HUE RESTAURANT

Food was excellent! Definitely worth the wait. I ordered a Bun Bo Hue for myself and a few other dishes to share. Everything we got was honestly so delicious. The BBH broth was super flavorful, not too spicy and had strong lemongrass flavour to it. It felt like comfort in a bowl. I don't know if I'll visit San Jose any time soon but if I do, I'll certainly be back!

Huế Vietnamese Food in South San Jose is always packed, which set my expectations high. It’s good, but I’m not at all convinced it deserves the constant line-out-the-door hype. That said, they’re famous for Bánh Bèo and I get why. The rice cakes with ground shrimp are tasty, especially with the dried shrimp on top. Definitely the highlight and worth ordering. The Bún Bò Huế with oxtail looked amazing but was just okay. A bit oily and not as flavorful as it looked. The real miss was the Bún Thịt Nướng. Sliced grilled pork served over vermicelli & vegetables. The pork was dry. Try it but manage expectations. Popular doesn’t always mean flawless.

TLDR: fair prices for bomb food, credit cards accepted and would come back again We were trying a bunch of different spots so we ended up with one bun bo hue, one ban xeo and one viet iced coffee. The ban xeo came with five rice cakes with dried shrimp and a chicharron, very tasty. The bun bo hue was full of flavor yet still light and not too heavy. They don’t skimp on the meat either. The viet iced coffee was so strong I had to add some iced water to it so I could drink it!

Excellent food for a good price and fast service. The bun bo hue was complex and has a lot of lemongrass aroma. The bahn beo was also nice chewy and delicate.

It was a rainy Monday afternoon, when I decided it was time to share some culture with my partner. We went to Hue restaurant to have some delicious viet food and it lived up to my expectations. We ordered the banh beo, banh xeo, and bun bo hue. The banh beo was delicious but the best part was definitely their nuoc mam with a subtly spicy twist. The bun bo hue was a classic and hit all the right marks and actually had a good amount of toppings. Finally the banh xeo was huge and so crispy. It took a really long time for the banh xeo to come (I started to think they missed my order), but when it came out, it was perfectly crispy and flavorful. Though service can be super slow and a little confusing, this place has all the hallmarks of a good Vietnamese restaurant. Overall, I really enjoyed everything and it was so filling,
