It's a little hole in the wall in San Pedro and their pho is really good. The broth is good and the amount they give you for the price you pay is great. I always get the #15. I tried their spicy beef stew and it was different from what I'm used to and didn't really appreciate it. I also ordered a chicken plate and it comes with rice and a side salad. I prefer the pho over anything else I've ordered. The owners are nice and really kind. Never had issues coming here with the food or with the service. It's my go-to for pho in ABQ. read more

Some of the best Vietnamese and Asian inspired food in town. Disregard the location if you're having any qualms about a trip into the SE...it's safe. The food is outstanding, the decor is attractive and atmosphere is calming and welcoming. And the owner has always been very kind and pleasant. All in all, one of our favorite restaurants in town. read more

This is a very traditional and authentic Vietnamese spot! They have a large menu with lots of tasty Vietnamese dishes from rice dishes to pho. They're a big part of the Vietnamese community and I'd recommend them to others in the area! read more

We were back after a long hiatus. We had three main dishes, that came fresh and were particularly tasty. Even my beef loving adult child liked his chicken dish, and the fresh spring roles were excellent and gluten free. Prices did not seem to have increased, and remained an incredible deal. Few Vietnamese places are open on Sunday, and this is a great option on any day! We will be back and take pictures soon. read more

This place is freakin' amazing!!!! Literally one of my favorite places to share with my friends and family!! As well as when I'm having self-care date nights with myself!! I like their pho but I was extremely surprised with their fried rice!!! I literally cant ever make it the same!! I also love their spring rolls with fish sauce!! I recently moved away from Albuquerque but I miss it so much and will definitely be visiting when I return!! Ugh!! Hands down awesome!!! And the people who work there are also nice and always make sure that you have everything you need! read more

Service was fast and friendly, and restaurant nicely decorated at Christmastime. I did not care for the fresh summer rolls. They had too much noodle and a runny peanut sauce, whereas I prefer more meat and veggies with a thicker sauce for dipping. Also, something tasted off in the roll, but I couldn't place my finger on what it was. Pho was okay. Thin broth and plenty meat/vermicelli. Generous with accoutrements (fresh lime, basil, sprouts, jalapeño). Not too salty but on the saltier side. I don't think I'll be back. Nothing wrong but not a showstopper either. Looking for a go-to. read more

The shrimp salad appy was fantastic, beautifully layered and shredded with char grilled shrimp. Wow says I - can't wait for the next course. I think we ordered badly. We don't eat meat so most of the Pho was off limits. Pablo ordered Seafood Pho. I ordered Crispy noodles with seafood. Both were large portions and bland. As Pablo was adding some Hoisin into his broth the top fell off. I thought the owner might have taken it away and started again for him. She did not. We managed to clean it up and he said it was OK. My dish remained poor even with the home made chili sauce. It's a large cafe, ideal for family lunches as well as couples. Soothing music and waterfalls on the TV. The owners were very nice and attentive. $50 for food inc tip. read more

After two hours of immersing myself at the Albuquerque museum in old town, I decided to go to lunch. My stomach was rumbling so I decided to take an Uber to have lunch in a Vietnamese restaurant. I looked on Yelp to see what was around Albuquerque that was good. Having a 4.5 star average rating really helps as well. And so, I called the Uber and they got me here to Pho #1. Upon arrival, this Vietnamese restaurant seemed large enough to wear. It could accommodate maybe 50 people at one time. But just seems like it was one of those days where we just missed the lunch rush and that was a good thing. I arrived here around 1:30 PM and was seated almost immediately. The overall experience took about an hour from ordering to finishing up and paying for my meal. Only problem I could see was that the bowl that I had my beef noodle soup and was not as large as I thought it would have been. But it was delicious and definitely a great part of my Tuesday election day 2024 lunch. I ordered the combination Pho along with summer rolls on the side. Everything was delicious and wow, the broth was above average. It was flavorful and definitely hit the spot. I enjoy it very much and hope I could come back here through my next travel opportunity. If you ever had delicious Vietnamese food, this might be your opportunity to try one of the best in Albuquerque. Now I know why 4 1/2 stars is asset to this restaurant. It's so good. I will definitely recommend it if you're in the area and want to try something different or have your Vietnamese fixed for the day. I know I had mine here in Albuquerque. The overall experience here at Pho #1 Vietnamese restaurant in Albuquerque, New Mexico has been quite interesting and typical at the same time. I enjoyed myself here, especially when I needed the downtime from all the fun I had with my friend at breakfast and then the museum prior to having lunch here at Pho #1. The service here was friendly and quick, as far as restaurants go. I think I got my order within 15 minutes., Which was quick in my view. The restaurant itself was clean and quite large for a Vietnamese restaurant. The menu was limited, but it had is plastic dishes and options. I wonder why I don't get the rice plates but go directly for the beef noodle soup. That's the question that I ask myself time and time again, but the Pho is always a great option anytime anywhere. For the most part, though, it was well needed and definitely hit the spot when traveling can get the best of you, it is great to have some simple Vietnamese cuisine to keep everything good and peaceful. They do have restroom, facilities here too, which is, fabulous. Not sure if they have public Wi-Fi or not, but it didn't matter. Not sure if they had air-conditioning either, but it was comfortable. Weather outside was cold enough to bother. With that said, if you're hitting up the Albuquerque area, I need some delicious Vietnamese cuisine, consider this one as your first choice. You'll be glad you did. Pho #1 Vietnamese restaurant is located at 414 San Pedro Drive in beautiful Albuquerque, New Mexico. They accept major credit cards as well as cash. They are about 15 minutes east of old town District. As far as parking goes, your best bet will be to have parking spots next to the restaurant or find available street parking outside the restaurant. If you like me, I came here through Uber and got picked up after my meal by my local Albuquerque friend after she voted in the presidential election 2024. Not sure if Albuquerque's public transportation system has rules that come through in this area or near it, so best bet would be to look online to make sure that it does work at least come goes to it, so you can enjoy top quality Vietnamese cuisine in the heart of Albuquerque, New Mexico. And all was good though, it gave me a reason to enjoy life more by having Vietnamese food here in Albuquerque. As mentioned before, if you're here in Albuquerque, best bet is to get here early to get it in on the awesomeness. You won't regret it. 4.5 stars or the overall experience. 3.0 stars for the prices. 4.5 stars for the ambience. 4.5 stars for the food and the service. Support local! B+ read more

Bright, clean, big screen tv showing mountains and beaches in Nam. Owner/servers attentive but not intrusive. We had wonton soup and spicy shrimp with mushrooms. To drink, we had a fruit lassi and lemonade soda. More than enough food at excellent prices. And the baby in the corner was a cooing delight. read more

Visited here Friday, August 26, 2022, with a co-worker. The owner that sat us down and told us they had to put up curtains during Covid. The cables were still hanging on the ceiling. Only a few other people occupied the restaurant. She took our order quickly. Four spring rolls and beef Pho. The Spring rolls were light and served with peanut sauce. A giant shrimp nestled inside the roll and tasted very fresh. My Pho came out steaming with tomatoes, green onions, generous portions of beef, and the broth and noodles had real flavor. She gave me fresh bean sprouts, and jalapenos which I piled on top of that wonderful Pho. This restaurant had a wonderful rendition of Pho and the appetizer tasted fresh. Visit here for a nice lunch Pho experience! read more

Coming from San Jose, CA, this place would be a 2 star place, but for New Mexico standards, I'd say this is a 4. Therefore, 3 stars it is! We got their grape leaf wrapped beef which was delicious. It was juicy, and the fish sauce leaned on the spicy and salty side rather than sweet which is more authentic! My friend enjoyed her spicy beef pho which had a great broth. I was a bit disappointed with my noodle soup (got half egg half rice noodles) with pork, shrimp, and other seafood. The broth was good, but the rice noodles are not supposed to be pho noodles. They should be rice stick wide flat noodles. In addition, the seafood was minimal and there were imitation crab sticks which is not authentic. Fine place to eat in the area, just not my favorite. The grape leaf wrapped beef saved the dinner for me! read more

Ordered the rare beef pho. Stock was lukewarm at best so beef took a while to cook. Flavor profile was okay.

My son, who had the beef combo pho, said it was easily five stars. He IS 11, though, and averse to most cuisine not genetically related to hamburgers with no onion or tomato, so credit that as you will. I thought it was good, though I was a bit disappointed there was no garlic chili sauce or soy sauce at the table. And by the time the server returned, it wasn't really worth requesting anymore. There is hoisin and Sriracha table-side at least. The veggie noodle soup was surprisingly rife with the GOOD veggies though! Not all onion and Bok Choy and peppers, but rather plenty of tofu, broccoli and chunky mushrooms and baby corn too! I would've rather had egg noodles than rice, but the soup menu options, for veggie at least, seemed sparse. The veggie spring rolls were Top Notch though! It was nice to try some place new, but I think I'll probably stick with Vietnam 2000. You know, that sketchy looking dive down the street that's part emissions testing/part pho place? It's awesome! read more

So good, so fresh and tasty... the spring rolls are awesome (I love the pork & shrimp rolls) and the rare state pho is a go to we brought our toddler for the first time and they were so considerate about bringing the appropriate cutlery and a small bowl for him.... Doesn't seem like a big deal but I really appreciate when a restaurant has great service and is considerate of little ones too the only reason we do not come more frequently is because we don't live that close. Overall, fantastic. read more

Great service. Looks like a family owned restaurant. They're funny because they use the clear plastic shower curtains to somewhat divide tables/parties up. Got their lemongrass beef noodle soup. Good noodles. The broth was underwhelming. Not much flavor or aroma of spices. I didn't even want to try their pho. I don't think I'll come back - better alternatives in the area. read more

Pho #1 is The Best. The Best. The food is Excellent, healthy, even healing. I always feel better after enjoying a bowl of vegetable pho. The service is beyond reproach. Always. The restaurant is sparkling clean, pleasant, and relaxing. I hope they stay there for a very long time to come. Thank you. read more

They are very friendly and welcoming & their pho is so good and they have a variety of options on their menu!

Pretty decent place visiting from out of town. Came here with business partner as we wanted something warm. Got the fried squid and summer rolls to start they didn't give enough fish sauce but good flavor on the rolls but squid tasted and smelled fishy. The pho I got the meat tasted old as well. Flavors are good just not very fresh. read more

This little hole in the wall was absolutely delicious! My best friend and I went for lunch and I was impressed. Our appetizer was the egg rolls which were crispy and made to order. This is some of the best noodle soup I've had in Albuquerque. I got the Bbq pork and wonton noodle soup which had chicken broth and topping like lettuce and herbs. I added some chili in too. How did the Bbq pork stay crispy in the broth?! I don't know but I was impressed. My best friend opted for a jasmine rice plate with Bbq pork and shrimp...and she loved it! My only complaint was the restaurant was super quiet but that's because people were eating and not talking! Which proves that the place is the real deal. I'll definitely be back soon to try more. read more

As authentic as pho gets around here, Pho #1 really lives up to its name. You can tell the broth is homemade because the broth is so savory seasoned very well. It's not watered down and doesn't leave you thirsty at the end (if you are thirsty after drinking the broth, it means there's most likely MSG added). I love this place and it really feels homey and inviting. The owners are Vietnamese and put their love of pho into their soups. I'm originally from LA and I can confidently say that Pho #1 can totally compete with some of the best pho places in LA. A must try if you visit Albuquerque! read more

Service was absolutely top notch here and was what made it shine. The woman who served us was quick, kind, and absolutely grateful. She was very on top of it! We all had pho, and it was great. It was flavorful and the needed very little, if any, extra sauces. I also got the spring rolls which were very good. Someone else got the salted lemonade and it was highly recommended. Finally, the tea was so good! Highly recommend. read more

We got 2 orders of the pho with rare beef and brisket and 1 order of the vermicelli with shrimp, barbeque pork, and egg roll. The pho had a generous portion of meat and the brisket was flavorful. I only wish the broth had a stronger beef flavor. As for the vermicelli, the portion size was excellent and the egg roll was great. Slightly charred edges on the pork though. The server was very polite and attentive. Give this place a try, you won't be disappointed! read more

Great little Vietnamese place in small strip mall near expo. Rolls are in smaller and bite sized which allows for ordering two types of rolls. Pho comes on three sizes and large is middle size and just right if you order rolls. read more

Service was great. The lady (maybe owner) who took our order kept saying "thank you" after every order and every time she dropped something off at our table. Funny, but polite. The Combination Pho was pretty darn good. I'd say comparable to the many great Pho places in Los Angeles (I'm visiting from Los Angeles). Saw some reviews where they said the broth was bland, I didn't think so. The broth tasted authentic and flavorful. The Spring Rolls were decent. The peanut sauce was also good. I'd come back if I was in the area again. read more
