Bayhill Vietnamese Bistro

I've only eaten there once, and I ordered food for pickup once. Both times I ordered the Curry Chicken Soup with rice noodles. Both times the soup was DELICIOUS! For the to-go order, I only wish there was more soup. I think, next time I'll request extra soup. The server was welcoming and nice when I ate at the restaurant. The person who helped me with the to-go order was also friendly. The ambiance is very casual and spacious. The furnishings is dated. I've been going to this spot since the 90's when it was a Hobee's. It still has the same layout and the gazebo in the center. It has more of a casual cafe vibe versus a fancier VietNamese restaurant vibe. The server will leave the check at the table after you tell them you're done. There are signs on the walls to remind customers to pay at the cash register, which is located towards the back of the restaurant. Regardless of ambiance and casual service, I'd return to try the rest of the menu!

This Pho ppace is convenient because there's plenty of parking and there's always plenty of empty tables.I've never seen it crowded here and I think it's because the broth is very bland and so is the meat. It's very bare bones, like something you would buy from Costco.Their bbq plates and bbq over cold noodles are also just bland. The meat needs more marinating and their eggrolls are just so plain and bland tasting.If you need something quick that's above a cup of ramen and maybe a little better than a costco ramen packet, then I guess this would be it.

Came to try this place after noticing it while ordering Korean Fried Chicken next door. It's in the strip mall next to 280 on San Bruno Ave. Place is huge, a little dark, and I haven't seen it being crowded ever. Do note that they are closed on Sunday which is really weird for most Asian restaurant.The food is decent but nothing special. Don't think the soup is from actual bone soup but with the price I don't expect them to. They however gives you a lot of meat for the price. I feel like I got a decent deal. Service is also good. You do have to pay at the counter.

The pho with brisket and meatballs was a solid choice. The broth had a nice balance of sweetness and umami. The service was friendly but not very fast. Cleanliness was decent, though the napkin dispenser was almost empty.

The pho at Bayhill is a must-try for any noodle soup lover.Broth: The soup is clear, fragrant, and rich in flavor, simmered to perfection with hints.

Excellent fast service. Wished the tendon in the soup was softer, the kind that almost melts in the mouth, instead of the chewy kind. Also it would be good if the soup was hotter. There is room for improvement for sure.

The food was okay. The service and the ambiance are average. The location was convenient and located with other stores. It was a good meeting spot for my family member who lived down the street.

I always pass by BVB but never really got a chance to try it out. I went in on a random Thursday afternoon at 3 pm and it was relatively empty with only a few diners. The service was average and on par with other Vietnamese restaurants.I got the P2 rare steak and it was a decent size but pricey $15.xx. The broth was a tad on the salty side but I don't think they put msg in the broth.The pho only come in one size. To pay, go up to the counter.They interior is clean and spacious with both booth seating and tables. Plenty of parking in the plaza

So I've lived in San Bruno for over 10 years and tried BVB once before over 5 years ago, and was very underwhelmed. My wife suggested we give it another shot and to my surprise, it was really good. I got the combination beef Pho and wow. I was very impressed by the broth. Clear and depth of flavor. Good portions of noodles and beef. My wife got the same and she was equally impressed. My daughter got the chicken Pho and really enjoyed it as well again, very flavorful broth. This place is way better than Ben Tre and the best pho outside of the Tenderloin in SF. Wasn't busy and service was great. Glad I can get my Pho fix so close to home now.

My to go to for pho! I go during lunch and usually order rare steak pho. This place is often overlooked because it's in an odd location. Good comfort Vietnamese food.
