Grilled Pork Vermicelli with 10/10!
Erica M.

This location is still going strong. I stopped getting their Bánh mì sandwiches and started getting their grilled pork vermicelli bowls instead. The pork is seasoned and grilled to perfection. The bowl is a good size and filled with all the toppings that come with your typical vermicelli bowls. I personally ask for cilantro and lemon on the side because it just adds that extra flavor profile I like. I also top it off with hoisin sauce and siracha. It's my go to when I come dine in. They have good customer service and the food comes out fairly quickly too. (See pics for reference).

3. Filetmignon Noodles Soup
Justin W.

Pho Mama is a very clean and colorful restaurant chain to have traditional Vietnamese foods. We tried the Fremont one and we were not disappointed. The Filet Mignon noodle soup came with flavorful soup. And its veg add-on included cilantro besides the typical bean sprouts and Thai basil. The grilled pork w/ egg rolls vermicelli was also well presented. Our favorite was actually the sugarcane juice. Again you can only find that in few authentic Vietnamese restaurants. The kitchen was efficient and service was prompt too. Overall, it was a good dining experience. If I may help the restaurant to improve, I would suggest to lower the grease content in both the pho soup and the grilled pork. After all, the fat is good to savory but bad for my cholesterol.

It feels a bit more Americanized, everything on the menu is in English, which made me a little unsure about how authentic it would be. That said, the pho combo was actually pretty good and comforting. We also tried the spring rolls, but the noodles inside were slightly hard, which was a bit disappointing. There aren't a ton of Vietnamese spots in Fremont, and this place is okay overall. Service is pretty fast and it's in a good plaza.

81. SPICY BEEF NOODLE SOUP
Kimmy P.

Stopped by this restaurant for the first time since I was nearby & needed a quick lunch meal & I'm so glad I did. I ordered their Bun Bo Hue, which has really good flavor. I'm a spicy palette girly so I added a lot of chili oil to it but the BBH broth & flavor was definitely there. Protein was super tender, which I appreciated. I can't stand it when I can taste the porkness from the pork slices if that makes any sense to anyone, so I'm glad I didn't in this dish. The beef slices were also cooked perfectly soft to chew on. I'm definitely coming back to try their pho next time.

Beef pho with tendon, and crab noodle soup
Amy H.

I tried beef pho with tendon at Pho Mama and it was great! Substantial portion too, I took half home to eat the next day. The broth was excellent! Definitely in my top 3 for pho in the East Bay. Service was friendly and prompt, and the inside of the restaurant is cute and clean.

A1. Spring Rolls 1/4 eaten
Hannah M.

I got an order of spring rolls and summer rolls. I've never had a summer roll before but it was very enjoyable though I can't compare it. The spring rolls were also pretty good. The wrappers were fresh and the filling ratios were pretty good with a decent amount of protein. My primary complaint was the herb flavor was lacking. My preference is for the roll to have lots of fresh herbs and this didn't quite deliver there. The peanut sauce was pretty good and there was a good amount of it. Again, I like it with a little more peanut flavor but overall, I'd come back here as everything was fresh and I live quite close so it's super convenient. Definitely want to try some other items in the future. Note that the place looked busy and the interior had a cool vibe so I plan to eat in next time!

Close spot near me and always so tasty! I always come back since the food is yummy, service is quick and friendly, and place is clean. The servers are always so kind and nice, and every dish is just as tasty. The service, quality and consistency is what always brings me back!

Chili Oil Wontons
Lawrence P.

Heard the hype about Pho Mama being on the guide. Came on a weekend about 30 minutes before opening and got first seating. Small restaurant. You could tell it was popular because of the huge line of people waiting outside. Pho Tai - really delicious. Meat was good quality and the broth was very flavorful. Really nice size of noodles and you could taste the richness of the soup. Garlic Noodles - these were ok. I think we've reached a point where maybe we need to stop with the garlic noodles, but I get it's still a fan fav. The flavor was very garlicky. Sauce was definitely on the more viscous side. Overall just fine. Marrow Toast - was excited for these but didn't really hit the spot, in my opinion. I would skip these. Fried Rice - GET THIS. The fried rice was so good. Really tasted that wok hei. Fantastic, deep flavor. I know - fried rice at a pho place - but do yourself a favor if you like fried rice and get this. Chili Oil Wonton - these I liked a lot. Had more of the chili flake flavor profile, which is nice. Huge wontons. Overall, some really good dishes, some ok. Definitely the pho and the fried rice.

Pork and shrimp egg rolls

Best banh mi in Fremont! Although known for pho, this restaurant has the tastiest banh mi in the area. The toasted baguette cradles the pate mayo spread, crisp pickled daikon and carrot, and marinated grilled chicken for a perfect bite. So impressed I went back twice in one week for the banh mi and the refreshing and light chicken salad.

Combination Beef Noodle Soup
Michelle N.

Super happy to finally find a pho spot in Fremont that I'll be coming back to! Came on a Wednesday evening around 6:30pm with a few girlfriends -- it's been getting chilly, so a hot bowl of pho really hit the spot. Pho Mama is tucked in a large, busy plaza with lots of food options, so parking might take a few minutes but it's manageable. The restaurant itself is clean, relaxed, and not too crowded on a weeknight. I ordered the Combination Beef Noodle Soup (marked as "most recommended" on their menu). As a Vietnamese, I can be pretty picky about pho, but this one honestly surprised me -- the broth was flavorful yet clean, the noodles had a nice chew, and the meats were all good quality. 5/5! Service was friendly, attentive, and quick -- our food came out in about 10 minutes. Overall, great spot for pho in Fremont. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!

80. CRAB NOODLE SOUP (Bun Rieu)
Alisa B.

Hmmm... honestly, it was just okay! I was really craving pho and bun rieu, so we ordered both to try. The broths were really lacking for me personally though, so it was throwing me off. Mostly just salty and didn't have a strong depth. The generous portions were appreciated and the veggies/ingredients were clearly really fresh. The staff here were really nice and service was quick, so it's a shame that I didn't enjoy this as much as I wanted to. I think I will stick to pho in the South Bay :( This location is in a busy plaza, so the restaurant filled in quickly on a Wednesday evening. Be aware that the parking lot is competitive!

Chicken shrimp eggroll rice plate
Ariana H.

I was really hoping to find a better pho spot than the one near my house (another Pho Mama). I used to love that location, but the food and service went downhill. My husband offered to pick up from this location for me on a lazy Friday afternoon. I thought I'd go with pho but ended up ordering the #62--lemongrass chicken rice plate with shrimp and eggrolls. It was delicious, just like how the Union City location used to be. The only downside was how long it took. I called the order in before my husband left the house, and even after making a stop at my son's school, he still waited over 20 minutes once he got there. I was quoted 20 minutes, but the total wait time was closer to 40. By the time he got home, his fries from Angry Chickz were already cold. I'd definitely go back because the flavor was great, but I really hope they improve on giving more accurate wait times.
