Pho Bac Noodle Palace

I have been living in Modesto for 20 years +, and I have been eating here since they first opened. What I like about them is the food portion they offer is still high quality and have not change. The workers there don't speak good English, but they are very friendly.If you are looking for authentic Vietnamese food in Modesto, then this is a perfect place. If you are expecting to have amazing customer service, a high-end restaurant, and a fancy atmosphere, then this is not a place for you. I hope my review helps your decision.

Food was prepared very fast, and flavor was excellent the beef in the noodles melted apart it was NOT tough it was perfect would honestly recommend to anyone.

This place was absolutely amazing, great service. And extremely welcoming. The Pho was outstanding the both was great!! Great prices!!

My friend and I had dinner here after visiting family from the hospital. We stumbled upon this place because they were open late and ordered pho and shrimp rolls. The skin on the shrimp rolls were kind of hard but the flavor was okay. The pho was surprisingly pleasant and the portions were good.The location did look a little sketchy at first and there is a carwash attached but the staff were extremely nice and there were plenty of people dining there. The AC wasn't really working but they had evaporative cooling fans set up so it was still cool inside.I wouldn't mind coming again for their pho when I am in Modesto.

Being attached to a carwash may not appeal to some people, but don't let that deter you from enjoying the delicious authentic Vietnamese cuisine. The pho is on point and were generous portions, and not just with the noodles either. The meat portions were well balanced with the dish. One of the best shrimp bbq sweet pork spring rolls I've had and all the dishes appeared and tasted fresh. The servers were authentic as well :D. Barely spoke and understood English, but were polite and helpful and got our order out quick. Best pho I've had in this area. Definitely will come back when craving for good pho when in the area. Two

3.5 stars considering the area and available options. Noodle soup portions are pretty large. Large size was too much to finish and had a lot of meat. Pho broth could be a bit more flavorful/spiced, but that's a personal preference. Hu tieu dac biet (special combo) had a mix of shrimp, squid, imitation crab, fish balls or fried tofu (I forget), chicken, pork. They can even make it with the wide rice noodles (aka chow fun / ho fun noodles) instead of the regular pho noodles. Fyi they don't take Amex.

Very busy during lunch. The broth is usually more hot and I prefer it that way but it is very delicious still. The large was enough for me and my mother to share.

This is my fav pho place to go in modesto. They are very friendly and quick with their service. Food is Fantastic.

I arrived at 8:20 and they didn't want to attend to me anymore they wanted me to order only for to go they close at 9 bad service

This place is one of the best in the central valley not the greatest if you're gonna compare to Bay Area, but I give it a four star for the food in the good customer service
