I had been here once years ago and remember really liking it. I decided to come back before catching an IMAX movie at the Regal nearby. It was empty when we arrived so we were seated immediately. The music was very relaxing and felt like a spa. It took a while to get a server's attention, but when we placed our P5. Phở Tái Nam order (my best friend and I ordered the same thing), they came out pretty quickly. I am not sure what went wrong, but it felt like my noodles weren't fully cooked and the broth wasn't hot enough to cook it all. The flavor of the broth was also a little too perfumy for me and a bit off. More people came as we dined so it took a while to get the check, but we accounted enough time and weren't worried. read more

Pho 1 Grill - P5. Phở Tái Nam - Vietnamese Near Me - Henrico, Virginia

Go here for the pho. Seriously. All the broths are different and just absolutely delicious. The Thai appetizers, however, are a swing and a miss. Even the Thai sauces were...wrong. Also, their hoisin sauce was a cheap offbrand and fish sauce/vinegar dipping sauce was way too sweet. I don't understand why they bothered to add the Thai stuff at all...their extensive Vietnamese menu includes much, much more than the usual pho and bahn mi choices and it is all very very good ( we brought a large group, so we all got to taste a wide variety of dishes). Our water glasses were refilled a couple times, and all staff were friendly and helpful. Can't wait to try the take-home flan we ordered! read more

Pho 1 Grill - Get you some soup. There are no bad soup choices here!!! - Vietnamese Near Me - Henrico, Virginia

Stumbled upon this place since they open a little later than other pho restaurants. We were seated very quickly and our food was brought out pretty fast after we ordered. We got two Combination Phos and one Seafood Pho. The broth was very tasty and not too oily/greasy. They gave a lot of garnishes on the side which I loved. The soup portions were a bit small for the price but overall, still good. A nice, chill, and cozy spot if you're looking for some Vietnamese food in the area! read more

Pho 1 Grill - Pho Dac Biet & Seafood Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Henrico, Virginia

Came in for a work lunch meeting one weekday... They were pretty busy, but there was no delay in greeting us seated. Service was very friendly and helpful. Their menu is typical Viet/Pho. Opted for crispy veggie spring rolls to start - they were excellent! Perfect texture and great flavor! The dip that came with them was awesome! I'm not into peanutty sauces, nor hoison and this was a sort os soy sauce type thickened sauce with nice flavor. On to the entrée - I got chicken pho - Again, great! The accoutrement that came with it was "ok" not as fresh as I'd like, but still worked for my needs. But the broth was so very tasty! The chicken was decent as well. Definitely would come back here... it was pretty good! read more

Year later review. The food is still quite good. I just had two small issues. One is the tables felt a bit sticky. The other one is they charge a 3% credit fee onto the bill. If anything have it where they take 3% off if you pay with cash. But besides that , I really enjoyed the combination vermicelli combo noodle bowl with bunch of meats. The beef and shrimp were seasoned well and the fish sauce was also really good. Food(50%): 8.0 Staff/service(25%): 6.0 Value(25%): 5.0 Overall: 6.8/10 read more

Pho 1 is good - not great. The broth was not hearty. It had a beefy flavor as if made with broth instead of stock. Service was fast but not attentive and left empty appetizers plates on the crowded table. The atmosphere is casual. It is worth stopping in but not worth a special trip. read more

Wow--this meal was amazing! I'm visiting the area for a conference and staying at the Hilton. Pho 1 Grill was just a short walk away and I was pretty hungry after a full day so I placed an order online and headed right over. My food was ready for me as soon as I arrived and they made my taro bubble tea smoothie when I got there. I briefly chatted with one of the very friendly employees while my smoothie was being made. When I got back I dug into my meal. The shrimp goi cuon (summer rolls) were perfect and I love that the online ordering let me easily sub for fish sauce. I also ordered the vermicelli noodles with chicken and that seriously hit the spot! The chicken was marinated and grilled perfectly, the veggies were super fresh, and it was just the right portion. My bubble tea smoothie was great too. Highly recomend for visitors to the area. read more

We went on a Saturday afternoon and the restaurant wasn't too busy. We started with a Vietnamese iced coffee and honeydew bubble tea smoothie. Both were good although the bubbles didn't seem fresh. We also got an order of pork cha gio which were fried perfectly. The roll size is a bit inconsistent as you can see in the photo. We both got an order of pho tai. The broth was great and was served super hot. Overall the food and drinks were pretty good. The staff accommodated all our requests. We would go back if we're ever craving pho while we're in Short Pump. read more

My table was a bit sticky. I thought the service was fine, and the prices were okay. The ambiance is more casual sit down but the food came quickly. Their spring roll was noticeably different than the usual Thai spring roll (which it should be considering it is advertised as a Vietnamese roll). I would like to have seen a fresh option, rather than only fried. I had a tofu ban mi which was fine, but a bit small. read more

We ordered Pho and a sampler appetizer. The Pho broth left much to be desired as it was too sweet and bland. The meat portion also seemed lacking, with not enough toppings for the price paid. The appetizer was okay, but the egg rolls were too greasy. The service was terrible! Our server took our napkins and chopsticks, and then was nowhere to be found when we needed assistance. He was very soft-spoken, and we could barely hear his whisper. The decor was decent, and the ambiance was average, hence the two-star rating. I'm not sure why this place is popular because, in my opinion, the Pho is subpar compared to all the other Pho restaurants I have been to. I do not recommend this place. read more

The location is convenient as it's in a large shopping center. There is plenty of parking. The place is pretty spacious but a little dark. I came here for dinner and there were a few tables so service was pretty fast. C2. Broken Rice Grilled Pork - the broken rice was mushy sadly. The pork was flavorful but it didn't have the char flavor from the grill. The cucumbers and carrots were fresh. read more

What can I say, years later and this is still a neighborhood spot. Many of the same employees and always consistent food. Prices have increased over the years and service is never the primary feature here, but the pho is delicious, as well as some of their rice dishes. When I think of pho this is easily in my top three spots to go. Try it out and you won't be disappointed. read more

I got the combination pho. My wife got the grill pork vermicelli. We also got the shrimp summer rolls as appetizer. The summer rolls is different than others in that it is just only shrimp. Usually there are some other meat along with shrimp. The pho tasted good but a bit too sweet for me and also looking for a bit more meat. The grill pork for the vermicelli is really tender. One of the best grill pork I've eaten. Overall the food tasted authentic and the service was excellent. I would say it was a bit overpriced. read more

I did a Yelp search and found this gem close to where I was located. My daughter is not a Pho fan but tagged along with me. I got the Pho with brisket and round steak and order her two fried rolls. She loved her rolls. After I put the razzle dazzle on my Pho, she decided to taste it. Now who's a fan...SHE IS!!! Service was on point, as we were checked on several times. I love how roomy the restaurant is and noticed as we were leaving how busy it had gotten in the time we were there (I was so focused on my food that I didn't notice the dinner crowd coming in). I will definitely be returning!!! read more

I was pleasantly surprised with this restaurant. I have a favorite pho place in Richmond so I was a tad hesitant to go out of my comfort zone and "cheat" on my favorite, but Pho 1 Grill did a pretty decent job. We started with the pork soft rolls, which I thought were going to be more like a bao bun but instead were spring roll-esque with a small piece of pork, rice noodles, and lettuce, with a side of peanut dipping sauce. The pork was tough and lacking flavor but the dish overall was good, especially dipped in the peanut sauce. The pho I ordered was a bit too sweet for my taste, and the meat was cooked a bit too long but the overall flavor was tasty. They had the traditional toppings including bean sprouts, jalapeños, and basil. My husband got the banh mi sandwich which was the favorite of the night. The roll was a bit hard but the fillings were delicious. The pickled carrots were perfectly crisp and the pork was juicy, tender, and flavorful. And for $9 it was worth it! The service was okay, not anything to write home about, although we did have to wait quite a while for the check after we had finished eating. It started out very quiet but as it got later it got more and more boisterous. My only real complaint is that we were seated I guess on the wall connected with the kitchen, and the entire second half of our dinner was bombarded with banging and crashing sounds that shook the wall. Overall this place was pretty nice and the prices were delightful. I'd say we would definitely visit again. read more

Got takeout. I wish the online menu had more detail. I ordered mixed appetizers and the skewered chicken was dark meat. I don't like dark meat. Same for the mixed grill with noodles. Sliced chicken was dark meat. Had the menu specified dark or white, I could have ordered something else or gone to another restaurant. One of the sauces for the appetizers was a mystery. It was thick and orange and had no flavor. Prices were higher than I've ever paid for Vietnamese food and for that reason alone, they should be using white meat chicken. Not planning to go back. read more

The restaurant has a cozy and casual atmosphere, with friendly and attentive staff. The menu offers a wide range of Vietnamese dishes, including pho, banh mi, and various rice dishes. Another dish worth trying at Pho 1 Grill is the banh mi. The baguette is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, filled with savory meat, fresh vegetables, and herbs. The sandwich is not too heavy, making it a great option for a quick lunch or snack. The noodles were also really good, perfectly cooked with just the right amount of chewiness. If you're a fan of pork chop, you definitely need to try the one It's seasoned to perfection and has a nice char on the outside while remaining juicy and tender on the inside. The dish comes with a side of rice and vegetables, making it a satisfying and complete meal. I highly recommend giving it a try read more

After years of driving past Pho 1 Grill, my partner and I decided to try it! Vietnamese food has a gluten free options, and they even have a GF menu online, which is great! We stopped by twice in the last month and while I do like Pho 1 Grill overall, I do feel like a villain for giving it 3 stars. --Service: Normally I start with food in my reviews. Today I'm going to start with Service. Why? Well, as nearly every other review mentions, Service is great. Multiple water refills and staff checking on you throughout your meal. They were able to confirm which items are gluten free and were very clear in delivering it to the table and confirming it, so anyone with food allergies should breath a sigh of relief. --Food: Which really pains me to bring up the food. So, all in all it's pretty good. We ordered different things both times, and here's how we felt about it. - Pho Tai: First thing I got was a safe staple, the Pho Tai. I initially thought that the broth was a little underseasoned, but at the end of the bowl after stirring everything up once the noodles were consumed, it tasted pretty good. Not overwhelmingly flavor, but nice. The toppings were all very fresh, which some pho places can't always say. - Soft pork rolls: Amazing. These are super tasty and are the perfect little springrolls. Pork is very flavorful, dipping sauce is great, and the veggies inside are fresh. Honestly I'd be happy ordering just these. - Fried tofu: Not often are fried things safe for me to eat but these were on the GF menu, so we tried them. I liked them and while they're not everyone's cup of tea, or plate of tofu, the slight crispiness and the garlic sauce was a good combination. Could have been a touch crispier? - Broken rice with grilled shrimp: My partner said it was decent but the shrimp were a little shrimpy and overall the dish fell a little short. - Tangy tom yum shrimp stirfry: Decided to try something different as I enjoy stir fries and love tom yum, but something didn't click for this dish. It tasted quite underseasoned, but overall wasn't terrible as the vegetables were fresh. If you asked me to explain the flavors though, I wouldn't have much to go on. - Vegetable pho: I hate being rude in reviews, especially places that have polite staff and good service, but the diner that had this said it was incredibly bland and didn't taste like much of anything. I get that the broth won't have the savory kick that a beef broth might have, but she gets vegetarian pho at other places and it at least tastes like... something. Not sure if it was an off day or what, but she was disappointed. - Bubble tea smoothie: Refreshing. --Cost: Just about in line with other Vietnamese places. An appetizer and two entrees was around $30. --Atmosphere: Very nice! Very clean, nice layout, very comfortable. The fanciest and cleanest pho place in the area probably. --Overall: So it's a hard one for me. I really wanted to like it more, especially because of their attentiveness to allergies, which isn't always a given at some other pho places nearby. Service and everything else was really good. The beef pho was reasonably good, not my favorite in the area, but not bad either. The pork rolls are fantastic. Everything else, hmm. I would eat there again, but I probably would just stick to the beef pho and pork rolls. read more

This business is runnng on the customers without previous experience on good Vietnameese food. I have tasted a few of them in Richmond following the recommendation from my Vietnameese friends. This is the worst Vietnameese food I have EVER had. The spring roll was tasteless with chunk of rice noodles and tiniest shrimps. The problem is, I make Vietnamese spring rolls in home for breakfast, and I expected more than them. We had sea food noodles. The server didnt even know what clear noodles was. A few rubbery shrimp and fewer fish bolls, artificial crabmeat and chunks of rice noodles were floating on the very salty broth. I brought my friend to give her a taste of Vietnameese food and felt ashamed of this restaurant. They are even selling many Chinese items in the name of Vietnameese food. Felt very sad of the customers. read more

We came here for the first time as our favorite Pho restaurant was about to close. We ordered an appetizer, 3 entrees and 2 bhan mi to-go. They gave us only an appetizer and 2 entrees and started to vacuum the floor with very lound noise. They said they closed at 9:30 but they started to vacuum at 8:40!?! My husband and my little daughter never got their orders and no one came to check on us. So, we decided to pay for whatever we had gotten and leave. Normally, we always give a big tip when we eat outside but not this time. So disappointed. read more

This popular restaurant claims to be "Richmond's top rated Vietnamese restaurant," and based upon our first visit there we certainly cannot dispute this claim. For lunch we started with then Crispy Shrimp "Spring Roll" (K6) and it was very nice. For our main course I had the Banh Mi (S8) and my wife had the Pho (P1). We thoroughly enjoyed the meal though not really the very best Vietnamese food we've had. This is a very good restaurant and the ambiance and service were just right.

A family-owned Vietnamese Cuisine restaurant! And the restaurant I compare all pho from other places to ~ have high standards LOL this is my fourth time here, this time trying out their Thai Iced Tea and Housemade Flan Caramel I ordered the Broken Rice Dish with Grilled Pork and Spring Roll! I'm a huge fan of ordering the rice dishes at vietnamese restaurants. This is one of my favorite orders here! The portions were perfect! Not so much meat that I was overwhelmed, and not too little where I was disappointed. The spring rolls were crispy and yummy, and they cut up the spring rolls into smaller pieces for you. The grilled porks was very flavorful, and super good with the fish sauce. My two friends ordered the Pho Dac Biet. THE BROTH IS ALWAYS REALLY GOOD HERE! I didn't order this today, but my friends told me that the broth was food and the noodles were very chewy! Both finished their bowls. I got to try their Thai Iced Tea, which was recommended to me. I LOVE THAI ICED TEA and this is EXACTLY how I expected the drink to taste. Since I'm used to making my own drinks, I found this to be a little on the sweet side, but I'm not complaining haha. I got my drink with boba, and their boba is very soft and chewy, working well with the drink itself! Lastly, for dessert I was able to try their Housemade Flan Caramel. I haven't had flan in such a long time, but now, after trying this I am inspired to make my own too. I loved the texture ~ very soft and slightly jiggly. On my first bite, I was intrigued by the cold sweetness of the flan combined with the hint of salty sweet from the homemade caramel syrup. My only critique is that there was that maybe the caramel sauce was a little overcooked, BUT overall, STILL a good dessert move Dining in experience was pretty comfortable. The menus can be accessed online through a QR scan code. The interior and layout is already pretty spread out, complying to COVID safety and health practices. They have signs for their customers to wear their masks, showing me that they really do take this seriously, which I like and respect! Can't wait to come back :-) read more

I left a review over 3 years ago, but I just wanted to come back and say how amazing this place is. From the food to the service, it is all around PERFECT.

Ive been wanting to try pho for the longest time so when my bf suggested this place, I was more than happy to try. When we popped it, it was around 6/7 on Saturday so it was a bit busy but we got seated immediately since it was only 2 people in our group. They have a variety of different foods, not just pho. So if you are not a fan or pho, you can still check this place out. I ordered the pho #5 I think as it was recommended by the waiter. My boyfriend got some stir fry at which we both enjoyed. We both also ordered Taro boba to go. Overall it was a good experience, the food was pretty good. I wasn't really sure what to expect but it was phenomenal. Would definitely try again. read more

I really enjoyed everything I ordered at this place. I do not have a single complaint. I always enjoy professional wait staff on top of delicious food. I got the P8 egg noodles with wontons and pork, my boyfriend got the P7 Saigon street noodles. We also got the honey spare ribs and bubble tea smoothies. The broth in the Pho was delicious and I didn't feel a gross full like I do when they overload stuff with msg. Nothing disappointed us whatsoever. Also different staff kept asking us if we enjoyed everything. Just a great restaurant altogether, will be returning for sure. read more

Good lunch option. This was only my second visit. I tend to forget about this place, because the location is tucked away. I ordered grilled beef with broken rice and my husband ordered pho p1. Food was tasty and super fast. Server checked on us regularly and the place is clean. It scratched my hubby's itch for pho. The dishes came with a few sauces and sprouts. I guess we should know which sauce went with each dish, but we didn't. Lunch dishes ~$10/person, which seems about right. Although it was good, I reserve five star reviews for places I love, something unique or one of the best options of that type. This was good and I would go back, but it didn't wow me. read more

YES go there because I'm a fan and their food is delicious.

The banh mi is the best i've had in Richmond so far, mostly because that bread is top tier and the pork is the lemongrass char grilled kind.

We have been long time customers here, and still love it. Food is delish and fresh, and service is always friendly. While the Pho is the star of the show, everyone we try is excellent. I personally LOVE their fresh summer rolls, but my wife prefers the fried spring rolls. :) read more

So terrible. We ordered spring rolls and an egg drop soup with intentions of ordering food but it was so bad we got our check. Yuck.

Talk about amazing service! I had totally forgot about this place 2 years ago when I first tried it out. I was meeting up with a friend on our side of town and decided to go to the place that she had recommend before becoming a yelper. I had my lil man with me and we were easily seated with a table that I could place my lil man (he loves them lights). The service was seriously on point and very quick. I decided to start out with their wonton soup and entree of Broken rice with grilled pork and side of veggies and a springroll. The wonton soup hit the spot on the chilly evening. The broken rice with pork was pretty good - can't say that I had the best, but still really good. The egg roll was fantastic and who doesn't love the sauce that it comes with?! I ordered their pork banh mi to go so that my hubby can't complain about me not feeding him haha. I also order their chocolate bubble tea and practically inhaled that sucker down before the take our order was done. Overall, the experience was fantastic. Very clean, excellent service, delicious food, and great staff. Will be coming here more often since I'm closer to this spot! read more
