Noodles & Pho - Beef stew - Vietnamese Near Me - Hixson, Tennessee

Food/Taste/Flavor: 4/5 - ordered two Pho with one Rare Beef (#13) and one Rare Beef and Brisket (#15). The broth was a bit salty but quite one dimensional where we didn't care to finish the soup. The rare beef was already cooked all the way through by the time it arrived at our table that we're not quite sure what the difference between that and well-cooked would be. It was interesting in that there were sliced mint in the soup but the cilantro was out on the plate for you to add based on preference. While the noodle was good, it wasn't quite enough to fill either of us. Service: 3/5 - very efficient but not friendly at all since she seemed annoyed at any questions/requests. We've been to small Asian restaurants before but this is a whole different level of curtness. Ambiance: 5/5 - clean overall with light instrumental music playing Value for price: 4/5 - not the best pho but seemed like it was one of the only options around. Not sure why they were selling live fish as pets at a restaurant....? read more

We went here for the first time today. We went for an early dinner and no one else came in the entire time we were there. It was a very quaint little restaurant. We were told to take a seat and the waitress came over and handed us menus. We both ordered Bun which is the vermicelli noodles. We also ordered shrimp summer rolls for an appetizer. It took a long time for our food to come out, but at least I felt like it was fresh. The portions were huge and even though pricy for what we ordered they did not skimp on the meat. Here was the issue. First off and maybe because the place was empty she was drying or doing something with dishes or silverware that literally hurt my ears, so bad my husband asked if we should take it to go. Thankfully it stopped. Our appetizer and meal were served together and then we never saw the waitress come out again. We waited and waited finally I got up and walked to the counter and said "Hello" through the swinging door. She popped up from behind the counter where she had fallen asleep. Anyhow I asked for a to go container and paid. I would probably try again maybe she was just tired. Next time I know not to expect any friendliness, service or attention just hopefully good food. The problem however is when you go out it's because you want great food and service. Our 2 meals and a can of coke was just under 50.00, so I know I can make it for a lot less, but we go to support local businesses and service. Food I would say average, not bad, but not great and service would be zero stars. Now I'm wondering if that's why no one was there. , read more

Noodles & Pho - rare beef pho #13 - Vietnamese Near Me - Hixson, Tennessee

We went to our favorite Vietnamese restaurant. I had my favorite Udon Seafood #22. I make this moan after taking my first sip. It's so good. My husband had his favorite grill pork chop #39 including appetizers fried shrimp and pork dumplings. We talk about how relaxing the music is adding to the enjoyment of our experience. read more

I eat the Pho with chicken, and absolutely love it. The vegetables are fresh, not limp and lifeless, but cooked just right. The atmosphere is casual, light (not dim) and open. Food is delivered in a timely manner. read more

Thoroughly enjoyed our first visit of what we expect to be many. Attentive service including questions to clarify that we knew what we were ordering. Guess we looked like the first-timers that we were. Love Vietnamese cuisine and this is a different take on it as if we were guests in someone's home. Absolutely delicious. Fantastic pork and artistic shrimp. Perfect vermicelli. As others have said it's a very nice, clean environment. The way our utensils were placed after our order was reminiscent of white tablecloth fine dining. The reviews that suggest any form of 'rudeness' have never dined in a small and efficient Asian restaurant before. The table next to us basically said 'we'll have the usual' and nothing more to get fed as they must often do. How cool is that? Go and enjoy. We plan to again and again. read more

The pho and dumplings are the best! We ordered take out for lunch and it was awesome!

Place is absolutely disgusting. Found a bug in my pho and she still charged me anyway. Wouldn't recommend this to my worst enemy. Much better Vietnamese food in Chattanooga. read more

Noodles & Pho - Bug - Vietnamese Near Me - Hixson, Tennessee

Really great pho based on what's available in the area and we regularly stop in when we're in town. But our nickname for this place is, "Angry Pho," given the short fuse and general, "I'm having a bad day," vibes we get from the owner. (But it's not personal and the food is still great, as other Yelpers attest). So the path to yummy noodles means dealing with terse responses, side scowls and general annoyance, especially if you want to alter stock menu items (and not even by much, like 'add meatballs' ). A good hint for predicting the mood of the place is how many tables need bussing and if the owner themselves are the ones doing the bussing. One table means calm-ish and civil. Anything more than three un-bussed tables means hold on to your hat. We have technically seen the owner smile three times (no tables needed to be bussed and it was pre mealtime rush in those cases). We have only witnessed one all out shouting match between the owner and the kitchen (nearly every table in the small restaurant was un-bussed, so our highly scientific theory holds.) So if you can stomach the mood and walk in psychologically prepared, you will be rewarded by tasty delicious pho with their savory broths and fresh, delicate meats. Otherwise, get the goodness to go and eat at home (and only face the owner's wrathful disdain during the short period of time that you need to place an order). Or, you could not crave pho and just grab Mexican next door instead. But the food is pretty solid, truly. You can't (locally) beat any of the beef broth pho. It's hearty and zesty and will hit the spot. Another favorite of ours is the pork chop rice, which is grilled in their special sauce (of anger and vengeance...I kid, I kid) and pairs wonderfully with a mouthful of white rice. Enjoy and happy slurping! Think positive! read more

Noodles & Pho has the best, authentic tasting, and delicious pho in the Chattanooga area that I've tried. Which is most of them. You can tell the broth is prepared properly because there's very minimal amounts of oil floating on top so they are diligent about scooping out the foam while it cooks over night. I always get Pho Tai, the rare beef option, and don't waste a drop. Fresh bean sprouts and cilantro every time. It's got a homey feel and the older couple that runs it are nice and accommodating. I won't go anywhere else for pho. They have many other Vietnamese cuisine options. What you would expect a Vietnamese restaurant to have but I've never had anything other than the pho. It's too hard not to get.Beef Pho Noodle SoupBeef Pho Noodle Soup read more

Noodles & Pho - Pho tai - Vietnamese Near Me - Hixson, Tennessee

Moved from the DC area expecting Chattanooga would not have Pho but this is a different food city than when I lived here many years ago. Noodles &Pho is in one of the many little shopping centers on Hwy 153 in Hixson. I couldn't find it at first but now I know where it is I will be back. The pho was great. Everyone raves about the rare pho here but I get the well done. The broth is excellent. I was happily surprised. Although that is my fave, I'm looking forward to trying some of the other things on the menu. Nice ambience good service. read more

Myfirst week in Tennessee. Last time coming here. Woman working the front was super rude. Unwelcoming. We ordered 2 veggie pho. all that was in it was tofu and bok choy. my daughter asked for chop sticks and the woman begrudgingly gave her some but took her fork away. My daughter is 9 and wanted both fork and chop stick. I ask the woman to please bring us a fork. she comes back with a fork and tries to give my daughter a hard time and take her chopsticks away overpriced af for what you get. no jalapeño or basil with the toppings. read more

Noodles &Pho is my #1 spot for Pho ( see my #2 spot - Chopstix- review). It's Friday, so went to the bank at lunch and picked up these goodies! The chicken Pho broth is so balanced and delicious. You will notice how clear the broth looks compared to my other review of Chopstix pho which has a more prominent anise flavor and the broth is murkier. Both are great, but this one is better. One note, I added my own jalapeno, for some reason it is not included at Noodles & Pho) The Summer Rolls come three to an order compared to Chopstix's 2 rolls, but again, it comes down to balance. These rolls have a balance of noodles, shrimp, and pork. Even though Chopstix's rolls are larger, there is way too much noodle, so various bites are just noodle. I also prefer Noodles & Pho's dipping sauce. Although I did get my order to go, I do know when dinning in, the service can be very slow. It's a one woman show here - and don't expect smiles a banter. She is no nonsense - get to the point kind of gal. Don't let her abrupt manner put you off, it is just her personality - besides, you are going for the great Pho! read more

Noodles & Pho - Number 39 (pork and rice) and number 15 (brisket pho) - Vietnamese Near Me - Hixson, Tennessee

Decent pho. Certainly not the best I've had but not worst either. There aren't many choices in the Chattanooga area so this is where we go (unless we are motivated enough to go to the base of Lookout Mountain to get better pho "the chef special" from Cafe & Toast). I've dined in about a handful of times and gotten take out about a dozen. The pho is consistent, as well as the owner's attitude. I feel like I need to follow protocol by ordering quickly and concisely, then politely stepping aside. It is a Seinfeld episode every time I'm in there. That actually makes me laugh a little on the inside (of course not out loud as I am sure to be quiet and make no further eye contact after putting in my order). I hear the fear in other patrons' voices as they quickly and over-politely put their orders in. Every once in awhile you'll see a clueless fool who walks in for the first time not knowing how to order, takes their time, slouches, and asks for water with extra ice or something ridiculously indulgent like that. I pity the fool. read more

Wonderful pho soup! Either the seafood or shrimp were our favorites. We look forward to returning. Very enjoyable.

This is the best pho I have had in the Chattanooga area. Living in an Asian community right outside of Atlanta where there is a 24 hour pho joint on every corner, the pho here is actually comparable. The broth was a little salty for my liking, but that was my only complaint. When you walk in, you are greeted by a small seating area, which is very clean and modern. I came around 11:30, but was the second customer for the day (they open at 11 am). There was a bell on the counter which I had to ring, then a lady came out and sat me. My food came out within 5 minutes of me waiting, and was piping hot. I ordered the pho tai, just like I always do. The broth might have been a little salty, but I am appreciative that it wasn't too oily. I'll definitely be back since I'm in the Chatt area for grad school :) read more

I got the seafood pho and the pork banh mi. First of all, the French roll for the banh mi was probably the best one I have ever had. SO SOFT but also crunchy. The meat was actually a sliced up pork chop. I've never had it that way. Different, but also delicious. The seafood pho was fresh and yummy as well. I could have used some more greens on the side, but that's a very minor gripe. There were bean sprouts, cilantro, and sliced limes. No basil :-( (which is my favorite part). In the soup, there were muscles, shrimp, and crab cakes. No calamari, which, again, would have been nice, but an extremely minor complaint. The service was decent. Only one waitress who I think is one of the owners. It did get pretty slow once they got busy, but she held her own. All in all, great Vietnamese food! read more

The food is really great. Everyone saying the owner is rude needs to calm down lol. She's all business, which is fine. I say her attitude is more NYC than what people here in the south are used to. The food is good which is what's important, I don't need service where the waitstaff feels the need to be fake nice like everywhere else. If you want good food come here, if you want a waitress that's going to pretend to like you so you'll give a good tip, go anywhere else. read more

Consistently good food and they always remember what we order! We stop in whenever we are in the neighborhood.

This is probably my favorite place in Chattanooga . No frills service and decor. I kind of love that the owner doesn't pretend your going to be best friends! Tthe food is freshly cooked, healthy and deliciously seasoned. I always get grilled shrimp and rice it is a great deal: huge portion of rice, salad, soup, shrimp. Simply delicious. read more

Sadly at 8 pm on Thursday, the restaurant was closed and locked. The lighted sign said open. Disappointing....

Good things come to those who wait. A unique eating experience and the food is freshly prepared.

It will include soup and a salad. You can even choose an import with your meal. read more

Ok. I have NO IDEA where some of these HORRID REVIEWS are coming from!!! This place is a GEM! And HUGELY AUTHENTIC Vietnamese food! I have travelled extensively throughout SEAsia & this place is AWESOME! It's a cute little Pho cafe in a strip mall at Rte 153 & Northpoint Blvd. (Loom for the McDonalds & Lowes). It's located next to Dollar Tree & Hobby Lobby in the strip mall. The place is nicely appointed with new furniture & decor. There are laminate tables & chairs peppered throughout the dining area. The authentic French cafe music is piped in softly over the intercom. There is great soft lighting. The floors are new fabricated hardwood. It has a spa almost atmosphere to it. The dining area & bathrooms are EXCEEDINGLY CLEAN. I was greeted immediately by a lovely older lady. She showed me to a table & brought water & a menu immediately. I scanned the menu to look at their selection but settled on an appetizer of spring rolls & a bowl of Rare Beef Pho. A young girl took my order & was very kind, polite & courteous. The woman brought out a small dish of pho accoutrements: bean sprouts, basil, cilantro, lime wedges, jalapeño slices. All if it was extremely fresh!!! The spring rolls arrived & they looked & smelled fabulous. They wonton skin was bubbled from the wok frying. They were hot & delicious. I sprinkled a touch of fish sauce & some siracha nibbled away! The pho came out steaming in a generous sized bowl with a lovely fragrance of beef broth & spring onions. I picked off the cilantro & basil & added them for flavor. I dipped into the soup, and it was sublime. The broth was lightly flavorful & the meat was plentiful & fresh. The noodles were perfectly cooked. I am so sorry about those other reviews bc clearly these people are either having a bad day, are just mean people or don't have a clue about Vietnamese cuisine. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! THIS PLACE IS FABULOUS! GO & ENJOY! : ) read more

Best Pho in the Chattanooga area, we eat here at least once a week. The service is prompt and our orders are always accurate.

Good place for some authentic or pretty close to authentic Vietnamese food. Not too many options around these areas but it wasn't bad. I got the bun dac biet, the noodles was cook good and they give you a good potion of meats. The veggies aren't the freshest but it's not bad. I also got a side order of banh uot. That was ok, it was frozen that was heated up, which is normal if you eat it at home but the banh was a bit hard. The Cha was good, cant really go wrong with cha, it's all premise. And again the veggies wasn't fresh. All and all it has good food for where I'm at. I'd recommend it. read more

On the hunt for a new place to try Pho; found this through Yelp and gave it a go. Parking is easy with a huge lot in the strip mall. Came during lunch on a Friday and the crowd was light and service was efficient. I ordered a veggie Pho, the broth was tasty and the veggies were fresh and delicious. There was a side of some spicey...spice which wasn't overpowering or too hot and added nicely to the flavor. Food is the star as the decor is basic, the place is clean, and there were pretty good music playing as well. The price was reasonable (around $9 with tax) and I had water to drink. Try this out. It was a great flavorful experience. read more

Small disclaimer. I've only ever had pho from this place and one other restaurant so my experience is limited. However, I keep coming back and back to Noodles & Pho because why mess with a good thing. Service can be slow at times so do not come if you are in a rush but the food is completely worth it.

Food is excellent, everything else is very third-world. They pay no attention to advertised hours, and open when the notion strikes them. Absolutely no concept of service, they plop your food down and they are finished with you until they take your money.

I used the Yelp reviews to find the best pho in Chattanooga, and Yelp did not disappoint! I am working to become an expert in pho and fortunately live in an area with a great international food scene (Atlanta). The pho at Noodles & Pho in Chattanooga is FABULOUS. But let me add a disclaimer: Do NOT come here for friendly service; come only for delicious food. I actually had to pull up Yelp while there to read reviews of the service to make sure that it was not just ME that the waitress/hostess hated ; ) Yes her attitude is not welcoming AT ALL, nor did she take well to the compliments that I attempted to share with her at the deliciousness of the pho; however, the pho is worth it. We just won't be best friends ; ) This was my sister's first adventure with pho, and I was thrilled that this was so good. Interesting that they do not serve it with jalapeno or basil, but they do give the goodies of lime, bean sprouts and cilantro. We got the brisket and rare beef (number 15, I think), and they only offer one size, which is perfect for lunch. We also shared the spring rolls, which were yummy. We made a special trip to Noodles & Pho, and we will definitely be back. I highly recommend their delicious pho!!!!!! read more

Noodles & Pho - Pho, goodies to jazz it up, and spring rolls - Vietnamese Near Me - Hixson, Tennessee

A small but well decorated storefront in a shopping plaza, there were only 3 other tables seated when I arrived fairly late. However, there was a bit of a wait until the hostess showed up to seat me. No other way to put it....she was surly. No greeting, just "how many?" and pointed to my table. I almost laughed out loud when she brought the menu and I looked at the title... "Warm Welcome to Noodles and Pho!". Anything but. She curtly took my order for #15, rare beef and brisket Pho Bo. The order was hot, with just the right amount of broth, noodles, and a very generous portion of beef. She brought the side dish of bean sprouts, but the customary jalapenos were missing, and there was mostly parsley with a scant amount of Thai Basil to season the broth. But....even with that, this was some really good pho. I thought of asking for more basil but decided I didn't want to be barked at again. I would recommend this place for takeout, as the pho is worth it, but I wouldn't eat here if this is their normal "warm" service....on the other hand, she may have just been having a bad night, who knows? read more

While the food has been tasty, the service suffers. Unreliable hours. Have tried to go multiple times and they are not open as stated on their store hours. Very confusing. Always only one server, lacking in the friendly department. read more

Ordered summer rolls and rare steak and brisket pho with a Vietnamese iced coffee. Summer rolls were some of the best I've ever had. Peanut sauce came with chili sauce in it, which was great because I usually add it in. Pho was tasty, but there wasn't as much meat or noodles as I'm used to. Vietnamese iced coffee was also very good. I would suggest getting there well before closing time. Restaurant closes at 9, but we were still eating at 8:30 when the waitress turned the sign in the window to closed. read more
