It's like a minimal pho restaurant, known for their chicken noodle pho. The pho doesn't come with extra vegetables, broth is clear and simple. Noodles are fresh, thick noodles as opposed to the dry ones. Chicken rice is nice, comes with 3 dipping sauces, pickled radishes and carrots. Missing some cucumbers or a fresh green in my opinion. Staff were super nice and polite. Pretty no frills in and out restaurant.

We came here several times because their Pho is amazing. To be honest, my bias is beef pho, but I hate to admit that Chicken Pho that is served in this place is way better. I tried the broth of both types and Chicken pho is amazing. Also, this restaurant’s Pho is the Northern Pho because they don’t serve basils and bean sprouts as a free side. If you ask for it, bean sprouts can also be served with extra charges. The BBQ grilled pork with vermicelli was also very good. And, I just love love their Sweet Tofu with Coconut slush the best. Just the right amount of sweetness for me. The restaurant was big, but they’re always packed with many people, especially during meal time. The staff was very nice and friendly, but sometimes I felt like they’re kind of understaffed.

So glad we tried this place since it's now my favorite Pho restaurant. Great distinct flavors with chicken, beef and curry. Also enjoyed the fried tofu and imperial roll appetizers. Have gone back 4 times now and they consistently deliver.

I visited this location for my Uber Eats pickup based on positive reviews, hoping for a tasty meal amidst the bustling crowd. Unfortunately, my disappointment arose when I tried the shrimp fried rice – the taste wasn't appealing, the shrimp was uncut, some seemed unclean, and there were no accompanying sauces. Overall, it was just okay.

Update 2023: intense pleasure I experienced here made me suspect that maybe drugs were in my food lol How can it be so delicious from just food? Wifey laughed, but I'm seriously not sure because of how tasty it was - like a kind of foodgasm that I've never experienced in my life despite travelling in South East Asia for months and eating some seriously delicious food there. But then this? In San Mateo? Best food in the world 🌎. No kidding. Pho Beef ball soup 🍲 and 5 spice vermicelli chicken 🍗 were amazing!
