“I work nearby and googled “Bahn mi near me” and found this highly rated place. The line was out the door a little before noon and someone called them a “staple go-to of Union City” and told me you have to get there early.
I got a sandwich and spring rolls for like $16 total and I’m used to paying like $20-25 at other places“

“The food here was phenomenal!! Our order was taken by the restaurant grandpa, and he was the sweetest. He literally walks away, and two minutes later, our food is at our table. The broth was delicious. Some of the best we have had around this area. And then best part is, it was affordable.“

“This is yet one of the best Vietnamese Restaurants in the Bay Area. The Pho and Bun Bo Hue is truly authentic. 👍😋“
“First time here and they have a unique menu. Meet the owners & they were chill. Found out they got a location in SF too. I got the Viet Coffee with Coconut condensed milk... it hits like A1. Also got the Special (Dac Biet) Sandwich... and it Smacked! Will definitely be back to try the more unique fusion sandwiches like the Kare Kare one.“

“food is sooo good! however, we did not like the service, our waitress/cashier was extremely pushy about tipping despite me and my friend only ordering two noodle soups (chicken ho fun), we are only high school students from nearby as well and the waitress was quite mean :( now we only order to-go to avoid the service but yes, i do really enjoy the food from here“

“Have been here a few times already and everything is consistently delicious. Thought it was about time for a review! Most recently, I ordered the pho ga (chicken pho) just as it is and it was flavorful, full of good size chicken pieces, ample noodles, and the broth was perfect. Toppings on the side were plentiful (basil, lemon, sprouts, etc.). I also ordered a soda chanh (lemon soda) and some spring rolls. Again, never an issue with the freshness or quantity provided. Just loved it and highly recommended you pay this restaurant a visit if you're in Union City and are seeking a wonderful Vietnamese restaurant. While I haven't tried the other meat/rice dishes they offer (since I typically only ordered pho), my other family members have and will attest that they are made well and are of sizeable portion. Also, the family that runs this place is always kind and efficient. Thank you so much!“

“I ordered their Bún bò Huế. It’s not as spicy as it looks but has an amazing flavor bomb. The only thing I was sad I didn’t see was the blood cubes, pork trotters/hocks that I usually enjoy in it. Other than that, the portion was generous for the price and I would definitely come back for it.
Bonus Points:
You can tell it’s a family establishment because everyone does their part to keep the restaurant super clean and everything restocked on the table.“

“Wow the pho is legit. Broth is flavorable with the right spices. Portion size was good for the price of the bowl. My friend (also Vietnamese) got the garlic noodle dish and it was spot on. Will be coming back to try other authentic dishes.“

“I ordered here last week for my whole family. They made their meat so soft compared to other restaurants. Also, they have excellent customers service. They all are very nice and friendly. I only tried Grill Porks and Shrimps Vermicelli. I’ll definitely come to try noodle soup next time. I highly recommend this restaurant. ❤️🥰🍲🍛🥢🍴“

“Dropped in for some pho and really enjoyed the meal. The service was really great and friendly. Pho- quite delicious. I liked the quality of the goods, the mint and thai basil leaves were very impressive, so fresh and HUGE and tasted great. This place also served their bowls with limes which is funny because I've seen it becoming rarer, where lemons are being substituted and I'm the former so I appreciated that. The cuts of meat were these nice long strips, high quality.
I also got a banh xeo and that things was awesome. Whoever cooked it did so perfectly... nice crunch on the rim, juicy interior. The batter has coconut milk, so each bite is so flavorful. This was my favorite dish. Again, high quality meats and veggies, and huge! Good stuff. Also their coffee has a great condescended milk to coffee ratio, super sweet and rich yum“

“Definitely a gem. Had some delicious marinated steak and a Vietnamese coffee that tasted like it had more condensed milk than coffee. The steak sandwich was simple but so unbelievably delicious.
My only note is that the place could use some interior redecorating. The prices are amazing, however.“

“Pho Saigon was conveniently close to my hotel, and I was seated right away. I ordered the pho, which came in a generous bowl with plenty of meat options, including short rib, meatball, tendon, and tripe. The garnishes were plentiful, the service was pleasant, and I had no trouble parking at lunchtime. I’d go back.“

service is fine. easy and straight forward
anyways, the bacon egg and cheese croissant is really eh. its not the best… the mochi nut is ok, and the prices are… i guess its whats considered average now.“

“We are glad we found Dope Pho restaurant in Fremont. I and my husband are vegetarian/eggitarian and we were looking for a Vietnamese restaurant with veg options especially Vietnamese rice noodles soup called pho (made with vegetable broth). It is called Do Chay on the menu (indicating no fish, meat, or chicken broth). The place is simple, clean, and bright. Our server was a nice and a caring person. The service was very good. We loved their healthy food that was light on stomach. The Pho was delicious. Grilled tofu was tasty eaten with thick soy sauce. They have veg egg rolls and tofu egg rolls which we plan to try next time. The presentation of food was appetizing. The portions are large. The prices reasonable… Overall a satisfying experience for the palate!“

“Lotus Leaf is a fantastic spot for Vietnamese food in San Leandro! The pho was flavorful and comforting, and the fresh spring rolls were delicious. Everything tasted fresh, well-prepared, and full of authentic flavor. The portions were generous, the atmosphere was cozy, and the service was friendly and attentive. A great place for a casual lunch or dinner, especially if you love pho and Vietnamese cuisine. Definitely worth coming back!“

“I love the broth!!!! I can tell that you must have braised the broth forever since the broth was so good. I was busy each time my husband wanted to take me so I asked him to buy to go. OMG a I opened the door coming home to smell Pho all over my home. It felt as if I was at the restaurant. The aroma was pho-Ing good!!! The meat was pho-tastic.and I love the huge volume of onions and fresh tasking ginger in every bite. If you love pho or if you love noodles or if you love food, then you must visit this Pho Thin Ha Noi - pho-ing good.“

The portions are generous, the service is friendly, and everything tastes authentic and satisfying. Definitely one of my favorite places to stop by for a good meal!“

“The vegan choices on their menu are fantastic. Ask questions, and once they know you are looking for only vegan options, they will work with you to find them. My husband, who isn't vegan, loves their non-vegan food. So this place is a good place to take people in your life who aren't vegan. It's very busy and noisy. I wear earplugs in public sometimes, and they're helpful here.“

“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?“

“Super solid pho place! Huge portions and noodle to soup ratio. The beef rib pho came with a giant piece of rib with tender meat that fall off the bone. My favorite thing about the restaurant is being able to substitute pho noodle for my Bun bo hue!
The service isn’t the most attentive. Especially on busy days, they are super understaffed and you can be at your table waiting for a while. But you get free desserts and sometimes free pandan waffles!“

“Pho Lan, a true family-run establishment in Fremont, delivers exactly what matters most in Vietnamese cuisine: spectacular, authentic flavor and generous value. While this isn't the spot for a luxurious, white-tablecloth experience, it is hands down the best place to find truly delicious pho and rice dishes in the area.
The primary reason to visit Pho Lan is the food, and they execute it flawlessly. The flavors here are deeply authentic, showcasing the care and tradition that only a family business dedicated to its craft can provide.
The Pho: The star of the show is, naturally, the pho. The broth is rich, complex, and clean—the hallmark of high-quality pho. It’s clear that the broth simmers for hours, resulting in a depth of flavor that many chain restaurants simply cannot replicate. Whether you choose a classic rare steak or brisket combination, the meat is fresh, and the portion size is substantial.
Beyond the Broth: While the pho is a must-try, the kitchen excels across the board. The rice dishes are equally noteworthy, featuring perfectly cooked meats and well-balanced marinades. If you're looking for Vietnamese food that tastes just like the dishes prepared in a traditional home, Pho Lan delivers.
Pho Lan offers excellent value. The portions are notably generous, ensuring you leave completely satisfied. In an age where many restaurants are shrinking servings, Pho Lan maintains a commitment to great portion size, making it a fantastic choice for lunch or dinner without breaking the bank.
It is important to manage expectations regarding the dining environment and service. As a dedicated, family-run operation, the entire focus is on efficiency and getting excellent food to your table quickly.
Ambiance & Service: This is not a restaurant built on trendy decor or overly solicitous service. The atmosphere is simple, casual, and functional. Service is efficient and straightforward, reflecting the priority of the kitchen over the front of house flair. If the quality of the food is your main metric, you will be thrilled. If you expect a high-end, polished dining experience, you might need to adjust your expectations. Pho Lan is an honest, no-frills location dedicated to its culinary mission.
Pho Lan is a Fremont treasure. It’s the kind of local spot that deserves strong community support because they consistently nail the most important element: the food.
For authentic flavors, generous portions, and truly delicious Vietnamese cuisine—from the masterful pho broth to the flavorful rice plates—Pho Lan is highly recommended. Come support this dedicated family business and enjoy some of the best Vietnamese food Fremont has to offer.
This was long due- will post pictures next time I visit them.“

“Delicious Vietnamese coffee. Very true to taste, creamy, and flavorful. You HAVE TO try the Banana Matcha, very creamy and you can truly taste the rich banana with cookies from it. The service was quick and staffs were amazing. Limited indoor seating when I came on a Saturday morning.“

“What a find! We stopped here on A road trip and were craving Vietnamese food, like we always do. Pho Dublin exceeded our expectations. The Bahn Mi was delicious and fresh, the bread was perfectly crunchy and soft. The spring rolls are wrapped very well and all of their ingredients are super fresh. Definitely recommend the vermicelli bowl too. Make sure you stop by this place if you have the chance! Cravings = satisfied“

“Been supporting this place most of my teens and college years, I recommend this place to anyone looking for a lot of variety such as , pho , Banh Mi , snacks , drinks and anyone looking for ready to go food. Come early sometimes lines can be long. Expect delays too , sometimes they are short staff and get help from security which really is a great help to them.“
