“The Beef Pho is amazing and the Vietnamese Tacos are so flavorful“

“This is the best Taiwanese night market food I have ever had. Its also the only Taiwanese night market food I have ever had. And now I want to go to Taiwan and visit the night markets. Everything I have ordered from here has been fantastic. The size and quality of the steak has differed slightly from time to time, but I have never been dissatisfied. The sizzling steak plate is really good. I prefer the pepper sauce to mushroom sauce, but sometimes I get combo.. The corn soup and noodles and egg are always great. They don't have any gluten free options (would be great if they offered a rice noodle) , so my wife can't eat here, but when I am dining solo its sort of my go to now. They are fast and efficient as well. the restaurant itself is small but tidy. I can't recommend this place enough, and looking forward to exploring the menu further.“

“We dined at their SM North Edsa branch. Good food. 👌 Crews were accommodating. 💯“

“This is a special review, and I’d like to highlight one of the employees, Mr. Gao. We visited the Cupertino location, and my dad accidentally left his bag there (with his phone and water bottle inside). When I called the restaurant, I mistakenly reached the Milpitas location.

Even though Mr. Gao doesn’t work at that location, he went above and beyond to help us. He personally contacted the Cupertino store, reassured me, and explained that they have security cameras, so they would be able to locate the bag. His calm, thorough, and responsible approach meant a lot to us during a stressful moment.

We already love the food at DH Noodle, but this experience really showed the integrity and sense of ownership your staff has—qualities that matter deeply to us. Huge shout-out to Mr. Gao, as well as the Cupertino team. Thank you for the outstanding service.“

“Been wanting to try this spot for the longest but feel like I would be let down because Nam Vang on Alvin is elite and always a sj staple. Eventually gave it a shot because my brother went give his opinion. Came on a Monday around 5pm. No one in sight... we were the only ones there, which wasn't a good sign, service was great though.

Overall clean and your standard Vietnamese restaurant.

To the food! Man the #1 was honestly as good or little better than nam vang. I did it with broth today since my body needed some thing soupy from the weekend. Meat was very tender, soupy was cleansing my soul, and a lot of flavor from the dried shrimp and ground pork. Chinese donut was fresh it felt like. Only thing the meatball was not sticking together as much as I like (I like Nam vang meatballs better)

Glad I have this place a shot. Probably will go here again soon to try the non broth one.

Also heard it could be same family as owner of Nam Van, which would make sense.

I don’t understand why this place not busy. Maybe location issue. Feel like restaurants there don’t get enough foot traffic“

“Such delicious food for a great price. The hainanese chicken was succulent and the spring onion sauce was perfect for the chicken rice. I loved the vegetable with seafood too, cooked with delicious peanuts. The laksa is not like the one from Singapore, definitely a new creation.“

“this place is the bomb. food is just so full of flavor, all of it. totally recommend.“

“This new spot opened up. It’s located inside a building called the “Culinary Block” inside a large parking lot for take away orders only. Overall, the price is good for the quality and quantity of food. I got the Northwest Lianpi noodles, Xinjiang Rice Noodle With Beef Shank, Meiling Congee, Homemade Yogurt, and Homemade Plum Juice.Liangpi: The noodles were soft and slightly bouncy with a nice chew to them. Very unique texture! It came with three sauces to mix into the noodles so you can adjust the spiciness however you like. The flavor was very balanced and it was easy to finish the whole thing without getting tired of the flavor.Xinjiang Rice Noodle: This dish was very flavorful and a little on the saltier side compared to the other dishes. Nice if you are into something heavier in flavor. It’s not as spicy as it looks and comes with a thick round rice noodle.Meiling Congee: This dish was pretty special, the flavor profile is very subtle but well balanced. I haven’t tried something like this before. It has a tiny hint of sweetness and has a bit of a nutty soymilk flavor and bits of lotus seed inside. Like a dessert porridge. Very tasty!Homemade Yogurt: This yogurt honestly has a phenomenal texture and I would definitely recommend it! It’s almost like a mix between mochi and liquid yogurt in the slightly stretchy texture. The flavor is good too since it’s just a tad sweet and just a tad sour.Plum juice: Slightly sour and sweet juice that is refreshing to go with food and increase appetite.Overall, I would say the food here is pretty good because the owner really pays attention to the quality! The food is well seasoned and balanced. Can’t wait to try the other things on the menu.

Parking: Plenty of parking“

“Excellent food and service! Some of the most authentic Chinese noodles I ever had. I have traveled to China before and had these dishes. The food here is just as good. Further, the dishes here are regional based (Central China). That means not many Chinese restaurants have these wonderful spices/ flavors. Highly recommended!!“

“3 people less than $100, large portions“

“Nice ambiance and friendly People“

“We dined at their SM North Edsa branch. Good food. 👌 Crews were accommodating. 💯“

“We saw the ad on fb and browsed through photos on Google maps. We decided to dine there yesterday and the service is very nice, fast turnaround and prices are very reasonable. It’s a gem.“

“Buns we're pretty good and really affordable. My big complaint is that the bus cart they push around every 5 minutes sounds like nails on a chalk board. Makes my skin crawl its so loud. You guys should get a can of WD-40 and lube the wheels on it.“

“手工拉面不错，儿童友好，微辣的牛腩面也适合大人，总体不错，五星好评。“

“KV Noodle
KV Noodle is a casual spot known for its flavorful Asian noodle dishes and quick service. The menu offers a variety of noodle soups, stir-fries, and rice bowls with fresh ingredients and bold flavors. Portions are generous, and prices are reasonable, making it a good choice for a fast, satisfying meal. The ambiance is simple and unpretentious, ideal for a casual lunch or dinner. Overall, a solid option for noodle lovers craving authentic, tasty Asian comfort food.“

“I’ve been CEO noodles since its grand opening. Already ordered multiple time for my family and friends. Highly recommend the takeout foods in canned containers if you want to save up for one week in fridge, ask the staff for the canned items, they even give you discount for order over $300. My friends all love the beautiful glass bottles from 8oz to 16oz, especially the veggie appetizer paired with rice,noodle or even salad.“

“No complaints! Came in for a late lunch and the restaurant was still fairly packed. Ordered a Dry Noodle with Ground Pork and it came out within 10 minutes. The noodles had a nice chew and the dish surprisingly wasn't oily overall. Simple and fulfilling! 🍜🐷😋🥢“

“Aburi Shime Saba: (5/5)
The aburi shime saba is the best thing on the menu. It’s lightly poached and the caramelized sugar on top adds the perfect contrast of texture and flavor. I’ve been here a few times to try the appetizers, but the MUST GET item is still this saba.

Uzumakiya Udon: (4/5)
The Uzumakiya Udon is good，the noodles are chewy, not overcooked; and the broth is flavorful. The other toppings leave something to be desired, so if you want to be satisfied, order the Oxtail instead. (Although it’s gotten quite expensive😔）“

“I was super excited to see them open closer to home and the experience did not disappoint. Tried the vegetable ramen, chicken paitan and tantan men ramen with the karage and chilli lime edamame. Same flavors as the SF branch! Loved it- definitely going back.“

“Ox 9 in Cupertino is consistent in quality with all other locations I've tried. I always enjoy the Lanzhou hand-pulled noodles for their noodle texture and broth flavor--incredibly soothing and satisfying. Looking forward to visiting this location more as the weather cools down 🙂‍↕️“

“I was surprised by the large portion sizes. The waitress made great recommendations! Everything looks great, tastes great and this is a great go to spot I’ll go to whenever I am in town!“

“My favorite place for jajangmyeon! Don’t miss the tangsuyuk and jjamppong. Stir-fried jajangmyeon is great for larger groups due to its portion size.

The line gets long during lunch and dinner, so arrive early. The parking lot is small, but there's usually street parking nearby.

Service is quick and efficient, and they’ll box up any leftovers for you.“

“good place，“

“We got the nanjing roasted duck and beef noodle soup here, and they were both very delicious! I would definitely come back here again. The roast duck was cut well, and its skin was very crispy. The sauce was special and complemented the duck well. I can see why this was highly recommended here. As for the beef noodle soup, it was on the sweeter side, and the beef tasted like it was red braised. If we get the same next time, we definitely need to get some plain rice to balance the saltiness and sweetness.“

“The soap was very tasty, it had a lot of flavor and wasn't too salty. The noodles were great as well, they were long and chewy. There was also a good amount of meat and vegs as well. One bowl of soap coated me around 20 dollars before tip and they only took cash.“

“Food is nice and their tomato soup is my kid’s favourite. Their staff is friendly too.“

“Finally tried Thai mama for the 1st time tonight. I’m so impressed, sorry I don’t know your name but the young man taking orders was super helpful & helped me make great choices. Lots of delicious vegan options which makes a nice change. We’ll be back.“

“We love how fresh these buns are manually made. They are delicious with a few different interesting flavors. The spicy mince pork and tofu buns are our favorite. It still tastes good the day after. It may seem pricy, but the portion of each order is large, so it's totally worth the money. Only gets 4 stars from me because the frozen wonton have so little meat. They tasted great though, but not much filling at all. Generally, we're happy with the food and the super fast service. Definitely come back for more bao buns, but probably not the wonton.“

“My mom and brother who live in the neighborhood recommended this restaurant to me and now whenever we come to visit from the right coast, we always come to here to eat or takeout. My brother eats here weekly. They have the kind of favorite dishes from our childhood and their pork-crab roe soup dumplings are the best! I also love their smashed cucumber salad. The service is also great and the servers are friendly and welcoming. We highly recommend it!“

“We were trying to eat at another restaurant but unfortunately Tuesday is a rest day for many restaurants

We got the

extra crispy fried egg rolls 4.5/5 stars

Pho with beef ribs 4/5 stars. my son thought broth a bit bland but I told him he eats too salty. I thought it was fine...Then he agreed it was 4 stars

Very disappointing was the pho ap chao 1star/5 (crispy fried pho noodles with beef). The sauce was very bland. The beef was good(not doctored chemically) but the sauce was very unflavorful.“

“The taste is authentic Thai, especially Som Tum Laab moo and Koh moo yang. The staff are also very nice and have service mind.“

“Excellent service and food“

“Had a really great experience at Dough zone! The cucumbers and green onion pancakes are amazing and so are the dumplings. We have tried the noodles and fried rice as well, and they are good too. Looking forward to trying more of their menu next time!“

“Hole in the wall with the yummiest Hu Tieu in the Bay Area. Very authentic and taste just like something you’d get on the streets of Vietnam. The portion is Huge! I got #1 with soup on the side with a order of yutiao. It came with all the inners and seafood. 10/10 would recommend!
The building might be old, but the food has so much authenticity and vibe is immaculate. Chefs kiss.“

“I passed this restaurant all the time but never gave it any through. Being a rainy day, my wife wanted to try it. I had #5 on the menu, WOW !! Just like how mom uses to make it. It's an authentic original flavor from Vietnam. Not the fusion BS food that's pop-up restaurant is doing now a days. When I went to pay the bill, i looked in the kitchen and saw all the cooks were old in their 60s +, I understood why the flavors brought back memories of the pass. Yes, it's $$, but it's about the same as everywhere now.“

“Omg such good pho. The broth is on point excellent. The noodles are so good. They don’t have the “fresh noodles” but the normal noodles they have taste so fresh it’s amazing. I’ve now had it 4-5 times and every time the noodles amaze me. I’ve been to many pho places as old as this one (my friend told me it’s been here for 30+ years) and they always fall off at the noodle. But not this one. Pho Thi #1. Truly first place.“

“I don’t know who these people are that are giving XLB anything less than 4 stars but we’ve been here countless times and it’s our favorite dim sum in the area! Get to know the owner and you’ll be glad you came here often enough to get to know her. She’s the best! We come here often on Sundays but we also come for lunch on Christmas Eve with our family. Our favorites include the Mixed Cilantro with Dry Shredded Tofu, Mixed Fresh Cucumber with Garlic Sauce, Szechuan Chili Oil Wonton, XLB, Green Onion Pancake, Pea Shoots.“

“For the first time, surprised to discover that there’s such a delicious Chinese restaurant in South San Jose. I ordered two dishes: one salt and pepper fish fillet, and one dry-fried beef chow fun. It was really so delicious! I truly love this Big Fish Restaurant! I must come here often!“

“Went here on New Year’s Eve for a warm bowl and tried both the H4 – Nam Vang and the Filet Mignon pho, both with clear noodles. The Nam Vang came with sliced pork, ground pork, and one prawn in a clean, savory broth—light but flavorful. The filet mignon pho was a solid upgrade: tender beef, silky noodles, and a broth that leaned richer but still easy to sip.
I was craving a vermicelli bowl and bánh mì too, but heads up—they only serve pho. No rice plates or sandwiches. Still, if you’re in the mood for Vietnamese comfort food, this spot delivers fast and clean.“

“We wanted to order the Salt and Chili Grilled Chicken, but it was sold out. We got the Thai Grilled Chicken with Lime Leaf instead, and it was super unique and flavorful, addicting to eat. The whole chicken tray comes with the crispy fried sticky rice cakes, but we got an extra side order and finished all.
The chicken is a special breed, more flavorful than the usual meat chicken.
Don’t be intimidated by how authentic it looks! The menu has english, and it’s unlike any chicken you’ve had.“

“So glad they’re open early. It’s a perfect spot for a comforting bowl of pho to start the day. The broth is rich and flavorful; you don’t need to add a thing. I also love the complimentary tea and the full set of condiments — even culantro, which is such a nice touch. Simple, delicious, and done right!“

“OMG! I have been looking for this flavor for 3 years straight, from Canada to California. This tasted like the noodle soup stores in my grownup neighborhood back in my hometown. This brought back lots of fun memories from childhood.Their Shrimp Wonton Egg Noodle Soup and Shrimp Wonton with Egg Rice Noodle Soup were delicious. The Vietnamese iced milk coffee was strong ?The restaurant was quite small, so the seating was cramped. But, they had both indoor and outdoor seatings.

Vegetarian options: Don’t bother. There’s no vegetarian dishes here.

Kid-friendliness: Kid high chairs

Wheelchair accessibility: Better stay at outdoor seating because the indoor seating is quite cramped.“

“Very good rice noodles！A large portion of food, I have a light taste and my mom prefers more flavor， I ordered the mushrooms and she got the tomato beef, we both are very satisfied the noodles. Staffs are very friendly, they call us immediately when they found my mom left her hat in the restaurant. Very good service!“

“Friendly owner & employees. Clean & quiet“

“Update: 09/25/24
The service was really bad. It was super slow there were only two other tables that were occupied by people dining in alone. They never made any check ins and never came to refill my water. The chicken pho lacks a ton of flavor. The pork sandwich was amazing! By far the best thing! The spring rolls are good as well. Service is 1 star and food would be 3.5.

Amazing pho! Make sure to check this place out!

Vegetarian options: Tons of options

Dietary restrictions: Tons of options

Parking: Tons of spaces

Kid-friendliness: Yes

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“Presentation wasn't great but food was tasty. Price was reasonable. If owner is reading this. You can do so much better with proper bento boxes for your bentos. And sushi rolls on a round plate in 3 long rolls might not be the most eye pleasing.“

“The noodle soups and fried flour cakes are 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽!“

“Got 3 types of okonomiyaki, yakisoba and curry katsu for a party of 5, more than enough food. Favorite okonomiyaki was the ebi (shrimp). Flavorful and not too heavy. The seafood one was a little too heavy with the amount of mayo added. The katsu and yakisoba we're alright. Service was good, friendly waiters! Wait on a Saturday night at 7 was around 15 min.“
