    27. Bun Thit Nuong Cha Gio is so good
    Samuel S.

    Boy oh boy, this place had delicious food and excellent service, reasonably priced and a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere. so let me tell you all about it. The food, as always, is the centerpiece of my reviews as this is the reason for the event. The pho and the broth was so so good and had lots of meat in the combination version. My new new favorite pho to eat resides at this place. My wife got the Korean short ribs, and she (and I) was glad she did, they were excellent. Precisely seasoned, expertly cooked, and plated to start the senses. We had such a great time here, and we were full by the time we left and didn't feel like we emptied our pockets as a result, so try a few things on the menu like we did, and rest easy you won't break the bank. Super high marks and fully recommend this place, as it's my new Pho spot here in the very competitive Vegas market.

    This place is super clean and so cute!!! The service was quick and friendly. The best thing about this place was the pho!!!!! The broth tasted soooo good. The portion was very generous too. I would highly recommend this place!!!!

    Pho 79 DC is an authentic Vietnamese restaurant known for its slow-simmered broths, rice plates, and boba. It is the East Coast outpost of a brand that has grown from a proud, family-owned heritage deeply connected to the 1979 wave of Vietnamese immigrants.History of the Name "Pho 79"The widespread use of "79" in pho restaurant names pays homage to 1979. The number holds profound significance for the Vietnamese diaspora, representing either the year the proprietors immigrated to the United States or a celebrated, pre-war pho restaurant located on 79th Street in Vietnam. In Either case, a lunch justified by good food. As smashimg as a pumpkin sensation in our pop culture of historical events.

    I enjoyed this family-run Viet spot. The colorful decor is fun and inviting, the portions are great, and it is slightly more wallet-friendly than surrounding pho places. I tried the lemongrass chicken rice plate was delicious. The lemongrass flavor was excellent and the chicken thighs were very tender. My only wish is that they would use the typical broken rice instead of the plain jasmine rice. Fast and friendly service topped off a great meal!

    Wow super cool and chill vibes inside! Chill music played and our server was super friendly. I also enjoyed my beer in a glass with ice; reminds me of Vietnam and the Philippines. Delicious Pho broth. I highly recommend.

    It was our first time at this pho restaurant. It is located in a busy plaza. There is street parking as well. The inside is well decorated with beautiful murals; especially of Washington, DC (guess that's where their name came from) Service was a little slow and they weren't even that busy. The food was decent and good; served its purpose of filling our tummies. Nothing really stood out.

    The place is clean relaxing, all the condiments are on the table. Service is nice, and friendly. Prices are good, with a reasonable amount of food. I would say this is top 3 Vietnamese restaurants in Vegas. The great thing about the food here is it's not too sweet. It's well balanced of savory, sweet, sour, spicy. I add a lot of chili when I eat Vietnamese food. For me it's a must. The pho is out of this world here. Clean smooth authentic. The rice dishes too are outstanding. So yeah, this restaurant is fantastic.

    An adult stop for good food. Quite the spring ambiance and beautiful murals on a Spring Mountain kind of day.

    Came here looking for something warm and soupy and this place was great for a quick bite. There was no wait when we arrived, the restaurant was super clean, and the service was really nice and friendly throughout our visit. My friends gave the pho around a 7.5-8/10 overall! The soup came out hot, which I really appreciated. The broth leaned a bit on the sweeter side, and the noodles were softer than I personally prefer (I usually like a chewier noodle texture), but it was still really comforting and satisfying. Overall, a solid spot if you're craving a cozy bowl of pho.

    The quality of the vermicelli is refreshing and flavorful. The Pho was a bit bland with the broth compared to other places I've had Pho but still good! Came near opening time so the ambiance was quiet and peaceful and the atmosphere is so cute with all of the cherry blossom decor! Service was attentive and also took trash out the way! We would most likely return back to this place if we're ever in the area!

    New Pho ownership and gotta try the broth. Decent Pho broth. Had to add sauces to add more flavor. Normal service. Normal ambiance. Try have the rare steak on the side and dip in broth for medium rare.

    Interior: "SO FRESH, SO CLEAN" -OutKast The meat is a bit salty. Overall balanced flavors! Great service. Would come back for the good vibes, but not necessarily the food.

    First time trying this spot and the food was delicious! We go seated right away and our server was very kind and considerate. She even pulled down the shades for us because we were seated in a sunnier spot :D The restaurant beautifully decorated with cherry blossoms and felt very vibrant. My group ordered the #1- Rare Steak Pho and #7 - Rare Steak and Flank Pho! The soup was rich and portions were very filling.

It's one of those longtime neighborhood spots that's built a loyal following over the years. The menu focuses on traditional dishes, everything is well prepared and authentic. Flavor-wise it's good, though not the best Vietnamese food I've had, especially compared to what you'd find in SoCal. The last time I was here I got the bun rieu and it was ok, not my favorite version of the dish. I'd stick to the pho which feels like a safer choice here and more in line with what they do best. The space itself is spacious and casual. Back in the day, I would have considered this a solid 'cheap eats' option, but that's no longer the case. Like everywhere else in Vegas, prices feel high for what you get. That said, service was good, the staff was efficient, and the food came out quickly. Overall, it's a reliable choice for quality Vietnamese food that I'll keep in my rotation.

    A Hidden Gem in Vegas -- Incredible Pho, Amazing Desserts & Hospitality That Feels Like Home!…read moreIf you're in Vegas and looking for some delicious Vietnamese food, do yourself a favor and stop by Pho Viet Cafe! This place was absolutely delicious, but what really made our experience special was the warmth and hospitality we received from the moment we walked in. As soon as we arrived, we were greeted by a server who reminded me of that auntie or grandma who welcomes you into her home and immediately makes sure you're taken care of. You know the kind of person who makes you feel like family instead of just another customer? That's exactly how we felt. We started with the Thai coffee, which was delicious and a perfect way to kick things off. For my meal, I ordered the Bún Bò Huế, and if you enjoy a little heat, this spicy, flavorful bowl is definitely worth trying. My wife ordered the combo pho, and she absolutely loved it. Both dishes were packed with flavor, served hot and hit the spot! But wait, we're not done yet. After our meal, Tan, the owner, came over and offered us some sea salt caramel flan. Now, I'll be honest, I'm not a big flan guy. It's not usually something I'd go out of my way to order. But WOW! That flan was GOOD. The sea salt caramel was delicious, and I could've easily gone back for another serving. Then Tan surprised us again by bringing out some Chè Bắp, a Vietnamese sweet corn dessert, on the house. This was something new for us, and what a refreshing treat! It's a great option if you're looking for something sweet after your meal without having another hot dish. The texture might not be everyone's cup of tea, especially if you're not into pudding-like desserts, but I can honestly say we really enjoyed it. And that's what made this visit stand out. It wasn't just about the food. It was the little things: the welcoming service, the owner taking the time to make sure we enjoyed ourselves, and the generosity of letting us try something new. Tan, thank you for making us feel so welcome! My wife and I came in for a meal and left feeling like we'd been welcomed into someone's home. That's the kind of hospitality you don't forget. If you're visiting Vegas, or you're a local looking for a great bowl of pho and a place with genuine hospitality, put Pho Viet Cafe on your list. Come hungry, try something new, and save a little room for dessert. You won't regret it! Great food, generous portions of hospitality, and a whole lot of heart. We'll definitely be back!

The food was amazing, but what made our experience even more memorable was the hospitality. The owner was so kind and thoughtful, and after our meal, he surprised us with a complimentary plate of fresh oranges. The staff were also incredibly friendly, sweet, and attentive. It's rare to find a place with such delicious food and genuine hospitality. We felt very welcomed and truly enjoyed our experience here. We will definitely come back the next time we're in Las Vegas. Highly recommend Pho Viet Cafe Vegas!
