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!

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!

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.

This is my first time here. The staffs are friendly. I have the grill pork & egg roll vermicelli & grill quail. The fish sauce for my dish is just right. The price is reasonable. The atmosphere is nice. I would come back to try other dishes.

Got egg rolls here. They were good. My friend got combo pho. I didn't have any though. But my egg rolls were good.

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.

Jessica N.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Erni N.

My friends and I decided to try Dope Pho because it's close to my friend's house. We had Bun Bo hue, roasted quails and vermicelli bowls. Everything was delicious. Definitely, will come back again.

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!!

Pretty good. They were able to make a vegetarian Banh Mi with an egg and no liver pate. Pretty standard but still good. Got the pad Thai: it was good. The noodles were not the type of noodles typically used, but what do you expect when you're ordering Thai from a Vietnamese spot. Garlic tofu was ok. Overall not bad. I'm sure for the meat eaters it might be good, but for vegetarians it's pretty standard. I'd recommend. It was busy when we went. read more

The cold weather called for a nice hot bowl of soup so we decided to try out this new pho place and it did not disappoint! We ordered spring rolls, combination pho, and grilled chicken vermicelli. The portions were great and the dishes were very flavorful! The broth for the pho was a little on the sweeter side but it didn't have that aftertaste that some pho places have. The grilled chicken was perfectly cooked and seasoned! The customer service was top notch! I got take out & brought my 3 year old with me & the worker offered to carry my order to the car! Will definitely be coming back here again! read more

Went hiking in Fremont on a cold Sunday and needed something warm -- Dope Pho was the perfect spot! My Vietnamese friend recommended it, and every dish we tried was amazing. Great flavors, huge portions, and unbeatable prices. Top picks: * Beef Rib Pho (#20): Tender rib, rich broth, and your choice of noodles -- under $20! * Pho Dac Biet (#14): Fully loaded with rare beef, meatballs, tripe -- super satisfying. * Sizzling Steak (#57): Juicy, flavorful, and comes with a jammy egg. * Grilled Quail: Crispy outside, juicy inside -- must try! * Egg Coffee & Salt Cream Coffee: So rich and unique. Way better than regular coffee! Everything was delicious. Fast service, easy parking -- will definitely be back! read more

Appetizer Shrimp spring rolls: Rice paper wrapped with shrimp, vegetables and rice noodles, dipped in peanut sauce, refreshing and fragrant, with a hint of lemongrass! Fried squid rings: The skin is golden and crispy, the squid inside is chewy, and paired with a special sweet and sour dipping sauce, it is fresh and sweet Main course Beef rib rice noodles: Two super large beef ribs are soaked in soup, the soup is rich, the meat is stewed soft, and it is super satisfying to take a bite! Vietnamese cold rice noodles: Add grilled chicken and grilled shrimp, paired with fresh vegetables, sweet and sour taste Seafood fried noodles: The egg noodles are chewy and full of seafood, and every bite is a pleasure Steak steak + Vietnamese baguette sandwich: The steak is still sizzling when it is served, paired with a crispy baguette, liver sauce and a lava fried egg, the taste is super rich! After eating, I feel that this restaurant not only has a wide selection of dishes, but also has a very rich taste! Whether it is barbecue or stir-fry, the wok is very full!

TikTok brought me here and honestly, it was overhyped. Services was immaculate tho! You can tell it's family owned and they were very nice and attentive. We ordered the eggrolls, which in my opinion was not worth $7. For 2?!?!? It was good, but for $7 at least give us 3 or 4. And it came with sweet and sour sauce which was disappointing because in Vietnamese cuisine, we dip in fish sauce! I ordered the bun bo hue which was good and flavorful but it didn't have anything BBH should have in it. No pork feet or bone, no pork blood. It came with a lot of I think flank meat? They give you a good amount so if you like that type of meat then you'd love this bowl. I switched my noodles to ho fun noodles which was over cooked. It broke really easily almost to the point where I needed a spoon to pick up the noodles because they were broken into little bits now. My bf got the pork chops which came with 3! Never seen rice plate with 3 and decent size too. I liked the pork chops more than my bbh. My bf said it lacked some flavor. read more

I met up with my non-vegan best friend, and we both loved our meals. We shared two vegan appetizers and each got our own entree.

Here's what we ordered: Mango Mojito, Vegan Thai Tea, Roti Curry, Vegan Crispy Eggplant Strips, Vegan Shrimp Laksa Noodle Soup, and Premium BBQ Combo. The presentation of our dishes was on point, and the portions were generous. Everything I tried was super flavorful and delicious. The curry sauce for the roti was incredible, and the breading on the crispy eggplant was really flavorful and tasty, though I was a bit surprised by the ketchup on top. Next time, I'd ask for the ketchup on the side. The laksa noodle soup broth had an amazing depth of flavor. I didn't try the mango mojito or BBQ combo, but my friend said she absolutely loved them!

My recommendation is to order your drinks less sweet. It's the perfect level of sweetness. The only tweak I'd make is adding an extra shot of espresso to the coconut coffee. The food, unfortunately, didn't live up to the drinks. I tried a few of the bánh mì sandwiches, and the bread-to-filling ratio was way off. There just wasn't enough filling, and even after ordering extra veggies, it didn't seem like there were actually any extra added. If you're specifically craving a Vietnamese sandwich, I'd recommend driving about a mile up the road to Huong Sandwiches instead. That said, I still want to come back and try more of their food menu because the drinks alone keep bringing me back. The café itself is adorable. I love the modern design and all the greenery throughout the space. It's clean, quiet enough to study or work, and has about 7 small tables, making it ideal for solo visits or small groups of up to four people. I also appreciated the powerful hand dryer in the restroom (it's the little things!) and plenty of parking. Come for the drinks, stay for the atmosphere.

TWO PHOS AND TWO RICE PLATES…read more The first time I came here was about a couple of months ago for Sunday dinner with my family. I'm not a fan of pho so I decided to order a rice plate, which was Combo Plate #2 that included one grilled pork and two fried chicken wings. The rice plate I ordered was ok. Even though the chicken wings were cooked inside the meat tasted bland. I wasn't planning to come back here anytime soon. On the menu however I saw a pho item that consisted of chicken quarters. The next time I came here was a couple of days later for lunch. I ordered the pho with chicken quarters. With the addition of the ginger scallion sauce the dish is basically Hainan chicken pho. I've had this type of pho at another eatery and is the best chicken soup I've ever had. Since the chicken isn't shredded, the meat isn't dry. Usually for Hainan chicken I would dip the chicken in the ginger scallion sauce. I did something different for the first time. I added the scallion ginger sauce in the broth. This brought more flavor to the broth. I'd rather have scallion ginger sauce in the broth than sriracha. I'm not a fan of pho. Having the chicken quarters pho provided me a different perspective on pho. When I started having pho I would order get rare steak and beef tendon. What I noticed is that the rare steak changes the texture of the broth, which becomes murky. Maybe that's why I never craved for pho. I find well done beef atrocious. After having the chicken quarters pho I thought why not try the well done brisket. About week later I ordered the well done brisket pho for lunch. From the outset I noticed the broth from the well-done pho is clearer than any beef pho before. How did the broth taste? The broth was the best tasting pho with beef ingredients. I think that has to do with not having raw slices of beef. The blood from the raw beef makes the broth murky. Since the brisket was well-done there was no blood that made the broth cloudy. Also the flavor of the broth enhanced due to the fat from the brisket. The well-done brisket give me a different perspective on pho. Maybe in the future I just order well-done brisket for pho. My last visit I had another rice plate. As I already ordered the chicken leg quarters pho I wanted to try the rice plate version. This dish is Pho Nation's version of Hainan chicken. Even though the scallion ginger was served this dish is different from Hainan chicken as chicken at Pho Nation is steamed and served hot. I ate two phos and two rice dishes. Normally at pho eateries I tend to like the rice dishes more, but at Pho Nation I enjoyed the phos more. If I want to eat pho with a clear yet tasty broth I would come to Pho Nation for either the chicken quarters or well-done brisket pho.

I am extremely disappointed with my experience at this restaurant and will not be returning…read more I called multiple times around 9:03 PM to place a takeout order. My calls rang repeatedly without being answered, and one call was picked up and immediately disconnected. Since I was already driving there, I went in person and saw an employee standing at the register, which made the lack of response even more frustrating. When I placed my order, I requested Tom Kha soup with mushrooms only, but was told that was not possible and that I had to choose either vegetables or shrimp. I explained that mushrooms were the only vegetable I wanted in the soup, but I was still told no. I then ordered spicy eggplant with ground chicken and two jasmine rice. After I paid for my order, I realized I wanted extra eggplant and went back to the counter to add it. I specifically told the employee that I was happy to pay the additional charge. Despite having just placed and paid for my order moments earlier, I was told they could not add extra eggplant because the kitchen was closing. The biggest issue came when I received my food. I specifically ordered spicy eggplant with ground chicken, but the dish was made with sliced chicken instead. When I brought it back, one employee initially insisted that this was how the dish came. Another employee then acknowledged that I had, in fact, ordered ground chicken. After speaking among themselves, they returned and asked if I would simply keep the incorrect order because they could not remake it. When I declined, they agreed to issue a refund. However, during the refund process, I was shocked when an employee asked for the condiments back because I was no longer taking the food. We are talking about a small container of sauce and a few jalapeño slices. In all my years of dining out, I have never had a restaurant ask for complimentary condiments back after making a mistake on an order. What was most disappointing was the complete lack of customer service. There was no apology for the unanswered phone calls, the incorrect order, or the inconvenience. Instead, I was met with attitude and indifference throughout the interaction. To make matters worse, employees were already mopping the floors while numerous customers were still dining inside. I personally almost slipped on the wet floor. The staff clearly saw customers walking through the area, yet the floors were being mopped before customers had even finished their meals, creating an unnecessary safety hazard. I also witnessed several customers being turned away despite arriving before the posted closing time, while there were still many customers seated and eating inside the restaurant. It appeared that staff were more focused on closing and leaving than serving customers during their posted business hours. Finally, when I asked for a copy of my refund receipt after accidentally handing mine back, I was told they could not print another one. Instead, an employee handed me the restaurant's copy of the refund receipt and instructed me to take a picture of it with my phone. Mistakes happen in every business. What matters is how they are handled. Unfortunately, this experience was marked by poor communication, lack of professionalism, and a complete absence of customer care. I hope the owner sees this review because they deserve to know how customers are being treated. For anyone looking for excellent Thai food and outstanding customer service, I highly recommend New Krungthai Restaurant. They have been consistently wonderful, their food is excellent, and they have always treated me with kindness and respect. They have earned my business for years to come, and I will gladly continue supporting them. Unfortunately, after this experience, I will be taking my business there instead. Good food is important, but customer service and professionalism matter just as much.

I came to Dope Pho last Friday after seeing it all over TikTok, and I have to say, the Bún Bò Huế and Bò Lúc Lắc were absolutely delicious definitely lived up to the hype. However, I did notice an issue with the service. There were two waitresses working that day. One of them was super active, running back and forth helping both the kitchen and customers big props to her. But the other one seemed uninterested in her job, mostly sitting at the register on her phone, chatting and not paying attention. While customers were clearly in need of water refills, she remained on her phone instead of checking in on us. I even heard the kitchen bell ring a few times, but she didn't respond. It felt unprofessional, especially when tips are expected. Also, when taking orders, it would be great if the staff could speak a little louder and smile more it really makes a difference in the dining experience. The food was great, and I'll probably come back, but I hope the service improves. With just a bit more attention to customer care, this place could easily be top-tier. read more

After seeing all the social media hype, I had to come check out Dope Pho for myself and I'm glad I did. I ordered the Short Ribs Pho, and wow! It did not disappoint. It came with two large ribs and one smaller piece, all fall off the bone tender. As a big dude with a big appetite, I can confidently say the portion was more than satisfying. The broth? Straight-up delicious. I saw some people online saying it was "flat," but mine was full of flavor. It had that deep, rich pho essence with just the right balance of spices and umami...none of that watered-down stuff you get at trendier places. Living in the East Bay, this place is a game-changer. No need to drive all the way out to East San Jose for legit pho anymore. Dope Pho can definitely hold its own. Solid food, generous portions, and no long commute? That's a win in my book. Bonus: the staff let me know about their Happy Hour menu after 8:00 PM, which is a nice touch for late-night cravings. Already planning my next visit, going for the Bún Bò Huế next time! read more

The experience overall was pretty solid from the moment I got there till I finished, the staff were friendly without hovering which I liked because sometimes you just want to eat in peace and they gave that space but still showed they cared, they even noticed when I looked around and came over to ask if I needed anything without me saying a word which felt thoughtful and not forced, the food itself was flavorful and fresh, each dish had its own character and the portions were more than enough for what I paid, the flavors weren't wild or over the top but comforting and well done, like someone took their time making it right, I enjoyed every bite and didn't feel rushed which is always nice, the place was clean and the seating was comfortable, there's always small stuff like the lighting could be a bit warmer or maybe some softer music but that didn't really take away from the meal, it's the kind of spot I'd bring a friend to just to catch up over good food and decent service. read more

Dope Pho in Fremont quickly became one of my goto spots for a hearty, comforting meal. What stood out first was the warm, attentive service:the staff genuinely seemed to care that every guest left happy. The restaurant itself feels modern yet cozy, with spotless tables and a pleasant buzz of conversation. I started with the banh mi, which surprised me with its perfect crunch and well balanced fillings, savory pork, crisp veggies, and just enough spice. But the real star was the pho. The broth was deep and aromatic, clearly slow cooked for hours. The noodles had the right chew, and the combination of brisket and tendon melted in my mouth. I appreciated the thoughtful touches:fresh herbs, extra bean sprouts, and lime wedges delivered without asking. Portion sizes were generous, and the prices fair. For anyone craving authentic, well crafted Vietnamese comfort food, Dope Pho is absolutely worth a visit. read more

From the moment I walked into Dope Pho in Fremont, I felt welcomed friendly staff greeted me with genuine smiles and offered water while I browsed the menu. My first bowl, the pho dac biet, arrived steaming hot, with a rich, fragrant broth that tasted slowly simmered and balanced not overly salty, with just the right hint of anise. The slices of brisket and tender flank were well cooked, and the meatballs were springy without being rubbery. I also tried their banh mi, and the bread was crisp on the outside yet airy inside, filled with fresh cilantro, pickled carrots, and a savory pork filling. Prices were reasonable, especially for the generous portions. The restaurant was clean, and the staff checked in on me (without being intrusive) to refill tea or top off broth. One tip: ask for extra lime and basil, it brightens the flavor nicely. Overall, Dope Pho delivered a comforting, satisfying meal. read more

Dope Pho in Fremont instantly won me over. I stopped in for a quick lunch, expecting something simple, but the food turned out way better than I imagined. The restaurant has a relaxed, modern vibe, spotless tables, cozy seating, and friendly music in the background. I ordered the rare steak pho, and the broth was incredibly rich and aromatic. It had that perfect balance of savory and slightly sweet notes, with tender slices of beef that cooked just right in the hot soup. Their iced coffee was another highlight. bold, smooth, and not overly sweet. What impressed me most was how attentive the staff were, even during a busy lunch hour. They checked in, refilled water, and made sure everything tasted great. Dope Pho is one of those spots that feels local but delivers restaurant quality food every time. Comforting, flavorful, and made with care. highly recommended. read more

I finally tried Dope Pho in Fremont after hearing great things, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. The moment I walked in, the place felt clean, bright, and modern, with the kind of comforting aroma that makes you hungry right away. I ordered the brisket pho, and the broth blew me away. deep, savory, and just slightly sweet from the spices. You can tell its been simmered for hours. The noodles were silky and didnt clump, and the brisket was tender enough to melt in my mouth. What stood out most, though, was the service. The team worked seamlessly, bringing food quickly and checking in without hovering. I also loved that they served plenty of fresh herbs and lime on the side. simple touches that make a big difference.

I stopped by Dope Pho recently craving something warm and familiar and it hit the spot. The restaurant is clean and bright, not fancy, but comfortable, which is what I wanted.

One thing I appreciated: they give you a good amount of herbs, bean sprouts, and lime without me needing to ask for extras.

Sure! Here's Tried Dope Pho for the first time and it definitely lived up to the name! The restaurant has a clean, modern vibe that's both welcoming and chill. The staff were super friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. I ordered the beef rib pho, crispy garlic tofu, and the fried rice flour cake--and everything was delicious. The beef rib pho had a rich, flavorful broth with perfectly tender meat. The crispy garlic tofu was golden, crunchy, and packed with flavor. And the fried rice flour cake? So good--crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. It all came together for a really satisfying meal. I'll definitely be coming back to try more of the menu! read more

Absolutely loved my experience at Dope Pho! The pho broth was rich, flavorful, and tasted like it had been simmering for hours. The meat was tender, the ingredients were fresh, and the portions were generous. The staff was also super friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant had a clean, modern vibe that made the whole experience even better. You can really tell they care about both the food and the customer experience. Definitely one of the best Vietnamese spots I've tried in the area, I'll absolutely be coming back again soon. Highly recommend! read more

Heard the hype from IG and heard the owner was the same owner Kakuna sushi next door. Tried the pho and it was salty and no authentic flavor of pho. $19 for a bowl of pho and doesn't taste anything special is ridiculous. The spring roll is skimpy and expensive for 2 rolls with hella lettuce. So many fake review for this place. Service is like any service at a viet restaurant. Nothing special about this place but updated an interior but looks too all over the place. They should stick to sushi. read more

Really tasty and satisfying. With bento boxes I've had from other places--or even with some wraps--you often find yourself counting the pieces of meat: 3, 4, 5... and that's it. But I ordered the chicken noodle soup, and it was completely covered with chicken on top. I can honestly say I ate, I was full, and I even had a small portion of noodles and chicken left for the next day. It's not only delicious, but the portions are generous, and for what you get, I think the price is more than fair. read more

I recently tried Dope Pho for lunch and was blown away! The grilled beef banh mi was perfectly balanced, with tender, flavorful beef and fresh, crisp vegetables. The strawberry drink was sweet and satisfying, while the passion fruit drink had a lovely tartness that complemented the sandwich perfectly. I'll definitely be back! I was also very impressed with the friendly and efficient service. read more

What really sets this Dope Pho apart is the authenticity; every element feels thoughtfully prepared and made with care. The portion size is generous, ensuring you leave fully satisfied. The service is also top-notch - friendly, attentive, and quick without feeling rushed. If you're in the area and looking for some of the best Pho around, this spot is a must-visit. Five stars all the way! read more

Atmosphere: Clean and nice place to meet friends. Food: I didn't expect the crispy fired noodles to look like this but the taste is great! The wide rice noodles are stacked and the pieces are friendly. The crispiness and the good taste of the soggy soup after dipping in the sauce will win your palate. I tried my friend's phone and the broth is also good! Service: Super warm and helpful! read more

Would highly recommend! Closed at 12 so it's perfect for your late night cravings. I'd recommend getting the pork skewers, it was very flavorful and fatty when I tried it. Big bowls of pho for a good price and it gets me full everytime! read more
