Pho'Dera

The food was really good. Will definitely come back again. The Ube Boba Tea was 5 ⭐️

Truly a one stop Asian food restaurant. Vietnamese, Laos, Chinese and Boba. This place works a bit differently. It's like a fast food style. Order, pay and sit. Same fast service as expected. Got some pho, Vietnamese style chicken curry, it's actually pretty good. Some Thai tea, egg rolls and a Vietnamese sandwich. The sandwich looks great but the sauce paste is lacking. Need a lot more.

We rolled in off the freeway at night with screaming kids and had no idea there was anything like this in Madera, as we're not from the area. Ordered, the woman was friendly and funny at the counter, sat down and out came HUGE bowls of perfectly made pho, eggrolls, fried rice, more egg rolls (!), and sauces. The kids, who are very picky eaters, loved it. We made the right choice to trust in this restaurant. Service was very attentive and fast, food came out promptly, and everything was absolutely delicious. We made a large and complicated order and they aced it to boot. Highly recommend this little gem of a restaurant.

I'd never had pho but went to Pho'dera with a business colleague who loves this place. I was impressed by the meal and friendly service. The food was very good. Inside looks like a fast food place, but our waitress brought us menus and our food and drinks. A very pleasant experience. A great little Pho place, captive audience in Madera. The closest that is even passable is all the way into Fresno, so this place does well. The quality is decent, and the prices are great.

I want to share my experience at pho’dera and warn long term customers and or anyone wanting to try this place. I’ve been a customer for over 10 years now and I’ve had 2 other incidents of finding hair in my food and to be exact it was the spring rolls, I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt and let it go, but today I had yet another incident with hair in 2 of my kids plates as well as a whole FLY. I’m extremely disappointed and disgusted and I can no longer give them excuses. There seems to be a huge issue of sanitation and I advise everyone to avoid this place and to be careful.

Whenever we pass thru Madera we make it a point to stop for their Pho soups. The broth is full flavored comfort in a bowl! And don't pass up ordering their noodle salads, nothing like them anywhere, they are right up there with "must eats" & last but not least, don't leave without treating yourself to any one of their refreshing Boba drinks, Honeydew is our fav 👍

DISCLAIMER - I've eaten in most major cities with many different options for food. For a small city, the food here is good for what it's worth. But here is my honest review: I am always on a mission to see who has the best Pad Thai. Unfortunately, this pad thai was dankier than what I'm used to. Pad Thai should have a good mix of sweet, sour, and savory - this just wasn't hitting all those notes. It was missing the sourness from Tamarind. The calamari was different. It was crispy, but tossed in a light sauce. If you don't eat it right away, it starts to get soggy. The squid skin wasn't taken off, so it was extra chewy - not a big fan. Grilled Pork Bahn-mi was sub-par. It was pretty dry, the meat were just bits and parts that consisted of what seemed like end meats - fatty & tough. Meat was a touch over cooked which made the sandwich even drier.
