Vung Tau Restaurant, San Jose, California, Vietnamese Restaurant Details

Food:

Vung Tau is crazy good. Inside the seemingly unassuming building there lies a hidden culinary oasis in the heart of San Jose. I highly recommend the shaking beef and the shrimp in spicy red curry. They have an excellent bar with attentive staff and the beer selection has a surprising number of Belgian and Trappist ales. Always a good idea to get there early (even on weekdays) as they do get quite busy.

Food:

Food is average and very pricey for a Vietnamese restaurant, not even gourmet, left hungry, took out frozen pizza at home. We saw on PBS. Sorry it's our last visit. We spend almost $200 for 5.

Food:

Wow! Unbelievable! So many flavors and such good broth. Very peaceful environment and a natural setting. Clean with service. Wish the portions where slightly bigger but quality over quantity. I ordered glass noodle soup with tiger prawns.

Food:

Excellent Vietnamese food. Really different from all the other Vietnamese food i had before. Come early, so to avoid the wait.

Food:

Excellent food and a great selection of fine drinks...

Food:

"More upscale than the average pho place", these reasonably priced, family-run Vietnamese spots distinguish themselves with "flavorful" dishes that are "authentic" but made with "interesting twists"; amid the "simple", "nicely furnished" digs, "friendly" servers "help steer novice diners in the right direction."
