    Pork noodle bowl. $13.95
    Frank L.

    Alrighty...! It's been ten years since I last ate here and left a review lol oh how times have changed but surprisingly this place has stood the test of time... Many restaurants have come n go in that plaza I can attest to that. Okkk so I gave em a pretty crap review in 2014. I think from memory they more or less taste the same but there's diff circumstances in play now. Particularly value... My main complaint before was that at traditional Viet restos it basically cost the same for the comparable dish except in fact you get more cause you get the other trad toppings like the egg roll, shredded pork skin, egg loaf etc... But now vn grill is about a solid 1-3 bux less so the pricing makes more sense now especially if you don't need any of the other frills and just want basic bowl of carb, meat, veggies. I will say I don't think the pork tastes as good as in some traditional restaurants maybe cause it's made to order so the protein is still hot but it's still solid. Overall, had a solid experience. I feel like the restaurant provides solid value now. Also, I think if they were smart they should have an option for extra protein at like $3.5 or allow half n half bowls like chipotle. Would be cool to update the sauces as well I don't think they've changed since 2014

    Same taste even after 10years! Thoroughly enjoyed my tofu bowl, so flavorful!Everything seems very fresh. Exactly like the owner describes the dishes as traditionally modern!

    Always get the shrimp and pork bowl with the VN sauce! A healthy and tasty option to get in the bay area! Good for takeout!

    Okay, I remember liking this place, but I don't super remember why, and alarmingly, it's not because I was 34 beers deep :-O This is indeed alarming - why would I be out and about and not 34 beers deep...? Let us get to the bottom of this! Now, I remember this being a weekday, because I was dressed appropriately enough for people to think that I was employed. It's not my fault that looking homeless also means living in comfort. My loss - all the more suits and ties for you bozos! Now, this doesn't disqualify the beers, because working WUI is really the only way to get through work. Man, remember the days when we were all working remotely and we weren't turning on our cameras?! Wooooowiiiieee!! Um, anway, I think the food was pretty good. Probably be back, cuz it's right across from my place and I am laaaazzzzyyyyyyy.

    Thank you Ann for showing me the kids sized bowls!

    Get food that's super fast and easy to to-go I love how they have a small menu and it's super fast to pick out what you don't and do want.

    Chicken Bowl
    Emily W.

    Yes, I came back to Vn Grill. Their bowls are so tasty but I probably like the pork one the best now! The restaurant is very clean and the food comes out fast. There's enough for me to have a small lunch the next day as well!

    Parking here can be challenging since it's located in a plaza with City Sports. If you're looking for a quick meal, this place is like a Vietnamese version of Chipotle. You customize your bowl to your liking. You choose your base, protein, veggies and finish it off with sauce. The order was quick and easy. I went with the rice noodles, beef, all the vegetables and the VN sauce and lime soy vinaigrette. The ingredients were fresh and tasty.

    Came here for lunch. Good spot to have lunch a bit pricey. A meal and a drink around $20 per person. You can create your own bowl. Which is nice. Small dining area, lot of parking outside.

    Pork Bowl
    Eric H.

    This place is like a Viet Chipotle. Great for light meals and the portion is generous so you can save some for later. You build your own bowl with choice of base, meat, veggies, and sauce. I got the rice noodle bowl with pork and all the veggies except jalapeño and vn fish sauce. I love the flavor and texture of the grilled pork and the sauce goes great with the rice noodles. I also got their shrimp rolls and they were alright. A bit too much veggies inside for my liking and I thought the shrimp was kinda small.

    Hanh T.

    The spring rolls should be an example of how it truly should be. So fresh and equal amounts of veggies noodles and your choice of protein . Everything was so good and fresh . The fries were so delicious that umami flavors .

    Shrimp Spring Rolls
    Rachel K.

    I stopped in for lunch and order a pork noodle bowl with a side of shrimp spring rolls. All the ingredients were so fresh and tasty! Food came out extremely quickly and service was great :)

    Lemongrass Chicken
    Christine L.

    It's like Vietnamese fast food but tasty and fresh! Order your selection and seat yourself. I got the lemongrass chicken which was cooked perfectly and not overly salted. It was interesting to have this with brown rice as I'm used to eating it with rice noodles. Reminds me of like a Vietnamese chipotle and I wish there were more of these! Food came out fast and ingredients tasted fresh. One restroom for customers, self service water. Lots of tables.

    Chicken Bowl and Beef Bowl
    Wendy F.

    Been coming to Vn Grill for a couple of years now and I've never been disappointed. Food is always really refreshing and the sauce is really delicious. Staff there is always so welcoming and friendly and always have a smile on their faces. Inside the restaurant is really clean and has lots of places to sit. I would recommend coming in here to try some awesome food!

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.

I appreciated the comfortable space, cleanliness, friendly staff, and variety on the menu. I'd be open to coming back and trying something different next time.

After an expansion of the restaurant they finally have banh mi on the menu and it was worth the wait. First, the foundation of a good Vietnamese sandwich is the bread, and it did not disappoint. The outside was crusty and flaky - definitely going to have crumbs everywhere when you eat this. The bread was warm and the inside was soft, but they also hollowed out the bread to make more room for fillings. I had the bbq pork which is my go to for their bun (vermicelli rice noodle) and it's just as great here. Grilled, a bit sweet, a bit savory, and a hint of smokiness makes it the perfect match to balance the freshly pickled vegetables and pairs well with the cilantro and jalapeño. They used a minimal but sufficient amount of mayo and I don't like pate so I asked for that to be skipped. Don't come after me

They also expanded the menu and pretty much hit every Vietnamese staple you could think of. Tay Ho has always been known for their banh cuon, but the uncle told me they wanted to bring more Vietnamese options to the area for people who can't always make the drive down to SJ. I appreciate that as someone always wants Vietnamese food. The banh cuon hits as expected. We also tried the banh beo, and unfortunately that one was a miss for us. It looked promising, but the batter was a little too thick and the ratio of batter to toppings wasn't ideal. The table next to us got the banh xeo though, and that looked so gooddd. I'm getting that next time. Tay Ho, whether Santa Clara or SJ, is always in my rotation. Happy to see the Santa Clara location expanding and offering even more options!

The standout dish was the egg rolls. They arrived hot, golden brown, and perfectly crisp, with a satisfying crunch and a flavorful filling that made them the best part of the meal. The food, however, wasn't the reason for my rating. The restaurant's cleanliness left me concerned. I noticed cobwebs that appeared to have been hanging in place for a long time, along with dirt and grime collecting in corners throughout the dining room. Even the menus felt sticky, with a visible film of grease and small food particles still clinging to them. The faded print and worn condition made them look as though they hadn't been replaced in years. Those details created an impression of neglect that made it difficult to relax and enjoy the meal. With a thorough deep cleaning and some updated menus, this restaurant could create a much more welcoming dining experience. Until then, the cleanliness issues overshadow what was otherwise an average meal.
