“Best Pho in town!

It's been hard for us to find many restaurants that we love since moving here a couple years ago. But theres something athentic about this spot, from the family running the place to the little plastic spoon in the hot sauce.

We get the large #1 pho and share for two people. Summer rolls are yummy. And we haven't really seen fit to order much else. Pull into the tight little parking lot, walk in and get steered to a booth, where the owner will take your order. And next thing you know you're quickly served a piping hot bowl of delicious pho. Add the sides of your choice (no sprouts, a bunch of basil, and a dollop of that hot sauce does me right).

When you're done, walk up to the register and settle up. It's a no frills, but perfectly tailored experience.“

“Friendly owner & employees. Clean & quiet“

“Standard pho was good. I don't know why the noodles just seemed excellent. Three types of good sri racha on the table. Great selection of beer and wine and coffee and tea. Waiter didn't know the alphanumeric codes for the dishes, but that was okay. Nice clean bathroom and friendly service.“

“I’ve been a loyal customer here since I was 14 years old. In the past few years, I’ve become quite particular about my dietary needs. On some days, the team has gone above and beyond to accommodate me. They even prepared a rare steak bowl with vegetables and steamed sprouts for me to savor the delicious broth. I’m almost in tears of joy right now.“

“Food is very good. Banh Mi sandwich is warm and soft on the inside, crunchy on the outside. Contents are flavored nicely. Chicken salad pretty good. Soups pretty good. Service is very weak. Had to walk up to the counter to ask for some sauces, which were promised but never delivered. An ordered item didn't get entered or delivered. Setting is nice but furniture is falling apart - chair felt like it was going to fail. I may go back, but it could be better.“

“The service was great along with the explanations of our Pho choices.“

“This is a great place to have lunch/ dinner. Very good food, clean and nice spot.“

“Love their food,just need to be more attentive to their customers“

“This is my Vietnamese place (favorite) to go! Food is delicious!
I always order the #16 (pho) my son fried rice/shrimp and spring rolls
I like how nice they’re as well, they have people who speak spanish as well
I have been coming here since 2014 and I hope to be able to never stop coming to enjoy this amazing tasty food“

“Great little pho place that is hidden on the side of a strip mall near Outdoor Supply Hardware.

Pho is very tasty (our favorite is #3 with steak and lean brisket). Service is friendly. Portions are generous. Pricing is fair.

Come check it out!“

“I like the ambience and enjoy the cuisine. Bring back lots is nostalgia!“

“Big Bites is one of those rare spots that just gets it right. Both my daughter and I love the food here. Everything feels fresh, bright, and clean, from the flavors to the presentation.

Our go-to favorites are the chicken and veggie pho and the banh mi. The ingredients taste vibrant and thoughtfully prepared, and you can tell real care goes into every dish. I am especially looking forward to trying the curry next.

Beyond the food, the service is genuinely warm and friendly. You feel welcomed the moment you walk in, and that makes a big difference.

Highly recommend Big Bites if you are looking for fresh, comforting food made with heart.“

“Fast friendly service and delicious food“

“I ate Vietnamese no. 11 oakstaila d beef balls this morning. yummy“

“Healthy options Good price“

“As a Vietnamese person, I can say the pho here tastes very authentic. The broth is flavorful, the ingredients are fresh, and the portions are generous. Friendly service and great value. Definitely one of the better pho spots in the area! 🇻🇳🍜“

“Pretty good veggie pho. I think the spring rolls were my favorite though.

Great service in a clean, comfortable space. The location is convenient and it was easy to find parking. I mean, what more could I ask for after a long day?“

“A Vietnamese kitchen in the Marlin Cove center in Foster City, open seven days, ten to twenty dollars a head. The pho is the base order, and the bun bo hue, the crispy egg rolls, and the grilled pork plates fill out the rest of the menu. The fresh fruit smoothies are worth adding, soursop and avocado among them. Thank you for feeding the neighborhood. Five stars.“

“I just ordered food through DoorDash, so I can’t address the restaurant’s atmosphere, but o will say that the order came really quickly, and the Pho was absolutely delicious…maybe the best we’ve ever had! I’m really looking forward to trying additional dishes from Mays Vietnamese!“

“I’ve been here before and it’s so good, in my humble opinion. You can also see “Ryder park” if you take the long way around, and go to the one in foster city. My mom used to work here. Don’t harm anyone, especially immigrant women! Or else, you’ll have to watch out for “la llorona” and “Bloody Mary” and other “venenas” according to the hbo max tv show. Not everyone is gonna be nice like the “los espookys” people. I don’t even know what “fantasmas” is about, because I haven’t watched it yet.“

“Miss Subi is an absolute gem! The food is incredibly fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish feels thoughtfully crafted with a perfect balance of taste and quality ingredients. The ambiance is cozy and stylish, making it a great place to unwind and enjoy a delicious meal. The staff are welcoming, attentive, and truly enhance the overall experience. If you’re looking for amazing food and great vibes, Miss Subi is definitely a must-visit!“

“The restaurant was pretty quiet when I walked in. I was greeted upon entry and told to sit anywhere I’d like. I ordered with the server, but if I wanted to be left alone, I had the option to order and pay using the QR code on the table.

My chicken pho was yummy! The broth was flavorful without being too salty. The portion was large, including the amount of meat I got. My only critique is that I wish I got more vermicelli noodles, but my full stomach is happy I didn’t eat any more than I did.“

“Food was very good, this was my first time eating a Bahn mi sandwich, it had lots of meat & veggies and was flavorful, the sandwich was made very quick. Oh and the bread was soft on the inside/ crunchy on the outside, I will be coming back thank you!“

“A delicious hidden gem! The staff is super nice and hardworking and the food is truly wonderful. The red curry is exceptional; I’ve traveled around SE Asia and the red curry here can go toe to toe with any I’ve had. I highly recommend Indochine!“

“It was a normal counter-serve Asian bowls restaurant. It won't blow you away but the ingredients are quality, and the service is pretty quick. Prices are the best you'll get in dtmv.

Not too many customers and the ambiance is very underwhelming, but you can eat outside so irlt really doesn't matter.“

““Authentic” is the best word to describe this place, from the food to the staff. I’ve been coming here when I am in the area since a Vietnamese coworker introduced me to it in the 90s.

My go-to dish is the lean beef Pho, but there are many other options including rice and noodle dishes. The service is fast and the pho is delicious.

I try to arrive after the lunch rush since it can be very crowded at peak hours.“

“The foods are great. Service is good and the place is clean.“

“I haven’t been to a Bambu in several years, and finally got the opportunity to do so when I was in the area. The interior of this place was very cozy, with plenty indoor seating and cute decorations. I originally wanted the mango yogurt, but they were out of mango, so I got the strawberry yogurt instead. The drink was very tart and refreshing!“

“Highly recommended yummy yummy“
