Pho Lien Noodle House

The menu is expansive and has something for everyone. The herbs were very fresh, and the service was very fast. They served water and an extra bowl for the kids without being asked. My bowl of bun rieu had a lot of noodles, and the meats in the difference dishes my family got were pretty good.Unfortunately, the bun rieu tasted like a bowl of lightly seasoned water. The large pho bowls were mostly soup, which were also lightly flavored, and scallions. Otherwise, the toppings, although pretty good, were sparing. The fresh bean sprouts were wilted and brown. The chow mein was undercooked.When we left, the owner walked us out, which was very kind. The restaurant has been around for about a decade, maybe more and has survived through COVID. Perhaps there are other items on the menu that are amazing. I do hope that they continue to survive, though.

This review is just for their bahn mi via delivery. I want to make it clear I have not tried their pho or other rice / noodle dishes.Overall, the bahn mi was not good, probably one of the worst I've had given the ratio of the meat and vegetables to the baguette. Ironically, the extra star is because the baquette was decent. However, there was almost no meat or vegetables in it. I'm not sure if this is because I got this as part of a corporate order, but there was very little meat and very few vegetables inside the roll. While I wasn't hungry afterward, the ratios and taste were completely off. I felt like I was mainly eating a baguette.For what it's worth, people who got pho said the flavor was good, but the amount of meat was really lacking. It seems this restaurant unfortunately seems to skimp out on the non-rice and non-noodle ingredients...I'd like to support a small restaurant, but given my experience and what I heard, I'll unfortunately go to other Vietnamese places first.

Small restaurant in a little plaza with easy parking. Ordered a banh mi with combination of pork to-go and it was ready in about 10 minutes. It wasn't as stuffed inside compared to other banh mi I've had, but what stood out to me was the baguette! It was very very crispy and light. It was $7 but they charged an extra $0.50 for orders under $15 (I used card). Would come again for a quick to-go meal!

amazing service. loved the vegetarian options. SPRING ROLLS WERE WARM AND FRESH. SUPER nice spot to come and have a nice dinner with ミ**

OK Southern Pho, casual hole on the wall spot, nothing special. It's a bit dirty. I saw baguette touching the wall behind the cashier, not good.Very attentive service though!If you are in the area, want a quick fix Pho, but it doesn't worth a detour!

I had the Pho Tai, which is my calibration at any Pho House. I call it a solid 4 for fresh, good meat served rare to cook on top. Broth is not quite up to my favorite Oho Kim Long. So, a 4. Fast service. Cleanliness is average for a small pho shop - you know what I mean. My coworker had bun bo hue - which she thought was OK, but a bit too salty. Maybe a 3.5. But, since I'm writing the review, PL gets a 4. Summary: gonna try the Banh mi next time. Convenient decent pho in N SJ industrial district.

Ordered this via doordash and was highly impressed. The flavor of the Pho broth is excellent on it's own. The broth to noodle ratio was perfect as well. I also ordered the "grape cake" which is essentially a crossaint but it was very buttery and delicious as well. For the pho I ordered the chicken. It came with white meat and was everything I want in a bowl of pho. Thank you!!

I ordered their bun mam noodle dish via delivery on doordash. This is the only place I see on doordash that will deliver bun mam so I decided to try it out. Honestly, it wasn't that good but it wasn't the worst. There was hardly any meat in the soup other than a couple pieces of fish and squid. The broth just tasted a bit off/different compared to when I get this same dish at other restaurants. I understand this is a pho place, so maybe their pho is better. I wouldn't order bun mam from here though.

Decent small pho place. I would go here again to get pho tai large. They vegetables they use for the plate is fresh.

This place is a joke. I suspect they have fake reviews on Yelp and Google Maps. Read the supposed 5 star reviews and see for yourself.We went here thinking it was a good hole in the wall place due to the reviews. Nobody else was in the restaurant, and all I could smell was bleach. We stuck it out as we were starving and ordered two pho bowls (1 Tai, 1 Combo) and a rice plate. Rice plate was a joke and was something I could have made at home by myself. They stuck 4 shrimp on it which were flavorless. The vegetables were from one of those Safeway bags of peas and carrots. There was some Chinese sausage in it too but it was just chopped up.The pho tai had maybe 4 slivers of steak. Broth was bland and tasted like water.Combination pho had one piece of meat for each type that was advertised. So one piece of steak, one piece of tripe, one piece of tendon, and a literal half beef ball. Also bland and tasted like water.We picked up a pizza on the way back home and scarfed it down because we were still starving and didn't want to pay another dollar to this place.Never, ever coming back here. It just goes to show how easy it is for people to fake reviews.
