“We have been to Burma Choice several times and enjoyed the experience. There are not many Burmese restaurants in the area. So, the vibe, the decorations, and the flavors of the dishes feel different.On our most recent visit, Black Pepper Lamb was cooked just right, tender and juicy. Burma Choice Noodle (vegetarian) was flavorful. The only downside was that all the dishes were salty. And that is the reason why we don't visit this place very often.The staff were friendly but not striving for better service. Despite listing carrots, the Black Pepper Lamb came without them. When my husband asked about this, the response was a shrug and 'I don't know what the chef did.'There are many unique meat and vegetarian dishes. Be sure to order rice separately because it doesn't come with the dishes.“
“Super cute vietnamese restaurant in a modern vibe..I dined in the evening, so the lady owner was working super hard to serve her patrons..soups are good,she told us she doesn't put any Msg in her food like most vietnamese restaurants..I had the Beef combination pho that came with a beef bone to chew on on a separate plate which was unique..will recomend !“
“I've been wanting to try this place for some time and I finally decided to when I was feeling sick and wanted soup! I got the coconut noodle soup with tofu & veggies and I got it Thai spicy! I was a little scared of how spicy it might be but honestly, it was not bad. Still, would not advise if you feel like you are sensitive to spice because you can visually see more pieces of actual Thai chilies in the dish. I've since gone back to have this again and it was the perfect comfort dish, like a hug from the inside to help me feel better but fuel me with something absolutely delicious! I also had the Thai tea and it was made perfectly! Not too milky and not too sweet. It's one of the better Thai teas that I've had at any restaurant. This place only offers pick-up orders. I didn't see it on any delivery service. Definitely easiest to just call in your order. The interior is very small and not designed for a sit-in meal. They're always nice and have the orders done a bit faster than the estimated time they give you.“
“An absolute gem of a place! Honestly I was never a fan of dumplings but this place really changed my mind. I would highly recommend the vegetable steam dumplings and dan dan noodles. The pot stickers and chicken soup dumplings are also really good. We come here often and have brought so many friends who absolutely love it! I would highly recommend that you come check out this place!“
“Came here for dinner on a Saturday night after some rock climbing. Luckily we put our name down right before a bunch of groups came and we got seated in a few minutes. Otherwise it was looking to be at least a 20 min wait. Ordering was through your phone. You also pay on your phone. Water is self serve. Food comes out on disposable plates. So turn around for tables can be pretty quick! They have their system nailed down. All the food came out quickly and it was all delicious. But oh my god the pork katsu. That first bite was heavenly and I will have to order it every single time! We all got a variety from karage to chicken katsu but the pork...always pork from now on. It was tender and just melted in my mouth. And the fry was perfectly crispy. I can't wait to come back!“
“We swung by to grab some takeaway bao and dumplings, and the service was impressively quick, friendly, and patient.While waiting to cash out, my little niece spotted a furry pink bunny stuck to the metal shelf, and the staff kindly offered it to her, which was part of their Chinese decorations. She was super happy, and I greatly appreciated the kindness.The food was delicious, but what really stood out was the exceptional customer service—the active listening and thoughtfulness made our first visit memorable.We're already looking forward to returning to this tiny, causal take-out location with no seating. They're situated in a parking plaza with free parking, though it's not extensive. We didn't encounter any issues with parking during our visit.“
“Nice restaurant. The menu has all the typical dishes and more. We just tried a few things on their menu, and everything was good. The wontons in the wor wonton soup was really good. There are lots of veggies in it which I like. We also had the pan-fried pork buns. Crispy bottom. The filling was just ground pork, which was good. We just ordered a couple of vegetable items. Dry string beans and eggplant in garlic sauce. Both were great. The portion size was large, which I appreciate. Lots to take home. I will be going back.“
“Small but excellent place w really fast service. Authentic tasting Thai food . The egetabels were super fresh and crunchy. Highly recommend the khao soi, the chef was super accommodating to switch out the fried chicken with fried tofu instead. YUM.Vegetarian options: Basil tofu, Tom kha, khao soo, curries, pad thai, pad see eaw and more!“
“This was our first time dining here and we had an amazing experience! If you're not sure what restaurant to dine at in Vietnam Town, you definitely want to check this spot out! The net egg rolls (must try!!) have such a slight and delicate crisp, making every bite so satisfying! Their pho dac biet was so aromatic and packed with meat! The fried chicken rice plate was so tender and paired so well with the fish sauce for a burst of umami flavor! Their taro salad was something I've never tried before, and was so tasty! The fried taro balances well with the tanginess of the salad and so addicting to eat! And lastly the shaking beef was so juicy and flavorful and loved the sauce! The portions are so generous! The restaurant itself is very cute and clean! We loved the lantern decor! We received great service and were informed about the popular menu items. Overall it's a fantastic spot to dine with family and friends! There are so many restaurants in Vietnam Town, and it can be so hard to pick where to eat, but you definitely want to check this spot out! We will definitely be back! Since it's located in a busy plaza, parking can get crazy especially during the lunch hour. But since people are coming and going for lunch, it's fairly easy to find a parking spot. There's also a parking garage in the very back of the plaza, very close to Pho This Way!“
“Last night, We decided to have dinner at this place. The chilly weather made it the perfect time for a steaming bowl of pho. The restaurant has its own parking lot, but there is also street parking available. As soon as we walked in, we were warmly greeted and promptly seated. The menus were handed to us, allowing us to quickly decide on our order.To start, we ordered the fried egg rolls, which were crispy and flavorful. For our main course, we opted for the filet mignon pho and the brisket pho. The vegetables served with the pho were fresh and added a nice crunch to the dish. The food itself was solid, with the flavors blending together harmoniously. The service was quick and friendly, ensuring that we had a pleasant dining experience.The restaurant itself is cute and spacious, providing a comfortable atmosphere for enjoying our meal. Overall, it was a satisfying dinner, and I would recommend this place to anyone craving a delicious bowl of pho.“
“We came to the area wanting to try out Dan Izakaya, but there was a long wait. We walked by this hidden gem and saw the food pictures looked delicious, so we decided to dine-in. There was not a lot of people sitting inside, but there were a lot of people getting take out. We ordered pork soup dumplings, Nanjing salted chicken, mixed fried rice and green onion pancake. It was a lot of carbs and filled us up since we were starving. The nanjing salted chicken was the highlight. There's maybe not a lot of places that do it this well. It is a lukewarm style dish and the flavor of the salt on the tender duck was delicious. The dough from the green onion pancake and XLB had a nice chewy texture, very homestyle-like. I would pass on the fried rice next time. This is a family run restaurant and very cozy vibe. It was inexpensive for the Bay Area and we just spent around $50 for the meal. Would definitely come back and try their other dishes. They have talented chefs and it is a good spot to go to or have take out, to enjoy something similar to a home-cooked meal.“
“First time visiting a Vietnamese restaurant in the United States~You can eat delicious Vietnamese food here~It’s also a good place for Asians to eat here!Authentic Vietnamese Pho and more~The decoration inside the restaurant is also quite special~There is also a TV that broadcasts the life of Vietnamese locals!The Vietnamese pho and barbecue rice I have eaten so far are quite delicious!PS: If you like my comments, you can follow them~I will take photos of the appearance and color of the food I saw on site and present it to everyone. I will go to various places to discover delicious food and unique places! !I wish everyone’s wishes come true! “
“The service is usually good, although there have been a few hiccups in attentive staff but that mostly could have been due to time and demand. The food comes fairly quick and hot, and it is very good. The pho broth here is the best in the area (south side) hands down in my opinion and it does not taste like they made shortcuts in making pho by adding pre-made broth and/or a LOT (keyword lot) of MSG. The portion size is also respectable and the quality is perfect at the price. I really recommend this place to anyone because honestly it is soo worth.“
“Yummy lunch. Stopped by to have their famous grill fish. It was quite busy when we arrived. We got the table right away. The interior is standard. We ordered spicy and sour seafood rice noodle soup, grill fish, and chow fun with stir fry seafood and veggie. All are yummy, and the portion is generous. The vietnsmese coffee is also good. It is not too sweet. The highlight dish is the grill fish. It is for 2 people but it can feed more. Service is quick. It is good for the group. It is cash only. It has an atm machine inside.“
“+ Great variety of pho noodle soups. There are quite a lot of menu items (e.g pork intestines) that I have not seen in any other Vietnamese pho restaurants in Bay Area.+ Personally really enjoyed the wide rice noodles.+ Good portion size- The soup has a slightly sweeter taste than usual.“
“Did this place live up to the hype? YESSSS. I am pretty picky with my pho... in order to impress me, a good bowl of pho must include:- clear, beefy and hearty broth but not too salty- broth not overpowered by spices esp cloves- fresh noodles- good ratio of meat, noodles, and herbs- piping hot so it burns my mouthAnd yes, this place had it all. I think this may be the best bowl of pho I've had in a long time.“
“Just ordered from here for the first time. Prices compared to Panda Express are higher, BUT!!!! Taste, quality and authenticity is not comparable. Panda Express is like 7-Eleven burgers versus Black Angus steak burgers AT Black Angus. There is no comparison.“
“If you love authentic TRUE VIETNAMESE tasting pho come here ! It is so delicious and nutritious and it leaves you wanting more. The number 14 is filet mignon with rice and vegetable sides and mini pho broth soup. Impeccable. All the ladies as well are sooo so kind ! Shout out to them ??? I suggest this place “
“Good place to get banh canh! They have many different varieties here and they load on the toppings! I got their special and I love how they added a bunch of fresh crab meat on top, rather than already having it mixed in the broth. The broth is thick and flavorful and noodles were chewy. Portion is good for the price Food: 4.5/5 Price: 5/5 Vibes: 4/5“
“Simple EatsSan Jose’s Little Saigon is a treasure trove of simple comfort eatsRather than advance reservations or prix-fixe menus, you find an abundance of flavors served simply and quicklyI dropped by Leung Noodle to try of the newer Cambodian style Hu Tieu noodle specialistsAt 10:30 AM, the place was packed and bustling…always a good signThe menu focuses on only one item - Hu Tieu - and simply offers multiple customization optionsI ordered the Dac Biet (special) that is served with a large pork bone. I chose the dry style with soup on the side, chose both egg and rice noodle, and ordered a simple beef ball soup for extra brothFlavors are great, especially the signature sauces and the condiment game is strong with delicious pickled garlic and chili oilI found Leung Noodle cleaner than Nam Vang, less artificial tasting than Dalat, and with a more authentic Hu Tieu version than China Chen noodle options (I ❤️ China Chen)Leung Noodle (Silver Creek, San Jose) has no geolocation or instagram handle? #2 Dac Biet (Saigon Special), Kho (Dry style with special sauce), Hu Tieu Mi (Rice and Egg noodles) $15.50 ~ Saigon shrimp and pork, (#1 toppings of slice pork, ground pork, liver, heart, shrimp, squid, fried garlic, green onions, cilantro / Beef Ball Soup $6?Leung Noodle (San Jose, CA)Indoor dining only. Credit cards including AmEx accepted. $0.50 surcharge for credit cards.“
“Very surprised they let us make a reservation at 6:15p but the restaurant closes at 6:30p. Turned out the serving staff is great and we get the whole restaurant to ourselves but we didn't feel comfortable to stay for too long since we were keeping the staff from closing up the shop.“
“The food/soup is delicious and when it says spicy, better believe that!!I ordered Combo D which is beef bone rice noodles + your choice of appetizer and/or green bean soup or poached veggies. I got the fried pork dumplings and green bean soup as my sides.The green bean soup comes out first because it’s served cold and I was glad it was because when I got done with my soup and drinking the broth, I needed something cold and sweet. The green bean soup is slightly sweet. I had no idea but it is a dessert soup.The beef bone soup comes out with the soup/noodles in the large bowl and meat w/spicy sauce ima separate bowl. I’m not sure if I did it right but I poured the whole bowl of meat and sauce into my noodles and it became like hot lava! I love spicy and this had me sweating and coughing. Loved every bit but please be mindful of your heat tolerance.The pork dumplings are served piping hot and freshly made! Crispy bottoms and soft tops! I would take a bite of the dumpling and then soak it in the soup broth to soak up the flavor and bam, soup dumpling!Definitely give this place a try! Located adjacent to Lion Supermarket. If you blink, you’ll miss it and you don’t wanna miss it!“
“Went with my Mom and it was during lunch. The place was half full. It's next to Ranch 99 in the Westfield We got three items. Crispy sweet pork, Shrimp&Egg fried rice and Wonton soup. I will say the fried rice was salty, the flavor was good though. And the Crispy pork was tasty. Totally forgot to take picture of the soup.. If you're hungry with 2 adults you want to order at least 4 dishes. We got 3 and were still not satisfied Fast service there. The workers were also friendly.You order on your phone. Can also pay for bill all thru Qr code. The place looks fairy new Parking lot in front“
“Quick and easy but always fix the craving f crabs. You know what I mean!Very efficient and delicious. Consider cheap as today’s living expenses!You will get a buzzer if your order is to~go!We will continue to come back for sure but may not be this location.Parking: Free parking lot!“
“Although it seems like it's Chinese food, it's actually very authentic Vietnamese food. Lots of great egg noodle soup variations. Food is very affordable - maybe $10-15 per bowl. The waiter pointed us to a seat but some folks sat took and therefore took our table. But I am grateful that the waiter did the hard decision to boot them out and seat us first. Note: I recommend their coconut juice drink. It's so refreshing!“
“The vegetarian hotdogs and fries were very tasty. The Kyoto Fire was our favorite. While we have only been once, some of our friends recommended the same highly from years of visits.This review has been updated from its original to reflect that the manager resolved a disagreement we had with the clerk. Credit to the clerk, while he was perhaps confused, he was apparently trying to do what he thought was his job in the face of pressure.“
“I ordered the #2 Salt Ramen here and it’s absolutely delicious and creamy. The broth is the best!This ramen spot is located in Mitsuwa Market. When you order they will give you a receipt with your order number. Back then, water was provided but now this spot doesn’t provide water to go along with the ramen. The Salt Ramen includes chashu, which I usually like since it’s very soft and tender. However, the chashu this time was a bit over cooked. The ramen noodles has a good texture and the broth was rich in flavors. I would highly recommend this spot!“
“Love the massive sushi rolls here. Their ratio of filling to rice is amazing. Seriously so much fish/stuffing per roll and the fish was also fresh and buttery. Reasonable prices too. The Mexican roll was $9.99, the O-philly roll was ($10.99), and the Spicy Crazy Roll was ($13.50). Miso Soup was perfect and a comforting side. Super kind service and a cozy ambiance.“
“The OG pho house in SJ. Solid broth - you could taste the hours spent cooking the soup base. Tendons and brisket were fresh and thinly sliced, as they should. Simple menu with mostly pho and different add-ons. Feels home-y and a treat on a cold night. Cash only.“
“Food was okay. Pretty expensive for banh mi. Amount of food for price was not good. Pho was good. Thai tea wasn’t as sweet as expected and with too much ice. I had requested light ice. Overall I would recommend customers just stick to pho here.“
“The beef pot stickers were satisfactory, but I think pork would have been a better choice. The fried wontons with spicy garlic sauce exceeded my expectations; the sauce, reminiscent of Thai chili sweet sauce, was a delightful fusion of flavors. However, the pork and shrimp boiled dumplings fell short of expectations due to tiny shrimp and inconsistent texture among the dumplings. The pork wontons with chili sauce were flavorful, though not as spicy as expected, yet still worth the price. The wonton in chicken broth was decent but unremarkable. On the other hand, the noodle dish with onion soy sauce was disappointing – too bland despite the chewy noodles.“
“This place gets SUPERRR crowded during the weekend. The waits are usually around 10-20 mins. Weekdays are your ideal days to go. Since I went on a super crowded day alone, it took me 5 minutes to be seated and 3 minutes to wait for my food. The pho tai was a 4/5. The broth was super flavorful, but the beef was a little undercooked for my liking. Definitely would come back on a less crowded day!“
“This place is a hidden gem! So surprised not a lot of people know about it. I've gone here a few times. Even with a large group of 20 people, they were easily able to accommodate us all and bring food and drinks out very timely. I was able to try the Hu Tieu kho (dry noodle) with the flat noodles this time. This elevates the dish so much. Hope you're lucky enough to try it before the runs out.“
“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 regret that I didn’t take more pictures of the food we had! They were gone too fast… Everything was so good! Kor Moo Yang picture from google review was actually the thing that made me come to this restaurant. And it was AMAZING! The first Thai restaurant I’ve been that made Kor Moo Yang right!!! I’m so happy and so my husband and his family. Khao Soi Chicken was also good. Atmosphere was great and of course good service from the staffs. ขอบคุณค่ะ ☺️?“
“Excellent flavors in all the dishes we ordered. Tom kha with chicken, pumpkin curry with beef, pad see eew with shrimp and eggplant basil stir fry with shrimp. The sauces were out of this world. Shrimp succulent and perfectly cooked. Only shortcomings are that the beef was a tad tough and the noodles overdone that they were completely broken up… but it was so delicious that it didn’t stop us.“
“I came here with my boyfriend to have early lunch and I want to say this is probably the best hu tieu place I've ever had . Service was amazing, friendly, and fast. Super cozy inside. They were very attentive to their customer. Would definitely come back !!“
“I just stopped to pick up a to-go order and the owner was so kind that they went out of their way to sit me at a clean table and served me some tea and ice cream while I waited and even rushed to serve a side of chili pasta.Food is excellent just like the service!Will definitely be returning!Vegetarian options: My wife is vegetarian and they serve a great veggie pho!“
“Pretty good Nam Vang/ Cambodian dry hu tieu noodles. Apparently, this is somewhat in relation to Nam Vang on Tully. I remember liking that one more but the cleanliness here helps. It's located inside Grand Century- make a right upon entrance and you should see it.“
“By far my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in San Jose. Also the best Bánh bèo (steamed rice cakes) I've had outside of Hue Vietnam where they originate. The proprietor give me directions to a place in Hue to try them and I made the trip while I was in Vietnam. After trying them all over the Bay area, in Orange County and in Paris France these are second only to the ones from the restaurant in Vietnam.Incredibly friendly staff, outstanding food, what more could you possibly want?“
“I was between a 3 and a 4, but I'm going to give Loulan the benefit of the doubt since they look new. I've ordered a couple of items (via work delivery), and I have to admit this is not a cuisine that I'm too familiar with. I have not eaten in the restaurant, and I'm not sure if this is even an option. Fried Noodles: There wasn't a lot of flavor, and they were incredibly spicy (great for those who want more "legit" heat). The portion size was quite good, but perhaps not great given the price point. I did enjoy the texture of the noodles themselves and how they were cooked (a bit more al dente) Meat Buns: These were quite delicious. The size of the bun felt quite large, and I enjoyed the taste of the filling. The filling was quite full, and it felt like they were not skimping on the filling. Also, despite being delivery, the pastry shell was still quite flaky which I enjoyed. Overall, worth a try to see if this is your thing or not and / or a good option if you're looking for something different.“
“Took my parents here who have never had dumplings and they loved it. We had the beef, pork and shrimp, and veggie SJBs, charsiu bao, and chicken and pork xlb. Everything was really delicious but our unanimous favorite was the beef SJB. Definitely will be coming back when I get a soup dumpling craving.“
“This is a small place hidden in the corner of a quiet strip mall but the food they served completely surprised me. The menu comprises standard Chinese dishes (mostly Cantonese), nothing too fancy. We ordered salt and pepper ribs, beef chow fun, Chinese broccoli with beef, and beef brisket stew with daikons. All of them were scrumptious, way beyond our expectations. The amount of food was huge given their very reasonable prices. Even their homemade chili sauce on the tables were delicious. We then found out the chef before moving to the US was actually a chef at a famous Cantonese restaurant in China. We highly recommends this place.“
“The restaurant is right next to the AMC movie theater and features very high-quality, delicious fresh rice noodle soup dishes from the southwest region of Yunnan in China bordering Vietnam, Laos and Myanmar. We tried their signature crossing-the-bridge noodle soup with wagyu beef and black truffles, where a gigantic bowl of steamy hot broth was served with thinly sliced wagyu beef, black truffle slices, pea shoots, corn, Chinese chives, morel mushrooms, wood ears, corn and other little dishes. Then the waiter threw everything into the broth and the foods were cooked in the hot soup right in front of your eyes, which was fun to watch. They said their broth had been simmered with whole chickens and spices for over 24 hours. If you like the noodles spicy, they have the pickles and chili oil made in house, which added additional layers of complexity to the dish. The end result was simply scrumptious and memorable. We also tried the spicy ground pork noodle soup and the Golden Triangle noodles, the latter of which was vegetarian and had a unique flavor, with poppy seeds in the sauce. The cucumber salad tasted really fresh and the pig ear salad was also very authentic (not too spicy but full of flavor). The owner was around. He was extremely friendly, and tried to greet and talk to every table. A one-of-a-kind place where the delicious foods were prepared with a great deal of care and creativity. We will be coming back soon.“
“I’ve eaten here three times now. The food is very consistent. It is excellent. I get the pork sandwich combo. It is amazing better than any other Vietnamese restaurant I’ve ever eaten at. Tony The server truly loves his job. You could tell By the way He takes care of everybody. Excellent place I highly recommend it.Parking: Simple easy plenty of parkingWheelchair accessibility: Very easy for the wheelchair. Mild slope easy access to the front door. About 30 feet restaurant is very wide and open. Easy to get around.“
“Honestly I was surprised with the pho! It's not the best pho I ever had, but it was decent enough, especially being down the street from my work. It was piping hot and the broth had flavor (beef pho). It's worth it if you need a hot bowl of soup if your in the area.“
“Ordered #1 LIttle Saigon Rice Cakes (banh khot). Texture was perfect -- crisp on the outside. Came with a generous serving of fresh lettuce and mint to wrap. Nuoc mam was one of the best I've had. I haven't had banh khot often so I don't have much to compare these to. They look like small versions of banh xeo (Vietnamese crepe) but not as flavorful or loaded with stuff. But it was a nice snack.“
“My new favorite place to go in San Jose! I live an hour northeast of this place and I will gladly drive down with my family to enjoy great food here. I tried this place for the first time on Tuesday with my friend and then came back with my family and friends on Sunday. We loved it and the server was kind enough to let my family taste their ube waffle for free! Love their food and service! Thank you Duy! It was great chatting with you and learning a little bit on how you started the business. Wish you and your wife much more success. Also, wishing you can open a bigger location and possibly multiple locations in the very near future ?“
