Dakao, San Jose, California Restaurant Details

Food:

Amazing selection, awesome tasting foods, reasonably priced although having come here for some time and actually noticing the price increase it makes my heart a little sad.. Very flexible, doesn't mind changing a to-go order into a dine-in or vice versa after the food's already started to be made, also doesn't mind switching out an ingredient or two when I inquired which I really appreciate! A lot of places can be a real butt about it ya know!

Another cool plus about this place is that it feels very homie. Never any hassle, customers to this place always seem very chill, quiet and respectful, and the owners/workers are always friendly, you just have to forgive them on the slightly broken English ;) Dakao is definitely one of my boyfriend and I's favourite go to place whenever we pass by downtown!

Food:

I've been to this place since I was in elementary school. The prices have only slightly increased and it's very authentic Vietnamese food. I always love their "Banh Day" since is still $1 each! Keep in mind - ATM or Cash only.

Food:

Good, cheap, fast Vietnamese sandwiches. BBQ Pork, no mayo, is the best.

Food:

Best Rice paper salad for sure! And cheapest!! In good portion. I'm a fan!

Other items here are pretty cheap I must say. Affordable for college student who just needs some snack for lunch. You can get a decent meal for $2-$3

Food:

On my trip to San Jose I had the flu and I was so grateful to have this place nearby. I ate the pho everyday and it was a lifesaver! I also enjoyed the ready made meals and sandwiches, I took some dumplings and meat and veggies back to my room and it was a welcome treat. If you are picky about atmosphere then go pay more elsewhere. The food is authentic and you can't beat the price.
