Cha Ca Long Phung

This place deserves 5 stars just because of one thing: egg rolls. This is probably my favorite (Vietnamese) egg roll place in the whole Bay Area. They look super simple and just like any other egg roll but once you eat one you can't stop eating them. What makes it even more amazing is that they still taste good even after they become cold. There are so many layers of taste within each bite of the egg roll it's hard to describe the taste. Just go there and buy some egg rolls and judge yourselves. No other egg roll places even come close if we are only taking about taste. This is operated by the parents of the now closed LP egg rolls so I'm so glad they kept this store open. They also have other interesting snacks but for me egg rolls are why I drive an hour for. This is not a restaurant so you can't eat inside but order the egg rolls to go and enjoy in your car or your home. This is a very small strip mall so parking can be difficult.

First of all this place is known for their fried fish patties made with 100% fresh fish that meat are taken deboned and made into patties with fresh dill onion and a few other seasonings very tasty you can add this patties sliced up into your favorite ramen or any noodle like udon and make it taste fantastic. Another specialty are their meaty mushroomy and peppery egg rolls very close to the original recipes if not, the one. They are freshly fried to golden perfection and at only $1.50 each they are a must grab but be careful because they are always piping hot and ready to go I usually get 5 at leasts just for myself and a Vietnamese style sandwich which tasted very good compare to other places. The pate is on point. You can taste the wine that goes into it very good French recipe. They also have reasonable party trays that’ll fit any pot luck or parties. They are a Togo only store without seatings of any kind. And they take cash only so if you make it out there don’t forget your Andrew your Hamilton and your grant because their prices haven’t change much since before the inflation so most time you wouldn’t need to bring your Benjamin’s enjoy.

Came here to pickup for a party and the egg rolls and fried shrimp were superb! Will definitely come back again! Tips: Cash only, Call in your order early, If you want the Pate Chaud order early!

I’ve ordered trays of egg rolls from here and have also tried some of their other dishes at parties. The egg rolls I’ve ordered have always been well-seasoned, piping hot, crispy, and ADDICTIVE. They do not skimp on the meat filling at all for the price! Although I’ve seen them accommodating large last-minute orders, I would highly suggest calling your party trays at least 24 hours in advance.

Great little spot to pick up egg rolls and fish Pattie’s or trays of other items like rice and shrimp.

My go to spot for catering when it comes to egg rolls and their fried shrimp. Each time I host a party, folks ask where I got them and it's a huge hit! Good alternative other than your average pizza party. One thing I really appreciate is they always fry everything minutes before your pickup time so it's scorching hot and fresh 🙌🏼

One of my favorite place to eat. Their fish Pattie’s and egg rolls are out this world. Quickly served and always with a smile. Their party trays and food are reasonably price but worth its weight in gold. The store might not look so new but that’s the charm of it I really wish less people knows about this place because I wanted it all for myself.

Delicious egg rolls (and cheap!) with pick up catering. Purchased food for a family gathering. Prices were fair, food was outstanding, and price was extremely reasonable! No need to order in advance for many items....great for last minute add ons when you realize you didn't cook enough for a party/gathering! I will be returning for sure.

Pretty sure I found our new eggroll spot! They have the most delicious crisp Vietnamese eggrolls, with the cellophane threads, carrot slivers, and minced meat! 10/10 would recommend coming here. I booked a couple trays for Super Bowl already!

This location is tucked away in an unassuming plaza. I called and pre-ordered some egg rolls, spring rolls, and.nem nuong rolls. When I arrived, there was a short line in front of me, but I saw my egg rolls ready off to the side. Then I noticed that the other cashier was taking egg rolls from that box and handing it out to the people who are ordering when it was my turn, the cashier in front of me finally noticed what the other cashier was doing, but by then it was too late and she had given away some of my eggrolls. They told me it would take up to 10 minutes or more to make some more fresh ones, but I didn't have that time to wait so I just took what I had, and they just charged me for what I had. I will say the best thing about this place is the price and the sauce. Both of those things are great. The actual rolls were not my favorite. The nem nuong looked pale pink, and the egg rolls were crunchy, but kind of bland? Of course, everything can be hidden with the sauce, but I don't think I would order party platters from here again. I would still be interested in ordering their fish cake/patties since that's what they're named for, but I'll try other places for my eggrolls and spring rolls.

Whenever I'm in SJ I walkways try to pick up banh mi pork and mayo to make little banh mi charcuterie boards at home. This is one of my go to spots since there's no long line, have a solid selection of Vietnamese specialty items and everything is well priced. One tricky thing about this place is that my GPS never leads me here lol it always brings me to some obscure parking structure.

Best eggrolls, fried fish meatball, and fried shrimp!! They also other foods that are delicious as well. Cash only!

Cha Ca Long Phung is the only place I go to for egg rolls. The skin is always crispy and the filling is packed with meat. They are fresh, flavorful (no sauce needed) and not too oily. The restaurant is incredibly consistent, which is why this is my go-to for party trays, family gatherings, and celebrations. For the quality and portion size, it's cheaper than a lot of other places that don't even come close in taste.

We recently ordered from this place for a holiday party, they did not disappoint! Our food was ready to go when we asked to be picked up at 10:30am. Someone did end up taking our already made egg rolls, so they ended up making fresh egg rolls (and they were still warm upon arriving to our house!). We really enjoyed the hoisin peanut sauce for the spring rolls as well. Overall, great quality and well made food! We will definitely be going back for future catering needs.

Ordered a tray of fried shrimp (tom chien) for a party and it was a hit! It was gone within an hour. I didn't even get a chance to take a photo, but next time I will The shrimp was fresh, warm, crispy, and delicious There was a short wait in line. The inside is small but packed with lots of snacks and goodies Price was reasonable: $35 + $4 tax = $39 total. Just a heads-up, it's cash only Parking is limited in the lot, but I was able to find a spot. If not, street parking is available nearby

BEST VIETNAMESE MEATBALLS EVER! My mom heard about this place from a friend while she was in town and made me drive her here just to buy the frozen meatballs. I was skeptical, but after trying them I totally get the hype. Even my super picky friend loved them. They taste fresh, flavorful, and don't have that gamy beef taste you sometimes get. Totally worth the trip! Every time I go down to socal, I would buy pounds of meatballs for my family haha. Please note, the place only takes cash or zelle. The ladies are very friendly. There are other items as well but I haven't tried them yet.

Amazing food, but unfortunately cash only.. The egg rolls are amazing. We also ordered a tray of papaya salad, and orange sticky rice.

Egg rolls: omg sooo good! reminds of childhood! the taro in it, chef's kiss. Fish cake, delicious fresh! Spring rolls: meh, wouldnt buy again unless i was starving

Food 5/5 Service 5/5 Ambiance 3/5 Must try these for party trays: -Eggrolls -tempura shrimps -Banh bot lot It's unfortunate they don't make fried rice or stir fried noodles anymore.

I never would have suspected this to be a great egg roll spot but it was highly recommended by my uncle. We ordered a party tray of egg rolls and after trying several around SJ, these might be the best. I've tried some of the newer fancier places and they just didn't hit the spot. They're you're classic Vietnamese egg rolls and have just the right amount of fillings and seasonings. I think what makes them so good is the taro inside and having the right amount of seasoning. We did order a party tray so I expected them to not be super crispy any more but was really surprised that they still had a great crunch. I also thought they gave us some fish sauce but it's actually more like a Thai sweet chili sauce.

Kept seeing a lot of this place on social media about their egg rolls so decided to come try it. If you're looking for a variety of egg rolls they only have (shrimp mixed with pork) each one is $1.75, they were nice and crunchy little small compared to (king egg roll) but wasn't a huge fan. They're alright. We went in on a Monday and it wasn't too busy, service was fast. They do have a lot of other food items and other small items. My personal opinion i wont be like "oh I'm craving these again".

Absolutely delicious Vietnamese egg rolls!!! They are comparable to King Eggroll but tend to be slightly sweeter and cheaper! Crispy texture on the outside, and I love the vermicelli noodles mixed with the meat. The only thing is unlike King Eggroll where the eggrolls remain crispy hours later including a drive to SF, Cha Ca Long Phung's eggrolls get soggy. They also do not give any sweet and sour sauce or some kind of fish sauce to go with it, so your mouth will feel oily and dry after eating a few. The place is not huge and looks run down like most of the Vietnamese shops in San Jose. Workers are friendly but cash only. Definitely top egg rolls in the Bay Area! Try their fish cake too! It is a burst of flavors: both sweet and savory and also chewy! So good! Note: The egg rolls and fish cakes are delicious!

The best Vietnamese egg rolls in the east side very nice staff. Highly recommended. Different goodies to try and very clean.

Long Phung is our go-to spot for egg rolls -- especially when Mom and Pops isn't available. Crispy, delicious, and perfectly seasoned -- they never miss. Every time I'm on this side of town, it's basically a rule that I stop by and grab a dozen. My hubby doesn't ask if I went -- he asks how many I brought home.

Yes indeed, Chả Cá Long Phụng makes the best authentic Vietnamese eggrolls even though their price has gone up by a quarter still $1.75 is more than reasonable yet they're sell like hot cakes popular among party goers and caterers. Loved them egg rolls and bánh pate số (pate chaud) my favorite comes in pork so crunchy and fulfilling at $2 a piece. Employees are so attentive and helpful. Parking can be a real challenge even on the weekends not the best time.

Egg rolls are beyond amazing! $1.75 each. I got them to go and when I got home they were still to hot to eat. Comes with the sweet chili sauce as well.

Truly the best egg rolls I've ever had. So moist and crispy. The sauce that comes with it is phenomenal. I have tried many egg rolls in San Jose and truly nothing compares. You have to try them!! Currently priced $1.75 per egg roll I will admit that's pricey but I would say worth it. Treat yourself!!

This is the best place for eggrolls! My family and I have placed party trays of eggrolls from here and it's always been a hit. It's pretty much always expected at friends/family gatherings now. LP also sell the eggrolls frozen too-- it's cheaper and you just fry it up at home. Delicious. The only gripe about this place is the parking lot is small. It's usually not a problem though because the area is not busy, but if it ever is, it's such a pain to wait for a spot to open up.

Best eggrolls!!! This is a hidden gem! Its even good cold. Prices have gone up but so is everything else...

Sometimes it's good enough to be good at just one thing. In this case, Cha Ca Long Phung is the best egg roll place in 50 miles (that I've found so far). But that's it. Otherwise, it's a small store with a variety of goods and food but there are no descriptions so unless you're familiar with Vietnamese food, you might have no idea what to order. FOOD: Amazing egg rolls. Seriously. Best I've ever had so far. Crisp without being too greasy. Stuffed with more meat than veggies. And just great flavor overall. The sauce is only okay. I tend to use my own. But the egg rolls are so good I don't even need it. One day I'll have to learn how to order some of the other items. SERVICE: Always quick and friendly. So quick. They seem to have egg rolls at the ready. COST: Beyond reasonable. And so good! You can get full for under $5. When was the last time you could say that about anything?

Always easy to pre order and pickup. This place never disappoints for eats catering for parties/events.

My favorite spot to order a party tray of egg rolls. I honestly think ordering egg rolls here is better than ordering from king egg roll. I usually call ahead by a couple of days to order about 30 egg rolls and they're always on time if not early. It's under $2 for each egg roll. Cash only. They also have a crab asparagus soup that's not on the menu where you also need to call and order a couple days ahead. But it's a thicker gelatinous soup and you bring your own pot. Depending on the size of the pot it's about $50-70 for a huge pot of soup. If you don't have a big enough pot, they will let you borrow one but you have to give a $30 deposit. Once you bring back the pot, they'll give your $30 back. The soup is amazing for parties and with white pepper.

If you like fish or shrimp patty they make it the best. I would recommend getting them to make meals for your family.. that's if you like Asian food lol

Delicious eggrolls and the best in SJ IMO. One time, they didn't have enough for the number of eggrolls I wanted to buy and they asked me to wait 10 minutes. They were done in 10 minutes as promised. So worth the wait for fresh, crispy eggrolls! The parking lot is small which can be a nuisance. Another nuisance is they take cash only.

We called ahead the day before to order a tray of 25 Egg Rolls for pickup at a specific time. When we got there, the food was ready. The staff were friendly. Regarding the egg rolls, they were very crispy. I like that it was not very oily and seemed to have more meat and less veggies. I think I would choose this place over King Eggroll or Jade China if I had to order a tray of Egg Rolls next time. Inside the store is for ordering food to go. There is no inside seating. Also a small parking lot in this little plaza. Will be back again.

The best things sometimes don't need many words to explain. The best Vietnamese egg rolls in town. Buy in bulk/party tray or by the single you will not regret it!!

They shorted me 2 egg rolls when I bought 75 but only received 73. They need to double check.

This is the best place to buy fish cakes and egg rolls. We usually come here when we are going to a party. We buy a full tray of 50 to 100 frozen egg rolls. I think I paid $1.20 each frozen egg rolls. They also sell fully deep fried and ready to eat egg rolls to go. It's really good. Their fish cake here is the best in town and very tasty. They are super busy especially during weekends. There is parking up front so it's very convenient. Service is always good with friendly warm greetings. Cheers!

Come here for the egg rolls. It's always a hit at parties. Wish the service was a bit faster, but it is what it is. Cash only.

first time I had their fried shrimp was for a christmas party and someone brought this with them, and I was so amazed by how good it was, i decided to go and order it myself for another christmas party and it was a hit, everybody finished it in less than an hour. I got the small tray which was under $30, they take cash only, but I had no issue with this. This store is a little bit tucked in a plaza that isn't crowded and is across eastridge mall. A little difficult to find as it is in a corner of the plaza, but was easy enough at the same time!!

Our go to place for spring rolls and egg rolls when we're in town visiting family. We've tried other places but always end up back to Cha Ca Long Phung. Can't come too late for spring rolls, they do run out. They only make a certain amount and usually they run out if you come here later in the day.

They increased the price and reduce the quality of the fish cake. It much smaller and thinner , don't expect to be the same as before.

Their eggrolls are the best! Super flavorful and the only eggrolls my son will eat. You can also order party trays off foods for parties.

Had a real nice time here and it honestly felt like the kind of place you could just drop into and feel comfy right away, nothing too fancy or loud but still clean and welcoming with a warm kind of vibe from the folks working there who seemed to actually care about you enjoying yourself and checking in but not too much, the food was suprisingly good with flavors that seemed fresh and cooked just right like someone took their time in the kitchen which was appreciated and even the little things like the way the food came out hot and the portions being just enough without going overboard made it a pleasant time all around, the staff smiled a lot and seemed to be in a good mood which kinda rubs off on you when you sit and relax, def worth a visit if youre in the area and hungry for something solid without the fuss.

CASH only. I only get their egg rolls, always fresh and ready. Order tray at least an hour ahead. Very small shop and parking lot, sometimes I park on sidewalk and walk in. Limited customer service, you tell cashier what you want and then pay and leave. ~$40 for 27 egg rolls.

The place has really good egg rolls, especially when eaten fresh. They are $1.75 each. I asked for a volume discount (40pieces) but they said no. There's other dry goods there but egg rolls is the main draw.

3.5 STARS While on my way to Carmel, I made the split decision to exit off Tully to get some Bánh Bèo, cutting through several lanes like a Daly City rice rocket. *Vroom Vroom* It was one of those rare occasions that there was no traffic on 101, nor to exit Tully so don't worry, I did it safely. =) I've had Đại Lợi and Chả Cá Long Phụng bookmarked but decided to go to the latter one since it had more reviews. Since they're less than a block away from each other, I now regret not going to both and doing a side-by-side comparison for their bánh bèo. Chả Cá Long Phụng is a small neighborhood Viet deli located in a small plaza. On a Friday around 11 am, there was no line. M E N U Their namesake: Chả Cá (fish cakes) and a variety of carb heavy prepared foods particularly from the Huế region - Bánh Bèo: Water fern cakes, Bánh Bột Lọc: Tapioca dumplings, Bánh ít Trần: Sticky rice dumpling, Xôi (sticky rice), Gỏi Cuốn/Nem Cuốn (shrimp or pork sausage spring rolls), etc. No Bánh Cuốn (Viet rice noodle rolls) at the time. There were no price tags on these items. In the warmers, there was Pâté Chaud (savory meat pastry) and Chả Giò (fried egg rolls). They also have a variety of packaged snacks+sweets, desserts (Chè), and bottled drinks. Catering trays available with pre-order. Cc's accepted but not sure what the minimum is. F O O D ***Link to food: https://tinyurl.com/3t6ztpwu * Chả Cá: Fish cakes Best item of the bunch - savory with a smooth and springy bounce to it. Mild flavor, not fishy tasting. * Bánh Bèo Tray: Water fern cakes Disappointing - too much water was used in the batter so all the bánh bèo were clumped together into one mass (when trying to pull apart, it tore apart). They were topped with dried shrimp and fried shallots. The accompanying mung beans were too sweet, same with the nước chấm (fish dipping sauce). For deli/takeout bánh bèo, Bánh Bèo Tolan on Senter is a much better option and cheaper too. * Combo Bánh Tray -- Bánh Bèo: Water fern cakes See above. -- Bánh Bột Lọc: Tapioca dumplings Best of the three; satisfyingly chewy dumpling with a savory pork belly and shrimp filling topped with mỡ hành (scallion oil). -- Bánh ít Trần: Sticky rice dumplings Nice QQ chew but the mung bean filling was too sweet. My total for the above items was $18 (pre-tip). S E R V I C E The two ladies working there are very nice and you can see the smile behind the masks. A M B I A N C E Hole-in-the-wall, takeout only spot. P A R K I N G Kinda tight parking in the shared private lot. Not enough parking spaces for the amount of businesses there so I can imagine the parking situation being a nightmare on the weekends. Overall, get the Chả Cá (fish cakes) because that's their specialty. I'm kicking myself for not also getting their Chả Giò (fried egg rolls) because they got rave reviews...I mean, you know it's lit when people buy them by the tray! 3.5 stars rounded up for a local small business.

This place has amazing Vietnamese food and their catering service awesome! My mom cooking is the best (as most will say that about their moms) so it's hard to find a restaurant that can par up to mother's home cook meals.. and this place does it.. Highly recommended it... Note this is more take out and catering, no place to sit and eat.. Try it - you will like it :)

Egg rolls here are expensive over $1.50...that says a lot about this place. They are really nice, I think it's family business. People on the holidays would buy egg rolls here party tray style. It doesn't change the price!

The best of what San Jose has to offer. Hidden gem. Hole in the wall. IYKYK. LP. Whatever you want to call it, this is the place a real OG would come get their eggrolls. First of all, they open way earlier than King Eggroll and it is always crispy, no matter what time of day you come get it. The prices are better and the filling is just so much better. The only issue I have is that they are closed on Tuesday, which happens to be my favorite day of the week to eat LP. They offer many other items - prepackaged and freshly fried. There are also catering options. No frills no thrills type of establishment and they are always busy. Parking can get tough if you come later in the day, but don't let that deter you from the best eggrolls that San Jose has to offer. Cash only like all great things, so make sure you come prepared. Each eggroll is roughly like $1.5ish with tax included. Come here for your fix!

Everything I got here was a crowd pleaser! Definitely stop by here if you have a party or need to bring something for a potluck! My brother did a phone pick up the day before and our food was ready the next day, and on time! We got bánh bột lạc, egg rolls, and Tom chiến. Thế tôm chiên (fried shrimp) was my favorite, it was sweet and crunchy! All of this was around $100+ though, which is typically expected for a large order. Very worth it though, everyone at the party loved snacking on the food.

We catered 150 egg rolls for a party. They were a bit hit! Fresh and crunchy. Personally like them better than King Egg Rolls because their stuffing is delicious, well seasoned, and meat to veggie ratio was good! They're very responsive. Cash only.

Their eggs rolls are super delicious and meaty. It's nothing compare to King Egg rolls . Their egg rolls here had less vegetables and more meat inside . Their service is great ! Nice people and service is quick as well . The only thing is that they only accept CASH no credit card . The place plaza is small and tight parking as well, but you can find parking . They are located in the corner , so you won't miss it . I recommend their egg rolls it's super delicious.

Excellent egg rolls! The best.. parking is ok, can be tricky.. CASH Only is the reason I give only 4 stars! But the egg rolls r sooo good

$1.53 per egg roll. This place is bomb! 100x better than king egg roll. Also keep in mind this is vietnamese style while king egg roll is more Chinese style with more veggies. Too bad Tully is so far.

I've never ordered from here before and was requested by my family to buy cha ca since I was making a trip to San Jose. They wanted 10 lbs so I called to see if I had to place an order before hand or if there was a limit per person. I called when they opened and told them I'm coming from out of town and will be at the shop by 2. When I got here, I told them my name for my order and they brought it out in doubled bags. People came in wanting cha ca but they were out for the day. So, I was super glad I called ahead. The cha ca paste was individually wrapped per pound and were frozen. They offered me an insulated bag to keep the frozen paste in but then ended telling me it's $5. Which was fine... I ended buying the ready prepared foods that were on the table. Spring rolls with pork and shrimp, nem nuong, banh beo/banh bot loc plate, fried rice crackers, french bread and cha lua. We tried everything in the car while driving back home. The foods were either too sweet or too salty. The french bread didn't taste very fresh. Banh beo is my favorite but it wasn't good from here. The banh was too wet and their fish sauce was way too sweet. The spring rolls were good but sauce and nem nuong were too salty. The fried rice crackers were a really good snack. We were really disappointed in the cha lua. I bought one with banana leaf wrapped and one with foil wrapped. Neither one were good... Customer service was ok when I walked in... They were nice after I bought $157 worth of food... and even gave me half a baguette for free.... If you buy food here just stick with cha ca. That's the only thing I would ever get if I come back here.
