Thien Long Restaurant is one of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants in San Jose. Anytime out of towners visit and want Vietnamese food, we always take them here. They have a huge menu full of delicious Vietnamese dishes, but the one dish I love eating and always order when I go there is the specialty, Cha... Continue Reading →
