Pho Queen Noodle House is a beloved Vietnamese restaurant located in San Jose, CA, known for its authentic pho and seafood dishes. Established with a vision to bring traditional Vietnamese flavors to the Bay Area, Pho Queen has become a go-to spot for locals seeking a comforting bowl of pho and other Vietnamese delicacies. With a history dating back over two decades, this family-owned establishment has garnered a loyal following, thanks to its dedication to quality ingredients and customer satisfaction. Review highlights often mention the fast service, generous portions, and the unique seafood pho that sets it apart from other eateries in the area.

Turns out Pho Queen is our go-to place for pho and really good strong viet coffee. I drive past Pho Queen to and from work and finally told the girlfriend to join me for lunch here. She said she was not in the mood for pho but that is a ridiculous thing to say....not in a mood for pho? pfft I got the chicken pho and she ordered the beef stew, spring roll and viet coffee absent the condensed milk. The food was great and the coffee had a good kick. I ended up drinking the coffee while she left to wash her hands.

Decent place for group meals as the restaurant looks like it can accommodate in space. Went out for a work lunch and food was enjoyable. I got a pork chop rice plate and my coworkers got pho. Service is quick and they are ready to take your order from the moment you arrive. Got in an hour before the lunch rush and it was nice to see the place moderately full while we are eating.

Finally got to try this place. My mom lives across the street and always cooks at home, so whenever I visit I never get to try it ! But here for work and ordered it for pickup, was ready in only like 5 minutes, super fast. Got the #6 and the crab egg rolls. The pho was piping hot, meat look great, and plenty of Thai basil. The eggs rolls were also so crispy and I love dipping it into the fish sauce. There was only one piece of lettuce and it was wilted, maybe from the heat. I also got coconut water ($6 for 12oz, ouch). Only reason it got 4 stars was the wilted lettuce and overcharged coconut water. I also asked for a large order of the egg rolls so not sure why I only got 3. But the lady was so nice. I would definitely return.

I stopped by this Pho spot for lunch today. I ordered the large number 13 lean well done brisket pho. The food came out fast, and I was done eating in 20 mins, so it's a great lunch spot, especially if you are in a time crunch. The food was delicious, and the serving size was a bit larger than I was expecting. However, the chili oil was pretty old on the table, and the hoisen sauce wouldn't come out of the bottle. It was crusted close. Also, the cashier did not enter the order in the register and my menu numbers did not match the receipt numbers and I was charged $1 more than the menu price and so was my friend who joined me. All in all, I would come back because of the food itself, but if they overcharge me again, then I probably won't be coming back.

This place has some long history in the Bay Area, I think at least way back to 2001. I was told it was a good Vietnamese pho place back then. Fast forward 20+ years and this is now my second visit. On a Tuesday lunch hour this place is a bit empty, um... We are a big party so we got the attention and service quickly. Service of water is fast as well and our table was quickly loaded up with bean sprouts and the drink. The owner came quickly to take our order and he has his funny way of refusing us to help him double check our orders, as if we shouldn't be questioning his expertise. Food came quickly. For #20, the dry noodle, it was ok and some of us complained that it's too dry and needs more sauce. For rice plates, I tried #40 with grilled shrimps and pork chop. The grill was fine, the shrimp and pork has good grill flavor. The soup that comes with it tasted slightly funny, either the seasoning is off or not fresh. Funny that when I mentioned this place later to a Vietnamese coworker, he commented that it wasn't a very good place. I think it is average.

Decent Viet food in Sunnyvale. There aren't many choices near by bf's work so he comes here often. +1 for the fast service and the amount of meat they provide for the dishes! No frills. Just food to fill your belly.

I had the Beef Noodle Pho special combo number 3 and it is AMAZING. You have to come here and try it. The service was tremendous and the people were very sweet, kind and professional. I can promise you that you won't be disappointed‼

I don't know how this place only has 3 stars. Maybe because the staff doesn't really speak English. The service is great and the food awesome. Have already been back for more.

I left the restaurant feeling like I have been robbed. I ordered a large #6 (rare steak slices pho $20). The food was good but did not fit the criteria to be called a large. Large means to them is a bigger bowl and more broth. The noodles and meat portions stay the same for all sizes? So when you're 5 minutes into eating your large pho, you're already done with the main ingredients and have a bowl full of broth. There was only 5 rare steak slices and half a block of noodles! You're better off just getting bowls below a large to save your money.

Introducing the QUEEN of seafood pho in the Bay- Pho Queen! Honestly hu tieu (seafood pho) is pretty rare to find in most pho restaurants, and it's hard to get the flavor and ingredients right. Pho Queen is known for their seafood pho- a comforting, hearty bowl of assorted crab claws, shrimp, and thinly sliced pork on a bed of fresh rice noodles. The broth had absolutely no hint of MSG, and the freshness of the seafood and onions even gave the broth the most unique and subtle hint of sweetness that I have never tasted in any other bowl of pho I've tried. Beyond that, they even use REAL (and super fresh) snow crab claws!! Don't really know any other pho place that does this anymore (last time was like more than 10 years ago, and I know I'm totally aging myself here LOL) Personally, it was pretty sad to see how this family owned restaurant was suffering so heavily from the COVID-19 pandemic, especially since the usual lunch crowd from the nearby tech businesses are nonexistent now. If you're in the peninsula area, I really encourage you to check this place out- you won't be disappointed with your fresh and filling meal, and most importantly, we can work together to put a smile on the owner's face!
