Pho Hoa Jazen Tea (de Anza)

Came here for a drink on a hot summer day. This was our first time back in years. The space inside was pretty big, just like I remembered. There was no other customers when we walked in. The staff greeted us well and took our order, however I wish they had given us recommendations or offered more help since they weren't busy. We ordered the buzzin' Berry, thai tea, and lychee Explosion. The buzzin' Berry was decent. It reminded me of Quickly. It tasted like it sounded in the description. There were pieces of strawberries in the drink, but I don't think that they were fresh strawberries. It seemed like the strawberries were cooked down and came from a syrup mixture. The Thai tea was watered down. It had the color of Thai tea but not the flavor. The lychee explosion was decent. It had a decent amount of lychee pieces in the drink. The boba in every drink (except the lychee explosion) was VERY soft. It was edible but too soft for our liking. Overall, the experience was only okay. The drinks were not the best quality and the service was only okay. I felt that the drinks should have been made better since they've been open for a long time and they weren't busy at all. I don't think I'll be back.

It was a cold day so a hot piping bowl of pho sounded good! At the entrance, they had a sign that said they were low on staff. I waited around for a while, and just when I was about to leave someone came over and seated me. It took some time to order and for my food to arrive. I did get my drink first but it took another visit of the waitstaff to ask for a straw. This is a bubble tea with plastic film on top that had to be punctured, so a straw should be given without request. The pho itself was underwhelming. The soup was quite thin, not the rich broth I was craving. The meat quality is just ok. I totally understand about being understaffed during this time, and wouldn't have held it against the restaurant. However, the meal itself was unsatisfying. There are so many other pho shops nearby, I will visit a different one next time I have cravings.

I went there every time I had a break from work, but this time I went back for the first time in a while and it was delicious. I felt like everyone was working there differently, but the taste was good. Parking was easy, I can't wait to see what I'm eating next time. Any suggestions?

The broth is so rich and flavorful! The meat is also very tender. However, they seem to only do takeout because of understaffing. Wish they specified this online. Minor inconvenience, but soup take out can get messy.

Taste is good. Service is nice. Not cheap for the part. My favorite is the spicy Pho. Rice dishes are also good.
