delicious authentic spot for Vietnamese noodle soups! I ventured outside of my norm of ordering beef pho and tried the hu tieu - which is a seafood noodle soup. it was delicious with jumbo shrimps, calamari, fish cake, & imitation crab- the eggrolls we ordered had a homemade feel with fresh filling inside- I should've asked for the fish sauce but it came with the sweet chili sauce. food was piping hot (the way I like it!), and they served it when it was ready- this made the timing of appetizers and mains off a bit but I didn't mind it. just be aware that it won't be served in that manner! highly recommend this place for an authentic bowl of pho or any other noodle soups (they also had bo kho and bun bo hue on the menu- will have to come back to try it!) read more

The food and service were nice, but we dined while there was a karaoke event and the noise was extremely loud. The karaoke made my son upset so we had to leave early and take the rest of the food as take out. read more

Pho here is super yummy I like the restaurant....it's clean and big. Plenty of room for lots of people. The pho is tasty and satisfying. The egg rolls were delicious I was very pleased with my meal each time I came in. I don't get anything specific or special. The pho there is great and the broth is tasty. Hours claim to be open to midnight, but I haven't tried that yet lol read more

PHO 18 - Crispy egg rolls - Vietnamese Near Me - Arlington, Texas

Ok, their grand opening sign was on when I went house hunting in the nearby neighborhood back in June 2018 time to remove that sign and show that you're doing good since you're still open y'all! That sign is as tacky as having Christmas lights still on in the mid of July ‍ That being said they got an improvised sign said they got Hue stuffs so I wanna give the place a try. Nice big, opened space restaurant AND even better, a smiling server greeting me yes!!! Now the deduction: when asked the server told me they got nothing Hue except for spicy noodle so spicy noodle (Bun Bo Hue) it is. The broth was alright, the noodle over cooked, the vegetables... Another deduction: I ordered Avocado shake and it was overly sweet. I would've give this place a two for nice server and be like, let's not be here again but I like to be a bit fair and order a couple dishes to go. This place is a 4 stars for me for their fried rice!!!! All that flavor --bbq pork, Chinese/Vietnamese sausage, onion, shrimp, carrot, green peas ...yes! On a drier rice too yay! I will come back for this. Other dish pending on review since I haven't even open the Togo bag: Bo Kho w Rice noodle, will revise if I remember read more

Ooooh! This restaurant hasn't been around too long and we'd been meaning to try it out. So glad we finally did. I wasn't feeling so hot and when that's the case, pho is the only thing that not only sounds good, but makes me feel better. A good pho broth is magical. Decided it was the perfect opportunity to try out Pho 18. We called in and picked up our order to go. Jon and I each ordered the #13, beef pho with eye of round (tai). Jon also got the #1, an order of fried egg rolls. I can't eat them being gluten free, but they certainly smelled incredible and had that perfect audible crispy crunch! Jon definitely enjoyed them. And we each loved our pho. The broth is beautifully aromatic and flavorful, and you get plenty of the good stuff... herbs, bean sprouts, sliced jalapeños, green onion. The noodles and steak were the perfect texture. I felt a lot better after this amazing lunch. We've found a new pho place to enjoy! We're still staying home as much as possible so we didn't get a chance to really experience Pho 18's ambiance or customer service, but it looked cute and clean from what we saw. And from calling in our order to picking it up, the staff was friendly and speedy! read more

I ate lunch (12 pm) here with my family. Upon arrival, there was no staff or customers in the restaurant. We waited a good 5 minutes, so we seated ourselves and waited till someone came out. About 5 minutes later the waiter came and gave us our menu. We ordered the banh beo, hu tieu, and pho bo. The banh beo was overcooked. The rice cake is supposed to be soft and moist, but the banh beo we recieved was very dry and difficult to eat. The fish sauce that they gave us was very poor quality. You can see in my picture that the banh beo was very very dry. The hu tieu was very salty. It was almost unbearable to eat. We had to "doctor" it in order for it to be edible. The pho was pretty good! I ordered a size large and it was LARGE. They had a good portion of meat and the broth was very flavorful! Overall, my experience was okay. The pho was pretty good, so if i do come back, it would be for the pho read more

I love Pho... I mean it is a craving I have probably one a week. I have searched and tried many places but I think i'm going to have to stop soon, because my disappointment only grows. The look of the place is 4, our service was a 5 but the food was a 2 at best. Egg rolls were perfectly cooked but left something to be desired in the flavor category. Spring rolls are chewy and lacked flavor but the peanut dipping sauce was some of the best I've ever had. The Pho was the real disappointment. Every component lacked depth and seasoning. But I will say this, there is a younger girl working there (I forget her name) but she had glasses, braces, and a big smile and she made the experience worth it. She alone had saved this review from being a 2. She was friendly, polite, prompt, and never stopped moving or working the entire time we were there. Her attitude was great and she really is an asset. I won't go back unless I decide to try to recruit her to come work for me. read more

New pho joint in Arlington. Food portion is huge and it came out pretty quickly. My niece ordered the chicken fried rice. She really enjoyed it. There was so much chicken and rice she ended up taking more than half of it home. I got the grilled chicken vermicelli noodles. I am pretty picky when it comes to the fish sauce that comes with this dish because most places water it down but here the sauce was flavorful and good. Chicken was nice and juicy. Will be back to try the pho! read more

The food was okay,,,until I noticed THIS in my soup yes,,,those are flies. Yes I am disgusted and revolted. My fathers food was good (so he said) and so was mine, until I noticed the dead gnats. The service was also pretty mediocre and there was a LACK of vegetarian/vegan options. read more

PHO 18 - Gnats - Vietnamese Near Me - Arlington, Texas

If you wanna try this place out, go for it but don't expect anything. My experience was beyond bad. Service: very rude middled-aged man, looked like the owner, never greeted us (expected for a Vietnamese restaurant). Yelled when talk on the phone as WHEN serve us food. Watched videos on phone with MAX VOLUME THE ENTIRE TIME, only stopped when we walked up to pay. Plus never care to check on us. WHAT? I don't know who the owner is or who trained him to work as a server, or he is the owner, but man, this business will go down the drain because of people like him. Food: bun bo hue, the worst among the other bun bo hue in the area. I dont expect good bun bo at a pho place but honestly, you just need to put more bun bo hue seasoning (sold at Ben Thanh market, next to you) and it will be so much better. Portion: the bun is less than the baby bun bo at Duc Chuong for your reference, 1 cha lua, 2-3 pork blood, 2-3 pork fat slices, didnt see any beef. Overall: Service: negative Food: 0 Place: 1 star for new. Why we didn't complain there? Because obviously the "server" didn't seem to care so why should we. I don't tolerate that kind of service. This review is for people who want to know what you might get when you go here. This place needs to hire some good cooks & servers to last. It's ok if the food is bad, but with portions and services like that, good luck keeping the business! Thank you for the bad experience! read more

They can't explain the meals. The "porridge " was awful. Chicken dry. No refills of water. No English. Sorry. My husband told them. Response. Oh well. Please don't eat here read more

Run! Run far away from here. It was a cold day in Arlington, so we opted for pho. All we wanted was two large bowls of pho tai and two orders of crispy egg rolls. Egg rolls were cold, and we sent them back - they came back warm. Our garnish for the pho was brought out about ten minutes after our soup arrived. We asked our waitress about it earlier, and she said she forgot and continued to bus tables. We had to ask for refills - we almost helped ourselves. The manager ended up helping us. The young waitress with glasses was clearly new, and she was probably the worst waitress I've ever had. She was arguing with the manager in front of the entire dining room, and she had the worst attitude ever. WE ARE NEVER COMING BACK. My husband paid and left to get the car. The manager walked to my table and apologized for the service. People called in sick, the waitress is new and he'a not even supposed to be in the dining room. He said my husband was "pissed off", and he's sorry. Half hearted apologies fall flat for me. Of course, this is just my opinion. read more

You will feel the atmosphere is comfortable and intimate when entering this restaurant. The staff is very cute. The boss is a very nice and gentle person. Try Hue food here, delicious! (Thank you very much for the sweety and passionate Avocado smoothie!) read more

Came to try this place with the family. Definitely wasn't packed inside, only 2 other tables during Sunday lunch. Service was like any other Vietnamese restaurant, lacking of customer service. I got the Bo Luc Lac dish and the rest of the family got pho. The food was average. They didn't have any boba available and they forgot to bring out the soy milk that we ordered. Not terrible but nothing that I would come back for. read more

Sorry, but if you're going to advertise that you're open until midnight - both on your website and on a rather large sign on your store's facade - you kind of need to be open when I show up at 10:30p on a Saturday night. Fail. read more

Pretty picky w my pho. I tend to favor a more sweet savory broth and this place has it! I asked for a side of scallion oil cus i just like to ooze my pho in cholesterol and they were so kind to bring it out. It's sometimes hot but cooler weather is coming and I'm just trying to leave a longer review. But all in all the pho is really really good :) read more

NO VEGETARIAN OPTIONS!! I came here yesterday with a vegetarian friend. Yelp says this place has "Vegetarian Options" and my friend ordered the tofu and veggie pho (which the waitress recommended as the only veggie option on the menu). The pho came on beef broth - and smelt like beef very much, my friend couldn't eat it. What's funny is that we ordered tofu spring rolls and the other waiter told us there was meat in those so we cancelled the order.. surprised that he didn't tell us about the pho then? Terrible service and misinformation on the yelp page. I won't come here again. read more

Stop by pho 18 because a friend recommended the place. The staff was friendly and very attentive! My favorite if all time is the Dat Biet (combination pho). read more

PHO 18 - Vietnamese Near Me - Arlington, Texas

It's your typical Vietnamese restaurant. They didn't seem busy, but they were understaffed. We had a party of 9 and the food was fairly quick to come out except for one of dish took forever to come out. My husband got a Pho Dac Biet and so did my cousin but my cousins never came out. So he sat there for like 20 minutes with no food and when they did bring it out, they brought it with cilantro and onions which he requested not to have so it took another 5 minutes to bring another bowl out but it was the wrong pho bowl. On top of just bringing out the wrong dishes, they kept saying they didn't have any boba drinks or fresh squeezed orange juice which we felt was a cop out cause they didn't want to make it since they were understaffed. Overall the food was okay, bowls didn't have a lot of meat and the noodles were slightly undercooked. Priced around $8.50 for a "large" but the large was more like a medium type of bowl... as I stated. It was okay, not terrible but could be better. read more

This is a new restaurant in the Ben Thanh plaza. Used to be many years back pho Hung. Walked in was greeted nicely, they ask for our drink order, and then was left looking through the menu. We decide to order goi Vit, pho tai gan, bun with grilled pork, and rode with grill pork. Love the goi Vit was super yummy right amount of onion to cabbage combination and the ginger sauce was yummy, found my new spot for goi Vit they have two size a small and a large we order the small one. Their grilled meat was flavorful and hot. Pho was good too. We will definitely be back. read more

I saw this new place open when I was next door eating at another place and I thought I'd try it, looks like a mom and pop shop which I respect a lot! The pho broth was very well seasoned! The meat in the pho was sliced so thin that it melted in my mouth! Very impressed with the pho here, will be coming back for more in the future! read more

Been here a few times and always get the Bùn Bo Hue which is very good. However, today they substituted the ham hock for a pork chop. I'm Caucasian so it didn't really bother me but my lady is Vietnamese which really turned her off. Not to mention no TV for my 2 year old and they no longer serve free pho for kids. And oh, bathroom was nasty and out of paper towels. Rumor has it they are under new management. Needless to say, probably hit Pho 999 b4 this place or Duc Chuong. read more

I am not a pho expert. We just got in town and wanted something light and warm. Real good lots of meet. What I was not familiar with is red onions in it. So if you remember ask for no onions. read more

It's been a long time since I've had pho from a restaurant and also a fairly long time since I've had pho, period. I've always found pho to be bland in general and when I wanted to eat something soupy I would get some ramen. PHO 18 somehow surprised me with their pho and the dishes that my family ordered. I found the large bowl of pho that I ordered to be flavorful (although I did add a lot of sriracha) and I ate it all, broth included. The second dish that surprised me was the duck salad, which I found to be tasty and not chewy. Duck salad or dishes where the duck is boiled are also among the ones that I'm not a fan of, but I did like the one that PHO 18 served us. Service was attentive and courteous and overall my family had a pleasant experience. I'll come back to PHO 18 whenever I have my rare cravings for pho. read more

The portions are huge and the food is delicious. We ordered the grilled pork vermicelli and the seafood pho. The people were nice, minimal English though. Just point to the item on the menu that u want and one of them will write it down and bring it to u. First time at this place and I would definitely come back! read more

Chao Vit was ok. Hu Tieu My Tho was not good. They used canned quail eggs which tasted nasty. The fried pork fat was old and soft. It was supposed to be crunchy. Liver was dry. Sliced pork was dry. This is supposed to be a non-smoking restaurant but someone smoked on the back. read more

The pho was all clumped together when served but softened as time went by. The chicken pho had very thinly sliced chicken and too much broth to noodle ratio, but at least the broth wasn't filled with msg. The egg rolls were disappointing (I would rather have 5 thinly rolled egg rolls than 3 overstuffed ones). The thick sauce that came with it tasted like something you would get from an American Chinese take out place. Overall, I would not come back. read more

This establishment isn't worth your time. I've been in three times now. The first two times I ordered Pho and it was okay, nothing special, but was at least served as the menu stated. I had lunch there today and will never be back. Ordered a Bun Bowl with grilled chicken. The chicken was grisly, the egg roll it was served with was drenched in grease instead of being crispy. All in all, simply awful. Don't waste your time and money. read more

This is my new go-to pho place! This is our 4th time here and it has been very consistent every time we go.

Honestly, I questioned the reviews about the broth being flavorful because most pho places here (tbh) are ok, but I thought I'd give this place a try. But I was pleasantly surprised by the taste here! It actually is flavorful with a hint of sweetness. This is the First time I didn't addd hoisin sauce or Sriracha to my broth. Definitely try it before overloading it with sauce. Will be making this my new place to go to. read more

Favorite new Pho spot! The pho is really flavorful and authentic. Service is good and fast, would definitely recommend!!
