Cozy, neighborhood restaurant serving SJSU area. 10/01/2025: BOGO for the mini noodle soup (mi go), which made it super affordable, at $7.99 per bowl
I got the $12.99 noodles a la carte is it was delicious! I added the bean sprouts on the side for a buck. Definitely recommend! It’s a hearty meal.
We came pretty early and the place was quiet; lots of parking in the lot. It was most delicious pork noodle soup I’ve ever had! The soup was clear and non greasy which is uncommon with pork broths. I ordered the H5 soup and the bowls were massive! I was about to explode by the end of it. Staff were incredibly friendly as well and very attentive! Highly recommend!
Friends recommended this for hu tieu. There are many combinations of items you can order for your bowl. Friends ordered soup and cuon. All pretty tasty, drinks are nice as well. Parking is available in their lot. Service is nice.
