Vietnamese is my go-to food, and in decades and dozens and dozens of Pho restaurants, this place is simply the best. tonight I had shrimps with vegetables and brown rice in oyster sauce and each ingredients was cooked perfectly. this is under/the-radar gem. read more

This is not authentic beef broth. It does not get even a little thick when chilled. It appears to be water with beef flavored powder, star anise, and cinnamon. Cost is $20. You can make this at home for 25 cents. Big rip off. read more

Had lunch here, located in the back of the boat harbor on Francisco Blvd. Restaurant gets busy at lunch time but service is great. I had the fried pork chop dish and it was very tasty. I try to stop here whenever I'm working in the areas. Sometimes I'll just order a jack fruit smoothie to go. read more

Quick service on a Friday afternoon. The summer rolls were mostly lettuce, not much noodles. No mint or green onion. The shaking beef was delicious and flavorful. Large portion of rice and the lettuce was cleaned and fresh. Very relaxed atmosphere. read more

Pho Viet - Hair in my food 13. Thin Slice of Steak - Vietnamese Near Me - San Rafael, California

The food was not bad, just not what we were expecting. Ordered chicken pho and I've never seen it served with broccoli...so that was something different. Wasn't really mine or my friend's favorite. Pro: They were quick to sit us down and give us our orders Con: Felt a little rushed because they gave us the bill while we were still eating. Personally, we weren't enjoying the mix of broccoli in the pho read more

Pho Viet - #33 amazing - Vietnamese Near Me - San Rafael, California

This is hands-down the best pho in Marin. Nothing I can write in this review will do it justice, you just have to go try it.

I have been eating here for many years, as I worked nearby and would enjoy a casual lunch with coworkers. Even though I now work further away, I crave their vermicelli plate with an egg roll for dinner. Tonight I had comforting bowl of pho with wonton and rice noodles. They have quick service and are good for groups, families, couples, or takeout. read more

My boyfriend and I absolutely love this place! This is our go to Pho restaurant in San Rafael! Workers are super nice and friendly! LOVE their Pho, Chicken yellow curry, spring rolls, egg rolls, and their Thai tea!!! 11/10! Love this place! read more

We have been patronizing Pho Viet for many years. Their food has been reliable and consistent. Shaking beef still is tender, and the meat content generous. We always get the baked mussels with scallions and peanuts and this dish never disappoints. Pho was outstanding. And the garlic noodle with shrimps was really garlicky and delicious. Service was warm and friendly. read more

Came here in college and this place is still really good after all these years. we tried the chicken wings which were tasty, not sure if it's a must try but worth a try. Pho portion def worth for the price point. The Vietnamese iced coffee and Thai iced tea are still as good as I remembered! read more

Stopped by for lunch on a weekday and there were a good amount of people inside. There is a large parking lot that is shared but I don't see an issue getting a spot. We got some egg rolls for appetizers and those came out hot and crispy. The pho was good but it was lacking a bit of the meat. I only got a few pieces of beef and some tripe. For $1 more, you can upgrade to a large. It's not super big since I was able to finish it. The broth was also very flavorful. One of the better pho restaurants in Marin and I would definitely come back again and try other items on their menu! read more

We came here 2 weeks ago on a day trip to SF. We decided to go here for late lunch instead of one of those restaurants in SF as we couldn't find a parking spot. We got the special combo pho, pho ga and pho no meat (just noodles and beef broth for our 10 year old as she doesn't like the beef or chicken in Pho). Everything was delicious. Our 10 year old finished a whole big bowl. She even asked to come back here again next time we visit SF. read more

Came to Pho Viet on a rainy Sunday afternoon with my partner. It was empty until two different groups arrived during our time there. They have plenty of available seating! We both ordered some pho and also some spring rolls. I did not like the spring rolls at all. I'm typically a huge fan but something didn't sit well with me. We also ordered a thai milk tea and mango smoothie and they were both delicious! The pho was good but not the best. Would I go back? Only for the drinks read more

Truly exceptional pho. Best in Marin. Absolutely love this place. They treat you kindly and the setting is what you'd hope for.

An older looking family run small business. Service was fast, friendly and warm. Our order had a missing item, but we were in a hurry so we just cancelled the one item (a hot coffee). Internet was down though today, so we couldn't pay by card and was forced to pay by cash. Not sure if it's a common occurrence. They have a fairly large dining room and could seat quite a lot of people. We tried the fresh rolls (nice and crispy lettuce but shrimps were a little small), Bun Bo Hue (not quite the traditional soup we're used to but the noodles were good and it hit the spot) and #7 Special Combo Pho Noodles (good portion!). We were happy to find comforting Asian food for the rainy day out. read more

Just what we needed after a long day, it hit the spot. Pho Dac Biet and Bun Bo Hue were piping hot, generous with the protein, and very satisfying. All-around solid experience, will be back if we're in the area and craving Vietnamese food! read more

Pretty good vietnamese spot next to all the car dealerships. Gets quite busy during lunch as its probably the only noodle spot around san rafael that's not Thai. Beef noodle soup #6 was pretty tasty and good portion at $15. Good soup but could have been hotter so I could further heat up my beef on the side. Meatball was tasty, many pieces of cut up beef meatball. The fried spring roll insides were good, but somehow felt a little different regarding the wrapper, which didn't make it feel like a normal imperial roll, it wasn't especially oily which was nice, but I think could be improved with better crunch read more

I loved the spice Pho I ordered. My friend ordered number 14 and from previous reviews I'd agree. There was more meat in the large size versus small. Please please do not waste your money on the fresh spring rolls. I've never been so disappointed. From the photo you can tell all there was in the roll was noddle, lettuce and shrimp. Where is the carrot, cabbage, cilantro or mint? And the peanut sauce was sub par. I'd go again for the pho tho and the owners provided great service. read more

There's not a lot of options for pho in Marin but this place is always a good option. Been here a couple of times now and their pho is perfect for a gloomy day. I ordered the spring roll with bbq pork and they were delish, I would def order these again. They taste so different from the shrimp ones and are a good alternative if those aren't your fave. I like their seafood pho, but the chicken and broccoli in it always kind of throw me off. The servers are always on top of everything and checking in with you. Lots of people come here with their families so at times it can get really busy. read more

loved the food ESPECIALLY the Pho :) the Thai Tea drink was good as well. I recommend this place

Google said they close at 9 p.m. so we arrived at 7:50 p.m. thinking we had enough time. But when we arrived, we discovered that they actually close at 8 p.m. They gave us a seat anyway, but people who came in after us were turned away. You can see from the photos the chairs are already up on the tables as we were seated. They were cleaning all around us as we ordered, and as others were leaving and a booth opened up, they asked us to move to it. I'm not put off by this behavior, but I have never experienced it before. In my experience, waitstaff wait until dinner service is over with and the patrons have left before they put the chairs up and mop the floor. At any rate, the food was good. They had at least one vegan item on the menu, so I ordered that: Tofu with Mixed Seasonal Vegetables in Lemon Grass. Unremarkable, but enough for two meals for me, so I took half home. read more

A tiny place next to the marina. There is a parking lot in the back, next to the restaurant. We got in and were seated right away. Service was good. We ordered some bbq pork spring rolls, and they were delicious. However, the sauce wasn't the usual peanut hoisin sauce. We both ordered pho. The broth was good, but the portion wasn't a lot, and there isn't a lot of meat. I had to ask for the fish sauce and chili with oil. Other than that, everything was ok. We did use the bathrooms a few times, and bathroom was decent. read more

I love the food. I got a pork chop rice plate that had all the great fixings with the fried egg and shredded pork. The meat was tender and full of flavor. I also had the tofu spring roll. It was surprisingly delicious. The tofu had just the right texture and tasted amazing (didn't get a photo because I was shocked with the staff not wearing a mask while making it) I would've given it a 4-5 star but it is hard when they have workers serving my food, walking around, AND MAKING MY FOOD with either NO MASKS or with MASKS UNDER THE MOUTH. They didn't look like they care especially the lady making my spring roll and egg rolls. Her mask was down the whole time I was there. Then a man walks out of the kitchen with no mask serving the to go orders!!!! read more

I had been to this spot a few times for takeout, and thought it was okay. Recently we tried dining in, and loved it. Not only is the food so fast and fresh, but this is a great, easy spot to bring kids. I love their pho, especially the special with the bbq. My kids love the garlic noodles with shrimp and my hubby is a big fan of the vermicelli bowl. I do wish they had more lettuce wrapped options as at lots of traditional Vietnamese places, but this is one of the best in Marin IMHO. read more

This restaurant was recommended by a Vietnamese friend. We ordered the fish stew in clay pot and a spicy tofu dish. Portion sizes were generous and the ingredients were very fresh, in addition to being flavorful and tasty. The service was attentive and prompt. I plan on going back again to try other items on the menu. read more

So,,, I had to go back. And you know, any pho / Vietnamese restaurant opening at 10 am is definitely authentic, catering to the Southeast Asian / Vietnamese cultures where breakfast doesn't mean bacon and eggs or waffles/pancakes or oatmeal nor cereal. I've not ventured to the other pho restaurants in Marin, but Pho Viet is definitely the best since I left SF for sho'... had the cobo seafood and chicken with rice noodles this morning. Spot on. Little fish sauce and chili sauce on side and I'm good to go pho mo'. (...sorry, corny Asian humor). Much more on the menu I want to try -- trying to convince my WASP American husband to come with next time. I know there's is so much on the menu he would enjoy... read more

I'm constantly craving Pho and none of the restaurants near me have caught on to this delicious need of mine just yet. This is the best spot I've found to head on a rainy day or when you can't choose what to eat for lunch. The bowls are HUGE and I always have extra to take home. They have delicious specials that are always changing and every other plate I've tried is always hot, tasty and comes out super fast! The only thing that is a little funky has been the service. My experience is that they point at a general area for you to find a table, and it was an awkward vibe the past couple times asking for to go boxes or water. I would still recommend to anyone craving some delicious hot soup. read more
