We're lucky to have such a wonderful family run establishment. I haven't explored much of the menu…read morehowever it's safe to say the place called Pho House has dank pho. It's a comforting embrace on your dehydration from partying the night before. It's the gentle kiss of the sunlight on the first spring day. It's the caress of the lover that got away. Today I needed food to hit my soul. I've had a lot going on and sometimes it's hard to find that special dish that will make your day. This bowl gave me hope and vitality. What a lovely and well seasoned experience. I don't write reviews often but this experience hit different. Please be kind to restaurant staff. Food tastes better when you have a good heart.

After the owner of the former Vietnamese Restaurant retired, she started helping out here, and the…read morepho tastes very similar to what they used to serve. The broth has a slightly sweet flavor that I personally really enjoy. Their salted lemonade is really fresh and refreshing, it's a must-order every time I visit! My only complaint is the portion size. The bowls are a bit small. As a female, I need to order a large to feel full. Most males may probably want to order an appetizer or another dish on the side. Service is pretty much the same as it was at the old Vietnamese Restaurant, minimal and not particularly attentive. Overall, the food keeps me coming back, especially the pho and salted lemonade. Four stars.

Bai Toan was fabulous! I messed the reservation up somehow…read morebut we got there at 5:30 and they accommodated us at the bar. Whew! The actual restaurant is beautiful and the moody lighting and colorful decor was cool and hip. Do kids still say hip? Whatever, it was hip. The cocktails were fabulous and we order waaaay too much food. I have to say, everything was amazing. See pics for what we ordered- the green papaya salad is my favorite and they did it right! Ask for their house made pepper/fish sauce to drizzle on top Coming from Atlanta where the Vietnamese is exceptional, I've really struggled in Memphis to find that amazing spot to get my Viet fix. Valet was nice to not have to figure parking for yourself, bring some cash! We will totally be back!

The owner is very kind and always comes by to chat with us when she's not too busy, which makes the…read moreplace feel warm and welcoming. You can tell she puts a lot of heart into preserving and carrying on the Le family's authentic flavors and traditions. Their lotus salad is the best in town. The pho and house special rice dishes are my usual go-to dishes and always hit the spot. Recently, we tried two of their new dishes and were really impressed. The stone bowl pho was amazing--the broth was incredibly smooth, clean, and natural-tasting, and the meatballs were flavorful and delicious. The Bun Cha Hanoi felt like an upgraded version of vermicelli dishes, with a tasty and flavorful soup on the side. Definitely a place we keep coming back to.

MADISON AVENUE! Better than the rest!…read more TBO !!! (Taste bud Orgasm) Get there while they're slow because the words about to get out! This is the best Vietnamese food I've had in a very very long time. The pan fried X-wide rice noodles is to die for and the spicy lemongrass tofu can't be beat. My wife was not 100% crazy about the pho broth as she said that it tasted 1/2 + 1/2, have bone broth and half beef powder. That said they served plenty of fresh herbs - even sawtooth coulantro! Which is very Perishable so you don't see it often but taste like cilantro on steroids. Memphis is becoming a crowded field when it comes to Pho houses but this is one not to miss out on. A party in your mouth!

We were in the area and was wanting Pho. To our surprise I found this place not far from where we…read morewere at and it had great reviews. We were greeted when we first walked in and they let you choose your table. The server came right away to take our drink order. When she returned we were ready to order. Of course we all ordered Pho. My little one had the steak, my husband had the dac biet, and I had the brisket. Broth had the depth that we love about pho. All greens and veggies are fresh and chilis are grown in house. We did arrive right before their rush so our server was busy with a large group, however the food made it all worth it.

Lotus is a great spot to enjoy authentic and delicious Vietnamese dishes. One thing I really…read moreappreciate is their special menu for Lunar New Year. They always put together festive dishes that make the occasion feel extra special. We ordered LNY specials this year, and everything was well-prepared and flavorful as always. The only downside is that they haven't allowed dine-in service since COVID, which is a bit of a bummer because it would be nice to enjoy the food fresh at the restaurant. Still, it's definitely worth ordering from if you're looking for quality Vietnamese food!

After many years they are only do take out orders. It is best to call and allow them time to prepare your order. The husband brings your food to your car. It is worth the effort if you are not looking for sit down dining. A very different experience, but enjoyable Vietnamese food.

Had to come back for another round of their delicious banh mi. The pho was decent, though not as…read moreflavorful as I remembered. The food overall is solid, which brought me back for a second time. But the restaurant itself feels very outdated and not the most comforting place to dine in. Service isn't exactly warm, and there doesn't seem to be much effort to improve or refresh the space. I get the whole "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality, but after visiting twice, I think I'd rather go somewhere else for pho if I'm looking to sit down and enjoy a cozier, more welcoming atmosphere. That said, I'm still giving it a solid 4 stars because the food is still solid, I'm not gonna take away from that. I just wish the condition and cleanliness of the restaurant matched the quality of what's coming out of the kitchen.
