This review is based on take out from online order. The last I ate in this restaurant was about 8 years ago. Online ordering is easy. A text message is sent to you to confirm your order with estimated time for pick up and when the order is ready for pick up. Easy and smooth pick up for take out. There is street parking and parking structure to park. The restaurant has big windows with good natural light. Service is friendly. You'll need to see one of the servers to confirm your pick up. We ordered the shaken tofu with garlic noodles that came with a small side salad. The dressing was lightly sweet. The shaken tofu was very tasty with good flavor. I just wish there were more tofu than onions In the dish. The spicy tofu pho definitely has a kick of spice but the veggies and lemon helped cool the heat. Definitely a place to enjoy a good filling meal whether to dine in or take out. read more

I love coming to this place for food. The portions are heavy and the flavor is good. I always get the rice vermicelli and the banh mi which are fresh and thick. Great value for your buck! Service is also fast and nice. Ambiance is pretty good too just with some difficult parking! I come here all the time for best value! read more

Very clean and modern interior. Service is wonderful. The lady serving us has a big smile on her face. The pho noodles menu is very flexible and you can customize your noodles any way you want. I ended up getting a grilled chicken salad which was a good portion with lots of chicken while other people on my table got pho. Everything tasted great. read more

My boys were headed out of country and when I asked what they wanted before they left, they answered quickly: sushi and pho. The sushi is for another review, but we went back to PhoEver for lunch on Monday. As always, the service was attentive, efficient, and polite. We've become creatures of habit and get the same thing... all three of us love the chicken pho. The boys like adding the different toppings and sauces to personalize their dishes... Max goes so hot that he sweats! For drinks, I go with the Thai Tea (5/5) and the boys say this is their favorite lemonade ever (10/5), they particularly like the sourness. There was an eight top next to us and they ordered several items we've been eyeing and may have to try next time... the boys were especially intrigued by the pho with the big bone sticking out of it! read more

This place feels like a hidden gem. It's located in the downtown sunnyvale area. PARKING - I've actually never had issues finding parking and one time I found one right next to it. Just circle around and you should find something and there are also parking garages nearby. ATMOSPHERE - it's bright and inviting inside, there are longer tables for larger groups and smaller tables with booths too. It was good for my husband and I and our two kids. FOOD - they have a "build your own bowl" where you mark it down with a pencil and it makes ordering quick and easy. PHO GA / CHICKEN PHO - I always get pho ga because I'm not a huge fan of the beef pho flavor. Their pho ga is one of the better ones in the south bay that I've had because it had a good rich flavor, multi dimensional and not overly salty. They also give you a lot of soup. I order the fresh noodles for extra but they are a little thicker. They are soft and fresh, I like them better than the thinner noodles. Another good thing is their chicken is super tender and not dry at all. The first time I went it was white meat but very moist/tender. This time it was dark meat with some fat so also very good. Sometimes pho ga chicken is dry and stringy but not this place. I get extra noodles and that helps me to feed my toddler who probably ate 4 small bowlfuls. BEEF PHO (FATTY BROTH) - my husband said this is good pho, he said it tasted like good pho should taste so I would recommend getting the fatty version. No complaints from him so that's a win. They were very attentive to our requests. The pho wasn't super quick to come out but came out within 10 minutes. Overall, would definitely recommend their pho here. read more

I said it before and I'll say it again with the picture. Their tofu spring rolls are the best!! I frequently come here always good service. Everything is great. Their soup with the fresh noodles. read more

I always eat spicy noodle bún bò Huế and I went in order on my lunch break the worst noodles I ever eat in my entire life. The meat is so cold they slide up freezing cold. The noodles outside is so mushy inside hot like a rock. I never left any comment review anywhere but this time I'm mad because on my lunch break I walk or seven minutes to order my food and turn out like this very disappointed. I don't recommend this place honestly read more

nice restaurant and area it's located in! we ordered chicken and pork banh mi, and it was decent. did the job but not "authentic" tasting. it came with kettle chips which were good but wished they had shrimp chips or something else with it. the banh mi was lacking something, like some kind of spread on the bread and the veggies weren't as pickled as i expected. it's definitely a less authentic viet type of restaurant. but it'll do the job if you're in the area. service was nice there's free structure parking. probably will not be returning read more

Late night eats. Dt Sunnyvale. Street and garage parking. Was looking for a late night pho spot for after the pumpkin patch. Brought my kids so I'm glad it's super kid friendly. Great space nice classic ambiance. Ordered: Beef balls pho I asked for small bowls for my daughters and was able to split my soup w them, granted I had to buy another soup but it would have been a hassle to have the girls eat it out of the over sized bowl. Will be back! Highly recommend. read more

I ordered the shaken tofu and happily devoured it. The spice balance and seasoning were great. The employees were kind and friendly. The restaurant had a cute interior and was beautifully painted. read more

This is an unassuming little place in Washington St. near the main drag of Murphy Ave. There were lots of Pho options, along with starters and more solid dishes. We went for the Pho because we were trying to shake the last effects of annoying colds. To quote my wife, the chicken option was Photastic! Very savory and flavorful with the regular add ins like bean sprouts, jalapenos, basil and onions. The setting was basic but upbeat, and holiday tunes played while we are. The server was friendly and attentive and made suggestions to help us choose from the menu. To those who say the meals are pricey, we paid about $50 for the both of us with the Pho, eggrolls and tip, but we got two meals out of it, and the soup apparently takes 16 hours to fully prepare. Definitely recommend. read more

Phoever is located in downtown Sunnyvale. There is free street parking in front or more in a covered parking lot across the street. If you order pho, they have a paper list to specify your meat, broth, toppings, etc. We ordered the - Beef bone broth with brisket and new york steak. The steak was so tender! We got the fresh noodles and they were thick and soft. -Spring Rolls They have the best spring rolls! The portions are large generous amount of peanut sauce topped with fried onions. They are also not stingy with the shrimp :) They have sauces already on the table. They also have larger tables to accommodate bigger groups. My husband and I like to split a full order of spring rolls and one pho with extra noodles. Definitely one of our favorite pho places in the area! read more

First time here on Monday for lunch w my sister and dad. I had the build your own pho and picked the brisket. The broth was super yummy and good cuts of meat. Fresh pho noodle option definitely. Had the pork and shrimp egg roll, so good. My sister had the pork vermicelli bowl and dad has the shaken beef w garlic noodles. All good.... Ambiance very clean, good service as well. Good use of the word "pho" ever (there's some super corny pho restaurant names out there just sayin') read more

Food was great, broth had great flavor, meat is super tender, and overall a delicious bowl of pho. However, service wasn't the best. They take a while to check in on you at your table despite you making eye contact to the point it's getting awkward. Portions are very small, I've been to many other pho restaurants where the bowl and side toppings are loaded to the top but here even the water cups were cartoonish small almost like they're pranking you. Pricing isn't too far off from other places maybe 2 dollars more at most, however for the portions you get it's not a bang for your buck. Overall would rank higher if portions were bigger and they weren't so stingey with the toppings and if their water cups were bigger as well, service I could do without but would be nice for someone to check if you need water for the ridiculously small cups they give you. read more

Inconsistent quality. Meat sometimes is very chewy, tastes old. Also plates aren't clean, be careful of food poisoning

Decided to stop in for some pho following my nail appointment next door at the organic nail spa. Their menu had many different options to choose from. I like that they have premade pho combinations or the option to create your own. I did the create your own and my friend got their #2 bowl. We also ordered a pork bahn me and half order of spring rolls. The chips with the bahn me were my favorite. Overall food was really good quality. We did order drinks: morning in vietnam (coffee) & passion fruit tea. The downside is they were delivered halfway through the meal towards the end. The shop is very quaint however noise carries and it can be a bit overwhelming. When we entered there was a party with multiple kids and no shade to them cause they're kids but it was loud. If you're noise sensitive like me, maybe take out will be better next time. Service wasn't the best, when we entered we were unsure if we stand and wait by the door or go up to the counter to ask for a table. We ended up going to the counter and asked what do we do to dine in, the worker asked us how many and said they need to clean a table (there were two small tables open). It sort of felt like we were pushed to the side afterwards cause the worker wanted to help the person behind us and then more people started to line up. I then decided to go sit at one of the open tables cause it didn't look like the worker was going to lead us there anytime soon. Towards the end of the meal the same worker was wiping down tables nearby and we asked for the check. They got distracted with another task and talking with coworkers that they never came back with the check so we ended up getting up to pay at the front after about 10-15min of waiting. read more

i wasn't expecting much from this place i stumbled into while exploring sunnyvale, but they serve a solid meal. with so many great pho places in the bay, it's hard to stand out but PhoEver did get the job done. the rice vermicelli bowl was also tasty. not something i would go out of my way for, but on a sick day i would certainly order from them asap. read more

PhoEver - Rice Vermicelli - Vietnamese Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

One of my favorite pho places in Sunnyvale, since it's walking distance. Went there a hr before they close, around dinner time. It was somewhat busy but the food came out pretty fast, from the time we order to our table. Thr safe are all super friendly & are quick to refill you're waters. They have changed some stuff, like now you can pick what type of stuff you want in your pho. From broth,meat, and veggies. It has gone up in price since last time we came here but I do say it's worth it. Once you finish the whole food, you won't be able to walk due to being so full. You will fall asleep like a baby after an amazing dinner. read more

I stumbled upon PhoEver while looking to grab some coffee nearby, after a group of us had hung out at Tipsy Putt, all within walking distance of each other. This Vietnamese restaurant is surrounded by apartment buildings on all sides, which is connected to a greater set of living and shopping in downtown Sunnyvale. The wait on this Saturday night was not bad and the size of this place is on the smaller side. I had to order their Bun Bo Hue as I do whenever it is available wherever I go. I was impressed with the authenticity and flavor of their spicy beef broth. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised at this Sunnyvale restaurant's BBH. Of note, they have small paper forms at each table and small pencils where you can build out a custom bowl of Pho for yourself. I would like to try this out next time. Service was good and when I'm in the area again, PhoEver would be on my list to try more of their menu out. read more

After hanging out with friends nearby, I discovered PhoEver nestled amongst the tall apartment buildings in the downtown Sunnyvale area. The space inside is on the smaller side but well laid out to maximize what they have to work with. The ceilings are tall so I didn't feel claustrophobic. I went with their build a bowl of pho option(paper with.small pencils at each table). The broth was solid but overall the bowl was 3.5 stars. Service was as you would expect, nothing over the top and not terrible. read more

The tofu rolls are so delicious. I am vegetarian and also enjoyed the vegetarian Pho. I wish there was more tofu in the bowl, but it was still absolutely fresh and delicious. I also love the cold water with lemon served in cute stainless steel cups. Service is amazing and very friendly staff. I'll be back for sure. read more

PhoEver - Tofu rolls with peanut sauce. - Vietnamese Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

I would not order the lemonade from this restaurant ever again. Does not taste freshly squeezed, but something more likely made from a concentrate which is disappointing for a Vietnamese restaurant. I asked them if there was sugar on the bottom and they took my cup back, but when they returned, it still tasted the same so I'm not really exactly sure what they did to it. I ordered the custom for with fatty bone broth, which was above average, but the tai meet was not great. It was all clumped together at the bottom of the bowl so it was fully cooked and chewy. It didn't taste like the highest quality meat but the meatballs were fine. I do like how they give each person their own bowl of garnish. I was able to request a hot cup of water which came in a ceramic style mug, which I appreciate. In general, if you need something and you flag one of the guys down, they get back to you pretty quick. read more

Great service but truly great food. Best pho around. With lots of creative meat options that make it really different. I have the short rib every time, I can't help it!! read more

Quick service during lunch hour on Friday. Found street parking nearby. Pho - rating 4/5 Had pho after couple years and enjoyed it. Ordered with chicken. Ratio of meat to noodles was perfect too Spring rolls - rating 3.8/5 Need to have it at more Vietnamese places to give this dish a better rating. Would have liked some seasoning on the inside. Came with veggies, lettuce, shrimp, noodles wrapped inside rice rolls. Peanut sauce served with the roll was yummy! Grilled chicken - ordered but was too full to taste it. My co- worker carried it back home to enjoy for their dinner. read more

We ordered some takeout on a lazy day, but it looks like a great location to dine in! Got a pho Combo w the spring rolls, some crispy chicken, and a banh mi all were very good and hit the spot!

One of my go to places for pho! I always get beef pho with the bone in short rib, along with their spring rolls. The short rib is the star of the show- literally falls off the bone! The spring roll comes with an amazing peanut sauce that you can't replicate with a store bought sauce. Overall, I would go back keep going back to PhoEver because of the short rib. I would've given this place a 5/5 star if the service was consistent. Once they get busy, it seems that orders get delayed or missed, and the quality of service goes down. I would try going once they open for quicker and better service. read more

I've been here a number of times over the years, only ever trying Pho FWIW. Quality of their meats is great, definitely the best in the area -- cannot complain on that, even their "basic" rare steak is high quality and tender and my wife REALLY likes the rib. Their pho broth is very basic and could use some additional herb flavor IMO, but it's not bad by any means. Service is friendly and attentive (only dined in once, usually takeout), so no complaints there. read more

Raise your hand if you've been to a restaurant where pho is served with MINT LEAVES instead of BASIL. To be accurate, one tiny baby sprig of mint leaves was served with the pho. The pho broth was edible, but definitely did not have any bold pho/beef bone flavor. The spring rolls were good and had basil (that's where the basil went! lol). The dipping sauce was good as well. Our server was pleasant and food was delivered quickly. Overall, we enjoyed the food even though it lacked the authentic Vietnamese flavors. The restaurant was clean, always a bonus! read more

Egg rolls were decent. Fried chicken also decent. Nothing to write home about. Pho was flavorful. Nothing particular stands out here.

Tried both the rare steak with meatballs and chicken pho. The steak and meatballs were tough, but the broth and noodles were good. The chicken pho overall was pretty good so if you're looking for chicken options, this could be a good choice. I wouldn't order the steak pho again. I do appreciate how you can customize your pho by choosing what protein you want, what kind of noodles you want, and what extra condiments you like. I feel this is a good way to try and cut back on food waste, and wish more restaurants offered this. I also caution everyone that they do charge a 3-4% service fee. This is NOT a tip, so look over your receipt and tip accordingly. read more

Wasn't too sure about this place since its located in downtown Sunnyvale but our Vietnamese friend recommends this place. We've been on the market for a local Vietnamese/Pho place. We wanted a place that had a lot of the items we generally like from pho to bun to other. Came for an early dinner - clean modern feel with plenty of tables. Menu has a lot of options and choices. Menu items had more Americanized names. Pattie Roll - This was good. Wish it had the fried roll in it. Satay Seafood Food - My husband ordered this. Noodles and soup feel like the traditional seafood pho which we were craving. Seafood udon - My order as I love udon. The broth is thicker than I am used to and a bit on the sweet side. Doesn't feel like they used MSG which is a plus. Service was personable and this is a cute small family owned restaurant. Lots of parking. read more

Moved to South Bay recently and was on the hunt for my next Pho place, and this place has my new local spot! The broth is really satisfying and the customizations do make it extra nice, especially for folks that may not always want the thin noodles! Place always customers, which is also reassuring and the servers are always nice, so dining in is never an issue. read more

After recovering from a gnarly flu, this truly satisfied every craving. The broth was super rich in flavor and beefy. I was impressed with the modern, clean environment. I will say the wait was quite longer than most pho places I have been to. However, the wait was worth it and I definitely had leftovers. read more

Vietnamese food is my favorite, so I was excited to see a place with some clearly marked vegetarian items. I started with the tofu rolls. Loved the fact that the tofu was grilled and a little smoky. The peanut sauce had a great consistency which was even better with the bits of fried garlic on top. The waiter recommended the green spicy hue as a comforting dish, and since it was a cold night, it seemed like a good choice. I love pho, but there were no veg options for that. The hue broth was rather thin and lacked a depth of flavor. It had a good amount of noodles, but not much tofu or veggies, which was a shame at the price point. When the bill arrived, they came by with a credit card machine. Automated tip options were 18% and then the next highest was 25%. I don't prefer to tip less than 20%, but didn't appreciate these presets that clearly were pushing for a high standard (not in line with level of service required/received). I was hoping to come back to try the shaking tofu, but think I'll likely pass in favor of some better options in terms of flavor, quality, and service. read more

Pho broth was very salty. Even pouring the water from the water pitcher to dilute the broth didn't help. The meat was, in turn, also salty. Orders were mixed up for two people in our party--one didn't have vermicelli in their vermicelli dish and the other was given the thin noodle and not the fresh noodle. Note: for those unfamiliar with Viet food, the fresh noodle simply means the flat noodles, but does not refer to noodles that are freshly made. Ambiance isn't bad. If you come with a large party like we did (7) , then they may seat you at a table and table benches that's nailed down. The legs of the tables are like pipes and since you can't scoot the benches back either, watch your knees. A few of us came out with bruises on our knees. It also made getting in and out a hassle because of how close the benches are to the table. read more
