10. Rare Steak, Well Done Flank and Tripe
Rissy L.

As the weather is getting colder, we crave pho even more. Came back to our fav pho and got my usual pho with flank and tripes. Supper yummy and warms up our tummy.

This pho hits the spot! The place has so many seating and I love the layout of the menu. Staff were welcoming and nice. I ordered the brisket pho and it was so good. The meat was tender and they are not stingy with the noodles. I think I found my new Pho spot near me.

Vegetable pho with vegetable broth 29. Vegetable Pho
Mary G.

Pho #1 is on the rotation of handful of pho places from Mid-Peninsula to South Bay that my family enjoy, especially my elder Dad who loves his seafood pho and spring roll. Whenever errands take me to Sunnyvale, I will stop by to order to go or if dad is with me, dine in. During this visit, I ordered the vegetarian pho with vegetable broth. There was such umami flavor that I didn't miss having animal protein. They were not stingy with veggies, which were cooked tender crisp not mushy. I've enjoyed their chicken, beef & seafood phos too. Their broths are very comforting, especially on a cold, windy day. Always request an extra small bowl because portions are generous to share or enjoy an extra meal at home.

Good pho! Service is really fast, no wait time and the food came out within 10 minutes. A good classic family restaurant will definitely come again!

24. Beef Stew with Bread
Tiffany T.

Food: Beef stew: 4.7/5. This was very delicious. It was served at the perfect temperature, very rich with spices like star anise, and floating pieces of tender beef. It was on the sweeter side for a beef stew but nonetheless really yummy! The accompanying piece of bread was also toasted well. Service: Polite and quick! Overall: This place is pretty clean, with quick service. I'd recommend getting #24 beef stew with bread. Would come here again!

2. Short Rib Pho
Jonathan S.

Came here for dinner. Got the short rib pho, filet mignon and tripe pho, and korean short ribs rice plate. Food was good. Pho was pretty standard. They only have one size but overall good quantity of meat and noodles. Service was good and standard. Nothing to complain about. Ambiance is very old school pho restaurant. I'd come again.

10. Rare Steak, Well Done Flank and Tripe Pho
Anh T.

I came here with several friends during a holiday weekend; the restaurant was around 1/3 full. I was seated in an area where the tables and chairs were a bit too close to each other, but I enjoyed the beautiful scenic paintings of Vietnam around the restaurant. I ordered #10 - Rare Stake, Well Done Flank, and Tripe pho. The order came out in a timely manner along with its normal garnishes. There was a good proportion of noodles to meat, and the broth was delicious! The pho here was yummy for a cold winter day, and this manages to stay as one of my favorite spots of pho in Sunnyvale.

56. Grilled Pork Slices Plate
Cindy L.

Cute spot, yummy food, and quick service! We got the com thit nuong (grilled pork slices plate) and the wonton soup with rice noodles. I asked for the wontons on the side so they could stay extra crispy!

Lemonade soda
Jammie C.

This has been my go to Pho place for years! Food is consistently good and flavorful. The place is always clean, plus the service is excellent and quick!

Grilled short ribs, and combo 1 pho
Sharky S.

Amazing Service and Delicious Food! I had such a great experience at Pho #1 today! The food was fresh, flavorful, and comforting the pho broth was rich and aromatic, and the grilled beef with rice and salad was perfectly seasoned. The Thai tea was also super refreshing! Our server, Nhung, was absolutely wonderful friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. She checked in often, gave great menu recommendations, and made our meal feel really welcoming and enjoyable. Overall, this is easily one of the best Vietnamese spots in the area. Great food, great service, and a relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend stopping by and asking for Nhung!

#2 Pho short rib - Added beef ball
Chio S.

Food was absolutely amazing! We came here after watching a YouTube review and honestly, it's become our new favorite spot. Totally worth the hype! We ordered the #2 pho -- the short rib pho -- and added beef balls. We also tried the chicken wings and a grilled pork banh mi. Every dish was flavorful and satisfying. At first, we were a little skeptical, trusting an influencer's recommendation, but this place did not disappoint. We'd 100% make the trip again -- and we already find ourselves craving it!

Pho is so good has a great cinnamon taste I can eat it everyday if I wanted to service is super fast and friendly !
Teresita V.

PHO IS SO GOOD has a good cinnamon taste ! Fast service super friendly ! Spring rolls are so good and the peanut sauce is amazing I recommend 10/10

14 (well done flank, lean brisket, rare steak)
Kyle S.

Above average pho - strong flavor in the soup and a large portion of meat which was the highlight. Food came out in around 10 minutes with Hoisin & Sriracha sauces, basil, mint, cilantro, bean sprout, and lime. Service was on the slower side, just one server for the restaurant which wasn't too busy. Had to walk up to the counter to pay when we were done which I didn't mind. Restaurant has broad Vietnamese menu options (appetizers, banh mi, pho, soup, vermicelli bowls, rice plates), was relatively clean, and had nice artwork on the wall. I think the lighting brings down the mood a bit but overall a fine and calm place to eat! Price is $15-18 for main dishes plus tax and tip. Came out to around $21 per person w/o drinks

The Galbi Jjim is why we come here. I have mixed feelings about it…read more It is quite good - it's an absolute flavor bomb, and I do enjoy it, especially with that sauce all over rice. The beef is mixed quality though. IMO the quality is significantly lower than Daeho - it's often tougher/dryer, more cartiledge-y bits (I know that's a plus for some, it's not something I grew up with). The meat is fine. The veggies are decent. I am sad there are like, only 3 doekbokki noodles in it. So overall, I prefer Daeho (slightly better sauce, better meat), but because Daeho doesn't deliver to me all the way from Milpitas, this is the 2nd best place for galbi jjim that I'm aware of, and I still order from here when I'm craving it.

I do recommend adding an egg, especially because the lamb chop was small. As a person who tries to get more protein in, the pieces of lamb are delicious but small. The sauce was delicious and great with rice. The seaweed soup was refreshing and cleansed my palate, since the dish is pretty oily. Make sure it to eat it quickly because it will get cold. The wood ear mushroom salad was refreshing! I tried my friend's seaweed salad and it was yummy. The food is pretty oily towards the end, so it js important to be aware of that if you have a sensitive stomach. I would come again and try the soup!

It's my 3rd time here and the quality of the banchans and food has remained consistent. I've tried the mixed tofu soup, Wagyu Galbi and this visit I tried their Wagyu bulgogi. Also tried their appetizers: snow crab twigim, black cod twigim. These were fried well and came with 2 dips- preferred the garlic one. Appetizers are a good portion to share between 2 people but more than that you'll have to order extra. Everything was seasoned well. Love how they have a banchan cart that comes by regularly to refill any banchans you want. Service is great.

TLDR: Expensive, taste is ALMOST worth it…read more This place is CRAZY expensive. Even with the premium ingredients, it's still a little bit overvalued, I think. Unlimited banchan.... lots of places has those. Some of the banchan are little-seen in other places, yeah. But I feel like most of the menu is there just to upsell... So take for example, the wagyu Galbi, which was $58. Did it taste good? Yes it does! The meat was tender, and it had this great sauce, which I loved. But the wagyu was completed wasted on it. ANY good piece of beef would have tasted just as delicious... because of the sauce. My wife ordered the Wagyu Tofu Soup. Again... I feel that the wagyu is wasted on this dish as well. It's going to be all tender and mushy from being in the soup anyway. Any beef, almost any cut would have done here. I really liked their seafood pancake though. It's not as mealy as other places. In fact, it tasted more like the Chinese onion pancake... crispier. I really liked it. I wouldn't wait 2 hrs for it though, nor pay $18. If this sounds like I had a negative experience, I definitely did not. The food itself was well cooked and in ways I haven't experienced in other Korean places. The service was really great. The servers monitored our water levels, banchan levels. And despite the full house, the service and meals were quick. BUT... this place has a few cons as well. Unnecessary (IMO) premium ingredients, no reservations, LONG waitlist (even though we were put on the waitlist at 6pm, told it would be a 1.5 hr wait; we still didn't get seated until 8). It just keeps this place out of 5 stars for me, sorry.
