Giving this place 2 stars strictly for the food. This used to be my go-to spot for Hu Tieu, so coming back was a bit nostalgic after a friend mentioned it. I wasn't feeling well, so I decided to order 2 Hu Tieu to-go (no bones, which I know costs extra) and called it in ahead of time. Over the phone, I was told the total was $39, which already felt high at about $20 per bowl but I figured maybe there was a misunderstanding. When I got there, I was told the same total again, so I asked for clarification. The menu lists $15 for small and $16 for large, and I'm familiar with places automatically charging the large size for to-go orders, which is fine. But the math still isn't mathing! Even estimating generously: $17 per bowl comes out to $34, plus about 10% tax ($3) brings it to $37. There's also a clearly posted $0.35 to-go container fee, but that still doesn't justify the $39 total. It may only be a small difference, but the lack of transparency didn't sit right with me. Unfortunately, experiences like this make it hard for me to want to return, even for a place I used to enjoy. I won't be coming back. read more

We came here at a family member's recommendation and we were not disappointed! This is a more hole in the wall restaurant. Ther eis a parking lot behind the restaurant that can be missed if you drive by too quickly. Service was friendly. Most of my family got the small size, but the portion was HUGE! I was so stuffed. I got the #3, dry style. The side soup was a generous portion, had a good amount of flavor, (larger than average) and it came with 2 large bones with a lot of meat. The noodles were cooked perfectly. There was a lot of meat that comes with the noodles. There was just enough sauce, but there are condiments on the table so that you can add extra flavor. The noodles come with a side of vegetables including lemon garnish, sliced jalapenos, blanched bean sprouts. I would say the food here is pretty authentic, and great value! read more

We wanted to try a new place and found this hidden gem! It is a small restaurant that offers a variety of dishes! We got thr rice noodle and egg noodle the special style, which is #1 and #2 on the menu. We got them with soup on the side, the soup had a lot of flavor and was really good! The special style came with a variety of proteins and I liked the amount of vegetable they had. They give you steamed bean sprouts on the side which is the best as it doesn't make your dish cold! The sweet soy sauce bottle on the table gives the noodles great flavor, I would definitely come back again! read more

They added the fried pork skin pieces back in! This is a game changer for me. I haven't been back here for months. Now, I won't go elsewhere because this place hits all of the marks. Food (5 stars) + It's always #1 (rice noodle) or #2 (egg noodle) and dry where they separate the noodles and soup. + They put just the right amount of liver and meat slices + 2 large shrimp and 2-3 pieces of squid + I got 2 bones with soup. There's actually a lot of meat on the bones and the soup is much better now. There is no funky smell! Service/Ambiance (5 stars for hole in wall) + I got my order within a minute or two upon ordering... faster than fast food! + This is truly a hole in the wall style restaurant where you don't see many Gen Zs - Gen Zs are missing out - Only open until 4p so plan accordingly read more

It is such a treat coming back to Yummy Trieu Chau. I love their dry noodles. The best is their #2 egg noodle chowzhou style dry $15.75. There a squeeze bottle with their famous sweet soy sauce at the table. That sauce is hard to beat. The noodles they serve are hot and even though there is no soup. The large is almost too big to finish in one sitting. The difference is only $1 if you pick large vs. medium. The add on side orders are awesome. We usually get their Chinese donut $4. One order is not enough though for 4 people, so we get two. We also love their fried egg $2.75 and meat ball $5. The kitchen is fast and nowadays, it is not busy on the weekends at bunch time. Great job everyone at Yummy. read more

If you've ever had Hu Tieu noodles, you definitely know they are the most underrated noodles in the noodle realm. I get it, it's hard to compete with the classic heavy hitters like ramen, pho, udon or bun Bo hue but trust me Hu Tieu deserves a place at the table. To the naked eye, they look like boring old egg noodles but they're not. They're some of the most delicious, saliva-inducing bowls of noodles out there and yummy Trieu Chau does it effortlessly. If you've never had Hu Tieu at yummy's before, this is what you order. A #1 or a #2 with bone soup on the side. What's the difference between 1 & 2? Rice noodles or egg noodles. When they ask you if you want bone soup, the correct answer is always yes. I forgot the take a pic of the soup but it's this titanic pork bone with meat, cartilage & bone marrow dunked in hot porky broth. The fun part is using a chopstick to get the bone marrow out. Anyways the noodle bowl itself is filled with toppings such as pork meat, shrimp, fried pork belly,fried little shrimp, pork liver (you can ask them to omit if liver isn't your thing), and loads of veggies. The noodles itself are tossed in garlic oil and you'll want to drench it in the sauce they give you. I can't wait to go back, I'm literally drooling on my phone screen as I'm writing this review (ew?) but I highly recommend, this place is a dime. read more

i got a small #1 with soup inside. the flavor of the soup was comforting and rich, and i enjoyed the food a lot. the service left something to be desired. we arrived at around 1, so it wasn't too busy, and we were seated immediately. we were only looking at the menu for 10 seconds before the staff rushed us for our order. the meal came out in a reasonable amount of time, no complaint there, but once we got our food, it felt like we were watched like hawks. the establishment is small and not spacious and we were sat by the register, so maybe that's why, but it made us a bit uncomfortable. aside from service, the rice noodle dish was good and i would come back and request to sit not near the register. read more

Yummy Trieu Chau - hu tieu trieu chau nuoc (#1 with soup inside) - Vietnamese Near Me - San Jose, California

My first time coming here the other day and I enjoyed it so much I cannot stop thinking about what I ate!! We got #1 on the menu with the soup on the side and it was so delicious... added extra sauce to the noodles The soup is so delicious and the portion is very good! Me and my mom both got a small and it was just enough for the both of us, usually other places that does dry noodles their "small" is literally kids size... But can we talk about the soup again???? It was so yummy I swear If that is what I just ordered I would've been satisfied. It was a good combination, the dish, with noodle and meats. The place however is super small and crowded. So if you're looking for a restaurant where you need room, this may not be it. The parking is also pretty small and the restaurant itself is a typical run of the mill Asian restaurant (but that's how you know it's good) read more

Yummy Trieu Chau - #1, soup on the side - Vietnamese Near Me - San Jose, California

We tried the mi xao hai san (seafood stir-fried noodles) and were pleasantly surprised--it was flavorful, well-seasoned, and came out nicely cooked. We also ordered the pho ap chao (crispy fried rice noodles with seafood). The sauce was rich and savory, and the vegetables were fresh and plentiful, adding a great balance to the dish. Unfortunately, the noodles themselves missed the mark. They were overly dry, slightly stale in texture, and the portion size was very small compared to the amount of sauce and vegetables--making the ratio feel way off. Despite that, I'd be open to ordering it again to see if it was just an off night, since the flavors overall were promising. read more

It was really hard for me to write this review because I always strive to do my best to support small mom and pop shops that are super underrated. Unfortunately during my very first visit, I found a hair in my bean sprout garnish. Fortunately I asked for it to be replaced, and without hesitation it was done so. Hygiene and cleanliness is a priority for me and unfortunately because of this I knocked it down a few stars. As for the food itself, it was delicious. I ordered a small number 2 but dried version and it was hefty. I can't even imagine what a large would feel like. The dried noodles had adequate garnishes and tons of meat. It honestly felt very fair for the price. What I wish it had was a few more shrimps and cuttlefish, but for the amount of meat I had I couldn't complain. Overall, I don't mind the location, or interior as much when the food is good. Unfortunately hygiene was a key factor here and one that could had been avoided. read more

I got the large #2 thick egg noodles with the soup on the side. Decided for the large bowl because it was only a dollar more, so why not. The bowl was packed with assortment of meats and veggies. Even with adding the black sauce on the side into my noodles, it was lacking that umami flavor. The soup on the side had a nice salty taste but you can definitely tell it was loaded with a lot of msg. The beef bone the side soup came with was very meaty. The staff was friendly and tentative. I just wish the sauce for the noodles when ordering the soup on the side had more of that emph. Lacking that flavor 3.5 stars read more

There was a good variety of meat in the noodles - thinly sliced chicken, beef, squid & shrimp. read more

This morning visit to this restaurant was straight from a TikTok suggestion. I tried the #8, which came with a huge portion (I couldn't finish it) and a side of soup.

This place has been around for many years and I just keep coming back to it when I'm craving Hu Tieu Nam Vang! Plus, you know it's a gem when it's a hole in the wall type of place, a mom/pop shop, & literally the only Asian restaurant among many Mexican restaurants nearby. I always get their #1 which is their Hu Tieu Nam Vang, & I do soup on the side with a side order of Chinese donuts. Chef's Kiss! Flavor profile is always on point. I went recently and only got the same exact dish while my friends tried Hu Tieu with egg noodles, soup in and also their seafood chow fun. Both were really good as well. Hours might not be dinner-friendly but if you can go during the daytime for a good bowl of noodles, I highly suggest it! read more

Ate here so many times, but it seemed the dried Hủ Tiếu Triều Châu today was much different. Dunno if it's because the hotness of fresh noodles or not, but the noodles sticked together into a ball, which was not the usual state of noodles that I'd get. Besides that, their Phá Lấu (fried offal?) and Hoành Thánh (dumplings) were great! read more

This place is located on a busy street. They have a parking lot for you to park. Drive slowly before turning into the driveway because it's a narrow entrance. Food: 1.5/5 stars My husband and I had the dry Hũ Tiếu Triêu Châu (noodles w/soup on the side). This dish is served with pho noodles or egg noodles. I saw on Yelp that the bowl of soup had a pork bone in it, so I was excited to try it. However, I was disappointed in this dish. The soup was a little bland, there was nothing special about it. The flavor of the noodles were a little confusing to me. It was sweet and bland at the same time. My husband and I couldn't even finish our dish. Service: 1/5 stars I specifically requested chow-fun noodles for the dish my husband and I were getting. Three family members overheard our order and requested chow-fun noodles for their dish as well. My uncle had the vegetarian noodle dish, my mom got the Hiểu tiêu năm vàng and my brother got the same dish as my husband and I. All 3 members got their dishes before my husband and I. I noticed that it was taking some time for us to get ours. After roughly about 10-15 minutes, the waitress came out and said that they ran out of chow-fun noodles. However, all 2 family members got the chow fun noodles. I don't understand why my orders weren't completed first since I was the one who requested those noodles first. Also, why did it take them so long to tell me they ran out of noodles? My uncle ordered a vegetarian dish and noticed that it didn't have tofu. He was curious because the dishes he usually eats have tofu in them. When he asked the server, instead of explaining it to him nicely, she said (in a sarcastic condescending tone) that the dish doesn't have it. Then she told the chef in the back, and then all the staff and the chef in the back made fun of his comment and talked about him really loud. I was livid. I didn't want to argue, so we just paid for our food and left. We are not about to argue and fight over food. Cleanliness: It felt like a hole-in-the-wall type of restaurant, but usually, hole-in-the-wall dishes are good. This was not the case. The bathroom was not clean, and the floors everywhere felt and looked sticky. Overall: 2.5/5 stars I don't recommend this place. Maybe other dishes are good, but I'm not willing to go back and try. read more

We ordered to-go hu tieu. Not as good as Kali Noodle though. Broth isnt salty at all. They give a lot of noodles. I split the noodle soup into 3 meals. Wished they put more soup and meat.

Solid hu tiêu noodle place for many years but super dirty! I loves coming here when I am craving for hu tiêu but this place needs an update because it is super dirty inside as well flies are everywhere. It usually busy on weekend afternoon and services are okay. I always get my hu tiêu dry style. The bowl of soup comes with it was good too but too much msg. There was a fly in my bowl noodle when the servers bring out the foods. I am an easy person so it wasn't a big deal with me, it happens in food industry but that was just for me. I did tell the servers at the end and we both laugh at it as it was a usual things. Not usual it the health department! It is good foods, but just needs an remodel on the restaurant! read more

This place surprised me! Their hu tieu is easily one of the best ones I've had in the bay area. It was well seasoned and came with a nice amount of proteins. The portions are great for the price. I love the bone that comes with the dry version. 4 stars because there were some flies that kept landing on the table and service is non existent (but that's how you know the food is good). They came to take our order 5 seconds after giving us the menu lol. The restaurant has their own parking lot. read more

Haven't had hu tieu Nam Vang in awhile so decided to try a new place. Savory noodles with plenty of protein - pork slices, heart, liver, shrimp, ground meat, dried shrimp, squid. They had extra sauce on the side if you like your noodles with more sauce. I like the soup outside so it can with a bowl of broth and pork bone. Good flavors, so I wouldn't mind coming back. It is a hole in the wall so there is no A/C. Restroom was small but clean. Only thing that bother me was that there were flies flying about. Food is solid 4 stars. I just don't like the flies indoor. read more

Cane here with my husband for lunch as I wanted Hu Tieu Nam Vang but its not their specialty here, but close enough to what I wanted to eat. I've never been here before so it was surprising to know about this location. It was pretty busy when we arrived around noon. We were seated immediately and the server was ready to take our order. I ordered a small hu tieu trieu chau kho and my husband ordered a large mi pha lau kho. He says his dish is an off the menu special and that they don't always have it as they run out of it. We also ordered a side of Gio Chao Quay (Chinese donut sticks) to eat with our noodles. It pairs well when you eat hu tieu or mi. A small bowl of broth with 1-2 bones were given to us as we ordered dried noodles. The meat on the bones were pretty tender and falls off the bones easily. The broth was super flavorful though I could taste the fish sauce. I got extra thirsty after eating so I'm not sure if it's due to the the fish sauce in the broth or if there was too much MSG, if any. The service was pretty good as I asked for a water refill and it was done right away. The servers were all females and they seem to work very well together as observed them to help each other out without any difficulties. Restaurant is in its own building with a parking lot. read more

I've tried mi trie chau at a few different Vietnamese places in SJ but it was always underwhelming (either too bland or bad quality toppings) but the mi trieu chau here is one of my faves. I ordered the mi trieu chau dac biet to-go for $17.50 and it came with a side of pork bone broth with the large pork bone. I enjoyed both the broth and the the dry noodle dish. The sauce that came with the dry noodles was flavorful and I also liked how the restaurant included a side of chili oil and pickled chilies. In the future though, I would ask for an extra side of pickled chilies because I like eating a lot of those and 1 side of it wasn't enough for me. read more

What an AWESOME hole in the wall restaurant!! My dad came here with a friend recently and immediately came back to take the family. Ever since then, it's been our go to for hu tieu. It's tucked away with a tiny parking lot, but food comes out quick so there's high turnaround - the wait doesn't get long at all. It seems they do pretty well for themselves because they are closed on Tuesdays and only open until 4pm other days. Though I prefer my dry noodles elsewhere, the noodle soup here is phenomenal!! There was even a week where I visited twice because the broth is delicious. read more

Updated review since my last review was 6 years ago. I've been consistently coming over here for Hu Tieu, and I always recommend this place to my friends when they get the cravings. I always get Mi Kho (egg noodles with no soup, just the sauce and the soup gets served on the side). The portions are big, and I love hole-in-the-wall restaurants since they were a huge part of my childhood. I even still continued going here during the pandemic when only takeout was available, and they still did not disappoint. read more

For a lot of local restaurants I feel they have that one dish they are known for and at Yummy Trieu Chau it is without a doubt their dry egg noodle with a side of pork bone broth aka Mi Trieu Chau, a style of noodles straight from Chaozhou, a city in the southeastern region of China (where my grandparents are from). I'd love to share a story of how eating this noodle dish brings me back to the small town neighborhood where my family is from but I spent less than 24 hrs in Chaozhou and didn't have enough time to explore but I digress! This noodle dish is something I grew up with and is so comforting - after you thoroughly mix all the ingredients together the sauce really is the star and brings all the flavors together. Be sure to add some of the fresh chili oil they have on the side and enjoy! read more

If you are coming to get dry noodle here you won't be disappointed. They have both rice noodle(white) and egg noodle(yellow) which you can order soup in or soup out. I would venture to guess 90% of the people order it with the soup out so you can get a nice hot bowl of soup with a huge pork leg bone in it to gnaw on. I would recommend the #1 or 2 but last time we also got egg rolls which were pretty good. More meat than veggie although I would have liked a little more lettuce to wrap it in but they were pretty tasty. We also have gotten the fried chicken with rice which is a couple of deep fried chicken thighs and it is okay but that's pretty much all my kid will eat on this menu so gotta get what you can get. It's just okay. I would stick with the dry noodle and the soup on the side and maybe a few appetizers if you are feeling hungry. Portions are pretty good sized for the large so only get appetizers if you are really hungry/have a group or just want to take some home. Staff wise you won't get superior service, but it's I would say standard for a Vietnamese place. Also looks like the last time they redecorated this spot was probably close to when the building was built so you know it's got the legit hole in the wall feel. Probably the same table and chairs from when they opened shop. But they do wipe down tables and clean them after each guest. Tables are fairly close to each other so don't expect to be eating in a large dining room space. Overall it's a homey noodle place and I recommend either #1 white rice noodle or #2 yellow egg noodle dry with soup on the side. read more

Yummy Trieu Chau - Number 2, dry noodle special with egg "yellow" noodles, soup on side - Vietnamese Near Me - San Jose, California

Quick double date lunch on July 4th -- they were packed! I thought folks left town for the long weekend but I guess this was where the party was at! JK We have been coming here for years. They're known for their special combination noodles with the soup on the side. You can choose from the thin or thick flour noodles, or the thin or thick egg noodles. I've tried all versions and have always been a happy camper in the end. The noodles are accompanied with chicken, pork, shrimp, vegetables, and their special house sauce. The soup on the side will come with one pork bone with marrow. You can put as little or as much soup into your noodles to make it a bit softer but the house sauce already packs the bowl with enough flavor. The pickled chilli peppers are a perfect compliment -- I can finish an entire jar to myself in one sitting. The menu also has other items like fried rice, chow fun, and chow mein dishes. Double check for hours when you plan on visiting. They are closed one day out of the week. read more
