As someone who's Vietnamese, I am grateful for Pho VN. It's rather difficult finding a good Pho restaurant in the Bay Area, 90% of the authentic and amazingly delicious Pho restaurants are found in the South Bay, mainly around San Jose.
Then we have the "gem" that is Pho VN, their quality outmatches a majority of their counterparts in San Jose. Their consistency and dedication to providing their best bowl of Pho is truly outstanding. I have introduced countless of people to this location and many have named this place their favorite.
The staff are kind and attentive, honestly making the restaurant feel homely. They always go above and beyond making sure the food and the experience is the best for everyone that comes through.
The food always comes out piping hot and fresh. The Pho noodles and broth is cooked to perfection every time. Their rice plates are also very delicious, the protein are juicy and tender, the fish sauce provided isn't overly potent either. A great balanced dish.
It is however, a cash only restaurant. Having a decent amount of cash is always recommended. Although, if not they do provide a ATM on site for anyone to use.
Overall, a great Pho restaurant in the East Bay Area. Would definitely recommend this location anyone looking for a high quality hot...
Read moreI use to love going here, but the last 2 times I visited I decided I will never go here again, the guy at the front had the worst attitude as if he hated me( no I am not joking, he mugged me the whole time) I tried ordering and when it came time for my drink he said they didn’t sell it when I seen it in the fridge next to him, I pointed that out and he looked at me in disgust ,he also gave me the worst attitude I ever experienced at a place similar to this. I decided to give it one more try with my brother and the waiter kept telling me to get all the cheap stuff in a very rude way as if I didn’t have money. When I finally got my pho the meat had nothing but fat in it and cartilage, I didn’t order that at all, I had plate next to me full of it and yes I asked for an extra plate just to put all the fat in it. I had maybe 10% meat and the rest fat and cartilage. I’m sure they did that on purpose and I was polite. I will never go there again, I hope those who go do not get the same experience I had. I live down the street which is even more sad, I drive to Fremont since the other place I like has so much better service. Also since I am Latino they might not like me and stare pretty hard as soon as I walk in. I would rate it a zero star if I could. Good...

I've been waiting for a great Vietnamese spot in the Union City area, and here it is! More like here it's been! My family and friends have been coming here for years now. The food is always delicious. The noodles are always fresh, even in the vermicelli bowl they're still slightly warm from just being cooked. All of the rolls are fresh and the ingredients are perfectly paired. Two spring rolls are enough to fill you for lunch. With your pho bowls, they'll give you ample fixings and there's never any hesitation when you ask for substitutions or extras. The booths are new and the restrooms are spotless. The family who runs this place is such a gem! You can tell by how they address regulars and how kind they are at all times. I don't think I've ever seen anyone in a bad mood. At this point, I've had everything on their menu and you just can't go wrong.
