When in east bay it's quite difficult to find viet food, and it's even harder to find one as charming and authentic as this one! I'd say what makes them stand out is their grilled pork. We tried out several of their pork dishes. The vermicelli, the banh mi and spring rolls and they were all awesome. you won't find quality like this even if you visit south bay. i also tried the fried rice which i'm less impressed by but i'm just not a fan of the mayo flavor i tasted. outside the quality of the food i appreciated the kind and prompt service of the workers here. the energy in the room was great as well. a little viet oasis in the heart of east bay will definitely be returning! read more

Absolutely love. We needed a new pho place nearby, and glad we walked in here. The place is clean, tidy, and welcoming. Plenty of seating and even outdoor seating for the nicer days. They offer lunch deals and dinner deals- a lot of pho places don't!! Although we opted for other things; I can't wait to try more and more items on their menu. Seafood egg noodle 5/5 - clean broth and generous on REAL seafood (real crab! Calamari! Shrimp!) Combo pho 5/5 - larger meatballs and tons of flavor Kids chicken nuggets and fries 5/5 - tbh my son wanted French fries and we wanted pho - look at this WIN WIN situation for us! He loved it! Egg rolls 5/5 - flavorful and very crispy! Avocado smoothie w boba 4/5 I just like my avo smoothies on the sweeter side but that's definitely my opinion!! Thai tea w boba 5/5 The broths were HOT. We noticed it immediately and appreciated it sooo much! Everything was cooked right. Noodles were the perfect texture for both soups. The staff and owners are incredibly nice. You will find us here often read more

The folks are super friendly. They gave us lots of attention. Very polite. The restaurant is nice and clean. The menu is clear and I love that it has photos. I like that they have lunch combos. They have a vegetarian section and a kids menu. And they also have boba. I ordered: Tofu Spring Roll - 2 giant rolls with fried tofu and a hint of pickled veggies. Delish with their peanut sauce. Grilled Pork Banh Mi - the pork has a nice grilled flavor. Easy to bite into. Crisp yet chewy bread. Great sandwich. I need to come back when I can sit down and try the pho, bun and rice plates. read more

Our first time here and it was delicious! The space is clean and ample seating for a few groups, the staff is very nice and friendly, quick to bring water and menus over and the food was ready within minutes! I got the chic pho & my boyfriend got the short rib plate with garlic noodles as substitute for rice as well as the rocket crispy shrimp. All 10/10 fresh & piping hot!

Excellent Vietnamese food! It's been years since I've had such a good vermicelli chicken bowl. For drinks, the thai tea and okinawa are great options. I liked the food (and service) so much we went back twice in two weeks! The owner Troy is a really fun guy. He's very welcoming and makes a memorable experience for guests. Highly recommend dining in, however lots of people order food to-go which is a popular option. read more

Vietnamese food catered to white American taste buds. Service was friendly and efficient. Casual joint - clean and modern. Had their Chef Special Oysters - it's Asian flavored baked oysters with crunchy onions and mint seafood sauce. Their Dragonfruit lemongrass drink was good and so was the house vermicelli with chicken, egg rolls and grilled shrimp. We will partake again should we be in the area. read more

The service is great. The food is good with good portions. Nice place to have lunch at or a nice dinner. Owner is wonderful.

Their pho was delicious! The gentleman there was so friendly too. Daughter and I shared the special combo pho - P1 and we ordered pot stickers. Plenty of seating too. So happy to find a good pho restaurant in Livermore. read more

Not sure how niche this situation is, but it's a great stop if you're driving between NorCal and SoCal. Friendly staff, plenty of seating, and usually not very crowded. I got the bun, which had a good balance of ingredients and was satisfying. Service was genuinely good and made the stop even better. Service: Friendly and attentive Food/Drinks: Bun had a good ratio of ingredients and tasted solid Ambiance: Spacious, quiet, and convenient for a road trip stop 7/10 A comfortable and reliable stop with good service and easy seating read more

Five stars! The supercharger brought me to this place and I had about four food options to choose from including grabbing a quick Starbucks. Thank God I went with this choice! I was craving something light, but feeling. I ordered the bahn mi sandwich with a fresh spring rolls and a mango smoothie. The mango smoothie was a bit icy, but the Boba was very good not hard at all. All the vegetables in my sandwich and fresh spring rolls were fresh and crisp! Thank you so much outstanding customer service and outstanding food. I don't even live in the area, but I will definitely be returning! read more

Good lunch spot. Whenever I am craving some pho during work, I usually come here. Food here is consistently good and the service here is wonderful. Their springs rolls are always fresh and good in portion. The chicken pho is not bad but sometimes the chicken may taste a little try. Standard beef pho is good. Sometimes the restaurant does get a little hot during the summer. Not much complaints and will come back here as a regular. read more

Not good. No flavor. Not Authentic Vietnamese Pho! Not coming back, thanks but no thanks!

Finally tried ovaians one of the shops in the vasco center i hadn't tried yet. My son and I went to lunch, been wanting to try this place because they have a sizzling steak platter similar to the one I used to have at a great viet Cafe in San jose and sorry to say it didn't live up to my expectations oddly enough it lacked flavor which is hard to do with viet food, my son had the chicken and rice and said it was great which is why I gave them 4 stars instead of 3. All that being said another nice local seems to b family owned business livermore is lucky that way read more

OvAsians - Sizzling steak platter. - Vietnamese Near Me - Livermore, California

I ordered seafood and beef pho. The soup is too salty according to my wife and daughter. I also ordered tofu Banh mi sandwich. I never had an unappetizing Vietnamese sandwich. It was too dry and the bread is hard. I usually enjoy eating it but not this time. Sorry for the honest review but people needs to know. read more

The pho here is excellent and great. My kids always do take out and the staff is so friendly

A group of 12 of my co-workers descended upon OvAsians last week and the staff handled it like pros! Our food came out quickly and everyone was happy with their selection. I ordered the shrimp summer rolls and they were tasty, healthy and filling. Also, the service was very friendly. I'm sure we'll be back. Stay prepared! read more

We had a family group of 12+ people for dinner last night, and I can honestly say the experience was outstanding. The staff was incredible--friendly, attentive, and constantly checking on our table. Everyone was joking with us and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. For a group our size, I was amazed by the level of service. Empty plates disappeared almost immediately, drinks were always refilled, and we never felt forgotten. The food was excellent. Every meal came out hot, fresh, and surprisingly fast considering how large our party was. Not a single person in our group had a complaint. The appetizers were fantastic, and every dish looked and tasted great. I'm pretty sure we put a dent in their beer inventory, yet the service never slowed down. That's a testament to how well the staff works together. If you're planning a birthday party, graduation celebration, family gathering, or any event with a large group, this is the place to go. Great food, exceptional service, and an all-around fantastic experience. Highly recommended! read more

The food is phenomenal. I live in Brentwood but when I'm anywhere near this restaurant I make sure to stop by. The food is fresh, authentic, flavorful and simply excellent. I'm at home thinking about what to do today and I have Ovations on my mind. Highly recommend. My local Vietnamese places are ok but just don't compare. read more

First time here..it's a nice place even though it's small but it's clean and well organized. Servers are very friendly and attentive .

I've been coming more often with the colder weather amongst us. There is a new menu that is literally a book of professionally photographed pictures of the menu items. My new favorite is the grilled beef pho where ththe soup comes out piping hot, the pho perfectly al dente, and the plate of grilled beef on a separate dish. Another perk, if you pay with CASH, you get 10% off read more

There's a few things I miss from the old ownership, but there's a lot to love, including new foods! This place has top notch salt and pepper wings and pork egg rolls. They are SO good I keep coming back and ordering them! I also love that you can now sub garlic rice or garlic noodles for any rice dish. It may not be authentic, but when you're REALLY hungry, the grilled pork with egg rolls and garlic noodles are INCREDIBLE. I miss the upscale atmosphere and classy dishes of the old OvAsians. I miss having a quiet lemongrass sea bass plate at lunch while my husband got the yellow curry -- the space always felt very refined. It doesn't so much anymore, the food is a little heavier, a little oilier and more garlicky, and they've dropped those dishes and a few others. BUT the trade off was garlic noodles, better egg rolls, more filling and in some cases more flavorful dishes. They now have more American items on the kids menu. The service is still outstanding and the to-go orders are probably even faster. And I can't recommend the new egg noodles soups enough. Especially the Chinese dish wonton noodle soup, with the Vietnamese flavors. read more

I was not able to get photos because I was so excited to eat. I was greeted and sat very quickly, I went on a less busy afternoon. I was taken care of very well, they made sure my water was always full and that I was always enjoying my meal. I got a build your own pho, and I will say the broth is so rich and delicious. It has so much body that you can tell how much care is put into making the broth. I also got egg rolls, they have the traditional fish sauce but also the sweet and sour dipping sauce. They were fried to perfection. Everything came out fresh and very warm. The restaurant is very clean, the staff is wonderful and attentive, and the food is wonderful. read more

Left month my husband ordered the beef vermicelli plate (as well as others for our family, but I'll tell you about the food from my POV). Delicious! So I ordered again yesterday and today, this time a rice plate for work. With egg rolls. So effing good! The meat they use is ribeye and it was cooked perfectly. So juicy. Ordering on the phone is perfect as long as you have the menu in front of you. They answered any questions you have perfectly. Also ordered the avocado smoothie yesterday and man, this reminds me of the Vietnamese restaurants I used to frequent in San Jose. I'm so glad they're close by. I don't have to drive so far! Will update once it gets cold. I'd like to try their pho! read more

** Vegetarian Review ** Wanted something soupy and found this place on Yelp! It had great reviews and I saw they had some vegetarian options so I decided to try it. Ordered the vegetarian pho via phone and it was ready quite quickly! I ordered a small but when I received it, it looked rather large. The broth was delicious and flavorful and the entire dish was well put together and tasted yummy! I ate the whole thing, slurping my way through as well! The people in the restaurant (guy at the register and lady who handed me my food) were friendly and the lady was also considerate as she also packed in some sauce packets, napkins, chopsticks, spoon, and fork! How nice! The inside looked cozy so maybe next time I'll just eat in! read more

Great service and great food. Only 2 ladies working and they were nice and attentive. After ordering my appetizer first, Fried Egg Rolls, she came back and took my entree order. Both came out to my table at the same time. That was quick for my entree. The egg rolls were hot and delicious. The pickled carrots were a great touch to add flavor with the sauce. The shaking beef, was tender and easy to chew. The mushrooms were flavorful, wasn't too big a fan of the onions. I also got the, Iced Coffee Float. Warning.. the coffee is strong, but the drink had the right amount of sweetness thanks to the foam. The ambiance was nothing special. 2 TVs and their bar where they made all their boba and coffee drinks was visible from any table. This was my 2nd time. I will be back. read more

Love the Vietnamese coffee here! It is super strong! So strong i only could have a small sip of it and the rest was for my bf because coffee makes me jittery! As for the pho there wasn't much options but i thought it tasted okay. They bring out individual toppings and siracha/hoisin for you which i thought was cute! They also have nuoc beo upon request ($1 or $2 extra I forgot)! It was a generous amount that made the broth extra flavorful! I would come back and try other dishes on the menu since pho is only a small part of the menu! (: read more

I thought the reviews for this place were overstated but it's actually pretty good here. I ordered the papaya salad, egg rolls, grilled pork bowl and pho. Everything came out hot and delicious. The papaya salad was a huge portion itself; which was very very good. The pho had a nice delicate broth. My only drawback was the grilled pork vermicelli bowl. I thought the portions were shy of what it should be. Otherwise we would come back and try other items on their menu again. read more
