This place opens for 3 hours at lunchtime, and offers at most 4 dishes. I cannot understand how they can mess up an order so often. You cannot rely that they will have the items on the menu, even if you order in advance. Be prepared to ask for a refund and look for lunch somewhere else if you get unlucky. The food is fine, but it's not extraordinary, and so it matches the prices, which are ok but not fantastic.

As of 2022, go to Bytes Cafe instead.

Raised their prices and consistently running out of Pho before noon!

Convenience for the location, but the food quality has dropped greatly in just the last month. Also, drink prices can be really expensive as well. The pastries, bagels, muffins, etc. are prepackaged unlike their direct competitor across the way from them.

-1 for price HIKES by >30%; -1 for small portion size; -1 for giving me stomach pain; -1 for being over crowded; +1 for the good old days of lunch buffet; Goodbye!

Food not bad. But staff is rude and insulting.Got there at 11 when they open. I need to eat and be done before 1130 to get back to work. I grabbed a refill on my soda on the way out and no matter what I said this rude lady, she insisted I was not a paying customer and stole a soda lol. Like lady If being rude and insulting is your thing. I probably make in a days work close to your best week. I don’t need to steal your 1.50 fountain soda.

Very good had a bowl of ? pho. Was tasty. I wasn't planning to buy any food today, packed a lunch. There are two all gender bathrooms. There is an added to your pho bar $0.62 an ounce. Soup came fast, Wasn't crowded yet. I got there a little after 11. Getting crowded now. All in all a good experience a little over eight bucks out the door.

I visited this cafe when on the Stanford campus for a business trip. As a vegetarian, the tofu pho noodle soup was delicious and the price reasonable ($7.75). There were other options at this cafe as well. I'd come back in the future.

The prices are ridiculously high considering that their main customers are students. For example, what would normally be a $2 Odwalla protein shake cost ~$6 here. Also, I order a vegan tofu pho and it appeared to have meat bits in the bottom. I have always been unhappy with this establishment, and I eagerly await a different vendor to replace it.

Beef pho is decent and quick.
