Had a great experience at Pho Ha Noi in Fremont! The food was delicious and came out fresh, but what really stood out was the service. Our waiter, Minh Anh, was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. Great food and excellent service definitely a place I'd come back to!
I agree with a lot of the reviews in that the SJ location just hits a lot better than this one. Although it is still good, there are some things that just taste a bit watered down. Beef pho was still very delicious, but the bun bo hue was a little bland. Fish sauce wings are incredible. Sauce was done perfectly. I would definitely give this location another try. It is a very nice vibe and feels classy for a Vietnamese dinner. Prices are still pretty good given the portion size you get.
In the giant Automall plaza, in the same building that we think used to be a Pf Chang's so the inside is large and expansive. We came at 11 and there were already people waiting to go in and by 11:30 half the restaurant was full so we know a lot of people like coming here. We did notice a table getting waffles and fried chicken Vietnamese style when we left and it looks great. Imperial crab roll: fancier egg rolls. The shell is super crunchy and very reminiscent of the egg roll wrappers we tried in Vietnam. Egg coffee: 3 shots espresso, condensed milk c and topped with whipped egg yolk. Richer than normal coffee and like the coffee I tried in Hanoi at Cafe Giang. Pho Tai: Stronger Star anise taste than usual though the broth was a bit light. The meat is Hanoi style and the kids loved it. Bun Bo Hue: My wife's go to, she did not like the broth that much here, it was not flavorful or spicy enough. It's not a common dish comapred to Pho but she was still disappointed in it. S4 half roasted chicken with fried egg and crispy sticky rice: I sqw this in their "house specialty" section and it sounded interesting. The crispy sticky rice was definitely the stand out, its fried and has a distinct savory flavor, there used to be a place in San Jose that made their Onigiri this way that closed a long time ago and glad I know where to go now for something similar. The chicken white meat was dry but the dark meat was good.
This is probably my 8th time coming to Pho Ha Noi, and I clearly keep coming back for a reason! I love pho, pho ga, and I LOVE their fresh noodles. The service is always attentive, there's plenty of space, and the food comes out really quickly. And the best part.. they brought back the pandan waffle for the end of the meal! It's one of my favorites, so I was so happy to hear it was back. I will say, I do feel like the portion sizes have gotten a little smaller compared to before, so I'm usually still a bit hungry afterward. But honestly, that hasn't stopped me from wanting to come back -- clearly I'm still here for my 8th visit! July took great care of us today and was so sweet! She was attentive, helpful, and even made sure to let us know that our favorite pandan waffle was back. Thank you, July!
My third time here, the taste was still good and the beef rib was tender. I am conflicted though, hence the 3 stars. On my second time here, I ordered the oxtail soup and it was just hard!! Unsure, if they were just in a hurry or did not check the oxtail. I guess I just wont order the oxtail next time.
We shopped until we dropped and then wanted to stop by for some Vietnamese food. Our Eats Included: Short Rib Beef Stew (3/5) Flap Meat Brisket & Beef Shank Pho (3/5) Salt and Pepper Tofu (1/5) I was excited to try this spot since it had amazing reviews, but I have to say I was really disappointed. Upon being seated, we were pressured 4 times within 2 minutes to place our order. And once they received our order, we never got any service again. When receiving the food, the waiter had half of his thumb in my pho. Not only that, but the pho wasn't even hot my beef shank was having a hard time cooking and as a result it turned my soup pink. The flavor of the pho was too light and lacked sufficient seasoning. The stew was nice, however I thought the flavor was too light and the carrots were slightly undercooked. The salt and pepper tofu was the worst part of the meal. It was too dry and tough, which made it hard to even eat and enjoy. Overall, would not come back.
I stumbled upon another Pho Ha Noi location. This one is located next to Market Broiler, Five Guys, Dish N Dash, etc. The parking lot is large, so you shouldn't have an issue finding a spot. Walking in, you can use their revolving door or traditional door. But once you step inside, it seems to be grander than their other locations. They have a large bar area and options to dine inside or outside in their patio area with shade and heat lamps. They have separate multi-user men and women's restrooms. They were closing during the period between 3pm to 5pm, so I only ordered a drink. My usual of Vietnamese Ice Coffee. It was bold, strong, like you'd expect. The service was friendly as I was ordering knowing they were about to close. Support your local business.
Got P1 & P8, Pho Broth was great, the amount of beef is now noticeably less & less, spring roll solid. Great ambiance & super clean.
My mom and I actually prefer this location over the one in San Jose. The atmosphere here feels much more relaxed and laid-back, making it a more enjoyable place to sit down and enjoy a meal. The service was decent, although you'll probably need to flag down a server if you need to place another order, ask for extra sauces, or get the check. They weren't very proactive, but they were helpful once we got their attention. One thing I really appreciated was that the pho arrived HOTTT--exactly how pho should be. There's nothing worse than lukewarm broth, so this was definitely a plus. The only downsides were the seating and space. Our table was a little wobbly, which made eating a bit annoying, and the dining area felt a little tight. We had our son's stroller with us, and maneuvering through the restaurant wasn't the easiest. I wish there were just a bit more room between the tables for families with strollers. Overall, it's a solid spot when you're craving a comforting bowl of pho. Between the cozy atmosphere and piping hot broth, I'd happily come back.
I've tried their San Jose location before and wanted to check out this new location. I ordered the P1. Combination Beef Pho, which comes with tender beef cuts and fresh noodles. Their pho was phenomenal; the broth was fragrant and rich. The beef was flavorful, juicy, and tender. And I found out they use Harris Ranch Angus beef, which explains why the meat tasted so good. I also ordered the A7. Ha Noi Special Rolls, a combination of spring rolls, chargrilled pork rolls, and Viet pork sausage rolls. The rolls were decent, with a nice variety of flavors and textures, but the pho was definitely the highlight of the meal!
New favorite pho spot! So cozy and neat inside. Great service. Fast and attentive workers :) We loved everything that we ordered. Honestly exceeded our expectations. Such a great first visit and they even gave us pandan waffles on the house
Nice & clean spot. On the pricey price for Vietnamese food. I love how they have choices of white or dark meat for chicken in Pho. Fresh noodle tasted great. Service could have been better comparing to how they represent their ambience. No one came to check if everything was ok and I had to for attention to get Togo container. FYI, no seafood Pho here.
We were on the way back to the city from Brentwood when we decided to grab some lunch here at Pho Ha Noi. I've been to other locations before so it wasn't our first rodeo with this establishment. We waited about 5-10 minutes on a Sunday. We were seated in a booth with 3 adults + toddler. My husband I both ordered the grilled pork vermicelli although we wanted the Bun Cha but they told us it was sold out. Bummer! The waitress recommended this one as the closest choice to the Bun Cha. Overall the food was good and I don't think it was anything special with this dish to be honest. The grilled pork was cooked well and tasted just the way it should be. Service is good and attentive. Hope to go back to Pho Ha Noi soon to eat some bun cha next time!

Came back to Pho Ha Noi in Fremont for the second time! Last time I had the pho, so this time I wanted to try something different and went with the S.2. I honestly really liked it, the chicken was seasoned really well and had so much flavor. Dan was my server and she was super nice and welcoming. She made the whole experience really pleasant. I'm glad I decided to come back, and I'd definitely eat here again! read more

Stopped by for a quick lunch with my coworker. Food came out fast and hot. I love the combination pho with fresh noodles! Pho always so flavorful. Super rich broth 10/10! I love making my bowl extra spicy and with extra limes/ lemons. Egg rolls were freshly fried and hot, 9/10 I asked 3 people that came to our table for extra lemons and not one person came back with it. I do notice that both Fremont and San Jose locations don't like to give much extras. Overall food was great though the restaurant was a bit conservative with extra lemon slices. read more

It was a pleasant surprise walking into the restaurant as you feel like you're in another place away from Fremont. It's a big clean space with very modern decor. Service was great! Minh Anh took great care of us. He was attentive, quick, and efficient. Husband had the short rib pho which he enjoyed and I tried the bun bo hue which also comes with a short rib too but I asked them to cut it up. Portions are huge so it's worth paying for. They bring out a free waffle for the kids which is a great bonus. I would come back just for the quick service and decent food options. read more
Came here on Mother's Day for lunch before 12pm. Wait time was short. Only 5 min or so. The ambiance is so nice and I wasn't expecting it. The service was quick , a bit too rushed since during the first 5 min being seated, servers came asked us if we were ready to order for 5 times! It was our first time there and we needed more time to look over the menu but they kept coming back and asking if we were ready. I order a pho and it was within 5 min! My daughter wanted tamarind shrimp but was sold out. So she got the roasted chicken and crust sticky rice . The chicken was good abut the sticky rice was too crispy for my daughter. The pho tasted well and not as salty as other pho places. We also got eggroll but that was rather bland inside. Overall, we enjoyed it and will for sure to come back. read more
Vibe: 3.5/5 Service: 4/5 Food: 4/5 Drink: 4/5 Value: 4.5/5 I'm slightly embarrassed to admit that this was my first visit to this legendary establishment. My nail lady recommended the Vietnam town location in SJ over the Cupertino one due to the excessive fees, but when we discovered this location while shopping nearby, we decided to seize the opportunity. We loved the food. Everything tasted fresh, and the meat on my pho fell right off the bone. The portions were very generous and a great value. We will be back for sure. read more

We always make it a point to stop by this place whenever we're in the area, and it never disappoints. Yesterday, it was raining almost the entire day, so on our way home we decided to grab dinner here--and it turned out to be the perfect choice for the weather. The pho was incredibly comforting, especially on a cold, rainy day. The broth was rich, flavorful, and clearly simmered with care. The beef was exceptionally tender--so soft that it was practically falling off the bone without any effort. It made the whole bowl feel even more satisfying. The portion size was also quite generous, definitely enough for sharing. I couldn't even finish mine, so I happily packed the rest to go--no food wasted! Despite the place being consistently busy every time we visit, I appreciate how well they maintain cleanliness throughout the restaurant, even extending to the bathroom, which is always a good sign. The only small downside during this visit was feeling a bit rushed toward the end. A staff member stood near our table while we were finishing up, likely noticing we were almost done, and asked if we were ready. While I understand they were trying to turn tables due to the crowd, it did make us feel a little pressured in that moment. Overall, it's still one of our go-to spots for a warm and satisfying bowl of pho, especially on days when you just need something comforting. read more

We came here on a Wednesday night and it was so pretty and nice inside! They have a special drink special right now for week day happy hour where you get a drink and the next drinks is $1 which is a good deal! The drinks were nice and good tasting! The pho was great and flavorful, no complaints! I would definitely come back to this location for food and drinks. I had a good experience! read more

The best chicken pho! The chicken is juicy. Buy one cocktail and get another for $1! Lychee martinis were so good. And the shrimp rolls were fresh and delicious. Girls night out was a success. read more
Came here for lunch with a friend. The place is spacious and clean. I got their the pho bo dac biet and the ube smoothie. The speciality drinks came out from those robot while the water and food were brought out by the employees. The food and drinks came out reasonable time. Prices are a little pricy for their food and drinks but food is still good. The restaurant is in a plaza with parking. read more
Walked in on Saturday night and had a brief wait for a table for two. Large dining area with lots of filled tables. We tried the crab rolls they were tasty, but I wouldn't say a must order. The short rib pho was solid. Flavorful broth with fresh noodles, GENEROUSLY sized beef rib, and plenty of green onions. Definitely had to use a fork and knife for the size of the rib. Would love to come back and eat this again. read more

We started off with the garlic and fish sauce chicken wings. The smell of fish sauce was more potent than I was expecting relative to other fish sauce chicken wings I've tried. I've grown up eating fish sauce and fish sauce chicken wings, but for some reason, I couldn't eat more than one because of how overpowering the sauce was. I requested spring rolls with only shrimp (no pork). The peanut sauce was a hit with the table! For my entree I ordered the rotisserie chicken. I love the crispy skin on the chicken. I ordered it with the xoi (sticky rice) that's fried crispy. I loved the texture of the fried sticky rice. It was crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. The chicken meat however was quite dry. I've had this dish at their San Jose location and never had any issues with the chicken being dry, so it really caught me by surprise. Pho Ha Noi is expanding quickly but I fear their food quality is not as high as their San Jose location. At least on the night that I visited. read more

My wife and I stopped by our favorite local Vietnamese restaurant tonight, (Pho Hanoi) knowing the food would be as delicious as always. What made this visit especially memorable was meeting our server, Tai, for the first time. Tai truly impressed us with his attentiveness and attention to detail. It seemed like he could anticipate what we needed before we even had to ask. He went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and that our dining experience was exceptional. The outstanding food, combined with Tai's warm and professional service, made for a wonderful evening. We look forward to coming back and hope to be served by Tai again. Highly recommended! read more

Consistently solid pho and one of my go-to spots when I'm craving Vietnamese food in Fremont. I always get the combo beef pho (#1), which comes with generous portions and plenty of meat. Some of the beef cuts can be a little on the fatty side, which I know some people really enjoy, but it's something to keep in mind if you're trying to be more health-conscious. Overall, you really can't go wrong with Pho Ha Noi when you're craving a good, filling bowl of pho in Fremont. The portions are generous, the quality is consistent, and it's a reliable local spot. read more

Any plans to add more vegetarian/vegan options like the Palo Alto location?
Do they have vegetarian options?
They do not have anything vegetarian. Their veggie pho uses chicken broth.
Do they take reservations for large parties?
I just called and they said yes they do take reservations for big parties.
Best pha flavores here? Please advice to me.
Don't go here. There are plenty of other pho places with better flavor. Or, visit their location in SJ which is way better. The fremont location has smaller portions and everything we tried that day (both vegetarian and beef) were lackluster.
