Pho Express X Teriyaki Bowl - Banh Mi & Bubble Tea — Restaurant in Union City

I tried going to this restaurant four times before I finally succeeded today (they weren’t open yet but the employees kept telling me to come back later in the day). I’d say it was worth the wait, though. We had the Hibachi Steak, Tonkotsu Ramen, Beef Brisket Pho, and fruit teas. The Hibachi Steak had great sauce and the vegetables were grilled well; the steak was pretty good, though there were quite a few tendons. Can’t really speak to the pho and ramen flavor because I didn’t eat it but my friends said they were good. The tea was great! I took the Less Sugar option and the tea ended up pairing well with the sweeter lychee jelly. Staff was very friendly and attentive. They asked us for feedback after our meals. Staff are from Fujian and are more comfortable speaking in Mandarin but their English is good. Today was the second day they’ve been open so they don’t have all their ingredients on hand. Had to change our order from Brown Rice to White Rice, Coconut Jelly to Lychee Jelly, and Strawberry Fruit Tea to Peach Fruit Tea. Overall very minor adjustments and the food ended up really tasty anyway. Atmosphere was good. The church pew seating was weird but not unpleasant. They were playing death metal and rock over the speakers. Only complaint is the use of some AI images on the menu; I hope they replace them with images of their actual food as time goes on.

I don’t usually leave reviews, but this place honestly deserves it. My girlfriend and I stopped by this new pho and boba tea spot, and we were both seriously impressed.

I ordered the Japanese miso ramen and a lemon green tea with passion fruit boba—and wow. The broth was rich and flavorful, the noodles had the perfect bite, and the toppings were fresh and balanced. The tea was super refreshing with just the right amount of citrus kick, and the passion fruit boba added a fun, tropical burst.

My girlfriend had the shrimp miso ramen and a pineapple lemon green tea. The shrimp were perfectly cooked and soaked up the miso flavor beautifully. Her drink was sweet, tart, and honestly addicting—I ended up stealing a few sips.

The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the staff were really friendly and attentive without being overbearing. You can tell the people running this place care about quality and customer experience.

If you’re looking for a new go-to spot for comfort food and high-quality boba, this is it. Highly recommend checking them out—you...

I hate to be the 1st "eh" review, but the chance of me going back to try something else is 50/50. The pros: very friendly staff, filling portion of the ramen ordered. Pork Gyoza app was good. Cons: ordered the ramen spicy and there was absolutely no heat to it whatsoever. Ordered an extra egg for $1.50, the menu should state what it is "half an egg". The worst part was that I had one order of the Pork Chashu Buns that was $8.99, the order DID NOT look like the picture. The picture shows a nice cut of meat, maybe a 1/2 thick or so. My order has 1 slice of pork in each bun, maybe a 1/16 of an inch thick....it was damn near a deli slice, so disappointing especially since this is the only place completely like this...
