The vegetables didn't look and taste very fresh either. I barely wanted to eat it because it was half hard and half cold. For goodness sakes.save the old rice to make fried rice. The rice was TERRIBLE! You can totally tell it was leftover microwaved rice they didn't want to waste from yesterday. I went here early on a Saturday morning and ordered mixed vegetables and rice(Mixed vegetables are about the only thing that's vegetarian here). 13:48:58 I've been here three times and they were ALL BAD! Vegetarian fried rice was way too salty. 09:42:32 It's alright for a quick fix (close to campus, one of the few pho places in Davis) but honestly, the food here is pretty bad.Ĭoming from East Side San Jose, i have very high standards when it comes to Vietnamese food. It used to be one of my boyfriend-at-the-time and my favorite asian restaurants, and i was so pissed when i ordered take-out one day and everything i usually ordered was different! grrr, never went back there. 03:56:59 I agree with JulieEickhof about the place going downhill in the end of summer. They also lack decent bike racks nearby, or at least I didn't find any. It is a bit better than CoHo Pho, but not by much, dunno if it is worth the price, the service could be better, food could be better but eh, lacking options and having a want of delicious warm Pho. 00:47:54 Eh, I just like pho, I wish there were a better place in town, tis a shame for pho is so nice on a cold day. It's a very poor record, probably exceeded only by Delta of Venus. You can look at the Yolo County health reports. The restaurant originally opened around the year 2000.Īs many of the comments below note, they do have a history of cleanliness problems. The pho on that night tasted as excellent as usual, so the food probably was not significantly changed. The new owner is hands on, and actually buses table. One of their wait staff said on that the new owner had made changes to make sure the place was cleaner, including renovating the bathrooms.
Hoa Viet changed ownership in mid 2006 and underwent renovation at that time, including reconfiguring the space in the back. It costs a dollar more, but it is well worth it. If you are going to eat pho, try the wide noodles (chow fun noodles) in place of the regular. The pork spareribs are sub-par, unless you like gnawing rubbery flesh off of a rotting bone. The chicken one comes with lots of char-broiled chicken, two egg rolls, and a few shrimp. Also, the #52 (with chicken, beef, or shrimp) is a delicious, very filling noodle dish. Good place for some dinner with a friend.
The price for a large bowl is about $6, which is a good deal considering the serving sizes are ginormous. Still, if pho is what you came for, then you should be pretty satisfied. The pho is pretty good although the broth is a bit oniony. The restaurant is basically right next to campus and across the street from the Aggie Inn hotel. Hoa Viet is one of three Vietnamese restaurants in Davis (the other two are Sunrise Restaurant and Pho King IV). All information here is for historical reference only. This entry refers to a departed business that has closed or left town.
