“Been coming to here for years. The pho soups, all the vermicelli, the rice plates, the appetizers, and the beverages are always amazing. I am so happy this place is still here till this day.
The broth is always so good in their soups.“

“Food is good but the lady who serves the food and who is at the cash counter doesn’t seems to care much. The lady who cleans the table smiles and talks in polite manner. The restaurant has a plenty of sitting capacity and it’s like L shape, so you have to walk to other side to pay at counter. If they improve the service and the payment method then it think it has a potential to do very good business.“

“Excellent, fast service. Delicious, filling (vegan!) Veggie noodle soup with Tofu and house made spicy sauce. More vegan options available that I will definitely come back for including Banh Mi and Vermicelli 😋
Vegetarian options: They offer Vegan Spring Rolls, Vegan Veggie Noodle Soup, Vegan Tofu Vermicelli, and Vegan Banh Mi options. The house made sauces are vegan too!“

“Pho was great! Order was ready quickly compared to another spot I had tried to order from. I love having the option to select beef broth with my veggie pho! The soft fried tofu in the veggie pho was so good!! The grilled shrimp and pork spring rolls were delish too! Will definitely be back - nice to have so close to my home!“

“With prices going up, this is still a local staple at 6 something a sandwich. He packs my Bacon Bahn Mi with a good amount of meat! No cutting corners here :)
When I used to work in the area, I'd get their lunch plates they have wrapped up in the open fridge. Viet BBQ Chicken, Fried Egg Roll, and rice noodles are my go-to.
They also serve noodle soup, which a friend of mine way back said tasted like her mom's, very good; Chicken Pho.
Parking: If lot is filled there's always plenty of street parking“

“Can’t decide between egg rolls or spring rolls? Enter the Cha Gio Cuon…egg roll in spring roll. GENIUS! My companions had the chicken soup and fish banh mi, both also excellent. Their broth is super flavorful and the price is right. Owner and crew are very attentive.
The restaurant is beautiful with modern murals of Bay Area life, but eating near sundown was quite unpleasant in almost all tables due to west facing sun. Simple drapes/blinds would help.“

“I went here after work! I was famished! I was so happy w how cute their decorations are! The music was lovely! Sauces chili oil so good! And i cant believe they have Banh Khot! As its a bit labor intensive. Ive only had it at Tayho. Well this is their mamas recipe! Its a crispy coconut crepe w shrimp. They gave me fancy butter lettuce shiso and mint wraps for each one! I feel so pampered! Its now my favorite order! Noodle soup too is perfect for winter rainy days. Parking is a lot and super convenient location! Thx so much for feeding this famished lady. ?

“Holy Basil is one of our absolute favorite places to get delivery from in the Bay Area. Our kids are addicted to the bao buns and garlic noodles. I'm obsessed with the tofu vermicelli. Nothing is cozier on a cold day than their Chili Lemongrass soup. Nothing is more refreshing on a hot day than their fresh rolls and ginger lemonade. We love Holy Basil food!“

“So good! Found this spot when I was in the Town and craving a banh mi. I ordered the combo and a bbq pork. Both did not disappoint. Tastes super fresh - meat, veggies and bread were on par with b mi’s in SJ. I hope they continue to make amazing food like this. As long as they do, I will be a frequent customer. The East Bay needs more delicious Viet spots like this.“

“Love a good banh mi that comes from inside a market deli. We came for a sandwich and wanted so much more. Lots of choices from the hot bar made us want to come back.
We got two banh mi’s on this visit and a couple spam musubis. So good.“

“Super cute spot with great service and great food! The waiters were attentive and made sure we had everything we needed multiple times. The restaurant stays on-theme throughout the establishment which is always fun! I even saw them give the family next to us some monster balloons for the kids. Pho broth was sweet and noodles were delicious. I would definitely come back :)“

“Staying at the Claremont this week, found this little hidden gem and it is amazing. I call it hidden because even though I could see it on the map I'm bad at navigation and had a hard time finding it.
I only got the original sandwich as I have never had one before. It was absolutely amazing and I hope to stop by again before leaving. Their menu prices seem unheard of in this area and they were slammed busy when I went for lunch. They did move fast though.“

“I went to Kim’s Cafe and Sandwiches for the first time yesterday and had their Turmeric Noodle Soup. It was one of the best soups I’ve ever had, and I can’t wait to go back. Customer service was great and there were many open tables available. Thank you!“

“Pho Huong Que serves up a comforting, well-balanced bowl of pho with rich broth, tender meat, and fresh herbs—everything you’d want from a no-frills Vietnamese spot. The flavors are clean and satisfying, and the portions are generous without being overwhelming.
What makes this place stand out even more is the convenience of on-site parking—a huge plus in a neighborhood that can feel a bit rough around the edges. Despite the surrounding area, the restaurant itself feels safe, clean, and welcoming inside.
Service is quick and efficient, and prices are fair for the quality. It’s not a fancy spot, but it doesn’t need to be. When you’re craving a warm, honest bowl of pho, this place hits the spot.“

“The Vietnamese spring rolls with shrimp are the best I’ve ever had! The shrimp taste incredibly fresh, and the vermicelli noodles perfectly complement the other flavors without overwhelming them. The peanut sauce has an ideal consistency that makes dipping effortless and delicious.
I also LOVE the shrimp salad!!!“

“This place is so good, I’ve had the beef pho twice and it’s hits every time. Truly so good. The gentleman at the front welcomes everyone and is very nice. Extremely fast service. You should take your friends and coworkers here for lunch :-)“

“The food here is great. But, I've reached the limit on what my pocketbook can Justify for a bowl of broth. I started going here pre-pandemic, but since then the cost has increased twice. The cost is almost double what it was. I had the small seafood pho with tip was 23.00. Really not a lot of seafood either to justify it. Go, enjoy your meal. But expect to pay more then you would expect.“

“One of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants! Great food, great service. Totally clean and good place to eat, not really a place for "atmosphere" but you wouldn't expect it to be. Get the combo rice plate with the pork hop and shrimp cake!“
“I have been dining at the original Crustaceans restaurant for over 30 years. From 1st dates to special celebrations and more. I was SHOCKED when it closed. Then I was delighted and wowed by this new Crustacean restaurant. Improved menu, with the traditional classic world famous Roasted Crab & Garlic Noodles. This new spot is the NEXT LEVEL of opulence and enjoyment. I look forward to at least 30 more years of loyal patronage. My only dig is they have no loyalty program that rewards loyal customers like me who have introduced hundreds of new customers to the restaurant over the years. WHERE IS THE LOVE? I should get some type of recognition 🤔 😌 LOL“

“Step right up, order and pay first, menu on the wall - fast service, delicious, fresh ingredients, Spring rolls and egg rolls done just right - the meat is marinated and sweetened and perfectly grilled, the pickled carrots, green onion, daikon are all still fresh and nicely rice vinegared. Great lunch place, we'll be back to try the Banh Mi next!“

“There is a reason they sell out early everyday! Really delicious grilled pork, chicken or combo bahn mi. The fresh baguette is my favorite part. There is something about it that makes the sandwich taste even better than other places.
Great value. $6 per bahn mi. If you buy 4 sandwiches, you get a $2 discount. My favorite bahn mis!“

“This was my first visit, and since it was a rainy day, I decided to try their pho. There’s something comforting about a warm bowl of soup on a cold, wet day. The soup had a rich, deep flavor that was enjoyable, but not remarkable. For comparison, my favorite pho spot is still Pho Vi Hoa in Palo Alto, which I feel has more balanced and complex flavors.
Ordering here was straightforward. You place your order at the counter, and the staff delivers your food to the table. The service was efficient and friendly, which added to the overall experience.
For starters, I ordered A2: Fresh Shrimp Spring Rolls. They were fresh, light, and paired well with the accompanying peanut dipping sauce. As for the main dish, I went with the Rare Steak Pho, adding extra noodles for $2. While the broth and rare steak were satisfying, I realized the portion of noodles was already quite generous without the extra. If you’re someone with a hearty appetite, you’ll likely find the regular portion sufficient.
Next time, I’ll skip the extra noodles and focus on the base dish. It’s a solid spot for a comforting bowl of pho, but I’d still rank it below my go-to pho spot in Palo Alto.“

“My parents go regularly to this restaurant for breakfast, and every time I’ve been available I also go with them. Their pho broth is delicious without anything added, and they give you a healthy side of greens to make the dish even better. My dad religiously gets the bun bo hue and nothing else. The staff are very nice and service quick. Highly recommend!“

“This place is absolutely phenomenal! I got the chicken pho, which had a marinated chicken option. Soup broth was very tasty. My husband got the banh mi combo, which comes with a broth soup and an imperial roll. They also have a nice juicer and makes refreshing fruit/veggie juices to round the meal out. I got the Refresher juice which has cucumber, Apple, mint. Service was great too! A lot of natural light in the restaurant. Good vibes.“

“They have great asian food, I’m chinese-american and find it very comforting. I got the mapo tofu this time but I also like their eggplant tofu. The service is great, they are super friendly and even gave me a free tea egg today. You can join their wechat group chat to receive updates on daily specials, etc.“

“Great neighborhood Vietnamese Food. I had the BBQ pork plate and was impressed by the quality, however I felt that the portion size was a little on the smaller end.
The atmosphere feels like an old school hole in the wall Vietnamese restaurant.
Would recommend !

“I’ve visited Co Nam twice so far and really enjoyed both experiences. The food is excellent, with some uniquely creative dishes. I’ve never had ribs covered in sesame seeds before, and they were surprisingly delicious. The curry is a personal favorite.
I also appreciated the great conversation with Daniel, the bartender, who’s incredibly knowledgeable about a wide range of drinks.
I’d definitely go again!“

“Can't rly give atmosphere 5 stars because it's takeout only but the wife and I love this place! Banh mi is excellent, as are the bowls of whatever. I don't think there's anything the owner chef woman can't make well. She used to run 3 restaurants! Also she is an angel. Go there for the owner chef woman if nothing else. Also egg rolls and crab rangoon are yummy.

“Super delicious!
Quick service!
Very stuffy and humid as expected.
We came here for our lunch break hour and were delighted by our meals.
Ordered the large bun bo hue and medium pho dac biet. The large was very generous and filling. Both broths were tasty and and mostly balanced. We felt the food was fairly priced. This was my first time trying Huyet/blood cake and was surprised I liked it. Wasn't gelatinous like I thought. Their tripe is SUPER good. It had flavor instead of just being there for texture, and it vaguely reminded me of menudo.
Also ordered a sugarcane juice and ice thai tea. Both were super delicious and fresh. Definitely worth noting that they fill the entire cup with ice and poured the beverages below ice level which is something you might not expect for $6
They had great condiment options at the table but definitely need to clean then as they were super dirty.
There was a rush that came I'm around 1PM which makes sense because the food is great. Definitely will be coming back to try some more!“

“Great lunch spot if you work in the financial district. It's everything you'd expect from an Asian mom and pop shop. Quick, delicious, decently priced food. Even during the lunch rush you're able to be seated and served quickly as long as you don't mind sitting with other single diners.
To those complaining about the service, it's clearly not a fine dining restaurant, so y'all should keep your expectations down and you'll be good.“

“We visited Pho 1 Express for dinner and ordered the Bun Bo Hue (T2), Combo Rice Plate (#35), and a Mango Smoothie with boba. The Bun Bo Hue was decent but lacked the bold flavor I was expecting. I’ll likely try a different dish next time. The Combo Rice Plate was enjoyable—our guest liked it a lot. The Mango Smoothie, however, tasted like it might have been made with canned ingredients, so I wouldn’t order it again. Overall, the food was good, and the dining experience was pleasant.“

“THE BEST PHO AND SERVICE HANDS DOWN! Born and raised out here, been to all the pho spots and we have a-lot of good ones but this one is my favorite. Once a week two #19s is what gets me through the week haha. Great portion and high quality meat always. Thank you Pho Mekong!!“

“Tigon is excellent, above par, a hidden gem on San Pablo. I've probably been here 5-6 times now with my fiance. She gets the same thing every time: Catfish Sweet and Sour Soup and she swears it gets better every single time. On the other hand, I try something new every time because each dish I've had has been better than the last. Catfish Claypot, Pho, and Papaya Salad are all big hitters.“

“No-frills, small pho shop that offers quality noodles and fast service. They have reasonable prices for the area ($17 per bowl) and usually plenty of seating.
The downside is they don't provide glasses of water and instead give you water bottles if you ask for water.
Very friendly and attentive staff.“

“Such friendly service! Store was also very clean and able to accommodate a family of 8 next to us. Lunch time was busy but everyone seemed to have a seat on Friday.
I love how they play Vietnamese music instead of just American pop.
I’ve been to Hanoi before and felt the Bun Cha Hanoi dish was similar taste to what I had in Vietnam. I’m not Vietnamese but I felt it was delicious!“

“Circling back even though I’ve reviewed before, but just had the pork banh mi, banh mi thit nuong. This might be one of the best banh mi I’ve ever had. Perfectly crispy french roll, and the pork was tender and juicy with a nice sauce to complement. Very reasonable pricing too, although I normally get pho here I will certainly get a banh mi again!“
