Walk in have set. Put my bag on counter. Man rudely in loud voice. Order over there. That's not how you greet your customer. Sat down to eat my combination with meatballs. I lose my attention appetite. After I ate and left, five hours later got head ache. To much MSG not enough meat. They value on their kindness and cheat you. This is just my experience.

Best bahn mi I have ever had

Just as the new kids would call this place “mid” Had the super super combo which wasn’t much of a combo.
18.69 for a “meh” large bowl
-Noodles were over cooked. Chewy… -Broth is already dark probably from adding more flavor instant pho powder. - veggies was washed and had a pool of water on the second plate. -broth lacked the body of beef - toppings beef ball and beef and brisket slice. Very little
No tendon no tripe Food was edible but wouldn’t recommend it for the price and value of the meal.
Seating area smells of urine or dirty towel. Even after their “remodel” makes me feel like I’m in Asia with United States pricing for a bowl. I know we are having inflation and tariffs but 18 dollars for little to no effort for this bowl is a joke.
Pay as you go system deserves no tips. Should I elaborate?

This was my first visit, and since it was a rainy day, I decided to try their pho. There’s something comforting about a warm bowl of soup on a cold, wet day. The soup had a rich, deep flavor that was enjoyable, but not remarkable. For comparison, my favorite pho spot is still Pho Vi Hoa in Palo Alto, which I feel has more balanced and complex flavors.
Ordering here was straightforward. You place your order at the counter, and the staff delivers your food to the table. The service was efficient and friendly, which added to the overall experience.
For starters, I ordered A2: Fresh Shrimp Spring Rolls. They were fresh, light, and paired well with the accompanying peanut dipping sauce. As for the main dish, I went with the Rare Steak Pho, adding extra noodles for $2. While the broth and rare steak were satisfying, I realized the portion of noodles was already quite generous without the extra. If you’re someone with a hearty appetite, you’ll likely find the regular portion sufficient.
Next time, I’ll skip the extra noodles and focus on the base dish. It’s a solid spot for a comforting bowl of pho, but I’d still rank it below my go-to pho spot in Palo Alto.

I ordered pho number 1. The noodles were too soft and had a flavor that took away from the broth. I didn’t enjoy the flavor of the meatballs. Interestingly, they were cut into large pieces instead of being whole meatballs. The broth was fine. Overall, the meal was disappointing. Service was quick.

This is the best place to go. I mean it. The pho is great. Bahn mi is amazing. The back patio is very cute. Free hot tea with meals. Masterpiece

Unfortunately I succumbed to giardiasis here. It’s extremely hard to run a restaurant in Bay Area. Time to just cook at home now.

Self-serve water and hot tea. Order food at the counter. Indoor seating is uninspiring with plastic chairs and heating lamps because it's an after built extension that isn't insulated.
Had the pork vermicelli with egg roll. It was the saddest little pieces of dried pork chunks I've ever seen on a bun thit nuong.
I have been coming to this place for about 7 years now. I have been at least 30 times. I absolutely love their pho broth, and their patio area is a very nice spot for eating a solo bowl of pho or a chill meal with loved ones. This place is a part of my community. Definitely come!
My go to order: Chicken or Pork Banh Mi & a large cup of Broth w/ Onions & Cilantro.
