Pho Mama

Food: good comfort food to fill your belly during these winter months! Every dish/bowl I've tried has been great with flavor without being over the top or salty. The crab noodle surprised me most, VERY deep crab flavor. Three crabmeat cakes (the real kind, not the pink ones you get in a California roll), a sausage with a piece of lemongrass in the middle for some intense flavor, and lots of noodles. ngl, asked for a container so i can bring the soup back home for round 2. My toddler also approves. Garlic noodles also approved. That's all important when you want to eat too without fuss!Service: 5/5 friendly and attentive including being thoughtful of the toddler. Extra small bowl and utensils without us asking. Quick to serve and bring you any additional items you may need. Ambiance: nicely spaced tables, modern decor. High ceilings so it's not too noisy. High chairs and boosters available.

Came here on President's day around 1pm. Still alot of ppl but could get a table promptly. Service was very good and quick. I wanted the short rib but it didn't have anything else. The server told me they would charge more if I want to add other things like Filet mignon which would be $7 more! So I just got the combo.The broth was good. Could be a bit more flavorful but still not bad. Ingredients were not too much. Wish there was more.Hubby got the crab noodle soup and wasn't impressed.

With all of the recent Bay Area rain gone, we were really in the mood for some Pho. First time visiting this place, it's located inside a pretty crowded strip mall. We came here around 1pm, and parking was pretty scarce. When we arrived, the restaurant was still not too busy, however, by the time we left, every table had already been taken.My wife ordered the beef pho combo. There was a good variety of meats. The amount was decent, but wished there was more. The broth was pretty good, definitely more herbs than others I've had -4/5I ordered the crab noodle soup. I was pretty disappointed with this one. The soup was pretty bland. I much prefer the one at Kim Long near Milpitas -3/5Overall, it was good. I would come back if I was in the area. I just wouldn't get the crab noodle soup again.

This restaurant continues to be one of our favorite! We come here so often for their pho, sugarcane drink and spring roll. Their brisket pho, seafood pho and vegetable tofu pho were some of our favorites. They were also so accommodating. I asked to replace the squid and crabmeat in my seafood pho with tofu and they were so nice to accommodate my request. Truly appreciate it! You got to try their original and kumquat sugar cane which is so refreshing and sweet!

Well, Pho Mama was my first official meal after moving to the East Bay and it's not a bad option for those who are nearby! Located in a plaza, parking is abundant and free. It was a Monday night and we were able to snag a seat quickly. Their menu is pretty straight forward, although there are a lot of different options available including banh mi's. I opted for their filet mignon and beef ball pho bowl and my husband opted for their banh mi with a side of broth. Both came out quick and while it wasn't the most amazing bowl of pho I've ever had, I feel like the overall dish was enough to where this could be a good option if that pho craving hits. We weren't sure if we paid at table or at the register so we ended up walking straight to the register. Do take note of your table number if you go this route, because they asked us what table we were and we didn't even notice so it took a bit to figure out the table number to pay. Service was quick which was great for those of us who were on the borderline hangry. No complaints.

Pho mama isn't your typical viet pho dining experience. The restaurant is modern, clean, and festively decorated each season! Service isn't as fast, and the staff speak very little English. Makes it difficult to order and or request help.The food is really good though! bowls of pho are large, Sammies are super tasty, and the pricing is great!I will keep coming back, as I've already been here 3 times!

Stopped by here for a quick bite and was not disappointed! I was quickly greeted by staff and the servers were attentive the whole time I was dining there!I ordered the Egg Rolls and Grilled Chicken Vermicelli along with an order of Spring Rolls. The Spring Rolls came with 4 pieces :') which I appreciated especially with their portion size. The Vermicelli was also a decent size bowl! The egg rolls weren't too oily but were still very crunchy! The Grilled Chicken had a nice flavor!Overall, very clean restaurant and a good amount of seating. Would definitely recommend stopping by when you're in the area!

Food is good & service is great. I go on my lunch so I need something quick, & they're always so respectful of my time when I'm in a rush

I've had Pho Mama's Vietnamese coffee with salted cream a few times (highly recommend btw, strong coffee without tasting burnt), but this is the first time I've sat down to have a meal. I went at 5:30pm on a weekday and was surprised to see 75% of the restaurant was full!Staff were nice. The place is clean--the lights were a bit dim and warm which made it feel inviting.We ordered a broken rice (com tam) dish and pho. The com tam was delicious! The meat was so smoky and the eggroll is taro-filled which is my favorite!! The pho was a little underwhelming--maybe it was this particular batch but it tasted watered down.I'd definitely come back for the com tam and Vietnamese coffee!

Spacious booth calm music awesome staff and great food!! We were in a meeting in Fremont and came across this Gem! Too bad it's in Fremont or this would be our go to pho place. Definitely will be returning real real soon!!
