This is probably one of the best pho spots along the peninsula. This review is for a to-go order for the Pho Tai. The broth is perfectly light and not on the sweeter side like some other spots. The actual quality of the rare steak and other ingredients were really good. I highly recommend this spot if youre looking for a quick pho fix if you're near Redwood City. (Parking can be a little hard)

Very bad service yesterday. I was at that restaurant with my children. The lady at the register was very rude. I arrived at 6:45 pm and as soon as I arrived she told me they closed at 8 and that we shouldn't take too long to eat. I ordered my food twice, she took my order, served everyone except me, and my soup never arrived. I reminded her and she even got annoyed, telling me they would be closing soon. The waiter was very friendly, but she was very rude, even to her employee. I also noticed that she keeps the tips while the young man who serves and cleans the tables doesn't receive anything. Very bad service. I will never return to that dirty place with such terrible service.

Great food great prices. Be prepared to order with the numbers on the menu. Very great for a casual quality Vietnamese meal. Leagues better than Pho Ha Noi in Palo Alto

Had the chicken pho. Delish. Got the large and took home enough for a second meal. Zero complaints. It's always good, fast, and well priced.

Overall pretty forgettable. Hard to find street parking along Middlefield Road. Dining area was clean, but dimly lit and air conditioning wasn’t really working. I liked the individually wrapped chopsticks and the soup spoon ladles were porcelain, not melamin plastic. Pho noodle portion was generous. A little skimpy on protein for the dac biet special pho. I usually finish the broth, but it was so bland it tasted like beef broth from a can with some salt. Where are the favor hints of star anise or cinnamon and other ingredients? Also like another reviewer mentioned where are the mint leaves? Barely enough bean sprouts. First and last time I eat here.

Pho is sub-par. Have ordered from here twice & Pho does NOT come with mint leaves, which is blasphemy.
Shrimp spring rolls were good.

Sad place; lukewarm Pho. Very limited in the protein. Broth is not tasteful like some other places thae broth is the main ingredient, must be excellent. Not a place to go back a 2nd time.

I do not recommend this restaurant. The pho was mid and the service was abysmal. Our server was friendly but no one noticed us standing there waiting for a table for far too long and the owner was one of the people ignoring/not noticing us.

It was amazing! I was a bit skeptical because they didn’t seem to be any people eating, but when we did get served with the food and drinks, it was amazing. I would recommend this to anybody who is looking for a good noodle soup.

A chicken soup and a shrimp spring roll for more than $32???
I didn't check the price on the menu as I'm concerned about spending but $32 for lunch is way too much in addition the shrimps tasted spoiled and the chicken was very dry.
not going back to this place or recommending to my friends, what a rip off.
the lady even tried to make me pay $2 for the peanut sauce for the roll. what a scam.

The Pho here is flavorful and delicious. I enjoy all the food and they always have the delicious plum sauce and peanut sauce my favorite.
