Owner is nasty and mean to the customers. Food was not good. Owner doesn't care about her customers

The food is very good not gonna lie. But, when my mom ordered from there and received the order, two of the same order items were not there so yeah kinda disappointed for me of course. That's all cool read more

Jack's Pho' House is truly authentic Lao food. My wife is Lao and she had the beef larb and loved every bite. I had the Việt bánh mi sandwich, it was also perfectly authentic. The entire staff was professional and friendly and the prices were more than reasonable. The next time we are in Iowa we will make sure we stop again. Thank you so much. read more

Drove by this place many times and finally made it a point to drive down and stop in. Very extensive menu...there's so much that looks very good but we had it mind to get the Pho....it did not disappoint! The waitress was extremely helpful in helping us navigate the menu and the choices. We actually started with the Chicken on a Stick with a sweet chili sauce dipping sauce...very good! Crispy yet tender chicken. The Pho Do Bien was the Seafood Pho choice for me...a variety of seafood and noodles was delicious and served in a HUGE bowl! The Pho Tai Bo Vien was the Meat Pho choice for the Mrs..and it was awesome and plentiful as well. Come hungry as the portions are very generous and delicious...we added some of the various sauces that are available on the table such as hoisen(?spelling) and siracha....if you use the secret red sauce that's on the table be very careful...it'll tickle your taste buds for sure ‍ We'll definitely be back!! read more

Reviews are correct! This place is a must stop of all asian food lovers, and vegans. Stopped by 10 minutes before lunch time ended, yet was still very welcome and accommodate a sit down lunch. I ordered vegan Pho. Went for the medium bowl...and let me tell you it's LARGE and delicious. The place itself is a bit more dated now but clean. The freshly made food and service is a wonderful highlight on ones busy day. Affordable pricing. Defiantly, worth a visit. read more

We have been here quite a few times and it has always been great! Tonight we had fast service and the appetizers were on the table before we could even place our food order. We got the chicken on a stick, rangoon (best in town), and the chicken spring rolls with this amazing peanut dipping sauce. The kids both got the P3 beef pho in the medium size, which is the smallest size...but huge. We always have leftovers. I got the garlic pepper beef and my husband got the appetizer platter with an egg roll, crab Rangoon, and pork dumplings. Both of these came with sticky rice in a cute little container. The waitress was helpful with suggestions and the server that came back to check on drinks was excellent in timing. All of the food was perfect, as usual, and the service was the best we have had here. read more

I always love going to Jack's. The food is amazing and always fresh. I highly recommend their pho, garlic pepper beef, and crab Rangoon.

The best pad Thai. I love the feel in here and that the family runs the business and work together here.

Very good. It lives up to its ratings. My granddaughter who is a self proclaimed Pho expert said it was the second best she has had. I really liked my sweet and sour chicken. My wife loved the egg rolls. Will go again.. read more

I love the pho and the lettuce wraps and the laap! The staff are so great. Wendy makes our food just right (extra cilantro!!)! The pho has always been great but she just recently revamped her recipe and OMG, it's delish! read more

I wish this place was more consistent with the times they are open. Great food and wonderful gluten free/dairy free options!!!

Love having a plant based friendly option in a town that could use more tasty and healthy dining options. We have loved everything we have tried. The staff is friendly and professional and they will do their best to accommodate dietary needs. We have been so grateful to have this as an option for when we want a treat. We even grab banh mi's and some sides and eat them at the pub down the street. Makes for a fun and casual night out. read more

Wow!! I never expected to find a decent Pho place, let alone a great one, in the Midwest. I have had authentic Pho before, and this broth is just as good, if not better. Could have a little more meat, but it filled me up just as good as anything else. I ordered fresh spring rolls and they are HUGE! Last time I had the combo pad Thai and it was good, I easily made two meals out of it. The staff is super friendly and attentive, with great recommendations. This is going to be a regular place for me! read more

Pleasantly surprised. A friend of mine had warned me beforehand that I was not going to like this place. I'm delighted that turned out not to be the case. A few of my friends and I went here for lunch and the place wasn't too busy which I can only attribute to most people in Marshalltown not knowing about this restaurant yet. I came in for the Pho so I ordered the P3 which is their combination entry. The Pho was great, and it's good to see that this is now another good option to eat in Marshalltown. The wait was fairly short, and the staff were very attentive. The lady who took our order asked if we had any questions and she explained what dishes they could modify to accommodate the vegetarian in our group. The only minor complaints I have about the restaurant is that they could put a little more of the "meat" ingredients in the serving. Two shrimps, and 1 piece of sausage and beef each is a little stingy for the price. Also there should be an option to make any entry spicy. If the restaurant improves on these suggestions, this will become one of my favorite places to eat in town. read more

I am only reviewing based on my first and only visit and what I ordered. I had Pho and spring rolls. First, the spring rolls were not tightly rolled, so they fell apart upon first bite. I eat Pho all the time and all over the 5 state area. I hardly have bad Pho. This Pho is totally bland broth, noodles were under cooked (starchy), and amount of goodies they put in it was such a small portion. I'm not big on negative reviews, especially to small business owners who have skin in the game, but this is in hope they change in my experience is not what others will have in the future. My recommendation, go to a bunch of Pho restaurants and improve what you are doing. read more

This is a great place to eat. You will never leave not satisfied. I highly recommend it.

Every kind of food that I have tried has been great! My personal favorite is the pork sandwich and crab ragoons. The drunken noodles and Laotian stir fry are also delicious. And the spring rolls don't disappoint either. Wash it all down with a Thai tea and you will definitely be back for more. The food here is great! The reason I am giving only 4 stars is due the hours that the restaurant operates, as I find them to be less than convenient. read more

Fabulous pho soup that I absolutely crave!!! Their roasted chili sauce to put on top is beyond delicious and (thankfully) available by the jar! You can't go wrong here! Owners are terrific and know how to cook! read more

I agree with other yelpers. The pho was disappointing and completely missed the mark. There are other notable foods there however the pho left something to be desired. I would find it unfortunate that if someone were to go there to experience Pho for the first time, they would be surprised that it would be different (more traditional and not Americanized) in other restaurants than what they first experienced. Edit worth adding: I have not visited Jack's since my last visit but I hear that they have revamped their recipe. I recently came across comments from the owners threatening an individual who didn't care for the pho. After I read how they treated this customer for not believing their pho was the best in the world, I won't be returning to try their new recipe. read more

I have been to many pho restaurants. This is not authentic in flavor. Little meat, I paid for extra and still for 5 little pieces. No mint offered as well?? Definitely need to make the drive to a bigger town for some authentic dishes. The staff is nice food not so much. read more

Disappointing. We go through Marshalltown about once a month so wanted to try something different. I love Pho, have eaten it in Asia and we have a good place for it here at home. The pho here was the worst I've had; greasy tasteless broth, and what little meat it had was tough. Bland and flavorless. The spring rolls were good. The fried dumplings were overcooked to a dark brown color. Staff was nice but the food was bad. We won't be back. read more

Excellent Vietnamese restaurant in a quaint Main Street location in the center of town. Friendly family run business- Authentic Vietnamese. The veggie spring rolls were fresh and delicious , the Banh Mi chicken sandwiches were delicious and every bit as good as ones I've had in chicago , and the pho soup was perfect with tasty broth , crisp veggies , and soft tender slices of beef. A gem in the middle of Iowa. read more

Stopped for lunch. Excellent sandwiches and great service. The best pork sandwich. Can't eat just one. Stopped again and had the pho (vietnamese noodles) everything here is good. read more
