We really love their Tofu Spring Rolls and the Noodle Soup. It’s simply delicious, highly recommend.

Ordered off-menu pho with filet mignon and tendon, which was delicious. The meat was tender, and the soup was tasty and at just the right temperature. You place order at the counter and pay up front before finding a table by yourself. Overall, while the food was good, I found the price to be a bit high for the service that you get.

The food is very good, staff are very nice and the restaurant is clean. But, it seems their operation is understaffed as the service speed is on the slow side (you could end up waiting 30 minutes for your lunch). If you are not in rush, this is a very nice place to go for lunch. But, if you’re in rush probably should have lunch somewhere else.

So happy that Star Anise opened so close to where we live, and that they're still around even though they opened just a bit before 2020 came along. I love the grilled rib eye plate and their pho is so tasty!

Pricey for the portion sizes. Broth was good, but a lot of pepper and meat was not very soft. They also use thick noodles as there default but don't mention it on the menu. When I asked the server to switch to the skinny noodles he was rude and said I should have asked. He made feel uncomfortable and I explained it didn't say it on the menu so I couldn't have known. Won't be going back.

Great service, the pho broth goes hard with springy wide noodles, and the vermicelli bowls are light with wonderfully charred protein. There are solid drinks as well - both of their lemonades are great

Was looking for a closer place to get good Pho than the Sunnyvale place we like, this place was 6 minutes away and had good reviews.Unfortunately this is not it, the broth was too strong flavored and lacked depth.We also tried the Mao Bao and it was chewy, as if warmed in a microwave or not fresh.Will keep looking for a closer Pho place.P.s. our favorite Pho place is Pho Nam in Sunnyvale, which is 20 minutes away for us.

I ordered the shaken beef plate and my partner ordered the veggie Pho (vegan) and they were delicious! I pretty much order shaken beef plate at all the Vietnamese restaurants and this one was by far my favorite!The egg was a nice surprise. Great spot for a lunch! ?

Pho broth was tasty, but wish had more meat taste in the broth. Meat was good, noodles are the thicker variant of rice noodles. Price was a bit on the high side at 16$ a bowl
Pho ? was average as was the Vietnamese ?? sandwich ?. The filet mignon was over cooked and the noodles ? were not cooked enough. However, they had Plenty of seating in and out with ample parking area as well. The decor was pleasant as was the overall ambiance but it’s highly unlikely we will be returning…not because the food ? was terrible, but simply it’s out of the way and not worth it.

This pho, the noodles are so good!Of course the soup is delicious, but a restaurant with good noodles is precious.

Wasn't sure to expect but the food was fresh and delicious.

I've ordered from here twice now, both takeout.The second time they got our order wrong, realized when we got home and called to let the staff know. The guy who answered didn't care at all. Basically just said, "our bad, sorry". No compensation, no offer to fix the order and come get it, nothing.That is some poor customer service, I'll go elsewhere from now on.

We had spring rolls and pho and it was great! The food tasted really fresh. Can’t wait to try more items on the menu. Also huge plus is that the place has a nice atmosphere. Very cute and clean.
