I'm a big fan of pho and I can eat photo everyday of the week and has been to many pho restaurant but Chopstick pho is always my choice when my wife ask me what I want to eat. Not only that the food is delicious, place is very clean, my favorite part is their service, the owner is very friendly and knows her customer well, as a regular customer, she knows all our needs and habit down to the tee, like my wife always want extra napkin, she will bring them before we even ask. Their drinks are also very good and it's a perfect one stop when you're craving for a hot bowl of pho and some boba. If you love pho, definitely give this spot a try! read more

A modern take on a Vietnamese pho restaurant: clean, English-friendly menu, and updated service. The food is solid. The pho is good, and the grilled pork is a standout compared to similar spots. The portions are standard and satisfying. Prices are reasonable, but I did notice a mysterious "custom fee" added to the bill that wasn't explained clearly. Given how high dining-out costs are these days, and with most places already suggesting default tips of 18% or more, adding an unstated extra fee is a big letdown. read more

Friendly fast service. Order to go and while waiting for our food I notice everyone is eating pho on a hot 80 degree day... signal to try their pho! I didn't get pho because it was such a hot day! Standard vermicelli salad and spring rolls. Curious to try their pho now. Thanks! read more

The staff were very nice and helped me decide between Bun Bo Hue or a Bun. I ended up getting the grilled pork, fried egg roll, and shredded pork skin To Go.

First time here and I loved it! The menu has lots of options with images, which makes it so much easier to choose and decide what to order. Prices are very good, especially for the banh mi. The spicy soup was delicious, full of flavor, and they have great drink options. I ordered the egg coffee and it was fantastic. Service was excellent, and the space is really bright and energizing, which made the whole experience even better. All in all, a great first visit and I will definitely be back. Cheers! read more

I haven't been here in a while but since I was in the area I decided to stop by and get their grilled pork Bánh mì and let me say ..... it's better than I remember it! The meat was grilled and seasoned to perfection and the bread was fresh, crunchy and just plain GOOD! Service and ambiance were good too. Definitely going to be back more often. 10/10 read more

Chopsticks Pho & Grill - Grilled pork Bánh mì 10/10! - Vietnamese Near Me - Newark, California

DISHES WITH MASSIVE MENU The first time I passed by this place was I believe either late spring or early summer. There were pictures of food items on the window. One picture that grabbed my interest was beef rib pho. I walked back and forth as I thought about eating here that day. At the end I decided not to eat at Chopsticks Pho & Grill. About several months later I came here to eat. I was dead set to eat the beef rib pho until I saw on the menu one item stood out - oxtail pho. There was no hesitation as I choose oxtail pho. I love oxtails, but last time I had oxtail pho at another Vietnamese restaurant in Dublin the oxtail was bouncy as a tennis ball. Would I be disappointed with the oxtail pho at Chopsticks Pho & Grill? No I loved it as the oxtails were tender with the meat falling off the bone. The other dish I ordered was pork egg rolls. I've eaten egg rolls with ground pork, but the egg rolls I ate at Chopsticks Pho & Grill were grilled pork. Since the pork was sliced not ground I could taste the pork. The second time I came here I ordered the beef rib pho. In addition I ordered the chicken wings. The beef rib pho was ok. Had I eaten the beef rib pho I don't know if I would come back to Chopsticks Pho & Grill so soon. The oxtail pho made me come back here to eat. I noticed the scores on the chicken wings. I know this technique makes the chicken cook all around, but the meat on the chicken wings was too crispy for my taste. The next time I came here I ordered a grill item. I asked my server if she would recommend the grilled pork chop or grilled beef. She recommended the grilled pork chop. Even though I liked the sweet, tangy glaze the pork chop itself was ok. When I'm craving for banh mi I usually go to an eatery that specializes that type of sandwich. During my visits to Chopsticks Pho & Grill I noticed banh mi was served. On my next visit I came here for the banh mi. For the meat I ordered the grilled pork. The banh mi grilled pork was tastier than the grilled pork chop. Even though the pork chop had the glaze the different textures of the banh mi grilled pork with the toasted bread, pickled vegetables, and savory meat is why I preferred the sandwich over the grilled pork chop. On my last visit I ordered the fried shrimp cake and grilled chicken rice plate. Some parts of the grilled chicken were cold. The fried shrimp cake made up as the outside was flaky and inside was moist. During my visits to Chopsticks Pho & Grill my favorite items were the oxtail pho, banh mi, and grilled pork egg roll. Ordering items can be intimating as the menu at this eatery is massive. When I come back here I'll try one of the vermicelli dishes. If I'm uncertain what dish to order I'll revert back to the oxtail pho. read more

Good, not great. My family of 6 arrived after a long morning of cherry picking and was in need of some lunch to refuel. After seeing the promising reviews, I threw out the idea of Chopsticks Pho & Grill. No wait was required at the time of our arrival and menus were immediately brought out. Here you will find staple Vietnamese dishes such as: pho, bun bo hue, bo kho, bun, rice plates, banh mi, & an assortment of beverages. Purchases: -Com Bo Luc Lac [shaken beef + rice] -Goi Cuon Tom Thit [pork & shrimp spring rolls] -Pho Dac Biet + Duoi Bo [combination beef pho + beef rib] -Pho Tom [shrimp pho- with or without head on shrimp offered] -Pho Tai Bo Vien [beef ball & rare beef pho] Food: Food was okay, just more on the bland side. Pho broth was not flavorful, the soup on the side [served with the cubed beef plate] lowkey tasted like water, and bo luc lac was slightly overcooked + a bit tough. Staff was friendly and patient, the restaurant was clean, and the service is pretty quick. Cash payment will get you a slight discount and card payments include a transaction fee. 3 stars overall. read more

this place is chock full of msg. i got my tummy so full of msg my legs turned into chopsticks (hahaha get it). anyway their food is average. VERY average. and i'm very sad. i love inhaling msg-ridden food, knowing that 2 hours later i would need to 1) take a massive dump and 2) drink a bunch of water to quench my never ending dehydration! located in business plaza, easy to find, near feng cha and 85 cafe so there are some options for your eventual dehydration. telling yall it gets bad. or maybe it's just me. i don't drink enough water service was good idk. anyway onto the food which had excellent prices! $17-20 per bazooka i think 1) bun bo hue-- not bad. portions? gargantuan. devoid of flavor? a bit. it just tasted watered down. but there was lots of perfectly cooked meat and not that perfectly cooked noodles (more soggy than bouncy if anything) 6/10 2) beef rib pho-- also not bad. better cooked noodles, slightly overcooked meat and broth that's been msg'd to oblivion. but i got a whole cow in my bowl. in this economy!!! for that reason 8/10 3) grilled pork rice place-- oof sucky suck. dry meat, dry egg thing, unappetizing presentation. came with lettuce and pickles and fish sauce and some savory jelly looking thing. idk what the name is. anyway i tried a bite of everything together and went HELL NAH in a mariah carey way. just imagine it 3/10 overall an average viet place but the prices and portions are good. and if you've been craving msg it really hits. just wish the food was good enough for me to sacrifice my hydration level UGHHH read more

I wanted to try the bun bo hue but it was too hot for that... So I settled on C13 Tàu hủ ky, thịt. Overall the dish was good, you get a good amount of food for $17, the pork was thinly sliced and soaked in a lot of flavor. My only criticism is the fish cake was pretty thin and I had better versions where the wrapping was better deep fried crispy. The service was quick and friendly. Side note they have a beautiful painted mural which was nice to get lost in all the details. read more

This is a very clean establishment with friendly service. I had the vermicelli with grilled pork and fried egg rolls.

Will def come back ! read more

Very good vietnamese food! This is probably my favorite Bun Bo Hue broth I've tried. Definitely does use MSG for enhancement but it's seriously so addicting and satisfying to sip on! Portion was also large with generous amounts of meat, but the meat itself was not of great quality. My mom enjoyed her wonton with egg noodles; it was a clear, light, yet comforting broth. We both also liked the deep fried mushroom appetizer which was also quite large! Drinks here are not bad but definitely on the sweeter side and they don't let you adjust it. It was pretty busy when we went so our food took around 20 minutes to come out. The workers were being as efficient as they could be which is appreciated. There's not much else to the service though. The place has unique murals which I though was pretty cool. It's an overall really good option for some vietnamese food! read more

Some of the best pho broth I have ever tasted to this day!!! My mom and I were in the area and we both wanted something quick and easy. My mom suggested a different pho place but I went on Yelp and saw the good reviews from her so I told her let's try this place instead. I am so happy we ate pho here!!! My mom also really enjoyed the pho here. We still talk about how good the broth is!!! So good!!! I've been eating pho all my life..and I have to say this broth is the best!!! I live in San Jose..but from now on if I ever want pho and I'm heading towards Newark/Union City I will be coming here!!! read more

Was in the area and decided to stop by for lunch. It was pretty dead for a weekend lunch. We were the only ones inside with a few customers doing take out so service was fairly quick. We got a large P8 rare and tripe pho and H7 bun bo hue. Originally we wanted the beef rib pho but it wasn't advertised on the menu so we thought it was no longer served. After we placed our order, we noticed the beef rib pho was advertised on the wall. We completely missed it. It should be noted in the menu or in an easily spotted location. The BBH was very flavorful and spicy, but not overly spicy. It also had a good amount of meat. The pork blood, however, didn't taste very fresh. The broth for the pho was also flavorful but the quality of the noodles were not the best. Not sure if the noodles were old or cooked for too long because it broke apart easily and some were clumped together. Overall, food was ok and filled us up. If you pay by cash, you get a 4% discount on your check. read more

Chopsticks Pho & Grill - Bun Bo Hue - Vietnamese Near Me - Newark, California

This is a great little joint serving authentic Vietnamese dishes located in a Newark shopping mall. It's usually not super crowded given the plethora of restaurants in the area, and the menu is fairly extensive so you can browse at your leisure. I always get my favorite dish Bun Bo Hue (spicy beef noodle soup) and this place is generous with their toppings - bean sprouts, cilantro, and mint - as well as their meat/flank portions and noodles. I never walk away hungry. Note that per Bay Area pricing you'll probably put away a minimum of $20 per person for the entree, and more if you order appetizers or drinks. Like a lot of Vietnamese restaurants you'll pay at the front counter once you're done eating. It was nice and quiet when I went, and the food came out hot and fresh. I like the no-frills nature of ordering - no small talk, just plenty of good food! read more

We end up going her at least once or twice a week. If it's a cold day, you go for pho. If it's a hot day, you go for a rice plate. Either way, it's an easy choice because they're quick and have you out of there before that 30m lunch ends. read more

Came here on a Thursday night and it seemed pretty slow. We were the only group of three in! But it seems like a lot of people usually order to-go. Service was fast and we were able to get our food pretty quick. I got the rare and brisket pho and it tasted like typical pho- warm and toasty. The beef spring rolls were probs my favorite! Lots of flavor to the beef and the veggies kept it light and refreshing. The peanut sauce was also flavorful. Overall, this is a decent place if you're nearby the area and are craving some viet food read more

I've been eyeing this place since they opened but only visited recently this week. I regret not visiting earlier because their food is so solid. My boyfriend wanted bun bo hue and said it tasted just like the way his mother makes it. Nicely balanced lemongrass flavor. My bbq pork vermicelli bowl was also SO YUM I love getting these bowls especially in the warmer months because it reminds me of Korean bibimguksu which I grew up eating. Their Vietnamese coffee also got a thumbs up from my boyfriend and I enjoyed their mango slushy (they use real mango bits) Will be back~~~ read more

This place is a pretty solid Viet spot in Newark! Prices are a little higher due to inflation and the business trying to stay afloat but I'd say it's pretty worth it. The BBH (Bun Bo Hue) was very flavorful but not as spicy as I wanted it to be. The meat portion in both the beef rib pho and bbh were VERY generous. The beef rib pho comes with 3 ribs which I think is more than enough for a single person. Overall this place is really great if you're looking for a go-to spot for authentic viet food :) read more

Chopsticks Pho & Grill - Friends and family at the table to celebrate Lunar New Year. - Vietnamese Near Me - Newark, California

Honestly, the food was okay. We ordered their pork and shrimp egg rolls. I had the grilled pork vermicelli and my boyfriend had the grilled pork banh mi with a fried egg. The egg rolls were alright. Ours was mostly pork; it didn't seem to have much shrimp. Crunch was good, flavor was good, 7.5/10. The vermicelli was a little underwhelming. I'm a huge fan of vermicelli but this one lacked flavor, even with the fish sauce mixture. Large portion though. 7/10. The banh mi was more flavorful than my dish. Loved the bread, 8.5/10. They also gave us each a complimentary side of soup for the entrees that we ordered. The soup had a mild taste and was lukewarm, 6/10. Prices were average. Went there around 5:30 pm on a Sunday and no one was there, so service was fast. The dining room was really hot, I don't think the AC was on at the time. I would come back for the banh mi. read more

We sat ourselves down + the food came out relatively quickly as the restaurant was completely empty around 12 pm! The noodle helping was pretty generous but the meat was kind of tough to chew on + the flavor of the broth was maybe a touch too salty? I found myself drinking tons of water the entire time (the water tastes like it's been infused with lime so it's bitter, for anybody who doesn't like it, like me!) The spring roll + sauce wasn't bad but not extremely memorable either. I felt that the grilled pork wasn't super flavorful and the pork was grilled a bit too much so that the edges were burnt and really dry. read more

10/29/21 Disappointed. My husband and I agreed that our dinner at Chopsticks was disappointing. The pork sausage spring rolls were nothing like the ones we ate at Pho Ha Noi in San Jose. Not even close...plus the sauce was nasty. The pho, although loaded with lots of different meats was just mediocre at best. And it pains me to say but I hated their fried egg rolls. How can you screw up on fried egg rolls? They were awful. My grilled pork was also extremely tough to eat. It was overcooked. They also currently have a Conditional Rating and visible pest traps on the floor. We won't be back. read more
