“ I had the wonton noodle soup and it was delicious! Nice plump wontons filled with pork and shrimp. The broth was tasty and nicely spiced. The soup also had some sliced pork, which was good. Comes with yellow wheat noodles. I would definitely go back and try more items! ”

“ Usually dont goto down town but did today. Overall I think they were pretty solid, the sampler plate was a bit expensive but nothing was bad on it. The orange chicken was actually quite good and I'd recommend it. Overall it's a decent spot with relatively good pricing. ”

“ Hello to all my food lovers! It's been a while since my last post, but once more I am here trying foods from different places and giving my humble opinion. This time I had the pleasure of enjoying a delicious wonton noodle soup at Asian Fusion Phonomenal. As soon as you get your bowl of soup, you are greeted by a mouthwatering scent of aromatic herbs. The combination of freshly chopped vegetables, savory shrimp wontons, and thin noodles simmering in a flavorful broth is one of the best I've ever tried in my visit to San Jose California. Thank you for your views and I'll be visiting more places to share EVEN MORE pictures, reviews, and recommendations of where to eat! ”

“ My wife and I had the chicken phō before the game today. It was our first time eating here and it was excellent. Just what we needed on a rainy day. We also had the avocado spring rolls which were just as excellent. Will be coming back. ”

“ Had a chicken pho and vermicelli with shrimp and pork that were very yummy and the broth in the pho was so warming on a cool evening. The pork in vermicelli was well seasoned and nicely grilled. Will explore more dishes on next visit. The menu ordering kiosk with text alert was very easy and convenient, just be prepared if pick up is find tray with your number and take without any person around to ask for condiments or if any missing items ”

“ Hidden gem inside San Pedro Square Market. Love the Pad Thai and Spam Musubi! Popcorn chicken was also pretty good. Pricing is pretty normal for San Pedro Square. Most of the staff don't seem to speak much English but they are helpful when they understand what you are asking for. ”

“ Ordered the Seafood Bird's Nest as part of a large group catering order and it was delicious with a ton of seafood at a pretty good price/value. Large amount of crispy noodles with a thick broth. Combo of fish meatballs, squid, fish, shrimp, mussels, and plenty of veggies too! The order for the large group was well labeled and delivered on time. ”
