I've been to Vung Tau 3 many times, and it's great. Vung Tau 2 is just as good. Everything is always fresh and delicious.

I never write reviews like ever but this restaurant used to be one of my favorites. Their San Jose location was peak service, atmosphere, and food. Then the pandemic hit and they closed that location down so I try to go to the Milpitas restaurant every so often. My lord. The one server (and you'll know who she is when you go) is so irritating she practically tried to feed one of the folks at our table by hand and couldn't let us just sit there for a minute to eat. Constantly harassing us the whole time. The only redeeming factor was their egg rolls. I get the craving every so often. They make really good ones but everything else has dipped dramatically in quality. The last experience soured my opinion so much, it'll be at least two years before I go back.

I ordered papaya salad that costs over $14 and requested that they make it Thai spicy (very spicy) when it arrived to my place, I opened it up, it wasn’t what I expected. I’m not sure if this is Vietnamese style papaya salad or what? If so, they should put a print on it (Vietnamese style) and even though if that was Vietnamese style, how does one just throw soil sauce in a bowl of papaya and call it papaya salad? There was the papaya, jerky on top of the papaya, I think there was mints on top of beef jerky, only 1 whole Thai red chili pepper(not even crushed) and get this, 1 cup of soil sauce. Not even tried to toss or meshed the salad. I had to bite pepper and the so called papaya salad tasted like I drank a cup of soil sauce. If I wanted to taste soil sauce, I would just go in my kitchen and pour me a glass of it. Where is the tomato and the fish sauce and the other ingredients that supposedly be in the salad? Maybe, Google on how to make papaya salad. The worst papaya salad I’ve tasted in my life. I gave it 1 star for making it to my place in time.

Good is good but the woman server (owner of the restaurant) is horrible, we have been there many times and she recognize us, but every time we go there and order, the sarcasm from the lady is just bad service and attitude. We stopped going just because of her horrible service and attitude.

This is our go to spot for banh khot … shrimp cups! They are so good wrapped with lettuce and mint leaves. Spoon over some of the sauce … delicious! The banh khot comes out nice and hot and crispy. We always order two lol and lately we also ordered the shrimp on sugarcane with the rice wrapper to make our own shrimp rolls! Fast and friendly service. Also plays great music while eating!

Our group of 5 people went for a late lunch on Father's day. It was after the rush. The restaurant is ordinary. We were seated within a reasonable time but that was where it stopped. After 15 minutes, I got up and found 2 menus at a nearby empty table. After another 15 minutes I went to the waiter to request service. We had not had even a glass of water. My friends were not impressed. I was embarrassed for suggesting this place. The food was very slow. The food was good. It seems that the take out orders were filled before ours. We asked for 2 separate checks. The waiter just shrugged. When the check came, it was all together. We had to go to the cashier to ask her to split it up. This is not a language misunderstanding since I spoke Vietnamese with the waiter.

Vegetarian options: My husband had a vegetarian curry. It was white, not yellow. I don't know if it tasted like curry but the food came so slow, he was so hungry, he ate it all.

Parking: Free parking lot but there are so many stores here that parking is hard to find. We finally parked on the other side of Lion Food Market.

Nice dessert! And delicious Banh Dap wide crispy noodles!

My favorite Vietnamese restaurant. Great seafood and rice wrap

Today - shocking to me - I paid 22.99 for seabass clay pot . And i got a tiny piece of salty fish with nothing else!!

The staff was so friendly and helpful. They set up outdoor seating for us when I asked if outdoor dining was available. It’s a family business and our server (Jan) recommended a lot of items. You could tell how proud she was of each dish! The food was excellent!
