Good overall was delicious, and service was good, the woman is very friendly. They can get very busy and the kitchen backed up at times
Wei-Ai Tai
Basic, no-frills Vietnamese restaurant in downtown San Mateo. Pho soup was a bit watered-down, and the noodles stuck together and tasted like it had just been defrosted. Spring rolls were decent, and the dipping sauce was good. Fast and friendly service. Located near the train tracks, so street parking could be hard to find.

It’s a little crowded even though it’s 4pm on Thursday—many takeout orders. Very authentic Vietnamese I think. Their Vietnamese fresh spring roll was awesome 👏 Would like to visit again to try other foods. The tricky part is no parking around the place. You need to find a public street parking.

The X-Large Pho Xe Lua was a perfect size for two adults and it was absolutely delicious! We also ordered two Bánh Mì for lunch tomorrow. This restaurant has fantastic service and fair prices. We'll definitely be back. Thank you!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The pho here was very bad. There was no lime, so they gave us lemon (?!) to garnish. Worst of all, they added an extra $2.55 to the tip, expecting I wouldn’t notice.

The food here is very delicious, the service is very good
We dine here on a Sunday. So we expect it would be busy but it was almost packed. The staff was very busy but still kept it professional and accommodated us with a smile! Thank you for a wonderful meal! The Garlic Noodle beef is a must try!

Nice staff, food was ok. Most of the “fresh” lettuce and things were not looking super fresh and I had to pick around some rotten spots. The “Young Coconut” is not really a real coconut. It’s from a can and has added cane sugar. Had to send it back.

Man o man. We’ve been here a few times and every time I tell myself not to come back again. This time I’m making a review so I’ll never go there again.
The pho isn’t bad, that’s why we come back, but everything else is terrible, and that’s enough not to go again.
- The light fixtures and plastic curtains are black from not being cleaned. - The people who work there are miiiiiiiiserable and rude! - Every thing is dirty and sticky - yuck. - The high chair is effin disgusting. I had our baby just sit on a chair. - The chairs are wobbly and ripped.
Everything being dirty is enough for me. If that’s what it looks like where we can see, just imagine the places we don’t see like the kitchen! Yucky.
