    P1. Round Steak Pho

    Food is amazing, service is great, food arrives hot and quickly, and the ambiance makes you feel like you're outside enjoying delicious pho.

    The ambiance is a 5. The non working Vespa by the entrance reminds you of transportation in Vietnam- bikes and scooters. There are red and white lanterns and banana leaf-shaped ceiling fan blades. Cute. Decor has rooflines with clay shingles just like in Asian countries. Service is a 5. You're greeted at the door and told to sit anywhere. Chopsticks, chili oil and glass of water with lemon twist are placed on your table. The condiments seem to be in clean containers. I am not sure how the other reviews indicate that it's the best pho broth in Hampton Roads when mine was mediocre at best: the color and smell seem on point but the taste isn't rich or deep in flavor like P** Ng***n for sure! Additionally I figured why another review indicated that it was pricey where small bowl is about $16. It's because this place introduces the concept of "appetizer" sized bowl which is charged the lowest tier price of almost $12, which then seems to justify the small size to be almost $16! I can only think of kids eating the appetizer sized portion. The ratio of meats/protein to noodle is small so you feel like you didn't get anything substantial for the price you pay. There were only two small pieces of tendons in the soup.

    Very clean with Vietnamese inspired decor and very friendly and welcoming staff. Even though it was not our first time eating Vietnamese food, the waitstaff was happy to help us elevate our experience. Ordered the Vietnamese coffee (what out, very string) and both my husband and I had the Bun (vermicelli) with pork. My husband also ordered the egg rolls (fried) and we were very happy with everything! Big portions, flavorful profile and amazing staff... Will definitely return here whenever we are in the neighborhood.

    Started off with the spring rolls, they are super crunchy and hot but had a super salty flavor to them. The soup, served warm (I prefer hot), the broth is delicious but the noodles were overcooked to the point they could not be picked up with chopsticks. The service is good, and the place is super clean. I am not from this area but I am sure you could find better Pho in the area

    best pho in vb. been to many, this is the best! i got the pho tai sach and my friends ordered dac biet. the viet coffee was really good too. service is friendly and awesome and it's a cute cozy place. perfect for family, friends, and more. if you want tender meat, your noodles not breaking easily because of the hot broth, broth so good you don't need extra seasoning, try pho 79!

    P10. Chicken Pho

    Chicken pho and thai tea was amazing! I get it everytime and it's delicious everytime!

    Pho was very good I had P4 round steak, flank, and brisket. Spring rolls were decent as well but not "amazing". Great sauce though! Additionally, not a ton of items on the menu besides pho. Service seemed quite rushed although the place wasn't busy for lunch. I wish our server asked for any appetizers first before entrees because it became confusing. Nothing really special about the place. Average tables, chairs, and decor.

    Hubby has a cold and wanted some pho. I was taking a class at plant house yesterday and this was on the way home so I picked this place to get food from. Idk if it's pho 79 or viet pho. The sign and menu both say viet pho, but google maps and yelp and my receipt all say pho 79. Either way, it was great. I planned on just getting pho for both of us, but then I saw they had bahn mi sandwiches so I thought that might be nice too. They didn't have a tofu bahn mi, so I asked if they had one and the nice lady went to ask the kitchen if they could make me one and they said yes! So I got a tofu bahn mi and got my hubby a beef bahn mi. They had all the yummy flavors of a bahn mi, but there was no sauce so it was a little dry. I added some mayo at home to spruce it up. I'd still order it again though and it was so nice of them to make it for me. For the pho, hubby got the P2 which is beef and meatballs. I got the P12 which has no meat. I still got the delicious beef bone broth though and added fried tofu. It came with all the fixings like bean sprouts, basil, a lime wedge, a few jalapeño slices, cilantro, green onions, and hoisin. We added extra hoisin at home, along with some sriracha. Everything was amazing. It's conveniently located right next to Trader Joe's, so parking was a bit of an issue since it was a Saturday and everyone was at TJs. It was great to be able to go shop there and waste some time while I was waiting for my food to be ready. There were about five tables of people eating. It was a nice, cozy restaurant and the staff was very friendly. I would definitely come back here and order again. I also felt it was very reasonably priced as well.

    Service was amazing. Boba slush was so smooth and creamy. Pho was hot with a great clarity in broth prior to add ins, I was too quick and greedy to get a picture. Spring rolls were perfect size, great to eat before meal to hold you over. Not too big. Very clean and beautiful restaurant, lively and recently released songs are playing. Much seating, parking available outside. Children friendly. All indoor. There is a bathroom, entrance is handicapped accessible but may be a little difficult due to double door entrance.

    Not bad - it was on the priced side compared to other pho places in the area but service was quick & food was decent. Wish there was more options though the menu was small. More vegetarian options would be nice too! Vibes are ok - it's dark in there & they had a bar.

    We have been coming here for over 3 years and its our favorite. We have done take out and dine in. The food is always good. Our go to of course is the beef round steak Pho, pork chop and rice, rocket shrimp, egg rolls, and our newest fave is the pork Bahn Mi. The service has always been good and the ambiance is relaxed, casual.

To our surprise, Pho Nguyen actually serves beer and sake! This has become our go-to pho spot now. But y'all, let me tell you... the broth here is so on point. I add nothing but veggies, jalapeños, and a fresh squeeze of lime. I mix hoisin and sriracha in a little saucer for dipping the meat and basil. The pho noodles are cooked to perfection. I also love that they offer a small bowl option. Nothing makes me feel more guilty than not being able to finish a huge bowl of pho, and here the small size lets me enjoy the noodles, meat, and broth without wasting anything. Definitely order the fish sauce chicken wings. They're so good... a bit on the smaller side, but still delicious. We always order fresh spring rolls out of habit when we have Vietnamese food, and since they make them fresh, they were able to get the shrimp on the side for me. Service is solid, even on a Friday night. They're steady paced, check on you regularly, and we've never had any issues. The decor is simple but gets the job done, and the vibe is casual and relaxed. It's the perfect spot for a cold, rainy-day meal. Bathrooms are clean. The restaurant is in a busy Walmart shopping plaza, so drive slowly... there's a lot of foot traffic and cars in the lot.

I ordered takeout, but the restaurant itself has plenty of seating. When I walked in, I was greeted right away and directed to the counter to order. The service was quick--I didn't have to wait long at all, which is always a plus. I started with the beef skewer, which came with a very small side of salad--just a couple slices of cucumber, some tomatoes, and a bit of lettuce with dressing. It was a nice surprise since I wasn't expecting anything extra, but if you're looking for a real side salad, you might want to order one separately. The beef skewer itself was delicious--tender, easy to bite into, and the slightly charred ends added great flavor. Definitely a solid appetizer or side. For my main, I got the vegetarian pho with extra tofu and no mushrooms, and it really hit the spot. The broth was flavorful and comforting. I added jalapeños and oyster sauce, and honestly, I couldn't eat it fast enough. The noodles and veggies were fresh and satisfying. Overall, a great experience--I'll definitely be back!

    We ended up here after leaving another spot because we were craving a BBQ pork bánh mì,…read morespecifically the red pork kind. This place looked like it specialized in bánh mì, so we figured we'd give it a shot. The shop itself is really cute, and they also have boba drinks, which pulled me in because I love boba. I ordered a Thai milk tea along with our sandwiches. That's kind of where things went downhill. The tea tasted really artificial...like, not something I've had before, and the color was off too. It was also super sweet. My boyfriend tried it and said the same thing. For food, we split two sandwiches: he got the marinated pork and I got the roasted pork. The roasted pork was honestly disappointing--almost all fat. I get that pork has some fat, but this was excessive. Most pieces were barely meat, and the texture was just not good. I ended up picking around it just to eat something. The marinated pork was actually pretty solid. But since the other sandwich was such a miss, we basically ended up eating a marinated pork and what felt like a veggie sandwich. Overall, I think we'll keep looking for other spots when we're in the mood for bánh mì.
