After coming here for years with my parents (since they opened) I always noticed something the same. It's their customer service towards none Vietnamese speakers. They also seemed annoyed if you don't tip big. Anyways . I went to go get food after a long road trip . My girls were hungry. So I brought him here. I ordered their "Korean bbq short ribs" it's about 18 ish? With tax , probably 20 dollars or so. See picture if you think it's worth that much. I don't think this is "Korean short ribs" it's more like thinly slice beef . They sometimes get our orders wrong after ordering here for years and they seem to get mad at us that someone fcked up their order. Ambiance is not friendly after a while. You would think they will be nicer to people who come here so often. read more

best pho in the world. great customer service and food. Open late night and very nice people.

Generous servings of piping hot, delicious pho served in a bright, clean space. Loved the pho dac biet ($15.75) and the house special fried shrimp rolls ($9.50). Great service and late hours. If you're in the Berryessa neighborhood, please check it out. read more

Solid pho restaurant. It's well maintained and clean inside. Friendly and efficient service. Acceptable prices. Good selection of menu items. Plus it's very close to the 680 freeway entrance so a breeze to get home after eating a piping hot bowl of noodles. read more

This pho spot is very solid and the broth is very homey. The ingredients always tasted fresh each time and the pho comes out pippin' hot! I recently tried their BBH and it was pretty good too. Service is always very kind. They have outdoor seating available and there's plenty of parking. read more

I order 3 soup today at Pho Tay Do. The waitress is so disrespectful and not even willing to explain to me on which one is which. Then I ask her nicely if they have a packet of hot sauce and she loudly say NO! That looks like that I owe her for buying food from them. OMG! This is the first Vietnamese place that don't carry hot sauce for to go order and very disrespectful staff. I am very sure this is the first and my last order in this place. This PHO TAY DO in Berryessa is now banned for me and all my family not to order here. They might spit on my food too. Very likely. Good bye! Haha. It shouldn't have a rating to rate this place. I regret ordering here plus very expensive! read more

Our party of two came in on the Sunday evening and decided to try their pho and the rice plate. Got a small #4 pho which is the well-done flank and brisket. It was served very quickly. Loved the steaming, fragrant hot beef broth that's not overpowering with any particular spices. Yet it was really flavorful and super delicious! I guzzled down the broth after devouring the noodles and meat! Although I wasn't I'll or anything, the whole time I was enjoying the broth I was thinking about it's potential of being the ultimate elixir to cure all ailments! We also got the marinated cubed filet mignon - aka "shaking beef". Succulent and tender pieces of filet that gave us so much joy eating them! Looking forward to returning to Pho Tay Do and trying their other dishes! read more

Easy local Pho in Berryessa no need to go all the way to Vietnam town when it's so close to home and with extended hours. I always choose the bun style bowls while my family likes the traditional pho. We always love to order the crispy spring rolls or the tofu skin over shrimp appetizer. It's just comfort home style good food that is needed anytime. They also have rice plates. smoothies and boba as well. read more

Arrived with my sister around 11:45 am; brought my dad along Since it was a wednesday lunchtime, there were only a few people there The nice thing about the restaurant was that there were two big screen TVs featuring the local news on both I think. The service was good and the food was good For the three of us, we ordered the vermicelli with lettuce, pork, and fried egg rolls. read more

Excellent pho! Soup was super clean and flavorful. It's good soup when there isn't oil left in your lips. Generous size and good prices. Clean and nice people (can't say that about most pho places). Their menu had so much more too. I definitely want to try it all and will certainly be back. This place will probably our new spot! read more

Local Pho spot. Chill ambiance and good, fast service. I always get the chicken soup or a rice plate and it's flavorful and consistent in taste. Boba drinks are good too. Private parking lot with outdoor seating. Always a good choice for dine-in or take-out. read more

Terrible sevice i've seen ever! I call to place a large group order (over 70 pho actually) try to speak with manager or owner just want to make sure if they can handle the order, if so we can process smoothly, server said" no one here, don't call again ok?!" and she just hang up the phone, i thought she might think this is the spam call, then i call the store again, She was sooooo rude and said " i say dont call again" and hang up the phone again. I was use my personal number which start at area code 408. extremly disappointed. It was happened just today 3pm, won't go this place ever, cant imagine how she gonna serve the walk in customers. read more

this pho place is soooo good!! I love the service here because they care about you , and this has been my childhood place that i have rediscovered and it is still sooo good. read more

TLDR: Recommended by a Vietnamese Friend. Pretty good. What can I say? I'm not vietnamese. But I have a very good vietnamese friend, so if you don't trust an outsider's perspective, than trust him! I like it because it's clean! That is pretty much my only criteria. I usually order a rice plate. It's good size, fills me up pretty well without over-doing it. The prices are reasonable as well. The place used to be a Taco Bell, from long long ago. The center is right near the freeway entrance, so it's kinda convenient. Only downside is there's not that much parking space available. My friend always orders the pho, and he says it's pretty good. There's not much else to say... They take credit cards, which is always a plus in my book. The wait staff are friendly. The food doesn't come out FAST like Pho Kim Long, but it's not super slow either. And best of all, it's not that crowded. So if you're in the area, perhaps buying some Christie's Donuts, or working out at the super-expensive gym right behind this place, stop by here for a healthy quick bite to eat. I don't think you will be disappointed. read more

This place has had quite a few name changes and I never came here for pho despite living so close by until it became Pho Tay Do. My laziness to drive further for pho led me here and I'm glad it did. I've been here a few times and it's a solid pho place. There are many good places for pho around San Jose. My favorite places usually have something unique that make me come back. But Pho Tay Do is closer to home and meets the standard of good pho for me, so it's definitely going to be a place I'll frequent in the future. They also offer a variety of other food in case you're not feeling like pho, which is a nice option to have. read more

food was fine but the experience was upsetting because after I paid, the server said she forgot to charge us for the 3 drinks that we got (Thai teas and soda) and it was fine. So we gave her our credit card to pay for it. Then later when receiving the itemized receipt, she realized she actually did charge us initially. I then asked her to just refund it on the card and she said she couldn't because they were using a new payment system that doesn't allow refunds?!? I've literally never heard of this! What kind of payment system doesn't allow you to get refunds? We are literally in 2024. She asked, we can give you the drinks again like two more Thai teas and a soda. I told her we weren't interested in getting another set of drinks and just wanted our money back. I asked her maybe she can give a cash refund and she said that they had no cash because they've been only receiving credit card payments all morning. I felt like this was a lie. How can a business carry no cash? How would they give change to their customers? It's just so upsetting and it felt like we got scammed. read more

One of the best Vietnamese Pho Restaurants that I've been to located in a tightly knit business whereas parking is very limited best time come by early and avoid the hassle. Service has been top notch, friendly staff excellent meal reasonable prices and they do provide outdoor dining. Came by this morning only one other customer order #46 Com Tom Ga Nuong (Grilled Shrimp BBQ boneless chicken over steamed rice) for $14.25, A5 Tom Chien Bot (fried shrimps serve with a cup of sauce) and B1 Vietnamese iced coffee with condensed milk for $5.25 so refreshing yet not too sweet. For complimentary a bowl of pho soup. The interior is quite spacious but very sunny the server was kind enough to draw down the shades though enough to provide a view. Definitely highly recommend to my friends and co-workers. Wished them success and good fortune so please support your local business. read more

Idk why this place has low reviews other than maybe they should close earlier. Got Pho #12 & 13, crispy eggrolls (A2). All fresh and delicious. Our new go to pho restaurant read more

This is a doordash order. I got a BBH and it did not seem like BBH. The broth seemed very similar to pho broth where it contains hints of cinnamon and other spices not found in BBH. Maybe they used it as a base or something. There were also no pig feet or pork blood, just beef and pork in the fixings. Overall, it was disappointing. read more

Our usual pho place was closed the day after Christmas, so we went here instead and so glad we did! They were very busy with only two people on the floor. Service is what you'd expect from an authentic Vietnamese restaurant, and we didn't mind waiting for them to get to us. Especially when the food was delicious. My mom even said that the pho broth tasted like hers - which is a huge compliment. My pho dac biet was truly special. My favorite part was the tripe. One star off due to the lack of vegetables and my dad said that his short rib was a little too fatty. They only gave us a single branch of basil for both of me and my mom's pho. We asked for more, but I've personally never had that happen at a pho restaurant before. We will definitely come here again. They were busy for a reason! read more

How did this place get a 4 star?? This place is disgusting, representing Vietnames food in all the wrong ways. Pho ga was disgusting, the noodles they use were hard and bland , the chicken was "desert chicken" dry like the Sahara Desert, the broth was not authentic, it's like they used can broth. The beef noodles are the same, bland, and lack of flavors. This is not authentic pho for sure. The customer service was even worse. The server rolled his eyes when I asked him," Is this a small or large?" Since both of the bowls looked the same when I ordered one large and one small. Sorry to say, but how did they manage to open a restaurant? Disgusting. NEVER AGAIN. read more

I got takeout for my family on a weekday lunch. We ordered their #2 pho and #21 hu tieu. Although I think they gave us #20 hu tieu ga instead without all the fixings but it's okay because it was still good. My family has been looking for a new local pho spot and I think this could be it! We paid $32 total for two entrees. read more

This place is amazing. My boyfriend and I come here at least once a week. We always order 2 Large Pho, side off egg rolls and 2 lemon soda Chanh. The pho broth is savory and delicious. The lemon soda chanh is to die for! The staff here have great customer service and always make sure I have what I need. I give it 5 out of 5! I never feel not satisfied here! The atmosphere I love it, reminds me of a mom and pop shop. I'm all for it! We will be coming back as always read more

It's a charming small restaurant but I was a little disappointed that I didn't enjoy the food here as much as everyone on yelp seemed to. I've tried the cha gio, hu tieu, and pho dac biet. The cha gio was pretty good, though a little bit on the greasier side - I wonder if the oil temp was too low. The hu tieu was a little plain in flavor and a "large" size seemed to have more noodles/broth, but not more meat/seafood. The meat in the pho was fine but the broth had a strange funky sour taste to it (not any added lime/lemon) that I didn't like. Seems like maybe I just went on an off night ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ read more

Maybe the experience is better here on weekends. Ordered take out for weekday evening and my broth tasted extremely salty and oily. Noodles were good texture, more firm, which is what I prefer. Brisket was really tough and dry. I probably wouldn't come back but gave an extra star because they are open late Thursday - Saturday (until midnight, I believe) read more

This has become our go to spot for pho and all their other menu items, especially after a good swim or workout from across the way. Servings are pretty good and have never been disappointed with their flavors. I'm kinda hooked on their vegetarian noodles, but when the weather is right, I go straight to the pho. Kids love the KBBQ too. Spring rolls are fresh and the egg rolls have that perfect crisp and flavor especially with the vegetables they are served with. Service is fast and very kind and I absolve the music choices they play. I'd say overall it's a great experience, but it is kinda on the pricey side. I'd really give a 4.5 if I could. Still love the place though and shout out to my Thursday crew! read more

The noodles were halfway cooked. Very quiet and awkward setting. All you hear is the slurping and sniffing from people around you. I don't know if it's my phone, but there is little to no signal. They have guest Wi-Fi, but the host does not know the password. read more

It was an hour before closing and we stopped by hoping to grab a bite before heading back into the city. Since it was late, I just ordered a small bowl of pho with rare beef and tendon. I know it was a small but a small was kid-sized and it only had 4-5 pieces of meat. When they say rare, I would think the meat wouldn't be overcooked. By the time the noodles reached me, it was well done. So I got a small bite of hard, tough meat and 2 pieces of hard tendon with a handful of noodles. Thankfully it was late, so the amount didn't matter. But the meat should not have been that tough. Broth was ok. At least I wasn't really thirsty after eating my noodles. My bf had a large bowl of pho which he said was ok. He also thought there wasn't much in the bowl compared to other restaurants. We definitely get better in the city! I thought most pho places in SJ were good since they have competition. I'm assuming people come here for grilled meat and karaoke and not for pho. read more
