Pho Thin Hanoi

I can't believe I had never heard of this place! I came here with a couple people and we ordered a variety of things - broken rice with short rib, broken rice with pork, and the ha noi special grilled pork vermicelli. The broken rice was super yummy and those orders came with a bowl of good soup! The Ha Noi Special was expensive but it was super filling and had a variety of meat. Service was pretty quick and they also have a parking lot which made it super convenient! I will definitely be back to try more things.

Got pho with beef balls and rare beef 5/5 Clean broth, lots of noodles, lots of meat and the meat tasted gingery. Really deliciousBbq pork broken rice plate #56 I believe 5/5Huge portion, everything was great. Their home made chili was incredibleHoney wings 5/5. We left the bones clean lol Literally all the food was so good.Been trying to find a good pho spot in the east bay since moving out of San Jose and this one is definitely at the top of my list.

Honestly, my dad and grandpa really like going to this place but I think it's a bit overpriced for pho. I like that they give the option of thick noodles (banh pho tuoi) as some places don't offer it. I'm not saying this place is bad, I can finish most of my bowl but eventually I will stop because I don't like the taste of my broth. I feel like I can taste ginger or something else about it is a bit off and that's not something I am into, but again, my parents have not made the same complaints. I have ate from here with take out (multiple times) and once at the restaurant and think it can be more enjoyable if the broth was better in both instances.The service was quick and the restaurant is quite spacious - inside and outside.

While the pho is on the pricier side, the serving size is fair for the price. Unfortunately, I'd still prefer an average sized serving over what Pho Thin offers. I do love that they offer pickled onion, but the pho was lacking flavor for me. Service was ok. It's a local spot so it's convenient for me.

Food was alright. The broth tasted like chicken stock or broth stock, didn't taste authentic. Like the broth was missing some flavor, tasted so bland and straight.The sandwich was pretty good though, could have used more paste it was drier than other sandwich places.Wouldn't recommend and wouldn't come back

It's a very conservative restaurant based on what you see at the table. With a very western layout though, you can feel things are a bit far out. What they do different is the pickled onions served on the side. It adds some juicy sweet sourness that you don't normally get at most pho dineries. The broth here is light, complemented with the fresh greens and ample amount of meats. I wouldn't go too crazy about the beef rib they serve here since it's mostly bone.. but overall it's nice to have another choice in Vietnamese restaurants in the area.

Overall nice ambiance with ample seating. It used to be a Mexican restaurant. Menu has a lot of variety with highlights being Hanoi style pho soup which has lots of green onions and ginger.The bun bo hue was okay. It seemed to use the same pho broth as the base. Okay quantity of meat, but very little noodles. The pho bowl also had very little noodles. The broth was good.Overall service was a little lacking as I think they forgot to bring us any water until we asked them halfway through our meal.Prices are on the higher side. Definitely order extra noodles if you are hungry!

Layout very similar to Nick's. We sat ourselves at one of the open tables. Water and menu was brought out quickly. We ordered the shrimp roll, the pho and the dry vermicelli noodle bowl. The shrimp rolls were premade as it was very cold when it brought to the table. The pho was ok, standard pho and broth with a huge rib in it. The vermicelli noodle I got was the beef with shrimp and egg roll. Was surprised that it was short ribs instead of the thin slices of grilled beef. Pretty good size bowls. Came with fish sauce and fish sauce was definitely homemade of their version. It's different than what I'm used to but still wasn't too bad. Fast service, great place to get a steaming bowl of pho to help with the cold weather.

First time at this Vietnamese restaurant serving a variety of dishes including Hanoi (northern) and Saigon (southern) styles of pho. The owner, Anthony took our order and explained they differ by noodle width, sweetness of broth, and choice of herbs and sauce.With an extensive menu I decided on the #78 Hanoi Special Grilled Pork Vermicelli ...the owner said "it's a special dish we used to only serve on the weekends"...it's similar to bun (rice vermicelli salad) . DIFFERENCE: :: Herbs - no cilantro or the standard mint but shiso (tía tô), and fish mint (diếp cá) with lettuce for making a wrap. The herbs have a stronger flavor and a slight fish taste. :: Vietnamese egg roll (Nem Rán) - made with rice paper (vs wheat wrappers) which the owner says a brand he gets from Vietnam...filling of pork AND crab meat:: Dipping sauce was less sweet and more like a brothSavory grilled pork (thịt nướng) and pork patty (Bun Cha) were both flavorful and delicious with noticeable garlic and tad of sweetness. Accompanied by rice noodles, julienne cucumber and pickled carrots and daikon. A refreshing and delicious dish and will get this over the Southern style vermicelli on a next visit. Place is casual but clean, spacious with friendly, welcoming and helpful service. I recommend the #78 Special Grilled Pork dish that's hidden under the Special - Egg Noodle - Pasta section (4th page of the menu).Pricing is in line with other like places but Pho Thin Hanoi is very generous with their portions that you'll have leftover. Friend enjoyed her chicken bun, Thai iced tea and the wings were nice and crispy!Plenty of lot parking

Came here on a weekday for lunch. This definitely has that mom and pop restaurant vibe. Ordered the bun Bo hué with steak and beef ball. The soup was flavorful and the bowl was pretty big - not a lot of noodles but tons of soup. Service was good, there wasn't much people at the time so everything was speedy. They also have their own parking lot which is a plus.
