    Surprise meal here. We actually didn't know this was here and was supposed to go somewhere else but I am glad we did. Plenty of parking spaces but this place is not as busy as other Pho places but that's too bad. No real service but they will assist. You order from a kiosk. Small place. Good fried egg rolls, good and strong Vietnamese iced coffee. Pho Ga Tom chicken and pork broth with chicken and shrimp were very good flavors. I would definitely get this again. The Pho beef noodle soup was ok but I like what I got better. Also, ordered their strawberry smoothie but it's more of a very sweet blended drink. I wish it had milk. Won't get that again. Will come back again. [9R,2026]

    **Overall: 3.5 stars ** Pho the perfect food to eat when it's cold out! Hot Pho's price point is right, and the flavor is as expected. I could have had the broth a little hotter, but other than that, everything was spot on: the portion for "medium" was good, tables were clean, food came out in a timely manner, utensils were self-serve. The staff were welcoming. The only downside was there was a problem checking out, so we had to wait til the cash register was fixed before we could leave. This may not have taken as long as it felt but it felt like it was longer than it took to eat! If they can fix these technical kinks, I'd love to return and give it a higher rating.

    Solid spot for Vietnamese food in Dublin. My friend and I were looking for a quick dinner spot and this was perfect! We stopped by Saturday evening around 7:30 pm and it wasn't busy at all. The menu is pretty standard with a variety of Vietnamese dishes like pho, other noodle soups, rice and vermicelli plates, and a large selection of non-alcoholic drinks. For all the noodle soups, I appreciated you can choose the size, either a small, medium, or large bowl. I went with #24 - the hu tieu rice noodle soup, which was $12.25 for a small bowl. I liked everything about the noodle soup except for the boiled chicken breast pieces, which I found incredibly dry and flavorless. I ate maybe two pieces before I gave up, but unfortunately they put a lot of chicken in the soup... I ordered the hu tieu because I wanted fish cake and shrimp, but I wouldn't get this again. My friend got #50 - the grilled chicken with vermicelli ($14.95) and really enjoyed it. I ate a couple pieces of his chicken since my own chicken was so disappointing, and it was so good! Very juicy and flavorful. We were in and out of here in a little under 30 minutes, which was perfect for us as we were trying to make it to some stores afterwards before they closed.

    Spring Rolls with Shrimp & Pork

    Came in for lunch on a Friday afternoon about 1pm, got sat when I walked in. Fresh Spring Rolls with Shrimp & Pork, the pork had a gamey taste. Pho Noodle Soup with Rare Steak & Beef Meatballs, the broth was blend. Had to add lots of hoisin sauce. Service was lacking a little with about 3 to 4 tables.

    Menu as of October 2024

    We were at the Livermore outlet area and wanted for a quick lunch spot. This is located in a plaza with parking. Staff were friendly and service was quick. Our food came out fairly quickly. Ordered #2 Dac Biet Large ($15.25). It came out piping hot. Broth was good and it comes with a decent amount of meat but lacking in the pho noodles. The noodles were a bit overcooked and it had an interesting taste that I can't describe.

    I'm in the area shopping and wanted some Pho. We drove past this restaurant a few times in the past but haven't had the chance to stop by. We decided to give this place a try. It's a small and quaint place, the staff were super friendly. This is a legit Vietnamese cuisine spot, the egg rolls are on point and the broth was decent. The only reason I didn't give it more stars is because the broth was skimpy. The broth was just enough to cover the noodles, so my garnishes didn't even cook through and I had a lot of fatty meat. I would definitely come back when I'm in the area but I'll probably try something else on the menu. The egg rolls is a must, give it a try!

    Wanted to give this place a try. Inside was clean and neat. Staffs were professional. The shrimp cake was excellent. The pho had way too few pieces of beef in it in my opinion. But, overall a good experience.

    Com Suon Bi
    Michele L.

    Hot Pho was the place my friend and I landed on after looking for a new restaurant (for us) to try that's also kid-friendly (or food her kids' would approve of). I would give this place a solid 3.5. I'd say it's pretty solid for Dublin that seems to lack a bit of variety, cuisine wise. Our party arrived around 6PM and thankfully, Hot Pho was located in a plaza, so no need to worry about parking. We shared their Fried Fish Cake appetizer and each of us ordered our own meal. For myself, I opted to try their Com Suon Bi (#32 Grilled Pork Chop & Shredded Skin w/ Rice). Our appetizer came fairly quickly and it turned out pretty good! Their fish cakes are pretty decent sized slices and they gave a fair amount. It's crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. The kids seem to absolutely love this dish. As for the mains, the rice plates were kinda massive (or maybe it's the plate they used that's massive). They included a small side of plain veggies like usual. What kind of surprised me was how nicely cooked their rice was. Like each grain of rice looked like individual grains of rice and not clumpy. My favorite part of the dish would have to be the shredded pork skin though. There's a bit of pork mixed into it, but overall the pork skin is slightly chewy and gelatinous. It's almost like noodles that were just cooked and laid out to dry a little, but without the soup, haha, and it was not clumpy. Even my friend's kids seemed to enjoy it! Last but not least, on my plate - the pork chop. Initially, I thought my plate came with two pieces, but it was actually a giant, thin slab of pork, bones and all. It was full of flavor. I think the pork is a little dry because it's thin, but the sauce or marinade helps a lot! I also enjoyed my side of comforting soup. All in all, we enjoyed our meal here. A bit mediocre overall, but pretty solid for Dublin in my opinion. Service was okay. Friendly, but lacking interaction other than taking our order, serving food, and giving us our check.

    Not necessarily grilled pork
    Juicke C.

    It's a warm Friday afternoon, popular restaurants nearby have queues out their doors. Whereas, this place has plenty of table, no waiting needed. It was also a place I haven't visited in the past. Not necessary a recipe for selecting a place for lunch. Friendly person greeting me and led me to a table. Recently had pho, so I narrowed my choice on the vermicelli bowl with grilled pork and fried spring roll. This dish comes with a bowl of broth along with fish sauce. It didn't take long for the food. The broth was alright, though not memorable, sorry to say. I want to preference this review that I wanted to like this place but found many things that I couldn't overlook. The grilled pork didn't appear to be grilled as it wasn't grill charred or texture just didn't have grilled consistency; and the noodles weren't vermicelli. Despite the food discrepancies, the service was friendly and cordial, my order was promptly taken, water glass refilled and check brought to my table at the appropriate time. Since it's named Hot Pho, I should have stuck to pho. Perhaps next time..

    Pork and shrimp spring roll
    Eva L.

    Average pho spot in the Dublin area. Parking: shared parking lot with other businesses but plenty of spots. Ambiance: simple and clean interior. A solid spot to enjoy pho with family. Service: above average. We were seated immediately and served waters. Order to food arrival time was short. The restaurant was adequately staffed and everyone was friendly. Food: average. (3/5). I ordered the seafood pho and the broth was a bit salty. I ended up driving a few glasses of water after I got home. We also ordered the pork and shrimp spring roll and my husband got the combination beef pho. He liked his selection but the peanut sauce that came with the spring roll seemed a bit different than what we are used to, color was a much darker brown and the taste was off. Portion size was reasonable relative to the cost of each dish. I don't think we will make a return trip in the future as we don't live around the area and the food didn't really wow us.

    Christy T.

    Service was quick Staff was very friendly. Ambiance was casual yet upscale for a pho place. Food was delicious. Ordered the Grilled Beef rice place, it was delicious, the beef was tender and the egg roll was crispy. Grilled Pork Chop rice plate was good too. Especially liked the shrimp roll. Will come again.

    Hot Pho isn't too bad! It's located in a big plaza so you could walk around before and after eating. It's also small inside, but not cramped. I came here to catch up with some friends and we all got pho. I found the service here to be fast and efficient. The food came out quickly after we ordered, but I did feel rushed when looking at the menu. I was trying to decide between the different meats in each pho dish they offered, but the waitress kept coming over to ask if we were ready. As for the pho itself, I thought it was good and the broth was SO clear but I thought it lacked that strong, comforting pho flavor you normally get in a bowl of pho. They gave a normal amount of meat with my bowl. I got a medium sized bowl but my friend got a small, which looked so tiny for the price. All in all, not a bad spot for pho but I have other personal favorite pho restaurants I'd rather go to.

    We came back to this place because we were craving Hainanese Chicken Rice and Laksa Noodle Soup…read more These were the three dishes we ordered: First was the K1 Special Laksa Fish Noodle Soup, $16.50, or 招牌叻沙魚綫面 (叻沙湯). I had tried this dish before and enjoyed it, but I didn't remember the broth being so light. I thought the dish would've benefited from a thicker and creamier broth. I think adding some coconut cream to increase the creaminess would've made it better, imho. That said, the real highlight of this dish was still the fish noodles. They were these long, tube shaped pieces of fish cake that acted like noodles, and they were delicious and felt high in protein. The bowl also came with a good amount of toppings. I especially loved their beef balls because they were so firm and almost crunchy when I bit into them. There was also shrimp, Napa Cabbage, and other toppings that made the bowl feel hearty. My mom got the K8 Slice Beef Laksa Fish Noodle Soup, $16.95, or 肥牛叻沙魚綫面 (叻沙湯). This was very similar to the K1, but the main difference was that it came with thinly sliced beef on top. The beef looked really good, and honestly, I kind of wished I had ordered this one because I like to try something new. It also came with the same delicious fish noodles, so this is probably what I'll try next time. The last dish was the K9 Signature Hainan Chicken Over Rice, $15.50, or 招牌海南鷄飯. My only gripe with this dish was the same as last time. The chicken was chopped right through the middle of the bone, so there were little bone shards mixed in with the meat, which I hate. I really didn't enjoy having to worry about biting into one while eating. Aside from that though, I thought the presentation was much better this time around. It also seemed like they gave us a little more chicken, and the meat was incredibly juicy and succulent. I especially loved how the skin was glistening with the oil. I also loved the whole presentation of the plate, which came with the Chicken and Rice, some kind of Cucumber Salad, Quail Eggs, and a small bowl of Broth on the side.

Overall, I really enjoyed the food here. The chicken rice was aromatic, flavorful and had a really nice texture to it. The chicken is tender and the thin outer skin has a gelatinous quality to it like a well-prepared Hainanese chicken. Honestly I had no notes on this dish. Hard to improve. I generally avoid roast duck at restaurants because of how fatty it is, but the one here was surprisingly good. While there were a few pieces with a thick section of fat between the skin and the meat, the majority of the pieces had a nice balance. There's a sweet tangy sauce that's included on the side with the duck that I really enjoyed as well. If you're looking for lean duck, you'll probably want to stick with the Chiu Chow marinated duck. Service is pretty minimal here, but our waitress stopped by our table once to refill our waters and to check on how we liked the food. Overall, 4.5 stars rounding up to a 5.
