I've gotta update my review. Pho LAN is conveniently located near where I work and live. I've been here a few times and over the years they've grown on me. The food is good, the service is friendly and when I've ordered take out, the food is still piping hot when I eat it. read more

Pho Lan Noodles House - #9- rare steak and tripe - Noodles Near Me - Fremont, California

We needed a quick dinner before we walked to Banter Books just across the street for an author event. I ordered the Rare steak, well done flank, brisket, tendon, & tripe pho. The broth was very flavorful, and the serving was huge. The thin slices of rare steak was delicious, though I wish there was more tendon. We were in and out of there under an hour. Solid Vietnamese spot in Fremont. read more

Pho Lan Noodles House - Noodles Near Me - Fremont, California

Had pho with brisket, beef ball, and rare steak, vegetarian banh mi, and vegetarian bun bo hue. All of which were comforting and hit the spot on a cold night. The pho broth was tasty and had a clean taste to it and I enjoyed it so much with the all the meats. The banh mi was very good as well! Service was really nice but was pretty forgetful with some of things I ordered such as getting raw bean sprouts instead of steamed bean sprouts, getting well done steak instead of rare steak, and not getting the veggies for the bun bo hue. That aside I would still come back because it's a solid Viet/Pho spot that reminds me of what I grew up on! read more

Pho Lan Noodles House - Pho with brisket, beef ball, and well done steak and vegetarian bun bo hue - Noodles Near Me - Fremont, California

Fremont has many pluses when it comes to dining but awesome pho spots isn't 1 of them. However, those looking for South Asian, Pakistani & Northern Chinese cuisines are in luck though. Pho Lan Noodle House is a decent spot for pho. This is a family owned business and folks need to support family owned businesses. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Observant diners will notice the grandmother working the cash register & the wee children doing homework or quietly playing behind the portable privacy partition.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I have loads of respect for this quintessential immigrant story.... I generally order veggie and/or the chicken pho. The broth is good, not heavy, always aromatic and at the right temp. Service was fast and friendly. Food came out quick. read more

Good food, high prices, just ok service. Mushroom eggrolls are good. Across from the hub in Fremont. Easy parking right in front. [[HIGHLIGHT]]TV'S tuned in to the news on my last visit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Pho Lan Noodles House - 1 order of veg chow mein and egg rolls - Noodles Near Me - Fremont, California

Wife and I are DYING from the flu and desperately needed something that would help ease the pain. Decided to give Pho Lan a shot since Pho Mama destroyed her last time lmao. Got take out Pho Beef Balls and had a friend pick it up for us. Yes we are not trying to spread this deathly flu to the rest of Fremont and the world. Bowl came with HELLA noods and HELLA beef balls. They packed us veggies and gave us extra lemon as we requested. Broth was soothing and the meal smacked! It was decently priced too, not some $20 pho BS that I've been seeing which is lowkey wild. Review might be slightly biased because I was on the verge of death but if I wanted convenient pho I would order from here again. THANKS AND STAY HEALTHY ALL read more

This Pho restaurant is a decent spot if you're craving soup. The soup was good, but was a little light for my taste. Their egg rolls and spring rolls were fantastic. I might've just caught the broth on an off day, but it was a bit on the lighter side. My fiancé loves pho and is particular about a spots broth. She really likes this place and said the broth was a richer in beef flavor earlier in the week. Service was fast and friendly. Food came out even faster. Soup was hot and satisfied my cravings. I did come on a Saturday at 3pm so your mileage may vary. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance was cute and calm. The walls are decorated with flowers, statues, and pictures of the dishes. Tables and seating match the decor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was pretty quiet inside outside of other groups talking.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Tried this place for the first time on Christmas Eve. We ordered over the phone for pick up. There was another review on here about them messing up phone orders and it's correct. My husband got home from picking it up while it was pouring rain to open up the food and mine is pork with white rice and some lettuce. It was not only a very sad looking plate but also the wrong plate. He felt bad and being we don't live too far called them to get the correct order. After a few minutes of the woman on the phone figuring out which order it was, she said that the other woman on the phone thought it was number 38 and not 28. Luckily they said to come back down and they'll make the correct order. Like I said, I'm glad we live close otherwise it wouldn't have been worth it to drive in the pouring rain in the dark on Christmas Eve. When he got back the second time, it was correct. Unfortunately, by that time, his plate along with the Vietnamese egg rolls were no longer hot. We ordered A-3 (Vietnamese fried egg rolls), 28 (beef over vermicelli), and 31 (combination vermicelli). It was around $50. This was not worth the money. There were hardly any pickled veggies in either vermicelli plates which stinks because I love pickled veggies. The beef in mine was pretty fatty and wasn't cut up at all so it was difficult to eat. I don't like fatty or gristly meats so I had to pick it apart to eat it and remove the nasty pieces. There was a little bit of lettuce but it was under the noodles and meat. I wish they put it with the veggies so it wouldn't get soggy. The shrimp cake in the combination plate was greasy and smelled more fishy than other shrimp cakes we've had. The meat on the plate was also pretty fatty. The Vietnamese egg rolls were probably the best thing we ordered as they were large and full of filling. They were crispy and not greasy. I couldn't tell if they were made there or purchased premade. Overall, I don't think we'll be back as this wasn't a cheap meal and wasn't anything special. There are better spots around to spend our money at. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The space is pretty big and can accommodate big groups.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered the Hu Tieu and it was ok. Looooots of noodles and not a lot of meat. I usually love noodles but something smelled a little chemical-y to me. I tried my friend's pho and the broth tasted good - would recommend getting that next time! read more

Their food is tasty and comes with a pretty large portion. The restaurant is also clean. Prices are reasonable. I'll be back. read more

Came here for a quick pho fix, and it was the perfect lunch! We were seated promptly, the service was fast, and our food came out quickly. Small restaurant but plenty of seating. The pork egg rolls were crispy and tasty--reminded me of my Grandma's! The pho broth was hot and flavorful, and the noodles had the perfect soft yet chewy texture. There's only one size bowl for pho, so little ones may need to share, but it's filling for a big kid, teen, or adult. If you have a bigger appetite, you can order extra noodles and meat. One minor downside was that the dishes could have been washed/dried a bit better, but I've found this common in a lot of small, authentic Vietnamese/pho restaurants. Pricing was commensurate for the amount of food and location. There are so many pho options in the area, but if nearby, I wouldn't mind coming again. read more

We drove by this place randomly expecting the Thai place we used to frequent but I guess that place is now replaced by this Vietnamese Restaurant. We went in to try it out. It was a weekday night, it was a slow night with I think 2 parties dining in. I got the fried chicken with tomato rice and my boyfriend got grilled pork chop. Our food didn't take long to get to us and it also honestly didn't take long to eat. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience was quiet, I wish they had music to drown the silence.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I think next time we will order to-go. Overall not bad, and price is as expected of Fremont nowadays. Will come back for a good to-go option for us. read more

I really should go and sit down and try out their Pho. I generally just go here for pick up and I'm pretty predictable. I get the grilled pork with egg rolls and salad.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]We went on a Sunday afternoon and place was not too busy. There were available seats for indoor dining.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered soup and pad thai. Both dishes were tasty and delicious. Their soup was more tasty than the other Vietnamese restaurants. The pad Thai was ok. Price was also reasonable, around $15-$16 per bowl. They just had 1 size for the bowl of soup. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Atmosphere was casual.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Plenty of available parking. We will go back again to have pho.

Walked in and decided to try it out. It wasn't busy. Great Service. Great Food. Recommend.

Ambience was like every other pho place but the food is consistent and doesn't disappoint. Despite how it was not busy, it worked in our favor because the service was fast without any hiccups. Our food was delivered in less than 10 minutes. The vegetables were fresh while their custom sauce for the rice and chicken was extremely savory. Chicken was also huge which was a plus. The grilled shrimp and chicken had a nice char. Water came out immediately and when asked for a refill it came fast as well without needing to wait long. Personally, I think the prices were extremely reasonable for Bay Area food. read more

Pho Lan Noodles House - Cockroach in the food - Noodles Near Me - Fremont, California

One of my town's busier pho joints as it is dead smack in the middle of the commercial area of town, our town's sad version of a downtown (laughing but crying inside). Very bright in there, lots of white smooth tile and big glass front windows. Good amount of seating as well like maybe 60 or so seats. I like the fam who runs it for the most part. I'm not a reg so haven't gotten to know anyone, but I've seen some regulars that seem to know the drill. I also don't see a lot of Vietnamese as customers here, and I kinda do at the places I do frequent more. I did love how when I came once during the late lunch hours and there was a resident cute little girl (maybe 6ish years old) who had her own table in the corner with toys, crafts and maybe homework. IYKYK LOL. But upon seating she also gave me my glass of ice water, and she was doing that with other tables that were walking in, without anyone telling her what to do. She simply would observe on who the new tables were and she'd bring out waters one by one. I've seen frig'n 20 year olds that don't have enough sense to do what that little girl was doing. I was blown away. Spring Rolls ($8ish/4*) Solid spring rolls, wrapped tight with fresh ingredients. Scant slice of roast pork, lots of bean sprouts, lettuce for color and plump shrimps. Wished there were some herbs in there as that really makes it pop like mint or basil, but was fine when dipped into that sweet peanut sauce that I douse with chili sambal. Pho with steak and tendons ($15ish/4*) Nothing wrong with their version, everything was protocol. Beefy broth with an aromatic spice kiss. Only some tables have fish sauce but I give places a nod if they do. Beef Stew Noodle Soup ($15ish/3.5*) I thought this was just ok. Broth actually decent albeit a bit greasy, good flavor though. Egg noodles were really thin, I guess I like it a tad bit thicker for more of chewy bite. And the cubes of beef were a bit too lean for me. I like the chuck cut for stew or brisket, this seemed like round or leg meat to me, not as unctuous. Not sure if this will make my rotation as the ones I go to, I have good chemistry with. But rounding up to a solid 4* just for that little self sufficient tiny girl. read more

Vietnamese in the former Thai restaurant spot in the former Sprouts plaza. Sad to see so many places changing during covid with so many local places like pho crav'n and pho lovers closing their doors forever. The owner is a very kind and he will thank you at least 5 times for coming in or ordering takeout. Just the earnest appreciation for our patronage makes me want to return. The good: The egg rolls are twice the size as all the other egg rolls you get in the area and taste great. Other restaurants charge the same amount for half of what you get at Pho Lan and the taste and crunchiness are not sacrificed for the quantity. The grilled pork chop with rice was also good, we get this or the chicken for our kids and if it's not good they won't eat it. They easily ate all of it and seemed to want more even though they both had round bellies My wife said her bun bo hue was ok, she is a huge fan of pho mamas version and likes it even more than some of the OG famous bun bo hue places in Socal. She ate all of Pho Lans take on it but thought other places were better. My Pho Tai Gau was great and filling for the size. read more

After previewing fellow commenters, we had high hopes of this restaurant. It used to be a great Thai food restaurant long time ago. After changing the owners a few times, it is a Pho Lan Noodles House now. Food served pretty fast. The vermicelli w/ grilled pork/egg rolls, and the rice w/ grilled pork were chosen for our meal. The egg rolls were wonderful. But all the grilled pork were saltier. Normally sweeter taste is preferred. It's okay as the fresh salads evened the taste. Nonetheless, the restaurant looks old and uninspiring. It also had that smell of cleaning detergent when you walked into the restaurant. Maybe we didn't order their signature dishes, such as Pho. Yes, the prices are fairly reasonable, but maybe that's also the reason why they cannot charge a premium. read more

Pho Lan Noodles House is located in Fremont Plaza in Fremont. I had planned to visit this place much earlier, but I finally made my way around. The place was relatively calm and half-filled when I entered. I found a table and looked over the menu. Originally I had planned to get a bowl of Pho, but I decided at the last moment to try a Rice Plate (Beef Cubes Over Tomato Rice ). While waiting, I got to see how spacious it was. The service was good, and I got my drink quickly. Soon thereafter, my Rice Plate was brought to me. It was good and filling. I shall return to try their Noodles next time. read more

We were in need of lunch fairly earlier in the day, so we decided to grab a bun. We've seen this place on Yelp a few times when we do searches and since we were going to be nearby, we decided to try it out. L O C A T I O N Pho Lan Noodles House is located in the plaza that used to house the Barnes & Noble which is now the Mega Mart. It's actually on the side that's facing Fremont Blvd right next to Curry Pizza House. There's plenty of parking that's shared by the other restaurants here. We easily found a spot in front of the place. M E N U Fairly standard Vietnamese fair, but we focused on the bun aka vermicelli bowl. We decided on #31 which was the House Special which included the grilled pork, shrimp, and shrimp cake. We were a little surprised by paying almost $18 for a bun, but it's definitely sizeable portions with a good amount of meat although wish there was more than just two shrimp. The shrimp cake was interesting and pretty good. I think it's the same shrimp cake that usually goes around the sugar cane in another Vietnamese dish. The grilled pork had a good lemongrass taste though some pieces were nicely grilled while others just lightly grilled. S E R V I C E Though I didn't go inside, my bf did go inside and said they were quite nice! I like nice service but who doesn't? O V E R A L L What a find! I'm glad we have another option for Vietnamese in the area that's close to our errands. I'm looking forward to trying out their pho and other dishes. So definitely will be back and will update again in the future. read more

Yes! This place is delicious! We came here for a celebratory dinner. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe was low key old school Vietnamese restaurant as I remembered them when I was young.

Great for my husband who has a hard time finding vegetarian bun bo hue and they had it here and it was good. Portions were great, but adding extra noodles was only $3! I got the brisket and rare beef pho. Hella good. It's close to my neighborhood so this might be the newest spot for me. I'll be back again and again! read more

They give us a different amount of meat every time we order Pho. The owners were not friendly at all last time we dined in. When they take orders by the phone they mix them up and get the wrong thing. Maybe you should put someone who speaks good English on the phone so they could understand the customers better without them having to repeat the order 10x times. read more

This place replaced the original Thai restaurant. Everything is on par with expectations when you visit a Pho restaurant but something is just not quite there yet.
