    It was a cold evening here in Chico so was craving for Pho. Came across this unassuming Pho place and I was pleasantly surprised how good their Pho is. They have limited menu but it seems like it's intentional as they want to just offer Pho. I got the #10 on the menu and I was blown away. The broth was so delicious and meat portion was quite a bit. I love that the tendon was seasoned and very tender. No wonder that 5 mins after I arrived, the place got packed before 6 pm and they also have a lot of take out orders. This is a must place to visit if you're visiting Chico and wants an amazing bowl of Pho!!!

    This place is nice and cheap if you're looking for a good hearty meal. The service was so nice even when I accidentally ordered spring rolls thinking the were egg rolls they took them back right away and even removed it off my tab. I went here with a large group and they definitely were able to accommodate us and ensure we all had a great time. Overall it's not much of a looker but it's a not warm cozy place to enjoy some good pho. One thing that does bother me though are the hours. lol

    This was a little sister's first time having pho and this place did not disappoint!!! We came pretty close to their closing time but did our best to eat quickly. The pho was so flavorful and great portions. I ordered a #9 and she ordered a #1. We ordered two smalls and they were the perfect amount. The other option was a regular and I have a feeling that one is a lot bigger.... It was very clean, quick and friendly. Love this place. Can't wait to go back.

    This restaurant was one of my favorite spots in Chico. The servers are incredibly nice, the pho was immaculate, and it was a great way to end a day of class and study. Cute little spot that you might miss, but if you see it, make sure you go in!

    So close to hitting the flavor and and texture of pho that I am used to eating in San Jose. Only things missing in my opinion would be tripe and nicer cuts of beef. The soup was also a tad bit too sweet for my taste, but I could definitely taste the use of star anise and the other herbs common in pho. Comes with bean sprouts, Basil, lime which seems not to be the standard in this area.

    This has become my family's favorite go-to Pho restaurant. Our favorite place in Chico for sure. It's absolutely delicious, the broth (both chicken and beef) is so flavorful.

    #13 Pho Chay - vegan pho

    They have vegan pho now, and it's tasty! Most vegan pho I've tried has a broth that's pretty close to plain water. This broth manages to be light, like you'd expect a pho broth to be, but still flavorful, with a mild curry taste. It has become my new go-to comfort food. Aside from the standard pho toppings you add in yourself (bean sprouts, lime, etc.) and noodles (of course), this pho includes: a small amount of cilantro, a small amount of thin sliced and caramelized onions, tofu, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, and carrots.

    I have been here once before but just had the egg rolls. Which by the way was delicious. Today I came in and finally decided to try pho for the first time. Holy mole that was the best idea my boyfriend has ever had. I ordered the vegan pho because all the veggies sounded good. I am so glad I did. It was amazing. 10/10 we also ordered some dumplings that tasted amazing at well, they came fried and with a chili oil sauce. THAT SAUCE is the perfect ingredient. I dipped my dumplings in it and poured a bunch of it in my pho. Mind blowing. I can't wait to go back. My only wish is that they had a kids serving. The servings are huge. Never a bad thing. Just means I get a few meals out of it.

The broth I think tastes the same so that's good. However, I noticed that the beef slices were so much tougher and dryer now. Previously, the slices were thin and slightly rare when coming out so they weren't over done. Now, the cuts are thick and chunky and much tougher to chew. Interestingly, they just dump the cilantro into the soup directly rather than have it on the side for you to garnish. They still provide a sizable pieces of tripe, which I like. The tendon is smaller and not as big chunks as before. Sadly, I left a bit disappointed. I might try again in another couple of months to see if they return to the previous level of quality.

The pho also came out with only been sprouts, basil, and lime. I had to ask for extra cilantro otherwise there would have been none in the soup? Pho without cilantro or rau răm just feels lacking. On top of all this, the combination pho should come with tripe and tendon, I only found a few measly pieces of tripe and tendon (see pictures). The brisket and beef slices were a bit dry. I think I would have preferred it to be a bit more rare when coming out rather than tough and over cooked. Seems not many places in Chico do that. Now some of the good. The beef they do give is plentiful and I didn't really feel like it needed more. There was a good amount of brisket slices and beef balls. The pho noodles were cooked and not clumpy.

Cute spot with booths all over and a friendly staff. We were greeted and seated right away. I ordered the breakfast sandwich which is on a croissant with smoked bacon strips, avocado, mixed greens, bacon jam and two eggs. Instead of the potatoes, I got fruit for an additional $3.49. The sandwich was ok and I usually like bacon jam but I didn't like how sweet it was on this. The fruit was a sliver of orange, a very soft and super thin sliver of flavorless watermelon, a few slices of strawberries, a handful of blueberries and a ton of thin sliced apple. It wasn't great and I gave the apples away. I would have preferred just berries and for the additional cost, it would have been worth it. Randy ordered The (Not So) Standard Benedict and said it was only ok. He didn't like the super soft potatoes that came with it so he didn't eat many of them. His very thin slice of watermelon on his plate was also soft and flavorless. Our friend ordered the French toast and said it was good. I don't think we'd go back but we really appreciated the attentive server we had.
