Al Pho

First time here for Pho 🍜. Average price $15 per bowl. Any additional meat is $2.50 💰. 4 bowls, around $80. So the question is how is the pho? Here is my opinion, coming from someone who ate a lot of pho in his life. The beef was overcooked 🥩, the broth is ok, the meatball is very good 😋. Overall, the pho is average. Another question is, how is the Viet coffee? The Viet coffee is too sweet ☕, not enough coffee. If you want pho and you are in the area, try it out and let me know your opinion! #Pho #Noodles #Beef #Broth #Meatball #Coffee #Vietnamese #Food #Opinion #Review

The staff were friendly and the restaurant itself appeared clean and well maintained, which unfortunately made the overall experience even more disappointing once the food arrived. Given the pricing and presentation, I expected a much higher level of quality and care in the kitchen. I ordered the Ghost Pho, and the broth was shockingly underwhelming. It tasted watered down, lacking the depth, richness, and aromatic complexity that should be the foundation of any good pho. There was no noticeable balance of spices or slow-simmered flavor — just a flat, diluted taste that felt more like hot water than a properly prepared broth. The chili oil added heat, but it had virtually no flavor or character, which made it feel like spice for the sake of spice rather than something thoughtfully prepare

I needed a pick-me-up after recovering from a fluke over the weekend, and the best way to do it was by ordering a bowl of beef pho. This place is one of the few places on the central coast that serves pho. As for the quality of the pho, I must say that I’ve had better in other places like Sacramento, where large Vietnamese community resides. After all when I’m craving pho or need a magical cure, I almost always go to Al Pho.

Their pho tastes really nice, it has nice light tasting broth with the perfect noodles to match. I really can’t rate the service though because I’ve only eaten inside once (they have a good pickup service that’s great for introverts, or just someone who’s in a rush). I believe they do have a bar there but it’s not like a full on pub, so I’d say it’s still pretty child friendly. They’ve got plenty of other good stuff too. :)

The food here is absolutely addicting. I CRAVE this every week. The atmosphere is cozy, staff is friendly and quick to serve you your food. Speaking of food, the pho and spring rolls are delicious. I always go with extra beef for my pho. Whenever I come here it isn’t too crowded and there’s plenty of seats, including I think 5 tables and a counter/bar. Anyways, this place gets a five star. One of my fav food places. ❤️
