We love buckeye pho and always have. I think ownership has changed since we first moved to Columbus 11-12 years ago BUT the food has not. The menu is overwhelmingly huge, but awesome. Took a Vietnamese woman on a date and she was thrilled with the options and she also loved her pho. Spring rolls hit hard, pho broth is spectacular, service is top notch. Small dining room hut it adds to the character of this place. I wouldn't change a thing besides maybe the pricing could be 20% less. Price adds up quick or else I'd probably eat here a lot more often. Love this place read more

Buckeye Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

One of my favorite noodle spots in Columbus! Perfect for a quick lunch. My go-to is rare steak pho and a grilled pork banh mi. That was my order today and it fully delivered, as always! I love the pho broth - it's really flavorful. The large size always has a ton of noodles and the steak was generous and tender. Banh mi is my favorite sandwich of all time. I love this version and the bread is perfection. I could eat 50 of them! Service was as friendly as ever. Good came out quickly and was fresh and hot. We love sitting at the bar top, too. 10/10, no notes. One day maybe I will try something else off the menu! read more

Buckeye Pho - Chicken Bread only Subs - Vietnamese Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

By the reviews I assume this was a pretty good place. It was decent. Would I go again, sure if nothing else was open. Some reviews stated it wasn't flavored enough. I like to make my phó my own. They provide your basic bean sprout, lime wedges, siriracha, hoisin sauce and basil. That phó broth was so salty. It was difficult to eat. The meat portions were great and fresh. I also got an order of pork spring rolls. The service was quick and handled well. Inside had plenty of seating. Other people seemed to enjoy their banh mi. I go to Vietnamese restaurants for their phó. But this is a pass for me. read more

Buckeye Pho - Signature Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

This place is an institution. It's been around forever and serves pretty consistent quality food. The service is...efficient. They're not there to kowtow to your needs and sensiblities, but are polite enough and efficient. They're usually very accurate with your order and quick to bring out your food. Often when they get busy, they're a bit brusque though. The food this time (weekday afternoon) was a bit salty and lacked the meat quantity I remember, but the quality of the food was still fresh and hit the spot for our pho cravings. It's still a solid choice for those cold winter nights or a casual summer lunch. read more

Got the vegetarian pho and rare beef pho. It was very delicious and it came out very quick. Served was very nice and helpful.

The food was amazing! Best pho ga I have had in years. The staff was friendly and efficient, got the verbal order right and it was hit and fresh on time. Perfect experience. I liked the veggie summer rolls but thought the tofu could use a little more flavor. I will be back and bringing friends!!! read more

I went for lunch with my two friends to Buckeye Pho. I really wasn't that hungry, but they were. I got two spring rolls with pork and shrimp. We also got fried egg rolls to share. Buckeye Pho is a small Vietnamese restaurant. The waiter was very fast and efficient at serving the whole dining room. Unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed in my spring rolls. The rice paper was very stretchy like rubber. I understand it should be stretchy to hold everything, but it was difficult to bite into. Also the peanut sauce was very, very watered down, I couldn't taste any of the peanut. These are typically my favorite thing to get at a Vietnamese restaurant, but these were unfortunately a let down. The fried spring rolls were better because the duck sauce was more flavorful, the egg rolls them selves were very bland. I wouldn't recommend getting egg rolls from Buckeye Pho. read more

Had to stop in to Buckeye Pho for lunch. Exceptional food. Went with a nice hot bowl of won ton mein (with egg noodles) and a pair of shrimp and pork fresh rolls. Love the dipping sauce for the rolls. The won tons are full of flavor and they don't cheat on the filling. Fresh veggies, char siu pork, plenty of won tons and a tasty broth. The fresh rolls are wonderful and they can be a meal in itself. Service is always great and I love coming back for sit-down or take out. read more

absolute best pho in columbus and a huge menu too if you want something else. staff is also always on it with service

Not bad, got the cold cut banh mi and the portion size was a bit disappointing. It was pretty solid otherwise though. Vietnamese coffee portion also seemed small at first but turned out to be super concentrated so I was able to dilute it multiple times and ended up with an enjoyable amount. read more

Everyone talks about Buckeye Pho as some of the best in town. I came with my sister on a Friday evening close to 7 and it wasn't busy until closer to 7:30/8! They food comes out fast and they try to get you in and out. There are a good number of tables but once it's full, ya gotta wait for a table. My sister had been here pre-COVID and told me she got to sit at the bar. It looks like the bar doesn't do seating anymore. We got the minced pork spring rolls. They came pretty fresh and hot! Delicious. I got a large rare steak pho with fried dough on the side. Yum! The broth is the star of the show. Really hot as well! Everything must've been on the stove already. My sister tried the grilled pork banh mi and that it was alright. I will add that the portion sizes are generous. The large size for pho lasted me 3 meals! Lots of noodles! And the prices are good too. I'm used to paying a lot more for pho. Staff was really nice! They try to be quick. They also package up your leftovers for you which was nice. As a note, they don't take American Express! I've had that same issue at another Vietnamese restaurant. Thankfully, I had another credit card with me. Parking isn't too bad until it gets full. The hot pot place is next door. But there's tons of parking nearby even if you don't park right in front of it. Overall, I'd come back and order for lunch! read more

I had only have pho a few times before moving to Ohio and was introduced to it by my Indian friends who had Asian friends from New York...so that part. But coming here, my friend likes pho and I like dim sum so we switch with trying new spots every once and awhile. This is a well known OSU student spot and I see why. Besides being ultra friendly, the prices are reasonable and we were able to get Salt & Pepper calamari, Tofu Sub Veggie Pho, and Vermice with Tofu for me all under $50 dollars! The fact that we only eat seafood mainly made me cautious with trying new spots, but they were accommodating with the menu items. The ambiance reads like an in and out spot with typical student fare so nothing special but it is doable. Will return again when in a pinch for the pho jones. read more

Buckeye Pho - All the food! Calamari, Vermice with Tofu, and Veggie Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Great place for Pho! We've been coming here for years and are never disappointed. Hot soup and fresh herbs on a chilly day hot the spot

Food came quickly and portion sizes were generous, especially the amount of meat that came with the pho and the cold cut pork slice sandwich. The bread in the sandwich was also so delightfully crispy--definitely will come back for the sandwich! The flavor of the broth was light and decent, probably would rate it 9/10. I also enjoyed the rice noodle bowl. Good flavor and good proportion of veggies and meat to noodles. Lettuce wraps were yummy as well. Overall, enjoyed everything I had here and would come back! read more

Live in Blacklick and ran errands all morning with my last appt Bethel Rd., so I thought I'd stop in for a bowl of hot-n-steamy pho. I ordered the shrimp pho...it was a 3 on a a scale of 10. In all fairness I have only have beef and chicken pho but I'm sure the broth at best should have had more depth of flavor. I added all of the veggies and most of the condiments on my table and still mid. It takes a lot for me to give a mediocre review. Maybe spend more time developing your broth would be my only suggestion. read more

Great, friendly and fast service! Foods came out quickly even on a busy night and tasted good and authentic.

The Grilled Pork and spring roll vermicelli was quite refreshing lots of veggies and really enjoyable,Cold cut pork and Grilled Beef Banh Mí were awesome. We finished our meal with Crème Brûlée.

I'd eaten in this restaurant several other times and had a better experience than this was with carry-out. My husband ordered the Shrimp and Pork Summer Roll which didn't have much taste but the peanut sauce was good. He also ordered the Beef Stew with Rice Noodle. It did have a good flavor but it was watery and I'd call it a soup, not a stew. It didn't look like the photo at all, even when he added the noodles and sprouts. Also, a lot of the beef was just hunks of fat, not meat. One surprise was that it arrived lukewarm. Luckily we were home so we could re-heat it. My grilled pork with vermicelli was good and as I expected. The minced chicken lettuce wraps were very good - no surprises. It was ready on time and the service was efficient and polite. read more

Overall a great choice. The menu is slightly more expanded than you would typically find, and for being in a low-viet populated state, this impressed us. The food was decent and so was the decor. Our server was a witty fellow, and we enjoyed his service. I gave 4/5 stars because the bun thit nuong felt like they ran out of the typical grilled meat so they gave me marinated pork belly sliced meat instead...which was good but it certainly wasn't the same and was not grilled. read more

Buckeye Pho - Bo knows - Vietnamese Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

I would like to say Asian Cuisine happens to be a top favorite so everyone I knew had nothing but great things to say about Buckeye Pho! I was itching for spring rolls and ended up with a beef stew with rice noodles! This Vietnamese family owned restaurant was packed in its limited seating! So get here early if you want to dine in. This place is nestled in the plaza on Bethel Road next to the Taylor House and the bright sign was easy to find. I had my mask in tow and went to the door and a couple was ahead of me. There is sanitizer in sight and plenty space. I got to the counter and noticed the menu was amazing so it was a lot to choose from. But I knew I wanted the stew so I ordered it and I could wait 15min. for my meal! I chilled out in the car and went to get my order in 13 mins... and it was all ready!!! I gave them a tip for that and headed home. The food was hot and looked beautiful! Those spring rolls mimicked gems in their fresh beauty! My stew was so much I had to pour the broth in a mixing bowl. Regular bowls will not fit it all! Very subtle spice and you could choose how much! The best! Check them out! read more

Still the best! 5 stars as always! I haven't had my pho tai (rare beef) or vegetable summer rolls in quite some time and I just happened to be near Bethel around dinner time this week, convenient for take-out. (No dine-in right now due to COVID and still closed on Wednesdays!) That broth though! It's got so many layers of taste and seasonings maximized by the addition of hoisin and sriracha. The meat they use is high quality and I like how they allow you to add it to the brother in a take-out order. Plenty of aromatics accompany the meat, noodles and broth, including cilantro, onions, kale peons, basil & sprouts. I could motorboat a big bowl of Buckeye pho every day of my life! read more

This place delivered on taste big time! We ordered shrimp summer rolls and a couple pho bowls. Everything was delicious. Those summer rolls tho......dang!!!!!! So good. The pricing was very reasonable and I can't say enough about customer service. I went inside to place my order. The gal who took it was very sweet. I only waited for a few minutes and had to take a phone call outside. While I was on the call, a nice guy brought my food out instead of waiting for me to come back in. Food and service was above our expectations. Thank you! read more

I redownloaded Yelp just for this review. My family and I have been looking for some good Vietnamese subs. The subs here were perfect! The bread is big, not hard enough that it shreds your mouth but still get that crispy crunch. Vegetables were fresh and the meat was good. The pho noodles and broths were delicious unlike any before. Even after dinning in my stomach was full, my heart content and my family happy . The staff here worked fast and efficiently. Greeted us and treated us with a smile. Very kind people Definitely coming back read more
