    Spring rolls- shrimp and pork (didn't see any pork in our order tho)
    Krysten H.

    Pho is our go to rainy day food! Wanted to try a new place around our house and this place did not disappoint. Cute interior, great service and food comes out fast and hot. Came on a Saturday around 6 pm on a rainy night, ample parking and many tables available. This parking lot also has a Tesla charger so you can charge while you eat, always a plus! Will be back to try their ox tail pho!

    A. Egg Rolls (3) - Chả Giò
    Lon H.

    Wifey and I wanted to try a new Vietnamese place so I decided to try this place. We have visited this place twice so it's time for a review. Since it's a pho place, I had to start with their pho - got myself a combination pho. Meats were good and the soup tasted great. My wife had their Bun Bo Hue. Not the best she's had, but she thought it was good enough. The spring rolls were big and we got extra sauce since I was consuming it like it was free lol. The fried rice flour cake was a surprise. Not sure why that caught my wife's attention, but she ordered it and we liked it. I was in a mood for dessert so got myself a Che Thai and it was good. Not as good as Bambu, but hit the spot. I was satisfied. The second time we visited, I had the rice plate with pork chop, shrimp and egg cake. Pretty darn good as I gobbled up everything in sight. We ordered egg rolls and they were beautifully presented. My wife had their short ribs pho and she said it was above average. This place is not cheap compared to other pho places, but the portion is bigger and quality is better than most pho places. I guess that justifies for the higher prices. We will definitely go back! I want to try more items on their menu

    I thought it was just okay. I was pretty excited to try this place and it was underwhelming for me. Service was a little slow despite not that many customers dining. Ordered the spring rolls, chicken wings, and short rib pho both large and regular. I love a good pho spot and this wasn't it. Spring rolls were stuffed with shrimp, sliced pork and green lettuce. This was probably the best thing I had there. The chicken wings were over fried and hard to eat. The pho was missing the depth in the broth. It was missing a lot of flavor and felt basic. They added brisket in the rib bowl because there's hardly any meat on the bone. I needed more flavor on the boring broth.

    Stopped by after a day of outlet shopping and this Viet restaurant really hit the spot! Service is friendly and efficient, servings are good sized, prices are decent, oh, and the food is great! The egg rolls were awesome! The pics actually don't do it justice- this is a must try!

    1. House Combination Pho (Large) - Phở Đặc Biệt Xe Lửa
    Richard H.

    Located across the street from the San Francisco Premium outlets, this is an excellent Vietnamese restaurant! Try their menu item #1 House special Pho large: beef, tendon, brisket, tripe, and meatballs in a savory beef broth and thin rice vermicelli noodles. I also recommend their 3 piece egg rolls, with sweet chili sauce. Loved their Vietnamese iced coffee, which was strong but sweet. Lastly, I loved their Thai iced drink with jack fruit!

    After hours of shipping, it was nice to go across the street and have some Vietnamese food. We would patronize the former pho place at this spot but this one is better. Plus, the decor is nice. The food was tasty. We had chicken wings, short rib with rice (this did not come with soup broth) and beef pho. It took a bit for us to get our Thai ice tea so we ended up asking to put in a to go cup. We would come back again.

    After a marathon day of shopping at the outlets, my pho cravings kicked in hard -- and this spot totally hit the mark! We came here because of the rave Yelp reviews, and wow... they weren't lying. The food was great! The dining area is spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated -- definitely gives off cozy-but-classy vibes. Service? Chef's kiss! Everyone was so friendly, upbeat, and genuinely made the experience 10x better. We ordered the bun bo hue, fried egg rolls, and a side of tomato fried rice. Everything was flavorful and satisfying -- broth had great taste and was comforting, and the egg rolls were perfectly crispy. The only miss for me was the rice; it didn't taste super fresh and had that slightly hard, sticky texture. Other than that, we left with empty plates and happy hearts. Already planning my next visit to explore more of the menu!

    14) Bún Riêu - Crab & Tomato Vermicelli Soup
    Jillian Maree B.

    First time trying Bun Rieu and it was delicious! It's more on the fishy side of course, but it's just what I wanted! Very flavorful and the smallest size is pretty big! (Portions are pretty big). They also have vegetarian options and other appetizers in the menu!

    We were at the outlet and decided to stop by after a craving for pho came. They're located in the plaza directly next to the outlet. The first thing I noticed when coming in was how HUGE this restaurant was. Tons of parking available and it wasn't too busy during the Sunday evening we visited. I wasn't the biiiggest fan of the food; though, I'm probably spoiled by the pho spots that I go to in the South Bay lol. I felt like the broth was lacking, the meat quality was okay. I also tried their com tam / rice plate dishes, and I felt like the size of it did not justify the price. Nothing really wow'd me; overall, it wasn't something I'd go out of my way for, but it's location is definitely prime (and they have tons of variety on the menu, too).

    Stopped here for a quick lunch . I had the Cornish game hen . It was seasoned well . Nice portion . I had leftovers . Restaurant is clean abs decorated nicely . Different . Service was fine.

    The food here is freakin good!! Great ambience, great service. They really went above and beyond honestly. I highly recommend this place. Way better than the other restaurants nearby.

    Rach S.

    Found this restaurant on Yelp on our way home from San Jose. The restaurant was nice and clean. Service was good. My daughter and I ordered their combination pho and spring rolls. The pho broth wasn't as hot as I liked. And the spring rolls presentation was cute but it was just ok. I didn't like it with the green onion inside.

    34. Ha Noi Style Charbroiled Pork Vermicelli - Bun Cha Ha Noi
    Rich B.

    Before diving into some retail therapy, we stopped for lunch--and Pho Ao Sen absolutely hit the spot. Located in a large strip mall directly across from the outlets, the restaurant offers plenty of parking and a spacious dining area, making it great for groups, casual dates, or even something a bit more romantic. The décor is tasteful and inviting without being overdone. Food: 5 Stars The food was the real standout here. We had: #34. Ha Noi Style Charbroiled Pork Vermicelli - BunCha Ha Noi - Marinated, charbroiled pork and pork paste soaked in a light fish vinaigrette, served with rice vermicelli, lettuce, perilla, and mint. #21. House Special Combo Rice Plate - Com Dac Biet A loaded plate with marinated charbroiled pork, tiger shrimp, pork chop, shredded pork skin, baked egg cake, and a (missing) fried egg. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. The meats were tender, the fried items perfectly crispy, and the portion sizes were generous. Just excellent, authentic Vietnamese flavors. Unfortunately, the service didn't match the quality of the food. We only saw our server once (when we ordered), and they never checked in to see if we needed anything. My food arrived without silverware--which was tricky since I had pork and the pieces were too large for chopsticks. I had requested a fried egg that never arrived, despite being told it would. We still tipped and chalked this up to an oversight. This could have easily been a 5-star experience with just a little more attention and care from the staff. Still, I'd absolutely eat here again. It's local, the food is fantastic, and I'd much rather support this spot than a big-box chain. A little extra TLC in the service would take this place from great to exceptional.

    Great food and service! The Thai iced tea was very refreshing and the brisket pho was tender and flavorful!

Bitter Melon Chicken - 5 - Bitter Melon can be soaked in water to remove some of the bitterness before cooking. Then you want to cook it so it's no longer crunchy but not so much that it's mushy. Sai's always does a great job with it when it's in season. Oyster Pancakes - 4 - A slight downgrade because of the size of the oysters. Maybe I'm simply greedy but I want more! On the other hand, the egg was well seasoned, tasty and not overcooked. Sesame Balls - 5 - These were fried a little darker than usual but that just makes the sesame flavor pop!

The Princess and the Pea walked so we could run because there are a handful of comfortable seating arrangements. The interior leans more modern while still paying homage to traditional Vietnamese decor. Pho is great and all, but the Three Little Bears have found a new dish that's neither too hot nor too cold -- Bo Ne. Bo Ne is one of my favorite Vietnamese dishes, and it's hard to find places that serve it. Even fewer places do it just right, making me feel like Goldilocks. I love the banh mi that comes with the Bo Ne because it has a thin, crunchy, flaky crust with a fluffy, soft inside that absorbs the sauce perfectly. The steak was tender and paired perfectly with the pâté, giving you that satisfying flavor that constantly has you reaching for more. Once you place your order, the food comes out super fast. No Big Bad Wolf here to blow your wallet down because the prices are affordable and the portions are large. Huff and puff as hard as you can, but this place is here to stay.
