Phở Van — Restaurant in Santa Clara

UPDATE AT BOTTOM

First time coming here I found this restaurant just driving around and it opened at 9:00 a.m. it was very dead inside but it was 9:00 in the morning I ordered the pho with a rare steak and a glass of water about $14.25 they usually have small medium or large bowls but here they only have medium size on the tables were extremely sticky not sure how often they clean and there is a weird musty smell not like bad food like a sweaty person and there was ants crawling all over my table not excessively but enough to wonder if it's clean there you can see into the kitchen it's not hidden it's just a little cluttered and they have the back door open that's probably where the insects are coming it didn't bother me that much because I was extremely hungry and I really want to try their soup the first thing I do when I try pho it's taste the broth without adding anything in the broth was spot on so much flavor I loved it plus they make everything to order so it was piping hot they have the plate of the wax beans Thai Basil and jalapenos usually comes with limes but here they had lemons I would have preferred limes but it's okay and some of the wax beans were old had black on the side other than that it was really good food definitely recommend checking it out it was an old lady as cashier and old man in the back I'm assuming there married both very friendly.. parking was horrible there's only three or four spots the rest is reserved for other companies and on the street there is absolutely nothing kind of hard to find right off the freeway before the Thomas exit but definitely recommend checking this place out ,

I live in Menlo Park and the drive is way worth it.

I don't know what the raving and starts about, service sucks and when I mean suck I seen the waiter or who ever it was 2 times. 1 when order, and other at the checkout. Check out seem an issue cause it took him 5 minutes to get the check and clearly it was not busy, my and 2 of my friends and another table joined as we were leaving. Place looks dirty, not clean! Food ok, nothing special, there a lot more Pho places that will beat this one with eyes closed on service, quality or food, and portioning. As o. The pictures that I posted you can clearly see that the waited set the guys next to the dripping water from the roof when all restaurant was empty and they could of sat anywhere else. Want good food choose a different place, want a good food and good service then for sure choose a...
