I really have nothing but good things to say about this place. I was craving pho and searched for good pho places on TikTok and this place kept coming up. I decided to try it on Friday during lunch and since then I've already been back again. First off, this is a simple get in and get out type of restaurant. Immediately upon entering the restaurant I saw how busy it was ( a good sign of good food) but it wasn't chaotic and there was a number of staff standing around to help customers. I knew what I wanted and placed my order, immediately after I received my pho toppings and my pho online few minutes afterwards. I ordered a Medium, but a small will def do. I felt the broth was much more than the noodles. The second time I came here, I ordered a small and extra noodles. I added my toppings, hot sauce & hoisin sauce and it fulfilled my craving to a T! The vibe is laid back and homey. While I sat there, I saw several people come in eat and leave. It's a casual quick place to grab a bite. read more

I did have a negative experience related to two other customers I was with. One person was very rude and even tried to skip ahead of a couple who had arrived before us. It was frustrating to be around that behavior, and I apologize on behalf of our group. They also had one of the waiters take and retake several photos, which was not fair to the staff. That experience made me realize those were not people I want to be around, and I appreciated the staff member who gave me a bit of perspective. I have had more peace since distancing myself from them. Now to the amazing Pho Bac. I loved their fried egg rolls and the medium sized beef pho. Everything was delicious. Even with the situation I mentioned, I still really enjoyed the food. I just wish I had ordered more to go. I will definitely go out of my way to come back. I have already recommended it to friends and family, and I hope to visit again very soon. read more

The restaurant is large and has plenty of seating. It is always busy! The staff is as attentive as they can be considering how busy they are. The food was good. I think the meat quality really shines in the pho. The broth isn't necessarily the best but if you're looking for a nice bowl of noodle soup and meat, this is definitely a place I'd recommend. read more

I don't know why so many people say Pho Bac is the best pho in DFW... it's definitely not. I thought the broth was very bland. I tasted pho flavors but a watered down version of it. The meat was good quality but the subpar broth kinda ruined the entire bowl. The restaurant was packed when I went. I had to wait in line and then ended up sitting next to other people. read more

Pho Bac is goated been my go to Viet spot for a while now and given how busy it is most of the time that seems to be the case for a lot of people. It's what you want from a good Asian place, no frills straight to the point quality food. Anytime I go anywhere else I judge compared to Pho Bac. Our regular orders are the combo pho, whole Cornish hen, and grilled pork over rice (or vermicelli depending on the mood). I like that they let you customize the pho protein if you want to. When it's time for pho, you'll find me at Pho Bac read more

There was no wait, very busy. We got chicken and beef pho. A friend got the pork chop dish. After we got our food, service wasn't the best they didn't bring our friend a knife to cut the pork chop. This is a decent bowl of a pho, it was on the plain side when it came to flavor but it did have a good chicken broth flavor & when you add the greens, sprouts jalapeños lime, sriracha and oyster sauce it's good read more

when asking locals or reddit for pho recommendations in dallas, pho bác will probably be at the top of the list. thus, i had high expectations, none of which were really met. the pho đặc biệt broth was really flat and watery; i couldn't taste any of the common spices, and it was just meh. the meat was also okay, nothing impressive. the meatball doesn't have any flavor and was rubbery as well. the bun bo huế was somehow even more bland than the pho. just flat overall i would not come back unfortunately since there's usually a line out the door too read more

Flavorful broth with good selection of meats and affordable prices! You can do S,M,L bowl sizes which is a bonus since I usually can't finish a regular bowl! Service is fast, and you get seated very quickly! The place stays busy, but there's ample parking and seating! Overall a solid place for pho! read more

The best Vietnamese food I've had in Dallas area, however, I must say Vietnamese food in Dallas is far below sub-par. Overall, it is decent. Food comes out very, very fast. I tried my mom's hu tieu bo kho and would probably get that if I ever came back. The bun thit Nuong was okay. The thit nuong is too thick and chewy for my liking, but fish sauce is on par. Probably wouldn't get it again as it wasn't anything special. Pricing is reasonable and there are small, medium and large sized bowls for the noodle soups (pho, bo kho, etc.). read more

Yep yep yep YEP. This pho was EXCELLENT super duper gas, tops some of the ones I had in Vietnam. The broth was super flavorful yet managed to stay light at the same time it was like witchcraft. The Kobe beef was extremely tender and practically melted in your mouth. Absolutely wonderful meal, I wish it wasn't so far from me :( read more

As a non-local, tried both Pho Bac and Pho Bang. For overall, I'd give it to Pho Bac. Better atmosphere and the soft and luscious kobe just melts in your mouth. It's in a nice plaza by Happy Lemon and a Viet snacks shop, super convenient. Both broths had aromas of msg and I had to say Pho Bang's broth did have a bit more msg since we were mad thirsty. The boys did enjoy the sua dau nang at Pho Bang's and their homemade meatballs, which were chewy and black peppery; the service was super fast especially since we came 30 minutes before closing; folks were still streaming in after us. So, we'd come back to Pho Bac over Pho Bang. read more

Some of the best Vietnamese food I've found in Dallas. Their pho and pork spring rolls are my go to.

The best pho I ever had!! And the service was very attentive. I am looking forward to my next visit.

I decided to try a new pho place since I frequent a small one often and I've had Pho Bac on my list for a while. The service was quick and the layout was unlike any pho restaurant I've been to. The pho itself was good, but nothing life changing. The chili oil was different from any I've tried though, it seemed to have thai chili peppers (I could be wrong, but it was spicy) and it was good. I got a combination of beef and shrimp pho and we tried the chicken spring rolls as well. Ultimately, it's a really far drive from me to return, BUT it's still a great option for anyone wanting pho! read more

We really wanted to try a new pho place in the DFW and this place kept popping up so we decided to try. I thought it was pretty good! We went on a Sunday and it was packed, but we got seated right away. We ordered pho with kobe, egg rolls, and a coconut juice. I thought the pho was pretty good. The amount of meat in the bowl definitely matched the size pho you get. The pho broth was definitely more on the lighter side. The egg rolls were okay, they were crispy but they just weren't hot. I really liked my experience here and the inside just made it feel very homey. Overall if i were in the area again and was wanting pho I would probably choose this spot read more

Pho Bac offers the most authentic pho I have encountered in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Having sampled pho at more than a dozen Vietnamese restaurants across DFW--several of which were quite good--Pho Bac stands out decisively as my top choice. Their execution is superior, particularly in the broth, which achieves perfect balance without excessive sweetness or reliance on MSG. My personal favorite is the Pho Kobe, featuring tender Kobe beef, though the classic Pho Tai is also excellent. The service is consistently outstanding--prompt, attentive, and efficient. For those seeking truly authentic pho akin to what is enjoyed by Vietnamese locals, this is the ideal destination. Additionally, the restaurant opens early, allowing patrons to enjoy pho for breakfast, much as it is commonly consumed in Vietnam. read more

First time there and went with a friend of many years, he had been there before so we went. Being used to Asian cuisine I felt comfortable with navigating through the menu and selected a nice BIG bowl of beef pho, with unsweetened ice tea the journey began to flavor land. The decor was appropriate and the service was spoiling. Once served I add some hot sauce, jalapeños, basil, bean sprouts and lime and folded it together to form a mouth watering dish, with pleasant conversation and a background of Asian chatter the lunch was very rewarding and another good memory to reflect upon. read more

In an area full of Pho spots, Pho Bac is well above average. Their broth is rich and delightful, their toppings are generous compared to other spots, and they have an insane LARGE bowl size that's almost comical. I ding 1 star because their sides/appetizers such as egg rolls are just meh. So come for the pho! read more

After returning from vacation in East Asia which is where I had the best pho ever, I was told that this is the place to go for pho. I see why. I got letter B which was the well done brisket with all the trimmings and it was so good. I regret not getting more to go, especially since it was quite a distance from me. I went around 12 PM on a Saturday and it was very crowded, however there was no wait. People seem to get their food, eat and go. So tables were constant being turned over. The only thing was there was a language barrier between my waiter and myself. Being that it was my first time there I did have a couple of questions. Nonetheless, it was a great experience. There was very little wait time from the time I ordered to the time the pho arrived. The pho was great. And I would definitely go back. The staff was nice and based on the crowd, everyone else was in agreement that it is the place to go for pho. The establishment was full and was being ran like a well oiled machine. read more

I love pho and Vietnamese food overall, I had high expectations for Pho Bac after hearing countless recommendations over the years. Everyone seems to say it's the best pho spot in the area. I finally got the chance to try it. The pho was solid--flavorful broth, fresh ingredients, and well-prepared. It's definitely a reliable spot for good pho, but for me, it didn't quite live up to the hype that everyone always gives it. Overall, a great place for a bowl of pho, just not anything special about it that makes it stand out. It's pretty much a standard Vietnamese restaurant. The service and ambiance is very much similar to many other pho places as well. read more

Very busy on a week day during lunch around 12pm. There was a small line out front, but we got seated within 10 mins. Their service is incredibly fast which I was impressed with. We ordered 4 entrees and they all came out with 5 mins even with a fully packed restaurant. My dad says this is his favorite pho spot and always orders pho from here. I ordered the bun bo hue, while not the most flavorful broth it was decently good. Their bun bo hue doesn't come with the signature pork blood though. read more

Pho Bac Restaurant - Bun Bo Hue - Vietnamese Near Me - Richardson, Texas

I've heard from coworkers that this place has really tasty broths so came to try it on a cheat day. The restaurant is very roomy and is great for large groups. We ordered a Bun Bo Hue and a Kobe Beef Pho. We were given a choice of fresh or steamed beaned sprouts - we chose fresh but I'm curious what steamed tastes like. Both broths were absolutely delicious! The noodles and meat portions were well balanced. The negative was that the Bun Bo Hue didn't have pork blood for some reason. When they brought our food, they gave me a (yellow) order ticket. You're supposed to take that to the counter when you're ready to pay so they know what you ordered. Makes sense. read more

I got to Pho Bac at around 12:30pm, and there was a line out the door. However, the line moves very quickly and we were seated within 5 minutes. The restaurant was packed and a little loud, which is understandable for Christmas Day. The service was very efficient and the food came out fast. I ordered the Mi Bo Kho, and it was very delicious. There were very large portions. Come for good, classic, Vietnamese food. read more

The pho was good, and the portion size was huge. I ordered the medium chicken pho. The service was super quick too! The only thing I didn't like was that I felt rushed to place an order since multiple servers kept asking for my order every minute or so. read more

Their pho is consistently good (I've been back 4 times since my first review). However this time I wanted try something different and ordered their Banh Mi Đặc Biệt with Pate.

Quoc Anh, Phat, Phúc. They are the best servers!. Very Kind, friendly, and helpful! Food is very good. Nice restaurant. thanks!!

Word around town was that Pho Bac is considered to be the best Pho in DFW. While the food was satisfactory, I had high expectations, and I was disappointed as I've had better even in just Richardson alone. I will say that service was very fast, especially during lunch hour on a Saturday. The Vietnamese Egg rolls were crispy but the filling was a little dry. They weren't the best Vietnamese egg rolls I've had, but they weren't bad either. I feel the same way about the Banh Mi. It was good but not the best. As for the pho - I do like how you can customize and they are pretty generous with the meats. The best thing about the pho was the meat - all the cuts I selected were fresh and tender. However, the broth wasn't as flavorful as I would've liked. read more
