This is absolutely my favorite Pho place in Dublin (and maybe East Bay in general) — the moment you walk in, the aroma of the fragrant broth hits you like a truck.
Normally I don’t want pho at other Vietnamese restaurants (because I don’t like their pho so I typically get the rice plates), but the smell of the broth here is so good, I get it every time.
The other thing I like about this place is they have portion sizes: S, M, and L
This time, I got #24 M (which is chicken meat, slices of pork, fish cake, shrimp and rice noodle seeped in rich and velvety chicken & pork broth). It was delicious 😋 I already ate a few noodles and meat in the picture, but you can’t tell. 😆
The soup most likely has MSG— but as Uncle Roger says, that stands for make shi good.
Highly recommend coming here, esp on a cold winter day for some hearty warm soup for the soul 💖

Small sharing bowls are so dirty in each bowl with a layer of black dust. Portion is not quite large even though it’s large size.

Cozy ambiance, food good, and service friendly. Like the restaurant setting, modern interior colors blending well with wood panels and decors; sitting is spacious.

This place has really high quality and delicious pho. Price is really great too, and so is the portion size. It's a must try. The food is fresh including the toppings.

Pho is good with good condiments. Only negative is how sick the condiment bottles are, makes you want to wash your hands after using them
The pho broth is very good. the beef stew broth also good. other dishes OK.

This is a highly recommended local restaurant we should support and treasure! I went there this afternoon for a quick lunch and ordered a small Combo Pho and a piece of Fried Shrimp Cake.For the Combo Pho, the meat quality is great and sufficient and the pho amount is just right! Most importantly is that the soup is hot and you won’t get thirsty after having their soup. At $12.50 price, that’s a great price in Tri-Valley since pandemic.Also, I’d ordered a piece of Fried Shrimp Cake as the side of my pho. The shrimp cake is crispy and full of shrimp flavor and I can cut it into 9 bite size and it only cost me $7.00 only!

Their beef pho is... ok... Broth tastes "a bit different" from other pho place around the bay area. Only a few small and thin slices of beef. Price is "reasonable" compared to other pho places if we don't consider the portion. Service was great though, despite low on staff, the only waitress was efficient.
