Bò Né Phú Yên

Bò Né Phú Yên is a solid spot for sizzling Vietnamese steak, offering filet mignon, eggs, pâté, and fresh baguettes on a hot iron plate. The rich flavors and tender meat make it a satisfying meal, and the presentation adds to the experience. The food court setting can be noisy, and seating is limited during busy hours, but the quality of the dish makes up for it. The portion sizes are fairly generous, making it a filling option for breakfast or lunch. However, some visits can be inconsistent, with slight variations in meat tenderness or seasoning. Despite that, the restaurant remains one of the better choices for Vietnamese sizzling steak in the area, especially for those who enjoy bold flavors and interactive dining experiences.

(Super late review, went here Feb 2024) My sister and friends from Dallas Tx came to visit and wanted to try some Viet breakfast food. I’ve been wanting to try this place so this was the time to try with everyone. It’s in a food court in a Vietnamese plaza. I wanna say it’s cash only, either way just bring cash. It’s 20 bucks per plate. We went on a weekday morning so it wasn’t packed at all, and the food court was very quiet lol. The plates were quickly made by an uncle aged gentleman and the woman handled the money and orders. The plates were all sizzling, and the eggs are all sunny side up, if you like your eggs more done, the hot plate will eventually get it cooked thru. This dish is made for runny yokes, so I wouldn’t recommend waiting to your yokes to be cooked thru. The banh mi (baguette) was fresh and warm, had the perfect crunch and crisp. The plates come with a meat ball, beef, and pâté. There’s a side salad and a full baguette. The proteins to me could be flavored a bit more, they tasted one note. Otherwise, the experience and food as a whole was decent. Bottom line: Good to try out at least once.

Amazing food for an amazing price! My husband and I are both big eaters, but we were pretty full after sharing one bò né between the two of us for $20. My brother, sister-in-law, and mom shared a second bò né and almost had leftovers. The cow shaped sizzling plate was unique and very cool! My favorite part was the warm toasty bread that paired perfectly with the juicy tender steak and paté! Next time we'll definitely see if we can get two though since we were practically fighting over it. We went on a Monday around noon and it was about 20min wait in line before ordering, then about 15min for the food to come out. Absolutely worth the wait, but it's good to divide and conquer to pick up some apps (i.e. spring rolls) from places nearby/grab a table when one frees up! Food court is a bit small, but cleaner than I expected, with several bussers on standby.

I've tried a few Bo Ne places but this one is my absolute favorite! Bo Ne Phu Yen is located inside a food court at Lion Plaza. They specialize in the Bo Ne and I can definitely see why! This is a great spot for casual eating. They are cash only and at $20, you can get Bo Ne (Shaking Beef) with lettuce, bread, and tea all included. The beef is very tender and soft that you can use a spoon to cut through it. How I usually eat Bo Ne is by taking the bread and dipping it in all the sauce, add a bit of egg, onion, pate, beef, and then take a bite out of it. This spot does not skimp out on the pate. The lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumber helps to cleanse your palate as needed and I like how hot tea was also included. Since this is located in a plaza, there is a lot of parking, but it can get busy over the weekends. One thing I would recommend is to also include a plastic knife as a utensil to cut the beef since the utensils we were given were a pair of chopsticks, a spoon, and a fork.

Wow, stellar food. Everything was tender and seasoned deliciously. It's in a cafeteria, don't expect service. Only one egg due to increased egg prices sadly. 20 dollars cash.

I'd heard about this restaurant before from a friend of mine when I asked her to suggest me a good place to have Bo ne (Vietnamese beef steak) in San Jose. I finally came there with my family and the food satisfied all of us . It is interesting that they only have one item to order on the menu it is a must-try for everyone. I personally ordered mine cooked medium. The meat was tender. The flavor was addictive. It definitely surpassed my expectations. To accompany the steak, they also provided a sate soy sauce. Just remember to add it sparingly, as a little goes a long way. I especially like to eat their sour and sweet salad together with this dish since it enhanced the flavors perfectly. One thing to note is that they only accept cash, and the price is a flat $20 with no additional tax. The price appears to be pricey but they use expensive cut of meat so it makes sense for that price. I need to mention that this restaurant is located within the food court that have other restaurants there as well. Arriving at noon on a Saturday, I discovered that seating inside was limited and in high demand. While they do offer outdoor seating, the chilly weather prompted us to wait for an indoor spot. It took a bit of patience, as we kept a watchful eye for any available tables, ready to claim them before someone else did. This is a big downside because this kind of dish should only be for dine in - it tastes worse if you order it for to go for sure and it was stressful to look for seats and tables although we had no problem with parking. I took back one star due to this reason.

Food is unexpectedly tasty. Cash only business. Come prepared.

To be upfront the meal is $20 for an order of the famous Bo Ne. The chef is very nice and makes each meal to order. It's a generous amount with a side salad, fresh and crispy bread and the sizzling beef cooked to either medium rare or rare. The beef is very tender and flavorful, the side of the pate spread is a unique flavor but a bit on the sweeter side. Everything about the meal compliments one another and it is one of the best Bo Ne I've had in a while.

Whenever I'm craving bo ne, this place is my go to spot that I like to show my friends. It's located inside the food court at Lion Market Plaza. This plaza used to be popping when I was a kid but these days it's much quieter. Still the food court has a good mix of Vietnamese spots so you can try dishes from multiple places if you're in the mood to sample. Ordering is straightforward. You order at the counter, get a buzzer, and when your food is ready, it vibrates so you can head back up to grab your tray. I recommend ordering first, then finding a seat while you wait. The bo ne comes out sizzling hot with a runny egg, pate, meatballs, slices of steak, a fresh side salad, and a warm baguette. The bread is crispy outside, soft inside. Perfect for soaking up all the flavorful meat juices. I like to tear up the bread and top it with a bit of everything. 100% would recommend.

Great hole in the wall establishment that is cash only. This place was pretty hard to find; located within Lion market plaza, you walk through some unassuming looking arches on the left side of the market that leads you to a small corner of stores. There is a sign for a ballet school that does not lead to a ballet store and instead leads you to a small food court with some tables located inside! Service was minimal but efficient. The main dish was a flat $20 and we got medium rare for the steak. It came with a side salad and tea as well. The food was delicious; meat was tender and juicy, the sauce was flavorful, and the baguette was well toasted and plentiful. Portions were generous. I highly recommend trying this place!

The positives: Food came out quickly. Cheaper than most other places around ($20). Big portion. Tender meat. The not so great: Baguette was tough. Taste is average and lacking. This place fell short of my expectations and is overhyped in my opinion.

This was the best sizzling plate i've ever had. But I digress. I came with my fiancé looking for a lunch to split. There is no real service you just order a plate and take it to a seat. This restaurant is located inside of a very small food court. There is seating but it took a long while to find a table. The court is reminiscent of a hawker stall in Singapore, very quaint. Seems like a family owned restaurant too. For $20 in cash only you get egg runny with sauce, pate, cubed filet mignon, amazing baguette, and some veggies. the beef- amazing and super tender and soft. The pate is also standout and very flavorful. The bread, a surprising star, is both soft, and crispy (I don't know how they did it). We waited an hour but it was incredible. Would do it again.

Bò Né Phú Yên is the undisputed king of Bò Né in the Bay Area. We've tried Bò Né at countless Vietnamese restaurants in San Jose, but none of them can compare to the mouthwatering flavor and quality of their meats. If you're planning to visit, be sure to arrive early. This food court gets packed during lunch, and the line for Bò Né is usually super long. They often run out of bread before 1 pm, so don't miss out!

I had this hidden gem bookmarked for the longest time. I finally tried it on an early weekend! My boyfriend and I ordered one sizzling steak (medium rare) plate to share. It was a flat $20. The meal was enough for the two of us. The meal came with a cup of hot tea, a side salad, a large baguette and a sizzling steak plate (with eggs, meatball, pate and some onions/herbs). Oh, a side of soy sauce and chilli oil was also provided. The food was delicious! To be honest, I haven't tried a lot of Bo Ne anywhere but this spot may have set some high standards for me. Definitely a hidden gem and worth a try! Great, filling plate. I definitely recommend!

Located in a mall food court type place, I knew it was gonna be good because I did not see a menu at all, just signs on their section of the food court for "shaken beef" and "Bo Ne for $20". Not sure if they take card, but if you pay in cash it is exactly $20. The food comes out sizzling on that hot plate. We asked for medium rare, and the meat came out more rare than expected, probably to compensate for the sizzling hot plate. The meat was so tender and buttery and juicy, the bread soft and perfect for soaking up the juices, and the salad was quite refreshing. I gobbled the whole thing up and was in a food coma for the next couple hours. Seating is food court style - a bunch of tables in the middle of all the restaurants. Parking wasn't hard on a weekday lunch - there's a lot for all the shops in the area, although I could see it getting crowded on weekday meals.

Love their Bo ne!! I love that they actually cook your steak to the preferred wellness. The steak, bread, and pate are all so yummy on their own but put everything together and it is absolutely divine. Very solid, no frills spot. The only inconvenience is since it's located in a food court, you have to find your own table which is hard during peak dining hours. People are generally courteous and will leave after eating for quick turnover though. Highly recommend coming early or late to avoid peak lunch time.

Wow omg the bo ne here was SO GOOD I can't stop thinking about it. This took me back to the bo ne I had in Vietnam. It's probably good that I discovered this place after moving out of SJ otherwise I would have been there too often. Everything about the dish was amazing, so flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The only downside is that they're serving 1 egg per dish instead of 2 due to the egg shortage. It's located in a food court with a bunch of other great options so you could try small bites while waiting. It's cash only $20. Expect to wait at least 20-30 mins especially during peak hours but so worth it. Literally so yummy I'll be back.

I was driving by San Jose and dropped by the food court for some breakfast. It was pretty empty Friday morning around 10 am when I arrived. I immediately walked over to the Bo Ne Phe Yen stall. I looked around and there's no menu posted anywhere, so I guess the main thing people get here is bo ne? They were also advertising bo luc lac, but that's the only other food item I saw mentioned. For $20 cash, you can get a plate of sizzling filet mignon slices (cooked to your desired level), a meatball, pate, and egg. Right now because of the egg shortage, they're only giving one egg per order. On the side is also a fresh baguette, salad, and a cup of tea. Because I was the only one ordering from them and I asked for my steak to be cooked rare, my food was done in minutes! It was definitely a heavier breakfast than I'm used to, but I really enjoyed it. The baguette was super fresh and paired well with all the meats. My favorite was actually the pate, which was super flavorful, but everything on the plate was delicious. Too bad I don't live closer, otherwise I'd definitely come back soon!

Really yummy food with a long wait depending on when you arrive. 10m in line to order, 35m to pickup food. Restaurant was a bit harder to find as well as it is located behind the main street in an unlabeled food hall. Seating is a bit difficult due to the popularity of the restaurants in the plaza so although we walked around to explore/try other foods, it did take time to find seating as well. Due to egg shortage, the bo ne comes with one egg but overall is still very filling! Really tender beef and everything was so flavMy husband made his into a sandwich but most people tear pieces off the bread to dip/make smaller custom bites. also appreciated how the bo ne skillet was cow shaped, nice attention to detail.

Wow what a hole in the wall! My friend took me here for lunch and it's located in a low key plaza. Within that plaza is a food court area and many small shops/bakeries around. Highly recommend place because it is yummy. Keep in mind, they only give one egg now due to the shortage and it costs $20 each dish. Cash only. Each dish comes with one egg, two siu mai meatballs, pate, a piece of steak, and a baguette. For the side, it's a small salad with one slice of tomato, one slice of cucumber, and one slice of jalapeño over some lettuce. It also comes with a cup of tea to wash it all down. Don't think the dish is shareable because I was just content / full after eating everything (although I am a big eater). Overall, such a good place to grub! Someone cleans up after you so be sure to tip the table if you can!

My mom and I shared a #1. I could have finished one by myself, but I wanted to save room for all the food that San Jose had to offer. THE BREAD! Crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside. If you're sharing one plate, I recommend ordering another piece of bread for all the spreading, swiping and dipping. THE STEAK! Was cooked to perfection. I asked for medium rare. It was more on the rare side than medium, not a complaint just an observation. Loved the sauce it was cooked with. We absorbed as much as we could with the bread. When I paid, I handed $20 and didn't receive any tip. They didn't tell me how much, but I knew one plate was about that much. My mom and I enjoyed it! For the cost, I would have enjoyed 2 eggs instead of 1, even with the inflation of the cost of eggs. Nonetheless, I would definitely love to come again!

Hands down best Bo Ne place in San Jose, maybe even the Bay Area! The steak is seasoned perfectly, flavorful, and juicy and the bread is light and fluffy. I believe they make their own banh mi here, which explains why it's so much better than other bo ne places. It's nestled in the food court of lion market, so it might be a little difficult to find, but trust me, it's so worth it. Been going here for years and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon

There are only two items on the menu, and as for their namesake dish, they do it very well. Be forewarned that the wait can be quite long - 30-40 minutes from when I ordered, for weekend lunch. You get a pager and wait for it to buzz. I got a hot plate full of grilled rare beef, pate, meatball, onions, and egg, all doused in oyster sauce, along with a baguette to soak up the flavors. There was also a side salad and a cup of tea. Definitely one of the more interesting dishes I have tried and not something you can find outside of a Vietnamese neighborhood.

This is one of the vendors in the Lion Plaza food court. Tables can be hard to find when it's busy. Family told me they have the best bo ne around, and I believe them after trying it. Everything on the plate was incredibly flavorful. The sauce had a sweet soy garlic flavor profile and the meat was flavorful. The baguette is also super soft and is a perfect vessel for eating everything together and soaking up the sauce. The egg adds a little creaminess and the side salad adds a little tartness to the palate. The dish just hits all the right flavor notes for me! Cash only. It does take a while for the food to come out. Expect around 30ish minutes wait for food to be ready. I know they're opening a location in Vietnam Town, so I'm looking forward to that!

Have wanted to try this place out for a while after my friend and I talked about it. It's located in a food court in a plaza. There are a couple different food spots that share a common seating area. Now, we did come at lunchtime, but this place is busy as heck! They have so many orders going out, it made it hard to see even where to order. But that also meant their food should be super tasty with how many orders they were getting. You get a pager after ordering, and we had about a 20-25 minute wait for our order of Bo Ne ($20; cash only). The dish comes on a hot plate and includes steak (I believe filet), pate, a meatball, and two eggs, as well as a baguette, salad, and cup of tea. Be prepared to flip the steak pieces to sear while the hot plate is still hot enough! I asked for medium rare and it did out come on the rarer side but after searing it, it was good. The steak was seasoned perfectly and was super tender and juicy. I really liked the savory pate and spread it on the still warm and soft baguette. The sunnyside up eggs were cooked well too. They soak up the flavor from everything else on the plate, which makes them even more delicious. I didn't have any leftover bread but I would have used it to get any of the remaining sauce. It can be hard finding a table to sit down and eat at. I would recommend coming not directly at lunchtime to avoid a longer wait. But I think it's worth it either way. A quick meal that satisfied my stomach.

Whenever I come down to San Jose, I always suggest to eat here first no matter what. It's definitely my go to spot when visiting San Jose. I feel like there's only one thing to get here which is the Bo Ne with Filet Mignon. If you're unfamiliar with Bo Ne, it is a Vietnamese breakfast dish with steak, eggs, pate, and bread. And Bo Ne Phu Yen makes it best in the Bay (at least compared to the others I've tried). The bread paired with eggs and pate dipped in their savory sweet steak sauce is just SOOOOOO GOOD. I crave this right away when I hear the words "San Jose." The filet mignon is always pretty tender. They tend to undercook the meat if you order medium rare causing the meat to be chewy at times. I would suggest ordering the steak medium. Also, it is CASH ONLY! So be prepared.

Tucked away in a food court, their main plate comes with, an over egg, paté, meat ball, and filet mignon (cooked to your preference), it came out perfectly tender, small salad, small cup of hot tea, and a pillow yet crunchy warm baguette all for $20! Best deal I have seen in san jose. Everything comes out hot and fresh. Cash only here. I also went to the spot next to it and got a fresh sugar cane juice. Will be back , to try the plate that has tomatoe rice.

Was craving Bo Ne and had to come here. It's tucked in with other great restaurants that have different specialties so its good for a group to get different things without having to compromise. Been to a lot of other places that serve BoNe but this place does it the best even the bread is perfect, super fluffy and soft. And I dont even like bread like that but I would eat this bread itself.

I've been going to Lion Plaza for many years now ever since I was a little kid. Recently, social media has been hyping up the sizzling steak plate at Bo Ne Phu Yen., I have eaten at other food stalls inside the food court but never here. So I recently tried it out and went during off peak hours and didn't have to wait that long. I probably waited less than 15 minutes. When my order was ready, it was piping hot and sizzling. For $20, cash only, you get the steak which I got medium, pate, eggs, meatballs, side salad, the airy and crusty bread, and tea. The steak was absolutely tender and paired well with everything on the plate. I really love Vietnamese sizzling steak plates and this is one of the best in San Jose. The owner spoke to me and said that he plans to open a restaurant at Vietnam Town in 2 to 3 months and will ultimately either sell the Lion Plaza location or keep it. He is still not sure. The new Vietnam Town location will offer more menu items and other surprises. I'm excited to see what else is in store and a huge good luck and lots of success to his new location.

My bestie came to visit from Hawaii, so we gotta hit all the spots that she's seen on social media. I've been to the Lion Plaza many times, but for some reason I've never gone into this food court... I actually couldn't figure out which way until I pulled google maps up and realized I walked right past the entrance... oops. For $20, I am honestly surprised how much we get (especially nowadays). We both got our own filet mignon order and that was definitely way too much food, 1 is sharable - 2... we were carrying our stomachs to the car. Just the smell in there alone was intoxicating in the most wonderful way. I am honestly mad I haven't tried this place earlier. Around 9:30am, there was some people, not too packed and thankfully we were able to get a table to sit. Service is minimal as you just order (CASH ONLY) and pick up when they got the tray ready. I still can't believe all the food was only for $20, the steak was cooked perfectly to my preference of medium rare and super juicy on the hot sizzling plate with all the other meats... over easy eggs too. The warm baguette was the perfect accompaniment to grab everything together for the meal - though I would've so had this with rice for lunch or dinner too. It's been 3 months and whenever I'm asked what I want for breakfast, this Bo Ne plate immediately comes to mind... I would totally drive 2 hours for it, waking up early for it. Final Thoughts: This is a very heavy meal (less if you share), but now one of my absolute favorite breakfasts. Will definitely suggest to come here for anyone that comes to visit and honestly I was worried about the social media hype... but it was accurate for how good this place is.

what to say... the food was amazing and to die for! i really didn't know what to expect but everything was so freaking good. like the steak was seasoned to perfection and the pate didn't have a bad taste like some canned ones. ughhh wish i could go here everyday only bad part is you gotta bring cash!

$20 for steak, eggs, pate and a banh mi, such a good deal. Cash only. I usually get my steak medium rare. The steak is savory yet slightly sweet. It really tastes as good as it looks and was exactly what I expected. It can be hard to find a table especially over the weekends since it gets pretty crowded. Also, there is a man who cleans up the tables but isn't very nice so after I finish eating-- I leave quickly.

Went to Bo Ne Phu Yen in Lion Plaza for lunch, their bo ne is delicious compared to other restaurants.

Super super delicious bo ne! We found the food court tucked in the back of the stores thanks to the other reviews, and were pleasantly greeted to the sight of everyone in the food court with this dish in front of them. I was really excited to try it! My group of 4 ordered 2 to share and some other small bites from neighboring stalls. We paid cash and didn't wait more than 20-25 mins on a Saturday lunch rush! Everything was delicious. The food was hot and flavorful, and everything pieced together so well. I'm still craving it!! It also paired very well with the sugarcane juice from the stall nextdoor. I will definitely be back (and I'll get extra pate next time!)

$20 cash and enjoy. Get your food when the buzzer buzz and someone will bus your plates. It's basically in a Vietnamese food court. I like to get the sugar cane juice next to the store!

Saw it on being hyped up on social media and decided to check it out. There was definitely a lot of people that occupied the tiny little food court and many of them ordered from here.. As the chef worked like a machine to prepare the countess orders, you can see people constantly getting up from their seat to pick up their food. Coming up to the cashier, even though I do believe they have other items on the menu, there's only one thing that people go there for.. So, the person simply asked how many orders I wanted. Not even what I wanted, just how many. Ordered a single serving and just patiently waited for my food to get ready. All around Vietnamese flavors of sweet, salty, savory amazingness that comes from a tray of their delicious food. Bread, steak, eggs, some pate, veggies.. happy stomach.

Coming here right when they make their bread is life changing. Their bread is so soft and fluffy. The meat is perfectly cooked and seasoned. The workers are so nice and kind. I would definitely say that this place is the best Bo Ne place in all of San Jose. The eggs are cooked and seasoned well. Combining the bread, steak, pate, and eggs all together gives you the perfect bite. Love this place and will always be coming back.

When a restaurant can get away with only serving a single dish there is a good chance it's going to be an awesome meal and Bo Ne Phu Yen does not disappoint. This was my first time trying Bo Ne, the Vietnamese version of Steak & Eggs, so I didn't have much to compare it to but it certainly exceeded whatever expectations I may have had for it. It's served sizzling with the steak in the process of cooking, giving you ample time to take in the delicious aroma before you dig in. A key feature of Bo Ne is the presence of pate alongside the steak, an addition that reveals the French influence that runs through many modern Vietnamese dishes. I was skeptical about how much I would enjoy the pate but much to my surprise it turned out to be the best part of the dish, providing an incredibly meaty richness to each bite as the flavors blended together. It's served alongside a French roll which becomes the perfect vehicle for soaking up all the rich sauce at the end of the meal and I made sure to not leave a single drop. If you are like me and find yourself rarely venturing east of Highway 87 during your normal routine I highly recommend you commit to making a trip out to Bo Ne Phu Yen to try this unique and flavorsome meal.

located in a food court; best bo ne in the bay! i love coming here. if there's a queue expect to wait around 20-30 mins or more to get your food as they grill it fresh. i can't wait for the new story rd location as it'll be closer to me!

I'd been wanting to try the Bo Ne - steak and eggs dish here for ages. Due to the rising egg costs and egg shortages, they now only give you one egg, but they say they added more pate. I went on a random weekday morning. This place is one of the food stalls in the "food court" area adjacent to the Lion Market plaza. I put in my order - surprisingly they spoke or understand my English pretty well. I ordered my steak medium and the dish was $20. Not sure if they are cash only but I handed over my money. They gave me a pager and told me 10 minutes. I think it was less than 10 minutes but i ran over as soon as the page went off. The steak and eggs were served on a sizzling iron plate, in the shape of a cow. In addition, it also came with a decent size baguette, a salad, a cup of tea, hot sauce and utensils/napkins. It took up the entire tray and looked like so much food. I was afraid I wasn't going to be able to finish it and have to ask for a to-go container. But spoiler alert - I knocked most of it back and only had half my baguette left at the end, which I just wrapped in a napkin and took home. on the sizzling plate was also pate and some onions and cilantro. There were only like 5-6 pieces of steak, that was already cut up for you. But it was so flavorful and tender and cooked to a nice medium, like I wanted. The egg was done sunny side up and that runny yolk was perfect with the steak. The pate - I mostly spread on the baguette, which I ripped up in chunks. Also you can dunk the break into the sauce to sop up that oil and deliciousness. The salad added some fresh bites in between. And the warm tea washed it all down. Not sure if it's solely a breakfast thing, but I would enjoy this again.

This place located inside the Lion Plaza food court area. The food court isn't the cleanest or the newest but there is a lot of traditional Vietnamese food here. Plenty of seating as well. This place is cash only. You would just pick it up when it's ready. The bread was hot and fresh. The salad was nothing crazy. The bo ne here is tasty and savory. The meat was tender and the pate was smooth. Definitely a must try.

They're serving their bo ne with only one egg instead of two now, likely due to egg shortage.

Service was really good! Food was very comforting and warm. The restaurant is sort of in the back of a little plaza with other restaurants. So there are options to choose from. The tea served with the food gives a nice touch. I'll definitely be back.

Cash $20 will get you a very good Bo Ne sizzling beef+meatball+pate+egg meal which comes with the salad and cup of hot tea. Nice. You can choose how you want your items cooked. Good news is since their soft opening in April 2025, they are now open on Saturdays & Sundays too. Old place old kitchen with no upgrades. I only visit when I go withdraw some cash in advance. Absolutely delicious spot. Come early 9/10am weekdays when there are no long lines or crowds and no rush. Tables inside good court are always being cleaned and maintained by workers routinely, but it does get very crowded closer to lunchtime. My Bo Ne meal was especially soft and tender at medium rare beef. Egg was soft and runny too. Pate was delicious and the meatball was homemade unique in taste. Yes, the salad was lightly tossed in vinaigrette. I really enjoyed everything spread evenly onto my baguette which was also very soft and fresh here. Hot chili sauce for dipping is available. Staffs start early here and are very productive daily. I've had many types of Bo Ne sizzling beef meals. This one is also unique in flavors. Overall, good experience. It's a great spot to enjoy a good $20 Bo Ne regularly if you like. Very fulfilling and satisfying for sure.

Bo Ne Phu Yen is located in a food court in the same plaza as Lion Supermarket; there's no signage but you have to walk further in and you'll see crowds of people in the food court area. The area is set up very simply, and finding a seat is a challenge. I went on a Sunday morning sometime before 11 and people were already standing like hawks to swoop up tables as diners finished. The stall is set up in the far corner of the food court, and you basically walk up to place an order and pay as they hand you a pager and pump out the dishes. I was quoted a 20 minute wait, which gave me time to get some sugarcane juice next door and find seating outside. Typically Bo Ne refers to a Vietnamese breakfast dish of braised beef and eggs served on a hot plate, the Asian equivalent of steak and eggs. The dish here comes with a baguette, salad, and tea. I would say skip the salad, but the beef slices were very flavorful and tender. The pate, sauce and egg goes great with the baguette, which was nice and fluffy. The meat ball wasn't quite my favorite, but otherwise the dish was solid. Unfortunately because of social media fame, they have really steep prices--$20 cash for a breakfast in a bustling food court. Overall I think this place is worth a try if you've never tried Bo Ne before.

This is so good! The bread is super, the pâté is good, the meat and sauce is good. They are always nice to me. It can get really busy and kind of a long wait, but it's worth it. If you don't want to wait, come when or before they open. ***Also, they are moving soon to vietnam town on story road. They will be on the Walmart side.

Nestled in a food court, it was still pretty easy to grab seats around 12pm for lunch. It's cash only and took about 30 minutes for the food to come out when we placed 4 orders. The bo ne comes with steak at your preferred doneness level, 2 eggs, meatball, pate, side salad, baguette, soy sauce, and tea. It's a great value for $20. The baguette was perfect, crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Use the soy sauce sparingly because I made my meal a bit too salty trying to use the full amount that they give. The sizzling plate it came out on didn't stay hot for long (which is an anomaly according to a friend), since it usually stays hot long enough for his pate to get crispy on the bottom. Good place for a vietnamese breakfast, or if you're just craving steak in general.

Made a special trip here but honestly I can't rate it as high as others based on the novelty and other factors. First off this place is not easy to find. It's NOT inside the Lion Market although parking is in the same plaza. Facing Lion Market, find a small alley (could be blocked by other merchandize displayed out), walk pass the small alley and enter another court yard. Then in the middle of the court yard there's the food court, and Bo Ne is inside the food court. So now I understand why all the Yelper pictures don't show a proper menu picture. Anyhow, on a Sunday noon lunch time, this place is already swamped. The small short handed staff cannot handle so many orders, I was told to wait 40-50 minutes to order. So I backed off. However! My friend ordered ahead of mine and managed to get his order in 40 minutes and I got to try a piece of the beef. It is soft and the plate is saucy. The order comes with bread and the iron plate of 2 eggs and fillet mignon beef. The new price is $20, CASH ONLY. I did not give it too many high points for novelty because there are other sizzling plate restaurants. In comparison, it's not bad but can't say it's worth a trip to come here just for it. The Quan Hue next door is much more worthy.

So hard to find the place that sell authentic Bo Ne which is sizzling beef, serves with pate, eggs and salads. This restaurant only sells one type of dish, so you know that they are mastering their signature dish. The restaurant is in the food court, so you will need to pay at the counter and they will buzz you when the food is ready. I went there last Saturday, and it was very busy, so wait around 20-30 mins are expected. It is a little hard to find, but you will need to walk thru a big gate that lead into a separate food court. Hope you found it and enjoy the food! It tastes like something you can get in Vietnam!

Food is hot and fresh. Great value and service was good. Busy food court and ambiance full of life and energy. Get there early to grab a seat because theres always a battle for seating

This place is so popular within the Lion plaza for the beef sizzling plate. It's located in the far back corner from when you first enter. Everything is made to order so it honestly took quite some time for the ringer to start buzzing to pick it up. It's $20 per meal and comes with bread, a small salad, and of course the sizzling plate with the egg. There honestly very little portions of the steak (which was good quality, but I wish there was more of). Overall it was flavorful and fun to eat all together, but nothing outstanding. It's pretty pricy in my opinion for the little amount of good stuff (the steak) you are getting. The only thing they ask you when you come up is how many do you want and how do you like the meat cooked given that they only sell this one thing for their menu. Bring cash!!

Probably the best Bo Ne here in the Bay Area. They make it all fresh and your meal comes with a salad + tea. You are also able to tell them how you want your meat cooked. My tip is to just get it medium rare and cook it on the skillet until it cooks all the way. All of the flavors go so well together and for $20, this dish is so good. FYI, this place only takes CASH, so be prepared.

Located in the food court, this place has the best Bo Ne. Very flavorful, meat was cooked perfectly. I liked the tea and little side salad as well. There is atm machines but it's best to bring cash.

This is THE PLACE to get Bo Ne. I might be a little bias since I ate here a lot growing up but it is just as good as I remember it. Everything on it is so flavorful and delicious. I've tried other Bo Ne places but they do not compare. It is cash only so remember to bring some cash! The owners are very nice as well. The place is in a small food court so the tables are first come first serve.

Some darn good Be Ne! They know they are doing and have perfected it and that's all they serve!! The rates have increased since it's been a while since we've visited previously but where hasn't it though!?? Anyhow, when we're craving for some delicious be ne breakfast, you gotta go here, it won't disappoint. The only thing that will disappoint is the seating situation in this food hall. They really need to plan their space and seating for efficiently. Maybe long tables where people need to share space to accommodate for more. It's busy in this food court, people will be posting around you to wait to snatch up your table, so be prepared!! There's seating outside as well so maybe it's better when the weather is better but when we went it was a cold day so everyone hunkered inside.

Went for Breakfast Food - 5/5. Everything about the bo ne was excellent. Steak had beautiful grill marks yet maintained a rare doneness. It was so tender that you could cut it with the plastic spoon! Seasoning was great with plenty of garlic and the chili oil gave it an even bigger umami boost with a hint of spice. Pate was very rich with none of the gamey, irony flavor aftertaste. It easily soaked into the garlic oil sauce and the egg yolk, creating a super umami sauce to dip your bread in. The mixture was made for topping onto carbs and both dipping it with the bread or mixing it with the rice was an equally delicious experience. The salad was very refreshing as it was actually dressed in a light vinaigrette. The tomato shocked me as visually it looked like it would be watery, but it was actually firm and very sweet. The quality of their ingredients was showcased in every part of the meal. Service - 4/5. It was a little difficult to order but I believe they ask about the doneness of your steak and I was able to manage that I would like to pay for a side of rice. They give you a beeper once you order and you can hear them ring the bell when your food is ready. Value - 5/5 .The bo ne platter only comes to $20 which is an amazing value for the generous amounts of high quality food. Rice was an extra $3, which felt fair. Although I did not ask specifically, it looked like a cash only operation so I would come prepared. Parking - Mall Lot (Free)

This spot only sells one dish (Bo Ne) for $20 cash. I like simplicity like this since they just focus on making their one specialty real good. The Bo Ne itself isn't life changing. It will taste as you expect--steak, eggs, pate, and bread. If that's your jam in general, you will enjoy it. Of course the presentation makes it even more appetizing. For some legit Bo Ne, check out this joint!
