I love this place, it was my first time going and honestly food and service was amazing. Especially my server Isella she was the sweetest and very accommodating to my friend's allergies. Overall highly recommend!! read more

First time having Pho & at this location. I can't believe how many people were coming in and out of this place. It was so busy yet my service was surprisingly fast. It's a clean and cute restaurant, the staff was wonderful and welcoming to all my questions and had some nice recommendations. The food was excellent and so flavorful. I had some egg rolls and pho with chicken. The broth was delicious. I got the small and it was plenty to have left overs. read more

I kept it simple and only ordered the spring rolls. They were good, but not quite what I was expecting -- I'd seen photos online with crispy pork inside, but mine didn't have that, so maybe I ordered the wrong thing. The flavors were nice, but the lettuce inside had a pink tint, like it was on its last days, which was a little off-putting. Overall, decent, but not enough to wow me this time. read more

This place is fairly new and is already in poor shape. Dirty windows, grimy tables, dirty floor, stinky bathrooms with empty soap dispensers. Greasy meanus.. If this is what the public can see, I'd hate to see behind the scenes. Not enough noodles in the pho. Not enough meat on the sandwich. Wouldn't return. read more

Ordered a 14$ fried rice. It was only half full. I don't even think there was 3$ worth of ingredients in it. I ordered the pho. And it's getting worse! read more

The Pho - Fried rice - Vietnamese Near Me - Modesto, California

Such a big disappointment. I was in the mood for a quick to-go meal for the cold weather and this is the closest pho spot near me that I can order off GrubHub. By paying over $14 for a large bowl of Pho I would expect what it is described as. A large bowl of pho. Unfortunately, this was not the case and the whole meal seemed like a small. Compared to several other pho locations I have been to this was not a size large. There was more broth than noodles and I was able to eat everything in a few bites. Not only were there not enough noodles, but they only gave me two pieces of basil leaves. The lemons were super tiny too. While I was waiting for my food I saw the portions more standard when dining in. Customers should expect the same experience and portions at takeout. It seems they were being very skimpy and not providing enough care to people who dine out. I will not be back here unless they change their consistency and portion size. read more

I door dashed it so I can't comment on the dining experience. The food however was great. I got the beef pho like three times last week because it was the only thing that made me feel better when I was super sick & I loved it every single time. I know it aided in my recovery, the broth is just that good. My only critique is that sometimes they include sauce/toppings and sometimes they don't, so if that's super important to you, make sure you ask for it. read more

NOT even Phoking close to Pho... A coupon from a different service led us away from a Boss of a Pho joint (initials are VNE) to this crime against humanity. Mrs. is much more forgiving than I am about Pho as She usually orders boring Chicken so I never know if it's good or not because I crave Tendon, Tripe, Brisket, Raw cuts, and those spongey little beef balls (there ARE good ones out there). First offense: There was no discernible difference between a large and a medium/regular. A paltry amount of rice noodles, lemon, and Basil. The jalapeños looked like a child had cut them, irregular thicknesses are not helpful as that delicious berry(yes, it's a berry!) I eat breakfast lunch and dinner should not overwhelm a bite of Pho. Second Offense: The broth may as well have been Campbell's beef broth heated up in a microwave. No salt, no spices, no depth, no Soul. This one really grinds my gears as everyone who knows Pho, knows the broth is the foundation. It's what makes all the other ingredients shine. Third Offense: Temperature. This one is egregious to say the least. They didn't bother to bring it to proper temperature so there was no way it was gonna properly cook the overly tenderized bottom barrel raw beef they included. I like to see my deli cups nearly melting from the heat of a proper broth Fourth Offense: The aforementioned "beef product" was so far gone I couldn't tell if it was chuck or round (and I'm a former Butcher). It was mechanically obliterated to the point when it hit the broth, it turned to a bloody ball of snot. I'm trying to be nice here people, it was that bad. The rest of the beef ingredients were just as bad. Overcooked round I could've have made a pair of shoes if I had just ordered extra. The tendon/cartilage was just bland texture. NO TRIPE?! What gives The Pho?! And those spongey little beef balls? Not the good ones. More bland industrial sponge plant product. It could be worse though, there are industrial rubber plants kicking out those bad boys too. read more

Tried this place when it first opened years ago and didn't come back because the pho wasn't great and prices were high. Decided to come back and try again on a Sunday at 1pm and the place was pretty empty. Walked in and wasn't greeted, dirty dishes left on many tables. Host put menus on a table so we sat down. 10 minutes later still no server decided to leave. Guess I'll have to wait another 5 years to try again. read more

4.25 stars My husband and I were in the area and he was in the mood for Pho. We asked a friend and they recommended this place. It's in a large shopping mall, so we found parking quite easily. First impression, it's a big open space and looks pretty clean. The server/host was quite nice and we were seated right away. There were only a few people in, as we went in late afternoon. The first thing I did was use the restroom. I was quite happy, as it was clean. However, I hate when bathrooms don't have paper towels and air dryers. Just a preference because I don't like touching the door handle once I've washed my hands. Here's what we ordered: - Beef pho - Combination appetizer plate, 2 egg rolls, 2 shrimp rolls, and 1 shrimp spring roll - Shaking Beef, came with a side of pho broth - Taro Milk Tea - The pho broth was delicious. Lots of depth in the flavor and it was unlike any broth we have had before. - The combo appetizer plate was perfect-sized. Everything was good. The shrimp rolls were super yummy as well. The spring rolls weren't the best we ever had, but they weren't terrible. - The Shaking Beef, DELISH. If you are Asian, you know what I mean by good rice. Their rice was GOOD rice. Jasmine is unmatched in my opinion. The beef was so tender and flavorful and was the perfect amount of savory and sweet. The side of pho broth was the perfect addition. - The reason I gave them 4.25 stars, is because of the Taro Milk Tea. One, she forgot to give it to us during our meal. I had assumed maybe she didn't hear me order it, so I didn't bother asking because I decided I would be okay without it. However, when my husband paid for the meal, we were charged for it. Instead of refunding it, I told her we could wait for it. Her forgetting it -.25 stars, but they also had no boba. Ugh, so I deducted another .25 stars. The reasoning for the last deduction of .25 stars was it just wasn't that good. It was too sweet, thick, and didn't really taste like taro. I don't know if we will ever be in the area again, but I would definitely give it another go and try some of their other items. If you're in the area and craving some Pho, try this place out. read more

Family Vietnamese dinner on Monday, 9/4/23 @ 7:30 pm. A party of 10 , was seated immediately. The place is spacious and roomy. Waitress brought us water. Then she came back and took our order. Food came out pretty fast . What I ordered: Egg rolls - was good and crispy Calamari - good Pho đặc biệt - good Rice combination (pork chop, 2 grilled shrimps and egg rolls) - was good Vermicelli combination (grilled pork, grilled chicken, egg rolls, and 2 grilled shrimps) - not good Bo Ne- sizzling plate with beef, sausage, Sunny side eggs and a bread- was good Bo lúc lắc (shaking beef with rice)- was good All in all, I would say it's ok. Something to satisfy your Vietnamese cravings. Pho broth was good - didn't seem to have much msg in it Rice plate was good- meet was grilled to taste Vermicelli bowl was not! Since I had this bowl, each piece of meat was either chewy, fat, skin or super dry- not in my favor. I would come back but will try another dish. But overall, it's good. Waitress was attentive. read more

Please note that all pho is made with BEEF broth. Chicken pho is served with beef broth. They only make beef and vegetarian broth. Service is awful, waiter was about to take our order and then told us to wait because someone else walked in and went to help them instead. One in our party requested to have a different dish instead of the chicken pho (which had beef broth) and we could hear the waiter getting yelled aggressively. He returned with his head down saying "we can't do that" after waiting 5 minutes while overhearing the chef go ballistic, the waiter came back and said they can exchange it all of the sudden (they saw us about to leave). At that point it was too late. Terrible service, very unprofessional. Will never return or ever recommend. read more

Walked in and was seated immediately. Ordered a Thai tea, deep fried shrimp rolls, and the #1 (small) . Food came out pretty quick. The Thai tea is pretty good, even without Boba (I know shame on me). Deep fried shrimp rolls were pretty darn good, hot crispy, and just as you'd expect them to be. The combo #1 was solid. Definitely not the best Phó I've had but far from the worst. The broth just needed a little hoisin and siriracha to bump it up a notch. This is one of those places with a fun name. I mean The Phó haha... Has a great name like Phó King (which is amazing btw) down in Monterey. I'll more than likely come back again to try their other phó options and/or grab some spring rolls after a Dr appointment across the road. Service was good, food filling and tasty. What is not to like? read more

Horrible service, both girls were rude especially Alexa with a attitude not only me, but other customers as well, with looks and eye rolling like "more customers " food was chewy and over cooked. These kids have no respect for anyone not even them selves read more

this place is straight up terrible straight up rude zero consideration for their customers. It was a few employees in there that seemed not enthusiastic to even serve their customers. i feel like my time was being wasted and i was being treated like i was a huge liability. I was also in formal attire which was already embarrassing enough. Place has Bad Feng Shui anyways. But shoutout to the cooks the food is fire. Work on your staffing because it seems like miraculously nobody can actually get a table. The experience was again, totally embarassing. And I felt looked down upon and cast aside. read more

Food was really good. Restaurant is large so there isn't a long wait. Want to come back and try the other items.

Patrons beware! My family and I went to this restaurant, and the service was horrible. When we ordered, I noticed the menu stated there's an 18% gratuity added for parties of six or more. We split the bill -- mine included me, my wife, and two kids, and the other bill was for my brother-in-law, his girlfriend, and their child. Despite splitting the checks, we were both charged the 18% gratuity on top of the tip we already left. When I questioned it, the staff just said, "It's been our policy for three years." No effort to make it right. The food wasn't that great either. Never going here again, especially when on separate checks, they are implementing 18% gratuities. Don't waste your time. The food is not great. The service is horrible There are plenty of better PHO restaurants in Modesto. read more

I ordered a 13 person catering order from this location for a lunch and was surprised when it was over half an hour late as when asked at lunch when will it be ready they had no idea the order exists even though it was confirmed the night before and the morning of. Horrible expierence as everyone at the lunch event left to get lunch somewhere else and I was stuck with this large catering bill. read more

I've been here a few times, but I was most disappointed my last visit. It is a nicely decorated space, and the atmosphere The Pho is trying to create is an upscale Vietnamese restaurant. We were seated quickly, but I was disturbed to see we were surrounded by uncleared tables full of dirty dishes. The dishes at the nearby tables sat there unattended almost the entire length of my meal. The workers seemed to just ignore the dirty dishes and pretended they weren't there. We ordered the fried tofu for an appetizer. It was all wrong. The breaded coating was so thick, heavy, and overpowering. When I took a bite, it felt like I was just eating greasy fried dough with a hint of tofu. I ordered the #2 pho with filet mignon and flank. The broth is pretty flavorful, but the meat was not good quality. I didn't like how the meat was all twisted and stuck together. They also give you lemon on the side not lime, which was untraditional. My Fiancé ordered one of his favorites - the bun bo hieu. He said it was not authentic (it is supposed to be spicy and it was not), and the broth was lacking flavor. The Vietnamese coffee was $6, seriously overpriced for the quality of what you get. My friend got the shaking beef for her meal. It was tasty and the beef was tender; however, it was too small of a portion to be considered an entree. Realistically, it would have been a small appetizer to split, and I wish we had been told that so she could have ordered something else. My friend was still hungry after eating that ridiculously small portion. Our waitress was also unhelpful and apathetic when we asked her questions about the menu. We left feeling unsatisfied with our meal and are not planning to return. read more

I'm giving this place a 5 star because Every time I come here I'm always greeted, and seated pretty fast. And the ppl that work there are really nice, specially a young woman Rayna, always has a smile on her face and really kind. The service is A1. Now for the food I come here for the beef pho the number 4 and i come across town for it. Love the flavor here, I been to soooo many pho places and this one stands out compared to the other 20. read more

High end Pho, family ran Lovely decor, and potentially nice date spot Lots of seating for big groups, and the music playing was pretty current. I think I may have caught them on an off day, as they were out of Basil. ( sadly this is my primary reason to live Pho ) I also tried the vegan spring rolls, for some reason they took 25 minutes to be made? The peanut sauce was flavorful, and more than enough was provided for dipping. My Pho came out, I had the #4 Pho Large bowl, a very good price at $13. It was loaded with meat and meatballs. The filet mignon was tender, but the meatballs were very dense, and sadly they did not get finished. The broth was tasty, and with the provided sauces at the table, it was easy to dress up the bowl just as I liked it. Overall there are many items to pick from, and the location is very nice. I just caught them in a bad foot. I would recommend to lead with any major missing mewl items, before patrons order. read more

$17 ($16.80 to be exact) for a bowl of pho is too much.... I understand prices go up.. but my bowl of pho maybe had 3 pieces of meat for a large and not much noodles. People work hard for their money and I wouldn't mind paying this much for a hearty bowl of pho.. but it barely had any noodles or meat and then gave me hardly any bean sprouts or jalapeños. My server was very kind though. read more

I've been coming to this phô place, last Monday I came... I tasted the soup (which is one of my favorite freebies ) differently... it's lacking its flavor, maybe the star anise or something makes it sweetly oriental flavor... the chicken looks smaller than the usual... I normally also prefer avocado with crystal boba, last time I, well second time in two weeks I came , no avocado :( . The younger server is sweet and the ambience still the same... read more

Definitely a fast food pho place. Ordered online to go not only did I get a hair in my food but the bean sprouts looked less than desirable and that's being generous. The lemons had a brownish tint. The broth was good. That was about it. Had they taken the time to make sure their produce was at least fresh I'm sure they'd acquire more stars. Not even one green onion let alone maybe two pieces of white onion. Disappointed. read more

Nice that it's located in a brand new plaza recently built from ground up around last year or so. Plenty of parking spaces! Restaurant interior is nice upscale looking, very roomy with lots of seatings, but kind of empty! Feels like a ghost town, perhaps 'cause I came on a Tuesday afternoon while most everyone is at work?! For a brand new restaurant, very roomy with lots of seatings, I was expecting a Menu FULL of different VARIETY of dishes! On the contrary, Menu was very limited - few noodle soup choices, very few rice plates, some few veggie items/appetizers, drinks and that was it?! Ordered Small Pho #4 and Rice Plate #11 (BBQ Short Ribs). Overall, the food was good! The pho came out looking "not very appetizing" to me, but to my surprise tasted pretty fresh and good. Looks can be deceiving! Everyone is different - while beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, food is according to the mouth of the beholder! While other pho lovers commented here that they've had better pho somewhere else, I too am very picky when it comes to Pho and this place is one of the better Pho places I've tried for Modesto area? Btw, been in Modesto all my life since 8 yrs old (3 decades ago). Will still come back when am too lazy to cook my own Pho at home and in a mood for To-Go! read more

I was down L and was craving a good Pho noodle as it's very healing to me! My usual spot was closed, but I decided to order from here because it was open pretty late. I got the vegan pho with soft, white tofu. Let me say this is one of the cleanest broths I have ever tried, and it had the perfect amount of noodles to the vegetable ratio. I highly recommend ordering from this place if you like fire. Next time I will try the meat to get a feel for it! Please try it! read more

The Pho - Vegan pho with soft tofu - Vietnamese Near Me - Modesto, California

Ordered to-go for two the other night and they clearly had just made it through a rush so I'll have some grace for the wait. But the floors are dirty and there's boxes of supplies visible everywhere. Never a good sign. Our egg roll appetizer was good. Nice and crispy, no complaints. The pho however was awful. Our noodles tasted old and stale, the broth has basically no flavor at all. Needed tons of add ins to be even fine. I had the beef and meatballs and the beef was fine if a bit stingy on portion but the meatballs were like eating a boiled stress ball. No flavor and super rubbery, my wife's chicken was grey and really unappetizing though I don't think it was spoiled. There's much better cheaper pho all over. Avoid this place read more
