    This place might be my go-to pho spot! The broth is incredibly flavored. I think its packed with a lot more cardamom than other pho places, which I enjoy a lot. I got a large pho steak, brisket and tendon bowl and it was full of noodles and protein. The place is super chill, not packed on a weekday and the staff is nice as well

    This place is easy to miss when you're unfamiliar with the area. It's tucked in this tiny corner with a few other businesses that share a very small parking lot that doesn't look like there are enough spaces for everyone during lunch rush. I was fortunate to find one available parking spot because it was at the later end of lunchtime. The parking spots are a bit tight and there isn't much room to maneuver. The sign on the door says "no public restrooms". I always wonder if that means no restrooms for non-customers walking in , or whether that meant no restrooms at all even for paying customers. I found the inside of the restaurant to be dimly lit after walking through the front door. Maybe it is partly due to the sudden transition from sunny bright outdoors, but the it could definitely be more bright inside. There is some booth seating, some regular table seating, plus a long high top table. A TV is mounted near the front door showing video menu, cycling through different dishes There are also photos of menu items on the wall. I like visual menus like this as it helps me picture what I'm getting. I got the combination pho, my usual at most pho restaurants. The broth was good, not too oily. I thought they added a good amount of meat to the bowl, unlike some other places that skimp on this. I was eating the remaining noodles at the end of the bowl and still fishing out pieces of beef! Overall this was a positive experience and I would not hesitate to come back should I be in the neighborhood.

    Nothing to call home about Unfortunately given the competitive food scene in the bay, I cannot say that their particularly good or anything special. It gets the job done. Soup is plain, meat is plentiful albeit a bit tough, and veggies are reasonably fresh. Prices are not bad. They are a humble business trying to make it, which I can respect. Decent place to stopby for a quick lunch

    6. Pho Brisket & Tendon Bowl
    Beilin L.

    Pho Avenue has plenty of comfortable seating, quick service, and a nice atmosphere for a casual meal. I ordered the Pho Brisket & Tendon bowl and found the portions of meat and greens to be pretty generous compared to other casual pho restaurants. I'd highly recommend for a casual meal!

    This has quickly become my favorite Vietnamese place! Clean, great service, and most of all very good food. 1- Vegetarian spring rolls: excellent, great peanut sauce. 2- Lemongrass spicy chicken stir fry- so flavorful and satisfying. 3- Vegetarian pho: excellent, so fresh! Highly highly recommend this place if you're looking for delicious, fresh, wholesome Vietnamese food.

    It doesn't get better than this! Order like a pro: * A1. Egg rolls * 11. Pho combo (I replace meatballs and tripe with more brisket) +add poached egg * Soda chanh ‍ (I ask for less sugar) You know pho is good when you can eat it without adding any sauces! And music is very chill. Great spot for lunch.

    Still can't believe that a bowl of pho is so expensive now, but the portions are big here so it's decent value considering Bay Area prices. Nothing fancy, but their menu is decently expansive and it's a good option for pho if you're in the area. Food is good/fast and service is friendly. The restaurant always looks dark from the outside but it's quiet, clean and always has a decent selection of music playing. Located in a small corner strip. The parking lot is small and a bit cramped.

    Stop by this vietnamese pho restaurant on the way to the movie theater. It is a small restaurant with a couple of stores in the same complex. Parking is limited. Interior is like regular restaurant. We order pho combination and bun bun hue. The order was ready pretty quickly. The pho soup is yummy and still hot until the last scoop. It only has one piece of tendon and one piece of tripe. The steak is a bit overcooked. The bun bun hue is also yummy. It's not too spicy. They also have lemon grass sauce for dipping, and It is unique. They also have fresh chili paste. You pay at cashier.

    Delicious! Pho Avenue offers huge portion sizes of authentic dishes at a reasonable price. FOOD [5/5] ------------ + Thai Tea (5/5) Tastes very good! This has none of that weird aftertaste that is in some Thai teas-- Pho Avenue doesn't bombard their tea with a ton of ice either, you get what you pay for! + Bun Bo Hue (5/5) A little bit greasy but I enjoyed this a lot. It comes with chopped lettuce which I really liked! The soup is perfectly spicy and has lots of flavor, with very generous portions of noodle and meat. I only ordered a Regular and had enough to take home for a second meal! :) SERVICE [5/5] -------------- Service was very friendly and attentive. We got plenty of water and amenities.

    Pho Avenue is tucked in a quiet corner in Mountain View. There is very limited parking space and it looked really dark inside. I thought it was closed. Entering in, there is a pleasant selection of jazz music. As people where chatting amongst themselves, a server led us to a middle table where we got to see all of our surroundings. The menu had a good selection of food, and unlike some other pho restaurants my friend and I have gone to, we like the quiet scenery in the evening. One of the dishes I got was vegetarian pho. I think the dish was a little bit salty, but I was amazed to see how big the bowl is. The size was definitely rewarding. The tofu and veggies went well with the broth and I couldn't finish it myself. I think the server kind of woke me up because when she placed the bowls on the table, it sounded a bit of a slam and it shocked me a bit. The tables could be a bit cleaner. There was some spillage of the soup prior to sitting at the table. My friend had enjoyed the pho herself. The experience at this restaurant was intimate, and we like the chill environment this place brings.

Lovers Special Noodle Soup - I enjoyed the variety of different meats in this dish. It had sliced steak, beef balls, and oxtail which were all tender. However, the broth kind of lacked flavor. Shaken Beef Garlic Noodles - definitely a top favorite! They don't skimp out on the beef pieces which is a plus. The shaken beef is nice and tender and nicely seasoned along with the noodles and veggies. They even have extra sauce on the side to add if you like your noods extra saucy. Grilled Pork, Grilled Shrimp, Egg Rolls & Salad with Vermicilli - very fulfilling and I enjoyed the ratio of meats to noodles. The pork is tender and they gave a good mix of lean/fatty pieces which I enjoyed. Service is great and I have no complaints. There are a ton of tables/booths to sit at.
