If you're looking for a taste of Hanoi in South Bay, this spot is a great find. As a Viet, I've always felt homesick and my ultimate goal in the Bay is to find a bowl of pho that actually feels like home. I know the purists will say this isn't the authentic Pho Thin Lo Duc, but honestly to me doesn't matter. As long as food slaps and my belly is happy, then I'm sold. My favorite dishes here are pho tai lan and pho tai dap. And 2 sides you should order whenever you have Hanoi pho is quay (fried dough) and poached egg. The broth may not be the best, but it's rich, beef is stir-fried perfectly with signature garlic aroma (it's called tai lan for a reason, and dipping the quay into the soup took me straight back Hanoi. It's rare to find a place in Bay that serves pho with quay, so I really appreciate the authenticity. This restaurant is just comforting, delicious, and for a moment, it made the distance from home feel a little smaller. No matter what other people say, this is my favorite spot in the Bay for sure! read more

Pho Thin Ha Noi - 10. Pho Tai Dap - Vietnamese Near Me - Milpitas, California

Pho Thin Ha Noi is located in a strip mall with decent amount of parking. As you enter the restaurant, it's recently been updated and remodeled. The service was nice, friendly, and attentive. I ordered #14 Pho Tai Gau Bo Vien: Combination Steak Soup. Choice of thin or wide noodles (3.5/5). The clean broth was decent and filled with green onions. Also it was piping hot which unfortunately cooked the raw steak into clumps. The portion-size was fairly good. read more

For nearly $20 a bowl, I expected much more flavor from the pho. Unfortunately, both my co-worker and I found the broth to be bland. The meat (pho tai dap #10) was the only element that added any real flavor to the dish. Service was also lacking. After our order was taken, it felt nearly nonexistent, and I had to actively flag someone down just to get a water refill. With so many great pho options in the area, this spot didn't stand out. Unfortunately, it's a pass for me. read more

Spring rolls got the nice crunch in the middle. Pho was good. I got the special pho with the rib. Service was pretty fast. It's newer inside read more

Pho Thin Ha Noi - Vietnamese Near Me - Milpitas, California

Got takeout so this review is just for the food itself. Tried one of the beef phos which had a decent broth and good amount of meat. The portion sizes here are massive though, way too many noodles. Still pretty good overall but I wish they offered smaller portions since finishing everything is tough. The cơm tấm was excellent. The grilled pork was great and the Vietnamese sausage was also really good. Rice with fish sauce hit the spot and there were some nice pickled veggies, though I could use more of those. The fried tofu piece we got was quite good as well. Everything came together nicely on that plate. Will come back for the rice plate if in the area. read more

I wanted to like this place given limited good pho around the area. The prices are very high, at least $10 for spring rolls, close to $20 for a bowl of pho, etc. The bowl of pho was very big though and came with ton of noodles, broth, and meat. However, the broth flavor fell flat. It was very fishy and the broth tasted diluted beef wise. It's like they compensate the lack of beef flavor with more fish sauce and sodium. Halfway I got tired of it, and just ate the rest of the beef/noodle with as little soup as possible. The meat was OK, not the best quality meat. The workers were not friendly. No smiles. The lady who helped us had OK customer service. She pushed the tip jar towards me when it was time to pay, very rude in my opinion. I tipped via credit card so there was no point for me to tip in cash. Overall we were underwhelmed with our pho and probably wouldn't be back given the very fishy taste of the broth. Also there was a lost bird (parrot?) that flew into their window. The workers didn't do anything to help the bird. We got a cup of water to bring it outside and another customer called animal service to help the bird. read more

The service here was so quick, and the gentlemen who took our order took it super fast but brought everything back accurately. The restaurant was pretty quiet but perfect for just eating and enjoying your company. They offer the thin noodles or fresh noodles, but do not offer the egg noodles. I ordered #13 with the fresh noodles, it was good!! 8/10 in my opinion. My boyfriend order a #11, and we shared spring rolls as an appetizer. Would definitely recommend this place for quick dinning that's still able to satisfy someone's pho craving! read more

Pho was good, service was okay, but there was way too much pressure as a guest. I wanted to pay with card, but kept being told to pay cash instead. Then again, I was told to leave tips in cash and not on card. If there's a cash discount policy, just put a clear sign at the cashier saying: "Cash payments receive discount, card payments regular price." Simple. Instead of repeatedly mentioning it during payment, it honestly made me feel uncomfortable and pressured. And after I spoke up about it, the attitude completely changed. The staff stopped being nice and just stared at me awkwardly, even though I paid for my meal like any normal customer. Just sharing my experience so others know what to expect. Reconsider before going to this restaurant. read more

It's our first time today to try their pho and we got # 14 combination pho. The soup is flavorful and fresh.It is not too salty nor too oily and the steak is tender and not dry at all. Serving size is excellent so it is worth it. I love their Fresh spring rolls and you can tell that it is freshly made. the one that didnt stand out is their egg roll, it is just okay and No wow factor:( overall my new vietnamese pho place and I will be back for more. read more

This place is modern and spacious. There's a decent amount of parking in the plaza. There's a variety of different rice and noodle dishes. The portion sizes here are pretty good as well.

I like the amount of onions they put in the soup. They also have their own special chili sauce. read more

I'm sort of on an escapade to try different Pho places every week. This place has been here for a while so I decided why not go? I ordered a number 10 Pho and enjoyed the dish with delight. The flavor is about as good as anywhere else, you can consider it a fair purchase. Personally I find Pho Thin has the largest bowl sizes even without picking species sizes. Besides the usual, it's a regular restaurant with enough room to move around. read more

This place has the stamp of approval from me and my Vietnamese dad. Their pho is so good. There are not too many northern style pho places so it's nice to have this as an option. The northern style has a lot of green onions which I love. The one I got also cooks the meat with garlic which gives it a nice taste. The worker's are very sweet and are helpful when you have questions. I would definitely give this place a try if you've never had northern style pho before. read more

I took my north Vietnamese momma here and she said it is definitely not northern style since the broth was too sweet. Cua rang be (northern style square eggrolls) - this took forever to come out, and then it was an oily mess on the outside and frozen on the inside. We had to send it back. I don't think their oil was hot enough. Their special stir fry beef pho - the meat was in hard clumps, and not seasoned. Difficult to chew through. My mom ended up leaving all the meat since she couldn't chew through it. Gau bo vien- gau (fatty brisket) super hard to chew through. Bo vien was average. The fresh noodles were amazing, as well as the house made hot sauce. Also the little man who was our server was really sweet. read more

Friendly service and clean inside. However the broth is terrible - very heavy on the fish sauce. That's all I could smell in the pho. And our mouths were very dry after the meal - possibly heavy on MSG? Not in favor of their 1 size only options either. read more

Neighborhood spot that has Viet clients which is a good sign. Large spacious interior with booths. I have been here few times and I usually order the seared flank steak Pho with bits of garlic in there too... luv that they use plenty of scallions, quality is good and you get a side of sliced white onions with your pho, drizzle some hot sauce on there and take some with each spoonful... Next level flavors! Service is quick as usual in Pho spots, decor is a bit more ritzy with lighting accents. It's not the east side level but good enough for Milpitians... read more

The restaurant itself is modern and air-conditioned! Not a huge crowd here because it's tucked away in a hidden plaza, but if anyone frequents the new Pinoy BBQ, I highly suggest checking this pho joint out. Hot sauce and hoisin are in cute porcelain jars. Not sure why that matters but I feel like it takes effort to maintain cleanliness, plus the aesthetic is A+. Aaaaand in fact the hot sauce is ground chili paste, not sriracha. Appreciated! We shared the brisket and steak pho with fresh, wide noodles. The broth was perfectly seasoned, brisket was tender, and since I asked for the steak on the side, so it was done -- with beautiful presentation in mind. Onions were in a sweet vinaigrette (not just vinegar) which is something other restaurants charge extra for. WIN! Insofar as service, I appreciate having ordered just the run-of-the-mill, cheapest pho option and not feeling judged for asked for a small, empty bowl for teh sharingz of teh foodz. Melikes. read more

I have never been to Vietnam, but I tend to lean towards pho bac (Northern-style pho) whenever applicable. I like Dac Phuc, Pho Ha Noi, and Pho Co. When my family makes pho, it's always Northern -style. I cannot get my broth to taste like that. Something I continuously work on. Anyway. I don't get to be by myself much. When I do, I like to eat out by myself. I also like trying new restaurants so this past Saturday after dropping Gavin off to hangout w/ my cousin for a bit, I decided to try this place. This restaurant is took over Com Tam Thien Huong. It is across the street from Fosters Freeze. Clean restaurant. Staff ready to seat you and assist w/ your order. Service was incredibly fast. I didn't get to savior any silence during my time there. I ordered the #1: stir-fried sauté steak soup and an order of their dau chao quay (Chinese savory donut twists). The broth was clean, clear, light aromatics. I can taste the ginger. The sauté steak was tender. The dau chao quay was cripsy, light, and a touch of chewiness. I enjoyed their house made hot sauce. My broth is usually red but since I have never had this, I went mild to save my stomach. It wasn't spicy to me though but that is because I scooped a kid's portion of it into my broth. The pickled onions balanced all of the flavors together wonderfully. I will be back! read more

This pho thin has changed their menu they add more appetizer and rice plate which is much better than before . This is my go to place for delicious pho and broken rice plate . I usually order #34 # 35 rice plate i would say this is the best broken rice restaurant in Milpitas / Fremont area . Portion is really big and i usually can't finish. The spring roll with bbq meat ball is also a must -try appetizer $7.99 , its freshly made and the skin is so soft that i can eat few rolls much better than pho ha noi :) read more

One of the sleeper Pho spots in the Bay. Parking is great, lots of it. The restaurant is huge, lots of seating. Great for big parties. Portions are gigantic, $15 a bowl (Dec 2022) and you'll be full for half the day. This is about average price nowadays but for the size of these Portions, you'd be paying much more at other places. You have to try this place with a mindset that it's something different. The broth is north Vietnamese style where it's not too dense and heavy but rather light compared to the usual southern Vietnamese style pho people are used to. Broth is a bit oily. Menu is short and simple with 3-4 different types of meat. Perfect example of not to overdo and complicated menus like other places. read more

This is the second place where I've tried northern-style pho. I ordered their #1PHÖ THIN TRUYEN THÓNG while my significant other ordered the #3 PHO TÁICHÍN (NAC). Both were yummy but I personally enjoyed the flavor of the #1 more. The soup tasted a bit more seasoned than the #3 (but it could just be my imagination?). We also tried both the fresh noodles and thin noodles. My preference was definitely towards the fresh noodles; I much prefer the bite! We also ordered the spring rolls as an appetizer. I would honestly skip the appetizers here. It was not bad, but it was nothing to rave about. A few tables around us ordered the egg rolls; and it didn't seem that great either. Definitely will come here again. read more

Horrible. I ordered the steak and rib pho and #1 spring rolls but both were terrible. The spring rolls were small and only contained noodles, lettuce, and the shrimp. And for the pho, the meat was undercooked and so tough. They didn't provide any siracha and only gave a lemon, basil, bean sprouts, and raw onions? Where are the cilantro, mint, and chillis? Also the service itself was horrible. Everytime I asked a question the server dismissed it. I would never come here again OR recommend it to someone else. Actually I would recommend against going here. I've never been so offended by a vietnamese restaurant. read more

I would not come here again for the rice plates. Bought 2 rice plates Korean bbq short ribs spent close to 55 dollars to come home to 1 Korean rib cut into 4-5 slices. I rather drive the extra 20 mins to San Jose to get better quality food. read more

One star= Not good After writing such a happy review on my first visit, I hate to share such a low rating from 5 to 1. i bought my lunch buddy, after I raved this place up. The service was very lacking and unfriendly AND only one other set of ppl in there, so they were not busy at all. My lunch buddy ordered a rice plate. The waiter said they are out of that protein. I was embarrassed since we already had unfriendly service and then to hear they ran out. My lunch partner ended up ordering some sort of rice dish with shrimp. Shrimp was ok Now it was my turn. I ordered a pho bowl as I recall the broth and the fresh green onions that Hanoi is known for. The pho was not as I recall it was waterEd down and salty. I was deeply disappointed. I asked for extra chopped up green onions and cilantro and the waiter said it's not available. Perhaps it was a communication language issue but nonetheless I left there so disappointing. I usually never finish. A bowl and take the broth home. But in this case, I did not care to take anything home. I just wanted to leave the bad experience behind. Not sure how they are surviving or if they are surviving or if it's a change of ownership, But it's not as it was when I first enter through their front doors. it certainly has changed and the quality of customer service and the lack of ingredient staples on their already limited menu, does not sit well. I'd have to be convinced to come back and try them again, but right now they're not in my top 5 list anymore. read more

The BEST pho spot in the bay. They serve sweet pickled onions on the side and their hot sauce is a house made Thai chili paste that you can't find anywhere else. Be warned, it is spicier than your typical sambal chili paste but is waaay better than using sriracha. Extra points for steaming their bean sprouts before bringing them to the table (kills e.coli bacteria). Inside was nice and clean. read more

I was in the area and wanted some rice at this location , but I guess they changed. I was hungry and didn't want to drive around so I just gave this place a try. They only serve Pho and a few appetizers like spring rolls and fried chickens. And they even have kid size bowl. The service was fast and efficient (well bc the main dish is pho). The sprouts and mints came out along with the sliced onions (usually most places you have to order that extra cost). Pho was good and the portion was huge. I can say that it was a bit salty in my own taste but still good. read more

I would recommend this restaurant to older folks! The taste of the pho and the fresh rice noodle (highly recommend) reminds me of soup that I would have at home. I would describe it as a very simple and light broth, a taste that my parents would really appreciate! There is a LOT of onions, so if you're not a fan of onions, ask for them on the side or none at all. They also serve the pickled onions on the side as well. I personally loved every sip and my breath was pretty bad, but so worth! Because the broth is so light, they actually serve fish sauce, spicy sauce, and hoisin sauce on the side table if you desire more flavor. The spicy sauce was soooo good, and mixed in with the hoisin sauce, it paired really well with the meat that came with my soup. The portion size was really big, and I think it could be shared with two people with smaller appetites! I came in pretty hungry, and the regular bowl was more than enough to fill me up. Overall, this pho place really stood out to me because I had such a unique experience. The ambiance is very quiet along with the sleepy music, but people around my parents' age would very much enjoy the ambiance a lot. I would definitely be back again if I were in the area! read more

Pho Thin Ha Noi - #1 - Vietnamese Near Me - Milpitas, California

I am super sad Com Tam Thien Huong is gone, but I welcome any new pho restaurant in Milpitas. I was hopeful when checking this place out on a Sunday lunchtime. The restaurant was crowded and lively; we were second on the waitlist. All things looked promising. However, few things I noticed/would want to point out. 1. We were seated, but they definitely looked overwhelmed as they tried to quickly provide placemats, chopsticks, napkins, and soup spoon. 2. The menu is printed on paper and stapled together, but that's fine as they are new and probably trying to finalize it. 3. My order came out wrong as I ordered the one with rare beef, flank, and beef balls. My order came out without any flank nor meatballs. So we flagged down our waiter and let him know. He walked off and we were confused if he was trying to verify what he wrote down, if kitchen messed up, etc. For a couple minutes, I wasn't sure if I should start eating or not.. then after TEN minutes.. my partner went to register to let another waiter know. They came over to look themselves and offered to bring out the missing meat. I was fine with it and just ate the pho while the meat came out. The meat came in a small bowl with soup but the meatballs were not internally hot yet. Overall, I wasn't that mad about the situation but same time left a sour taste in my mouth. Pho is a soup that should be enjoyed while hot and immediately so waiting around for 15 mins not really knowing if I should be eating it or not was not ideal. I don't think I will be coming back but interesting experience none the less. But I do want to note when the waiter did finally come back after 15 minutes, he was nice and chatty however no mention of the situation at all. read more

Nice service as always, all the staff are very caring and helpful. The smell of the broth are amazing, my top choice is number 1 and from what the owner shared they take out all of the fat from the meat manually so for person like me that don't like to eat so much fat this is the best choice. They also just opened the 2nd restaurant where the price of Pho their will be cheaper than this one since it's self-service. But to be honest their price right now is already pretty good with high-quality ingredients, they never charge extra for onion compare to other places. read more
