2 years later and as a certified Vietnamese woman who loves viet food... this is definitely the best beef Pho in the Tri-Valley. The broth is SO flavorful, beefy, seasoned, and will cure all ailments. My husband and I get this place at least once a week and always compare it to our favorites in San Jose. YUM! Please come support this business. read more

I ordered pho through DoorDash about two weeks ago and was honestly shocked by the portion of soup I received. The broth was supposed to come in a 32-oz container, but it was filled to only about one-third of the cup. On top of that, the steak pho portion was very tiny -- I only got 7 small slices of meat. I would much rather order from Saigon Restaurant in Tracy because their soup is good and they don't cheap out on meat. DoorDash is already expensive with marked-up menu prices, service fees, delivery fees, and tips. To then short customers on the most important part of the meal is not okay. This isn't a Japanese restaurant serving tiny ramen portions -- it's a Vietnamese restaurant, and pho portions are supposed to be generous, especially the broth. Very disappointed. I won't be ordering again. read more

My family and I like to explore different Pho restaurants and u fortunately this place was not good at all. Food had no flavor at all. Would not come back here or recommend. Do you ask for proof of receipt and date of when your customers give you a positive review? This is pretty unprofessional of you as an owner. People provide their reviews to criticize your restaurant. People provide their feedbacks so that the place can do better or see which area they need to improve on. read more

We stopped in for a quick sandwich! The resturant was very clean and service was quick. The sandwiches were pretty large and very flavorful! They were packed with meet and veggies. We will definitely be back! read more

Hands down this is the best Pho spot I've ever had. The spring rolls are so good and tasty. The pho is fresh and filling. The Thai tea is also so good! It's rare to find a pho spot where the appetizers, Thai tea, and soup are all good. But this place is a winner. And it's down the street from my home. A win for me!! Customer service is great as well! I'll be here more often! read more

Felt the dishes were a bit on the pricier side, but everything was really good. Our party tried a variety of dishes--beef pho, chicken noodle, chicken vermicelli, chicken banh mi, and a bbq beef over rice plate. We were the only people inside around 10:30AM on a Sunday morning and the food came out promptly after ordering. Each dish was flavorful and delicious. We all finished our plates/bowls. My highlights: the banh mi bread was amazingly soft (I always anticipate a scratched up roof of my mouth whenever I take a bite of a banh mi baguette, but this bread's exterior was pleasantly soft and still crisp) and the chicken and pho broths were both extremely flavorful. Service was fast and friendly, interior is spacious and clean, and food was great. I did think the portion sizes were on the smaller side and prices are slightly higher than average. Overall, we had a great meal and will likely be back soon. read more

Pho Queen - Grilled Chicken with Vermicelli - Vietnamese Near Me - Pleasanton, California

Always welcoming, friendly and efficient service. Clean restaurant & restrooms. The egg rolls were good & full of minced filling. Pho was the star and delicious. Good meat to noodles ratio. The broth stands out from any other pho restaurants in the area. The broth was clean and had depth of flavor. And the beef flavor really came through. This was a noticeable difference & great improvement from the prior visits. The broth in prior visits was already pretty good but this enhancement clearly establishes a bar for the other pho restaurants. It's obvious that the sweet chef/owner cares about the food she's cooking & sharing with her patrons. She comes out to check on everyone. read more

I was stuck on the 680 traffic and found this place on my detour to 580. Glad I found this spot as I was hungry. Maple parking right in front of the store. Plenty of seats and I was promptly greeted by host and front cashier. Bathroom was clean so I was looking forward to clean hearty food to eat. Grabbed the perfectly crispy eggrolls and dipping sauce. Was not oily at all so 5 * for that. Settled on fresh lemon water and the special pho bowl with a huge bone in. Food was well balanced and they didn't skim on the meat! Vegetables were fresh and full of flavor. Food turned out so well I decided to order the grilled pork spring rolls and some other dishes and more. Pho to go. Food came out fast after I was done with my eat in meal. Everything was wrapped and packaged right. Nowadays that's hard to find with everything being so expensive to run a small business that I find stores skim out on quality of meats or portions . Definitely coming back to this hidden gem read more

Absolutely delicious! Ordered a large Pho Dac Biet and shared with my 2 year old who devoured her entire bowl. The pho here is packed with rich flavor, fresh ingredients, and the broth tastes like it's been simmered with care. The portions are generous The service is just as wonderful--friendly, fast, and welcoming. The restaurant itself is clean, cozy, and makes you feel right at home. Hands down one of the best pho spots I've ever been to in the Tri Valley! read more

Pho Queen - Pho Dac Biet - Vietnamese Near Me - Pleasanton, California

Saturday lunch and friends suggested Pho Queen. We have passed by this restaurant many time when driving through the street so this is our first time trying. I was craving for vermicelli so I ordered the grilled pork vermicelli, while my husband ordered the grilled pork and shredded pork rice plate. My friends ordered the grill pork rice plate and a bowl of pho. The grilled pork was delicious with the right amount of char. The color is darker than some other Vietnamese restaurant which I do prefer the stronger flavor. Only if there is a bit more vegetables for the vermicelli it would be perfect. The rice plate was good too. I did tasted some of the shredded pork and the steamed egg and they tasted similar to other places. Some restaurants would provide a small bowl of soup with the rice plate but not here. We also ordered spring rolls to share. The rolls were ok and tasted like every other Vietnamese restaurant. The service was decent but they forgot to give us napkins, only the ones ordered the rice plate got their forks and knives wrapped in napkins. We had to ask for it but that was no big deal. The lady boss came over and asked if we wanted flan as they just made some. The picture looked great do we ordered one to share. It was pretty good but it would be better if there was more smooth and silky with less air bubbles. Over all it was a pretty good experience with good tasting food with friendly service. read more

Came here after enjoying the sunshine at the park, and it was pretty good! We had a big group of eight (four couples total), and while us ladies had a journal club meet-up, our mens played basketball. So you can imagine we were starving afterward! We ordered a few different things. Between me, my husband, and another couple, we shared some fried tofu, got a three orders of fresh spring rolls, and got a bowl of pho with brisket. The other two couples ordered two vermicelli plates, another brisket pho, and a rice plate. Everyone really enjoyed their meals! As far as service goes, it was just our group and another party of two dining in at the time. Our food came out super fast, and our server was really nice! He even put on the basketball game for our table to watch. The food was decently priced, and of course, gratuity was included for our big group. Not bad for a pho place I've never been too. Will keep it in my arsenal for the future just in case I'm in the area and craving it. read more

Pho is good. I got the rib pho special and it didn't disappoint. Service was slow but we were not in a rush.

Tast ok price for everything is to high if compare to others place. Noodles soup so so....

Soup is very good, nice and seasoned and rich beefy flavor. Pho Dac Biet comes with steak, beef ball, tendon, flank, tripe and even a beef rib, so very good value. Ordered some vinegar white onions on the side with the steak and lime, makes for a perfect combo. read more

Currently my go-to pho spot in Dublin/Pleasanton. I like that the broth is rich and savory, without being too salty. And they give generous amounts of meat, along with your typical fresh ingredients (basil leaves, bean sprouts, lime, jalapenos). Their vermicelli plates are flavorful and filling too! The space is clean and open, and the staff is always friendly. Great value! read more

It was a cool evening, ideal weather for pho. This is the place. Fairly large dining room with plenty of tables. It was a matter of tables needing to be cleared and place mats installed they have an extensive menu. Of course, it's the PhonQueen so go with their will house. I had ordered a middle bowl of rare beef and brisket pho and jasmine milk tea with boba. The milk tea came quickly then followed by the pho with the accompanying basil leaves, lemon and bean sprouts. What makes pho special is the broth, at first taste the broth was on point. The rare beef and brisket were tender. Overall it was an extremely nice bowl of pho. I have visited this place a couple of times prior. It hasn't disappoint read more

Pho Queen - Tofu with Garlic Noodle - Vietnamese Near Me - Pleasanton, California

Pho Queen Restaurant offers excellent quality Vietnamese food--some of the best pho you'll find in Pleasanton. The flavors are rich, and ingredients are fresh. If you're after a satisfying bowl of pho or a well-made bánh mì, this place delivers on taste. That said, the prices have increased significantly and are hard to justify, even considering inflation. A bánh mì for $16, a large pho for $23, and spring rolls for $14 push the lunch bill up fast. Our total came out to nearly $60 with tip--for just three items at lunch. That's a steep tab for a casual Vietnamese meal. The restaurant recently revamped its menu and now offers vegan options, which is a welcome addition for plant-based diners. Still, you're paying a high premium for the convenience and location. For context, we're originally from San Jose, and are used to the authentic and reasonably priced pho options in Little Saigon. Compared to those, pho queen feels very overpriced. At this rate, we'll likely drive to San Jose--or explore newer spots in Livermore--for our pho fix. read more

Overall 2.75/5. These seems uncharacteristic given the other reviews I've read there. But this review is based in my experience there. Food (2.5/5) Banh mi combo (2/5) - The bread was much drier and denser and not crispy like other banh mi's that I like that I've had in the past. There also not much flavor to the bread. Pho tai #2 (3/5) the broth didn't have as big of a flavor profile than I would have prefer. The rare steak was good. The noodles were thicker cut and chewier than I preferred. Food speed (3/5) Staff was friendly but it took much longer to get the pho out than from other places I've had pho at Parking: Enough parking given it's in a complex. read more

4.5 stars Wow, what a gem in Pleasanton, CA! My bf and I had a feeling this place was gonna be legit when we saw the printed menus stapled together like a school report. Walking in, the restaurant is clean and bright. We were seated quickly. Off the bat - Check! Water is served with a lemon slice, which is a nice touch. Bonus points! Now to the good part: My bf and I ordered the #1 special. He got the large and I got a medium. Both were more than enough for us. The ratio of noodles to broth was perfect. Also lots of meats, tendon, tripe - yum. The broth: Clean tasting with their unique spice blend. Not the deepest of beef-flavored pho I've had - But I think it's the style and I'm for it. The broth is light and balanced. My bf and I enjoyed it without any add ons. (We usually add stuff like hoisin, sriracha or chili sauce when we feel like the broth is lacking something.) We also liked the noodles as they seemed cooked to order. They were hot along with the broth and with the best texture! They weren't mushy or hard - just right. Most places pre-portion their noodles in bowls and pour hot broth on top. I believe Pho Queen cooks their noodles fresh before serving. And the beef rib? Ugh - so satisfying. Overall, we were both so impressed and said we would visit this place again when we're in the area. Bravo, Pho Queen! read more

This place definitely hits the spot when you're craving pho. We ordered the rare steak + fatty brisket pho (one regular for me and one XL for husband). The broth was tasty, meat was standard, and the basil and bean sprouts provided were fresh and clean. We ordered the egg rolls too, which were pretty standard (nothing super special but yummy and crispy). The ambiance was clean and casual. We also ordered the grilled pork rice plate which was delicious, and the grilled chicken vermicelli bowl. The chicken was tender and juicy, but a few strands of the vermicelli were slightly uncooked (fortunately I actually enjoy the extra chewiness most of the time). The food was quick to come out, and the staff was very friendly and attentive. You'll need to pay your bill at the front, which is pretty customary for a lot of Vietnamese restaurants I've been to. We will definitely be back, as this place is only half a mile from our house! read more

Went to try Pho Queen last night for dinner. Ordered the XL #1 beef pho just like I always do at a new pho place. I was surprised when it came out with a beef bone on the side. It was a very nice touch. The pho broth was tasty. I thought it was a little sweeter than other pho places I have tried, but still great flavor. Also got an order of spring rolls. Also very good. My only complaint was that the noodles were kinda breaking up while I was eating it, but it could have been my fault because I ate the meaty beef bone first. It was definitely filling and I couldn't finish all my noodles (which never happens). Server was very friendly and kept checking on us to see if we needed anything. Will definitely be back. read more

Pho Queen - Beef pho. - Vietnamese Near Me - Pleasanton, California

There's a handful of pho choices Dublin/Pleasanton. The pho here might be a tad better than some! We ordered: #1 Pho XL A good amount of meat, the beef rib was tender, soup was good flavor. I do have to agree with another yelper that the soup base was a little on the sweeter side (not preferred) Bun noodle: hearty bowl of noodle. A good amount of meat and pretty well flavored but also a tad on the sweeter side. Egg roll was good. Pork chop rice: 3 slices of pork chop. Good portion. Service was good. Restaurant was clean. read more

Took a stroll during lunch rush to find Pho Queen quiet and empty with just one table of customers. Waited around for a couple of minutes before the staff showed up to greet us and let us know we can choose any table. Ordered a regular of the pho noodle soup #10 with spring rolls. The spring rolls consisted of shrimp and pork. It tasted like what you'll find at any Viet restaurant. I would prefer to have my spring rolls with only shrimp though. The peanut/hoisin dipping sauce was lacking peanut butter taste. The pho was decent. We were slightly taken aback by the sheer fact that the herbs plate didn't accompany our pho. We had to request for it. My husband wasn't satisfied with the pho. There were a couple pieces of tendon that tasted somewhat overdue. My bowl was okay. Just wish the noodles didn't come in a big glob like it was sitting around waiting to be brought out upon a customer's order. Service was quick and friendly and it was nice and quiet. Would I go back? Probably not. There's better options within a 5-mi radius. But to each their own. read more

Ordered the seafood pho n it was so bland it tasted just like hot water also ordered egg rolls n they were under cooked. Never again!

We had a terrific experience here. The owner is a super friendly woman who was also our server. There were several customers when we went, but she handled everyone in a timely fashion and with a great attitude and cheerfulness. We could tell she's an extremely hard worker and we have a lot of respect for people like her. The restaurant itself was nothing fancy but it was clean which is what matters most to me! The food was so good and reasonably priced in my opinion. We could tell the pho broth was cooked for hours, it was rich in flavor and we couldn't get enough! We will definitely be back and I recommend Pho Queen to everyone, a really great business to support! read more

Dac Biet Combination Sandwich #1 on their menu. 1st thing. $11.50 gravely disappointed. Where's the veggies? Where's the meat at? Where's all that good good stuff in a yummy banh mi. Bread is tender. Pate is tasty. They've got the right mayo. Why skimp out on a sandwich that's $11, which no one ever other probably. I'd give this sandwich 1 star. Service by the lady at the counter 1 star. Where's the personality, customer service, anything that sets you apart from a rock: might as well be replaced by a kiosk. Still gonna give this place 4 stars because Asians gotta represent. Also, I haven't had anything else on their menu. So I'm a believer of 2nd chances read more
