I really enjoy the food here, it's what keeps me coming back. That and the laid-back, helpful employees, the cleanly facility, and the local proximity to me. My girlfriend and I came in here the other night on a Monday and it had been raining earlier but when we came it had ultimately ceased until later on that night. The vibes were certainly inviting for some pho and we came hungry. We ordered a side of egg rolls, I ordered the beef pho bowl and a Thai tea and she ordered the chicken pho bowl with a lemonade. I loved my Thai tea, however she wasn't a fan of her lemonade. The pho, on the other hand, was undisputed in it's quality, we both chowed right down, and though we both got to go containers, I ate a lot of mine right there on the Fresh Alley patio. This is a place I'll continue to come back to as it's cheaper than the pho place on McDowell that's a bit closer to me, and it's open til midnight every night if I'm not mistaken which is a nice bonus, if ever we decide to come for some late night pho. read more

Found bug in my pho! I was really disappointed with my experience here. I ordered a bowl of pho and was enjoying my meal until I noticed a bug in the food. Finding a bug in my pho completely ruined my appetite and made me question the cleanliness of the restaurant. I understand that things can happen, but this was especially concerning considering the food was served directly to me. I hope management takes this seriously and improves their food preparation and cleanliness standards moving forward. read more

Fresh Alley - Bug - Asian Fusion Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

A solid spot for some late night boba and eats in the ASU area! When I was a student, I was practically here every week, getting late night pho and drinks with my friends. It can definitely get quite busy, and the parking can be difficult so that is something to note. You order up front and then take a seat if you are dining in, and I have experienced it before where there are no available tables to eat at. Otherwise, it's mostly okay! The food is pretty good, I have to say, for what seems like an Asian fusion spot, the Vietnamese dishes are really authentic. And not many pho places are open late, so it's a great choice for those late nights as a student. I really like their Berry Twilight drink, it's pretty to look at and it's tasty and light. I love aloe vera in it, and always get it half sweet. I don't get anything else really, and I haven't felt like I wanted to. Definitely a good visit as a student, but I don't think I would go out of the way to come here now if I wasn't already in the area and craving something in the later hours. read more

Pleasantly surprised. This place is really lovely. Service was kind. Meal was generous and filling for the most part. Prices were good, place was clean. The only critique I had was the bahn mi bread is small! At least comparatively to other spots. I would come back. I would order more food. And the drinks were pretty decent too. read more

Okay, so I was ready not to like this spot especially considering how awful parking is here. As well, I generally notice that Vietnamese spots that only do English menus aren't that great. However, I was so pleasantly surprised and impressed by their pho. The broth was super clear and tasted just like mom's home cooked pho. The meats were tender and veggies fresh. I also ordered their mango lilikoi drink, which was sweet and refreshing. I wasn't particularly a fan of the order then seat yourself to be served after style, but the servers and cashier were friendly and the food was good which mattered most. The place is clean though a little on the small side but there's outdoor seating too. read more

First it might be best to walk, take light rail or ride share app to get there due to difficult parking. I was very fortunate to find a spot right in front. You order at the counter then take a seat and the friendly staff brings the food to you. I ordered vegetable pho and ca phê sửa da which was very good and of generous size. The pho broth lacked richness and possibly salt but the vegetables were fresh so overall I enjoyed it and give it 4 stars. 5 stars for the iced Vietnamese coffee. The decor is nice and the environment is clean and tidy. This restaurant is locally owned. read more

Gotta love this place for a late night vietnamese spot on campus for banh mis and pho. I know their prices are a little steeper, but it's also what you get for the ambiance and the timing, plus the extra choices for drinks. I had to deduct a star because they did not let me know that they were out of the drink I ordered until after we paid and sat down, which was kind of awkward because I was then forced to try and choose an alternative once I sat down without a menu in front of my face and then I ended up really not liking the drink that much, but I know these things happen once in a while. read more

Came here after a night of drinking with friends and it definitely hit the spot! They are open late and food came out very quickly! The cashier was warm and friendly. Since this place is near a university, it was open late and quite popular. The broth was decent and they even accommodated extra noodles for my husband. It is a little on the pricey end but that is to be expected. read more

Food: 6/5 I ordered the grilled chicken spring rolls. They are charred to perfection, flavorful, and succulent. Some of the best spring rolls I have tasted. Also, I ordered the grilled chicken pho. It was average. Not terrible, nothing outstanding. The grilled chicken spring rolls were the star attraction here. Service: 5/5 Both times I have come, I have been treated with great service. Upon placing my order, my food was brought out just a few minutes later. Atmosphere: 5/5 This area of Tempe is metropolitan, vibrant, and buzzing. This restaurant is located on a strip of other eateries and next to the light rail station. Overall, if you are in Downtown Tempe, don't forget to make a stop at Pho Fresh Alley & Boba Tea. read more

Went to this cute place while visiting my daughter at ASU. Convenient location with lots of parking in the back. We ordered the vegetable pho and boy was it good. Vegetables came on the side with a spoon chopsticks and plenty of napkins. The broth was a perfect combination of savory and salty. Everything was fresh. The decor was modern with a huge TV on the wall showing still shots of exotic locations around the world. There was table side service and our plates were cleared promptly. When in the mood for pho don't pass this place up. read more

Pho is hot and comes in a very substantial portion. However, the broth is not as flavorful as I would have liked and the meat was a bit chewy. Boba is delicious and fresh. read more

The good: the chicken summer rolls were good. I'll admit I pulled em apart to remove the excess chicken fat, but overall the flavor was pretty good! The bad: the spicy watermelon "fresh fruit" actually tasted decent, but it had almost no fresh fruit and the chamoy candy pieces are like rocks within--can't bite or even chew it. Also avoid if diabetic. The ugly: their boba. Try it yourself. I just assumed all boba was sweet, chewy, and delicious. I'm not sure I've ever tasted boba that wasn't until today. I ate the summer rolls (minus the chicken fat), one-third of the spicy watermelon because the flavor was actually addictive, and literally 2 sips of the boba milk tea because couldn't stand the flavor of the milk or the boba. read more

It's busy after 8pm because all other Pho restaurants close and it is open until midnight. The Pho is good with good size portions. They have small sides though. If you order a side of vegetables it's not worth it. Good place to eat in or take out. Lots of other items on there menu too. Parking can be a problem there. Next to ASU so if you're walking it's a great location. read more

I recently visited Fresh Ally, hoping for a delicious bowl of pho, but I was disappointed., The beef and ingredients didn't taste fresh, nothing was fresh except basils .and the overall quality was far from what I expected. I left feeling unsatisfied and won't be returning. read more

Cute little restaurant close to my daughter's apartment complex. My husband' and I ordered drinks and they were on point. Customer service was awesome. But, I do have to agree with some previous comments on here about the meat. It did taste a little off. At least in the Pho we had it with. Though, I do have to say the shrimp veggies spring rolls were great!. Being honest, If you're in to Pho and you've had your share of GOOD Pho before you'll be disappointed here. read more

I ordered the food by DoorDash, and it was very tasty. I got the shrimp fresh rolls, shrimp pho, and starry lychee. The fresh rolls were ok but not the best I've had. They were smaller than usual and difficult to chew, but the peanut sauce was nicely flavored and thin enough to dip or pour. I liked the zingy flavor of the peanut sauce. The pho was a nice generous portion with lots of extra sauces that i requested. The shrimp was plentiful and fresh, but some of the salad ingredients could have been more fresh. The starry lychee was delicious! read more

I was in town to celebrate my bachelor party. After a long night out, we definitely needed something to eat. You could never go wrong with pho! My hesitancy is that I don't know the quality of pho in Arizona. As someone from the Bay Area, the bar is pretty high. Quick note first, they supposedly don't use MSG. But bigger than that, if you use credit card, there's a 3% charge. So be prepared with cash unless you're ok with the extra credit card service fee. To my surprise, the price is same as California. I was hoping it be cheaper. I got the beef pho. It seemed like the beef pho is the best bang for the buck. It's not as good as Cali, but it's comparable. I liked the broth for the beef pho. The meatball was not fresh. The brisket was decent, but I wish there was more. The noodles were decent other than the fact that they were so thin, it broke off very easily. Overall, I say Pho Fresh Alley was better than I expected. Remember, bring cash if you want to avoid the 3% credit card fee! read more

From the service to the food, everything was great. And I even ordered it to-go. Went with the vermicelli noodles with pork, fish sauce and a side of the Korean BBQ short ribs. The portions were generous and the pork and short ribs were charred and the short ribs weren't overpoweringly sweet Also ordered the jasmine milk tea without boba and it wasn't too overpowering in terms of the floral taste. Got regular sweetness level and it was perfect. Since I was visiting the area, I don't really have anything to compare it to, but would definitely recommend this place. Plenty of seating and nicely decorated. The people were really kind and the food was delicious :) read more

I ordered delivery from them while on a work trip and feeling the need for something comforting. Interestingly, their reviews on DoorDash are a lot better than yelp. I got the veggie spring rolls and the veggie pho. The spring rolls were decent, but there was definite room for improvement - could have been tighter rolled and the filling could have been more flavorful. That being said, they worked for me. The veggie pho was sadly disappointing to me. The depth of flavor was missing, as was the umami - i feel like they just didn't put enough effort into the broth and it was completely lackluster. They also choose to put whole baby carrots into the pho broth which were not only half raw, but very difficult to eat. For what I paid - I got 4 measly pieces of tofu and I expected a lot more. I also think a tiny packaged sachet of hoisin sauce is not enough and kinda insulting when your pho lacks flavor anyway. Too much broccoli to bulk up the soup and not enough substance in my opinion. Shame on me for hurrying with my order and not looking at yelp reviews before I did! Another pet peeve - I doordashed to my hotel room. I had no available utensils like a bowl or something to mix my pho in. I really think the restaurant should provide the option to provide some sort of disposable bowl ( I'd be happy to pay for it even), to allow for a better eating experience. I understand this may not be a problem for everyone. Don't think I'll be ordering here again. read more

ROTTEN MEAT! Food is anything but fresh. Brisket was spoiled, smelled foul and turned colors! Sprouts were old and slimy in the bag. Meatballs entirely missing. I could not even attempt to eat it. Beware of HEALTH CODE VIOLATIONS! Customer service did nothing and UE did nothing! Spoke to 2 managers at this location, none remedied the situation. One manager was defensive and never once apologized. Said they can't do anything because I ordered from Uber Eats (who would also do nothing). Was told they are new to UE and she doesn't really know the system and is still figuring it out. Gave me a runaround. Couldn't give me a refund but the mind blowing part is she wouldn't even agree to give me a fresh pho if I came in person to pick it up! Never seen such incompetence. read more

Meh!!! Nothing too special!! This is not the most authentic Vietnamese restaurant in Tempe and far from the best. The food here is very mediocre. But--- it is easily accessible and quick! The food here is affordable and they have an extensive boba menu so that is a plus! I ordered the Korean short ribs vermicelli, strawberry boba, and shrimp spring rolls. The shrimp spring rolls were as basic as you can imagine. I expected a little bit more filling with more variety other than shrimp, noodles, and lettuce. The peanut sauce was interesting to say the least.... It had a weird coconut flavor to it which is not traditional at all. The short rib vermicelli is OK. The fish sauce was very bland and watered down. It upset my stomach. The boba was good! Nothing too special. I would come here again if needed! A plus here is the fact that they open late- 12:00-1:30 depending on the day! read more

Two stars for the drink. I ordered the Pho with Beef through Uber eats. Within 10 mins of "picking at" slowly eating the soup. I was immediately in the bathroom which isn't great in the middle of the work day. Once I stopped eating the soup I began to feel better. I ordered the Thai Milk Boba Tea which is great. As for the food I had to toss it. Unfortunate really. I love pho. Sorry to say I won't be ordering from here again. read more

Did takeout, so can only speak on that. Food was ready in a shockingly short amount of time. It's perfect if you're craving Vietnamese food, quick and easy. Definitely not the best Viet food I've ever had. Grilled chicken vermicelli bowl - Good portion, but disappointed that the radish and carrot combo didn't taste very pickled. Can feed 2, or one very determined and hungry person. Good amount of protein to noodle ratio here. Spring rolls - I got these with grilled chicken. They were generally fine. Dipping sauce had too much hoisin/was too sweet for my personal preference. Roll was not wrapped very well, but it got the job done. Comes with 3 rolls and a generous pack of dipping sauce. Thai tea - Like the rest of the order, great if you need a thai tea fix, or if you've never had it before. Boba was softer than I'd like and lacked a chewiness. Super convenient location amidst so many apartment complexes typically filled with college students. Get a pretty good caloric bang for your buck here. Not sure if I'll be back. read more
