Phở Nguyễn - Milpitas

Very yummy pho house with lots of variety-good menu. The bowls are large and the food is great. Crowded during Mon thru Fri at lunchtime. Good healthy choices and some very nice appetizers that are not so good for the cholesterols.

Clean environment. I am surprised at the many detailed photos. It’s a Vietnamese restaurant in a Chinese populated area so it’s understandable. Parking was easy. 4 stars is for over all before tasting.

It's hard to stand out in South Bay as a Vietnamese restaurant. Pho Nguyen has a few things going for it. It's clean. The service is nice and the food is quite good. Ox tail seems to be a specialty here. I tried bun bo hue with ox tails. It's pretty tasty with good serving size. My daughter tried bun with grilled pork. The meat was tasty too. My wife tried the traditional pho. It's good. One thing you can tell if the pho is good is if the side of the raw bean sprouts and basil leaves are fresh. And they are here. Good place. Recommend!

We sometimes eat here for convenience. Today was for dinner. I ordered the Pho Tai Sach, which had been my usual pho order at all pho restaurants. Their pho has been usually a tad on the sweeter side for us but with generous meat and sach. Overall, 3.5/5. The Hu Tieu soup was decent and good, nothing special but they did provide 2 quail eggs and more meat vs othe places, 3.5/5. Spring rolls, decent and average (seems to have gotten shorter), nothing special or wow. The peanut sauce was ok, 3/5. Our server was impatient and didn't listen well to our order this time. Customer service was made much better by the owner's son, which he usually provided great service. 4/5.

The pho here comes in two sizes- large and small, but don't be fooled. The small is still a hefty serving and would actually considered a large in most places. You definitely get a good value for your money here-one bowl will probably fill you up for the rest of the day, and that's not even including what meats you get. In a time of widespread shrinkflation where it seems like everyone is raising prices and decreasing sizes, places like this are all the more important to support. Oh yeah, and the service is speedy quick too-I ordered and had it in front of me in less than 10 minutes. Pretty easy to do with soup, but still worth mentioning.
