Pho 8 - Vietnamese Near Me - Cape Girardeau, Missouri

Really nice restaurant with a clean interior and a good amount of indoor seating. I arrived about 15 minutes after opening and was one of the first orders, though more people trickled in shortly. I ordered at the counter and decided to eat in. Staff seemed friendly. I got the shrimp spring rolls and the beef pho. The spring rolls were served with a peanut sauce and were fairly simple--mainly just lettuce, vermicelli noodles, and shrimp wrapped in rice paper. I'm used to variations that usually include more greens/vegetables like carrots, thai basil, cucumber, etc. Still, they were a nice, fresh appetizer. The beef pho was pretty interesting. The broth had a decent beefy flavor but lacked the aromatics that I'm used to tasting in pho. The best way I can describe it is that it tasted very plain and uncomplicated. I'd probably chalk this up to the fact that I've lived in northern NJ / NYC for most of my life which has a large Asian population and many Pho restaurants. The beef slices were also thicker and a bit tougher than what I'm used to. No options for tripe, tendon, or meatballs either. Normally, I would have given 3 stars, but I appreciate this restaurant and its food for what it is in context. I'm just glad that I can get a decent bowl of pho when I'm craving it. read more

Cockroaches. Cockroaches. Cockroaches. I walked in and ordered food. Upon sitting down at my table, there were obvious cockroaches all over the dining area. I cannot comment on the food but I immediately canceled the order. My suspicious is if there are roaches in the dining area, I cannot trust the back of house. read more

I rarely leave such negative reviews, but my experience here was a mess. Let me start by saying the food we eventually received was delicious. I got a veggie broth with vegetables and tofu. However, service and wait times were a MESS. We had an hour for lunch, and when we got to the counter, the guy took my order, and said tofu would be extra. I said fine. My colleagues ordered after I did, and about 2 people later, he told my colleague that the orders would take 45 minutes. We were like, wait what? He hadn't mentioned that to me. At that point they had already charged me, so we decide to risk it and wait. One hour later they handed me my food without so much as a "sorry for the wait." I had been charged $3 for literally 3 pieces of tofu, and I had no time to eat. The place looks like a takeout/fast food place, so it was very deceiving for one bowl of pho to take an hour. Don't come here unless you have time to spare. read more

Great food and very accommodating of my wheat intolerance! Food was solid! Nothing super unique or special which is why it's more 4 stars instead of 5. It was good but like also pretty run of the mill if that makes any sense. I also wish they had had some sort of easily accessible menu for first time visitors like my family and me. Nevertheless, a great experience and I plan to go back!! read more

I have never had pho soup with carrots and cabbage! Also, the chicken and shrimp were like mush. Sorry, but a hard pass for me. The pho at Urban Kitchen so much better. read more

The service was AMAZING!!! The food was delicious. I got the chicken pho. They provided packets doe sauce (due to Covid). I also got the Vietnamese coffee. It was perfect: not too sweet and it was very large. read more

Pho 8 - Chicken Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Cape Girardeau, Missouri

This is a place to try if you're unsure what Vietnamese--or even Far Eastern--food is all about. The names of meals may be unfamiliar but the ingredients won't be. Pork, chicken or beef are mixed with rice and "American" vegetables like carrots, green beans, onion, and others and often topped with a fried egg. Nothing unusual except really flavorful food in a comfortable, fast food restaurant setting. With reasonable prices Pho 8 won't damage your wallet, either. read more

Pho 8 - Garlic pork with mushrooms and veggies over steamed white rice and topped with a hard fried egg. - Vietnamese Near Me - Cape Girardeau, Missouri

The food is good but don't try to "run in and grab something". Prep times are very long and it is pricey.

Got take out recently and everything was fresh, hot and well packed. Got the fresh shrimp spring rolls (3 in an order), noodle bowl with chicken and the rice bowl with pork. Spring rolls were delicious. Liked the rice bowl better than the noodles but think that was also partly because the pork was amazing. Took about 20 minutes for the food to be prepared. Would not necessarily seek this out, but if in the area again I would absolutely go back. read more

I love pho, and have the pleasure of having many Vietnamese restaurants to choose from back home. I have been living in Southern Illinois for a year, and really wanted pho. This place was the closest so I opted to order from here. Service was great. I was able to order online and my food was ready right on time. They handled the transaction in a very sanitary manner as well. For that, 5/5. However, I was extremely disappointed in the food. The broth of the pho was very bland and lacked that vibrant flavor that should come with it. The fried spring rolls tasted quite bland as well. Overall I was kinda disappointed in my food. read more

Wife and I had lunch, beef over rice and beef with noodles...also split a beef Banh mi sandwich...tasted ok, but the beef WAS NOT tender AT ALL. Best part of the sandwich was the good, flaky roll..Nice people but will not return. read more

Pho 8 - Beef was not tender at all. - Vietnamese Near Me - Cape Girardeau, Missouri

The first thing we noticed is that the prices shown on their menu are different from what is rung up. We were told they didn't have time to change the prices listed.... This is our third time here, but it has been several years. We ordered the Pho's. Mine was vegetarian and the other gluten free. Both were good. I wondered if they add MSG to items not GF as it was a bit salty, but still good. We were disappointed as they were out of basil and bean sprouts. They did throw in shredded cabbage, which was nice, but not the flavor we were looking for. The staff were great and apologetic about the missing items. With all the issues of shipping and products, we took it in stride. I would give them 3.5 stars, but as the staff was really nice, I boosted it to 4. So there ya go. Maybe you will find them to be more of a 5 star. read more

They make things fresh and it's delicious but how do you pronounce the name? is it like a play on words for Fate.

I love it here! Everything is always clean and organized. Food is fresh and very tasty. People working here are nice and quick to serve every time I have been here. To go orders are every bit as good as in restaurant orders. The food flavors are well seasoned and made to order every time read more

Pho 8 - a dog jumping off a cliff - Vietnamese Near Me - Cape Girardeau, Missouri

FRESH and DELICIOUS! We got the Banh Mi with fried tofu and one with pork. Both were excellent. The tofu was crunchy and is a good size portion. The pork is very well marinated. The banh mi (bread) was one of the best I have had. We also got an order of spring rolls (veggie) and fried dumplings (chicken) and they were delicious as well. The dining area is modern and the staff was super friendly. I am so impressed! I live out of town and am also Vietnamese and appreciate fresh ingredients and good food. The take out took about 30 min and worth the wait. I will definitely come back!! read more

Pho 8 - Banh Mi + Fried Tofu - Vietnamese Near Me - Cape Girardeau, Missouri

Drove from Carbondale to have pho lunch. Ordered the combination pho to dine in and beef bahn mi to go. They were out of tripe. Got that substituted with pork. Surprisingly the pho does not come with basil, however they got some when I requested. The broth tasted good. Nothing great. Beef was dry. I liked the meatballs. Overall average tasting pho lacking fresh ingredients. The bahn mi on the other hand tasted awesome. Perfect mix of flavors, mayo and beef in a crispy baguette. Overall, not the best Vietnamese food you will come across, but a decent option (only) in the heartland. read more

Delicious food. We had the beef pho, jalapeño beef over rice and the rice chicken Thai salad. Definitely a place we will return to next time we are in Cape read more

Had the green curry catfish special recently and it was so seriously delicious! Really hit the spot, and there was enough to even share it between myself and my 10-year-old daughter for lunch. Loved it!!! I can't remember the cooks name but she did a great job!!! The catfish was far superior to other places I've gone around the area. Lamberts (for example) is so horribly disgusting in comparison. I'd say inedible compared to what I had at Pho 8! My 16-year-old and 13-year-old also loved what they had! read more

Had many great dishes here, but you have to try the green curry catfish over rice with green beans, jalapeño, tomato and green peppers. It's spicy and mild curry flavor accents the perfectly crispy fish. The batter is unlike any other catfish I've tried. Delicious and fresh with Thai basil and lemongras read more

YUMMY! Thanks so much for a wonderful lunch. This was our first time and we will definitely be back when we are in the area. Super friendly and helpful staff, wonderful pho broths (also a really good veggie broth), fresh ingredients from the farmers market.....This place is a little jewel! If you enjoy Vietnamese or Thai food you won't be disappointed. Thanks Anne read more

With Pho in the name, It should have clear broth. Save yourself $10 and just get a Roman at Walmart. They didn't cook no bones to make this salty thing. Vegi's few, sprouts old and broken, Tai basil not, meat precooked. What is this stuff? It is beef soup mix and spaghetti noodles (few). Bad all around. Those that gave many stars don't know Pho. read more

We had some time to kill and went by to get our Pho fix. It was super easy to order. The menu is small but exactly what it should be. It's ideal for people hat have never had pho as it makes selections easier. The owner came out during dinner and spoke with us a little and explained her philosophy behind the choices they made when executing the restaurant ideas. She explained that they keep all fresh ingredients and have different offerings based on what they have in stock. Very affordable and very delicious. read more

Honestly, Pho 8 isn't authentic. It's not bad for Americanized Vietnamese food. I like the Banh Mi and Com (rice bowls). I'd order them again. I wouldn't recommend the Pho (noodle soup) to hardcore Pho connoisseurs though. The restaurant is clean and the people are nice. You have to order and pay at the counter first. Then you get a number and you pick a place to sit. It has a very casual atmosphere and there are fun canned/bottled asian drinks to try like soy milk, coconut juice, and teas. read more

Simple clean design, simple menu and well executed. We got exactly what we wanted and it was delicious. We ordered the veggie and tofu rice bowl and it was plenty for two people. We also ordered the veggie tofu spring rolls. They were a bit flavorless- I was looking for some cilantro or additional texture. Really disappointed they ran out of bread to make bahn mi sandwiches. I'd definitely come back and the only reason they got 3 stars was because they ran out of bahn mi bread. read more

Pho 8 - Veggie and tofu rice bowl - Vietnamese Near Me - Cape Girardeau, Missouri

Very pleasantly surprised by this small restaurant tucked into a strip mall in front of St Francis Hospital! Tasty freshly prepared Thai food dishes. Reasonably priced and the workers are very nice! You place your order at counter and they bring out your piping hot food when ready. Not really setup for large groups but a table of 6 would fit. The owner came out to check on us and was friendly and nice. I will definitely return here for another meal. read more

This was my first visit at Pho 8. Atmosphere was calm and inviting. Very cute restaurant. I'm sure they have other food there that is great, but I went for the pho. Hence the restaurant title. Pho presentation was picture worthy. It was a nice sized helping. Probably like a medium sized bowl. I got the beef pho. Beef wasn't flavored to my liking. Noodles were also a little tougher than usual. I don't believe the temperature of the pho was hot enough. Usually, I receive a plate full of sprouts, jalapeños, lime, and cilantro/basil. It was already finely portioned in and beside the bowl. Lastly, the broth was decent. Experience was great. Pho was 5/10. read more

Absolutely love Pho 8! Super friendly staff, fun environment, clean, and DELICIOUS food! We always go for the sweet jalapeño bowl (I like chicken, my fiancé gets extra beef!) Today, I switched things up for a noodle bowl and was not disappointed! My fiancé got his usual, however, they forgot extra beef. We didn't even notice but the waitress came over and apologized for the mistake and gave us free rolled icecream (Vietnamese coffee flavor--YUM!!!) It takes some seriously awesome customer service to admit your mistakes, especially when it went unnoticed in the first place. Our favorite place in town!! read more

Pho 8 - Vietnamese Near Me - Cape Girardeau, Missouri

It's one of our favorite restaurants in Cape Girardeau! It's healthy, fresh, and different. We love the food and it's reasonably priced!

I always eat at this place. I ordered a sweet jalapeño to go. I called to inform the staff that my order was not cooked correctly. Staff told me he would leave a note for the cook, they got busy and there was nothing that could be done. I live 30-45 minutes away and explained this to staff. My egg was practically boiled. I thought the customer came first? A free appetizer or drink would have been nice, but absolutely nothing that they could do? I will never eat at this restaurant again. read more
