Con:
I didn’t expect to have a pho below $15 as it’s 2025 now. But I still feel $18.25+ tax+ tip little pricy. Maybe It’s on me too poor

A small bowl of Pho is around $16-$17. For the taste I’ll say the price is expensive….the wrap of spring roll is drying out when it was brought to the table.

I recently visited Pho Bel Air in San Jose, and it was an overall decent experience. The restaurant had a clean and inviting atmosphere, and the staff was friendly and attentive.
I ordered the classic beef pho, and while the broth was flavorful and aromatic, it could have been a bit hotter. The portion size was generous, and the meat was tender, but I felt the noodles were slightly overcooked.
They're bit pricey for the quality and portions served. It's not the best pho I've had, but it’s a solid choice if you're in the area and craving Vietnamese food.

I only got spring rolls to go so admittedly it is a small sample of what the restaurant offers. The rolls were delicious, tightly wrapped (though not taste related, it is a sign that they know what they are doing) and fresh. I always prefer them with fish sauce over the peanut sauce that typically accompanies this dish; the sauce was a bit sweet for my taste but flavorful. Service was quick and friendly.

I asked if it was Vietnamese condensed milk coffee and the staff said it was, so I ordered it and they dissolved G7 in hot water for me.
The coffee tasted the worst and was more expensive than Starbucks.
They charge $7 for G7!!

Such a good pho shop! One of the best I have ever eaten at. The staff were incredibly friendly and fast, the pho had loads of meat, and the broth was out of this world.
You absolutely get what you pay for. I also recommend the spring rolls. The sauce was amazing.

Got the #15. Food was out in literally 2 minutes. Pretty solid pho!
So far my best pho location in San Jose so far. The service was great, the food even better. I came on a really hot day, only my crazy ass would be eating pho on a 100+ degree day. Regardless, it was delicious. Great portions and price was good for being in a busy spendsive location. Definitely will be coming back when I pass by san jose again.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Pho Bel Air is always our first stop after leaving the airport. We live in NYC, and no pho place there compares! The food is delicious (we order combo pho and shrimp/pork vermicelli). The meat is tender and flavorful, and not to mention, the portions are extremely generous. The staff is always friendly, and service is quick! Best mom and pop shop in SJ!
