This no-frills East San Jose spot is the definitive destination for bun bo Hue, the spicy Central Vietnamese beef and pork noodle soup that's more complex and punchier than pho. The broth is deeply aromatic with lemongrass and shrimp paste, and portions are generous. Cash only and the parking lot fills up fast on weekends.
