Amazing food and service. I was impressed with the quality of food and delicious broth. We ordered spring rolls, summer rolls, and different types of pho. All of it was really good, and the meatballs were especially tasty. We've visited their previous location and have followed them to their new location, which is really nice and easy to get to with plenty of parking. Very friendly staff and the restaurant decor is nice.

This is a place my wife frequents on her lunch break and she's been trying to tear me away from the usual spot I go to and, I'll say this, it's a good second place from my other one. I had the P5 (rare flank and well-done brisket), and the broth was about a 7.5-8 out of 10 for me, and the meat itself was great, a 9/10. We also ordered a seafood combo pho, and my wife always loves it. She gives it a 10/10. The pork egg rolls were tasty as long as they were hot, but once they cooled off, they became mushy inside. The service was my biggest complaint, the host/server was not very friendly and did not take his eyes off his phone the whole time we and other customers were eating, one of the other couples had to get up twice to get his attention to give them water, and their appetizer. We had to do the same with the water refills. This person had bleached blond hair and a few tattoos on his arms. All and all, I'd still return, I would just hope for a friendlier person at the door or taking orders.

Super fresh and flavorful chicken pho and rice for plates! The waiters are friendly and the very prompt. Neighborhood favorite for us! Homey and clean!

It was ok. The broth is salty but it's clean. I got more meat and less noodles while others in my group got more noodles and less meat. The rolls were tasty. I would come back to try other things. Overall it was fine.

I've tried a ton of pho places in the area, this one is great. Meat is good and portions are big. Even the small has tons of noodles. Broth isn't the best I've ever had but honestly I still come back, it's decent! But the meat and noodles are always perfect. Service is fast too.

We have been coming to Pho Lyfe every week for the past 4 years. We loved walking across the street to have our Vietnamese food. My kids love to eat here. They always share a large pho ga. They recently moved to Sunnyvale in the dollar tree/mcdonalds/club Pilates shopping center. A little farther for us but we still love coming! The new location is really nice! The food is always consistent and the servers are always kind to us.

What do I like about this place? Well, it's consistency. Never have I gone and been disappointed. Good service, good food. I always order steak and meatballs. I left another local spot I had been going to for roughly 15 years, and Pho lyfe gained me as a customer.
