What an amazing addition to Pleasant Hill! First off, the service is wonderful. The man (whom I am assuming is the owner) is so nice/sweet. Second, there is actually parking in front for take out orders! Third, the food is amazing and portions are a good size! We ordered: 1. Shrimp rolls #1 -- fresh and yummy! 2. Bun Bo Hue #14 -- SO SO good!!! 3. Grilled Beef with Garlic noodles #33 -- SO good! My girls loved the garlic noodles 4. Grilled Chicken with Garlic Noodle #32 -- SO good! 5. Grilled Chicken Salad #23 -- my dad loved this salad so much, he finished the entire entree in one sitting. He Initially said he'd only finish half. The restaurant is very clean, and it's busy, so it sounds like this place has already caught on!

First time at this resto and left fully satisfied. I ordered the Garlic Noodles with Grilled Chicken and it delicious! The chicken was grilled perfectly with delicately charred sides and soft meaty insides, over salad that reduced the flavorful garlic noodles. Nice ambiance and friendly, attentive staff. I highly recommend this place.

Considering that I am incredibly picky with Vietnamese food since I grew up with it, this is really as good as it gets for Vietnamese food in the area. We ordered the beef pho and beef skewer vermicelli plate. The beef pho broth was well-seasoned and packed full of actual beef flavor, and the vermicelli plate had tender, flavorful meat and decent nuoc cham. The restaurant staff members were very attentive and friendly; we look forward to coming back.

Food is good but why so pricey comparing to the other locations? It's over $22 after tip!!

Saw a new pho place opened up in the neighborhood and heard good things about it via word of mouth. Decided to pop in and try it. First of the all the place has a great vibe and the service was wonderful. People were very polite and attentive. We got a special pho and a beef pho. The broth wasn't as flavorful as I was used to by going to other pho places. I felt the noodles were a bit over cooked but not a big deal. The main problem was I felt the bowels were slim on the meat. The special only had about 3 small slices of Brisket/Filet could not tell what it was. The rib had two bites of meat on it. There was a lot of tenden and a decent amount of tripe. The beef bowl had very little meat in it as well. This pho seems more expensive then most other pho places i have been to in the bay. The appetizer was good. Overall, the food was okay. The service was great. Unfortunately, I do not see myself coming back. Would recommend others to try it out, it's just not for me.

First off we were greeted with a giant smile and promptly seated even though they were very busy. The employees were clearly moving and working as fast as they could and yet were maintaining a positive attitude. We ordered and we were quickly served. Everything was incredible! The pho broth was soothing with a great blend of flavor (not too intense and not bland). The filet was actually filet. The meat fell apart in my mouth with ease without having a gross "liver texture." The fact that the food was great was enough to get me to come back, but please let me emphasize on the service a bit more. Everything was done with a smile. Some of the best Vietnamese food I've ever had coupled with the some of the best customer service I've ever experienced. I will be back without a doubt!

1. Very pleasant and clean. 2. Light and tranquil decor 3. Beautiful plating. I came here to try this place out partly because their menu has a variety of entrees that are not available in local pho places. The service was fast. And I truly enjoyed the fresh garden rolls with tofu instead of shrimp. I used to have to go to a South Bay pho place to get them. The pho was pretty much the same as most places, but the chicken tasted more fresh. The recipes for many other dishes, such as the chicken wings, were a bit more original more original than other local pho places. It is reasonably priced, and was a good experience all around. I would ask them to add Thai basil to the pho toppings, but it was nice otherwise.

Very good food and excellent service! Is it time to go back yet? We had the sate Noodle soup and garlic noodles with beef. Very good ready to try more things on the menu. Highly recommend this restaurant.

This place was good. The meat in the Pho was excellent, but the broth was a little one note. The egg rolls were more Chinese style than Vietnamese. The service was EXCELLENT and the environment was quite pleasant. It's worth giving it a try for sure, I might just have different preferences when it comes to Pho.
Ordered takeout and it exceeded my expectations! As a vegetarian I'm always looking for fresh veg options and the pho did not disappoint. The broth was very flavorful, vegetables crisp, and overall delicious. My only critique was not including sriracha or soy sauce in the takeout bag. I look forward to ordering again soon!

Best pho ever! Fantastic flavor! And the staff is incredible and attentive. Highly recommend!

The servers are attentive and friendly. The food is flavorful. Finally, a Vietnamese that serves more than just soup and grilled entrees. I hope they will expand their menu or have specials. My daughter and I dined for lunch. The prices are decent and the portions are big. We ordered their Grilled Mussels appetizer. It was finger licking good. You must add the lime sauce and sriracha to give it a kick. I make this at home and I was surprised they have this on the menu. WAHOO!!! Next, I ordered the grill pork over rice instead of the pork chop. It reminded me of my mom's cooking. Loved it! My daughter ordered the five spiced chicken... OMG... crispy skin and juicy chicken. This will be our spot for Vietnamese food. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're in the area.

I leave 2 stars because this place is $2-4 more for a bowl of pho than all the other places within 2 miles of here but the pho is soooo bland. Service was great, they were super nice so i hope they see this and improve their pho because it is super flavorless.
