This is the second time I have eaten here and it has been delightful each time. We started with the steamed shrimp dumplings. They were light and flavorful, the perfect starter to a meal. We ordered the Stir-Fry Rice Noodle | Hu Tieu Xao Mi with Chicken and the Combo Pho. Both were excellent. The pho broth was seasoned to perfection. My rice noodle dish was filled with piping hot veggies and rice noodles tossed in a very tasty sauce. Both winners here! read more

Cute and cozy spot with a sophisticated decor. I love the chalk wall with the menu drawn on it! The pork spring rolls were really yummy. The chicken pho with chicken broth is really good as well. One tip when ordering is to confirm the type of broth that you want for your pho no matter the protein that you choose because the default is beef broth no matter the protein. read more

Holy phenomenal pho! Amy and her team have done a wonderful job curating every part of this restaurant and bar, right down to the music. Arrived a bit before they opened and was still welcomed at the bar to wait til they were ready for their Monday. Ordered the normal sliced rare beef I always enjoy when I get to have pho. Learned about Amy and her journey to this location on their menu while I waited. As the menu perfectly stated 'it takes hours to make and seconds to enjoy.' I could have inhaled it within seconds. I'm normally ok with leaving a cup or two of broth behind when I'm done but I had to take it home with me for my drive back. I wish I didn't have a 3 hour drive home so I could have stayed for a drink. read more

Midtown Pho was pleasantly delicious! I was not expecting such authentic homemade tasting Pho. My partner ordered the Pho and he even mentioned it tasted like home. I ordered the grilled pork and it was great to see that there was so much meet with the order. Having a lot of meat is a first that I have seen in Vietnamese restaurants. Our waiter was very kind and even though it was busy, he was still very attentive. The ambience of the restaurant is unique with the Vietnamese music playing, sports on the TV and the decor was very south east Asian I enjoyed it. If we are ever in Raleigh again, we will return. highly recommend! read more

TLDR; one less star for how long it takes the food to come out, which is honestly only a con for when you're eating out with a toddler. My husband actually doesn't mind the wait as he says it's proof that the food is freshly prepared when ordered. We rank the broth in our top five pho picks! We always order the brisket pho, and the flavor has always delivered and hit the spot. It's what we imagine and think of when we want pho, and we've never been disappointed! My toddler son also downs a whole bowl of the broth and thoroughly enjoys it. The beef is also soft enough for him, which is a huge plus! We've tried one other food (rice) item on the menu, but I don't think it was too memorable. As a family who is not a huge fan of spices, it was too distinct in the flavor for us. All in all, we will definitely be including this spot in our pho rotation! read more

First time here, and I must say, staff are open and welcoming! The Pho is out of this world! And do yourself a favor ( if you're of age!) try the Hana Lychee Sake! Wow! Deliciously smooth and lightly sweet. Just nothing short of fantastic! Brisket Pho read more

Excellent Food. I had the chicken curry and it was delicious. Very nice staff and atmosphere.

So far, the best nem nuong in the Triangle - more complex than spam, a little fermented, and accompanied by some not-too-sweet peanut sauce. I also thought their pho was pretty good - some depth to the broth and beef cooked JUST beyond raw, still tender, but not bloody. The bun bo hue, conversely, was unrecognizable as bun bo hue since it didn't have most of the standard ingredients or depth of flavor to the broth, but I guess the menu DID warn me by saying it contained 'beef, pork, and ham' with no mention of knuckles or blood cubes or anything like that. I know, it's Raleigh, but where can a girl get a knuckle around here? There was che on the menu, but no che on the day we went, which was disappointing. read more

Love this place! The food is delicious. Fresh Summer Rolls are my favorite . Rare Beef Pho is also a big hit. Excellent service too! Monday night is 1/2 bottles of wine, so take a friend or a date read more

Midtown Pho - Fresh Summer Roll (Goi Cuon) - Wine Bars Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

I am always on the hunt for a modern yet authentic Vietnamese restaurant. I was pleasantly surprised with this place! It's nice enough that I would not feel bad recommending it to friends who haven't tried Vietnamese before, but can rest assured they will have quality food. The prices are probably a bit higher than my parents would want to pay, but I think many millennials would be just fine with the prices in exchange for better service/ambiance. I liked the variety in the menu and was excited to see Banh Xeo on there! I am curious about it! Everything we ordered was tasty, though I do think some of the dishes could be improved upon. For apps we tried the soft shell crab, and it was fantastic. I mean it's soft shell crab, you cannot go wrong. I also wanted my husband to try the Fresh Pork Sausage Summer Rolls (Nem Nuong). It was refreshing, fresh, and delicious. My husband also ordered a lychee cocktail, and it was just ok. Tasted pretty artificial and overly sweet. For our meals I had the Combo Pho and hubs had the Bun Bo Hue. I personally thought the BBH was lacking some authentic fishier flavors but my husband enjoyed it. I am not sure I would ever order that dish here again unless I was desperately craving it. The pho however was great! I don't think you could go wrong with any pho variation here! Garnishes come out separately, you top your bowl as desired. Broth is fragrant, flavorful, and just fatty enough. The noodles were not clumped horribly together or broken. The rare beef was sliced thinly and evenly. I would have to return and try the vermicelli before making any final decisions but I can say without a doubt that you won't go wrong dining here! Would definitely recommend to others. read more

So delicious!!! I stopped here with a friend before we went to the Mitski concert at the Ritz just a short walk away. I'm still really not comfortable eating inside restaurants, and not very many people were wearing their masks, but the service was so quick (with masked servers) that overall I felt alright about it. I ordered a lychee martini and the vegetarian pho with veggie broth. The martini was absolutely delicious--I absolutely love lychee and the flavor was appropriately prominent :-) The pho was also amazing. I really appreciated that this place has veggie options that are this tasty. I took home leftovers because I couldn't finish the bowl in time for the concert's start time, and--this is a bonus--I forgot to store the noodles and broth separately, but the noodles shockingly did not turn mushy, and the pho was just as delicious the next day! There's plenty of parking in a large shopping center. I can't wait to return and have a proper relaxed meal once I feel absolutely comfortable dining in. :) read more

When I took a sip of the broth. I knew this place is a five stars. First of all, the design of this place is festive. Unlike many of the pho places, they actually put effort into designing their menu and restaurant. Love the vibe! There are quite a few options on the menu. And a variety of options. You can go deluxe with the 17, 18 price tag. Or simply get a quick bowl of noodles and beef at 12. Regardless of the option, the broth it comes with is divine. Spices and bone broth explodes in your mouth at an instant. The few drops of the umami oil along with the greens on the broth makes it look so appetizing. The service is wonderful. We went at the busiest time possible, dinner on a weekend. There was no wait. The waiter was super attentive and apologetic. He deserves a raise and a hug. Overall, Amy combined all her past experiences (which you can read on the menu while waiting for your food) and created a fantastic restaurant. Kudos! read more

Love Midtown Pho! Everything is perfect: authentic, perfectly seasoned food with complex flavors; cute setting and delightful ambiance; great service; convenient location with easy parking. Today I'm having the Seasoned Tofu Banh Mi but I've also had the pork banh mi, the fresh spring rolls, the pho and the Vietnamese omelet. Everything, delicious. And don't get me started about how fabulous the banh mi bread is - crisp, soft, fresh, soaks up the flavors of the filling perfectly. The omelet wasn't my favorite, it had a seasoning that wasn't for me. I ordered it because the people next to us were eating it, and they were raving about it - it was good, but not for me. Everything else - Perfect and Divine, I love this place, it's near where I live and I've become a regular customer. Five Stars, Plus! read more

First time at Midtown pho as tourist. The place was very modern and cozy in the strip. We order the combo pho and grilled pork chop rice dish. The pho broth was amazing. You can tell it's been cooking for hours. You don't even need a lot of condiments or any of it in the pho. There's a generous amount of meat in the pho. The pork chop was delicious and flavorful. You can taste the grill ginger and sweet sauce on the pork chop. So delicious and fulfilling. My husband and I would def come back. read more

Ordered the grilled fresh rolls and spicy lemongrass chicken and rice. Both were delicious.

Pho is delicious and the service was okay, didn't look like they had enough people to work the table orders. The ambiance is nice but pretty tight as they were busy and trying to accommodate people coming in. Great place to order Pho and other dishes. read more

We love this restaurant. The food is consistently delicious and the atmosphere is very pleasant. My favorite dishes are the fried vegetable spring rolls and combo beef pho. What I like most about their pho is that it never makes me feel bad after I eat it. Often times you eat out and feel bad the next day, but not here! The employees are always friendly and helpful. read more

I'd give it 4.5 stars. I think it's one of my favorite Vietnamese places here so far. As a Vietnamese person, I often don't crave pho but rather I crave everything else. The pho AND especially the bun rieu here are some of the better ones I've tried in the triangle, and the bun rieu is a big portion. Vietnamese specialty noodle dishes such as bun rieu and bun bo hue are hard to get right because they require so many ingredients to make the soup and then so many ingredients to serve it with. The crab cake pieces in this one are delicious and I love that they put so many vegetables and tofu and crab cakes! I've gone back multiple times for it and my partner has gone back multiple times for their pho. As with the majority of Vietnamese-American restaurants, you won't always get the special herbs that pair with the special noodle dishes. I haven't tried anything else but plan on it one day! Service is always quick and attentive. read more

From the cocktails to the starters and entrees, everything was fresh, flavorful and delicious Authentic is another word that comes to mind as I noticed that many from the Asian community were dining there when I joined a friend for lunch. Not too far from Wegmans, close to Planet Fitness and next to Jazmin, the location of Midtown Pho is unassuming from the outside strip mall that it is in. But once you walk inside, the beautiful and modern decor is just the right vibe for this restaurant. We started with cocktails..I really wanted a lychee martini but they were put of some ingredients but there were other refreshing options on the drinks menu. Our server was very attentive and once we ordered, the food came very quickly to our table. I would everything we had again. I especially loved the soft shell crab starter. Looking forward to when the Temps cool down some so that I may enjoy a bowl of PHO soup! Counting down the days to when I can return... read more

Got to go here and the place was packed on a weekend. I would definitely recommend calling ahead for to- go orders, but I should've known. Got the bun bo hue and it was just as good as when my mom makes it, so I knew this place was legit. My friends got the chicken pho and the spring rolls and everything was authentic and delicious. I think this is my new go-to Viet place and I appreciate that they have dishes on the menu that most other (not as authentic) places don't, like the banh xeo and broken rice plates. They have a nice open faced kitchen and the atmosphere inside is nice and casual, though still with Viet vibes. The only thing is that I wish they offered outdoor seating, but they do seat at the bar in addition to the tables indoors. read more

Midtown Pho - Chicken pho with added vegetables - Wine Bars Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Customer service: 5 stars: the gentleman that waited on me was phenomenal and gave great recommendations. Food: 4 stars: the pho Broth was a little bland but I did order vegan pho because I had a stomach ache. It did hit the spot and was very filling. Just what I needed to calm my stomach. I ordered the steamed dumplings; I've eaten dumplings all up and down the east coast as well as China town in LA. these dumplings were bland and a tad over steamed. I attribute this to it be growing pains of a new establishment. Price point: 5 stars: I felt like I was getting good value for the money. Cleanliness: 5 stars: very tidy and eye pleasing. Overall: if I was back in the area I would come back. Keep up the great work! read more

This has become our go-to takeout spot when we're craving pho, banh mi or noodles. The service is always excellent, I've never had to wait too long to grab my to-go order. I've never dined in, but they've done a nice job with the space and the drink specials look pretty solid. The Banh mi sandwiches are amazing, I really dig the bread and the fresh, authentic ingredients. I've tried 3 variations (original, special, grilled pork) and while each have their merits, my favorite is the original. The vegetable tempura is a great value, and definitely our go-to starter. The pho comes with all the trimmings, and it's a very solid portion. Always some leftovers for lunch the next day. All in all, this is a great experience for a reasonable price. The people are friendly. The service is reliable. And the flavors are bold! read more

Such a gem, tucked away out of sight! Came here randomly since it's close to the Ritz and was completely blown away. Had the sliced rare beef pho and was so completely satisfied by the end. The broth is fragrant and light, not overly salty but with a slight sweet overtone that was delightful. The beef was sliced super thin so it melted in my mouth and there was plenty of bean sprouts, jalapeños, and basil provided that I was slurping away in no time. Service was super friendly and attentive, I must've had my water refilled 4 times (I drink a lot of water), and I was greeted right as I walked in. Definitely will be coming back here next time I need a pho fix! read more

Midtown Pho has been solid the 3x I've ordered from them. I always get the chicken vermicelli bowl, which is consistently delicious and fresh. They don't give an egg roll with the chicken option, though, so you have to order that on the side (I'm used to it coming with). I've never eaten inside, but the atmosphere looks cozy and cute too. Overall, worth checking out! read more

Was looking for a place to stop at before my flight home back to Colorado and this place definitely hit the spot. After eating so much Southern food on our mini trip, boyfriend and I were craving pho. The serving size was great and we liked that they actually gave us an adequate amount of meat. I also loved the temperature of the broth, I prefer my broth to come out hot. Broth was great, felt like it was missing that extra flavor but it was still amazing and pretty authentic. read more

First, this isn't located in "Mid-Town". They are trying to capitalize on the real Mid-Town reputation. As another poster mentioned the take out packing is poor. They put the broth on top making it top heavy and falls over on the way home. I paid $2 for tofu and got just 5 pieces. Total bill with two rolls was almost $30. Didn't realize I had tried them once before (not memorable) and this time wasn't any better. Hate to give poor reviews for locally owned businesses, but the value just isn't there. read more

Midtown Pho - Shrimp pho with meatballs. Delicious!! - Wine Bars Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

We came in with a large late-lunch party. No reservations. One rambunctious toddler. One party member in a wheelchair. They were able to accommodate us in a matter of minutes! Our server, Tri (pronounced "tree"), was so wonderful and patient with our group. It was our first time there after reading great reviews and now we see why. To be totally fair and honest, only one party member lives in the area, and he said he'd definitely be coming back. The rest of our group was from out of town. I'm a Los Angeles native and of Asian heritage, so I'm a bit of a pho snob...sorry not sorry...my mom makes the best pho for my taste. But Midtown Pho was definitely very good. Not quite like mom's but that's just me. Compared to mom's, I'd give them 4/5 stars. I think it's a bit "milder" than a Little Saigon pho joint you'd find in Orange County, CA -- but hey, their market is a bit different, so it's tailored to local taste. No prob. I get it. Still good. The decor is super cute. They clearly put effort into the aesthetics. Relative to the aforementioned pho joints, I'd give them 6/5 stars if I could on that one! Pretty much everyone got different types of pho - the only difference really is which meats you want in your bowl. All very good. The table consensus was "yummy" for their taste, value, and portion size. On the latter, the bowls are huge like what you'd find in a hole-in-the-wall in OC. Prices are good for the area, according to the one local in our party. The meats tasted fresh. Good cuts. We also got some rice dishes. All very good. For me, slightly less than authentic, but again, different market demo. I still found my dish very good. I was happy with my order. I would say the menu is slightly "Americanized" but not in a negative way because everything was still very good. I would definitely go back, when I visit the Raleigh area. I'm a tough customer when it comes to Asian food but given our overall experience, I gave them all 5 stars. The service was key, key, key, because I don't care how delicious something is...if service sucks, it makes the food taste bad. Give Midtown Pho a try. I like! read more
