Located across the street from the San Francisco Premium outlets, this is an excellent Vietnamese restaurant! Try their menu item #1 House special Pho large: beef, tendon, brisket, tripe, and meatballs in a savory beef broth and thin rice vermicelli noodles. I also recommend their 3 piece egg rolls, with sweet chili sauce. Loved their Vietnamese iced coffee, which was strong but sweet. Lastly, I loved their Thai iced drink with jack fruit!

Wifey and I wanted to try a new Vietnamese place so I decided to try this place. We have visited this place twice so it’s time for a review.

Since it’s a pho place, I had to start with their pho - got myself a combination pho. Meats were good and the soup tasted great. My wife had their Bun Bo Hue. Not the best she’s had, but she thought it was good enough. The spring rolls were big and we got extra sauce since I was consuming it like it was free lol. The fried rice flour cake was a surprise. Not sure why that caught my wife’s attention, but she ordered it and we liked it. I was in a mood for dessert so got myself a Che Thai and it was good. Not as good as Bambu, but hit the spot. I was satisfied.

The second time we visited, I had the rice plate with pork chop, shrimp and egg cake. Pretty darn good as I gobbled up everything in sight. We ordered egg rolls and they were beautifully presented. My wife had their short ribs pho and she said it was above average.

This place is not cheap compared to other pho places, but the portion is bigger and quality is better than most pho places. I guess that justifies for the higher prices. We will definitely go back! I want to try more items on their menu.

Absolutely loved this place! The aesthetic is beautiful and calming — perfect spot to enjoy an amazing bowl of pho. The food tasted incredibly clean and fresh, and you can really tell they care about quality ingredients.
Service was fast and friendly, and I especially appreciated that the food didn’t leave me feeling heavy or bloated — no MSG that I noticed at all. Definitely a new favorite.

Nicely balanced portions, more protein than most other Vietnamese restaurants. Food quality is excellent. I will absolutely stop by here again when I'm passing through this area.

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. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

Overpriced for what it is. Nothing special, just basic Vietnamese cuisine. Food was good, service was good & clean restaurant.

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.

10/10 would recommend
