Note:
this
is
the
brick
and
mortar
store
for
"Plant-Based
Vegan
Vietnamese"
restaurant,
as
well
as
"Big
Bites
Vietnamese
Eatery".
They
have
two
separate
menus
on
GrubHub
and
PBVV
is
shown
as
in
the
Safeway
on
Google
Maps
but
is
not
really
there.
As
you
can
see
by
the
aforementioned
note
we
were
all
confused
when
we
got
here
as
to
whether
or
not
this
was
the
right
place.
My
wife
ordered
food
from
GrubHub
here
earlier
in
the
week
and
she
enjoyed
the
food,
so
we
decided
to
go
back
so
that
I
could
try
for
myself.
We
each
ordered
a
bowl
of
Veggie
Pho,
apparently
you
can
order
Faux
Chicken
Pho
off
the
Plant
Based
Vegan
Vietnamese
menu,
but
it
is
not
on
the
in-store
menu.
We
also
ordered
veggie
egg
rolls
and
shrimp
toast
as
an
appetizer.
The
food
came
out
quickly
and
was
served
with
a
small
paper
plate
of
basil,
bean
sprouts,
limes,
and
three
slices
of
jalapeño.
Egg
roll
review:
crisp
outside,
mushy
inside,
standard
sweet
and
sour
sauce.
Came
fresh
from
the
fryer,
the
crispy
outside
was
the
only
plus
to
this
dish
and
didn't
carry
it
very
far.
Flavor
was
ok,
a
bit
lacking,
too
many
cellophane
noodles
making
the
insides
too
soft.
Generously
2
out
of
5
stars.
Shrimp
Toast:
also
delivered
fresh
from
the
fryer,
very
crispy
outside,
but
just
tasted
like
frying
oil.
Dipped
in
the
green
ranch(?)
tasted
better,
but
did
nothing
to
cut
through
the
greasiness.
1
out
of
5
stars.
Veggie
Pho:
broth
was
actually
ok.
I
prefer
regular
beef
broth,
but
for
a
veggie
broth
it
was
ok.
Plenty
of
noodles,
but
too
many
big
chunks
of
horse
carrot!
I
found
myself
just
eating
bite
after
bite
of
hunks
of
carrot
that
it
dominated
and
took
over
the
flavor
of
the
entire
dish
and
really
ruined
the
bowl
of
noodles.
2
out
of
5
very
generously
given.
All
in
all
the
food
was
not
very
good
and
the
prices
were
equivalent
to
any
other
Pho
house
in
San
Jose,
around
$15
for
a
bowl
of
lack
luster
noodles,
plus
more
for
tasteless
fried
food.
Based
on
the
variety
of
other
Vegan
cuisine
in
the
area
I
would
recommend
going
somewhere
else
for
vegan
cuisine.
If
you
are
going
for
Vietnamese
food
keep
driving
till
you're
in
San
Jose
to
get
your
fix.
