However, there were plenty of tables that had food still sitting on them after guests left which was kinda off putting. The atmosphere isn't anything special; it's a big box with lots of tables.

We came on a Sunday at 5:30pm not particularly super busy and there were tables filled. We walked…read morein and didn't get greeted and took awhile to get seated. There were 4 of us. We ordered 4 dishes. 2 came out first. And my wife and son literally finished their entire meal and the other 2 dishes didn't even come out yet. Ironically, we didn't order pho but we ordered: -BBH. Too Salty. No pork blood. -rice plate - the fish sauce wasn't good -vermicelli bowl - the beef was tender and flavorful -banh Xeo - Pickled vegetables didn't taste pickled. The coconut milk tasted over powering. Overall, I think this is a very below standard Vietnamese restaurant. 2.5 stars

I recommended we grab pho but with the initial pick being closed, we pivoted to Pho Nation! When we came for dinner, it was quiet. We were one of the only customers but a few diners were coming in and out for takeout. The restaurant is super casual with not much decor or detail to it. The service was just okay and a bit confusing. For those dining in, they give you a menu and you order with them but everything else you need to go to the counter for (pay, water, any requests). We also weren't checked on during our meal. For food, I had the Regular Chicken Breast Pho. Even being a regular, it was a massive portion that I took home! The broth was good but I was never given a spoon. The noodles were on the smaller end as if they were cut. When I received my bowl the noodles were all compact so my theory is they just dumped it in there and assumed the broth would break it up. The chicken was tender. Everything else was on the table such as utensils, sauce, and garnishes. My old manager said her dish was great! I can understand this might be a fave pho place for residents in the area but I'm not sure if I'd willingly go back. It was great to try and the food was good. The restaurant is off San Pablo Dam Road with a giant private parking lot outside.

This used to be a Taco Bell…read more Three of us came here for lunch today and we all wanted to try their sandwiches. Both my companions got pork sandwiches. My friend decided to get extra meat and that was an extra $4. They also gave her double the vegetables for an additional $4 and extra meat as well. Her Thai iced tea was quite expensive for $6. Usually restaurants charge about $4 for Thai iced tea. I got their tofu sandwich which was full of tofu and not enough vegetables. I personally would have prefer more vegetables and less tofu. I did not like their tofu because it is a pre-fried tofu which is probably sold at Ranch 99 and from overseas. That kind of tofu has a non- creamy and somewhat tough texture. It's a bit dry even though they braise it. I prefer non-fried tofu that is slightly sauteed maintaining the creamy tofu texture. This was overly processed tofu. I will not order their tofu sandwich again. I would like to try their chicken sandwich next time and hope that they give me more vegetables. It will be nice to try some of their noodle soups which everyone else was ordering except for our table. The service was pretty quick. Their bathroom had no amenities like toilet paper. I will come back but don't know when.

Both the broth in their Pho and their Bun Bo Hue are sooo good. My large Bun Bo Hue was massive.

Make sure you order the Bun Bo Hue with the pig feet, you won't regret it. The spring roll was good but nothing to write home about. The service was super friendly. I think I may make this place my go to. Next time? I am going to have their chicken wings and a great big bowl of Pho!
