Really disappointed. The $17 of paper money I spent probably had more flavor than this food. The vegetable rice plate is sooo plain. Doesn’t even taste like vegetables honestly just water. I went at 1pm for lunch.

soup was saltier then the ocean, skimpy servings of meat and there over here charging damn near 20$ for not even mid tier pho, i also ordered spring rolls and they tasted as if they had been sitting out for hour maybe even days, the rice paper was hard and a little stale while the shrimp had an interesting taste to it. after the meal, i ended up going home to sleep and found my self woken up at 4 am with the intense urge for some thirst quenching water, it turns out that gallon of salt pho broth dehydrated my whole body, my mouth was drier then the sahara desert. One positive thing and the only reason this place doesn’t get a 1 star is because the cashier dude was chill i guess

First timer.Nice place but the food isn't good enough to finish eating. More expensive compared to other places. Chopsticks across the street is my preference.

Food was very good, portions were generous, restaurant felt clean. Service was good, you walk in ordered and pay at the counter and find a table. They will bring the food to your table. I may be out of touch with the going prices but it seemed a bit pricey although we all did enjoy our meal and would come back because of that. We had the grilled pork rice plate, combination bun, med size pho #1, a can of coconut juice, an order of fried chicken wings for $76. I would recommend.

We've been looking for more local pho places to give us a little break from the usual and found Pho Nation.First of all, I kind of like the idea of paying first. It allows me to finish my food, leave my tip on the table and get up and leave. I also appreciate having to get my own water, because I'm hella thirsty! I'm always so shy asking for water over and over again.My pho was amazing! I loved all the meat in my dish that I ate that first before filling myself with the noodles. My husband got the grilled pork, fried chicken and fried eggroll. The eggroll was for me! It was so good, we had to go back and add an order of eggrolls on the side. We got there a little before the dinner rush so it was nice and quiet, Monday Night Football in the tv with good music. Can't wait to come back!

Best vegetarian pho I've had in the East bay! The broth is delicious and earthy with many vegetables and fried tofu. I always end up getting the large sized pho and I get two meals out of it. Also, if you like spicy, ask for the spicy sauce - it adds even more flavor to the broth!I've never dined in but the ambiance seems easygoing when I've gone to pickup. There are plenty of parking and other restaurants nearby.Highly recommend the vegetarian pho!

Nice ambience, clean tables. You seat yourself and order at the front. They have all the essential condiments, importantly the garlic chili sauce! I had the grilled shrimp with rice salad and soup. The soup was bland and too salty. The salad had no dressing. I also has the grilled chicken vermicelli bun, the chicken was tasty. Overall a good place with simple food.

Extremely salty food. Ordered the rice plate. Took two bites to try and eat it but really could not. Asked if it can be replaced. The girl in front was the rudest and said we can't give you free food. $17 is not free?! anyways never coming back here. Plus they ask you to pay in front when you order and give a tip. Should have not gave them one. Worst vietnamese restaurant I've tried

Came across this pho place near Newark because the interior looks updated. You would be ordering at the counter and they would bring out the food. There is jasmine tea and water on the side self served. Food was good and came out efficient. My friends ordered the beef soup pho while I ordered the vermicelli. I liked my bowl and the fish sauce was a bottle that you can add as much as you want. My friend's pho were ok, a bit too fat and not rare enough in my opinion. The price is a tat higher than a regular pho place.
Not a bad place for pho, but there are honestly too many pho places within the 5 mile radius for this place to be one of our top choices.The prices, first off, are on the higher end compared to other pho places in the area. You order first at the counter, and then you're given a number. Seating is self-service, as well as water and tea (which is complimentary, so I guess the higher prices incorporate that in?).The portion and taste of the broth is just average. I've had better and I've had worse, but at that price point, I thought they could give more meat and have a tastier broth.Ambiance is nice. It's pretty clean and there are TVs everywhere.

I would give this place 3.5 stars for taste, service, and vibes. We came in for a quick meal during the week, and there was no wait time at all. You order first at the register and then seat yourself, so it feels more like a casual/take-out joint than a standard restaurant. Utensils and water are also self-serve. Note: the restaurant closes at 8 pm most days.I got the standard pho combo and it came out quickly with all the usual toppings and condiments. The noodles were cooked well, though the broth was a little too salty for my enjoyment. I usually don't add that much lime to my pho but for this dish I had to for balance. The portions were decent; I would have liked a little more noodle in my dish but the meat and veggies were evenly distributed and tasted fine - nothing mind-blowing.I'm curious about their dry noodle dishes so would probably come back to try one, but for pho, there are probably other places that give you more taste for your buck.
