Came here for the veggie pho... best veggie pho Ive eaten in the Bay Area so far. Chock full of vegetables and they provide two thick sauces to flavor it. Yum!

Note: this is the brick and mortar store for Plant-Based Vegan Vietnamese restaurant, as well as Big Bites Vietnamese Eatery. They have two separate menus on GrubHub and PBVV is shown as in the Safeway on Google Maps but is not really there.As you can see by the aforementioned note we were all confused when we got here as to whether or not this was the right place. My wife ordered food from GrubHub here earlier in the week and she enjoyed the food, so we decided to go back so that I could try for myself.We each ordered a bowl of Veggie Pho, apparently you can order Faux Chicken Pho off the Plant Based Vegan Vietnamese menu, but it is not on the in-store menu. We also ordered veggie egg rolls and shrimp toast as an appetizer. The food came out quickly and was served with a small paper plate of basil, bean sprouts, limes, and three slices of jalapeño.Egg roll review: crisp outside, mushy inside, standard sweet and sour sauce. Came fresh from the fryer, the crispy outside was the only plus to this dish and didnt carry it very far. Flavor was ok, a bit lacking, too many cellophane noodles making the insides too soft. Generously 2 out of 5 stars.Shrimp Toast: also delivered fresh from the fryer, very crispy outside, but just tasted like frying oil. Dipped in the green ranch(?) tasted better, but did nothing to cut through the greasiness. 1 out of 5 stars.Veggie Pho: broth was actually ok. I prefer regular beef broth, but for a veggie broth it was ok. Plenty of noodles, but too many big chunks of horse carrot! I found myself just eating bite after bite of hunks of carrot that it dominated and took over the flavor of the entire dish and really ruined the bowl of noodles. 2 out of 5 very generously given.All in all the food was not very good and the prices were equivalent to any other Pho house in San Jose, around $15 for a bowl of lack luster noodles, plus more for tasteless fried food. Based on the variety of other Vegan cuisine in the area I would recommend going somewhere else for vegan cuisine. If you are going for Vietnamese food keep driving till youre in San Jose to get your fix.

Ordered some catering from this place to the office and while the portions were large, food wasn’t very flavorful. Ordered the papaya salad with shrimp and the sauce was very mild. Was looking for additional spice or umami fish sauce. Prices for catering are also pretty high and the food quality didn’t quite match up.

You can really taste the difference with the grass fed filet mignon pho! Food is generally pretty great. And this is a small pro - but their take out containers are all paper/plant based, which is easy on the planet and your health.

They *never* get your order right if you ask for anything different (eg. ask for no cilantro and youll get cilantro).This only seems to be a problem when the owner is there (the other employees dont have this issue) ... but sadly the owner is usually there

Ordered Vegetarian Pho ToGo. The packing was simply superb. Each segment of the noodle soup is well packed. The broth is also vegetarian. Great portions of rice noodle, vegetables and the flavor makers like basil leaves, lime, etc. It also came with hot and sweet sauces. Overall, a yummy Pho.

This place is reminiscent of a Cafe with its walk up order kiosk and delivery of food.Located in the Bailey shopping plaza, one might get dinner and then shop.The dish I ordered, the bun bo hue, came out on a cafeteria style platter and bowl.The portion, relative to the bowl, was small and much of the bowl I filled with sprouts and cabbage.The temperature of my food was lukewarm and it was not spicy like it should be.This place is expensive, $16.95, for my bowl.

Honestly, I like it. Is it comparable to San Jose pho? No, not really. But it hits a certain level of comfort that is adequate.The pork egg rolls are good, just plain and simple with a bit of sweet and sour sauce. Havent been disappointed as of yetThe seafood pho is my go-to. Comes with a small meaty crab claw, several shrimps, and a slab of cuttlefish. Its got variety and most importantly, its good.Service here has been pretty good when it comes to take out. Never missed anything essential and everything was carefully packaged.

This place is fantastic. Fresh food, big portions and friendly service. I never had mock beef before so the lovely lady let me try it before I placed my order. Highly recommended as it offers a great value all around.

True to its name, these are definitely big portions. its about $15 for a bowl of noodles and beef, and while the flavor is spot on it needs to have more sauce and the meat is too dry. still better than average
