Pho Mama on Paseo proved to be a delightful experience overall, marked by delicious Vietnamese flavors and exceptional service. The staff were the real highlight of our experience. From the moment we walked in with our baby, they were incredibly friendly and accommodating. They went out of their way to find us a suitable spot that provided enough space and comfort for our little one, which was greatly appreciated. We ordered their Pho, the seafood garlic noodles, and the fried chicken dish. The Pho was fantastic. The broth was rich, fragrant, and deeply flavorful – exactly what you crave in a good bowl of pho. The noodles were delicious and the seafood, equally good. Unfortunately, the fried chicken dish was the only letdown of our meal. While the flavor itself was decent, the portion size of the chicken was surprisingly small. For the price point, I had anticipated a more substantial serving. The 4 pieces of chicken we received felt meager and didn't quite align with the value offered by the other dishes. Despite this I would still return to Pho Mama given the opportunity. The quality of the Pho and the noodles were enough for me to return!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at PHO MAMA and was thoroughly impressed! The atmosphere of the restaurant is inviting and comfortable, with a modern design and nice touches like the decorative ceiling elements and a lively, yet cozy, vibe. Now, onto the food – it was absolutely fantastic! I tried both their classic Pho and what appeared to be their Bun Bo Hue (spicy noodle soup), and both were packed with flavor. The pho broth was rich and aromatic, and the Bun Bo Hue had a wonderful depth with a nice kick, complemented perfectly by the fresh jalapeño slices and herbs. We also indulged in their crispy chicken wings, which were perfectly golden and came with a delicious sauce, making them an excellent appetizer. Another standout was the grilled short ribs over vermicelli noodles, which was a beautifully presented and incredibly flavorful dish. The ribs were tender and smoky, pairing wonderfully with the fresh noodles and spring roll. The service was attentive and the food arrived promptly. PHO MAMA truly offers a great Vietnamese dining experience. I highly recommend it for anyone craving authentic and delicious Vietnamese cuisine!

I ordered the Veggie, Chicken Noodle Soup with Fresh Noodles and a Vietnamese Milk Coffee with Boba (light ice). My partner ordered the Veggie, Tofu Noodle Soup with Fresh Noodles and Vietnamese Coffee with Boba (hot) - which I got to try as well. Food came out pretty quickly, which I was happy about. The broth was delicious, however I don’t think I will order the Veggie, Chicken / Veggie Tofu options next time, as the generous serving of veggies altered the flavor of the broth too much for my liking. I also wasn’t a huge fan of the Fresh Noodles in the pho - so will probably stick to the default option next time. The Vietnamese Coffee was really good as well - I preferred the iced version over hot. Overall, I had a pleasant experience and will go back again in the future.

This place is one of my favorite places in Fremont! They have the best pho and they will even customize it if you ask. For example, I love Pho but I prefer with the bbq short ribs, and they made it for me. I love pretty much everything on the menu and the service is wonderful and fast.

First time visiting Pho Mama in Fremont and we absolutely loved the food, the atmosphere and the service! Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good Vietnamese spot in Fremont for dinner or for lunch. I like that the food is not that salty compared to some other Vietnamese places where they overdo it on salt and seasoning. This place is perfect! Great for kids too.

Thank you for fulfilling my pregnancy cravings! The food was absolutely amazing. I’ve been to many Vietnamese restaurants thought out the Bay Area, and this has to be the best tasting Pho I’ve ever had! The restaurant is clean and beautifully decorated with a modern feel. Fast and friendly service with affordable prices. I will be back to enjoy more. Thank you!!

Excellent food, and service. The food always tastes the same and good. There is enough variety to try different items at different times. Though some of the non-Vietnamese items in the menu such as pad thai is not so tasty. I am happy to have a restaurant like this in Fremont.
