“The BEST banh mi sandwich I have ever had in the TBread special It was a party in my mouth. The bread was fresh and crusty and all the ingredients in the sandwich were perfectly complemented. I will be thinking about this one for a long time!“
“Easily the best Pho I've had in the Bay area over the past few years. Comparable to the best spots in Westminster CA. (Little Saigon) INCREDIBLE BROTH that sings to your soul in the cooler weather! Service was great and the atmosphere was relaxing. Highly recommended for even picky people.“
“Never a line to get in and offers the fastest lunch service anywhere in the Bay Area if you order pho. Good quantity of meat and fresh basil, sprouts and a very juicy lime (or lemon)! Soup quality can vary day to day but is never bad, though some days are definitely better than others. Credit cards for orders over $20. ATM available inside. Large attached parking lot.Parking: Shared parking lot with a corner mall. There's always a space available.“
“A Hidden Gem in Los Altos when you need that broth and are not in San Jose !I stumbled upon this delightful mom and pop pho restaurant during a weekend work trip to Los Altos, and it turned out to be a real gem! As someone who appreciates genuine hospitality and authentic ingredients, I was thoroughly impressed by the warm welcome and the evident care put into every dish.The moment I stepped in, I was greeted with a friendly smile that instantly made me feel at home. The aroma of simmering bone broth filled the air, hinting at the comforting meal that awaited me. I opted for their classic pho, and it exceeded all expectations. The broth was rich and flavorful, a testament to the honest ingredients used in its preparation. Each spoonful was a comforting embrace, perfect for nursing my morning fogginess from the night before.What truly sets this place apart is its dedication to customer service. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that my dining experience was nothing short of exceptional. Their genuine warmth and attentiveness added an extra layer of warmth to an already delightful meal.Adding to the charm of this place is its cool cabin theme, adorned with wooden bears that give it a unique and cozy atmosphere. I love it. If you find yourself in Los Altos craving a taste of authentic Vietnamese cuisine made with love and care, this is the place to be.“
“Good quality food, dined here 2-3 times and had to go 2-3 times, food has been consistently tasty and fresh. My favorite here is Vegetable Pho with Chicken Soup. Once I tried shrimp fresh rolls, I will rate them 4 instead of 5 as I had better ones somewhere else.“
“I wanted to go to this place based on the design and food. The food and service is great, but the problem is how the inside of the restaurant. It feels bland inside due to the choice of colors and there are hardly any decorations. It also feels hot inside too, but it’s probably because of the hot weather outside.There are rarely seatings here due to the size of the place. I really like the Pho, however. I wouldn’t really wanna dine here due to atmosphere. Maybe next time, I’ll just do a takeout.“
“The imperial pho is amazing, light, balanced, perfect portion... The beef while still mostly rare melts in your mouth. There's a few other standout menu items including the Shaken beef and tuna tartare. Still haven't tried a lot of the things on the menu, though, because the pho is too good to skipDietary restrictions: Most dietary restrictions seem to be accommodated with specific dishes and requests“
“Cozy Pho shop in San Mateo. They're very friendly and quick to respond. We ordered a vegetarian pho and a curry chicken pho and modified it to be without chicken and just tofu. It's a brilliant flavorful item and 10/10 would recommend it .The veggie rolls with the peanut sauce are an out of this world option for appetizer!Also such massive portion sizes. Definitely go in hungry or you're gonna be packing food to-go !“
“Stopped by to pick up a few sandwiches since I’ve been craving banh mi. Staff was kind and welcoming and the inside was well kept and clean. Ordered the BBQ pork with everything and added a fried egg since that’s my go to. Bread was perfectly crunchy but not too hard that it hurts like mouth like some other places, and the flavors of the pickled vegetables and the pork were amazing! Definitely finished the whole sandwich and wanted more. Will be back next time to try the other varieties!“

“Levi's Stadium plaza on Thursdays. If one is craving musubi, it hits the spot! Have other creative selections to choose from, but opted for the traditional spam tamago musubi. The rice lacked the stickiness like Hawaii would have it and sauce a bit lacking. Other than that, solid.“
“My pho craving was fulfilled! One of the best foods to have after a night of drinking and going to a concert. The broth was delicious and hot! It doesn't need any additional sauces, just the herbs and lemon was good enough. There weren't any sauce dishes to put hoisin sauce and sriracha on the side, so I just used the same plate with the herbs. The veggie spring rolls were nice. It came with fish sauce, but I think it would be better with the peanut sauce. $16 for pho and $11-12 for the spring rolls. A little steep, however it is a big serving and they weren't skimpy on the meat. It was nice that they have lemon water.I was here on a Sunday during lunch, and I'm glad it wasn't super busy. I was seated quickly, having the option to choose the table. Service was exceptional!“
“I ordered the combination noodle soup Pho. My friend got the spicy one. They will try to up grade your pho with Meat ball $1.95 for few meat balls. I don’t think it’s worth it, but if you like them up gradeIt was good. Basic Vietnamese pho you would expect. Extra meat balls, drink and tip makes it a $25 plus/person lunch.I’d like to go in for a $10 pho..The video of Vietnam they play in the Tv is nice.“
“Food was good. I asked if the shaken beef noodles were spicy before ordering for my kids and was told no but when it came, it was clearly spicy. My daughter ordered a drink and we paid $0.75 extra for the boba but it was not in the drink. When we brought these issues up with the staff, they made them new items and refunded the difference and made a new drink for my daughter even though we asked just for the boba to add. I appreciate their customer service“
“This used to be a Burger King and awesomely they still have the drive-through going on but I have not utilized it yet for pho.They did a good job of shaping up the interior and the drab windows are even tinted with color now.I liked the broth of the beef pho and it came with a good amount of meat and green onions surprisingly. The noodle portion was on the small side.They add an automatic 10% service fee which is fine as I would at least tip that much but just FYI in case anyone didn't notice and take that into account before tipping more.“
“Order takeouts from here at least twice a month. Their bbh is flavorful and the broth is more on the sour side (which I personally like). Their meat also tastes fresh. The pork chop rice is also great and the pork chop tastes chargrilled, which I also like. The pho broth tastes good as well and not bland like some others around the area.“
“Honestly one of my favorite pho spots in the South Bay! The staff were nice and friendly. I ordered the pho #1 combination which is my go to when I come here. It has everything from tripe, tendon, brisket, steak, meat balls, and ox tail. Yum! The broth was literally made out of ox tail and you can taste the freshness of the soup. You can tell it has been cooking for hours. The meat was so tender as well. My friends and I also ordered the spring rolls, which was so fresh and delicious.“
“The pho is slightly above average, but the service is above and beyond expectations and better than any other pho places we've experienced. Their red spicy sauce is different from sriracha sauce but very good, but if you want the regular Sriracha sauce, you can ask for the sauce packets. Note that they automatically charge you 18% gratuity, and it's correctly based on the pretax amount, so it's actually less than the 20% I usually give. The fried chicken pieces are a bit scrawny with too much fish sauce and the dessert drink beans were whole and not that sweet. But again, the service was excellent and very impressive.“
“Ordered house special noodle soup.It's Saturday afternoon around 3pm. Driving there was really IMPOSSIBLE. Parking lot was totally jammed by Costco customers and also the in/out of the parking lot. We were frustrated after spending 20 min just to get in, make a circle, then come out. Eventually, we parked a block away then walked to the restaurant.Parking: Next to Costco and all available parking spaces were taken (many of them were there for Costco for sure).“
“This is an amazing place.I had a small bowl of chicken phó, but the small bowl was pretty big. I loved it. I was not able finish it. All the sides were served and sauces were on the table.I did not have to ask for anything extra, customer service was 10/10. The restaurant also deserves 10/10 for cleanliness.I dropped my napkin on the floor by accident and the nice gentleman saw, and brought extra napkins over to my table with out me asking.That was nice of him.“
“I've been here a few times. For dine in and take out. Typically get the chicken pho, spring rolls or brisket phi. All are delicious. Generous portion. Quick service.Kid-friendliness: Family friendly place. Nothing specifically for kids but a casual enough environment that the little ones will be comfortable. Saw quite a few families with kids last time I went.“
“Great place to go to lunch or dinner on a whim. Their phó soup is very tasty, but my husband and I are particularly fond of their crepe, the fresh rolls, papaya salad, and I love the crispy noodles. Jasmine, the waitress that's usually there is a real gem. We love this place-definitely recommend“
“I came here on the recommendation of a friend and the pho here is really delicious.I didn't understand what the other opinions said about the noodles being overcooked, maybe it was that one time (I think they had the option to tell the waiter about the problem, and they would have fixed it).We received the noodles just right and I made a mistake when I ordering something for a child of my family and they helped me make the solution very kindly.“
“A great BYO Asian bowl spot on Stanford campus! The place is pretty popular with students, so there tends to be a line around lunchtime. Bowls are around $12, all meats are the same price. There is no seating inside, just grab and go, but there are some nice seating areas right outside.I had a salad bowl with half tocino and half panko chicken. Loved the texture and flavor of both meats, and the variety and amount of vegetables I got in my bowl. The tocino pork had a great sweet and savory flavor and the panko chicken was crispy and tender.Topped it off with the sriracha mayo sauce.Would definitely return to try their other protein options!“
