Ventured out on a pho hunt and landed in Pho Che in Fort Lee NJ and I couldn't recommend it more! I went with my friend was seated immediately. The staff was very friendly and allowed us to take our time while decided on what to eat. We decided to share the garlic parsley fries and chicken fried rice. Firstly, I was unaware how huge the bowl of fries would be (no complaints here) and they were fresh and crispy! The fried rice was light in flavor, delicious and came with a side salad. My friend and I each got a bowl of pho for ourselves. I had the ribeye pho and she had the dumpling pho. Both phos were packed with flavor and rich. When looking for pho we both love a dark, well seasoned pho and that is exactly what Pho Che has. The noodles were thin and soft. The meat was tender and fresh. The meatballs had a wonderful flavor. The dumpling pho was so packed with dumplings you could get full just from that! The atmosphere is simple and comfy. Nothing too crazy in terms of aesthetic but this place is for good Vietnamese soul food. A clean restaurant with a homey vibe is enough for me. Very welcoming. If it's your first time or your 100th time, add Pho Che to your list of places to try. I plan on going back soon to try my very first Bahn Mi! read more

A cute little shop by the downtown area on a side street! Interior is small and quaint. Had a large bowl of pho here while I'm on my Fort Lee pho tour. The broth is perfectly acceptable/average, they do not remove the fat from the broth so it is a little oily if that bothers you. The broth was a little more salty than necessary and I think it contained msg. There was not much meat but the quality was excellent, not overcooked and tender. The noodles were not good. Broke apart and had a strange flavor. Service and shipping were par the course and unremarkable. Not bad at all but not good either! read more

Grabbed dinner at Pho Che on a Saturday. It's a small spot on Main Street, so there is only street parking. Fortunately, there are municipal lots nearby as well. We got the summer rolls, spicy pho, and combo pho. The summer rolls has a lot more lettuce than usual, but were pretty good. The combo pho had a lot of meat. I got the large bowl, and their were plenty of noodles. I enjoyed that the noodles had good texture, they did not break easily when i picked em up with chopsticks. The spicy pho was basically the same, but with added chili oil. You're probably better off ordering the regular pho and adding the chili sauce at the table so you can control the spice level. Service was quick and efficient, i would definitely return. read more

My all time favorite Pho spot for the past 3 years! Flavor of Pho never changes, serving is enough to feed 2 people for either size! The owner and workers are always welcoming and attentive, never a bad experience with the service. Everything is fresh and made to order. read more

Very tasty broth. One of the best pho in my life. Nice people. Right on Main Street. Good value.

I stopped by Bien Viennese mainly to enjoy a good bowl of soup, and it did not disappoint. The soup was delicious, flavorful, and spicy in a really good way. The staff asked me to choose the spice level (low, medium, or hot). I went with hot, and it was great, but if you don't tolerate spice well, I recommend starting with low. Low music comfortable they have seating looking the outside window. The flavor was amazing the meat, noodles, and broth all came together perfectly. I'll definitely stop by again to try other dishes, but the soup was one of my favorites during this visit. read more

The pork chops are so amazing!!! I would love to come back here again with my family. I even love their ice tea. My two aunts talked about coming there frequently because they love the noodles, and it was my first time here. read more

This is the perfect pho for the Korean palette. My favorite is the spicy pho and if just hits the spot especially on a cold day or after too many drinks!! I usually order delivery but dine in is good too for a quick casual meal. Service is quick and friendly. read more

Pho Che - Chicken Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Fort Lee, New Jersey

Had high expectations after visiting the Flushing location - especially looking forward to the French fries provenzal - and I'm so glad to say now I have a closer location! I tried the banh mi - super crunchy baguette and generous amount of meat and daikon-carrot salad (and cilantro). The mayo based sauce was a lot more watery in consistency which made the sandwich a bit messy. read more

Pho Che - 22. bbq pork banh mi - Vietnamese Near Me - Fort Lee, New Jersey

This is a Korean owned Viet restaurant and it really shows. I ordered a vermicelli bowl and the meat did not give me viet flavors at all. I was missing the lemongrass, limey flavors. The fish sauce was also off the mark. Instead, the meat honestly reminded me of bulgogi (Korean thin meat dish). Viet food is also known for its fresh herbs and leafy vegetables but this place basically only gives green scallions. The noodles are more like a flour, somen type? And not viet rice noodles. The meat also warmed up the noodles so it just.. wasn't fresh. I was missing the freshness of this dish. Also, they give you salad with a mayo based sauce, which to me just didn't fit with a vermicelli bowl dish at all. read more

I came here for lunch with my family on a Saturday afternoon. I usually go to Saigon Kitchen nearby but decided to check out this place. We ordered the beef/tendon pho, the BBQ beef over rice, and the pork/spring roll over vermicelli. The food was fresh and delicious. The BBQ beef was a bit tough though but the pho and the vermicelli were great. Service was fast and friendly. I would come back! read more

Prices were decent, and the ingredients were fresh. My only qualm about the food was that it didn't particularly carry the aromatics Vietnamese noodles typically have. Some recipes just should not be fumbled with. I understand spices can be expensive, but the lack of depth in the broth is pretty telling. Didn't know this place was a Korean chain. but for what it's worth, it's affordable. read more

My experience here was pretty mixed. On the one hand, the food was pretty good but there were a few issues that were quite disappointing to me, particularly the portion sizes. My fiancé ordered the large spicy pho, which came with different kinds of meat, including beef, tripe, shrimp and tendon. We didn't realize before ordering that the meat would be uncooked. They provided the broth and the veggies along with the noodles and uncooked meat, which surprisingly was actually a good amount. The broth is really oily and messy. They bag it in a plastic bag, which helps, but I'm not a big fan of cooking my own takeout. What's the point of ordering? I know they're not the only Vietnamese restaurant that does it this way and I appreciate that the food is more "fresh" that way, but it's not my thing. Cooking aside, the bigger issue I had was with my meal. The menu is very noodle heavy with only a couple of rice dishes. I went with the bbq chicken rice dish, which wasn't actually bbq (not sure why it's called that). It was nicely flavored and I enjoyed it a lot. Even the rice was nicely flavored. However, I had ordered extra chicken with the intent of having leftovers for the week. The portion I received was so meager that I was shocked. It would probably be a normal amount had I not asked for extra, but it felt like a rip off since we specifically ordered extra. The pho was definitely enough for two and cost the same as the rice dish, so it was surprising. Overall, it was a good meal, but I think it would be much better as a dine-in option than for takeout. If the portion of extra chicken had been appropriate, I probably would've rated it 4 stars. read more

After a recent let down from my go-to place for Pho, I decided to check out a more recent addition to the Fort Lee restaurant scene, Pho Che. Ordered a bowl of Pho to go. Portion was fresh, generous, and well-presented. Still not the broth flavor and aroma I am used to, and am hoping to find again, but certainly tasty. Would order again from Pho Che! read more

Not a fan. Ordered takeout and they messed up our order. We ended up getting someone else's order, which meant one of us had to skip dinner. Fortunately, we weren't overcharged. Besides the mishap, their pho broth doesn't appeal to me - too salty and lacking depth and complexity and all the familiar herbaceous notes I miss from pho. Additionally, I prefer sriracha over chilli garlic. read more

There are so many pho places around this area, so this place doesn't necessarily stand out to me. However, it was good so I'm not opposed to going again :) The only con is that parking can be hard to find (only paid street parking, although I think it's free after 6PM?). I wasn't feeling pho that day so I ended up getting the bbq beef banh mi, and it was pretty good and filling for the price. I also got a small side bowl of beef soup which is basically just the pho broth. On the menu (under the "Extra" section), the side of soup is $5, but I think we were only charged $3? I think there's two sizes of side soup but they only advertise the larger size on the menu. When I was ordering, my server did ask if I wanted the large or small and I said small. It was a good size for what I wanted, so if you don't want to pay $5 for a big bowl, try to ask if you can get the smaller size :) The food came relatively fast and the portion sizes were great. The vibes were casual and it's a good place to meet up with friends. read more

I like the option to choose raw noodles for takeout. When I get home, I heat up the soup and put in the noodles for a minute for Al dente noodles. The other parts of the pho (vegetables, bean sprouts, lime, basil, tofu, etc. are separate so you add what you want). Healthy and delicious! read more

It was a late evening and we were on the hunt for a restaurant that was still open. It came down to a place that served soup dumplings and Vietnamese food. Vietnamese won. There were still a few diners when we arrived. We order the BBQ pork with rice and BBQ chicken with vermicelli. They were delicious! The BBQ pork was delightfully unexpected. It looked more like bulgogi but just as good. It is a cute little place. Service is friendly and efficient. Definitely recommend! read more

wish i got a photo of my broth at the end of dinner. the liquid separated from what looked like powder mix -- which normally would t happen if it was real broth (simmered over time). there are better options in the area. with that said, if you need a quick pho fix within walking distance of main street, then sure, give this place a try. read more

Pho Che on Main Street in Fort Lee, NJ, is now a newly cherished spot for us and many locals. Can't rave enough about their flavorful pho, its hearty broth and generous portions. The chicken and beef is very tender, the banh mi crispy, and I've heard the garlic fries are phenomenal. So far everything we've had... has been very good. Offering a diverse range of delicious options. The ambiance is cool and the service is speedy and courteous, making it a great choice for a super casual family night out or a quick, satisfying meal. Comparing it to nearby spots in terms of ingredient quality, it stands out for its value, friendly atmosphere, and overall quality, making it a must-visit for pho lovers in the area. Give them a try!! @vinopotato read more

This small and low key establishment became our favorite family night out. Everyone in the family loves pho, even the 2-year-old so the fact they have it is win. We usually get Phos, a meat dish with rice & salad and French fries. All good. Service is amazing! The waiters are attentive and always anticipate what my little ones need (like a rubber-ban for chopsticks so they can eat like 'adults'). The food is good; everyone is friendly and it's low key. You can't beat that on a Saturday night when I don't have the energy to cook and the whole family wants something that's quick and good. We went several times and have not been disappointed yet. We usually even have some leftovers for the next day. Worth a try! read more

New pho spot in fort lee! Ingredients feel very fresh too. Here's what we got: Bahn mi 4/5: taste is there, it's yummy, bread toasted just right but the sauce is a bit too watered down and meat portion is small Pho combo special 3.5/5: the soup base didn't give me an oomph but it's not bad - I got. Large but feels like a regular size at other locations so def smaller portion compared to other viet rests. Meat portion once again pretty bare bone but it was indeed very tender to the mouth Vermicelli with bbq pork 4/5: larger portion than the other dishes for sure! The the bbq beef tasted better from last time so would get that over pork read more

Ate here twice since it's grand opening. I usually go to the franchise spot in Bayside Queens. I was thrilled to have them open one here in Fort Lee. The menu is exactly the same. The food was great, I've tried their regular house special pho, fried rice, & spring rolls. The broth is very deep and rich. They give you a side of onions to eat with your pho and meats. Giving 4 stars because I thought they could've added more meats in the noodle soup, it was less portion than other pho restaurants around. Also, parking is kind of a pain being on Main Street. You can either street park or park behind the store in the municipal lot. *Couldn't take any photos both times because I was too hungry and impatient to eat!* read more

My boyfriend and I were so impressed by Pho Che's yummy food, huge portion sizes, AND affordable prices. We ordered the small pho with rare steak and brisket, bbq pork bahn mi, and french fries provenzal. The food was delicious but we still had a lot to take home after. The fries were so crispy and garlicky. They were a little too oily for me and I wish it came with a spicy mayo instead of ketchup and mustard. Definitely have more than 2 people eating the fries if you order, because they give a lot! The bahn mi was equally good and we were surprised by how good the bread was. The pho was huge even for a small size, and the broth and noodles were light so it doesn't leave you feeling too full after a few sips. I honestly think if you're just coming with one other person, you can order one dish and share between the two of you (not for the bahn mi though...I'm not sharing that). Besides the food, the staff was very attentive and considerate. They heard me telling my boyfriend that I was cold and turned on the heat and when my boyfriend's hands got wet from squeezing like into our pho they brought napkins without us having to ask. We really appreciated it!! The inside is a little on the smaller side but had a cozy feel. Def recommend checking this place out if you're in the area!! read more

Pho was tasty- got the house special, good amount of beef and tripe. The fries Provençal were really good.

Came across this new restaurant in Fort Lee! I came here on their grand opening and then again on the second day to see what they got! Day one: Number 5 house special combo Ingredients were amazing. They paid a lot of attention to keeping things fresh. Definitely a plus, on keeping cilantro fresh and onions slices were so fine. The meat portion was small, but there was a variety of it: beef ball, tendon, brisket, and actual rare steak** ***Two down sides, one was the soup. The soup was clear and clean! But the scent of the beef soup was on the faint side.*** ***Secondly, the packaging. All the noodles and ingredients were in a large thin plastic container. And then a quart of soup. I had to find my own bowl to mix everything*** If you're up for a light bowl of pho, dining in at this restaurant would be recommended! Day two: Number 22 BBQ pork Bahn Mi. Bread crispy crispy! On point! The BBQ definetly had its flavor, along with their very spicy jalapeno! Make sure to take out if you can't tolerate! ***Only one thing threw me off, the pickled daikon and carrots. Didn't really pack any flavor compared to wha. I'm used to.*** But none the less, this was a very fulfilling meal. One tip! They didn't cut the Bahn Mi in half, so unless you want to eat a LARGE Bahn Mi sandwich by yourself, I would try to ask them to cut it before they package! Shout out to the nice cashier who noticed I came back a second day! Thank you for being so friendly! read more

Pho Pho Pho! The pho at Pho Che had a wonderful foundation of the classic item you find in pho. The broth was savory, the noodles were bouncy, and the meat was tender. With an additional sprinkle of bean sprout, mint leaves, and lime, this was what I expect a typical bowl of pho to taste like. While it wasn't anything special, it did hit all the right spots. The spring rolls were okay at best - so just stick to the pho! read more

Pho Che is one of the most pleasant and delicious Vietnamese (albeit, run by korean speaking staff, I believe..) dining experiences in the area. The pho broth is just the right level of richness, without being salty or "oily" feeling. The banh mis are also expertly made and very well balanced. Garlic French fries might seem to be an unusual selection at a pho place, but they're remarkably fresh, and everyone loves them. Last, but certainly not least, the staff here are unfailingly polite; they're quick to address anything you might need, and will even help pack any leftovers you might have, rather than just handing you a box for it. Location is central, convenient, and never overly crowded for the times we've visited. read more

Came for a quick dinner with a friend. We were seated immediately. The staff was very polite, professional and friendly. The restaurant is spacious and has plenty of tables. For apps, We ordered a spring roll and summer roll to share. Then we ordered a pho each for our main. A little disappointed with the spring rolls and summer rolls. The Summer roll had no vermicelli/mint/pork. Seemed less authentic. The spring rolls lacked flavor. Same for the dipping sauce. Thankfully, the pho saved the day! Its clear beefy broth is packed with flavor and fragrance. Overall, good service and good pho. Definitely give them a try. read more

We came here because the pho restaurant right next to it was too busy so we decided to give this place a try. Service is great and the place is cozy. The pho was tasty and portion was great. We also got spring rolls but weren't impressed, they lacked flavor & was pretty much bland. It's just not authentic compared to the other pho places in fort lee. This place is good for a quick pho fix but we'd probably opt for the other neighboring Vietnamese restaurants in fort lee next time. read more

Pho Che - Beef 5. Sm House combo - Vietnamese Near Me - Fort Lee, New Jersey

A cute new Vietnamese place on Main Street. The owners were friendly and the restaurant was clean. Things I tried: The phở đặc biệt: I ordered the large and honestly, I think it just comes in a larger bowl with additional noodles/broth. The broth was clear but had no real depth or flavor. There was barely any brisket, meatballs, or tendons. Highly disappointing for the large size. The spring rolls: they were overstuffed with delicious filling but did not taste authentic. The nước mắm sauce to dip was not flavorful either. Vietnamese iced coffee did not taste authentic drip. It tasted powdered and instant. Im not entirely certain but I don't believe this is an authentic Vietnamese place. I don't see myself coming here again for the pho which is unfortunate. May try the bánh mì and update my review. Also why is the place called pho che if there's no Che aka Vietnamese desserts? read more
