Went here twice and both times did not disappoint. Husband had the pork chop w/rice and I had the grilled chicken vermicelli bowl. Meat was so deliciously marinated for both dishes. I also had the Vietnamese coffee, which the owner said was a blend of the Mr. Espresso beans (yum!). Coffee was strong (kept me up till 3am but that's bc I drank it at 2pm!). Second time we went here, we brought the kids. I had the same dish (so good), husband had the grilled pork vermicelli, son has the grilled steak with rice and daughter had the grilled chicken. My son loved the steak - it was so well marinated - very tender and flavorful. Everyone was very happy with their meals. Service was excellent! Will need to try the pho the next time. Great addition to the marketplace! read more

Bomb! And the Walking distance from my place makes Pho 510 my new go to Vietnamese spot! Beautiful location. Extra friendly staff! Cody was my server and he was welcoming, personable and attentive without being excessive. I ordered grilled chicken Bun and veggie fried spring rolls (to enjoy in the bowl), everything was cooked fresh to order, great quality, so well made absolutely delicious. Heavy emphasis on great quality. If you've frequented any Viet spots in Oakland then you know what I mean. The coffee is perfect and guaranteed to keep you wired! I will be returning! read more

Pho 510 - Grilled Chicken Bun - Vietnamese Near Me - Castro Valley, California

Beautiful new space in the mezzanine of the Castro Valley Marketplace food hall. Owner is extremely friendly and kind. I saw her patiently explaining the menu to those unfamiliar with Vietnamese food and making recommendations, as well as hugging returning customers. The dac biet is $30, while the other pho options are $21. Coconut pandan waffle is a steal at $3, and the Vietnamese coffee was quite tasty, even if I will always be a hardcore Lee's Sandwiches devotee when it comes to this drink. read more

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

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

It's nice to have another pho restaurant in castro valley. My husband and I dined in yesterday evening after I got off work. Parking: restaurant is located inside castro Valley marketplace so you can park in the designated parking lot. Spots are a bit tight though. Ambiance: completely remodeled prior to opening. It's a small spot located on the second floor of the marketplace. All table seating and tables were spaced perfectly apart. This is a great spot for a casual date or a family dinner. Service: 5/5. We were seated immediately and waters were provided as soon as we sat down. Food arrival time after ordering was short and they gave us the check immediately after we finished our food. Very efficient. Food: (3.5/5). I ordered the ribeye filet pho and the rice cakes. The star of the show is the rice cakes. The provided fish sauce was light. Portion sizes were generous given the price charged. The pho soup probably had MSG in it since both my husband and I ended up drinking a lot of water a few hours after the meal. We will return to try other things on their menu. The rice cakes are worth the trip. read more

Ordered the P32 ribeye and meatball pho and everything hit the spot. Meat quality, broth, noodle-to-protein ratio -- all 100%. Love the CV Marketplace vibes. A little pricier than other pho places, but the quality and ambience make it all worth it. 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

We actually weren't planning to eat here at all. We were just at the CV Marketplace to check out the building which I had the privilege of working on its renovation/retrofit design before the pandemic. While walking around, we spotted a "Grand Opening" sign upstairs, and curiosity got the better of us. So even without any dinner plans, we ended up trying a few appetizers. As soon as we sat down, we were warmly welcomed by Rayn, the friendliest server ever. He even gave us complimentary chopsticks and Thai Tea--such a nice touch! Out of the 4x2 Combo Appetizer, the Crispy Egg Roll was my favorite. I'll definitely come back to explore more from their massive menu. read more

Always nice to see a new restaurant pop up in Castro Valley, especially inside the marketplace. Stopped by at around 5:45pm on a Sunday and luckily beat the crowd that arrived closer to 6:15-6:45. As it is their grand opening weekend, service wasn't the best and could be improved. Lots of waiters running around trying to tend to all the tables. Our table also had no napkin dispenser, so we had to flag someone down for that. P31 Rare Steak/Ribeye: (4/5) fairly soft steak! Broth was good and clean tasting and salted well. There were a lot of noodles in the bowl, so you would be full if you ate the whole thing. Fairly expensive at $20.95, when compared to Pho Ha Noi where you can get a steak and boneless short rib for pretty much the same price (and more flavorful). A7 Fried Egg Roll: (3.8/5) came pre cut, which was nice. Tasted good but I wish it came with mint. I would say this was pretty standard! BM15 Banh Mi 5-10 Special: (4.5/5) surprised by this sandwich. Very soft slow cooked brisket inside. I wish it had pickled carrots and daikon inside, but it did have pickled onions and jalapeño. It became even softer and easier to eat when dipped in the pho au jus. Coconut Pandan Waffle: (4.5/5) I was surprised they had this as a dessert, and for $3, it was definitely worth it. We ordered this with the rest of our food, and it also came out at the same time (wish they had waited until after we were done with our entrees). By the time we got to it, it wasn't that hot and it was on the softer side (almost mochi-like which wasn't bad too). The taste was good - tasted a bit more coconut than pandan. read more

My Dr. brought us here as a work outing for lunch because it was a rainy cold day and boy was this place the hot spot! It was packed at lunch time and it's not the only place on the plaza but it was the only place that had a line to be seated so I knew it was gonna be good! It met my expectations and beyond! The service was fantastic and the food was chefs kiss amazing! The depth of flavor in the broth and the shrimp fried rice I got was so so good. I love how the restaurant is like an open dining concept since it's like in a food hall but you still feel like your have a quality meal in a sit down restaurant. I will be back with the hubs so we can enjoy it together! read more

Pho 510 - Fried rice and beef broth! - Vietnamese Near Me - Castro Valley, California

This is a cute little spot on the mezzanine level of this location. There is an elevator up to that floor. We were greeted by a friendly server twice while they were working on clearing tables. My pho was hot and the broth was delicious. The kids meal included a kids size soda. They did forget to bring the soda but we got it before we left. This place was busy for a Thursday afternoon around 1pm. read more

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

Came here on a cold night and met some friends here for dinner. We put in our name as it was a Saturday night and it was busy. Took about 20-30 minutes for a table of 4. Service was friendly. Our friends ordered the pork chop and beef brisket pho while hubby had the combination stir fried noodles and I also had the pork chop. I tried some of hubby's noodles and it was tasty plus he gave me all his black mushrooms which he doesn't like. I enjoyed my pork chop but it wasn't meaty or hearty like I expected it to be. read more

Loved it here. Our first time and we got there early since we knew it was a popular spot. We were seated right away and were able to relax and enjoy our food. The menu had so many options that we will definitely have to come back for more. We ordered the banh mi thit nuong (grilled pork) and the pho ga (chicken) plus we had pandan waffles for dessert. Everything was delicious. By the time we left there was a big line waiting to get in. I recommend going early so you don't have to wait too long. It's worth it. read more

Average pho. The workers are really nice but they can be skimpy on the selection of toppings. They don't give cilantro or sprouts. It's mainly mint, lime, jalapeños which is fine but I want the whole spread! This place is a bit pricey, not surprising since it's located in the CV Marketplace. Ever since I've ate at Pho Auntie 7 nothing beats it. Thai tea is so expensive it's around $8 and the soup is almost $20 but that's this economy anyways... I would come back to try other stuff on their menu! It's located upstairs in CV Marketplace by the bathrooms, next to La Perla. read more

Pho 510 - Brisket & chicken pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Castro Valley, California

The owner seems to take a very hands-on approach to running this place, and it really shows. The restaurant is clean and well-maintained, the broth is light and flavorful, and the quality of the meat seems excellent. You can also tell they put a lot of effort into preparing everything as neatly and carefully as possible. The only downside is that the prices are a bit high for the portion sizes, but if you're in the area, this is still one of the better pho spots to check out. read more

I ordered the shrimp and rice and it was a good. Didn't taste like traditional fried rice. It tasted more like a clean version of fried rice and it had a basil taste. It was big enough for me to eat dinner and lunch the next day read more

Great addition to CV. A good amount of people here on a Tuesday night but you're able to get seated right away. We ordered a vermicelli bowl and the pork chop rice dish which were both equally delicious. Would definitely come back to try the pho next time. The staff were so friendly! read more

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

Located on the second floor of the Castro Valley marketplace. Area felt spacious and the staff were very friendly. I had some doubts at first because their pho looked pricey, but it ended up being well worth it. My mom and I got a combination pho (the one without the ribeye) and a cold cut banh mi to share. The pho portion was massive. The broth was flavorful and aromatic, and one of the cuts of beef somehow tasted like bone marrow. It was fantastic. The banh mi was savory and crunchy. The creaminess of the pate and meats went perfectly with the refreshing vegetable fillings. I would definitely come here to eat again. read more

I don't know why I haven't come here before, but definitely changes this new year! This place is like a hidden gem in the Castro Valley Market Place, upstairs! If don't mind the extra noise, you have to visit here! I got their pho house special and no regrets. Like, look at the picture, that angus prime ribeye~ Their prices are a bit on the higher end, but what pho place isn't nowadays. The only difference is that this place is definitely worth the money! Everyone I ate with was satisfied with their meal and look forward to coming again! Went here 2 times and you can tell who runs the place, they know what they're doing, because great service and just very nice people in general. They have limited space and on the weekend, they are busy for suuure, but worth the wait, especially since you can just explore what the market has to offer. Also if you haven't ordered their pandan waffle.... YOU ARE MISSING OUT! read more

Pho 510 - Pho House Special with extra noodles! - Vietnamese Near Me - Castro Valley, California

We enjoy the Castro Valley Marketplace and were excited to see a new Vietnamese option in there! We were even more excited when we found out that Pho 510 was connected to Le Cheval in Oakland! It always seems to be busy (which says good things) so we finally made it in for a lunch. The menu is pretty extensive, quite a good selection to choose from! My wife got the grilled pork rice plate and I got a pork stir fried noodle. Both dishes were good, both in quality and portion. The rice plate was very unique with the sugar cane shrimp and steam egg cake, items we don't always see on a menu at a Vietnamese place! Bonus points for the service, the host (owner?) was super friendly and welcoming. Our kid has a peanut allergy so we asked her about allergens as Vietnamese places aren't always the best for that. However, she assured us that with her having a relative with allergies, it is something that the restaurant takes seriously and can accommodate. Always good to know and great to have a peanut safe option! I've been back a couple times and it was good both times. I've gotten a pork chop rice plate which was really tasty and my brisket and ribeye pho was great too! Excellent broth, noodles had a nice consistency, and the meat was really tender. Overall Pho 510 is a little on the pricey side but the quality and service are great! read more

Came here around the time when they first opened. Got the most expensive pho for $30 just to try it. I wasn't impressed. I'm not a big guy but for $30 I was expecting to not finish it but I did finish it and couldv'e ate more. Taste wise was just ok too. The workers in the kitchen and dining room was all over the place at the time. I did try them again a little after that but it was to go and again it was meh. I might try again since its been so long maybe things changed. We'll see read more

I had a bad experience at my usual pho spot so I decided to try something new and came to Pho 510. I'm so glad I did because this place is soooo good! I got the P27 and the chicken wings to shared with my kids. The soup portion is generous so we even had some left over. The flavor though! Me and my son just stared at each other nodding in silence after the first sip. So good! read more

This is an update to my prior review about 4 months ago where I rated them 2 stars. Fast forward to yesterday...I'll update my rating to 5 STARS. The food is still great and very flavorful.

My wife and I went to Pho 510 last night. Initially, I wanted to go to our usual pho restaurant in Pleasanton but I decided to try this place after my wife had gone to Pho 510 for lunch a short time ago and she liked the food. I am very glad I tried Pho 510. It was worth the drive from Dublin to CV. When we arrived and signed in, we waited for about 15-minutes to be seated. Yes, it was very busy, even around 7:30pm that night. Waiter came immediately to give us glasses of water. The appetizer came within minutes of our order and the food came about 15-20 minutes later. My wife enjoyed her noodle plate and my soup was flavorful and contents of both plates are plentiful. The waitress came back to check on us and offered her homemade chili sauce. This chili sauce is amazing. Not overly hot or spicy, just the right amount. The food and atmosphere will definitely bring us back to Pho 510. The employees are friendly, highly recommended and worth the drive. read more

Finally tried this spot and it was delicious! Love having different options to try in the market place. Look forward to trying more! read more

Brand new place and first time here. Service was outstanding! From the moment we walked up throughout the entire meal! Everyone was so attentive and helpful! The ambiance was really nice and open. The design was very tasteful. The silver brick in the kitchen allowed the space to look larger than it really is with its brightness! The food itself was very enjoyable to me! It was very light, fresh, and tasty! My wife wasn't as pleased. She's accustomed to a heavier flavor, but I don't agree. I enjoy the flavored lightness, which allows you to keep eating! Then next thing you know, you're too full to move! Lol It's a must try! Can't wait to try the other items next time I go back! read more

Pho 510 opened recently in Hermanos Verdes' vacated space on the mezzanine in Castro Valley Marketplace. Semi-open kitchen. Seating, infrastructure similar. New murals on the walls . Subtle music. More vibrant music comes from La Perla next door. Quickly & courteously seated near entrance. Ordered promptly. pho came in 5 ish minutes. Pho was recommended by Hokkaido owner nearby. Offerings (traditional Vietnamese): Pho, appetizers, extras, vermicelli bowls, extra side items, sandwiches, salads, stir fried rice dishes/noodles, kid's menu, drinks & desserts, rice plates, fried rice, rice clay pots.. Slurps: Pho Tai Gan (20.95) one size-large? Bowl didn't have a shallow bottom as many Pho places. -broth steamy hot, full beef flava as expected from 24 hour bone broth. No noticeable sodium taste. Nuanced complex broth infused by star anise, cinnamon, charred onions, ginger & herbal spices. Good to the last drop! -toppings were basil, bean sprouts, jalepeno slices, lime wedges, spring onions. -noodles wasn't aplenty. Plenty of very tender rib eye slices thicker than usual which explains the tenderness. Many Medium tender tendons mostly hiding under the noodles at bottom. -unlike a well known chain in South Bay also touting 24 hour broth, there was no pressure to eat quick & leave. Better taste & value here. *only concern was the big wooden box holding the utensils, condiments, napkins. No room for a 2d entree if ordered. **Sriracha tasted weak, watery. Issue with packer who has quality control problems with sourced chilies. 5 Stars: Worthy! Quantity: plentiful, reasonable price. Quality: impeccable fresh, top level ingredients. Cody, the server, recommended the rice clay pot. I miss the Banh Beo I had in San Jose. read more

Pho 510 - Utensil box occupies 1/3 of space on table.... - Vietnamese Near Me - Castro Valley, California

Called in a pickup order for a Grilled Pork Vermicelli Bowl. Didn't realize it was on the second floor of the Castro Valley Marketplace until I went to go pick it up. The cashier was friendly. Nice dining area. When I got back to my car to eat, I found it difficult to mix and eat from the takeout container it was in. It wasn't my favorite vermicelli bowl, I felt it lacked herbs. It just had lettuce, some pickled carrots and daikon, along with the pork and vermicelli noodles. I might have to come back to try their pho. read more

First time here. Server was very nice. They also comped our 12 year old daughter's pho soup as a giveback program they're doing for the month of November. Overall, the atmosphere is decent. Comfortable seating. I will say they could improve on the timing of when they bring the food out. My wife's meal came after we were done eating. Also the chicken wing appetizer came probably 10 minutes after we're done eating our main meal. Regarding the food. Everything was decent. We got spring rolls, their special chicken wings, crispy egg rolls, the grilled pork combo rice plate and the chicken and shrimp vermicelli bowl. Food was fairly priced. We'd come back mainly because the staff were super polite and helpful. read more

It's a really nice addition to CV. Women owned business by 3 partners. One of them is the front of the house manager but she does it all and is the main server. Super friendly and easy to talk to. However, I am really not impressed by their food. I've twice to ensure I can make an informed review. Here's what I've tried: - pandan waffle: we we're practically done with our meal and we still haven't received this waffle yet so we told the owner/server and she said the machine had to warm up so it's taking longer than expected. We were already full so we didn't want it anymore. She was kind enough to take it out of the bill and still gave it to us. Though it didn't taste horrible. It's not a the waffle that I had expected. It wasn't crispy and it wasn't marketed as mochi waffle. - pho - we wanted to go big or go home and got the house special for $29.95. The meat provided was quality, however the soup was very underwhelming and lacked in aromas. I want to be able to smell and taste the star anise, coriander, fennel, cardamon and cloves. I wasn't satisfied. I didn't want to finish the bowl. - appetizer sampler : comes with 2 of each egg roll, spring roll, tofu roll, and rocket shrimp. Came with peanut sauce for the spring rolls and a sweet and the sour sauce that tasted like it was poured from a bottle. In my opinion, Vietnamese egg rolls should be served with pieces of lettuce and fish sauce like how most traditional Vietnamese restaurants serve it. - combination stir fried noodles : who's tasted very mediocre is literally just some noodles sautéed with some meat - rice plate with pork - banh beo : the owner told us that they had just made it and it's fresh or something but when we got it, everything was cold. And I could've sworn it every time I tried that other Vietnamese restaurants this was served warm. And now I'm starting to doubt myself ?! As you can see, I feel like everything was just very mediocre. Nothing tasted extraordinary. Nothing stood out. I hate to say this, but nothing makes me wanna come back a third time. read more

Pho 510 is such a lovely addition to Castro Valley! It's on the second floor of the CV marketplace. The pho here is very high quality. The broth tastes light/clean but still very flavorful and the ingredients of the pho were very fresh. However, there was quite a wait to be seated/served on the weekend. Since it's in the marketplace, it can also be a little loud/overstimulating at times. Prices are also on the higher end. read more
