Best Vietnamese Spot on Monterey Rd!
I stumbled upon Pho Enjoy at 5556 Monterey Road, San Jose (right next to Little Caesars and Speedy Oil Change), and this has become one of my top local finds!
I’ve tried the pork bánh mì here multiple times, and it’s consistently excellent. The baguette is crisp on the outside and soft inside, perfectly complemented by savory, well-seasoned pork, pickled daikon and carrot, fresh cilantro, jalapeños, and that creamy aioli — every bite is a delight.
What really sets this place apart is the hospitality. The owners, a warm and welcoming man and woman, always greet you with a smile and offer a refreshing cup of ice water with lime the moment you sit down. That thoughtful gesture makes you feel genuinely taken care of from start to finish.
On top of the great food and service, the prices are very reasonable. Portions are generous — you get a satisfying, flavorful meal without breaking the bank.
I didn’t remember to take photos this time (I was too focused on enjoying the food!), but I’ll definitely snap some next visit to share. For now, know this: Pho Enjoy delivers top-notch bánh mì, friendly service, and fair prices in a clean, casual setting.
Highly recommend this spot if you’re around Monterey Road — I’m adding it to my Local Guide with...
Read moreA small casual pho restaurant. The food quality is decent. I went there on a weekday lunchtime. It wasn’t busy. Only two staff were working. The person who took our order also cooked and served the food. The other staff worked at the counter. Service was understandably very wuick because There were only three people dining in. Takeouts were not busy either.
Prices are reasonable. We ordered two pho bowls and an order of summer rolls. The summer rolls had mostly noodle (carb) inside. I wished there were more vegetables. The phos taste good. Quality of the meat is good. The noodles have good separation instead of stuck together. The soup is fine. While there is only one pho size, it has more noodle than large phos in other pho places.
The person who served us had his mask on the neck so neither his mouth or nose were covered. I wished he put on the mask properly since he took our order, cooked, and...

First time to try it and it was delightful! Not to mention, staff/owners are always friendly and relatable. I often go there to try their menu, but I haven't been in a while because I was also off work and on leave. (I don't live nearby). The lady greeted me "long time no see" - they always recognize their customers even tho they don't know you by name or vice versa & I appreciate that genuine trait.
Support local businesses! This is definitely a must-try place :)
Ps. It's a take out order but I didn't mind giving a tip! There were 6pcs of the wings. I called ahead so there's no wait at...
