    This pho hits the spot! The place has so many seating and I love the layout of the menu. Staff were welcoming and nice. I ordered the brisket pho and it was so good. The meat was tender and they are not stingy with the noodles. I think I found my new Pho spot near me.

    Vegetable pho with vegetable broth 29. Vegetable Pho
    Mary G.

    Pho #1 is on the rotation of handful of pho places from Mid-Peninsula to South Bay that my family enjoy, especially my elder Dad who loves his seafood pho and spring roll. Whenever errands take me to Sunnyvale, I will stop by to order to go or if dad is with me, dine in. During this visit, I ordered the vegetarian pho with vegetable broth. There was such umami flavor that I didn't miss having animal protein. They were not stingy with veggies, which were cooked tender crisp not mushy. I've enjoyed their chicken, beef & seafood phos too. Their broths are very comforting, especially on a cold, windy day. Always request an extra small bowl because portions are generous to share or enjoy an extra meal at home.

    Good pho! Service is really fast, no wait time and the food came out within 10 minutes. A good classic family restaurant will definitely come again!

    24. Beef Stew with Bread
    Tiffany T.

    Food: Beef stew: 4.7/5. This was very delicious. It was served at the perfect temperature, very rich with spices like star anise, and floating pieces of tender beef. It was on the sweeter side for a beef stew but nonetheless really yummy! The accompanying piece of bread was also toasted well. Service: Polite and quick! Overall: This place is pretty clean, with quick service. I'd recommend getting #24 beef stew with bread. Would come here again!

    2. Short Rib Pho
    Jonathan S.

    Came here for dinner. Got the short rib pho, filet mignon and tripe pho, and korean short ribs rice plate. Food was good. Pho was pretty standard. They only have one size but overall good quantity of meat and noodles. Service was good and standard. Nothing to complain about. Ambiance is very old school pho restaurant. I'd come again.

    10. Rare Steak, Well Done Flank and Tripe Pho
    Anh T.

    I came here with several friends during a holiday weekend; the restaurant was around 1/3 full. I was seated in an area where the tables and chairs were a bit too close to each other, but I enjoyed the beautiful scenic paintings of Vietnam around the restaurant. I ordered #10 - Rare Stake, Well Done Flank, and Tripe pho. The order came out in a timely manner along with its normal garnishes. There was a good proportion of noodles to meat, and the broth was delicious! The pho here was yummy for a cold winter day, and this manages to stay as one of my favorite spots of pho in Sunnyvale.

    56. Grilled Pork Slices Plate
    Cindy L.

    Cute spot, yummy food, and quick service! We got the com thit nuong (grilled pork slices plate) and the wonton soup with rice noodles. I asked for the wontons on the side so they could stay extra crispy!

    This has been my go to Pho place for years! Food is consistently good and flavorful. The place is always clean, plus the service is excellent and quick!

    Grilled short ribs, and combo 1 pho
    Sharky S.

    Amazing Service and Delicious Food! I had such a great experience at Pho #1 today! The food was fresh, flavorful, and comforting the pho broth was rich and aromatic, and the grilled beef with rice and salad was perfectly seasoned. The Thai tea was also super refreshing! Our server, Nhung, was absolutely wonderful friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. She checked in often, gave great menu recommendations, and made our meal feel really welcoming and enjoyable. Overall, this is easily one of the best Vietnamese spots in the area. Great food, great service, and a relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend stopping by and asking for Nhung!

    #2 Pho short rib - Added beef ball
    Chio S.

    Food was absolutely amazing! We came here after watching a YouTube review and honestly, it's become our new favorite spot. Totally worth the hype! We ordered the #2 pho -- the short rib pho -- and added beef balls. We also tried the chicken wings and a grilled pork banh mi. Every dish was flavorful and satisfying. At first, we were a little skeptical, trusting an influencer's recommendation, but this place did not disappoint. We'd 100% make the trip again -- and we already find ourselves craving it!

    Pho is so good has a great cinnamon taste I can eat it everyday if I wanted to service is super fast and friendly !

    Above average pho - strong flavor in the soup and a large portion of meat which was the highlight. Food came out in around 10 minutes with Hoisin & Sriracha sauces, basil, mint, cilantro, bean sprout, and lime. Service was on the slower side, just one server for the restaurant which wasn't too busy. Had to walk up to the counter to pay when we were done which I didn't mind. Restaurant has broad Vietnamese menu options (appetizers, banh mi, pho, soup, vermicelli bowls, rice plates), was relatively clean, and had nice artwork on the wall. I think the lighting brings down the mood a bit but overall a fine and calm place to eat! Price is $15-18 for main dishes plus tax and tip. Came out to around $21 per person w/o drinks

    This review is from my visit earlier last year. I'm just catching up on all my reviews now…read more We went when it was dinner time, and the place was packed. We waited for probably 15-20 minutes which wasn't too bad. The place is pretty big and fits a good amount of people. The food was great. Every single dish that we got was so good and packed with comfort and flavor. The veggies were well cooked, my favorite was the beef rolls. I would recommend checking this place out.

    This review is from March 2025, it just takes me awhile to write reviews…read more I have heard that they have since had a kitchen fire but are going to re-open some time this year. They have also opened a location in Cupertino that is more convenient for me. Adding Mian to this plaza definitely livened it up, it was so difficult finding parking and then there was an hour wait when we joined the waitlist. We wandered around Grocery Outlet and Savers to pass the time. I came with a group of 6 people. We ordered the sichuan spicy fries and fried chicken cutlet to share. The fries were the spiciest item I had that day, wow! I ordered the Sichuan chicken cold noodles, extra spicy. They were not spicy at all. I left everyone at the table try them and they all agreed it was not spicy. Kind of disappointing, I expected them to be spicier than the fries at least. My partner had the chengdu zajiang noodles, mild spicy. They were good, the signature dish of the restaurant. I would return, but their spice levels are very inconsistent.

I do recommend adding an egg, especially because the lamb chop was small. As a person who tries to get more protein in, the pieces of lamb are delicious but small.

The seaweed side was also great and egg soup was perfect! The only caution is the metal spoon is very hot so I burned my lips. Otherwise, very good.

    This is my second time at Home Eat, and it continues to be a great casual spot with delicious food…read more Service is efficient. You place your order through a QR code, which makes the process quick and easy. This visit, we ordered the salt and pepper chicken wings, Tidu Sliced Beef Pot, and Tianjin Eggplant. The wings are a must-order here. They're always perfectly fried and crispy on the outside while still staying juicy and tender inside. The Tidu Sliced Beef Pot reminded me of a dry hot pot. It had a great mala flavor with a subtle numbing sensation, and the peanuts added a nice crunch and texture to the dish. The Tianjin Eggplant was simple but delicious, with flavorful pork that paired really well with the soft eggplant. Overall, the food here is comforting and satisfying. It's a place I'll definitely keep coming back to.

I really loved the Mongolian beef, and the eggplant dish we got was good too. The chow mein was good. I did like the cucumber salad, but it would be better if it were sliced smaller, so the marinade could infuse the cucumbers. Service was friendly. Food was very fresh. I did notice the portion sizes were generous and we had plenty of leftovers!

    MALA TOWN SUPREMACY!!! My fave malatang place!…read more Been here three times, cost each time: $20, $30, & $27. On average, you'll spend $25~ after selecting your ingredients. I loveeeee getting the tom yum here, & I don't think other malatang places offer tom yum. In general, the tom yum flavor is fire. i would say the amount of chili oil they add is inconsistent. there's times i've gotten alot of oil and times with less. my partner also found the beef bone broth was too oily for his liking and thought tom yum was way better. The tom yum has a nice tang from the lemon and theres slight creaminess to the broth. my friend thinks they add peanut sauce to the broth. it is also not too spicy, which is nice. I dont live near this place but it is worth the drive! I like the wide variety of ingredients and the chewy potato noodles.

We have visited this location twice now. Ordered different items both times, but the consistency feels a bit off in terms of the spiciness. We also had a nice drink the first time that we didn't get the second time. And I do wish there was a bit more at the sauce bar-it felt limited and bare. The broth are fairly good, but your options are pretty much just non-spicy, little spicy, and burn your mouth off. The space inside the restaurant can be quite crowded. As in elbow to elbow seating. The service are friendly and nice. I'd come back, but would also be very open to trying other options.
