I ordered the 3 item beef choice. Along with spring rolls and a iced coffee.The soup choices of beef were wrong. I requested rare. Well done flank with beef balls. The majority of the soup was tendon and a couple of pieces of meat.Bill was $30+Addressed it after paying.I was starving...He told me they would hace changed it if I would have asked. I was pressed for time I explained.Nonetheless.Will try somewhere else when Im in town next time craving pho and spring rolls.

This used to be 100% our place to go! In the last year it's the last place we want to go. The broth tastes like they ran a chicken bone thru hot water, they want to argue with you when you order all white meat in the pho soup and give you dark meat. Then the server says the cook needs a job when we ask why they can't get it right. What a joke!

Was looking for a pho spot close to home and stumbled upon this place for early dinner. We ordered the spring rolls, Thai iced teas and large sizes of pho. I had enough left over to take home.We were able to get seated right away. Service was fast! We’ll definitely return!

My favorite spot to get my Pho fix. The broth is very good and flavorful. I have tried different of their options for Pho and they all taste great. Beyond the food which is good, I also love coming here because the service is always excellent.

My parents went here yesterday and they just loved the chicken noodle soup and the waitress was very kind and loaned my father some scissors to cut his chicken because he had just had some dental work done so shout out to taste of pho staff!!! my dad is 91 and he has had many pho soup’s before, but he said this one was the best!!

I ordered take out. Pork chops with noodles & shrimp and another dish that was supposed to be rice and something else. Also, chicken soup. Everything was obviously cooked at an earlier date and packed in to go containers. Noodles were extremely over cooked and, were smashed together in clumps! There were a few small shrimps that were like rubber! The soup was a container with nothing but broth with a one inch piece of onion floating in it!This order was so terrible that I just threw it out! I threw out my $35 as well by going to this awful excuse for a restaurant! I will NEVER go there EVER again! This place is an embarrassment to Vietnamese food!This business won’t last Long with terrible pre cooked stale food being served to customers!

Went here on a weekday and ordered the charbroiled pork chop over rice and this was the driest pork chop I have ever tasted. Suffice to say I did not finish it and resorted to eating the rice by itself.

Taste horrible, food was not fresh at all!, the onions looked like they dropped and put it back in

Very very good pho! Best pho in Bay Area! And the Thai tea is surprisingly good! Crispy Shrimp Cakes is great!

So I decided to take the risk and tried their Vietnamese coffee. The coffee was absolutely dogshit. Reminded me of Starbucks where they fill the drink with all ice and no coffee. I asked them to refill it up and change it with light ice but the guy was cheap and didn't give me and more coffee. If they act like this with their drinks I can't imagine what's it like with their food. Don't go here. There's plenty of other pho restaurants around the area that has better reviews. Hope this helps whoever is reading this take care. First impressions make a difference!!! they forget that customer is king.

Tasty, fast service, and good portions! Very friendly. Not crowded on a Saturday at noon. My little kids loved it and the friendly server man with tattoos. There were a few families with young children though they were all spread out and well behaved.

Located in a small plaza with plenty of parking and seating inside. Our waiter was very friendly and even offered us some recommendations when he heard us overtalking about what to order. I ordered the macaroni with beef, other people in my group got the pho and bun rieu. My beef dish was one of the most tender beef I've had anywhere and cooked medium rare, which is exactly how I like it. Also came with a lot of sauce from the marinade that made the dish more flavorful! Everyone in my group was satisfied with their entrees and left full. I'd like to try the bun bo hue and Viet coffee next time I come here.

Was in the mood for Vietnamese food and I've never been here so I thought I would give it a try. The restaurant is located in a small plaza but there is plenty of parking. The restaurant is a lot bigger then I expected there was a lot of seating. I went on Friday around 6pm and there was only 1 other person there. We ordered the Shaking Beef with Red Rice and a Beef Pho. We also ordered extra noodles for the pho for an extra $3. The extra noodles came out in a separate bowl with broth which was perfect because we got the extra noodles so we could share. The extra noodles were definitely worth because they gave us practically a whole serving portion. The beef pho was pretty good. The broth was okay and the noodles were thinner than usual, but I like it that way. The shaking beef was good. Very flavourful and nicely cooked. The red rice was really good as well. I would definitely recommend the shaking beef the most. The service was fast but the worker was mostly just on his phone the whole time. The restaurant also didn't seem very sanitary and there were flies everywhere which was a little uncomfortable because I was constantly waving flies off our food. Overall the food was okay but I probably wouldn't come here again because I know they're a lot of better options and the unsanitaryness made us uncomfortable. But if you are nearby and want some vietnamese food then it's not a bad option.
