Best Pho in town. The meat balls are delicious and their Pho is consistently delicious and hits the spot.

I have to be honest, the food was a real disappointment. Despite adequate service, the dishes I ordered were shockingly bland and lacked any authentic flavor. It's hard to believe how tasteless everything was. Even the condiments were a problem - far too salty and generally trash, like how do you mess up the condiments too?!?? This was not a pleasant dining experience, and I won't be returning. They better get their things together before they shut down. nobody else was there, no one is rushing yall. Cook it better. read more

Hadn't been here in a while. Got the vermicelli bowl! It was so fresh.... great flavors! I got the combo so it had chicken, beef and shrimp! Huge bowl of yummy foods. We'll go again soon! Service was great, too. read more

Parking was easy because it has its own little outside parking lot. Inside is a smaller mom and Pop feeling restaurant. They had a TV playing scenery. Simple tables and chairs. Refer to my photo for reference. They have a decent amount of options on the menu! I ordered the beef Bulgogi and enjoyed it a lot! It was not as fatty, and that is the way I like it, even though most people prefer fatty meat. I would totally come here again! Service wise I have no complaints. The server was attentive. The pricing for the food was appropriate. There is a one room bathroom. read more

Food still not good. Gave it another opportunity because my son wanted to go n also we're limited on options around here. Ordered; Shrimp chow main 0/5 greasy n to much soy sauce. The banh meh 1/5 with 2 or 3 pieces of meat. The Pat Thai 2/5 so greasy The dumplings are the only basic thing. I mean can u mess up. Again regret it. Can't with this place read more

I could have sworn I posted a review already but not seeing it, so here we go... Third time here, second time getting to eat. First time we got here a little late and it was their opening day so they sold out. The prices are a little higher than you'd see in like San Jose, or LA, but there aren't any Asian stores nearby to get the supplies as quickly and easily as the larger cities. Both times we got pho and the beef bibimbap, or hot stone rice bowl as they call it. First time we got the egg rolls for appetizer, this time we went with Kpop spicy wings. Both are delicious and I'll be getting both again in the future. The soup and bibimbap have great flavor, don't forget to ask for the sweet soy sauce and watch that hot stone bowl sizzle! This is the perfect spot on a rainy day. Can't wait to see their full menu soon. read more

I don't come here for the pho. I come here for the rice. The hot stone fried rice or the beef bulgogi are really delicious, especially when the rice at the bottom of the stone bowl is crunchy. read more

Been eyeing this place ever since seeing the "Coming Soon" banner waving in front of the building in mid-November 2022. Now that it's officially open, I'm certainly glad there is some variety from the Mexican-centric and fast food restaurants surrounding it in LB. Noodles Pho U serves mainly Vietnamese dishes with a sprinkling of various Asian cuisines (Korean, Filipino, etc.). We went when the menu was more limited, and the only things being served were: Appetizers - Egg rolls - tteokbokkki (Korean rice cakes) - 2 types of Korean chicken wings (spicy or soy garlic) Noodle Soup - Pho rib - Pho brisket - Pho combo (brisket, meatball, tripe, tendon) Stone Bowl Rice - Chicken - Beef - Pork Drinks - Cans of soda for 1.99 each We came on a Friday for lunch. We were seated immediately (luckily beating the rush!), and ordered the following: - Soy garlic wings (8 pc) - came with a side of shaved cabbage with a sweet Japanese mayo dressing. One of the flats was criminally tiny, but the taste and crisp of the chicken was great. - Pho combo - broth was very star anise/cinnamon forward and hit the spot. Came with a decent amount of meat. I also wished the default veggie plate that comes with pho had Thai basil instead of cilantro. - Stone bowl rice w pork - delicious crispy rice but not enough meat proportion. Overall our 3 items came out to $50 pre-tax. Service was fine. I hope to visit again when their menu expands (peeped a 'Boba' sign on the side of the building, but asking the waitress she said it isn't on the menu yet)! read more

bad flavor when opened, and tried coming back later to give it another shot and food and environment are still lacking. They are just as stingy as their counterpart restaurant Sugoi. The other Pho spot is miles better, more affordable and doesn't skimp out on ingredients. read more

This is the second time eating at Noodles Pho U. The first time I went the food was okay but this time I got the Hot bowl fried rice with chicken. It came with a cup of soup. It was better in flavor than the meatball soup that I had the previous time. Only thing is the food here lacks flavor. I had to spice it up with sriracha and the hoisin sauce. The inside is always clean and the derive is great for only having 1 person. I would just recommend they include a spice level on their food options. read more

Noodles Pho U - The hot bowl fried chicken. - Vietnamese Near Me - Los Banos, California

It was DEAD when we went on a Friday during lunch. Only us in the restaurant. I don't know why because it was really good. If you like fries, get the fries. It's the seasoned ones. Crunchy, hot and yummy. Also got the Korean fried chicken. Not too spicy. Ask for LIGHT sauce because it's drenched. I also got the bulgogi bowl. Really good. So was the boba. Definitely would go back. read more

Food was good and prepared pretty quick. Staff was nice I am going back tonight. Had a noodle plate and egg rolls the first night think I'll try the soup this time read more

Apparently I didn't prepare a review after my first visit a few months ago. So here we go. The first time around my youngest son and I needed some Pho in a bad way. My family and I have also been waiting with bated breath for this place to open as soon as we heard the rumor it was coming. Then the sign went up and felt like a really cruel joke as it took forever to open. Then finally, I saw on a FB group that they were announcing their "soft opening". I let a couple weeks go by in case there were kinks they needed to iron out. I really wanted this place to win my heart..lol! Our first time around we ordered the following: 1. Egg rolls: decent, kinda hard to mess up deep fried eggrolls. 2. Soy Fried Chicken Wings: eh and a tad on the salty side for us. 3. Son ordered the #3 meatball pho, to which he devoured so I took that as he enjoyed it. 4. I ordered the #1 combo pho. Portion was large just as my son's was. It came with a lot of meat. I had asked the waitress if they offered tendon and she said yes which is a huge plus in my book. The broth was rich and flavor was on point. It was so soothing and comforting. The garnish veggies were fresh and vibrant in color and they don't skimp on these goodies which was nice. At that time they were out of the rice cakes dish so was kinda bummed. Who doesn't like a yummy plate of hot tteokbokki? I knew there would be a next time so not too bummed. Fast forward to my second visit. This time I brought my eldest son whom is a vegetarian. We ordered the following: 1. Spicy K-pop fried chicken: I asked for them to be cooked well done and crispy. As I remembered from the last time I visited that was kind of where those wings were lacking aside from the saltiness. These were sticky and delicious. Not salty at all. Came with a side of cabbage slaw. 2. Spring rolls: ordered them minus the shrimp so my son could enjoy. Not that I couldn't just pull the shrimp out if they refused to make the change. She was able to appease my request. 3. Beef Glass Noodle: also known as japchae. Slices of beef were thin enough that I picked them out for my son, so I could eat it. Noodles were nice and slippery. Sauce and seasoned well. The Wood Ear mushrooms they added were a nice touch and welcomed at that! The portion of this dish was also nice. Definitely something that can share if accompanied with other items. 4. Tofu Hot Stone Fried Rice: this came in a hot stone bowl and kept the dish nice and hot the entire time. Came topped with large slices of fried tofu and scrambled egg. It was delicious. Seasoned well and went well with the japchae and my chicken wings. 5. We both had thai teas and it came with boba. Delicious. I like this place because not only does it offer the pho it has korean items on their menu that my family likes. Only thing that disappointed me was when asked if they had rice cakes this day I was told they no longer offer the dish. Isn't enough of a disappointment to write this place off, we will be back. read more

Food is disgusting. This was my second time coming to this place, I got chow mein the first time and it was all oily. thinking that this time maybe they had improved, I ordered sweet and sower pork and it was all sour, Tasted like pure lemon. I'm never coming back to this place again. read more

Walked in to order takeout took about 10-15 minutes pretty good so far. As soon as I got home and tried the pho broth it was super salty I just could not eat it. I also ordered the spring rolls and they were missing any type of herbs? As someone who has tried authentic and amazing pho I would not return here as it is not authentic or good in any way to me. read more

My second time returning and it takes for ever to get waited on and not that busy. Waited a long time for food and came out just warm. Would not return. read more

Tried this place out, I'm not a huge fan of pho but they had a good amount of other options. I ordered Spicy Beef Bulgogi with rice. I really enjoyed it, the level of spice was just right. Our servers were very friendly and attentive. Would come back and try more items on their menu! read more

The beef bulgogi is absolutely delicious ; tender, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. It's always a go-to favorite! However, I've noticed the portions have noticeably shrunk, which is a bit disappointing. Still, the incredible taste keeps me coming back! read more

I was so excited to try this new restaurant as I love Korean food! It was our first time, so we ordered several dishes to split between the five of us. It exceeded my expectations by a lot! My favorite dish was the beef bulgogi over white rice. I added a sunny side egg on top and it was perfectly undercooked so that it would finish cooking when I mixed it into the bowl. SO YUMMY. My second favorites were a tie: the k-pop spicy chicken and the beef sandwich. Both tasted fresh and delicious. We also tried brisket and flank pho, sweet and sour pork, pork fried rice, and beef glass noodles. We were all very full and satisfied after the meal. Service was also great. Super attentive and sweet servers. Happy to accommodate our requests like the added egg and boba to go. Their Thai tea boba is the best boba I've had in town. So excited for this restaurant. I know we'll be back soon for lunch to get some sandwiches! Looking forward to taking out of town friends when they visit as well. A new fave! read more

The food was delicious. First, we tried the eggrolls and we liked that they were crunchy on the outside. We also tried the Kpop spicy wings and they were ok, nothing special in my opinion. The pho had a really good flavor. Nice big bowls too. But the best part was the sizzling rice bowl. I got the chicken and absolutely loved it. I appreciate that staff came around and advised us on how to best enjoy it. I attached a picture of my bowl mixed up. It's currently still in its soft opening so the menu is small. I hope they'll have more when they open. read more

My first time going, there was flies everywhere, and I found a little gnat in my soup. I ended up getting sick after! :)

This review is based off just the pho and customer service. Menus small, easy to read. Pho Combo was just ok. Only serves 1 size bowl, good portion but the broth was lacking in terms of flavor. They have sriracha and hoisin sauce on each table but didn't help much. Chili oil is in the back kitchen but it's not the correct chili oil for Pho. Brisket was sliced too thinly for my liking. A good amount of noodles and meatballs. A few tendons and tripe. Total $18.95. Too expensive for this bowl. 2.5/5 Customer service was good. Seated fast. Food came out just as fast. My waitress checked up on me twice. 4.5/5 Seats 25 - 30 read more

I would recommend coming here especially since we have very limited pho restaurants here in town. We usually dine in San Jose for pho but this restaurant has peaked my interest. The service was good as the waitress kept checking on us. The food came out timely although we were the second customers there. The restaurant was clean and pleasant. My hubby liked the meatball pho. He enjoyed the broth but said the meatballs could be better which is why I put 4 stars and not 5. My 2 sons liked their beef chow mein and chicken katsu. I personally enjoyed the spicy vermicelli noodle bowl. I would definitely recommend eating here. read more

We always stop by when in town. I feel like this is a hidden gem. The Shrimp Chow Mein is amazing and so is the Galbi.

Nice family, the food honestly isn't bad and I never had a bad experience with them. They are quite responsive for help and are always glad to help out. Been hot to go there but during fall and winter I go here quite often! read more

Brand new restaurant and great to see how busy they were at noon when we visited. They seated us, party of seven, right away. Menu is simple but covers the basics so it was really easy to order. The staff is new and we ordered our drinks but had to ask for them after about 20 minutes of them not showing up. We ordered appetizers but they were out of the egg rolls so they subbed them for potstickers. Sadly, they forgot to bring them so we never got to taste them. Maybe next time. The manager (owner?) was extremely personable and greeted each guest at their table. She did a great job making our lunch experience better and for that we will definitely be back. All in all, everything was delicious and we will definitely be back. Happy this business is here. read more

The Pho is amazing and the service was so good!! We will go back for sure! The Bulgogi is excellent! So much to choose from!

I absolutely love the pad Thai from this establishment! I also like the fresh summer rolls but I feel like they need to be bigger and better for the price of if kept the same then lower the price on them. The staff is always friendly and kind and the place is okay. read more

Finally tried out this place! We came in around 12:30, were seated right away, and accommodated with a booth per request. I'm originally from San Jose where Pho is popular and where there's a lot of great shops, so I was weary of trying anything new in the Valley. But I was so impressed with how great this was! Just how I like my pho to be. We ordered and food was out quick. DELICIOUS. I devoured it. It's not too much and not too little. Personally, it was worth $15 (Pho Brisket) considering how expensive other restaurants are. I got my moneys worth, and I'm happy there is only 1 size. We had egg rolls (not pictured) and they were pretty tasty. My husband and I finished each of our bowls. Im glad I don't have to drive out of town to get some great pho The brisket was soft and tore apart so easily which made it easy to eat and toppings were perfect. The ambiance is chill and elegant. Nothing too noisy, and I couldn't hear the kitchen at all. Definitely a place to enjoy time with friends or your partner. Shoutout to the servers for being welcoming and more than accommodating. We will be back ASAP! read more

First time here and food was 4/5. I got the pho and a Thai iced tea. Husband had spicy vermicelli and chow mein. The Thai iced tea was alright, the color and flavor was different than what I've had elsewhere, the chow mein also had a different flavor. Pho and vermicelli were delicious. Service was great! read more

The second experience was as good as the first! Service was right on point! My son had there vegetarian option the tofu fried rice bowl and he was very pleased! I thought I'd change it up some and had the hot stone beef bulgogi and definitely wasn't dissatisfied more than enough portion and very very tasty! I was fortunate to have the chief come and visit my table and he asked me to try one of his sandwiches! I was stoked! I always love taste testing! The sandwich was grilled beef, pickled radishes, carrots, cilantro, lettuce, jalapeños and mayo, with a sweet vinaigrette over it! I was taste testing, but still kind of wondering how much it was? But for now it is ... my favorite 4 letter word..free... I was already full but was definitely looking forward to eating it on my boat the next day! As I suspected it was delicious, but I had a question...How much did it cost if I was to buy one.. $8.95... definitely! Definitely worth the money! It was filling and would make a great lunchtime sandwich option! Igofish2day! read more

We were checking dinner options while driving back to SF from 4 days of camping in Kings Canyon/Sequoia. After great camping food, our taste buds were craving for some familiar comfort food. Planning to quickly get back on 152 , we called ahead with our eta band ordered the chicken pho and tofu vermicelli salad bowl. Easy parking in lot right on the main road. Greeted by friendly wait person who took our order an there were our bowls waiting for us to enjoy! That's service ! The chicken was tender in a hearty pho broth. Cilantro, basil, bean sprouts, jalapeños and half a lime complemented the balance of rice noodles to chicken. The vermicelli salad usually comes with pork spring rolls which I declined. Good to know owner is planning to expand menu to offer more vegetarian options and hopefully to include tofu spring rolls! Salad bowl with sliced fried tofu was complemented with fried garlic, green onions and peanuts hit the spot after a long drive. Attentive and friendly wait person who has been with restaurant since they opened a year ago made for pleasant dining. Clean dining room as well as all gender bathroom. They also had a long list of many boba drinks which didn't try this time. Thai and Korean options along with Vietnamese food are offered in expansive menu. Something for everyone! All in all, an easy and delicious eatery (break from grill options) along 152. read more

$16.95 for Pho in Los Banos when the average pay here is $15-16 an hour. More expensive than San Jose. I'm good - I will wait to have my pho fix when in San José. And if this the same owners as Sugoi Sushi, you guys are the worse! Forcing people to pay for food when your staff messed up means you to do not value your customers nor their loyalty. Pretty much taking advantage of Los Banos residents and their limited choices. That's not cool. read more

I ordered egg rolls, spring rolls, pho and fried rice. Egg rolls were different; not traditional. The spring rolls were okay. The beef pho was below average. The fried rice was great. Overall, this isn't really a good Vietnamese restaurant for Vietnamese eaters. For others, it's probably okay. read more
