Service was fast and order taken by a nice lady who I'm sure hides a very nice smile somewhere under her frustrated perma-frown. Ordered the Pho Combo and Thai Tea. The drink arrived almost instantly, and the Pho was less than a minute behind. My usual Pho routine is to sample the broth as is, then start adding the basil, lime, sriracha et al. But this broth was sooo damn good! I lovingly slurped down at least 10 spoonfuls before pausing to consider adding some basil and lime. It is so good right out of the pot that it was hard to fathom changing anything. I could continue on and on about this Pho. But the summary is: It's Great!! Make a special trip to this place. You won't be disappointed.

We got so much more than what we could have asked for. Upon arrival the place was PACKED. Very good sign. I ordered the Papaya salad Lao style with 7 Thai chili peppers With one bite, I was somewhere else the flavor took me to some foreign land I've yet to visit. I love the culture fusion the restaurant gives. I will never forget my first experience here. Thank you Pho Lena your hospitality is priceless/unmatched.

I'm so glad we did because this ended up being the best meal we had while visiting Anchorage! I ordered the tofu pho and really enjoyed it. The broth was a little sweeter than what I personally prefer, but it was still delicious and packed with flavor. The tofu and other ingredients were fresh, and the bowl was comforting and satisfying. The staff was really nice and welcoming, and I loved the cozy, relaxed ambience. It was a great place to sit down and enjoy a warm bowl of pho after exploring Anchorage. Service was decent overall, although our waters were never refilled during the meal. Overall, this was definitely a highlight of our trip, and I would absolutely come back the next time I'm in Anchorage to try more of the menu!

I could eat here everyday and might even consider quitting my job so I can apply, lol. The bowl of noodles has everything you want, meat, veggies, carbs, drowning in a broth that is so rich and flavorful. Plus, the side of basil, sliced jalapeños, and mound of bean sprouts gives you that fresh crisp needed to complement this amazing dish. It's not uncommon to hear the distant sound of coughing around the restaurant as customers send the broth down the wrong tube from slurping this deliciousness down with the quickness!! Lastly, the service is always great and the staff is super attentive. The ambiance is fine, but the booths are a little tired and could use some updating.

This place has the best pho in the area; we even prefer it to Phonatik in Anchorage. We also like that it seems to be a family-run business, and the owner knows us by sight. The service is always prompt, and we enjoy that it is dining and takeaway. My husband and I both used to get the spicy beef pho, but suddenly that pho became waaaay spicier in the summer of 2022. I had to ask for a new, less spicy bowl of pho that day because the one I was given was so spicy I could barely breathe, and my lips were on fire. It was very different from the Spice level it had been. It was even too much for my husband to handle, which is saying something. He decided he would endure it vs. speaking up. Since then, their spicy beef pho has been less intense, but I have switched to ordering the plain beef pho and controlling my spice at the table. I also like asking for extra lime or beef sometimes. We recommend this place and will miss it when we move back to the lower 48.

But one thing I feel disgusting is when we try to ask what is the big size and the small size pho bowl... because we do not want to offer order . And he he grab next table already done eating 's left over bowl to show us the size and it still have a leftover pho inside the bowl and he keeps showing us two couple times and got close to us . I understanding he just aggressive to try to take good care of us, but that it wasn't a right way. And after he take our order he is nicely to repeat our order to make sure it's not wrong. But unfortunately I saw he has running nose and he just use his hand to clean it like regular ... and I hoping he wash his hand before bring our dish to our table. That is totally disgusting . Ambiance: place are ok can accept. But I think I not going there anymore. I am very sorry to say the true.
