    Came by for lunch the other day and it was a decent experience. Parking was available in the private strip mall lot or on the surface lot next door. The interior of the restaurant is showing it's age. The condition of the dining room is sloppily painted and panels are falling off... The walls are also dirty from most likely soup stains... Opted for the bun bo hue and it was tasty. The broth was fragrant and full flavored. The noodles were perfectly al dente and the bowl came with a couple pieces of crab balls. There were also a couple pieces of beef shank as well as a pork trotter. This was topped off with some raw onions. Dining is available both indoors or outdoors. They apparently take cash or card. ~$22/head after tax and tip for lunch.

    bánh bèo (shrimp over rice cake with sauce)

    Vit Đồng Quê is a Vietnamese restaurant that specializes in duck dishes and other foods from Vietnam's central regions. I came here with my friend, my girlfriend, and her family, a party of 10, and we had a fantastic experience from start to finish. FOOD (10/10): We started with bánh bèo (shrimp over rice cake with sauce) to share as an appetizer, and it was so delicious. The rice cake was perfectly soft, and the fish sauce was sweet, light, and not overpowering. For my main dish, I had bún măng vịt (vermicelli noodle soup with giblets, duck meat, and bamboo shoots), and it was easily in my top two best bún măng vịt I have ever had. The broth was rich and flavorful, the duck meat was juicy and tender, and the ginger fish sauce for dipping added a fresh, fragrant kick that paired perfectly with the meat. Others in our group ordered dishes like mì vịt tiềm (egg noodle soup with duck and Chinese herbs). This dish has Chinese origins but became popular in Vietnam. I did not try it myself, but it looked amazing. SERVICE (10/10): The service here was excellent. The owner and staff were warm, attentive, and accommodating. My friend arrived late, and the staff allowed me to order his dish ahead of time. At one point, they accidentally brought it out too early. When they realized he would not arrive for another 10 minutes, they took the dish back and prepared a fresh, hot one for him when he got there. That extra thoughtfulness really stood out. AMBIANCE (8/10): The ambiance is simple, like a typical Asian restaurant, but clean and spacious. There was plenty of room for us to put a few tables together for our large group, which made dining as a party of 10 comfortable and easy. Overall, the food and service were both fantastic. If you love authentic Vietnamese flavors, especially duck dishes, I highly recommend Vit Đồng Quê. I will definitely be back the next time I am in San Jose.

    4/5: The ca phe sua da is pretty good. 3/5: Gỏi Vịt: The duck salad doesn't work for me. It was featured in the Chronicle's list of "Top salads in the Bay Area." It's poached duck. There is just not much flavor here, even after adding the dressing and dunking it into the sauce. It's also cross-cut butchered, with a thousand small bones that get in the way of eating it. 3/5: Porridge with gizzards is OK.

    Everything was cooked perfectly, especially the duck. The service was great. The lady helped us order the perfect items. I will definitely be back.

    TL;DR: - tight interior with fast service and delicious and juicy duck. Be forewarned, the teas are not complimentary nor worth the hassle, as they are just mediocre tea bags. parking: - this is located next door to Grand Century. the parking lot in front of the store is small but you could always park at Grand Century and walk over. wait time: - zero wait time. ambiance: - nothing impressive, but you're only here for the food anyways! service: - service is fast but it was definitely obvious that the female waiter was constantly trying to upsell us. food: [Worth It] - Banh Beo Chen: this came out warm and perfectly chewy. - Banh Bot Loc: another table please! yum! super chewy. - Goi Vit (duck salad): the duck was very juicy and tender! [Not Worth It] - tea: these are not free and they are not worth the extra dollar per cup. - chao (porridge): this came out under-seasoned and probably the worse porridge I've ever had. I would not recommend.

    Goi Vit (duck salad)
    Bellina C.

    This spot specializes in duck and they sure do a great job! I always get the Bun Mang Vit (vermicelli with duck meat, giblets, and bamboo shoots) and Goi Vit (duck salad)---both are consistently delicious! Their menu has a bunch of different combination options as well as different sizes for their duck salad. The sauce that comes with the salad is delicious---they know what they're doing with the nuoc cham! The interior is very similar to many of the other Vietnamese restaurants in San Jose. The aunties and uncles make you feel right at home. Service is efficient. The restaurant is located in a plaza with parking available.

    It's sooooo good. Huge portions and the duck is so tender, you'll wonder how they did it! Price is just right and if you eat in the afternoon, the door faces away from the sun so it's nice and cool inside without having to run AC. Take a moment to decide if you want more duck or veggies. The prices are about the same, but personally, I like more veggies. They're so fresh! You get a dipping fish sauce as well as a salad dressing one. Make sure you enjoy every last drop :) Btw, I tipped 15% and should've tipped more for service and food. There was a dude sitting here that was insufferably annoying. I regret not giving them more.

    Definitely one of the best go to in little Saigon. Their duck salad is legendary! We come here often when we want some comfort food.

    TL;DR: food is good and inexpensive, and the aunties and uncles who run this spot will help you out! I got curious about this place when hunting for a spot to try because I'd never seen a Vietnamese restaurant serve duck like this before. Chicken rice places are fairly common so I was intrigued, and the fact that many reviewers mentioned their delicious banh beo sealed the deal. The restaurant is located in one of the random corners near the giant plaza filled with Vietnamese restaurants and shops, so it was nice to stuff my face then go walk around to stave off food coma. The interior is pretty basic, and apart from the table seating, don't expect much else. The menu looks enormous but there are many combinations of similar things all listed so going through it is a little trying. When ordering, I started with banh beo, then as I was struggling through ordering the duck, the auntie running the restaurant just told me exactly what she was going to put in for me and that it would be good for two people. Why argue with an expert? English isn't their strong suit but pointing at the menu and gesturing works well. Most of the other customers seemed to be Vietnamese so they definitely have a steady clientele. Food: Banh beo: I love these little cups of rice cake! They were topped with the usual dried shrimp and some pork lard and were delicious with the fish sauce. Duck salad: what I came here for! This arrived looking like a mountain of food, there's an enormous pile of cabbage and herbs under the duck, and you pour this sauce over everything. I didn't bother tossing it, so we just attacked the salad which was very refreshing, loved the herbs and sauce, and the duck wasn't very gamey. It looked enormous but because there's a good amount of vegetables, it's not that hard to finish. Noodle soups: we got one with rice noodles and one with vermicelli. I believe they used the soup that they cooked the duck in for this so the soup itself was a little gamey, along with some of the giblets and other things they added to the soup. I thought this was fine but not a stand out item.

    Very delicious, good price. Thank you very much!

    We chose 1/2 duck with noodles. Taste is very good! Recommended this place for someone like a Vietnamese food!

    So many duck dishes! That's what we came here for on a Sunday evening. Half duck with rice on the side, and duck salad which came with soup. They serve some good vietnamese hainan style duck here, lots of meat, lots of flavor... and also lots of leftovers. Though we ordered for takeout, there was plenty of indoor seating in a clean and inviting space, and all of the employees were friendly and made us feel welcome from the moment we stepped inside the restaurant. To add to our positive experience, our order was ready in just 5-8 minutes, so we could head home and enjoy our delicious dinner without delay.

    Duck Egg Noddle Soup
    Ron D.

    First time to try this Viet restaurant located at the heart of Little Saigon. Restaurant specialized in duck and chicken soup and combo dishes. I wasn't even aware there such a thing for Vietnamese restaurants. At any rate , we tried the combo duck dish and soup and the chicken soup. And for appetizers we tried the shrimp dish. Appetizers was Awesome, first time to have that dish and it really great . Dried crunch shrimp on top of sticky pillowy rice cake . We Finished all 12 Little plates. The duck combo dish came with eggs noddle soup and duck salad. Same with the chicken. It was seasoned well , broth is clean , both to salty and greasy. It was one of the best Vietnamese soup we've ever had. A must try restaurant when in Little Saigon area.

Definitely larger portions and super affordable. We picked up the items 30 mins before our party started, and they were still fresh and crispy throughout the whole night!

Also ordering from them was very easy. I did it online a week in advance and they texted me at exactly 530p to let me know it was ready for pickup.

There are other places I can go as backups, but when I want the complete bánh cuốn meal, this is the place to go. Food (5 stars) + The Đặc Biệt is still the #1 order here. It's a huge plate and you get a little bit of everything: the plain rice rolls with shrimp sprinkled on top, bánh cuốn stuffed with meat, pork roll, egg roll, and their crispy fried shrimp cake. Everything complements each other perfectly. + The rice rolls are soft and fresh, and I especially like the ones stuffed with meat. Pour their sweet and savory fish sauce all over it and add some of the red chili peppers if you want some heat. Excellent! + Their fried items are also what separates this place from some of the others. The egg roll is crispy and the fried shrimp cake actually has a nice big shrimp on there. Even the slightly steamed bean sprouts and herbs work perfectly with everything else on the plate. + This time I ordered the smaller plate with just the meat-filled bánh cuốn instead of the Đặc Biệt. It's around $15 and is actually the perfect amount for me where I'm full but not overly stuffed. However, for only a couple bucks more, I'd still recommend the Đặc Biệt. You just get so much more food! Service/Ambiance (3.5-4 stars) + Service is pretty standard for a Vietnamese restaurant. They're not constantly coming around to refill your water, but if you raise your hand or flag someone down, they'll come over and help you. Nobody is looking the other way pretending they didn't see you! + The restaurant itself is pretty small inside, but they have a much larger outdoor seating area. We came during lunch and didn't have to wait long. + I brought my dog Marley so we sat outside. It was a warm day but there was enough airflow that it was actually pretty comfortable. - One strange thing I've noticed during my last two visits: the water has a slight soapy taste. Maybe that's proof they do an excellent job washing their cups, but they could probably use an extra rinse! This time I just brought my own water. 4 years after my original 5-star review, nothing has really changed for me. I've had plenty of bánh cuốn around the Bay Area and this is still the place I compare everyone else to. The service and ambiance might only be around 3.5-4 stars, but I'm not coming here for fancy service. I'm coming for bánh cuốn, and the food is still 5 stars!

We've probably eaten here 50+ times with family and friends, and one thing I can say is that they are 100% consistent. We've never had a bad meal here. There's a great variety of Vietnamese dishes, so everyone can usually find something they like. The chả cá (fish) is one of their popular dishes and a favorite. They also have good chicken phở, broken rice, vermicelli noodles, spring rolls, roll-your-own options, and plenty of soups beyond phở. You can order individual dishes or share family-style, which makes it especially easy when coming with a group. It's very casual, family-friendly, quick, and straightforward--nothing fancy and probably not where I'd choose for a date night. But for a dependable meal with family or friends, it's a great spot. Kids like it, parents like it, and my mom likes it--which says a lot coming from an older Vietnamese person who knows her Vietnamese food! The staff is always efficient and nice, and after all these years, the food remains consistently good. The biggest downside is parking. The entire shopping center has become so busy with restaurants that finding a spot can be overwhelming, especially during peak hours. Also, keep in mind they do not take credit cards. Bring cash, or you can pay electronically through options such as Zelle/Venmo. Overall, this is one of those longtime neighborhood restaurants we keep coming back to because we know exactly what we're going to get: good Vietnamese food, plenty of choices, friendly service, and consistency.
