    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.

    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!

    Over priced food

    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 .

    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.

    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 :)

    The #32 Pho was delicious as well as the shrimp spring rolls. The service was great and the place was nice. I like to come here when I feel like eating Vietnamese. If is my first choice nice ambient, music and service.

    i loveee this place it's my go-to soup place i SWEAR this place heals me. I usually get the small 30, extra limes, and the grilled tofu to start. I've been here probably over 10 times and I have never had a complaint, you walk in and they tell you where to sit, they have virtual and physical menus, someone comes up with a lil tablet and boom you'll get your food in like 5 mins 10 max. they also have sauces to make the pho to your liking, it's very sit and go kind of environment but i have brought my airpods and watched videos while eating my soup and had the best time ever, i highly recommend. they also have a tea place right next door called tea 305 with bombbbb flavors.

    Solid place for good Pho! Everything tastes authentic and the broths are delicious. Service is ok, and the place looks like what you think a Vietnamese mom and pops restaurant would look like, nothing super amazing but good. It smelled like delicious food was being served the moment you stepped in. Definitely a place to come if you want pho! Will be coming back!

    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

    Do you guys deliver?

    I highly doubt it.

    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.

    Is this owned/operated by the same family that opened Pho 79 in Davie?

    Yes

She was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. The food came out quickly, and as always, it was absolutely delicious. This time, I ordered the Bún Đậu Mắm Tôm, and it was amazing. The tofu was perfectly crispy and crunchy on the outside while staying silky smooth on the inside. The portion is meant for two people, but it was so good I could have finished the entire platter by myself. Every bite was delicious. What impressed me the most was the level of customer service. I noticed a gentleman, who I believe was the manager, personally greeting guests at the door and shaking hands with customers he knew. He paid attention to every detail. Before my son had even put his empty water cup back on the table, he was already there refilling it. That level of attentiveness is rare and speaks volumes about how much they truly care about their guests. You can tell this restaurant focuses not only on serving great food but also on creating an outstanding dining experience. The place is really clean. That combination is what keeps us coming back. Whenever we're in Florida, Pho Bar Vietnamese Kitchen will always be worth the drive. Highly recommend!

They've added some more popular drinks like the Basic B**ch which is like a lychee martini, and the Upper East Side which were both very delicious. I had two of each! For the HH snacks, we got the shrimp and the pork dumplings and we all agreed the Shrimp Dumpling was the favorite. It's sauce was soy-based, while the pork had kind of a curry base. We really went for a Birthday reservation. So after happy hour at the bar we moved over to our table. And order more drinks and more good eats! I suggested the Edemame Hummus (again) [still amazing!]. But we also got the Octopus and Imperial Eggrolls. Side note - our server Natalia was really kind to our very active table of two checks and 8 people. She went over the menu, and she was so convincing we ordered everything that she talked about. She even asked if I wanted a drink and I didn't at first, but then she went on to talk about the Upper East Side, and I was sold. For the main entrees, we shared the Branzino which is market price, the Millionaire Rice, and the Bo Luc Lac (filet mignon). All were amazing. I'd ordered it all again. Will definitely be back.

So I jumped on Yelp to look for the nearest highly rated pho restaurant in came across Photastic. The yelp directions brought me to a parking space right in front of the restaurant. We arrived around 8 PM, an hour before closing. We were greeted immediately and sat in a nice table, which was clean and well equipped for a pho meal. Menus and water were brought immediately along with a warm greeting from the waitress. Immediately, I noticed that I had interacted with two members of the staff at each admin, gracious and welcoming. I found the discontinued through the entire meal with other people, stopping by to make sure that everything was perfect and being enjoyed by us. I went to the restroom to wash and noted it to be immaculate. This is usually one of the best signs that a restaurant pays attention to detail and I am always happy to see that they are meticulous. Our order was taken and we were served very quickly. First out was the condiments/toppings. The peanut based sauce for the spring rolls and the vegetables for the pho. We began with Gỏi Cuốn, Vietnamese spring rolls. Traditionally these are fresh shrimp, vermicelli noodles, and lettuce wrapped in thin, translucent rice paper served cold with a savory dipping sauce, often a peanut-based sauce and here they are customized with delicious fresh herbs and vegetables, as well as pork. Personally, I do not like it as much with pork, but had not noticed that it was made this way on the menu when I ordered and next time, I'll ask if it is available without the pork. I will say, however, that is hands-down, the very best Gỏi Cuốn I have ever eaten. My wife and I both ordered pho. She chose the chicken while I opted for the steak and meatball. We found all of the meats very chewy in texture, but they were extremely tasty. The portions were huge and the broth was delicious. The flavorful soups with fresh noodles and ingredients were both spectacular. Portions are excellent. I like mine spicy and the perfect condiments were available right on the table. The Matcha latte Boba tea was quite good as well. Prices were in line with other local restaurants which will somewhat high are right, where I expect them to be locally. The overall experience was great. I did notice that somebody walked in about a minute before the post to closing time and was turned away. While, I find this to be unusual in local family owned restaurants, it is certainly not unreasonable. So if you're a late eater, check the hours before arriving. This was my first visit in this restaurant has moved right onto my list of favorite comfort foods nearby my home. If you like pho, I highly recommend you try it.

And I feel like I have to say this: some of these reviews are clearly linked to exposure. The pho here was FINE. Solid 3. The service? Not good at all. The woman who cooks/runs this place was all over the place. There was nothing kind, grateful, or warm about her as she took orders and prepared food. Her husband was nice but the lack of attentive service from her was not cool. She was very tuned in to the other couple dining but I called her several times (in that tiny space) and she seemed to not hear me. I also have to say that the size of their homemade teas is super generous. However, while I was there, two tables, including mine, were served Thai Iced Teas with sour milk. When I finally got the owner's attention, she frowned when I told her and said, "I just served that." And then went to the other table to double-check as if my words wouldn't quite do it. lol The other table confirmed it was sour. The owner took the cups, no apology or nothing, and asked us if we wanted it remade. I asked for a coke instead. A bottle was $5... five whole dollars. Egg rolls: okay. Def a bit bland.. Served with some weird ketchupy sweet/sour sauce. I asked for fish sauce, which was good. Paid about $36 for pho, egg rolls, and a drink. If this is your only pho option in the area, go for it, but i was not impressed especially once my stomach processed the sour milk.

The place basically looks the same with just a few updates. But it's peaceful, quiet and pleasant. We decided to have our favorite dish, Beef Pho, and ordered that. Our server was Francisco, who was friendly and helpful. It didn't take long for our soup to arrive. I guess 5 years can make a difference in how pho is made or maybe there is a different chef. The pho now is not cooked the same as back then and didn't taste as good, to our surprise and disappointment. The brisket was not very tender but was tough and hard to chew. The steak slices were cut so thin as to not have much flavor or substance. The amount of meat was a little less and there were way more noodles than before. Something was missing but I can't remember what it was...a green vegetable, I think. Overall, it was ok but not excellent like before. We have had beef pho on the west coast many times and it was always perfect. It could've been just that day that it was off. Maybe it was something else like the economy because the place was empty at 6:30 pm when we arrived for dinner. There was one couple sitting in a booth and only a few trickled in afterwards, unlike in the past when it was packed. There is plenty of parking in front of Basilic with wheelchair accessiblability.
