Pho 24 - San Jose

Thoroughly satisfying bowl of pho! My go-to is usually pho tai chin (rare steak and brisket . My friend Wu and I both ordered this with the fresh noodles option. The large size is huge! The steamy broth had a nice fragrance, and had a hint of a anise (from the basil or star anise? .We agreed that the fresh noodles were kind of mushy, and that we'd order the regular noodles the next visit. The meat was good, though not as plentiful as you would expect for a bowl if this size. Service was good, especially since we were the first customers of the lunch crunch. The restaurant was full by the time we left. This is a clean, well-lighted restaurant--a beacon on a chilly day. We'll be back!

Bo luc loc and pho were on point. Not too salty. The presentation was colorful and fresh. Check it out. Clean. Plenty of parking. Friendly service.Food: 5/5

Pho 24 is my go-to place whenever I'm craving Vietnamese food since it's near where I live. The portions are always generous and staff are attentive. My usual order is either the Bun Cha Gio (pork shrimp-stuffed egg rolls with vermicelli) or Pho Do Bien (seafood pho); both which are flavorful and full of flavor. If you order takeout in person and are in a rush, I wouldn't recommend that and would advise calling prior as it can take a while. I noticed that whenever I come in and order to-go, people that come in after and dine there get their orders before me. In regards to ordering takeout, be sure to check your orders before leaving as on some occasions they didn't include all parts of my orders or didn't include extra portions I paid for.

Very decent pho closer to home than Little Saigon. Generous portion that will fill you up in no time. Another plus is I didn't get dry mouth and thirsty in the afternoon so probably no MSG added. Quick service too. Can recommend.Food: 5/5

I came in and a waitress sat me down to the table 1 which is next to the entrance. A group of 8 people came in right after me. The waitress happily helped them and set up their table. She walked by me twice and continued to ignore me. I patiently waited to get a menu. Two additional customers came in. The same waitress sat them at table 2, which was next to mine. She also got their table set up. Another two customers came. A different waitress greeted them. That waitress approached my table and asked me to move to a different table for those new customers. I came in before all of them but couldn’t even get a menu but yet you wanted me to move. I told the waitress in Vietnamese that I got in before all those table and I couldn’t even get a menu. The waitress asked me to be understanding. Understand what?
