    Grilled pork, shrimp and egg roll vermicelli
    Christine D.

    The food tasted great. The restaurant is nicely decorated and clean. Service was fast and the server was attentive. Lots of parking.

    #125: pork chop, bean curd wrapped shrimp, grilled shrimp on sugar cane, egg cake. $26

    3/5: #125: Pork chop Com Tam deluxe. The bean curd wrapper shrimp paste, and grilled shrimp on sugar cane is great. But the pork chop and egg cake is below average. Not nearly as good as the places in Vietnam Town in San Jose. $26. 2/5: They dump way too much cream into the Thai Iced tea; it ruins it. Ask for cream on the side.

    I have not had pho in a long time, and I think this was my first time trying pho in Mountain View. The 106 was so good and is now my go to Vietnamese dish. If I am not getting banh mi, I would definitely order this again. The meat was smoky with a slightly sweet flavor and was seasoned really well. I loved how they added a lot of vegetables. The pork roll was also really good. We also got the 44 pho soup and the broth was amazing. It was rich, flavorful, and all the ingredients tasted fresh. I would definitely come back again. The parking lot is spacious since it is located in a plaza.

    70. Sweet and sour chicken noodle soup
    Julia S.

    Service here is quick and the menu has a nice variety of options at fair prices. I also like the extra chili sauces available at the table. Today I tried the #70 sweet and sour chicken noodle soup. I was craving a different flavor to pho. It was a little sweeter than I expected, but overall the blend of tangy sweet and sour and a little heat was great. Chicken was a lot of skin, difficulty to eat because it in chunks still attached to a line of carcass, and it's a little dry too. I don't want to downgrade this place just because I chose something different and didn't like it as much. I think if you stick to regular beef pho it will be yummy!

    Super good food and staff was really kind. Chicken was juicy and had a great marinade. I loved it

    11/13/2025, New Ownership. I was a bit skeptical knowing that there's a new ownership of this restaurant. This has been my go to place. I tell you what, It was already good before, but now it's even better! I always order the beef ribs, tender, flavorful fall of The bone beef ribs, two big ones for 12 dollars, they are by far the best to Do it! Very consistently that what I love about it! New owners are very nice and new servers are also very nice! Hands down the best in the area!

    66 Wonton And Yellow Noodle Soup

    My friend and I recently went to see a movie at Mountain View Cinemark. We were craving pho after the movie, so of course I turned to yelp to find a place close by with good reviews. Enter Pho Tran Vu! Small place in a busy shopping mall, but the food was delicious and served fast. My friend opted for the beef pho and I got the wonton and yellow noodle soup. I also ordered the pork and shrimp potstickers to share. It had all the fixings that traditional pho restaurants have. It really hit the spot and I'm adding this to my rotation of pho spots, particularly after a movie!

    35Rare Steak, Flank Beef Noodle Soup
    Jacqueline Z.

    Came here on a Monday evening as a group of 4. Didn't have to wait for a table since it wasn't busy. Decided to order #35 - beef pho with rare steak and flank beef. Two other people in my group also ordered pho. Before bringing it out, they brought out one plate of toppings... for the 3 of us, who ordered pho, to share. The 4th person in my group got a separate plate of toppings and hers was the same size as ours. Not sure why each of us didn't get our own... For the pho itself, the broth was so bland. When the broth is bland, I feel like the whole meal is bland. The noodles were quite stuck together at the bottom and took a while to break apart. The beef portion was great but a bit dry as well. Service was nice - they kept checking in on us and were very friendly. The food was not noteworthy.

    29House Special Beef Noodle Soup (ox tail)
    Eunice T.

    Solid meal. I love how they have everything you might need pre set at the table. They have a lot of condiment (difference spicy sauces) and even included a scissor in the utensil bucket. I ordered the house special pho with the oxtail. It was a pretty big piece and very tender. There's only one piece of each protein though, so meat-wise, it felt like there were less than other places. However, it is Mountain View, and the bowl price was under $20, so it's understandable. (FYI, they have two sizes available to choose from) The part I wish could be better: the pho noodles were stuck together in a chunk at the bottom. It'd be nice if they could separate the noodles before serving. Broth was okay. Standard pho.

    My family and I visited this restaurant during their 10-year anniversary, and it was delicious--we loved it! The Banh Hoi is one of our favorites, and we really enjoy making our own spring rolls. Another favorite of ours is the Pho Suon Bo; I love the beef rib, which was tender and fell right off the bone. You know it's good when the pho is packed with your favorites like beef and tendon. One downside was that I ordered Thai tea but received Vietnamese coffee instead. While the coffee was good, it was extremely strong--just one sip and you feel wide awake! If you're looking for great pho, definitely try this place. They don't skimp on the meat!

    Pho Tran Vu is our solid lunch spot routine after a morning weekend hike, lunch and then Costco shopping. It's conveniently located in a strip mall. The people here are always friendly, and the service with food and drink is quick. I always go between some pho or a rice vermicelli dish with my side of beef broth. When I'm feeling ravenous, I get the beef rib pho. The meat just slides right off the bone. Not all Vietnamese joints have the big beef bone pho. Once in a while, I'll go for the chicken salad, but anything you order here is delicious. All the fresh veggies and juicy, flavorful meat make Pho Tran Vu a solid Viet spot. They are generous with the meat and veggies if you need a little more bean sprouts, basil or jalapeños. I'll be back again soon before my next Costco run!

    Bun Bo Hue (hand for scale)

    I came here on a whim because I was getting my car tinted nearby. I ordered the BBH #69 small and the bowl was definitely really small specially for the price... I wasn't too hungry, so I was able to finish it. I was also disappointed that for the price it didn't even have pork knuckles in it. Just some pork slices. The meat was also lower quality because it was really chewy. My husband got their chicken banh mi and they asked if he wanted pate and he said yes, but they failed to tell us that the pate was an extra $1!! Pate is a STAPLE in banh mi's, but yet it costs EXTRA to have it? I'm mainly upset that they didn't even tell us that it was an extra cost. I also ordered a Salted Lemon drink which was actually really good! Its taste reminded me a lot of my childhood. I think I would be back if I was nearby again and was craving soup, but otherwise I probably would skip this place since it is pretty expensive for SJ. There are much better pho places here and for cheaper.

    This place will close in a year. Going to drive to Castro street

    This is a review specifically for their new banh mi…read more I've wanted to see what a banh mi from Tay Ho would be like ever since I saw them with a tray of them for a special event a couple of years ago. After an expansion of the restaurant they finally have banh mi on the menu and it was worth the wait. First, the foundation of a good Vietnamese sandwich is the bread, and it did not disappoint. The outside was crusty and flaky - definitely going to have crumbs everywhere when you eat this. The bread was warm and the inside was soft, but they also hollowed out the bread to make more room for fillings. I had the bbq pork which is my go to for their bun (vermicelli rice noodle) and it's just as great here. Grilled, a bit sweet, a bit savory, and a hint of smokiness makes it the perfect match to balance the freshly pickled vegetables and pairs well with the cilantro and jalapeño. They used a minimal but sufficient amount of mayo and I don't like pate so I asked for that to be skipped. Don't come after me

    Wow, Tay Ho really upgraded their space! They renovated and there's so much more room in the dining…read morearea now. They also expanded the menu and pretty much hit every Vietnamese staple you could think of. Tay Ho has always been known for their banh cuon, but the uncle told me they wanted to bring more Vietnamese options to the area for people who can't always make the drive down to SJ. I appreciate that as someone always wants Vietnamese food. The banh cuon hits as expected. We also tried the banh beo, and unfortunately that one was a miss for us. It looked promising, but the batter was a little too thick and the ratio of batter to toppings wasn't ideal. The table next to us got the banh xeo though, and that looked so gooddd. I'm getting that next time. Tay Ho, whether Santa Clara or SJ, is always in my rotation. Happy to see the Santa Clara location expanding and offering even more options!

It's snappy and slightly vinegar-y, totally addictive. I also came for their homemade pate, which is sold by the pound and fractional pound - also delicious.

While having pho at Pho Nam, I considered grabbing a few sandwiches there to bring back to the hotel. I had a hot date with Netflix later and absolutely no intention of going out again. But not far away is Cam Hung, a tiny Vietnamese sandwich shop specializing in bánh mì. It's cheap, and it's in the kind of quiet Sunnyvale strip mall where parking is not an act of war. It shares the plaza with a Chinese herbalist and acupuncturist. On a Sunday afternoon, the place was practically deserted. Perfect. I walked in and immediately realized this was much more than a sandwich counter. The tiny shop is crammed with prepared foods, spring rolls, steamed buns, Vietnamese desserts, dried snacks, candy and all kinds of things I couldn't identify but probably wanted. The main attraction, however, is the bánh mì. These are big sandwiches, and even the most expensive ones top out at around $9. I got a Chinese barbecue pork and a ham and pork roll to take back to the hotel, along with a bag of roasted candied garlic and chile peanuts. I came dangerously close to buying the peanut brittle too, but the sugar would have nailed me. Even I have limits.
