I've been visiting this pho spot for a few years now; and today was just disappointing. The server seemed a bit confused when I had questions about the types of meats to select from, and the noodles have changed to a fatter thicker noodle - you can't even grab them with the chopsticks. When leaving I asked for a boba tea - I first got taro and it way too sweet. I went back and they were kind enough to switch it to a milk tea boba... the boba pearls were so hard I had to spit them out. It's just sad, because I used to be a big fan of this place. I write this so they can improve.
I want to give this more stars, but I paid almost $30 for this. There was less than one leaf of lettuce total, and the egg roll tasted straight of oil. I usually love local smaller places, but this missed the mark. I'll only be coming back for pho from now on.
Bestie finally took me to this busy spot and I can see why. The pho is the hit here but who knew it could come it different sizes. The choices are still all good choices and can suit anyone's dietary needs mostly. We started with the eggrolls but I found them a little.ocercooked and dry but the Thai tea made up for it and the medium sized pho was still enough to take home. All in all great spot for some good pho and tea. Warm bellies are happy bellies.
100% authentic Vietnamese spot. The staff is Asian, very respectful and welcoming, which makes the experience feel genuine. Highly recommend the Pho #32 with flank, brisket, and beef fat -- super flavorful broth. Add fish sauce, eel sauce, and a little spice to level it up. Great portions for the price. The medium is more than enough... the large is major league size The vibe is casual and college-style since it's very close to FIU, so it's perfect for students and quick comfort food. Definitely coming back!
The place is clean, yet theres the loud buzzing of the freezer at work in the background. There's 1 speaker of music playing and there is good lighting. However the bowls and utensils such as the spoons are not clean. The service is also not good. The employees are all young, in their teens and just standing around like they don't know what to do or do their jobs to check up or take our order. Had to bother a waiter to take my order like it was a crime. The food is also terrible. The broth is diluted and not strong or filling. The scent of star anise was like tossed in without consideration of the flavors. The broth needs to be cooked longer or even overnight to bring out that Phở flavor. The noodles were not fully cooked either. There is a good portion of meat given though. I don't recommend the place.
Prefer the other location. It was fine but wouldn't come back here. I've been to the other location 3x and I think the food was better there. Service was quick and good though.
This was my first time trying Pho, and it was interesting to say the least. There was an odd smell in the location, and the presentation was simple. I did not like the flavor and texture of the noodles. The service felt rushed.
Where do I start. I been going visiting this place frequently over the past year and every time I visit the prices go up. $19.00 for a small bowl of pho . They increase the price and kept the same portion size actually they give you less protein. The portion size was not larger. Nothing was better just a price increase. Lost all respect for this please and the owner . Will never return. Totally ruined my Father's Day weekend. Ambience average. Parking sucks. Boba way overpriced. Definitely not worth the visit or the money .
Best Bun Bo Hue! Very authentic with an option to have it with pork feet and pork blood. So so good! Family owned and run. Service was quick and a great option if you need to be in and out and also want a hearty meal. Drooling writing this and was lucky to have had a home cooked meal. Free parking and plenty spaces available!
Monday late lunch. The restaurant has booths and tables and decor is minimal. You come here to eat and get out. Zero ambiance. The service was good and the meal was served promptly. The #31 beef pho medium was very good. Plenty of thin rare beef slices and lots of thin noodles. The broth was delicious. The seafood pho broth tasted like dishwater and only contained one shrimp in the medium size. The mini eggrolls were ok but a little dry. They don't have hot black tea but they have a variety of other teas. All are around $7 which I think is a little expensive. Actually, the prices were pretty steep on everything. For two phos, mini eggrolls and 2 spring rolls and no drinks the bill was $60 without tip. So be prepared to dish out $. I would return for the beef pho.
I've been coming to this location for about 5 years. Unfortunately it got the hype and the prices for the pho bowls went up (but understandably). #35 is my go to and i always order the shrimp rolls to top off my experience i leave with a boba taro in my hand. For two people it's about $70 but you can never go wrong with this place
This place has been open for many years. Food is always delicious here.. it was my go to my college days and whenever I'm in the area. Great sick,hungover, or feeling great day! I always get the Pho with everything in it. Service is always attentive and caring. It's a cool place for lunch break, solo date, or a date :)

This place is getting terrible. The prices have gone way up since a few years ago and now they don't even give you that much food especially when you order to go. As soon as I find another pho place and switching this is rediculous read more
If you're craving some pho and in Miami, Pinecrest, or near their Davie location you can't go wrong with Pho 79. The food is always consistent and delicious. My favorite is the Bún bò Huế which is a rice noodle soup dish that comes out piping hot with sliced beef, cha lua (pork roll sausage), sliced pork knuckles, and most importantly the silky pork blood cubes. You can opt out of blood cubes if you're not a fan but give it a try if you don't have dietary restrictions! I highly recommend Pho 79 for those rainy nights / noodle soup cravings! They also have delicious rice dishes :) read more

This establishment always hits the spot. Great soup and so flavorful. I've been coming here for years and find this location is the best. You know it's good and spicy when you start sweating while eating it. Can't get enough! read more

Was greeted as soon as I walked in and food was ready pretty quick. One of the raw meats were hidden under the veggies so I didn't see it until after I was about to throw my to go container away but the taste overall was definitely a 10/10. This place is a hike from me but will be my go-to pho spot moving forward read more
The stars are based on the Pho mostly.... I have tried other dishes like summer rolls, spring rolls, and other main dishes that I don't know the name to but they were all just okay. However, the Pho is good. Raw beef Pho with thin rice noodles and lots of veggies is very good.. be careful as to which size you order, portions are really large. Service is always a bit disappointing here, very slow and almost harsh. Beer is served a bit warm... also a downer. But again... the pho is good read more
What a unique and welcoming place! I told my friend I was feeling a little stressed and he suggested this place. He said they had the best Pho. He explained to me Pho is soup since I guess I looked clueless, and I was. Soup? That sounds like a great idea, I said. We drove for about 40 minutes from Little Havana. And it was worth it. We arrived, and I recognized the place. Let's give it another try, I said; and I'm glad I did. I can't recommend the taste enough. I mean, I cant. All I can say is, "Thank you." Thank you for your fantastic service and for welcoming us to your place like family. May God continue blessing your business. read more

I've been coming here over a year now and this place never disappoints. Always a great place to have pho the workers are so nice and attentive. Today I have seafood pho with shrimp spring rolls which was delicious! I also recommend the avocado boba smoothie, I thought I was not going to like it but it is a must try. read more
This was my first place I ever tried pho and also m favorite for pho place so far that I have tried. I have been quite a few times in the past 4 years I would like to say and I keep coming back. I've even ordered it to go from the other location in Pinecrest and I have nothing but good things to say and will recommend everyone to go. I love going with my mom or taking a friend. Such a yummy comfort food place perfect to take someone you care about and have some pho and good conversation. So far everyone I have taken has truly enjoyed it. I went again last week and it is still as good as always. I ordered my usual... #30 Pho Tai Chin Nam- eye round, brisket, flank--- super delicious. That broth is always soo soo good and hot. I like it very hot and I add the chinese bean sprouts, mint, coriander and a dash of the jalapeño and lots of lime- my goodness I'm getting hungry just writing about it. Got the #32 for my mom--Tai Chin Nam Gau Gan- same as mine but in addition has fat tendon. She loves tendon so yeah --all the good stuff from mine but some tendon which she reminds me is so good for you for its cartilage and collagen content. We also got the Tom lan bot which are the fried shrimp (appetizer) its super yummy and the sauce too perfect starter. I have had the spring/egg rolls and didn't find them as tasty. And I had to get their fresh lemonade which is super refreshing. You have to go get some pho from Pho79 when you have time. Also perfect for when you are feeling like you might get sick this soup is also a lifesaver for those days. read more

Hands down the BEST pho in South Florida. Friendly fast service and their pho is phonomenal... lol I won't do that again I promise. Anyway the bowls are huge so I usually don't get appetizers but #15 Goi Cuon aka spring rolls are a perfect way to start your meal if you're extra hungry or just want to try something new- I prefer the shrimp. The cool thing about this place is you can order by just using the number next to the item on the menu. That saves you from mispronouncing the words if you don't speak the language. Here's what I ordered. #25 Eye Round Rare Steak, Beef Brisket - I ordered a medium and still had plenty left over. I loaded it up bean sprouts, mint, Thai basil, culantro and just a slice of jalepeño. I usually look for that slice of jalapeño and remove it once my broth has reached my desired heat level. I always ask for an extra plate and add equal parts hoisin and Sriracha sauce to it. I then take pieces of the beef and dip it into the mixture while enjoying the pho. So good!! Sometimes if I want something sweet, I'll ask for a Taro Boba Tea to go. Throw in some extra boba for the perfect treat. read more

Ordered #34 house special pho with beef, #36 seafood pho, and #15 spring rolls. Well, we didn't get seafood and got chicken instead. Really disappointed. It was dried chicken. The #34 house special pho was good, but the soup wasn't the best I've had. Also ordered extra tendons too (but it was frozen). Everything was packed and stapled. We didn't notice this until we got home which was 20 miles away. read more
The vermicelli was pretty good. The fish sauce gave the dish such a deep and complex flavor and the egg roll was super crispy and fresh. The fresh mint leaves and bean sprouts are so refreshing in contrast with the fried eggroll & pork. The meat was overcooked and chewy, but still had a good flavor. Nothing to complain about but at the same time nothing to rave about. read more

Have been coming here for a couple years now to this location across from FIU. Pho is always good and I do eat in and do take out too. Obviously eating in is easier and fresher too. I do like to get my bean sprouts steamed is the soup stays hotter. Just make sure to ask the wait staff when you make your order. Saves everyone time. I do like their broth as it is boiled with the right amount of spices usually or on the lighter side: they always provide you with bean sprouts, Thai basil, sawtooth Coriander, lime and a few slices of jalapeño. Well for take out, you get a choice of them cooking the beef for you(#24 or any of the soups that include the rare beef(eye round) slices. I always ask them to leave them raw. When I get home. I boil the soup and they lay out rice noodles(I usually quickly dip them in hit soup to keep my soup nice and hot at home) in the bowl followed by your other beef toppings, then with the rare beef. Followed by the chopped green onions & cilantro, herbs and jalapeños. After soup is hot I par boil the bean sprouts for about 10 -15 seconds and top them in the bowl. I then paddle the soup on. It's ready to eat at home now. Add your sriracha, hoisin and like to your preference. I usually will ask for the chili garlic or hot chili oil. Sometimes the jalapeños are not very spicy. Enjoy Pho eat in or take out! read more

$9.75 plus and additional $1.00 charge for a Medium Seafood Pho was by far worth every penny. Let's start with Service; walked in to a pretty busy Sunday, 6pm to be exact. They sat us down immediately with cups of water. Menu is pretty basic. Ofcourse your going to want to go for the Pho! I had the Medium seafood Pho which was more like a Large in my opinion. Note* you can ask for extra noodles at an additional charge. The soup consisted of shrimp, scallop, squid rings and imitation crab. I could not stop sipping this deliciousness....Mmm (they serve a large portion of jalapeno, cilantro, basil and bean sprout to add in your soup) We also had egg rolls and fried shrimp. Not to crazy about the fried shrimps but the egg rolls were tasty. read more

Examining the Vietnamese food scene in Miami, FL while on vacation. Broth was good, but the overall dish was not giving. This resturant is not catered to viets. Cha lua is not great. Medium size was not enough noodles. Thai tea tasted...off. Update DEMOTION to 1 star: Confirmation that thai tea milk was not fresh, not even 20 minutes after eating, became nauseous and dinner made a reappearance. Could not run up to my hotel room fast enough. Upon asking how the pho was at the restaurant, staff stated "I would not eat the pho here, the only thing you can eat here is the Bun Bo Hue." I can not imagine what everything else is like if that was the recommended. Will not be returning on my next trip. read more

I came back to Pho 79 because my first time months ago I had a good experience. Today as I'm eating my summer rolls I found a hair inside the summer roll. I called the business immediate and informed the manager Nina which denied wanting to share her name. Her first question was "Are you sure you found a hair?" LMFAO!! Can you guys please tell me what this looks like? Also, how disrespectful of her to ask instead of just apologizing. The level of unprofessionalism, sanitation and work ethic is extremely poor and they definitely need to get their place investigated. Especially during covid incidents like these SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING! This was the PHO 79 on University Park Plaza. 1415 sw 107th Ave Miami, FL 33174 Highly received NOT to go there! read more

This place has easily become my go to spot! It's so hard to find good and authentic Viet food or any Asian food in Miami tbh. But everything here was really fresh, tasty and reasonably priced. 10/10 read more
Ehh it was okay. I'm Vietnamese so this was very mediocre. Definitely catered to the American pallet. I was looking for Vietnamese and Pho 79 pops up with the most reviews. I figured I would give it a try. Very casual restaurant. Restrooms were clean and plenty of parking. I ordered the egg rolls and the pho, they both came out at the same time. Not a big deal, but I'm more used to the appetizers coming out first. I would definitely pass on the egg rolls. I like meaty egg rolls, this one tasted like it was a lot of veggies or taro. The pho was decent but very basic. Meatballs were pretty good. Overall, the experience was just okay. If I would come back is a maybe... read more

I am vietnamese and I can tell you guys that this food was not authentic viet food. I got the com tam special platter, the porkchop was very soft, and had good texture, however it was lacking in flavor and did not taste good, it had some type of random sauce just smeared over it, the chicken also had a good texture, but also was lacking in flavor, with a random sauce just smeared over also, the short ribs had good flavor. The fish sauce that was brought out, had little to no flavor, just tasted like water and carrots and daikon. Service was bad, my family ordered pho, and we asked for 2 plates of bean sprouts, our server asked if we wanted it to be steamed, we specifically said, no thank you, can we please get them both fresh. When he came and brought our bean sprouts out, one of the bean sprout plates was steamed, i asked him if he could return it and bring us a fresh one since we asked for it to be fresh. He said, no its already steamed, i cant return it. (We asked for both of them fresh) Pho was also lacking in flavor, meats and other veggies were good. The ambiance inside the restaurant was very nice. I definitely DONT RECOMMEND ! read more

This was my second time visiting pho 79 and apparently they're also owned by the same owners of the 79 in Davie! The menu and interior are practically the same and I actually like the mango smoothie way more at this location, the taste is fresh not like they used a powder mix. Service is quick and friendly, and the food is consistently delicious. It's great seeing that there are more Vietnamese spots opening further down in Miami rather than always having to drive to NMB or Davie. I really have no bad things to say about this spot, but if I could change anything it would be for the summer rolls to be made a little thicker. Other than that I like to try to come here when I'm in the area! read more
Great authentic Vietnamese pho. Plenty of seating and our server Luis was attentive. Prices are affordable and portions enough for the next day. I ordered the beef broth pho and thai tea. The food was brought out within 7 minutes. Love the fresh lime wedges, sprouts, basil and jalapeño to customize your pho to your taste. Highly recommended if you're in the area! read more

If you're Asian and want actual pho. DO NOT COME HERE. It's not authentic Vietnamese. Ordered medium house noodle, the both was tasteless with too much noodles in a small bowl ($15.55). Noodles were pre-soaked which was brittle and broken when broth was put in. The broth was luke warm, not hot. Could barely swallow the noodles with the little broth. There was a foul smell in the beef/broth itself, making it uneditable. Also ordered tofu rice plate and tofu was over Fried. It looked good on the plate until I ate it and than all I could taste was the chard black burnt tofu overtaking all the flavors of the dish. Overall not a good experience at all. We told the waitress the pho was not good and we didn't eat it - but with no authority all she could do was apologize for having horrible food. DON'T EAT HERE. We already wasted $45 to experience this for you. read more

I used to frequent this pho place when I lived in Coral Gables. Because I have had a LOT of pho, I consider this place one of the more generic pho restaurants in Miami. If you haven't had pho before, I'd definitely recommend this place as an introduction to Vietnamese food. Otherwise, this place wound satisfy your Asian fix if you are just craving for some noodle soup. I should fairly point out that the Korean beef short ribs were amazing. They probably used some sort of apple sauce to marinate the meat as it was especially sweet and tender, something that I would come back for. If you know any absolutely must try dishes at this location, please comment below and suggest! read more

This was my first experience trying Vietnamese pho and this place did not disappoint! I loved everything from their food to their service and staff. The broth of the pho was flavorful and they also bring a place full of veggies to complement the soup with multiple variety of sauces. I love it with lime and sriracha. Their shrimp spring rolls are to die for honestly. I can't get enough of them, even though it's 2 pieces per order but they're very filling. I recommend this place, would go there everyday if i can. read more

Ask the Community - Pho 79
Have they finally pick food delivery company yet?
Yes we use UberEats, DoorDash, and GrubHub for delivery and takeout.
Do they serve vegan banh mi sandwiches? With tofu?
I do not think so. But Banh mi cafe in Stirling does.
Do they offer any FIU discounts?
We thinking about that on nearest future, during this Covid season , we tried server our best even the cost of suppliers higher than normal.
Do they deliver?
Thru Postmates only, but my delivery fee came up to the same price as the food, so i was disappointed.
Will Pho 79 consider opening a 3rd location further south?
it would be a great thing considering I frequented their locations to the north prior to opening Miami FIU. but this question is something the ownership of pho79 can answer
Is the vegetarian pho vegan? Curious about the type of broth that is used?
I called and asked about this and they told me it's veggie broth so it's vegan! I haven't gone to try it yet but I definitely will!
Are the noodles for the vegetarian pho made with egg?
Pho noodles are made out of rice flour usually. No egg.
