    The pho was good, brother was rich and meats were generous. Unfortunately the spring rolls were lacking and the vietnamese coffee was sweet and mon fragrant.

    Had a date night with my husband at this spot. I was feeling under the weather and wanted soup-- this was perfection. My husband described his flank & brisket soup as "good" and "it were tasty-like... strike that... don't publish that, Maria. Stop." My filet pho was off the charts. Complex, hearty and comforting. We also got the tofu spring rolls, which had crispy fried onions inside, which were a wonderful textural surprise and flavor. The service was prompt and attentive. Would definitely come here again!

    Owners of Pho Chef have a new location at Kenny Center beside Chillispot. The food is fresh and delicious. I love that you can ask them to exchange regular pho broth for spicy broth. The service is fast and efficient. It was kind off empty on Friday evening. They did have online orders but the seating is nice and quiet. Ambience is clean and comfortable. Prices are affordable

    Inside is clean, and new. Plenty of four person tables. Service was amazing. I was confused coming to this location. It says phó chef. To me pho is Vietnamese not Chinese. The outside door and inside walls had Chinese on them. I thought with all the five star reviews, I will give it a go. The Eggrolls were the star of the show. Delicious. The phó not for me. I like to taste the broth before I add anything. Boy was that salty! The meat and noodles were perfect. But with that salty of a broth, it's rough. I got a sliced lemongrass pork rice plate to go. The sliced pork was extremely salty as well, no lemongrass at all in that. Not a fan of this place. This location is a Chinese restaurant that has noodle soup. I wouldn't call that phó. It was also weird, two different people came in and ordered sweet potato fries to go. If you are looking for a good Chinese restaurant this can be your go to. But for phó, probably not.

    Was in the mood for pho and found this place on google. Wasn't impressed with shrimp spring roll and peanut sauce. I am a huge fan of peanut sauce in general and this sauce just didn't hit like I was hoping it would. My pho was good but I wish the portion was a bit larger. The waitress was kind and friendly. The restaurant was clean.

    Pho Chef was a great surprise. We tried the pho, vermicelli combo, appetizer sampler, and meatballs, and everything was beyond tasty. The flavors were on point, fresh, and clearly made with care. Portions are generous, a bit more than we usually eat, but honestly that's a plus and great value for the price. This place feels underrated for how good the food is. Highly recommend if you're in Columbus, and we'll definitely be back.

    Thus place does not disappoint. The food was excellent and the servers were very attentive. Spring rolls was mainly filled with meat The grilled pork rolls were really good as well. The lemongrass pork chop was probably the best onenI have had around the area. The pho was also excellent but a little different then what is normally served. The $2 upgrade is worth it and the broth is one that is not found in very many places. This broth is a lot lighter then normal broth but still very tasty. Will definitely come back to this place again

We just tell them, "Make us something amazing," and they knock it out of the park every single time.

The service made this experience memorable. The gentleman working asked me if it was my first time. He made some recommendations. They were out of corned beef for the #3 The Eiffel Tower so he substituted bacon for me instead. I liked that the buns are smooshed flat, the meat and cheese heated and melted, and then the additional toppings diced up into smaller pieces. I had about a 20 minute drive that could have made the difference, but once I started eating the sandwich it was good but aa bit chewy. It might have been less chewy if I would have ate it right away. I also ordered the specialty croissant. The staff person asked me if I was okay with the price, it was $8. I appreciated he let me know the price and made sure I still wanted it as it was a bit pricey. The croissant was amazing! This was also a food that was better ate day of. I had it the next morning for breakfast and although it was delicious you could tell it was getting stale already. It was beautifully made. Frenchi's was good, just eat it right away for optimal freshness!

    While there are lots of terrific food trucks in town, there are not nearly as many good food CARTS…read more New American Deli helps to address this gap. The menu when I stopped by recently at the Pearl Alley Market was limited to just three sandwiches: turkey bahn mi, ham and swiss, and their 21 day reserve corned beef. I had been kind of in the mood for a ruben even before I saw the cart, so it was like a sign from above. Corned beef it was. And boy was it delicious. Cut fairly thick, the sandwich had a hearty (but not obnoxious) measure of meat. It was griddled so that the cheese melted and held everything together. I opted for a roll instead of the rye bread on the menu. I'm not sure where they source the bread, but it was excellent with a nice crust and softer interior bite. The quality of the corned beef was top notch, some of the best I've had recently. I wouldn't hesitate to get it again. Nor would I hesitate to seek them out elsewhere. According to the operator of the cart, they also have a breakfast menu which they're currently serving on Saturdays at the Clintonville Farmers market. Some of the things he described as on the menu were quite enticing. All in all? A fantastic new addition to Columbus.

They cure the meats at their commissary. The egg was cooked to my specs. Very very tasty and nicely presented in a bowl. That's a good idea since it could have been messy. Only negative. I think you need better forks. Your's are flimsy and didn't work well. I'm a big fan.

The dip was spicy but not too hot to handle. My man got the Double Cheeseburger which came with two slices of American cheese, pickles, onions, tomatoes and lettuce. I got the Mushroom Swiss Burger which came with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles and garlic aioli. Our bartender was very friendly and helpful and checked on us multiple times without being annoying. We will definitely be back again when we are on this side of town.
