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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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).
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.
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!
Pho lovers is one of my go-to spot for pho! Always consistent with their broths. My husband was first introduced to this spot by a friend and we have been regulars since! Recent cravings of Bun Rieu kicked in and decided to give it a try here.. happy to report I've been reordering their delicious bun rieu my last 3 trips here :D Also tried their vermicelli bowls and garlic noodles. All DELISH! Definitely give this spot a try, especially with fall/winter coming :) read more

I really like the Pho Lovers combination #11 here. The meat is all tasty especially the ox tail and meatballs. The large is only a dollar more and it's definitely filling. I opted for the flat noodles this last time and I will keep ordering my pho with them. Service is always quick and they offer food to-go. Lots of tables inside but no outdoor seating. Parking can be a little tricky in the shared parking lot so be ready for that. read more

Coming from SoCal, I know there are lots of options when it comes to vietnamese food. I would think there would be some good ones out here but it seems like they're more in San Jose rather than Mountain View or Sunnyvale. Regardless, I would come back to this one. PARKING: Like everyone before me has said, parking is difficult. It's in the same plaza as a grocery store so it shares a lot of those spaces and you can't park in those spaces because it says it's only for the market. Pho Lovers has about 5 or so spaces. Otherwise, just drive down or up the street or go across the street near the park to find parking. WAIT: Came on a Friday night around 6:30 pm and there was no wait. The inside was pretty bustling though so I could imagine a small wait at higher peak times. FOOD: I got the chicken pho (pho ga) and my husband got regular pho. The main reason I wanted to come here was for the fresh flat rice noodles (extra 75 cents), PHO GA - if you like fresh noodles or noodles that are more similar to chow fun, definitely go for the fresh noodles. You can tell they are "fresh" and not dried before they are cooked. They have a great texture and add something extra to the dish. It is 75 cents extra but I think it's worth it. The pho itself was pretty good, probably some of the better ones I've had in this area. The broth was tasty and full of flavor. My only gripe was that the chicken was white meat and a little dry. Husband liked his pho and he said it had this unique flavor that he hasn't had in other pho places. Also bonus is that this place is owned by Vietnamese people. Overall, would recommend for pho. read more

We went here for dinner. The order consisted of Hu Tieu / Mi Tom Cua Dac Biet (Kho / Nuoc): We ordered the soup. This is the pho with seafood and pork. The seafood was delicious and the meat was tender. The broth had very good flavor and the noodles tasted good as well. Pho Ga: The chicken pho was delicious. The meat was tender and tasted exceptional. The noodles were great too. We ordered both the above entrees extra hot and the staff promptly obliged. We ordered large portions and one entree should suffice per person. Nevertheless we had to try their noodles. Mi Xao Toi Ga Nuong: This garlic noodle entree is a good one. to share. It's probably not enough for one person. It was a bit sweet to our taste but was well done and seasoned perfectly. We also tried ordering Pho ga for take out. While the taste was similar (great) the quantity did not match what we got for dine in. If you are getting take out the pho and the ingredients that go into it are packed in separate containers. Ambience: It is a decent sized establishment with lot of open spaces. They have large booths along with the usual tables and chairs. The cutlery is in a stand on every table. The service is very quick and you sever will be at your table to take your order in a couple of minutes. If you are a first time visiter you'll need to request they come back again. Process: Order is taken and food served at the table, however you're required to pay your check at the counter. Quantity: Generous for pho while dine in. Parking: Very limited Times visited: 3 read more

Visited this place because it had good reviews. We arrived about 11:15 am on a Monday. Ordered: 2 # 12 (pho combo: 1 sm & 1 lg) 2 # 4 (shrimp & pork spring roll) 1 Vietnamese coffee w/ condensed milk 1 hot tea 2 waters Received coffee and tea first. Coffee was pre-made, not the fresh pressed one. Tea was pre-made (did not come with tea bag). I tend to like my tea on the stronger side but had no control. Pho bowls came out with veggies. Broth was good, only came with two quarter slice of meatballs in my small bowl. Again, pho came out BEFORE the spring rolls. No water came. We had to ask for our waters. Spring rolls came towards the end of finishing our pho. The peanut sauce was on the sour side... did not taste of peanut. Additional the menu said "green salad wrap". Typically it's lettuce, cilantro, maybe green onions. In this case the rolls had Shiso leaves (Japanese mint) which is not pleasant. The noodles inside the rolls were also soggy. No one came to check on us after delivering the food. We tried to get eye contact to get our checks but no service. Had to step up to the cashier to pay. Overall good size restaurant with dine in seat options (not too small or big). Decent pho. Huge opportunity with service (ie entree should NEVER arrive before appetizer) and customers should not have to ask for their water and walk up to pay for their check UNLESS that's the only method to pay (rare). read more

Overall: Top Vietnamese spot in Sunnyvale. Get yourself there! Com Thit Nuong & Tau Hu Ky (4/5): Flavor bomb. Heroes of the show were the flavor on the meat and the homemade fish sauce. Could eat this every day. Will likely even dream about it tonight. Planning my next trip there now. Pho Lovers Dac Biet (4/5): Got over ambitious and ordered the large, and my heavens it was large. Get the medium as it'll have a better ratio of liquid to fillings. Super tasty. Bonus: Service was top notch - a great experience elevator when both the people and food are pulling you back for future visits. read more

This is our go-to spot for the most amazing garlic egg noodles, cubed filet mignon, onions, and bell peppers! Our favorite dish from here is #34 which is the garlic noodles with filet mignon. The garlic noodles are unbeatable and the filet mignon so nice and tender. Well worth driving up here just for this dish. Service is fast and the owner and employees are kind and friendly! You can call or order online for a to-go order. Parking can be challenging at peak hours but I've always been able to find a spot. read more
BUN BO HUE FOOD: One of the best BUN BO HUE broths I have ever had. The broth is what makes me come back - it is super flavorable (is it the lemongrass? the spice?). I have tried a lot of bun bo hue around this area and more north, and they all seem to be watered down, in comparison. So this is now my go-to spot (though I imagine, bun bo hue in east San Jose being delicious). COST - reasonably priced; the only one thing is that they only take credit card if it's over $15, which sucks because during my lunch break, I only want to eat the bun bo hue, which is like $12-$13, and I do not usually carry cash on me. SERVICE - Good, they are fast. Can get packed during lunch time but not usually busy on weekends or evenings. One thing that sucks that is kind of out of their control is the parking lot. They have like 4 spots for them, so it's very hard to find parking right in front of the restaurant, but there is plenty of street parking around. read more

3.5/5 The food was okay but charging for extra sprouts and a to-go container wasnt expected. The restaurant is pretty clean nothing special. The vegetable pho has a lot of veggies which is good but 15.50 bucks. The service is awesome but overall pricing is a bit higher than other pho places. Parking is tricky so get there early. there is a 3.5 up charge for using card. read more
Authentic, family owned/operated Vietnamese Pho & other options!! DELICIOUS & super friendly customer service. The prices are average for Pho spots. The restaurant is ALWAYS clean and has a great ambiance. It's rare to see this place without people, but this is how you know it's good!! The only con is that parking can be tough (limited spots that are shared with the grocery store next door). read more

Excellent and authentic Vietnamese food here! Prices are a bit high, but the food quality and service are always very good. They recently re-opened for indoor dining (25% capacity). The food is just as good as pre-covid. I can't wait to go back again! read more

Came in to enjoy some hot Pho on a rainy day. When we walked it it was pretty busy in there and their dining room is a pretty decent size. Although we didn't have to wait long for a table, just a few minutes. Service is pretty fast here. We decided to go with their lovers specials... pho lovers noodle soup which has a combo of beef (oxtail, beef ball and steak), lovers special seafood & pork, and the lovers sampler plate (assortment of fried appetizers). The broths were really good and tasty, they cam out nice and piping hot. I usually go for the beef but I'm glad we ordered the seafood it was yummy and something different the I usually get for a change. The seafood came with shrimp, fish balls and imitation crab. It was all very satisfying and very filling. I enjoyed the food here and can see why they were so busy. read more
Best pho in mountain view & sunnyvale area! I got the #12 combo and it was just perfect. Not-too-heavy broth with generous amounts of meat! I could tell that they pay a lot of attention to getting fresh, great quality ingredients. Everything from the bean sprouts to the beef slices, all the ingredients were very fresh and well cut. The flat noodles (extra $0.85) are a MUST! The noodles really did feel fresh, not one of those off-the-shelf dried thin noodles. Their service is really great too! Always smiling and treating me with nothing but genuine kindness. And the atmosphere just felt so so cozy. read more

I work not far from here so it's convenient to meet my buddies and have a good meal before heading home. Their shaking beef is really good and so is their Vietnamese crepe. Crunchy and tasty. They do get very busy for lunch so just plan ahead. Parking also is tight but street parking is available. The staff are pretty chill, and they get your food at your table pretty quick especially if you are on your lunch hour. Overall, great neighborhood Vietnamese joint to go to not far from all the hi-tech companies nearby. Cheers! read more

I come here occasionally and would typically order nem nuong cuon, pho (number 12), and my husband would order hu tieu mi kho. I like their food and their portion. The only downside is parking (if you come at lunch time it might be hard to find parking) and the price. They actually charge you additional 3.5% if you pay by card. So get your cash ready and get your grub on! read more

I can see why this place is 4 stars!!! I was lucky enough I made the location cut from this place on DoorDash (Sunnyvale to Campbell). I was craving a vermicelli bowl and wanted to try somewhere new. What was awesome: the noodles were so fresh, I could tell there weren't sitting around for awhile. The portion of food was also big! I ordered the chicken, shrimp and egg roll vermicelli. A tad heavy on the lemongrass seasoning but overall great. I requested no bean sprouts or peanuts and they followed my additional instructions perfectly. Next time I order, I'll try out the Pho. I'll be back! read more

This is probably definitely my favourite place to come get some of that Ox Tail pho! I don't even think I've ever tried any of the other stuff, but man I tell ya, that Ox Tail is like WHHOOOOOOO YEAH BABY! I don't think that there would ever even be a reason to try anything else, but I can tell ya what my friends did... They got the shaken beef. You know the whole, "shaken, not stirred" yadda yadda yadda, but it totally blew their tits off! They were like, "Oh my golly, this is some mad decent shaken beef" So yeah, that's my story about the two dishes. I could only imagine that a bunch of their other junk is probably pretty good too. But I will leave that for you to decide, and then you can tell me! KThxBai!! LUVYOU!!!! read more

As someone who has eaten pho most of their life, it's like pho hoa level here. If there's no vietnamese customers, this place isn't for you if you're looking for the good stuff. Didn't even bother trying the broth after seeing the disappointment upon arrival. Nope, never again. Don't understand why the extra charge for using card to pay. read more

I have go-to places for pho, and I feel like even though this is slightly out of the way for me, I'd make this one of my go-to places! I liked how fast the service was. (I came with two friends around noon-ish on a Sunday.) The food came out quickly, but it was still quality. I ordered a small pho with just tendon and brisket, and unlike other pho places, this place doesn't skimp on the meat! I loved the broth. Some pho places taste like the broth was mixed with some cleaning product, but this place's broth wasn't like that at all. It was hearty and not too oily. I also ordered the Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk. The bitterness of the coffee is pretty strong, but nonetheless of course the condensed milk balances it out well. -- The only downside to this place: parking is suuuuuper limited!!!! read more

My all time fav location for the shaken beef & tomato rice. It comes with tons of veggies too, which I love! The beef is so tender and juicy and flavored perfectly. I've always wanted to try a different dish every time I go but I always end up getting the shaken beef because you can never go wrong! read more

Any Gluten Free options?
Do they deliver at the moment? And if so, do we have to call to put in the order? What's the delivery fee?
You can use Doordash to order delivery. They're available on Doordash now. You also can call to order and pick up.
Tried calling in this Shelter in Place order but no one picked up. Are they open for take out?
They are opening. I think from 11 AM to 8 PM for take out only. If you want to be delivered, you can do it by Doordash.
Where can you park? I see the restaurant can seat a few dozen people but there's only 5 parking spots designated for the restaurant. All the other parking is reserved for the grocery store next door under threat of towing.
I parked at the grocery store - shopped for five minutes supporting that shop and then moved my car to a spot that opened up for the Pho restaurant nextdoor.
Does the vegetarian Pho have msg?
No none of the Phos have MSG if you ask for it!!
