Expensive and not really that good. I’ve had better and larger pho for cheaper in SF which is crazy to say in SJ. The people I was with also weren’t super impressed with their dishes.
For context, the pho cost 17.50 and was smaller than some small bowls at other places.

One of our comfortable food spot, especially when no one is open in the afternoon. No 6 is just a bigger portion of no 5. The soup is thick but warm. Full of flavor. The only downside is probably yes you can see there are crab meats but no, you probably won’t be able to taste them anyway but the soup is strong flavored. Make sure you add Chinese donut to it too. We also love the hot crepe roll during the weekend. Perfect between the crunchiness, favor, and freshness. Cash only. Tips are appreciated.

I haven't had banh canh before, so it's hard for me to make a judgement on how good it is compared to other places, but I found the noodles to be chewy and cooked well, the soup the be thick and flavourful, and there was a lot of different meats in there (pork feet, shrimp, crab, etc.) They did not skimo on the portions

Very good authentic food I happened to be there on Saturday, and I ordered the Bánh canh cua bowl, the noodle is right not too chewy not too soft, the crab meat is tasty and full of flavor, must be freshly cooked from real crab, not out of the can. I really recommend it and will be back when I happen to be in the area.

Han said number 5 feels like the ocean and number 10 feels like the lake and i agree ? we shared the food and said good bye to our friend ☹️☹️

This Udon is made from sesame powder and tastes good. Add more lemon juice to make it more appetizing.
It's been my go-to for years for Bánh Canh Cua :) I've introduced many friends who keep coming back here. They now take Venmo or Zelle compared to previously being cash only.
Parking: Parking spots are very compact w many cars who don't part centered.
The very best Vietnamese Udon real Crab meat soup in the Bayarea. The broth is thick and excellent flavor the blended seafood ball are great and you can even get a Maine Lobster claw add on. The service is exceptional and when they are short staffing or very busy, the owners husband and wife couple lend a hand. The never have done Credit card but since Covid the take Venmo and PayPal. During a cold winter morning it’s very satisfying breakfast.

Pretty interesting bowl of noodles. I thought the noodles is going to be spicy, but it's not. Interesting flavor and it's worth trying.They are cash only or venmo. Ended up paying $25 for this.

Awesome spot for bánh canh in San Jose.
I personally don't like when people call bánh canh "Vietnamese udon." Udon is made from wheat flour. Bánh canh noodles are made from tapioca and rice flour. Moreover, they're of completely different textures and taste widely different. To call it "udon" is a disgrace to Vietnamese cuisine.
I usually get the #5 (banh canh cua dac biet - $15.75) with crab, shrimp, and pork knuckle. The broth is here is thiccc and pork-y. Ain't nothing like a pork knuckle in a savory soup broth. Also, a side of chao quay/you tiao/Chinese donut is typically eaten with banh canh - it costs $3 here.
Amazing family-owned spot in San Jose serving the best banh canh!
