Hủ Tiếu Nam Vang — Restaurant in San Jose

I was still hungry after eating #12 Mi Kho (shrimp pork dry egg noodles) $15.25. It was an enjoyable meal. Phi Hu Tieu Nam Vang is located inside of Lion Plaza's indoor food court. Wow this plaza has turned into a ghost town compared to the other San Jose Vietnamese plaza on Story Road. That other plaza recovered well after Covid. Back in the early 2000's, you can't find a place to park, let alone find a seat in the food court. We used to come here with our Vietnamese friends to buy bootleg CD's and grab food/sugarcane drinks.

Phi's does dry noodles well with bone soup on the side. They have a spices station with fresh cut garlic, whole chilies and sauces. This is fantastic! My noodles came out within five minutes and I was ready to eat. There were too many pieces of pork liver. Some people like it, but I don't. The egg noodles had good texture and I enjoyed it. Too bad there weren't enough of it. I liked dipping the meats into the sauce I made. My bone piece had meat on it and that tasted great too. I was looking for a soft spot to see if there was bone morrow, but no. If you are in Lion Plaza already, this is a good spot for dry noodles. Good job chef and counter...

One issue is I don’t think they always charge me correctly for what order. I have been overcharged. However it is the best in the city. I always order the special „dai“ (chewy glassy noodle, dac biet meaning „special“ dry. The soup is on the side and has pork bone in it. That flavors is 5 star but their practices are not too honest…

Still delish. Went again. I order the dry version. The “glass” noodle is coated with lovely dark sauce and soup with bone...

Phi Hu Tieu Nam Vang takes over the spot of the former noodle soup and Nem Nuong grilled pork specialists that used to occupy the corner spot of this food court.

Ingredients include lean pork, liver, squid, shrimp, quail eggs, bean sprouts, and garlic. The soup on the side includes a large pork Bone and a condiment Bar is available to flavor to taste. Tip: try the Nem Nuong rolls and order dry style with soup...
