I saw this restaurant one day diving by and knew i wanted to check it out. I stopped by one evening for dinner to go. It's a fairly big restaurant with several places to sit and eat to dine in. I decided on done chicken pho and chicken banh mi (sandwich). The staff were very friendly. I spoke to them about my upcoming trip to Vietnam (already went)and they spoke very highly about their home country and food I would enjoy. I went home and devoured my pho, lol. It was truly delicious. It was nicely seasoned and very fulfilling I could only eat half and saved the rest for leftovers. The next day I warned up my banh mi and was very satisfied. This is truly a spot I will order from again and again. read more

I came here on a rainy day with my mom. We ordered the beef stew noodles to share. We also gotta order chicken wings, and the shrimp spring rolls. The staff is very nice. The place has a decent amount of seating in a small area. The standout of course is their pho. The brother is really good and the noodles are cooked. Perfect. The beef had really good texture flavor, but there was an enormous amount of fat. I expect fat, but there was more fat than meat. All in all it was good. I would definitely come back read more

Definitely a great spot to try if you're hankering for some hot, noodle soup. The portion size was quite generous in my opinion, with plenty of noodle and pork chop in my bowl. I actually couldn't finish my order, which is really saying something. You can tell this is a family affair restaurant, so you won't be getting Michelin star service but everyone was very friendly. We paid in cash, but they do accept credit cards as well. read more

Finally made it back to try the pho, and very glad I did. Perfect dish on a cold and rainy day last week! Lots of flavor and very filling. read more

So my dear child wanted pho for dinner and even though I bought pho stick maker I never used it! lol She sent me this place closer to where we live because I was going to go to Elmhurst to pick up but thankfully she found this place bc I wasn't feeling well and started raining so good thing wasn't too far and on a quiet street off Queens Boulevard. The food was delicious! I think their shrimp & pork summer rolls are one of the best I ever had and pretty decent sized so not skimpy at all and rolled really well so doesn't break apart after first bite. I liked their shrimp vermicelli rice and they gave a nice amount of good sized shrimp! I definitely don't mind picking up from here whenever we/I get my Vietnamese food cravings! It was a small place and ambiance looked nice from outside. Had my dear child going pick up since I was in car double parked. When I called the guy was nice and told me how long and how much after I ordered and asked. read more

Decent viet food albeit pricy menu! I've tried the classic banh mi, the grilled chicken banh mi, flank pho, brisket pho and the spring rolls. Everything met my expectations and I'm glad forest hills has a solid Vietnamese spot to choose from. The banh mi was crispy and flavorful. The pho was sweet and hearty. It has a slightly oily aftertaste, but you skim off the fat. read more

This out of the way, unassuming Vietnamese restaurant looks like a cool neighborhood spot. While dining there several people came in greeting the workers with a familiarity that tells me they are regulars. We were told we could sit anywhere and was offered a cold cup of water. We were given menus which we looked over. There wasn't a whole lot of variety but they had an interesting take on tacos. I ordered the beef noodle soup pho with flank and brisket. My friend got the vermicelli noodles with spring rolls and a Thai iced tea. The soup was sweet and beefy. The noodles were soft and meat plentiful. It tasted pretty authentic. My friend liked hers as well. I'm glad I found this place in the middle of Forest Hills. If I'm ever craving pho I know where to go. read more

My first time trying Pho 99, I ordered food delivery and got the Grilled Chicken Rice Dish. Maybe because of the to-go container, the portion size looked smaller and I was disappointed by the portion of chicken. The chicken was cooked okay, almost too dry and not juicy. My second time, I dined in. The Brisket Pho was exactly what I was looking for. There was a respectable amount of brisket. The service was quick, and the restaurant wasn't too loud. read more

Really nice staff but felt the pho was a little lacking. The soup just wasn't as flavorful as the others I've tried. The bun bo hue broth was very meaty but not as spicy. They give you really fresh veggies to add to your soup though. Overall, it's still a decent pho spot. read more

3rd time's a charm, dine-in I brought my neighbor friend for dinner. I recommended the beef stew pho and that's what we ordered.

BLUF: An impressive Northern-style Vietnamese restaurant in Rego Park. Most Vietnamese restaurants in New York City (and in Queens, NY) are Southern-style Vietnamese restaurants. There are so few Northern-style Vietnamese restaurants in New York that we hadn't heard of Northern-style pho until earlier this year. Phở 99, hidden behind Queens Boulevard in Rego Park, is humbly one of the best Vietnamese restaurants in Queens, and a terrific place to try Northern-style cuisine. Prices are higher, but the quality is commensurately higher. Dishes we've had: - Beef Stew Pho (Phở Bò Kho): $20.25; $22.05 with tax. Get this. The broth was deeply flavorful; one of the best we've had. According to staff, the broth takes eight to twelve hours to make; and fresh noodles (as opposed to packaged noodles) are used in the dish. The stewed beef, tendon, and carrots were all soft and tender. Our leftover broth congealed well in the refrigerator, a sign of a high-quality broth. - Special Beef Pho (Phở đặc Biệt): $25.25; $27.49 with tax. Recommended. There was a lot of meat in this dish, at least as much, if not more than the Train Pho (Phở Xe Lửa; commonly the "#1") in other restaurants. The manager explained that all the cuts are done in-house with fresh meat. The broth was light, clear, and very flavorful. - Thai Iced Tea $5; $5.44 with tax: Get this. Flavorful, smooth, and creamy -- because it's made with cream; one of the better versions we've had. - Vietnamese Coffee: $5; $5.44 with tax. Get this. Flavorful, smooth, creamy, sweet but not too sweet. - Grilled Chicken Bánh Mì: $9.75; $10.62 with tax. The chicken is more flavorful and juicier at Joju, but the flavors are better balanced and the bread is better here. The daikon and mayonnaise could be a little more tart. - Crab Spring Rolls (Nem Cua Bể): $9.25; $10.07 with tax. An uncommon offering in Queens, try it. - Green Papaya Salad with Shrimp (Gỏi Đu Đủ Tôm): $12.75; $13.88 with tax. A good version, with fresh shrimp. The manager recommended pouring the sauce onto the dish, instead of dipping food into the sauce. Logistics and Other: Menus are accessed online via QR code, but new printed menus should be available in a few weeks. There are two well-maintained restrooms in the basement, down a steep flight of stairs -- watch your head, as the clearing height is low. The restrooms are European style in that the hand sinks are outside of the restrooms. The blue LED tube lights in the restaurant might cause some blue and purple fringing in your photographs. Suggested tips are based on pre-tax subtotals, and start at 18%. There is a 4% cash discount. read more

We love supporting local small businesses so we had to try Pho 99 when I saw it on a local Facebook group. A Viet restaurant serving noodle soup is much needed in this area so we were very excited to try this spot. Parking isn't too bad on a Sunday and there were several spots in the area. Upon entering the restaurant, it's long with a few tables. It's not the cleanest as there were tables unattended, seats with food remnants and floor was a bit messy. A random fly flying around. I'll give it a pass as they're still fairly new but hoping that gets cleaned up soon. Waiter had great memory as we ordered four dishes. The food came out in surprisingly great time for a new restaurant. It was all hot and fresh, too. Utensils were pretty and large. Beef flank pho - can't go to a Viet restaurant without trying this. As others have mentioned, this is an authentic spot and their food may be a bit different from what other Viet/Chinese restaurants make. Their broth was clean and flavorful, light on MSG as I wasn't desperately thirsty after the meal. More black pepper in the soup and a bit sweeter. The noodles are wider and appeared handmade. Very fresh, great broth, and nice thin beef flank. Quite delicious. Grilled chicken banh mi - also can't go to a Viet spot without trying their sandwiches. This is what I'm talking about! Classic! Bread was nicely toasted (without cracking your mouth) with a slight crunch and fresh soft bread on the inside. Chicken was great and light sauce made it an enjoyable sandwich. Nicely done and a great price - can't beat that! Grilled pork chop - different from what I'm used to but guess this is the more authentic way. Not bad and I like that the meat was already cut up for us. Vermicelli spring roll - not bad! Their spring rolls are also different from what those chain restaurants make but I liked that it wasn't double fried and the filling was authentic and what Viet food is known for. I'm happy this place is here. Likely to do takeout next time versus sit-down. Grab a couple of sandwiches and pho and I'll be a happy camper. Pho prices are slightly higher but I assume it's attributed to the love that goes into the broth. read more

I dropped in for a bahn mi (to go) that didn't disappoint. It's easy for this sandwich to become a soggy mess due to the ingredients, but the baguette at Pho 99 kept it crunchy and tasty. On my next visit I'm ask for less mayonnaise, but only because it's one of my preferences. read more

3.5 and rounded up since they have just opened within the last couple weeks and are probably working out some kinks. Was visiting friends and got takeout from here for a simple dinner--it's a bit tough since their location is on a side street so not as much foot traffic compared to being located on Queens Blvd, though my friend expressed a) they tried the pho there before and it's pretty decent, b) hopefully they are here to stay as there's no other Vietnamese restaurants in the neighborhood. We called and ordered banhmis and food was ready within 10 minutes. The storefront is simple, a couple dozen seats with a counter and kitchen in the back. Smooth pickup. I tried two of the banhmi, on both the bread was good, crispy on the outside and enough of stand up to holding the ingredients on the inside. - traditional banhmi $10.25: this was my preference, good level of savory flavor from the mix of pork roll, pork belly and pate, moderate amount of fillings, my friend didn't include cilantro in this (and as a cilantro lover) I thought the sandwich could've benefited from that brightness. - grilled pork chop banhmi $9.75: the meat was lightly marinated and in my opinion could've used a bit more marinade, and maybe a stronger pickled/vinegar flavor from the daikon and carrots to bring out the flavor of the other components. Also there were minimal cucumbers in my sandwich, not sure if that was intentional. Street parking is available though not plentiful in this area. A few blocks down the street from one of the exits of the 67th Avenue subway stop. read more

The plain pho from here is absolutely delicious. I got the vermicelli bowl with pork today, it's ok. The prices went up so it was $18. The portion is pretty big. There was a ton of pork. Like a surprisingly large amount. My only complaint is the packaging. It came in a bowl layered and it was really hard to eat everything together. They should put the greens in a separate bag like they do with the pho read more

Was in Queens and wanted Vietnamese but didn't want to go to Elmhurst - this fitted the bill! We didn't know it'd be so hard to find parking in the area though, but that's another story... The place is kind of no frills with simple decor, but we were happy with the food. Didn't get to try their pho broth but we liked their version of bun bo hue (not spicy but fragrant). Everything else was also satisfactory. Service was great. read more

Saw someone on my feed post about this and it's a new establishment so I had to try. Bit underwhelming to say the least and priced higher than other pho spots for what you get. Pho with beef tendon Pho with beef stew Summer rolls I didn't love my classic pho.. it was missing flavour I guess and felt a bit plain but pho broth is suppose to be clear so I dunno. There are other places I'd rather go for this. Pho with beef stew.. meat was tender but it's not something that stood out? Usually the broth is suppose to be a deeper red colour with more tomatoes but it felt kinda lacking. Summer rolls - they used spring mix or some other type of bitter veggies for this but it didn't mix well. Restaurant wasn't particularly busy but no one came around to refill our water either. Staff were nice and welcoming though. Maybe they're just ironing out the logistic but i am returning to a classic fav pho spot next time I crave something warm and soupy. read more

Was looking for a solid neighborhood pho spot and this was it! Great service and zero wait time. Our food came out fresh and hot. My party got the beef pho, and our waitress mentioned their broth is made in the Northern Vietnamese style, so not overly bold in flavor. Honestly, I thought it tasted great, and I really liked that they used the white flat noodles. Only wish they had chicken pho on the menu. We also tried the beef summer roll, which was fresh and tasty. Definitely planning to come back to try more items, they also have bánh mì sandwiches that sound amazing. read more

Nice local spot if you are craving Vietnamese food and you don't want to travel to Manhattan but probably not the best in my opinion. I would still try the others items on the menu to see if it fits more to my palette. read more

I usually don't write reviews, but we had a disappointing experience here. My partner and I came in around 5:50 PM and placed our order by about 5:55. About seven minutes later, a staff member came over and re-entered our order, which we didn't mind at all. However, we were essentially the only customers in the restaurant (besides one couple who had already finished eating), and we didn't receive our pho until about 6:35 PM -- about a 35-40 minute wait. In my experience, pho is usually prepared fairly quickly since the broth is already made. I did notice that several online delivery orders were being prepared and seemed to be prioritized ahead of dine-in customers. I completely understand that delivery is part of the business, but it felt frustrating to wait that long when the dining room was empty. We also scanned the QR code on the table which said that leaving a review would get us a free drink, but when we asked about it we were told that promotion was no longer available. It would have been nice if something small like that had been offered after such a long wait, as it probably would have helped make the experience feel a bit better. The food itself was fine, but the long wait and lack of communication made the overall experience disappointing. read more

Pho 99 - Flank & Brisket Pho/ Pho Tai Chin and Thai ice tea. Very homey vibe. Pho was amazing ‍ - Vietnamese Near Me - Rego Park, New York

Pork chop was tender and flavorful, though perhaps somewhat odd in presentation already cut alongside the rice. Fish sauce wasn't as umami rich and pungent as expected and felt somewhat reined in. The chicken rolls were somewhat imbalanced by the volume of lettuce relative to amount of vermicelli, while the chicken was a bit bland. Peanut sauce was a bit thin and too mild. read more

Pho99 is one of the newest family owned restaurants in Rego Park. I had an amazing Grilled Chicken Banh Mi Sandwich. It was flavorsome and mouthwatering , the grilled chicken was perfectly seasoned and paired with fresh julienne pickled carrots, daikon and cucumbers in a fresh italian style bread with a touch of their homemade Mayo sauce, topped with cilantro. It was delicious. In addition to my sandwich I couldn't wait to try their authentic Vietnamese Iced Coffee, it was delicious. Can't wait to try many of their menu items soon. I highly recommend this restaurant. They were very friendly and inviting. read more

I just discovered this new gem in Rego Park this past week. My first visit, I tried the Pho with Flank & Brisket, per the staff recommendation. Hail to (whatever deity you pray), I've been reborn and found my NEW #1 pho in New York City. The broth was so clean tasting, and yet, so so rich. Woof. The richness comes from the fat of the beef that has been rendered for many hours to product this liquid gold. I can totally see how some people may not like the pho broth here at Pho 99. But this is "oily" in a great way! (If you want to know what "oily"-in-a-bad-way pho broth is like, go to Pho Bang in Flushing. Ugh.) The staff said they make their pho in Northern Viet / Hanoi style... which is different from what most Vietnamese restaurants serve, Southern Viet / Saigon style. So if you want to try something a little different with your typical Viet dishes, come check out Pho 99! read more

I went to Pho 99 and pretty much ordered most of the menu, or at least a lot of it. The restaurant is run by Vietnamese people, and they are still finishing up the place. The staff were nice, and the food was good. Not great, but it'll do since the prices were reasonable except the Beef Pho special. $26 bucks is a lot for pho. The pho broth wasn't bad, but it was a bit oily. The spring rolls were served with fish sauce instead of peanut sauce, which was disappointing to me. The fish sauce (nuoc cham) was a tad too sweet for my liking. I had the pork chop dish with rice, but the meat was dry. The banh mi was okay. Overall, it's fine for a quick bite, but I hope they work on a few things. The place is small but clean and I hope they add a Vietnamese dessert to their menu. Che 3 Mau would be great! read more

This is a new family owned restaurant in Rego Park and I think it's amazing! The place is medium sized, has about 8 tables. I've been here twice, once had the pho and once the bun Bo hue. Both were amazing! Do note the pho is more northern style with thicker noodles, as they make them fresh every morning. Crab cakes were a little small for the price, but the flavors were delicious and reminded me of home. The Vietnamese coffee is also amazing, would drink one every day if I could! Nice addition to the neighborhood, as it is lacking in viet food. Would recommend coming here and trying for yourself as it has a very authentic feel! read more

Wow! Amazing food here. Definitely a must try! I ordered the Beef Special Pho, Fried Pork Spring Rolls, and wife had the Beef stew. Fried pork spring rolls were super fresh. Probably the freshest spring rolls I've ever had. Super crispy and hot! The beef special pho had all of the meat you could probably ask. Broth tastes super clean and tasty. The speciality of this place is the noodles in the pho. Wow! The noodles are special and not your typical noodles and are made in-house. The food is made with care and it truly shows. I've ordered take out multiple times, but it was my first time dining in and it was a great experience. Definitely throwing this place into my rotation of restaurants to eat from. read more
