PHO#1 Noodle House

Completely unacceptable, drove 25 minutes to get here only to find a sign on the front door saying closed for the lunar New Year on the 17th. In fact while i was here taking pictures, one other vehicle pulled up and turned around and left as well. They did not take the effort to update their Google maps knowing in advance that they were going to be closed on the 17th. Irresponsible of the business to do this to customers and I will probably not be patronizing this business in the future as a result of wasting my time tonight. There are other restaurants in Fairfield that do not do this to their customers.

When I walked in, the restaurant is very clean and I can smell the delicoous pho broth. Menu has lots of options to pick from. Different meat and non meat selections. The spring rolls had thick cut pork and shrimps unlike other places. It’s refreshing along with the cream peanut dipping sauce (perfect balance of hoisin and peanut sauce). The shrimp wontons was crispy and delicious. The bún thịt nướng was tasty. The beef was flavorful and the egg rolls adds a crunch of eat bite. The pho broth was clear, bowl filled with meat and my noodles were not over cooked. Served with basil and bean sprouts. The Vietnamese coffee was refreshing and has good balance of condense milk. Staffs were nice. Will definitely come back again

Not sure if this place is under new management but the workers were all new faces to us. Our last lunch here was a terrible experience. We had ordered soup and fried rice but never came. After we noticed 3 customers, who came after us, had received their orders, we had to follow up with the staff. The guy just said I don’t know and he just puts in the order and the kitchen makes it. Obviously, our order was missed. This has never happened before, but as I mentioned, the staff looked new to us. Maybe they’re still working on their ordering process. Food was still good. The portion of the fried rice is less from our past visits but otherwise, taste the same.

Maybe there’s new management or racism who really knows at this point. Staff brought over tofu spring rolls with hair on top both times. Staff did not apologize or try to be accommodating at all. Staff prepared the food with no gloves or hair nets on which is how the long stringy hair kept falling into our food. My husband and I walked out and will never be returning again, with a name like pho #1 is a complete and utter lie.

Of all the Pho spots in the area, this one is our go to! Easy seating and over the phone orders are available. Consistently delicious Pho. We've tried all of them and this one is the best in Vallejo.
