“Good little pork pate chauds $1.25 here. We ordered eight of the square ones and four of the triangle ones. We already ate some Cambodian noodles earlier but found room for some pate chauds. These will probably not be good the next day so we had to hurry. We ate all of them on the way from SJ to SF. Good times.“

Made our Christmas dinner, so thanks Honey Baked!“

“I'm no expert on vietnamese dessert but love everything we got. We recently went to Vietnam so at least we have some reference point.We got the Che Thai (no ice, prepacked cups on the table). They all have coconut cream with different "toppings" marked in vietnamese. The one we got has jellies, tapioca, and tapioca mochi balls filled with mung bean paste. We love the combination of flavors and texture without being too sweet.I also grabbed a box of agar jellies. It's layered with mung bean and taro. Also delicious, and not too sweet.Banh Mi was cheap and delicious. I got the grilled pork one (#3) and the balance of bread to meat and toppings is also great.They also sell che (icy drink) and tofu pudding (tau hu).There was a constant stream of customers so it looks like a locals favorite. Parking lot is tiny but it right next to the Lions Supermarket.“

“My visit to Gio Cha Duc Huong in San Jose was a great stop for authentic Vietnamese street food. This small deli-style shop is well known locally for its banh mi sandwiches and traditional Vietnamese meat items like cha lua and other pork specialties.

The place has a simple and busy atmosphere, more like a takeaway shop than a sit-down restaurant. I ordered a banh mi sandwich, and it was very satisfying. The bread was crispy on the outside and soft inside, while the filling had a great balance of savory meats, fresh vegetables, and herbs. The flavors felt very authentic and reminded me of classic Vietnamese street food.

One thing I noticed was how popular the shop is. There were several people waiting in line, which is always a good sign for a local deli like this. The portions were generous and the prices were very reasonable, making it a great spot for a quick and affordable meal.

Overall, Gio Cha Duc Huong is a solid choice if you’re craving Vietnamese sandwiches and traditional deli items in San Jose. The food is flavorful, authentic, and definitely worth trying.“
