    Finished it All - sign of good eats
    Glenn M.

    Delightful lunch with friendly service. They were packed when we arrived and we know why. Had the Pho Combo #2 which includes soda and spring or egg roll. Also had a Bahn Mi sandwich combo which includes CafeSuDa. Delicious food and will try other things on the menu. Bahn Mi Sandwich is rare to find and after years of looking we found a restaurant that had them. The 97 in the name stands for the year they opened 1997.

    Under new management, new menus and also robots deliver food to your table. However, the color of the pork chop and the taste are different than the traditional. The beef stew hardly has any stew meat, mostly skins and fat.

    I went there twice. The first time it was busy and the food was okay. The second time was a little slow and the weather was warmer. While we were eating I noticed a swarm of gnats or fruit flies around the hoisins sauce on the table behind us which empty. I'm sorry but it was noticeable and the employees should have taken the time to clean or cover the container. I had to stop eating after that.

    Ordered pho. The pho was VERY salty. When paid, gave the tips. The lady said it's not enough and wanted more! What the heck?!?!?!.. I never though giving $10 tips to 3 order of pho is not enough! Will NEVER recommend this restaurant to anyone and will let everyone know if they go here, bring lots of money for tips or else you'll get assaulted by the waitress!

    Combination pho

    This not your typical pho place. The reason behind is they prepared according to their street side food vendors in Vietnam. If you come here, the pho soup base is very herbal taste. Typical American will not like it. But I love it. I got the pho tai nam gan sach. It is combination beef noodle. The four major meat ingredients are rare slice beef, flank marinated beef, tendon, beef tripe. Guess what, they don't use beef ball. The tendon and tripe cut method also different. The soup is darker colors with herbal taste. It is very good. I also got two bah mi one with special cold cut and the other is grill pork. $3.50. Good deal than most. The other dish I got is the vermicelli with grilled pork, shrimp, and egg roll. My wife like this dish. The interior of the restaurant need work. However, the cost of the food make up the restaurant need for customers. The price is reasonable.

    Dead roach on blind in dining room

    Read reviews, thought we were in for a treat with the Pho. Went inside, did not seem like the cleanest, but we decided to sit down and order. Tables were not clean- should have been our first sign. Ordered spring rolls and 2 chicken Pho. The spring rolls had funky chicken in it. The Pho had some weird chicken cartilage pieces, but the kicker was when we were almost done and I look over at the vertical blinds to see a smashed German roach on the blind. This place is disgusting!!! I have no idea how the health department has not been called in!

    This is my go to Pho restaurant in St. Petersburg area! Here's a few of my reasons to Love Phi 97: 1- Family pictures - family owned 2- Great price!!! Pho is $7 ! 3- Full of Vietnamese ppl so you know it is deliciously authentic 4- there are 2 Vietnamese ladies in back kitchen making the heavenly food to ensure it's like home-cooking. Best spot in the area for Vietnamese food that I've found !

    Mini Kim Son in HTX if yall ever been. This place is located just about 45 mins away from DT Tampa…read more The food choices remind you of Vietnamese comfort food, so many endless options whether it's braised egg and pork, congee, chicken salad, Vietnamese rice rolls, Thai tea, pho noodle or whatever soup they have of the day, apparently their menus change. I also tried their Bo kho which is the beef stew, they have the mini Vietnamese tacos very crispy, and other options like the broken egg rice and vermicelli noodles to pair with pork and fish sauce. They also have banh bo lot which is a popular option people love to get as well as dessert options like making your own Che. Ambiance is a tight space, parking is also tight, you for feel crammed. However, it also gives that homey vibe like as if you're walking into your grandmothers home.. service was good, our plates were cleaned but they do rush you in a way if there's a wait for bigger parties. Unfortunately, it's a buffet style so you can't have dietary restrictions when you come here..

They had soups in a ninja, other foods were just dry especially thit kho. The banh xeo was really crispy which was great but it had 1 small shrimp in it and a bit of bean sprouts. I think this restaurant has potential just needs professional looking cookware. Maybe add desserts or a drink station. For $25 it prob needed more especially since we made the drive from Clearwater (30+ mins)

The combination pho is so good and the quality of their meat is excellent. The tendon is our absolute fave- better than any other pho restaurant we've been to. We order our pho with fresh noodles which I prefer, and while my husband also likes it, he prefers the og rice noodz. Spring rolls are fresh and excellent. When placing an order on the phone, the service is usually great and they're fast so make sure you're within 10-15 minutes when placing the order. No pics of food bc we scarf it down too fast before we think of pics. Lol

A waiter we've met at a…read morecompeting Tampa pho restaurant commutes there from Largo, and we asked him for recommendations in Pinellas Park. That's how we found out about Pho Lovers. Upon arriving we found access to the parking lot dangerous - The cutout from the street is almost upon the parked cars. Inside, we were struck by how Spartan and frankly dirty the place was. But as a guy, I figured I'd been in hole in the walls before this wasn't a big deal. My wife played along. The good news is that the appetizers are very tasty, and the pho was quite good. I chose pho ga, which isn't traditional Thai, but I like it, and requested it in beef broth. Delicious. My wife chose a pho ga "special dish" and it was also delicious. I have a hard time giving this restaurant and appropriate rating because the food was great but the place, frankly, isn't that clean. Makes you wonder what's going on in the kitchen and what's inside your food. The service was good, even though only one person was working in the place taking orders and serving up the food. Anyway, that's why I chose splitting the rating the way I did and giving it three stars. The fact is there are a lot of similar restaurants nearby, and as I try them I hope to find one that offers tasty food and is at least somewhat clean.

I had just ordered the Pork Chops & I had to get my pork chop packed up to go! I didn't even get to take one bite! I told him soon as I pack up my pork chops to go, I will come save you. So, I go over there & sure enough, he eats ALL my pork chops! Not half, ALL my pork chops. LOL Then, sends me to go get him pasta!
