Ordered: Lovers Sampler Plate - the only item that stood out on this plate was the fried chicken, everything else was ehh and just an afterthought. Lovers Special Noodle Soup - I enjoyed the variety of different meats in this dish. It had sliced steak, beef balls, and oxtail which were all tender. However, the broth kind of lacked flavor. Shaken Beef Garlic Noodles - definitely a top favorite! They don't skimp out on the beef pieces which is a plus. The shaken beef is nice and tender and nicely seasoned along with the noodles and veggies. They even have extra sauce on the side to add if you like your noods extra saucy. Grilled Pork, Grilled Shrimp, Egg Rolls & Salad with Vermicilli - very fulfilling and I enjoyed the ratio of meats to noodles. The pork is tender and they gave a good mix of lean/fatty pieces which I enjoyed. Service is great and I have no complaints. There are a ton of tables/booths to sit at. I'll definitely be a returning customer. read more

02-05-2026 Came here for lunch. This is the second time here and I do believe I liked it the first time because I came back. Pros; Customer service was very good. Plenty of seating. interior very clean and inviting. The food is eatable. Had the Lovers Sample Plate. Everything on the sampler was good. Cons; Location is in a poor spot. Parking limited and shared with other businesses in the strip mall. The restaurant is next to a medium size grocery store and across the street from a school. I had a large #17 Pho with sliced steak, brisket, flank, tendon, tripe, and noodles. The broth was lacking flavor. The sriracha was so watered down that it ruined the soup when I used it. The garnishment plate came with very little. needed more basil, bean sprouts, I felt there was enough jalapenos and lemon wedges. I had to share this with another adult. probably won't come back. unless I remember to bring my own sriracha read more

Arrived at 7:57 PM, well before their stated closing time of 8:30 PM, but you wouldn't know it from the attitude we received. The waitress seemed visibly upset that we walked in and immediately told us they close at 8:30, as if we were already inconveniencing her. When I politely asked whether that meant we needed to leave before 8:30, she responded by saying we had "5 more minutes". So 8:35 pm? If the staff is done working for the night before closing time, just update your hours instead of making customers feel unwelcome for simply showing up during business hours. Thanks for the "generosity." We left. read more

Ordered on DoorDash. The fried egg rolls were nice and crispy. The spring rolls were a bit lacking in flavor, and there were only three short segments, not two long ones like in the picture. Next time, I would get the garlic noodles instead. Side of steamed veggies was nice. read more

My veggie rice plate was good, but I wish it had more veggies. Also, on the menu, the vegetarian option is limited. The best part of the meal was the pickled veggies, so yummy. The server was friendly and attentive. read more

Pho Lovers - Vegetable tofu rice plate - Vietnamese Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

I ordered #50, the vegan rice plate- lemongrass tofu, stir fried vegetables and veggie fried tofu over steam rice. The tofu is fried and crispy. The veggie fried rolls were fine. The sauce is nice, pretty strong. There was a little salad with pickled carrot slices. I liked that part of the rice had a crispy shell. There was a decent amount of lemongrass flavor and I didn't find it too spicy, so I liked it overall and thought it was a solid vegetarian option. The other person in my party got the #44, bun cha gio thit nuong or ga nuong (grilled pork or grilled chicken), egg rolls, and salad with vermicelli; they opted for the grilled pork option and also felt it was pretty good. read more

Sadly, I have to give this place a low rating. This restaurant is very close to our home and used to be one of my favorites. I can't have too many carbs, so I asked for half the noodles and to substitute the rest with bean sprouts. However, I was charged $3.00 for a small plate of bean sprouts. I have never experienced this at any other restaurant. I feel like I either have to eat the noodles or pay extra just for a few pieces of bean sprouts, which is frustrating and unpleasant. It upsets me every time. When I asked for the reason, the staff member told me, "it's based on the company," which didn't feel like a helpful explanation. read more

Good standard pho with healthy portions. We ordered the typical Pho, and it was good. The portions were good overall, and they gave us a good amount of meat. No complaints! read more

Came here during a work day for lunch. We were a bit early for lunch time so were able to find a table easily. Finding parking on the other hand can be difficult in the plaza. The restaurant has a welcoming decor. Service is fast and the servers are friendly. I went with the Noodle plate (#42 on the menu). The chicken and shrimp were both very tasty and perfectly seasoned. The portions are generous for the price. I can see myself coming back here for lunch. read more

Pho Lovers - 42. Bun Cha Gio Tom Thit Nuong - Vietnamese Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

we ate there about a week ago. We had a group of 10-12 people. Everyone liked their food and if I rated just on the food I'd give them a 4 or maybe even a 5. For me though, the experience was soured when it came time to pay. First they tack on an automatic 20% tip. I think a default tip of 20% is excessive, especially since prices for everything has already gone up a lot. Next was the fact that they wouldn't split the bill (even if we included the excessive tip). And then the kicker, if you want to use a credit card it's another 3.5%. I understand small businesses wanting to deal with the cost of credit cards but the max I've ever seen, until now, is 3%. Needless to say, we won't be going there as a group any more. The quality of the food doesn't compensate for trying to add nearly 25% on top of the bill. read more

Came in on a weekday for dinner and they were not busy. The menu has lots of options; I went for the garlic egg noodles with grilled chicken and the dish was quite tasty! It had a really good flavor and a generous portion of chicken. I did wish the ratio of noodles to chicken was a little higher since I ended up taking home a few pieces of leftover chicken, but overall I was satisfied with the meal! We also ordered the pork egg rolls as an appetizer which were pretty standard and yummy as well. Service was friendly, though not super attentive during the meal, but that isn't really a big deal to me. You pay afterwards at the front, and I think they have a credit/debit card charge (vs. no extra charge with cash). read more

Pho Lovers - Garlic Egg Noodles - Vietnamese Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

I went at around 11am on a Sunday, and the place was almost empty. The restaurant has plenty of seating, and a casual vibe with some Asian decor. The menu has vegetarian options and quite a large selection to choose from in general. The tables were clean, and our server was quick to take our order, but she mostly left us along for far too long after delivering our food and my party decided to head to the register ask for more utensils, and to pay, since she never came back. I got a passion fruit drink, which was very fresh and I loved the seeds included in it. The beef combo was not as hot as I would have liked when it arrived, and a tad bland. But that's what all the condiments and toppings are for, right? My friend got a chicken dish and egg noodles, which they enjoyed. I also got a tip from one of the staff that you could up-size your order of pho and split, since the portions are pretty generous. read more

The food here is packed with flavor and is delicious I love how friendly the staff are and how helpful they are for being a little shop in Sunnyvale read more

It seems like no matter what you order here it's always good! Service is always very friendly and the pho might be the best in the Silicon Valley in my opinion. The crazy part is before you add anything extra in your pho you'll see how good it is just plain! With extras make it even more flavorful! One of my favorite places to eat! read more

I came to Pho Lovers for lunch the other day, and I'm so glad I did. The place has that cozy, no-frills feel clean, comfortable, and always smells amazing when you walk in. I ordered the Pho Lovers Special with rare steak, beef balls, and oxtail, and it was so good. The broth was super flavorful and comforting you can tell it's been simmering for hours. The oxtail was fall-off-the-bone tender, and the noodles were perfectly cooked. I also got some spring rolls, which were fresh and light with a nice peanut dipping sauce. Service was fast and friendly my food came out quickly, and the staff checked in just enough without hovering. Parking's pretty easy since it's in a plaza, but it can fill up around lunchtime, so maybe avoid the peak rush if you can. Overall, this spot totally hits the spot when I'm craving pho. Great broth, good prices, and chill vibes. Definitely one of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants in Sunnyvale. read more

Food takes FOREVER to come. Mind you when we came they were not busy. No ambiance just basic quick place to eat don't expect any frills. Pho broth is bland and color isn't clear. Definitely other places worth trying. Skip this place. Not sure how they got 4 stars... read more

1st and last time here. We got Pho Dac Biet which was very average. The garnish plate was barely enough for 1 person let alone 2, had like 3 branches of basil and 5 jalapenos. When we asked for more they said it was an extra charge. Pho Hanoi would never. Also when paying at the counter, the guy glares at the terminal as it gets to the tip part. read more

Fast service, really delicious pho, with a huge serving, and with lime and bean sprouts and the things on the side that make it even better. Great small neighborhood restaurant to support! read more

Probably my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Sunnyvale! The restaurant has a hole in the wall vibe, but indoors the decor is very nice and feels welcoming. The food is excellent, and we have been especially impressed with the spicy noodle soup and lemongrass tofu, but the regular pho and spring rolls are also great. The staff are also flexible with modifications to dishes as needed. The drinks menu is also varied, with not just iced coffee (which is delicious here), but many nice fruit juice options as well. The only minor complaints I have are that the service has often been pretty slow, where we had long waits before our food arrived, even when there weren't many other customers, and that parking can be somewhat tough since the lot is small and shared with the adjacent grocery store. read more

The Bay Area has no shortage of yummy pho places, and this happens to be my favorite! I always prefer egg noodle over rice noodle, which this place offers. We also love their fried lemongrass tofu. When I'm not feeling soup, I usually order that with a side of rice. Although tucked away in an unassuming spot, the interior is spacious, clean and homey. It shares a parking lot with a neighboring market though, so parking can be a challenge sometimes. Service is great when it's not busy... but when it is, it can be a little slow, which is expected. But the food always comes out quick and fresh. read more

Just a truly satisfying bowl of pho. Then, throw in tasty appetizers, good company, and it's a great time! That was our experience this past Sunday. Meet up with family to enjoy some good Vietnamese food. We decided on Pho Lovers for their variety in pho and the pho hit the spot. The broth was well made, the meats and noodle ratios were on point, the garnishes fed well into the soup. It was just an overall, excellent bowl of pho. We also added an appetizer, good, and spring rolls, also good. Service was very nice and attentive. You pay up front. Using a credit card will incur a 3.5% charge. Parking can be challenging and limited in the private lot, but I think if all else fails, you should be able to find street parking. I'd come back! read more

Your meal comes out quick and fast, if you only have an hour lunch, this is a great option. We would definitely come back whenever we want some Pho. read more

Had the vegan pho and it was delicious. They have quite a few vegetarian options as well.

3.5 stars. The area was a bit run down so there was reluctance in trying this restaurant. To our surprise the food was good and came out quickly. Each plate was well presented. Large menu with many options. The pho could have had more noodles and meat. One area of improvement: Someone was sweeping while we were eating; I could smell the cleaning chemicals. The restaurant could use some cleaning but the ambiance was overall upbeat and family-oriented. read more

Came here after a soccer game at Levi Stadium, and a nice hot bowl of soup sounded really good because it had been pouring rain a few hours before. I ordered a bun rieu, and the broth was surprisingly light but tasty. The crab pork meatballs were also tender and great! It also came with fried tofu that soaked up the broth, but since the broth was so light, it didn't have a lot of impact. Regardless, it was a satisfying bowl of noodles on a cold day. Service was decent. Not that attentive, but still kept up. read more

The food was good. The service was decent. But my group have decided to never go back. We had a group of 12 people and the restaurant automatically tagged on 20% gratuity. On top of that they charge 3.5% for credit card charges. We tried hard and came up with the cash. It just makes it too expensive and inconvenient for our group so we will never be going back. There are plenty of other great restaurants out there. read more

We came by after a day at Great America. It was easy to find parking in the lot and the restaurant wasn't busy on a Sunday afternoon. Our server was friendly and service was quick. We got the Lovers Special Noodle Soup and Combo Special. Portions were okay. Broth was yummy but I really enjoyed the meat. Everything was super tender and flavorful. We would come back if we're in the area. read more

My family and I came down from sac for a baseball tournament. We went here at 11 am. It was their 11 year anniversary (opening the restaurant) so they gave us 4 free Thai teas. I ordered pho. Broth was tasty and coming from me that's saying a lot since I normally make mines super spicy . But I couldn't add any spice to mines since I had just had surgery on 4 days prior so broth was clean and delicious. My bf ordered a pork chop plate which is said was 10/10 he loved the meat/ shrimp wrapped in tofu skin. I also ordered a spring roll with no shrimp. Peanut sauce was meh, okay. Not the best but the pho was good and the pork chop plate was good. I'm looking to eating here again when I come back down and not post surgery! read more

Stopped by for a quick pho fix--it was decent! The broth had good flavor, and the portions were satisfying. Not the best pho I've had, but definitely not bad either. Service was friendly and the place felt clean and comfortable. A good option when you're craving a warm bowl of pho. read more

Came here for lunch with my coworkers based on one of their recommendations. Decent size, cozy restaurant space with a small parking lot that has reserved spots for the businesses. Upon entering was immediately greeted to get seated. Server was quick on asking for any drinks as we waited for our full party. He was also efficient with the order taking once everyone did arrive. I ordered the hu tieu, kho or dry. You get options of rice noodle (also fresh), egg noodle, or a combo of both for addt'l charge. The side broth has a whole piece of beef with bone, extremely tender; and flavorful with the aromatics from the green onions. Small comes with some pieces/ground of pork, a shrimp, few slices of imitation crab, and couple fish balls. The fried shallots were a nice touch! It got quite crowded closer to peak lunch time, understandably so... being one of the few Vietnamese spots around this area. read more

Agree with other review that this place is a hidden germ for pho. Flavorful broth with tons of meat inside each bowel of pho. I love how they had tons of cilantro and onion to make the flavor even better. Servers were very friendly. Be cautious though! If you pay credit card, there is a service fee that you have to pay. The reason why I gave 3 stars is because of the parking. It was an absolute nightmare. This restaurant shared a tiny parking lot with the grocery market next door. Parking lot was extremely busy and it is almost impossible to get a parking spot. My car almost got hit because everyone else was fighting for parking spot. I also heard my neighbor table saying that they have to park on the street (which is not allowed and they are at risk of getting a parking ticket). read more

Got the number 16 Large. (Brisket and steak?) The bowl is huge and there's a lot of soup but not enough noodles to match the portion in my opinion. Service was nice and there was no wait!

I def will come back when I'm sick again! read more

Pho tasted so comforting. It satisfied my pho-craving. The service was really fast--almost 5 minutes. You get a decent size for a small. I could barely finish a small bowl of pho.

It's been ages since I had a good bowl of pho and the one here finally broke my streak of bad pho experiences. Got the pho ga, the broth was deep flavored, chicken and noodles were perfectly cooked, most places tend to overcook chicken breast so props to them for getting this right. There were tiny bits of fried onion in the soup, they were amazing and they should have more of it. This was just what I needed to warm me up on this extra cold winter night. The pho was light as well and helped my tummy recover from a bad lunch experience earlier in the day. We also got the chicken with vermicelli. The pickled radish and carrots with roasted peanuts provided a nice tart kick to the other elements. The chicken was again perfectly cooked and very flavorful. It came with a sauce on the side but it had a very strong flavor of fish sauce and had to be used sparingly. Service is mediocre, our waitress was unable to recommend a dish and seemed to be in a hurry to get our order. We were not served water as well. I liked the ambiance though, it was colorful. read more
