Great place for some authentic pho. We visited family here and tried at this restaurant and had a great time here. The pho was great. Very tasty and they gave so much food at this restaurant. Compare to the places in San Jose, this place has almost 1/3 more food for the same price. Our family of 6 couldn’t finish all the 4 bowls of food we ordered.
We were here on Saturday lunch and had to wait for a table to be cleaned so had to wait for a few minutes. Guests don’t have to wait for long before seating. Food comes out pretty quickly once you ordered.
Right next door, they have the starbread which is also a must have as well once you’re done. It’s kind of like butter bread sticks that’s slightly sweet. Really good.

This location was Hard to find at 1st, when we put it on the GPS, ut had us go towards the back of the center. But thats not why this received a 4 star. Its a quaint and CLEAN place vs others we've seen. The restrooms were clean the environment was tandem simple. As usual when entering a pho café its always seat yourself, not a problem there. Recieved our menus and wanted to wash our hands before making a decision, as we always do. The order taker came quick and when I said give us a couple min to him it meant 10 min. Now, again pho place aren't supposed to be a 5 star restaurant as its natural setting is supposed to be laid back and at most, inviting, & clean. This place met all of that. The place was half full with individuals enjoying their meals around as you can tell alot of chatting and smiles around easily. We didnt know their size portions so we ordered 1 large for myself and 2 mediums, 1 for the wifey and 1 the kids splits. When the toppings arrived there was a bundlesome of bean sprouts galore (loved it +) then the bowls arrived somewhat reaching the size it simply advertises. Large bowl was fairly large as the medium was 1/4 shorter in height vs the large. After adding the sriracha, hoison, and dropping the usual lemons inside, I was ready to go. The taste was good, but the broth seemed a little light and not bold in flavors. It was fully balanced with meat to noodles. Although not bad, it still needed room for improvement. Now if there is any reviewers stating that the service was bland, then they should NEVER go to a pho Cafe. Pho places aren't a 5 star restaurant, nor is it meant to be. Its a casual place with you being served 1x and thats it, if you want more things you call for it. But, generally theres always 1 donk or 2 that expects more from a pho cafe. Although I think the price is overpriced nearly $20 for a Large bowl, and the taste was sublime. So if you're planning on visiting this place be sure to have CASH OR ZELLE. Otherwise an ATM is needed. So come visit try it out, it is worth a 1 x try. But if you feel the cost is too high, im confident there are others with bolder taste and lower prices that may suit your needs.
Great pho broth, generous with meat, Jasmine tea is very fragrant, thit nuong was super flavourful!

Our go to place for pho because it's always consistent with her pho. Service is decent and pho comes out quick but they always forget that we ask for extra cilantro. Not that big of a deal as we just ask again and they provide it asap to us. Inside is decently sized and accommodated to eat. Cash only here so make sure to bring cash.
overpriced pho that's so so

The food at this pho restaurant is good, but the customer service is seriously lacking. We asked for separate checks, and the man working there refused to accommodate us. Instead of helping or offering a solution, he was rude and dismissive. It’s frustrating when employees make you feel like a burden for a simple request.
Good food isn’t enough to make up for the unprofessional and unfriendly service. I won’t be coming back and wouldn’t recommend it unless the staff improves their attitude.
The owner of restaurant was very rude, unprofessional service. The food was ok, wouldn’t recommend the place
What an outstanding Vietnamese restaurant! The service here is top-notch - the servers are knowledgeable about the menu and offered great recommendations. The food was nothing short of fantastic; the banh mi sandwich I had was a flavor explosion, and the coffee was a delightful end to the meal. The cozy and authentic ambiance added to the overall experience. I'll be back for more!
This is my favorite pho restaurant in the east bay! Great service, great food. I love the broth. always Vietnamese customers in here also. We are not local so we always stop by when we are in town.
Kind and gentle service by an en elderly man who delivers
