“ Pho Dao is hands down my go-to spot for an authentic and satisfying pho experience. Every visit here feels like a warm, delicious hug in a bowl, and the quality never fails to impress. Their Kobe beef pho is a must-try. The broth is incredibly rich and aromatic, simmered to perfection with a depth of flavor that clearly comes from hours of careful preparation. The Kobe beef itself is melt-in-your-mouth tender, adding a luxurious touch that takes the entire dish to the next level. It's served with a generous portion of fresh herbs, crisp bean sprouts, and lime wedges that perfectly complement the savory broth. The attention to detail is evident: the thinly sliced onions and chopped cilantro enhance every slurp, and the side of beef meatballs is an absolute treat. Whether you're a pho aficionado or trying it for the first time, Pho Dao ensures an experience that will have you coming back again and again. The service is friendly and fast, making this the perfect spot for a casual lunch or dinner with friends. If you're in the area and craving some authentic Vietnamese comfort food, don't miss Pho Dao. It's a hidden gem that keeps delivering excellence, one savory bowl at a time! ”

“ Pho Dao is always busy during lunch time so I like to go when they first open or after the lunch rush. They service is always friendly. We never have to wait long for our food to come out. The restaurant is always clean. My go-to is the #2 Phở Đặc Biệt. The broth is flavorful. I really like the veggies they give you to garnish your pho with. My sister doesn't like eating noodles and always ask to have the noodles substituted with extra veggies. They never give her a hard time and always accommodates her request so we really appreciate that. I've also had their Phở Gà and Bún Bò Hue. Both I would recommend. ”

“ Decided to try another Pho restaurant. While the price is higher than usual, the taste is decent. The food here is fairly better than most Typical joints of its kind? On a bonus note, the inside of the restaurant is a neat and modern trendy place. ”

“ The pho here is delicious and is currently standing as my fiancee's favorite pho restaurant in San Jose. He normally gets the Signature Pho which serves US Kobe beef. I normally get the bun rieu which I got last time but this time around, I opted for pho as well and got the signature. I did a small bowl and my fiancee got the medium. Size wise they do not look that different but I believe he has a bit more meat and definitely more broth. They offer fresh, dry rice and egg noodles options for the signature pho. I said fresh but didn't realize that meant they were the flat noodles which was fine but something to note if you wanted the regular pho noodles which I think would be the dry rice? Every single time we come here, we were always able to get a seat, there's customers flowing in and out so it never gets packed to the point where you have to wait. They are inside a small plaza so there's a parking lot attached. Two bathrooms in the back, one for women and one for men. The TV is always playing some random movie. Last time we were watching Godzilla. lol Pho Dao feels very much like a small mom and pop restaurant but they have a nicely designed logo and the staff even has matching teal shirts with the branding. Not sure if they will ever plan more locations but they certainly have the best looking logo for a pho restaurant imo. ”

“ Came back for the nostalgia because their pickled garlic used to be like crack. They're still a good pho spot. The meat was nice and soft, and the proportions are great. The fresh noodles are really soft so we may opt for the dried noodles next time. Food came out quickly, but the server never came back to check on us. Super quiet on a Monday evening but that suited us just fine. ”
