Phuong Nam Restaurant

New update to my previous review from last year. Phuong Nam is my favorite restaurant in San Jose. Been to San Jose 3 times, ate at Phuong Nam 6 times. My go to is cơm bò lóc lạc, cơm sườn bò đại hạn. #83, #84. The bò nướng lá lót is another good one. #57. The food tastes great. I eat here once a week if I lived in this state. Phuong Nam uses very fresh ingredients and high quality meats. The filet Mignon melts in your mouth. Everything is cooked fresh to order. Highly recommended.

Great place to try out vietnamese foods

Từ nhỏ đến giờ tôi chưa ăn quán nào ngon như quán này Parking: Parking rất rộng rãi

The food actually tastes pretty good and they open relatively late. An extensive menu, probably more than 60 dishes. But the issue really comes down to price. Each dish on my review costs around $20. You can see there isn't much, especially for the chicken cartilage. Three dishes ended up around $66 after taxes so yeah, it is expensive.

This place was highly recommended to me by my sister. She said that she and my mom had an amazing dining experience here last month. So today I called in to order food and was told that it should be ready in about 20-30 mins. I went there to pick it up and the place was clean and spacious. I love the chill vibe on a Sunday night. I’ve been to dozens of Vietnamese restaurant in the past but Phuong Nam Restaurant is by far the best in terms of cleanliness and ambience. I ordered their Shaking Beef and it was so damn good! The beef was so tender and juicy that it melts in your mouth. The owner was so nice and very accommodating too. I will definitely be coming back to try their other food. I highly recommend Phuong Nam Restaurant to those seeking a good service, good value, cleanliness, and top-notch Vietnamese cuisine.

Food was alright, quite overpriced. Apparently many people enjoyed the fried chicken feed, it was just salty and crunchy like chips, not a good appetizer. Sour soup was fairly good, but of course a bit much msg, otherwise not bold enough flavors.
