text: I wanted to like this place more it looks like an authentic vietnamese restaurant in san jose and they serve bun bo hue which is usually a plus i usually end up at treasure island for pho since spring mtn rd is so far but the lure of the real deal brought me out herenfirst the good the vegetables bean sprouts basil etc were fresh no complaints here when they brought these out first i was quite excited as quality ingredients usually means quality farennow the bad i ordered pho was tempted to try the BBH but my stomach was recovering from some crazy vegas partying and needed something lighter i believe it was the with everything the portion was decent sized the broth however lacked depth it was not bad per se but just lacked any complexity i usually eat my pho plain for about a quarter of a bowl before i add in siracha eat that for a bit then add in additional condiments that keeps it fresh and it is like i am having different flavored bowls of noodles in one sitting this time i could not take more than a few spoonfuls of plain broth before i was thoroughly bored with it just does not compare to san jose pho
