Business is super good, it’s best to come in and line up as soon as it opens to get a seat. But I think the taste is very ordinary, not as delicious as expected.

First time visit , we chose the San Mateo location . You can join a wait list online which allowed us to enjoy no more than a 5 minutes wait before being seated.The service was friendly and efficient. We ordered the Mix appetizers , perfect for a party of four. We shared the shaken beef , the 5 spices chicken with garlic noodles and we had leftovers to take home. The food was delicious. Highly recommend the lychee frozen coconut drink to pair with the sweet and tangy flavors.
Amazing Vietnamese food. There will be a wait during dinner so try to get there early if possible. The food came out quickly once seated.The pho broth was rich especially with the bone marrow. Recommend the pig out

#六嬬 Tandian Overall 3/5?Is it considered an internet celebrity restaurant? The plate is quite big and the portions are pretty good. Maybe the photos will look better? But the taste is just so-so. It’s a no-brainer. If you can’t wait for a table, you can try it. There’s no need to wait for a table.The environment is quite crowded and the overall table turnover is fast. It is not suitable for gatherings and chatting. It is okay to have a light meal, but there is no need to wait for a table to have a light meal, so I can't find a reason to come back a second time.In addition, Liu Nuo has a sensitive stomach. Maybe the quality of the meat products is average or the fat content is high. She has nausea after eating.

Delicious, fresh food with great service. The pork ribs & coconut rice were amazing ! The menu is a little cumbersome to navigate since they are divided into different web pages if it's your first time. Everything was amazing.

This place serves the best pho I've ever tasted. Whenever I came to the bay area, I would drop by this place. The service was fine and ambiance was good. One thing that I thought could be improved was that the pho was not really hot this time round, so the noodle was not cooked perfectly and the rare beef was not fully cooked, but other than these small issues, the bowl of pho was very good, the beef was very tender and tasty and the scallops appetizer was very delicious.

My wife and I have been eager to visit this establishment ever since we came across a post about it on Instagram. We finally had the opportunity to dine there on a Saturday for a belated Valentine's Day celebration. Upon our arrival approximately 20 minutes after opening, we found the restaurant to be already at full capacity. Consequently, we had to wait for approximately 30 minutes to be seated. During this waiting period, we observed a continuous flow of food being served from the kitchen, accompanied by tantalizing aromas that heightened our anticipation.Once we were seated, water was promptly provided for my wife and our son, who unexpectedly joined us for the date. We proceeded to place our order, selecting the pork belly dish and the Gaozilla. Regarding our beverage choices, we opted for the Peachee Way, specifically the small bowl serving, rather than the single drink option. I had to clarify the specific drink I was referring to, as the waiter initially expressed unfamiliarity with the name. He then confirmed my request for the smaller size of the beverage.The pork belly was served promptly within 5 to 10 minutes. The meat was tender, and the skin was crispy, providing an exceptional culinary experience. The accompanying dipping sauce perfectly complemented the richness of the pork.Subsequently, the Gaozilla arrived, exceeding expectations. Its impressive size matched the enticing visuals depicted in promotional materials. Our son promptly identified the meat and expressed a desire for it. We proceeded to partake in the noodles, meat, and broth from the main bowl, finding the bone marrow particularly delectable. The top layer exhibited a delightful crispiness, adding an appealing textural element. The meat was expertly cooked to a near-perfect medium, with a slight hint of overdoneness. Nevertheless, the flavor was remarkable, and the meat retained its succulence.As we savored the meal, we noticed the absence of the accompanying drink. Approximately 5 minutes later, a single drink cup was presented, prompting us to clarify that we had requested the small bowl. The staff promptly apologized and rectified the error, presenting us with the desired small bowl. The drink proved to be a delightful accompaniment, reminiscent of a refreshing horchata beverage, without being excessively strong.In conclusion, the overall experience and quality of the food were highly satisfactory. The sole minor inconvenience encountered was the initial oversight regarding the drink order. It is advisable to arrive early, as the establishment does not accept advance reservations. The wait is undoubtedly worthwhile, and I eagerly anticipate a return visit.

The menu is extensive and creative - yes. But the quality is subpar. we ordered the BeNe and Mama's Clay pot. The Be Ne did not fill the whole plate as advertised on the menu. the biggest shock was the freshness of the sausage and the fish in Clay Pot were... sticky. I had a friend who cooks a lot to try it just to make sure I wasn't tripping over nothing. She confirmed the smell was suspicious - not quality meat and/or wasn't stored right. Wow, I had high hopes after seeing the good reviews and pics but was ultimately bummed out by the experience. Service was fast. Limited seating.

My friend and I decided to give this place a try on a weekday, hoping that it wouldn't be as busy, but we were clearly mistaken. When we got their, we had to put our name down on their waitlist. It took us about 25-30 minutes to get seated (party of 2).The restaurant has a casual and friendly atmosphere, and the staff is very attentive.My friend and I had already snacked a bit while we were waiting, so we decided to get pho because of the cold, rainy weather.He got "the big gao pho," and I tried their "5 spice pho."The big gao pho comes with big beef short rib, filet mignon, marrow, onion, and 24-hour broth. The meat was very well cooked and slid right off the bone. The deep, savory flavor of pho broth and the rich, aromatic steam rising from the broth instantly created a sense of cozy warmth.The 5 spice pho comes with a full bone-in baked chicken quarter, quick on the grill, marinated in lemon grass & rich herb sauce. It is served with a separate bowl of pho, with broth simmered for 24 hours, using fresh flat noodles, added greens, spring onions & marrow to add richness & creaminess to the broth. The noodles were very soft, and I liked it quite a bit, but if you like firm noodles, then you may want to get something else.Overall, it was a good experience
