Omg, finally Fremont has a pho spot open late! This place is open every day until Midnight! With this cold, rainy weather, I always crave pho or some sort of soup so we decided to give this place a try. The soups (bun bo hue and pho) were on point and the bread baguette that came with the Beef Stew and Banh Mi was fresh and toasted perfectly. For a pho place, the service here was pretty good and the lady spoke perfect English. Not too many tables in here, but I noticed it was a quick turn around of people eating and leaving, so you won't have to wait too long if there is a wait. What we ordered: * Spicy Beef Noodle (Bun Bo Hue) * Shaking Beef Over Rice (Bo Luc Lac) * Grilled Beef Skewers * Chicken Wing Fish Sauce * Beef Stew * Combination Beef Noodle Soup * Grilled Pork Banh Mi * Roasted Quails * Grilled Pork Skewers read more

Saw a bunch of ad recommendations and went out to try it. We ordered 3 items. Pho, noodle, and an egg coffee. Pho was a few dollars less than regular price during happy hour, hence they gave us very little meat, then realized other helpers definitely had more for a bowl of pho. Wild. They don't give us option to opt out of their petty happy hour lol We ordered egg coffee, they left out during the first time ordering, we asked them and the same person who took the order asked if we want to order it when we asked if they still had it. Nothing much just regular viet coffee with a cream top Craziest part is they messed up our noodle order. The photo is taken after they "fixed" our order. They gave us the wrong type of noodle so they took it back and mixed the shrimps from original noodle they gave us this plate was untouched, it came out like this. No apology, just snatched the noodle like we were at fault. Don't believe all the influencers lol wild customer service. read more

Dope Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Fremont, California

Thank goodness another Pho restaurant opened near my home just a walking distance. Since there were good reviews, I brought my parents for lunch. My dad got the Rare Beef and Tendon Pho, my mom got the Grilled Pork and Shrimp Vermicelli Bowl, and I got the Vietnamese Sizzling Steak (Filet Mignon) and Eggs with a crispy baked baguette. The pho broth was a bit salty, but everything else was delicious, we finished without any leftovers. The service was welcoming and they cleaned the tables right away before each customer sat down. It's even spacious for a small restaurant. The utensils and napkins are prepared at each table so you don't have to wait for the servers to come to you. Expect to be crowded during lunch. They also have a happy hour at 8 pm for anyone who finished work late. read more

Came for dinner on Sunday and there was no wait. We were promptly greeted and seated upon entry. Employees were pleasant and ordering was easy. Haven't seen a lot of Pho restaurants in the area with Bone-in pho. Meat to noodle ratio was good and filling. The broth was tasty and hot enough. We got 2 orders of shaking beef. One was more overcooked and had less beef than the other but both tasted good. Seating area was clean and simple. Generic edm playing to stimulate a 100 chews per minute eating pace. Easy strip mall parking. read more

Right off the bat, the lady at the counter wasn't very welcoming and made us feel rushed. When the soup came out, it wasn't hot, just warm. The flavor was okay but could've been more bold. No one came around to refill water, so I was sitting there super thirsty. My friend got the shrimp egg rolls and they were shockingly small for $7. When it came time to pay, things went downhill fast. We had just three items, two soups and one egg roll, but the guy at the register couldn't seem to understand that we wanted to split the bill. We had to repeat ourselves five times, and at one point, he even motioned for my friend to just go away. It was a simple request, and he handled it rudely. I did notice the place filled up quickly, but honestly, it feels overpriced and overhyped. My family had been wanting to try it, but I know a spot closer to home that does it better. Told them to not waste their time driving here. read more

Dope Pho - Forgot to take the before picture. But this is the #16. For the price, I had to force myself to eat a majority of it - Vietnamese Near Me - Fremont, California

This spot brings to mind The Little Engine That Could. It's a cute mother-daughter duo, with mom cooking and the daughter handling orders, serving, and cleaning up. They really know how to get things done efficiently and with a smile. I was super impressed! I loved the raw beef and brisket pho--seriously good portions and so tasty. I'll definitely come back! read more

This restaurant was a huge disappointment! They claimed all of their Banh Mi had Pate, but it's about the size of a booger! The sandwich was dry as hell and expensive! Both Duchuong in San Jose and Saigon Sandwich in SF are way better in size, taste, and price! I swear to never go back to this restaurant Ever again! read more

Bright and clean inside. Friendly service. Took my family here for a weekend dinner. Mom enjoyed her combination pho. She said the broth was good. The flavor of the broth in the beef stew that Dad ordered was solid, but the meat needs to be cooked longer. This dish is my mom's specialty and she makes a spectacular version, so the bar is set high here. The meat should be softer. Skip the eggrolls. The fried tofu had a nice ginger flavor; enough to taste the ginger but not overwhelming, which I enjoyed. The best Vietnamese food is still found in East San Jose, but for the Fremont area, this is a solid restaurant. read more

Came here for dinner as I've been seeing this spot all over my Instagram feed recently. The service and ambiance is what you would expect from a pho spot, no frills really. A server comes to take your order very shortly after you are seated, and you pay at the counter once you are done. I ordered the pho with the large beef rib in it. I would say the pho is reasonably priced and tastes pretty good, however the large beef bone was a little hard to eat. I expected it to be more fall-off-the-bone, but it required quite a bit of chewing to eat. Regardless, I would say this is a good option if you are looking for a tasty bowl of pho. read more

I was seeing this on my feed and some of my friends were talking about it, so this restaurant has been in my radar since it opened. The one item I was curious about was the Bo Ne. We went on a Sunday late afternoon. It was slow, only 2 other people eating. We got greeted and seated right away. I knew I wanted to get the bo ne so I got that, and my bf got grilled chicken rice plate and a side of egg rolls. We also got egg coffee and Thai ice tea. We didn't wait too long and our drinks came in milk tea cups with the sealed plastic tops. After that, the egg rolls, then grilled chicken, then the bo ne. My bf wanted to wait for me to get my dish so his food was cold by the time I got my sizzling plate. How's the food/drinks? -Grilled chicken rice plate: It was meh. Small portion of chicken, with rice, iceberg lettuce, and pickled carrots and daikon. My bf was still hungry after eating. It was a small portion imo for the price. -Egg rolls: 2 pieces in an order, filled with vermicelli, mushrooms, veggies. I think maybe tofu crumbled? I don't know. Theres no description in the menu so I'm guessing. It's alright. Again, just 2 pc of small egg rolls for the price seems too pricey. -Bo Ne: I had high hopes for this, unfortunately this dish fell flat. The plate same sizzling. After it was done sizzling, the egg on the bottom was burnt. The "fillet mignon" wasn't very tender or flavorful. There was too much cut up raw onions just sitting next to the egg that obviously didn't soften or cook. The pate was runny and gross looking, and had no structure and flavor. Everything else that touch the bottom of the sizzling plate just burned. The baguette was fine. I don't know what the "pork roll" is that is supposed to be with this Bo Ne. All I got was the fillet mignon, pate, 2 eggs, pieces of onion, tomato and sprigs of cilantro, and a side of bread and dry spice mix (looks like salt, white pepper, some msg). After eating this Bo Ne I was also still hungry. -Thai Tea: Insanely sweet. The tea flavor is weak and watered down. Not good. -Egg Coffee: Insanely sweet again but it was okay. Not too bad. My bf loved it. Service? It was quick. No interactions with staff so can't say much. They say us, gave our food, and we stood up to pay at the counter. Overall, I think I will not be coming back. I think it's expensive for the amount of food you are getting. I have never left a restaurant and felt hungry. Unfortunately this place isn't for us. read more

Came here after seeing it on Yelp, this is one of the better places for Pho. You got a decent medium sized joint with a fair menu. I just got one of the Pho items with skewers as a side? Great flavor, fast service with slightly bigger portions. I intend to come back here in the near future. read more

After going to see the lights, we came here for some soup to warm us up. This place is not quite a 4 star but it is more than 3 stars. I'd give it a 3.5 stars. Got the Brisket and tendon pho which was ok. The brisket was tough and overcooked. The soup was good. Wish they had an option for just a tendon pho that I would get. The grilled chicken combo plate was good. Chicken was juicy and marinated well. Service was good and I like how bright the place is especially since the parking lot is dark. read more

This is a solid pho place located by the Acro station on Automall. We use to come here before it was Dope Pho, but I have to say the new name is catchy. The place is newly renovated, and looks nice inside. Their pho is quite good, with flavorful broth and a decent amount of meat. What we ordered: + Eggrolls - there's 2 for $6.95, which is a bit pricey, but they were crispy and good. + Seafood egg noodle soup - nice broth, a bit on the sweet side. There's a good variety of seafoods. I didn't care much for the imitation crab. + Spicy Beef Vermicelli Noodle Soup - the broth was really good and spicy. Beef was good, but hubby didn't care for some of the other miscellaneous ingredients (e.g., tendon, some sausage that tastes a bit like baloney) Overall, not a bad place for pho. read more

Really like their Pho here especially the beef rib, I just feel for $6 to add tendons is kind of steep for the amount they give you. 3 small pieces isn't worth $6 dollars if you ask me. Love all their teas as well. As for service there really only seems to be one guy who doesn't really understand basic English and gets the orders wrong at times even if you tell him you're allergic to something, they'll still put it in. All in all, I still love this place. read more

Dope Pho - Pho with the beef rib and tendons. - Vietnamese Near Me - Fremont, California

Short Story: A good and cheap place for pho in Fremont! Long Story: I've been coming here for some time. The name of the restaurant changes but the pho remain the same :). Right now it's dope pho and it's really good! They have a happy hour schedule after 8pm where the prices are about $3-$5 cheaper. I've gotten several phos such as the combination, meatball, short rib, etc. The service is friendly too. The restaurant is not that big but I have never had to wait more than 5 minutes. Verdict: I'm going back tomorrow! read more

Dope pho is DOPE, came during lunch on a weekday and it was packed but service and food was great

Ambiance: clean and nice place for friends to meet up. Food: I didn't expect the crispy fired noodles look like this haha but the taste is great! The wide rice noodles are stacked and friend in pieces. After dipping in the sauce the good balance crispiness and soggy soup flavor will win your palate. I tried my friend's pho and the broth is nice too! Service: super warm and helpful! read more

Dope Pho - 41. Crispy Fried Noodles with Beef - Vietnamese Near Me - Fremont, California

I'd say Dope Pho is like a 3.5 but would round it down to a 3 rather than a 4. We ordered the short rib pho twice before, and the first time I had it, the ribs were a great size. The second time my husband ordered it, the ribs were minuscule which defeats the highlight of the dish. It's also a bit on the sweeter side so I asked for some fish sauce. I do like that you have the option to choose fresh noodles though. The fried tofu looked good in photos and I saw some raving reviews, but it was just OK to me. It could have been seasoned and fried more + the quantity was small. Not to mention, all of our noodle soups always come out lukewarm. I did enjoy the bun bo hue which I've gotten a few times and so far it has been consistent. It has that shrimp paste flavor (that stanky sauce!) which gives it a deep profile. Service is hit or miss. The tables and utensils could also be cleaner. There isn't any table-side chili oil or fish sauce either. read more

Went with my family recently. I had their vegetarian noodle soup which wasn't quite the same sweet broth taste Im accustomed to, and get at most of the other Vietnamese restaurant.

This pho place is new, clean and with many options on their menu. We order the shrimp spring rolls, combination beef pho, and the spicy beef vermicelli soup. All items are legit, taste is authentic.

This is my first time at dope pho and I had their bun bo hue It was really good. Definitely will come back again to try their other menu.

TL;DR: - come for their stir-fried noodles (#42) and pho but skip on the bun bo hue. parking is easy, and the ambiance is upscale and would serve as a great date place. parking: - generous parking wait time: - we were sat down immediately but we had to wave down a server to take our orders as it seemed like they almost forgot us. ambiance: - this place seems to be remodeled with a lot of thought as it screams classy and modern! aka a great place to bring a date. service: - once we flagged down our waiter at the beginning they ensured we were well attended to throughout the meal with fast food service and timely water top-offs. food: [Worth It] - garlic fried tofu: perfectly seasoned and came out piping hot and crunchy! - beef short rib pho: generous portion served with an oversized beef rib. soup itself was perfectly seasoned and made for great leftovers the next day. - pho ap chao hai san (#42, crispy fried noodles with seafood): this was actually perfectly crunchy, chewy, and perfectly seasoned! we would probably come back solely for this lovely creation! [Good to Try Once] - bun bo hue: generous portions but it tasted bland and missed the mark on an authentic bowl. read more

Good service and delicious food. The short rib noodle soup and banh mi were all great. We will come back for lunches.

As the name implies this place serves dope pho . They are the same owner as Kakuna Sushi which is next door lol . Plenty of mall and parking when you come in . Staff is really nice and quick on service . They also have variety of boba tea drinks as you wait for your order. Food wise , the beef rib pho was my favorite . It was huge and fall off the bone tender . Pho was savory and umami . For Fremont , I give it a major thumbs up . Comparing this to South Bay with more Vietnamese -centric food . They still take the goal . Bun Bo Hue wasn't as spicy as I thought . The meat portions to noodle were good . Egg rolls were crunchy but a bit charred . Roasted quail with lemon pepper salt was crunchy . The salt does add the extra umami Dish we had : -Beef rib Pho -Bun Bo Hue -egg rolls -Roasted quail -Shaking beef with liver pate and eggs read more

I originally gave 2 stars because I got the wrong order and dissapointing because I waited 35 mins. I would recommend to have pictures of the rice plates on the menu. Because I got ordered the lemon grass plate I seen on yelp but when I ordered it, it was completely different. But thanks to the staff and owner for fixing my order. The flavor is still okay kind of bland. And again had to wait another 30 mins. Thats all :) read more

Another good pho spot in Fremont! I really enjoyed the short rib pho here. The beef rib was so nice and tender and had tons of meat. The broth was a bit sweeter than most places; I'm guessing they use more rock sugar. Not bad though. The Bun Bo Hue was pretty good too, but I wish it had a bit more flavor. All the meat in there was really good and cooked perfectly though. Also tried two apps: crispy garlic tofu and egg rolls. The eggrolls were piping hot and super crispy. So yummy I wish they gave more! Crispy garlic tofu was nice and savory with aromatics, but could be crispier. BBQ beef over rice was good and like any other place. They have a ton of tasty drink options too. The service was so sweet! This spot screams family owned! The owner even brought what looked like his son to greet us. So cute!! Also, I hear that they have a happy hour menu currently with items that are $13.95 when you come from 8-9:30 PM. Definitely gonna come back for that! read more

Dope Pho was more like alright pho in my opinion. While the Bo-Ne was good and sizzling, they were EXTRA skimpy with the pate. Speaking of skimpy- don't order the chicken wings. The wings were so skinny and small. Those chickens must have just hatched. I asked if the size is always that small and the server said yes. Yikes. The #14 combo pho was also overpriced. Small bowl for over $19. To me they were just another over hyped restaurant on IG. I don't usually believe foodie influencers, but this place was closer than the place I wanted to go. Overall...It wasn't terrible but it wasn't what I expected either. Would I come back? Nah. read more

Dope Pho - 4. Fried Chicken Wing The most shameful anorexic wings I've ever seen - Vietnamese Near Me - Fremont, California

Heard about this place on social media and came to realize that it was nearby. The ambiance is small and cozy and the service was very friendly. We ordered the Thai tea, bone in short rib pho, and shrimp spring rolls. Food came in less than FIVE minutes. Fastest I've seen food come out upon ordering especially since we ordered fresh noodles with our soup. However, the quality did not disappoint whatsoever. Starting off with the Thai Tea, it was quite pricey for the portion however it was a great drink to sip on. I saw they had a lot more unique drinks, so Thai Tea might not be their specialty. Although, the food was AMAZING. Shrimp spring rolls were quite big in portion and they gave a great amount of peanut sauce. Peanut sauce was delicious, dunked my spring rolls in and didn't feel bloated after. The pho however, was HUGE in portion for it being $17.95 especially with two huge short ribs. The noodles were extremely fresh. It's rare to see fresh noodles served in Pho places, however this place earns its first place in serving real fresh noodles (no up charge btw). Broth was so delicious and topped with many vegetables that infused even better with the soup. Short rib fell off the bone, was steaming hot, and tender. Ate it with the fresh noodles, hot sauce, and vegetables on top of it and felt like I was in heaven. Price was super affordable for the quality and quantity. This place has definitely earned a new customer. Dope pho certainly had dope pho. read more

We got seated almost immediately and were greeted by the staff. both of my besties ordered their beef ribs pho and I ordered Bún bò Huế. Our dish came pretty quick - 10 minutes or so. Portion size was quite generous and we all enjoyed our pho. We all agreed that this place is worthy for future visits. The place is not very big, parkings are easy to find and good service as well.

I came on a busy Sunday night around 11pm. Young man at the counter with glasses attended me and my boyfriend. He was very kind and helpful. He was very attentive to us regardless of the extremely busy atmosphere and the being the only one running the front area. Which includes dine in, take out, taking orders, running food, making drinks and whatever else was needed. I saw this man do so much in the time that I was waiting for my food. Including dealing with unruly teens trying to walk out on their bill and they had a large party. Cudos to this worker. The food is worth the price, pretty good late night eats. Viet coffee with their creams worth the price as well. Has a good banh mi and coffee meal deal. We come here quite often. read more

In comparison to the Vietnamese food I usually eat in San Jose, this place was ok. I came here for dinner on a weeknight and it wasn't too busy around 5:15pm. I ordered the shaking beef rice place since that is one of my go to dishes to get. The flavor wasn't quite like what I'm used to and it was alright. My friend had order the crispy garlic tofu and crispy fried noodles with seafood. She had asked for the sauce to come on the side but it didn't come out that way. I don't know if our server heard the request since she also had a hard time getting our order down in general. The tofu had no flavor when I tried a piece. There's plenty of parking in this plaza. Some of the tables were in direct sunlight, so I can see this being uncomfortable during the spring and summer months. We had grabbed a table behind the wall to avoid the sun. Overall, food and service was ok and I wouldn't have to come back here again to try other dishes. read more
