“Pho Lan, a true family-run establishment in Fremont, delivers exactly what matters most in Vietnamese cuisine: spectacular, authentic flavor and generous value. While this isn't the spot for a luxurious, white-tablecloth experience, it is hands down the best place to find truly delicious pho and rice dishes in the area.
The primary reason to visit Pho Lan is the food, and they execute it flawlessly. The flavors here are deeply authentic, showcasing the care and tradition that only a family business dedicated to its craft can provide.
The Pho: The star of the show is, naturally, the pho. The broth is rich, complex, and clean—the hallmark of high-quality pho. It’s clear that the broth simmers for hours, resulting in a depth of flavor that many chain restaurants simply cannot replicate. Whether you choose a classic rare steak or brisket combination, the meat is fresh, and the portion size is substantial.
Beyond the Broth: While the pho is a must-try, the kitchen excels across the board. The rice dishes are equally noteworthy, featuring perfectly cooked meats and well-balanced marinades. If you're looking for Vietnamese food that tastes just like the dishes prepared in a traditional home, Pho Lan delivers.
Pho Lan offers excellent value. The portions are notably generous, ensuring you leave completely satisfied. In an age where many restaurants are shrinking servings, Pho Lan maintains a commitment to great portion size, making it a fantastic choice for lunch or dinner without breaking the bank.
It is important to manage expectations regarding the dining environment and service. As a dedicated, family-run operation, the entire focus is on efficiency and getting excellent food to your table quickly.
Ambiance & Service: This is not a restaurant built on trendy decor or overly solicitous service. The atmosphere is simple, casual, and functional. Service is efficient and straightforward, reflecting the priority of the kitchen over the front of house flair. If the quality of the food is your main metric, you will be thrilled. If you expect a high-end, polished dining experience, you might need to adjust your expectations. Pho Lan is an honest, no-frills location dedicated to its culinary mission.
Pho Lan is a Fremont treasure. It’s the kind of local spot that deserves strong community support because they consistently nail the most important element: the food.
For authentic flavors, generous portions, and truly delicious Vietnamese cuisine—from the masterful pho broth to the flavorful rice plates—Pho Lan is highly recommended. Come support this dedicated family business and enjoy some of the best Vietnamese food Fremont has to offer.
This was long due- will post pictures next time I visit them.“

“I’ve been here a few times now, whenever I’m feeling under the weather or just want something warm and soothing, their congee always hits the spot. There’s something incredibly comforting about a steaming clay pot of fresh seafood congee, especially on a cold day.
The standout dish for me is the seafood congee with crab. The seafood tastes fresh, the broth is rich and flavorful!“

The restaurant was clean, comfortable, and had a great atmosphere. Every dish we tried was delicious, and the portions were generous. It's hard to find anything to complain about because everything was done so well.
Overall, an outstanding dining experience. No complaints at all—just great food, great service, and great value. We will definitely be coming back and highly recommend Hungry Cow to anyone looking for a fantastic meal!“

“The food was authentic and good! Came several times already. The owner and her son cared about their customers and the food.
They didn’t ask for your reviews like other places. I just felt that it’s too good to be hidden and want to help them to promote.“

“We tried International kitchen for lunch. This is similar to Thai food. The food is pretty authentic and tastes decent. They have a special going on at this moment with buy one and get one free entree.
The crowd size is decent around lunch time. You ordered from the kiosk and service is quite fast. Overall, this is a good place for family meals and take out. They have outside seating and pretty much a self service restaurant, cleaning up after you ate.
Overall is a very nice place to try if you are in the Milpitas area.“

“My God, their HONEY WALNUT CHICKEN is ridiculously delicious! I always ask for it extra crispy with the sauce on the side (so it doesn't get soggy) and extra sauce. It's like honey walnut shrimp but with chicken. I also get the beef chow mein mmmmm so yummy!! It's a little bit pricey but so worth it! If anyone ever wants to get me a gift for whatever occasion... This is it! 🥡🥢🍜💕“

“This place has authentic Shanghai-style desserts and wontons. The flavors taste traditional and comforting, and you can tell they put care into the food. The desserts are nicely balanced—not overly sweet—and the wontons are fresh, flavorful, and very satisfying. It’s a great spot if you’re looking for a taste of classic Shanghai comfort food. I would definitely come back again.“

“The chichen meal is good. The desert and drinks are good too.
One of my family member is a vegetarian. The store can customize the meal for vegetarians.
The store managers are nice and experienced in doing business.
I buy food from Shihlin every week. It's now one of my favorites in Fremont.“
