Second time visit, food is awesome especially the chicken Cam ga ro ti.
The beef pho was quite good also and the spring rolls excellent. Service was attentive and helpful (we got 5 rowdy kids)
The cleanliness needs a little upgrade though

No doubt this restaurant is serves delicious rotisserie chicken and duck with pho, prices are reasonable. Not sure if they were understaffed or extremely busy during the holiday weekends, but the table was sticky. If you go bring some table wipes, but overall food is good.

Food was absolutely AMAZING! My husband and I are always scoping around pho restaurants around San Jose area and this one definitely is a 10/10 if it’s your first time I recommend trying the pho steak and most of all their amazing chicken

This is probably one of my favorite places to eat lunch since starting working in San Jose. The chicken pho is unmatched everywhere else I’ve had it. The broth is light and savory, and the chicken is flavorful. If you’re a fan of the chicken organs (heart, liver, kidney), you’ll enjoy it a lot. I highly recommend this place for a quick bite to eat, though the large is definitely a large meal. (#1 comes large by default!)

Dropped by over the weekend. Was excited due to some hype for this place .
The parking situation was terrible. Crowded and tight parking spots. There were cars circling the lot.
When we were seated, the workers were able to accommodate us as the place was packed, and our group was large
Unfortunately, the food didn’t live up to the hype. For my dish, I had the popular one in which was featured in the SF Chronic. The chicken came out dry and tough. Even the sauce didn’t help. The chicken had little meat on it. The red rice tasted okay but was a bit hard. The salad was okay, but with raw white onions it made it taste very onion like which overpowered the whole dish. Solid 2 stars for the dish. A total 3 stars overall for the place

Best Pho I have ever had. Simply no other words. I always get the no. 1 and my husband gets the no. 15. Unmatched in taste! We have been here more than 30 times and it always tastes and looks the exact same. And their home made chili sauce is A+++. We have tried so many other Vietnamese places because we love pho but it’s never the same as this place.

This was the second time I’ve been to this restaurant and it’s good, but not for me IMHO. They are a famous chicken restaurant that has been recommended by the SF Chronicle. We ordered the Chicken Pho with all the cuts (Phở Gà Đặc Biệt) and the House Signature Sauce Over ½ Chicken, Mustard Greens, Shiitake Mushrooms With White Rice (Cơm Gà Hấp Cải Bẹ Xanh). The chicken is tender and tastes good, but the flavors are maybe a bit light for my pallet. Portions are huge and this place it’sis always busy. I’d recommend this place if you wanted Pho, but not Beef Pho. They do have Beef Pho here, but I did not try it.

I was recommended by a friend to try the restaurant’s duck noodle soup. My family went with 4 adults and 1 baby and the service arranged seats very quickly and enthusiastically. We ordered rice vermicelli soup with bamboo shoots and duck salad x 4
The food is served quickly, the noodles are served with a dipping sauce that goes very well with the duck salad. I ordered sugarcane juice to drink together, it was delicious. the price is very reasonable. My family will definitely come back when they visit San Jose

I visited a couple weeks ago and complimented the cashier of how amazing the Pho was. I ordered the Chicken Pho and my goodness, I haven’t had Pho this good since I lived in Washington state 2022. I’m a huge fan of Pho and have tried every Pho restaurant I can get my hands on. This so far has been my favorite, thank you for sharing your love in the broth, I can taste the passion and the hard work making it.
The staff were super friendly except the senior busser, which is totally fine I still appreciate all the hard work. I also like the idea of placing paper on the tables to prevent mess. Super clean and worth the wait.
