Ordered to go on a Friday night as I knew I was coming down with a cold. I ordered the chicken pho and it was ready super quick. I went to pick up and the inside is very cute, in a small strip mall on the side of the road. It's easy to miss if you're not looking lol. I loved the broth and ingredients felt very fresh. I def will come back when I'm sick again! read more

Pho was great. Also got pork egg rolls. Parking is limited in the area. Drove around a few times trying to find somewhere to park as majority of parking lot is reserved for the supermercado next door. read more

My bf and I went here on a Saturday evening for dinner because we wanted pho. I did not think the pho was horrible, but I was not particularly impressed with it. When we got here, parking was a bit tricky/confusing and small as well, but a car came out just as we came in so we got lucky. Despite the parking lot being full, the restaurant was pretty much empty. I already had a bad first impression: an empty restaurant on a Saturday at peak dinner time, and the customers that ARE there are not Vietnamese. Not a good sign if you're wanting good pho. My bf and I shared a large #12 combo special pho. First thing I noticed, there was way too much noodles and little meat in comparison. The noodles were a slight touch over-cooked as well. I also felt that the broth was not as strong and flavorful as other places. It's not bad, but it could be better. The large was a perfect amount for us though. The staff was nice and helpful. However, the place charges you a 3.5% merchant fee for using a debit/credit card. We already saw this on the side of the napkin dispenser, but the cashier didn't physically say this when making payment. I just think they need to do this to be more transparent about this. I don't think there was an additional sign at the counter either. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place for pho. There isn't anything special or noteworthy about the pho, and there are plenty of better pho restaurants around the area. read more

When we arrived at the restaurant, we noticed that there's a parking lot outside but each space is dedicated to specific businesses, and there are far more Mi Ranchito spaces than Pho Lovers. Inside, there is beautiful decor and artwork on the wall, and plenty of seating, though we were ordering for takeout this past Sunday evening. The workers were friendly, and the wait for food was pretty quick, about 10 minutes. We got the eggrolls with fish sauce on the side, Dac Biet Lovers Special Noodle Soup (with sliced steak, beef balls, and ox tail), and the grilled pork chop plate with steam rice (shaped liked a heart, even in the to-go container :) The food overall wasn't perfect. I've had pork chops with better flavor, but I still enjoyed my meal, and the cucumber and tomato slices on the side were super fresh and delicious. The pho didn't come with enough hoisin sauce, though it was still pretty good, and hot enough even for takeout. The egg rolls were really good, no sauce needed, they were hot, crunchy on the outside, with delicious pork filling. They were on the smaller side, but too good to really complain about. Overall, I liked this place, and would return to try other items on their menu. read more

I was feeling under the weather and wanted to get some soup. I had to yelp some good pho spots since all the good viet eats at down south San Jose. Pho lovers came up with one of the more better ratings so I called to place a takeout order. The guy answering the phone was not friendly and seemed to be in a rush. Parking was full in the small lot shared with a Mercado. The guy who rang me up was still not as friendly. The place was not busy yet they seemed to be in a rush. I came home and heated up my pho. The portion was smaller than I'm used to and could've had more meat. read more

This place was so good! I had the beef pho and my sister had the chicken pho and switched out the broth to spicy broth! Both were so good, service was great, parking was kinda difficult we had to circle the tiny parking lot a couple of times. We both ordered coffee and it was so good! read more

Came in here around 2pm on a Saturday. Immediately walking in this waitress was already giving us attitude, not an ounce of hospitality. Idk if she had a bad day or what. Like girl we can take our money elsewhere. Next, I ordered a drink with her and wanted to change it (they didn't make it yet btw) and she came over looking annoyed at me and said "you wanted fresh lemon and now you want salted lemon?" And I said yes and she said ok and rolled her eyes. Will I be back? No. I'm giving one star only because I have to and the food was good and big portions. But there are many other pho places that have the same quality minus the eye rolling and attitude. Other staff seemed to be friendly though. read more

Parking lot could be better but the food is great! Somehow have managed to snag a parking spot every time but it is limited. Coming from a Vietnamese American, who eats at a lot of Vietnamese restaurants, everything I have tasted here so far has been yummy! Bun Bo Hue is among my top 2 places to get JT. Perfect amount of spice and not overly salty. Pho was a tad on the sweeter side but not in a bad way. Their fried tofu appetizer was one of my favorite tofu dishes I've had. Typically I'm picky with how my tofu is served but this was perfectly crispy. Friends enjoyed their vegan pho here and I love that they have a dedicated section of the menu that is vegetarian / vegan. Makes it easy to come in groups. Lots of seating here and restrooms have generally been clean. Further past the unisex restroom there's a women's restroom I didn't notice the first time. Happy to have discovered great a Vietnamese options in this area and not having to drive to San Jose to get quality. read more

Food is not good Service is horrible. they're super mean literally one of the persons I get out.

One of the best pho I've had. The soup has so much flavor, ingredients tastes fresh and it's a good portion. The staff is friendly, the older lady with the glasses is very upbeat and nice. This is a definitely a must try spot. The place is clean too. read more

The flavor of the food is fine. What I didn't like is that they charge for the garnishment plate of basil, Sprouts, jalapeños & lemon - $2.50 each! That is fine if they told us in advance. My group of 4 could have done without. They also charged for extra lemon. I have been to many Pho restaurants and they have never charged for these. Also, it's a tiny parking lot and it's hard to get a spot. So all the effort and up charges it is not worth it to come back. read more

We visited the place after a round of golf recently. We wanted something filling and warm. We got there at around Sunday lunchtime. The place was a big enough to host a decent lunchtime crowd. I had Pho-ga, chicken noodle soup. It was like any other pho, but lacked chicken. Chicken weren't seasoned and blend. $20 per bowl? Maybe not. read more

Parking here really sucks. It's a tiny little strip stared with a grocery store, and I'm really concerned about how tight the spaces are and how many people come in and out. Pho here is affordable! I loved their nem nuong spring roll. The pho itself was really good too! It is just really far for me: 40 minute drive! I drove out here with the intention to try Pho Lovers and I was not let down. I'd def come back when I'm in the area! Also, it is cheaper to pay cash versus card! read more

Honestly, one of my new favorite pho spots!!! The portions are huge and everything I've had so far is amazing!! Starting with that appetizer platter! It has the best of the best fried foods: fish ball, chicken, shrimp wonton, egg roll, and sticky rice. The vermicelli and the pho noodle soup are my favorite items to get! The service is great! The food came out fast and hot!! Definitely my new go to spot :) every time I come, I leave very full and satisfied with leftover food to go for my next meal. read more

The service was so good and everyone was so nice I really enjoyed this place will go again! I came around 12:40 and it was busy but not super busy they were able to get my order out pretty quickly which I liked usually during lunch time you wait a lot for some places but the wait here for pick up was maybe 10-15 min not bad at all they also have doordash:-) read more

Our go to place for Vietnamese food! We have been here several times and had best experience each time. We have tried only vegetarian food here most of the time. I love Vietnamese food but it was hard to find places with good veggie pho ever since I decided to go vegetarian, until I chanced upon this place. The summer rolls are the best around the area! Very yummy and consistent taste over the years. Veggie Pho is amazing! Garlic noodles with fried tofu is our goto dish! Great portion sizes and quick service! Salted lemon soda with pickled lemons is great and I have not tried that before. read more

overall: 3.5/5 came on a wednesday around 7pm and it was pretty open seating wise & we were helped immediately. had an itch for some pho so i decided to go to this place, we ordered the large combo (#12) & cha gio. i thought the cha gio was pretty good and came out fast, hot and fresh. the combo was was okay, i thought it could use more tanginess so i added extra lime. parking is kinda weird at this place so i'd prob skip this place if it was the weekend or try to see if there is any street parking close by but if it was the weekday it would be fine inside was p quiet and over thought it was pretty clean. would recommend if you are in the area read more

kind of a hidden gem because there aren't many other eateries nearby, especially that are open at night. very warm inside (both literally and also because the staff are friendly). delicious, huge bowls of vermicelli noodles were so satisfying. wish there was more sauce but the meat was seasoned well and tender. read more

parking is really weird here - the lot is super small and there's only a handful of spots that are for "pho lovers" customers. there's a lot right next to it that doesn't seem to be as restricted, so we parked there. it was semi busy on a wednesday night, but we still got seated immediately. interior wasn't too loud and service was pretty fast. egg rolls: 4/5 it was good but nothing special. outside was crispy, inside was burning hot, dipping sauce was standard. pho: 4/5 thought it was similar to the egg rolls in that it was good but nothing amazing. the broth was flavorful and hit the spot. some of noodles were a tad bit mushy/overcooked, but there was a good amount of meat. we split a large bowl between two moderately hungry people and it was a good portion. all in all, this place did satisfy the pho craving but there's definitely better spots in san jose read more

Had the combination w oxtail here. The broth was good, the oxtail was mostly bone, but it was not bad, still had plenty of chewiness on it, could cook a bit longer guess. The pho came with minced fresh ginger, which was new and refreshing to me. I think this vietnamese restaurant might be run by an entire hispanic family, which I thought was pretty interesting, I saw from the server, busser, to kitchen staff were all hispanic, and possibly related. Can't wait to come back, and try their other dishes. read more

Great food, nice atmosphere, super attentive and friendly service! This was an excellent lunch and I will definitely be back.

Ok spot for pho, but I would recommend you eat in versus getting take out (what I did). They are located in a small strip mall off the beaten path in Sunnyvale. It was only a 10 minute wait for an order placed at 5:30pm on a Thursday. My order was ready when I arrived, and I tried: -#5: Nem Nuong Guon/Grilled Pork Rolls ($5.25, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=2gJz8j0tsx3690YDIRIu3Q&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg): Ok, but their nem nuong wasn't as flavorful as other versions I've had (from SoCal though). They did have the crispy piece in the roll, which gave it good texture, but it wasn't wrapped super evenly or neatly. -#17: Pho w/Rare Steak, Brisket, Flank, Tendon, Tripe (Large/$13.50 + $0.75 Fresh Flat Rice Noodle, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=_bNyqaWWeFBV8s5qXfZT0w&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg): I ordered mine without tripe, but there was very little meat included. They gave me 3 pieces of rare steak, but pretty much only 1 slice of the other meats. The broth had good flavor, but it wasn't very hot by the time I received it. Also, it's not worth paying extra for the fresh flat noodle, since I like the regular pho noodles better. I would come back to give their rice dishes a try, but wouldn't order their pho again unless dining in. It seemed like indoor dining was available, but not outdoor dining. Parking can be difficult to find since this plaza has very limited spots. read more

This place is usually my go to for Vietnamese in the Sunnyvale area but I'm probably going to have to rethink that going forward. Today while finishing an order of the shaken beef with garlic noodle I bit into a foreign metal object that was similar to a staple. This is the second time I've found something inedible in my food from there. Do better Pho Lovers! Your food is good but finding things like this is unacceptable. read more

Pho Lovers is a really solid spot for tasty Vietnamese food. We ordered: - Lovers Sampler Plate - 3 pieces each of Crispy Coconut Sweet Rice, Fried Egg Rolls, Sesame Chicken Wings, Fried Shrimp Wontons & Crispy Fish Balls. Freshly fried, everything in this sampler plate is yummy - Grilled Chicken Salad - love their grilled chicken, it's so flavorful and tender - Pho Chin - well-done lean brisket pho - their broth is well-balanced and their meat is good - Bun Cha Gio Tom Thit Nuong - Grilled Pork, Grilled Shrimip, Egg Rolls & Salad w/vermicelli - so satisfying - Chanh Doy - Fresh Passion Fruit Juice - not too sweet and slightly tart, really refreshing Cons are that the parking lot is small so it may be hard to find parking during busy times read more

The best Vegan Pho I've ever had! Service is also good. This is my go-to place when I'm craving a nice, hot, piping Pho!

Located in a strip mall with weirdly restrictive parking rules all over, Pho Lovers is a standard pho place that serves, you guessed it, pho and other Vietnamese dishes. Vietnamese is pretty hard to come by in Sunnyvale for some reason, but this place serves up some pretty good pho. It's not phenomenal, like you'd get in East San Jose, but it scratches that pho itch if you have it. Their meats are prepared well, the portions are pretty large, even if you order a small, and their soup isn't too cloudy (I mean, it is, but it still rings true of pho broth. It's not messed up or anything). Their prices are, well, Sunnyvale-esque as well, but you can't have it all. One thing I do like is that they offer the fresh flat noodles, but for a $1 more it's again a bit steep haha (I swear I'm not a miser, it's just jarring!) Overall, out of the TWO pho places in Sunnyvale, this is a solid one! Can't wait to try the other! --- sweet: perfectly adequate pho, nice portions! bitter: a bit pricey, esp. compared to quality you get in San Jose. read more
