Yellow wonton noodles tasted terrible, very small portion for the price, my teenage kids said the same when they tried Pho.

This place was horrible!! We wanted Thai so we decided to stop when in town and I ordered the black bean noodles they were bland and just over cooked them my son ordered the fry noodles and it was burnt they didn’t charge us for the burnt noodles the spring rolls were boring and small the peanut sauce was good but we had to take the sauce from the dumplings and add it to the black bean to make it edible , definitely never coming here again

It is not comparable to bay area pho, but it is still delicious and hits the spot when craving cozy bowl of pho. I will frequent pho house to ensure it stays open. I was so sad when 831 viet closed on mission st back in 2017. so happy to finally have a pho restaurant back in town!!the baby gimbob was rly yummy, and the pho #1 was good too. I ate way too fast. the owner (?) was very nice and sweet :) i felt happy to be supporting his business when i learned how nice he was.

I've tried this place three times. That's because I'm lazy, and I live a couple of blocks down the street, so it's within walking distance for me; the location is excellent and convenient. I would give it four half stars only if they had just loaded the dish. I'm telling you, man, load it up. People will come back. Do not be stingy with the noodles, the food, the meat. I've seen other noodle houses that taste terrible, but the people constantly return because of the enormous portions. And the size of the bowl helps, too. I mean, we're talking about the extra-large white bowl. That's not even the food I'm talking about. It's bizarre! This PHO house can be better only if they don't be stingy with the ingredients. I don't mind paying a shit ton of money, but you have to give me a lot of portion for the amount of money that I'm paying. also, to be completely honest, I don't care too much about the fancy silver chrome plated plastic utensil I'm more focused on the volume of the order. I feel like I had to order like two orders just to fill me up. I'm not trying to be negative, but thanks for your time and thanks for reading. That's just my opinion.

The Pho here is over priced. We ordered the #1 pho which was suppose to include steak, meatballs and tendon. When our pho came the portion was really small and we only got a few pieces of steak- no tendons or meatballs as stated on the menu. The garnish on the side was slim pickings. Overpriced and not very tasty.

The pho wasnt good at all. Paid $65 for 2 spice noddle soups when the food isnt even seasoned. Didnt come with limes or no garnish. I do not recommend.

Cool spot. Good food and service. The pan fried ramen was a little oily for me but incredibly flavorful. Spring rolls also great.

I got delivery. And it was super good i got the rare beef, meatball (subbed for pork), and katsu it was all good but the rare beef was cooked but it all tasted great I also got the bimbap and it was like a really good sushi roll with pickled veggies egg... we also got the wonton soup (5/10) could of had more flavorful broth and needs some meat also wontons where doughy at the top and had a thick wrapper

I hate to do this to a korean owner, but i hope they see this and make changes. One server.in the front is ridiculous for a.restaurant that size.I ordered pho and it took 25min to come out and there were.only 3 other tables. Is this a proper pho restaurant? Broth should be ready and served in less than 5. Portion was tiny, broth taste was below average and had no depth.Owner needs to work on new recipe.I may delete this in a year. Hope owner reads and makes changes
