“Vietnam Bistro is a nice place to eat. The food is fresh and tasty, with big portions. The pho is really good, and coffee was great.They also have some vegetarian options.

The staff is friendly, and the service is fast. It’s a simple, casual place, good for dining in or takeout. Worth checking out if you like Vietnamese food!“

“Great food at a great price!!!“

“Best pho in Chico. Had three other spots in town and this is by far the best. Comparable to the bigger cities like Sacramento and the Bay Area. The only negative part of their pho is the size/quantity of noodles. If you're used to other pho restaurants sizes, this place is definitely on the smaller end.“

“We ordered Vietnamese coffee, which was the perfect balance all around. Everything was to die for from the fresh spring rolls, and crispy potstickers! Being a college student in college town, the price is worth it and not expensive at all! I love coming here with my friends and the owners are so sweet! Feels like home cooking!

Kid-friendliness: Very clean and quiet atmosphere :) very relaxed“

“Not sure why my sister and I wanted pho on a 93⁰ day, but we did. We saw this place while walking by a different day and had been interested in it since then. On this day we were both craving a bánh mí so we decided to check it out! On the way there, we also started thinking about pho and were talking ourselves into the idea of eating that too (or in addition to) disregarding the weather.

Our divided food wishes were answered when we found out that the menu offered a combo meal of a small pho and bánh mí, which we both ended up getting! She got tofu in both of hers, while I got steak in my pho and pork in my bánh mí. I also got a lemonade. It was delicious and hit all the spots, literally. Not only did we get what we set out to get in terms of our food cravings, but it also filled us up completely!

Being a combo meal, I half expected each part to be slightly lackluster in comparison to ordering them as their own dish, but boy was I wrong! The small pho is still a lot of food and arguably a size I would want normally to eat and the bánh mí seemed like a normal portion/size too. It ended up being almost too much food, haha.

The pho was very flavorful. As with most pho dishes there was a lot of noodles, but I never mind that and it wasn't unexpected. We also got a plate of bean sprouts, thai basil, lime, and jalapeno to add as we pleased. They also offered a hot/chili type sauce to add as well if wanted. Speaking for my own, the bánh mí was perfectly crispy and loaded with pork, again with a great flavor!

In terms of the building and staff. My sister and I were the only ones in there, but we did go at an off-meal time. The staff was very friendly. They did have A/C running and the place seemed clean too.

Overall, we really enjoyed eating at Noodle House and I 100% will be back again.

I highly recommend if you like Vietnamese food!

Vegetarian options: Some dishes seemed to have a vegetarion alternative or the ability to switch out the meat for a vegetarian option (typically pho or shrimp).“

“I absolutely love their Hmong sausage and sticky rice. Also, in my opinion, they have the BEST spicy sauce I've ever had. Whenever I think about their food my mouth waters. You like spicy food, try the Hmong sausage, I'm sure you won't be disappointed“

“Amazing food! Restaurant very clean! Stuff is friendly“
