Love the food pho is delicious wonderful service easy parking you well love everything on the menu

Walked in and didn't see any staff, so I went straight to the ladies' restroom - it's tiny. Came back out... still no one. Rang the bell twice before a lady appeared and directed me to sit on the other side of the restaurant. Adventure begins. It was COLD where I sat, so I asked for a cup of hot tea -- problem solved. The menu, though? Massive. Pho, salads, Vietnamese sandwiches, porridge, vegetarian dishes, noodle soups, vermicelli bowls, rice plates, chow mein, catering options... and about 30 drinks including fruit shakes with boba. If you can't find something here, that's on you. Parking is easy since they have their own lot - always a win around here. Now, about the staff -- I mention this because credit is due. Everyone appears to be older (50+), clearly hardworking folks grinding it out to make a living, and they're genuinely nice. Don't expect much small talk in English though -- they're polite, efficient, and focused on getting things done rather than chatting, which is totally fine. Just a "here's your food, enjoy" kind of vibe. One funny (but slightly distracting) thing: there was a full-on conversation happening in the kitchen between a lady and a man, and it was loud enough that I could clearly hear it from my seat. I felt like I was unintentionally eavesdropping. Maybe turn the kitchen decibel down just a notch? Final downside: a $0.50 to-go charge and a $1.38 'merchant fee.' I find these additional charges off-putting and they give me pause about returning. On principle, I believe these are operating costs the establishment should absorb rather than fees that are passed on to the customer. Overall: extensive menu options, hardworking staff, easy parking -- but the mediocre food, extra fees and a few quirks will keep me away and keep it from being a slam dunk. read more

They add a to go fee and a credit card fee. And the pho broth tastes like lemon? Made me think this was leftover broth.... Ewwww

I stopped in the other day, I was amaze how the food's tasted very good, portions are huge for the prices. The ambiance is amazing. Will definitely be back! read more

Food: We ordered two bowls of pho. Unfortunately, the broth did not taste like real bone broth. Instead, it was loaded with MSG, which immediately caused both me and my colleague stomach issues. If you're looking for good pho in the East Bay, I'd recommend waiting for Pho Hanoi (opening in 2026 on Telegraph near UC Berkeley). In the meantime, Huong Tra a few blocks away at least serves pho that's edible--not amazing, but definitely not unpleasant like this place. Charge: On top of that, we were charged an extra $2.07 on a $51.00 bill simply for paying with a credit card. When I asked, they told me the fee could be removed if I paid cash. read more

Decided to drop by and try this place out! I loved how spacious it was inside, and the layout of the restaurant is very interesting. It's simplistic and very homey. It's on the side of the road with a small parking lot so it can be easy to miss if you're driving there for the first time. The staff are friendly and the service was fast, i got all of my food within 15 minutes or so of waiting. The portions of the food are OK for the pricing, it's actually cheaper than most places however there isn't as much meat in the bun bo hue. Pictured below are actually Large sized bowls. The spring rolls also have a mixed sauce of maybe sriracha mayo and peanut sauce. The bun bo hue wasn't really spicy but had a lot of chili oil which could definitely stir up some coughs here and there. There wasn't much meat at all for the bun bo hue, but i would recommend trying their other dishes nonetheless. Overall the experience was good, it's a great cheap place to drop by for food and the workers are hard working and very welcoming. Please drop by and try this place if you have the chance :)! read more

Coworkers and I were looking for a pho spot that was open for breakfast and we found this place. Nothing better than pho in the morning ! We sat down right away and we all ordered noodle soup with your choice of meat , special combination noodle soup and the fried egg rolls. The food came out super fast after we ordered. I'd say maybe 10 minutes. It took us longer to eat than anything. I wish I took a picture of everything. The broth was beyond good. Honestly didn't really need any extra toppings so I went super super light on the hoisin and sriracha. The egg rolls were really hot but delicious! Will definitely come back if I'm in the area. They take cash and card and you do pay at the register up front when you're done with your meal . They also have a private parking lot so you don't have to park on the street read more

Had to get a Vietnamese food fix and found this place down the road a bit. It has it's own parking lot, and then need to walk along the fence to get to the front door. We ordered Bun with pork and BBQ shrimp, egg rolls, BBQ sandwiches and fresh rolls. Everything was fresh and crisp. The BBQ pork had a nice sweetness from the marinade and was grilled perfectly. It was everything it needed to be to be a satisfying meal. It would have been nice to have more vegetables in the BUN, but all the right flavors were there, so no complaints. read more

This review reflects the restaurant's vegetarian pho. It's delicious with quality ingredients and they don't skimp on the veggies. And I appreciate that they can make it with soft (not deep fried) tofu. The portion is good. They always smile. Service is good. The restaurant is clean. read more

We were looking for fresh spring rolls.and Google sent me here. Well it was amazing. Not only do they have fresh shrimp spring rolls they also offer pork spring rolls??? What?? We were very pleased the owner was super excited to tell us about the pork rolls. Grilled pork chops sliced in the roll. Delicious I ordered a plate which came with a fried egg. It was great. My wife had a pho soup which she doesn't normally order unless she can get thin noodles and the owner said no problem. Beef pho and it was tasty and the broth was flavorful.definitely a return to place. read more

This restaurant has been here for many many years, I ate here often while I was living on Mcbryde Ave, Richmond which is one block away. I am not sure if the owner is still the same this time returning to eat after so many years. We ordered the bun Bo hue, my all time favorite item and this place makes the best bun Bo hue. Ordered the bun rieu, the taste is not what I like anymore. It has too much ketchup taste rather than the crab taste. It is too sweet with lots of ketchup but Portion is big though. One thing I was surprised is that they have fried pork intestines, which was my husband's favorite item. Overall, a great neighborhood Vietnamese family owned restaurant worth trying. Mapbe just skip the bun rieu. Haha read more

Pho Thai Hung - Pho Thai Hung Restaurant - Vietnamese Near Me - Richmond, California

they have bugs I seen a cockroach near the entrance inside and I left and never returned

Came here multiple times And always ordered the same dishes. Pho with fresh beef on the side so I can add to my soup. Last time I went I ordered the same and she said I have to pay extra ? I asked why ? No reasoning I said I just want beef on the side and she said I have to pay extra. I said forget it. Won't be coming back. I eat pho with my son almost every weekend. Over a thousand times eating pho at different restaurants and I was never asked to pay extra to have beef on the side. Unreliable service. And confusing pricing. No thanks. read more

We used to frequent this place when we lived in the area over 15 years ago. It was our go-to spot for authentic Vietnamese food. So this was the first place we thought of when we were in the area looking for something to eat. The look of the place hasn't changed much since we were last here. We were immediately seated and served water before taking our order. We had the beef stew noodle soup, pho and beef chow fun. We also ordered a peach shake, avocado shake and a 3 color bean drink. Our food came very quickly so we dove right in. The beef in the beef stew soup was not as tender or flavorful as we are used to. The pho and beef chow fun were not bad but not great either. One thing that was disappointing is that they didn't have the plum/hoisin sauce. They had a watery soy sauce type sauce. As for the drinks, you can't expect much when it comes to shakes. Just like most Vietnamese restaurants, you can expect a powder to be used. The peach one was extremely sweet, even for my daughter's taste and she likes sweets. The avocado shake was probably the best of the 3 drinks but nothing memorable. Now onto the 3 color bean drink. Many times you will not even find this on the menu unless you go to an authentic Vietnamese place, so it is the first thing I look for on a menu. It is made with coconut milk, pandan jelly, mung bean and sweet red beans with ice. When I got my drink there was no ice which should have been my first sign. It looked like it had more beans than red beans but I like beans so I wasn't too concerned. But as I started to stir the drink I began to get very worried. At the top were strings of green and brown pieces that looked like seaweed and tasted like it. Then, as I start to stir the beans, I see garbanzo beans which I thought was weird. But I decided to try a bite anyway. To my surprise the coconut milk tasted salty. I thought it was my imagination but my daughter said the same thing. I decided I would bring it home and transfer the pieces I wanted into another cup of coconut milk. To my surprise, when I dumped it out I found a slew of random beans and even nuts. I found whole cashews in the drink. Like crunchy, usually salted cashews which explained the saltiness. Now that I think of it, what if someone had a food allergy to nuts and ate this because usually this drink does not have any nuts. I tried to rinse out the beans and remove the saltiness but the drink could not be saved. The sad part is that this is probably the first place I tried this drink at. And I know it wasn't like this or I would have never ordered it after. Needless to say, I was very disappointed. read more

I didn't have time to cook dinner after work for me and my family so I thought I'd try this place and take home to my family I ordered Curry beef thumbs down on that it was not curry Combination pho which they forgot to put brisket in Korean kalbi the meat and vegetables tasted sour 2x Chicken, egg roll with egg not that great and then chicken wings with sweet chili sauce very disappointing Got also a mango smoothie which didn't taste anything close to mango it tasted more like orange pineapple A coconut pearl smoothie it was alright Total cost $164.00 I think that will be my last time getting food from this establishment Taste wise not good Details on food description did not match Two thumbs down read more

Just go the pho is really yummy and they give you the option between vegetable broth and beef broth a lot of restaurants don't offer that for their pho. They're really fast and always kind. read more

Today their pho fell to an all time low for my family. I could deal with the missing items and return back, or a loss in translation for certain items, or the fact they don't take apple pay, but ffs they really stretched out the broth today and watered it down! I never had pho broth like this. It was obviously STRETCHED OUT AND WATERED DOWN FOR MY ORDER. It had no flavor at all besides that of the vegetable in it. I could just as so much hoison and fish sauce to it but that did not do any justice either. Literally tastes like oily noodles in water. Will be the last time I order from this place. read more

Been coming here since I was a freshman in high school, and their food never fails to disappoint me. I've tried a lot of food on their menu so I know their food is good and yummy! Today I had a BBH, and it was so good. I haven't tried a lot of BBHs but I really liked how spicy and fragrant it was. I've only dined in like twice since COVID has been getting a bit better over here, but dine in options are available. Every customer mutually understands to socially distance if they're dining in which is great. read more

Pho Thai Hung - Bun Bo Hue - Vietnamese Near Me - Richmond, California

Hmmm, I'm not sure what's happening here, but the pho is just not good. I was driving down San Pablo Avenue after taking a long walk near the reservoir and thought a hearty bowl of pho might provide a nice ending before heading home. It looked like a huge place from the outside, and there was a lengthy walkway fenced away from the sidewalk. Not sure why but it meant more steps on my FitBit, always a good thing. There are at least two dining rooms of which they were using only the front room for walk-in diners like me. I first went for an appetizer, the $5.95 Shrimp Spring Rolls, which frankly didn't taste that fresh with the rice paper particularly chewy and the peanut sauce over sweetened (photo: http://bit.ly/3aX1zaR). I then decided to go with the $10.95 Grilled Chicken with Chicken Noodle Soup (photo: http://bit.ly/2UkrfYv). The chicken on the plate was paltry, but at least it was prepared five-spice-style and grilled nicely. The pho, however, was quite disappointing with the broth way too salty. Unfortunately I'll need to scratch this pho house off my list. FOOD - 2 stars...mediocre pho, chewy spring rolls, just the chicken delivered AMBIANCE - 2.5 stars...oddly crowded dining area in a big space SERVICE - 2.5 stars...non-committal TOTAL - 2 stars...no pho fo me RELATED - Exploring Richmond?

I hardly give 1 stars and this is such a disappointment, been coming here for years ever since I was young but the (lady) owner which you saw on other comments is rude AF. She gives you an eye roll (-_- ) when you ask about the menu and literally wants you to order like you've been here before. Costumer service used to be good but I don't know what made her treat her costumers so bad. I hope she can clean her act up because the rest of her employees are nice. Food is good but if you want a better costumer service look elsewhere and spend your money where you actually can leave a restaurant happy & full. read more

Pho Thai Hung - I wished her attitude was as good as this pho on the other hand the older lady that serve this was kind. - Vietnamese Near Me - Richmond, California

Came here after my workout for some pho since I haven't eaten it since december last year. I used to come here as a kid with my family for pho here because it was close to home and cheap. Fast forward now, it's still pretty cheap but not as great as I remember it before? I got the #1 small which was the pho with everything on it. The broth was good because it was light and not as fatty. Each pho place is different as some do a more heavy broth and some do lighter (depending on restaurant). I like both either way. Definitely wish it could have had more meat but still big enough bowl to fill my post workout hunger. Service was eh. Which is kind of disappointing considering the fact I came at 1pm and it wasn't even packed. It took a couple minutes before someone came and told me to take a seat. After ordering, it took ~10 minutes to come out which was a pretty long time... read more

I've had pho here and it's really good though I admit I'm not absolutely crazy about pho. I love other soups much more. But I do love their boba teas and especially there boba smoothies. My Mother is on a very strict diet due to her health and they were willing to use soy milk instead of milk and sugar. She loved it. Our favorite smoothie is the honeydew with boba. You can get them to go. read more

This is the spot for good for you soup when you're feeling bad. I have a former co-worker who came here everytime she or someone in her family was sick. The pho that we got was good and for $10.95 you get a feast! They have a lot of choices and to bring the food home is a joy. Some food doesn't travel so well, but this does! We ate it and had some for the next day, which was fantastic! The other thing they had was the hot chili oil. My husband loves it, I don't. It's too hot for me. But he's Mexican and he can barely taste the heat. I saw it and had to buy it. He was sooooo glad! I'm glad too. read more

Food is not even subpar, service is mediocre. Ambiance is not too bad. Def not coming back.

4 stars because they're the only pho spot around open until 9pm during these strange times. I've been coming to this joint my whole life and it is a hit or miss with the cuts of beef for the pho but this review is specifically for last night. As much as I'd want to enjoy pho to-go, it just doesn't work for me so I went ahead with a rice plate #53 and an order of spring spring rolls. Their rice plates are always consistent and delicious. read more

stopped by here because i was craving a good viet meal! i i had the vermicelli with shrimp, egg rolls, and pork as well as the avocado smoothie. the flavors are amazing and tasteful, reminds me a lot of homemade meals. the meal came out really quick despite the lunch rush and was a huge portion. i had almost half of the bowl for leftovers after i was full. the owner is super sweet and all the workers were also super attentive and helped us whenever we needed. they gave us a couple drinks as well which were all very delicious. this family owned restaurant is definitely a needed stop if you're looking for some great food! overall, a really good local vietnamese restaurant for an amazing quality and fair price! read more

Pho Thai Hung - Vietnamese Near Me - Richmond, California

Service was terrible as was the food. I ordered Chicken Pho to go and the lady at the register begins watching a video on her phone before my transaction is complete. She didn't say Thank You. She didn't offer a receipt. She lacked basic customer service skills. About 5 minutes later a different lady comes from the kitchen area with my food. I thanked her and she simply placed the food on the table and walked away without saying a word. No Thank You. No Good Night. No nothing. As I am driving home the first thing I notice as I touch the bag is how cold the container of broth is. I literally live down the road and once I got home I had to put the broth in the microwave to warm it up. The noodles were stuck together in a block and extremely difficult to take apart. I wasted $12 bucks... read more

Pho Thai Hung, a family-owned restaurant, offers an authentic, enjoyable culinary experience for anyone willing to give it a try! The first time I went, I got my usual beef pho with rare steak and brisket (my usual order at any pho place), and let me just say... absolutely blew me away. I was shocked by how great a bowl of beef pho could taste. It's unique, savory, and special. Perhaps it's the freshness of the herbs and the great ambiance that made this bowl taste extra-awesome. I came back the next week with my family and I ordered a rice plate instead. To my surprise, the porkchop was pretty tender (it usually never is whenever I order it elsewhere). The rice was perfectly cooked and packed with flavors that simply melt on your tongue. One thing I love about family-owned restaurants is that I feel like I'm eating in someone's home. Staff were very friendly and endearing and I will be coming again! read more

I usually don't give bad reviews but this place really needs to hire more workers or waitress. When we first came in, no one serviced us until we asked where to sit. After we ordered our food, they changed the size of my daughters pho because the waiter thought she wouldn't finish her food. As we're eating, another customer comes in and just sits down. He's waiting to be serviced but no one noticed him until he approaches the back where they are cooking. The same waitress rushes him to order and overall seems like she just doesn't want to be there. She's the only waitress there other than the person bring out the food. And they forgot our appetizer. As we went to cash out, there were some customers trying to order take out and asking about the food and how it taste and she just had a rude way of responding or trying to explain what was in the food so we just paid our tab and left. Never again with this place. read more
