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.

I had high expectations for this spot, and I wasn't too impressed. I ordered a pho dac biet.
It was $15.95.
My standard I was comparing to was against pho ha noi.
The soup was well below average in flavor.
The sheer quantity of protein and noodle was significantly less than pho ha noi. They also didn't wrap the raw meat in any way.
Just left it on the noodles, so the noodles were soaked in blood.
Not a big deal to me specifically, but I'm sure others might have some issues with it. Not sure I'll be back since there are better spots in the area. Parking in the plaza.
Can get busy during peak hours.

This place was recommended by my Vietnamese friends who know their pho.
However, my experience here was just alright. Came in with a friend around 7PM on a Saturday and almost all the tables were full.
Just like any pho place, I got the menu right away and we're expected to know what I want in a few minutes.
I chose the Special Combo $9.95, which only came in the Large size.
The broth tasted bland and wasn't very hot (I like my food hot!), and some meat (the fatty brisket) were tough and chewy. My new-found love was the egg soda (raw egg mixed with condensed milk and club soda).
It tasted like melted ice cream, but in a good way 😬 try it if you are adventurous!
