Their food is amazing but the waitress who served us is racist to non asian ppl. As soon as we arrived, our waitress immediately looked upset as she started to serve us. Kept sighing whenever we said our orders, and wouldnt let us finish talking, like she kept interrupting us so I had to repeat myself again a few times because she just kept interrupting then she kept sighing. She wasn't even busy at all, she had like 2 other tables and they all had their own food already. And I looked, and whenever she checked on her other tables, she was super nice to them then when she turned around to check on us, she immediately frowned. Also I asked for some smoothies like the durian and mango, and she said theres no more. Then while we were eating, I saw another asian customer walking up to them to ask some smoothies for to go, he ordered 4 durians and they immediately sold him some. I always gone to that pho place like few times every year and never had a problem with this until that time. I really think they should keep an eye out on their waitresses more, thats all im suggesting.

Big portions, lots of meat. Beef broth is so good. Would come again.

Pho Y #1 Noodle House is a straightforward pho spot, focusing on traditional beef noodle soup with rich, slow-simmered broth. The Pho Dac Biet (special beef pho) is a standout, featuring tender cuts of brisket, flank, and meatballs.
Service is efficient, making it a reliable choice for a quick meal. The restaurant’s interior is simple, with limited seating during peak hours. While the menu is focused solely on pho, the quality and consistency make it a dependable spot for Vietnamese noodle soup lovers

Haven't been back here for a long time. Very bad customer service this time. The lady took the order giving us the attitude like we're begging for free foods; so bad.

These colder winter nights always make me crave Pho. Last couple of places I’ve ordered from haven’t been great so I was very surprised with this place.
I ordered chicken pho from Pho Y for delivery, and it was ridiculously good! The portions were big, with plenty of chicken compared to the noodles and broth. It’s hard to find pho with such a good balance, but they got it just right.
Even though it was a delivery order, everything tasted super fresh and delicious. The broth was rich, the noodles were perfect, and the chicken was tender and flavorful. I was really impressed with how much food came and how well it was all packaged.
This is some of the best chicken pho I’ve had in a long time, and I’ll definitely be ordering again!

Broth is honestly mid, there’s flavor but I added lots of hoisin and siracha and it was still meh. Amount of meat is fine and they package well. I most likely won’t go back, maybe it tastes different when you dine in?
Regular there, go almost, if not weekly. Fair prices (cash only), reasonable portions for the price! Pho Ga (chicken #17) is my regular, and it always hits.
Fresh basil and lots of bean sprouts included. The broth is so flavorful! Sometimes I get the Spring Rolls as well, and they are also fresh and crunchy.
Additionally, the service is consistent and very fast. I usually receive my food within ~5 minutes of sitting down. No frills dining, including no music playing, which provides a calm, peaceful atmosphere to eat and converse.
Hidden Gem!

Very good chicken pho and nice service. The broth was excellent. I’d note that the menu says leg meat, but they served breast (which btw was very good).

an OG pho restaurant so I gotta respect it ? But there’s some better pho places, tastier and with bigger bowls…
Parking: That plaza is not the best… looks a little dirty and I see sketchy people from time to time.
