★★★★☆ 4.0 Fatima Saldivar · Sep 2023

It's been a long time since I've tried Vietnamese food with so much flavor and a unique seasoning and taste to the regular places (I'm a fan of their cuisine, so I constantly try new places). They have a diverse menu, but it's evident that they specialize in each option that they offer. The restaurant is spacious, clean, and well-lit with natural light. The pleasant background music adds to the ambiance, and the staff is friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. Yesterday, I enjoyed fresh veg rolls and tofu & vegetables chow mein and my friend had a grilled pork sandwich, and he just devoured it. I am looking forward to going again!

I thought the pho was okay, nothing to rave about. We stopped by here because it was along our route. We both ordered the bun bo hue and we noticed how inconsistent the spiciness was. One bowl was obviously more red than the other. Prices seem very fair though!

★★★★☆ 4.0 Ivy Leung · Jul 2019

We wanted to try this place as we were close by and we always love Pho. This restaurant is clean and staff is very attentive, friendly. We ordered the udon and a rice place with a wings. The wings were very fresh and delicious. The udon was very flavorful. The pork on the rice was super tender and the shrimp cake that came with it was just right. Overall we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. We’d definitely visit again if we’re in the area.

★★★★★ 5.0 Benjamin Tan · Jun 2024

A pretty decently sized pho restaurant located near the shopping centers around (Costco, mall, TJ’s, etc.) It has ample seating and parking around the store. The menu is small but pretty easy to understand. Price wise is on par if not a little lower than other pho restaurants further away. The pho itself was on a slightly sweeter side (I’m assuming from the onions they use). Overall bowls were pretty big and had quite a lot of meat. Chicken wings were pretty good too. If ur in almaden and don’t wanna head up to cupertino or little saigon area, this is the place to go!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Mistuh Torres · Sep 2025

Just like other reviews mention, a lot of fatty parts on the Pho with Brisket and Rare Steak. The broth was good. The service was terrible. Only serve one size bowl (or at least not specified on menu) Pho Luc Lac hands down is thee best
