Pho Bar is a great restaurant and has a delicious selection of soups. If you're looking to eat some Pho this place is definitely for you. My friend and I visited the restaurant one evening for dinner. We had both been there before and have always been satisfied. During this visit we both ordered the beef noodle soup, which came out great. It is a very healthy and hardy selection. The food didn't take long to come, the service is always very good and the atmosphere is beautiful. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone that is looking for some Vietnamese cuisine! read more

Pho Bar - Pho- Beef Noodle Soup - Vietnamese Near Me - Rio Rancho, New Mexico

Food is consistently good and its always prepared with fresh ingredients.

Best Vietnamese I have found in Albuquerque. And the service is fast. Everything I have tried has been great and all the items taste unique and different (as they should). read more

I've been coming here for a long time and still the same the food is good as always. I recommend this place to everyone.

Excellent food! Great staff. Very attentive. Great service as well. I have recommended this place to friends .

Wow. This was fantastic. I order a large Pho to go and was twice as much as some other places. One of the best pho soups I have had since moving to Albuquerque. The staff was very friendly and the place was clean overall. This will be a must repeat. Can't wait to try other things on the menu. read more

I love a good Pho when I'm feeling a bit under the weather. This has been my go to spot since we moved to Rio Rancho. I have always ordered to go, so I can't review the restaurant for dining, but the food is always excellent. The ingredients are fresh, with good portions, and friendly service whenever I call and pick up. read more

This place is closed all weekend long which is the most popular time to eat out - mind boggling. I know several restaurants in town are closed one weekend day or the other, but this is the only one I know of that is closed both. They probably won't be in business long unless they have really busy lunch hours or something! read more

I love everything about this place . The pho . The servers . I always order lunch here since it's fast .

One of my favorite places in New Mexico for Vietnamese food. Great customer service, sometimes it's very busy but they seem to manage

Amazing service and amazing food. Our favorite is their spring rolls. The peanut sauce is almost addictive.

Ahh pho... the Vietnamese soup sweeping the nation. What a fantastic food that I'm so thankful that I discovered. I'm always appalled when someone tells me they haven't had it. Or that it's "just soup". cmon dude...get your life together. Pho bar is really close to me. Probably less than 7 minutes away. So that's nice. I called in a take out order last night for the first time here. I wanted to make sure that they could give me a small to go cup of hoisin sauce because I don't have any in the fridge. They assured me that all take out orders come with hoisin and Siracha. Score. I ordered the #33 large brisket pho and the pork spring rolls. My favorite pho items anywhere I go. When I went to pick it up it was already ready for me and was checked out very promptly. When I got home and put everything together I noticed that there wasn't any siracha or hoisin sauce anywhere to be found. I have siracha at home but without hoisin sauce I was sad. It's delicious. That'll teach me to buy my own. The large portion that i ordered was huge! Way to much food so they definitely didn't slump out there. The pho was very tasty but I feel like the broth was a little light? Not sure if that's the correct word. Like if someone makes really weak coffee and you can see through it. It was like that. I'm just used to a darker, more intense flavor broth. But it was pretty good still. I definitely ate it all. The spring roll were awesome and came with the tasty peanut sauce that I love. They were huge and had some tasty crunchy thing in them that was a nice surprise. Well done on the spring roll for sure. Overall I'll be back to see some other menu items and I'd recommend it as a pretty good place to get pho. If I would recommend anything to the business maybe put some pictures on the walls and play some music. It just seemed kinda bland inside the restaurant. Still- it's all about the pho read more

Fresh, clean, friendly, delicious! Thier menu is extensive and made available to most dietary restrictions. Give them a try!

Always delicious and great, welcoming staff. Food comes out fast and perfect every time. We love Phò Bar! Our favorites are the combination Bùn and the shrimp spring rolls. Thai tea is also good! read more

This is my third time at Pho Bar and I have found great Chicken Soup. My Mama always said that Chicken Soup cures what ails ya. I hope she's right because I've been sick for a while now. Last time I got the medium bowl and had a hard time finishing it. Today I ordered the small along with an appetizer which worked out great. The appetizer I had was their chicken wings. They were fried twice to add crispness. Both dishes were very good and plenty of food to eat. I do recommend this Restaurant. read more

Really exceptional Vietnamese food, especially the pho right in Rio Rancho! I had the opportunity to try their pho by customizing it. You have a various selection of meats with which to do so. I decided upon Tai (rare beef) and Chin (brisket). I was so excited when my bowl of pho came out. The broth was packed with flavor, the noodles were perfect in consistency, and the meats were superb. Definitely the best pho I've had while in the ABQ area. read more

It got the craving done. I haven't tried other Viet restaurants in Rio Rancho, and this genre of food, there can be comparisons, that have yet to be made. To be continued review. I won't get the boba again, but the #1 combo pho and spring rolls, yes. If i return. Prices are on point. No need to upgrade size on pho, the small is the right size! read more

I go here regularly for the steak pho with extra steamed vegetables. Nothing else. The atmosphere is not the best but the pho is good.

One of the best bowls of pho in the area. The broth is flavorful and the meat is a really good quality (little to no fat on the brisket, which makes for a better bite - no globs of fat that you have to chew). The shrimp and pork rolls are really good too, but the iced coffee isn't that great (I've had it twice and it's been watered down and a thin consistency/seems to be missing the condensed milk both times). read more

Great service and the food comes out fast! Menu is packed with yummy food, anything you order is a hit!

Excellent service and food. They have a huge menu. Something for everyone. My family loved their Pho noodle bowls and I had pan friedegg noodles with chicken. It all was very good. If you haven't tried this place you need to put it on your list. read more

As a long time fan of Cafe Trang, Pho Bar's sister restaurant in the international district, I was thrilled when this place opened up to bring their delicious Vietnamese cuisine to the westside. Despite a few hiccups in service, Pho Bar has continually improved their craft and has become my favorite spot for Vietnamese, especially when it comes to the pho and bahn. When it comes to the menu, Pho Bar has all the bases covered. The pho, probably the most popular order at any Vietnamese restaurant is incredible. The rich, decadent broth sports layers and layers of amazing flavor which is only strengthened by the tons of fresh veggies adorning the garden plate and the numerous options for protein. My personal favorite is tendon and rare steak. Now, it may sound weird, but they have the best tendon here. Thinly slice so it becomes very tender and soft (not chewy and knobbly like at other places). Other soups like the lemongrass soup or the spicy bun bo hue are truly excellent as well. These folks really know their broth. The grilled options, whether they're on rice, vermicelli noodles, or vermicelli patties, are seriously amazing. Quality cuts of meat, char-grilled to perfection and served up with various delightful options like sliced egg rolls, fried egg, various homemade sausages, or shrimp, make these a worthy alternative to the soups. Their shrimp sausage grilled on sugar cane is one of my favorite foods of all time. It's sometimes a challenge to find the entree that has exactly what I want toppings-wise, but I am rarely anything less than thrilled with my order. All their ingredients are noticeably high in quality and served in large portions that are generous with the meat and veg. On the appetizer side of things, there's one minor blemish, as the spring rolls are only average. However, the bahn are sumptuous and perfect, especially since they offer the rather rare shrimp sausage bahn mi (which is just irresponsibly delicious). Others starters such as stuffed chicken wings, calamari salad, and bahn are delicious enough to make ordering an entree seem superfluous. And finally, on the note of their service: Pho Bar had a pretty rough start in this area, as other reviewers have noticed. However, they have completely turned that around. The service is now quick, efficient, and friendly. Everything I'd expect from a top-notch wait staff. Coupled with the great prices, amazing food, and beautiful location, I have no reservations about giving this place 5 stars. Highly recommended for anyone with any interest at all in Vietnamese cuisine. read more

Flavorful broth, nicely done with no msg! Efficient friendly service! Best overall pho I had on west side. Only hope a bit more meat, had to order 2 extras of brisket. Meat is seasoned and cooked well, thiinnllyy sliced though. Big space, comfortable booths or tables for large party. A well-run typical Pho place! read more

Pho Bar - After 2 extra orders of brisket; well cooked - Vietnamese Near Me - Rio Rancho, New Mexico

Some of the best Pho I've had in Abq. The restaurant is clean, welcoming and organized. For lunch several tables were occupied, which is always a good sign in Rio Rancho midweek. They have an extensive menu, but of course I stuck to the old standbys. The shrimp spring rolls were wonderful, accompanied of course by peanut sauce, add some sirracha and I was in heaven. I got the rare beef pho, and it was the lunch size portion...I can't even imagine getting anything bigger. I even took home some! Prices were extremely reasonable, service was great, food tasted fresh. Will return and glad to have this gem in Rio Rancho. read more

Pho Bar - Rare beef pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Rio Rancho, New Mexico

I was in town for a family emergency on Halloween. Coming from Las Vegas we weren't prepared for the cold rainy weather and my hubby started feeling sick and wanted soup. So I ventured out and found this place a few miles from our hotel. I drive there and walk in about an hour before their POSTED closing time where I find people dining at the tables and a few people waiting for to go orders. After about 2-3 minutes some guy walks from the back and says to me sorry we're closed. I tell him it's an hour until closing. And he says they decided to close early today and directs me to the door. I really wanted to try this place but am turned off by their customer service. Maybe if I ever come back to the area we'll give it another try... read more

I've been hearing a lot of good things about this place & so I had high expectations before heading in. This is by far 1 of the best places here in NM & I was certainly not disappointed! The pho bowls are decently sized & the broth isn't as salty as the other places in town, but it was quite flavorful! Their way of taking orders is quite efficient as it's all tech based & not the usual notepad & pen style. The interior & atmosphere of this place is simplistic. The color scheme is black & red w/ a hint of wood for the table tops. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for quality Viet food along w/ decently priced! Everything here is less than $10 & it's pretty great! read more

Pho Bar - Pho Tai (rare beef steak noodle soup). - Vietnamese Near Me - Rio Rancho, New Mexico

Pho Bar is my favorite close-by Vietnamese restaurant. Dazzler and I eat here about once every month. Avocado shake, any Banh Mi, and Spicy Lemongrass Soup are my faves. Seared Filet Mignon Cubes. Jane had a plate of Cm Bò Lúc Lc (pan-seared Filet Mignon cubes) that was as good as any Vietnamese dish I have tasted. Perfectly cooked and succulent, they melted in the mouth. Crazy delicious. -----26 Sep, 2011----- Ph Tai Nam. I have recently escaped from my habit of ordering ph every time I eat this rich cuisine. For this visit, however, I ricrelapsed and ordered my all-time favorite Ph Tái Nám (rare steak & well done flank). I asked our server to put the rare beef (tái) on a separate plate so I could add it to the soup after it had cooled a bit. This trick keeps the tái from getting overcooked and keeps the lovely beef flavor alive. [Quoc Luu, one of the owners of Kim Long, showed me this trick. Thanks.] The broth was excellent: delightfully spiced and only lightly salty, and the aroma was heavenly. Plenty on rice noodles done just right. Overall, a superb concoction beautifully staged. It may be quite a while before I get to the rest of the menu. I could eat this ph once a week. Or maybe more often. -----26 Sep, 2011----- Spring rolls. There is an extensive selection of spring rolls. The menu encourages diners to mix things up a bit,so we ordered three: Gi Cun Tht Nung (grilled pork spring roll), Gi Cun Tôm (shrimp), and Gi Cun Gà Nung (grilled chicken). Each spring roll comes with lettuce, cucumber and vermicelli noodles wrapped tightly inside clear rice paper and served with a spicy peanut sauce. These are the class spring rolls in this town, and the pork is among the very best I have had anywhere. -----26 Sep, 2011----- Cafe Trang appears on the West Side under the name Ph Bar.. Ph Bar is a new and welcome addition to the growing (31 are now listed on Urbanspoon now) collection of Vietnamese restaurants, and is one of three such eateries on Albuquerque's West Side (the others being Viet Rice in Rio Rancho and Viet Noodle in Paradise Hills). Ph Bar is the class act, and among the very best in the Duke City. Already My first ph experience (which caused a genetic mutation leaving me helpless with a ph craving about every two weeks) was in a small ph house in Northern Virginia that was populated with dozens of elderly men sitting at long oil cloth-covered picnic benches hunched over their bowls quietly (or not so quietly) slurping this magic concoction almost without coming up for air. Yeah, I know, your mom told you to get your face out of your plate and sit up straight. Well, that ain't the way I learned it in that ph house, so bug off, mom. I have recently escaped from my habit of ordering ph every time I eat this rich cuisine. For this visit, however, I ric relapsed and ordered my all-time favorite Ph Tái Nám (rare steak & well done flank). I asked our server to put the rare beef (tái) on a separate plate so I could add it to the soup after it had cooled a bit.

It may be quite a while before I get to the rest of the menu. I could eat this ph once a week. Or maybe more often. The rest of the menu is quite extensive, and resembles that of Cafe Trang in many ways, which should be no surprise.

These are the class spring rolls in this town, and the pork is among the very best I have had anywhere. Càfê Sa Đá a (Vietnamese Iced Coffee) admirably completed this excellent meal. You will not find better Vietnamese dishes on the West Side. Albuquerque now has at least three top-notch Vietnamese restaurants: Ph Bar, Ph #1, Pho Linh, May Cafe, and Saigon 2. Pick your location. Corrales is closest to Ph Bar, so it wins my near-by default. read more

A Great Pho place! The staff (one guy), we were here before a holiday and the person that took our order, prepared our meal and served us. He made sure we were taken care of along with the other customers. I really enjoyed the space and the bar. They integrated Sake with great deals that we couldn't pass up. I would definitely venture to the west side to enjoy more and more of this pho-n. read more

It had been quite a while since I had been here, but one day my wife and I were running errands and since we were going by, decided to give them another try. We ordered our drinks and looked at the menu. I knew what I wanted, so I was ready to order when the server came back. I had ordered an Arnold Palmer (ice tea and lemonade) but what I got was weak ice tea. I decided to let that slide and order meatball Pho and roasted pork bahn mi. The server said they didn't have any bread, so my wife and I decided to leave. I offered to pay for our drinks, but the server declined. We went to another Vietnamese restaurant not far away, which is now our favorite. read more

It was okay. Though they had a wide verity of menu items, they were out of most beverage selections. The Pho soup was fine, I've just had better. I do enjoy how you can create your own soup because I am often picky. This may seem like a bad review, but you also need to take into account that it is less expense than other Pho. read more

A large group of us came in during a Chinese New Year celebration - it was fantastic - there were dragon dancers and our waiter "Peaches" (I believe we was wearing someone else's name tag to help out that night) was probably one of the best waiters I've had. He was happy and funny and we didn't have to wait on anything. The food was great - the Pho was yummy and there was a great variety aside from the Pho. We had Egg rolls, noodles dishes, fried rice dishes and so much more. There was a kids corner with a few toys and everyone was happy. This was only my first visit but I'll definitely be back! read more

Pho Bar - Dragon dancer! - Vietnamese Near Me - Rio Rancho, New Mexico

This was our first time trying this place and I must say it was a very pleasant experience!! We dined here fir a late lunch. It wasn't too busy, but the staff is very friendly and attentive. We had the Vietnamese Iced Coffee, Korean Beef Bahn Mi and Beef Pho. All entrées were very tasty. The Bahn Mi was a good portion, 12 inch sandwich. I couldn't eat that on my own. Definitely worth sharing. And the Pho is served, small, medium and large. We ordered the small and still shared it. Happy to report it was a great dining experience for us. read more

The spring rolls are fresh and delicious and the pho is always perfect. I absolutely love Pho Bar.

The setup and decor is alright nothing to get too excited about, but it is clean and welcoming so I am fine with no frills. The 'kids play area" in the corner is a bit strange. The menu is long and a bit confusing so I decided to close it up and order right off the pictures on Yelp! I browsed through the pictures and found two things that look delicious and received great comments, so decided on the pork spring rolls and a small bowl of chicken pho. When they take your order they plug it directly to a mobile device at your table so the kitchen gets started as soon as you order. I love this feature, it is fast, efficient, modern and makes lunch as quick as can be. The spring rolls came first and I devoured them immediately, not a fan of the sauce it came with but I am fine with just a touch of soy. Then the pho came and it was amazing. I can hold my own in the eating department, but yes these two little spring rolls and "bowl of soup" filled me up. I was stuffed going back to work. I have been back a second time and repeated my same order and it was just as delicious as the first time. I am excited for this to become a new regular place for me. read more
