I'm really surprised to find decent vietnamese food in lubbock texas. I tried the bun bo hue and the bun thit nuong. The bun bo hue had a decent flavor of lemongrass and surprisingly came with mam ruoc on the side (a particularly unique and... stronger fish sauce essentially bc it's shrimp paste I believe). The bun thit nuong had good char and flavor on the meat and lots of fresh veggies. Service was so so but we went right before the ice storm so. read more

The food was good but the price for the broccoli beef was a little high for the amount of food. You can sit wherever you want and the staff was nice but didn't check in on us. We would go back just for the pho next time since that was good read more

This restaurant is tucked away in a strip mall located conveniently from the highway and major shopping areas. The restaurant is surprisingly spacious inside, with a unique decor blending Asian and modern styles. The dimly lit interior created an intimate atmosphere during a busy lunch service. Food Highlights: * Spring rolls were standard * Meatball pho delighted my daughter * Steak pho was decent * Boba teas were good, but one cup leaked * Chicken skewer had an off-putting sweet flavor * Egg rolls were disappointingly greasy The accompanying vegetables and herbs for the pho dishes were notably sparse compared to other pho restaurants. Service:The staff was kind but slow, understandable during the busy lunch rush filled with families. It was an ok experience. read more

Ordered through door dash. It was missing the soup. In addition I ordered spring rolls. The rolls were way too loose and the flavor was terrible. The ingredients for the pho were not good either. Everything was bland. They sent one little sprig basil. Like four slices of jalapeño. Basically I am writing this to make sure others don't waste their money. read more

This is a quiet place to enjoy delicious food. In fact, it's my favorite place in town for pho. Takeout is popular here, but I always dine in. The B4 and P4 are my family's favorites. Service is calm and friendly. read more

The Bun Bo Hue was decent. It was lacking the flavors of bun bo hue, but it wasn't too bad. It was enough to satisfy my cravings. The portion was big. It came with a pork hock which was a huge plus. I received bean sprouts, cabbage, Thai basil, jalapeños, limes, and a shrimp paste with my bun bo hue. I was impressed that I receive the right herbs and even the shrimp paste. Every table had the lemongrass chili oil for the bun bo hue. Overall, it was pretty authentic for the small city of Lubbock! read more

I'm surprised it was not busier when I stopped by today but I was having a late lunch. Had the Bun bo Hue here and let me tell you, I'm Vietnamese myself so I always appreciate it when the restaurant gives you mam tom (shrimp paste) and sa te (chili oil) with it. It also comes with gio heo (pork knuckles). So flavorful and delish. Also the staffs were very sweet and polite and accommodating. If you are into Vietnamese dishes, check this place out. read more

Came here for the first time for a warm lunch on this cold afternoon, I have tried a couple other places in town for Pho, but this place knocked it out of the water. Our plates were HUGE, DELICIOUS, and FLAVORFUL. We also got some of the rice paper spring rolls (pictured below) and I think i could have ate 10 of them easily. Everything was so yummy, I am already thinking about the next tjme i'll be back for more! A3 and P11 pictured below! Restaurant was just a small local business, and i will be giving them more every time i get the chance. read more

This is the place to get Pho in Lubbock. Trust me. I'm Vietnamese. I grew up in San Jose where half the people (and consequently restaurants) were Viet. This place is authentic and delicious. read more

I'm sorry but..... I don't love Pho.... At least not this one. I do not usually give one star reviews but just one totally tipped the balance. I think pretty much the whole experience in general is why I must have gotten them on an off day. Wanted to introduce some co-workers to Vietnamese food here to get them to come over to the dark side, so it was just the worst place one could think of. First of all the heater was not working so prepare for your food to be lukewarm for at least 5 minutes and then you are on your own from there. The service was okay at first but once the food is dropped it's kind of like runaway run far away and try not to be seen. Got up to ask for shrimp paste for the bun bo hue I was told they do not have any again (this is my second time in a year here). The bun bo hue that I ordered tasted nothing like traditional and not even the traditional hock piece that usually goes in there, you get sliced up pork which is very untraditional. The bobas that we ordered or decent except that the type of yoga was pretty much either old or not cooked long enough, kind of like eating a tapioca with consistency of Tootsie Roll without the flavor in the middle. The "shaken beef" if I could tell pretty much that it was not going to be very good just by looking at it when it came out, and surely it was not very good but it was not terrible. While you are busy freezing your butt off because the heater does not work you will also be accompanied by a whole slew of dirty tables around you, we sat there and wondered how long it would take for them to bus tables which are in half an hour average and would only be cleaned as people walked in. I'm pretty sure they must have been short on help or something. The pricing, let me tell you about the pricing! Definitely overpriced. $53 without the tip for just three people what kind of have you wondering why didn't you just go to a cheap steakhouse or even a seafood restaurant, I know apples to oranges but you get my drift. This is one of two places here in Lubbock that I definitely would not recommend you to take a first-timer to, time to explore around. read more

I order to go beef pho, soup was room temperature and could not cook my raw beef. Soup needs to be hot to cook beef. Egg roll was okay, nothing special. read more

I love this local eatery. The food is authentic and bangin'. The service is attentive without being annoying. The ambiance could use some work but I can't ask for much more. There is a lot of seating, great condiment options (including this amazing garlic chili oil that is made in-house). I recommend either the Combination Pho or the Pho Tai Chin. For appetizers, I like their Crab Rangoon because they're light, have just enough filling, and the sauce they come with is fantastic and not overly sweet. read more

Decent Shrimp Spring Rolls with peanut sauce and I enjoy their pho broth. Best spot in town, in my pho opinion.

First time trying "I love pho" ordered online and food was ready quickly and early in the estimated pickup time frame. Shrimp & Pork spring rolls (the fresh wrapped rolls usually referred to as summer rolls) were fairly bland. The egg rolls ( more like what we know as fried spring rolls) but without the glass noodles, were good and tasty. Lemongrass with rice was good did not know it had jalapenos not a problem for me though. Both vermicelli dishes were tasty. read more

Our two favorite Thai places were closed today. And the Vietnamese place with the highest rating was also closer. This was our 4th choice to eat. We were hoping to be pleased. Overall ... Meh! Decor: Open and casual. Had to request that the table we were going to sit down at be cleaned first Appetizer: Shrimp Spring Roll. Was served after our entrees. This got great reviews here. But we were disappointed. The peanut sauce was tasty. Entree: Curry Chicken had WAY more rice than chicken. And the dish came with broccoli in name only -- it had 3 small stalks. Mostly for color and not for nutrition, I think. Had to request the entire plate be sent back to get heated. It was served lukewarm. Shrimp Vermicelli was acceptable. Not bad, just not "roll your socks up and down" good The Bill: Affordable. But we had to send it back to remove an item that we did not order The server was kind. We will try another Vietnamese place instead of coming here again. Sadly read more

This was my second trip to I Love Pho, and just as with the first time. I loved everything about it. We started out with the crab rangoon and they are incredible. I got the P4 which consisted of Tendons and Flank and the meat, while highlighted on the menu, is not the main star of the dish. The broth and what you're able to do with it is. With 4 sauce choices in the table there a multitude of ways to personalize your dish and create what you want. I've never actually tried a bean sprout before I came to this restaurant and I've never realized how incredible they are until I got them in my dish. If you are in town and are searching for Asian restaurants, I can't recommend I Love Pho enough EDIT: I forgot to mention the price! A small bowl is $8.95 and a large bowl is $9.95, an incredible price for the amount of food you get read more

Love their eye round steak pho! Their meat is the best quality compared to other pho restaurants here. I also love their crab ragoons!

Great service and tasty food!!! I really enjoyed the meal I got although I would have probably wanted it to be a bit more seasoned but that's okay!! It was still tasty and delicious!!! If you're a fan of crispy chicken skin, you will love the c13 menu item!! For my first time eating at this place I had a pretty positive experience. The waiter was also super kind. I will definitely be eating here again!!! read more

Absolutely the best Pho in lubbock!! I'm always buying the P2 (ribeye pho) and have not been disappointed even once. The large typically lasts for 2 meals so the price point really isn't bad. Also- their pork spring roll is delicious. I definitely recommend this place and will continue to go here for my pho fix. read more

P1 was delicious. I come here all the time when I'm craving Pho. Don't get the vermicelli. It's bland.

We were in Lubbock that day and were craving some good Pho so we decided to try I Love Pho after seeing some good reviews. We started with the nem nuong cuon- which was really good. We hoped that we would get a good bowl of pho then. However, after getting our bowls of Pho, they were not good at all. There was some chemical taste in the broth that we couldn't figure out what that was. Being Vietnamese, we are used to having a lot of MSGs being put into the food; however, this wasn't it. My fiance got really sick that night when we got home because of eating that bowl of pho. Also, for the price, there isn't a lot of meat in our bowls- just a few thin slices that wasn't even good. I have my fair share of pho both in Vietnam and here in America and I would not recommend this place as it gives a bad representation of Vietnamese food. read more

Tried this place today. Takeout was super fast! I got a vermicelli dish, which was great. The pork was really, really good; it actually tastes like legit Vietnamese BBQ pork, which often isn't the case at most restaurants. The shrimp also had nice grill marks and tasted clean. My only critique is the fish sauce that came with was kinda sad and neutral. Better fish sauce (e.g. like a three crabs) would punch up this dish even more. Also got the Vietnamese coffee, which was phenomenal. Overall this is a good place! Decor could use an upgrade as it grows, but who cares about decor during the current pandemic. read more

I love pho will always be my Pho place here in Lubbock. I love it so much, I originally tried it in California and this is the closest I could get to that. The service here is wonderful, I'm not sure the servers name that's been helping me, but he's wearing a Lubbock high basketball shirt. Very polite and made sure I had everything I needed. I always get the p15 with shrimp spring rolls. It's always made to perfection and I always leave satisfied. The Thai tea has improved so much since I first started coming, and adding bobba is always good. If you're looking for a great pho place in Lubbock, THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU no doubt. You will NOT be disappointed read more

I won't be coming back here. I showed up at 7:30pm and they close at 8:00pm. One of the waiters immediately told me they were closed. I said the sign says 8pm he said yeah we are closed and told us to leave while one fo the waitress there just laughed about it. Great business practice read more

I have been here many times and I really like coming here. My favorite things to get are any of the Pho bowls and any of the vermicelli's. I have yet to have a dissatisfying meal here.

It was meh. The pho was good but the service was trash and they aren't very friendly. It was our first time going and when we walked in we weren't greeted and we waited for at least 15 minutes before being helped. The man taking our order was curt and pretty much ignored us the whole time we were there. Probably won't be returning. read more

Their PHO DAC BIET is the best that I've had in Lubbock. What make a good bowl of pho is the broth ALWAYS ALWAYS THE BROTH. The clarity of the broth and the rich star anise flavor of this broth is what makes it legit. They skimp on the meat which is depressing considering other pho places load it on for the same price. I will always be loyal though. Love that every time I go in the local college students have flooded the establishment. Keep this place alive! read more

The pho my wife and I ordered yesterday is so small that a kids size pho from other restaurants are larger than these. Very little beef and very small quantity of noodle. Soup tasted are very average. The salt lemon soda we ordered also tasted terrible. We would say this is the worst pho we have ever tasted in Texas. We ate pho extensively in Southern California, Las Vegas, Austin and Seattle. We have never come across a pho restaurant which is so bad and which charges so much. I ended up didn't leave a tip to the server who appears to be the boss read more

So there isn't many Vietnamese restraints in Lubbock and this is the new known place. Pretty disappointing on the food. My sister ordered Pho but even by the look of it the broth was so oily and greasy looking it didn't really look appetizing. So I tried her soup and there was way too much oil in it. Well as ,y dish I ordered C7 a rice dish with chicken and egg roll. The chicken was good but the rice they served me did not taste fresh at all. Like it felt like rice that was leftover from the day before. The spring roll isn't as fresh as a taste like it should be the sauce is very runny. I was not impressed for a restaurant that was a place of grand opening. Service was friendly though. read more

I do not review very often but it is necessary now, and in detail! (FYI I'm from Los Angeles in a suburb where all surrounding areas have a population that is 97% Asian- so I'm used to great Pho and boba!) I ordered a Tofu Pho and a Thai tea with boba to go, and it was a great experience! The boba was yummy and fresh and squishy, best boba I've tasted in town so far! The Pho broth was in a large microwave safe container with a box of the (warm=fresh) noodles and all the toppings separate ! I was surprised that they even put my favorite sauces in mini containers and A LOT of all the toppings and limes, without me even asking #YESSSS I had about 2-2.5 bowls full of nicely done up Pho by the end of it all:) so happy, feel like I'm home :D read more

This was my first time to try this place and I have to say it's one of the better places to get pho in Lubbock. I definitely prefer the flavor of their broth over Saigon's. I picked up a small to-go order of pho with steak and brisket. The staff was friendly and everything tasted great! Unfortunately, there wasn't much meat and the broth wasn't hot enough, especially for the price. It's high for a small. And shortly after eating I was very sick. Not sure if the meat wasn't refrigerated properly or what... but its disappointing because this place was delicious. I'll probably stick to ordering from Pho Cali. read more
