Central Market 517 South B Street, San Mateo, CA 94401

"Had the chicken pho and it was amazing. Chicken was well seared and she managed layer many layers of flavor that worked beautifully together. Would definitely visit again!"

"I discovered the "BEST" Vietnamese Pho in San Mateo. Lien truly makes the most delicious and flavorful chicken and seafood Pho rice noodle soups. I love how friendly Lien and Karen were when I visited Central Market. This little market/cafe gem is located on B Street and 6th Avenue in downtown San Mateo."

"If you don’t have a CA license you can’t buy alcohol here. Was refused service because the worker can’t tell what a real, non-CA ID looks like, so they won’t even take the risk. I’m also 27, so not like we’re threading the needle here. Unbelievable."

"Great place for some bahn mi, vermicelli bowl, and some pho. Everything is made fresh once you order owners are friendly and makes you feel at home. This place has been in business for a long time and I only find out about them by word my friend. Please support your local business and this place is a must try."

"I LOVE LOVE LOVE their food. Their vegetables are ALWAYS fresh-I love that the veggies change all the time-their Tofu sandwich takes me to a happy place-the Veggi Chow Mein is my go to EVERY time-the rest of the family gets the chicken-if you like spicy best believe it comes SPICY-their portions are abundant-the ladies are ALWAYS friendly and greet you like family-when Mama is there she always asks about my family and my "handsome" 73 year old dad (I found out he was sneakin over there and eating without me)-their kitchen closes early some days however if you call ahead of time they'll get it ready for you to pick up later."
