    So Yummy!
    Khanh V.

    My wife and I stopped by our favorite local Vietnamese restaurant tonight, (Pho Hanoi) knowing the food would be as delicious as always. What made this visit especially memorable was meeting our server, Tai, for the first time. Tai truly impressed us with his attentiveness and attention to detail. It seemed like he could anticipate what we needed before we even had to ask. He went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and that our dining experience was exceptional. The outstanding food, combined with Tai's warm and professional service, made for a wonderful evening. We look forward to coming back and hope to be served by Tai again. Highly recommended!

    I stumbled upon another Pho Ha Noi location. This one is located next to Market Broiler, Five Guys, Dish N Dash, etc. The parking lot is large, so you shouldn't have an issue finding a spot. Walking in, you can use their revolving door or traditional door. But once you step inside, it seems to be grander than their other locations. They have a large bar area and options to dine inside or outside in their patio area with shade and heat lamps. They have separate multi-user men and women's restrooms. They were closing during the period between 3pm to 5pm, so I only ordered a drink. My usual of Vietnamese Ice Coffee. It was bold, strong, like you'd expect. The service was friendly as I was ordering knowing they were about to close. Support your local business.

    My mom and I actually prefer this location over the one in San Jose. The atmosphere here feels much more relaxed and laid-back, making it a more enjoyable place to sit down and enjoy a meal. The service was decent, although you'll probably need to flag down a server if you need to place another order, ask for extra sauces, or get the check. They weren't very proactive, but they were helpful once we got their attention. One thing I really appreciated was that the pho arrived HOTTT--exactly how pho should be. There's nothing worse than lukewarm broth, so this was definitely a plus. The only downsides were the seating and space. Our table was a little wobbly, which made eating a bit annoying, and the dining area felt a little tight. We had our son's stroller with us, and maneuvering through the restaurant wasn't the easiest. I wish there were just a bit more room between the tables for families with strollers. Overall, it's a solid spot when you're craving a comforting bowl of pho. Between the cozy atmosphere and piping hot broth, I'd happily come back.

    The best chicken pho! The chicken is juicy. Buy one cocktail and get another for $1! Lychee martinis were so good. And the shrimp rolls were fresh and delicious. Girls night out was a success.

    We were on the way back to the city from Brentwood when we decided to grab some lunch here at Pho Ha Noi. I've been to other locations before so it wasn't our first rodeo with this establishment. We waited about 5-10 minutes on a Sunday. We were seated in a booth with 3 adults + toddler. My husband I both ordered the grilled pork vermicelli although we wanted the Bun Cha but they told us it was sold out. Bummer! The waitress recommended this one as the closest choice to the Bun Cha. Overall the food was good and I don't think it was anything special with this dish to be honest. The grilled pork was cooked well and tasted just the way it should be. Service is good and attentive. Hope to go back to Pho Ha Noi soon to eat some bun cha next time!

    Nice & clean

    Nice & clean spot. On the pricey price for Vietnamese food. I love how they have choices of white or dark meat for chicken in Pho. Fresh noodle tasted great. Service could have been better comparing to how they represent their ambience. No one came to check if everything was ok and I had to for attention to get Togo container. FYI, no seafood Pho here.

    Came here for lunch with a friend. The place is spacious and clean. I got their the pho bo dac biet and the ube smoothie. The speciality drinks came out from those robot while the water and food were brought out by the employees. The food and drinks came out reasonable time. Prices are a little pricy for their food and drinks but food is still good. The restaurant is in a plaza with parking.

    One of our favorite Vietnamese spots in Fremont. Went here for lunch and got the roasted chicken with crispy sticky rice. Flavor and portion was on point and our server Dan was wonderful!

    Combination with fresh noodles
    Amanda D.

    Stopped by for a quick lunch with my coworker. Food came out fast and hot. I love the combination pho with fresh noodles! Pho always so flavorful. Super rich broth 10/10! I love making my bowl extra spicy and with extra limes/ lemons. Egg rolls were freshly fried and hot, 9/10 I asked 3 people that came to our table for extra lemons and not one person came back with it. I do notice that both Fremont and San Jose locations don't like to give much extras. Overall food was great though the restaurant was a bit conservative with extra lemon slices.

    Came here on Mother's Day for lunch before 12pm. Wait time was short. Only 5 min or so. The ambiance is so nice and I wasn't expecting it. The service was quick , a bit too rushed since during the first 5 min being seated, servers came asked us if we were ready to order for 5 times! It was our first time there and we needed more time to look over the menu but they kept coming back and asking if we were ready. I order a pho and it was within 5 min! My daughter wanted tamarind shrimp but was sold out. So she got the roasted chicken and crust sticky rice . The chicken was good abut the sticky rice was too crispy for my daughter. The pho tasted well and not as salty as other pho places. We also got eggroll but that was rather bland inside. Overall, we enjoyed it and will for sure to come back.

    Can't go wrong with beef rib pho (5/5)

    Vibe: 3.5/5 Service: 4/5 Food: 4/5 Drink: 4/5 Value: 4.5/5 I'm slightly embarrassed to admit that this was my first visit to this legendary establishment. My nail lady recommended the Vietnam town location in SJ over the Cupertino one due to the excessive fees, but when we discovered this location while shopping nearby, we decided to seize the opportunity. We loved the food. Everything tasted fresh, and the meat on my pho fell right off the bone. The portions were very generous and a great value. We will be back for sure.

    Bowl of deliciousness.

    Here's your review with the bar added naturally: I came to Pho Ha Noi for a solo birthday lunch since I drive by it almost every day. It's very close to my office, and I was craving some soup. I arrived just before the lunch rush and was immediately intrigued by the ambiance. I sat in a booth by myself and spent some time people-watching, noticing the great mix of customers coming in. One thing that also stood out to me was that they have a full bar, which adds a nice touch and gives the place a more modern, relaxed vibe compared to a typical pho spot. The service was excellent--the staff answered my questions and made me feel welcome. Since it was my first time there, my server recommended the combination bowl, so I ordered the combination beef pho along with the egg rolls as an appetizer. I have to say, the combination beef pho was really good. What stood out most to me was the generous amount of protein compared to the noodles--that was easily my favorite part. The fried egg rolls were also delicious. I would definitely come back, especially during the winter. There's something about the cozy environment, a hot bowl of pho, and the overall atmosphere that makes this place worth returning to.

    Kimberly H.

    I think this is the best Pho Ha Noi location in the South Bay, in my opinion. The portions are great for what we pay for!!! The side soup is quite large for what it is - which I'm not complaining, probably the thing that caught my eye immediately. The food is also incredibly tasty. Pho soup is clean and delicious. Shaking beef (bo luc lac) meat is perfectly cooked to medium rare, and I love the amount of meat given compared to other restaurants. I hope they continue to serve these plates this well continuously.

    Any plans to add more vegetarian/vegan options like the Palo Alto location?

    Do they have vegetarian options?

    They do not have anything vegetarian. Their veggie pho uses chicken broth.

    Do they take reservations for large parties?

    I just called and they said yes they do take reservations for big parties.

    Best pha flavores here? Please advice to me.

    Don't go here. There are plenty of other pho places with better flavor. Or, visit their location in SJ which is way better. The fremont location has smaller portions and everything we tried that day (both vegetarian and beef) were lackluster.

    They accept Apple pay?

    Yes!

We started with the One Piece Mixed Salad (tofu skin, vermicelli noodles, woodear mushrooms, carrots, celery, seaweed, and peanuts, all mixed in a savory, acidic, and spicy dressed ) and the Shredded Potato Salad, both of which made for nice appetizers. We also had the Cold Skin Noodles (Liangpi), a bowl of wide, chewy noodles mixed with a savory sauce and topped with tofu puffs, shredded cucumber , bean sprouts, and a creamy sesame sauce. Hailing from Xi'an, the Braised Pork Pita Burger was fatty pieces of pork braised in a savory sauce, served in a dry round of "pita," but even better was the Spicy Cumin Lamb Pita Burger, which contained a tantalizingly spicy, flavorful filling of tender spiced lamb. The Signature Beef Bone Noodle Soup came with noodles in a simple broth, topped with three bone-in beef ribs. The meat on the ribs was rather tough and sinewy, and the soup on the bland side, but the presentation of the dish was definitely impressive. Finally, the House Special Braised Dry Noodle was a bowl of noodles topped with a savory sauce with lots of different dried ingredients including tofu, s mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and red bell peppers. For each noodle dish, you could select from a variety of noodles, but my favorite by far was the 2cm "General Wide" noodles, which had an amazing chewy texture. Overall, this was a great restaurant for authentic Northern Chinese noodle dishes and other eats. Everything came out from the kitchen in just minutes after we ordered. The tasty dishes came at a good value, and the service was super friendly too!

    Was going to another noodle place but it seems it was no longer there so we decided come here to…read moresince it is in the same plaza. This is not our first time here. There seems to have some menu change since the last time we came. We ordered 2 dry noodles and a cold spicy pig ears appetizer. The pig ears were piled up with no fillers - something hard to find these days. You can select the type of noodles so I picked the widest while my husband picked the middle one. I love the el dente texture of the noodles giving it a bit of chew. My braised pork belly dry noodles was not dry... very watery which was not to my liking. I want my dry noodles with as little gravy as possible. The flavor was light despite all the gravy, but the veggies and one egg made it up. The house special dry noodles had just the right amount of gravy for taste but not enough ingredients. I was wondering why the restaurant is called One Piece... I guess the entire bowl of noodles is one piece noodle as it was hard to eat as all the noodles are tangled. No complaints here just need to be careful with the splashes on your shirt. Overall the food was good, service was decent as we were offered actual menu instead of only using QR code to order. The place was not small with plenty of table. A bit noise as with all Chinese restaurants.

This time I tried the braised beef stew belt flat noodles with Chinese pickles and it was quite bland. I feel that both this noodle soup and their signature Lanzhou hand-pulled noodles both lack the depth and umami tones of beef broth that have truly been simmering for hours. I think Highland noodles takes the cake for this. However, I did really like the belt flat noodles themselves.

The hot and sour dry noodles came with their signature 5-grain noodles, shredded cucumber, half an egg, cilantro and peanuts. The seasoning was sweet and sour with a kick. Honestly it tastes like a kind of instant Korean cold noodles I always eat in summer. The takoyaki of octopus balls are a type of Japanese snack I think, and it is very popular in the Asian countries as night market food. I actually had never tried it so I really could not compare. They are deep fried balls of what tasted like mashed potatoes wrapped Octopus tentacles . Topped with shaved bonitos. Tasked okay... The hot and sour sauerkraut noodles with snakehead fish was really good... if you like Chinese pickled cabbage. The soup base was not red at all so it gives a false sense that it was not spicy. It actually had a nice kick, but not the chilly hot kick, but the green peppercorn numbing sense of burn. The soup was very flavorful and the fish slices were good. I don't know what is snakehead fish but it tasted like flounder but firmer. There were pieces of both regular tofu and fried tofu, as well as a couple of quail eggs. The decoration was simple with cute fish lights dangling from the ceiling and display if the noodles from different grains. The service was decent and they kept on checking if we needed more water and additional utensils. We will most likely come back to sample other noodles.

    Look, I've been seeing this place get pooped on since they reopened. I differ from the harsher…read morereviews... Keep in mind, this place is in a soft opening phase. They just reopened. The staff and I think the kitchen is different now, and the food is different. The kid serving us seemed like the owners son. This place looked staffed by the owner and spouse, and our server looked about 16 and clearly wanted to be elsewhere. OK, maybe he doesn't know his stuff, and maybe he's got work to do. Maybe he's never seen great customer service, but this place got a little busy before we left, and honestly, they looked in the weeds, and acted like it. My first day as a server way back in whenever, I was at On the Border in Milpitas and I spilled a tray full of cokes on a dude. I tend to give a lot of leeway. No, this is not the Bings Dumplings we knew. I posted a snap of the Beef Noodle soup. The wife didn't love the noodles; they had too much sogginess and no really texture to them. The broth seemed rushed and there wasn't much depth of flavor. I've had worse. The torn cabbage was pretty good. The new chefs are putting some numbing spicy into the dishes so there was a nice heat that I enjoyed. For me though this dish is always better with some chopped up pork belly which holds a bit of sweet and sourness, and really adds to the dish. I actually enjoyed the cabbage salad and it had good flavor and depth, just not a lot of heat. I loved Mingles Mangos version, but they closed. The Zhajiangmian (looked it up), seemed to be up to my kids' standards, so no complaints. Look, give them time to grow. Give them time to establish their menu and I think they'll be a perfectly repeatable restaurant. I don't know if they'll ever achieve the status of the original, and I'm really sad it's gone now. But this place wasn't bad; we'll go back in a month or so to see how they are doing and how the food has progressed.
