Vegetable Pho No Meat (L)
Danaysi C.

Delicious Pho is definitely found here. The place is huge and usually empty. So great for groups or if you like a more quiet but open space. The Thai boba tea is one of the best I've had. The management and staff here, however, can be very dismissive. Obviously there's a language barrier but they're very awkward about it and even rude at times. I may have had my last meal here.

The food is sooo so good here and very reasonable prices! The fried dumplings and all of the pho is off the charts.

Really good food at a pretty good price, with super friendly service too. No real ambiance to speak of but when the food is this good I don't care about pictures on the walls! First time trying something called "Bun" which is apparently a big bowl of Pho but without the broth?!? ‍ It was delicious!

Food here is delicious and authentic. Don't come here if you're looking for personable service. The servers do not speak to you lol, they just walk up in silence and stare until you're ready to verbalize your order. Apart from that, everything is great. Pho is tasty! I order the pho tai (eye round steak), absolutely delish. I also order an order of the spring rolls. The small pho is all you need!! It's a lot of food! You need to spend at least $10 here to be served! About 8% discount if you pay with cash!

Been here a handful of times and the food is always consistent, quick service and large menu. Daily specials located in back and traditional menu in front. Boba tea is also available at this location with delicious Vietnamese ice coffee!

Delicious Vietnamese cuisine! This is my go-to place for Pho. Pho comes in 3 sizes; small, medium, large. The small is pretty big, you will definitely be satisfied with it. I order the pho tai which is eye round steak. The broth is so incredibly flavorful. Don't come here if you're looking for prestige customer service... only good food. Food is so good that I can't stay away.

This is a local place that has been around a long time and gets lots of good reviews. It's a casual eating joint, in a strip plaza, which signifies authenticity. Located at Gateway and Congress, there is plenty of parking, including tree-shaded spots. You may ask, why start a restaurant review with a comment about parking? Because the service wasn't the greatest and the food had its high points but certain things needed improvement. Let's start with the best features: the chicken wings (and drumsticks) were among the best I've ever head. Plump, juicy, succulent and fresh in a mildly spicy sauce. My friend and I both ordered item #36, Seafood Pho. And that's where things got strange. The waiter approved my friend's selection of a small serving. But she tried to discourage me from ordering a large bowl. When I shook my head, (being "blessed" with a hearty appetite) she came back with three bowls: small, medium and large. She placed the palm of her hand in each bowl and insisted I order a smaller size. I did not understand her reverse sales technique. Wouldn't she want to sell the more expensive bowl? I had skipped breakfast. I stuck to my guns. When our soups arrived, my friend's had shrimp, calamari, scallops, etc. as listed on the menu. When I asked the waitress why my bowl only contained shrimp, she said that was on me, because that's what I ordered. She pointed to a bottle of sauce on the table and said, "If you want more taste, use that." To be fair, there was a generous amount of shrimp in my bowl. Our soups also came with a delightful side of lime, fresh mint sprigs and bean sprouts to mix in. I would probably rate this restaurant four or five stars with a different waiter. It has a loyal clientele from multiple demographics, so it must be doing something right! Just not today.

The wings super crispy topped with a delicious fish sauce.

Really good Vietnamese food their wings with the fish sauce delicious inside is your Asian type of decor, the service here is very prompt.

You might think a 4 star review of a place with pho in its name requires one to have actually eaten pho here. We didn't. I actually think if I did, this might be a 5 star Vietnamese restaurant. I'm happily hoping to come back and make it so. We stopped in for lunch. I'd called first to make sure they were open for lunch and had inside dining. It's been difficult to find an Asian restaurant lately with both. (I've been correctly some of the Yelp listings that say they're open when they're not.) We started with a shared spring (summer) roll with shrimp. It was perfectly and tightly wrapped. It had a nice amount of shrimp. And when you bit into the roll, it didn't fall apart. The dipping sauce was more hoisin than peanut with peanuts sprinkled on the top. But we liked it. We decided to get Banh Mi sandwiches. They have several options, but we both chose the roast pork. I opted for no jalapeño peppers and no Mayo on my sandwich. The French bread was nice and crusty. Inside, the roast pork was thick lean slices of meat. The crisp veggies and cilantro gave it character. I added some hoisin to make each bite perfect. Just exactly what I'd been craving. This place is a keeper. So glad they are back open all the time now. And yes, I'll be trying their rice plates, noodle plates, and soups sometime in the near future.

We came by last night as we were in the mood for some Vietnamese and once again thanks to my trusty Yelp reviewers! On entering we did notice that the place was clean and neat appearing. We were seated immediately and our server Diego was very polite and helpful which made our dinner all the more enjoyable! We ordered the Crispy Spring Rolls which were OK and the Summer roll with Shrimp and that was good. The wifey and Kev had the beef ribs and combo rice plates each and I had the Beef combo Pho which was tasty! Overall the food was good and yes we may be back for the food and Diego who saved the evening for us!!

We didn't have Pho here today but we did have one of the best Bonh Mi sandwiches we have enjoyed in quite a awhile! We each had the Roast Pork Bonh mi which had some delicious tender roast Pork which was not fatty. The Spring rolls that we shared were packed with flavor and good sized fresh shrimp. Friendly service and plenty of close parking. Great choice for lunch!

Food is always good. However I believe it's the male owner of the restaurant, if I'm not mistaken, that is incredibly rude and dismissive.

Haven't been to Pho Vn in a number of years but wow I'm so glad I decided to go back! Fresh menu…read more New popping colors inside and outside the restaurant. We loved the food. Got 3 appetizers. A shu mai, fried pork spring rolls, and the fresh spring rolls. All delicious. We ordered a pho meatball meal which was a huge portion. They were very generous with the meat serving. We also ordered a pork chop vermicelli bowl and a seafood noodle soup. The pork chop was darker than I thought but it was marinated perfectly allowing the flavors to come through. The seafood noodle soup had a great broth and came out piping hot. Would return as soon as possible!

I was hungover from a full day of Sunday Funday with the girls, and needed a good pick me up. I was…read morein the mood for something warm and pho was the answer. This is located in the plaza near the Boynton Mall, so it was great for my errands afterward. I stopped in around 12pm and there was no one there but the service was so welcoming and nice. I decided to order the pho with the well done eye round beef with all of the fixings. It came out pretty fast - and it looked so delicious. It was flavorful, I could not get enough of it. The beef was very tender and not rubbery at all. The addition of the fresh veggies and herbs were the chef's kiss. They provide a generous amount of broth and meat, so I was not complaining at all. I felt like they took amazing care of me and ensuring I was satisfied with my meal. This was some of the best pho I've had that left me wanting to come back very soon. Literally brought me back to life for the rest of the day. Tip: Make sure you sit outside during this South Florida winter weather to enjoy this warm bowl of pho.
