Reviews for Pho Auntie 7 in Castro Valley, CA
Food came out fast, staff was attentive even though we sat near the back. Lots of specialized dishes that you can't always find... at your typical pho spot! We'll be back! Read more
Sticker shocked when I went there. Almost $16 for this a small bowl of pho. Ending up paying over $20 for myself after taxes and... tip (no drink). Pretty bland broth. Not terrible but also not impressed. No reason to go back. Read more
Visited for dinner around 8pm on Monday with a group of four. Restaurant was mostly full aside from a few small tables and two... for four towards the back, so we were seated immediately. Service was very friendly and quick - got our food under 10 minutesafter ordering. We ordered the Woven Noodles appetizer to share which split nicely (meatballs and sugarcane shrimp, 2 balls eachwere easy to cut in half). All meats were very tender and tasted great with the fine noodles and fish sauce. I ordered thebuild-your-own combination vermicelli plate with pork, grilled meatballs, and a spring roll. In retrospect this was very similarto the appetizer but I enjoyed it anyway! Also felt brave and tried the EGG SODA! It was surprisingly good and a nice fizz -condensed milk definitely was the main flavor and made it quite sweet, egg taste was subtle and similar to the egg foam made totop coffees. Overall looking forward to going back to try some of the more unique items on the menu! Read more
Worse grilled chicken rice plate ever. The chicken was hard, dry and felt like its from overnight. Ive had this dish at others... places before and never saw it this terrible. Please stop selling this on your menu, its a scam to us consumers. Read more
My husband and I came here for lunch on the Sunday before memorial day and it was BUSY! There were two tables outside and we... wanted to the spot outside that just left. We walked into the restaurant and was greeted right away. We asked for the tableoutside that wasn't cleaned yet. The host called to another person to clean the table. The table cleaner was busy working on 3to 4 other tables that was left inside. We waited some minutes for the table outside to be cleaned. The wait didn't feel longbecause my husband and I were enjoying the day. We were actually approached again by another person. They made sure we werehelped. We got seated and it did feel like awhile before the server came out with menus. By this time we were very hungry. Themenus came out and we looked through. They had many authentic dishes that were listed with pictures. I like to shop by thepictures so I looked for which picture looks best. In any case, we ordered shrimp ???? rolls, banh beo, bun rieu, and noodledish. They all looked very delicious. The banh beo was super fun to eat. We like the original one better than the one with thepeanut sauce but in either case, both styles of banh beo was very tasty. We'd have to eat 20 of those too get full. I recommendgetting this dish as an appetizer and to share. Also, their fish sauce was on point. It wasn't too plain. And one good traitthat this restaurant did right was to have plain/raw fish sauce at the table for people like me that was it extraflavorful. They took our order and the food literally came out right away. Most of the dishes were hot. Though I thought my bunrieu could have been hotter but that's because I like my soups HOT. Even so, the temperature of the soup was good. I didn't burnmy tongue. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his noodle dish because towards the end, he told me that he was full but he couldn'tstop eating because the meat was so good so he kept at it until the plate was cleaned. We were so full and satisfied th Read more
About $25 a person after tip. Fresh food and perfect balance of flavors and textures. I did enjoy the whole experience and will... be back for more. They even had some gatcha coin op machines for the kids. The tables were clean and the staff were more thanhelpful and they actually had a pair of food scissors available. Read more
Ordered the grilled chicken and rice also comes with a side of soup, it was real good and tasty. Employees do wear mask and... customers have option to wear mask. Bathroom are kept cleaned. And excellent customer service. Read more
My new favorite Vietnamese restaurant. Pho broth is seasoned just right for my taste. Generous amount of fresh basil,... beansprouts, peppers, and steak (we had #13 - rare steak) Combination rice plate (grilled pork, shrimp, and chicken) wasprepared with the perfect amount of seasonings and temperature. Relatively new restaurant (~ 2 years) on the Boulevard. Theparking lot on the side is shared with a liquor store, so finding an open space is hit or miss. We settled for street parkingin the back with no problem. Read more
