I rarely crash out, but this place made me so upset. 4.4 stars on Google? If this place is 4.4 stars, I'm a unicorn. I have been to dozens of pho spots across the world, and I have never been so let down. I'm Asian and you can count this as a credible review. Do not come here, do not waste your precious time, money, and calories on this place. I have not been so disappointed in a restauraunt in years. Oh man, let me paint you a picture real quick. I handpicked this spot that was #4 on Yelp and drove out 15 minutes out of the way bc I trusted the reviews and pictures.
First of all, you're basically paying $20 for a bowl of large bowl of pho. $18 for a medium. You will not pull the bowl trick on me. There was probably 4-5 bites of noodles in my large pho and 3 thin slices of meat. I measured my large portion to my girlfriend's medium portion and I just felt so disrespected. Both portions were the skimpiest thing I've seen. I'm not trying to be cheap by any means - I don't care about how much money I pay for food if it's good. I'M A REAL EATER. But for pho standards this is taxed - and if I'm paying this much for a bowl of noodles, it better not taste like dishwater. I told the owner how I felt as well. He thought I refund would make up for it but I would rather he just did a better job. He knows back home that this bowl is $2 to $3 dollars and he is serving a disgraceful bowl of pho. I get we're in Livermore, but don't try to serve some lazy gentrified flavorless pho. Also the Vietnamese iced coffee just tasted like some vanilla creamer. Do you know how hard it is to mess up a cup of Vietnamese coffee and a bowl of noodles and soup?
No spoons or napkins at our table as well. We asked for napkins multiple times, they never came. I had to go to the bathroom to get napkins to wipe off the grease on my hands from these 3 eggrolls for $12. Every pho spot I've ever been to, they take your order within 5 minutes. This place took almost 15 min to take my order and it wasn't even packed out.
This place is STINGY and a RIP OFF. Service is horrible, food is horrible. I've never had a pho spot make me feel so out of character and crash out like this. Disgusting, wouldn't come back here if you paid me. I feel betrayed by all these reviews. Do better owner. My mind is blown I even have to write this review. This was a disgrace and I was embarrassed to come here.

The meat is incredibly tough, making it difficult to chew, and the portion of noodles is disappointingly small. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

Visiting my dear husband’s home state with his childhood friends, we were soaking in the crisp California weather when the craving for pho hit. Our friends, who are regulars here, brought us and I have to say… it was divine. Larry welcomed us like family. It wasn’t too busy for a Monday evening, so the service was quick and everything came out perfectly organized. We ordered a #2, #3, #4, and a rice plate, the flavors were ravishing, the textures spot-on, and the whole experience felt like authentic, soul-warming pho at its finest.

This is one of the best Vietnamese Pho in Tri-Valley, not should be in Bayarea. Clean, quiet, beautiful painted wall. Good layout. Of course their food is wonderful. We definitely will come again and again
Dropped by over the weekend. Tried this place out as we haven't been to this part of the plasince it was built out.
The decor was pleasant and modern looking. There was plenty of parking so no issues there.
The food was just okay. Nothing fancy, but I found my chicken dish overcooked and strangely sweet. The sauce was odd as well as it tasted like straight up soy sauce and vinegar. I would skip the chicken dish.

The food and service were excellent. We're always in search of good pho on a cold winter's day and this did not disappoint! The spring roll was one of the best I've had - fresh, light and just the right balance of ingredients. A good pho starts and ends with the broth... and this broth was delightfully light with a deep umami flavor. We will definitely come back when we are craving another hot bowl of pho!
