We ordered the combination pho and the grilled pork vermicelli, and both were absolutely delicious. Their pho comes in only one size--no small or large options like some other places--but the portion is satisfying. The restaurant itself is fairly simple and not particularly fancy, with plenty of parking available out front.

I was going to get Pho but the Bun Rieu looked pretty appealing and it's not a usual item to be offered so I opted for Bun Rieu. My daughter got garlic noodles with beef instead. Both items were very good and filling. I like the fact that I can choose the size of my Bun Rieu as most places only offer one size and it's usually for Pho rather than Bun Rieu. Might try their Bun Bo Hue next time. The place gets pretty packed around lunch time so it's a good sign that it's a popular joint for lunch. We arrived just after 12pm. If we were a little later, we might not get a table at all. There was plenty of parking in the strip mall. There's a cheap gas Arco just around the corner.

Vietnamese restaurants are ubiquitous in the Bay Area, making it difficult to find places that really hit the spot. No fancy castle or horse-drawn carriage here, but I like how casual the inside of the restaurant is. The Princess and the Pea walked so we could run because there are a handful of comfortable seating arrangements. The interior leans more modern while still paying homage to traditional Vietnamese decor. Pho is great and all, but the Three Little Bears have found a new dish that's neither too hot nor too cold -- Bo Ne. Bo Ne is one of my favorite Vietnamese dishes, and it's hard to find places that serve it. Even fewer places do it just right, making me feel like Goldilocks. I love the banh mi that comes with the Bo Ne because it has a thin, crunchy, flaky crust with a fluffy, soft inside that absorbs the sauce perfectly. The steak was tender and paired perfectly with the pâté, giving you that satisfying flavor that constantly has you reaching for more. Once you place your order, the food comes out super fast. No Big Bad Wolf here to blow your wallet down because the prices are affordable and the portions are large. Huff and puff as hard as you can, but this place is here to stay. I would definitely recommend it, and I'll definitely be back. I hope you enjoy this place as much as I do.

Pho Lovers is a solid go-to in Dublin when you want something quick and consistently good…read more Everyone comes for the pho (and it's legit), but don't skip the Bò Né sizzling platter comes out hot with steak, eggs, and that garlic butter sauce...so good. The caramelized pork bánh mì is another win crispy bread, great flavor. Also highly recommend the pho dip bánh mì with oxtail broth super rich and perfect for dipping. Drinks are underrated too grab a sugarcane juice (passionfruit one is ). Ambience is casual and no-frills nothing fancy, but clean and comfortable. It's the kind of spot you come to eat, not hang out, and it does that well. Fast service, no fuss, always hits.

I went to Joe's Pho for a late lunch and was positively overwhelmed by all the delicious options…read moreand great service. Because it was so close to dinner time, I tried to go for something "light" and went with their pork, shrimp, and eggroll vermicelli with an egg cappuccino. Vermicelli was delicious and pretty large! And their egg cappuccino was really good. I was initially going to order their egg coffee, but the waitress recommended the egg cappuccino because it's sweet and not as bitter as the coffee -- I am so glad she recommended this because it was perfect. Strong and sweet (not too sweet, just how I like it). I'd love to come back and try their pho and the many other tasty-looking drinks on the menu. I also noticed that there's a complementary ice cream self-serve area, which is pretty awesome, especially when you have kiddos at the table. Lastly, the ambiance was great. The restaurant is quite spacious. As soon as I walked in, I was seated immediately, given sufficient time to review the menu, and received my meal within 15-20 mins.

It was flavorful, but it could use more depth with lemongrass and other spices. It was also kind of greasy. I got it with the short rib and while it was good, I feel like it could have been more tender. We also got the rice cup cakes and I would skip this. The rice part was too thick and the sauce could be more flavorful. Overall, service is great and they give you free shrimp chips to start, but the food was just decent.

Although the tofu was a little dry and lacked some flavor (had to use sriracha), the chicken banh mi was flavorful and well done, though there was quite a bit of chicken. The fruity matcha with boba was also pretty good as was the Vietnamese coffee, though the coffee was on the strong side. They also sell sesame balls, French bread, and other baked goods as well. We recommend ordering ahead since there is a good amount of people coming in each morning. They take phone and online orders. This is a nice sandwich spot and they have 3 round tables with 4 seats and 4 rectangle tables with 4 seats or so. There is plenty of seating to go around.

The inside interior design is something more akin to a 7/11 grocery store, with a wide countertop displaying colorful and tasty looking Mochinut donuts with the back area for food options. The space is peppered with some two or three person tables as well, with a small display shelf helping to delineate where the line to the cashier starts. Regarding the viet coffee, this one was particularly strong, with a definite higher proportion of coffee to condensed milk that doesn't offend but also risks being a bit TOO strong (wild to say that when all viet coffee at its core is strong). Overall, it's conveniently located, but I think I might prefer to go further south for something with a more balanced taste profile.

The place was nearly empty. They have a pretty large menu here, similar to other Vietnamese restaurants in the area, but they also had specials I'd never seen on other menus, which seem to change out regularly. I ordered the vermicelli with BBQ chicken and an egg roll, which was the perfect amount of food. The chicken was grilled to perfection but still juicy and tender, and the egg roll was crunchy but not overly greasy. I left satisfied with my meal and feeling full with good, healthy food in my stomach. Service was fast and especially given the late hour, and the meal was simple, straightforward, and delicious. No complaints, no issues with anything. Would return again.

This is my favorite place to grab a #9 grilled pork bahn mi. Their baguettes grew bigger too but their portion size of filling grew as well. Their prices increased to $8 but that's inflation for you...can't expect it to stay $4 forever lol. They have other food items but I don't get it that much. Service remains top tier as the workers hustle their way to pushing our sandwiches at top speed. They now offer Zelle as an option to pay but just have cash ready bc signal is not that great.

Bread was 5 stars, toasted and soft inside. 5 stars overall - egg rolls, wow, surprisingly good since it was on the deli and who knows how long it was sitting there. Still crunchy and very flavorful - stuffed bitter melon, wasn't sure if I wanted to try it since the color wasn't vibrant green, but a customer in front of me ordered one so what the heck, I love bitter melon. Wow, full of flavor, the pork filling was excellent, 5 stars Service - took 20 minutes to get our a simple order, not the most efficient, but one must accept this for the price point and quality, but still slow so only 3 stars I would average this out as 3 stars but the food far outweighs the service, just be prepared for a long wait.
