“I came here on the recommendation of a friend and the pho here is really delicious.I didn't understand what the other opinions said about the noodles being overcooked, maybe it was that one time (I think they had the option to tell the waiter about the problem, and they would have fixed it).We received the noodles just right and I made a mistake when I ordering something for a child of my family and they helped me make the solution very kindly.“
“I'm very grateful for to have some Vietnamese options here in little ol' Newark. There's plenty of parking nearby and seating inside.Their Chao (Vietnamese congee/porridge) is the first thing that I think of when I'm feeling under the weather. My go-to is the pork and deserved duck egg. It's the perfect texture and combination of flavors. There's quite a bit of thinly sliced ginger that you have to sift through if you're like me and prefer not to chew on it, but it does add to the flavor.I've also had their chicken wings in the past, and it didn't disappointment.“
“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.“
“Great place for a Viet coffee and banh mhi at decent prices. I like their #2 cha lua and #7 thit nuong (warm). My only complaint is the music they play. It isnt bad but Viet love songs are so damn sad that my GF started crying during our meal which kinda ruined our lunch.“
“This is hands down the best vegetarian Vietnamese food I’ve ever had. The summer rolls were fresh and delicious. I also had the vegan duck soup which had a great broth. It’s owned by a sweet family. Support locally owned businesses and come!“
“So glad my friend found this place on Google map. It is now one of my top pho to-gos for sure. Food is absolutely amazing. We ordered one porridge, 2 different pho & one egg noodle dish and had to share them bc all of them taste so good. The owner who runs this place is so nice and fun to talk to. Highly recommended!“
“Tamarine is a upscale Vietnamese restaurant in Palo Alto. The last time I came here, I thought all of the dishes were amazing. After this time, I think it's a bit overpriced for the quality of food, but the service is definitely on-par. FOOD [3.5/5] =========== + Empress Rice (3/5) For the price of $15, I thought this dish was too expensive. It's great sticky rice but the seasoning is weak and the egg was overcooked. + Ha Long Bay Soup (3/5) I ordered this because the reviews said this was a really good soup but unfortunately I didn't really enjoy it at all. It was way too sour for my liking and we couldn't end up finishing the dish because it was just that sour. + Banh Mi Roti (3/5) The roti was great! The dipping sauce was okay. It wasn't as flavorful as I thought it would be. + Shaking Beef (4/5) Really tender beef. Was a little disappointed because even though the meat was cooked well, I thought this was a really simple dish for the price. SERVICE [5/5] =========== No complaints about service! They were very attentive, changed out our plates after every course with perfect timing, and very friendly.“
“The imperial pho is amazing, light, balanced, perfect portion... The beef while still mostly rare melts in your mouth. There's a few other standout menu items including the Shaken beef and tuna tartare. Still haven't tried a lot of the things on the menu, though, because the pho is too good to skipDietary restrictions: Most dietary restrictions seem to be accommodated with specific dishes and requests“
“Do you like chicken? How about pho? If so, this place is right up your alley! This seems like a newer location of a branch originally based in San Leandro (which I've never been to). It's in the same strip mall as a bunch of Asian restaurants and Marina Foods, so you have no shortage of options. However, I recommend coming here for these reasons: 1. Everything looks super new and clean! The decor, bathroom, and tables were all sparkling. I normally don't mind more cluttered hole in the wall type places but the clean interiors made me feel calm as soon as I walked in. 2. Note that they only serve chicken dishes. Which is fine, because I love chicken. I got the #1 dish which consists of steamed chicken in a big bowl of pho with all the usual toppings. It also came with a delicious ginger scallion concoction which was flavorful and generous. The chicken was piping hot and fresh, and the noodles and soup were nice complements to it. 3. Service was great! They speak both Mandarin and Cantonese so if you want to order in one of those languages, you can (of course English works too). No wait, and while the restaurant is small, like I mentioned above everything is nice and orderly so there's no chaos. Very nice environment to enjoy a warm meal in, especially on a cold day. I'm coming back to try their plethora of drinks! (What's available: Vietnamese coffee, Thai tea, soy milk, various unique sodas)“
“I went to this place a couple days ago I had their Beef pho here and its good the only thing is that I feel like they need to improve on is the pho broth and service. The pho broth seems like it needed more flavor and more fish sauce. And they did not give me a soup spoon until much later but other than that its a decent place to get a nice bowl of pho. And the Ambiance is so calming overall a 4/5“
“Finally got to order from here. Ended up getting beef combo soup, grilled pork over rice and some banh mi. The pho was very nice and broth not overly salted. The banh mi were pretty good. I would prefer more filling. Affordable and tasty, very easy parking.“
“My First time trying Pho and I have to say great for a rainy day!My baby and I got chicken soup and some garlic noodles... ??And my mommy got the steak.Customer service was on point .Will return ?Parking: Because there are so many great shops here, parking can be a bit crazy sometimesKid-friendliness: Children friendly options available“
“Looking for a place to celebrate Valentine’s Day? One of the best kept secrets in Milpitas might be Chez Christina on Jacklin Road. This Vietnamese / French Bistro style restaurant is offering a Valentine’s Day Prex Fixe menu that’s sure to please. Check it out, but you will need reservations.“
“A great BYO Asian bowl spot on Stanford campus! The place is pretty popular with students, so there tends to be a line around lunchtime. Bowls are around $12, all meats are the same price. There is no seating inside, just grab and go, but there are some nice seating areas right outside.I had a salad bowl with half tocino and half panko chicken. Loved the texture and flavor of both meats, and the variety and amount of vegetables I got in my bowl. The tocino pork had a great sweet and savory flavor and the panko chicken was crispy and tender.Topped it off with the sriracha mayo sauce.Would definitely return to try their other protein options!“
“So great to find a Vietnamese that actually serves the 7 Beef Course in the Bay area. I thought this specialty could only be found in Vietnam. We surely ordered their 7 Beef Course (2 orders minimum for this set), with a couple of other side dishes.The taste of the 7 beef course was surprisingly authentic from the wrap, the beef dishes to the sauce. I felt like I was back to our hometown and was enjoying this with family. Other dishes were amazing, too.However, it’s quite pricey for $37 for one order. We enjoyed it nonetheless. And, one thing to note is that their kitchen closes at 8:30pm despite the restaurant’s close time is at 9pm. After 8:30pm, they will refuse to serve any new guests, so please plan your visit accordingly.Vegetarian options: Would not recommend to vegetarian friends because this restaurant clearly indicates that their main menu is beef.Dietary restrictions: Their dishes contain many common allergies such as peanut, egg, many types of meats. Please consult with waiters before ordering.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair entrance and tables“
“First time here with my friend for pho and it was good, my friend and I enjoyed the pho that we ordered! They offer a good amount of food in the menu and even seafood boil! Their service is pretty quick with seating and serving the food. Ambiance is family friendly and their parking lot offers plenty of spots.“
“Delicious banh mi‘s! I got pork bbq, and the meat was well done (was slightly dry), veggies fresh, bread not fresh enough to be crunchy and hold well (that’s a good thing!).Do get extra hot sauce.Also, they’re not cash only - they do take Zelle!“
“Great hole in the wall place to get your soymilk/tofu fix. It's in a very unassuming plaza, across from another much bigger Asian shopping plaza. My favorites are the soymilk and tofu pudding which are both so fresh. The sweet soymilk isn't too sweet and is $5 per half gallon. The tofu pudding ($6 for a large) is freshly made every day and is piping hot when served and very filled to the brim, so be careful when opening it up. It comes with a ginger syrup. Personally I don't like ginger so I just sprinkle some sugar on top. The tofu pudding runs out though so just keep that in mind. Also, this place is cash only.“
“No. 1 best Vietnamese noodle in town.Any time when my family is in town in Milpitas, we would always love to go to this authentic Vietnamese noodle restaurant for a great hot beef soup.Always our first choice & best noodle restaurant in town“
“Parking: If you come between 12pm-1:30pm on weekdays, it is a little bit challenging to find parking. However, currently, you can park at the parking lot across the street in the empty supermarket.Weekends tend to be more busy. It's a popular Vietnamese restaurant around this area. Good foods and large portions.Wheelchair accessibility: There is handicap ♿️ parking available, and the restaurant is spacious enough for wheelchair accessible.“
“Definitely get the lemongrass beef and grilled pork sandwiches and the marshmallows from hello kitty and get the V iced coffees the service is lovely the food is amazing and everything is very beautifully displayed; I need to come back and try more items like their bao and fresh rolls. Thank you especially to the staff for being so kind!“
“Been here for many years since the early 2000s although the price has changed the quality has mostly remained the same. The bbq beef banh mi is heavenly although a bit skimpy on the meat the sauce also is out of the world that doesn’t compare to other Vietnamese sandwich shops. The rice and noodle dishes are good for the portion. This is a family owned business so it is cash only . Plenty of side dishes or snacks to choose from at the counter“
“I love the broth!!!! I can tell that you must have braised the broth forever since the broth was so good. I was busy each time my husband wanted to take me so I asked him to buy to go. OMG a I opened the door coming home to smell Pho all over my home. It felt as if I was at the restaurant. The aroma was pho-Ing good!!! The meat was pho-tastic.and I love the huge volume of onions and fresh tasking ginger in every bite. If you love pho or if you love noodles or if you love food, then you must visit this Pho Thin Ha Noi - pho-ing good.“
“Ordered house special noodle soup.It's Saturday afternoon around 3pm. Driving there was really IMPOSSIBLE. Parking lot was totally jammed by Costco customers and also the in/out of the parking lot. We were frustrated after spending 20 min just to get in, make a circle, then come out. Eventually, we parked a block away then walked to the restaurant.Parking: Next to Costco and all available parking spaces were taken (many of them were there for Costco for sure).“
“Pro:Excellent go to spot for Bún bò Huế.Very friendly staff.Consistent food and fast service.Water carafe for the table is a major plus.Dining is always a great experience.Take out is quick and well packed.Con:Restaurant is in a very busy lot with other food establishments and a large grocery store. Parking is pretty tough on the weekends.“
“This is an amazing place.I had a small bowl of chicken phó, but the small bowl was pretty big. I loved it. I was not able finish it. All the sides were served and sauces were on the table.I did not have to ask for anything extra, customer service was 10/10. The restaurant also deserves 10/10 for cleanliness.I dropped my napkin on the floor by accident and the nice gentleman saw, and brought extra napkins over to my table with out me asking.That was nice of him.“
“Milk tea with popping boba was good. Popcorn chicken was also good. It came out a little slow but it's probably because it's only one person working. We are coming back to try more for sureParking: lotsKid-friendliness: I would want my kid to go here“

“We had our company lunch at this place, and everyone loved the food. The vegan noodle laska is really good. You can ask for making it spicy. The vegan chicken that was made with jack fruit was an interesting pick, and the basil fries + sweet potato fries were the choices for vegeterian starters. The place has a really good vibe, decorated with flowers and lights. I would surely recommend this place! Folks at our company also enjoyed their bone marrow and popcorn chicken.Vegetarian options: They have a decent vegetarian section“
“We came here to have a quick lunch. Food came fast and the order was correct. The broth was well balanced and quite good. I can rate the broth on how many items I need to add to the broth to get it to my taste, and I didn’t have to add anything to make it taste good. I would like to come back and try other items as they have other items such as vermicelli dishes as well. I have bookmarked this place for a return trip!“
“Good food. Service is good as long as the manager/owner is helping wait the tables. Parking can be really challenging, depending on what day and time it is. Usually the parking is hard to find on weekends and evenings.Parking: The location is at the corner of A St x Hesperian, next to BK and other stores so parking lot is full of patrons going to all the other businesses around“
“I miss this place so much! It used to be a regular lunch spot when we were at the office. I am happy to hear they are still in business and will visit soon. My favorite meal is the vermicelli bowl served with lemongrass chicken and a veggie egg roll! Everything is so fresh and full of flavor!“
“Le Paradis & La Patisserie truly excels in its service. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with genuine smiles and attentive staff. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu, making excellent wine recommendations that paired perfectly with our dishes. The impeccable service made our evening unforgettable.“
“?????Nah- this place gets a 5 star here's why. I, an avid lover of pho, have lived all over CA from the bay, to LA, to Sac. I've tried SOOOOO many pho spots- THIS PLACE IS THE TRUTH. No broth can compare. Some dude commented that the broth was off. No, Sir. Either Your tastebuds are or youre just used to mediocre broth profiles. Listen folks- i dont get paid for this but i will take the time to show some love to this Amazing pho house. Put it like this- I was born in the bay and I asked all my local vietnemese homies, maybe 17 years ago now, when my pho game was in its infancy, where to go other than their grandmas house for that quality bowl of pho and they said the Pho Pasteur. Them folks are friends for real. 5 stars ? ????“
“Growing up in a Vietnamese household, it is difficult to find a restaurant that makes their dishes taste like a home-cooked meal. The difference is the passion and love. This is a family owned restaurant. I ordered the pork chop rice plate (com tam thit nuong). One bite and you can tell that the owner cooks every piece of food on that plate like she would cook for her own children. That loving motherly touch is undeniable. The pork chop is cooked so that it’s not burnt or dry. Not too salty. The vegetables are meticulously cleaned and picked out. The egg yolk is perfectly runny with crispy on the edges. The baguette is warm and comforting. And more than the tastes is the warm loving feeling that ensues.The parking lot is free and has plenty of spaces. Service is straight to the point, no fluff. You come, order, eat. Lunchtime is quite busy so time your visit accordingly.The people here works hard to serve quality and loving food. Can’t recommend enough.“
“The best take out Thai food I’ve ever had! I love their yellow curry. It’s sweet and savory with a little spice. I like it mild, so I ordered no spice! Love their pineapple fried rice, their wasabi walnut prawns, their roti, and the green curry, too. This is our go to spot. It is dark and small to eat in, but we love to take out!“
“Just had the best pho I had in my life. Another thing that really impressed me was how they set up the tipping system. It’s 7% 9% and 11% which I thought given inflation was pretty cool. My plan is to go back to this place every chance I get.“
“This was my first time there. I kinda found it by accident. It proved to be a great accidental find!I had the vegan fish sandwich with aioli sauce. The sandwich was really good and it was loaded with vegetables. It tasted so much like fish I had to ask the owner what the fish was made of. As it turned out the vegan fish is made room tofu and imported from Taiwan. I know firsthand that Taiwan is known for making mock meats from soy that taste like the “real” thing.The owners appear to be upgrading the restaurant. So the aesthetics were not quite there yet.But the sandwich I had tasted really good and that was the most important thing for me. I do recommend it for a quick bite (no pun intended). And I also plan to come again next time I’m in Mountain View.Five stars on taste and presentation for me. I hope this review helps.Dietary restrictions: Vegan and vegetarian friendly“
“This place is tucked away from the main through way. It was fairly busy considering it was a late Monday lunch. Ordered a staple, tai and brisket pho' . Broth was average, not heavily flavored, but the portion for a regular order made me glad I did not order the large. The brisket was flavorful.I will add this to revisit list so I can try other menu items.“
“Been eating Pho a LOT since college in East Coast.This place did not disappoint. One of the better ones I've had since I've been visiting West Coast.Pretty generous portion. The Pho was awesome. The BoLucLac was pretty good.Service was fast and professional. Place was clean.“
“Their prices have gone up since we've visited last, but their sandwiches still hit the spot. Their boba is okay. I don't think I'd come here for boba though. Vietnamese sandwich cravings, yes, definitely will be back. Parking is okay. Spots are a little tight, but it's never too busy anyways. This place is definitely just a small cafe to order food and drinks to go. No tables to eat on.“
“Folks who go to Asian Box go because the food is reliable and tasty. This is NOT what this review is about (because it is still reliable and tasty). This review is for the service. Door Dash screwed up my order (not surprising) so after realizing that I was NOT going to get my Asian Box order delivered, I drove to the restaurant to place the order again. I spoke with Wendy, the Executive General Manager, and she was understanding, kind, and most importantly, professional. She immediately helped me with my order and expediated it so quickly, I should have just gone to the restaurant to place my order instead of relying on Door Dash. Also, I want add that their crew quickly put together 6 orders in 5 minutes. Go there if you want to be treated kindly and respectfully because fewer and fewer places nowadays seem to remember that service is just as important as food quality and taste.“
“Very surprised this place is not more crowded. Hidden gem for sure...Bánh khọt was light, crispy, coconut-y and yummy.Súp cua was close to what i had in Vietnam.Bún thịt nướng was also on point. I very enjoy it.Will definitely come back!“
“We were craving a little snack one sunny Sunday afternoon and decided to give this place a try. We were surprised at how cute it was inside not your usual basic pho place. We were for two sandwiches Grilled Pork and Combo and beef spring rolls. Service was quick sandwiches were large portion could have easily split one but they were a little dry but we were still impressed that they were tasty as they were it's hard to find good bahn Mi on peninsula.“
“I come here just for the mango smoothie. It’s the best mango smoothie I’ve had. I’ve gotten mango smoothies from actual boba places and it’s always too thin and watery, this place makes a thick one. Other places need to step up their smoothie game. Lord I hope these dudes never change their recipe. Also remember life is fleeting!“
“If you're thinking of eating pho, eat early because there is no ac in here. Spacious restaurant. My friends and I ordered grilled pork over rice, grilled beef over vermicelli, grilled pork over Vermicelli and pork chop over rice. The flavor was good 8/10. The eggrolls were crunchy and flavor was good 8/10. We came late around 8 pm and they close at 9. We got our food within 20 mins. Service was fast. They gave huge portion on the grilled pork over rice. We end up taking leftovers to go. I would come back here again.“
“Everything about this restaurant is amazing. The food is amazing. They should plan on expanding their store because they will be very popular soon. Best Vietnamese food out in hayward. Service is fast cant complain. Prices are also great. Keep it up..“
“Their vermicelli bowl with grilled pork and egg rolls is pretty damn good - I'd say the best one I've found so far! The grilled pork has a nice char and very flavorful and tender! Only problem is for the price of nearly $18 dollars it is not filling. I'd expect to be full paying nearly 20 bucks for a meal. The other problem is that they are cash only so minus 1 star! And no I don't want to use their ATM machine.“
“I wanted to go to this place based on the design and food. The food and service is great, but the problem is how the inside of the restaurant. It feels bland inside due to the choice of colors and there are hardly any decorations. It also feels hot inside too, but it’s probably because of the hot weather outside.There are rarely seatings here due to the size of the place. I really like the Pho, however. I wouldn’t really wanna dine here due to atmosphere. Maybe next time, I’ll just do a takeout.“
