I have eaten here twice this week, and have enjoyed my meal both times. My first visit I ate in, had the #1 phở rice noodle soup, delicious broth, included a large shrimp & crab claw. Service was ok, but not real friendly. The next time I ordered the rice noodle bun, with vegetables and tofu to go, no soup. When I got back to my hotel, I was pleasantly surprised with the large portion of noodles, tofu, and salad topped with chopped peanuts & green onions, and delicious sauce. So satisfying, and couldn’t finish all of it. Highly recommend this dish, especially if you are a healthy eater!!!

I had the beef phở. It was pretty mediocre. Meat was fattier than expected(given it was labeled«lean»). Soup broth was not good. It was oily and tasted a bit different from other phở places I’ve been to. I wouldn’t be surprised if they use phở broth powder base… Definitely does not taste like it came from hours of stewing/simmering beef bones. The establishment was pretty clean though so that’s a plus.

I have been going here more times than I actually needed. I guess I have not found something around my area(that I just moved into) that I really like but I will search. So I kept going here for my craving BUT, I am not going back anymore. I ordered the same soup from day one with LEAN, I repeat, LEAN beef. Tell me why the last 3 times it is loaded with fat? I know it was not like that the first 2 times I ordered from here. This last time I went as far as asking the waiter if this was lean and he said yes. Nope, FAT again!!! Ah, and there has been times when they forget my water. There’s other phở places I go to that I like and I get the same soup with no fat. Scratch this place off my soup list.

Perfect lunchtime spot if you want QUICKSERVICE and DELICIOUSBROTH! I have been coming to this phở place for a few months now since I started working in a company nearby. I usually get here around 11:45am just before the lunch rush-hour and got seated promtly. I have brought people here for lunch and they loved the fast service I LOVE ordering #1 Combo Beef Noodle Soup. NEVER been disappointed and I enjoy coming here even when I am feeling under the weather because their noodle soups(broth) helps me get through the day. The beef slices are JUICY and not overcooked, the spices are not overpowering and the amount of noodles is just right for me. They a stars because: 1. Cash Only 2. Food may be served quickly but customer service can be troublesome(getting to-go containers for drinks, asking for anything for your table) I recommend this place for fast service and decent phở with an affordable price.

My coworker and I came for lunch today, 04÷21÷16. We were at tablle 17. We ordered one #5, and one #9, $ 7.95 each. After tax, the total was around $ 17.50. We got in line to pay, gave the cashier $ 20. He supposed to give us back $ 2.50, instead he put our change in the«tip» container. Who gave him the right to decide what to do with our money? Tip is for someone who earned it! We will never come back!

My order was the seafood noodle soup. Seafood included shrimp and crab claw. This was my first phở and I liked it here. This is a functional restaurant with no frill and no credit card. The place was crowded when we reached and we had a 15 min wait.

I never thought I would come across a Phở I absolutely didn’t like. Even mediocre phở is good. This experience was so awful it warrants not only complaining to the Mr. but also a full fledge Unilocal review. So here it goes… The Order: #6 Phở Tai, medium #21 Seafood Hu Tue(sp?) wide/flat rice noodle soup(His order) Problems: 1. At every other Phở restaurant I’ve been to ever in my whole existence I have been able to order phở with the tai(rare beef) on the outside. On a little plate accompanying the soup so I can eat them one at a time, nice a rare, and not have them over cooked in my hot as sh*t broth. Not here. You can’t order, for reasons not fully explained, a #9 Phở Tai Gan So…okay, whatever, I’m getting hangry. We order, food comes out(the wait isn’t usually long with Phở) and it is just so… bad. #6: my order. Could not eat the tendon. I’ve had perfectly cooked tendon and the slightly under cooked tendon, where it still falls apart but has a little more bite and mouthfeel. This was parboiled at best. So absolutely disgusting I couldn’t finish it or the rest of the soup in general. #21: gave the wrong noodles, the seafood was off-tasting, it was so bad that he didn’t even eat half of it. So we left. The end.

Love the phở, but hate the service here. They are just incredibly slow(or will ignore me altogether). Whatever. I

Wherever I travel, I try to find a Phở place… I was lucky to find Phở Queen close to the hotel. The phở was good, broth was flavourful… but maybe because I am from Canada the cost versus portion size was not what I am use to. I could get the same dish for half the cost up in Toronto.

Most people would agree that nothing beats a hot bowl of home-cooked phở, but sometimes a long tough day will push you to make the more convenient choice by going out and buying some instead. Phở Queen is the preferred restaurant my family and I like to go to for two reasons: firstly, it is in the direction opposite of traffic on a regular weekday so we never have to worry about a long drive, and secondly, the phở is pretty consistent in terms of taste. Just by looking at the place, you know this isn’t a restaurant to sit and hang out. You eat, you pay, and then you make your way out the door in about 30 minutes or so. The waiters always assume you know what you want after a 10 second perusal of the menu and the food hits your table at an alarmingly fast rate. But these experiences are typical of most phở restaurants. What isn’t typical, however, is the taste. Phở Queen is just a teensy bit better in the aspect that they serve more phở noodles than most places do. Whenever I order a bowl of phở, I always expect it to be 75% broth and 25% noodles(a total rip off yet true of most phở restaurants), but surprisingly, Phở Queen serves it at a decent ratio of 50⁄50. In fact, I was only half-way through my bowl when I started to get really full. My hubby and I normally order the bowl with thinly sliced steak and the meat is super tender. Unfortunately, the broth wasn’t too flavorful so we had to add quite a bit of hoisin sauce and sriracha to give the taste a bigger kick. As for service, if you can speak Vietnamese, you tend to have a better experience because the servers will actually communicate with you. If not, you’ll just be served super fast with little to no interaction the minute your food arrives. Phở is a super comforting dish to have and while eating a bowl that is freshly made from home is always the most preferred, Phở Queen doesn’t do a bad job at being the second choice. Just remember you’re coming for the fast service, cheap prices, and of course, the convenient phở.

I’m done with this place. I used to enjoy the food here but the older waiter guy, kinda balding on top is just downright rude. No thanks, I won’t eat here again.

We came here for an early dinner, this place gets really busy during lunch. Dinner time we didn’t have to wait. Special Beef Noodle Soup Med — It’s a hit or miss, my soup was a bit bland, but there were lots of noodles … hardly can finish it. Special Combo Noodle Soup Med. — hubby ordered this. Medium size, but very fulfilling! Love the huge shrimp!

Food was great two stars deducted due to service and being a cash only establishment. We had barely sat down open our menu n they already came up to us saying ok u ready.

CASHONLY!!! there is an ATM inside. Not bad, Not good. I have a mix feeling about this location. I know going to any or most Asian business Establishments. They don’t hold high regards to their basic customer service. A smile or a simple greetings would be nice in my book. We were the only family there during the morning hour. The older gentle man seem to woke up on the wrong side of the bed. «Grumpy old Man». The food. It’s a hit and miss for me. My phở soup so bland and lacking flavors. My fresh spring roll were freshly made. The kids didn’t like their phở noodles either, the five of us didn’t finished our bowls. My hubby gave his Vietnamese coffee a thumbs up, they provided him with hot water in a thermo container, which he favors over the traditional way it’s usually serve. His coffee remained hot.

Not very impressed with the Phở here. Came in before a football game at Levi Stadium. Read the reviews before entering which weren’t very promising. I’m sure there are better options in the area but with all the traffic I said screw it and stopped in. You never go to a Vietnamese restaurant for good service so I won’t get into that. Eat your soup, pay, get out. Which is what I did.

I was here at 6 pm for dinner and it wasn’t overly crowded. I was given a menu and my order was pretty much taken right away. I ordered a medium phở dac biet. The hot delicious bowl of phở came out shortly after. I had asked for no cilantro, but it came out with some anyways. I added basil leaves, bean sprouts, jalapeño, and lime juice to taste. They have good phở here. They give you a good amount of phở with the medium size bowl, so you should be pretty hungry if you want to order the large size. Also they don’t skimp on the meat either. Bring cash. They currently only accept cash. Restroom was pretty clean. It is conveniently located close to the VTA Reamwood light rail station.

Cash only! I ate dinner here on a Thursday night with my mother and it was pretty empty. Our order was taken right away and we got our food pretty quick. I wasnt expecting much because I read negative Unilocal reviews while waiting but was presently surprised when my food came. I ordered a vermicelli bowl with chicken and shrimp and my mother had the seafood phở. Honestly, this was the best bowl of vermicelli I’ve had in the area. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the shrimp was bigger than any other phở places give you. I tasted my mother’s phở and the broth and noodles were both excellent

A popular work spot for myself and other workers in the area – the line is usually out the door, but they do a good job turning tables over. The phở broth is always clean and flavorful, plus they provide plenty of meat compared to most other phở places. On hot days, I’ll go with a cold noodle salad – the BBQ Pork & Chicken are both really delicious. Prices are reasonable and portions are always on the bigger side.

Decent bowl of phở that’s a little more pricey than your usual phở joint. I’ve only been here twice and both times I’ve ordered the seafood phở with seafood broth. It’s not bad considering the amount of seafood they put in and how clean the broth looks… but this place is just so dirty… It’s like they never dust the place up. Their utensils are also not washed enough. You can tell because there’s still food on them :( I would recommend ordering take out and avoid the filth. Otherwise, brace yourselves…
