This place happened to be nearby when I was a rush to look for something to eat in the area. I wasn't sure what to expect, as I normally don't eat vegetation food. But to my surprise, the food was actually really good and affordable, I would come again if I was in the area!! My owner was also really sweet and nice~ My mom got their Pho, and I got their Bun Hue, both costing $13. Both of the broths were very flavorful and light, with none of the heavy oiliness. The skewers were also really tasty!

Was looking for a vegan friendly place for a friend visiting. It's a small hole in the wall Mom and Pops kind of place. The service was nice. It was our first time. But we both quite liked it. We ordered the Bun Bo Hue Noodles. It had a good flavor that was deep. Everything inside was pretty yummy. If you like a comforting savory soup, this is for you! Will for sure be back with my husband. I preferred sitting inside because the outside is a bit scary hah Lunch time gets busy so go early. And theres only a few tables inside. Private lot in back of store

Amazing vegan food at an unbeatable price!! One of my new favorites. Server was so nice and I had to remind him to let me tip, lol! It's a little cramped inside but it just feels cozy.

Cheap, fast, easy, super-plentiful portions, close to SJSU (if you're a student or visiting), and probably relatively healthy as far as foods go. I was in the area and so I visted. Very friendly service and the operator tried to explain every single dish to me that I ordered in my combo special just to make sure that I was getting what I wanted. This was very educational because I am not really that well-informed about this cuisine. Not exactly necessary for me because I was pretty assured that I would like everything on the menu even if I didn't know what it was, but potentially very helpful for picky eaters. The food is vegan but I largely didn't notice, except for one dish - which I honestly thought was /better/ than the original meat version. I had a three item combo with the following: 1. Vietnamese Chow Mein. I am not sure what this is called in Vietnamese, but it tasted a lot healthier than the Chinese version, which I think was good because the lack of extremely heavy oils and what not allowed the natural flavors of the vegetables and herbs to come out better. They gave me a lot of this. 2. Curry Potato. I liked it well enough. The curry was not particularly overwhelming - it didn't really need a staple dish to pair with it. Just the curry and potato and vegetables by themselves made a good dish. Nice! 3. Braised Tofu Eggplant. At least I think it was braised. Very flavorful. Came with these nice little Chinese-style peppers that added a kick. The tofu was unusually NOT bland - the sauce on it did the perfect trick. Eggplant soaked up the sauce as eggplant often does and made a good pairing with the chow mein. 4. Chicken drumstick. I'm not sure if this was something I paid for or not or just something extra they gave me. It was pretty good. Like really good. I don't know what they did with it, but it seems herbs/spices were interlaced into the not-meat. This actually made it significantly better than most chicken, which I'm going to be honest is often just kind of bland. All of this ran me $14 combined (tax/tip/etc.) Good deal! Cheaper than the fast food Asian food boxes you get at even most grocery stores these a days! Only downside is that it's kind of hard to find parking around the area. It's like within walking distance of SJSU, which kind of inherently makes parking challenging... I have heard GREAT things about the bon bo hue, so that will be what I try next!
