    Was too excited for pho i felt adventurous and went off script and ordered the oxtail pho which i never do. Usually always just steak. The pho broth was good, interior roomy but seats are very close with holes in the dividers where u sit in the booth and can hear everyone's conversations. Felt a bit loud. The oxtail meat was not the best, small and not alot of meat and not very soft so hard to eat. Still had some good pieces but i would just get steak next time. Partner had chicken pho and didnt complain about it. Overall good pho spot i think. They had tv's for fifa matcha.

    One of the best pho places in Livermore. Nestled across the street from the Livermore Outlets, this Vietnamese restaurant has great ambience with high ceilings, food, drinks, service. Plenty of free open parking, clean restrooms and AC. Definitely check out this place after or before your shopping at the outlets!

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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 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!

    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).

    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!

    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.

    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.

I got the spicy beef…read morenoodle soup - I've gotten this dish at other places before that also market it as being spicy but it never is. At CA Noodle, you get what you ask for - you can see the rich, red chili flakes and oil floating in the broth which adds a nice kick and great flavor to the freshly made noodles. I just wish there were more chunks of beef that were included - the dish is very carb heavy. We also shared a plate of the pig ear appetizer which is soaked in a rich chili oil. If you like more of the chewy/cartilaginous type of texture, which I do, this dish is absolutely amazing. Overall, would recommend this spot if you're looking for a comfort meal.

Seeing CA Noodle show up on our yelp search and it was nearby, we decided to check it out. The location is pretty convenient, located in a plaza that shares parking spaces with several other restaurants and a McDonald's. The inside only seats about 10-14 parties of 2-4, so a pretty small restaurant. They had 2 waiters staffing the entire restaurant, but the menu and ordering system is all done through a POS via QR code. The menu was quite large, offering no many choices like pot stickers, noodle soups, chow mein, and little appetizers like pig ears. We ended up ordering the pig ears, pot stickers, pork pan fried bun, and 2 noodle soups. The good: pig ears. The pig ears were cut in various sizes and the flavor was spicy. Definitely to our liking! The neutral: the pork hamburger item and pot stickers. While the bun was tasty and crispy, the mean in between was a bit dry and the taste was a bit mild and less salty. We made it better by adding pig ears with every bite lol. The pot stickers were fine but it didn't really give a crispy bottom taste and more of dry pan sear. It definitely needed sauce as the filling was a bit mild too (very consistent mild tastings after the pig ears. The bad: the soup dishes that we ordered were definitely needing a flavor bomb. While the noodles we ordered were great and had a ton of chew and the protein in the dish was plenty; the soup lacked in taste. My girlfriend had to ask for additional salt to add to taste and it made it so much better. I ate mine as intended and I wasn't as satisfied as compared to if I were to eat at ox9 or muragame. Overall, I thought our meal was about a 3.5. While we enjoyed watching the World Cup while eating our food, the taste of our food was much more desired and it didn't scratch our itch for a rich soup. Unfortunately, many of the other patrons seemed to catch on and order the chow mein instead. If we come back, it's probably what we would order next. Until next time!
