Pho #1 - Beef pho small . - Vietnamese Near Me - Fresno, California

Best lemon grass chicken in Fresno! I don't think I've had a more flavorful dish and I've tried different lemon grass chicken dishes in town. I never take pics because as soon as I get it I scarf it down lol Also tried the beef stew that came with hot baguette for dipping. So good and flavorful. I also enjoy the spring rolls and egg rolls too. Not a big pho person so I haven't tried that but it looks pretty good and most people order that here. read more

Two charging stops into our Los Angeles to Oakhurst (Yosemite) road trip, we came to the realization that we were not making it into Oakhurst for dinner before the restaurants in the city closed and our dinner plans were in the hands of his Tesla's map search function and we came across this place. In a plaza with three other Pho restaurants, this one managed to have reviews significantly above the other two, so we decided to give it a try. Ordered two of the standard #1 Phos and Spring Rolls. Large and generous portions at very reasonable prices. The bowls were loaded with meat and of a quality a step above even some Los Angeles places I've been to. The brisket was especially great. Spring rolls were fresh and warm. Definitely worth giving a shot if you're ever in the area. read more

What it lacks in ambience, it more than makes up for in authentic pho! Don't skip this place just because of its strip mall location with bars on the windows - it's got good food and good people. This is the only place I eat pho in Fresno - huge portions and ample fresh basil. read more

super great customer service and nice people. I was skeptical about the previous reviews but I wasn't over charged or anything like what I've seen. Clean place and the food was amazing. Currently pregnant and this is will be my new obsession. Friend got the chicken noodle pho and that was delicious. Eggrols were fire too! I would 100% go again. read more

Pho #1 - Forgot the name but it was all well done beef pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Fresno, California

good size portion for reasonable prices. the pho was flavorful but I can tell the rice noodles still had a starchy taste to them. I wish they had a spicier chili oil but overall it was pretty good, especially because they give you large portions and don't skimp on the meat. I asked for my rare steak on the side and they forgot but it still tasted fresh. service was nice, they forgot our spring rolls too but was apologetic about it. we were pretty full off pho so it wasn't a problem. dining area looks like it could be my grandmas house lol yes it could use some updating and better a/c but most of the best places for food are always a little run-down lol read more

My husband and I really enjoy this pho spot. Don't be fooled by the looks because the food tastes delicious and pretty consistent. I decided to try the bun bo hue and let me tell you... I've been looking for a good bun bo hue in fresno. A tad bit oily but so flavorful! The pho broth is good too. They're very generous with the meats and the portions are bigger than average. I have not tried any of their rice dishes so I can't speak for those but I often see other people order it. read more

Pho #1 - Vietnamese Near Me - Fresno, California

This place was empty during lunch time. The waitress didn't know the menu that well. I gave her my orders, which was only a large pho and a Pepsi. My sister and her daughter got their pho first. I was waiting for my pho and finally ask one of the guy about my food. He told me there was no order for another pho. The guy was nice and told me it will take 5 minutes. I went to tell the owner of this restaurant to cancel my order and I'll just have some from my sister. I ask for a bowl. I saw him went back and grab a dirty bowl from the sink. I saw him rinse it without washing the bowl with soap. He handed me the dirty bowl that was still wet. I confronted him that I saw him. I told him that I don't want the bowl no more. He went back to the kitchen and grab a new bowl and told me "it's good." At this point I don't care if "it's good." I wonder if they even wash the dishes before serving it to their customer. My sister and her daughter lost her appetite and we left. I will NEVER COME BACK TO THIS RESTAURANT. read more

I really enjoy the energy here! Good pho and fresh summer rolls. I'd like to come back earlier in the day to grab a bahn mi and Vietnamese coffee. read more

4/14/23 Getting lunch! Two chicken Pho, shrimp spring rolls with an extra peanut sauce ordered. The worker was a little difficult in getting the order, but hoping it's right. He even hung up right up after taking the order without getting a name or giving a time when it would be ready. Strange. Fingers crossed! I went in to get it. FYI! Cash only and he didn't say so, but of course they have an ATM in there where they take another deduction. Not right. The restaurant is large. Open. Clean and safe. They have a picture of Marilyn Monroe on the wall and that was different. The last thing I'd expect to see in a Vietnamese restaurant. Oh well! Lunchtime! I got it ready. They didn't include an extra peanut sauce like asked. =( Luckily, the chicken pho was pretty good! They include hot sauce to spice it up and make it better. Good amount of chicken, fresh jalapeños and sprouts. Really good how it is easily set up to put it all together separately. The shrimp spring rolls were small from what I've had before, but still good. Only 2 little shrimp in each roll. Really good peanut sauce. That is separated as well from the nuts. You add them to the sauce. Hot sauce included there too. Mother said hers was good. She said it tasted fresh and she liked the spring roll too. Said it was small, but good. The small chicken pho is a plenty amount for 1 person too. Wished the experience was better, but the food was good. Earned an extra star. read more

Absolutely delicious pho and fantastic service. Great portions for the price and clean restaurant. Definitely my favorite in town.

My husband and I ordered from this place for the first time. We ordered vegetarian spring rolls and a vegetarian pho. I'm not sure why yelp and google say they have many vegetarian options. They do not. The vegetarian pho came with beef broth and the veggie spring rolls were just lettuce and noodles wrapped in the rice paper wrapper. When we called back to ask for a vegetarian broth they said they only had chicken or beef. I spoke with a young woman over the phone and a male manager. The young woman really did her best to try and apologize and offer a refund. The manager was rude. I had to drive back down to the location to get my refund because they have no other way to process one other than cash or Zelle. At least I got my money back but we won't be going back there again. read more

Passing through on my way to Yosemite and wanted some phö so I looked for a place that looked like they did it right. Im from Stockton so I usually ate homemade phö growing up and get really picky with restaurants and, Im telling you, they do it right. The broth was a little potent but that's classic homemade flavor. They were very kind and whoever says anything about the service is crazy. The service is literally the best service I've ever had at a Viet place. Ever, ever, ever. If you are in Fresno and want phö, this place is literally #1! Its right in the name! Will be my go-to spot when I pass through from now on read more

Pho #1 - Vietnamese Near Me - Fresno, California

While we enjoyed our food here, the service and atmosphere wasn't that great. Most pho restaurants bring out their pho within 5 minutes, no matter how busy it is. This place took a good 20-30 minutes to do so. The place definitely is outdated and dirty and so hot inside. Fresno is normally a very hot city but man, having no A/C inside was torture. Prices were much cheaper than socal pho restaurants though. It's not a bad pho restaurant but I think I've had better. read more

Pho #1 - Vietnamese Near Me - Fresno, California

Incredible pho at incredible price. We ordered pho #00 and #01. There was some confusion when we arrived to pick up to-go, when the restaurant appeared to be closed. But the phone number and menu are actually associated with the restaurant next door, Pho 75#2 although the yelp listing is Pho #1. Sketchy.. Anyhow, the food was amazing. Honestly I could barely finish and the soup was incredible. read more

OMG came here only cause bambu next door is close. The service is so bad. The food came out all wrong. The pho is bad can not even eat it and the vermicelli well the picture say it all. When question about the wrong food that came out, the young kid say, " I don't know" with attitude and walk away. WILL NEVER EVER GO BACK THERE. FIRST AND LAST. read more

Pho #1 - a plate of noodles and meat - Vietnamese Near Me - Fresno, California

I've been here 3 times, and all 3 times the lady that works at 8am on the weekends, over charges me $10 everytime. I've tipped her but she feels entitle to steal from me. I took notice to see if she did the last time and sure enough she did. Did not give me a reciept when asked. Fresno county and city needs to check on her and this shady vietnamese pho place. I'm a business owner and what she is doing is wrong. Went through the review and found the thief. photo below, she will overcharge and give shitty service. read more

I went in today to get an order an this place was freezing. I don't don't it it is up to code on that level. They had heating fans but did not turn them on and it was as cold as a freezer! I placed my order and asked for an extra n container and they lady was so greedy toon they one I didn't need and just gave me one. They lady is extremely rude and no customer service what so ever! Not going to Lie the food is a 5 start but service and just being inside to eat is a 2 star. read more

Dinner time- Group of seven people. Pho bowls were good. We just wished the noodles were a little softer. Also tried the beef stew soup with French bread. Very good! The broth was tasty, and the bread was warm and fresh. Will order this dish again! Egg-rolls were ok. Service was just okay as well. No one ever came to check on us or to refill our drinks. A big negative: it was sooo cold but there seemed to be no heater on in there! Warning: cash only. read more

Best pho place in Fresno. I go there very often and it's just delicious all the time. Only bad thing is they don't take card

Pho #1 - Rudest server ever in a pho restaurant I have encountered!! - Vietnamese Near Me - Fresno, California

Freakin BOmB. The second you walk in the aroma hits you. Fresh Basil, broth, and the hustle and bustle of the plates chattering sweep you right in. CASH ONLY. But if you have been to their neighbors, you're willing to fork up the $3 atm surcharge to get the cash. Pho #1 is Grade A. Broth is sooo perfect and tasty. They practically gave me an entire basil plant to use as garnish. My lil sis literally was the happiest one. read more

Pho #1 - Vietnamese Near Me - Fresno, California

We have been coming to this restaurant for more than 5 years. My daughter and I always order the #21 Chicken Pho. The last 3 times (in 2 months) we were there our "Chicken Pho " was in fact TURKEY! It doesn't taste anything like the chicken. This happened around this time last year too. I'm my personal opinion they are stocking up on Turkey's during the thanksgiving season when turkey is as low as 29 cents a pound and trying to pass it off as chicken. We are very discouraged about going back. We both had stomach aches as soon as we left and had to race home. read more

So much food! I got the large combo as I was recommended to try that, wasn't too crazy about the seafood in the pho as personally I prefer beef pho, but the fatty brisket was so good and the broth was decent. Will come back for the beef pho next time :) read more

Zero stars needs to be an option. Terrible customer service. Their hours say they close at 11, we ordered take out at 10:15; they got angry and said they wanted us there by 10:30 for pick up and we said we could get there by 10:40. We get there a little before 10:40 and they refuse to unlock their door even though they see us knocking at it. I call twice and they refuse to pick up their phones at all. Maybe I thought they had good food before, but I'll take my money to somewhere else that shows decency to it's customers. read more

I love this pho restaurant. The broth is always on point, inexpensive, and they give you a lot of meat! I find that over the years, restaurants give out less protein but this place is different. They always hook it up. read more

I have probably ordered from here over 100+ times in over the past 12 years or so. I'm saddened that it took me this long to leave a great review. I always order pho from this place with the #00, #1, and #2. My opinion is that this is the best pho place in Fresno and the best pho place in the United States of all the pho restaurants I've tried before. Why you ask? I'm glad you asked. 1) Taste: Their pho broth taste has been the most consistent great taste in the past 12 years that I've tried pho. And I've tried many pho place around the world like South Korea, Cambodia, Thailand, Vancouver, all over the United States and so on. Whenever I try some pho, I usually go to that same restaurant at least 3 times, just to make sure the broth taste is good AND consistent. So far, there has only been a handful of pho restaurants that are consistent that I've tried, and even fewer that are good AND consistent. There are some pho that just consistently suck. Not Pho #1 though. 2) Price: Their pho prices are lower than competitors. An X-Large bowl of pho is set at $7.75 while others like Huang Lan is set at $8.50 on Large. Their #00 is XX-Large is at $10.25 and is MASSIVE. My stomach feels like it's going to explode so I have the option of saving the broth and boiling new pho noodles for later. This restaurant seldom raise their prices. And it's been cheap and good against its competitors. 3) Place/Cleanliness: The place is pretty much the same as many other pho restaurants. It had been remodeled a couple years ago and the bathroom is clean enough without feeling disgusted. Walls have been painted and many of the artwork in the restaurant used to have Vietnamese art style but has been changed to more western art. No opinions there but it seemed to have improved the presence and customer-friendliness towards more Western or Non-Asian customers. Better than half the pho restaurants I know. There is definitely areas that it can still improve on but overall it's good. 4) Take-out vs Eat-in: This is probably the category that I've rarely seen reviewed on for pho places. As some pho-natics may know, there can be a difference in taste from eating in at the pho restaurant and take-out pho. Many times, eating in pho at the restaurant will taste much better for some reason. Overwhelming majority of the pho restaurants I have eaten, eating at the restaurant is much better than take-out and eating at home. BUT From my experience, almost half the time I eat from Pho #1 I order take-out and bring it home. They STILL LITERALLY TASTE THE SAME as way as you would eat in the restaurant. Period. MIND BLOWN! That's when you'll know that this Pho #1 really is #1! No sponsorship has been taken for this review. I approve this message. read more

Pho is fresh and hot. This is not your formal type of restaurant, but they will serve you a generous portion of delicious pho. The broth is so refreshing and the aroma of the soup is so nice. Family ordered bah mi sandwich and the BBQ sandwich was good, the combo sandwich didn't have as much ingredients as I do not recommend it. Egg rolls are small and not enough stuffing inside with a decent taste, although not the best egg roll I had. Service was ok... read more

Literally the worst. I ordered pho to go and 3 parties of people dining in that came in AFTER us who got their pho before we got our take out order. I walked up to the counter to ask for a refund but immediately was told "it's ready" but was about 7 minutes later when they finally walked back out with my food. The guy wouldn't even give me a chance to ask for a refund and walked away into the kitchen without a doubt to quickly make my order. It's literally just broth, noodles and a little bit of meat... Never coming back. Didn't even apologize for forgetting my order. read more

Great place to eat, very authentic food. Not the best decorated restaurant, as a natter of fact you feel like you are in Vietnam. But everything a side, food is great, did not get 5 stars because the tables were not cleaned well. read more

CASH ONLY. ATM on premise. Ordered small pho beef. Meat portions were very large. ***** STARS Broth was lacking flavor. **STARS Lots of noodles for a small. *****STARS Also ordered egg rolls.

If you expect clean, skip this place. If you want to pay with a credit card, skip this place. If you want chatty service, skip this place. If you want some of the best pho in town, come to this place. They are always busy. Their soup is not healthy. But, it has some of the best portion sizes and flavors in town. They are fast, they accurate, and the veggies are fresh. On a cold, rainy day, this stuff hits the spot. Their spring rolls are a nice choice for an app, and I love their BBQ pork banh mi sandwich. Crusty, fresh bread, awesome pork, just enough veggies. Not at all slathered with mayo or sauces. Great price for great pho. Yea, it could be cleaner. But, worth the risk for the food. read more
