Pho Chef - Spicy shrimp noodle soup - Vietnamese Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

This place looked clean inside with nice staff. I ordered a beef sandwich & pho combination to go. Service was quick and the flavor of the sandwich was good. I wouldn't consider this authentic Vietnamese food. It's seems to be or have Cambodian fusion. The beef has good flavor but it wasn't a traditional baguette bread and the veggies were cut in a different way. Decent place to visit if you're looking to try out Asian food, but as a Vietnamese from CA, this is very different. read more

Have been twice now. Food is amazing and very affordable! I tried both the pho and the grilled beef trio. Can't say enough good things. Food comes out fast. People are very nice! read more

Pros: Good location with easy parking Super fast service and take out order was ready within a few minutes Beef noodle soup P1 was a good sized portion Shrimp spring rolls A2 - enjoyed the light appetizer with the peanut dipping sauce Lots of menu options Cons: pho broth lacked strong flavor Milk tea with boba only had minimal boba. The boba was also hard and lacked chewiness Pro tip: The do brisk take-out business, but they are super-efficient and friendly. A good way to go if you don't have time to dine in. read more

Nice, friendly and efficient service but the food was just average. I ordered Curry Chicken and it wasn't bad but vegetables were too crunchy for me. Not bad but nothing special. I went with a large group and the general consensus was that the food was just OK. read more

Pho Chef - Curry Chicken - Vietnamese Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

A solid place for Vietnamese food! My go-to has been the Pho cà ri gà, curry chicken rice noodle (S7), which has a curry flavored broth and chunks of chicken in it. The spice level is pretty mild but the curry flavor is so delicious. It also has onions and some cilantro in it but I added even more cilantro to it and it was . The regular pho and spicy beef noodle are good as well! Service was pretty quick considering we had a huge group. They did mix up an order but that was understandable given the group size. read more

Delicious and fresh authentic Vietnamese food! Very friendly staff too. The food arrived at our table in a timely manner. The Vietnamese rolls were made upon ordering. Appreciated that there were different varieties available to order. The shrimp was tender, not overcooked. The grilled pork was easy to eat, not tough. Lots of main courses on the menu to choose from. Highly recommend one of their dishes with chicken. The chicken in the dish I ate was perfectly cooked. I liked that it was thin and easy to eat with chopsticks. read more

Pho Chef - Shrimp roll & pork roll - Vietnamese Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Came here on a rainy day during the week and it wasn't too busy. As a Vietnamese person growing up eating the food, I am extra picky with my Vietnamese food. Service was fast which I appreciated. We ordered the shrimp spring rolls, combination pho, and the eggroll + grilled pork vermicelli noodle combo. We also ordered a mango smoothie and thai iced tea. The spring rolls came out right away. There wasn't enough of the peanut dipping sauce and the rolls barely had any noodles and were missing the herbs so I was bummed about that. Our entrees came out not too long after. The pork in the vermicelli noodles were pretty good - not dry and had good flavor. I will say the egg rolls were pretty good also! It was just a bummer you only get one in the entire bowl. We ended up ordering a side of eggrolls to put in the noodles. The pho was just okay. It was almost on the bland side for me since the broth seemed watered down. I was sad to see they didn't have bun bo hue (Vietnamese spicy & sour soup) as that is also a Vietnamese staple. read more

This spot is a pretty authentic restaurant! A few other groups dined in for dinner like we did on a rainy Monday night. Chopsticks, napkins, and spoons were already at the table. If you want a fork, you gotta ask for it. I'm basic and usually order pho, bunh, or banh mi at Vietnamese spots but wanted to try something else. Seems like a family-owned restaurant. The wife came to take our orders and I asked for suggestions. She said the soups and stir fry are the best options. I went with a very spicy beef stir fry option she suggested, while my friend for a spicy beef soup. Sizzle sizzle! It was hot! But also very well flavored and so delicious! The stir fry had lots of basil, bean sprouts and maybe egg? They used the wide flat noodles, so I got full fast. My friend loves spicy food, even has a hotter spice tolerance than me. (She doesn't think the hottest option at HCT is even all that spicy lol). I was shocked to hear that it was so spicy for her!! I also got Thai iced tea while she also ordered an iced tea to cool her tongue. So refreshing! Really great, friendly service here. Can't wait to come back and try many things off the menu! read more

My partner and I went in on a Wednesday, about 45 minutes before closing. We didn't have to wait to be seated. Since it was our first time there, we had a couple of questions about the menu. We were so grateful to our server she was patient, polite, and took the time to explain the dishes and portion sizes to us, even recommending some of her personal favorites. Our Pho came out quickly, fresh, and hot. When closing time came, we weren't quite finished yet. My partner let them know we wouldn't be much longer since we realized they had just closed, but they assured us not to worry and encouraged us to finish eating comfortably. The service was excellent, and we will definitely be coming back! read more

Ordered to steak pho to go. It's actually my first time trying pho in Columbus. It was a great sized portion but the broth really lacked flavor, and they barely gave any beef. Would try something else if I went here again. read more

Pho Chef - S16. Spicy Filet Steak Rice Noodle Soup Bowl - Vietnamese Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

This is authentic Vietnamese food! A very friendly lady generously waved her arm to let us choose our seats. It comforted us to see that the other patrons were Vietnamese. My husband ordered the pho and I ordered the stir-fried basil beef flat noodles. We also ordered an appetizer. When she brought our appetizer, she also brought a large cup of hot water that contained our metal utensils. I was impressed. What a great idea! I mean, in the winter, who wants to eat their meal with cold utensils? The appetizer was OK. The bowl of pho was brought out by a man. I thought that is smart to let the stronger person bring out the heavy bowls of soup. If I served soup all day, I know I would be wiped out. My husband said is pho was delicious and filled him up just right. When I took a bite of my noodles, all I could say was, "Yes, yes, and yes!" We will definitely come again. read more

I got the chicken pho and my girlfriend got the chicken fried rice. The meat was extremely juicy and flavorful, highlighted for me by the soothing, perfectly seasoned broth. It came with fresh bean sprouts, basil, lime and jalapeños and a hefty serving size for a "small". I really appreciated the speedy and friendly service. We also got two waters and menus at our table almost immediately. Definitely not our last trip here! read more

On my final full day in Columbus, after shopping at two amazing grocery stores (Fresh Market and Trader Joe's), I was hungry. I did a quick Yelp search and found Pho Chef. I drove over there, which was a ridiculous three minutes away from the latter grocery store. I realized recently that no matter where I am in this world, I tend to get Vietnamese food. In Frankfurt? Yes, I hit a pho restaurant. Columbus was no different. I parked in a plaza on a Sunday afternoon. I didn't have a problem finding a spot. I walked in and was immediately greeted by a smiling woman. I got a table, sat down, and started leaving through the menu. Most Vietnamese restaurants tends to offer your usual fresh rolls, pho, vermicelli rolls, and rice dishes. Pho Chef is unique in that you can also get banh mi sandwiches. You are already in my good books! I got grilled meatballs as an appetizer. I then got beef brisket and flank pho. You get pho in small and large sizes only. I had to ask my server how large the large size was. If you know me well, I tend to point to the bowl size that a patron has, which makes me visualize better. "Is the large what that person is eating?" I asked my server. "That's a small. The large is what the man behind you is eating," she replied. It's nice that she went along with me. I forgot that being in the States, sizes are larger than you think they are. I went with a small, which is really our large. The grilled meatballs came first. They were tasty, flavourful, and just downright yummy. I was in heaven eating them and dipping them in the sauce that accompanied them. My beef brisket and flank pho came. It looked so good. It came with bean sprouts, hot peppers that were sliced, and mint. It did not have a lime wedge, which didn't upset me. It was a flashback to how I used to eat pho. The verdict? The soup broth was delicious. It was authentic and perfect. It wasn't salty. The brisket and flank were tender and full of flavour. I tend to cringe when I get tough flank. I didn't here. I absolutely stumbled on a gem of a restaurant. I got my bill, which came with a fortune cookie. I broke my fortune cookie open and ate it. I still need to play my lucky lottery numbers. I paid at the counter. Credit cards are accepted. I let the woman know how yummy the food was. She appreciated it, called me sweetie, and gave me my bill. I visited the washroom before leaving. It was clean. There is only one washroom for women and another for men. When I am back in Columbus, I'm definitely returning here. I'd love to give the banh mi varieties a try. (420) read more

Pho Chef is another pho place in northwest Columbus. It's in a strip mall. This is the same one with the other Asian place that changes all the time. It's a bit more authentic. The prices are mostly okay. I had the Basil Tofu Flat Noodles It's about $7.50 for this which isn't bad for the portion. Maybe it's not the best, but it's not the worst. It's one of the few vegan items on the menu. They only have meat broth for pho. It has several noodle and rice dishes. The menu is pretty authentic looking. It certainly is more so than those Americanized get your pho at the counter places that are popular around here. The spice is also much stronger. Pho Chef is a good place for Asian. It's specialty is pho of course. You can also find other Asian items. read more

On a snowy morning seated up in the window area, Pho Chef brought the comforting, umami, delicious pho I needed. A very pleasant time was had for all, and when we took a good amount of time catching up after we finished we were never felt rushed. The pho itself had a good broth and sufficient bean sprouts and basil to accompany. I am a Vietnamese person from San Francisco, so I am constantly measuring places up to Bay Area standards, though I am trying to adjust to Columbus life and set expectations appropriately. That being said, I'm realizing that Pho Chef is completely what one should hope for when hunting for some beefy, pho goodness around these parts. I am grateful. Price felt a dollar or so higher than I'm used to for a standard sized bowl of pho, but still under $14 per person. read more

Visit Pho Chef for authentic Vietnamese food! We had a family lunch here and they were able to accommodate our group of almost 20! Even with so many of us, the employees were able to bring out all of our orders in such a timely manner. I had the pho tai and felt that the broth was flavorful and delicious. I can't speak to any of their other dishes but everyone in our group definitely enjoyed their food :) I'm really happy we dined here and I'll definitely be back when I visit Columbus again. read more

As we're venturing out more and more, revisiting some old haunts, including this mainstay in our restaurant rotation. Visited here on Saturday and pleased to report that nothing has changed since COVId. Meaning, the service is quick and the food is excellent. Started with the shrimp rolls and chicken rolls and followed that up with the meatball pho. Daughter and wife split the chicken pho, ordering the large bowl. I had the small, which was more than enough and the large worked perfectly for them. read more

We've been to to this place a couple of times. Got some takeout from Pho-Chef most recently. We wanted one of their pork banh-mi sandwiches but they were out. Got the beef Pho and the vermicelli with shrimp and pork. For appetizers we got the cold rice wrap, which is a soft Vietnamese spring roll with shrimp. The roll was quite good, especially with the accompanying peanut sauce. The pork in the vermicelli dish was delicious but the shrimp was not that great. The pho was okay. This is a pretty decent pho place, but I would personally rate it somewhat lower than others like buckeye pho that are not too far away. read more
