Ambiance - 4/5 When you walk in, the restaurant has a cozy, mom-and-pop shop feel. It's simple and unpretentious, which adds to its charm. The interior is straightforward--nothing fancy, but comfortable. Service - 4/5 I didn't have to wait long for a table. The staff were polite and efficient. Just a note: there's a $20 minimum for card payment, which isn't clearly displayed at the front. Food - Dish Ordered: Dac Biet (#8) Beef Combination Pho 4/5 Taste: The soup had a slight sweetness and a very beefy flavor. Meat: The beef was cooked perfectly , Not too dry. I normally dont like people pre cook the meat but it was done well. Noodles: I didn't like the noodles--they were too thin for my taste. Price: $17 for the #8 pho, which felt reasonable for the portion. Additional Comments Overall, it's a solid spot for pho if you enjoy a good beefy broth and well-cooked meat. The thin noodles weren't my favorite, and be aware of the card minimum. I appreciate the authentic, mom-and-pop shop vibe and might come back to try other dishes. I love eating pho when my body is cold to warm up my body. This place Definity hit the spot. Would I come back? Yes, I would likely return for the pho read more

This is a mom and pop place. I think the low reviews are for the decor. It's very outdated, like from my grandma's house, 80s vibe. The egg rolls were crunchy and good. The spring rolls were so fresh the noodles were still warm. The pho was decent. We asked for water and got 2 water bottles? Total prices weren't marked on the receipt. The prices on the menu are also blurred out. It was good for a quick meal, but a bit pricey for the ambiance. read more

My go to spot for Bun Bo Hue. They have a nice balanced broth that's spicy, herbaceous , and delicious. I've been frequenting this families pho restaurants for over 25 years and always enjoy their BBH. BBH comes with sliced beef, and lean pork, Vietnamese pork cake, and blood cubes. Noodles, chopped shallots, onions and lots of chili oil. Service is always friendly, casual, and efficient. The water they provide is only bottled. read more

Pho Ty II - Special Bun Bo Hue - Vietnamese Near Me - Hayward, California

Ordered via door dash and it was hot and fresh when delivered. Was the perfect meal for a cold day and still waking up from partying yesterday. The broth was nice and flavorful, love that they added chilli flakes haven't seen in other restaurants but added great flavor. Good amount of meat, not too much of a fan of the pork I think It was because it was but dry but all other items included were great. Added some fresh bean sprouts, lemon, housing sauce, basil and jalapenos to set it off it was delicious. Would recommend if your in the mood for some tasty pho read more

This place deserves better ratings. The food is your standard fare and is served hot, fresh, and quick. Does it stand out? Not particularly. Especially not from someone who grew up in the Mecca of Vietnamese food that is San Jose. However...the people here are amazing. Perhaps unknowingly and just going about who they are they have created "the good Asian aunt who loves to cook and feed you" vibe. They remember people by name, by what they like, and weird quirks. Olive Garden has NOTHING on family. This place has them beat hands down. The pho will warm your tummy, the people here will warm your soul. Go for a bowl and people watch outside for a sec. You'll see. read more

Went twice and satisfies your Pho cravings. Bathroom can use updating but great quick soup place off the main road.

I've had their spring rolls, pho, rice plate, and spicy beef soup. They're all good!!! The lady there is super sweet and nice. Definitely recommend this place. read more

This used to be our go-to for my friends and me back in the day, but it isn't as great as I remembered. The service is friendly enough but I'm not a fan of paying for bottled water and the fact that their menus prices are a little bit all over the place-and basically double what they were before... even with inflation, paying about $45 for a bowl of pho, a rice plate and 2 waters is kind of icky... read more

I don't eat pho in this town but really really recommend if u craving early at 9am .. place got really pricey though but still good

Im not a PHO person but this one is such a good pho highly recommended so try it now read more

Pho Ty II - 23. Pho Tai 7. Pho Dac Biet Xe Lua - Vietnamese Near Me - Hayward, California

Food was delicious and we had excellent take out service! We ordered the pork chop steak plate. The portion was large enough for two persons. The plate was huge. The food was tasteful and the vegetable were fresh and crispy. Would definitely return again. read more

Rainy day calls for pho. We ordered delivery through Uber Eats. Everything came neatly packaged and nothing was leaking. We ordered the number 7 and 15. Hoping we just got a bad batch of broth because upon opening up the soup container to get first sip, the first flavor that came to mind was... sour. The meat, herbs, and noodles were fine except the most important thing: the broth. It was a bummer; we didn't want to waste the food and it wasn't sour enough to be inedible but it was not a great experience. read more

Pho Ty II - No. 15 (left) and No. 7 (right) - Vietnamese Near Me - Hayward, California

It's too bad this place can't stop themselves from overcharging you. Warning: Check your bill before you pay.

This place has regressed for quite some time now. It was great when they first opened, but it's been a few years since they've even been good! They use to have the games on the TV's! Now, they don't even turn them on! The place looks worn, dirty, and raggedy! Their bathroom has been "out of order" for years! They still have their "COVID" distance table at the entrance, which they use to sell cheap, tacky knick knacks! The quality of food is NOT anywhere near where it used to be! Their vegetables and herbs look like they're leftover from the previous table! And who doesn't serve water??!! You are FORCED to buy bottled water?! That's just tacky and penny pinching! They've made PLENTY of money from the community! But they don't put it back into the business! I kept coming back because of how they USED to be! But I just can't do it anymore! So sad! The place was at its peak when the son ran it! Their Mission location closed. That place got really raggedy too! And their Oakland location closed a while ago! They know how to start a business, but just can't seem to keep it up! Once again, so sad! read more

Second time round was not as good. Asked for water (I'm assuming iced tap water) and they brought over two bottles. Returned them and got tea. Food was okay. When it came time to pay, my dad had his wallet slightly open to get out his credit card. Presumably owner said he preferred cash and reach into my dad' wallet! He didn't grab anything, but keep your hands away from my wallet! Ambiance is casual and slight dated in a nostalgic way. read more

I ordered spring rolls & chicken wings. It was delicious & the wings are flavored wonderfully. The spring rolls were fresh and had a touch of mint, which isn't common for me. The prices are reasonable & I will be going back. read more

Great food and fast service. The menu is consistently delicious. I always talk this place up read more

I have been frequenting this place for many years. I know what I want and always get what I expect. My usuals are Pho and Shrimp Spring Rolls. I don't always want meat and noodles and they have options for this! Veggie Beef bone broth. I have also ordered just the broth, alone. Very friendly people. read more

Desperate to find a place to take mom for lunch because Elite Dumpling didn't have dine in and another dim sum place was closed, I arrived here. It's"cozy" with hanging curtains and feels like you are in a living room because you have a child sitting in a high chair glued to a screen watching a video, and older woman sitting around and the young lady doing it all surrounded by lots of homey decor. The bowls are expensive! $15 for mostly broth lacking in flavor. The Thai iced tea was good and that's it. I feel for the local shops and always want to support but not be ripped off. I had the beef stew with ho fun. Noodles were sparse and beef too lean. Nice plate of bean sprouts and basil. Had to ask for the little condiment dish twice and finally got up to ask for it. We ordered tea and got a pot of hot water. She came by and poured in a couple of tablespoons of tea from another pot? Don't understand what happened. And then she brought a bottle of water which we didn't order so she took it back. Not attentive staff. Not that I need it BUT just act like you care is nice. I'm sad to not be able to give a better review as it has been incredibly difficult for so many businesses. read more

I wish this place was better rated. The customer service is just amazing. They are all so kind and all smiles. It's a family owned restaurant, small hole in the wall but you know the hole in the walls are the best spots. I ordered the chicken pho and let me tell you, it was very authentic. Best for those rainy days. Come check out this place!!!! read more

Pho Ty II - Chicken pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Hayward, California

They have fast service but that's about it. When they asked if we wanted water or soda, we said water, and they brought us Kirkland water bottles. Pretty sure they would've charged for it so we returned them and just didn't drink anything. We ordered the #7 and fried fish cake and both were disappointing. There was barely any meat in the pho to consider that an XL. Wouldn't come back or recommend read more

Perfect pho good spring roll good service good prices good everything good me is good

STARS: 2.5 MENU AND FOOD: They offer the typical variety of pho noodle soups and rice plates. SERVICE AND ATMOSPHERE: Service is quick and efficient. Their dining room decor is dated and visibly dirty; their bathrooms are even worse. They do have plenty of indoor seating. PARKING: Located in a small plaza, they have a parking lot with plenty of space. IMPRESSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS: I was a former long time customer of their 3 locations. Their restaurant used to be cleaner, and the broth used to be deep and flavorful. However, as of a few years ago, their broth profile has decreased significantly and instead tastes as if supplemented by some type of pre-packaged seasoning. Their spring rolls are tiny with minimal ingredients inside. I know that pho restaurants are often not the cleanest, and I am always willing to overlook that aspect in light of their broth quality and taste, but they have let their sanitary standards go too far. read more

I 100% agree with the reviewer from last month. I asked for water, they bring bottled water and charge for it. They prefer Cash, and charged my CC $20 even though my meal was only $16. That is their minimum charge. Food was OK, service was not good. The old man was watching some soap opera in another language right next to my table. I didn't mind it at first, but he kept on turning the volume up. I think he is the owner or related to the owners. read more

I called to order take out at 8:45 pm, and she asked how many is my order. I just wanted one order of soup, then she proceeded to say they are closed. Why couldnt they just say they are closed without asking how many my order is? Because now it seems like they wouldve only accepted my order if there was a lot to make the money worth for them. In addition, in the beginning of quarantine, I paid with card. They obviously had a limit for card which was $20. My order was worth less than $20, but bc I only had card I was like fine charge me the $20 on my card even if it's not worth that much bc I was really hungry. The older woman charged me $26 some!!! NEVER COMING BACK HERE. They overcharge and bad customer service. read more

We are charging for now water now??? This use to be our go to spot until we moved. Decided to go and was asked if we would like something to drink. I said water and she came out with bottled water I asked for water in glass she said that they only sell bottled water. I know times are hard, but damn! read more

Parking is easy and there was plenty of it. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere, loud and casual. There was so many choices of banh canh it was ridiculous but in a good way. We had the banh canh cua (crab noodle soup) and the coconut one. We were amazed by how traditional and how it brings back memories of eating this soup in Vietnam. The serving size is huge here and enough to put you in a good food coma. I would recommend this place if you like home made Vietnamese udon soup. Coming back again. read more

The food is good but the pricing doesn't make sense to me. Literally everything teeters between $15-$16, feels like they just slapped random numbers on the menu. Like why is the xL the same price as a medium bowl in some cases? And why is a Kirkland water bottle $1 (they don't serve water on tap)? They don't accept card and their cash machine doesn't work; if you're in a pinch just go to the liquor store in the same plaza. The ambiance has that hole in the wall aesthetic, but in a less endearing way. It just feels like they stopped caring. If price ain't a thing to you, def eat here! I actually enjoyed my soup, but all the little nitpicks added up for me. read more

Hi everyone I'm STONEITUP on YELP and boy oh boy do I love pho, this place is definitely a good low-key place in the mornings, great fooD. I'm usually there right when they open up.

Nice decor and it was the pho that I expect. Beef balls were spoiled tho hahhaa nasty read more

Why? Especially during times like this where you appreciate your customers. You nickel and dime em' Ordered Pho Ga for pick up. Had my daughter go in and pay. She tried to pay with card but they only accept cash... okay no big deal. I give her $20. She takes a bit to come back and when she comes back she explained to me the owner (older short male) tried to short change her. Total came out to $12.50. She gives $20. He hands her $7.25. She says... umm you said $12.50 and he looks at her and points to register which says $12.50. She then says you shorted me a quarter. He looks and reopens his drawer and hands her a nickel. WTH You want cash and you can't even give correct change or are you trying to nickel and dime folks? Over a quarter you lost a customer and I hope you lose more. Please check your change whenever you go patronize this place.... read more

The service here was almost as bad as the food, which is saying a lot. The broth had no flavor whatsoever, the chicken was hard and tasted at least 3 days old, the shrimp tasted old too. The egg rolls had a disgusting after taste and made them almost inedible. Water apparently isn't free and they only have bottles, which wasn't told to us, i had to ask. The woman was laughing at her phone and not paying attention to anyone at all. She was literally texting as we asked for the bill and she brought it over. The egg rolls and large pho came out to $28. I've never felt like i've wasted so much time and money before. They should have paid me for eating their slop read more

Fast friendly service but... the brisket quality was just ok. Inconsistent cooked pieces. Nothing raw or under cooked but some were more well done than others with some having huge wads of fat attached or just floating on its own. I just had to put that lone fatty piece out to the side. Therefore, the price was little high for the level of quality. Medium Pho, Iced Coffee and bottle water = $20. read more

Best pho in Hayward!!! My go to order is #8 (combo pho). The broth hits the spot! Their beef stew with egg noodle is also a good alternative. Very hearty and flavorful. I haven't yet found a better place that tops their broth in the peninsula or east bay. read more

Pho Ty II - #8 medium - Vietnamese Near Me - Hayward, California

One of the better places in Hayward for Vietnamese food other than Oakland....the bun (vermicelli with grilled meat) is one of my faves, combo rice plate (pork chop, 2 fried chicken wing, one egg roll) is super yummy and egg noodle (you can substitute instead of rice noodle) with rare sliced beef pho is pretty good. Flavor is on point, generous portion, above avg service, and food comes out pretty quickly. I will have to agree with pricing...I've been coming to this place for at least 8 yrs and the price always seems to fluctuate, especially when ordering food to go...seems to be $1-$1.50 more for to-go orders when rung up by the older lady which seems odd but never question. Today, was a dine-in and was consistent with the pricing noted in the menu. Overall, good for with plenty of parking...located in the same strip mall as Pet Club and behind Carls Jr. read more

I was Chilling out in the Flat Lands House and its a Cold and Rainy Night . I was in the Mood for some Pho For The Soul !!! I've had Pho Ty II on my bookmark list forever . So I jumped into my Whip White Rabbit and rolled to Hayward and Pho Ty II . Pho Ty II is located in a Strip mall on Hesperian . Actually my Friends had a Filipino Restaurant in the same location years ago before it went out of Business. There's Tons of parking so I stashed my Whip there and rolled in . I was greeted by a Nice Vietnamese Women and handed a Menu. I was Seated at Lucky Table Number #10 . I Perused the Menu and Ordered the Vietnamese Spring Rolls in Rice Paper with a Peanut Dipping Sauce For An Appetizer , An Extra Large Bowl Of Bo Bun Hue For My Main Course and Fried Banana with a Coconut and Peanut Dipping Sauce For Dessert. Out First was my Spring Rolls and the Peanut Dipping Sauce . These were Good !!! The Peanut Dipping Sauce gave them an Awesome Flavor. Nice and Fresh !!! Next Out was my Main Course - BO BUN HUE - a lot of PHO places don't have this Dish . But Pho Ty II has it. Bo Bun Hue - Originated in Central Vietnam - ( HUE ) It Contains - Rice Vermicelli , Lemon Grass , Beef , Fermented Shrimp Sauce . It has a Very Complex Flavor - A Balance Of Spicy , Sour , Sweet and Salty Flavors . It Features- Pig Blood Cakes that has the Texture of TOFU and Beef Brisket. Pho Ty II version was very Good and was Very Tasty. Last But Not least was my Fried Bananas with Coconut and Peanut Dipping Sauce. This Came Out Fresh From the Fryer and it was very Tasty and Yummy !!! They have a $10 Dollar Minimum For Credit Card Usage . Food Was Good , Service Was Good -Though There's a Slight Language Barrier . Pho Ty II is a Baller On A Budget Approved Establishment !!! read more
