Friendly greeting as we entered. Daughter loves crispy egg rolls and fresh shrimp rolls so we started with those dishes. Both apps were awesome! Nice and crispy with a tasty filling for the egg rolls. I ordered the Pho #1 and my daughter got the grilled pork rice plate. Good sized servings that came out quickly. Pho broth was rich and flavorful. Lots of beef and rice noodles... the beef was tender. We had two sodas which are served in large metal tumblers. Refills included . All in all, a great pho option in Lamorinda.

There is a lot of parking since it is in the Safeway shopping center in Downton PH. We were sat right away and looking at the menu, a lot of the dishes felt more modern than traditional (when I compare it to other Vietnamese restaurants I go to). Decided to go with my comfort dish, which is Grilled Pork Rice Plate. Grilled Pork Rice Plate: I opted for brown rice for a healthier approach. The pork was cooked perfectly and seasoned well. It was also not dry and had a good amount of flavor to it. It sat on a bed of lettuce, which gave it a nice presentation. Overall, a simple dish which I thoroughly enjoyed and had leftovers after. I had a great time eating lunch with my parents and my partner. I look forward to coming here again.

Took the fam to Pho Viet a couple times, and we all enjoyed it. The quality of the meats in the pho…read morewas noticeably higher quality than a lot of pho we've had, which justifies some of its higher price points. Thai tea was solid. For appetizers, we tried their crispy rolls. The husband couldn't eat these because they had some shrimp in them, but more for the kids and me. Came with a side of fish sauce, and overall was pretty tasty. My son isn't too big on pho, so he tried a pork chop plate and the garlic noodles. He said both were good. He ate it all, so actions match his words there. My daughter mentioned the chicken pho she had contained a lot of chicken and she likes it that way. She also noticed the better quality of meat and bigger portions. Their special pho is an XL size and comes with the shortrib on the bone. I need to come back here very hungry to devour that or at least split that and other stuff with a friend. I've had their other beef pho, and they were good. Def good quality beef. There was a time where I wanted a certain combo without the meatballs and requested they added more of their tendon and tripe instead, but it seems they just took out the meatballs since there were just a couple pieces of tendon in there. The noodles really cooked within the broth. It was interesting since the broth didn't feel too hot as I was able to eat / drink it right away, but the noodles ended up much softer than I'd like. Casual setting here with the tables, cashier, some TV on the walls, etc.

First, parking can be a pain especially during peak hours as this place can get quite busy. With that said, there is plenty of space inside for quite a few people. The menu is straight forward offering all the regular suspects in a Pho restaurant. I went with the normal beef noodle soup and some appetizers. Both items came out super fast and I can understand why as this place is a mecca for to go orders, so quick delivery is a must. Honestly all the food was great, no complaints on my side and a happy belly afterwards. Price wise compared to portion was great too, really nothing to complain about overall. Would happily revisit soon!

This is for sure DEFINITELY the restaurant I've eaten the most at, fun fact: the first restaurant I…read moreate at when I moved to California. I LOVE KEVINS!!! Their beef pho with steak and brisket, TOP TIER. I also recommend their crispy egg rolls, pork chops, and pork vermicelli bowls. A pro tip my dad taught me whenever I eat pho is to ask for a separate bowl. And in this bowl take half your noodles (no soup) and mix it with hoi sin and sriracha. Now you have two noodles: one warmed up in soup, and another tossed in yummy spicy sauce! But seriously I've laughed, cried, everything in this joint. The workers are soooo friendly and always so speedy with bringing out your food. One time my friend ordered a small kids bowl because she wasn't that hungry and before the waiter even returned back into the kitchen the food was out! Crazy!

They stay open till 11 on Friday and Saturday and 9 other nights. Parking is a challenge on the street and the small private parking lots. There is a garage close by but I hate garages.

Parking is easy, either on the street or in the public lot beside it. Just remember you have to pay. Not my regular stomping grounds, but a decent meal if you are in. Lafayette craving Chinese.

Even though there were customers, the restaurant had a quiet and calm atmosphere which I enjoyed. I'll absolutely be back and be sure to recommend.
