“We are glad we found Dope Pho restaurant in Fremont. I and my husband are vegetarian/eggitarian and we were looking for a Vietnamese restaurant with veg options especially Vietnamese rice noodles soup called pho (made with vegetable broth). It is called Do Chay on the menu (indicating no fish, meat, or chicken broth). The place is simple, clean, and bright. Our server was a nice and a caring person. The service was very good. We loved their healthy food that was light on stomach. The Pho was delicious. Grilled tofu was tasty eaten with thick soy sauce. They have veg egg rolls and tofu egg rolls which we plan to try next time. The presentation of food was appetizing. The portions are large. The prices reasonable… Overall a satisfying experience for the palate!“

“The pho here was amazing! The broth was rich and flavorful, and the beef was perfect. A great spot for dinner during my business trip. The prices are on the higher side but reasonable for the quality, so it's worth considering. I will definitely come back!“

“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 work nearby and googled “Bahn mi near me” and found this highly rated place. The line was out the door a little before noon and someone called them a “staple go-to of Union City” and told me you have to get there early.
I got a sandwich and spring rolls for like $16 total and I’m used to paying like $20-25 at other places“

“I ordered their Bún bò Huế. It’s not as spicy as it looks but has an amazing flavor bomb. The only thing I was sad I didn’t see was the blood cubes, pork trotters/hocks that I usually enjoy in it. Other than that, the portion was generous for the price and I would definitely come back for it.
Bonus Points:
You can tell it’s a family establishment because everyone does their part to keep the restaurant super clean and everything restocked on the table.“

“The food here was phenomenal!! Our order was taken by the restaurant grandpa, and he was the sweetest. He literally walks away, and two minutes later, our food is at our table. The broth was delicious. Some of the best we have had around this area. And then best part is, it was affordable.“

“Very good Vietnamese food, very clean, fresh, delicious, with such great, great service! Family style meals! Would recommend to all. Must try all of the other many dishes here asides from always ordering the lettuce wraps with the meat rolls, still can't remember what this dish's name is though I've been told, like, 20 times. Horrible memory. Hot tea is very good too!
I don't think they have pho or bun, just an FYI.
In the Milpitas Center Shopping Mall strip mall with Paris Baguette, Daeho, Jang Su Jang, Grocery Outlet, etc.“

“Pho Saigon was conveniently close to my hotel, and I was seated right away. I ordered the pho, which came in a generous bowl with plenty of meat options, including short rib, meatball, tendon, and tripe. The garnishes were plentiful, the service was pleasant, and I had no trouble parking at lunchtime. I’d go back.“

“This place is a fantastic spot for authentic Vietnamese food! The moment I walked in, the cozy atmosphere and the smell of fresh herbs and spices made me feel like I was in Vietnam. I ordered the pho and the spring rolls, and both were amazing—the broth was rich and flavorful, and the rolls were fresh and crispy. The portions were generous, and the prices were very reasonable, which is always a win. The staff was friendly and attentive, though the service was a bit slow, probably because it was busy. The only downside was that the place is pretty small, so finding a table during peak hours can be a challenge. Also, the parking situation wasn’t great, so I had to circle around for a bit. But honestly, the food more than made up for it. If you’re craving real Vietnamese flavors, this is the spot!
Vegetarian options: Yes, there are a few vegan options on the menu, like vegetable pho and vegan spring rolls, but the selection isn't huge.“

“Dakao sandwiches has been around for over 30 years maybe 40. Decor is probably original. Anyway banh mi sandwiches are generally good. Expect to pay 7 dollars for a standard banh mi. They use a 10 inch narrow baguette. Filling is ok but uneven. Buy 2 and it's still less than what you would pay for a sandwich from a deli or sandwich shop.“

“Incredibly delicious bone broth. Thank goodness places like this exist! The service deserves special praise; despite the large crowds—especially on weekends—the whole team handles everything very quickly. But for soup this good, I’d be willing to wait days :) I’m already looking forward to my next visit.“

“This is our favorite com tam place in the area! The shrimp cake in the com tam here is sooo good! It's very moist while the outside is perfectly crispy.
The service here is amazing. They're always looking out for us and our baby, picking the best table in the restaurant for us and our stroller. We love the variety of their menu, too. They have pho, banh khot, phnom penh hu tieu, and I heard the lady say she also has banh hoi! Sooo good, I feel like this place will go viral.“

“i like it here. good food, great corn dogs! sandwiches kind of lack meat tho, and last time i got extra meat there was still not a lot. i felt cheated out of my money.
cheese foam is salty, didnt expect that because i always buy from happy lemon lollll. the drinks are ok
service is fine. easy and straight forward
anyways, the bacon egg and cheese croissant is really eh. its not the best… the mochi nut is ok, and the prices are… i guess its whats considered average now.“

“Great stuff! Chinese Vietnamese style pho served with a ginger scallion sauce which really makes the dish. You can pick from 4 different kinds of noodles.
Boneless Chicken Noodle ($15.99) - Shredded chicken for the lazy customers! Broth tasted pretty good.“
“First time here and they have a unique menu. Meet the owners & they were chill. Found out they got a location in SF too. I got the Viet Coffee with Coconut condensed milk... it hits like A1. Also got the Special (Dac Biet) Sandwich... and it Smacked! Will definitely be back to try the more unique fusion sandwiches like the Kare Kare one.“

“Have been here a few times already and everything is consistently delicious. Thought it was about time for a review! Most recently, I ordered the pho ga (chicken pho) just as it is and it was flavorful, full of good size chicken pieces, ample noodles, and the broth was perfect. Toppings on the side were plentiful (basil, lemon, sprouts, etc.). I also ordered a soda chanh (lemon soda) and some spring rolls. Again, never an issue with the freshness or quantity provided. Just loved it and highly recommended you pay this restaurant a visit if you're in Union City and are seeking a wonderful Vietnamese restaurant. While I haven't tried the other meat/rice dishes they offer (since I typically only ordered pho), my other family members have and will attest that they are made well and are of sizeable portion. Also, the family that runs this place is always kind and efficient. Thank you so much!“

“I ordered food on doordash from here pretty late at night before they closed because it was one of the few places open at 2-3am. When I picked it up the food was fresh, hot, and the flavor was great. Ive previously had food from here and the only thing I didnt like was the lemon chicken, the pieces that were fried were very small and dry making it almost impossible to eat and chew through, but every other item ive had from here so far was much better in quality and taste.“
