"Today, San Jose has the largest Vietnamese population in any city outside of Vietnam. And here is where you’ll find Pho Kim Long, a no-frills pho shop that opened its doors more than 35 years ago. As one of the most long-standing restaurants in the South Bay area, Pho Kim Long remains committed to original pho recipes that were enjoyed in Vietnam. The restaurant is known for its hearty beef broth that’s simmered for more than 20 hours using an array of meats — USDA grass-fed filet mignon, tendon, tripe, flank, and brisket — all of which are delivered to the restaurant daily. The barbeque vermicelli bowls, sizzling grilled fish, and rice dishes are also frequently ordered options." - Octavio Peña
"Pho Kim Long is one of the oldest pho spots in the South Bay and opened its doors 35 years ago. When the owners left Vietnam and immigrated to California, they aimed to bring a piece of home with them. To this day, the restaurant still relies on the same original recipes. The Pho Combo comes with a rich, beef-based broth that’s simmered for more than 20 hours and the noodles are topped with a generous array of meat – filet mignon slices, tendon, tripe, flank, and brisket. If you’re not feeling soupy, the barbeque vermicelli bowls, sizzling grilled fish, and rice dishes are also solid options." - Cathy Park
