Gold standard of Pho. Their rice plates are also exceptional. When ordering pho, it comes out in less than one minute. Very fast, no frills service I actually prefer this place's Pho over Pho Element read more

Wanted us to sit in 2 separate tables considering our group of 9 which was odd and off-putting. However, we ended up all sitting together in the end. The interior was ample considering that about 10 of us were able to sit together. Bun bo hue (3/5): fairly oily. Meat was good and tender. Flavor was a bit lacking. Mostly spicy but not very salty. Tap to pay is accepted. Also what's nice was that they were able to split the check per item for all 9 of us. Props to them. Overall, Pho New Saigon is an ok restaurant. read more

Pho New Saigon - 38. Bun Bo Hue - Vietnamese Near Me - Foster City, California

This is a sleeper. Pretty clean Tiny place next to 99 Ranch, FC. Simple menu, quick service, fast cooking. Apps, Rolls, Pho, Bun, Rice, coffees and teas are on a consolidated menu. I ordered #3 Pho and the hot broth was excellent. As well as garnishes Grilled Pork with Cha Gio rolls on bun rice noodles was delicious. Marinated and grilled Pork flavor was really exquisite. Almost a bit sweet since it gets caramelized on the grill. Nice thin fat trim accentuated the grill char with toasted peanuts. Crisp, Fried Spring rolls were very good, filled with a moist peppery pork and carrot and glass noodle filling that did not get soggy, and was seasoned perfectly. Overall one of the best tasting Viet Cafe meals ever in the SFBA, including the venerable Tu Lan in the tenderloin across from the Moscone Center. Apparently they have bahn mi sandos too read more

Dropped by on weekday around 7pm and the place was half full with a mixture of people. The place was clean and service was prompt and polite. Food was served within 10 minutes or so for the entire table. This place is the most affordable in the area for Vietnamese food by several dollars and flavor is spot on. The pho broth was clean and delicious. Other dishes were well liked. Definitely be a favorite for the area. read more

Pho new Saigon is so good. The food is so comforting! We got the combination pho #1 and so amazing! The portion size was so big that it was enough for 2 meals for me. Can't wait to go back. read more

I ordered the wrong soup to go and they nicely swapped it out. It was great! Ordered spring rolls, bahn mi, and beef soup.

Really good food for a no frills joint. We were looking for a quick bite as we were driving through. We chanced it and gave this little place a try. It's great for fresh, hot and tasty Vietnamese fare. Would go again. read more

Pho New Saigon - Vietnamese Near Me - Foster City, California

Ordered takeout #3 rare steak... pho: nice overall flavors and met expectations #41 grilled pork and egg rolls bun: the meat was well cooked, but I wished the sauce was a bit more potent. #60 shaking beef: Portion was smaller than expected, but flavors were solid. Overall, a solid Vietnamese place in the area. I slightly prefer Pho Element for the flavor profile, but this place isn't bad either! read more

I really liked this place and have been a loyal customer for a while, but my recent experience completely changed that. This time, I ordered the egg rolls like I normally do, assuming they were vegetable since that's how I've always had them before. In the past, my friend ASKED what kind of meat was in them and was told CHICKEN, so I trusted that. This visit, the egg rolls tasted different, so I double checked and asked, the server told me the meat inside is pork. I can't eat pork, so I asked politely if I could exchange them or get a refund, but the staff refused and said it was already in the system (they just kept shaking their heads and made me feel like I was in the wrong, without offering any solution, so I ended up paying for something I couldn't eat). The way they handled the situation was very unprofessional and rude. One staff member even said, "You already took a bite out of this, I can't serve it to other people," which was very concerning. I wasn't asking for it to be served to anyone else, but the fact that this was even mentioned raises serious food safety concerns. It's very concerning to be given incorrect information about ingredients, especially for people with dietary restrictions. Unfortunately, this experience was so bad that it was enough to make me not be a customer again. read more

This is my family's go to pho spot in the area. Customer service is about average and the food comes out fast. Broth is tasty, with a strong beef flavor and minimal star anise/clove aroma that we prefer. Easy parking in the plaza, free wifi, and located next to 99 Ranch to go do groceries after you eat. Bowl of pho is $14-16 each read more

Pho New Saigon - 12. Pho Tai Gau - Vietnamese Near Me - Foster City, California

We order pho and a beef stew, both were good but maybe a little more oily than we prefer. The waiter was friendly and the food came out fast. The restaurant fills up fast with a weekday lunch crowd, but isn't too busy or loud. The plug in air freshener is too strong, the waitress wouldn't unplug it but turned it down which helped. read more

For the san Mateo region it's so HARD finding really authentic asian food. This feels like home and truly is good quality for miles. ma&pa shop are always a great go to when missing comfort food. This place I will always come back to. My favorites are the imperial rolls and soups. Really delicious and hits the spot. Coffee you can definitely taste the coffee and not full of condensed milk which we love. Service is quick and flawless. Ample room for seating inside room for groups and family. Always sweet and kind service. read more

Ate here with a friend this afternoon. Great Pho and a large menu. Reasonable prices and great service. Though not nearly as good as the one that I usually go to in North San Jose. If you love Pho, then this is the place. read more

The food here is great. Beef stew pho. Short rib pho. BunMi Sandwhich. The chicken fried Rice and beef fried Rice is good too. The problem here is The cashiers run their hands fingers thru their hair and rub their nose like they're fixing an itch and rub their forehead when they sweat , then touch the condiments touch the soda touch the napkins wit out washing their hands. Very unsanitary read more

My kids and I had an amazing time at this Vietnamese restaurant! The food was so fresh, it felt like the ingredients had just come from the garden, and the meat was so tender it practically fell apart on the fork. The flavors were spot-on, and we couldn't get enough. Bonus: it's healthy enough to make you feel good about eating way too much! The staff were incredibly kind--like the type of people you wish were your neighbors--and luckily, this restaurant is our neighbors! The whole place had such a nice, cozy vibe. Very clean. If you're not lucky enough to live down the street and walk over like we did, no worries--there's plenty of parking. This spot is a total winner, and we'll definitely be back! read more

When you want Pho in the peninsula you go here. It's very straight forward. Pho and Vietnamese food. Everyone knows how pho service is. Fast! You order and you get your food. They remodeled the place recently I believe and its bright and feels refreshing . Not the beat down old Tap Ex feel. read more

The food is amazing! Always has been. I've been eating here for 12 years! However the woman working behind the counter with Red Hair was rude she asked if I had money before I finished ordering. Then I had to say my order 3 times before she told someone else to take my order. But I'll come back because the food is good but she should not work the register. The woman who helped me is always great as well! The owner is always kind. He rocks!!! read more

Bad experience. There's a language barrier. We ordered fried egg rolls. I pointed at the picture. Brought us vegetarian spring rolls instead. Insisted I ordered vegetarian spring rolls. Wouldn't change it for us. We didn't eat it. They didn't take it off the bill. Through out our meal, another table that was paying voiced the same issue. She said the order was incorrect. They insisted they were correct and charged her for it. My problem is not the food but the service ans experience. It's OK to make a mistake but would not admit it change it for us. Never once apologized read more

Stopped here for a quick bowl of pho before heading to Ranch 99! Service was quick and everyone was so friendly. We ordered number 12 large and imperial rolls. The the rolls were a bit too dense and the skin was quite thick. The bowl of noodles were solid and the meat was soft. read more

Pho New Saigon - 12. Large Tai Gau - Vietnamese Near Me - Foster City, California

We were in the area and craving soup so we gave this restaurant a shot even with the reviews it had. To start- service was nonexistent. We sat down, and waited a long time before we got tired and went up to the counter t order our meals but other tables did get their orders taken at the table really fast so that put us off in the beginning. Food did come out fast, we ordered pho and bun Bo hue. Pho was not bad, the broth was light but tasty and didn't even need much else but it didn't have a lot of noodles or meat for a large. The amount was more compared to a small MAYBE a medium. Bun Bo hue wasn't good. It was just pho and pho broth and some spicy oil. Very disappointed in the taste and price because it was a lot pricier than pho but really that's what I ate. read more

Quick take: Okay pho The restaurant is spacious and well lit. I like the places with all the utensils stocked on the inside of the table. This way I don't have to ask for anything. Just double check everything to make sure it's clean. It was a Friday night and the place was busy enough. Not too busy to be seated right away. Lots of patrons from the karate studio next door. Pho broth was ok. The size small bowls are kinda small. Lol At other places I can't fi ish a bowl. I ate everything at this place. Not a bad spot for pho but not the best. It's kinda pricey but that's the case everywhere in the Peninsula. read more

Always a great pho at a reasonable price. Nice people too. Comfort food every 2-3 weeks.

We always enjoy the food and they always follow any notes (replacing salad with more rice) in my DoorDash orders

I genuinely enjoy this Pho place and find it to be very comforting. The Pho broth here is clean and simple in my opinion, adding your choice of sauces and side dishes to eat alongside your soup is just a great combo. I typically order the #1 it comes with all the fixing of beef that they have especially my favorites, tendon and beef meatballs. It's served with your side veggies and upon request they can give you more. Beef Banh Mi - The beef is seasoned nicely and the fresh jalapeño, carrots, greens and mayo balance the flavors out into the fresh bread. Their chicken wings are simply fried, not much seasoning that it over other chicken flavor but enough to not be plain. The sauce that it's served with is the show stopper lol such a great match, crispy goodness dipped into a sweet and tangy sauce. Thai tea is refreshing and of course sweet but if you let the ice melt a bit it's just perfect after your meal. Service is direct, fast and clean. The man who takes your order is always attentive, you pay at the register after you finish ordering and eating your meal. I definitely recommend this place, very cozy and fulfilling. read more

Service - Very disrespectful. In your face disrespectful as if you are a bother. The older gentleman was very nice and helpful. The older lady was very rude and made me feel like I couldn't ask one question. Literally didn't hide it. Won't be back. If you can treat guest this way I can't trust you with my food. I really hope someone talk to her. She could be management or the owner either way terrible customer service. I felt very uncomfortable and could not wait to walk out! I hate to leave a bad review but it needed to be said! :( read more

Place isn't fancy looking but the food is delicious. They've become our staple go-to place for pho and similar meals in Foster City. We always get takeout, so we can't comment on service etc. but the pho is flavorful and fresh (we tend to get #8 with extra beef), as are the fresh spring rolls. read more

This place has been our go-to for a while now. I always get the vermicelli and it's one of the best. Their appetizers are all good and we usually either get the chicken wings which are huge and delicious, the spring rolls, and recently the shrimp cakes which are soo good. The staff is pretty friendly and there is never a wait when we go read more

After a thorough teeth cleaning with my long-time dentist, my stomach grumbled and I realized I hadn't eaten all day. I wandered down through the strip mall looking at different food options until finally settling on this little Pho shop. I tried the #11. It came out fast and hot with all the accoutrements. The broth was gentle, yet flavorful. There were so many yummy noodles and enough meat to make it very satisfying. The prices are decent, too. I'll definitely be back for more. See ya there! read more

Moved to the peninsula 2 years ago from the east bay and was struggling to find a good pho spot since all the good ones are in SJ. The pho here is so good plus I love that they have the green onion oil and vinegar onions. I actually love their bun Bo hue! I eat a lot of BBH at home so they got the broth down perfectly. Service is fast and your typical ma and pop shop vibe. Place is spacious and pretty clean. My go to spot for now! read more

If you like shiitake you should get the spring rolls- they're so good, especially with the chili sauce. I also really liked the vegan pho, which came with fried onions which really gives it extra flavor. Food came out really quickly and the staff was friendly. read more

Was feeling under the weather so decided to have lunch here yesterday. I arrived before noon so the service and food was very quick which was nice. I ordered a small number 12 (Tai Gau) the broth was flavorful and most importantly hot! I really enjoyed the bowl just wish it had a couple more pieces of brisket, I probably should've ordered the large size. The place/decor is set up like most traditional viet spots I've visited but it's definitely clean. I'll definitely have to come back to try their vermicelli plate next time. read more
