San Jose, CA
Best Vietnamese in San Jose.
Harry's top 10 Vietnamese spots in San Jose score 67–96 on the Harry Score. Prices run $ to $$.
Vietnamese cooking is a discipline of balance — broth, fresh herbs, heat and lime in proportion, nothing shouting over anything else. Harry judges a pho by the clarity of the broth before the noodles even matter, and a banh mi by whether the bread was baked with the sandwich in mind.
Ranked by Harry Score. The Harry Score is a weighted blend of Google, Yelp, Tripadvisor, and critic mentions. No paid placements. No affiliate links.
