"This one was tough as I really wanted to like this place but in the end the food came up lacking hence the 3 stars. The staff was super friendly and despite the rainy conditions the place was spotless. The food was the issue: In a nutshell it was a complete lack of seasoning (and yes we did not try the Pho) Cơm Xào Bò Lúc Lắc / Shaking Beef Rice Plate...." Read more

"Came here on a Saturday evening and the service was so nice and you get your hot pho served quick! Perfect way to warm up your winter night. I really appreciated the quick service. It's a cute photo spot on the corner with huge portions. 1 order of nuoc mam wings and 2 pho tai chin was $56 so it is pricey but they give you a lot so be prepared to come hungry..." Read more

"Went there around 5 pm so it wasn't that busy. Ordered the special/combo phở. The broth was ok but the meat cuts, quality and quantity were sub par. And I think they forgot the rare (ta'i) beef in my order :-("

"My new favorite place to get pho! Food was goood! The soup was clear, flavorful, and did not taste heavy on salt or msg. They offer thin and thick pho noodles. The #1 Dac Biet comes w a whole bone! The servers were very kind and eager to attend. Excellent service. The restaurant was relatively small. We came at 10am when they opened on a Wednesday. By 11,..." Read more

"Upon our quest to satisfy a craving for Vietnamese cuisine, my companion and I initially sought out Com Tam Thien Huong, but the lengthy wait exceeding an hour prompted us to pivot towards Pho This Way. It turned out to be a quaint detour from our original plan. We ordered the Pho Dac Biet, their special combination beef noodle soup. While the concept was t..." Read more

"This review is for our take-out experience. My bf got the special beef pho soup, and I got the short rib pho soup. It was weird because they put the noodles/meat in this plastic container, so you couldn't really pour the soup inside. You would have to get a separate bowl. My bf's soup came with this raw beef, but the soup wasn't hot enough to cook it. My sou..." Read more

"Came for weekday lunch and not so busy here. ordered combination pho and chicken wings. The wing was marinated with fish sauce and very tasty. The pho had so much meat, almost thought there are more meat than noodle. The broth was rich but my noodle was over cooked. My friend got BBH and the noodle was fine so maybe depends on the day. The food came out quic..." Read more

"It is cold as hell inside. Pho is about the broth and they missed the mark. The broth for the house special is not fragrant and the flavor is off. The only upside is that you get a big bone. The bun bo hue is salty, sweet and full of MSG. the broth has been water down. I am disappointed."

"Wow. Just wow. Stopped in to have a quick lunch with my friend and her and I both agreed that this spot makes it to the top 3 for pho in San Jose for both of us. Maybe we got lucky with the chef of the day, or maybe these guys are really up to something spectacular -- whatever it is, I'm floored. We both ordered their Pho Dac Biet which has a bit of ever..."

"I really wanted to like this place based on other reviews but some dishes were great amd some were not so good. The shaking beef and crispy egg rolls were the best. The beef was very tender and tasty. The crispy egg roll apprtizer had a flavorful stuffing and was served with lettuce. I would rate both of those 5 stars. However the pho was terrible which..."

"Pho soup was good but the tendance and noodle was a little too soft for my taste. The calamari flavor was there but the big chunks were very hard to bite. If you like your noodle soggy and you got teeth of steal. This is a great place for the flavor."

"One of Vietnam towns newest restaurants! Interior is clean and small- their menu is more limited imo so I always assume the business focuses on quality and they delivered !! Staff were all so sweet while bringing out food + checking in during the meal and afterwards. Cant wait to come back and try other dishes and see how they improve over time! Pho Tai C..." Read more

"New pho spot in Vietnam town. Good service and modern interior. The egg rolls were crispy and delicious. The combination pho had really good meat and I love the beef rib. It was cooked perfectly. Only complaint would be the pho is a little too sweet for me . I would definitely eat the pho here over pho Hanoi any day!"

"Néw in the heart of V town. I guess you can say I was expecting more since they are literally competing against pho Hanoi which is nearby. We ordered the fried Eggroll, the usual pho and bun Bo hue. Eggroll- 2.5 star , for some reason it's on the sweet side. Pho- Broth was way too sweet , to the point that you don't even need to put hoisin. There is no o..." Read more

We were able to get seated right away which was nice because we came a sort of a busy time during lunch. Hubby ordered pho dac biet, which is the special combo beef noodle soup.
