Pho Dong Noodle Soup Vietnamese Cuisine

I'm Vietnamese, I've eaten at many Vietnamese restaurants in the South Bay and in Vietnam. I'm going to cut it short, this place is not good. My first warning sign as that a majority of this menu is written in English instead of Vietnamese with English translations. I was surprised to find they sold banh xeo here, and while it is a large crepe, I find it very disappointing in terms of taste of both the crepe itself and the fish sauce. Also, not very often do I find this served with mostly chicken. I find that it is a way to cost cut from using more expensive and tastier meat options. I got their beef pho and while I ate the whole thing, it is very bland, very weak beef flavor, and for some reason they cut the noodles?! Like it makes it so much harder to eat properly. I think my biggest gripe is how much everything costed for what was being served here. 18 dollars each for the crepe and the pho when it's this bland is kind of insulting considering a little further drive to San Mateo or Palo Alto gets you Gao and Pho Ha Noi. Service was okay, nothing special. It was not busy on a weekday dinner time.

Nice atmosphere. Clean and well tended. Our server was patient and very nice. We had spring rolls and I had beef pho and my friend had a pork banh mi. $44.44 for the meal. Not horrible nowadays. But not awesome. Her sandwich was apparently oddly sweet. The roll was more like a Kaiser bun but warm and made her happy. The carrots seemed to be in a mayo preparation. Not just fresh carrots. Didn't see any of the liver spread. So. Not a traditional sandwich. My pho was good. But the broth was a little oily. It was just ok. The meat was nice and very lean. Spring rolls were odd with their slice of pork. The peanut sauce was just ok. All in all I will stick with my favorite Pho Vinh but this was nice to try.

Very disappointed I Ordered on door dash and found a live bug in our food upon arrival I already felt this place was overpriced and this is just unacceptable

I've been coming to this place for several years now and stopped coming during the pandemic. I recently stopped by and had lunch with my sisters on one of those hella cold winter days. We each bought a chicken pho and I added meatballs to mine and made it a large instead of the regular. After a few minutes the pho was out and we were ready to eat. I couldn't really tell the size difference except for mine being the only one with meatballs. In the photos you can tell they don't look different in size. This was my top favorite spot for Pho in the peninsula because of the richness of the beef broth and the overall flavor of the pho. Service is good. Not much to it but order and get your food and pay. This last visit I was so disappointed with the flavor of the pho. Watery chicken soup. Too many noodles not enough chicken or meatballs. Extra meatballs were $6.50 for 6 meatballs. Each pho was about $16.50 (5 phos , 1 spring roll was about $105 without tip). I've had $17 pho and this is not even comparable to that. I've been a fan from my first visit but over the years the flavor has declined so drastically it's no longer in the rotation of pho I eat anymore. Prices are rising that makes sense with the current times but make it make sense. Continue to deliver quality and price is not an issue.

The food here was great! The staff was so friendly, funny, and kind! Definitely recommend if youre in the area and looking for good pho!
