Tucked away in the corner of a nondescript shopping plaza in San Jose’s Little Saigon district, this quaint Vietnamese restaurant serves some delicious beef rib pho, with a super flavorful soup and the perfect noodle-to-soup ratio. The Wagyu beef hot pot was also very tasty, with a great presentation and high quality beef. Friendly and efficient service. Large free parking lot.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5-Star Review for Pho Nhat Minh Pho Nhat Minh truly delivers when it comes to pho. The broth is excellent—rich, flavorful, and incredibly tasty, with that slow-simmered depth you hope for in a great bowl of pho. The portions are generous, with a lot of meat that’s tender and satisfying in every bite. Their Thai iced tea is just as impressive. It’s authentic and freshly brewed, not powdered, and you can clearly taste the creamy sweetness of real condensed milk. It’s the perfect complement to an already outstanding meal. If you’re looking for high-quality pho with bold flavors and generous portions, Pho Nhat Minh is definitely worth a visit. Highly recommended! 🍜🥤

My wife and I tried Pho Naht Minh for the first time and really enjoyed our meal. We ordered the number 18, 29, and 1C and everything came out fresh and tasty. The number 18 had a really good broth with the traditional pho ingredients and flavors. The number 29 (Sườn Bò) only came with one rib even though the menu photo and other reviews showed two so maybe something changed or you have to pay extra for the second but the flavor was still excellent. The fresh spring rolls were standard but the peanut sauce was nice since it was warmed. We also appreciated how clean and modern the utensils were. Service was great too the waitress was friendly and professional, though it would've been nice to been offered more water. Overall a solid spot.

This was our 1st visit, 8/16/2025, to this restaurant since the ownership change. It is clean and less crowded with tables and fake plants than before. My wife enjoyed the pho with seafood. I loved my pho tai #9. The broth was flavorful and there was plenty of lean steak. We especially appreciated the new restaurant promotion that gave us both a free Vietnamese iced coffee with condensed milk with our pho purchase. We will return to try more from the menu.

Tried Pho Nhat Minh recently. We ordered Bun Bo Hue, Pho Suon Bo, and some egg rolls. Everything came out really fast and the staff was super friendly, so service-wise it was great. Flavor-wise, it was okay — the broth wasn’t as rich or bold as I usually like, but that might actually make it easier for people who aren’t used to strong Vietnamese flavors to enjoy. The egg rolls weren’t my favorite, but overall it was a decent meal and the quick service made it a good spot if you want something warm and filling without waiting too long.
