Nice small Vietnamese restaurant. Large menu, Staff was very friendly and helpful. Server helped me decide which Pho dish I would like. TV nearby so I could watch the game at the same time. Quick service. Large serving of Pho. I took some home.

I ordered the âSeafood Trio in Bisque Sauce,â which was pan seared salmon filet, prawns, pork and shrimp wontons, served on a bed of garlic seasoned noodles with a seafood bisque flavor. This meal was excellent. I absolutely loved it. And it was very much unlike any meal I have eaten at other restaurants. Congratulations to the chef and owner. I was tempted to order an interesting appetizer and soup as my entire meal (mushroom tartelette and American Wagyu Pho soup simmered for 10 hours!); perhaps during my next visit. The waitress was very helpful in explaining each offering on the menu about which I asked. The menu choices are quite different than most restaurants so I needed help to understand. The owner is polite and cordial. I think Elyse is one of the very best restaurants in San Jose and the whole of the South Bay. The interior is quite attractive, classy, but not overstated. Customers will fit in if they are dressed up or if they are casual. My personal recommendation is not to wear shorts, but that is my idea, not the ownerâs. This is also a restaurant to which I would not bring little kids. The night I had dinner, Elyse played background music that was perfect for the setting and not very loud so it was easy to have private conversations with your dining partners. Elyse serves only dinner starting at 5:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday.Parking is either street or structure; however the VTA light rail stops right in front of Elyse so think about that option.

Probably one of the best or the best I tried the Vietnamese pho stall in San Jose. Very packed during lunch time but the queue cleared pretty fast. Lots of varieties on the Vietnamese food for dry or soupy or for beef or non beef! Ordered the typical rice paper spring roll and the running chicken soupy pho wonât go too wrong for me as I donât take beef. There are choices of dry pho and looks really great! Stall is big enough to cater for many guests and the ambience is expected to be typical Vietnamese pho stall standards ! Food was really great and I love it ..
