A pretty decent family owned Vietnamese restaurant. It’s been a while we saw traditional dripping coffee, so we really liked it. The taste was authentic.For the food, we ordered one Shrimp spring rolls, one Grilled pork ball spring rolls and one Pho Tai. Pho was decent, the broth was just okay. The other two dishes were good. But, I agreed the price was quite expensive compared to other Vietnamese restaurants I have tried.I think they kinda lack of staff because one lady took the job of waiter + cashier + preparing drinks, one uncle served food and cleaned up tables, and there seemed to be only one chef. Thus, it took a bit of time for food to be served. But, the lady was very nice. She chatted with us for a bit while serving our drinks and during checkout.Kid-friendliness: Kid’s high chairs and plastic utensils

Surprisingly decent pho. The broth was nice and delicious. Noodles were good. The meat was decent. Very minimalist setvice. Not outrageously proved. Will definitely come back.

Gave this restaurant a shot since i work around the area. And to my surprise, this place is pretty good! I ordered a Pho Thai. Broth was pretty good and the meat was thinly sliced. The consistency with the noodles was also good. Service is was good. The food got to my table pretty quick. Water came with ice . The restaurant was really clean inside with about 10-15 tables. The only issue i had was finding parking due to the location. Otherwise, i will definitely go ahead if im craving some Pho.

Unassuming family restaurant, fast service and food was tasty! Pho could have had more flavor (used to beef bone marinating in there) but the pho def hit the spot for an itchy throat. Their hot tea was really nice too. Defo check it out if you’re in the peninsula side. Also brew coffee across the street !Kid-friendliness: High chairWheelchair accessibility: Ground level

I want to like this place, but the past two times I have been there I have found hair in my food, the food tastes good, but the inside is a little dirty, plates and tables are sticky, feels cold. Good for takeout.

How many years have I been coming here and only today learned they have a parking lot?! Food is delicious and fresh as always, the family who run the restaurant are delightful.

I've been eating pho here for almost 10 years and the quality has remained great. The prices are good and the service is quick even when ordering delivery. Space is super simple. Recommend for a comfort meal

Love a family owned. Open on a Monday surprisingly! Open a little later than most places. Was craving soup on a cold night and this is where we ended. Quick service. You pay at the counter when you are done. Its not close to home but worth the drive. Check them out.

Unassuming little Vietnamese restaurant among mostly Central American faire on Middlefield in North Fair Oaks. I didn't initially have high expectations going in for that reason, but figured Yelp rating were a good sign. It was actually hopping during a midweek lunch service which was nice to see despite the ongoing street construction/development project and its impact on street parking. (Street parking isn't that bad if one doesn't mind driving around a bit and walking a block or two.) Mom and pop who run the place seem to have their own place and don't always get what I was asking, but they get the job done with quiet determination and responsibilities of running a restaurant for neighborhood restaurant for so many years. Pho was not at the amazing level but hit the spot. Had sausage spring rolls as an appetizer which were done right. Now that I live near by, happy to add this to my regular lunch rotation.

Solid pho Despite its unassuming appearance, they make good pho. Got the hometown special which contains all the meats plus ribs. All the meat was tender and the large was more than enough for me. Broth had good flavor and they provided the usual sprouts and basils (which I learned in the Bay Area is not always a given). They only had fake sriracha so I opted for the spicy chili oil which actually paired quite nicely.

This pho place tastes authentic and is a solid choice for those looking for good pho and spring rolls. The egg rolls I wouldn't order again but the number 13 and spring rolls . The service is fast efficient and friendly enough. If you're looking for ambiance however this isn't your type of place.
