I went to Pho Now recently and had a good experience. I ordered the basic pho, large size, and it was solid—comforting and flavorful. I also tried the grilled short rib rice plate, which was delicious. The restaurant itself is spacious with bright lighting and high ceilings, which made it feel open and welcoming.
One of the fun surprises was the robot that came around to serve water and bean sprouts for the pho — it gave the place a cool, modern vibe. There are big TVs on both sides of the dining area that show videos of food being prepared in different places, including right there in the restaurant, which was fun to watch as we ate.
Service was friendly and smooth. You order at the table and then pay at the counter. They even give out lollipops when you check out, which I thought was a nice touch. Parking is plentiful in the lot, so getting in and out was no problem.
The only thing I’d mention is that it’s a little on the pricey side, but for the quality, atmosphere, and service, I think it’s worth it. Overall, I really liked it here and would give Phi Now 5 stars for this genre of food and dining experience.
August 2025 update: We liked it so much I came back again a month later. This time we tried the beef rib pho and a vermicelli bowl. The beef rib is a huge chunk of meat! Really tender, really tasty. And the vermicelli bowl was filling and flavorful. Very satisfying meal.

First time visit with the wife. Got ourselves the Bun Tom,Thit Nuong, Cha Gio and Pho tai, nam, gan, & bo vien with a side order of the ribs.
Bun tom thit nuong: meat was marinated very well and the nuoc mam was made tastefully which complimented the vermicelli. The cha gio (eggroll) is fried perfectly (not dry). I would suggest this dish to anyone if its your first go around.
Pho: Each restaurant/chef have their own way of making the broth and it varies based on the spices and technic used. Pho was nicely blended with herbs and spices but nothing special that stands out. Don't get me wrong. The pho was good but nothing special. Also, if your an avid pho eater, it is mandatory to get hanh giam hanh beo (chicken fat & sliced onion in vinegar). To be fair, I'm TREMENDOUSLY picky when it comes to pho and its broth. The rib could be simmered longer. Rib was a bit chewy. But all and all, good restaurant and nice ambience to try and visit. I will be a returning customer to try your other dishes!

I just had dinner there by myself I had the spring rolls, and vermicelli pork and shrimp dish very delishes, the food was outstanding but service was very poor... service can either make it break for me, as went to pay after my meal I had a young lady with bleached hair making a shirk at me, making me feel very uncomfortable. I don't plan to return to business that does not appreciate my presence.

Newly-ish opened?
Flavor is good and comparable to other highly rated Pho places in San Jose.
**Personally, I thought they were a little stingy on the meats for my pho bowl in comparisons to other highly rated pho places in San Jose.
