Came on a Friday night an hour before close and it was a little busy, but it got busier towards closing. I was really hungry tonight and I gotta say I was really let down by the portion size of #48, 3 shrimps, beef portion could have been more, and there should have been more rice... especially when you're paying extra for broken rice. Egg was cooked fine, but really would want Vietnamese egg cake... egg roll was good along with the bean curd wrap. Sauce was good, it tasted similar to my mom's style. Overall my rice dish was just a tease because of portion size. My fiancé got the S3 per the usual.. her plate was full of shrimp. My fiancé liked her dish, today I though it a little lacking and there was way too much sauce. Thai iced tea was good. I usually get Pho or Bun Bo Hue and it seems that is what you should get to get your money's worth.. not the rice dishes. Today service was lacking as they seemed a little short handed.. we didn't even get utensils with napkins, we got it ourselves and so did another couple. Food took a little long to come out, again they seemed short handed. We'll still come back, but I'll stick to Bun Bo Hue. read more

Solid! The Pho here is generous, and tastes great. It was ready super fast. They are pretty busy with walk ins and take out orders but the place is big and spread out, and the service is quick. My spring rolls and my bowl came out together like less than 5 minutes after I ordered. Over all place is clean and there is lots on the menu. I will be back to try more. read more

The food wasn't great but definitely not bad. However, the restaurant was disgustingly dirty. The chairs and tables need a good cleaning. The front windows haven't been cleaned at all. It makes customers wonder... if the dining room is so grimy then what does the kitchen look like??? Service wasn't that great either. Our server never came to refill out drinks. Never even asked! Nevertheless, the cleanliness is my biggest complaint. Will not go back. read more

We were the wrong color. Didn't acknowledge us for several minutes, we where the only ones in there. They just looked at us and turned the music up very loud. We couldn't here each other to talk. read more

Located in the strip mall behind the Arby's on Southern in Rio Rancho. We were greeted and seated quickly. Our appetizer (pork spring rolls) came out quickly and were delicious. I had the chicken fried rice. The chicken was tender. The rice not overly greasy. My husband had the S-6 with pork (not pictured). Servings were huge (on par for ABQ). If you're looking for somewhere quick, delicious and with LOTS of options, this is the place to check out. read more

Excellent service, we were seated right when we walked in and our drink order was taken immediately. Our server checked on us throughout the meal as well. Started off with their grilled pork spring rolls which have a delicious crunchy baton inside. The variety of textures is a delight: chewy rice wrapper, crisp lettuce, crunchy baton, and tender pork and noodles. Noodle bowl: Noodles and shrimp were cooked perfectly. Pork had a lovely wok hei char and was complimented by the vinegary sweet pickled carrot and daikon. Pho: Flavorful broth and tender crisp veggies, love the plentiful fresh herbs on the side. read more

Pho Bar - Spring roll, smoke brisket pho and a hot jasmine tea - Vietnamese Near Me - Rio Rancho, New Mexico

Quite possibly one of the most authentic and best restaurants in Rio Rancho, which amazingly enough the only other restaurant in Rio Rancho so I considered to be out this caliber in the same parking lot, moving back here after spending seven years in Southern California, especially being a self proclaimed foodie while I fell in love with Vietnamese food no Vietnamese sandwiches or something that I've been eating half my life now something I have always really liked. I've tried six places here in the Rio Rancho in Albuquerque area some places having some of the highest reading I've ever seen, but their food is not authentic if you want real Vietnamese restaurant food go here you won't regret it. If you do shoot me a message. I'll be really curious to hear about it. Thanks again to everybody at Pho Bar for the amazing food! read more

Came to the Cafe Trang's Pho Bar on Saturday, January 28, 2023, with my lovely wife. We'd been wanting to visit here every time we spotted it on our way to the Brew Lab. Note: they are closed on Sundays. A delightful young waitress took our order with a smile. We ordered the shrimp spring rolls (2 for $6.25) with peanut sauce. These came out in a dish shaped like a boat. They were a bit dry for my taste and the shrimp tasted overcooked and rubbery. I think they could have done a much better job with this appetizer. I ordered the Ca Bong Lau Xao, lightly fried catfish nuggets with noodles and black-pepper sauce for $11.75. Unfortunately, the cook or waitress messed up because they brought out rice instead of noodles. Despite that mistake, this dish had an excellent light flavor with a minimal amount of breading on the fish. The sauce they put under the fish had an excellent tangy flavor, but there wasn't enough to thoroughly coat each piece of fish. The service was quick but the attention to detail was lacking. Main meal tasted great, but I'd skip the appetizer. They are generous with their portions and I would try them again to see if they can get my order right since my main dish had delicate flavor. read more

Been here several times and will continue to give this place business. The eggrolls are great and the Pho is the best in Rio Rancho! Absolutely recommended to anyone looking for a good bowl of Pho! read more

We always enjoy our meals here. The service is prompt and friendly. The food never disappoints. The prices are very fair.

We had the large rare steak pho and por banh mi. $18. Good news bad news. Bad news. The pho was watery and tasteless. The steak and noodles had good texture. Even still, this was one of the worst phos we have had in a while. Good news. The pork banh mi was awesome. The bread was great, the meat was great, the sauce was great and all of the veggies were great. I'd recommend asking to have them add some jalapeno slices to make it pop. But, this was the best Banh Mis we have had in a while and I can't wait to go back for more. The staff was friendly and prompt. And all the dishes at our neighboring tables looked great. Pro tip - get your banh mi from here, get a pho from Saigon 2 down the street and head over to enjoy them both at Cabezon Park read more

My first time at a Pho Bar I wasn't sure what expect. Plenty of parking, with plenty of Handicap spaces. Upon entering it has 3 decent sections to eat at, my friends were seated, had their drinks and each had a spring roll, they said was very good. I sat immediately the waitress came with my menu and asked what I would like to drink. Jasmine tea and some time to check out the menu. I decided on a small Pho Tai, the beef was tender, the broth tasty, the rice noodles just right. My friends also had Pho Tai, we enjoyed our meal and great conversation. If your looking for a place that is relaxed and has good food, this is for you. read more

Need a stop for lunch, looking for something we don't usually eat. So here we are. Lots of seating available, grab a booth and read the menu - 5 pages worth. Too many options each sounds delicious. We need more time, pork spring roll appetizers should give it to us. I zero in on the Xào Xã Őt (curry stir fry) - with pork & noodles. As advertised it was hot, but not too much. The stir fried veg were nice & crisp while noodles were not over done. Adding the fish sauce gave it excellent flavor. My wife ordered the chicken fried rice. Equally flavorful, chicken was tender and not dry and the rice was flaky vs sticky. Did I mention there was a lot of food. To go containers for lunch tomorrow. Prices were reasonable especially given the amount served and quality. Service was good, she came by often to check on us. This deserves a return trip to work our way thru the menu. If you've never had Vietnamese, this will be a good place to start. read more

so good, fast service, and extremely clean! it's a hidden gem in Rio Rancho! definitely worth trying

Service was awesome and the food was fantastic. Nice place and the prices were affordable.

Love Pho...especially on cold weather and the stuff are always really nice and friendly.

Best Vietnamese restaurant in the area...as a matter of fact it has been hard to find a place that can compare even when we travel to different states! The hours are a little tricky so make sure to call ahead. We love the shrimp spring rolls, the banh mi sandwiches, and the vermicelli noodle bowls! The restaurant is clean and has plenty of seating, but we also enjoy the takeout option as well! read more

Best Pho in Rio Rancho! The broth and noodles are fantastic and the portions are generous.

Great Pho!!!!! Wonderful eating experience, all of the staff is professional and courteous. Thank you! read more

Excellent food, the place is still trying to figure out the Covid thing. The food was the bomb. I needed it. Now you take it home reheat it and then mix everything together. The portions are great, filled a huge bowl read more

Very good, had the combination Pho which was quite nice and well balanced. Nothing overpowered the flavor of the broth, the choice of chili oils was also a treat especially when I don't overdo it, otherwise it complimented the broth as it should. The Ban mi was ok, the bread was a nice treat as was the ham, the supposed foi gras just got in the way, sometimes less is more. The place was clean and the service was on point. First time here will definitely come back to explore the rest of the menu and not to forget to order the coffee, well done! read more

We've been eating here since we moved to Albuquerque and coming from Southern California and from Denver before that, I like to think I know a good bowl of pho and this place has that. It's great as takeout and the staff is always very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Pho Bar! read more

So good. Refreshing and really good size portions. We eat there at least 3 times a month.

Walked in as someone was walking out. Waited The guy that had walked out came back in and put three suckers he took back in the sucker container at the register and muffled something I couldn't understand, then he left. I continued to wait... and watch the four occupied tables of people that were watching me back. Still continued to wait, no one came from the back to seat or great me. This was awkward. Perhaps this was an indication of the food and service. I left. read more

This is a real different, for me. I have only eaten Vietnamese food once before, at a place in Albuquerque, on San Mateo. The food at that San Mateo establishment was insipid. Because of such a rotten experience, I swore off Vietnamese food for years. But Pho Bar is completely and totally different. We had planned on going somewhere else, but couldn't so we decided to try Pho Bar. I'm so glad that we did. We got there for a late lunch on a Saturday, so seating was easy. I like the Pho Bar on the back wall, it's classy. The service was attentive and pleasant. They were patient with us as we tried to learn a little more of the Vietnamese culture. When it comes to Vietnamese food, it's out of my experience. And I won't even try to pronounce the names of the dishes, as I'd completely slaughter the pronunciation. Personally, I'd hate to dishonor their culture by messing up how badly I'd pronounce their dishes. Fortunately, I took some pictures of the menu, so I can write the dishes we had. I had the Banh Hoi Dac Biet, which has grilled pork, grilled shrimp, pork sausage and shrimp sausage wrapped on a sugar cane. WOW, was that ever delicious!!! My wife had a similar dish, but with chicken instead of pork. I think it was the Banh Hoi Thit Ga Guong. (Please excuse the vagueness of my inexperienced descriptions.) Each of us loved what we ate and shared with one another. This experience single handedly has changed my view of Vietnamese food. We will return to Pho Bar. read more

Had slow service but the food was great although it was not as the best as I could get somewhere else. I would recommend coming here though.

The food is delicious, the service is always fast and great, seating is so comfy, and the owners are always so friendly and nice!

This is a great place for Pho and so much more! They've been offering take out and you can either call it in or walk in and order. They have a huge menu with lots of options, the portions are very generous, and the staff is super friendly. Whatever you end up ordering, I recommend getting a side of egg rolls. They're some of the best I've ever had and they also reheat well in the oven. read more

Pho Bar - #46 - Vietnamese Near Me - Rio Rancho, New Mexico

I used to go this place from 2018-2022. Larry was always the friendly worker that was the face of the restaurant. He always made sure my order was correct and up to par. Around 2021, Larry was no longer there when I showed up. About 4 times in the past six months, I have received subpar service, my to go order is wrong, and the broth is bland. Needless to say, I won't be back for the next year. Hopefully things will work themselves out. read more

Pho-nomenal!!!!! I may have just become their favorite new customer...the staff were totally amused as I ooohed and ahhhed after each bite, and there is no doubt that I will become a regular here....my belly was seriously SO HAPPY afterwards. The staff was delightful. The space was clean and inviting. The meal was absolutely superb. Fresh. I ordered the small vegetable pho and added beef to it (instead of tofu) and a side of two grilled chicken spring rolls (I should've ordered just one...I was so full that I had to take the other to go). They brought a plate of bamboo shoots with jalapeno, cilantro and lime, which I added to the soup...each spoonful was pure bliss...incredibly satisfying...flavorful... I already want to go back today for another bowl!!! I'm totally addicted!!!! read more
