Best Hu Tieu in San Jose hands down. Been here about 70 times since they opened. 100% constancy and amazing owners.

This restaurant was recommended by my dear friend who grew up in San Jose. I'm so happy he did and so was the rest of my family who enjoyed their food as well! Great service, too!

They have a multitude of noodles, including clear noodles and broad rice noodles that you can substitute for any other noodles. The protein and broth stays the same. They have lots of other things besides Pho.

Nice family owned restaurant! The food is authentic and the vietnamese coffee was the best I've had. I would recommend anyone to come visit and eat what vietnamese food is supposed to taste like.

Our #1 favorite spot in San Jose. They have the best broth in town that leave you absolutely satisfied !

Great neighborhood Vietnamese noodle house. Classically delicious, generous portions, friendly service. Great location near downtown.

A place to visit when you are in mood for some Pho. And there beef soup is delicious. To be honest everything here is definitely good to try.

I love the variety of noodles that you can get here. Lots of options to customize, even if you don't want any noodles. My coworker asked for no noodles and they substituted with broccoli. Their wait staff is friendly. I love the Chinese donuts, though sometimes they run out if you come too late in the day. Their parking lot is a little tight and sometimes you won't find a space, but I usually just park on the other side of the street where there's metered parking if that's the case.

San Jose’s best noodle soup! Rich selection of chicken, pork, and beef noodle soups. My husband I eat here often and the food is always fresh, generous, and consistently delivers a super delicious flavor profile. Plus, the service is gracious. Highly recommend for foodies and non foodies alike.

The owner here is very nice. I have been here before. I came here with my uncle. And we both like their food and services. This place has been consistently provided good services and good foods. Just recently some youtubers in Vietnam telling their fans to give false one star reviews when they never actually came to the place. This place has been serving the community for years. Thank you Kali Noodles. 😘

I love this place, can't go a week without coming here at least once! I've brought my friends and family from out of town, and the food is always consistently amazing. The staff is super friendly and I've loved everything I've tried there. Highly recommend Hu Tieu, or the beef stew--regardless of what you order, everything is really fresh and good quality. The place also has its own parking, which is a huge perk near the University or during downtown events.

Staff is very considerate. Bringing utensils and a cup of water with a straw and lid for our toddler. Asking if we would like to wait until the rest of our group gets here before ordering. And even offering an extra bowl, with scissors, after I ordered for my child. The noodle soups are delicious, very clean broth. The noodle selection is a plus as most places only have one option.

I swear this is by far the best noodle house I've tried (in my opinion) I'm not really a soup person but their soup is so good. Try their vegetarian. They would offer you hot tea while you're waiting for your to go. Greet you with the friendly staffs as you get in. don't forget to grab free gauva candy after you eat. And wait there's more! Students and senior citizens get 10% discount. Awesome!

Got the vegetarian noodle bowl with soup on the side. Soup/broth was sooo good - sweet from what seemed like carrots and savory with mushrooms. I went basic with the noodle choice, but you can pick and choose up to 2 types of noodles for your bowl. The service here was good as well - they come check on you every so often and refill water/tea, when appropriate. Would definitely come back and try other noodle options as well!

There are Restaurants that you want to try, then won’t never comeback. This One is not one of them! Food is good authentic Vietnamese taste, portion is big enough to feed an adult and share with a little kid. Service is fast, waiters and waitresses are friendly. I absolutely recommend to friends and will come back again.

The service was immediate and we were seated as we walked up to the restaurant. The food was almost as fast once we ordered. The chicken pho was amazing and filling. I liked that I could choose my noodles, and I could choose up to 2 kinds! I'll be back (Arnold voice)

Great local place. Had take-away noodle soups. Huge portions as expected for Vietnamese. Tastes good, everything was packed great, so no spills. Also, the staff is very nice and courteous.

Pretty good quality but a bit pricy. Best offerings in my opinion is the variety of noodles

I've eaten here twice this week, including my lunch for today, and I'm contemplating on coming here for dinner... H5 is my go to, and the boba is good too.. I see some people ordering tater tots, including one guy who got that to go and nothing else...can't help but be a little curious. As of right now, they offer a 10% student discount with id and they don't mind paying separately and with cards. Comes out super quick and piping hot. FREE extra noodles when you initially order it. This place is honestly perfect, wish I still lived in San Jose...

Love this restaurant and the family who runs the place!! Every time we go it is a joyful experience. The owners provide fresh and delicious meals with excellent service which makes the food even more enjoyable! I highly recommend the vegetarian pho and the filet minion pho. Portions are a very good size and I often leave with leftovers. Kali Noodle is a must try!

We ordered fries, beef stew and veggie noodle soup. All good!

Very good beef soup with different kinds of noodles choices.

👍👍💯💯 Really great food, Very Clean,Fresh Hot 🍜,Deliciousness 💯💯 Great price's

Lots of broths and noodles choices. Tasty.

The quantity is huge. Service is great. If you are a soup lover, this is the spot.

One of my favorite pho restaurants, good portion, fresh noodle, the soup on the side comes with a big bone. H3 is the best.

Best pho in the bay area. Super tasty broth and tender filet mignon! It's great how you can mix different noodle types. Family owned, warm and friendly staff !

Great food. Very generous portions. Clean and organized. Parking available though a bit tight during busy hours Will return in the future with friends and family.

I found myself craving soup on a cold windy fall day. Immediately when I walked in I was greeted and sat. I was facing a cold case with tempting deserts ranging from thai iced tea flan to mango mousse. One of the servers noticed me drooling and brought me over a few samples to try before my soup arrives. I ordered the H2, soup inside. It was so delicious! Huge portion and plenty of flavor. I got the Vietnamese coffee mousse to-go which did not disappoint! Another star for also having its own parking lot which is also a plus with it being downtown.

Really solid pho place with a ton of noodle options and really good portion sizes too! We sat outdoors and it wasn’t too crowded. I got the flat white and yellow noodles and I liked the soup on the side - definitely larger portions than I could handle so I felt it was great value for the cheap price too! The soup was more flavorful than I thought too. I enjoyed the little things in the soup like the pork rinds and the meat and the quail eggs were a nice touch but not the best ones I’ve had. Overall, service was quick, food was good would come again!

I went with a friend during lunch time and I ordered the chicken pho. What I like about this place is that you can choose your noodles. You don't have to eat just traditional thin pho noodles, you can choose from a selection of different types of noodles and even combine different noodles. It's great! I think the chicken pho is really nice and clean tasting. My friend ordered the beef pho and she said it was delicious as well. The service was great. The portions were good and the food was homey and delicious. Will definitely come here again!

Food was so so good, staff were friendly, attentive, helpful, I thank them for masking and social distancing. Service was fast❤ Patio seating only. Again, thank you so much. We're from out of town and it made us happy for comfort food. ❤

This place is STILL amazing, and now that Fall is around the corner, I suspect we'll be making more visits. I am OBSESSED with the Beef Stew yellow noodle soup (B2) and have had it thr last 3 times I've been here. The portions are HUGE and fairly priced. Staff is extremely friendly and courteous. I LOVE this place and look forward to trying other things once my Beef Stew obsession ceases.

This place was awesome! I was skeptical, but it turned out to be awesome. We've made it our official soup spot! I got the seafood soup with glass and rice noodles. My partner got the veggie tofu soup. Both were really tasty and fresh. So many places use seafood that isn't fresh and even more places use tasteless vegetarian broth. This place was good for both! Service was super sweet and friendly and the place was very clean. Earned all 5 stars!

This was the best pho that I have ever had, I will definitely be coming back to this place again. I also choose to go there because they have free parking, other places around there had to pay to park on street.

Delicious pho! The pho tai (called "pho filet mignon") comes in an incredibly generous portion that makes the $19 price worth it. The spices are authentic but a bit sweeter than typical. Since hoisin and sriracha sauces are already sweetened, I wish the broth wasn't. Super fast and kind sercice with refreshing ice water refilled often. Tons of indoor seating and covered outdoor patio seating.

Good hu tieu with fresh ingredients. Try the meatball with the Chinese donut

Friendly service a lot of condiments in every table even tough it was a late hour order the food was good

Kali noodles and tea bar has the best pho noodles in San Jose. Their yellow noodles with any meat are incredible. Authentic flavors and generous portions. Their boba and Vietnamese iced coffee are just as amazing. The family owners are kind and welcoming - and after 5 years of coming here, it’s still my go-to comfort food. Highly recommend!

The food, the soup.... wow this place is so good. Unique and flavorful soup. Everytime im in the area its a must stop for me.

They are always prompt and with great selection. You can mix and match noodles. I always judge Noodle places on how many spices available on the table and the freshness oh the ingredients. Despite the language barrier (wish I had the ex with me haha) they are always super sweet!

A little hidden spot downtown, small parking lot but there’s always parking. I come here for the hu tieu go which is 12.99 and the only place that I know of that has this version. Sorry I didn’t take pictures but I will for sure next time around. The food comes out quick and the flavors are just right. Don’t forget to try the pandan mung bean, what a great combination that will for sure hit the spot.

Healthy, Tastey, Friendly My wife and I go almost every week (sometimes multiple times). We've been eating here for around 2 years now and it's our favorite place. Very deliciously fresh ingredients and the most consistently gluten-free and dairy-free with near-zero cross contamination. She has some sensitivities so eating out has become tougher and tougher with auto-immune risks. Personally, I always feel the staff / owners are incredibly kind and caring. It really feels like family and it's gotten to the point that I am learning Vietnamese from them. It's been a fantastic experience that shines even brighter when many other great restaraunts suffer from horrible attitudes and treatment.

We came pretty early and the place was quiet; lots of parking in the lot. It was most delicious pork noodle soup I’ve ever had! The soup was clear and non greasy which is uncommon with pork broths. I ordered the H5 soup and the bowls were massive! I was about to explode by the end of it. Staff were incredibly friendly as well and very attentive! Highly recommend!

I got the $12.99 noodles a la carte is it was delicious! I added the bean sprouts on the side for a buck. Definitely recommend! It’s a hearty meal.

they have so many option of soup and noodle, and some soup are unique. If you want to customize your only style of pho, here is the place

Friends recommended this for hu tieu. There are many combinations of items you can order for your bowl. Friends ordered soup and cuon. All pretty tasty, drinks are nice as well. Parking is available in their lot. Service is nice.

We love this place! Great food and great service! Our server was very sweet and attentive, our food came out super quick, which is always awesome when you're out with kids! My 6 year old and I shared an order of filet minon pho and it did not disappoint. The filet minon pho serving was huge with a good amount of protein, we ended up giving some to my hubby because we could not finish it, the broth is simple and clean, not over the top. I forgot what my husband ordered because I was busy enjoying mine! We ordered a strawberry lemonade which was too sweet for me but my daughter loved it, I love their iced coffe!

Probably the largest servings of pho and hu tieu I've ever had, but the price reflects that. Definitely one bowl for two people! ..unless you're really hungry. Flavor wise pretty good, up there with Pho San Jose and Pho Dao. Location is right by a famous burned/rebuilt church and has it's own parking!

A casual and quick serve place for hungry souls. Their main dishes are noodles (different from phở - phở is also served as listed in the menu). Guests have options to select different type of noodles wheat based, or rice based, then choose whether to have broth in a separate bowl or combine with noodles similar to phở. For this type of noodles, the meat is mainly pork, shrimp.

Came here 3 times. First time was from a friend’s recommendation, then fell in love with the noodles. I left Vietnam for 3 years and was longing for some authentic Hu Tieu. Have tried many places but their dishes were not genuine at all. Then, by my husband’s friend’s recommendation, we came here. My husband and I were pleasantly impressed with the quality of the noodles and the broth. The staff is nice. We came 3 times and the staff have been friendly and helpful. Some of them even tried to be humorous. This place has been added to our frequent list. Will come again!

If you’re like me and you enjoy your soup on the side of your noodles, you’ll like this establishment. I was rather dishearten when a similar restaurant, Saigon Vien Dong, closed down; how was I to fill the dry noodle size whole in my stomach? Luckily I came across this place today and couldn’t be more excited. The menu is relatively straightforward, while the menu looks expansive, it’s merely an expansion of the noodle option with the same soup base. They have a few other options but I recommend the Hu Tieu Nam Vang. They offer 6 different types of noodles comprising of rice, egg, and starch/tapioca variety. I tried the wide egg noodle and wide rice noodle, the latter is my preference, though I implore you to try them all. The bowl comes with 1 shrimp, a heaping portion of thinly slice pork, liver if you so choose (it’s common with this dish) and 3 quail eggs (yums) amongst a bed of greens. There’s a side plate of bean sprouts as well. Of course, this type of dish isn’t complete without a side of hearty broth so that you can enjoy your noodles both dry and as noodle soup. We also opted for the Asian doughnut to dip in the broth. There’s a 10% senior citizen, emergency responders, or student discount to top it off. Did I also mention that they also have vegetation options.

Went here on New Year’s Eve for a warm bowl and tried both the H4 – Nam Vang and the Filet Mignon pho, both with clear noodles. The Nam Vang came with sliced pork, ground pork, and one prawn in a clean, savory broth—light but flavorful. The filet mignon pho was a solid upgrade: tender beef, silky noodles, and a broth that leaned richer but still easy to sip. I was craving a vermicelli bowl and bánh mì too, but heads up—they only serve pho. No rice plates or sandwiches. Still, if you’re in the mood for Vietnamese comfort food, this spot delivers fast and clean.

Owner and staff are very friendly and inviting. The pork and beef pho are both well worth the price, which isn't unreasonable at all. The inclusion of quail eggs is a nice touch, and the variety of noodles options adds to the fun.

Big portions, delicious food when I am craving noodles! Reasonably priced

How have I only just now heard how good this is/confirmed!? Had the beef stew with French bread and so now I definitely know where to get the best comfort food in my neighborhood! Wow! I tasted my wife's pho broth and dang! Will be back for sure.

Tried this place in the evening the other night and had the filet mignon pho bowl. It came with the standard bean sprouts, lime wedges, and sliced jalapenos on the side. The bowl of soup was quite large and something cool is you can select between many different types of noodles to add to your shop beyond the conventional rice noodles (or mix and match). They have a parking lot as well so you won't have to pay for street parking.

I'm a fan. The noodles are pretty good here. It's Hu Tieu Nam Van style but you really do get to personalize and pick your own type of noodles (egg noodles, udon type, rice noodles). I go old school with the original rice noodles and ask for it kho (dry) with the soup on the side. My neighbor asked me recently why a person would eat it this way, I've always felt you get more "FLAVORS" eating it dry since the broth might dilute it. The service was prompt and courteous. The food was good. They take card! I do think they should look at adding more tea options since they call themselves a tea bar and I feel their drink selection is slim pickings. Glad to have a tasty noodle place open up near home.

Good food available at good price. Service is good and food is consistent. My favorite is fish noodle soup and Vietnamese iced coffee. Do try their spring rolls.

Friendly staff. Great service. I had Bo Bia, Hu Tieu Nam Vang, & Banh Mi Bo Kho and all are good. The restaurant is clean. If you are into Vietnamese food & want to try something other than Pho, this is a good option.

Very limited, but tasty menu. Personally I would appreciate more variety, but the filet mignon pho was good. Generous portions. The incredibly friendly staff bumped this place up another star.

Their best is "Mì Nam Vang". The portion and presentation is above average. Their side dish, sa siu, however, is not as good as some other places. The owner and employees are very nice. The parking is good. I do recommended.

Take out. Extremely fast service. Great meal on a cold night like tonight.

First time here, but very pleased. Ordered the chicken pho, pho ga, and they brought me a bowl I could swim in. Be advised there's a lot of pork on the menu, even in some of the chicken dishes.

Very nice place and close to the campus of San Jose State University. The beef noodles (B2) are really good, though a bit spicy. Also tried the fish filet noodles and the summer rolls; they are so-so. Finally, wish the service would have been somewhat better and attentive, like giving tea or water refills.

Decent portions, good selection of noodles and fair prices. Place is legit.

Solid Viet food. They specialize in hu tieu nam vang but they got other Viet noodle dishes as well. The coolest thing bout this spot is that you can customize which noodles you want with your dish. So dishes which may specifically use egg noodles, you can change it up to use clear noodles or something else. In their hu tieu, you can even choose up to two noodles. The regular and thin yellow are more traditional for that dish. Not the flat yellow and clear would be my favorites for it. The flat rice and thick rice noodles, while good don't really fit as well. The portions are pretty solid for $17. Overall, would come back if I'm the area but wouldn't make a detour

+ Great variety of pho noodle soups. There are quite a lot of menu items (e.g pork intestines) that I have not seen in any other Vietnamese pho restaurants in Bay Area. + Personally really enjoyed the wide rice noodles. + Good portion size - The soup has a slightly sweeter taste than usual.

Came here for a weekend lunch with my family. There was a good amount of people from all backgrounds in the store. I know this is a popular lunch spot for nearby city workers. The menu is easy to read. I appreciated all the photos. I got my go-to order for hu tieu, which is hu tieu dai nam vang kho (clear noodles with soup on the side). I liked that the server asked you for which meats you'd like and don't like as it cuts down on food waste. I opted out of liver. There was a lot of everything in the dish. There was always a bite of meat or seafood to go along with the noodles. The flavors were great and the texture of the noodles was on point. The toppings were balanced with the noodles, so I think you get the bang for your buck. I'm not sure how the other foods fare but I don't think you can miss with any hu tieu option here. The service was excellent. I think I saw the owners eating lunch themselves by the cashier when I went looking for a to-go box. They were very helpful. My only gripe was the pricing. The drinks were all like $7. Orange juice cost the same as ca phe sua da, which doesn't make sense to me. We got an avocado smoothie that tasted like avocado powder and milk, not real avocado. Overall I think this place is here to stay in downtown SJ.

Fast service. Food is good. Parking on site

The pork meatball was tasty. Like I had read in other reviews, there was some sweetness in the pho. It was not overly sweet though. My family had a pleasant experience, but it was not the best pho we ever had. The shredded chicken was tough/overcooked. If I am back in the neighborhood I would be curious to try their other noodle offerings.

A nice spot for some good quality Vietnamese food. I had the summer roll, though was questioned when I ordered it. Menu is a little haphazard with tons of similar sounding options! Probably nothing for someone who knows their way around the cuisine. They were out of the flat noodles. I ended up with a pork shrimp and garlic dish, I would say the broth was a little sweet for me, but overall it was very good.

We love to get noodle soup at this spot. Satisfying and comforting food! You can ask for either broth style or soup on the side. Either way they are both really good and the bowl size is huge. The service is usually quick. But this time they were a bit busy so the wait wasn’t too bad. Food came out pretty quick. Felt this time they skimped out a lot on the protein portion. Parking area is a bit crammed here because of the location. Vietnamese noodle soup is worth coming for. Will give it another chance!

Stopped by this restaurant while looking for a restaurant which we haven't visited. It has parking next to the restaurant. The restaurant is pretty big with outdoor sitting. It is the type of vietnsmese chinese cuisine. It was not that busy when we arrived. The unique stuff on the menu is that you can choose a couple of types of noodles and choose 2 if you want. While looking for the menu, I think at least 3 times they asked us what to order. It is a bit annoying since we told them to give us a minute. We just try to figure out what to order. We order white and yellow noddle soup. It comes with slices pork, shrimp, and quail egg. The soup comes with pork bone. The soup is clear and yummy. The noddle is ok. Wecalso order beef stew white and yellow noodle. The gravy l is yummy, but the beef is a bit tough. Pricewise, it is a bit high compared to the portion. Overall, they are good. I like the beef one compared to the noodle soup.

A really good place to enjoy Vietnamese food, with a varied menu and a little different from the typical Vietnamese place. The staff is very kind and the place has enough space to enjoy your food inside or outside. The place is clean, doesn't have that "food smell" and you can see how as soon as one party is leaving the staff immediately cleans and disinfects the table, utensils, and chairs. For lunch, today I had: - Vietnamese cruller - Beef stew white & yellow noodle soup (served with need chunks, beef tendon, carrots, beef broth, bean sprouts, green onion, cilantro, and basils) - Vegetarian Pho (white rice noodle soup served with fried tofu, daikon, carrot, onion, broccoli, enoki mushroom, bean sprouts, basil, vegetable broth).

This place is great! It is a low key place with about 12+ tables. Our table of 4 all ordered the hieu tieu with different noodle combo It is excellent 9/10 star We all had the dry type with side of soup. What’s special here is you get up chose up to TWO different noodles and they have 6 GREAT choices.: original rice (banh pho), thin egg wheat noodle, thick flat wheat noodle, clear (taro starch?) noodle, large fresh flat rice, fresh banh canh (large tubular rice noodle) I specifically had the fat flat wheat noodle and the clear noodle. Nice fresh noodles It is dressed in a nice brown sauce topped with pork meat and 2 quail egg and a large shrimp with some veggies. The flavor was excellent. The broth was also packed with flavor but very light and the pork bone also very clean taste. Highly recommend! I also like my other favorite hieu tieu restaurant. They are different but both excellent. This is lighter with great noodles choice.

Good food, great service but the price is too high. 17$ for a noodles. Tax and tips are excluded. Total I spent about 20$ for a person. That way too expensive.

The pho options are limited. We tried the beef filet mignon pho and it was good but the seafood pho protein was very limited. It was supposed to have crab legs and the server told us they didn't have any so they'd throw in extra shrimp. So my dad got a total of 2 shrimp and 3 calamari and we paid about 23 dollars. Totally not worth it.

Big portion, fresh ingredients, but the broth is on the sweet side. Go for the dry.

Cozy, neighborhood restaurant serving SJSU area. 10/01/2025: BOGO for the mini noodle soup (mi go), which made it super affordable, at $7.99 per bowl

Beef stew (H4) is delicious, though the soup seem to be a bit thickening for me; beef chunks are super tender, making a very good combination with crispy outside / soft inside tasty French bread. Average price point. Home style family vibe dinning atmosphere. Free parking right outside.

It's pho ... but, not really? The broth was sweet, but more like hieu tieu sweet. I considered that it might have been MSG, but I really didn't get much of the side effects that I would normally get from MSG. It's good overall, but not what I'd present as an example of pho.

Broth & Hu tieu was lukewarm at best. Got the combination yellow & clear noodle. Clear noodle was still brittle and the sauce was to sweet for my taste. Only gave it 2 stars because it was relatively clean. Will not be a returning customer.

I ordered take out pho here and really wanted to like this place because its close to home. It was just way to over priced for what I got. Hardly any meat or noodles and I paid almost $19.00 for a bowl. Thats outrageous to me. I gave them 2 stars because the server was great. He asked to help me carry my bags to the car.

The vegetarian pho had insects floating in it. We told the server. The kitchen told us it was just pepper, which was a bit insulting. You could see the wings on the insects! Plus my husband’s non vegetarian pho didn’t have this pepper. They said they would remake it. The pho still had insects the second time. Maybe the veggie broth was contaminated? I should have taken a photo but my instinct was to get my infant out of there so I wasn’t thinking. At least the server was kind enough to refund the dish. Needless to say, we haven’t gone back.

This place gave me an awful experience of their customer service, and yesterday will be the last time we came there. We ordered 3 bowls of “Hu Tieu Go” which were served without vegetable. So, we ordered a vegetable plate, and agreed with the server that we would pay for it. Then, I heard the woman in the front yelling at the server for giving us “free” vegetable. Not only that, they called him into the kitchen and continued bitching about the tiny vegetable plate containing some bean sprouts and a small Chinese celery stalk which costs only $2 or $3. This rude behavior shows that they don’t care about politeness or keeping their customers. I felt bad for the boy who served us food and intended to raise my voice about that if they had not stopped. The woman sitting in the front looked very upset the whole time we were there as if we had cheated them for ordering the vegetable. By the way, we also ordered other foods and drinks and paid about $100 in total.

Foods are ok. But the worst server ever. My in law made a mistake and told her a party of 4. But there were 5 of us. She was mad and chewed us out for taking the extra seats and occupied the adjacent table. We should have walked out, but we didn't. And the restaurant was emptied. No customer yet. Not going there ever again.

My friend told me the food wasn't good. The ower so stingy, and not a lot customers. The ower walked out restaurant told a person moved his car. You not eating can't park a car here.

It only took them 2~3 minutes to bring the meals on our table, which was unusually fast and made me doubt about the process of cooking. But everything was fine at first, until I saw a fly flying to my bowl. And then more flies are coming that the owner had to use a electronic mosquito swatter. From that moment I already lose my appetite and the pork was also not that fresh. After we went home, my friend had a stomach ache till next morning. Overall, the taste was so-so, not to say it’s bad because you can still eat it, and the flies are not acceptable to me. Never ever going there again. Btw, two meals cost us 47$. Very not worth it. 🙂

I entered and asked if they have any vegan options. They said they have Pho Chai with tofu and vegetarian broth. I ordered it, but when they brought it and I started mixing noodles with bean sprouts, there was a small piece of meat there under the noodles. I showed it to them and they apologized and took the dish back. But unfortunately I had to leave the place. Most likely the broth was not vegetarian, but a meat broth.
