Noodles near Pleasanton, CA

“Food: Never thought we’d be able to find such authentic Korean food here! Everything we ordered is good and definitely well seasoned as it should be like in Korea.
We’re a bit confused when we’re ordering the spicy pork. They have 2 options on the menu, one with rice and one without. There wasn’t further confirmation so we ended up getting one with rice but still works for us.

Service: they are so warm and welcoming!

Ambiance: it’s a small restaurant but very clean and nice.“

“The clear broth beef noodle soup is THE BEST. Beef is tender, noodles are soft, and the broth has so much flavor.

Also the beef pancake is a great side. Super flaky and the beef is very tender. This is my second time here in a month lol.“

“This place was absolutely amazing! It's freezing here in the Trivalley and so I wanted something to warm me up and this hot the spot. I ordered the oiled pork with garlic sauce for an appetizer and the braised beef noodle soup for my main course. The food was top tier, especially the soup which came with tender beef and handmade noodles in a savoury rich broth which had loads of flavor. I will definitely be a regular there from now and and can't wait to try the rest of their menu. I highly recommend this place.“

“Delicious and fresh every time!“

“Reminds me of my visits in Thailand...“

“Teriyaki Madness never disappoints! Their chicken is incredibly juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection every time. The portions are generous, the ingredients taste fresh, and the sauces add just the right amount of sweetness and savoriness. Whether it’s the classic teriyaki bowl or a spicy option, everything is packed with bold, delicious flavors. The service is always friendly, and the food comes out fast, making it a great go-to spot for a satisfying meal. Highly recommend!“

“Our absolute favorite place!“

“Dublin is my favorite location for YGF malatang. Food is fresh with wonderful service. They have a great selection of items and they also offer ace king bbq. Love the waitress that works here. She is super nice and friendly. They offer Labubu drawing starting August and I got super lucky!!! I got Loyalty ❤️“

“I've been eating pho maybe over 30 years, this place is by far one of the best if not the best pho that I've eaten. The most important part of a good bowl of pho is the broth. You can taste the authentic ingredients from the broth. The meats are tender and delicious. The place is small but worth the wait if you had to wait. The service was courteous and quick. It is reasonable with the price and the quantity comparison. The only thing is that they serve limited items, but just go there eat pho and the sandwiches. You pay less with cash due to the CC fees.“

“Solid spot for some Chongqing style food. Everything I've had so far has been very fresh, quite flavourful, and generously portioned with reasonable prices. The ground pork dry noodles are my personal go-to favourite. As typical of Chongqing style food, the spice level really hits nicely! Service is polite and fairly quick. The restaurant is pretty well kept and clean as well. Definitely recommend checking this place out.“

“Visited here for lunch with family. We ordered Tom Yum soup, beer, pad kee mao veg and chicken, veg basil fried rice and egg plant stir fry. Service was very good. Soup was excellent. Fried rice and noodles were good too. Egg plant was very tasty.“

“The gentleman who took my order was so sweet and provided suggestions for food. The pork and rice was SO delicious. The pork was so juicy and seasoned so well. The Thai tea was sweet and perfect. The spring rolls, also so wonderful! First time here and I enjoyed it so much!“

“Pho Lan, a true family-run establishment in Fremont, delivers exactly what matters most in Vietnamese cuisine: spectacular, authentic flavor and generous value. While this isn't the spot for a luxurious, white-tablecloth experience, it is hands down the best place to find truly delicious pho and rice dishes in the area.

The primary reason to visit Pho Lan is the food, and they execute it flawlessly. The flavors here are deeply authentic, showcasing the care and tradition that only a family business dedicated to its craft can provide.

The Pho: The star of the show is, naturally, the pho. The broth is rich, complex, and clean—the hallmark of high-quality pho. It’s clear that the broth simmers for hours, resulting in a depth of flavor that many chain restaurants simply cannot replicate. Whether you choose a classic rare steak or brisket combination, the meat is fresh, and the portion size is substantial.

Beyond the Broth: While the pho is a must-try, the kitchen excels across the board. The rice dishes are equally noteworthy, featuring perfectly cooked meats and well-balanced marinades. If you're looking for Vietnamese food that tastes just like the dishes prepared in a traditional home, Pho Lan delivers.

Pho Lan offers excellent value. The portions are notably generous, ensuring you leave completely satisfied. In an age where many restaurants are shrinking servings, Pho Lan maintains a commitment to great portion size, making it a fantastic choice for lunch or dinner without breaking the bank.

It is important to manage expectations regarding the dining environment and service. As a dedicated, family-run operation, the entire focus is on efficiency and getting excellent food to your table quickly.

Ambiance & Service: This is not a restaurant built on trendy decor or overly solicitous service. The atmosphere is simple, casual, and functional. Service is efficient and straightforward, reflecting the priority of the kitchen over the front of house flair. If the quality of the food is your main metric, you will be thrilled. If you expect a high-end, polished dining experience, you might need to adjust your expectations. Pho Lan is an honest, no-frills location dedicated to its culinary mission.

Pho Lan is a Fremont treasure. It’s the kind of local spot that deserves strong community support because they consistently nail the most important element: the food.

For authentic flavors, generous portions, and truly delicious Vietnamese cuisine—from the masterful pho broth to the flavorful rice plates—Pho Lan is highly recommended. Come support this dedicated family business and enjoy some of the best Vietnamese food Fremont has to offer.

This was long due- will post pictures next time I visit them.“

“Very authentic Shanghainese style food. Spicy soup noodles can sure test your ability to stand hot food. Steamed and fried dumplings, and Xiao Long Bao are must-eat items. Appetizers like jellyfish and stewed spare rib chunks are highly recommended. Mr Song is the owner. He is ever friendly and efficient. This place is a rare find on East Bay.“

“The best food I’ve ever had in my life. It’s like they put voodoo magic in their food I just don’t understand how it’s that good. Just take all my money it’s fine. My favorites are the soup bao, honey walnut shrimp and orange chicken I could just freaken live off their soup bao“

“The environment is clean and comfortable, with a nice atmosphere. The service was excellent — the staff were friendly and attentive, and the food was served promptly. The dishes were delicious, the ingredients were fresh, and the portions were generous. Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely come back again!“

“This place definately needs more attention! They serve good food( healthy meal) specially in winters who wouldnot want souply and brothy noddles! .. they do have complimentary icrem and waffle parlour completely free.. the decor and the property is good“

“This is absolutely my favorite Pho place in Dublin (and maybe East Bay in general) — the moment you walk in, the aroma of the fragrant broth hits you like a truck.

Normally I don’t want pho at other Vietnamese restaurants (because I don’t like their pho so I typically get the rice plates), but the smell of the broth here is so good, I get it every time.

The other thing I like about this place is they have portion sizes: S, M, and L

This time, I got #24 M (which is chicken meat, slices of pork, fish cake, shrimp and rice noodle seeped in rich and velvety chicken & pork broth). It was delicious 😋 I already ate a few noodles and meat in the picture, but you can’t tell. 😆

The soup most likely has MSG— but as Uncle Roger says, that stands for make shi good.

Highly recommend coming here, esp on a cold winter day for some hearty warm soup for the soul 💖“

“Having enjoyed their dishes many times for months, It’s beyond “Very Satisfying”! Excellent, delicious food! Quality well maintained although it is a hard time under C-19. Hygiene suggestions n requests well followed! Thanks 🙏 Customer Service outstanding! Highly recommended 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“Great prices. Good/great flavors. Good/great service.
Everything we ordered was good. Chicken and duck is probably what they were best known for. The pork nuckle was soft but not super flavorful. The intestines were good.

“Pure good hongkonger canteen. Love it!“

“My new favorite spot! Everything we ordered was excellent and super fresh, fast and friendly service too!“

“This chain originates in Guangdong Province and has been in existence since 1981.

Limited menu featuring traditional Cantonese healthy favorites: rice noodle rolls, porridge/congee, curative herbal soups, and steamed rice/meat.

Great place for a clean healthy meal.“

“I’m an regular customer and I’ve been eating for an long time and the food in that place was quite fantastic and casual but enjoyable times 👍✨“

“Best jajang around“

“Best food ever great service been to all three highly recommended 😋5 star's definitely“

“I'm not exaggerating, but their cross-bridge rice noodle tastes even better than a lot of places in Yunnan, where the dish originates.
The owner (he's also the main chef I think) put so much effort into recreating the authentic flavor.
Let me give you an example. In Yunnan, the stem of a type of bulrush (建水草芽) is used in the broth. That of course is hard to find here, so they cleverly improvised and used asparagus instead, and it worked amazingly well.
Every sip of the broth brings back so much memories of my hometown.
But unsurprisingly they still can't defeat the curse of google map reviews: authentic international food never gets more than 4 stars 🤣“
