Phởtochau 999

Long-standing Vietnamese pho institution on Villa Street with nearly 1,000 reviews, beloved for its bold broth and generous portions at everyday prices.

Phởtochau 999 gives a Vietnamese meal on Villa Street in Mountain View a strong noodle-soup foundation without limiting the choices to one kind of pho. Chicken, filet mignon, and a combination of steak, flank, brisket, tendon, and tripe offer different starting points. We like the breadth of those options, from a simple chicken bowl to a more varied beef combination. Bún riêu brings vermicelli, shrimp, tofu, tomatoes, and crab paste mixed with pork into another soup, while bún bò Huế adds a further regional direction. Barbecue pork or chicken bánh mì suits a sandwich craving, and grilled-meat vermicelli and rice plates provide substantial alternatives. Vegetarian pho and spring rolls broaden the selection. The appeal is a familiar downtown Vietnamese restaurant where soup can be the whole meal or the centerpiece of a wider order.
