Happy Bowl Restaurant

They have remodeled the place and it looks nice. The wall that used to be open is closed up. Lots of lightning and two tvs. Looks bigger, same great food!

I went here with my mom. I got chicken pho and she got vegetable pho. The broth is delicious. The noodles are pretty tasty, and the chicken was very tender. The chilly oil really makes it impossible not to finish the bowl. A day later and I’m still ruminating on the eggplant in garlic sauce we also ordered. The eggplant was fried crispy beneath delicious sweet and savory sauce. The eggplant itself was melt-in-your-mouth juicy on the inside. The desserts looked really good too but they were all out.

I ordered the braised beef noodle soup. It was pretty good, I enjoyed it. However in the bottom of my bowl were several shards of wood. I assume these were pieces of cinnamon stick used to flavor the broth that broke off. There were also some whole cloves. I appreciate that they flavor the broth with whole spices like this but just beware of this if you order any soup.

I don't think they have their parking space so park near by Market We ordered vegan Spring roll and vegan pho. The spring roll were ok need cilantro, carrots....
The vegan/vegetable pho was perfect!! The broth had a lot of flavor and the portion was huge. They give you a container they know you can't finish it! Service was fast and friendly.

Coming back from a long trip back to the Bay Area, we stop by for some pho because constantly eating fast food was just not healthy and getting bored of. Found this restaurant which had excellent reviews and it turned out great! While the beef noodle soup had rich flavors, the meat was a little too over cooked/firm. (I guess we had an unlucky visit). Pho was definitely worth it for its price and size. The chicken chow mien is also recommended with sauces that is 10x better than any other noodle in the Bay Area. Other wise this small noodle shop is a must visit. (Also take advantage of the no sales tax before entering into California 😉)
