Great food Great broth with pho options are the best. Has that owner's feel cooking the dishes

10/10 PHO. Recently went to Vietnam and was craving some PHO and this absolutely hit the spot. It's authentic, delicious, and fast. We had our food within about 10 mins. The ambiance was great and the staff was super friendly. It's a little compact, but it made it feel even more authentic. To the person who doesn't know that PHO broth cooks the meat so you took it home and was confused when you saw the bag of meat please get off yelp. You left a bad review on an awesome place based on you being ignorant. read more

PHO 43 - Number 10 - Vietnamese Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Pho 43 is the place to go if you want authentic, generous bowls of pho and egg rolls! The broth had that traditional taste and was very clear, they took the time to skim off the fat well, the appetizers were flavorful, service was quick. The egg rolls were crispy with mostly meat balanced with other flavorful fillings. The Vietnamese coffee was probably one of the strongest I've tasted, a little on the more bitter side, but a few sips and you're good to go. Yes, there's usually a wait since the place has limited seating and sometimes they even sell out, but definitely worth trying! Wasn't too loud and cozy atmosphere. Bring yourself something to do since there's not much to walk around in the area while you wait. Overall, some of the best pho, appetizers, and drinks in the valley with that traditional and authentic flavor. Also, it always feels good to support your local family-run businesses. read more

It's First Come, First Serve, and Worth the Wait. If the Parking Lot is Full, so is the restaurant. We Started with Crispy Egg Rolls and a half order of the Bahn Xeo ( single crepe ) For mine, I got the*11, Beef Pho with steak, brisket, and Flank steak. The restaurant is packed with tables and seating. The service is efficient and the Food is Flavorful. read more

The best pho I have had in Phoenix. Been living here for two years now and I've finally found a good pho restaurant that lives up to my Vietnamese standards. I got the pho dac biet and it was great. We had a large party and ended up waiting an hour but the staff was so nice and gave us free appetizers for waiting. The Banh xeo was nice and crispy! read more

I've had this place bookmarked for years. My nail gals mentioned this place had the best pho so I knew I had to make it a priority to go. I have 40 years of experience (lol) eating pho and I will say this is probably one of the best I've ever had! I'm going to say it, this might be better than my mom's! Broth was clean and flavorful. No need to add hoisin or sriracha to doctor it up. I did the XL beef pho and it was full to the rim! So worth the price. Also had the half order of the banh xeo and that was delish too. Huge for half an order! Annnd we did the pork and shrimp spring rolls. Freshly made and full as well. Now I see why everyone raves about it so much. I don't think I can go anywhere else for pho. read more

When the place has a 45 min wait and filled with Vietnamese customers, you're in for a treat! I was recommended this place by my nail guy and since I was off for the holiday, my kiddo and I checked it out. It was after a big microburst of rain, so I thought it would be empty! Not! Everyone was thinking the same as me. Talk about traffic in and out of here! There's not many tables but when you look in, everyone has their heads down enjoying the food! Be prepared to wait and pack some patience! The aromas waft through the building! I'll definitely visit again! read more

Hands down one of the best pho in AZ. I ordered the Banh Xeo and Dac Biet pho in a medium. As you can see, they're generous with the serving size. This place gets packed quickly and wait times can be long but it's definitely worth the wait. The restaurant is cozy and the service was A1. This was my first time at this spot and won't be my last. If you're around the Phoenix area and are craving pho, this is the spot you need to check out. read more

One of the best bowls of pho you can find in AZ! We ordered the Bun Nuoc Leo and pho. Both were absolutely delicious and flavorful. I've been here many times and their pho never disappoints. It does get busy during the lunch rush, but once you order, the service is quick and efficient. The restaurant is family owned and the space itself is small and cozy. They also take card, which is always a plus. There is a few parking spots in front. Sometimes the lot can be packed but I haven't had trouble with parking the last few times I've went. Definitely a go-to spot when I'm craving a comforting bowl of pho. Wish this place was closer to me. Highly recommend! read more

Highly recommend! We ordered pho, vermicelli, and spring rolls. The broth of pho was sooo good, steak was also tender and flavorful. The egg roll on the vermicelli was crunchy and crispy, grilled pork was also good too, the sauce was not too salty, it's a very refreshing dish. Spring rolls came with peanut butter kind of sauce, very thick but tasted light! Great appetizer for summer. The staff were very kind and friendly as well, we waited for seats for 20 minutes even it was 10:30am, but the dishes came out fast. read more

By far the BEST pho restaurant in AZ! Love the family business that they have there- all of them care and give back to the community so much and spread so much love. Food is always so good and made fresh. The pho broth is one of the most pure I've tasted. The vibe of the restaurant is just so comforting with each of them always showing love. I highly recommend coming here! read more

PHO 43 - Pho Dac Biet Xe Lua - Vietnamese Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I'm very biased when it comes to pho because as a Vietnamese American, my mom's homemade pho is the best and will always be the best. However, the pho here at Pho43 is veryyyy close to being almost as good as hers. They definitely don't skimp out on the noodles and different types of meats, I ordered a small bowl and still couldn't finish it all. Unfortunately, parking is kind of limited only because this place can get packed. We came on a Saturday around brunch time, and the wait was about 20 min. The restaurant is very small so we had to wait in the car. Once seated, the servers were amazing. They constantly checked up on us, refilled our water, and got anything we needed. We ordered the Banh Xeo and the Pho Dac Biet, and they were both soooo full of flavor and very authentic, the same taste I remember while growing up. It's safe to say this won't be my last time here. A must visit in Phoenix for sure, even on the hottest summer days. read more

LOVED THIS PLACE!!! My family and I were looking for some Viet food since we haven't had any our whole trip and found this little place. It looked questionable from the outside, but boy when you go inside you know it's gonna be good! They had a good mix of people, including a good amount of Viet people, so you know it's good. It was packed with a waitlist, but it went by quick. It felt exactly like your typical family party! The families kids in the corner, good music, and of course the cute bottles as decor lol!! The food came out quick and is so cheap! Soso generous with the meat in the Pho and with the side vegetables too which I love!! The only thing is that it gets packed so parking can be hard to find. Give this place a try if you're in the area!! read more

I've been wanting to come here for a while now and I finally decided to go. This was the best bowl of pho I've had. When we got here it was very busy, we had to wait 40 minutes but it was worth the wait. It felt like a reward. I got the #10 which was brisket pho and steak. When I saw the prices on the menu I was genuinely surprised, very affordable for the portion size. The thing I loved the most was that the bowls had so much onion and green onions. The meat was super tender and had so much flavor. The broth also caught me by surprise, it was so flavorful and it felt like creamy in a way, I can't even describe it. Although the place was very busy, the workers there were all over the place making sure everyone had what they needed. The service was also very fast, we ordered and our bowls came out like 7 minutes after. I love when the bowl is boiling hot and that's exactly how we got it. I will say, the restaurant is very small and the parking spots are limited. When we came there was no parking available because of how full it was. I do wish the place was a little bigger and the hours were longer. They close at 5pm but I feel like closing at 8 would be perfect. Overall, I recommend this place 100%, I definitely will be coming back. read more

A hidden gem. The pho was phenomenal , full of flavor! Went on a Sunday in the morning waited 15 minutes. Small home like place. The appetizers we ordered were the spring rolls and the pork fried rolls. Super yummy! So we're the sauces! The one thing we didn't like were the baby shrimps in the Combo fried rice but the chicken and pork. We're just not a fan of the baby ones. Over all rich in authenticity! read more

First time trying this spot, and let me tell you that it hit the right spot. I ordered a vegetables pho with tofu and it was delicious, I didn't wanted to finish it, also the number 2 with meatballs was so good, I also ordered the spring rolls with pork and they were delicious as well. I highly recommend you to visit this place. The girl at the register was so nice and kind, also super friendly. The restaurant it's pretty small and there is not much space so you have to share the tables, and the parking space are not many either, but who cares about that when the food it's so yummy! read more

The best way to describe all the food from Pho 43: aromatic, thoughtfully seasoned, and hits the spot every-time. This place has solidified their spot in being a top player in all of Arizona Pho and vietnamese cuisine in general. You walk into a place that is loved by its community not just for the food but for its laidback environment. The Banh Xeo is a must get if you want a crispy shrimp and beef appetizer. The pho is a home-run with how you can taste the care and patience that went into broth, not soapy like many places, smells of all the essential flavoring ingredients (charred onion, star anise, etc). The "Dac Biet Xe Lua" is the beef pho bowl you want if you can eat a good amount. The Bun Bo Hue is heavy in beef essence and is topped by the vibrant oil layer (which is normal in this dish). If you're wanting something that has hints of mexican menudo, go ahead and give it a shot in any restaurant you come across the dish. Besides the amazing flavors, the service is mirroring the vibes of the restaurant, casual but very welcoming and is like home to many from all backgrounds. I highly recommend and vouch for Pho 43. read more

One of the best pho spots I've found in Phoenix so far! Definitely a IYKYK spot. I stopped by for the first time on late Sunday morning 8/3/25 after a late night out the day prior. The wait was about 45 minutes, as expected since I knew this place is renouned, so we put our phone number down to secure our spot on the waitlist, left to get gas and came back in about 30 minutes and were seated. The restaurant is not very big, but the space is well-used and packed with tables/seating. Our orders were taken quickly, and food also came out relatively quickly, maybe about 15 minutes. I got to try the: 31. Cha Gio Egg Rolls - (3pcs) crispy fried pork egg rolls 34. Goi Cuon Thit Nuong Grilled Pork Rolls - (3pcs) freshly wrapped rolls with grilled pork, veggies, & noodles 10. Pho Beef Noodle Soup - Tai Chin - steak & brisket The appetizer rolls were solid. The pho broth was flavorful but also light tasting, perfect for a recovery meal after a fun night out. I can see why this spot always packed, especially on weekends read more

Pho 43 is the best pho I've had in Phoenix! You know it's good when even on a weekday morning there's a wait. When my friends and I came, we started with the grape leaves stuffed with beef. They were really refreshing and the texture was great as well. They came topped with toasted peanuts and a dipping sauce, which added a sweet, nutty and toasted flavor. The pho itself is amazing, the portions are huge and the broth is almost buttery and very fragrant with the different spices used. The brisket is tender and the tripe is crisp. I also tried the egg soda, which was really delicious and rich, it was almost like drinking liquified flan. A must try family-run restaurant! read more

Worth the wait! Atypical of a pho restaurant in the best way possible. Albeit someone was doing a birthday celebration during my visit, and the vibes were immaculate.

It really felt like a special group of people making special food with heart. read more

PHO 43 - Vietnamese Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I had a really disappointing experience here and won't be coming back. From the moment we walked in, the younger lady who took our order was extremely rude and rushed us. I placed a takeout order and was told to come back in 20-25 minutes. When I returned, she handed me the food and walked away. I asked for Sriracha and other sauces, and she said everything was in the bag -- which wasn't true. The Sriracha was mixed with a sweet brown sauce (which I didn't ask for), and my chili oil was missing completely. When I got home about an hour later, the pho wasn't even ready to eat. The meat was still raw and bleeding in a small plastic bag, the noodles were extremely hard, and the broth looked dirty and unappetizing. There were no instructions included, so I had to call the restaurant just to figure out how to finish cooking my food myself. When I mentioned the dirty broth, they brushed it off and said that "never happens." I offered to send pictures, but they refused to look at them. I asked for a refund, and things got even more uncomfortable. We paid cash, and they kept insisting I give them my card information over the phone so they could refund it -- which I was not comfortable with. I repeatedly explained that my boyfriend could pick it up since it was near his work, but they kept pushing the card option anyway. Overall, the customer service was rude, dismissive, and unprofessional, and the food quality was unacceptable. Pho should not be served raw with no instructions, especially for takeout. Very frustrating experience. read more

I was waiting for a friend so I had just ordered appetizers. Once my friend got there we waited another 15 minutes because no one came to take our order. We were sitting right in the center and this place is small so they couldn't have missed us. We had to get up and tell the cashier if she can put our order in. Ended up getting food poising from this place unfortunately and I was so excited to try this new place. But don't recommend. read more

The broth is classic. It's really good. I do wish they had more meat options for pho. There is a beauty in staying traditional or perfecting basics. But I like being a loyal customer. So if you guys read this, maybe try one option for a different cut of meat outside of flank, tendon, tripe, etc. throw a girl something with a bone in it lol. read more

We're from Southern CA where pho is already great. Every time we are in a new city, no matter where, we look for the best pho in that town. Everyone we spoke to and researched, recommended Pho 43. I wasn't too hungry so we shared the pork spring rolls (3 for $6.50) and Super Duper pho ($19.99). Got an empty bowl and started splitting. It was a giant bowl. Either you're a big eater or it's best to share if the other person doesn't eat that much. The server saw us spitting and to let her know if we need more broth. Out of all my years splitting pho, no one has ever offered me more broth! Such great customer service! Fiancé approved of the pho. Tastes just like Southern CA. Coincidentally, we spoke to the owners and they're from San Diego! This place has been opened in the same location since 1992! We were one of the first when they opened. When we left, it was a full house. read more

Food over everything! We aren't from Arizona so we didn't know what to expect. Definitely a whole in the wall mom and pops restaurant. Upon arrival it was packed! Inside and out! Eveyone was waiting for this spot. So we knew it was going to be goooood! We found them off TikTok recommendations. For our party of 3 we were told 35-40 min wait, but we waited about 25 mins it went by fast! Everything about this place was fast pace. From workers to food coming out. Place is tiny so it feels a littttle compacted and can feel chaotic but when comes your foods out and you're eating you forget it all lol. Workers are very friendly and quick to your response. We got multiple things to try because it was our late lunch. Mainly there for the pho but had to try other regular dishes. Pho broth was on point! So hearty rich and delicious! Loads of onions, which I love! I loved how they did half portion size of ban xeo. It was a little different the way they incorporated their pork inside. My personal preference I didn't like the way the meat was. But it was still very good and they mastered their crepe down for sure. It was crispy! Egg rolls and spring rolls was okay like any regular ones you get at the Vietnamese restaurants. FYI you have to ask for chili oil. It's only upon request Parking lot is tiny but they make use of every direction to park. read more

My favorite pho spot while I was living in Arizona! It is pretty small with very limited seating and located in a sketchy neighborhood BUT it is so worth it! Expect to wait at least an hour if you come on the weekends but it's worth the wait! Parking can be difficult since it is a pretty small lot. It's a family run business and they are very friendly. Their pho was hands down the BEST pho I've ever had in Arizona and closest to the pho in LA I could find whenever i was missing home. This literally felt like a big hug whenever i was homesick or just down in the dumps. I ordered the special and it was loaded with meat, tripe, and tendon! The broth was so flavorful without being too overly salty. Pho was definitely 10/10, A+ *chef's kiss*! It is a tad loud in there so it might be hard to communicate in there. Other than that, this place is the best! Would definitely recommend read more
