    I came here after crashing out on someone ghosting me again lol. There seems to be a theme, the last few reviews are me getting ghosted. Anyway, I stopped here after going to anime impulse because I was craving soup. When I got there there was hella parking, the restaurant was clean, and the service was hella good. The ladies working were hella nice. I ended up getting Bun Bo Hue which was hella fire. Also one of the ladies put the world cup match between france and england. It was nice watching with them like we were hanging out. lol. Well if you think of coming here, you should. Even when I was in my feels, this place brought it up!

    Brisket pho, Tom yum, & summer rolls

    As a certified fake Asian, I can say this place gets my stamp of approval. Growing up more American than Vietnamese, I never appreciated my own culture til way later. Pho definitely took some time to grow on me. Anything ethnic, I'll stay on the safe side. Summer rolls, spring rolls, soup without weird meats, and that's about it. Now that I've had time to mature and marinate in my asian-ness, I now appreciate my culture a lot more. I still don't go outside of my comfort zone because I know what I like. Brisket pho, or thin Sliced beef. The soup was definitely flavorful, nice depth and not a lot of fat/oil. The spring rolls were nice and still crisp through takeout. Summer rolls hit the spot as well. Mr G got a Tom yum I think, no complaints. Ordered through doordash. Everything packed perfectly, no leakage and not missing a thing. I even had the pho in the fridge the first night since the soup came separate. Warmed up next day, no issues, still tasting fresh. Prices were comparable to most vietnamese restaurants and quality was great. Definitely recommend!

    I drove past this place so many times and decided to finally stop by to try them out. This review is based solely on their Bánh mì sandwiches and spring rolls. The Bánh mì sandwiches I tried were both grilled bbq pork and grilled chicken. They are a truly authentic style Bánh mì with all the toppings and crunchy good bread. They marinated the pork and chicken to perfection, you can taste the proteins are very flavorful. I rate them both a solid 9.75/10 and the spring rolls 10/10 (they have a great peanut dipping sauce). Definitely will be my local go to for Bánh mì sandwiches!

    Came here on a Wednesday around 10PM after our concert and we loved it. Found this place here on Yelp and it did not disappoint. The employee who helped us was very nice and was able to answer any questions we had plus give us recommendations. Inside was very clean and well lit, felt modern and welcoming. We got our food not long after we ordered and it tasted delicious. Broth was great and the meat just melts in your mouth. Portion is very good for the price you pay as well. Overall great experience, can't wait to come back again!

    Grilled Pork Chop with Egg Over Rice

    Short Rib Noodle Soup has been advertised on social media months ago and I don't know if they still promote it. I guess that the hyped went down overtime. I've been wanting to try it for a while now and now's it's a good time to do that. I heard that ribs are supposed to fall off easily based from what I saw but unfortunately it didn't. I spent minutes trying to rip the meat off into pieces with a fork and knife, and it was very difficult. Sometimes, I can't get some meat off, and instead had to normally eat the ribs with my own hands. It got to the point that a small portion of the soup spilled because of how tough the meat is. Good thing that it wasn't the whole soup, which would have been a lot worse. Despite all that, the short ribs are really good, but I wish the meat is tender just like what I saw online when the meat easily falls off from the bone. The rocket shrimp eggrolls are really good. I was quite interested with it because of how it's named. Anyways, I don't think I'll be ordering that pho again just because of how hard it is to cut the meat, but I'll just try other dishes in my future visits. Just be careful when trying to cut the rib meat. Hopefully, they will do something about making the ribs more tender.

    Chicken Noodle Soup

    Grilled chicken Banh mi was delicious. My husband had the seafood soup and I had the chicken noodle. Delicious, we will definitely be coming back!

    I came here for lunch, and I thought the food was pretty mid. I always get the brisket pho whenever I go to a Vietnamese restaurant, and this one was just ok. The brisket wasn't very tender. The broth was just ok, too. The portion size is big, but I wouldn't come back here. The service was friendly, and it was very clean.

    Short Rib Noodle Soup (Bone-In)
    Mia C.

    Absolutely delicious! The beef rib pho was amazing -- the ribs were huge, super tender, and literally falling off the bone. They definitely don't hold back on the meat! The broth was rich, flavorful, and comforting without being too heavy, and the noodles had the perfect texture.Everything came out fresh and looked just as good as it tasted. The portion was very generous and definitely worth the price. If you're a beef lover, I highly recommend the beef rib pho. I'll definitely be coming back to try more dishes!

    My tasty 25. Seafood Rice Noodle Soup
    Tanya T.

    Broth was great in my seafood pho. Service was prompt and our food was out quickly. We had several dishes which looked good by way of presentation. Tofu and calamari were very crunch and the calamari was an almost clean bite with the elusive string of calamari bite that would always take forever to sever. Towards the end of our lovely meal, at the bottom of one of our bowls, was a little bug. Dead and lifeless. My partner approached the lady at the front about the bug, which was now on a napkin. The lady awkwardly laughed and said its because theres a lot of flies back there and offered a $5 discount and free jelly. Just for the bug alone, I will not recommend this place. Vibe and everything else is fine. Its sad to say that because it was a really promising place. Go at you own risk.

    Vietnamese coffee

    Found this place because of instagram. And they close late. Even better. But we came for lunch. There is plenty of parking. It's right next to a sushi place. There are plenty of tables. We were seated right away. Service was great! We loved our pho and the viet coffee has its kick. We will be back!

    Grill pork & egg roll vermicelli
    Nhan C.

    This is my first time here. The staffs are friendly. I have the grill pork & egg roll vermicelli & grill quail. The fish sauce for my dish is just right. The price is reasonable. The atmosphere is nice. I would come back to try other dishes.

    Short rib pho. Dynamite.
    Ran D.

    Excellent short rib pho. Tender meat on the brontosaurus bone! Very good broth, no oil floating on top. Sweeter than the usual broth, and though I prefer savory, it was extremely flavorful and good -- especially after I put my herbs, lemon, and siracha into it. The shaking beef was also very good. It was a great filet mignon with veggies. Not over sauced, but flavored right. The service is very good, very and friendly. They're open late, so they're perfect for late night cravings.

    Sugoi!

    Excellent service , jayden quoc lac gave excellent service he moves efficiently and he let me eat my food off of his belly and then let us play the drums with it after. Definitely recommend this spot i would come here more often! Tables and lighting is pretty nice.

    Again I ordered #35, beef stew, and #3. Sandwich (chicken)…read more Still the best beef stew in Newark, CA. Fast service and friendly staff. Only $35 for this order during lunch.

    The Sour Bì Was the Last Straw…read more I've had both good and bad experiences with Pho Newark Com Tam Thanh over time, and for a while I considered it a decent, average place to grab Vietnamese food in the area. I also tend to give restaurants multiple chances before leaving a negative review because I understand that every place can have an off day. Unfortunately, I've now seen enough of a pattern that I'm done. Today I ordered the Combination Cơm Tấm and was utterly disappointed by the drop in quality. The bì (shredded pork skin) smelled sour and was completely mushy, despite the meal having just been purchased. It genuinely seemed spoiled, and I couldn't bring myself to eat it. The pork chop was bland and overly fatty, the fish sauce was nothing special, and the bánh mì was extremely disappointing as well. This wasn't an isolated issue either. On another visit, I found a hair in my food. And on some evenings, a staff member would clean the floors with such a strong bleach-smelling cleaner while customers were still eating that the chemical smell completely took over the dining area. Trying to enjoy a meal while your nose is full of cleanser is not exactly appetizing. I don't write a bad review because of one mediocre dish. I give places multiple tries because I want to be fair. But when the unpleasant experiences keep repeating, eventually it stops feeling like bad luck and starts looking like a quality-control problem. The sour-smelling, mushy bì today was the final straw. I can forgive average food. I'm not gambling with spoiled pork skin. Nope, nope. I'm done.

    Pretty good veggie pho. I think the spring rolls were my favorite though…read more Great service in a clean, comfortable space. The location is convenient and it was easy to find parking. I mean, what more could I ask for after a long day?

    TWO PHOS AND TWO RICE PLATES…read more The first time I came here was about a couple of months ago for Sunday dinner with my family. I'm not a fan of pho so I decided to order a rice plate, which was Combo Plate #2 that included one grilled pork and two fried chicken wings. The rice plate I ordered was ok. Even though the chicken wings were cooked inside the meat tasted bland. I wasn't planning to come back here anytime soon. On the menu however I saw a pho item that consisted of chicken quarters. The next time I came here was a couple of days later for lunch. I ordered the pho with chicken quarters. With the addition of the ginger scallion sauce the dish is basically Hainan chicken pho. I've had this type of pho at another eatery and is the best chicken soup I've ever had. Since the chicken isn't shredded, the meat isn't dry. Usually for Hainan chicken I would dip the chicken in the ginger scallion sauce. I did something different for the first time. I added the scallion ginger sauce in the broth. This brought more flavor to the broth. I'd rather have scallion ginger sauce in the broth than sriracha. I'm not a fan of pho. Having the chicken quarters pho provided me a different perspective on pho. When I started having pho I would order get rare steak and beef tendon. What I noticed is that the rare steak changes the texture of the broth, which becomes murky. Maybe that's why I never craved for pho. I find well done beef atrocious. After having the chicken quarters pho I thought why not try the well done brisket. About week later I ordered the well done brisket pho for lunch. From the outset I noticed the broth from the well-done pho is clearer than any beef pho before. How did the broth taste? The broth was the best tasting pho with beef ingredients. I think that has to do with not having raw slices of beef. The blood from the raw beef makes the broth murky. Since the brisket was well-done there was no blood that made the broth cloudy. Also the flavor of the broth enhanced due to the fat from the brisket. The well-done brisket give me a different perspective on pho. Maybe in the future I just order well-done brisket for pho. My last visit I had another rice plate. As I already ordered the chicken leg quarters pho I wanted to try the rice plate version. This dish is Pho Nation's version of Hainan chicken. Even though the scallion ginger was served this dish is different from Hainan chicken as chicken at Pho Nation is steamed and served hot. I ate two phos and two rice dishes. Normally at pho eateries I tend to like the rice dishes more, but at Pho Nation I enjoyed the phos more. If I want to eat pho with a clear yet tasty broth I would come to Pho Nation for either the chicken quarters or well-done brisket pho.
