Banh Cuon Tay Ho — Restaurant in San Jose

If you're looking for Banh Cuon, noodle soup or rice plates, rice cakes with shredded pork and shrimp, Banh Xeo, etc. I would recommend to try this place!

I have to thank my friend Ben for his suggestion for trying this place out. I've had a craving for Vietnamese food but really wanted to have a Banh Cuon fix. Finally! I've found a place that gives a large plate priced between $5.25-$7.95.

Flour or rice sheets, ground pork, sprouts, shrimp tempura, etc. I ordered myself a #11 the Banh Cuon Nhan Thit that had a little bit of everything that's all meat. Of course, they do have vegetarian options and seafood too. I really want to try their seafood #54 next time! FYI...if you think the pitchers that are brought out to your table are drinks, be careful. It's their fish sauce! You'll need a bowl to spoon it all over your dish. It's what gives the Banh Cuon dish a lot of its flavor. As for a small dessert or something to tickle your sweet tooth, you can try their "che" drinks. I ordered myself the coconut and tapioca drink. Not too bad, but it was a little bit on the warm side. I was hoping it'd be cold. Oh well!

Would I come back again? Of course! If not for the drinks, I'll definitely be back for the other stuff...

Came here while visiting my parents. The grand-kids wanted to try out Bang Cuon and came here for the first time out of a suggestion from my mother.

My wife and I had #11. The Bang Cuon combo. My wife and kids love all things noodles and noodley. It came with variety. The noodles were very tasty. Nice firmness and flavors. The cha lua was too dense and lacking in much flavor and was the disappointing factory of the dish. The yam fritter was delicious. Perfectly fried, crispiness on out side while sweet yam softness inside. The mungbean fritter was a bit doughy. Saved by its flavor. Kids and wife liked all items in this dish minus the cha lua.

My Father had Banh Canh. He didn't enjoy it. Said the soup was off. My mother and I gave it a taste test. Definitely off. Could be simply a difference in culture/region. What we are used to versus where this version of Banh Canh originates from. I wouldn't say it wasn't good. Just different and not my preference of style.

My mother had Banh Uot to try. She enjoyed her...

My dad wanted to come here for Father's Day and I took him. He and I ordered the Dac Biet [house combo] plate and a side of eggrolls. My boyfriend ordered Buon Thit Nuong. He's never tried Banh Cuon before, so he wasn't sure he wanted to order it. We came at a good time on a Sunday. It was right before their dinner rush.

As we were eating my dad said the food isn't the same since it's under new management; however, I think it was decent. It's not the best, but it's good. The eggrolls were good. They weren't king eggroll status. They were good by itself or with some nuoc mam. We didn't realize that eggrolls came with the combob, as result we had extra to take home. I wish they gave more cucumbers with the plate though.

All in all, the service was as expected like any other Asian restaurant. Inattentive. We had to wave down the waiter for more water and other necessities. Food was good. Food...
