BE CAREFUL IF YOU HAVE ALLERGIES- THEY CROSS CONTAMINATE SHELLFISH WITH THEIR MEAT.

ordered chinese sausage springrolls- no listing of any shrimp or shellfish in the menu- asked what meat was in there and they said only the chinese sausage. my friend is deathly allergic to shrimp and after trying it he had to go outside and throw up everything. when i asked them why that would happen they kept lying.

be careful of what you eat here if you have any allergies.

I've tried a ton of pho places in the area, this one is great. Meat is good and portions are big. Even the small has tons of noodles. Broth isn't the best I've ever had but honestly I still come back, it's decent! But the meat and noodles are always perfect. Service is fast too.

Food is good and well marinated. They don’t have the combo like the other pho place for rice plate like with grill or egg so in that case it’s on the pricey side. Eggroll is good too. Will try the soup next time

I liked the old one, food taste was much better and the menu options were much more varied and appealing

I’d say more things if I could actually taste what I was eating. Silly me, I insisted on drowning my food in chilies. If it matters to your local garlic enthusiast, they have sate in the little metal pot, which you should use in place of Sriracha. It still contains chili though, so best avoid if you’re capsaicin intolerant. Their beansprouts are so beautiful I could cry. Or maybe that’s just the spiciness of my own handiwork. Can I get an ooooooops? Otherwise the broth is excellent once you skim off the spicy oil. All in all, I SURVIVED!

We have been coming to Pho Lyfe every week for the past 4 years. We loved walking across the street to have our Vietnamese food. My kids love to eat here. They always share a large pho ga. They recently moved to Sunnyvale in the dollar tree/mcdonalds/club Pilates shopping center. A little farther for us but we still love coming! The new location is really nice! The food is always consistent and the servers are always kind to us.

Coffee is 7 dollars and they give you a very small cup of coffee. 3oz demi cup 😭

Not authentic pho broth. Tastes like MSG. Not bones slow broiled for many hours. For that must head over to Pho 54, a no frills cafeteria style place BUT with real bone broth (gels in fridge) and tastes amazing with lots of fresh meat and veg. Passing on low quality, low effort pho places.

Stellar pho, really liked the chili oil on the side of the table with everything else you need. Had a great lemongrass chicken as well. Chicken was perfectly cooked with a little char. And great portions! Will be coming back!

The pho soup was watered down, as other reviews have mentioned. The meat also felt a little old and hard. Noodles were overcooked and too soft.

We also tried the spring rolls and they were mid.

The size is huge. I also extremely happy I can have the meat cooked rather than raw.

Taste and service were disappointing compared to price. I'd say 14 or 15$ make more sense for a large bowl.
