Phở Trần Vũ

I’ve been to this restaurant multiple times, and I usually stick to the classic rare beef pho. This time, I decided to try something different. The portion of meat was very generous, and there were several noodle options to choose from, which I appreciated. However, the quality of the beef was not as fresh as expected, which slightly diminished the overall experience. We also ordered the fried spring rolls, but they were overpriced for what we received. Unfortunately, this visit was particularly disappointing compared to my previous experiences. I hope the quality improves in the future.

Ordered at the store, Efficient takeout, one of the servers was so friendly and cheerful. Sandwich was AWESOME, just the right crunchy bread, tender beef and flavorful vege. The other two dishes were normal, grilled chicken and tofu skin in the rice plate (#128) was a bit dry and chewy, the other ingredients including spicy sauce was great.

If you're craving some seriously delicious Vietnamese food with a twist, then look no further than this amazing restaurant. Not only do they serve up traditional Vietnamese dishes, but they also infuse elements of Japanese and Thai cuisine into their menu, resulting in a mouthwatering fusion of flavors that will blow your taste buds away. On my visit, I decided to go for the yellow curry seafood with udon in soup and let me tell you, it was nothing short of divine. The curry was rich, creamy, and bursting with aromatic flavors, while the seafood was cooked to perfection. The udon noodles added a lovely chewy texture to the dish, making it one of the most satisfying meals I've had in a long time. But it's not just about the food at this restaurant. The atmosphere is also top-notch, with a beautifully decorated interior and friendly, attentive staff. Whether you're dining alone or with a group, you'll feel right at home in this cozy and welcoming establishment. So come on down and indulge in some seriously tasty Vietnamese cuisine with a fusion twist. Trust me, your taste buds (and stomach) will thank you.

By far our favorite Vietnamese resto in the area. And we’ve just tried 2, we stopped searching for another resto to compete with this because, clearly, the search for the best is over. Aside from the good Pho, their good short rib, we really really love their chicken congee.

Some of the best pho in the area. Great prices for the portions. Visit this place atleast once a week and their shrimp spring rolls with peanut sauce is made to perfection. I also have gotten 121; their short rib plate with white rice and the meat melts in my mouth. I think it’s better than the pho and that says alot. A MUST TRY!

This place was a great find! It's located halfway between Palo Alto and Mountain View in a complex near Costco on Charleston Road. I was taken here for a welcome first day lunch by one of my coworkers. The place turned out to be better than what I expected it to be! The place was busy due to lunchtime but we were seated immediately by one of the staff members. The ambiance was super, the place was very clean and not very noisy. I had gotten Grilled Chicken with steamed rice on the side and my colleague picked one of the Pho dishes. The grilled chicken was amazing! The chicken was tender and had a very different tingly seasoning to it which added so much to the flavor. The portions are pretty big, one dish is good enough for two people. My colleague totally recommended her Beef pho as well! Since it is so close to my work, I might go and try other stuff from here for sure!

Sadly, both the rolls and the pad Thai were barely edible. The rolls were heavy and seem to have been frozen and defrosted. The pad Thai sauce was off almost tangy. A real disappointment.

Title: Disappointing Experience with Cold Soup, Unprofessional Service Rating: 1 star Disappointing Experience with Cold Soup, Unprofessional Service. My recent visit to Pho Tran Vu was quite disappointing due to several issues we encountered during our dining experience. Our soup arrived cold, while we noticed other guests enjoying their steaming hot soup. The boiled eggs I ordered arrived significantly later than the soup. To make matters worse, our server failed to handle a lipstick-stained cup with grace, opting to examine our lips rather than providing a clean cup. Additionally, as my friends are from Colombia, we couldn't help but notice an unwelcoming tone from our servers. This discomfort was heightened by the absence of drink refills and a delayed check, despite finishing our meal a while earlier. Our dissatisfaction continued when we observed the inadequate seafood portion in our soup. Finally, our server’s ripped glove, and their continued use of it while handling utensils and other items, left us questioning the establishment's hygiene and safety standards. Overall, this experience significantly dampened our enjoyment of the meal and left us feeling disappointed with Pho Tran Vu. It would be hard for me to recommend this establishment until these issues are addressed.

Good service, fast, reasonable price and in the same lot as Costco so it's perfect. Lots of parking spaces. Foods are good based on what I've ordered so far. Pho with rare beef. The oxtail side order is prepped just right. I wish there are two instead of one for a side order. The rice with Korean beef ribs are also very good! The drinks I ordered on two occasions are chanh muoi and xi muoi are very good!! Ambiance: First time was very loud due this one group about 12. Very loud, rude and acted like this is their own house instead of a restaurant. Many customers were annoyed by that but they are clueless and classless. "Money cannot buy class and etiquette" is a perfect saying with this group. The women dressed like street walker and they are in their 40-50s. Their English is worse than FOB, sad. I am embarrassed to say these people are Vietnamese. We are not like that. 2nd time I was there, it was great when that classless group was not there.

We were craving Vietnamese food, but it was pretty late in the day. Most of the spots were closing in about 15 mins , then we discovered this place closes at 9:30pm. The interior is clean, modern looking, and inviting. The staff friendly and attentive. The menu was extensive, pretty much having something for everyone. Our meal started out well with their fresh spring rolls. The accompanying sauce was delicious, especially after being spiked up by the addition of the chili. However, the #118 entree I had was a bit underwhelming. The grilled pork lacked flavor and was thin. The egg cake was a bit on the small side. Moral of the story...try to eat earlier.

Food is delicious and what we ordered came out super fast. The big ass beef rib was was tender and hit the spot. The spring rolls equally delicious. Service was good, but could of been better. Getting a refill on drinks was a little tough. Ambiance for this restaurant was nice. Tables have all the condiments that you could ever wish for. But it dose make the Table a little crampt. But don't get me wrong, this place is always a favorite stop. Come check it out.

The customer service is very nice and attentive. The food is not bad...but also not as authentic as I would've hoped. The staff are definitely Vietnamese but it's vastly lacking compared to most pho restaurants I've been to. I ordered the bun bo hue and the moment it was placed down I was already surprised to see the color, none of that ruby color whatsoever. But the taste is not bad, for maybe those who are trying bbh for the first time. I could not rly taste the lemongrass and most disappointing is I couldn't taste any of the shrimp paste at all. Perhaps no chili either?! Very much NOT aromatic for an originally rich dish. & It rly felt like looking for scraps of noodles in the bowl, I had maybe only 5 spoonfuls of noodles. The rest were sliced meats but not of good quality.... For bbh I prefer more noodles because the star is the broth. The rest of my family also said their dish was lackluster. It doesn't have the right base and spices as it would normally have. I looked at my husband's bo luc lac and even that didn't look like it usually does. Again, not bad. I think it's a good start for ppl not very familiar with Vietnamese food, but for those who are familiar, it leaves you wanting more in quality and quantity.

Went here on sick day with my brother, we both ordered the Bon Bo Hue & Shrimp Spring Rolls with Peanut sauce. The Shrimp Spring rolls are Fresh and Good! The Bon Bo Hue is definitely a 10/10!

This was my second time here, and I was not super impressed. On the menu it sounds like several of the vegetarian items should be easily veganized, but when I asked our server she said she was only sure about 92 (veggie pho) and the tofu spring rolls. She said 92 was good so I ordered it. The pho noodles and toppings themselves were delicious, but I found the clear broth to be extremely bland. I also found a dead mosquito in my broth. I understand these things happen and the workers were all really nice so I didn't say anything at the time, but now I kind of wish that I had.

This was a 3.75 experience overall-- I was a fan of the portion size (pretty classic) and the cheaper cash option was a plus. Interior was fairly clean and staff were friendly and efficient. I got the beef belly pho and my only complaint was that the soup was a little saltier than I would've preferred-- definitely needed a lot of water with the meal. Otherwise, solid spot overall and nestled nicely in the Costco plaza in MV!

Absolutely the best bang for your buck, generous portions and flavorful broth for the price cannot be beat! Excellent customer service staff are very nice and delighted to serve with a smile, definitely a must try!

The overall rating is only considering food, not the service or price My opinions: - Grilled Pork Sandwich: (7/10 - Good) - Would be better with more veggies Wife's opinions: - Grilled Pork Sandwich: (6/10 - Fine) Other notes: - Got this as takeout

Came here on a rainy day, and the food was really good and came out quickly. I got the a small pho with com tam and the portions were generous. Would recommend!

This is my go to spot every time we come to Costco. It's in the shopping center next to the Ross. The food and service is always on point, but my order got messed up, but I still ate it. Overall this place is one of my favorite Pho spots. The garlic chicken wings here are fire and I highly recommended it.

The service is great and they are super friendly, but I feel like I'm spoiled in San Jose because I feel like this place was good but it was a little bit pricey for what it was and I feel like you get a lot less food and flavor compared to places in San Jose

This place is a hidden gem. A new pho spot opened on university in Palo Alto but i always make the pilgrimage to this little restaurant. The chili oil is made in house, and i always ask for the fresh noodle. Great service and honest food.

Surprisingly cozy and relaxing ambiance with a good amount of larger tables. Great value- about $20 for a huge bowl of pho. Lots of meat and the brother was flavorful. One of the top 10 Pho spots I've been to in the Bay - broth is great just a little less complex and oilier than I've had elsewhere. Will return.

A quaint little pho spot ! Like what another reviewer said, you know it's good when there's people willingg gg to eat outside in such a hot weather. Fast and friendly service as expected with these mom and pop places. I got the classic bon bo hue and it was delicious ! There's not a lot of places I can compare with pho places in LA so this really hit the spot. Overall: 9.5/10 recommend.

~3.5 stars for the pho and banh mi, rounded down since it really wasn't 4 for the food. I was looking for a place that had pho and banh mi that had cha lua in the area and found this place. Pho - noodles too soft, soup too sweet, oxtail too fatty. This was the 29House Special Beef Noodle Soup. Banh mi - pate tasted too strongly of iron, pork was too sweet. I wouldn't rule out eating their banh mi again but would do cha lua only with an egg. This was the 10Grilled Pork Sandwiches With Cha Lua Vietnamese Sausage. Friendly and fast staff during our quiet visit. Contemporary decor.

It's definitely the best pho I've ever tried. Ask n32 and you will surprised. I always eat it without noodles because I adore just a broth It's very healthy and contains alotof collagen we actually need!!

Located in the same plaza as Costco's Mountain View warehouse, Pho Tran Vu is a humble, local eatery offering a huge menu of Vietnamese dishes. My pick was the Banh Hoi Tom Thit Nuong, a plate of thin woven vermicelli, grilled marinated pork, shrimp, and fresh vegetables, including lettuce, mint, lettuce, daikon, and cucumbers, along with fish sauce on the side for dipping. The plate was set up to make delicious lettuce wraps with the vermicelli, grilled meats, and herbs. I also sampled the pho broth, which was laden with MSG. In general, everything we had was decent, though not at the peak of freshness. The prices were high for what we got, and the restaurant could have been cleaner, but the service was quick and friendly.

Truly the worst restaurant I have been to in the Bay Area. We ordered a Pad Thai for our party with no bean sprouts and no spice. Over 30 minutes passed and we didn't receive it. When we asked someone for it he put it in and said it was coming. But when we paid the lady upfront argued with me and said we never ordered the Pad Thai. Woman we have three whole witnesses who saw us ALL order the pad thai. $70 with no tip--and for disgusting food, meat was so bland, we didn't finish any of our meals. Absolutely horrid experience, we will never recommend anyone to come here. I'm pretty sure their food is all old and stocked in the back because everything was cold. Never coming back. Save your money.

The food here overall is solid. I've had a couple things and no complaints. The service is extremely attentive. Some of the most attentive service I've ever gotten at a Vietnamese place. And they give a 10% military discount!

I passed by this place for a decade while shopping at Costco. I finally decided to try it out. I'm so glad that I did. Food is delicious. I had the rare steak pho. My companion had the free range chicken sour and spicy soup. He said it was one of the best soups that he has ever had. We also had the chicken spring rolls which were really delicious. Dipping sauce was Nuoc Nam Sauce instead of a peanut sauce. Bathrooms were ok but they keep a stockpile in the gender neutral bathroom. I was surprised that it was pretty busy in there. There were at least 3 families and 5 singles eating there at 7 pm on a Tuesday night. Highly recommend and it will be in the pho rotation!

Nice restaurant and the food is good but little pricey. Service is good too. Place is kinda small but with good ambiance.

Located in Mountain View, parking is plentiful and easy to find. The surrounding is pretty nice as there's a Costco and Krispy Kreme. The interior is a bit small but makes good use of the space. Noise level was pretty average but it was quite busy. House Special Beef Noodle Soup (4/5): super flavorful. The meat was tender and chewy. I enjoyed the thin slices of brisket. I wish the oxtail was a bit more cooked though. Tap to pay is accepted. Overall Pho Tran Vu is a great pho place. The food is pretty good, but it does get pretty busy during peak hours.

My second time being here with my fam and I think it's safe to say this is our new favorite spot to come by after a 49ers game. The food is delicious and the staff is are always so nice! Perfect distance from the Mountain View Caltrain station you can't go wrong with stopping by and having yourself a hot bowl of pho! 10/10 recommend!!

Best pho I've had anywhere BY A MILE! The broth is so rich and savory, really great if you're feeling under the weather or something. Servers also seem to remember me because I go there pretty often, which is nice.

Today I try a... Crab and Shrimp with Udon Soup. Delicious OMG You guys need to come this amazing restaurant and try everything

Pretty good Pho. Pho is good pretty much everywhere but something about theirs is better. The broth much more flavorful. Comfortable place and they also had TVs on playing the football and basketball games which I loved and didn't expect. All ingredients were fresh and clean. Service super quick. Definitely would and will return.

I ordered egg rolls, bun rieu, and a sweet and sour seafood noodle soup for takeout. It was ready within 10-15 minutes. Total was a little under $50. My complaint is that the bun rieu didn't have any crab, and the pork slices that were included were dry. The broth I realize is actually really salty and MSG-y too and makes me really thirsty. The cha gio egg rolls were good though.

I come to this restaurant at least 1 a week. I like the food and staff. That is why I gave 3 star. I am an Uber driver. I always recommended this restaurant to my customers, who came into the Bay Area for work and stayed nearby the restaurant. However, I won't come back. I finished my meal this evening after a long day of driving. I didn't even get a chance to drink the water. The waitress (she is new) came over with credit card machine, forcing me to pay. It was a hint to get me out. I paid and gave 25% tip. However, There were no customers waiting. Yes I was watching a movie on my phone, but was not planning to stay long. Just need a little time to unwind. Forcing paid customer to leave but allowed homeless guy to sit outside at one of the tables. I love California but sometimes I just don't get it. Homeless is more valuable than paying customers.

You know a pho restaurant is good when it's still poppin when it's 90 degrees and people are willing to sit outside to eat. My friend and I went here for lunch and ordered two bowls of their house special pho with wide flat noodles along with two Vietnamese coffees. The broth was so hearty, but light and clean tasting at the same time. The bowls of pho also came with so much meat it was WILD because I was basically eating meat the entire time and was barely able to eat any of my noodles after. Their chili oil is also AMAZING..it had a unique smokey flavor to it and I couldn't stop adding it to my meat. This place is family owned so I could tell they really put extra love and care into all of their food. The servers were hustling to get all the orders out and always made sure everyone was taken care of too. Definitely a go to spot for viet food for me now!

Sooo good! I miss authentic viet food soo much. The broth was SO good and fragrant with lemon grass, green onion, and cilantro. The grilled chicken was juicy and flavorful. Although a bit greasy. The grilled chicken spring roll was yummy also! Super friendly and speedy service. Def will support if in the area again.

Pleasantly surprised I got take out from here and tried their rare steak and brisket pho. They packaged all the ingredients individually and gave me plenty of sprouts, basil, and jalapeños. They also provided condiments and lemon/lime. The meat was tender and the broth was savory. Large is LARGE. Their bahn mi is solid too. Prices very reasonable and they make the food quickly.

A solid option for pho, bun, or rice dishes. This restaurant offers indoor and outdoor seating. Service is quick and friendly, but no frills. I've come here for lunch after a hike or for a quick dinner with friends and this spot has consistently been a solid option.

I was in town for work and had lunch here and absolutely loved it. I had vermicelli noodle with chicken and egg roll. The chicken was grilled perfectly. So tasty. Some of the best I've ever had. Tu was my server and she was great too! Very kind and friendly. I will definitely be back!!!

Lunch here is great. Plenty of seatings, fast service and delicious food. I enjoy their rib bone pho special.

Was craving some Vietnamese food after a 2 week vacation and drinking the night before at NKOTB at Shoreline. Good pho and I've eaten a lot of pho. This place rivals my some of my favorite spots in San Jose! Came in for a late lunch and we were the only diners. The male server was nice. The food came out quickly. I got a bowl with different cuts of beef and tripe with fresh noodles! I love tripe and I've noticed a lot of pho places stopped offering it. There was a good meat to noodle ratio. The broth was not too salty, not too oily, and I happily slurped it up after I finished up the meat and noodles. The veggies were fresh. I thought the prices were reasonable for the amount of meat given. They didn't rush us to pay after we were done eating - even though they were closing early for the Fourth of July.

Love coming here when I'm craving pho and ordering the seafood pho and the fresh shrimp rolls. Everything is fresh and delicious and the portions and prices are reasonable.

Stopped by on a Sunday evening around 5pm. The restaurant had plenty of seats and booths inside. There were actually a lot of people there at the time almost all tables were taken. We got seated right away and both servers had a great positive attitude. They checked in multiple times to make sure everything was alright. We had the chicken broth noodle only pho and the beef ball pho. Super tasty! They accept cards and cash As far as cleanliness - it was pretty clean. The only issue I had was the hallway to the restroom- they use it as storage but that area isn't well kept. Restroom is unisex but very clean and tidy They also have seating areas outside .

A must after Mountain View Costco shopping. Pretty busy after 6pm but easy to get a table. Used to provide a free chicken wing for kids but no more :'( Beef noodle soup 29 or 32 (with a giant beef rib) was a must every time. Banh mi and spicy & sour seafood noodle soup also tasty.

TLDR: Decent Viet near Costco. I like the environment... nice plush seats, no sticky floor. It's a good place to eat. I wouldn't say the food is outstanding, especially when you compare to Little Saigon where I live. But it's good. My wife was dissuaded from ordering her chicken with dark meat. She said that breast meat is usually dry, but the waitress quickly re-assured her that "theirs is cooked moist". No... it wasn't. Still kinda dry. Wife also ordered the vermicelli instead of the usual pho rice noodle. She said it was good. The Chicken Broth was just... ok. I'm more of a chicken eater than a pork eater (Gout). So I was a little little bit dismayed that their is so many more options for pork rice dishes than chicken. Pork had options for egg rolls, shredded pork skin, egg cake, etc. Chicken had... Chicken and shrimp or grilled chicken. DISAPPOINTED! So I ordered the grilled pork, because I wanted to try their variety. The egg cake and pork skin were decent, about the same as other places. The grilled pork was cooked unevenly. Some parts were nice and juicy... some of the thinner parts were dry. I like their broken rice, they give quite a bit. Their pickled veggies are a bit spicy? Which is a bit of a surprise to us. Overall, nothing special. It's a step above the Viet Chain Restaurants. If we do go back, it'll only be because we want to eat somewhere near Costco.

There is a hidden service charge and extra fee if you order Togo The food is good though........

Consistently good pho. And i like the option to add an extra beef rib to any bowl of pho. Shrimp and mango salad are tasty too. I

Pho Tran Vu is my new local go to spot for great Viet food! Not only do they have amazing pho, I also really like getting their grilled chicken salad (so much protein for the gainz) and their Hu Tieu Nam Vang. YUM! They always treat me so well and it's a very friendly and cozy environment. You have a regular for sure now!

delicious food but pretty pricey pho: we got the signature pho that had a sampling of all the meats, was pretty disappointed with the oxtail- was pretty tough while i feel like so many other places make oxtail fall off the bone overall very nice and hit the spot shrimp spring roll: generous shrimp portion, can't go wrong tip: sit inside since the outside tables don't have branded sriracha bottles at the moment

Came just based on Google search/reviews, and was pleasantly surprised. Portions are huuuge. Staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. Inside is pretty small, classic pho spot. Definitely became one of my favorite pho spots in the bay.

I ordered the House Special Beef Noodle Soup, which included a variety of ingredients such as rare steak, tripe, flank, fatty brisket, tendon, and oxtail. The flavors were decent and each component was well-prepared.

Was craving Viet food so came here with my friend. She got a rice dish that was pretty good. I got Bun Bo Hue! It was delicious, weirdly no pork hock in it. Also it was $18! I guess those are peninsula prices. It's convenient and good, but price wise I'd go else where if I didnt mind leaving the area.

Really good pho, got #38 and was not disappointed. Quick service and everything you need at the table.

Pho Tran Vu is in the Costco/Total Wine complex, adjacent to Hwy 101, so just drive into the parking lot and you'll find it. Menu is extensive with plenty of sections that go beyond your typical Pho Viet cuisine, including fried rice, udon, and Bahn Mi. We ordered: House Special Beef Noodle Soup... bear in mind, this is really just a combo Pho soup with rare steak. The rice noodles are thicker in width and ribbon style, which I like alot. Lots of rare steak included, more than the usual 4-5 strips. There was even a cross section of oxtail that was tender and delicious. For Pho soups, this is right up there among the best and unique. Garlic Fried Chicken Soggier than it should be, but still good. The sauce is a little sweet, and 5 or 6 wings sit on a bed of shredded cabbage. Crush ground beef congee The rice grains itself were excellent, but I thought there was way too much dried garlic bits and shallots overwhelming the dish. The beef (extremely tasty) appeared in small bites and grounded bits. Location is Food was prepared in average time and they brought me a free iced tea while I waited. I'll definitely return for the Bahn Mi at some point. that's all
