Always one of our favorites! Best pho in town! The restaurant offers both dine on and take out, as well as delivery through door dash/uber eats. The ambiance of the restaurant is casual, but nice. Service is always good-- quick and attentive.

The Pho is on par with other Vietnamese restaurants - tasty, hearty, and filling. Always a blessing to have some good pho. However, they're always playing some trashy Christian radio station on the speakers (it cycles between pop music and Christian songs). It was also a bit stuffy inside. Maybe they could add in some better airflow and turn on the AC for a bit longer. Other than that, good food, good service. Just wish they didn't shove their religion down everyone's throats.

Pho Chau is my favorite place to eat in Rochester. This is some really authentic Vietnamese food. Everything here is so flavorful, and my favorite part is that the food can get very spicy! For example, the Bo Kho here is so good. The broth was delicious, and I loved adding the chili crisp/oil provided at the table. The beef was very tender, and the noodles were perfectly chewy too. I got a side of the Fresh Spring Rolls with Shrimp, which were also delicious and paired well with the spicy broth. The menu is quite diverse and has non-noodle/spicy dishes too, including vegetarian options. The service was very quick and the staff were all very friendly. There were plenty of tables too, and this restaurant would be particularly great for large groups. Definitely come and visit Pho Chau!

Great and fast service. Amazing food. I was pleasantly surprised at how great and flavorful everything was. Highly recommend.

This place is a little out of the way, but it feels like a hidden gem in Roch. The staff is quiet, knowledgeable, and helpful. I thought the pho tai broth had depth and was fatty with being greazy. This was a quick in and out visit, so I didn't try anything else, but I will definitely be back to try other menu items. Their chili oil was excellent!

No frills pho place with good soup base. Casual dining with fast service. For most the dishes you choose the style and then add the protein which is extra. It's a little pricier than other places - but given the location in Rochester I would say a premium is not unwarranted. Solid food. I'd go back again. Boba teas are also pretty good.

Service is amazing and food too. I've tried many types of pho and none of them compare to this one. I live 1 hour away and drive to eat this pho Definitely recommend

Pho Chau is amazing. The service is beyond fantastic. The food is on point. I love how the pho broth is a little fatty. Most restaurants skin the access fat from the bone and the broth just becomes too clean for me lol Their Springrolls are different from what I'm used to, but it's still good. I love their Chicago fried rice. Something about it is just... so delicious. I highly recommend arriving early as they do get busy quickly.

The service can be better. I dont like when they give the bill on the table as soon as the foods is out. The chicken broth pho is not too tasty. My cousin said the beef pho is better. I will give it a try next time. The Vietnamese coffee is good and have good taste of the coffee (not just sweetness). Ambiance of the restaurant is okay. I m not too fond of it

Pho Chau is not too bad, especially if you're looking for a fix on Vietnamese food. However, with proximity to Pho Tai and other Asian dineries, it is more of a backup restaurant. Menu is not quite as extensive and is pretty overwhelming from a price perspective. A bowl of Pho will run you like $14-15 which is about 20% more than other places. The rice platter (3.5/5) ordered was not as traditional. The rice was not broken, the meat was drenched with food coloring, and the lack of meat loaf and few other items made it disappointing. Wife was feeling Pad Thai (3/5), and this version was really oily. The use of fish sauce was nice, but a little more overpowering than others Overall, Pho Chau is not too bad, but prices and alternatives make it challenging to re-visit.

This review marks my 500th in 2021. It's fitting that I write about a Vietnamese restaurant in Rochester, a city that I called my home for two years. Back when I was a resident, there weren't any Vietnamese eateries in Rochester. I couldn't get a bowl of pho. I resorted to either making my own or heading up to the Twin Cities to get my fix. Just before the pandemic started, I visited Kung Fu Tea and noticed Pho Chau next door. I bookmarked it. On Christmas Eve, I was driving up from Elma, Iowa, and needed lunch. I remembered Pho Chau and drove over here. There is parking in front of this restaurant. There is also more parking around the eatery. I parked closest to N. Broadway Avenue and walked in. A woman was prompt greeting me. She got me a menu and guided me to a booth. It was just before 3 pm and I was hungry. I got the following items: - Fried chicken dumplings - Beef and meatball pho (#17 on the menu) My food came out fairly fast. Both items were brought to my table at the same time. I practically inhaled all six fried chicken dumplings. I was so hungry. These dumplings were great. Each one had plenty of filling. The wrapper on each was thin and crispy. The dipping sauce was yummy. The dumplings were so flavourful. I'd get them again. The pho comes in one size. I got a huge bowl of comfort placed in front of me. I added the bean sprouts and cilantro into my pho, and squeezed the lime. The broth was excellent. It was authentic and so good that the broth scent stayed on my clothes for a while. The beef was tender and didn't require much effort to eat. The meatballs were hearty. The noodles were perfect. I loved it. The removal of a star in my rating was abruptly getting my bill from this woman without being asked if I wanted anything else. She dictated that I was done. Weird. Part of me wanted the che 3 mau, but I decided to now skip it and revisit Kung Fu Tea instead. I went up to the counter to pay for my food with a credit card. I tipped and paid. All done! I used the women's washroom before making the hour drive up to Eagan. It's a single stall and was clean. I'd return again. If I do want the che 3 mau next time, I'll need to order it with the rest of my meal before I automatically get the bill. (500)

Early Lunch, A table for 2 ATMOSPHERE: Clean. Good size dining area. Typical Vietnamese cafe style set up. SERVICE: Pretty good. They frequently came by to see if we were doing okay and our drinks were filled appropriately timed. FOOD: Fresh and Good but not the best we've had. Husband got the pho, as usual. He liked it but it was not outstanding. I ordered the won ton egg noodle soup. It was tasty but a little salty. Not enough egg noodles provided though. We also ordered ice coffee and eggrolls. The coffee was nice - not too strong. The eggrolls were okay. We also got the shredded pork rolls...which are spring rolls with shredded pork inside. They were a bit dry but that's the nature of the shredded pork. OVERALL: Great place to stop in for lunch. Considering the lack of options in this area...this place isn't bad. read more

Coming from Hawaii last year, we wanted to find something that reminded us of home and we found it in the Pho here. Just like home, if not better. Then new ownership took over. Now it is an absolute shame. Prices jacked up yet food lost its genuine taste and smaller portions. I guess the upped prices weren't meant to cover better ingredients. Just coasting on the reputation that Mama Chau worked hard for. Save yourself some grief and money and make your way to Pho Tai. read more

Exactly what they're supposed to be: well flavored, authentic seasonings, good menu options (very few vegetarian choices though), well priced. It gets crowded, but service is fully adequate and the restaurant seems friendly and enjoyable. Portions are generous -- unless you're incredibly hungry, you'll definitely have leftovers for next day's lunch. I'd definitely eat at Pho Chau again. read more

When I go to a Pho joint, I will usually order Pho Tai and a spring roll appetizer. I've come here about five times over a year and I have never been impressed. The Pho here is below average. The spring rolls here are below average. The flavor of the broth was nothing special. The beef has always come out chewy and not tender. The items they serve to mix with the Pho are limited in quantity and variety. Tables do not come with your standard chili sauce or other basic sauces. The interior is nice but crowded. Parking is very limited and generally awful. Getting out of the location and onto Broadway also is a hassle because traffic during busy hours will prohibit you from turning left onto the street. read more

I ordered the tofu lemongrass vermicelli noodle bowl and it blew me away. I've been eating a largely vegetarian diet my entire life and many tofu dishes often require adding flavor - not the case with the tofu lemongrass vermicelli noodle bowl! I didn't add a thing and it was over the top delicious. Highly, highly recommend ordering it. The service was wonderful too. The only reason I'm not giving this place 5 stars is because the dish I ordered wasn't on the menu. I had to ask for it. Also, they don't offer a vegetarian pho option (or at least it's not on the menu). read more

Went on a Monday evening with family: Appetizer: Crab Rangoon: fresh, crispy, presented well. Accompanying sauce was good but very sweet. Not enough filling however. Entree: Clay pot chicken: was incredibly hot and stayed that way. To the point I couldn't eat it for a while. After that, food was bland despite adding sauces. Drink: Vietnamese iced coffee with condensed milk: very strong even after the addition of more milk. Could not finish it. I also became pretty sick to my stomach thirty minutes after eating. If I try this restaurant again, I will definitely try the lemon grass vermicelli chicken, as my father had it and it was pretty good. read more

One gal serving tables and at the counter, but she was friendly and available. I got the Crab Rangoons and Drunken Noodles with pork. SO GOOD. The Crab Rangoon came as an order of 4 packed full and folded over into a triangle rather than a pouch. More room for filling! Drunken noodles were perfect. Wide flat noodles, plentiful veggies and pork, not very spicy (great for my mild palate). I wish I got to order the Shrimp Blanket but they had sold out earlier in the day. Guess I'll just have to go back I just hope they have diet soda when I go back. Odd to only have Pepsi or Mt Dew

Had a wonderful lunch at the Thai Bistro today…read more Our server was quiet yet polite, very knowledgable of the menu (was able to assist with a friend who has food allergies). For a midday Wednesday, in Mason City, we were the only customers. While this was the case, the restaurant itself had music set at a decent conversational level, the restaurant was clean and prepped for any rush of service, and it didn't feel as if the server was avoiding our table or checking in too frequently. The food came out looking professional, and was delicious! I personally love how there were five levels of heat provided for those looking for spicer meals. If you're looking for a filling and quick lunch in Mason City, I highly recommend the Level 3 Chicken Fried Rice with a California roll on the side!

If you're looking for authentic, comforting Vietnamese cuisine in Rochester, I can confidently say that Pho Chau is one of the best spots in town. From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed by a warm, inviting atmosphere that perfectly matches the kind of experience you hope for when enjoying traditional Vietnamese food. What truly stands out at Pho Chau is the quality and flavor of their dishes especially the pho. The broth is rich, aromatic, and deeply satisfying, clearly made with care and attention to detail. Many diners highlight how flavorful and consistent the pho is, with fresh herbs and perfectly cooked noodles elevating every bite. Whether you go for beef pho, chicken pho, or a combination bowl, it's the kind of meal that instantly feels comforting and authentic. Beyond pho, the menu offers a wide variety of Vietnamese classics and even some Thai-inspired options, giving you plenty to explore. Appetizers like spring rolls and egg rolls are fresh and well-prepared, and the restaurant also features a surprisingly extensive drink menu with items like Thai tea and flavored beverages that pair perfectly with your meal. Another major highlight is the service. Many guests mention how friendly and accommodating the staff are, often going out of their way to make sure every customer feels taken care of. Whether you're dining in or grabbing takeout, the service is typically quick and efficient, making it a great option for both casual lunches and relaxed dinners. Pho Chau has built a strong reputation locally, earning around a 4.0star rating across hundreds of reviews and ranking among the top Vietnamese restaurants in Rochester. That kind of consistency speaks volumes, especially in a city where good Vietnamese food can be hard to find. Overall, Pho Chau delivers an excellent balance of flavor, variety, and service. Whether you're a longtime fan of Vietnamese cuisine or trying pho for the first time, this restaurant offers a satisfying and memorable dining experience. It's definitely a place you'll want to come back to again and again. **5/5 - Highly recommended read more

Awesome food! The location was very easy to find, but the exterior lacked in curb appeal. When you get inside its okay though. Clean, and the decor has a nice Asian feel. The menu is HUGE and it's in Vietnamese (I think? I don't know for sure though). The waitstaff wasn't on the top of their game, but you could tell they were very busy with take out orders. Once we did manage to get someone to take our order, they were very helpful in deciphering the menu, and had great suggestions on what to order. The spring rolls and the crab rangoons are a MUST! I'm not a fan of cilantro, but my mother is and she said the spring rolls were amazing. I tried a bit and they were really great until the cilantro kicked in. I had the crab rangoons and they were amazing! I could have eaten just those and been totally satisfied! Yum! After that my mom got the beef Pho and I got the shrimp lo mien. It came out surprisingly fast and it was the perfect temperature. The portion sizes are HUGE which is nice because I love having leftovers for later at night but they would also be great for sharing. read more

How many restaurants can you walk into, and be greeted by name? In Rochester, MN Pho Chau is the one every single time! Chou, the owner remembers everyones name, and welcomes you into her restaurant when you come. It's worth the experience. Next if you are up for it, try the Pho Soup, it is a flavor filled meal in itself that can fill you up not once, but for a couple meals if you are not careful. The servers are attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The kitchen serves up food that tastes great and comes out in a timely manner. Even when the restaurant is filled, the kitchen seems to flow smoothly. Bring your friends, your family, the neighborhood. read more

Look, I love it when the owner knows your name. It's another thing when she remembers you three months later. Chou is that owner, and she's the best. As for the staff, they are attentive and knowledgeable about the menu and cuisine. The kitchen puts out food that is delicious and efficient. And if you are up to the challenge, order the Pho Soup, it's a meal in itself. I keep coming back, and always bring friends and family with, it's worth the experience. read more

Delicious and really large portions. That's enough for me. Details: We ordered the shrimp rolls, the appetizer seafood soup, and the Pho Seafood. First of all, the food tasted really delicious. It was fresh and each item had a distinct flavor. Really impressed by this place. Second, the portions were huge! They were very friendly. The only thing that can be improved is the service speed. Otherwise it was an awesome experience. read more

Great food, great people (especially the owner lady). Pho Chau is a place that isn't very well located, the indoor decoration is not great but it is very authentic and the food is delicious. Additionally, this restaurant is quite inexpensive. Make sure you don't come too late, they close early. (Best time to come is at 8.00PM, there are less people). I recommend strongly their Bun Bo mix! read more

I love the spring rolls and vegan pho at Pho Chau! You won't see the vegan pho on the menu, but if you ask for a vegetable pho with vegetable broth, they will gladly make it! I always add fried tofu to mine. It is so filling and delicious! Casual setting with great prices. read more
