    106. Bun Tom, Thit Nuong, Cha Gio (Grilled Shrimp, Pork and Egg Roll with Vermicelli)
    Amy K.

    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.

    #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.

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

    The food here is consistently good. The pho is served piping hot while the spring rolls are freshly made. The employees are very Attentive. The ambiance is quite peaceful and relaxing

    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!

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

    I wrote bad reviews for their soup before. Knowing their soup is not good I was looking for rice, pork skin, a REAL Vietnamese meal. I wanted to order #124. Looks good right? $26?! I went to use the restroom. A few minutes later restaurant said I could not use the restrooms because of my review. I won't go back to this place. I would rather drive 15 minutes to San Jose or 5 minutes to Castro Street. This place will be out of business in the next couple years.

    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!

    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!

    Lynn W.

    Got the wrong dish and was still asked to pay for it. I even asked the server how to eat it before starting, and no one realized the mistake. Instead of apologizing, the owner blamed us for eating it. Very poor service and attitude. On top of that, the chicken pho we ordered wasn't fresh. Very poor service--won't be coming back.

    Bún Tôm (shrimp) Thịt Nướng (grilled pork) Chả Giò (egg roll) ~ rice vermicelli replaced with lettuce ~ sooo good
    Elizabeth S.

    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!

    After a business event in Mountain View, I was strolling around Castro Street looking for dinner…read morewhen I came upon Pho To Chau999. The restaurant wasn't packed. There was no line (compared to Chinese restaurants on Castro Street). Looking at the menu, I was blown away by the variety of pho noodle combinations. Oxtail? Seafood including calamari? Sounded so yummy. I sat down and was given the menu quickly. The pho noodle bowl I ordered was seafood with meatballs. I ordered the standard size rather than the large bowl. It was plenty for me! The soup base was clear. I ordered the egg noodles rather than standard pho rice noodles. Very tasty! I couldn't finish the bowl so I took away a portion of it. The décor was spare with photos of Vietnam scenes. For a meal of pho, the price is probably average for Mountain View. It is less than the cost of a bowl of ramen or fancy hotpot. I enjoyed the pho and will return to try other dishes. The veggies were fresh!

I personally liked how the chicken was skinless and was the breast.

There are live plants throughout the space, the seating areas feel well maintained, and the chairs are actually very comfortable, which made dining in enjoyable. However, the reason I can't rate this place higher is the restroom. It was extremely dirty and had a strong odor that made it seem like it hadn't been deep cleaned in quite some time. A dirty restroom reflects poorly on the overall establishment and was a big turn-off. It appears the restroom may be shared with neighboring businesses, but regardless, it's something that needs to be addressed. Coordinating regular cleanings or sharing the cost of maintenance with the other businesses could make a big difference. Fixing this would really improve the overall experience because the food and service are otherwise very good

Some of the snacks are familiarly American, but many are Vietnamese snacks/drinks more uncommon here, including fermented meats, honey comb cake, and more. The menu on the wall has a lot of photos, but it also doesn't cover everything you can order here. According to their menu, they primarily serve bahn mis and other sandwiches, but you can order spring rolls. I love their spring rolls, and it's all I really order here. I wouldn't recommend eating in, as it is really cramped, but it's a great spot for quickly picking up some good food to take on the go. They make the food quickly and it tastes really good, so I like to drop by after work to take some food to-go.
