There's a reason for the great reviews at Phi 36.....the service and food are extraordinary! Hong, our host and server, greeted us on entering and immediately took our beverage orders. He was gracious, welcoming and attentive. There's an awesome personal vibe here, down to the wrapped chop sticks. The menu is a blend of Asian dishes, but specializes in Pho. I ordered the "Chicken Noodle Soup Pho" which is delicious, like a warm hug. The broth is light and flavorful, the chicken tender, the noodles, bean sprouts and cilantro so fresh. It was the best Pho I've had in Indiana. The large portion is enormous, I couldn't finish it! My husband had the Grilled Beef Banh Mi sandwich. If you've never had a Banh sandwich, you don't know what you're missing. The beef was tender, the bread toasty and so many great flavors. This locally operated cafe is cozy with ten small tables. They do a robust carry out and in house service. The place fills up at lunch time. There is plenty of parking in the strip mall lot. The single restroom is clean and tidy. I highly recommend! Easy 5 Stars! read more

I can only speak for myself but I was a little disappointed with the size of the Banh mi I ordered for takeout. It came deconstructed for some reason and for $8 it seemed quite small. Flavor wise the sandwich was good, I can't deny that. Maybe it was the fact it was takeout but the mix of size and necessity to build my banh mi was a knock overall. read more

This is not a place to really sit down and eat however, they do have a few tables inside. It's more geared toward carryout. The pho is very good! I was pleasantly surprised with all the fresh herbs. The broth was very tasty. I also got a Matcha Boba tea. I always enjoy this special treat and there's is authentic. read more

Amazing food every time. It's probably been 6 months since we were able to stop in. We went today and wow. Pho was perfect. The broth is amazing. And the owner remembered us. It was quite endearing. She knew our order after all that time not being in. We got to catch up with her and enjoy some great pho. Thank you so much read more

Been in here many, many times and have always left satisfied. The dining area is quaint and there are about 10 tables. It does get a little cold in the winter if people come and go a lot while you are there. The owners are super friendly and will quickly remember you if you become a regular. The service has always been good everytime we have been there. We almost always order the spring rolls with shrimp as an appetizer. It comes with peanut sauce which is one of the best we've ever had. I've had the pho before and it is amazing. I usually take about half of it home because it is a huge bowl. This time however, I went with the grilled beef bánh mi sandwich. Theirs is my favorite sandwich of all time. We also got the crab rangoon this time and it also did not disappoint. It, of course, comes with a (I think) sweet and sour sauce. We will be returning many times and look forward to it. read more

This restaurant consistently delivers exceptional service, with friendly staff whose humor brightens our visits. The interior is clean, and the pho is always served hot and fresh. The boba is a perfect complement to our meals. My partner loved the spring rolls so much that we ordered four servings to enjoy throughout the week. The loyalty card and our appreciation for the cuisine keeps us coming back for more! read more

I looked through all of the reviews I've ever left and this is going to be the first time I give a business below a 3. This was TOUGHHHH. This place has about 9 tables inside, pretty small. Totally fine! The problem was the service. I had to ask for my drink 4 times. Even had to ask after my friends got theirs. Then we finally get our food and finally got our drinks...we didn't have silverware. We politely ask for that and they say they will go get it ASAP. We were sitting for a good 5 minutes before they came back out to the front and realized that once again they forgot our silverware again. I'm totally understanding of small businesses and if waiters are busy, they are busy, no problem. but we would watch our server leave our table, go to the kitchen two steps away (to presumably get our drinks), come back out 5 minutes later, walk right by us and go help other tables. Forgetting once or twice is fine but 4 times is crazy. Food was alright, not bad, but nothing amazing. The two pluses? 1) the portions were huge! Definitely bang for your buck 2) An older lady came in and started working right as we were about to leave (I think she might have been the owner) and she runs a tight ship. Very friendly and was very in charge of telling the staff who should do what to make the flow better. This place might be better on another day where she is working, just was a miss for me. read more

Pho 36 - 74. Beef Yakisoba Plate - Vietnamese Near Me - Avon, Indiana

I had the rare beef and fat brisket pho and it was . The brisket was the best. We both got the large and it was SO filling. For only $2 more than the small, it was worth it. I shared a grilled pork banh mi with my friend and it was okay. I wish the bread was crispier and there was more filling like jalapeños and pickled veggies. The mango green tea boba was sweet and good but the boba wasn't as springy as I like usually. The service was great. The woman there was warm and welcoming. We went around lunch and it wasn't packed but almost every table was filled. Seems to be an Avon favorite! The ambiance is cool. Very much a hidden gem whole in the wall kind of vibe. read more

Just flew in from Phoenix and looking for a good Pho place to eat. Tried out Pho 36 and I'm glad it was not to far from the airport! Food was delicious, service was fast and the restaurant was very clean and relaxing!! (Playing some nice music!) Next time I'm here in Indianapolis I will certainly stop by again!! read more

Best pho in Indy and Bloomington that I've found. Food is fresh and delicious! Small bi mighty staff that keeps things running smooth. Seating area is small and there is a steady flow of customers.

Pretty Pho-king good and Pho-king fast. Decent price. It was a good stop on the way through town,

Everything was amazing as every time I have been here. I am leaving this review because I have been eating here since it opened. The service is always as good as their food, and their food is wonderful. read more

I ordered a pork chop and rice and it was scrumptious! I ate the pork chop to the bone. The flavor profile was so yummy. The texture was soft but a a crisp on the edges. The menu had great options it was hard to choose something! Service was so courteous! He was patient and understanding. My friend had questions about gluten and they were happy to assist her with her request. Parking upfront and there was seating for dining in! I would certainly return! read more

Order DoorDash from here and just received my food and knew immediately I had to write a review. I've been home sick today and ordered their rare beef pho and springs rolls and they definitely delivered! They packaged everything so nicely with separate packaging for toppings (jalapeños, bean sprouts, mint, sauces) and the broth was super flavorful. The beef cooked once put in the hot broth. Everything hit the spot. Also the spring rolls were ginormous! It was my first time trying this spot and definitely won't be my last. read more

I stopped back in to Pho 36 for lunch as my dad was visiting and he had never had Vietnamese food. First I had to try the peach Boba Tea for my drink. It was a perfect balance of sweetness without being too sweet. Great bobas were in there. They have the option to get liquid filled ones too. Next I ordered the Vietnamese Shaking Beef. This dish is not spicy but you can order it with extra spice if you wish. The plate included some very good white rice and vegetables as side items. It was a very tasty dish and wasn't hot as they described. The beef was very tender and the rice tasted good with the dish. Service was friendly quick and great during our lunch visit. read more

First of all, LESS THAN $10 a bowl?!?! Just get out!!!!!!! I wish I lived locally. Second, the broth is LEGIT. So delicious, the noodles had the right bite, the meat was soft and tearable with the teeth. I'm salivating thinking about my experience here. Service is pretty fast. read more

Ordered door dash for a Banh Mi special, two spring rolls and a drink. The restaurant only gave the driver the sandwich. Understandably, those things happen. However, when eating the sandwich, there were only a few micro slices of pork, a few carrot shreds, 1 jalapeno and the bread wasn't fresh. This was ordered on a Saturday evening. Won't be ordering from them again... read more

This place is probably great for people that are less familiar with Vietnamese food. There is full translation and explanations of each item on the menu and they've modified things to accommodate an American pallet. We got a large pho tai chin, large pho tai Nam, and a bun bo hue. The large is not very large. The pho broth is not good. The bun bo hue only comes with 3 slices of well done flank and 3 slices of cha. You are supposed to make bun bo hue with a thick round rice noodle but they just used pho noodle here. It is fine but not at all authentic. It was very busy when we went. It is located in a plaza with a parking lot. Overall, the food is not great and I would not recommend it. read more

Back again and the soup was just as good as the first time. You can taste the broth was made just in that morning so much flavor. Lovely conversation diverse group because we all love a great soup especially on a rainy day! Service always feels like home. read more

Pho 36 is a decent restaurant for pho just outside of Indy, on the west side. The Pho broth was different, more on the lighter side, but still decent flavors. They did hook me up with hanh dam (pickled onions), which I like to add sriracha and a dash of hoisin. Pairs well with your meats. Egg rolls were good, but I wish it also came with lettuce leaves to make a wrap. And I normally don't get seafood pho, but I do for my kids. They said they loved it. Overall decent place for some pho! read more

For an appetizer we both got two Spring roll dishes (comes with 2 each), and they were very fresh and delicious. I enjoyed the pho dish and it was very filling. I'll need a nap now since I am in a food coma. Boba tea was good and came in cute cups with faces on top. Beware though it's very sweet. My wife enjoyed the milk Thai tea flavored boba and her vermicelli noodle dish. We both liked the classical piano music of movie soundtracks such as "Take my breathe away" Top Gun movie soundtrack and the Titanic song. Service was good and we will be back read more

I stopped in after shopping in the area. I was pleased with everything I ordered. The pho had a unique and tasty flavor and was stocked with the traditional fresh veggies.

I love eating at Pho 36. Most of the time I get it to go which is perfect every time. Today I decided to eat in and I got to visit with the owner. She is just so sweet! Broth was flavorful, and the amount of accoutrements for the soup was enough to make the bowl full. This is my go to meal and I could eat at least once a week. If you leave hungry then that's your own fault. The pho comes in a small and large size. Definitely get the large. It's worth it and some will have leftovers. read more

The food was very good and the service was excellent. It's so nice to have some authentic cuisine locally. Try it!

Pho is my comfort food, and this place has always been the one to beat! After moving around the state a bunch over the years I have tried many places because they are what is close by, but none of them have ever lived up to pho 36. The flavor and quality? Absolutely unmatched. The friendliness of the owners and the homey atmosphere cannot be beat. My go to has always been their rare beef and brisket pho, with their spring rolls, and always some kind of Boba! My usual favorite is taro with tapioca Boba, but tonight I decided to try their rose milk tea and lychee Boba and I am unsurprisingly in love. Tonight was my first visit back in a long time, and now that I will be moving back closer it will be far from my last! read more

Pho 36 - Rose milk tea with lychee Boba! - Vietnamese Near Me - Avon, Indiana

I loved this place! Our server was so kind and attentive. We started off with spring rolls and egg rolls. The spring roll sauce was awesome with the chopped peanut in it. I ordered a jasmine tea to drink which was nice and refreshing. If you're looking for a sweet tea then don't order it. It is a nice refreshing unsweetened tea. We then got our pho (quickly I might add, we were the only ones in the restaurant at the time) which I liked. I got a large beef pho with tripe and added meatballs to it. It was enough to have as my lunch and for dinner later that night. My fiancé got the small portion and I would go with the small if you're looking for something that's enough for one sitting. He got the been pho with brisket and said it was delicious. I've also added updated menu photos to my post because everything I found on Yelp was from over 3 years ago. Overall I recommend this place, I had a great experience! I'll definitely be back next time I crave pho. read more

Pho 36 is a small restaurant with probably less than 10 tables seating 2-4 people each. The service was very friendly and the presentation of the food was good. The reason why I gave this place a 3 star is because the grilled pork sandwich tasted very dry and was hard to chew. The daikons for some reason was soaked in a soy sauce color sauce, which I'm kind of confused about, and the bread does not taste fresh at all. The grilled pork with egg roll vermicelli had too much veggies in it; the noodles & meat ratio to lettuce, cucumber and bean spouts were too little.. the egg rolls didn't look fully cooked or fresh either. The grilled pork chop with rice tasted very strange... the pork chop didn't taste like pork; it had a strange texture that was very soft and rubbery taste. I don't think I'll be coming back here anymore, due to the taste and quality of the food. read more

My wife and I are in town visiting family from east coast. We came here since the review is 4.3 stars. We both got pho. First glance, broth is greasy. After first taste of the broth, it is way too sweet. The large size is not really generous on the meat portion. My wife also got Thai ice tea. It came straight from premix bag. Overall, very disappointed. Maybe my expectation is too high. Can't recommend. read more

Cha Gio (Egg Rolls) (3) The size is much smaller than I expected. The crust is very thick the stuffing is relative less. Just so-so for this one. The pho tastes like other places that I have tried before, I guess that's regular, not bad, worth trying, no surprising. The fried rice amount is good enough, the taste is not quite good. I can only say it is not bad, but not good. I won't recommend, but to be fair. the sausage slide inside taste good. read more

I am a regular at Pho 36, I go at least every month. The food is freshly prepared and always great, but I did want to mention one area of improvement. During the cold winter months it is FREEZING inside the restaurant. I thought it would be a one time experience, but it has been cold repeatedly now. It's a smaller restaurant, so I wouldn't suggest sitting by the door and be prepared to wear your coat during your meal. Luckily the pho soup helps warm you up, and I ordered the hot jasmine tea for the same reason. The coldness doesn't t keep me from visiting, but I thought I would gIve a heads up. read more

A breath of fresh air among the chain-heavy strip malls in the area. Came here for lunch. We were immediately seated and taken care of by the very friendly host/cashier/waitress/all-around amazing woman. We ordered the vegetarian spring rolls, without tofu. It came with two rolls. They were very, very large. I was honestly almost full after eating one of them. I also ordered the large portion of the vegetarian pho (noodle soup). It came with a huge bowl of steamy, tasty broth, filled with tofu, broccoli, shaved carrots, onions, sprouts, and of course, noodles. It also came with basil, cilantro, jalepenos, and sprouts on the side. As a to-go treat, I also got the soursop bubble tea. A couple of things to note: - I got mine sweetened less than normal and it can out still very sweet. - it also came out with the ice blended, almost like a smoothie. - the soursop, although artificial tasting, was very tasty and I would order it again. Fruity and florally at the same time. I also tried the taro and it tasted straight up like soft serve ice cream. Lol. Would highly recommend this place. The pho was incredible and the large turned into two very hefty meals for me - worth the price! read more

I agree with the fast friendly service. Just stopped by for a quick carry-out and was pleasantly surprised. I was in and out in record time. Once I got home and unwrapped my treasures, I saw the portion size... yay... jackpot for someone like me who likes to pig out... I had the grilled beef bahn mi and it was excellent. I may order that without the jalapenos since they are quite strong and fiery. Otherwise the taste is just wonderful. Also ordered the vermicelli with beef, which was quite big and equally tasty. Yes, I will be back to discover more items on their menu. read more

My husband has been looking for Vietnamese sandwiches and little did we know that Pho 36 is very close to Aldi where we usually buy our groceries. We tried them a few weeks ago and guess what, we came back last Saturday! That only means we really love the food! We love their Bahn Mi sandwiches and my favorite is their Pork Chop with egg. They have bobas too! A must-try is their Mango Boba. It is soooooo good. We usually go there as soon as they open and from both times that we went there, it wasn't that busy. The place is small with a few tables but very clean. Kim (owner) is very nice and personable and always finds time to talk to you and not just ask "how was the food?" etc. I would recommend this place not just for great Vietnamese food but also for the cleanliness and their customer service. No Bahn Mi picture. My husband ate it so fast before I could take a picture of it! read more
