Came here for a quick lunch as expected the service was quick. I ordered one of their soups. It was really good. Dont expect spicy soup but have a mix on the side to add if u need spicy but I won’t recommend.

Great variety in menu. Food served quick. Needed to remind staff repeatedly about drunk orders. Cash only business.Parking: It's in the corner of the shopping center and signage is burnt out, so hard to see on a dark night.

The pho is super clean and rich. Broth is packed full of flavor, meat is excellent and their tendon is super soft! Definitely beats any other pho place around the Union City/Fremont area

Their vermicelli bowl with grilled pork and egg rolls is pretty damn good - I'd say the best one I've found so far! The grilled pork has a nice char and very flavorful and tender! Only problem is for the price of nearly $18 dollars it is not filling. I'd expect to be full paying nearly 20 bucks for a meal. The other problem is that they are cash only so minus 1 star! And no I don't want to use their ATM machine.

Love the Pho here. It's my wife's favorite spot. No kids bowl size, but as with every other spot I've been, they will give you an extra bowl for the little ones.The restaurant is clean and well kept. Have booths and tables capable of taking on parties of varying sizes.Cash Only.

the food in this unassuming restaurant is constantly delicious. I had vermicelli with grilled pork and spring rolls. best grilled pork ever and that is my usual dish at VN restaurants. All of the components of the dish were spot on and they serve a huge portion.

A great, phenomenal Pho restaurant. It is pretty cheap for what you get, but the soup is excellent. You have to get the raw brisket, it comes out delicious and tender. I always try to go here when I'm in the area. Just keep in mind that it is a cash only place.

First time I ordered to-go, they waiter told me they took cash only. That’s ok! But he looks very unhappy. I ordered again later in few months, the same service guy was there with impolite attitude and didn’t told me which was my order, so I picked the wrong one, he yelled, “wait wait, what is going on! “ it was he responsibility to tell clients the right item, but acting so rude to client. Won’t order again. Besides, lots of MSG of the food.

Cash only here. Good food, soups always come out piping hot. The service could always be better. They def don't walk around and check if you need anything, you have to call out for them, wave your arms to catch their attention. But the good food makes up for that....sometimes.

Cash only; don't order lemonade... you get 80% ice. If you day anything about it, they reply that's the way it should be. It's ridiculous. Food is great.

Pros: House special pho was tasty. Service is good. Plenty of parking.Cons: CASH ONLY. Can’t substitute noodles for veggies, which is a mist for me due to health reasons

It seems like the quality and quantity of the pho here has gone downhill over the years. I remember when it first opened, the pho was so delicious and affordable for less than $10. Given inflation, yes everything has gone up, but a bowl of large pho here comes close to $20, and the portion is about similar size of a regular. I got the rare steak and beef ball, I was so shocked to see I only got 1 beef ball cut up into 4 tiny pieces. At least provide another beef ball? The rare steak portion was decent though. The broth tasted a bit more bland and not as flavorful as it used to be. Eventually it tasted watered down as I continued eating. I would not mind paying the higher price, but if the quality has gone down, I don't think I'd frequent this place anymore. The first year this place opened I remember dining in at this restaurant and ordered a large beef ball pho, and there were at least 12 pieces of beef balls in my pho. Long gone are the generous portions and quality. I hope my experience was a one-off and it's still just as good as we remember it.
