Got to visit Ong Ta Banh Cuon Bun Moc (banh cuon is freshly steamed rice rolls filled with grounded pork, onions, spices & chopped dried mushrooms) is located in the Vietnam Town Shopping Plaza.Ordered to go #1 special Bánh Cuốn Đặc Biệt – which had delicate chew, juicy bits of pork and veggies giving a burst of flavor accompanied with fresh bean sprouts, mint, herbs and other sides, all meant to be dipped or drizzled in a prepared savory fish sauce (add on chili sauce and fried shallots for umami)Taste: 4.8 / 5 starsPortion size: generous - one to go portion was enough for twoLikely the best in San Jose as I’ve been living in the NorCal area for over 35 years now and hadn’t come across a banh cuon restaurant with not only generous portions but tasty combinations of various fried grounded pork patties and steamed pork patties (cha) & nem (cured pork patties) etc - four different types total plus a deep fried sweet potato shrimp cake to top it off.Would I visit again? Absolutely ?Recommend to family & friends: for sure ?To go order total: under $18 USDOn a separate note, love to ski, ride & good eats? ? SnowPals Dot Org since ‘99Parking: Lots of parking; there is also a covered garage parking all the way in the backKid-friendliness: Saw lots of family with kids dining in.

I've been in the US for more than 10 years but cannot find a place with a good bún mọc or bánh cuốn that resembles my favorite childhood flavor. This restaurant offered me that. Will definitely go here when I come back to San Jose in the future.

This place is popular; you can tell it from its concise menu, which has no more than five sheets. The menu is simple, specialized, and affordable, but what's even better is that the food is delicious. Due to the place's popularity, I suggest going on a weekday, arriving early, or not going there too hungry.The staff makes a great effort to serve all customers promptly and attentively, even when there is a long queue. They don't pressure you to finish your food quickly or keep track of you with the check when they serve you your food.The place could be improved by having more tables and space inside.

My sister and I usually come here when we are craving banh cuon. We usually get the #1 with a little bit of everything. They get your plate to you pretty quickly. Be careful of the red chili condiment on the table. It is very spicy! We added a half spoon of it into our nuoc mum and it was a very painful experience. Recommended to only add very very little and add more after tasting it.
I'm just not used to their food, which is probably very authentic and they had plenty of customers. The servers are friendly.

Came here based on yelp reviews. The special rice roll at the beginning of the menu is excellent. All the cured meats are delicious and so are the premade rice rolls. We also had them customize a noodle soup to make it vegetarian to meet the needs of someone in our family. Having said this, the place needs a touch up in decor. Also the service needs massive improvements (the servers need to be more hospitable and friendly) especially when the place is least busy.

Great place to get banh cuon and bun moc! They make the banh cuon fresh so the texture is perfect, nice and thin but chewy, so good! The different meat and dry shrimp fillings are very flavorful, and I love the sweet potato fried with shrimp. The bun moc has a light broth and the cha are all delicious. Be prepared to wait in line because the place gets busy and they take a while to prepare the banh cuon fresh.

First time having banh cuon here! Since then I’ve been back and brought new friends and they got hooked too! I love the shrimp banh cuon and the nem nuong rolls. Food comes out fast. Expect a short wait to be seated. The wait is well worth it!

Both their banh cuon and bun moc is solid. The bun moc definitely reminds me of my aunt's food stand in Vietnam. Broth is sweet and flavorful with lots of pork, moc, and other cha. Their combo banh cuon plate is pretty big. They were pretty busy during lunch, but service was good.
I was so hungry that I forgot to take a picture of my food but this place is great. The food is really good and staff is friendly. Food also came out
