The best one in town. Tasty and no compromise Pho. We love this place by local’s recommendation.Service is ok. It is fast and authentic. Most importantly, the food is really good. I love to try Pho everywhere and this is the best one I have ever had in Bay Area.
We got Bun Cha Ca Thit Nuong (grilled fish and BBQ pork with thin noodles) and Pho Duoi Bo (rice noodle soup with oxtail).I thought the oxtail pho was ok. I didn't really like the soup.I really enjoyed the grilled fish but the BBQ pork was ok. If I were to come here again I would just order the grilled fish only dish.
I went today due to huge amount of recommendations in both google and Yelp reviews, different people has different taste preferences, to me, not surprised for the broth among all the pho that i tried, more like a home cooked dish instead of a pho restaurant, they didn’t offer a special house hot sauce but I do like their freshness and quick serve, will try grilled fish next time.Updated May2022: I actually love this place after tried couple of time more, always out of stock for #31 and #32. Overall, this is my top 3 pho go to place in this area ~
I started having pho here back in the ‘80s. But I have not been here for a long, long time even before the pandemic. Finally, we went last Sunday. At 11:15 AM, it was already hard to find a parking space. Once inside the restaurant, we were seated quickly and orders were also taken quickly. The pho came in no time at all. But they were not hot and full of MSG. Paying the bill was a pain since there was only one slow and rude lady at the cashier. The price was very good but the portion was small. I will not go back to this restaurant again.
Very nice remodel and expansion!We were sad when they closed down during the pandemic. Obviously they took that time for a major remodel and expansion. So fresh and so clean. Now they also have covered outdoor seating as well. Food is awesome as always.
Prices are fair and food was decent. Had the oxtail soup around 1:30 pm Wednesday and it could have been softer. Maybe if I ate here for dinner, who knows. Pork chop rice plate was good.
I'm so glad I live very close to this place. Pho Kim Long is one of the best Pho restaurants in San Jose. You immediately realize how popular this place by looking at the heavy traffic during dinner time, even though this is one of the biggest Pho restaurants in San Jose. The line is always out the door at dinner time or during the weekend.I rarely ever eat the any of the other dishes here, mostly just come here for the Pho. On the rare occasion I do get something else apart from Pho, its not disappointing. The broth is always consistent, tastes just right, never too salty or like its full of MSG. The meat is also just perfect, very tender and never tastes stale or rubbery. The portions are generous providing a great value and the food comes out very fast...I'm talking fast food fast!My usual go to is the Large or Regular #1, very satisfying combo with a little bit of everything in it.Some of the other dishes I devoured:~ 25. BÚN BÒ XÀO TÔM NƯỚNG. BBQ shrimp and fried beef with thin noodle - 4/5
My first time here and believe me on a wintery night your best choice is to have pho. Well we ordered Pho Tai Chin, Pho Taiand Bun thit nuong cha gio. For drinks we ordered fresh coconut water with coconut slices and green tea. Make sure you add Sriracha sauce and Hoicin sauce mixed while you eat your pho, you will never regret it.
Have been recommended this place by friends for a long time and finally got the chance to go. Enjoyed that they gave enough noodles when usually I'm left hungry. I also really enjoyed the beef it was very tender! Last but not least the soup was the right amount of flavor.Only side note but enough to take off a star was it was very busy the the staff kept forgetting to bring us ice we asked for.
It's a great place to have kind of meal that can warm you especially during this cold season. The Pho ia great with various of choices and in big size portion. Add more veg to make your soup more delicious.
