    Korean zing wings, 18 pieces
    Ruochen W.

    Want Vietnamese cuisine? Teriyaki? Japanese udon? Korean food? The answer at this place is "yes". The self serve pho veggie was brilliant and we were able to get the amount of bean sprouts and herbs that suited each individual. The pork banh mi with egg was creamy and deliciously sliced. My sandwich loving friend was very pleased. The pho is also good. I loved the service of pho in giant metal bowls. It added that wow factor of presentation. It was the picture of the wings that drew me to this place initially. The Korean zing flavored 18 piece wings set wasn't spicy at all though plenty juicy and flavorful.

    The pho was fine, nothing special. But $30 for a regular size bowl of noodles, broth, and maybe a quarter lb of beef and a small iced coffee feels insulting. Also the usual counter service and self-bus with expectation of a tip. The owner also parked his cybertruck in the no parking zone between two handicap spots--effectively blocking both for anyone who needs them--WHILE someone with a handicap sticker was parked there. I saw the driver of the handicap vehicle struggle to get into his vehicle while clearly in pain and yeah I'll never come back here again. I guess if you like asian pop music and a sterile eating environment it's chill.

    It was a nice restaurant. They have kind of a bar where you can grab what pho things you want so there isn't anything wasted its really nice. I will say the sprouts looked really sad but everything else looks good. The pho was good. They have lots of options. It was a little spendy imo, but maybe I'm just feeling inflation and missing the good ol days of 9.99 pho. The chicken wings we got were delicious.

    I liked that they had a serve yourself area for the toppings for the pho which leads to less waste. The portion was decent. The broth for the chicken pho was lacking the pho flavor, it tasted more like a chicken soup based stock.

    Regular Pho - Brisket and Flank Steak
    Keilyn K.

    I ordered a regular brisket and flank steak pho to go. It was nicely packaged and comes with a bowl you can use to eat out of, no chopsticks or spoon though. The broth was great and I appreciate getting the sides (sauce, basil, cilantro, jalapeños, and bean sprouts). The "regular" portion was perfect. The only downfall is that most of the flank steak had lots of connective tissue making it extremely chewy and some parts were inedible. Brisket was good though! Noodles were good too (I had to heat up my broth and let them sit for a bit to become softer). Overall 3/5. I would return again but I would probably just get brisket.

    Came here for a post workout meal and left pretty satisfied. I got the chicken breast katsu, which came with A LOT of katsu, some salad and rice, and katsu sauce. I was super impressed by the portion size here as they really loaded up on the protein! Taste wise, it was definitely more on the "fast food" side. I feel like Pho Box is more of a jack of all trades kind of restaurant, as they have a really extensive menu of different things including pho, Korean food, rice bowls, etc. You order at the front when entering the restaurant, and then choose a place to sit. The staff will bring out your food to you when it's ready. Service is pretty minimal outside of that, water and utensils are pretty self serve. Inside is decently large, with a good mix of small/large tables.

    We visited Pho Box with a big group on a Friday evening. It's a small, no-frills spot, so don't go in expecting much in terms of ambience. It's all about the food here! We ordered the chicken pho, chicken banh mi, and taro boba tea. The chicken pho had a flavorful broth, but it was a bit too mild for my liking. After adding chili oil and the hot sauces they provided, it really came to life and tasted great. The banh mi sandwich was a hit with my kid--she loved it! The standout for me, though, was the taro boba tea. It was so good--creamy, flavorful, and just the right amount of sweetness. If you're looking for solid food and don't mind the lack of atmosphere, Pho Box is worth a visit. I'd definitely go back just for the boba tea!

    Honey garlic wing plate

    Today was my fourth time going to pho box, I ordered my usual plate "crispy garlic wings". They brought me "honey garlic wings" ? No worries. Could have been a misinterpretation...So I let the server know and while doing so I also order me a side of rice. Server took the wings and said he was going to change them, I said thank you and waited; he comes back and tells me that there's nothing they can do about it because wings are expensive?? (The wings and rice I paid for.) he puts the plate back on the table and just walks away. I am very upset I paid $22.60 for 6 wings I didn't even eat. They brought me wings smothered in honey when the wings I get are crispy I'm not dramatic but these two very different things. I am very upset do as you please with the review

    I came here after my daughter's birthday party with the kids and my own family which was probably about 6 kids and two adults. They all ordered pho except me I just had a vermicelli bowl. Food was great and service per usual

    Went here as i was craving pho before flying Pho was okay. It was not as spice heavy as i would like, and wasn't topped as heavily. Cilantro could be added via the sauce bar however. The meatballs was delicious, as it has a heavy garlic flavor. I would recommend that topping if you were to go get pho. The meat in the bowl was not as seared compared to other places I've been, so it also wasn't as flavorful as I'd like. Service was good, the owners seem nice and was able to accommodate takeout requests. It was a casual place so it fit the vibe and atmosphere. The bahn mi looks to be value, so I'm curious about it. Would want to try it out whenever I get the next opportunity.

    We were really excited to try this place for the first time! We were excited about all the options they had available. We finally settled for the crab Rangoon, honey garlic wings, sundubu, and pho. Everything tasted really good! I've had better sundubu tofu soup elsewhere but it still tasted good. We'd love to come back and try other items on the menu. The cashier was friendly and explained where to grab sides and utensils. Nice little place on the inside. Also, the Thai tea was delicious! I forgot to take a picture but highly recommend everyone to give it a try!

    Very clean and fully stocked. A very nice touch.

    Went and had dinner here last night with my partner. The woman at the counter was very friendly, helpful and gracious. I ordered chicken pho and he ordered the pork banh-mi and spring rolls. The spring rolls are what I believe a spring roll should be. Simple and tasty with a crunch. The bread on the sandwich was fresh and the pho was nice to have. This establishment is clean, friendly, modern and spacious. They have a unique set up that I really enjoyed. We will definitely be back to enjoy other items on their menu.

    Located in a strip mall with lots of parking. You can either dine in or take out. I did take out. My order didn't take long, maybe 10 min. I ordered the shrimp vermicelli and spring rolls. Both were yummy. The spring roll could've used fresh basil and the vermicelli could've came with more vegetables and vermicelli considering the price. The taste was definitely there, just my preference for an abundance of fresh veggies. I would come back and try their bahn mi.

I'm going to be honest; I came in with peripheral vision because of so many mixed reviews from people we know but after experiencing it ourselves, we were blown away.

There were also a lot of mosquitoes inside and me and my dinner party got bug bites during our dinner. We saw a bug zapper above a dinner table and would have hated to be seated underneath that.. imagine hearing bug zaps while eating ugh. We would have probably stayed longer and enjoyed the sunset view if it weren't for all the mosquitos. I know you can't control nature but it was def impacting our overall experience and made us leave asap.

This night, it was pretty busy and we waited around 20 minutes for a table for 6. They had asked if we wanted to sit separately or wait an additional 20-30 min for sitting together. We sat at 2 4 tops next to each other. After sitting down for 10 minutes where no table settings were touched, a large table opened up and we asked if we could sit at the large table. Waitress said no, which we understood if there was a larger party coming. However, they ended up splitting the table into two for 2 small parties of less than 4. This left a sour taste in our mouth... If you have larger parties, expect to wait. They are very understaffed so service is poor. The food here is pretty good, but we will not be coming back. They have a good variety of more niche Vietnamese food. However, some of the soups seem to be mixed, we tasted some Bo Kho in our other soups. Parking was full in their lot that night, but there was ample street parking nearby as well.

After a little of standing awkwardly near the entrance, someone noticed us and motioned us to sit near the check out area which you do need to go up and pay rather than wait for someone to drop off a check. We were given waters and menus and given a decent amount of time to decide what we wanted. My friends got a lemonade with tea, Thai tea, shaking beef and combo vermicelli while my boyfriend got the shaking beef and egg rolls and I got the Bun Bo Hue and spring rolls. My boyfriend got his egg rolls and I didn't get my spring rolls until after everyone's' order came in so I have a feeling that the employee who took our order forgot or the kitchen forgot. There was no apology or anything for it either. I got my food first, after several minutes the shaking beef came out and after another a while my friend got his vermicelli bowl. Luckily we weren't pressed for time but it made it awkward as we didn't get our food at the same time and it took a bit to get them. I am a slow eater so I guess it worked out that I got mine first but I also didn't receive my spring rolls until I brought it up once we received everything else. The food was phenomenal and our friends said their drinks were perfect too. I did enjoy my Bun Bo Hue, though I did make it a bit more spicier with their chili oil. They have plenty of tables and chairs to accommodate all party sizes. They do have a bathroom but you have to go through a long, scary hallway to get to it. The tables have probably the cutest container for their chili oil but I appreciate that they have napkins, sriracha, hoisin, and utensils on the table. The employees don't really check in often and they didn't really come by to fill our waters until we were down with our meal. The service was also pretty much non-existent, it wasn't rude but just felt rushed and cold.
