Pho Monsoon

This phở place is excellent! The service is fast and friendly, literally able to sit down, eat a quick meal, and get on with my day in less than 30 minutes.
The food is reasonably priced, a regular bowl of phở is $ 8, but if you aren’t that hungry, it’s a good idea to share a large with someone ($ 9)
One time, my friend accidentally ordered the imperial roll instead of the spring roll, the owner was super understanding and offered to exchange the imperial rolls for the correct rolls, no questions asked.
Really shows how generous the workers are and how much they care for their customers :’)

Lovely little café, very friendly clean environment, menu is pretty standard but they add their own flare to the familiar dishes.
Definitely worth going back to.

Friendly service. Very affordable and great tasting food. I love the wanton noodle soup and combo phở. Vermacelli pork dish is awesome too.

Food always goods do service very prompt and polite. Just wish it wasn’t so loud when more than 4 tables are seated. Hard to hear anyone talking at your table. Food and service alone get 4 stars!

This is my go to for phở when I don’t want to get on the freeway. (Otherwise next closest is Phở Saigon in Dublin). They are fast, cheap, and tasty. Their broth is nice and aromatic without the msg bomb. My fave is the bun bo hue (#26) which I prefer without tendon or any other weird parts.
You can walk out for 2 bowls under 20 bucks. This is the place to be on a cold and rainy day.

Located in the Marketplace in San Ramon, Phở Monsoon is our go-​to restaurant for Phở. Good prices, target food and really good service.

Consistently good phood at a very reasonable price for the area! Usually runs less than $ 20 for a take-​out dinner for two.
My favorite is the rare beef phở, but other dishes I have tried like the vermicelli with chicken were also very good. Imperial rolls and fresh rolls are done nicely — depends on whether you want fried (Imperial) or not. Tried the raw lemongrass beef appetizer last night — excellent!

Phở get about it.
Phở Monsoon is a phở show solid lunch spot. Srsly their soup is not phở king around. I actually liked the wonton soup the best, guess I’m a phở king newb.

I love this place! There aren’t too many places close by to get Phở and they make it pretty well. They make awesome imperial rolls, fried coconut shrimp and all of there bowls of Phở are always served hot and super tasty! The restaurant has a quaint vibe as well. It’s a great casual place where you can get a hearty warm meal fast. They have pretty good hot tea for when it’s cold out and Thai Iced Tea for the warmer days :)

Had lunch yesterday at Phở Monsoon located at the market place in San Ramon. The soup I had was perfect for the chilly weather we had on Monday.
The place was literally packed when I arrived. I was seated after a few minutes of waiting. The waiters are very attentive. Got my seat, menu, and drink within minutes!
Scanning over the menu, I decided to have a soup since it was a cold day. The noodle soup selection looked good. Read through and picked the large sea food noodle soup.
These guys run this restaurant like a manufacturing facility! My big hot bowl of soup arrived within 5 – 7 minutes.
I stared tossing and turning the noodles around exploring this thing, and I located 2 shrimp, fish balls, one mussel, no calamari as the menu claims & a big chunk of noodles! So technically the soup has fishy stuff in it so it’s called sea food noodle soup…
Overall, good fast service, soup was borderline ok.

We love it here. Great Phở. They always take very good care of us. We highly recommend this place. My four year old loves it too.

My recommendation:
Vermicelli with charbroiled chicken (bowl). Always perfect
Deliciously moist chicken on a bowl of ½ vermicelli rice noodles & salad of thinly-​sliced lettuce carrots and cucumber with bean sprouts. Very fresh & crunchy.
I’d be shocked if you don’t end up loving this dish.

Delicious broth and fast service! One of the few good Vietnamese places around the San Ramon/​Dublin area. Would come back!

it was over priced for what was given…
For a small bowl of phở they wanted $ 9.95…maybe it’s the area… I won’t be back–

I understand everyone decided to have Phở in a rainy day, but come on you serve 2 tables before me when I clearly came sat down first. Still my favorite Phở place, but they need to pay attention into details and customer service.

My barbeque grilled pork was fine. Wish The meat was more flavorful and tender. I’ve had really delicious, juicy and tender barbeque grilled pork at other similar restaurants. Hope they make this popular dish better.

We’ve been coming here for almost a year now. It’s the nearest phở place in Danville. We’ve been coming here more than when we lived in Windermere.
Here are my favorites:
To start– Coconut shrimp with their sweet chili sauce. It may taste like Mae ploy but they fix it to make it their own.
Noodles– The phở is good. Base. Noodle. Meat. Recently my favorite has been bun bo hieu. If you like spice & lemon grass, you will love this. I am not a person that eats spicy food at all. But there is something in the soup base that is quick addicting.
*Clean restrooms* This is saying A LOT for a phở place. One time, the toilet was clogged and the manager had it cleaned right away (wow!)
Lemonade is made from scratch. You can always ask them to change the sweetness level.

Came here for the first time and tried some new good food. One of my buddies suggested the place and I always like trying new foods. So I gave this place a try .
The food was amazing I ordered the #26 which is the spicy hue noodle soup. It has thick noodles served with rare beef, well done beef brisket, tendon and chalua (Vietnamese ham) in lemongrass infused broth. Also got the Vietnamese drip coffee
This dish was amazing I totally recommend this dish for anyone trying something bed has long as you like beef. It some in small or larg serving sizes I ordered the large but I’m sure the small would work for some with not a large appetite. The large is huge a lot of food and broth ! This dish had amazing taste and flavors. It says spicy but it more of a mild spice so don’t worry it’s not super spicy !
The coffee was not bad, I have never had coffee where it drips into the glass, they have this thing on top of the glass where it makes the coffee in front of you .it’s very different and coffee is very strong so if you like your coffee strong it’s perfect for you !

The prices aren’t terrible, but if you’re used to getting phở in San Jose or Oakland, they’ll probably cause you to do a small double-​take.
I met up with two awesome friends from church a couple of Saturdays ago and we ordered the following:
fresh spring rolls (2 cut in half — 4 pieces total) — 4.99
phở dac biet (L) — 10.99
kid’s chicken soup — 5.25
tea (mug) — 1
seafood phở (modified w/​vermicelli noodles) — 8.99
I would recommend passing on the fresh spring rolls since the filling is pretty sparse and the peanut sauce that accompanies it is kind of lackluster, too.
I went with the seafood phở and was full by the time I finished my regular sized bowl. There’s a pretty good seafood (fish cake, fish balls, squid & shrimp) to noodle to broth ratio going on, and I found the broth flavorful and non-​oily/​greasy (definitely a plus).
Even when every table in this place fills up, the service is great and my friends and I received lots of check-​ins and refills of water, etc. It can get pretty noisy, though, so it might not be the ideal place to try and hold a meeting or have an in-​depth, catch-​up conversation.
I think there are other phở places in San Ramon, but I like that this one is centrally located near the library, park, and other shops. Will probably be back.

It is a true shame that most of the restaurants in the Market Place are just meh. The daughter had been wanting to try this restaurant for some time and on one of my husband’s late work nights, the two of us came here for dinner.
First, I will say that the place itself was very loud and had lots of small children running a bit amuck. They seemed to do a lot of take-​out business and the actual restaurant was pretty shabby and needed an overhaul.
Second, we were first timers here. I knew I wanted Phở’. I also knew I was craving lemongrass anything. The daughter and I started with Imperial rolls, shared Phở’, lemongrass chicken and she ordered a hot pot.
We were truly disappointed in almost everything except for the Phở’.
The lemongrass chicken was seriously probably the worst chicken I have ever been served in a restaurant of any kind. It was beyond dry, beyond palatable and beyond anything a true Vietnamese restaurant chef would be proud of serving. It was seriously like weeks old chicken put in a wok of sorts with a lemongrass sauce put on with barely cooked onions and red bell peppers and luke warm served on top of shredded lettuce. We both spit out the bite we took. The hot pot the daughter had was marginal– she stated that it tasted like something you would microwave and had no real flavor at all. The Imperial Rolls were just ok– not particularly hot and not particularly interesting.
Thankfully the Phở’ was decent and again, I think they focus on a lot of to-​go orders. Our waitress never checked back on us, was not the one to deliver any of the food and had no personality.
We ate what we could, asked a random busser for the check and paid cash.
Phở is the way to go– otherwise, I will keep to the other side of the tunnel for «real» Vietnamese food.
