Vịt Đông Quê

By far my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in San Jose. Also the best Bánh bèo (steamed rice cakes) I've had outside of Hue Vietnam where they originate. The proprietor give me directions to a place in Hue to try them and I made the trip while I was in Vietnam. After trying them all over the Bay area, in Orange County and in Paris France these are second only to the ones from the restaurant in Vietnam. Incredibly friendly staff, outstanding food, what more could you possibly want?

The Vịt salad was good. The cháo was tasty.

Old lady with glasses server carry hot tea out spilled all over wife when she place it out on the table and got all over wife clothing cost a minor burn on her hand. We didn't give them a hard time, it just accident. Wife moved to another seat. Then the lady server brought out the hot noodles bowl for me. Instead handed to me right there, but instead carry the hot bowl noodles reaching over across wife side and placed next to me almost spill over her again. Crazy. Then when come to check out. I asked how much is everything? The lady boss say cash $140. handed her the total amount . Then I asked for a receipt. The lady boss not sure so she retype the amount again in the cash register and came out to be $112 then she added on a 20% tips. Total came out to be around $132 something. So old lady boss gave back to me $10. Didn't say anything. Wow, we got cheated plus wife put some tips on the table as well. Even though she got minor injuries from the hot tea spilled on her hand. We left and i took the tips off from the table return back to wife. This place need to be more honest on their bill.

4 stars, duck salad had generous portions but wasn't amazing

Duck was pretty good, other items just okay. Kinda shady with a takeout fee and cash only.

I think I just got overcharged.!! Came in with my family and relatives from Canada. So there were 7 adults and 1 kid. We ordered 2 plates of Banh beo, 5 bun mang, 2 plates of the goi vit, 1 rice chicken roti, 1 rice chicken wings, and about $20 of drinks. My husband went up to pay and was told the bill was $220.00 he paid without thinking( was distracted by the 3 ladiesvat the cashierasking him to buy some of there over tge counter banh cam) and we even left $20.00 tips for bad service. I did som calculation (looking back at the menu for pricing) it was about 150 without tax. Now tell me I was not overcharged or ripped off .

The rice cake tastes good and crunchy. Must order Duck Salad.
