We wanted to grab a bite to eat sometime in the late morning and this place was one of the few dining options that was open at the time. Since it was a weekday, we were one of the first customers, and we were promptly greeted and shown to our table. The dining area was clean, spacious, and well-lit. I ordered their Bún bò Huế and we got an order of fried pork eggrolls to share. The eggrolls were fried perfectly, not too greasy, and surprisingly light. My Bún bò Huế noodles were cooked perfectly and the broth was rich and savory, with a little bit of kick from the chilis in the background. Service was casual but friendly. They are located in a strip mall, so parking was pretty convenient. Overall, I had a good experience, would recommend. read more

This review is just for the bun bo hue. I live in Newark and there are a few places closer to me that have it, but whenever I'm craving bun bo hue, I always end up coming here. The broth has a lot of flavor, a little spicy and just hits the spot. Good amount of noodles and meat, and the portion is pretty filling. I've tried bun bo hue at quite a few places, but this is still the one I keep coming back to. Definitely worth the extra drive for me. read more

Located inside the plaza with Ranch 99 and other restaurants, I have dined here a few times because it's convenient. Parking is free / parking lot available. The menu is what you would expect from a Pho spot; pricing is fair. It's a little dirty, seat has always food / crumbs from the previous guests. It doesn't look like it's wiped or cleaned up for the next guests. The food and drinks are okay, they are decent. Customer service is okay; it is decent. Not my first choice or in my top 10 but if I'm shopping at the Ranch 99 plaza and starving and don't want to wait or drive further for food, I'll dine here. Otherwise, would go elsewhere. read more

Everything went well at this restaurant. I only orders their Pho which was delicious! The service was great as well because once I placed the food to the server, I got it right away just like any vietnamese restaurant if you order Pho. Ambiance was great because they were playing the nba playoffs and i was just enjoying my dinner and time at this place. Will comeback to order more of their food next time! read more

I wish I could do 4.5 stars. Who doesn't love a nice bowl of pho on a cold Friday night? My husband and I had a date night and I really wanted to try a new spot. Yelp helped us find this gem. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted and seated immediately. We looked over the menus, got water right away, and placed our appetizer order quickly. We wanted to splurge, so we got two. Chicken wing app: This is the only reason my review isn't a full 5 stars. One of the wings wasn't fully cooked and left a bad taste in my mouth. The rest of the wings were crunchy, and the sauce they came with was sweet and sour. Egg rolls: These were delicious! I'm so glad we still got these along with the wings. They were crunchy and very savory. This restaurant has a very chill vibe for customers, but the employees are a well-oiled machine. One person sat us, another took our appetizer order, and then Tammy took our meal order. We know Tammy from our kid's school, but that doesn't make my opinion biased. She was friendly and quick to take our order. H1. House Special Rice Noodle Soup w/ Shrimp, Squid, Chicken & Fish Ball (LARGE): This was delicious. For starters, it came out super fast--I expected it to take longer since they were busy. Secondly, they gave me soooo much broth, which is usually a bad thing, but it was so tasty I didn't mind at all. Everything was cooked perfectly, and I got more shrimp than I usually do. My husband made his own rice plate--chicken and beef with rice only. Unfortunately, the portion wasn't great. I think it's because he customized it, but he only got one piece of chicken and one piece of beef. It was still very tasty, especially with their side of broth. Overall, this will 10000% be my new pho spot. Thank you, Tammy and team! read more

I always come here and realized I never left a review, which is crazy because this is one of my favorite pho spots. I love my pho here. I always get the same thing and they seriously never fail me. I also love how aesthetically pretty this place is. It has such a nice vibe inside. The service is simple and fast. They take your order, bring your food, and leave you alone unless you need something, which honestly I don't mind at all read more

Excellent place for Pho. Great variety and good quality food with excellent service. we go there often.

Server was wonderful and explained everything to our party well. Food was delicious and steaming. The smoothies are a must try. The lighting in the restaurant is very pretty and not dark at all, which I love. read more

I ordered to go because I was craving pho so bad and I hadn't tried this place yet. I got a Vietnamese iced coffee and it wasn't filled to the top. I didn't order any extras or anything when prompted so I'm not sure if that's normal or not. Also, the coffee was a bit dark but still delicious. I would probably recommend adding more milk to your order as per your preference. I ordered the 7th beef soup option. It was very delicious. The broth was flavorful, steaming hot, and I almost managed to finish a whole large portion by myself. My only issue was the meat had a lot of stringy bits and part of the steak was tough and chewy. It made it hard to eat. Other than that I'd love to have a dine in experience and try a different pho next time! read more

This used to be our go-to spot for a quick meal, but unfortunately, our most recent visit changed our opinion. My husband ordered the combination pho, and while he was about halfway through his noodles, he discovered a bug buried deep inside them. He informed our server, but his response was disappointing. Instead of showing concern, he simply said that it must have just flown in. Considering the bug was deep inside the noodles, that explanation didn't make sense. After finding the bug, we both completely lost our appetite and couldn't finish the rest of our meal. When we went to pay, another gentleman (possibly the manager) at the register asked how everything was. We explained what had happened, and he was already aware of the situation. He apologized and said we should have been offered a replacement meal, but the server never offered us one. He did remove the noodles from our bill, which I appreciated, and I was thankful for his apology and professionalism. While I appreciate the cashier's concern and effort to make things right, the server's lack of empathy and poor handling of the situation left a lasting impression. Because of this experience, we decided we will not be back. read more

We tried this Vietnamese spot for the 1st time and we were pleasantly impressed- what attracted us to go initially was because the place is well lit with good energy and full of customers- Food was superb and delicious! We tried the fresh spring rolls with grilled pork and it was so yummy! And the pork chop & the vermicelli combo with grilled beef and egg rolls were amazing! Service is friendly and courteous- they were short staff and kitchen was backed up but the staff was apologetic and made sure we got our order on time. We will definitely be back! read more

Pho 99 - P15. Hue Spicy Noodle Soup - Vietnamese Near Me - Fremont, California

Went with high expectations after hearing a lot of reviews from fellow Fremont food lovers but was pretty disappointed. I ordered pho mi ga which is the chicken pho the most common and basic dish. My chicken was not cooked at all. So raw. I kept chewing and chewing but couldn't bite through it. Not even 1 slice is chicken is cooked. The soup was ok, not great or omg. Not satisfied at all My husband said his meat noodle pho was good. Fried pork rolls are good, just as what the name says. The best dish is the chicken fried rice. Simple and delicious. But the reason we and anyone would go there is for the pho, which was disappointing. Ambiance is great. Loved the vibe Service is pretty quick. read more

Pho 99 - Pho Ga - Vietnamese Near Me - Fremont, California

The food itself was actually very good--the pho was flavorful and well-prepared. However, the rest of the experience was completely ruined by two major issues. First, the artificial air freshener/fragrance coming from the restroom was overwhelmingly strong and spread all the way into the dining area. It was so intense that the chemical scent literally clung to the dining seats and transferred onto my clothes/pants. I had to spend so much effort deep-washing and soaking my clothes after getting home just to get the smell out. Second, there is a serious lack of billing transparency. My menu item was $13.50, but after adding tax and a $2 tip, my card was charged $18.48 instead of the expected amount. On top of that, they didn't even provide an itemized receipt to explain the extra charge. Good food does not make up for terrible indoor air quality and sketchy billing practices. Will not be returning. Update regarding owner's response: The owner claims that itemized charges are clearly shown on the screen before payment, but that is simply not true. At checkout, the screen displayed only a single total line of around $15 with zero itemized breakdown, and no printed receipt was provided. Instead of addressing the actual math, the owner deflected with standard PR lines. Let's look at the numbers directly: Menu item price: $13.50 Fremont Sales Tax (10.25%): $1.38 Subtotal with tax: $14.88 Tip added: $2.00 Expected total: $16.88 Actual card charge: $18.48 Where did the extra $1.60 come from? If there are truly no hidden fees or surcharges since 1999, please explain the $1.60 discrepancy rather than dismissing legitimate feedback as "oversensitivity" or "unfounded accusations." As for the fragrance, when an artificial scent is heavy enough to physically cling to seating and soak into customers' clothing, it is an indoor air quality issue, not a personal sensitivity issue. read more

I moved from sj up here and I'm so glad there's a decent pho place nearby. I admit I was skeptical at first because there's not a lot of viet people here and the staff speak such good English. But I decided to try this place because I really needed my comfort food. I was pleasantly surprised! The broth is SOLID. It's nice and clear, full of umami flavor with some sweetness but not too sweet. I just wish they have fresh noodles. My husband is a fan of the beef fried rice. I've been here 4 times already whenever I'm sick or miss my parents. The restaurant is clean and has a peaceful vibe. The staff are so nice and courteous even tho i was ready for the vietnamese treatment iykyk. I feel like the only viet-speaking person there sometimes aside from the staff lol since most of the guests aren't viet. Will def come back again! read more

I come here sometimes for lunch and I kind of like it. The beef pho is always good and fills me up every time. My husband always orders his usual P1 large with a Thai tea, he comes here pretty often! This time, I decided to try the wonton with rice noodle soup. I can never finish a large, so a medium is just right for me. The broth was so good and light, the chicken was tender, and the wontons were delicious. It definitely felt lighter than the beef pho, which was perfect since I wanted something filling but not too heavy. The Thai tea was a bit weak and not sweet enough for my taste. Service is fast. read more

RUDE. JUST PLAIN RUDEEEE. I've been coming here for years, but today will be my last visit. I came in with my family, and we were greeted and told to sit anywhere. We sat down, ordered, and a few minutes later received a small plate of condiments--bean sprouts, basil, lemon, and pepper. It clearly wasn't enough for everyone, so my mom asked for more. When our food arrived, I asked the same server again, and he said he'd bring another plate. When he returned, instead of simply handing it over, he said, "Make sure you finish this and do not waste it." Excuse me? If we had been given enough to begin with, we wouldn't have needed to ask. That comment was unnecessary and unprofessional. On top of that, the noodles were undercooked and hard--pretty disappointing for a place that specializes in rice noodles. Overall, the service was extremely poor, and the experience was frustrating. Sadly, this visit made it clear I won't be coming back. read more

Went here for dinner with my significant other. He ordered a rice plate and I got pho. Both chicken wings were raw in the inside so let the employee know and he looked at us funny. Then, he told us he will get us a new order of chicken wings. After 15 mins, we were done eating and went up to pay. He completely forgot about giving us the chicken wings. So he packed it up for to go. We still paid for our food, but we felt like they didn't take this situation seriously. Now, my partner is dealing with a stomache right after eating dinner there. We will seek out other pho spots in the area, due to bad experience with customer service and food. read more

I got the Pho soup with steak and brisket and it is so good. I'd even say it's healing. Pho99's broth is so tasty that I forget to drink my drink at times. The brisket is tender and the steak has a good size to it. Their noodles are firm, thin and enjoyable til the last bite. The portions are worth the price and leave me happily stuffed. I definitely recommend Pho 99 for some great pho. The steak and brisket is my favorite pho soup so far from Pho99. The people are also really friendly and kind which makes coming here worth it. read more

Came in on a Thursday noon, was not too crowded. There are quite a lot of seats inside. Parking isn't too hard either since it's in a court with a 99 Ranch. The employees did not give great service but met our requests. After we ordered, the pho took a bit longer than we are used to at other pho places - almost 10 minutes. I ordered a Medium bowl and my husband ordered a Large. The broth was clear and tasteful, and there was quite a lot of meat inside. Total came out to $32 before tip. You pay in front with a cashier. Would come again for the clear broth, but the service like mentioned is mediocre. read more

Service here is above average and very clean for a Vietnamese restaurant. I would definitely come here again. read more

I came here on a Saturday night about a hour before closing. Super sad that they told me they were out of pho. I mean how can a pho spot be out of pho?!?! Maybe it was just that good. Not sure So I ended up getting the rice plate combo special. IT WAS GOOD! I really really enjoyed the pork chop flavor. They marinated and sauced it really well. Just sad that the pork chop was super thin. I wished it was thicker or one more slice of pork chop. Service was a little tough to get their attention. The staff was all over the place helping other people. So I get it. Just took extra work on my end to get some more fish sauce for my rice. The rice plate has set my expectation high here for the pho. Will come back again to try out their pho combo. Just gotta be here at least 2 hours before closing to make sure they still have pho in stock. read more

When we went here on some Fridays, we always got seated right away. The place was always busy but there were always tables and seat that were available for me and my husband. Service was always fast. They served our order in 5 minutes. All their soups were always good, depended on what you liked, steak, beef balls, flank, etc. The soup servings were big. They come in medium or large. They came in the same size bowl, the medium and large but the large had more noodles and meat. Casual dining, place was clean, had lots of parking. read more

Pho 99 was my go to for a short time last year. I thought they were pretty good, but inconsistencies changed my mind. For example, the pho isn't always served as hot as it should. There have been times it tasted like the broth wasn't quite ready yet. The oxtail pho was decent but the meat was tough. The tendon has been hard every time I've tried it. The floor is super greasy and dirty. You can feel yourself losing traction under your shoes. Service has been friendly for the most part, but not always quick. BUT!!! The pandan waffle has never let me down. I've ordered it every time I've visited. Always hot, freshly made, toasty, slightly crunchy on the outside and soft inside with bits of pandan. read more

The place is pretty clean and updated for a pho place. The menus are in plastic sleeves and displayed well with pictures. We ordered a Bun Bo Hue (BBH) and a Pho Tai Gan. The BBH soup was flavorful and not too salty, came with veggies such as cabbage, basil, jalapenos, and even cilantro. The pho tai broth was good and the gan had some very fatty pieces. Some of The servers dont smile but thats ok as they are very attentive and water was refilled and they have the nice insulated stainless steel cups. Would recommend this place but it's next to the ever loving 'phin cafe'. read more

I was last here during the Lunar New Year weekend. Decided to order the crepe again. There was a sufficient number of shrimp, but like a month ago, there was barely any bean sprouts. I left still hungry so went to get squid head and boba milk tea at Tap Ex on Decoto. Not going to torture myself anymore and will just head to San Jose for the pandan crepes. It's in south San Jose so much farther, but at least I get my money's worth. All service people on the floor were wearing masks, except for one older male. Of course, he was the one that sneezed and didn't cover his mouth while he was in the area where they keep the bus cart and make the drinks. read more
