Viet Noms Vietnamese - Livermore

Your reviews and reviews are misleading. It is highly rated, but most are 2 to 3 years plus. Maybe you change me from boss or owner? We ordered the boy beef pho and it had only noodles and no beef. It is basically only beef flavoured. Misleading. The waiter should have told us. The waiters seem to be new rentals. The Indian lady always took our order and when the other Asian girl came, the Indian lady came back and asked for our order. No coordination. The Indian girl was friendly, but not the Asian girl who took our order. You should be clear on this menu. The Bun bo HUE tastes too sweet and tomoto flavored, and the ingredients do not taste fresh. More frozen and reheated. The beef salad was terrible. It had old peanut and dated fried onion taste. How things have long been relocated and bad for taste. It was one and done for us. I don't know how it is rated so high by other critics. Overall, I left a 15% tip to be nice, but honestly I was not satisfied with my service and food. I am Vietnamese and I do not ask that it is authentic as the ones we have in San Jose, but we expect the food not to use old ingredients and is at least a bit better and decent. That was just terrible.

Food was good. Service was good until my partner and I found an eyelash in both our pho and bun Bo hue. We showed it to the waitress on a napkin. She took it to show another waitress (maybe owner) and that was it. No one came back or said anything about it after that. No acknowledgement of it or an apology. Disappointing.

Serving sizes are huge. At least for the noodle soups. Bun rieu could have been 2-3 servings in Vietnam. I thoroughly enjoyed it though I honestly can't remember what it was like previously. Could have had more crab flavor? Banh khot was not bad. Had a good crispiness to it.

Review is for food service only not for the interior which is ok not upscale though. All the appetizers- Papaya Salad, imperial Roll, Salad Roll with Shrimp Pork sandwiches take away jalapeños) were delicious. Tomato Soup with crab, Chicken pho was equally tasty. Excellent food overall that includes copious amount of mung sprouts fresh herbs.

Neat setup in a quiet strip mall near residential. Decent flavor but nothing extraordinary to offset the pricier menu. Service is very good tho compared to other Asian restaurants. Overall a convenient neighborhood pho if you live nearby.
