Great oxtail & beef rib pho. Portions were large, broth is really good & price is reasonable for the portion size

Seeing this recently family run pho and boba shop, I have been curious especially after browsing their menu. There was something unique about their dishes. Finally the opportunity arose to visit. I went in with the thought of ordering the short rib with bone and ox tail with baked baguette. At the time of order, I had copped out and substituted the baguette for rice. And wanted to try their coffee with egg cream. Service was friendly and food delivery deliberate. It was after lunch rush so no hurry. The food quality was sufficient though initially it looked intimidating. There was plenty of meat on the short rib bone but the oxtail was three small pieces, not comparable to the short rib. For my appetite, overall the quantity was sufficient. The broth that came with the short rib and oxtail was very good especially after bean sprouts, basil, lime, and siracha made it more enjoyable. I wish I had stuck with the original dish design with the baguette. That would be different dining experience. My initial swallow of the coffee made my food extra salty but it subsided. Overall, it was a pleasant experience and would come back to try other dishes. read more

This is a must try, you won't be disappointed!!! read more

I went cherry picking with my family in Brentwood. On our way back home, we decided to stop by Pho Lovers. The restaurant was quite small, but the food didn't disappoint anyone. The Pho beef short ribs and Pho Oxtail were delicious. The pho soup base was tasty and authentic Vietnamese Pho, I can tell you that. The waitress was friendly and the service was fast, we got our food within 20 minutes. They got the name right, "Pho Lovers." I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

After a night out we wanted to get some pho and recently found out this new place and their broth is flavorful (consider I'm from Vietnam and pretty picky with the broth taste). Restaurant is small but the seating lay out are pretty comfortable between customers read more

We were in the neighborhood so we decided to stop by for an early dinner. They gave you a dinky 9 oz cup filled with water as soon as you are seated. We ordered the S4 sizzling rib platter with rice instead of the chewy Baguette. The broth that came with the dish is salty. Yes, it is literally the pho broth. I got very thirsty from consuming too much sodium. I asked for water. They refilled the water. When I asked for water again. The waitress was not happy and gave me the look. We waited, waited, she finally came back with the pitcher, filled water to 1/3 of the cup, that's 3 oz, and took off. This is ice water, I don't get what is the problem with this place. And they are not even busy. $50 for two entrees served in plastic cup, rice in paper bowl, not including tips, and they try to skimp on the ice water, that is just wrong, IMO. read more

We came here for the first time and we will be back. The food quality was amazing and the service was great. The staff were really helpful and kind.

Small little place, approximately 20-25ppl can fit in there. Our waiter was really friendly from start to finish. The price was average for the cost of things these days. Ordered the Ribs/Oxtail Soup which was little portion, but very flavorful. The Pho (not shown) was decent size and also very rich and not bland. The rice place was pretty good. Ordered 2 different types the Banh Mi sandwiches was delicious . First time having coffee with egg yolk froth on top, strong and savory. This place also has sugar cane drinks, a little heavy on the ice, but love that it's offered. They also give customers a kumquat tea, very light fragrance and refreshing for a hot day Would I come here again? Most definitely! read more

Condiments were limited. The broth was great though. It's nice that the beef ribs came in a different bowl. However, I didn't know that by ordering this I wouldn't get the other typical meat in my broth ie meatballs, steak, etc. but that's on me since I should had paid attention to the menu. Price was a bit pricey for what it's worth. read more

Mediocre pho redeemed with great service and good coffee. Pho was a bit disappointing. Portion seemed a lot smaller than what I'm used to for a 17 dollar price point. Noodles a bit underdone for my taste but that's ok. Major short coming for me was the broth. A thick layer of oil covered the top of the soup. It was so bad that it made everything else somewhat tasteless. Soup was also a bit sweet for my taste. Overall I will probably give this place another chance after some time has passed but for now I'll stick with my regular spot. read more

So glad to have this spot in Dublin, been seeing similar restaurant concepts in Sf and SJ, but it's nice to have something closer to the East bay. With that said, the restaurant is intimate, it only seat around 8 ish tables, there was a wait when we got there and about a 10 min or less wait for the 2 of us, other parties group of 5 was a bit longer due to the size of the restaurant as they had limited seating. Onto the food, the menu has a small selection: banh mi, pho, and the create your own banh mi option, along with tons of yummy drinks to choose from. If you're looking for appetizers or other viet dishes, this isn't the place. The service is fast and they also serve a citrusy water, not lemon or lime, kind of reminds of me kalamansi ( very refreshing and goes perfect with your mean) The pho #1 was delicious, great broth and good quality steak, we asked for steak on the side. 5 stars, but down side if you like sauce they only have siracha and hoisin. The c2 pork, pate and eggs dish came with side salad and soup, unfortunately they ran out of baguette so they subbed me with rice. Due to the richness and sweetness of the dish and lack of baguette to soak up all the goodness, the rice wasn't as good to me, as if I had the baguette; as I would of imagine. 3 stars. Based on what I was served. A down side, which I came to realize a bit late into the meal, I noticed the ladies taking the order for this specific dish didn't immediately tell anyone they're out of the baguette, even though she mentioned to me they're out only later till the order was ready to serve that they're out and will substitute with rice. They didn't inform anyone while they were ordering, all the tables after me and before we noticed had rice but only after the order is en route, as if they just ran out - didn't like that business practice, but giving them the benefit of the doubt as they were pretty slammed. Overall, it was a sort of a miss this time, but will give another try again. read more

Hallelujah! Finally a Vietnamese restaurant in the Tri Valley that does not only serve basic pho and rice plates . We came here for the sizzling steak and egg. Bonus they had sugarcane juice with many flavors. Looking forward to coming back and trying the Vietnamese coffee, other specialty drinks, and pho. The Banh Mi Chao (aka Bo Ne) included meat, eggs, pate, baguette, and side salad. My advice to them is to put the fish sauce on the side cause my Caucasian hubby did not like it on the salad. As a Vietnamese person that used to live in the South Bay I would say this is on par with many of the Vietnamese restaurant in the San Jose and OC area. The sugarcane juice was really good and they did not skim on the sugarcane. The ambiance is nice and clean. Customer service was good. I hope they update the menu to include another dish that isn't common around here or some appetizer. read more

Pho Lovers opened up in a space inside the Ulfert Plaza that used to be Chan's Kitchen. They focus on pho, banh mi and banh mi chao which is sizzling platter served with baguette. What's more, they serve various variations of sugarcane drinks which is rare in the Tri-Valley area. They also serve egg coffee. Although the restaurant is small, it's bright and nicely decorated. The staff was very friendly and efficient. Sugarcane Juice with Passion Fruit - slightly tangy and sweet at the same time. Very refreshing for the summer. Beef Ribs Special Noodle Soup - the dish came in two different bowls. One bowl for the noodles and another bowl for the beef ribs. The two broths tasted different. The broth with the beef ribs tasted sweeter than the other one. They gave two huge beef ribs and the ribs were off-the-bone tender. Very soothing and satisfying to eat. I had a very pleasant first experience. Will surely return to check out other dishes and drinks. read more

My new favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Dublin. My husband and I were craving legit Vietnamese cuisine over the weekend but did not want to make a trek to SJ or Oakland. Hubs really wanted to try Pho Dublin since they have other locations in South Bay so that prob meant it's decent somehow. Boy were we impressed! I really like their Bo Ne, serving size is pretty big and could serve two people. The bread is probably the best baguette I've had in a while - very fresh, airy but crispy, slight hint of butter and garlic. It seems like it's handmade from the restaurant itself bc you will not find this type of quality anywhere nowadays. The filet migon did remind us of bulbugi meat, though the bread and pate made up for it. 10/10 - it gets pretty busy during lunch time! read more

HIDDEN GEM! Pho Lovers recently opened up, located in the bottom floor of the Ulferts Center plaza. They have their menu & business hours displayed clearly on the window if you ever stroll by! Their service was great and friendly, seating us quickly as well as being attentive to our readiness & drinks if they were full or not! The food came out incredibly quick, granted there were only a few others in the store, it was still very fast. Keep mind this restaurant is smaller, seating around 24-30 people with 8 tables total. The ambience is great and isn't loud or disturbing to a customer's experience. The food was absolutely phenomenal. The flavor, presentation, and price were all absolutely worth it & exceeded my expectations, especially compared to surrounding restaurants. The broth of their pho is one of the best I've had here, being rich, flavorful, and smooth. Their Banh Mi was also great specifically their banh mi (Vietnamese baguette). It was light and fluffy authentic bread, and DOES NOT scratch the top of your mouth unlike Lee's lol. As a Vietnamese person myself, I'm grateful to have found this place and can't wait to continue supporting them. Stop by if you can!!! read more

Good quality food and Excellent service. We ordered 2 drinks and they only charged us one, so we let them know and the owner treated us the second drink because they forgot to charge us. He was so sweet! We will definitely come back for some more pho next time when we are around the area. Thank you again for the drink! The drink was so good that we had to order second read more

Today, I'd tried their item#BD3: Bánh Mi Chẩm Soup Phố Hg Sườn Bò & Đuồi Bò - Beef Rib & Oxtail Pho Dip Banh (Combination of Oxtail & Beef Ribs Pho Soup Served with Toasted Baguette). This is the best pho soup I ever have! First, the baguette is made in-house and when it is delivered with the pho soup, the outside is crispy while the inside is soft! Dipping the baguette into the pho soup is super yummy! Talking about the pho soup, the owner made the soup with lots and lots of ox bone and no MSG added! The soup is slow cooked for 24 hours!!! This is why their pho soup is tasting so great and not feel thirsty after drinking it. Finally, their oxtail and beef ribs. The tenderness of the meat on the oxtail is just right so that it is not falling apart as well as the meat is not over cooked, and the same for the beef ribs. Their cook had timed his slow cooking on the oxtail and beef ribs very well, too! But most importantly is that their oxtail has not gamy taste at all!!! For a lazy person like me, getting meat out from oxtail & beef ribs is not my dish and I do not like baguette at all because it hurts my upper cavity! But after trying this dish (Item#BD3) from Pho Lovers, it completely changes my faith with oxtail, beef ribs, and baguette! This dish (Item# BD3) is highly recommended!! Also, their service is very good and friendly, too!! read more
