I've seen the reviews for VVF but really didn't have a desire to visit. Not a big fan of Mall Food Courts and not a really big fan of Pho. So this place was not on the top of my list. My wife wanted some Pho and do some shopping and PV Mall. She mentioned the Pho place I mentioned to her. So Valley Vietnamese Food was it.
This is a mom and pop shop in the mall. Not to often you find this in the food court. So I ordered the Spring Rolls and I got to tell you. It was bigger than all the other places I got spring rolls. Longer. Had fresh shrimp and beef inside. Very fresh. Didn't seem like it was pre-made. The peanut sauce was really good. My wife and I really loved it. It was so good.
I ordered the Pho Tai Bo Vien which basically had Meatballs and beef. It was really good. Fresh veggies. Fresh beef. Tender beef and the meatballs. So good. Me and my wife tried to figure out what kind of meat were in the Meatballs but couldn't figure it out. I tell you what. It was probably one of the best Pho I had. Really good. Gobbled it all up and it's a huge bowl. It's an actual bowl and they give you a real soup spoon too. All you have to do is bring the bowls and spoons back to the counter.
My wife got the Pho Meatballs. She really liked it too. It was way too much for her so she brought the rest home and ate it later that night. No complaints from her.
After I order the food, I was expecting them to yell my name and slide the food on the food counter. Not here. I was looking down at my phone and the mother of the owner hand delivered the tray to me. Very nice touch. Really appreciated this.
So this is no ordinary food court place. Great food. Cheap food. Huge portions. We ordered two Pho and spring rolls for $17. What a deal. Very nice service. So I feel even through this is in a food court, I had a really good dinner.
I even talked to the owner and asked him why he started this business in a food court cause mom and pop shops never start in food courts. Anyways, he said that this is his first restaurant and didn't know where to go so he went here. I love mom and pop shops.
This guys really good. Loved it and will definitely be back. I encourage all you Yelpers to give this place a try and show some Yelp luv here. It's really worth it.
