Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near San Jose

Gary Eng W. • August 17, 2014Yummy crusty bread! The #7 (egg & grilled pork) is the best. Comes in large ($4.50) and small ($2.75) but definitely go for the large. You can also get an egg-only banh mi (not on the menu) for $3.25.

An S. • October 29, 2022Short rib pho is 💯, tender meat, huge rib, so worth it (you can get an extra short rib for only $8!) Always get the flat noodles

Mike A. • September 15, 2017Ginger fish is amazing. So is the eggplant. Actually, it’s all amazing! Owner/waiter is hilarious, and don’t overlook this place just because of its neighbourhood.

Lizy • November 4, 2019It doesn’t matter what happens, don’t let the menu confuse your self, you have to order a PARRILLADA, the best meat and you can mix It with a Sangria, so delicious 🍹
