The Pho

Super cold outside so a good soup sounded appealing. Decided to try this spot to see what it's all about. Clean and bright when you walk in, quickly greeted and seated.I ordered pho with no meat (kept the beef broth, just wasn't feeling anything too heavy today). Also ordered the potstickers.The pho hit the spot for me and I'm more than full. The potstickers were a little on the oily side for me. Not sure I'd order them again, but the flavor was there.Once you finish, you pay up at the counter.

I really wanted to the The Pho because I can definitely see the potential of this restaurant that opened mid 2023. Manteca actually has a ton of Vietnamese options so there is plenty of competition. I thought overall the food was decent. The service is pretty good and the interior of the restaurant is actually pretty well done. I like the little claw game machine that they have inside too.What my table ordered:- The Pho special combo appetizer ($12)- Cold cut combo (Banh mi nguoi) $9The Pho special combo appetizer came with spring rolls, egg rolls, and fried shrimp rolls. I thought the egg rolls were solid, but wish there was an option for fish sauce although sweet and sour works too. The spring roll left a bit to be desired. The shrimp was a little rubbery and there wasn't enough veggies inside for my taste.I ordered the Bahn Mi with the cold cuts and the bread was good and had a flakey crust. I did feel they sort of skimped out on cucumbers and the carrot/radish. I wish there was a little more cold cuts too because I've had some at other places that had a larger portion.I also tried the pork variation, but the marinade for the pork tasted very peanuty and almost a bit too sweet.Also the basket that held my sandwich had a dead gnat on it, but luckily there was paper covering it...Oh well, can't always control nature.The Pho was a bit of a mixed bag especially with the food, but it's hard to fully judge without even trying their Pho which is their specialty. It's definitely worth giving it a 2nd shot to explore their menu fully. I would say it's still not a bad spot and it's still worth a 1st visit.

Wanted a Vietnamese sandwich fix and had to try out this location since I've tried a few other locations in the Manteca area. It was good and I did finish it all for one meal. Normally I eat half and it did look bigger than most but I don't know if I will return for the sandwich again unless the other locations are closed.They are in a convenient popular location on a main road near a bunch of other stores and restaurants with tons of parking. The space inside is spacious and a great setting for family and friends to enjoy a meal....not a first date place but definitely for couples that have been together for awhile. There was a very pricey item on the menu and the employee said it was a popular dish but I don't recall seeing it on yelp yet. I'm not a pho soup fan but if I ever find someone that is and willing to pay that much I'll post more about it but I really came for a sandwich anyways Price was reasonable as well as the wait time...I took to go

The first time I've tried the Pho, it was in the Stockton location. I didn't like it because I thought it was overpriced and the broth was bland. Then I came here to the Manteca location and it made me think differently. The broth is very well. Today I had the Bun Bo Hue and it was not that bad. Service is nice and tidy. Very friendly servers and the decor is nice. Very authentically Vietnamese inspired design. I prefer location more over the Stockton location. Great job!

This place has a delicious short rib (kalbi) dish. It is so delicious that even though my family was craving Pho and ordered Pho, we still order a plate of this. This dish does come as an individual serving and not like a family style dish so the two of us have to fight for the meat. Next time we may need to just get our own plates in addition to our own Pho!I also like their Vermicelli Bowl with egg rolls. The egg rolls are fried nicely to a crisp and the inside of them are filled nicely! This is my favorite item for takeout. They gave me a peanut sauce too in addition the fish sauce. This was a first and it was eye opening in a good way!The service is nice too! The servers were always helpful whenever we had to ask for additional water, bowls to share with the kids, and anything else. To pay, you just go up to the registers. The restaurant is nice and newly remodeled. They also have a crane game

Love them soup! Server not much! My boss got the wrong order instead of saying sorry she just said that " do you want it or not?

Got the Combo Plate and added a fried egg plus a Thai Milk Tea. The thai milk tea was ok but could use a bit more sweetness. The combo plate was a pork chop. They forgot my fried egg and my partner had to go remind them. The pickled carrots with radish tasted off-- it was not a sweet tang like I expected. The meat itself was perfect along with the egg roll it came with. Nước chấm was decent. When they finally got my fried egg out it was overcooked. The food was decent overall. The service was friendly.

I was Rolling around Manteca when I saw the Pho!!Perfect Timing!!!I rolled into the Strip mall they are located in and Parked my Whip!!!I rolled in like a Boss and grabbed table 3 and setup shop!!?I perused the menu my Waitress brought to me!!!I ordered a large number 1 Pho Dac Biet!!!15 minutes later they delivered my Pho piping Hot to my Table with all the Condiments!!!I added some Condiments to my Pho!!The Broth was Delicious and the Real Deal!!!The Meat and Noodles were Delicious and Tender!!! To the BiteThis is the Real Deal Holyfield!!!The Pho is a Classic Baller On a Budget Approved Establishment'!!!I'll be Back!!!!

The Bahn Mi bread was amazing. Super soft. The pho was decent. Definitely don't regret. Will be back

Worst service ever!!! We waited over 30 mins and ended up they placed the wrong order; 2 combo fried rice instead of 2 combo rice plate. Finally the correct food came and it's the smallest portion. I asked for an extra plate for my kid; never got it. No napkins on our table at all. Since the portion is so small, we decided to order another pho. However, they said it will take over 30-40min because there's an online order before us and recommended us not to place the order. Can it be that long to do one online order for a pho place? I really wonder who is the owner because those waiters are pushing away costumers. It was only 7:45pm and they don't close until 9:00pm. I gave them zero tips with no shame. I believe the food is doable if they are going for American Vietnamese fusion because they usually give less food. However, the service is not acceptable.
