Cash only here. Good food, soups always come out piping hot. The service could always be better. They def dont 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.
Phở has gotten worse. And one of the waiters was unfriendly and the service is mediocre. Used to be good.
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.
Best Pho joint in Tricity!! Very authentic broth. Generous meats and portions. Family run small business. Delicious food, attentive service and family friendly atmosphere.
First time eating here and wont be the last. Had the Bun Tom w vermicelli noodles and shrimp. A healthy portion size. The flavor was amazing. Love all the crunchy cucumber it had. Also ordered some spring rolls which were good as well. The peanut sauce was on point.
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 dont think Id 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 its still just as good as we remember it.
This place is a solid 5 stars for the combo of amazing service and quality of their dishes.Ive been waiting for a great Vietnamese spot in the Union City area, and here it is! More like here its been! My family and friends have been coming here for years now. The food is always delicious. The noodles are always fresh, even in the vermicelli bowl theyre still slightly warm from just being cooked. All of the rolls are fresh and the ingredients are perfectly paired. Two spring rolls are enough to fill you for lunch. With your pho bowls, theyll give you ample fixings and theres never any hesitation when you ask for substitutions or extras. The booths are new and the restrooms are spotless. The family who runs this place is such a gem! You can tell by how they address regulars and how kind they are at all times. I dont think Ive ever seen anyone in a bad mood. At this point, Ive had everything on their menu and you just cant go wrong.Favorites:- Spring rolls- Spicy beef noodles- BBQ beef & shrimp vermicelli plate- Beef noodle soup #1- Grilled pork & egg rolls over vermicelli- Fried shrimp cake..... honestly, I could probably keep naming more - its all good here!I cant wait for those chilly winter nights and a warm bowl of pho from Pho VN.
Cash only; dont order lemonade... you get 80% ice. If you day anything about it, they reply thats the way it should be. Its ridiculous. Food is great.
I use to love going here, but the last 2 times I visited I decided I will never go here again, the guy at the front had the worst attitude as if he hated me( no I am not joking, he mugged me the whole time) I tried ordering and when it came time for my drink he said they didn’t sell it when I seen it in the fridge next to him, I pointed that out and he looked at me in disgust, he also gave me the worst attitude I ever experienced at a place similar to this. I decided to give it one more try with my brother and the waiter kept telling me to get all the cheap stuff in a very rude way as if I didn’t have money. When I finally got my pho the meat had nothing but fat in it and cartilage, I didn’t order that at all, I had plate next to me full of it and yes I asked for an extra plate just to put all the fat in it. I had maybe 10% meat and the rest fat and cartilage. I’m sure they did that on purpose and I was polite. I will never go there again, I hope those who go do not get the same experience I had. I live down the street which is even more sad, I drive to Fremont since the other place I like has so much better service. Also since I am Latino they might not like me and stare pretty hard as soon as I walk in. I would rate it a zero star if I could. Good luck people.
Had the combo special pho for both beef and chicken soup bases. They say this is the best pho in the bay but I think its overrated. Pretty flavorful, sure, but nothing mindblowingly extraordinary to justify the price.Fresh shrimps rolls were also ok.
Modern restaurant and the owner was really nice, especially when helping with wanting a smaller bowl of pho. Just ask for a baby bowl and youll be good.
I frequent this place often. Its very clean and organized. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. I love the rice plate combos and the Pho. Never have I had a bad experience. In fact, Ill be eating there again this evening, 01.03.19.
Very clean organized place. Stuff was warm and courteous. Food was exceptional and authentic. Things to note is it is a cash only place, and medium vs large pho portions are only few more cents $10.95 so go for the large. Thai tea was ok, not the best. Will be going back here for more.
Cash only. its our go-to place for pho in the area. We were glad they opened a few years ago and continue to return since. Prices have gone up since but its really the better choice in the area and always hits the spot for pho.
Customer service 0 !!! Make a actual sign at your entrance that says cash only!!!! They allow only certain people to pay Apple Pay. If your Hispanic make sure you take cash otherwise you don’t qualify for the Apple Pay exception!!!!
Wonderful pho restaurant. Every dish that weve had has been made quickly and well, and the establishment is very well decorated and clean. We have gone 5 or so times so far and we will keep coming back. The chicken wings are especially amazing, but everything is good.
Good food and fast service! Cash only place but they have an ATM machine you can use.
Great pho, some of the best rice noodles weve ever had. Accommodating for kids, allowing us to split a bowl and helping us with scissors and extra ice. Our favorite local Pho spot.
Pretty good Pho. Definitely expensive for pho though. WARNING CASH ONLY LOCATION! thays not a dwal breaker or anything but just know you need cash and its about $10-20 a person depending on orders drinks and tip
The pork chop rice platter I got was hella good. One problem, I had to wait 15 min for it. Vietnamese food is usually really quick. The staff didnt check,or find it strange that only one of us was eating. One of the waiters was on his lunch break and the other was on his phone not even getting off of it to take another customers payment.The food was bomb. I liked the pho broth a lot and there was lots of meat. The spring rolls were also very tasty. So Pho VN... Good food, but step your customer awareness game up breh.
Customer service was not good. Cash only and no sign so I was stuck with using ATM and paid a 3 dollar fee. Would not recommend this place.
Place is great for your Vietnamese food fix. I love going here on cold/rainy days or after a night of drinking or getting over a cold. Eating pho is definitely a remedy to anything. This place has been my go to ever since it opened, I used to go across the street to Pho Pasteur before but have not been there since discovering Pho VN. There is almost never a wait, the place is cleanly, and the food is always piping hot! Just remember that it is CASH ONLY! My favorite thing to eat here is definitely the pho or the bun bo hue but anything else on the menu is all pretty solid as well. A side note the portion size of the pho is generous, I almost always get a large at any other pho restaurant but always get a regular here.
Cash OnlyHad the BBH and spring rolls.Spring rolls came out in under 3 min, looks to be pre-made, but also house-made. Plating is nice and includes the peanut sauce. Rolls were good, tasted fresh and had bite.BBH looked legit. Had it in a large, very good serving of meat and noodle. One thing to note is that the broth is VERY oily. Dip your soup spoon in and watch the fat stick to it after you take it out.Overall, not bad, will come back to try their pho.
This place is truly a hidden gem . The Pho here is 🔥🔥 . The customer service is awesome! Ive never had a single issue here . Everything always on point. Its cash only but they have an ATM machine.
Pho was soooo good and fresh and they brought it to the table so fast!! Id def come back! The only thing, make sure to bring cash! They only accept cash!
Delicious food, fast service, and fair prices. My only complaints are as follows:1) Who is cash only these days, honestly? So many easy ways to accommodate cards.2) Why, in the name of all that is logical, is WEDNESDAY the day you decide to be closed on?
I cannot claim Pho expertise, but Ive been to a reasonably large number of Pho restaurants and Pho VN has some of the freshest-tasting and most delicious broth Ive tried. Everything else Ive tried here is also good, but for Pho the broth is what usually makes or breaks it in my book.
One of the better Vietnamese places in the bay. Just a little better then Pho Pasteur, or House of Pho, but also a bit more expensive. Good ambiance and cleanliness, I dont think they have banh mi, but Cam Huong is literally Katty Korner away and they have the best Banh Mi around. I usually go with the grilled pork/shrimp cake rice plate as my go-to order and it doesnt disappoint, the free soup is also very good. The cucumber daikons and carrots are fresh and sliced thick and goes great with the Nuoc Cham ( Fish sauce/limeade mix) only wished the stayed open later so I could go more often.
Cash only!The food is alright, and is honestly quite pricey for casual Vietnamese food. Expect to pay $10+ for each dish, pre-tax/tip.Fast service and nice, open ambience.
Huge portions, great prices, good broth
Great local Vietnamese eatery with plenty of pho varieties. Ingredients were fresh and flavourful. Chicken pho was very tasty especially on a cold day. The spicy pho was very rich, a little pungunt and full of tendons. I preferred the chicken broth as its plain and fresh especially with all of the herbs.
Good 🇻🇳 soup👍🏽👍🏽
Walked in and was told they were cleaning a table for me and my family but ended up giving that table to a couple bc a waiter thought we were done. Brushed it off like it was nothing and told us to wait for another table. I have been the multiple time and have delt with their bad service before.
You cannot go wrong at this place. Huge portions, great taste, cheaply priced. 2 thumbs up. Just know that its cash only.
Always packed but worth a wait. They offer Pho with either egg noodles or rice noodles. Broth is tasty and good portions of meat in the Pho. Ask for the extra onion!
Pho VN is a decent pho place located in the Union City. Its probably the best in the area if you are looking for some pho or vietnamese food. Place is cash only and can get busy during lunch time. They close on Wednesdays so thats something to take in consideration before heading over.
A good Vietnamese restaurant with warm interior and nice staff. Food are good, but smoothie here is just okay. Cash only but there is an ATM machine near at the gas station
Great service and very helpful when we were concerned about gluten free options for celiac disease. Consistency is key for a restaurant and they’ve nailed this area.
Their food is consistently yummy! Customer service is great! Cash ONLY! Please patronize them.
Delicious broth, perfectly done noodles, and delightful choices of beef cuts. Absolutely amazing
Love this place! I usually go for Pho which broth is always very tasty and the staff are Very friendly. Would recommend
Portions are okay. Food is average, but I agree with other reviews that the broth is good. Rice tasted funny. I hope they use good quality 🍚
Authentic Vietnamese food. I love the rice with pork ribs. Noodles beef is great too. Nice and friendly staffs. Highly recommend
Living in san jose iv been to most pho places but by far this place here is the best.they put alot of meat in soup and very tasteful

I was not feeling well and felt like having a pho and have to say the chicken pho did not disappoint. The restaurant was also pretty clean with friendly staff and nominal price.
Best Vietnamese food in area. broth consistently tasty. portions are good. meats are tender. overall quality consistently good. some variation in greens with bun take out.
It’s my first Vietnamese experience and it is pretty good!!!
The food was good. The price range was very reasonable with some large portion for its price. Owner was very friendly
Best Place to eat pho soup,and egg rolls and some delicacies variety of food.white boba with durian or avocado is great,plus the ambience is great.

Best pho in the area by far, dont miss it- cash only but they have an ATM inside.
This place is OK. Its a bit on the salty side. Otherwise, service is good.
Poor treatment when asked whether they happened to serve any vegetarian or vegan options. Guy at reception literally laughed.

Amazing soup and fantastic noodles. I will definitely be coming back here.
I like ordering the combination rice plate if yourev very hungry. Cleaner than Pho Pasteur across the street.
All I can said is YUMMY!!! 😋

2023-08-22 22:20:14Love the Pho here. Its my wifes favorite spot. No kids bowl size, but as with every other spot Ive 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.
Review №2
2023-08-26 18:05:29Their vermicelli bowl with grilled pork and egg rolls is pretty damn good - Id say the best one Ive 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. Id 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 dont want to use their ATM machine.

2023-01-02 00:48:56Pros: 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

2023-10-14 05:40:09The 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

Review №7
2023-07-21 03:12:23The 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.

2023-07-03 19:58:46A 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 Im in the area. Just keep in mind that it is a cash only place.
Review №9
2020-07-29 10:05:58Yes yes and more yes! Best pho in the bay! Actually the world! If you haven’t been here you better try it at least once. I have taken Vietnamese friends and they approved! This restaurant is so comfortable because the stuff they are very friendly. When the staff gets to know you they know exactly what you want to order it’s great being a regular. We love meeting friends and family here anyone that visits we always take them. I am so happy that they opened up again it was way too long due to Covid and I was very worried about their family but they were all safe because they were one of the smarter businesses in the area and closed down during quarantine.

2018-11-12 04:41:50Easy experience! Been here for a few times and that their menus are simple. The picture is #1 on their menu, Beef Noodle Pho, that has lots of the option added (meat-wise) and its delicious!I love the environment, its clean and lively. The food is presented nicely and lots of portions given!
