Disgusting! MAGGOTS alert!!!!We ordered 2 chicken pho's today 7/6 excited because we had been craving them for ever, when my daughter opened hers the first thing she saw floating at the top was a MAGGOT! We decided to call right away and ask for a refund! Their response was we could only get refunded for 1 of our pho's because the other was "perfect" and it was our choice not to consume it!!!! Very unhappy with a place that we used to love to order dinner from consistently! The girl on the phone said something to the effect "it was most likely in the noodles"... she made me fee like this happens Very often read more

If you want a lil feel good cozy broth, this is your place in Watsonville. My go-to is the combination pho with the tendon! Don't sleep on those spring rolls and while you're at it, get yourself a delicious boba drink! I leave this place satisfied every time read more

Good Pho, Vermicelli, Bahn Mi, Thai iced tea. Walk in, order, pay, sit, short wait for food - great for groups cuz you don't have to figure out how to split the bill at the end. Pleasant atmosphere. read more

Highly recommend the pho!! I enjoy that they have the self ordering system, i know not everyone prefers this but it is an introverts dream. A little pricey, but I would eat there again! read more

This place is yummy. Got the BBQ shrimp and pork vermicelli bowl. All with tip it was about $21. A bit pricey for the bowl. The shrimp was tasty and well flavored. They give a good amount of pork. Overall, delicious and flavorful, yet simple. The veggies felt fresh. read more

Great pho and vermicelli bun noodle place. Just went to Vietnam and believe this place does a very good job for being in CA. The actual milk teas are actually very good and the boba has been very decent the last few times. Highly suggest giving the place a try. Lunch * Beef Pho (Good) * Chicken Pho (Excellent) * Roasted Oolong Milk Tea (Excellent) read more

Pho Kitchen - Roasted Oolong Milk Tea - Vietnamese Near Me - Watsonville, California

I love this place so much! Would be five stars if they had vegetarian options for pho.

Ordered the steak pho and the meat was questionable. My girlfriend is vegetarian and the only broth options for the noodle soup (pho) were chicken and beef. She wanted to warn other vegetarians that happened to be passing through Watsonville in the mood for pho. It's a future pass, sorry! read more

Came here by recommendation of a friend and this place really hit the spot. Loved how spacious the seating area was and the order upfront method is quite efficient. I went to grab a seat with the little guy while my husband ordered and one of the waitstaff was thoughtful enough to grab a high chair for me. I got a pho combo with brisket and short rib and hubby got a vermicelli bowl. They barely had any brisket in there but they did give me three short ribs. The short ribs unfortunately just don't have as much meat on them but the flavor of the broth was great~ not overwhelmingly salty like a lot of places and I think they either don't use or use less msg since we don't feel super groggy after like we normally would with soupy dishes loaded with msg. The seats and floors are not the cleanest but overall it gets the job done and is one of the few asian soup places in the area. Would definitely recommend. read more

Pho Kitchen - BRING BACK THE COWWWW - Vietnamese Near Me - Watsonville, California

They have some of the best brown sugar boba and honey boba in the area. It tastes sweet, and I highly recommend. Their food is also fresh and delicious. The shrimp dishes are tasty, and I would recommend this restaurant for those who are craving boba or rice noodle dishes. read more

It's obvious they didn't expect a crowd the first thing on their grand opening day (which actually became more of a soft opening shortly). Seated patrons have been waiting for a while with their menus still open hoping to order and people outside have added their names to the wait list BUT there's practically no sign of front of house except for one person running back and forth into the kitchen. Here and there, it's fun observing various kitchen staff jog out with orders to the tables or fulfill to-go orders and keeping up with what is probably going to be their new norm. They are after all the only Vietnamese restaurant in Watsonville and a scene like this becomes a solid learning curve for streamlining their business model towards future success. After being initially slammed and backed up completely (with some to-go patrons outside having waited more than 40 minutes before coming inside to address the delay), they changed their dine-in for today to Pho only, which is absolutely acceptable since that's their name (and obviously mainstay). So I patiently waited for the food to come as it is obvious they are trying their best and maintaining the best attitude throughout the process. After all, as mentioned earlier, it's a hard learning curve for them that will guide their capabilities in a future ever busy and demanding environment. Now for the most important aspect to every review. How was their mainstay? It needs a little more work and as I now see this as a soft opening day, I'll have to come back another day and order significantly more of their menu when available. Their broth has an oily film and is rather light on the flavor depth. It sure needs a tad more salt too. Aside from this, they have a lot of potential for growth and as the only Viet restaurant in Watsonville - represent! 4 stars for now until the next visit. See you all soon. read more

Went for boba and had to go back for the pho. Everything tasted great. I was a little frustrated with the ordering system, but now I know what to do for next time. read more

This is our go to Pho and boba place for Santa Cruz County! The broth on the pho is so delicious. Their chicken vermicelli salad is also so good. Their bahn mi sandwich is equally delicious. I recommend them if you are not wanting to drive all the way to the Bay Area for great tasting Vietnamese food. Their boba is always soft and chewy perfection. We try new drinks every time and they have all been great. read more

every single food item i've gotten is always so good, the chicken pho and the strawberry milk tea are my go-tos. service is always fast and it's a nice place to just chill and enjoy your food. i wish they didn't close wednesdays bc i miss their boba so bad it's so good read more

Love the Boba the food and staff. Very welcoming! I get take out at least once a week. Love it!!

We ordered the spring rolls which were bigger than expected which is a good thing. We just wish it had some basil in it. The shrimp was cooked well (not tough) and the lettuce crispy and fresh. The Banh Mi (chicken) was very flavorful but I like more vegetables in mine, especially pickled radish and carrots. We'd get the Banh Mi again, but probably not the spring rolls. We'd go here again. read more

This is my go-to restaurant whenever I am getting takeout food. They prepare your meal exceptionally fast and still tend to all the customers. I always enjoy the perfectly made boba tea, the home-like feeling of their soups, and beautiful interior design. My only complaint would be that when you order a dish with shrimp, it tends to be very small amounts. read more

Was in the mood for some dinner so decided to to give this place a try, it had been awhile since I had pho so I was excited to FINALLY try this new place. Based on the reviews I ordered the #47 spicy beef noodle soup and didn't need to ask for extra beef, because it came with plenty. Based on other places I went to I would typically have to ask for extra beef. The bowl was MASSIVE! They provided a lot of noodles, and lots of flavor. I would definitely come back to this place, I can't wait to try other items from their menu, thank you and I recommend it! read more

So happy to finally find a spot that is authentic and closer than San Jose for my pho fix. A bit on the pricier side but worth it. There's always kid portions if your not too hungry. Also loved the fact that you can opt for egg noodles. Service was fast. Highly recommend this place if your in the area. read more

Pho Kitchen - Vietnamese Near Me - Watsonville, California

Happened upon this place after beach camping and hungry for some pho. The outside is typical and upon walking into the restaurant there are three kiosks to order. There were so many options and can be overwhelming. Paid with Apple Pay and grabbed a number and sat down for dine-in. It was convenient to order. The prices are about $5 more than what I'm used to paying (from Fresno, CA). I had the spicy beef pho it was delicious I did not have to add any additional flavor seasoning other than throwing in the bean sprouts and basil leaves. The boba drinks were excellent. The only thing was one customer restroom for all. Overall clean atmosphere, and I will be a returning customer Tip: bring cash for tipping. I did not like how it was asked during checkout at the kiosk like I don't know if I'm going to enjoy the food or not read more

Stopped here heading south and what a treat the food was delicious super deep rich flavors and the boba was also very good. Definitely stop here if you get the chance. The staff was also very attentive and friendly. read more

My hubby is craving PHO and we accidentally found this place It's clean , and they have a good selection of bobba and they even have a cute bobba stuff toy servers are nice restroom smells good and clean which is good , except I wanted to eat the vermicelli salads and my son want the banh mi and they don't have it :( Oh well it's ok maybe there's a next time when we are back in town read more

This place is a solid 4.5 stars. The ingredients are all fresh, the ordering system is fast/efficient, and the quality of the product is awesome. I especially like how the broth is flavorful but not too salty. To-go orders also keep broth separate from veggies and noodles to keep stuff from getting overcooked. So why not a full 5 stars? There was a fruit fly in the broth. Like, a single, tiny fruit fly. So small and insignificant that it's really not a big deal. Don't let that dissuade you. This is a legit great pho spot in the area and I'll definitely be back. read more

This place was okay, my shrimp vermicelli salad only had 5 shrimp in it and even with the sauce the flavor was lacking. Husband got the pork and shrimp rice place and was disappointed that there were only two shrimp and 2 cold cut slices of pork. Husband thought the flavor was good, but the meal was just very small and he ate again after we got home. I didn't like that I had to leave a tip before I ever spoke to anyone or got food. Unsure if I am going to give this place a try again. read more

Love this Pho spot!! I've always order Togo so I haven't had the dine in experience. But when I do go to pick up my food, the staff is always friendly! But the food is delicious and filling! Their Boba is also the best in town! read more

My daughter and I ordered the BBQ pork and tofu bahn mi sandwiches. They were perfection. The bread was perfectly crunchy on the outside while still being pillowy soft on the inside. The pork was tender and sliced thinly enough so that nothing was hanging out after each bite. The tofu was light and crispy. We also ordered boba teas, which were delicious. I definitely recommend this place and we'll be back soon read more

The best pho ever! I am so thankful that they have a restaurant like this in town! The service is fast and friendly. They have stations where you can pay or you can also pay at the register. I love that they offer utensils on each table along with sauces. The appetizers and plates are so delusions, full of flavor. read more

Great food, but the only way to order is through their digital screen menu. It would be better if you can sit down and order, especially with kids. read more

Their service is always so fast and friendly! The food is always delicious no matter what we order. The bobas are also yummy!

Absolutely delicious! Prices are comparable to other spots around the county, but the quality and portions are spectacular. We tried the Shrimp Spring Rolls, the BBQ Chicken Vermicelli Salad and the Chicken Pho. All were huge, flavorful, and prepared fresh and quickly. The ordering system was easy and the staff was friendly and helpful. Absolutely worth a stop if you're driving up or down 1 and looking for a tasty bite! read more
