A beloved Vietnamese institution in East San Jose's Little Saigon corridor, Pho Kim Long serves massive, deeply flavored bowls of pho that locals have sworn by for decades. Order the beef combination pho and add extra tendon — the broth is rich and slow-cooked. It gets very busy on weekends with long waits, so arrive early.
