Never expected this, but this place has probably one of the best beef phoI've ever had in the Bay Area. I have been to the marketplace numerous times and new restaurant was on the second floor, but never had time to try. I'm glad I finally did. The rice noodle was chewy and the soup was flavorful, but the star was the rare rib eye beef and the brisket! They were both not only full of flavors but super tender! I could tell the beef was of high end grade and cut. Just for this I would go back again. We also got tasty egg rolls. The staff was friendly and there are plenty of tables to sit at. Being in the marketplace it also felt open and comfortable. Highly recommended! read more

Pho 510 - Interior - Vietnamese Near Me - Castro Valley, California

See all

Pho-510 is a great Vietnamese place in the Castro Valley Marketplace. The staff were all wearing shirts with an "Eat Healthy Leave Happy" tagline. This summarizes a vibe the owners want to make obvious. The owner made certain that all parties felt loved for coming. Pho-510 is women owned and the owner we talked with has a Vietnamese heritage. We had one of the chicken soups to which we added a large portion of steamed vegetables. We had a mix but the owner volunteered to make a custom mix from her list of vegetables. We started with a shrimp spring roll as pictured. The sauce appeared to be a peanut sauce. It added nicely to the spring rolls. The Pho soup was nicely prepared and had a large portion of chicken. We really liked the combination of flavors. We need to get back there on our next visit to get you some more pictures. We visit the marketplace regularly to get bread from Seven Hills Baking, meat from Barrons and produce from Castro Valley Natural Grocery. So now we have a great place for lunch. We strongly recommend you give them a try. read more

Pho 510 - Shrimp spring roll - Vietnamese Near Me - Castro Valley, California

We have dined in the Castro Valley Marketplace many times, and I don't know how we missed Pho 5-10. It is such a gem. The staff were so friendly on our visit, and the food was really delicious with generous portions. The restaurant is on the second floor mezzanine level so there was an open floor plan. On one wall was a mural of the beautiful Halong Bay in Vietnam. Perhaps it is because the location is inside a market hall that we didn't have high expectations, and the extensive menu also gave us second thoughts on whether the kitchen can execute well on such broad offerings. Since this is our first time here, we ordered our usual standards- beef pho, grilled beef over rice, grilled pork chops over rice, grilled chicken over rice vermicelli, and shrimp salad. The beef pho came first. The broth tasted phenomenal, and the beef slices were thin and succulent. It came with fresh and delicate herbs and green chiles, which we quickly add to the broth. Next came the grilled meats, and both the grilled beef and pork chops had that smoky grilled flavor, and the marinade was sensational. The plates were huge and on it there were big mounds of rice, generous salads on the side, and a small bowl of clear broth. A small dish of fish sauce was provided if you want to add it to the rice and salad for more flavor. As we were waiting for the next dish, our server came out and apologetically informed us that they had just run out of the grilled chicken, and the chef is preparing a fresh batch, but we would need to wait around 25 minutes for the meat to be seasoned. We didn't want to wait so we opted for the grilled pork, and it was a good choice, as the grilled pork was just as good as the grilled beef and pork chops aforementioned. Our daughter had the shrimp salad, and the portion was large. We thought she wouldn't finish it, but to our surprise, she cleaned up the plate until there is nothing left. It was that good! We are glad that we finally discovered Pho5-10 and we will be back to explore more of the extensive menu. read more

This cute little restaurant is located upstairs in the CV Marketplace. There's a few parking spots on the street out front, but there's also a parking lot next to/behind the building. My mom brought me & my grandparents one night to check it out since it opened recently. She told us she's been there a couple times since they opened & there was a bit of a wait, but luckily when we came, we were seated right away. There's about 15-20 total tables to dine in. Once you arrive, there's a host stand where you check in & they'll get you seated. Once we were seated, we were greeted by one of the friendly servers & given the menus along with water. We noticed on the menu that Monday-Friday from 3-5pm is 15% off appetizers, so we got the shrimp spring rolls to share. I ordered the pho with brisket & enjoyed it - it was a good amount of noodles and meat & the broth was flavorful. I'd definitely come back again the next time I'm in Castro Valley :) read more

Came here with some friends. I ordered the Grilled Pork Vermicelli Bowl, and we shared the Banh Beo Chen (Vietnamese Steamed Rice Cakes). The Grilled Pork Vermicelli Bowl was good! Loved it. I would order it again. Portions were generous. It could possibly be two meals, but decided to just finish it since I mixed it all together with the fish sauce. The Banh Beo Chen was good as well! Never had those before, but would order it again! The owner came to our table to make sure everything was okay. Very sweet lady. So nice. Definitely would come back to order the same thing or to try other things as well. Hope this place stays around for a long time. read more

This place is a keeper! I came here on a Friday for lunch and it was a packed house, almost every table was filled. Their menu looks pretty solid with standard Vietnamese dishes and then some. I ordered the grilled pork bun. I'm usually pretty picky about this dish but they did a good job. The ratio of the ingredients were good - including the meat. My friend had the chicken rice and it was a good amount of food too. I'd love to go back to try their pho and banh beo. Service was excellent. Super chill space upstairs at the marketplace. Will be back! read more

My experience at Pho 5-10 was disappointing. I was greeted right away and seated, and my order was taken promptly for dine-in service. Unfortunately, I wasn't a fan of the food. The pho lacked flavor, and the chicken had a strange taste that I can't quite describe. I'm not a picky eater, so I didn't complain and just ate what I could, but I ended up leaving a lot of the chicken behind. When it was time to pay, a different employee rang me up. I remember thinking the total seemed higher than what I had seen on the menu, but I didn't have the menu in front of me to verify it. Once I got home, I checked their online menu and confirmed that I had been charged $4 more than the listed price for the chicken pho. I still left a tip. Being overcharged on top of not enjoying the food left a bad impression. Unfortunately, I won't be returning. read more

I came here for the first time today and probably my last. The restaurant is nice and located on the second floor of CV Marketplace. Since it had decent reviews, I was expecting some good Pho. For $20.95/bowl, it is a little bland and skimpy for both the noodles and meat. They claim their broth is simmered for 24 hours so they may want to simmer it for 48 to give it a little more flavor. It took forever to get our order taken and when our pho arrived, the server didn't bring any garnish. For the record, I suspect Pho 510 is probably busy and popular right now due to Pho Auntie 7 being temporarily closed due to the fire they had in 2025 (can't wait until they're back!). To close out this very mid dining experience, they charge you 3% to use your credit card. read more

Came here with a friend on a Thursday evening around 6pm. This restaurant is located inside the marketplace Service and Staff: - There is a host stand that you can wait at to get seated - There is seating inside the restaurant and just outside of the restaurant Food: - Pho Tai: the bowl is quite large (which makes sense given the prices here). The chunks of beef were quite large (wish they were cut up a little smaller) - Sauces available at each table Miscellaneous: - Parking available via street parking and a parking lot connected to the marketplace - Stairs and elevators available to get to the restaurant (it's located on the second floor) read more

I am SO glad we have Pho 510 at CV as I am a local and always look forward to have more quality restaurants here. Their pho really is one of the best and I have been to a ton of pho places for comparison. Service was attentive and there is that waitress lady who always have a nice happy smile on her face. Here is why I love their pho: 1.The noodle is just right! Not too soft or firm. 2. The broth has great flavor 3. Meat (briskets especially) is high quality and not the chewy low quality kind. 4. Great portion size in terms of ratio of noodle, broth, and meat. Price is normally a couple dollars more than other pho places, but to me it is totally worth it for its better quality. Here is a true testament of their quality! I usually don't like phos to go, but pho 510 togo is almost as good as dine-in! Their noodles don't stick together after we got home and put in the soup they expands quickly as if the same at the restaurant while maintaining that texture. I had the leftover pho the next day and just boiled the broth and put the remaining noodles/meat in the boiling broth and it is still good! For sure it is the first time I ended up finishing everything and not throwing anything away. Highly recommend this place (but also hopefully won't get too busy to avoid a long line). read more

This place is my go-to for vietnamese comfort food in Castro Valley. If you are craving for rich, flavorful broth and generous portion pho, this is definitely one of the best options in the area. We also ordered their clay pot rice, even though it looked simple at first glance - the flavors are robust and comforting. My favorite part is the slightly crisp, burnt rice at the edge and bottom of the pot that adds great texture with every bite. Leave some room for dessert - their pandan waffle is a delightful and unexpected finish that's sweet, aromatic, and perfect after a big bowl of pho. Service is fast and efficient even when the restaurant is busy. read more

Came here on a Sunday evening and it was pretty busy, but we were seated fairly quickly. I ordered the shrimp pho (comes with chicken broth) and my husband got the chicken fried rice with a side of beef broth. Everything came out fast, which was great. Portion sizes were decent, and the shrimp pho had a generous amount of shrimp; they definitely didn't skimp. The broth was flavorful, though I personally would have preferred the rice noodles to be a bit more al dente. Still, overall the food was enjoyable. Service was quick, the restaurant was clean, and we noticed a lot of families dining here, which made it feel very kid-friendly. Solid spot overall, and we'd definitely come back again read more

Pho 510 - B50. Vermicelli w/ Shrimp and Beef - Vietnamese Near Me - Castro Valley, California

Expensive Grilled pork banh mi 9/10 - sweet grilled pork but wish it was grilled more - bread is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside - perfect! - not too dry which is great Appetizer sampler 7/10 - for $19 I feel like I expected more? - tofu spring roll was flavorless and lack luster peanut sauce had to carry it - shrimp spring rolls were good and decent - egg rolls were really good and my favorite part of this sampler! Wish it came w veggies and fish sauce instead of the sweet and spicy sauce - fried shrimp thing was okay but still better than that tofu spring roll Pho with Ribeye, brisket, flank, & tripe 8/10 - it's on the expensive side compared to nearby places - bowl is large but it's mostly soup so it's not like you're getting more noodles or toppings --but they do give a decent amount of meat! - soup is flavorful but not mind blowing or super unique (still a solid soup) Our food took a while to come out compared to others dining in. Service was lackluster, noticed that the serve checked on everyone else except us. I don't know why haha. We didn't get our waters refilled or extra plates for sharing. Overall, pricey for the pho but not the worst. I'd come back again in the future mainly for their banh mi though. read more

Came here last Saturday for a late lunch, was very excited to try this new pho place in Castro Valley! I'm a Pho Auntie loyalist, but since they had the fire we've been looking for a new pho place for those colder chilly days. Party of 2. Thankfully it was Thanksgiving break so the village parking lot wasn't super busy, but this area can get really crowded sometimes. We got two bowls of pho and an order of shrimp spring rolls to share. Pho tai is $20.95, which is definitely more expensive than the typical pho place that serves it for maybe $18 or less. Pros: - very solid pho. The noodles were good, broth was unproblematic, and the meat portions were generous. No complaints here on quality. I would say quantity is similar to a typical pho restaurant. - Really nice festive and bright ambiance, especially around the holidays you get to enjoy the Christmas decorations within the village. Pretty chill place for a date, friend hang, etc, with noise level not too quiet but you can still hear each other talk. - Easy seating for a party of 2, no wait when we went mid-afternoon. - I heard that they offered to feed people during the government shut down if their SNAP benefits weren't coming through, so that's super kind and I respect the business for doing that. - All the servers were welcoming and professional, very hospitable. Feels authentic - They have the nicer soup spoons that you can perch on your bowl without them falling easily into the soup Cons: - curiously they don't have bowl size options for the pho, like other places - the table we were at felt very small to fit 2 bowls of pho, our spring rolls, and the box that holds all the sauces and chopsticks etc. - While the service was kind and unproblematic, it did take more than 10 minutes after we were seated to have our order taken, but they genuinely looked really busy. The one thing that I think could be improved is that we got the impression that every employee was kind of responsible for everything? like each individual employee was somehow responsible or expected to be a host, take orders, and serve the food. I almost feel like streamlined roles might make it smoother and more efficient read more

What a wonderful time I had at pho 510. It's located within the Castro Valley Marketplace (beware parking can be a mess sometimes). It's located upstairs next to the Puerto Rican restaurant. My group ordered pho and egg rolls on a cold Sunday, totally hit the spot. Everything is made fresh to order and you can tell it's made with love. The egg rolls were flavorful and crunchy and the pho was some of the best I've ever had. The broth was excellent and the meat tender. The owner came by a few times to ask how we were which was much appreciated. She's wonderful and truly cares about the customer experience. She even offered a complimentary Thai tea! Great time overall. We'll be back to try their noodle and rice dishes! read more

We came here during their grand opening and there was a line. They were offering a free Thai tea or Vietnamese coffee promo, which was a nice touch. Service was super friendly, though it was a bit slow at first (understandable since it was opening week). We've been back a few times since, and the service has improved a lot! I ordered the P37 Pho with Ribeye, Brisket, Flank, and Tripe ($20.95). The broth is rich and flavorful, and quality beef. The noodles are a little soft for my taste, but overall really good. Definitely one of our go-to pho spots now. Highly recommend checking it out if you're in the area! read more

New pho place unlocked!!!! This place has been open for ~2 months now located on the 2nd floor inside Castro Valley Marketplace. It was SOOO good!!! The spring rolls were so fresh and yummy especially served with the fish sauce. The pho itself was so rich and delish. The portions are huge and I had to take my home for leftover and it still felt like it was more than enough for a whole second serving!!! My fiance really loved his pho too (Beef Rib Eye + Brisket) He even went as far as saying its his new favorite spot! The service was just 10/10. Really nice/sweet lady who I can tell is the owner - she took care of us the whole time. She also mentioned the avocado smoothie towards the end and I had to get it. Def found our new go-to pho spot! read more

In short - Overpriced pho that didn't have a wow factor. $29 for the signature dac biet. Thinly sliced rare ribeye is served on the side with a small bowl of broth. Portions are quite large. Broth is noted to be simmered for 24hr but I've had better before. It was lacking the beefy flavor profile I was expecting. The beef toppings are great, I enjoyed the meatballs a lot. My soup also wasn't piping hot so that's also a miss. It should be burning my tongue. Not sure if I'd pay $29 for this again. read more

There's something about craving a warm bowl of noodle soup and a great sandwich that only pho and bánh mì can satisfy. When that craving hit, Pho 510 at the Castro Valley Marketplace was the clear choice. Located upstairs next to La Perla, the spot has a clean, open, communal energy -- a modern food-stall setup that feels casual yet lively. We visited during the lunch rush and waited about twenty minutes, which gave us time to watch steaming bowls of pho sail past. When ours arrived, it didn't disappoint. The Combo Pho came loaded with assorted meats, while the beef ball and ribeye pho was simple and satisfying. The broth was deeply flavored without being too salty, and the meats were tender enough to fall apart with a chopstick nudge. Then came the bánh mìs -- the Brisket and the Grilled Pork. The brisket was rich and flavorful, but as a sandwich, it felt like something was missing. It came with pickled onions and a small side of fatty broth that added a welcome boost. Without that broth, though, it leaned more toward brisket and bread than a balanced sandwich. The Grilled Pork, on the other hand, nailed it -- savory, juicy, and generously stuffed. Service was the one hiccup. No greeting when we arrived, a bit of confusion at seating, and no water refills throughout the meal. Still, the food more than made up for it. Pho 510 is exactly the kind of local gem worth supporting -- great flavors, generous portions, and that bustling marketplace vibe we need more of read more

Food - 5/5 Service - 5/5 Ambiance - 5/5 I was pleasantly surprised by how good the food was! My rule of thumb for an Asian restaurant is grungier the place with the bad service, the better the food is. This place proved that my logic is wrong and that you CAN have everything! Ambiance was great, being at the 2nd floor of the Castro valley market place. Service was super friendly and quick. They had a good amount of staff even on Monday which was great! Food, I ordered Nem Nuong (pork sausage spring roll) as an appetizer, grilled pork vermicelli and Rib Eye with Tendon Pho. Nem Nuong was super fresh and delicious with fresh veggies they used and crunch inside with perfectly grilled pork sausage. Grilled pork in the vermicelli had perfect amount of sweetness and charred taste, and noodles were cooked excellently! Pho had satisfying amount of rib eye and tendon in it. You can tell the meat is good quality. noodles were again perfectly cooked, and the first slurp of the soup I had was so comforting, clean tasting with not too much MSG but with enough umami. My all time fave was Auntie Pho in the East Bay, but this place hits all the mark of having a clean space + great service + amazing food. Worth the trip to this restaurant! Tons of parking in this marketplace which is a plus. Little bonus - the spray they use to clean the table doesnt smell like a vinegary water and the cleaning towel they use doesn't smell like a rag.

Castro Valley Marketplace is turning into a dining destination with a growing number of diverse eateries. One of the latest additions is Pho 5-10, a super friendly Vietnamese restaurant on the second floor with an extensive menu. We started with Banh Beo Chen, a plate of seven steamed rice & tapioca flour cakes topped with a crunchy mixture of shrimp, fried pork, and scallions, served with fish sauce on the side. The Banh Mi 5-10 Special was a creative take on a Vietnamese sandwich, filled with tender slow-cooked beef brisket (the same cut served in their pho), picked onions, pickled carrots/daikon, cucumber, jalapeño, cilantro, and mayo, served with pho broth on the side for dipping--just like a French dip sandwich! The Pho 5-10 Dac Biet was their house special pho made with a variety of beef cuts including flank, brisket, tripe, tendon, and meatballs, along with all the typical condiments of bean sprouts, basil, lime, and jalapeño. The special also came with an extra side of soup with raw thinly-sliced Angus Prime Ribeye, which was cooked to a tender consistency right in the hot broth. Next, the Grilled Porkchop Combo Rice Plate came with a deliciously marinated and grilled bone-in pork chop, steamed egg cake, and sugarcane shrimp, served with rice, salad (lettuce, tomato, picked carrots/daikon), bone broth, and fish sauce. Finally, the Combination Stir Fry Noodle was a plate of yakisoba noodles stir-fried with chicken, shrimp, and mixed vegetables--a seemingly straight-forward but surprisingly tasty dish! Overall, the food here was fresh, vibrant, and delicious, and the service was super friendly too! The menu prices seemed a bit high but was still a fair value for the quality of dishes and the decent portion sizes. read more

Was super excited for their grand opening!! My family and I had been patiently waiting for this new joint to open up! We went on a weekend and it made me so happy to see the community come out and support this new restaurant in town! The wait to get seated didn't take long at all, we definitely got lucky! The service was good, I think because they were so busy it was hard to juggle so many customers and such so I give grace because I know what it's like! When we were being serviced, the waitress attending us was very kind and welcoming! I felt bad for her though cause she was the host, waitress and serving some food and drinks! She can definitely hustle! I have tried so many pho spots and unfortunately, this place just isn't for me! We tried their spring rolls, Thai tea and pho. The spring rolls were good, the Thai tea was super sweet and the pho was okay. For the price, I think I was expecting something different. The taste of the food reminds me a lot of pho ha noi in Palo Alto! So if you like that restaurant, pho 510 is right up your alley! I'm so happy to see and hear that others are enjoying this restaurant and sharing it with friends and family! I will definitely be going back for a second opinion but as of right now, I don't see pho 510 becoming my next go-to read more

This is nestled in the CV Marketplace that houses a grocery, butcher shop, bakery, and other restaurants. The place was busy, but we snagged a table for the five of us (four adults, one kid). Two appetizers, four main dishes, and three drinks came to about $130. Busy as it was, a few pauses to catch our server's eye, but I have to give them credit. Everyone pitched in to meet our needs, bring food, refills, etc. All very positive and friendly. Special props to our main waitress who graciously cleaned up a big water spill my kid managed early on. We all enjoyed our food. Egg rolls were crispy and savory. Curry was pleasant, but not overpowering or spicy hot. My kid scarfed everything we let him eat. Overall, well balanced flavors without any extremes, which I like. Baseline seems low spice, so look for spicier items or ask for more heat if you like that. read more
