I really like this Pho spot as they actually put a lot of meat in their pho. More meat than most other pho spots which is appreciated ! The broth is good and the bowl size is good. Their goi cuon is tasty as well. I want to try some of their rice and noodle plates as well. read more

Cold weather called for pho soup. We wanted to check out a Vietnamese restaurant in the neighboring area of Gilroy that we have not had yet. We arrived at M Noodle & Cafe for a Friday dinner recently. The restaurant is located in a small plaza off Monterey Road and 10th street in Gilroy. Parking is accessible in the medium size parking lot. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is an adequate size with plenty of tables for dine in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is a cultural modern decor that gave an authentic ambience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe was family friendly and welcoming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have been around for over 6 years now. We ordered vermicelli with bbq pork and shrimp, beef ball noodle, and a beef stew with tendon. Everything was delicious. The broth was warm and flavorful. The tendon beef and bbq pork was tender and juicy. Overall we enjoyed our experience at M Noodle & Cafe. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Our food came out quick and the price point was fair. We hope to be back when we are in the area. read more

This place was so kind to take our party of 8 forty mins before they closed. Although I had my heart set on the vermicelli soup (they ran out of this noodle) I ordered the combo wonton and egg noodle bowl instead. And it was delicious especially after being outside on a cold night. The servings are very generous as 6 out of 8 of us had to take it home. Plus everyone really liked their soup as well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Seems like this is a family owned place as if it felt like I was visiting their home and receiving some homecooking.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It is funny that they still have a Now Open sign outside though when I saw that the first review was 7 years ago. But I guess technically they are now open. lol read more

Large portions of standard Vietnamese fare in a no-frills setting. While the flavors are exactly as you'd expect (a good thing!), service could be improved. Our server never checked on us again after taking our order (another staff member dropped off our Vermicelli Noodle Bowls), and completely forgot our Milk Tea. Even after tracking him down to remind him, he didn't get it to our table until we were nearly finished eating, so we ended up taking it to go. read more

Authentic Vietnamese food out in Gilroy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Good sized interior dining room that was clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Had the bun thit nuong (grilled pork over vermicelli rice noodles). The grilled pork was very flavorful and the noodle bowl was large. They also have Boba drinks. I tried a Matcha and it was only average. Not great service as there was one guy making the drinks, manning the cash register, and attending to the dining room. But overall, a great healthier option if you're on a road trip passing through the area. read more

A good pho restaurant is hard to find in Gilroy. This establishment is a hidden gem. At the very south end of Gilroy you would not see it if you just drove by. However the Pho and spring rolls were excellent. Good size menu with lots of selections. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a hole on the wall in a small strip mall but parking is ample and the interior has comfortable seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Worth a try if you are in Gilroy and have a hankering for Pho read more

Delicious! Would recommend this place to anyone. Cravings satisfied. Next to try is their Pho! read more

Last week I was craving pad thai, nothing was around except for this place... BIG Mistake! Don't order Pad Thai from here. First off, it had no thai spices, lacked any flavor but was a sticky mess of congealed brown peanut butter paste that left me unimpressed and ashamed people call this Thai... a lime wedge would have been nice, but the lemon added a classy swing of inconsistency from traditional padthai... Put your 20$ elsewhere, I would not feed this to my dog. read more

Very friendly staff and great Vietnamese food. I got the Hu Tieu with wontons and a side of eggrolls. Hu Tieu was huge so I ended up splitting it with my son. I normally cook my own soups but wanted a mommy and son day and this restaurant did not disappoint! read more

Came for the pho and it was okay, but lackluster compared to other pho spots in town. We also ordered a couple of egg rolls that were pretty good. We were greeted (presumably) by the owner who seemed personable and happy to host his customers, it gave the restaurant a welcoming and hospitable vibe. The food was fine but the prices did NOT reflect the quality. I will come back if I need to get something that is open later in the evening -- unlike the other pho spots in town-- but I think I'll try a different dish next time! read more

This is my go-to when im in Gilroy, but yesterday was a disappointment for myself. I ordered a wonton noodle soup, with only chicken as a protein and asked if the wontons had shrimp I was told NO 2x but come to find out they did have shrimp and they also added so much beef into my soup (which I don't like) I ended up picking out so much food from my soup. I also ordered some pork spring rolls and that was a disappointment as well the pork meat was so bland, it wasn't even grilled. I will just stick to my chicken pho read more

So, after I got my SMOG certificate done, I decided to get some Vietnamese food. Thus, I got on my trusty YELP app and did a search. This place came up and figured I'd give it a try. I ordered the "Rice Vermicelli w/BBQ pork & egg roll $16.65. Pretty good and VERY filling! The egg roll was cook well, crispy but it kind of tasty doughy so kind of let down. Anyways, it's a cozy mom and pop's kind of place so give them a try and support your local small business! Also, their restroom was decent which is a fair reflection of the establishment. The waitress was nice as she served a Hispanic couple next to me trying to practice her Espanyol! Muy bien. This is nice here in California when people of different ethnicities try to practice or learn other languages. read more

Great service, but some dishes are way to greasy. My to-go order chow mein with veggies had a gallon of grease. It was like a grease soup.

#23 flat rice noodle/wonton combo with shrimp, beef slices, and beef ball - tasty and big portion. Quick service. Friends ordered #30 and #35, and enjoyed their food. Place was nearly full around Sunday 2pm. Not easy to find though while routing via Google maps (shopping strip behind vacant grass lot). read more

Opening line: This look like a family owned pho place with a touch of fusion. Food are more of comfort food. Here is my scoring card for this restaurant: 1) Location: ( 5 Point ) - Great location for customer to see and find. Great parking for street parking and back side with parking lot parking. 2) Decoration : (2 Point) - They still have the original decoration. Clean but not up to date. 3) Price: ( 4 point)- The price is competitive but still a little bit pricey compare to other same stars and type food they serve 4) Quality and Taste : ( 3 point)- The quality is ok, food taste is good and portions are below average . 5) Type of cuisine standard : ( 4 point) - The style of Vietnamese food they serve is pretty close to the way it was prepare in Vietman . Not bad! But some dishes did have slightly modify to cater the customer's need Overall it's not bad and I thinks it's great to give it a try and let me know what you think.

Fast service. Food arrived to the table quickly after ordering. I enjoyed the noodle soup with beef broth. They only reason why I give them a 4 star not 5 is because the spoons are terrible small and uncomfortable to use. Makes it very hard to fully enjoy. It falls and gave me hand cramps. read more

Review is based on an order placed Sunday evening. I called in an order which I was told would take about 15 minutes. I arrived just short of 20 mins to my order ready and waiting. My son was a fan of their combination chow mein until now. The noodles were crunchy and dry and the chow mein itself lacked flavor. The meat in the dish was tough and chewy, not what we've previously experienced. I ordered the combination #23 soup and the sliced meat in that was chew and tough as well. At this point I'm disappointed in the quality of food I was given. I'm really hoping this was a fluke today as M Noodle was my favorite. read more

We got a hankering for some Vietnamese food on the way back from Pinnacles NP and found this restaurant thanks to Yelp. Really good food. We had the beef stew dish and fried rice, both good, and spring rolls, reasonably good. Service was efficient and the place was bright and pleasant - our only complaint about the environment would be the menus. Not the contents, but the outside of them - they were dirty and smudged and needed to be wiped down. Aside from that relatively minor issue, our one criticism would be the prices, although these are offset to a degree by the ample portions. Overall, we were quite pleased and wouldn't hesitate to return when we are in Gilroy again. read more

M Noodle & Cafe is in a little strip mall with a spot in the back of the mall. So a little sketch with not a lot of cars in the back so you kind of wonder if you should go in. Well, go in if you want tasty, inexpensive, large plates of food. We were pleasantly surprised by this family-run operation. Hefty portions of noodles and made on premises smoothies. We had: - Vietnamese Bun with Grilled Pork, Egg Rolls, Rice Noodles with Sauce on the Side - Pan Fried Noodles topped with a Combo of Shrimp, Chicken, and Beef in a Garlic Sauce Both were tasty with a lot of pork in the bun while the fried noodle dish was a gigantic plate with lots of noodles and toppings in a garlic sauce. Tough looking but very friendly waiter. Apologies for the blurry pics which was due to the steam coming off the hot dishes. read more

TLDR: Good chicken rice. Decent chicken pho. Location, Location, Location! In this case, being the one of the few (or in fact, only?) Vietnamese restaurant in Gilroy, it's a HUGE deal. So, the rating and review has to be adjusted accordingly. Let's just say, if you are in Gilroy AND you have a HUGE HANKERING for vietnamese, this should hit the spot. Not like you got much choices, eh? The place was clean, but there were tons of flies all over the place. It's because it was hot that day, and they don't have AC. They instead kept all the doors open, and had fans blowing everywhere. This is NOT a place you'd want to take a date. I really liked my chicken plate. Although... truthfully, I did see some a weird tiny beige ant, crawling from underneath my salad. So... with that and having to wave my hands to scare the flies, kinda put a damper on my enjoyment. I had to constantly watch my food, lifting every piece of veggie carefully, to ensure I didn't eat any "extra protein". I usually like to just eat without a care in the world, but not this time. But the chicken itself was cooked very well, it was juicy and the sauce was very flavorful and sweet. They might have added some honey to it? Not sure, but it's sweeter than even teriyaki. My wife had the chicken pho. She read some previous reviews about MSG, but if anything, her soup NEEDED some MSG. She said it was pretty bland and tasteless. She had to add some soy sauce to hers. And if there's one thing you should know about my wife, she LIKES bland food. But she said the chicken was also cooked well, not dry at all. And they gave a lot of noodles, which she likes. It's just the soup base was meh. All in all... because it's the only Vietnamese place in the city, it gets 4 stars. Food quality was decent, and the price was reasonable for the portion size. But if this place was in heart of Little Saigon in San Jose, this place would probably be 2 or 3 stars. read more
