Tara E.

Pho 79 was so delicious! A small shop but the food is authentic and tasty. I got the grilled pork bahn mi and the fresh spring rolls. The pork in the bahn mi had so much flavor and had the perfect balance of crunch from the bread and veggies. I also loved the peanut sauce that came with the spring rolls. The staff were very nice and helpful. Great food for a great price, I will definitely be coming back here!

Ate here for the second time ever this weekend. Got the exact same dish and again I really enjoyed it. On my third trip I will definitely try a Pho dish. The service was quick and the food was very good and I left full and happy. I drink water only and did get spring rolls for an appetizer as well as my entrée so my total was over $28 and me that's a little expensive but it is a good meal.

Nice quick pho lunchtime. Service was pretty speedy as was the lunch. In and out with efficiency!

Listen--I've had a lot of pho in my life. Some were too salty. Some were suspiciously sweet. One tasted like it had beef trauma. But THIS? This pho was wholesome. It tasted like someone's Vietnamese grandma whispered life advice into the broth as it simmered for 12 hours straight. The broth? Clean, balanced, and just a little kiss of spice. Not too salty -- like, finally someone understands we have kidneys. Every sip felt like getting a warm hug from a retired pho master. The noodles were bouncy and joyful, like they were excited to be eaten. The beef? Tender, thin, and basically a love letter to my tastebuds. Bonus points for the green onions and herbs -- super fresh, not those sad wilted ones from the discount bin. Also, the spring rolls? Wrapped tighter than my budget after payday, and the peanut sauce had me scraping the cup like I was on a survival show. If you're looking for authentic pho that doesn't need a gallon of water afterward, this is the spot. My only regret? I didn't bring Tupperware for the leftovers. Or a blanket. Because I could live in that broth.

Overall, our experience is good. The waiter that serves us is very friendly and gave well explanation on some of the food. Since I feel like eating something different, I ordered the noodle with soup (there's a lot of noodle submerged in the soup), with an add on of grilled pork and I really like the combination. The serving is generous, the grilled pork tasted good but some cuttings can be a bit fatty. My husband ordered the spicy beef pho with the chili on the side and it's really good too. They used different type of noodle that enhances the taste of the soup. The spring roll was fresh, paired with the sweet peanut sauce. Overall, we enjoyed our experience there.

Love this place! Service is friendly and attentive. Kinda a hole in the wall but that's what makes it so great ! The food is FREAKING delicious! My rare beef pho today was so full of flavor. Perfect noodles. And the Vietnamese eggrolls are heavenly! Wrap it lettuce with some pickled daikon and carrots then dip in the spicy fish sauce. So good !!!! Can't wait to go back again

A great place in the Old Mill area if one is craving for some Vietnamese food. Their menu is pretty straight forward and the food is really good! The service is good the the staff are responsive. I highly recommend their grilled pork rice plates.

After reading some great reviews by other Yelp elites, I figured it was time to try Pho 79. This Vietnamese place did not disappoint! The flavor of the grilled pork in the grilled pork vermicelli bowl is phenomenal. The pork was perfectly cooked and just the right amount of fat. It was salty and acidic and umami and grilled.... everything really comes together in perfect symphony. And that's just the meat! It also comes with a large portion of vermicelli noodles, fresh vegetables, and a dressing for lack of a better term. Again, it hits all the right flavor points. It is a must-try dish. I ordered takeout this time, but I am planning to dine in the next time so I can try the pho.

Nikki J.

I had been hearing good things about Pho 79, and being fairly new to trying Vietnamese cuisine, I had to try it! I got the spring rolls for an appetizer, which were packed with shrimp, pork, and veggies, served with a thick peanut sauce that was to die for. I could only eat one before our meals came, and the portions are huge! I tried the vermicelli with pork and egg rolls. It was fantastic! Perfect temperature, meat was so flavorful, and the egg rolls were crisp. So much food, we definitely had leftovers! Easy parking in the Miracle Hills Plaza, and service was friendly and prompt. Definitely check this place out!

If you are looking for the best Vietnamese food in Omaha then you have to go here! We ordered the chicken wing, pho and their special. Everything was amazing, with so much flavor and I could not believe how good it was! The staff was very attentive and friendly. I highly recommend Pho 79 to anyone looking for amazing Vietnamese food!

Taylor G.

I love Pho. Just moved to Omaha and tried to find a new place. Got 2 of the 1P Pho TOGO. Just got home and it had 5 pieces of meat total each. Definitely will never be back and I urge everyone to try a different place. Paying $34 for 10 pieces of meat and rice noodles and broth is just wrong. Please don't waste your money

Driving around looking for food on the late night in Omaha and I came across Phó. I do not turn down Phó on any day. Met a guy his name was Mika which is cool cuz my name is Mika. Good energy Good food.

My boyfriend and I love this place, we've been quite a few times because the food is great and most of the employees are as well. Would love to give the business 5 stars and recommend to everyone, but the past few times we've been there is one server there that almost ruins the entire experience. I don't think I've ever been served by anyone who visibly hates their job more. The food is still great and I wouldn't want to diminish the rating anymore because everyone else there is really good at their jobs. This server almost puts us in a bad mood every time we go now and we're starting to wonder if it's really worth it to go back. Unfortunate... read more

Service was excellent. Our waiter was speedy and attentive. The food was quick to arrive. Some of my favorite crab Rangoon. I enjoy the smaller pieces. The cheese to wrapper ratio was perfect. Entrees ordered were the shrimp fried rice I added grilled pork to. I would order this combination again. The shrimp fried rice was very good. Nothing incredibly memorable but the pork was highlight of the dish for me. The Bún Bò Huế was excellent. I did request additional chili oil and added sriracha to suit my heat yearning palate. If you're looking for a spicy-as-is Bún Bò Huế I'd recommend Vietnamese Restaurant (how to the point!) in La Vista, Ne. read more

Ordered delivery. I got a banh mi, my boyfriend got pho with medium rare steak & we shared spring rolls. We also each got a Vietnamese iced coffee. I decided on the BBQ pork for the banh mi, which was quite good. However, the sauce wasn't really evenly distributed throughout the sandwich so I got very little spice for awhile & then an unexpectedly spicy bite about halfway through. I think it was my first time trying Vietnamese spring rolls & to be honest the sauce was not my personal favorite, but the rolls were huge & very fresh. Another one of my personal weirdo takes is that I avoid ordering soup or soup-like dishes cuz I'm not a fan of broth. That being said, I tried some of my boyfriend's pho & wish I had just ordered that instead. I love Vietnamese iced coffee & they absolutely crushed it with theirs. read more

The food is a bit on the pricier side than I am used to for pho but I do think it is decent for Omaha. The portion sizes are pretty decent and the taste is again okay for Omaha. I have to remove one star because he served my order to my friend and my friend's order to me and I started to eat before I realized it. They also were out of the eggrolls that day which was sad since I was looking forward to eating them. I'll have to try this place again to see if its worth the price. read more

Pho Viet

We're visiting Omaha, NE for the weekend and was looking for a good pho place. We decided to give…read morethis spot a try since it wasn't too far of a drive from the hotel we were staying at. We did read through quite a bit of reviews and we figured that since a lot of reviews were older, perhaps there are some improvements so we gave it a try! I do have some thoughts and wanted to share a current review on our experience today. Pro to Food: We ordered 2 bowls of their beef Combination Pho. We absolutely LOVED how flavorful the broth was. We didn't have to add any additional sauce to the broth to enhance the flavor because the broth was already super tasty. Like many other reviews, the broth is a little bit more oily than we're used to seeing BUT we cannot deny how great the flavor was so that's a huge bonus which is why we didn't mind the "oily" broth! It wasn't too terrible. Just a little more oily than what we've seen at other pho places but it's probably the liquid gold! Cons: - lack of meat in both phos. Our bowls of pho had very little amount of meat so that was a disappointment. I didn't count how many slices of meat/meatballs but it was a lot less than we're used to. Several other reviewers said that same thing about this issue, but we were hoping that since it's been several years since those reviews were posted, perhaps things have changed but sadly, it's still the same. - pho sizes: they only have one size. It would've been nice to have different sizes in case someone had a bigger appetite. - ambiance/cleanliness: The entire place needs remodeling (walls, floors, paint). They need to remove all the chairs and tables, sweep and mop everything thoroughly, and then put everything back. It looks like a place that just opened and is still needing a lot of work. - TV: They had a TV that was playing a video shooting game (like Roblox). I have a feeling that this was more so as entertainment for the owner's little ones but as a customer, I thought it was inappropriate in a restaurant setting to have something like that playing in this restaurant space. I'm a mother as well so having my little one there while trying to enjoy my meal and trying to keep my child from not watching something like that was a juggle that I didn't appreciate. We did see the "Shortage in staff" sign at the front of the restaurant (by the entrance) so we are sadden to see that due to shortage in staff, they're not able to get things where they would like it to be. Hoping that in a few years, we'll see some improvements if we're ever in the area again! Overall, would I recommend this place? I'll say, maaaaaaaaaybe (only for the broth). There are a lot of things that can be improved to make the place more inviting & the experience better. We have a favorite pho place where we live so that is the standard that we look for when we're trying other places but we always like to keep an open mind and try new places especially when we're traveling. The pho broth here is phenomenal so hats off to the chef!

This is hands down the best thai in omaha. I have a friend that has tried many thai places here and recommended this place to me. We always go with the pad thai but definitely want to branch out next time we go. It is a little on the pricier side but thats what you get for high quality food. You also get to choose your spice level. We will continue to come back!!

Stopped by IPHO for lunch with some friends, and it absolutely hit the spot! The place is super…read morelow-key, but the staff made us feel right at home. We started with drinks. Heads up, soft drinks come in a can so no free refills here, but water is available, thankfully. I treated myself to a strawberry lemonade with popping dragon fruit boba, and let me tell you, it was fantastic. Definitely getting that again. We started with crab rangoon. Service was a bit slow, even though it was not too busy, but the rangoons were worth every second. For the main event, we each grabbed a large bowl of pho. One special, one steak-only (mine), and one chicken. I love that all the sauces, utensils, and extras are right on the table. The broth is what makes pho, and theirs did not disappoint. The noodles took a little work, but everything came together perfectly. And the plate of sprouts, cilantro, lime, and jalapeño lets you doctor your soup just the way you like it. Lunch came to about $37 after tip (I covered the rangoons), which is a little steep, but considering I got a craft lemonade, a pop, a large soup, and plenty of leftovers, I think it was worth it. Honestly, the quality and quantity more than justify the price. I'm even starting to welcome colder weather just so I can enjoy this soup more often! I will absolutely be back.

This is the best pho you can ever eat. That's…read moreall...............................................................................................................

The steak was cooked perfectly! We were sat right upfront to over look the old market and it was clean and I loved the home feel of the space, very casual and comfortable. Our server (ugh, can't remember his name) was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and attentive. The ONLY thing that was a downside is that on yelp it says the restaurant is pet friendly and that is not the case. We traveled with our puppy and we had to leave her back at my daughter's apartment downtown which was a big bummer. Other than that, not one single bad this to say.

Loved this place!…read more Omaha was such a surprising place for its range of high quality food. Memoir was only a few blocks away from our Moxy Hotel. We were able make a reservation on Open Table. Food (5/5): We had some wonderful food here. We had the following: TSUNAMI MAKI inside * shrimp tempura, crab mix, cream cheese / outside * crab stick tempura, spicy honey mustard, sweet soy, sesame seeds (8 pcs) WAGYU MEMOIR DIP* - smoked shaved beef, crescenza cheese, horseradish aioli, french bread, fries or simple salad Both were really delicious. For some reason, I missed the the "dip" was a "French dip sandwich" - I thought tit was actually a dip (haha). We split the sandwich as it was huge, and then ended up ditching the bread and adding the beef to the fried rice, below. BEEF FAT FRIED RICE - egg, snow peas, carrot, scallion Service (5/5): Server was kind and efficient. Ambiance (5/5): Cool, modern and upscale vibe. We had a cool corner booth. Loved the atmosphere.

I think they open at 5, so I told myself I'd come back at 5 and I actually did. The food was really good, you can tell from the picture lol. The service was great and everyone was super nice. The place looked nice too. It would've been better if the curtains were open though. I like when the sun hits my skin when I sit by the window.

Actually, we enjoyed our meal and service so much we had dinner there twice. First off, the restaurant is really well designed inside. It's a really contemporary space with a great vibe. The service is exceptional (for dinner) and they go out of their way to take care of their guests. Then comes the cocktails, which were also quite excellent. And they have an extensive (VERY extensive) wine list! Impressive. The food is also (mostly) excellent. We dine in fine restaurants all over the world from Chicago to Paris to Tokyo and London and the food here was top quality, prepared exceptionally, and really delicious--largely due to their wood fire oven. I hadn't seen an oven like this since Grant Achatz's Roister/Fire in Chicago. I was very impressed. We started with Wood Fired Oysters, which were delicious. Their house corn bread and honey butter were also quite good. I normally don't care for corn bread but this was a really nice accompaniment. My wife and I shared the ribeye and truffle cava mac and cheese. Both were very good. On our second dinner we had Omaha Farmer's Board, a very good charcuterie and meats appetizer. But the Ricotta Agnolotti was our only complaint to this truly exceptional restaurant. The pasta dish felt like it was trying too hard to be fancy. A parmesan foam on top was cold, brining a nice hot dish down. The overall look of the plated dish was "overfull diaper." Not appetizing. The creme brûlée was very good. Overall, highly recommend this place as a steakhouse with an incredible wood fired grill. This place should be busier than when we went, to be sure. It deserves attention and it deserves to be recognized as one of the top restaurants in Omaha.
