So. Good. Visited on a Saturday for dinner — got there just before 6pm which was probably why there wasn’t a wait. There’s also a small parking lot in the back of the restaurant which is really convenient.

Great service, nice restaurant. Authentic menu. I tried the bun bo hue. It was loaded with meat and it was a large portion. Wasn’t too spicy, just enough to add a good flavour. Really enjoyed the meal and would come back.

Good food, fair portions (not big or small). Atmosphere is nice and clean. Service is surprisingly good and attentive for a Vietnamese restaurant. Prices aren’t cheap at around $20/person for entree and soft drink. They’ve also got a bar for alcohol-based beverages.

It feel an upscale Vietnamese restaurant, because most Vietnamese restaurant I been to are not this clean, cozy and proper. The food is good but more pricey, some dish are very salty tho. The services are much like the services I get from a non Asian restaurant.

One of the best Vietnamese restaurant in the bay area and my go-to place for a satisfying Vietnamese meal! Love the combo options that allow you to choose different carb (rice, vermicelli square, etc) and meat choices (baby back ribs Vietnamese style you hear me?) What’s more fun than eating spring rolls you created yourself!? Nothing! My personal favourites were the lemongrass beef and the banh knot (fried rice ball with shrimp) appetizer!

My Vietnamese sister in law introduced me to this place. First time having banh khot and now it’s my new favorite Vietnamese food! Haven’t been able to find this on the east coast…

Hadn’t visited in several years until recently and it’s still one of the better Vietnamese traditional family style restaurants in San Jose. Staple dishes are the clay pot catfish (cá kho tộ), sweet and tangy soup with catfish (cảnh chua), shaking beef (bò lúc lắc). Service was busy but sufficient. Booth chairs were awkwardly too soft. Pricier than other more “local” places but it’s really good!
