First of all, I made the mistake of trying another PHO restaurant because Pho 99 was closed on Sunday- Let me tell you, don't do it- Between how fresh the broth and veggies come out, to how CLEAN Pho 99 is not to mention the hospitality here. I won't go anywhere else for Pho at this point- I can not say enough about my experiences here. I am an addict now and go at least 2 times a week. read more

I always come to this place after a long day at work and sit at the bar. Staff is always very friendly and food is always amazing. I would definitely recommend this place and say it's the best pho place in Sarasota. read more

Real authentic Vietnamese food owned by a couple from NJ/NY! Nice casual interior. They serve wine, sake, & beer. As it was lunch, I opted to eat light with a shrimp papaya salad. Delish! Serves with vinegar on the side & I was given a variety of hot sauces. The salad was crisp & light & full of flavor. The place was very busy on a Tuesday at 11:30! Saw other tables enjoying noodle dishes that I will try next time. Plenty of parking & service was excellent! Definitely going back! Truly an authentic place! read more

Had a great dinner here on a cold day (the pho hit the spot!). I didn't make a reservation which was fine since the restaurant was only half full when I arrived on a Monday evening around 6pm. The owner is very friendly; he went around to each table and chatted with us. Our server was also so sweet and helpful. I ordered the beef pho with tripe and sliced rare beef; the broth was incredible!!! So flavorful that I didn't need to add any hoisin or sriracha. I also ordered the shrimp spring roll which was tasty as well. They also had a great playlist. I would say there's about 10-15 tables and then bar seating. You can also order for pickup which I saw a couple customers doing. read more

Great little local chain of Vietnamese fare. Stop by here to get my Vietnamese fix and was not disappointed. Service was quick and food was good. Cute little place that was decorated with a fast casual vibe. I ordered the broken rice with pork. Pork was tender and flavorful. Definitely got my fix for my trip! read more

My brother & I were ready for an early lunch before noon. Pho 99 was on the corner and he said, "that's my regular place." And "Best Pho in Sarasota". I whole heartedly agree. Great and attentive service. While we sat there Pho 99 filled up with regulars. The word is out. I love the setting, comfortable, quiet, and easy to get around. Our food came. My brother got a Vietnamese soup, wonderfully rich and spiced. I got a mango shrimp salad that was rich flavors and I added chili pepper sauce so I was happy with the experience over all. I highly recommend popping in to Pho 99. They fill up quick. read more

10 out of 10 Bravo! One of the very best restaurants in town. Fantastic food! Clean and inviting! Well done !! read more

Outstanding mom and pop restaurant. The Phos are amazing and we always feel welcome. We keep coming back.

Delicious pho soup, chicken broth with wonton, yum, but I like it with clear rice noodles, not the yellow wheat noodles. And their summer rolls are good. Wish their hours were better though.. read more

This place is the real deal. It's super clean, the staff is friendly, and the food is delicious. The egg rolls are the most addictive I've ever had--the pork and shrimp wrapped in lettuce and dipped in fish sauce are a life changer. I've never had a bad meal here. They should have a two-hour wait. I wish they were on door dash. read more

Excellent, excellent and more excellent!!!!! First time having Vietnamese food and one member of our family said, ....." we've gotta come here at least once a week." read more

Food was jammed with flavor, and not spicy which I truly appreciated. Both the beef and pork were perfectly cooked. Egg rolls are a perfect appetizer also generous with flavor and a portion of 5 is great for 2. Service is friendly, inviting, and relaxing. Menu is helpful with ingredients listed. Some pictures would be helpful but honestly just asking the server was great. This is clearly a family run business with a loyal clientele. Servers take time to meet you and help you understand the menu. Great experience and will definitely be back soon. The prices are reasonable and the service was very attentive. read more

The food is always very delicious and fresh and authentic! I love this place! The service is very friendly and we're very kind to my service dog providing a water bowl and a kind gift of cooked beef. It's got outdoor seating that I love to people watch and see the nice cars drive by. Very nice place with amazing Pho. read more

Amazing service, amazing food. The staff and the owner are very nice. The food was above average.

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G Food, Service, and Ambience! We were greeted so warmly. We actually hadn't had the best day, so their service did a lot to restore our moods. The food did all the rest. We also had the Vietnamese Lemonade. We didn't try the Boba but there was a steady flow of foot traffic for them from what we could see. This go round we tried a variety of things from the appetizer menu. Vietnamese Egg rolls, Spring Rolls, Pork Belly Bao, and Krab Rangoon. We will definitely be coming back here. read more

Ordered for pickup the 4pc Vietnamese Rolls and Lemongrass Pork Vermicelli. The rolls were decent however I think I messed up on the Vermicelli; wanted something with broth to help with my cold. Wish it stated whether there was broth or not. read more

My first experience eating Vietnamese food and they did not disappoint! The Crab Rangoons were the best I have ever eaten. The sauce with them is amazing and I have NEVER eaten sauce with crab Rangoons. I also got the Pork with noodles which was also amazing!! Highly recommend this restaurant!!!. The service was spot on! Very attentive and informative. Perfect! The ambience is very impressive, in fact I commented when we walked in about how cute it was. Wish I had thought to take pictures food! read more

Haha! I will definitely be back when I'm in the area! read more

Pho 99 - Pho with rare flank and meatballs - Vietnamese Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

We've been here a few times but haven't taken time to write a review yet The food is really good and the people that work there are very kind. Everything we've ever tried was delicious. But please be patient and kind because it is difficult to find employees in the service industry right now so tonight was a little shortstaffed but the employees were working extremely hard to try and keep up and kept a very positive attitude. Seeing their hard work and positive attitude makes me want to go back even if the service takes a little bit longer because these types of businesses need our support especially in times like this. Support your local businesses and be patient and kind to your service industry employees. The food was too good to get a picture of everything. I'm only adding one picture of the first appetizer. It's the only one I took because I was too busy eating the delicious food. We will be back to enjoy another meal here very soon. read more

very disappointed the spring rolls were all lettuce and noodles the shrimp was cut so paper thin that in you couldn't taste it . there was no carrots, cilantro. there was no mint, barely a basil leaf. the roll was so skinny! I expected this to be a traditional roll. I have ordered rolls in the past here but this was by far the worse attempt of a spring roll. I basically paid for two orders of rice paper and noodles. They bulked the rolls up with lettuce. Horrible!!!! read more

Love this place friends took us to. The Bun with grilled shrimp and noodles and top off with an egg roll. Yum!

Nice change from the pizza and burger places for a quick casual dinner. Service was excellent and food came quickly, even though they were very busy on a Weekend night. Enjoyed the pho and the rice noodle dishes. The wonton soups are good. Spring rolls were fresh and tasty. Location is convenient along a major thoroughfare. Parking lot is around the restaurant. There are outside tables. We would eat here again on a return trip to the Sarasota area. read more

I had spring rolls and vermicelli bowl with shrimp. Both well done because of the excellent sauces. Service was great but it wasn't busy. Two on the floor handled the lunch crowd easily. I'd come back read more

Took my friend out here to show her how delicious,fresh and healthy is Thai food. We ordered fresh spring rolls with shrimp. It was mostly lettuce,no cilantro,sweet basil or lemon grass.....it tasted lettuce wrapped in rice wrap. She wasn't too impressed,needless to say. I ordered papaya salad with shrimp.It was,fresh,crispy and delicious. My friend ordered a beef soup she didn't lik it. We both ordered boba tea as dessert-that was the crown for our thai food experience. We both loved that! I usually go to a family owned little Thai restaurant near my house so I guess I have high expectations of how thai food should taste.... read more

Very good food I read through quite a few of the reviews and overwhelmingly the Yelpers liked the food. I did too. I don't know much about the cuisine, but the beef slices wrapped around onion in the Grilled Beef dish had very good flavor and was a good choice for me this evening. The quite slippery vermicelli noodles were a challenge and I wasn't even trying to use chopsticks, which would have been a total fail. Got through it, as well as the side of salad. Portion size was fine for dinner. My visit to Pho 99 was quick and easy. I called ahead and picked up the food to go, which was ready when they said it would be. It wasn't long after they opened so not many seated customers, but I did notice a few takeaway bags. They may do a good carryout business in addition to dining in. My brief interactions with the staff went very well. read more

These negative reviews are just flukes so don't be deterred. I ordered online and everything came out perfect. I loved the Avacado spring rolls changing the dipping sauce to peanut, I could eat these daily, seem pretty healthy as well. My son had the lemongrass pork with rice, delish! Pork was grilled, salty and tender, good flavor. I am saving my chicken pho with extra veggies for tomorrow. I'm so happy I tried this place, they were not busy at 7pm Thursday offseason, woman that served me was extremely kind. Will be back regularly. read more

One of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants in this area! I have a hard time straying from the vermicelli noodle bowls because they are just so good. The pork is tender, juicy, and flavorful + the egg rolls and veggies add that perfect crunch. Try the boba tea! My favorite is the almond flavor, but taro is also delicious. read more

If you want to get food poisoning, I suggest eating at this restaurant. We ordered a large bowl of pho and wonton noodle soup. We had to send the wonton soup back 3 times. First time the noodles where undercooked and the broth was only warm. 2nd time they served the soup without any wontons. 3rd time they gave us raw wontons as in completely raw pork in the wonton (see picWe actually drank the soup and hope we don't come down with food poisoning. Owner wasn't very friendly to us. He greeted everyone in the restaurant besides us, most likely due to past visits to the restaurant where the quality was below par, but never had they served us raw pork until today. The wife's response was "well the cook was rushing to leave and sometimes mistakes just happen." I'm ready to call the health department on this place. We have given the restaurant multiple opportunities and have been very cordial and nice to the owners in the past. Today was the absolute last straw! UPDATE: I called the department of health and they confirmed they would investigate the restaurant. read more
