Eleven Fifty - San Jose

A friend asked to meet here for lunch. So there we went. It was on Sunday afternoon. The place is set up more like lounge/cocktail place with high stools bar seating, big LCD TVs and couches area that looks comfortable. So to see it opened up its door for lunch was kinda interesting.

The menu was decent. Some rice plate with grilled chicken, pork chop, beef, etc. Some pho (Vietnamese noodle soup) option with beef options. I think they offer a few appetizers which we didn't try.

I tried the beef pho with everything (rare steak, tripe, tendon, flank and meat ball). Hubby tried the rice plate with grilled chicken. Our friend tried bun bo hue (spicy beef soup), his family ordered rice place with beef, pork chop and noodle soup.



My beef noodle soup came with only one size and priced at $10. The going rate for the same fare is around $8.50 - $10. For that price the size was pretty decent. It was quite a lot of noodle and meat to satisfy most people, I would think. The broth was a bit sweet which and did not have much hint of star anise. It was a decent broth with not much special character.

Hubby's grilled chicken with rice came with some thinly sliced pickled daikon and some iceberg lettuce. The chicken was tender and well marinated. I think I would enjoy his order better than him. He complaint of the order being dry.
