Pho Almaden,

4954 Almaden Expy #30, San Jose, CA 95118, United States

"I went here for a solo lunch the other day and had a good experience. The pho broth was on the sweeter side but I love that you can smell the aromatic spices in the broth. I ordered the #1 bowl and the meat/noodle portions were good. Even though the pho bowls only come in one size which was a generous portion, I wish there were more size options to accommodate different people’s appetites. The service was very quick and straightforward. Overall, it’s a solid pho place for the SSJ area."

"I thought the pho was okay, nothing to rave about. We stopped by here because it was along our route. We both ordered the bun bo hue and we noticed how inconsistent the spiciness was. One bowl was obviously more red than the other. Prices seem very fair though!"

"It's been a long time since I've tried Vietnamese food with so much flavor and a unique seasoning and taste to the regular places (I'm a fan of their cuisine, so I constantly try new places). They have a diverse menu, but it's evident that they specialize in each option that they offer. The restaurant is spacious, clean, and well-lit with natural light. The pleasant background music adds to the ambiance, and the staff is friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. Yesterday, I enjoyed fresh veg rolls and tofu & vegetables chow mein and my friend had a grilled pork sandwich, and he just devoured it. I am looking forward to going again!"

"A solid pho place given its location! The filet mignon tomato rice was really flavorful and even though it doesn't look like much it can fill you up easily! Although they kind of forgot to give me the soup to go with it.... The place is relatively clean and condiments are plentiful and easy to use and grab! Prices range from $15-25."
