Sj Quán Ngon - Sahibabad

After getting coffee across the plaza at Lacaphe, we decided to visit little Saigon inside of Grand century mall. This place still look the same and of course we had to visit their food court. On a Sunday afternoon, I'm surprised the area wasn't as pack. We end up eating here and decided to order 2 things. The pork chops over rice (comes with a side of soup if you dine in) and of course their banh khot. The pork chops were a little fatty compare to other places and a little salty for my taste. However, the banh khot on the other hand were delicious and the amount of herbs made the overall dish better. The owner was sweet and she gave us a couple free drinks. I would come back for their banh khot but will pass on the chops.

This is the best pho I've had in San Jose, and I love pho. The broth is incredibly flavorful and delicious, no MSG, just pure broth and flavor. The rice noodles are fresh and soft. The portion is huge, for $18, I'm stuffed, but not heavy or lethargic. The owner is a beautifully kind and generous lady who's been here for ten years. This place is such a hidden gem and I hope your experience fills your stomach and fullfills your soul. Makes me miss Vietnam so much. Thank you to this beautiful business!

Not sure if I will ever return again... tried two of their noodle soup. The spicy beef udon Bun bo hue) was ok, but the crab noodle soup Bun rieu) was not good at all, tasteless. What bothers me the most was their cleanliness. They only accept cash which is fine. But after handling cash , the same hand goes directly into the veggie bucket to grab the side veggie and distributed onto the plate for customer...and the same hand goes to grab spoon and chopstick etc.. no glove no wash hand .. how disgusting is that ! And they do all of these right in front of you at the open counter like who cares if people see it or not ..:

4.5-4.6 stars for food court foods. Although cash only, this place inside the food court makes the best authentic foods here. Great wide menu selections and quick service. Highly rated. If they ever accept cash, I will rate them a 5. Takes about 10-12 minutes to get your order when they are busy with others. Comfortable tables chairs everywhere. No stress. Not many customers since pandemic during weekdays. This is my 5th time coming here in the past 15 years, and they haven't failed me. Yes, bring cash please. Note, not all restaurants are open on weekdays, compared to weekends here.Got my lemongrass chicken plate fix. Portions too generous. It was a plate that can make 2-3 people feel very full if shared. Comes with the lemongrass chicken pieces, cucumber lettuce salad, fully cooked egg, vinaigrette, soup, rice, and salted mustard greens in your tray. Very full! Loved the little dish, tray, and bowl. You get real fork, spoon, and knife for dining in. Not plastic utensils like most other places these days. Foods tasted excellent. Not dry. Last time, I had the huge Bun Bo Hue which was also very generous too. Including the can of coconut drink, I only paid $20 cash. Not bad at all. That's everything included into the price, taxes included. Must love cash businesses if they are very good. Inflation dollars well spent. Feeds a few. Yes, I do plan to keep coming back if in the area. Absolutely delicious.
