Phamous Cafe - Eastern Goleta Valley

Tom I couldn't have had a better meal. I had the Spicy Lemongrass chicken. Not overly spicy fresh vegetables. The price is great for great food. Too bad they're not open on Tues. Vegetarian options: We're not vegetarian but careful about our intake of certain foods. Dietary restrictions: The menu has a vegetarian portion. The owner informed us that they bring in daily fresh vegetables. Parking: We had plenty of parking stalls to pick from. Feet from their front door Kid-friendliness: We came in Monday evening l restaurant is set up for the elderly and children. I read it caters to students in the area. Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessibility isn't a problem. No steps or stairs

Definitely recommended their Iced Milk Coffee. So creamy and delicious, service was excitedly quick to make/serve my drink.

This is what you need on an overcast day. The broth was excellent as far as restaurant broths go. I got the P4 rare steak and beef meatballs (with tiny chewy tendons in the meatballs). This is authentic, not watered down pho, served the proper garnishes (Thai basil and bean sprouts). It’s a light soup, despite the beef and the smaller portion was more than enough for me.Does the broth have msg? Probably, but you have to realize that a dash of msg in a giant vat of broth is different than msg sprinkled into every dish at a Chinese restaurant. I’m sensitive to msg but didn’t get a headache here.The service was super fast and my pho came out within 5 minutes of arrival. Is the staff super friendly? Not really, but they’re not rude. My people have been through A LOT. ? The restaurant was very clean and the pho was top notch!

They are so kind and friendly and the food was fabulous.

Phabulous place to eat, pho sho!Got to give props to the owner for going all in on the wordplay associated with the name of the signature dish. The Pho itself was cooked in an excellent broth, with an authentic taste and relatively decent prices. My only gripe would be that the amount of pho noodle in the regular size bowl is a bit stingy and nowhere near enough if you're more than a little hungry.
