Pho Bang to me is nostalgic because it carries the name and branding from a similar restaurant in NYC growing up. I asked the people working there and they confirmed my suspicions of the relation -- it's effectively a franchise situation. On to the review: this place felt homey as soon as I sat down. The older women who tended to front of house looked like sisters, reminded me of my aunts. It was quiet, even though half the tables were filled. No TV, not a lot of noise going on in the back. Sit long enough and you see locals coming in yelling their orders or picking up take out. It feels like you're at their house waiting for your turn to try what's coming out of the kitchen. They serve pho in regular or large and you can choose from preset protein choices or mix and match your own. My go-to is Tai, Nam, Bo Vien. Their sweetest lady will take your order with a smile. You sit there, wait about 5 minutes and your bowl arrives. It looks home made. The bowl has cuts of meat that look like something made with love, at home. The broth is flavorful, slightly sweet from the simmered bones. It doesn't have the look of a spot that just slings Pho all day if that makes sense. I felt good eating here and the bowl was generously piled with meat. This is a place you go to whenever you're craving a solid bowl of Pho and want to eat in peace. read more

Got the large pho dac biet and it was ok... the broth was pretty bland. However, I will say they gave a lot of meat and the meatball specifically was really good. The service was ok, nothing to note. The restraunt itself was quiet and relatively clean. This would not be my go-to pho spot. read more

Pho Bang is not fancy, it's borderline a hole in the wall type of place but in my opinion... it is the BEST pho you can get in DFW.

My wife went to Phở Băng in Garland (3565 W Walnut St A) with a friend on December 6, 2025, and it turned into one of the most disgusting restaurant experiences we've ever had. While she was actively eating her bowl of pho, she noticed there was a bug in the soup. Not on the table, not on the floor - literally in the bowl she had already been eating from. Staff took the bug out of the soup and set it aside, and she took a photo of it afterward. Just imagine realizing you've been eating around that. During the same visit, she also saw another bug at the front counter near where you pay. So in one visit: bug in the food, another bug at the counter. That is a massive red flag for cleanliness and pest control. Even after all that, they still charged them for the friend's soup, the eggrolls, and the drinks, as if this was just a small inconvenience instead of something that completely kills your trust in the kitchen. Once there's an insect floating in a bowl of soup someone is already eating, the entire meal is ruined. You don't feel safe eating anything else from that place. To make it worse, when I later called the restaurant and asked to speak to a manager about what happened, the call was hung up on me. We've reported this to Garland Environmental Health and to the Texas Department of State Health Services, because this isn't just a bad experience - it's a serious sanitation concern. We will not be coming back here, and I strongly suggest anyone thinking about eating at this location look at the photos and think twice. read more

I had stopped coming to this restaurant because my son left his phone and I went back and they didn't want to give it back, after 9 months I decided to give them a try, well while I was dinning in with my family we see a roach crawling on the floor I told one of the waitress, she just killed it and kept walking. Im assuming the kitchen is probably more. I would not recommend coming to get pho there. read more

Best pho ever and personal fav is rice with meat and eggs plate. Service is great. Yummy food

The Pho does go Bang here. Bad jokes aside, this place is pretty solid. Located in one of the viet strip malls, it's one of those no frills pho spots that opens early (9?) and hits the spot if you're craving pho. Got the pho dac biet aka combination pho and it was FULL of meat. Brisket slices were absolutely delicious (see photos) and tender. Broth was flavorful and did the job, but had a little more oil than I would have liked (can't win em all!). Prices were great. Service was fast. Definitely one of the better pho spots in the area! read more

This is one of my favorite pho places in town! That's hard for me to judge because I am a Houston gal and there's a lot of pho places over there. However this place beats a hecka lotta places in the DFW area. The service is fast for as busy as they are. They try to tend to you as quick as possible. If you want a less busy environment, I'd go on a week day. Weekends here are insane!! They've got one of the best eggrolls in town because they use rice paper instead of egg roll paper. The portion of the eggrolls is big and it comes out so hot and fresh!! Pho has a lot of flavor and they do not skimp on meat noodles OR broth. read more

The service is alright there is a lot of people there who don't talk English so it's limited who can help you. Also in my opinion the pho is okay. It feels very fatty, I taste it and see it in the broth. Otherwise I appreciate the toppings they provide for you. read more

Amazing amazing amazing Pho!! I really wanted to try authentic pho because I've tried it in the past and could tell it wasn't the absolute best. I'm so glad I didn't write Pho off forever because it is absolutely delicious if made correctly. The service was absolutely amazing. We were greeted, told to sit down while I looked at the take out menu and got my order taken quickly and efficiently. My food was out in less than 5 minutes and it was fairly priced. Very impressed and will definitely be back! read more

Best pho I've had in a long time. Definitely recommend it. Will be back to try some of their other stuff, but the ohi was delicious. read more

I was so hungry I forgot to take photos But there's not much to see. It was a quaint, presumably family/friend-owned shop. The auntie who served us was very kind. Pho Tai Gau - beef pho with eye of round and brisket. I added meatball. The broth was a bit lacking for me - not to say it's bad but it's just not my favorite. I prefer a richer, beefier, fattier broth and this was much lighter (maybe healthier, haha). So if you don't like too rich a broth you will like this place. The brisket was a bit chewy for me, as if it were over cooked and the moisture was leeched from the meat. But the meatball was next time I'd just get eye of round and meatball. Soda Sua Hot Ga (Soda with yolk and condensed milk) - THIS WAS SOOOO GOOD - I neeed to try making it one of these days. It's just floofy egg yolk with condensed milk in club soda and it's all creamy and fluffy and sweet. I love it!!! This really puts the word "soft" in soft drink. read more

NOTE: Pho broth is only flavorful in the morning and lunch hours. They stretch the broth out at days end so this explains the inconsistent flavoring reports read more

The best Pho I've ever tasted so far in DFW area. I used to like Pho Bac a lot but my opinion completely changed after I tried Pho over here. This is exactly the taste of Pho that I grew up with (Saigon southern style). I ordered #1 "Pho dac biet xe lua co bo vien". The bowl is huge and they give you lots of meat. There is a perfect balance between the noodles and meat. The broth is flavorful and tasty. We also ordered shrimp spring rolls (goi cuon) but we had to take them home because that Pho bowl made me so full that I can't eat anything else. I highly recommend this place, their Pho is very authentic (in my opinion). read more

As restaurant name suggests, Pho is the highlight of this place. Unfortunately after Covid & inflation, all restaurants have adapted & it seems at home cooked meals reign supreme now. But occasionally, when time is limited, this is now my #1 vote for Pho bo. Come during the week. This is also my go to for grilled pork / thịt nuong with noodles or rice. Che here is good too- good value. read more

My son was feeling under the weather and wanted some pho. We decided to try this place since it was close to us. I called in the order and the lady was nice. When I went inside I asked for crab rangoons because they were on the online menu, turns out they don't make them there. Another lady came in and took over the order I'm assuming the manager, i was confirming what pho I wanted (which I'm not familiar with, my son is the one who wanted it)after being confused by the number 4 and 5 the lady rudely snatched the menu away, I brushed it off as I didn't want to stoop to her level and proceeded to pay. Mind you it was close and convenient for me. Food was good overall and egg rolls were a bit overcooked. Restaurant looked pretty clean on the inside and was pretty busy. I don't think we will be returning to this one. read more

Pho soup was bad, it had sour taste but they were still selling for customers. So disappointed!

Lovely Pho with giant home made meatballs! Brisket in pho just right! Egg rolls were delicious!

Great pho. A and I both ordered the pho dac biet and loved it. I normally end up adding sriracha to my soup, but I didn't even need to do that. Just squeezed the lime in the broth when adding my basil, sprouts, jalapenos, and cilantro, and it needed nothing else. I also want to give a shoutout to the service. The auntie who took our order was really sweet and made sure we were good. I'll miss how close this place was once I move away from Garland. :'( read more

There's no hot chili oil sauce for bun Bo so if you want it to enhance the taste you need to bring your own and it sucks. Service was rude by saying "what kind of bun Bo do you want, why don't you tell me specifically" oh well never come back again. The taste of pho was meh nothing special compare to other places around here. Taste of bun Bo was 3/10, I don't know why they mixed the noodle. The scissors got rusted or something dark on there. Photos for details . Sorry but this can't take my business here. The cashier also not friendly. He wasn't in the mood at work lol read more

I used to frequent this place every weekend for years. We stopped going because this place is dirty. No matter how good their pho is I will not eat at a dirty place. Most of the time, there's no soap or paper towels in the RR. and RR is always dirty. For a place that was remodel a few years ago, its really run down. Anthony Bourdain was right when he said "don't eat at a place if their restroom is dirty. Their kitchen is worst" I found so many hair in my food over the years. The last incident was the last straw. I saw a waitress sticking napkins from previous patrons at the table back in the napkin holder. I took them back out and inspect the other side. Sure enough, there was grease stains. That is disgusting. Napkins shouldn't cost you much and as much as this place bring in business, I don't condone this cheap behavour. I was curious of what their health score was after witnessing. Their health score was a 69 out of 100 as of early 2018. Anything below 70 is high risk FYI. I don't like that they don't clean their chopsticks and spoons well. We started buying our own chopsticks and spoons to bring with us to eat for awhile. After awhile, its just not worth it anymore. We found other places to eat. read more

The food has gone down in flavor ever since they've renovated the restaurant. It lacks meaty-umami-savory flavor, salt, and pho spices. It's citrusy, so I'm guessing I am just tasting coriander. I've came here 3 times recently and end up adding fish sauce and salt to make it taste less like water. The grilled pork chop for the rice dish was very dry and the fried egg was over-hard cooked instead of over-easy. Not sure what's happening in the kitchen that day. Service is pretty quick since it is usually not busy when I come. Definitely cleaner than it used to be 6 years ago. read more

The BEST pho in DFW. The broth is amazing, there is basically never a wait time and food comes out fast. The building is a bit older but food makes up for it! read more

This place is a very solid spot to checkout if you're looking for Vietnamese cuisine. It's in a predominantly viet area of the city so be sure to stop by the markets and experience other delicacies. Pricing here is pretty good, the large bowl of Pho is about $9 with taxes and such so $10. Plenty of different backgrounds of people come here to eat and that just makes it more special. The seating is moderate, they have tables lined up throughout the restaurant, if you have a huge party you might be slightly cramped but a group of 4 or less will be perfectly fine. The Pho is great and they have several options to choose from, definitely go here and grab a bite! read more

In my area there are dozens and dozens of Vietnamese restaurants. So far they have been consistently good with subtle differences. I most often order the Pho Tai - my goto meal. I enjoyed the great flavor of the broth. There were plenty of noodles and an abundance of meat. The service was speedy and efficient. One thing that really stood out was the Egg Rolls. I can't remember eating any like it before. Plenty of meat and crispy crust. We also got 5 or 6, not sure, which usually 3 is the max at most places. The food was good with service to match. It is a classic asian lunchroom. The ambiance is average but I didn't go there looking for sky painted on the ceiling. There were an abundance of asian folks eating, which is always a good sign. By all accounts this is a popular place - With all the good asian food in the area, that says a lot. I'd suggest you go there and judge for yourself. I think you'll be pleased. I'm pretty sure we'll go again in the near future. read more

My only and honest complaint is the spoons are smallest i've seen compared to other places but that's just my greedy self. read more

Pho Bang Restaurant - brisket and skirt flank/ shrimp pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Garland, Texas

I'm a little biased coming from Silicon Valley where there are Vietnamese restaurants on every other corner! Pho is a staple for our family especially when it drops below 40 When my husband and I walked in the aroma made us feel at home. We were helped right away and our pho was out in just a couple of minutes. In my opinion, the broth was a little bland! Both of us added salt. Hubby was sad to see they didn't have chili oil either, something he loves in his pho. The cafe sua da was on point but the egg rolls had a funny smell! I didn't feel sick or anything so maybe the fresh meat? Overall slightly disappointed given their high ratings! Definitely down to try again though. read more

First time here and I have to say it's the only spot that has good prices and different sizes of Pho. It's a whole in the wall and the owners don't seem to speak much English, but the food is great! I am glad I decided to try this place and I will be back :). read more
