Phuong Thao - Sunnyvale

The catfish clay pot was great; I balanced its strong flavors with a pot of hot tea. The crispy noodles with seafood was a big dish. It all tasted great!

This restaurant is fantastic for delicious hot pot! We tried both the catfish hot pot and the seafood hot pot, and they were both incredible. The flavors are perfectly balanced, and the spice level is just right—not too overwhelming. The service is quick and attentive. Don’t miss out on their authentic Vietnamese coffee, which is excellent. This is definitely my favorite spot for hot pot in South Bay!

Great spot. The food was decent—my wife's pho and my fried rice were fine—but the Vietnamese iced coffee was absolutely incredible; it was definitely the highlight of the meal. Unfortunately, they no longer serve Banh Xeo, which we had heard great things about. They mentioned it was too time-consuming to prepare. I would definitely return just for the coffee!

I visited this restaurant for lunch with a friend around noon on Thursday. There’s free 4-hour parking available in the Macy's lot just a block away. I ordered the House Special Rice Vermicelli for $10.50, which was quite good. The dish featured cold vermicelli noodles topped with egg roll, beef, chicken, and shrimp. The cucumber water was a refreshing addition, though I had to ask for a refill.

The Pho is amazing here.
