Don't let the name fool you, but this is a place you want to come to if you want good Viet-Asian comfort food; they take traditional Vietnamese favorites and put their own spin on things. We were fortunate to have the Chef walk by and glad we went with his recommendations.Their ultimate appetizer platter have something for everyone. With the traditional Vietnamese fried egg rolls, to their pork balls skewers poked in a cucumber and Asian style fried won ton pockets. To balance it out, there's vermicelli and other vegetables Another of our repeat favorite is their open flame cooked Quail with sweet onion garnish. Although it's to be have together the quail was tasty as is and didn't really ne...

Came here for my birthday dinner. S E R V I C E Service could have been better. I arrived with a group of 5 people the restaurant space is small and there were 2 large open tables in the back. We wanted to sit there given that we were a large group. Instead they just told us no. They crammed us in a tiny table up front. Note: the larger tables were not reserved. F O O D We ordered the Pho Broth. Right off the bat we noticed they use the larger noodles not the traditional thin silky noodles in pho. The soup does not taste like boiled soup with authentic ingredients instead they use substitute sauce. . This restaurant does not serve authentic pho. T I P S ?!?At the end of the meal , they bring...

San Bruno falls short of delicious Vietnamese food. You can try some places in Millbrae, one spot in SSF but the price point and authentic taste at Little Vietnamese Bistro is unmatched. Coming to Little Vietnamese Bistro is like a drive down to one of the best Vietnamese spots in San Jose.The pho is delicious. You can taste the beef broth with no msg flavor. You can tell they put lots of time and care into making a delicious broth. We also had the five spice chicken with garlic noodles. The chicken is perfectly seasoned and juicy, such a good balance with the garlic noodles. We also tried the spring rolls which were perfectly crisp, stuffed with a mix of pork, veggies and complimented by no...

Came here after work with a colleague’s recommendation. Ordered the Pho #20) soup was bland and noodles were overcooked, just overall what I’m not used to coming from NYC and eating at authentic Vietnamese. Had the French style squab which to me was fried squab tossed in sauce, in other words not that different from Chinese style minus sauce. Should have known it was not authentic Vietnamese when I saw the Chinese characters on the menu. Waitress was friendly, just to the food was meh. Book a table now

The service was disappointing. The spring rolls tasted obviously premade; when I requested them without vegetables, I was told by the chef that it wasn’t possible. Really? To add to that, the meat inside was cold. The noodles were decent, but the poor service overshadowed any positive aspects of the meal. I had to ask for a receipt three times. The only advantage this restaurant has is its convenient location next to the swim school, otherwise, I doubt I would return.

Too lazy to cook, came here for dinner. Ordered two appetizers and two bowls of noodle soup. The meat of the egg roll was too salty. The 5 spice chicken roll only had 3 little pieces of meat. they used chicken broth for the pho. The crab meat tomato noodle soup is the only dish done it right.

The chicken curry comes with chicken that is extremely tough and difficult to chew.
