We arrived around 5pm on Tuesday, it was pretty slow and the server greeted us immediately and took our order. We didn't take long to peruse the menu. We ordered the pork gyozas and the pho, one meat lovers and one steak. As well as the Vegan Bao Buns. The pho broth alone, was incredible. Flavorful and light before adding any additional sauces. I usually don't devour pho in one sitting but this was just too good to not finish. The Bao buns were also surprisingly very tasty and savory with a hint of sweetness. And the gyozas were just the cherry on top. With the many options for pho in this area, I highly recommend you stop by here. The small dinning area is not only comfortable and vibrant, but has an amazing mural of anime characters with are delightful to look at when having a meal. Coming back again, and again! read more

I recently had the pleasure of ordering from Ramen vs Pho, and let me just say, my life has been changed. First, let's talk ambiance. As someone who has been an anime watcher for nearly my entire life, I was completely obsessed. Seeing nods to so many childhood favorites made the experience feel so special. From Naruto and Black Clover to Dragon Ball, One Piece, and more, every detail felt thoughtfully curated. It truly feels like a little slice of Japan right here in Fresno, California. Now for the food. To really settle the "ramen vs. pho" battle, I ordered the steak pho while my bestie got the steak ramen and wow, The food was absolutely S-tier. This was some of the best pho I've ever had. The flavors were bold, rich, and layered in a way that felt like they were battling it out with combos I'd never tasted before. The real winner of this fight was definitely me, because I cleared my entire bowl. Lastly, the service was great , as they were very busy when I went, they made sure to frequently reassure my bestie & I that we'd be tended to at their earliest convenience. I also LOVE the diversity of the staff. I seriously cannot wait to come back for more. read more

I've visited ramen vs pho many times in the last few years. I'm actually a huge fan of their milky ramen. I've helped myself to a few appetizers and they've always been delicious. Usually they offer pork or chicken. I usually opt for the pork. However my last visit they ran out of their traditional choices and I was enlightened when they allowed me to add steak to my ramen bowl. It was delicious and perfect. I hope they offer more often as an accommodation. Service here is always nice. Be prepared to potentially wait as seats tend to fill up quickly. Pictured is steak pho and steak milk ramen. We both devoured our bowls. read more

Let's just say I went back to back, I couldn't get enough. I tried a little bit of everything. Top 3 appetizers spicy edamame, pork egg rolls and gyoza (chicken/pork). If you like spicy get the spicy tonkotsu, you can order a regular tonkotsu & add the chili oil to your liking. I personally wasn't a fan of the flavor-pho... the regular pho ‍‍ so good!!! The staff was amazing, I loved all the art painted around the restaurant. The art was painted by their owner & her dad . I will be back with friends. read more

Ramen Vs Pho is a so so experience in a restaurant with bad art. I've tried giving it a whirl once or twice but the food takes a long time and is always mid tier. The ambiance is also a bit messy because it's loud. read more

Was looking forward to trying a new spot, but it did not meet our expectations. Both the ramen & pho lacked of flavor that I've normally eaten. Our server was very rude which affected the overall visit. Service needs to be improved. read more

I placed an order today (September 25th) at 3:14 PM from your location at 3747 W Shaw Ave, Fresno. My order included fried tofu. However, when I received the dish, it was not fried nor properly cooked. I called at 4:32 PM to address the issue. The employee who answered said she spoke with the cook, who claimed she never received an order for tofu. This is concerning, as my receipt clearly lists fried tofu. This response felt dishonest and unprofessional. I've never had an issue with your restaurant before, which makes today's experience especially disappointing. I hope this can be addressed so that future customers (and myself, if I return) don't have the same experience. read more

Pho super salty. They had no ice. They ran out of utensils because it's not washed. The restaurant is dirty.

I used to live down the street from this place. It's so good. The drinks are good and authentic, but pho and the other Ramen soups the service is good and the restaurant looks amazing read more

Service here was terrible! Sat us a a dirty table with used napkins and food in it and they didn't even clean it. We waited for a very long time and two tables came after us and got drinks and food order taken and we were just sitting there like is anyone gonna at least our drink order? After waiting for so long we just got up and left didn't even get the chance to order. Terrible place! Do not recommend. read more

Ramen vs Pho - Sayan Victory - Vietnamese Near Me - Fresno, California

We wanted to give this place a try because of the anime theme. My kiddo is huge into anime. Customer service was good. Food was eh From someone's who's had alot of Ramen and Pho this was not authentic at all. Takoyaki was uncooked in the center outside was golden brown but you bite it and it was all just gooey batter. Pho broth was watered down and had odd flavor and none of the typical spices used in pho and was greasy. Chili sauce had zero spice just extra oil to add on to your already greasy broth. My son had the Tonkatsu Ramen and it was ok We for sure have had better and more authentic Ramen in town. The pork Gyozas tasted like the frozen ones you buy at the store. Overall its not a place we will be going back too the only anime things were the paintings on the wall and food is not something that will bring us back. Plus while driving home got the tummy gurgles real bad not sure if it was the takoyaki or pho broth that got me and ran straight through me. read more

Anime themed smallish noodle joint run by what looks like a group of young friends. Highly flexible and customizable menu makes it a good place for a mixed group of vegetarians and meat lovers. Start with a base of rice noodles, ramen noodles, spinach vegan ramen noodles or rice. Or select a named dish. Either way, add your preferred toppings. Two negatives. They were out of some items that had to be substituted. Narrow walkways and close tables challenging for big people or wheelchairs. A positive: for takeout, able to order ahead from website then pickup. Can't wait to try more things. read more

This establishment has a nice vibe. The service was great. The food (All Meat Pho) was delicious. Need to eat here again!

Uh, I don't want to be mean, but I feel cheated. $5.50+ for 4 Slices of Charsu, but I got deep fried pork... what?? Deep fried is very very different from Charsu Pork Slices. I mean if y'all don't have the product at least inform the customer ahead before placing the order. Won't be coming back. I was really looking forward to the Pork Charsu in my Ramen. Shame. I know it was slightly busy, but that should not be an excuse. Take out order. Ordered in store. read more

A fun little place with all kinds of anime and manga art and inspiration. Even the menu is designed manga style. The waitress was thorough in clarifying our order. The pho and ramen were delivered to us by the chef. The down side was that my ramen broth was a bit salty and they had run out of the pork chashu which meant they substituted it with brisket but it is not the same. I did get an extra egg which was perfectly done, nice and jammy inside. read more

Spicy ramen and crab Rangoon was so fresh and amazing my kids and I loved it and the atmosphere and great customer service!

Second time visiting and second time with bad customer service. I thought the first time that we came here, Maybe we just got a bad server having a bad day now I'm starting to think that most of their employees simply don't care about good customer service. When coming in we asked to sit at a table that was big enough to where we can sit by side-by-side not across from each other. I'm not sure why this was such a put off to our server Joseph. After a big sigh and eye roll, he asked us to sit at the bar while he cleaned off a bigger table for us. After waiting 15 minutes, our table was ready. after we were given menus, we didn't get our order taken for another 30 minutes. The food is great, but the service is bad. It is just such a turn off to come to a place where i love the food only to be treated so poorly. I would recommend takeout or another place in general. Feel free to check out Ramen Hayashi great service great prices and you don't have to wait 45 minutes to place an order. read more

The service here was unacceptable. We came as a party of 4 I believe in first come first serve. They served another party of 4 that came in after us, absolutely unacceptable. My family was treated differently from other customers, and the behavior I experienced felt discriminatory. The waitresses were dismissive towards me and my mother. This is not acceptable for any business. I left feeling disrespected, and I hope management addresses this problem immediately. read more

I liked this place but it is quite far from me to come back for. Like the title they have both options! I got the ramen and liked mines (forgot what I got) but I believe I'd get a different one to try the next time I was around. I should've requested my dessert earlier though because it had to be made from scratch and take 30 mins but I didn't mind the wait since I was craving it and it was delicious and in a nice setup afterall. My only thing was trying to get our server's attention at times when the floor wasn't busy (another table was waiting as well), I'd assume he didn't notice because he was a bit distracted with something else. Other than that, the artwork on the walls were nice to look at! read more

The service was horrible. We called before we went to give it a second chance, and yet again they failed. We really try to support local businesses coming from being in the food industry. There was a table available and the waitress told us to wait outside in the cold mind you at 6:30pm until the table was cleaned. When asked to speak to a manager the young man said we don't have one but the owners husband is there cooking. The owners husband was nonchalant to the customers and their wait times. There were other people who left as well for the rude service and lack of acknowledgment. I'm not asking to cater to me but at least give me some in n out service, not Mc Donald's service. To the owners I understand rush hours and moments where we you may be understaffed, but there are better ways to treat people under pressure. On that note don't forget that the reason you are in business is because of your customers. If I could give a negative number it would be -10, no accountability from anyone in the restaurant. I highly recommend Hayashi on 99 and Herndon or Kurotaka Ramen. After we left went to Hayashi and within 20min we sat had our food and exceptional customer service. read more

First time eating here and it didn't seem too busy but it took us awhile to get seated because she had to clean a few tables for us. Taking our order was pretty long too and I notice she didn't take another customer's order after she took ours and he waited awhile. Ordered a Thai tea and it wasn't good. Watered down, asked for more creamer/half & half to make it better but it was still just the same -- watered down. Don't order the Thai tea. Our food took forever to order too. The table next to us barely got their food and they were there before us. We ordered the spicy tonkotsu ramen. Pretty good but it was a little bit salty for me. Overall, I think that the first experience for us was not that satisfying. The wait time took so long and to get the employee's attention also was a bit hard. Food was okay too. Thai tea, I was expecting to be good but it wasn't. read more

Awesome service and a lively atmosphere. Our large party was sat quickly. We had a variety of appetizers, Ramen and Pho. It had been a busy night so they were completely out of rice. I guess that's what we get for coming late when the food was so yummy. we will return. read more

First visit was amazing. Second visit scared us away for good. Please take care of your employees. This was only our 2nd time here and my goodness your server made it so uncomfortable we just left. It's 3pm on a Sunday. The restaurant was dead. We got there and she was cleaning tables so I politely asked if she can start us off with spicy edamame. She brought out the edamame and waters and continued to ignore us lmao. I can't help but laugh because it was literally that sad. We sat there for 20 minutes became the only people in the restaurant. Again, we were the only people in the restaurant and she just continued cleaning tables ignoring us. Then 2 guys came in and sat. They sat for 10minutes and she didn't even come greet them lol so I was like ok we're never going to get serve and if we do she's probably going to spit in our food because she doesn't want us to be here. I paid for our edamame and left. Oh and the best part, she was cleaning the table next to us and sprayed the cleaning solution on the table and sprayed us with the solution!! lol we just looked at each other and laughed because we were like oh ish this is really happening. She was so unhappy it made it so uncomfortable to be there. We paid for our edamame and left. Our first visit was so good that we returned. The first visit we had spicy tonkatsu and spicy edamame and the service was great. We had a white gentleman who seem to really care. Unfortunately this recent visit just killed it for us. The poor girl/server she hates her job. I hope the best for this restaurant. I hope future patrons don't experience what we did. read more

The food was delicious and the theme is amazing...I'd honestly say it's about a 4 in taste but the decorations alone had me rubber necking.

It's really disappointing to make sure I go in early to eat and leave as soon as possible & for other tables to be prioritized who ordered AFTER me. I ordered before another table waited for 30 minutes just for a table that ordered after me to get their food, makes no sense to me. read more

I was so excited to come here!! The inside was absolutely adorable and the staff was very friendly. I enjoyed the eggrolls. I was very disappointed in the ramen. I wanted to put salt in it which I NEVER want or need to do with ramen, and it wasn't spicy, at all. Not even the slightest bit which was a huge bummer bc that's how I like to have my ramen. Great service but overall not very impressed. read more

Food was great....but because I was running late for my order they had called to see if I was still picking up my order and I said that I was running late and was going to be there shortly but they responded by saying ok but just so you know if you don't pick up your order before we close you and your number will be banned and they had said it with sarcasm and was not happy about that service and how they went about it and I mean I'm spending $22-$36 at a time there and for a small business to treat people that way is beyond wild to me and the ambiance seems not as friendly as I had thought. You just can't come at people like that especially to a customer supporting such a small business read more

Food takes a long time to get to you. Water is pretty gross taste like from a hose. Ramen is pretty tasty but you're sitting so close to another party it's hard to enjoy.
