First time visiting 999 Pho before heading up to Lake Tahoe. The food was delicious, everyone was friendly and the service was great too!

If there's a negative star, I'd gladly give this piece of crap restaurant. Party of 8 came here and they sat us on a 6 seater table which we had to eat elbows rubbing elbows with one another. I asked the waiter beforehand if we can put another table and he said no, meanwhile, another party came and he arranged the table accordingly. So that was forgiven. We ordered our meal, took longer for the guy to give us the menu too! I asked if he can he give us fork, he said whatever you need is on the table, so I asked for napkins. He gave a party of 8, 2 napkins. Hah! What an idiot. Food is crap, the fried rice is heated, like the rice has been set out for too long--tastes like rubber! The spring rolls have too much vermicelli, the peanut sauce is too watery and bland. Would never come back here again. When I asked for napkins again, he was like "you have to wait!" I was shocked. When I was paying, I told him that the service is really bad, he blurted out "DON'T ever come back! Get out!" Oh geeez, I was just being honest! I asked if he was the owner and he said "owner not here" while raising his voice. Ahhh eat somewhere else peeps, give yourself a treat and good service where your money is worth it. read more

We arrived on a Saturday around 1pm. It wasn't too busy and we were sat immediately. We can't say it's the best pho place in Reno because this is the only one we've been to but it was really good! We ordered the Beef Ball Pho and Pho Tai. The broth was the highlight and the reason why we will visit this spot every time we come to Reno. We also ordered the Egg Roll Bun and it was good but the egg roll was heavy on the shrimp taste for our liking. We ordered the Spring Rolls. While the portion size is great for sharing, we found the rolls to be too dry. Overall, we would definitely recommend coming here for pho! It was delicious and you really can't beat the price and portion size. read more

I am saddened that it took me four years to find this place. No excuse. I had a mammoth meal of Bahn Mi, spring rolls, and crepe to make up for it. Do yourself a solid. Order the crepe. Break in pieces. Put in lettuce. Add fresh herbs. Dunk is delightful vinegar sauce they bring to table. Repeat. The bahn mi was good but nothing like you can get in Westminster CA. Reno is crying out for some knock your socks off house baked bread bahn mi. Excited to go back and have some pho. I am sure this is going in my regular rotation of Babb and Taiwan 101. read more

I am on my way to Costco but too hungry to think about shopping so I'm stopping here to take care of that problem first. This is my second time here and I did not review the first visit but I do remember enjoying the food. I ordered the fried rice combination and it came out of the kitchen really really fast and really hot. It is quite salty and seems to lack of flavor so I'm adding some Sriracha. Mmmm, good. I am revising my review downward, way down. As I was leaving my table I happened to notice behind me in the corner by the window the floor was incredibly dirty with a pile of food and dirt. Then I looked around at the rest of the floor. It looked like it might have been swept but has it EVER been mopped? Certainly doesn't look like it. So, I collected my leftover fried rice, paid the bill and left. Went on to Costco to do my shopping and since I only bought three items that did not take me long. It is still winter and it was very cold in the car so I know the food would be OK. However, when I opened the door there was a really terrible smell coming from that food. It smelled as if something had died and been left in the car for a week. So, on the basis of the filthy floor and the smell of the leftover food I have to downgrade my stars from 4 to 1. And I will also state that I will never darken their door again. read more

Very rude service. I would say it is super super terrible. We have arrived and want to go with a table inner. The waitress seems did not care it at all - they clean all other tables first and then clean the table we want at last. During the time they keep us waiting outside! This is a place I would say NEVER EVER come! read more

So we have been looking for our pho place since relocating here and I think we found it. Definitely a no frills location but when you have a steaming bowl full of noodles and meat steaming your face what more do you need? The broth here is on point! It is flavorful and every sip is delicious. I also had a mango boba which was creamy and amazing. Definitely recommend this place to cure what ails you! read more

Such delicious food! We have close friends from Vietnam who rave about this restaurant and we see why! All the food we had was the best Vietnamese dishes that we've had in Reno. Our favorites: Vietnamese crepés (huge and crunchy!), sour soup (lots of noodles and choice of protein), pho (of course!), pork chop. Must try! read more

Best I've had. I stopped in after flying in to town, and left sorely disappointed...that this place is not in my home town! I had the vegetarian pho, which included bok choy. FANTASTIC. read more

Pho soup was salty! pork chop sooo thin and wayyy over cooked. My 9 yrs old son usually clears his plate, he barely ate half the pork chop. Thai tea is whatttt!!! Idk what it was lol Service was slow. Yea I wouldn't go back. read more

This was my first time here and We loved it. We came late on a Sunday after snowboarding not expecting much. I asked about the menu and they were very helpful and We ordered the chicken pho. It came fast, hot, and in large portions. It was very good. Richard served us and was very kind and happy. The place is well lit, clean, and comfy. I will definitely be back! Thank you! read more

999 Phở - Vietnamese Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Place is honestly the best pho place in town I tried 5 other top recommended spots and this is the only one that satisfied my craving. The broth is EVERYTHING for pho and they mail it every time. My only major complaint is they almost never answer their phone! Or their phone line is disconnected some how. I always want to order pick up after my work before they close but 4/10 times I don't go because they don't answer the phone! read more

Very nice ladies and very good food! The pho broth was perfect. This will be our go to spot for pho. The egg rolls were awesome too. read more

Their pho tasted strange to me. I think there was too much of five-spice flavors and it overwhelmed the pho stock. Was very disappointed in their "avocado" smoothie because they didn't use fresh avocados, but rather a powdered flavoring. On a good note, their Bun Bo Hue is very authentic and delicious! read more

Every single dish ordered was subpar. Pho noodles was low quality and mushy; filet cubed beef barely had any meat, mainly onions and bell peppers; the sandwiches had almost no meat; not enough food for even a supermodel. But worse than the food was the terrible service. Never eating here again. read more

If you are vegetarian tell them. My waiters eyes lit up with all the possibilities he could make for me. I got a banh mi with avocado. Really good bread. Nice spice. Well done. Recommended. read more

The place is clean, service is fast, the food came out in 10 minutes and it was all under 15 bucks. That's a good deal if you want to get stuffed. Their menu has a lot of variety. 4 bucks for an order of shrimp / pork spring rolls and 8.50 for a #11 Pho (beef balls, brisket, tendon , tripe , etc) The spring rolls tasted like any other place in town. Maybe they can add some crushed peanuts to the sauce. The pho came out and it was nice and hot. The broth was a normal pho broth (light in color and had just the right amount of spices and saltiness) but it also lacked depth. The sheer amount of the green onion bottoms was a turn off. The noodles were somewhat firm and the hot broth will not soften them. The noodles tasted off due to the consistency. This is one of about 4 Vietnamese restaurants within a 1.5 miles radius. Choose one and you won't be disappointed. read more

Probably the best vietnamese food in Reno. Always a great experience when dining here, takeout is great too!

Visiting Reno and decided to tey this place with my family. We ordered the Bo Luc Lac (cubed filet mignon beef), and Pho Dac Biet, and Combination Fried Rice. The Bo Luc Lac dish was tasty fried with bell peppers and onions. came with rice. The only suggestion for improvement would be to cute the cube a bit bigger. The cubes were a bit wee sized. Thr Pho Dac Biet was tasty and fills the spot, broth was not as sweet as some Pho places I have had, and sliced beef was decent, but should at least give you one full beef balls. It seems the beef balls were cut into quarters and you only get 2 bits. Th fried rice was really good flavors that was not too salty or bland, loaded with meat and shrimp. I have to honestly say, this was a worthy dish. Service was good, no colmplaints. They were attentive and asked if we wanted more water. Overall, prices were reasonable and definitely return next time I am in town. read more

I'm pretty sure the higher the number on a pho restaurant, the better it is because I haven't found a place that beats this one, at least not in Reno! 999 Pho is a hidden diamond in the rough based on food alone. Everything else: the service, the atmosphere, the location, etc. is just a bonus. The food here is fresh, the soup broth is deep and flavorful, and the noodles are light and have the perfect texture. I've gotten a few items from here and my favorites have to be the #34: Bun Bo Hue Spicy Soup and the #44: the Flame Broil Beef with Lemon Grass! The Spicy soup isn't actually that spicy. The best way for me to describe it is that it warms the throat and the soul. That's the level of spiciness I get when I eat this soup. And this is no ordinary soup! I don't think you can get this at many other Vietnamese places in town. Even though it's a bit spicy, the spiciness does not overpower the intense flavor inside the broth. The noodles are a bit thicker than the typical rice noodles in pho, but I like it! It adds more texture to the dish and some of the broth gets infused in the noodles. Finally, this dish has all of the meat! It has ox tail, beef balls, brisket, beef, pig's blood and flank. I'm pretty sure those are all of the meats. I love this dish because there are so many different meats and textures! The Flame Broil Beef is a favorite of mine when I don't feel like soup. This dish is a cold noodle Vermicelli Dish. It has rice noodles, lettuce, sprouts, carrots, cucumber, peanut, and onion. But what I really like about this dish is the beef and the sauce that you pour over it. The beef is perfectly flame-broiled; there are little charred, crunchy bits on the edges, but the beef is still really tender and juicy. I like how the beef sits on top of the noodles, so the fat and juices from the meat seep into the noodles. And the same thing goes for the sauce. The sauce is mainly made out of vinegar, fish sauce, and sugar. I like it a lot because it's acidic, salty, and sweet at the same time. And it really cuts the fat of the beef. The service is above average when you compare it to the other pho restaurants in Reno. Even when it's busy, waiter/servers actually go around the restaurant and check up on you and fill up your water, unlike some other places *cough* Golden Flower *cough*. Although, the service still does not live up to other "typical" restaurants. Another thing I like about the service is that it's fast! A group of 6 of us ordered food, and within 10 minutes we got all of our food! The location isn't ideal, since it's fairly hidden, but once you find it, there is ample parking spots. It's located in a small, old strip mall, but it's quaint and clean. The tables and floors are clean, there are more than enough tables for several large parties, and the atmosphere is lively. Overall, my experiences at 999 Pho have been exceptional. I have no complaints whatsoever, and I look forward to coming back and trying more of their menu! I rate this place 999/1000!! read more

This is our first time in this pho place but I knew the owner/chef along time ago from a previous pho restaurant, it was a perfect timing that I saw Tam-Tam(chef/owner) at Costco when she mentioned she has a new restaurant close by, my husband and I were looking for a place to have late lunch/early dinner, we had their banh xeo and combination pho and of course it's so tasty. As a new item they now offered smoothie with boba - I love this thing! Can't wait to visit next time. read more

I would recommend getting the pho. The broth really made it. Great service also! I cannot remember the last time I've been at a restaurant where the whole staff works together with an urgency. Next time I come back to Reno, I'd definitely come back! read more

From the appetizers to the banh mi, pho, and vermicelli, everything is first-class. Ask for the taro smoothie. read more

I'm not sure if it's because they were understaffed or if they were busy (didn't seem so), but it took them more than 20 minutes to take our order. The water didn't come out until we asked 3 times but they only brought out 3 cups (there were 5 of us). We finally got all water AFTER we got our food, which took another 30+ minutes after we ordered. My friend and I each ordered a smoothie; they didn't come out until we were almost done with our meal. At first, I didn't mind the long wait because I was with my friends and we were talking a lot. But after nearly an hour of waiting for our food to come out, and seeing that other people who came in after us were starting to get their food and they haven't even brought ours out, I got pretty irritated. Despite my irritation, I must compliment the food. It was delicious. I'm not sure I can say it's worth the wait, but it did make me less irritated because the food was so good. I ordered #22 (seafood combination) on the menu and a mango smoothie. The pho was so flavorful and refreshing. The portions were good for the price. There were lots of toppings and veges but it wasn't overpowering the noodles. I really like my mango smoothie (even though it took forever to get). It tasted like it was made with fresh mangos. It had a natural sweetness to it, not like artificial sweetener, which I enjoyed very much. read more

999 Phở - #22 - Vietnamese Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Pho 999 is probably the closest thing, to California pho. The broth is really good without any condiments added to it. I will give this place a 5star rating. read more

My favorite pho in Reno!!!! Their pho is incredible and so are their spring rolls (shrimp). Their pho is full of flavor with delicious meat. I definitely recommend this place if you enjoy good pho. read more

999 Pho genuinely has some of the best Vietnamese food that I've had! I'm from Las Vegas so it's always exciting when I find a good spot in Reno for Asian food, as there isn't as many options up here. The staff is always super friendly and service is quick. On top of it all, the food never disappoints! My favorite dishes are the bun bo hue and the banh xeo. This is the place to go! read more

Wow! I love ALL Asian food but particularly Korean and Vietnamese cuisine. While in Reno for business I was discussing dinner options with a co-worker and he suggested Pho.... a quick trip to Yelp and we found 999 Pho. Great reviews and inviting photos made our choice easy. Arrived and found a bright clean environment filled with luscious smells. Our waiter was quickly on hand to take drink orders and answer any questions we had. Started with obligatory spring rolls which arrived quickly. Excellent and filled with tender shrimp. The Rare Beef Pho followed at a proper interval. (Very nice when you have time to enjoy appetizer before main course arrives!) Huge fragrant bowl of rich broth with generous amount of tender beef. After adding the accompanying basil, bean sprouts and other delicate ingredients I dug in. Absolute heaven in a bowl.. Our food was superb, as was the attentive service. I will definitely be back when in Reno to explore some of the other tantalizing menu choices! read more

Pho, and bbh was delicious, service was decent. My kids were a little disappointed because they wanted banh xeo and wontons but it wasn't available tonight. Overall I would recommend on a cold night. read more

We all agree there are many PHO places in Reno and Sparks but PHO 999 is the best in our book. The owner , Teim, she used to be a waitress when she found out she could do a better job of cooking, quality and service then where she worked. So, she did just that. Everything is in house and super fresh. They even make all the bubble drinks to order and tai iced tea ! Even though we know it is closed only on Tuesday, we still find ourselves craving her cooking only to be disappointed when we get there and remember it is a Tuesday and closed. I really think you will be pleasantly satisfied to eat there after your meal. So wonderfully priced too ! Way cheaper then most others. Give her a try and tell her I sent you ! YUMMMM ! read more

Very horrible service. The woman at the front which we ordered our food from as well was extremely rude. I came in to have a dinner with my family and she just did no like us. She wouldn't acknowledge me when i spoke to her and she didn't want to look at me in the face while interacting with her at all. While ordering she ignored my sisters order to talk to another customer while another worker was already helping them. Before we payed there was another customer in before us who she was extremely friendly to, but when it was our turn to pay her whole character changed. While paying she again started talking to someone so she could interact with us as little as possible. Everyone else was really nice and the food was delicious, but i would not come back here again because of her service. It was very unpleasant and uncomfortable for me and my family both. read more

Would give zero stars if I could waitress does not bring your food on a tray instead holds your bowl with fingers touching top of your bowl smh . Seriously? It's common sanitary sense ain't tryna eat your finger germs read more

Great place! Best vermicelli salad in Reno! Usually the sauce is bland and tasteless but their sauce is so flavorful! Highly recommend!

Rude service. Was almost impossible getting their attention. They flat out ignored me. This place didn't even have napkins on the tables. They overcharged us $7. Also, they expect you to pay up front but they don't tell you that or even have signs that let you know. read more

We went there yesterday and the line was so line, there's like 8-10 party on the waiting list, so we left. We went back again today, the line was also long but our stomachs can bare the waiting time of 20-30mins with about 4-5 parties ahead of us. We ordered 3x beef noodles soups, bun bo hue and egg rolls. Everything taste the ways they should be. Would give 5 stars if the egg rolls was too burnt. Would recommend to anyone and will definitely come back again to try other dishes. read more

First time coming here and I wasn't too impressed. Tables are sticky. Waiters don't tend to you until you call them. I ordered bun bo hue which took me like 5 minutes to order because they couldn't understand Vietnamese even though they speak Vietnamese..... i had to repeat my order 8 times. I was just about to walk out, that's how bad the waiter was. I asked for no pork substitute for beef tripe and no veggies on top. He said it doesn't come with veggies only onions on top...... onions are not veggies apparently. Once I got my bun bo hue, I only got pork no beef! How can my order be messed up after repeating it so many times. However, the noodles had a nice chewy texture to it. Broth was a bit sweet. Sad to say, I probably wouldn't come back. read more

This place is very unprofessional, unsanitary, disrespectful, and no common courtesy to where the phrase "customer are always right". Which in this case the customer was correct as in my mother order the number 60 combination chow Cho ho fun was messed up and they gave her a different order multiple times and we repeatedly stated that this was the wrong order plenty of times. They also forgot our drinks too and we had to repeat multiple times as well. OH I ALMOST FULLY FORGOT TO MENTION DO NOT ORDER ANY RICE PLATES AT ALL!!! YOU WILL GET CATFISH VERY VERY BAD!! In the picture on the wall it shows a very big pork and in reality I got a damn 3inch pork chop. If you had to get anything I will recommend you to just get noodles or nothing at all. read more
