Phomono Vietnamese Cuisine

This is my new favorite pho place!
I had the rare beef pho and a Vietnamese spring roll. The broth was very flavorful and I got a lot of beef! Normally pho places don't give you a lot. I really like the Decor of this place and I enjoyed eating here. I would go here again and again on this cold winter days!

I don't know what is up with the spread of restaurants that claim to be vietnamese cuisine but also do chinese cuisine on the menu. :T The banner actually says "vietnamese cuisine" but when you take a closer look at their menu, they don't use any vietnamese words, and they do a whole bunch of diff stuff not common on a vietnamese cuisine menu. Again, probably targeted to a different demographic... And I could totally see based on what people came in for a sit down meal. But this is definitely not a place I can have dinner with my family who expect authentic experience.

I got the house special pho in small size. I will say that the pho taste was alright, albeit on the lighter side. What stood out was that my pho had quite a lot of meat toppings. A plus for me. Noodles were done well, just right.

My parents did not like the nuoc mam with their rice plate, and said it was too sour, not enough fish sauce. That in itself ruined their meal unfortunately. Well also the fact that they realized this place wasn't authentic based on the fact that the staff do not speak vietnamese and the menu itself entirely catered to non vietnamese people.

Service was great though. We got a hot tea and a lemon water each. That's pretty special. The restaurant uses an ipad for ordering and its pretty useful to get an idea of what to order if you don't know what any thing on there is.

Beef vermicelli bowl and rice rolls were pretty good. Nothing overly spectacular about them but they were delicious.

Service could have been more attentive considering how there were only a few other customers when I was there. I was not given tea until I requested for it (it is customary for restaurants to at least ask you if you would like a beverage upon sitting down). I suggest that service should focus more on customers, especially when there weren't that many customers in the restaurant (and they were all finishing up as well).

Pho was "okay" but the coffee really killed my experience. Yes, to MSG burn after eating noodles.

Crappy Vietnamese coffee. Don't waste your money.

I came here on a Monday afternoon with a friend because we were both craving pho. This pho place recently opened up near my area not too long ago.
It wasn't that busy and we got seated right away.
They have an iPad menu which was convenient.
The place itself was quite nice and the decor was subtle, nothing too over the top.

The foods seems to be a fusion of Asian styles with a nice selection of items. My friend and I both got the rare beef pho and spring rolls, our usual and the broth was great. The broth taste was clear with not a lot of MSG like other places, so that was a plus. The portion for a small size pho was also great, lots of noodles.

The waiter that seated us and took our orders was nice and friendly. He was attentive and I asked about the free dessert for yelp and he gave it to me after our meal.

I would definitely come back again when I'm craving pho, it was priced fairly and very close by.

Mediocre Vietnamese food. They use chinese flat noodles instead of the thing Viet rice noodles you usually have at other places.

Service was fast and they were attentive. They use an IPAD for ordering food. Pretty innovative but not the most efficient. I got the rare beef PHO and it was okay. My Boyfriend got the vermicelli and it looked and tasted okay. We asked for cooked sprouts an they charged us $1 dollar for it.

All in all, i don't think we'll be back to this place. I also remember their dishes are tad bit more than the usual market price for Vietnamese food.

The food itself wasn't bad - if only all our orders came. This was my second time here and this time we ordered a bowl of noodles and an appetizer. Only the noodles came, so not sure if there was a glitch in their ipad ordering system or something. We had to request bean sprouts that usually came with the order - no big deal but if you don't ask you don't get.

Also our drinks never came (just tea) and had to request again midway through the meal. Considering the place was near empty with 1 or 2 other tables, I can't imagine what they would do if it gets busy...

3.5 stars. We came as a group and ordered using the iPad system which was very glitchy. Service wasn't very responsive, it took us ~15mins just to get the spring roll appetizers. On the plus side, the food was good with large portions and inexpensive prices. A good spot if you're not in a huge rush and don't mind the ipads system!

Working in the desolate Concord area, I thought Pho Mono would be a decent lunch option in an area deprived of worthwhile places for food. (East Side Mario's? No thanks!)

Why does it take 20 bloody minutes to present to me a bowl of pho? It was not busy at all when me and a friend stopped by for lunch. Even an okay Viet place on a lull period can whip up a decent meal in 5-10 minutes.

And when my order did finally arrive, I found the broth lacking in taste, like it was watered down. The noodles were tightly clumped together. Even the sriracha on our table was watered down for some strange reason. It just was not a good first impression.

The folks staffing the joint were absolutely friendly, for some positive score, even if service is about as slow as the food. There is also the novelty of the iPad menu scheme they use. If i suppose some co-workers want to go here to escape the office together, sure I might come back and hope to be surprised. Overall I felt like the time spent didn't match up with the quality of their product.

One night in search of something different we found this spot. My husband ordered satay beef with a side of steamed rice. I ordered the beef stew pho.

My husband was surprised at how spicy his food was. There had been no mention on the menu about the dish being spicy.

My soup was spicy too. I can't say that I remember them saying it was spicy but I still enjoyed it very much.

The place was clean and a little quiet. There were about 3-4 other tables with guests at them.
