Pho San Jose - PSJ

This is now my go to pho spot in the San Jose bay area. Their boneless riblet adds a delicious addition to their pho and no one has it this good. You can order it as a side dish or in the "Pho San Jose" bowl. I will make the drive there just to have the best pho and it's well worth the extra miles. You can also add your top 3 meats by ordering their "Variety bowl" and I usually get their fresh noodles (banh tuoi). Their shrimp donut (photo attached) is also very tasty.

I heard about this place for a while and finally get to try it. It didn’t disappoint me. Love their pho noodle and the special smoky flavor edition. We came at dinner time and was told the spring rolls were sold out of the day. But we will definitely come back to try again for other dishes

newish pho place, very worth trying. broth is above average, particularly when considering this is on the East side where there's plenty of competition. The side of marrow for $4 is very worth it; it comes in its own broth and it is boneless., Warning: it is very fatty.

The noodles and meat quality is also quite good, although I didn't get a chance to try the fresh noodles. The cowboy pho also seems to be unique, and I intend to order that next time.

Been going here since they opened because I work right around the corner so I accumulate a lot of photos from all my visits. I’m not one to review much but once I seen the cowboy pho recommended on YouTube by “simply dumpling”, I decided to write a review as an I told you so to my friends who prefer other pho spots in San Jose. Don’t get me wrong there are a few good pho places but to fit my taste buds, Pho San Jose is the only one that does this. First off the pho is rich and flavorful. I always drink a spoonful of a pho before adding anything to it. That’s how I grade my pho first. The bowl was piping hot each time I come here. My go to meal is the pho San Jose with a side of bone marrow and a beef rib. I haven’t seen anywhere else around here that serves bone marrow with pho. I have seen beef ribs but never riblets or smoked brisket. I’ve notice as I’ve grown I use less and less condiments and just enjoy the pho as it is so there’s NO masking anything here to compensate for a bland broth. The decor is unique with the grass wall, trees, neon sign, and giant mascot painting. It doesn’t look like your traditional pho place. It has a modern twist to it and isn’t cramped like other pho restaurants. Everything feels spaced out and organized. The service was fast and you get seated down fairly quick but expect a little wait on weekends but not crazy long as other locations. Come try it out! Also they have beers! Cheers to them
