Time for an updated review, as I've since started eating meat again!…read more My sister and I popped into Pho 95 to satiate a pho craving on a crisp mid-December day, and it did not disappoint! There was just one waitstaff member that was taking care of all the folks that were dining (there were about 6-7 parties, including us) so it took a few minutes to put our order in, since he was busy taking other orders and bring out entrees to other diners. With that being said, if you're looking for a "supremely quick service" kind of spot, this might not be your go-to. After those few minutes had past, we'd put in our order for the crispy egg rolls, spring rolls, the grilled pork banh mi, and two orders of pho: the Pho 95 Special for me and the Steak & Fatty Brisket pho for my sister. We waited a handful of minutes for our apps and our pho (this was quick!) then we got to digging in. The egg rolls had a perfect CRISP exterior and a flavorful interior. The spring rolls were delightful and fresh (however, I prefer them without the thin sheets of pork), and our pho - after dressing it up with the accoutrements) was hot and delicious! Honestly, the Pho 95 Special wasn't for me, as I realized that I'm not attuned to or prefer the tendon or tripe. The rest of the meats were delicious though and I'll definitely order the Steak & Fatty Brisket Pho - since my sister loved it! I also didn't favor the pork banh mi. I just couldn't get behind the smokey flavor and didn't enjoy the seasoning. Perhaps pork just isn't my kind of protein. I will add, my sister did enjoy the banh mi, so it's certainly subjective! I'd be curious to try their other banh mi's in the future. Overall, Pho 95 was a great spot to visit and I recommend it to all locals in the area looking to satisfy their pho cravings!

As I sat down (I was invited to choose my own seat) I surveyed the dining room. Nothing in decor stands out, but I was impressed with how spotlessly clean everything is. I always think that the front of the house reflects in the back, so I would assume they take equal care of sanitation in the kitchen. I orderrrd #16, the special pho dish. I was surprised the bowl had almost more sliced beef and other protein as noodles. After 1 o'clock other customer, 4 tables came in. They were all greeted and served as promptly as I was. My food was delicious and more than I could finish. I think Pho 95 is back on my favorites list.

I always order the pork, but I'm sure can't go wrong with any of them. We always order a pork vermicelli salad with egg rolls to share with the table. They're quite large and very easily shareable. Just ask for additional bowls. Love the spring rolls with the peanut sauce. They say an order comes with 2, but they're large and each cut in half, so you get 4 on a serving plate. My kid loves the smoothies. She thinks they're a must if we're there. I mean who am I to argue? If you want good Vietnamese, you'll love this place

(I usually can't eat all my food and the noodles just soak up the broth if you bring it home for leftovers) The only bad thing is that with the limited seating if it's cold out you get blasted with cold air every time the door opens. And it opened a lot because they have a great busy business. We will be back !!

Plenty of noodles and a good amount of flank beef, with enough pieces to balance perfectly with the noodles. The broth was flavorful and satisfying, though I felt it could have been a bit richer. For $14 a portion was generous overall. The restaurant itself is spacious and each table is set with hand sanitizer, hot sauce, hot chili sauce, salt, and pepper and basic cutlery (spoon and fork). When the phone was served, they also brought out chopsticks, a soup spoon, and all the fresh toppings. Since I was the last guest of the night, I really appreciated how attentive the server was checking in often to make sure I had everything I needed. Even though they were close to closing, I never felt rushed overall. It was a great experience and I'm already looking forward to coming back

We've brought traveling friends and family here, and it never misses. The portion sizes are fantastic--we highly recommend the Shrimp Spring Rolls and the Viet Taste Starter Platter, which is an amazing deal. For our main courses, we usually go with the V032 Pho Dac Biet (the broth is so comforting!) and the V070 Double 'B' Banh Mi. Occasionally, I'll opt for the V062 Marinated Pork Chop with Honey Sausage and Fried Eggs, which is always delicious. Located in Pacifica Square near the Fox Valley Mall, it's such a fun, cozy atmosphere. They usually play acoustic guitar covers of pop songs in the background, which adds a really nice touch to the experience. If you're looking for high-quality, consistent Vietnamese food, this is the place!

I got the V045 which is pho with Well Done Beef Brisket, Eye Round Steak Slices, Tripe, which I usually get when I go to a Pho Noodle Station location. The pho came out and the first few bites satisfied the pho craving. But the cuts of meat weren't the best and the broth didn't taste fresh. It was hard to finish the bowl, although the portion size was generous. It probably didn't help that we were seated next to the kitchen, and the doors would swing open every few minutes and smells of dish soap would waft through. I usually love Pho Noodle Station, especially the location in Champaign, but this was a disappointing experience. Not sure if the stores are related, but I wish the quality was as good as that location.

As a person who was spoiled by Vietnamese cuisine in Little Saigon and actual Saigon, I've had a…read morehard time in Rockford. I saw pho 815 and was immediately hopeful. Had to give it a shot. Staff and service are great. Restaurant is nice, loved the Vietnamese easy listening music. Made me feel at home. That's where the positives ended. I have never seen Vietnamese food cost so much and I've eaten in bougie Vietnamese Fusion places in Irvine and DTLA. This in itself isn't enough to take away stars, but the rest is. I ignored the prices and ordered a ton of food for takeout. Spring rolls, shrimp rolls, all 3 sandwiches on the menu, and the Bun Tom Thit Nuong. When I got there, I found out that they were running out of bread...actually, running out of everything. More on that later. To be fair, they did try to call me back but I'm the only person in Rockford that doesn't use their phone while driving and I intend to keep it that way. It's unacceptable that the person who took my order didn't know what they had. It's even more unacceptable that they ran out of bread. It's like running out of rice. I feel like par levels are crucial to a restaurant. Anyway, fine. Instead of three sandwiches, I'll have just the Banh Mi Dac Biet and replace the other two with specialty Pho. Just a pro tip, everything I ordered are good indicators as to whether a Vietnamese restaurant is legit or not. They are staples. Now, on to the actual food. The Spring Rolls and shrimp rolls are perfectly fine. Not the freshest, but perfectly acceptable. Approved. The sandwich was a travesty. First of all, never slice the bread all the way through. We don't do that. It keeps the sandwich from falling apart (i mean there's shredded pickled veggies). Too much soy sauce, not enough butter and I could barely see the cold cuts. paying $8 for this felt like robbery. Eating this sandwich made me want to fly to Westminster, CA for Banh Mi Cali. The Bun Tom Thit Nuong had me conflicted. The grilled shrimp and the egg rolls were delicious. The grilled meat tasted more Korean than Vietnamese. I love Korean food, but not when I want Vietnamese. The veggies were not fresh and the noodles actually didn't make it through the night in the fridge. The dish tasted spoiled the next day, which again raises concern about freshness. Finally, on to the Pho. This dish is the namesake of the restaurant and is the poster child of Vietnamese cuisine. It was a sin against my ancestors. It was super fragrant and aromatic. Had me drooling on the way home. However, the broth was bland and tasteless. I added the hoisin sauce and Sriracha and that's all I could taste. I have suspicions of how the broth was prepared but I won't speculate without proof. I just wish I had a bag of MSG to empty into the broth. The tripe in Vietnamese food is usually delicately sliced and cooked longer until soft. This might be a matter of preference though. I did find the meatballs delicious. The beef good as well. Overall, I cannot justify coming back. There are non-vietnamese asian restaurants that serve better Vietnamese food. That makes me sad.
