This Pho spot has become my go-to in the area. It's always buzzing, no matter if it's lunchtime or dinner. Thankfully, the spacious interior means the wait for a table is rarely an issue. Their chopped beef Pho is absolutely incredible - it's easily my favorite dish on the menu. I've tried both the homemade and classic noodles, and surprisingly, I prefer the classic. They seem to absorb the amazing broth just a touch better. Speaking of the broth, it's what truly sets this place apart. It strikes a perfect balance between fragrant herbs and rich beef flavor - a true testament to their dedication! Highly recommend checking it out if you're in the area and craving some phenomenal Pho.

They make FRESH thick noodles here! Great broth taste. Parking is rough so I suggest meandering into their new parking lot vs trying to struggle to park near it

Came here on the way back from a road trip to SLO. I was quite paranoid about leaving anything in my car and took an embarrassing amount of items with me but we got seated quickly and in a booth where I could hide it. Super quick service and food, full restaurant even around 8pm. I got the small beef rib pho so it doesn't look as dramatic as the big one. My partner got the rare steak pho in large. So cheap for basically double portions. Lots of noodles, soup, and meat! I don't know if I would come back because it's far for me from foster city, but I would if I was closer. Very interesting spicy sauce mixed in with their oyster sauce. It wasn't sriracha and it was rather mango/orange looking. My partner said he would have preferred it separated so he didn't have to have it, but I liked it. With the sriracha shortage, it doesn't quite taste the same anyway.

I have been going to Pho Ha Noi ever since they opened way back then - I didn't realize I never gave them a review! Pho Ha Boi has been my go-to spot for a nice bowl of pho, whether it's winter or summer I'd somehow end up here. The service is pretty quick and the staff here are pretty chill and quick to satisfy any needs. They're also very understanding when it comes to questions and possible adjustments to your meal. If it's your first time visiting, I'd recommend coming either on a weekday or right when they open to avoid busy lines and the possible chaos that comes with weekend dining. And if you are planning to go with a large group or on the weekend, definitely hop onto their Yelp waitlist- trust me it's worth it and you won't find yourself waiting in a longer line. The seating arrangement here could be a little confusing, but it's pretty straightforward- you have the option to sit either outside or inside, but just be mindful that there's much more seating outside and if it's busy, sitting outside isn't bad at all. :-) OKAY THE FOOD: My go to Pho will ALWAYS be the #10 Special combination pho- you get a little bit of everything and this bowl can seriously fill you up. My boyfriend tends to get #20 the rare flap meat + short rib. We both usually get our pho with fresh noodles (thick noodles) and though it's not the traditional skinny rice noodle, the fresh noodles just hit better? We also usually get a side of nem nuong cuon as an appetizer which honestly completes the meal. I have tried the salted cream Vietnamese coffee before and WHEN I SAY THAT IT IS STRONNGGGGGG, pls believe me. I'd usually get a drink here, but there were some boba spots around Vietnam Town that we ended up visiting a boba shop after.

I have been here a couple of times now, and their rice dishes are amazing. This review is strictly for the dish I tried this time. They offer both outdoor and indoor seating, and the service is fast and friendly. Here's what I ordered: * 59 Com Suon Bo Sa Ot (Grilled lemongrass short rib with white rice) It comes with 6 pieces of short rib (boneless), a bowl of white rice, fresh salad (tomato and lettuce), and extra sauce for dipping. I am truly amazed by how the beef was handled and cooked. It's so fragrant, and I'm in love with the chargrilled flavor. The beef is tender, and I really love the addition of scallion oil drizzled on top of the beef. This enhances the flavor and adds more depth. And the dipping sauce, OMG, it's sweet with a strong flavor of fish sauce. It pairs perfectly with the beef, and I am 10/10 happy with every element plated up on the dish.

Pho Hanoi has been around for quite some time. I recently tried the pho here and I now understand the hype. There was a bit of a wait. They have Yelp Waitlist. However, I didn't see the option to check in through the app that day. Not sure if the waitlist was closed or if you can only sign up when you get there. We waited for about 25 minutes and got seated! Once we ordered, it took a while for food to come out. Luckily, we were patient and the wait was worth it. Tried their pho tai duoi bo (flap meat and ox tail) with fresh noodles and it was so good! The meat was tender, and the broth was clean and rich. Pho Hanoi has multiple locations, but you'll find this one tucked away in the back of Vietnam Town in San Jose! I'd come back, but I'd recommend coming at an off-hour when things are slower. Pho is good here!

Delicious dinner Sun night at Pho Ha Noi!! When we arrived there were servers to help outdoor seating so we sat outside but as the evening progressed they stopped seating outside bc it was getting too cold. I got number 21 beef flank and oxtail and bf got the beef rib bone in pho. His meat was sooo tender and good. Would def recommend ordering that. There was always a wait but the seating went pretty quickly. We also tried the sugarcane drink and it was very good. I would def recommend this place!!!

I had their Bun Bo Hue, the Spicy Noodle Soup Hue Style, featuring tender pork, beef, and that distinct Hue-style seasoning. And to take things up a notch, we indulged in the Bun Bo Hue Suon Bo, enriched with succulent 1lb Short Rib, which elevated the dish to new heights of deliciousness. The Egg Coffee was a revelation - a true Vietnamese gem! Creamy, rich, and irresistibly tasty, it's an absolute must-try. Don't forget to put yourself on their waitlist via the Yelp app. Despite the 40-minute drive and an additional 10-minute wait upon arrival, every moment of anticipation was completely justified. With their welcoming staff, inviting ambiance, and dishes bursting with flavor, Pho Ha Noi truly stands out.
