Phở Wagon — Restaurant in San Jose

This place was horrible, I ordered beef stew with extra meat went to pick it up got it home, the rice noodles were cold and stuck together, there was no extra stew meat in the soup what i was given looked like some kind of brisket cold cut, no fresh vegetables or bean sprouts and it had the color of Vietnamese beef stew but smelled like rancid grease and tasted horrible, I threw it in the trash.. I can get the same meal for 11 dollars on Bascom avenue.. Pho Wagon charged 24 and it went in the trash... My hands smelled like kitchen grease after handling the food and containers

The other place is Com Tam Thanh Pho Beef Noodle Soup 905 S Bascom Ave, San Jose they have Bo Kho for 11 dollars with extra stew meat,, comes with condiments and fresh mint, sprouts, and a pepper I bought that with a coke and there napkins and chop sticks in the bag.. 11 bucks and it was delishious.. pho wagon...

Rainy and cold day? Best time for Pho! I like that the decor here is rather understated. It's actually very calming and zen. You walk in and they are always very welcoming. Can get pretty busy during lunch and dinner but they will usually have a table ready for you in no time. The menu is not as huge and confusing of some places. They keep it simple but still have lots of options. Small #7 (rare beef and noodle) is my go to. It's plenty of everything and I never finish it. I love their broth. Pho is all about the broth and theirs is one of the best! Also enjoy their fresh Spring Rolls with shrimp and pork. I usually just drink water but on occasion I cave in and treat myself to their house-made lemonade. It's as good as any I make from the lemon tree at home! ...

Pho Wagon offers a solid, casual Vietnamese dining option. I ordered their most popular dish—the chicken pho—which was clean and comforting, but surprisingly mild in flavor. I even added a side of vegetable broth and still found myself reaching for the Sriracha to give it that extra kick.

The shrimp spring rolls were a highlight—fresh, light, and paired beautifully with their rich peanut sauce. I also tried the chicken fried rice, which was decent but not particularly memorable.

Overall, it’s a reliable spot if you’re in the mood for something light and simple. I’d dine here again, but it wouldn’t be my go-to for...
