Came here by mistake! A friend had recommended a pho spot, and when I looked it up, I was only paying attention to the street address and not the name. We ended up here instead, and I am SO glad we did. It's a small local spot, and it's always encouraging to walk into a restaurant and see people from the culture the food comes from enjoying the food themselves. That was definitely a good sign for us. We sat by the window, and someone brought us water. We needed a minute to look over the menu since we had never been here before. Once we decided, it did take a little while for someone to come back and take our order. After we ordered, though, the food came out within 10-15 minutes. I ordered the beef pho. The broth was delicious, and they were not skimpy with the meat. I ordered a small, and when I saw the bowl, I thought it might not be enough, but it definitely was! My husband ordered the KBBQ ribs, and they had to be the best ribs we've ever had at a Vietnamese pho spot. My husband has not stopped talking about wanting to go back. We live in Union City, so we haven't been able to make it back yet, but we will definitely make it a point to return. My kids shared the chicken and rice plate, which was a good portion, but my boys are big eaters, so next time we'll probably get them their own. The flavors were fantastic, and I'm so glad we accidentally ended up here. We will definitely be back as soon as we can! read more

Food is great. I especially like the beef stew and I keep coming back for it. Unfortunately, everytime we eat here, it seems the old man has something against us. Came in around midnight after the Usher concert. When we walked in the place was full so we were told to wait. Then while waiting a bunch of other groups started coming in. When the lady owner told us to go to table 20 the old man stopped and us and scolded us stating this table was supposed to be for another group that was there first. We told him the lady told us to go there. He then went all the way to the front to confirm in which the lady told him exactly what we told him. All the other groups behind us were then sat but the old man literally took everyone else's order but our table. The lady owner signaled to him multiple times to take our but he never did. So she ended up taking our order. By the time our table got our food some of those other parties have already finished their meal. They then served everyone at my table except me. They then served me the wrong order and I told them I ordered beef stew. When the stew finally came the rest of my table was already done eating. I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. However, given the past experience with the old man, this was the tipping point. read more

Came here for dinner after a long day on a Sunday night. It wasn't busy at all. & instead of experiencing a nice meal, we experienced microaggression. Safe to say I DO NOT recommend this place at all and I'm never coming back here ever again. Here's what happened: A family got seated, then our party of 4, and a party of 2 after (this is the order of who came in the restaurant chronologically). This part is important...but we got seated right next to the family and the party of 2 got seated behind us. The older gentleman who was taking orders came around to take the orders of the family next to us. When they finished, we spoke up and said that we were ready to order & raised our hand...but he did not even look our way, deliberately skipped us, and rushed over to go take the orders of the party of 2 who came after us. Then he walked away?!...Didn't even bother to ask if we were ready!! So once again, we raised our hand and we ended up getting the attention of the lady at the cash register and she told the same older gentleman that we were ready to order. He barely turned to look at our party and said he'll take our order after and kept going. I was honestly so bothered by that, but thank you to the lady at the register for coming up to our table very shortly after to take our food orders instead. I honestly feel uncomfortable eating here now. I feel like we definitely experienced microaggression. We weren't even loud or acting crazy. We were quiet and polite. Even IF he didn't hear us, he didn't even acknowledge us or check-in on us. Couldn't really enjoy our food after that happened. I was just wanting to get out of this restaurant asap. I personally would rather go to any other pho restaurant in the area. read more

I was looking for a late night spot for eats after a late comedy showing in SJ. Found this spot on Yelp! It was a great find! The place was clean and airy, the service was quick and friendly, and the food was super flavorful! The porridge had a nice light, deep flavor and the beef stew was a little sweet, but super flavorful! Really nice amount of options on the menu! No way to get to them all at once! I'll be coming back! Definitely a go to spot if you're around the Milpitas area! read more

The food is just mediocre. I ordered no. 86 the Bun' grilled pork and shrimp over the noodles and fresh veggies. The bowl was consumed with noodles, hardly any veggies and no herbs, ie mint. The grilled pork was okay just a bit small in portion and the grilled shrimp was lacking in flavor and portion as well. Very unbalanced prepared dish. read more

Late night eatssss! Good stuff. Perfect spot for a big group eating noodle soup. The staff here are so nice, especially the owner! She has photos with lots of locals all over the wall. I enjoy the Pho Tai here, but my boyfriend actually tried the Bun Bo Hue this time. He loved it! He said the broth wasn't too salty and very flavorful. The noodles were a little undercooked and the meat portion was just okay... but the broth was SO GOOD! The Pho Ap Chao is also tasty, but not a must order. The portion is really big and a guilty pleasure when I want something fried and saucy. Not bad! read more

I found this place on my trust-y Yelp app. The reviews led me here. We came in and got seated right away and waited a while to get our order in. It seems the owner is around, but is just there to be an authoritarian IMO, but I digress. So, our server was really sweet and attentive after waiting a while, so that made up for the slow start. We ordered: -bun bo hue - 5/5 When I tell you, this is the best BBH I've had in a while! The broth was just savory, spicy and full of delicious warmth. You know that is someone's granny's recipe. -Spring rolls - 3/5 It was OK, could've had more protein. It came out way later than our meals. -#60 - Grilled pork chop with shredded pork and omelette over rice-5/5 -Vietnamese iced coffee- 5/5 The restaurant itself its very spacious with plenty of seating. There are pictures everywhere, which gives it a local, mom and pop vibe. Overall, I would go back for the food if I am in the area. The food is definitely worth the visit. read more

I LOVE supporting small, family-owned businesses, and Pho Saigon makes it so easy to support them. They've been in business for over 15 years now, and this place has been a favorite among a lot of my friends who grew up in Milpitas, so I was so excited to finally try it! The owners are a husband and wife duo, and the wife is sooo funny and sweet! She got our orders in super quickly and brought out waters immediately. Our food also came out very fast as well. I got the Bun Thit Nuong Cha Gio, and the grilled pork was super tasty with a smoky flavor. I would 100% come back for this dish. I also tried my friend's Pho Ga, and the broth was very clear and flavorful as well. I have an issue with some pho restaurants having too much cinnamon in their broth, but this one was perfect! Overall, I think I found my new favorite Vietnamese restaurant to go to. The parking lot is also huge so finding parking is super easy! read more

Gonna say probably the best pho soup I ever had!!!!! If you don't know the rule here it is before putting any type of extra flavor in your broth you have to taste it first and I am gonna say this broth was not even needing anything to be honest!!! Service is always great and served with a smile!!! Actually it's there policy to serve with a smile But it don't seem like it's forced because they are all super nice and attentive! The soup is amazing There kalbi Korean beef also amazing Everything we eat here is always good Tried mostly all the beef options Definitely a must try My buddy travels 40miles to get his fix!! read more

If you're looking for the best pho in town, Pho Mai is hands down our #1 spot. This place never disappoints! My wife and I have our go-to favorites--definitely try the #10 and #20. Those are our absolute favorite dishes and they're always packed with flavor. The service is amazing and really makes you feel like family every time you walk in. You can tell they truly care about their customers. Highly recommend this place if you want authentic, delicious pho! read more

The food was exceptionally delicious; the steak I ordered was remarkably fatty and literally melted in my mouth, offering a rich, satisfying flavor. The broth was perfectly seasoned, bursting with a savory taste that complemented the meal. Everything was served hot and fresh, making each bite incredibly satisfying and addictive. The staff was genuinely friendly and welcoming, contributing to a warm and comfortable atmosphere. The restaurant was small but cozy, with a charming ambiance. They displayed a collection of pictures on the walls, which I assume featured regular customers, adding a personal and inviting touch to the space. read more

This is one of my favorite pho restaurants! They close pretty late and the service is always great! As soon as we come in, we are greeted and seated. The sweet old man even pulled the chair out for me to sit in. We were helped right away whenever we needed something. The place is fairly big for plenty of customers to dine in. My friend and I ordered spring rolls, hot tea and a small pho. We received the spring rolls almost immediately, and they were so yummy. The pho was also amazing! It was the perfect blend of meat, soup and veggies. The restaurant is also very clean. If you're from around the bay and crave some pho, i recommend this place. It's in my top 5 favorite pho restaurants, possibly top 2. read more

We ordered for takeout on a Sunday evening. The restaurant had a clean and casual environment and was quite busy inside, with most seats full and staff working hard to serve customers. Our food took 20 minutes to be ready. We got several items from the menu including hu tien saigon dac biet (house special big rice noodle soup with shrimp, crab, meat, squid, pork, & fried shrimp cake), grilled chicken over rice (the chicken heavily seasoned with a flavorful marinade), bi cuon summer rolls, and pork & shrimp fried egg rolls. Everything we got was made fresh and delish. I was especially a fan of the fried egg rolls, a tasty mix of shrimp and pork wrapped in a nice crispy outer layer. My bf devoured his noodle soup dish too... I can see why he's a regular here. read more

Credit cards accepted. I haven't visited this old place in years. Foods and beverages are still good tasting and good in presentations. Menu includes lots of selections and everything is inexpensive/more affordable than its competitors. Old places deserve recognition sometimes. I was expecting lots of crowds and long lines on a Saturday after 12 noon, but it turns out to have lots of space and tables now. Lots of available parking spots outside too. Walls are filled with memorable group photos and community events. Old ladies are still busy hustling and bustling inside. Boss lady is usually staffing the front counter. Don't expect much service here as it can get very busy at times. It's still a good casual option for a good bowl or Pho, rice plate, and other dishes. I actually like the Bun Rieu tomato crab cake noodle soup here. It's perfect for my tastebuds. While prices are decent nowadays, expect the $14.50-$16 bowl small size to be small/good for portion control. You pay more for larger bowls. Number one Pho dac biet special is ok. Very satisfying even with small bowls here. Ingredients and flavors are good. Bottles of sauces on tables were wiped down clean at our table. There's just lesser customers inside on a Saturday lunch hour now. That was surprisingly good for quiet visitors. Small family businesses are great. Convenient location. It's still delicious and casual here. read more

Came here with my brother and dad as it was recommended by my brother and this place is just okay for me. Soup was ok. Could use more flavor. Service was lackluster. It was hard to get someone's attention. They didn't give us garnishes for the soup. Took sometime for us to get it. Thai tea was also okay. Egg roll was good. But that was it. Ambiance was nothing special. read more

Service: the staff is warm and welcoming. They make sure your order is correct and they deliver fast too.

First time trying Beef Stew at Pho Saigon. It was good. It came out steaming hot. It was temperature hot for a good 15-20 minutes while I tried eating it. Usually, it doesn't stay that hot for that long! The egg noodles were good. Chewy and cooked well. The beef stew was plentiful with flap meat, brisket, and tendons. The broth was beefy and rich. read more

Everyone knows I love a good bowl of pho or bun Bo hue. This place has amazing broth and meats, but I wasn't a fan of the noodles, they had a stiff texture that I didn't understand, I would come back again, but give pho a chance next time. The lady at the cash register does have attitude, but the food is great! read more

This review is for takeout. I want to give credit where it's due: they did follow my special instructions, which I appreciated. The Vietnamese Egg Rolls were tasty, with a flavorful, well-cooked filling, and I'd give them 4 stars. That said, the rice wrapper was a little too hard and chewy, and $13 for 4 small egg rolls felt overpriced. The Beef Stew Noodle (Mi Bo Kho) was closer to 3 stars. The broth was too heavy on the five-spice flavor, and the beef portion could have been more generous. ***The biggest issue was the takeout packaging, which needs serious improvement. The pickled veggies (do chua) should not be packed in the same bag as the lettuce and cucumbers because it hurts the presentation and makes the whole meal less appealing. They should be packed separately in a small bag or container. Fresh vegetables also should not be placed in the same bag as hot food, since the heat will cause them to wilt. For orders placed through delivery apps like DoorDash, Grubhub, or Uber Eats, the entire takeout bag should also be sealed for better food safety. read more

Amazing food and courteous prompt service. I had the chicken pho and my wife had the vegetable pho. Definitely a gem.

Good service , very nice and welcoming . they have an amazing taste of the foods . Very organized and. I like how they have picture of people that has come and tried their food , it's really cute I like the decoration ! read more

This is one of our favorite go to places for many years now. They are super friendly and the place is very clean. Service is pretty quick. Food is delicious, Each of my family members definitely have their favorite dish. I love getting the chicken pho with a side of steamed veggies to add to it. My daughter and I also love their #47 seafood chow mein but we ask for only shrimp. Hubby loves the mongolian beef and rice dish. A must go place. read more

I like this place but you just have to be careful when making a payment even though you press no TIP it will automatically add it up. Because I'm going to give cash instead. But from the pass I didn't know that they'll add it up because the Lady the owner does not give you the receipt sometimes. BE HONEST TO YOUR CUSTOMER!. read more

This is one of my top 3 Pho places in the whole Bay Area. They are super consistent with the quality and freshness, and they never skimp on the sides and toppings (Basil, sauce, bean sprouts, etc.). They are always willing to customize my order (extra veggies, no noodles when I'm feeling low carb), and they have vegetarian broth option for my wife. The spring rolls are great and they have one of the best peanut sauces to go with! The mom and Pop are pretty friendly, but I've only done takeout here so I can't really comment on the dining-in experience. read more

This place is okay. It's nice that they're open til midnight at the time when my sister and I were looking for a place to grab food @ 9pm. I ordered hot and sour seafood soup and I was very disappointed! I've tried a lot of pho and this soup was no flavor! It looked and tasted like they just poured lots of hot spices and it was gross. Just tasted salty and no flavor at all. I wouldn't come back. read more

This was my first time trying this place, and unfortunately, the experience was quite disappointing. When we arrived, I asked if we could sit toward the back. The owner was nice about it and said yes. We had just been seated and were starting to look at the menu when the owner quickly came over to take our order. Thinking back, we probably should've asked for a minute, but she seemed in a rush, so we went ahead and ordered. After ordering drinks, the owner asked if we wanted orange juice. We politely declined, but she kept insisting. Then I asked my partner if he wanted potstickers we hadn't even decided yet, but she already started writing it down. I had to stop her and clarify that we didn't want it. The food was just okay. I ordered the Bún Bò Huế (spicy noodle soup), but the Vietnamese ham tasted off almost expired. While eating, I also noticed how the owner was speaking quite rudely to the server in Vietnamese, which made the atmosphere uncomfortable. We decided not to leave a tip, but my partner ended up leaving some cash on the table, thinking it would go to the server. As we were walking out after paying, I overheard the owner speaking in Cantonese to someone, asking if we had left money on the table. Overall, the experience was not pleasant the owner came off cold and unwelcoming, the food was mediocre, and the overall vibe was uncomfortable. Sadly, I won't be coming back. read more

Food was good! We had some mixups with our service, so we ended up getting 3 smoothies instead of one, and got charged for the extra. The pho was good, meat wasn't as tender as I wanted it to be. Avocado smoothie was good! I would come back here if I was in the area. read more

Came here with a group of 10. There was no wait. One of the staff, which I assume is the owner could be more friendlier in how she speaks to customers. The granny tho was much nicer. The smoothies here are overly sweet so if you do decide to order it, ask for less sugar. I got the mung bean and my partner got the durian. The durian is definitely artificial and I would guess the mung bean as well since I didn't see any mung bean specks. The taro bot chien. Not good. Not crispy. It tastes microwaved. Not the right texture either. My grilled chicken with tomato rice was good. I liked it and would order that again. My friend said their pho and bun rieu was just alright. My partner's bun thit nuong with cha gio was good. Lots of pork and veggies. read more
