Enjoyed the set up of this place and how they had everything accessible condiment wise for your pho on the table. Service was quick.
I have started hitting 999 Pho pretty regularly as it is hands down the best pho in Reno. They have a pretty large menu and I am excited to start working through it, as nothing I've had is anything short of amazing. This time I went with the Broken Rice Combination Plate and we shared a Combination Banh Mi. Both were delicious. This is the first time I have gotten something other than pho and it didn't disappoint. The pork chop was cooked perfectly, the pork skin was tender, and the shrimp and egg cakes both hit the spot. They are fast and efficient with their service! If you go on the weekends, you're likely to be 2-4 tables back on the list, but it usually flies by. The food is ready QUICKLY. Absolutely a must hit in Reno
I ordered the Tofu Vermicelli and received a delicious, generous portion! The vegetables were fresh and the tofu was seasoned well. I also ordered the Vietnamese Iced Coffee and had never been served one this way before! It was a fun & interactive way to enjoy a great cup of coffee! I can absolutely see why this place is always packed!
Last time we were at their old location. Since then they moved to this new location. Much more modern and clean. I actually didn't put two and two together until I wrote this review and realized I'm consistent in my rating with giving the 4 stars. 999 Pho is 10 minutes away from Reno airport. They have a variety of items from rice to pho to chow mein to rice noodles to sandwiches. We ordered: Ox tail pho ($18) - came with a few small ox tails. The broth was clean and sweet. Dice beef filet mignon ($18) - came w rice and veggies. Seasoning was alright, could be more aromatic and bold, as well as tender texture. Keep in mind that take out orders under steam rice/broken rice is an additional $0.50 charge. Our table also order spring rolls and stir fried rice noodles. She meant to order chow mein but pointed to the photo so it came out with the flat rice noodles. Last time we were at their old location. Since then they moved to this new location.

2/2 Came back to one of our favs with some friends. Was greeted immediately and sat. Nice big table for 4 of us. Service was great and quick . Forgot to get server name but was excellent . Food came out pretty quick . Got some Firecracker shrimp as appetizer, very good nice and crispy . Got my combination vermicelli and a Thai iced tea with boba . My food was delish and everyone else enjoyed what they got as well. All in all was a good evening with friends and good food . Enjoy !!!!
We popped in here for lunch right before our flight back to LA, and it was a solid choice! The restaurant itself is super spacious, airy, and really clean. Plus, the service was fast, efficient, and friendly, which is exactly what you want when you have a flight to catch. Food-wise, we got a big bowl of the beef pho (pho bo) and a vermicelli bun with grilled pork. The pho broth was awesome, really authentic, flavorful, and hit the spot. The only downside was the grilled pork on the vermicelli; it just wasn't that good and lacked flavor. Overall, it was a really good experience and we left satisfied and full before heading to the airport. Definitely a reliable spot for a quick, comforting meal in Reno!
999 pho doesn't disappoint. Healthier choice than other places to eat out for sure. This time we tried the pork buns and fresh spring rolls. The buns were unique and had a soft sweet taste to them. I am glad I tried them. The spring rolls were too bland for me, even with the dipping sauce. Just needed something. We got biscuit beef broth pho. lOVE the plate of fresh veggies that you can throw into the soup and love that you can add your own spice and flavors. I am so amazed at how much food you get there. We shared a bowl of pho and it was plenty. 5/5 for flavor right there! I had my eye on others that had huge bowls of vermacilli noodles that I will be back to try next!
Visiting from Honolulu where there are a lot of pho restos to choose from. I was in the mood for something soupy and my friend took us here as it's one of their favorite places for pho. Arrived on a Thursday at abt 1:30pm. Half full, few tables of Asian families. Good sign! We were promptly seated as a group of four, given menus, and iced waters without prompting. We ordered the #13, 14, 16 and oxtail soup, plus spring rolls to share. And an iced coffee for me. I was pleased to see condiments and utensils readily available at each table. The chili sauces look homemade? Food came out within minutes. The broth was tasty, the beef was tender, and the noodles! Thin and chewy. Just the right portions. Iced coffee was strong and delicious. I didn't taste MSG in the broth. Service was efficient and courteous, all staff were smiley. Bright and spacious, looks clean. Bathrooms were clean too. It was a good place for a first meal in Reno!
Food? Always delicious. Service? HORRENDOUS. I've came here an and enjoyed the service but ever since the new management has taken over, there is no sense of customer service. My wife was looking for what to drink and the waitress tapped her pen so loud against her booklet like we were wasting her time. I argued with the waitress about what noodles were what and she just kept fighting back. I've never had this happen in my life. They have no sense of saying "you're welcome" when you say thank you. They just ignore you. Also, the DEFINITELY don't check on you to see if you need anything else. You even have to get up and ask for a box because once you put the order in, they completely forget about you. I'm infuriated with the service. What trash.
I live in California and have tried a lot of pho places from LA all the way up to San Jose, so I never expected Reno to be where I would find one of the best bowls of pho I've ever had. The veggie pho was amazing. The broth was rich and flavorful, and it came with plenty of fresh vegetables and tofu. A lot of veggie pho can taste bland or watered down, but this one had so much flavor on its own. We also got the combination broken rice, which came with a generous amount of food and a little bit of everything. The meats were well seasoned and grilled perfectly, and everything on the plate went really well together. The staff was friendly and made us feel welcome, and the service was quick without feeling rushed. I also really liked the open and spacious environment. It felt clean, comfortable, and relaxing. I'm honestly amazed that Reno was where I found my new favorite pho spot. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in town!
As someone who's eaten pho across the Bay Area and all through SoCal, if you want the closest next best in Reno, you have to come here. I will always recommend the #11 (Pho Dac Biet): thinly sliced raw beef that finishes cooking in the broth, springy beef meatballs, and rice noodles all in a well flavored bone broth that's subtly sweet, clean, and deeply layered. Herb plate came fresh with crisp bean sprouts, basil, cilantro, jalapeños, and lime. We also got the durian and strawberry boba smoothies, both blended thick and tasted delicious. The durian was rich and funky (in the best way), the strawberry was not overly sweet. Portions are generous and the value is unmatched in all of Reno. Service was fast, friendly, and accurate every time. Beautiful restaurant, it can get crowded but there is ample space throughout the interior so it never feels cramped. This is THE spot in Sparks. Not even a debate.
It remains a staple for best go to Pho in the city. It's a great environment, friendly customer service and consistency every visit. The owner practically knows my wife and I upon arrival. Lol The restaurant in terms of ambience is what you'd expect, moderate to loud, but their service is fast, accurate and remarkably good with great portions. The combination Pho, one of my favorites, has delicious broth, tender protein meats and fresh veggies to add on the side. 999 Pho is always worth it in terms of value. Glad to have some friends along for the visit today.
My husband and I have been to this restaurant twice and both times the food has been tasty. It seemed more authentic than other locations we frequent. The service was okay. We were sat promptly but after being seated and having ordered we didn't really see anyone. The restaurant is also very loud and echo-y. Overall, it's a good place for pho if you're okay with the noise.

The best pho in Reno! Dining room is always packed, mostly Asians but some non-Aisans foodies apparently got wind of this and indulge themselves here! Highly recommended read more
This business moved from Kietzke Ln and replaced what was Rusty Taco. If you've read my other Vietnamese "Phó" reviews, then you'd know that I love Pork Vermicelli with shrimp. I've ordered food from here about 3 or 4 times, all To-Go. Haven't had the pleasure of dining in but that might be in my future. The meat to vegetable to vermicelli ratio was just right and one is enough to fill you up (in my case). The meat looks "redder" in my opinion but tastes good nonetheless. An egg roll is also included with it. When you have a craving for Asian food, 999 Pho is sure to be in the top 5. I'm glad there's more variety of food options in S. Reno so we don't have to go far for good food. read more
We came here for lunch after visiting Tahoe and they were busy and got us right in! The food came out quick and piping hot. The place was clean and minimalistic with such great lighting. The staff was quick and food was amazing! Price ranges from 15-20$ read more
The service was terrible but the food was amazing. We were a party of 2 waiting to be seated for about 10 minutes. We write our name on the list, the waitress comes over and seats 2 groups that were there before us, no problem. Two large groups come in, the waitress then asks them how many and seats both groups before us. Huge issue. To make it worse, the same waitress provided terrible service. When ordering we felt hurried. At no point did she come back to the table to check on us. We didn't even get our check. The food here is amazing but the service was so bad I will never come back. read more
Wanted a cold, desserty-type drink on a hot day and stopped by 999 Pho for the first time since it opened. We came during "off-peak" hours on a weekend and were really surprised by how busy it still was. However, we still got seated quickly, and the service wasn't terribly slow given the amount of foot traffic. The tofu spring rolls were bland and nothing to write home about. The 3-color dessert was good and not overly sweet. The shaved ice on top wasn't evenly crushed, though. The plum soda was interesting with a really pungent sweet/salty/tangy flavor - could be diluted even more with soda water. Even though 999 Pho didn't change the layout at all (and even kept some of the same decor) from the previous Rusty era, it's amazing how different the place looks. They've maximized the seating area and it seems like they have no issues keeping all those tables full. If you're looking for a Pho restaurant with vibe and standout service, you'd be better off down the street at La Mint. But if you prefer the hole-in-the-wall experience where nothing matches and you walk up to a counter to pay afterwards, this is the place for you. read more
Wow, I guess I am a creature of habit?!?! These are the most updated reviews I have written. My goal is always to try as many new and local businesses as possible, but due to my excessive travel schedule, I guess I find myself back in my comfort restaurants?!?! Quality/Quantity - The food is always so good and authentic here! #40 Flame Broil Chicken Vermicelli - Not sure if they give larger portions when eating in...? Today, that was not an option. Either way, my wife could not finish her entree. #47 Combination - Pork Skin, Egg Cake, Fried Shrimp Cake and Pork Chop. Also of decent portion; I did have a little left over as well. But I was starving from today's long drive. As always, the food here is so flavorful and good. Atmosphere - Congrats on your new location. It was crazy busy today, a Saturday, and President's Day weekend, Valentine's Weekend, Ski Week. etc. After 7:30pm they only had to-go orders. We got here at approximately 7pm and so many people were standing, blocking, and waiting. The employees were "flying" everywhere. Could NOT even flag/stop an employee to check-in. We even walked up to the counter. After about 15 minutes, they said to-go only. I get it, you want to go home also. Congrats on your amazing success. So although I was really looking forward to dining in, I will not dock any points for your crazy busy (unorganized) Saturday holiday business and I am actually happy for you. Open 6 days a week from 10am to 7:30pm or 8:30pm. The ining room closes an hour earlier. They are closed on Tuesdays. Plenty of mall parking if you are willing to walk. Parking next to 999 Pho today was crazy full!! Service - See above. Limited service today due to the excessive holiday business. Price - $37. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2016; we are still regular customers. read more

The place was busy especially for a Sunday afternoon which tells me people really like this place. It was my first time here. The restaurant was easy to access and plenty of parking. When I walked in I was greeted right away and sat at a table. It was cold because the vent was right above us. First I tried the spring roll and usually not a fan but they were good. I loved the deep fried egg rolls for appetizers. I order the wonton soup came out hot and the food came out really fast. The bowl was huge and I place an order for shrimp fried rice which was fresh. Our waitress check on us a few time and very helpful. read more

Decided we were in need of pho during a rainy Sunday morning around 11:00am and was surprised at how busy it was. This spot is huge and has lots of seating. Once we were seated, I noticed a line began forming around ~11:30am so we came right before the lunch rush began. Appetizers: - Egg rolls (5/5): cooked perfectly and not too oily. Wish it came with more lettuce. It was delicious and very crunchy! - Pot stickers (5/5): make sure to let it cool down because it's piping hot when they bring it to your table! Very flavorful and juicy in the inside but extra crispy on the outside. Mains: - Pho Tai (5/5): the broth was really good! Reminded me of Bay Area/SJ pho. The bowl size is great! Comes with a good amount of noodles and meat. - Chicken Rice Plate (5/5): the chicken was fried to perfection. Crispy on the outside yet moist on the inside. I do wish they gave some more veggies but that's just my personal preference. Drinks: - Viet Iced Coffee (4/5): the Viet coffee was extra strong which was exactly what I was looking for. They gave me a cup of ice since I ordered it to go. I had asked for no milk since I'm lactose intolerant but upon pouring out my coffee into the cup of ice, I saw the condensed milk in a thick layer at the bottom of the mug. Luckily I was able to pour out the coffee without the condensed milk mixing in. Service was great! Our server checked in a few times and made sure we had our waters refilled. Overall the food and service were top notch. Highly recommend you try out 999 Pho! We will definitely come back when we visit the area again. read more
Best pho I have had in a while! Light, juicy, savory broth, nice cuts of shredded chicken, and the added veggies were definitely worth the extra $2. Spring rolls (not pictured) were pretty good as well, pro tip to add some Thai basil on top. Nicer ambiance at this new location. All the workers were super helpful, hard working, and friendly. Will definitely be going back! read more
This review is about their food pick up only: First, I tried to call in to order food to go, but the phone was never picked up, and it went straight to voicemail (not sure if something was wrong with the phone that day). Second, after I got there and just ordered in person, while I was waiting (and I already paid) they told me they sold out of one of the dishes i ordered, so they couldn't make it for me. I had to pick something else from the menu. Once I finally got my food, it was fine, it was just a bit of an annoying experience from the beginning. It's a bit disappointing because I love their food, I just think staff isn't as pleasant as they used to be. read more

Love the new location! Great atmosphere (although I didn't understand the Howdy on the front door). But very open and bright location with lots and lots of windows. Great place for a casual meal with good prices and great food. Table service is quick and friendly. Very helpful team that will help you navigate the extensive menu and point you to the fan favs. Pho soup dishes hit the spot on a cool day. The portions for pho and banh mi are very generous so you won't leave hungry. read more
This is our 2nd time eating here and the food's always delicious! Pho taste really good , not salty, not oily and doesn't have after taste and they put good amount of noodles and meat. The chow fun also taste great and I like the way the chow fun noodles was not overcooked, they also put good amount of meat and vegetables on them. And the Thai tea is a must have! Service is always great, always friendly staff. Inside it's always been simple and clean. read more
Hands down one of my favorite places for pho, but the banh mi could use some work. Friendly staff and clean restaurant. Come here for the pho! Ambiance: Great for parties or gatherings of all sizes. The new location is bright, open, and clean. Warning this place gets busy! Service: Friendly and attentive, any questions are answered. Food: The pho is exceptional the banh mi however was a bit of a let down. The bread is fresh and the vegetables provide a solid crunch but there are some key ingredients missing. This could be an off day? read more

This is our favorite place for Pho in Reno, so we were excited to check out their new location. When we arrived, there was no wait, and we were seated right away. However, they sat our group of four at a table that really seemed better suited for two. The restaurant filled up quickly, and the tables were so close together that things were falling off our table, and we were practically elbow-to-elbow with the table next to us. That said, the pho was as good as ever--huge portions, delicious flavors, and still very affordable. The service was slower than usual since they were so busy, and the payment process was confusing because we didn't get a bill at the table and had to wait in line at the counter to pay. Overall, they still have the best pho in town, but it feels like they may have bitten off more than they can chew with the staffing and table layout at this new spot. read more

So yummy! We started with the pork and shrimp spring rolls as an appetizer. I've never had this kind of spring roll, but the flavors were great! A very different texture than what I expected, but over all pretty good! The pho was to DIE for! The portions are massive and we have lunch for tomorrow with our left overs. The broth was rich and flavorful on its own, but the toppings really brought it together. The servers really only come by once to bring you a drink, but they were quick and friendly regardless! Our new favorite lunch spot for sure!! read more

I love the food here. When I'm in Reno I always stop for a fix. The chicken salad is a real favorite that I crave, so last week I stopped in for to get an order to go. I got a box with the salad in it but no shredded chicken. Three pieces of bone in, gross looking chicken, was just put on top. I ate the salad but had to take the nasty chicken out and cover it with a towel. I hope this is not the beginning of an erosion of the food here. It's been awesome for very long. read more

Everything was FANTASTIC! We tried #13 and #14 - both Beef Pho - both delish! Added so much hot sauce, we walked out sweating. LOL! We also tried the firecracker shrimp and the combo fried rice. Shrimp - excellent, the sauce was super garlicky. The fried rice was good - not amazing. But we took it home and I'll doctor it up and make it awesome for dinner. The owner - Ron - came by to introduce himself. Super friendly and helpful. Still looks like the Rusty Taco on the inside, but the food is much better. read more

Wow!!!!! Thank you to Owner Julie with 999 Pho for an outstanding 5 Star Pho dining experience. I ordered a Pho with Beef Broth and brisket. It came with Rice noodles. I added Veggies and extra sprouts. Emily had Pho with Beef Balls and Veggies. The restaurant was a large open space, clean and filled with new and happy customers. The Pho was incredible, healthy and filling. The beef broth and brisket 5 Star. It was so much, I took home my extra soup. Yea!!! This restaurant is a hit with South Reno. 999 Pho is in the Winco shopping center off South Virginia and this shopping center needed another good restaurant....and we are so glad you are here 999 Pho! Welcome to Julie and the 999 Pho Family! As my daughter Emily said..."Pho...nominal. We will be back very soon. Julie A read more

Tried their golden pork buns. Dense, but good! I could do without the mayo drizzle on top but that's a personal preference. Banh mi is a solid choice, decent price. Would love if they had pate on their banh mi (IYKYK). Tried the grilled pork paste spring roll instead of the shrimp and pork one. Slight crunch for texture in this one because they fried the wrapper you would use for egg rolls. Their vermicelli bowls are HUGE!! We got the lemongrass pork and had to bring 3/4 of it home. Service was quick and efficient. They check in on you periodically and whenever you're ready, you go up to the counter and pay!! Love the relocation. Space is bigger and more open, lots of natural lighting. read more
11/1/2024- Location location!.. Less than four miles from the house- Surprised to see all the cars in the parking lot..they are going to need a bigger lot.. Walked inside- and it's busy! Great to see.. Loved the new pork won tons ... Rare beef was perfect/best broth in town.. Thank you for selecting South Reno.. read more
This place has been talked a lot in the Pho community in Reno. Yes, the best! I could end my review there, but that would be un-Yelp-like. My usual dish in a Vietnamese restaurant is Bun (vermicelli noodles with stuff on top). I was a little surprised when I saw the thinly slice pork on the Bun as it had a different appearance, but it tasted great! When you are done eating and ready to go, just walk up to the register and tell the cashier your table number. Paperless system. But if you are with friends, the receipt is not fully itemized, so you might need a pic of the menu to compare prices. The coup de grace is the smoothie w/wo boba. I got the avocado one with boba, and it was a meal by itself. Another friend had the durian smoothie without boba, and she liked it. It is worth just stopping at the restaurant for the boba drink if you are short on time. read more

We went to the new location for lunch for the first time on a Saturday, and the restaurant was packed. The new location, in South Reno, is open concept, with tall ceilings and ample seating. I would say it's double the size of the old location on Kietzke. As usual, their food was delicious and did not disappoint. The pho broth is probably the best in town, and the serving sizes are large and noodle-filled. We also got the potstickers and firecracker shrimp, which were both crispy and delicious. An area for improvement is the service. For example, we were waiting to be seated, and the hostess/waitress did not come over for a long time until we had to wave her down (as prompted by another guest behind us who told us this was necessary or else we would never be seated). They do not have a dedicated hostess, as the hostess does both server and hostess duties. The food came out timely; however, once we got our food, the server never checked on us for refills of drinks. Again, we had to wave her down for refills and flag down another staff member to get leftover containers. Overall, it appears they need to increase their staffing, as the customer/staff ratio was poor. The staff seemed to be running ragged. I would recommend this place for the food, however, just be aware of the service. read more
Our favorite lunch spot whenever when we're in town! Who doesn't want to warm up to a hot bowl of soup after being in the snow all day? Loving their new location, which is more spacious, and we didn't have to wait for our table this time. Service is efficient and attentive. My favorites are the combination pho and bun bo hue! Just as good as the pho I'm used to having in the Bay Area! read more
