" Lion Plaza has always been a go-to spot for me and my family for their amazing variety of Vietnamese foods. The macarons and pastries available from the bakery are phenomenal! You can taste the authenticity with every bite. Unfortunately, the seating areas are cramped, especially during peak times. Wish they would address that! Still, worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" We visited for a casual family outing, and the food did not disappoint! The pho here is some of the best I’ve had outside of Vietnam. The only downside was the cleanliness; the tables could use a thorough cleaning. Aside from that, the staff were friendly and efficient. " (*Curated Review*)

" I regularly come to Lion Plaza, and honestly, it feels like a second home! The flavors remind me of my grandmother’s cooking back in Vietnam. Each meal feels authentic, just how it should be. I particularly enjoy the grilled dishes and the fresh herbs that accompany them. The atmosphere may feel a little run down, but the food more than makes up for it. A great spot if you're in San Jose! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve come to Lion Plaza numerous times and each meal has been memorable due to the authentic dishes. The seafood is always fresh, and portions are adequate. However, the food court atmosphere leaves something to be desired as it can feel cramped and unkempt. Overall, the quality of food shines through! " (*Curated Review*)

" Lion Plaza has been my go-to spot for years. The bakery inside has the most amazing coconut buns that remind me of my childhood. I've tried various dishes, and while some are better than others, the overall quality of food is commendable. I do wish they would spot-clean the food court area more often. " (*Curated Review*)

" The no-frills vibe of Lion Plaza adds to its charm for me! I love discovering hidden gems in its food court. However, some vendors are hit or miss, so make sure to ask for recommendations. I once had a soup that was way too salty, but then I tried the banh mi that was so fresh and delicious. Overall, worth visiting for the authentic Vietnamese experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Lion Plaza offers a unique dining experience that you won't find elsewhere in the area. The authentic Vietnamese food is what kept me coming back. I recommend trying the barbecue pork, which is top-notch. I will say the cleanliness of the dining area could be improved, as it feels a bit neglected. " (*Curated Review*)
