PHO 43

1 year ago

Absolutely delicious pho I've been looking for. Very friendly staff. Seems small on the inside but there's plenty of space for lots of full tables. Highly recommend the steak and meatballs pho. Tried the iced Vietnamese coffee with milk and it was super strong and tasty. Would come back again. Huge pho portions too. read more

It took a little while to get a table. This is an older spot and doesn't look like much from the outside, but the food speaks for itself. The pho broth is rich and flavorful, the spring rolls are fresh and delicious, and I also ordered a coconut--which was perfectly refreshing. The place isn't big, but it's definitely a spot you need to try for yourself. read more

Love at first sip!! It's all about the broth for me. This beef bone broth pho scratch-made in this family owned restaurant @pho43express just took me beyond. We needed to find a good pho spot since moving to Phoenix and now we have found it. This is a bustling little restaurant in the middle of Phoenix, but somehow luck was on our side today and we got front row parking and a table after only waiting 10 minutes . Everyone is so friendly and polite here despite the mad rush for noodles. I'll be requesting this pho from family members when I don't feel well, and I need some healing soup. Today the girls and I ordered: TRA NONG (HOT TEA) 32. GOI CUON SPRING ROLLS (3PCS) FRESHLY WRAPPED SPRING ROLLS WITH SHRIMP & PORK 19. PHO GA - CHICKEN PHO 41. BUN BI CHA GIO RICE NOODLE VERMICELLI WITH SHREDDED PORK & EGG ROLL & GRILLED PORK 43. BUN CHA GIO RICE NOODLE VERMICELLI WITH 2 EGG ROLLS Tip - The No. 10 TAI CHIN STEAK & BRISKET Pho is the crowd favorite here according to an owner. I'll be trying it next time. read more

This place really is a hidden gem. It's a little unassuming building and you wouldn't guess the amazing food coming out of here. It's BUSY anytime you go. Right when they open or midday expect a wait as they don't have many tables. We've had the spring rolls, crispy egg rolls, combination rice and Pho. The egg rolls are crispy and served with plenty of cilantro, romaine and fish sauce. Delightful. The spring rolls are stuffed with shrimp and pork and served with peanut sauce. The fried rice had lots of meats and vegetables and great flavor. The pho was served with SO MUCH!! Meats, noodles, veggies and the most delicious hug in a bowl soup!! Definitely a great spot to get your Vietnamese food fix! read more

First time here and have been meaning to come for many years since I've heard it's one of the best. So glad I went here today to grab lunch and now I'll be hesitant to try other places since it was so good. I ordered the medium pho combo with brisket, tripe, tendon and steak. Also had the cold shrimp (not fried) spring rolls. Pros 1. Love the diversity of the people dining here. Feels like we are in a true city and melting pot unlike restaurants I go to in the suburbs where everyone looks the same. 2. Friendly and helpful waiter (might have been the owner) - tall, young guy with tattoos on both arms. He helped me pack up my pho to go because he probably noticed I was wondering how I'd get it all in without making a mess 3. Pho broth and meat were so delicious. Going to be tough to find a lance as good out here in Phx 4. Portion size is great so I now have two meals from my $24 pho and appetizer order. 5. Hole in the wall from the outside but looks clean and authentic inside Cons 1. The neighborhood looks a little sketch so I'm not sure I'd venture there on my own at night. read more

I've being waiting to come to this pho spot and it did not disappoint! I mean the place was packed when we got there! A small mom and pop Vietnamese restaurant. The food was delicious, especially the pho that I came for. I suggested this place to my bff because we wanted soup. We are from Cali and were visiting for the weekend. This is definitely our new spot when in town. Definitely worth the drive to Phoenix from Gilbert. The soup was so savory. You really didn't need to add much to the soup unless you want some spice. That's how good the broth was. I know I'll be back every time I'm in town. read more

I like their egg rolls and pho, but the vegetarian stir fry (#51) they made for me was gross. They put tofu in it (even though it doesn't say with tofu on the menu) and used the flat, wide rice noodles instead of the more appetizing thin noodles. It leaked out of the bag, got all over my car seat, and was a total mess. I threw it all away and because of this negative experience, I probably won't be going back. read more

Is the Pho noodles fresh or dry/reboiled?

Ive seen that they keep bags of pho noodles in the refrigerator. The noodles changed a few times since 2020-2022. This was completely a supplier issue as other pho places had same issue.. They are back to their normal noodles. I hope this helps.

The space feels inviting and has a pleasant atmosphere. Food The food was good. We ordered the catfish spring rolls and they were delicious once everything finally made it to the table. Service The service was the biggest issue and it was very disappointing, especially since my family has been coming here for 3 years. Parts of our order were missing, including several side dishes and even the sauce for the spring rolls. We asked for a cup of ice and that was missing too. We waited about 10 minutes after receiving the catfish before the vegetables were brought out and we had to keep asking for simple items. It's a shame because things taste best when the food is still hot, but the catfish was already cold once they brought out all the small dishes that came with the main dish. Because the staff was moving so slowly, we ended up walking to the counter (6 times) just to follow up on things that should have been brought to us without asking. It honestly felt like we were serving ourselves. There should be no excuse why service was so slow because there's two waitress and only one other table. The Vietnamese coffee tasted sickly sweet and burnt. After taking one sip, I asked to switch to a Thai tea, hoping it would be better, but that drink was also extremely sickenly sweet. I returned it after one sip as well. I was surprised to see that I was charged for both drinks and was told it was because I drank them, which did not feel fair at all. They even charged us for the lemon slices.

I've been to is a huge amount or like a generous amount of that sauce dividend but I got like barely anything so I was like trying to scoop it at the end, but yeah, definitely funky tasting rolls. The pho itself consisted mostly of noodles and a decent amount of meat at least but with the combination, I felt like the tendon they just gave the biggest chunks possible, which were extremely hard to try to bite through unusual for me to come across I love tripe and tendon the most in the combos, the regular size is generously sized tho no need to pay extra for a larger size unless you're really hungry the flavor of the broth tasted good nothing special but it was a alright meal prob won't come back but I don't think it was entirely a waste of time

So many flavors hit you at once and the beef was so incredible, it was falling part. I also ordered the savory cocktail option (I can't remember the name) which had cucumber vodka, fish sauce, mint, onion, and some other goodies, and wow! It changed my life. Highly highly recommend. Overall would definitely come back here, we were a walk in on a Saturday night and had an hour and a half wait to get in.

Since my last review, this place has expanded into a restaurant with a formal dining area,…read moretransforming it from an already great takeout extravaganza to a place I'd bring my friends/family for a proper sit down meal. In fact, I'm pleasantly surprised by their growing menu and their willingness to better themselves by listening to Yelp feedback. You can really feel the spirit of home-cooking and the cozy atmosphere of a locally owned restaurant here. In the best way possible, service hasn't changed - it's still the same friendly owner greeting you with a smile and overall cheerful attitude. You can tell that they are actively growing as a restaurant and I can't help but want to cheer them on! Today, I had their banh mi pho with a side of Chinese donuts to dip into the pho broth. Absolutely delicious and great concept. My constructive feedback is if they can dial in their pho broth (which I already enjoy) to have more in-depth bone broth/spice flavor and less reliance on maybe the salty aspect. I'm excited to see the future of this establishment,

Visited Vietshack while in Tempe. The atmosphere was casual and fast-casual in style, and the…read moreservice was friendly and efficient. I really wanted to like this spot, especially as a fan of a well-balanced bánh mì. The sandwich was generous and good value, loaded with meat, but the execution didn't quite come together. The vegetables were tucked toward the back of the bun, making it hard to enjoy that classic balance in each bite. The mayo was far too heavy and the meat leaned overly sweet, which threw off the overall flavor. It also could have used more jalapeños and cilantro to bring some freshness and contrast. The bread was crispy, which was nice, but it was much larger in size and shape than a traditional baguette, leaning more toward a big roll than that light, airy texture you'd expect. Overall, good value but missed the mark on balance and authenticity for me. Saluti.

On our way to the Phoenix airport, we stopped by for a quick bite to eat and ordered their Bánh Mi…read moresandwiches. Hands down, one of the BEST Banh Mi I have ever had !!!!! First of all, ordered at the counter and chose our seat. Place had plentiful tables to choose from. Menu had a variety of sandwiches, vermicelli, and rice plates. So many choices, but my tummy stuck with the sandwich. When the nicely wrapped sandwiches came to our table, I we were pleasantly surprised. The sandwiches were more than generous and huge. I ordered #2 - grilled pork, pate, fried egg, and with all the trimmings. Absolutely delicious! Bread was nice and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Protein fillings were not skimpy at all- the grilled pork was not overly salty, the pate was a nice thin creamy flavorful layer, and the fried egg was perfect and fluffy to top. The produce- pickled veggies with decent balance of cilantro and thinly sliced jalapeños! Omg soooo good. All fresh and flavorful! Can you pls open another eatery in San Antonio?!

First impressions: a clean and modern interior that has a calming effect. Not a lot of tables! We…read morewere lucky to snag the last one after a table left. An employee quickly cleared the table without hesitation, wiping it down and giving us a pleasant greeting. He was also clearing plates through the small space. It looked like there was just one person working the counter and he was also helping to cook. Everything was cooked to order. We ordered a BBQ pork banh mi, spring rolls, and a pork eggroll noodle bowl (which is my newest obsession). The vegetables on the sandwich were fresh and flavorful; we had some inconsistent knife cuts on the pork resulting in "a big 'ole hunk of meat" on one side of the sandwich, but no big deal. A few issues for me, which may not be a deterrent to you: The rice noodles were overcooked to my taste and my noodle bowl was missing the crunch of bean sprouts! Those same mushy noodles were in the spring rolls. We both didn't care for the addition of bacon in the spring roll and the peanut sauce was the consistency of peanut butter, but we mixed it with siracha and made our own little spicy sauce. All in all a friendly, clean, and inviting place!
