This was my first time here and I loved it! My wife and I both had bun (rice noodles) bowls - one chicken and one rice. We also both chose pork&shrimp egg rolls as sides. Really happy with the choices. The flavors are just right for us. Not too spicey - you can ask for it to be dialed up if you like. Ordering is done off of a very well executed touch screen kiosk. I really like the house sauce. Just enough kick. The other ingredients are tasty and fresh. No clumpy stale noodles here! The Eggroll was exceptional to me. Crisp and tasty and flaky. Do not let these go soggy in takeout - eat them immediately on receipt. So, no frills, but great food at a reasonable price. This is a walk up food counter in SoFA Market in 1st in SJ. It's practically next to the California Theatre and a bunch of other stuff in downtown. Lots of other food and drink in the court. So, ambience is noisy and street-like even though it's indoors. But I sorta suspected that coming in. In any case, long winded way to say I'm not grading them on ambience.

Located next to California Theatre, Vietnoms is located in the SoFA Market where there are other eateries. Ordering is via kiosk. With the main menu items: Rice Bowl, Salad Bowl, Bun (rice noodle) Bowl, and Banh Mi (sandwich), ordering is straight forward. For me and my dining companion, we ordered a Lemongrass Pork Bun Bowl and a Lemongrass Chicken Bun Bowl. Both were full of flavor. Included in the bowl are veggies and egg roll--a complete meal. Next to the menu there is a video for "first timers". One of the pro tips is to add an egg for $1.50. As a person who enjoys Vietnamese food, I recommend this place. Because the eatery is located in an all cement building, there's lots of noise, especially if you are sitting next to a person who talks loudly. Seating is communal so it's hard to avoid.

I was visiting the area and wanted Asian food! I quickly found vietnoms with high reviews and recommended this spot to the others in my party. Super fun they are located in a food hall! Everything smelled amazing. I opted for the vermicelli bowl with lemongrass chicken on top. They add an egg roll and it is sooo good. My meal was really tasty. They have an option of hot sauces to add on top, which really compliments the flavor. The bowl is HUGE! I couldn't finish my meal. So tasty though. The staff working were really friendly and our food came out quickly!

Hands down one of my boyfriend and I's favorite place to eat for a comfort meal. This place always hits the spot, the food is delicious and made to order. All the veggies are always really crisp and fresh too. The price is great for the amount of food you get! We always have a good experience with the workers here too, friendly and quick to make our orders and the owner is very kind! We're sad the mall location closed down but the downtown location is about the same distance from us, we hope this place never closes! Definitely recommend for those who are craving a clean, fresh Vietnamese meal in San Jose at a good price!

Vietnoms is always a solid choice if you're craving viet food. Can't go wrong with the rice or vermicelli bowl. It's nice the vermicelli bowl comes with an egg roll, which you can add to the rice bowl. I always add on a fried egg too. My favorite is the lemongrass pork, but I heard the chicken is also good. You order either on the kiosk or you can order directly with the workers. If you have larger group I recommend ordering directly. The restaurant is located in the SOFA market with a few other restaurants in the same building. I work in downtown and this is one of the few good restaurants walking distance. It's a great place to eat with coworkers since there's a lot of seating inside and outside the market.

I absolutely love this place. The menu is so simple but with such great selections of meat, choices or vegetarian plus all of the options you have to add onto your dish and to top it off any type of sauce that you add to it just enhances the flavor by 10 times, it's a great place to stop in the mall and the service is always really friendly and helpful if you have questions about the menu. And I think the ambience just really makes you feel completely welcomed. It's relaxing and beautiful for a nice bite to eat. I love stopping here whenever we go to the mall. I highly recommend any of the bowl choices. The lemon grass option is super good.

We stopped here for lunch recently and it was fantastic! Really fresh and flavorful food that was ready quickly.

Really solid Vietnamese spot here at SoFa Market in DTSJ. They are a semi build-your-own casual spot with some great options if you're on the go. Order and payment is handled completely using their kiosk. You are able to select the base of your meal: banh mi, rice bowl, or vermicelli bowl (the most popular item on the menu). I ordered a Tofu Vermicelli Bowl ($16) with soy sauce as their only vegan friendly dressing. Everything was made fresh including construction of the veggies, boiling of the rice noodles, and the tender crispy pieces of tofu. The bowl also included a vegan egg roll and together, it was hearty and filling, hitting all the spots.
