“Saigon Butter Tofu Wine sauce Ox Tail Noodle Soup Crab & Pork Meatball & Tomato Vermicelli And to drink: Taro w/Coconut Slush“

“The best bahn mi in the peninsula and debatably in the bay. I didn’t want to leave a review; because I wanted it to stay a hidden gem but now that I am moving out of San Mateo I will. Please try the grilled pork with pate, it’s the most popular one.“

“Delicious northern-style Vietnamese dishes are served at this popular restaurant in downtown San Mateo. The pho soup flavor was outstanding, and the beef and noodles were perfectly cooked. Imperial rolls were also perfectly cooked. Now I understand why there’s always a long line. Possibly my new favorite Vietnamese restaurant. Fast and efficient service, with several parking lots nearby.“

“The food here is really, really good. I came here to eat out with a friend of mine and ordered the house garlic noodles, Dungeness crab, and imperial rolls. I can't say much about the service since they gave me and my friend lots of time to catch up, so depending on what you expect, it's pretty good. That's why I gave service 4 stars. Good, but not exactly outstanding. The atmosphere is really nice. I would personally sit on a patio if it's offered, but that's completely your choice.“

“I always get good food and great service. Take out or dine in .“

“Great food and service. Always a good experience.“

“We dine here on a Sunday. So we expect it would be busy but it was almost packed. The staff was very busy but still kept it professional and accommodated us with a smile! Thank you for a wonderful meal! The Garlic Noodle beef is a must try!“

“I made an order for only one of my favorite dishes “38. Vietnamese Beef Stew Noodle Soup” Large size. The portion was huge and the taste was so good. The beef stew’s made perfectly the way I love it. I will definitely go back for it again and again. Thank you for making my day!“

“Pho Little Saigon is a cozy spot for a hearty winter lunch. Their large pho bowl of PHỞ BÒ VIÊN TÁI (beef balls and rare steak), paired with a Soda Chanh, is a perfect combo. The broth is rich, flavorful, and deeply satisfying, while the portions offer an excellent meat-to-noodle ratio, ensuring every bite is balanced and hearty. The service is quick, though table cleanup can occasionally lag. Seating is self-serve, and clean tables are generally available. At around $20 for a large bowl, the price feels fair for the portion and quality. A great place to warm up and enjoy comforting Vietnamese cuisine.“

“Great food and nice people! It’s a family run/owned business. They have a wide selection at low prices! The pho is the best I’ve had in the SF Bay Area! Always a great choice of where to eat.

Nobody asked me to make this post, but this place is a hidden gem and I want people to know.“

“Always fresh and fantastic! The guys who work there are always friendly and nice, as well!“

“Super yummy gluten free pandan mochi waffle, taro milk and mixed berry macaron! Will come back for more snacks. Also, there's always somewhere to sit even with it's not the biggest place. The teenager at the cashier seemed a little lost, but maybe it was her first day :)

Dietary restrictions: The mochi waffles are gluten free and delicious!“
