Pho 87

Absolutely love this place. I first came here with my father around 2019 and we absolutely love it. Our server(s) were extremely hospitable and made us feel at home. Pricing is a but expensive but your are paying for amazing food. Decorations were adorable and made me feel as if though I had walked into my aunts house. I was treated as a family member by Mai ( ?I believe thats how you spell it? )and I always came here for my birthdays and school celebrations. Overall, I really recommend Pho87 and continue to be a costumer after almost 4 years!

Cool little spot on the outskirts of China town. The owner was friendly and funny. She stayed and chatted with me at the table. She had a dry sarcastic sense of humor which becomes very apparent with the signs on the wall. Food was excellent. I tried their oxtail pho. Super tender meat, fresh basil limes and beansprouts. The soup was much more flavorful then a lot of the other pho places in the area. The food here is a bit higher priced then other pho places. If that's a concern you should question why you don't think you're worth spending a few more dollars on yourself. Overall I had a great experience and I'll sure I'll return

I thought it was closed when I walked in, not a very inviting place. I noticed the empty restaurant. Someone came to greet me, seemed like they came from the kitchen. He sat me then asked if I was ready to order, I ordered a Thai ice tea and water. Then when he returned with them I ordered the Chicken Pho or (White boy special) as listed on the menu. Looking around the place was really falling apart and looks like maybe someone lives there. I saw a sign that said "if our foods dont meet your standards, lower your standards. People with lower standards are happier" and another sign that said "Our prices are high, if your not willing to pay for good food go somewhere else." I felt uneasy, I felt like I should dash for the door, but it was too late I had already ordered. I was delightfully surprised to see how fresh the limes, bean sprouts, and thai basil was, this is often my first indicator that the place is a good pho restaurant. The "White Boy Special" was steaming hot and it looked so fresh, the chicken looked like it had been cooked by the broth. The noodles were wider than most pho restaurants but it was a just tender as the thinner noodles. I slurped up the noodles and broth so fast, I even think my, server/cook/host got joy from me eating his soup. It was a pleasant surprise. I hope more people have a similar experience! I also would love to see the place be renovated and opened up to be a more inviting place.

Pho 87 is one of those small restaurants that has amazing tasting food but when your there you just wonder how the hell they are still in business. The place is always empty, and has been for the last 6 years I have eaten here. I always get the grilled beef Pho, just add s little Sriracha for a little heat on the back end and you have the perfect PHO. The downside is the politics. The owner is pretty conservative and she lets you know it. I couldn’t care about the owners politics at any restaurant, as I just want to eat some good food and feel I got my money’s worth. When I have to hear about politics at dinner and it isn’t brought up by a family member it isn’t what I want to hear. I have to imagine plenty of people who have complete opposite view from her being completely disgusted and never wanting to return.

I've searched for good pho all over the valley. I went through Yelp and i couldn't believe how bad the top reviewed phos were. Then I found this place and my search was over. Best pho I ever had. Prices are definitely high and it's so worth it. My boyfriend thought he didn't like pho until I had him try this place. Now he realizes it's all about the quality. I'm so grateful to have found this place.

I love going here for the oxtail pho. This is where I had pho for the first time, and have been going here for a few years. The people there are very friendly, and the lady there is one of the most friendliest people I have ever met. When I go there, I look forward to conversing with her. I have been to other places, and it is just not as good as what I get here.
