We have been coming to Pho An Vietnamese for over a year now, and after all this time, we felt it was long overdue to write a review for this wonderful family and their restaurant. Without fail, the food is absolutely delicious every single time. Some of our favorites are the chicken wings and the veggie soup with rice noodles, but honestly, we don't believe you could go wrong ordering anything on the menu. You can tell that the food is homemade and prepared with care--and, without a doubt, with love. But as wonderful as the food is, what makes Pho An Vietnamese truly special is the family behind it. Their daughter, Lori, has made us feel welcome from the very beginning. From the first time she greeted us with that beautiful smile, we loved her! She has such a warm and caring personality, and the service she provides is always outstanding. She doesn't make you feel like you are simply a customer walking into a restaurant--she makes you feel like you are coming to visit family. And that same warmth can be felt throughout the entire restaurant. This family truly cares about the people who walk through their doors. After coming here for over a year, we have experienced the same wonderful food, excellent service, kindness, and genuine appreciation every single time. There are plenty of restaurants where you can get a good meal, but it is rare to find a place where you leave with both a full stomach and a full heart. To Lori and the entire family at Pho An Vietnamese: thank you for the wonderful meals, the smiles, the conversations, and most of all, for always treating us like family. Your hard work and love for what you do certainly do not go unnoticed. You deserve every bit of praise and success that comes your way. We are so thankful we found your restaurant, and we look forward to many more meals with our Pho An family! Highly, highly recommended! Rachelle and Stu read more

I wish Yelp did 1/2 star ratings, Because this is a solid 3 1/2 star. Had to round it up because it was more than 3. Dude that said "best pho on the planet" is either somehow affiliated with the business, or has never been to Vietnam hahaha It's Saturday around 3:00 p.m., and I am the only customer in the entire restaurant. That's typically a red flag for me, but there's so many good reviews about this place on multiple platforms. So I'll get the cons out of the way. They were out of fish sauce, they don't have chili sauce, and they don't have Thai basil! This is the very first pho place I've been to in my life that doesn't have basil. They had cilantro, and I've gotten cilantro and basil in the past so that was kind of disappointing. I ordered fresh spring rolls as an appetizer. They were so so. Not my favorite, but better than some places I've been to. I ordered the deluxe combination pho. I always try the broth, virgin before adding sauces. I will tell you this, this broth was off the chain! Man was it good! The meats were pretty good. The tendon was so tender it was like taking a bite of Jell-O. I didn't have much tripe, not really a whole whole lot of meat all together, but it wasn't like skimpy. But I did have a ton of noodles. So if you order a big bowl, you won't leave hungry. My waitress was nice and attentive, but then again it's kind of hard since I'm the only person in there! Hahaha! I only had water with lime, because they don't have lemons either, so my total was around $27 with the pho and spring roll appetizer. I've eaten Vietnamese all over the country, although this place is pretty decent, it doesn't make my top 10. Definitely good enough to come back to though! ***DISCLAIMER*** This pure, uncut, honest review is federally protected under Federal Law by way of Bill #EO14149.

Pho An is my quick fix when I'm feening for a tasty soup. It's not a fancy restaurant by any means but it's the only Vietnamese restaurant in the Florence area. The service is friendly and efficient. The portions are what you'd expect when you go to any Vietnamese restaurant and most importantly, the pho is tasty. I usually leave there with a bill of about $17.00 so it's not necessarily a cheap lunch but it's extremely satisfying. I do wish they would serve banh mi again but I don't believe it was a big hit among the locals here which is a shame because it's a delicious sandwich. Still one of my "go to" restaurants for lunch. read more

Another good meal. I had the pork dumplings and the pho with eye round and flank steak. Dumplings were good. Pho was very good. Huge portion that I couldn't finish ( but I tried) It's nice to find some authentic Vietnamese cuisine in a place you don't expect it. read more

I had stop in Florence on my way to Florida. This was on the yelp top review recommendation. I have to agree with the reviews. The broth was real beefy and there was plenty of the different type of beef. Would go back again read more

Pho An - No 6 combo - Vietnamese Near Me - Florence, South Carolina

Some of the best Pho broth we've ever found. In the middle of nowhere on the road! Who would have imagined?

Tired of the usual fast food choices when jumping off The interstate? Pho' An is a great place to stop while passing through. It's just off the exit of 95, adjacent to the Econo Lodge. Grab a bowl of Pho or one of the other choices. It's a healthier, fresher and tastier option. A quarter mile down, you can then go into the Krispy Kreme while the Hot Donuts sign is on. Update!!! I just had to change this review from 4 stars due to the grossness factor. Upon finishing my meal and sitting there texting, a roach ran onto the table!!! read more

Pho An - Mixed items. Egg roll, grilled shrimp, vermicelli noodles, vegetables - Vietnamese Near Me - Florence, South Carolina

We wanted something other than drive-through food on our way back from Washington DC to Savannah. My sister, brother-in-law, and I scheduled our departure so we would arrive at the Florence, SC eatery at its 11 am opening time. We got there at about 11:05 and the place was not yet open. We need to stretch and walk around a bit anyway. We noticed that the health department rating was an A. I'm not sure why it was posted on the front door. By about 11:15 we were seated and our drink orders were taken. The sweet tea was not overly sweet. The soup was very good, and I've been eating pho for 30 years. The broth was excellent -- clear, flavorful, and pleasantly beefy. And so HOT, which is a plus for me. I had never seen Vietnamese pho with shrimp, and I don't know how authentic it was, but my sister, who dislikes boiled chicken and beef, loved it. My soup, which contained chicken, was very good. The chicken was stringy, but I've never been to a place where it wasn't. I ordered spring and summer rolls, but summer rolls - the ones that are uncooked - where not available for some reason. The spring rolls were crispy and fresh. My brother-in-law's wings were slightly charred, slightly sweet, and to his liking. Notably, the crinkle fries pound generously on top of the wings were fried a golden brown and surprisingly tasty for frozen, bagged fries. I wanted to pick a place that was interesting to me, but would accommodate different palates. My brother-in-law is crazy about wings, but there are also plenty of rice plates with marinated in boiled meats, as well as soups and noodle dishes. We really liked this restaurant and it's friendly service. I will be back. The only slight thing is that it was very warm inside; the bathrooms were nice and cool. It looked like a an air conditioner-on-the-fritz situation, or maybe the restaurant hadn't had time to cool off. There was a small floor fan nearby so we just turned it on and kept on slurping hot soup! read more

What a great place to stop and eat when passing through on i-95! Why go to McDonald's when you can have homemade broth full of love? The pho was so yummy and comforting I'm still thinking about it days later ;-) We did try some of the cold vermicelli and it wasn't nearly as good as the pho, so I suggest going pho that! read more

Food and service!! Was very good...Food came out on time.. beautiful place going back soon..

I'm not an expert in Pho, in fact I had to Google what it even was so I can't say if it was good Pho, it was brothy, and fresh tasting. My serving had 7 full size shrimp and lots of noodles w greens not sure what were. I would say Vietnamese food is an acquired liking, being my first experience w it I am not there yet. For other beginners it's a crash course because there is no fork for noodles. There are soup spoons & chopsticks, so enjoy. My wife and I both thought our meals were ok but maybe overpriced at $13.99 a piece. The restaurant is attached to an extended stay hotel so lot of foot traffic walk up business. Menu has beer listed but the waitress says no alcohol, may want to update there. It is worth coming out for visit to see if this food is to your liking. read more

Amazing food! On our way from Columbia to Myrtle Beach we didn't want fast food so when we saw this place we gave it a try. Did not disappoint at all. Spring rolls are so good and the #22 was the most impressive pork and noodles I've ever had. Our server said it was her dads special seasoning! read more

Very happy with our dinner! The pho was perfect & the vermicelli bowl #23 was delicious. My only complaint was the sauce for the spring rolls was very thick & heavy on the taste of peanut butter ...& basically the same consistency. The spring rolls themselves were very good tho. read more

I go there often and they have never disappointed me. read more

I've been to my fair share of Vietnamese places. Only one other place, I've ever been to (from here to central MS), has had top notch pho like this place. It's both hearty and delicious. If your hotel host says not to go here, ignore them and get a bowl of pho ga! This place is a one off mom and pop (Vietnamese) restaurant. I'm a little sad they don't do Vietnamese sandwiches but the pho is phenomenal. read more

Goi Cuon (Spring Rolls) : A bit soggy and loose, the sauce isn't anything special, way too much peanut butter. Pho Bo Vien (Meatball Beef Noddle Soup) : The soup tasted a bit weird, so i recommend adding in a bit of sriracha to hide the flavour. Overall, not the best nor the worst Pho place. read more

They were busy but got our food out pretty quick. Better than stopping at fast food while on the road. We purchased spring rolls, vermaslii with pork, shrimp, and a roll and Pho. Kids loved the spring rolls and ate the parts from our dishes. Its inside a hotel and uses that restroom which needed some TLC. But again not bad for a 40 minute stop. read more

The surcharges are ridiculous. They were out of pretty much everything, including the boba teas flavors. Food is okay.

Great food, good service and plenty of parking. I've tried several of their dishes and liked them all. The staff are friendly and check on you even though it's not true table service. Place is also very clean. read more

Hidden Gem! It's slightly unnerving by appearance but, don't let that stop you. Thanks for lunch

Authentic, family owned and home made food. Friendly service. Central location. Great ambiance.

The pho here is amazing. The availability of pho here in Florence is extremely limited to the point of non existence. We used to have to go to Columbia for this food. It's very good. Highly recommend. Interior is simple. Service is adequate. The pho is so worth your lunch time. Affordable. Take out is also excellent. I don't know if they are coming back after quarantine. I really, really hope that they do. I'll be there at least once a week. Please come back. read more
