I came here after crashing out on someone ghosting me again lol. There seems to be a theme, the last few reviews are me getting ghosted. Anyway, I stopped here after going to anime impulse because I was craving soup. When I got there there was hella parking, the restaurant was clean, and the service was hella good. The ladies working were hella nice. I ended up getting Bun Bo Hue which was hella fire. Also one of the ladies put the world cup match between france and england. It was nice watching with them like we were hanging out. lol. Well if you think of coming here, you should. Even when I was in my feels, this place brought it up! read more

Dope Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Fremont, California

We ordered the rare beef and brisket pho, shaking beef, and fish sauce chicken wings. The pho arrived warm and not even close to hot. Because the broth wasn't hot enough, it couldn't cook the slices of rare beef, so several pieces were still raw. For pho, serving the broth piping hot is pretty fundamental, so this was really disappointing. The shaking beef was just okay. The meat was tender, but it lacked a proper sear. The fish sauce chicken wings were the biggest letdown. They were about 70% batter, 20% bone, and only 10% actual chicken, leaving very little meat to eat. Overall, this wasn't the experience we were hoping for, and unfortunately we don't plan on returning. read more

Went in around 10pm, waited 20 minutes to get my order taken while the hostess didn't even take our order. The hostess was literally just cleaning, glancing at us not even wanting to take our order. read more

As a certified fake Asian, I can say this place gets my stamp of approval. Growing up more American than Vietnamese, I never appreciated my own culture til way later. Pho definitely took some time to grow on me. Anything ethnic, I'll stay on the safe side. Summer rolls, spring rolls, soup without weird meats, and that's about it. Now that I've had time to mature and marinate in my asian-ness, I now appreciate my culture a lot more. I still don't go outside of my comfort zone because I know what I like. Brisket pho, or thin Sliced beef. The soup was definitely flavorful, nice depth and not a lot of fat/oil. The spring rolls were nice and still crisp through takeout. Summer rolls hit the spot as well. Mr G got a Tom yum I think, no complaints. Ordered through doordash. Everything packed perfectly, no leakage and not missing a thing. I even had the pho in the fridge the first night since the soup came separate. Warmed up next day, no issues, still tasting fresh. Prices were comparable to most vietnamese restaurants and quality was great. Definitely recommend! read more

I drove past this place so many times and decided to finally stop by to try them out. This review is based solely on their Bánh mì sandwiches and spring rolls. The Bánh mì sandwiches I tried were both grilled bbq pork and grilled chicken. They are a truly authentic style Bánh mì with all the toppings and crunchy good bread. They marinated the pork and chicken to perfection, you can taste the proteins are very flavorful. I rate them both a solid 9.75/10 and the spring rolls 10/10 (they have a great peanut dipping sauce). Definitely will be my local go to for Bánh mì sandwiches! read more

Came here on a Wednesday around 10PM after our concert and we loved it. Found this place here on Yelp and it did not disappoint. The employee who helped us was very nice and was able to answer any questions we had plus give us recommendations. Inside was very clean and well lit, felt modern and welcoming. We got our food not long after we ordered and it tasted delicious. Broth was great and the meat just melts in your mouth. Portion is very good for the price you pay as well. Overall great experience, can't wait to come back again! read more

Dope Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Fremont, California

Short Rib Noodle Soup has been advertised on social media months ago and I don't know if they still promote it. I guess that the hyped went down overtime. I've been wanting to try it for a while now and now's it's a good time to do that. I heard that ribs are supposed to fall off easily based from what I saw but unfortunately it didn't. I spent minutes trying to rip the meat off into pieces with a fork and knife, and it was very difficult. Sometimes, I can't get some meat off, and instead had to normally eat the ribs with my own hands. It got to the point that a small portion of the soup spilled because of how tough the meat is. Good thing that it wasn't the whole soup, which would have been a lot worse. Despite all that, the short ribs are really good, but I wish the meat is tender just like what I saw online when the meat easily falls off from the bone. The rocket shrimp eggrolls are really good. I was quite interested with it because of how it's named. Anyways, I don't think I'll be ordering that pho again just because of how hard it is to cut the meat, but I'll just try other dishes in my future visits. Just be careful when trying to cut the rib meat. Hopefully, they will do something about making the ribs more tender. read more

I came here for lunch, and I thought the food was pretty mid. I always get the brisket pho whenever I go to a Vietnamese restaurant, and this one was just ok. The brisket wasn't very tender. The broth was just ok, too. The portion size is big, but I wouldn't come back here. The service was friendly, and it was very clean. read more

This place has been my goto place for a few years now. Great alternative to Pho Hanoi but with no wait. Their rare steak is tender and juicy and their portions always leave me full by the end of the meal. read more

Broth was great in my seafood pho. Service was prompt and our food was out quickly. We had several dishes which looked good by way of presentation. Tofu and calamari were very crunch and the calamari was an almost clean bite with the elusive string of calamari bite that would always take forever to sever. Towards the end of our lovely meal, at the bottom of one of our bowls, was a little bug. Dead and lifeless. My partner approached the lady at the front about the bug, which was now on a napkin. The lady awkwardly laughed and said its because theres a lot of flies back there and offered a $5 discount and free jelly. Just for the bug alone, I will not recommend this place. Vibe and everything else is fine. Its sad to say that because it was a really promising place. Go at you own risk. read more

Dope Pho - Chicken Noodle Soup - Vietnamese Near Me - Fremont, California

Excellent short rib pho. Tender meat on the brontosaurus bone! Very good broth, no oil floating on top. Sweeter than the usual broth, and though I prefer savory, it was extremely flavorful and good -- especially after I put my herbs, lemon, and siracha into it. The shaking beef was also very good. It was a great filet mignon with veggies. Not over sauced, but flavored right. The service is very good, very and friendly. They're open late, so they're perfect for late night cravings. read more

Absolutely delicious! The beef rib pho was amazing -- the ribs were huge, super tender, and literally falling off the bone. They definitely don't hold back on the meat! The broth was rich, flavorful, and comforting without being too heavy, and the noodles had the perfect texture.Everything came out fresh and looked just as good as it tasted. The portion was very generous and definitely worth the price. If you're a beef lover, I highly recommend the beef rib pho. I'll definitely be coming back to try more dishes! read more

Dope Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Fremont, California

Dope Pho is located in a small strip mall close to the Arco gas station, Kakuna Sushi, Nails & Spa, etc. A nice simple, clean restaurant with a few simple decorations. Two separate single-user men and women's restrooms. The soup was a clean, simple seasoned broth. The short ribs were tender, fall-off-the-bone. While eating the tender beef ribs, I had a few bone chips, so be careful eating this. I mean, its the same whenever you are eating fish, you need to be cautious of any missed bones. Support your local business. read more

Very solid pho restaurant. Theres not a lot of legitimate spots near Fremont so this is a great addition. I definitely prefer Dope Pho to the Pho Ha Noi at P Commons. The broth is very clean and the meat was good quality. A healthy portion for $18 - I had some leftovers to take home. They also have fresh noodles which was a plus! The restaurant itself is very modern. The service was quick. read more

Came by today to get a grilled pork bahn mi sandwich. I got it with everything. There was plenty of meat, along with a little mayo, cilantro, jalapeños, and the carrots and daikon mix. The sandwich was tasty. And you get a lot of food for $8. They do have a togo special where you get a sandwich and a Vietnamese coffee for $10. I like that they open at 9 am. Perfect when I want soup or a sandwich early in the day. read more

2.33 stars. After a visit to the cemetery, we, the Santos side of the family, went for an early dinner at DOPE PHO. Below is a breakdown of my 2.33 stars overall rating: VENUE: 3 stars. Located at GRIMMER SQUARE shopping centre, we easily found free parking in the spacious lot. We were a party of nine, walking in the casual eatery just minutes before 6 PM. No problem, only a few tables were occupied, so we were immediately seated after the staff pulled together a few half booth tables against the wall. One of our tables was not very clean, so Mom wiped it down. FOOD & DRINK: 2.5 stars. DOPE PHO serves beef noodle soup and other classic Vietnamese plates. Below are some of what we ordered: SHRIMP SPRING ROLLS ($8.45) & TOFU SPRING ROLLS ($7.45) - The fresh rice paper rolls, also known as gỏi cuốn, were good in composition and texture; however, the peanut sauce was pretty bland. If the sauce is a fail, the dish is far from being a winner. Unfortunately, this was the case here. EGGROLLS (3 PCS, $8.45) - DOPE PHO uses the right wrappers, so these fried rolls (chả giò) came out golden brown and irresistibly crispy. The typical way to eat these is wrapped with fresh herbs and green leaf lettuce, then dipped in fish sauce. Only bite-size pieces of lettuce, pickled veggies, and sweet & sour sauce accompanied the egg rolls, though. I had to ask for some fish sauce. I should have asked for some fresh herbs, too. CHICKEN POT STICKERS ($6.95) - These were great; crispy exterior and steaming hot flavourful meat inside. The dipping sauce was also tasty. VIETNAMESE COFFEE ($6.95) - OK, according to Auntie Marissa. RARE BEEF & SHORT RIB NOODLE SOUP ($19.95) - Mom ordered this bowl of phở of two slabs of bone-in rib meat, rice noodles, and a medley of fresh garnishes floating in a simmering, golden-brown broth. The ribs were the undeniable statement piece, but it all looked better than it tasted. Mom was disappointed in this soup. RARE BEEF & BRISKET NOODLE SOUP ($17.45) - Uncle Danny said that he did not like this soup "at all." Z did, though. RARE BEEF CHOICE BEEF FLAP ($17.45) - I appreciated that the beef was lean, but had to load up on lemon (V and I prefer lime instead), Sriracha, Hoisin Sauce, and several slices of jalapeño to add more flavour to my broth. Good thing that the side plate of bean sprouts, basil and especially jalapeño slices was a generous serving. CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP ($16.95) - V thought that his soup was good, but stated he has had better Viet soup elsewhere. THAI ICED TEA ($6.95) - Sweet and oddly missing the tea flavour...which makes it a fail. TARO JASMINE MILK TEA ($6.95) - Another bland drink. COCONUT COFFEE ($7.15) - Good, I could really taste the coconut come through. I wish that they would make this vegan. SHAKING BEEF (FILET MIGNON) OVER RICE ($19.95) - This dish was highly recommended by Auntie Marissa, so Auntie Selvy ordered it. I got to try a piece of meat. Again, savoury notes were lacking big time. To add flavour to her food, Auntie Selvy poured the leftover fish sauce that I got for the eggrolls. This was THE MOST flavourless SHAKING BEEF that I have ever tasted. Combination Fried Rice (Chicken & Shrimp) - This item dropped off of the menu, but you can still order it and the kitchen will make it. Not bad, but, again, a bit on the bland side. Soy sauce needed. SERVICE: 1.5 stars. Our waitress must have been new because she had no idea that the Combination Fried Rice (Chicken & Shrimp) was available to order. I stated earlier that we were a party of nine, right? I suggested to her to take our orders one-by-one from everyone, working her way around the table in an organized fashion. The weird thing was that as each person placed their orders, when we would reply to "anything else?," she would think that ordering would stop at that person, not that the response was specifically for that one person. We had to continuously tell her that the others still had to place their orders with her. Was this impatience or ignorance or both?? Once all food and drink were delivered to our table, our server never approached our table again - she never came by to check in on us to see if everything was ok or if we wanted to order anything else. In fact, my cousin had to go up to the counter MULTIPLE times to ask for to-go containers. Either our waitress needs more training or she just didn't care about our experience. Not only was service poor, they had flyers posted along the walls, offering a FREE Coconut Jelly in exchange for a 5-star review on Google or yelp. WOW! That's straight up bribery for inaccurate ratings. Super shady!! DOPE PHO is FAR from a 5-star place! I am seriously questioning if all of the 5-star yelp reviews are genuine. I would be curious to see if the number of perfect ratings would drop significantly once they take down those bribing flyers. Not sure why Auntie Marissa suggested to dine here. Definitely NOT dope. read more

This is our time trying dope pho and thought it was ok. The broth wasn't flavorful for the meatball pho, but they didn't skimp on the meat at all. They only have one size which is unfortunate because I was still hungry after finishing my bowl. What I loved about this pho place was that everything felt clean which isn't common for pho restaurants. I have to come back and try their vermicelli bowls and banh mi! read more

My daughters and I went on a girls date after a long shopping day. This 100% hit the spot. The food came out fast and was delicious. My 10 year old swears she only likes pho from one restaurant but she thoroughly enjoyed her food today at Dope Pho. I ordered the brisket and short rib bowl, the short rib was tender and juicy. Will deff come back after our next shopping date read more

Hi the pho is great I ordered the short rib pho loved it! The service was great as well!

Came here after Christmas for a warm place to eat in the cold! Ambiance 9/10: simple pho restaurant with minimal features but overall super clean inside. Service 10/10: the server greeted us as soon as we walked in! She and the older lady were both very warm and welcoming, always checking in to make sure the food was good and we were alright. Food 10/10: spring rolls were good (a little on the leafy side but I still enjoyed!!) pho and rice plate (not pictured) came out warm and delish! Their nuoc mam is sweet (yum!) and their egg rolls are very crispy! Total bill was around $54 for 2 entrees, 2 hot teas & an app! I would totally come again!! read more

Food was delicious and service was for the most part quick. They also checked in on us to make sure we were okay thought out the meal. The vermicelli dish is my go to and it was delicious. For milk tea, they offer to make any adjustments to your drink so would recommend starting with less sweetness then adding as needed. They have some booth seating that are great for groups and kids. The only negative is that the bathroom had a sewage smell that was a bit off putting. read more

With a name like Dope Pho you have to give it a try. Especially after I learned it was the same owner as Kakuna (my favorite go to sushi spot in Fremont). Restaurant is spacious and clean inside. We sat down and the menu had alot of great choices. We ordered shrimp spring rolls, beef stew pho, and rare beef and brisket pho. Good tasting broth for both phos but my favorite was the beef stew pho, just didn't like the chunks of carrots. My only complaint was our waters were never refilled. read more
