“ Favorite place for vegetarian pho I like that they serve the veggies on the side and that they give so much tofu. The broth is also so flavorful. ”
“ Came back to try the sate pho. It was delicious. A nice blend of what tasted like khaopoon and pho. BUT I would stick with my regular pho. It was good to try but I'll stick with my original. ”
“ Food was delicious. I got the Bun Bo Hue soup. Don't let the red broth scare you. It was very mild but so flavorful! Husband got the traditional pho and said it was great as well! Lots of fresh herbs and toppings! Pork and shrimp egg rolls also tasted fresh and yummy! We will definitely be adding this place to our rotation! Service was also great! ”
“ Found this place on a whim. Was shopping at river park and craving viet food. Yelped nearby Thai/Vietnamese places and this restaurant popped up. It's a hole-in-the-wall place, easy to miss if you aren't looking. Came in and was acknowledged right away. Was able to sit anywhere. Server came immediately with menu. We ordered shrimp spring rolls their combo pho and Vietnamese sandwich. The server who took our order had trouble communicating with us as she was not fluent in English but she repeated our order and showed us the tablet where she had selected everything we ordered just to confirm it was correct. She was very sweet and nice even though she didn't really speak English. Our food came out in a timely manner and fairly quickly at that. The food blew me away! The sandwich has the perfect amount of crunch without being hard and tearing up my gums. The flavor was on point..savory, sweet and spicy. It could have used a little more meat and daikon but the flavor was there! The pho was on the lighter side, with a more fresh, clean, herb taste as opposed to a deep beefy flavor. I liked the herby taste of the pho, and the thinly sliced meat was so tender and juicy. I was really impressed by the meat quality. Lastly, there were the spring rolls which were pretty average. The peanut sauce that came with it was disappointing. It didn't have much flavor to it and wasn't your typical peanut sauce with spice, sweetness or housin flavor. Overall, I did enjoy all the food we ordered. I would def come to this place again and would recommend for sure!! ”
“ I was in Fresno again, i wanted to try out a new Vietnamese place for lunch on Sunday. I came to this place and as I walked in it was small and aromatic. Outside is abundant parking. Service was good and friendly at first but started to decline the longer I was there. The waitress never smiled nor cared about the customers happiness. She was there to serve and do her job, that's it. She gave out refills to the water and took awhile to serve the food although that's not her fault, it was the cooks. Price for food was not worth the value you pay for in my opinion. Quantity of food was a good portion size, but the flavors and taste of the food was not good. The egg rolls ordered tasted frozen and just heated up a little bit. The chicken and vermicelli noodles were okay but didn't blow me away like other Vietnamese places. It was small interior and a lot of smoke and aromatic fumes were engulfed in the area. The waitress said the juju Fuji apples were free, but they were not. It was more money for the bag. Overall, I thought the food could have been better, the attitude of the waitress could have been better and interior had too much smoke and fumes around to breathe. ”
“ I really love shrimp (or shrimp and pork) spring rolls with the clear rice paper and delicious peanut sauce on the side. I actually think this may be my favorite stand alone dish. If nothing else sounds good, this does. If my stomach is giving me troubles, or I don't feel like cooking, this is a great meal--with your protein, carbs, and salad all rolled into one delicious little roll. Some of the best spring rolls in town come from Com Pho Bamboo. Everything is fresh. The right mixture of fresh herbs, vermicelli noodles, meat and other veggies, all wrapped tight and dipped into peanut sauce--and you have a perfect bite. I love adding some chili oil to the sauce first. W I'm also a fan of the pork and vermicelli noodle dish, as well as the fried tofu appetizer--which they serve with crispy and deep fried basil leaves and fried slices of jalapenos. I guess I should venture out of my comfort zone and try more on the menu. Many of their appetizers and other dishes look very intriguing. But I found what I love early on, and don't see the need to explore beyond the perfection I've found in the dishes I keep coming back to. The one item that I've tried that I'm not a fan of are the boba drinks. I have ordered two different flavors before, and they just taste a bit off. BUT that's not the reason why I come here, so it doesn't bother me. I really love that this is a family restaurant--the service is great, and every time I place my order, it is ready as promised, and it is accurate. I can stop in and get out quickly, and then home in time to enjoy my favorite food. ”
“ First time here. The place was quite small and really quiet because the music was low. We got the sate special pho and special regular pho. The broth for the regular pho was very flavorful even without hoisin sauce/sriracha. It was my first time trying sate pho and it was amazing. I usually get bun Bo hue rather than pho because it has more flavor so I think the sate pho is a good balance. We also got egg rolls which were yummy. Got honeydew melon smoothie with boba and it was okay. Not sure if boba was over cooked or undercooked but it was really hard and not edible Service was great. We asked for shrimp paste and chilli on the side and they had that available Special Pho 8/10 Sate pho 10/10 Egg rolls 7/10 Honeydew smoothie w/ boba 5/10 ”
“ Com Pho Bamboo serves delicious Vietnamese food. From their noodles to the rice dishes to the sandwiches, every dish is fantastic. I'm a fan of the grilled pork + grilled shrimp vermicelli bowl and steak and meatballs pho. The portions are big. I've enjoyed the food in the restaurant and taken it to go. The quality of the food is great both ways. Restaurant is located in a big shopping center. There's plenty of parking available. ”
“ PORTIONS: generous PRICE: appropriate SERVICE: table - serve was THE NICEST AND FASTEST lady in the world SURROUNDINGS: clean and cozy FLAVORS: (+ great, ~ ok, x no) + A9 popcorn chicken had the perfect amount of five spice and basil and just WOW ~ pho was OK but my partner asked for tendon only and the protein was minimal and hard to pick out BONUS TIP: they are really accommodating - the couple behind me kept saying that they were allergic to ALL PEPPER except black pepper so the waitress had to continuously remind the kitchen to beware the pepper (at least 4x while I was there) ”
“ I originally came here for pho because of all the good reviews la But I saw the menu and changed my mind. I got the sate pho instead. I was expecting it to be like the Lao dish khaopoon because of the description but it was different. In a good way. It was coconut milk base. But light so it wasn't overly rich. They give a lot of meat in the dish. It was good. I do wish that they put more condiments on the table to customize our pho. I think they only offer sriracha and hoisin?(4/5) Popcorn chicken, I usually only find these at the boba tea places but they had it here! It was so good. Super crunchy, hot straight of the fryer. (5/5) The Vietnamese coffee. If you've never had Vietnamese coffee definitely try it. But be weary, this coffee is super strong. Had my in my coffee shakes. Make sure to get extra ice so when you're sipping on it the ice melts and dilutes your coffee a bit. (4/5) The grilled pork spring rolls. So good! This is such a nice change from the usual shrimp spring roll. I think this is the only place that has this type of spring roll in Fresno. So good. Highly recommended (5/5) Fried banana. This for me was the star of the show. They're known for their pho. But I was amazed by the fried bananas. They were so good I got three orders to go after I finished my meal. Get these. They're eggrolls wrapped bananas and deep fried. I get these to eat with vanilla ice cream at home. This place is far from where I live but I will make the trip out just for these. (5/5) The service is good. There's only one person working the front. Please be patient. My one complaint is I wish they had some music or the tv going on in the background. I hate the sound of people slurping. And that's all I heard. It was also a little warm in there. But everything else was great. ”
