" Bun Bo Hue Dong Ba has a great selection of traditional Vietnamese dishes. I love ordering their BBH as it never fails to taste fresh and authentic. The seating can get cramped during dinner rush, but the food is well worth the wait and squeeze. I’ve never had a bad experience here and appreciate the genuine hospitality shown by the staff. If you're craving Hue-style dishes, look no further! " (*Curated Review*)

" Whenever I am in the mood for some real Vietnamese comfort food, I rush to Bun Bo Hue Dong Ba. There’s a certain charm about the place — it may look chilled and unassuming, but the food never ceases to amaze me. I always start with their Banh Beo, which never disappoints — soft with just the right amount of topping. Then I move onto the Bun Bo Hue, which is so flavorful! Slightly spicy with that characteristic lemongrass aroma, it's everything I want in a bowl. Do note that it can get busy, but the comfortable vibe makes the wait worthwhile. They recently started taking credit cards, which is a bonus! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been coming to Bun Bo Hue Dong Ba since I moved to San Jose, and I can confidently say they've nailed it on authenticity! Their Bun Bo Hue tastes just like what I had in Vietnam, and their Banh Beo is a must-try. It's a little hole in the wall, but don't let that fool you; the flavors will blow your mind! The owners are incredibly friendly, and they truly care about their customers. Highly recommended for any Vietnamese food lover! " (*Curated Review*)

" Bun Bo Hue Dong Ba left me with mixed feelings. The food was decent, but I have certainly had better versions of Bun Bo Hue elsewhere. The broth seemed muted, lacking that vibrant kick, and while the meat was tender, it just didn’t stand out to me. It's always crowded there, and while the service was quick, it didn’t feel personal. Maybe it was an off day, but I’m not sold enough to return anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Bun Bo Hue Dong Ba after seeing positive reviews, but I left feeling somewhat disappointed. While the Bun Bo Hue had great chunks of meat, I found the broth to be lacking in depth and spice that I usually enjoy. It's far from the best BBH I've tried, with many places offering a richer flavor. The service was fine but nothing remarkable, just your standard Vietnamese eatery experience. Not sure if I’ll be back anytime soon unless I’m craving a specific dish. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been a loyal customer of Bun Bo Hue Dong Ba for over 10 years. Their great food and friendly service keep bringing me back time after time. The BBH is a must, filled with tender meat and rich broth that always warms my soul. The only downside is the tiny seating area, which gets pretty crowded during peak times. If you're searching for an authentic taste of Vietnam, this is the place to be! Just make sure to bring cash as they are still cash-only! " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant is an absolute gem when it comes to authentic Hue cuisine! Every time I visit, I am reminded of my childhood in Vietnam, enjoying fresh Banh Beo and the traditional Bun Bo Hue. The owners greet you with smiles and are very accommodating. The atmosphere may not be fancy, but who cares with food that tastes this good! The portions are generous, especially for the price. Even my kids love it, and that says a lot! I’ll keep coming here as long as they keep those family recipes alive! " (*Curated Review*)
