A really good pho restaurant with even better sizzling plates tons of usage of oregano and garlic! I tried their New York steak sizzling plate and it was really good and flavorful, and cooked perfectly to medium, it also came with some onions and bell peppers too! They also have a lot of different sides available for their sizzling plates including rice, noodles and even french fries surprisingly. I picked the garlic noodles which obviously had a lot of garlic in them and was really flavorful and complimented the steak very well. I was told that there was supposed to be some red rice available, however it doesn't seem like that was available at the time. All the utensils and condiments are at the table, but it looks like they were running out of forks by the time we were seated. The restaurant is very nicely decorated and the fact that it's only 10 years old shows how much it has stood up. I even liked the dog friendly patio they have outside which they said they built during covid and the plaza let them keep it. Service was a little bit slower than usual but they managed to take the order pretty quickly and payment was pretty easy as well at the table and they were still friendly. I also tried their Jasmine milk tea which wasn't too impressive unfortunately, but it was lower cost compared to other places. And while I didn't have my french fries with my steak, I did order a Cajun style french fries that had garlic in it too! The french fries look pretty similar to McDonald's french fries, so they're pretty easy to eat and share. It might seem a little pricey at first, but the quantity that you get definitely can fill you or even needing to take out!

Tried this place after recommendation from a coworker. The cooked beef pho and it was delicious. It had a slightly smokey flavor which is new to me but my wife an I agreed it was fantastic. The kaffir lime leaf beef salad was also excellent. Such a unique flavor, similar to Thai papaya salad but better! Service was also incredibly quick and friendly. The waiter noticed my wife and I were sharing the bowl of pho and quickly offered us a second smaller bowl. 19 times out of 20 we have to ask for a second bowl when dining out, but this simple gesture at this restaurant meant so much. We will definitely be back!

It was my first time here, so I went with a safe choice — the pho named after the restaurant (Pho Tick Tock), along with the sizzling plate shaken beef filet mignon that’s featured on the menu. Everything arrived looking exactly like the photos, which was already a great sign. The pho was soothing, aromatic, and deeply satisfying. The sizzling shaken beef was the real highlight — cooked perfectly with a slight crisp on the outside while staying juicy and tender inside. The flavors were well-soaked into the meat, and it paired beautifully with the garlic noodles, which were rich and comforting without being heavy. The waiter was friendly and attentive. Overall, great food, great service, I’ll definitely be coming back again.

I liked the pho here. I had the flap meat pho. The beef was tender and lean. The broth was seasoned perfectly, sweetness from the bones with a little fat on top. The falvor was nice and authentic. They only served basil leaves and beansprout. I enjoyed the pho and the service. I recommend this restaurant.

The meal was quite delightful, I had the chicken pho accompanied by egg noodles. My sibling opted for a combination #2, which included a bit of everything. The tea, on the other hand, was pretty good. Will come back soon.

After seeing a few videos of the hot stone bowls, had to give this place a try. Visited mid week at lunchtime so no wait and was seated right away. Place is on the smaller size but there is outside seating for when it gets busy. Decor is updated and modern. Ordered the Pho Tick Tock House Special with fresh noodles and chicken wings. Food arrived quickly and piping hot. The meat and veggie was fresh. The main star of the meal is the hot stone bowl of soup. You can dump all the ingredients into the bowl just like one that you would get at any pho place. But why do that if you come here. I would recommend eating it like a hotpot by dipping each spoonful of noodle, meat and veggie together. Broth is on lighter side but still tasty. Chicken wings were on the dry side so I would try something else next time for appetizers. If you like your broth tongue scorching hot this this is place to go. Overall a very enjoyable experience and change of pace from the standard bowl of pho.

Pho tick tock is this new kinda fusion kinda authentic Place in berryessa that has a variety of options for people. They have these order tablets which the servers order from for you and has some very aesthetic shop vibes Its also has alcoholic boba? But never tried it Had their garlic noodles which came in a huge plate and overall had great flavor. Apparently their pho was pretty good too. They have plenty of parking but just not in front of the store but around the plaza

the pho charcuterie board party set for 4 is a must try!! it comes with 9 different types of premium beef cuts such as rare flap, grilled flap, flank, brisket, a whole oxtail, and more! the pho broth comes in a piping hot stone pot to keep the broth nice and warmth! we loved the presentation and amazing service

Place is nice and clean and the lady who served us was super friendly and attentive. Shrimp summer rolls were excellent as well as the peanut sauce. We got chicken pho as well as shrimp pho. Both had very flavorful broth and fresh ingredients. I opted for the shrimp garlic noodles and they hit the spot! Nice variety of drink options as well. Great experience, so far my favorite pho spot in San Jose.

Ok, looking for a pho place? There's a lot so you can put Pho Tic Tok on your list of many. If your up on Mckee road area stop by. Food is good, (be sure your order is right, and you'll be ok. We like the garlic noodle combos here. And we took home leftovers. 🙂

Very clean and modern pho spot in East Side San Jose. They’re dog friendly too! We brought our dog to sit in the patio. We got the pho tick Tock, bo Luc lạc, garlic noodles. Our entire family enjoyed their meal. I’ve had better pho but this spot was solid with many options. I’d be back.

This place deserves a Michelin star rating. Freshest ingredients I have ever had in a bowl of phở. Yes, you will pay about twice what you would anywhere else, but this is a winner. Best phở you will have here in the Bay Area that is not home made.

This was my first time at the restaurant, and the environment was very peaceful. I really loved the decoration—it creates such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The pho at TikTok was absolutely delicious. The preparation was excellent, with high-quality meat and generous portions. I’ve already tried three dishes, and each one has been wonderful. The owner, who I believe is the sweetest and most caring person, made the experience even more special. I will definitely be coming back to try more dishes!

Little nice south eastern asia decor. Price decent each bowl of pho roughly 18$ and lower. Service was ok. Our waiter was a bit rude and have a attitude but the nice auntie saved the day with her smile and refills of water. Good experience. Had the pho combo. Great broth with the aromatic taste at the end. Will come again if near the area.

The atmosphere was interesting, it really went hard into the watch's theme. The Pho on the other hand was not very flavorful. However the filet mignon with garlic noodles was absolutely delicious. Would recommend that dish over the Pho

Nice experience. They had good presentation of food served on a dish. Although this wasn’t new concepts in Vietnam, this place was the only one I have ever seen serving Pho in a hot stone bowl in the Bay Area yet. Good food, especially their Shrimp Spring Rolls and Pomelo Coconut Dessert. Pho Tick Tock, however, was too salty to my liking. Besides that, nice interior decoration. Service was quick.

Affordable good eats!!! The name may dissuade you but it’s no passing trend. Check them out for a quick lunch that is priced well. You don’t need to get the meal that serves four. It’s a bit much. Go for the single serving.

The soup was delicious. It just seemed like there was a little less meat than shown in the picture, or perhaps the ingredients were a bit different

The meat was flavorful and so tender!! The broth was not too sweet or salty and I didn’t feel super thirsty after, so probably not that much MSG. They have a lot of noodle options (thin, wide, and egg) but we were all intimidated so everyone got the thin noodles. The noodles came a little clumped together, although it didn’t seem to be too bad once we mixed it. It’s fun to sort of cook your meat and the portion is large enough for two meals, but I wish they gave more basil and bean sprouts. Service was fairly fast and the restaurant was quite spacious. It is deceivingly difficult to find parking in this lot but we got the job done.

This used to be a good spot for quality Vietnamese food and phở in general. The restaurant is no longer carry that vibes any more, that’s a bit disappointed. We had shaken beef and grilled pork with vermicelli.
