Reviews for Hometown Noodle Restaurant in Redwood City, CA

Delicious. The waitstaff were quick and as responsive in the perfect way you want at a restaurant (ie, they don?t keep pestering... you and can recognize when you need something). That said, I was also there at a calm time when only 2-3 other tables were full. Read more

Bad service, one of the women physically pushed my elbow away, they almost gave me the wrong change and had a snarky attitude.... On the other hand, it is late and they seemed tired. Nonethless, I thought it was rude. The food however is really good. Slightword of caution, they also handle the food with the gloves they handle the money with. Read more

Food is delicious. Reasonable pricing. Orders are prepared so fast that there isn't much wait, so this is a great option if... you're already hungry. I'm a regular there, and I don't live close by. But whenever I'm around the area, this is always anexcellent dinner option. Read more

Food is good but this is not the place if you want service. I walked in with a friend, there were 4 tables already seated. We... waiting about 2 minutes, the people at the front table looked at us several times, not understanding why, I go to the cashregister to see if anyone could help me. A man who had been eating got up and asked if he could help. Turns out, that was ourserver. We were seated and 6 minutes after we stopped looking at our menu the same person returned to take our order. The foodcame out pretty quickly but that would be the last time anyone engaged us. I had to walk to the register and wait for someone toacknowledge us. Finally i asked for the bill and he just told me the amount. I asked if I could see the bill and he showed methe ticket he wrote the order on with no prices. I requested to see the bill, like any other restaurant. He was very frustrated.Finally he gave me a bill, i paid and left. Again the food is good but the service is non-existent. Read more

I found this place in Redwood city, it was called pho 102,pretty tasty food, phos and rice plates , appetizers also, I over... heard the waiter tell.the guys next to me " No.share" on the noodle bowls. UUHHH yeah, ok, you can feed 3 people on thatbowl,.anyhow, food was.good and water actually tasted bottled, good price, super fast serving for sure. Parking is very limiteddue to it being on a main street and other bussiness next doors . Read more

Home food with a nice modern atmosphere. The menu is easy to read and they offer a variety of bowl sizes for pho. Prices are... higher than the one listed in google map, add $3.00 to all dishes. The real estate prices in Silicon Valley are killing theretail shops. Sorry, but the food is great and they always are packed with customers. Read more

Great Phoa Soup! Steak is my go too and it was great on such a gloomy day. Bit crowded during business lunch hours but they... clean those tables and get you seated quickly. Read more

I have been dining at Hometown Noodle for well over 10 years - 2008 till 2019. It used to be a much better place, sad to see how... qualityad declined. Perhaps there was an ownership change - the lady I used to see behind the counter was no longer there thelast 2 times I came. FOOD: 4/5 Definitely the solid point of this restaurant. The taste is authentic - as a Vietnamese Iguarantee it. Portion is big. I like that the noodle soup isn?t overly sweet, which is a problem at other Vietplaces. SERVICE:2/5 Ultra rude. Nothing more I can say. Maybe it?s better just to order takeaway. Also, we?ve been seeing somebugs in our plates, so they don?t have great insect repellent strategy in place! DECOR/LOCATION: 3/5 They repainted the insideto warmer tones, which is easy on the eye. The decor is barebone, though, nothing ultra comfy. It?s in an easy to find part ofRedwood city, lots of parking places. Read more
