Good location of the national Pho Hoa franchise with decorative spacious interior, clean restroom and adequate service (polite hostesses but rude servers!). Plenty of parking spaces although weekends can be very tight, though that's Lion Plaza issue and not the restaurant. As to the main entree: authentic pho flavors with good presentation in terms of garnishment. However, the meats are skimpy and greens kinda light (minus one star--see photo)--unlike the same franchises in Atlanta, Houston and the OC. Not perfect but definitely an good quick fix when you have a Pho craving!

My boyfriend and I come to Pho Hoa every time we’re in East San Jose without fail. Every. Single. Time. We’ve never had a bad experience here. The pho is the best in the area and the entrees are out extremely quick. There’s a massive dining room, so there’s always plenty of space. Though, they do tend to get pretty busy at lunch and dinner time. They also have extremely late hours, so it’s the perfect late night snack!
