Not sure why the poor ratings here but that was also why I didn't have high expectations but it was certainly better than I expected which is always a great feeling! Only came here to try the pho: - P2 pho rare eye round 4/5 - P5 pho well done brisket thin beef belly 4/5 Both pho was very meaty and had good quality meat but the noodles itself tastes instant, broth came piping hot which was amazinggg, and well flavored (but more on the saltier spectrum). Portion was also great as well Tip: ask for the chili oil!! Made the broth 10x better!! read more

(Overall: A) - Overall, Pho 420 Saigon seems to have a plentiful amount of food that tastes quite reasonable and is delivered in a way thats well packaged. Highly recommend for those in the North Jersey area. (Pho 1: A) - This bowl comes with brisket, flank, tendon, and tripe, and only costs $13 which is considerably cheap considering the massive bowl of soup that comes with it. I was quite happy with the packaging, flavor, and execution of the pho. (Rib Plate Pho: A) - This one costs 1.5x the regular numbered phos, but comes with more noodle and noticeably more beef. I also liked the spicy pickled radish pairing that I found quite unique for a pho restaurant. -- Food: E Presentation: +1 Price: +1 Overall: +2 A Insta/Beli: @amei_eats read more

I've been to Pho 420 Saigon a few times now. It's a small local spot on the main street of Palisades Park. They have maybe ten tables. Their pho is pretty good, especially the broth. And they have a few interesting variations, such as SP3, which has a spicy beef broth. The only thing i dislike about their pho is how delicate the noodles are. The noodles have been overcooked every time i've gone, so they often break as i go to pick them up, which makes eating the dish difficult. They're also a bit pricier than other local pho spots that are just as good. read more

Pho 420 Saigon - SP3 - Vietnamese Near Me - Palisades Park, New Jersey

Good service, not so good pho. I've got to learn my lesson and not walk into Korean pho restaurants with any semblance of hope it would taste as good as their Vietnamese counterparts. At least this place wasn't nearly as horrific as the truly, genuinely awful Korean pho joint PhoBu in Fort Lee, which mercifully shut down. But long story short, as others here have pointed out, the pho just doesn't taste right. Broth, noodle, meat mix is just off and doesn't have the same taste, feel, texture or vibe of genuine pho. That said, the quality of what they offer isn't poor at all and if you don't care about pho tasting like what you'd get in a real Vietnamese place, then you're fine. Same goes for their pork chop entree which tastes fine but isn't much like their Vietnamese counterparts. However, like the pho, at least they use decent ingredients. However, note they are also more pricey than other places. The service here was good and the restaurant itself was clean. I also like how their delivery service they do a good job of packing the food in a very clean and eco friendly way. Too bad this place wasn't more authentic in terms of taste or execution, would have been nice to have another good pho option in town but at least it isn't as horrible as some other similar wannabe pho joints. read more

Pho 420 Saigon - Vietnamese Near Me - Palisades Park, New Jersey

As a Vietnamese, I was suspecting at first if the pho would taste okay here because the restaurant was in the middle of Korean neighborhood and the staffs seemed to be all Korean. However, I was very impressed with my order and felt sooooo content! Enjoyed every bite and finished every single thing including the broth. The bowl of pho was also served with extra beansprouts and sliced onions on the side. Except for when I was in my home country of Vietnam, I never saw any other Vietnamese restaurants in the States that served a generous amount of sliced onions on the side. Side beansprouts are pretty common, but not sliced onions. Nothing like a good bowl of pho on a rainy cold day Not only the food was good, but also the staff was friendly. We were curious what 420 stood for and he explained that it sounded like Saigon when being pronounced in Korean. Interesting fact to learn! Definitely will come back here for more. read more

This place is small little restaurant, if you weren't paying attention you probably drive right past it. When you go inside, other than the wood trimming, the restaurant is pretty plain with bunch of tables and that's it. You go there just for the bowl of pho. That's what they're known for. The waiter was friendly but the food took a little bit to come out. I guess it's ok. gave me a chance to check my email on my phone.

Best pho in Bergen county I've found. I always get P1. I love how they ask you if you want cilantro and they give you a side of onions with other veggies (crucial for the broth). It comes out piping hot and I always leave feeling happy. I can go eat pho here at least once a week. It's so good. Broth is on point. The beef is so tender. And always get the large bowl for a dollar more! read more

Had to try the new pho place in town! We got summer rolls, pho, and a shrimp fried rice. There were also options for spicy pho which my boyfriend considered but ultimately decided against because this was our first visit. Everything was delicious, and I appreciated that they asked our preferences for things like hot or cold water/barley tea (I think) and if we were okay with cilantro. The pho itself was tasty and a little on the bland side. I can't put my finger on why, but it does not taste as authentic as the obviously Vietnamese run places I have been to. It does, however, satisfy my craving for pho, as I am not Vietnamese and honestly there are not many authentic good pho places in this region to begin with (feel free to dm me with suggestions if you have any lol). The presentation of the dishes was very neat and attractive. Prices were a little high especially considering the serving sizes compared to some other pho places I've been to, but nothing unreasonable at all. I would definitely return! Just one small thing--the cups for the barley tea are very small and I'm a huge water guzzler. I feel like bigger cups might make it so they don't have to come by and refill as often for people like me! read more

A solid Vietnamese restaurant. I would say it's between 4 and 5 stars. The pho was good, but the Vietnamese bibim noodles were not the best. Overall, it was a pleasure to visit. The staff was kind enough to explain the dishes on the menu patiently, and the atmosphere was good for the family. read more

New restaurant on Broad Ave offering Korean-style Vietnamese food. If you are looking for authentic pho, this won't satisfy you. They are currently offering limited indoor dinning and takeout. No delivery yet. We opted for takeout and their packaging is on another level. Like many takeout places in Korea, they seal everything. It's nice because there is less worry of a mess during transport. We tried a bun and pho. They were out of spring rolls already by 5:30pm on a weekday. The food is decent, nothing to rave about. The pho broth lacked depth. It has very little of the favors of authentic Vietnamese pho but I guess this can be enjoyable too. They give you tons of hot peppers if that's your thing. The grilled meat on the bun had good flavor but was dry and a little over cooked. The tempura was nice and crispy. They use the same rice noodles for their bun and pho. read more

This a Korean style pho place with a variety of dishes including bahn mi sandwiches. We had the raw beef pho P2(13.95), oxtail pho (special $18) and the spicy gopchang intestine pho ($17).

Super friendly , extremely quick , perfect spice level. Cozy and fairly priced ! Perfect lunch

Ordered via Uber eats: Pros: well packaged for transport. The pho broth was placed in a plastic bag and then in a plastic container and all the sides/sauces/toppings were separate. Good pho noodles. Cons: lacking in flavor complexity that you'd expect in a pho broth, vermicelli bowl with meatball was mediocre and also lacking in flavor, pork spring rolls were packaged on a bed of lettuce leaving them soggy, shrimp summer rolls had a very thick rice paper wrapper making them gummy and chewy. read more

I always come here to get spicy pho here, the amount of meat is okay, but overall it tastes very good. Definitely recommend.

the worst grilled chicken vermicelli I ever had. Horrible I'm so mad! I know that I told you to remove the meat ball cuz I don't want it. But just rice noodle and chicken? No other flavor or vegetables?? This is definitely not a finished dish!! So pissed read more

Pho 420 Saigon - No seasoning no veggie so dry. Omg - Vietnamese Near Me - Palisades Park, New Jersey

Ordered pickup via Doordash. Superbly packed with everything one might need to enjoy their meal. Real attention to detail with all condiments! As another reviewer said, this seems to be a Korean version of pho, and the broth, while tasty, lacks the "earthyness" and depth of flavor I enjoy in pho. I think the broth starts out fine but once you add the noodles and such the flavor becomes diluted. I still enjoyed my meal but it won't be my first stop for pho. Check it out, it might be what you've been looking for! read more

I tried Pho for the first time in Pennsylvania for the first time and I've been trying to find that flavor that taste that deliciousness again. And guys I FOUND IT! This restaurant is the best Pho in New Jersey! YES! You heard me right the best Pho in New Jersey hands down! Trust me I've tried other Pho restaurants in the area and they don't compare to this restaurant at all. You are greeted with a nice medium size restaurant they offer you hot tea or ice tea and the wait is less than 20min for your meal. I tried the P7 which is well done brisket flank pho and it's juicy tender soft and the broth is heavenly the presentation the taste is to die for. WOW! I also love their shrimp fried rice and chicken fried rice. Their crispy fried shrimp rolled is also very tasty too! Presentation is key for me and they delivered I felt like I was seated at a royal palace getting ready for my royal dinner when I saw my plate being placed on the table. To make matters even more amazing I ordered take out the second day after trying them because they were soooooo delicious that I was astonished to see how well they pack the food for take out and the consistency in taste and quality they truly pride themselves in awesome customer service they are an amazing restaurant go bless your taste buds. Don't even think about it! They don't have seafood pho but I don't even mine I really liked them and I'm so excited to explore their menu! I'm so pleased with this company they have exceeded my expectations and they have made a new regular because I plan on eating here at least once a week ! read more

Pho 420 Saigon - Vietnamese Near Me - Palisades Park, New Jersey

This pho restaurant serves Korean style pho with visually appealing presentation. Def not my style of pho - I'm not a fan of Korean style pho because it misses strong flavors of the spices (cinnamon, star anise, etc) but I know older Koreans enjoy this flavor. Noodles taste processed & the soup is beefy but bland. The restaurant itself was super clean and well put together. Loved how they serve the pho in trays with sides & sauce plate. It's always interesting to see how Koreans reinterpret Vietnamese pho (ie. Pho32). Maybe I'll try out other things in their menu, but the pho was a no for me. read more

Love their take out packages! I've tried delivery from this place twice They're so good with following the notes! :) The pho is a little more pricey than other places, but I don't mind spending an extra few bucks to get quality ingredients and food. I've tried their pho, summer roll and crispy spring rolls The pho broth is nice in depth, but not too salty which I appreciate. The portion is rather large. I like that the apps come with a small salad and some type fish sauce. They give you many different toppings with the pho aside from the typical mungbean sprout, chinese mint, onion, lime. They also include Vietnamese peppers and scallions. I'm not a huge raw onion person, so I appreciate that they dont put a crap load of onions on the noodles. :) I'd love to try their spicy pho, seems very pricey to explore a new menu. Perhaps when i'm feeling adventurous i shall try... read more

My favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Fort Lee/Pal Park area. I love their pho and mixed vermicelli noodles. We always order their food and it comes beautifully packaged. Greens for pho are always fresh and beef and tripe is always tender. For the mixed vermicelli, the coconut fried shrimp is delicious and as a coconut lover, I like how strong the coconut taste is. Grilled meats seem to be marinated with lemongrass and are done perfectly. The last order we made they missed soup for our pho and the mixed vermicelli and the accompanying meatballs were cold. read more

Place is clean and service is good. If you are looking for pho flavor, this place is not it. No Pho flavor. No basil. They give you mint instead. Can't add different beef. The owner doesnt allow.

Yikes... where to start and where to end. Wanted to try this place since they have opened. Everytime i called they either didn't pick up or was closed. Must be because of the pandemic I thought to myself. You know when it was NEVER MEANT to be? Exactly how i felt about it and now I finally got to try it last week for dinner. Overall: Their "Special" is not worth the money. "Oh! (Oxtail price is up! NICE!) Let's charge a leg and give them 1 small piece." Definitely not worth the money. The broth is like any other Korean/Vietnam pho restaurant. I would have to say. Spending $40-$50 on dinner definitely isn't worth it if the food tastes terrible and everyone who ate it gets sick from it. Great job! Should have reported to health department. read more

Didn't even bother to eat before writing this review. Got this order delivered and one of the things we ordered leaked completely into the bag covering containers and bag.

Pho 420 Saigon - Vietnamese Near Me - Palisades Park, New Jersey

I was a little disappointed to find the broth for the pho here to be on the more bland side, but I was aware that this was not an authentic spot. The broth lacked the depth and flavor that pho broths should have after simmering for hours. I was also expecting to be able to order some iced Vietnamese coffee but they didn't offer it here. The fried pork spring rolls were different from what I usually expect from Vietnamese spots but they were not bad! Tasted similar to fried dumplings. Some pros to this spot: The service was quick and food came out fairly quickly. Portions are generous even for the small and regular sizes. read more

The pho and spring rolls are solid. The soup with a bit of a lime is always refreshing and hits the spot. Portions are generous as well.

My wife and I recently had take out dinner from Pho 420 Saigon and we were left with mixed impressions of our experience. We ordered a large beef flank Pho noodle soup, a chicken fried rice and a vegetarian spring roll. The fried rice was quite good, it was different than a Chinese style fried rice, I suppose it was more of a Southeast Asian style and we liked it a lot. The spring roll was also pretty good, well made and tasty. My Pho though was quite forgettable. The soup broth which is the most important aspect of Pho soup, let alone a Pho named restaurant, was pretty bland overall. I know that an authentic Pho broth is a pain in the butt to make - I've watched YouTube videos on it and thought immediately nope, I'd much rather buy it somewhere rather than try to get all of the ingredients and make it myself. However, if there is one single thing that you must absolutely get right in a Vietnamese restaurant, let alone a restaurant with Pho in the title, then that would be the Pho soup broth. Also, the large that I ordered simply seemed to mean more noodles and bland soup. The meat and vegetables that they gave didn't seem to be sufficient for the quantity of soup and noodle. read more

I have been to this restaurant many times. A few times before the pandemic hit. And a couple of times after that. This time there is something drastically wrong with the quality of the food. First the waiter gave us only the cold option for beverage, when my wife really wanted was hot tea. Second the noodle in the noodles soup was quite thin, and scant and cold. The temperature of the soup was not hot enough. The oxtail was quite rough to chew on. And only 1 piece? And small too? I remembered before the pandemic, we were given 3 pieces ranging from medium to large size. The meat was also few and the tripe was meh. They were hidden by a copious amount of scallions and shredded cilantro. The accompanying sides of a few leaves of Thai Holy Basil was a joke. Some pho restaurants gives like a quarter of a plant. Only 1 wedge of lime. But it does have a generous amount of white onions and bean sprouts. The place I can say is a bit rustic. The rest rooms are clean. read more

You can pick your level of spiciness, i went with 2nd level. Pretty good not like burning hot but to my level. Menu can be confusing for the pho section. Only the three are offered in spicy, P3 beef, P4 pork, and P5 intestine. Also ordered the shrimp summer roll, it comes with a small side of veggies.
