodles and veggies to wrap in rice papers (extra $3). Unpopular opinion but I really like dipping my rolls in their shrimp paste sauce. The fish sauce is a classic but the shrimp sauce is definitely an acquired taste. The bun rieu oc came with a lot of periwinkle however, the flavor was a bit weak. Definitely remember to add the shrimp paste and chili it comes with for a more flavorful experience. Not pictured but we also got the salted fish fried rice which could have used more salted fish and the fried wonton. read more

Mmmm finally tried the cha ca la vong (menu item #36B) based on recommendations from friends! I was definitely surprised by how much food came out and how full the table was from this 1 order haha, definitely enough food for 2 average sized adults! We ended up having a little leftovers too. The cha ca la vong came with so many plates of ingredients including noodles, greens (lettuce, herbs, cucumbers), rice paper, rice cracker, sauces, and the main item, the crispy tumeric fish over cooked onions, green onions, and dill. It was fun to make your own rolls with the rice paper, kind of like cooking your own meat at korean BBQ. The food was tasty and you can add the combination of ingredients that you like which is great if you come with picky eaters haha. If you have never used rice paper before, it might take some time and practice to get a good roll, just remember not to overwater or wet the rice paper! I would definitely come here again to try the cha ca la vong again. However, I wish the tables were a bit bigger, literally the entire table is full from 1 order of the cha ca la vong! I almost forget, also tried the Vietnamese iced coffee, definitely got my caffeine jolt from that! read more

One of my favorite Vietnamese spots in San Jose! CASH ONLY This place is decent size, not too big not too small. If there is a line and long wait just know they have a clipboard hanging right next the door to sign your name and party size. They'll call your name once they have a table ready. If there is no waiting line, just hang by the entrance inside and one of the workers will take you to a table. We always start off with their fried flour with egg or the Vietnamese pancake with shrimp pork and bean sprouts. You can't go wrong with either or! If we're here for soup, it's either beef stew with rice noodles, large combination pho, or spicy & sour seafood noodle soup. If we're not here for soup then we get #36B Special Combos for 2! This is a must try experience! It includes grilled fish, onions green onions and peanuts on a grill, rice paper, bowl of water for rice paper, rice noodles, cucumber, mint, lettuce. You dip your rice paper to soften it and place it on your plate. Then you start placing in all the ingredients and roll it up into a fresh spring roll! 10/10 We love coming here to eat and would definitely recommend this place to anyone willing to give it a try! read more

I think I crave this place like twice every week I'm not even kidding. The workers are very kind and sweet, the food is absolutely delicious, satisfying, and fulfilling. The Cha Ca La Vong is top 1 for me here, as for everybody else that loves this place. If you're not a local and in-town for vacation or visiting, I highly suggest you give this place a try. If you're not a fan of fish, they have a diverse menu with dishes that will never leave your mind, even when you leave the restaurant. read more

This place makes the best cha ca la vuong aka grilled fish. This place and dish's popularity has made other South Bay restaurants try to recreate their version. This place still makes the best, so don't waste time trying other places. The fish is marinated and deep-fried in a light batter. When they bring it to your table, the fish is on a hot grill with dill, onions, and peanuts. The dish starts to still as the onions and peanuts begin to carmelize. Mixing the dish every few minutes prevents the onions and dill from burning. The dish comes with vermicelli noodles, fresh veggies, shrimp paste sauce or fish sauce. I only ask for the fish sauce since the shrimp paste sauce is pungent. I also order rice paper for $3 more to make spring rolls out of them. The food is always consistent, and I'm never left disappointed. The downside is that this place is cash-only, and its parking lot is a hot mess. I read more

Thien Long - cha ca la vuong - Vietnamese Near Me - San Jose, California

We usually come here just to get the grilled fish (cha ca la vong), and have had great experiences. We decided to bring some friends here tonight to share the experience, and they really enjoyed the food. This place really hits the spot, but unfortunately, our visit left a sour taste in our mouth despite the food being delicious. While most of the staff we interacted with were helpful, one of the staff (female, younger and wearing glasses) was unbelievably rude. From making sarcastic comments and interrupting us (with said sarcasm) while we were asking questions, to a lack of basic service, e.g. filling water cups when empty, it dampened our positive memories of this restaurant. Also, this place is cash only... so bring enough. There is an ATM on site. Parking can also be challenging on weekends during peak hours. read more

Thien Long serves bun cha ca la vong - crispy grilled turmeric fish over a bed of green and white onions and dill with a side of vermicelli noodles, rice crackers, a variety of veggies, and dipping sauce! You can make your own vermicelli bowl or order rice paper (for an extra cost) and make your own spring rolls!! I love both options and this is definitely a portion for 2-3 ppl. We have dined in and done take out for the fish and have enjoyed it both times. They package everything nicely for you when you do take-out. Only thing is I wish they would put the steaming hot fish in a different container as it doesn't seem safe to put it in a clear plastic container. Make sure to keep your receipt if you order take out as they get so many orders and may get confused! Parking lot in this plaza can get a bit crowded and busy. read more

Food is 5 stars. Especially the turmeric fish with dill. I also like their massive vermicelli bowls and the egg flour pancake appetizer (comes with a sweet vinegar sauce). Service is 3 stars. I sat what seemed like 10 minutes waiting for someone to come take my order. They weren't even that busy and three employees were just standing around in the back. Establishment is not the cleanest. They have togo boxes that you can grab yourself on a table in the back. Cash only!!! read more

What a fun meal! There aren't a lot of Vietnamese restaurants in the bay area that does turmeric fish (cha ca la vong) $33 like Thien Long. It smells great if you let it sit for a bit and let the little fire under the metal plate sizzle the dill and onions table side. You can wrap your own spring rolls (+$3 for rice paper) like Anh Hong in San Francisco. It does come with big pieces of leaf lettuce so the rice paper is not necessary. I liked how it comes with a piece of rice cracker you can put inside the spring roll. The yellow spice turmeric is great for burning fat tissues. But since the fish is fried, it negates the health benefits of this meal. On a side note, we had their seafood crispy egg noodles $16.50 as an appetizer. This was good. I wouldn't come here especially for their crispy noodles. Service was excellent. read more

The Cha Ca La Vong is LEGIT. When you walk in, you'll see every table has a hot plate with a mound of golden crusted fish. The origins of this underrated Vietnamese staple is hotly contested (I personally think it's called Cha Ca Thang Long) but the flavors are unmistakable. I love the plentiful amounts of caramelized onion and dill on the bottom, topped with turmeric lacquered fish. To eat, make a bowl with vermicelli noodles, peanuts, rice cracker bits, herbs/lettuce, and the sweet-sour fish sauce to your taste. The three bean dessert was excellent - coconut milk with three different sweet beans is almost like a Vietnamese halo halo. A side of che bau mau was exactly the flavors of my childhood, so Thien Long really hit the spot. The food was so nostalgic! read more

Honestly didnt know what to expect going in but ended up being really happy with the whole visit, right when we walked in we were greeted with a warm smile and seated quickly which set the tone for a comfortable meal, the food was simple but super well done and tasted like they really pay attention to details in the kitchen, seasoning was just right and portion sizes were fair too, not too small not too much, just felt like they know what theyre doing back there, I really appreciated how the staff didnt hover but were still around when we needed something and always polite without being fake, sometimes that makes a big difference, the atmosphere was chill enough to enjoy conversation and even though there were other tables around it didnt feel crowded or loud, I can see this becoming one of those go to spots for a regular good meal without all the fuss. read more
