OMG hands down the best banh mi! Wish I lived closer so I come more often during the week. We drive about 45 mins one way for this. The cold cut special banh mi is out of this world. The amount of meat you get really makes the banh mi taste so yummy. Sooo worth the money. I crave this all the time. The pho was okay in my opinion but WOOW their banh mi is the star. Fresh veggies. Pho had a great amount of noodles as well. Service was great, provided recommendations. There's a few real authentic vietnamese dish here. I felt soo happy seeing them on the menu. The entire room was busy, all the tables were in use. Glad they're getting business. read more

Well, the food is the star here. Since we moved from Philly--where there were many great places for Pho--we've been sampling and searching for something comparable. Alas, we had no luck, until now. This place delivered. The Pho is great, with lots of noodles and typical extras on the side such as fresh Thai basil, sprouts and jalapeños. My only criticism: the broth was a bit too salty. But still very flavorful. We also ordered shrimp spring rolls--done right, with 3 nice pieces of shrimp and vermicelli (which was lacking in every other place we tried). In addition, we ordered egg rolls, which were seasoned perfectly and served piping hot. Overall, a great gustatory experience. We will be back to try the Bahn Mi! read more

I've been going to Pho Co for years. I haven't been a quite a while, and was pleasantly surprised by the updates. They rearranged the configuration to make space for more tables, and an easier to access bathroom. They also streamlined the menu. They no longer have the wall of coolers with alcoholic beverages (like canned cocktails, beer, and wine). They do have one cooler with a variety of soft drinks. They do still sell some bottled and canned alcoholic beverages, but a very limited variety. They also no longer have the shelves of packaged food for sale. They now have one tiny shelf with a limited variety of dry ramen. The new layout makes it feel much more like a take out sub shop style venue. I tried the pho, which was my first time...I usually get a banh mi...and they had an unusual option...Pho with ramen noddles instead of the traditional rice noodles. It was delicious! The broth was flavorful, the meat, herbs and bean sprouts were fresh, and the ramen noodles were great in Pho! It was also my first time eating in, and it was actually pretty nice...I was the first one seated at a table, but by the time I finished there were 3 other parties seated at tables, or the high stools along the window counter. Good lunch spot. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a while and I will definitely be back. We got the egg rolls, lemongrass beef rice bowl, and pho bo. The egg rolls were perfectly crispy. The lemongrass rice bowl was delicious and the sauce was perfect on it. Good sized portion too. The pho was excellent and the broth was so good. Very fast out of the kitchen on a Friday at lunch. Nice dine-in space with lemon water. Can't wait to try more! read more

Pho Co Variety has quickly become my go-to for noodles, pho, and spring rolls. Everything always tastes super fresh and flavorful--you can tell it's made with care, which keeps me coming back. The service is just as great as the food. The girl at the counter is always so sweet and welcoming, and takeout is always ready fast. The place is really clean too, which makes it feel comfortable whether you're dining in or grabbing food to go. They also sell beer, wine, and a few snacks, which is a fun little bonus. I tried one of their passion fruit refreshers with boba recently--so good and super refreshing, just a tad sweet for my taste, but still really enjoyable. All around, it's just a solid spot with consistently tasty food!! read more

Proud to learn today that after having pho across the US, this Maine place has the best broth, flavor, and pho so far. WOW.

My wife and I stopped here while traveling through town from Atlanta. This place is amazing. The pho was delicious as was the mother of all banh mi sandwich. We highly recommend this place with wonderful food and great service. read more

My first time visiting Pho Co and I've been wanting to try it for awhile. Was very happy with my meal and will be back to try other menu items. I had the Thai tea w/boba and the orig banh mi sandwich. This was my first banh mi ever, so I have nothing to compare it to, but it was good. The bread was crisp and chewy, the veggies were super fresh. There was not much meat on it, but maybe these sandwiches don't usually have much? Kind of like a Maine Italian where the emphasis is on the veggies and bread? The sandwich was large and I could only do half and ate the second half for dinner. The Thai tea was very good and sweet. There was a good amount of boba in it. I would come here just for the Thai tea. They have several flavors of milk teas and bobas to choose from as well. Would love to try one of their meals with the lemongrass beef next time. Great stop out of the ordinary for fast food. read more

Pho Co Variety - Thai tea with boba - Vietnamese Near Me - Westbrook, Maine

Stopped by on a whim when I drove by and saw the open flag. Didn't even bother look at the menu ahead of time. I parked and went in blind. The place clearly used to be a convenient store because they have drink cooler fridges along one wall where they have imported coconut water, beer, wine, etc. You order opposite the drink fridges and they have a pretty expansive menu. They have all types of bubble tea, I went for watermelon milk tea with popping passion fruit boba. There was not enough ice in it, which is ironic because I overheard the staff mentioning someone didn't refill the ice. I probably wouldn't get a fruit milk tea again but the passion fruit popping boba was fun and different. I've been on a lemongrass beef kick so I got the vermicelli noodle bowl with lemongrass beef. My husband ordered drunken noodles with pork belly. I got the food to go so unfortunately my vermicelli bowl was very warm by the time I got home. Lesson learned, next time I'll put it in a cooler and keep the dishes separate. The drunken noodles had a hearty amount of veggies but they were honestly cut too large. There was only one piece of pork belly that was too chewy to eat. The lemongrass beef had the texture of soft beef jerky but was warm and super flavorful. I loved it, my husband, who doesn't like lemon, did not. I wish they offered peanut sauce in addition to the traditional nuoc cham sauce. Overall it was very good. Oh I also had an egg roll on it which was only okay, but I ate it 30 minutes after being made so...? All in all I'd recommend and will likely be back but try something different for fun. Oh by the way they also have normal deli sandwiches like ham Italians etc. read more

ive been going here for many years and it has been so great!! the workers are so nice and helpful and make the best food!!!!!!!! they have tables in there to sit down and you can choose to eat there or to go! read more

Food is always delicious and fresh. Pork belly Banh mi is my favorite ! Lemongrass beef rice bowl and shrimp fresh spring rolls are delicious! read more

Food was great, but very overpriced. It's street food, but in a store, so I guess walking into a place means you pay more? The food is good, the people are good, the atmosphere was what it's meant to be. No issues. Just was a lot for a sandwich I used to buy every day for $3. read more

Pho is good, pad Thai is even better! Their steak bomb delicious and Classic Banh mi equally good. Their prices are reasonable and service extra nice. Will definitely come back to try other dishes. read more

I really, really want Pho Co variety to succeed and grow in the most sincere way! I believe they are trying to put out home style Vietnamese food at reasonable prices. They are pushing past the always dishes of other Vietnamese in the greater Portland area, and offering specials like chicken and seafood crepes, grilled cured ground pork, and bulgogi beef meatballs. YES!! They are also in a convenient location with parking, AND the cooks seems to have a gifted touch! My biggest concern is based on how many people seem to be working behind the counter and how long it took for orders to be turned around. We ordered two things that were already out in a heated case, and an order of rangoons. It took 35 minutes to get our order, and there was nobody in front of us. To be fair, a very nice young woman did come out and apologize, but still??? I counted roughly six people working behind the counter, they all looked busy, but yet, food wasn't coming back to the customers in any kind of reasonable time. When we finally left, a couple who ordered right after us (one order of pad thai) were told it would still be about 10 more minutes before their order was ready. Yikes! read more

Just discovered this place and so happy to have found it . The staff was friendly and and welcoming. Easy to park. There is a eat in counter and a couple small tables . I did takeout. They also carry wine/beer and some grocery items. They packaged it up wonderfully vegetables and rice noddles and chicken were packed separately from the each other and the broth. I assembled it all at home and it was definitely enough food for 2 servings . The flavor of the broth was right up there with some of best I have had. I will definitely go back as often as possible and try the other menu items, I was so happy to find this in Westbrook . Also got the Vietnamese coffee which was excellent . read more

Tried a banh mi (traditional, no onions) for my lunch today and I was impressed. As a former New Yorker, it brought me back to working in Soho and walking down to Grand St for a banh mi. The meat was flavorful, the veggies crisp, the spice on point. I thought the aioli was kind of thin, but otherwise the sandwich was excellent. The online ordering process was smooth, and the service was quick (the estimate said 25 min, but it couldn't have taken more than 10) and friendly. I'm excited to try more of the menu! read more

Been here twice already and the staff is so freaking nice it makes me want to come back and support them. It helps that the food is good too! We had the pho and the banh mi and would come back for both again. I also had the thai tea (meh, not enough tea, too much milk) and the matcha tea latte (YUM would order again, finished before I even got home). Not the best viet food I've ever had, but definitely the best I've found so far in Maine. Would have the banh mi and pho again (and probably will sometime next week). They also have a little grocery section which has asian snacks and they have a cooler section for drinks (alcoholic and non). read more

Tried this place as a lunch alternative to the poke place down the street, since I passed it on the way while sitting in thick traffic. It's got that going for it, but it's a strange place. A lot of the food inside is just plain American, and then like some smaller Asian places I've seen, it's half market selling some Vietnamese and other East Asian products. The authentic menu is quite limited. First off, I am not pleased that they use generic store-bought bread laden with preservatives for their banh mi. Any good banh mi is based on fresh, toasty bread, and this is generic soft kills-you-over-time bread. Big no-no and I do not recommend anyone get a banh mi as a result. So I got one of their other meals, paired with the last mango juice in the fridge. They brought me a spoon. See caption. A spoon?? For a pork chop? I ended up just eating it off the bone and awkwardly trying to fit the other foods onto the spoon. This made no sense. The vegetables are just thrown in there and have no flavor without the side sauce. The egg is just an egg, and was quite overdone for being a fried egg. This doesn't really sound like a 3 star review thus far, but the meat was really quite tasty and a good portion for the price. I can't fault them for being fresh and a good value. Really, this is just a weird place. Not planning to go back unless I have a sudden pho craving. read more

Pho Co Variety - Pho Bo - Vietnamese Near Me - Westbrook, Maine

Just had a wonderful dine-in lunch at Pho Co! Pho is one of my all time favorite foods. This was an exciting find after recently moving to Maine and worrying that I may not find a good Pho restaurant close by. Besides the wonderful range of foods to choose from, the store itself also has so many different things available like beer, wine, ice cream etc. Great fresh food and very nice service. We will be back! read more

Found this off-the-beaten path spot en route to midcoast Maine. What a find! Excellent pho ga and fresh shrimp rolls and pad Thai. Very friendly staff- highly recommended and worth a detour. read more

Pho and banh mi are the best around. I do wish their hours went later and had more beverage options. Maybe a good coffee or breakfast sandwich option early am would also be cool. read more

Super excited to have this new option in our neighborhood! My daughter and I got bubble tea for the first time. The Strawberry was delicious although I don't have anything to compare it to. I got Pad Thai and egg rolls, both were very good, promptly prepared, and FRESH! So delicious! My daughter had a ham and cheese sandwich, also good. My only negative is that my daughter wanted a burger and they were out of buns, and were also out of pizza dough for her second choice. I assume (and hope) these are only growing pains of a new business at a new location. This certainly won't keep me from going back again. And again.. and again! read more

Consistently delicious and flavorful. This is our go to spot for office take out at least once a week. I love the Pho, ramen and Bao Bao. Others in the office think the mother banh mi is the best in the area. Go get yourself some Pho! read more

We order pad Thai and banh mi with a couple bubble tea mango with strawberry pearl and Thai tea. Every thing was excellent! Aioli sauce was great on the banh mi, pad Thai was sweet savory and sour, a tiny bit on the sweet side for me but very well balanced. Pad Thai 4/5 banh mi 4.5/5 bubble tea 4.5/5 overall excellent experience!! read more

We never go wrong with this little joint in Westbrook for take out. The Bahn Mi options are spot on and our favorites in the Portland area. Hours can be a little limiting sometimes, but overall service is great. read more

low quality food products. the tofu is bone dry. the bread isn't fresh. cheap packets of duck sauce(?) for the "crab" rangoon (which is really just a white gelatinous overly-sugared goopy ooze with small bits of imitation crab sparsely mixed in). the classic banh mi was low in flavor. FYI it's just coldcut not pork (doesn't elaborate on the menu). friendly people. prices were roughly average. there's just much better equivalents in the area for the same price. read more

The Pad Thai here is really good. Some of the best I've had in Maine. It seems to be family owned and operated and they are all very nice. You can buy beer here too! And bubble tea. It's a great spot! read more

Best pad Thai I've EVER had! Not at all dry like at a lot of places. Take all of my money, IM HOOKED!

I've been a fan of Pho Co. since their previous location, and they're even better now over in Westbrook! Today I got a green tea matcha bubble tea with boba pearls which was sweet and so refreshing for this hot day. I also got the MOABm- Mother of All Banh Mi's. It's filled with Vietnamese cold cuts, lemongrass beef, lots of fresh veggies and spicy mayo on a soft and flakey roll. The PERFECT beach lunch to keep you full all day. Since they're now a variety shop they also have a 'western menu' with regular subs, pizza, chicken tenders lots of drink options including beer and some wine, chips and other necessities you might be too lazy to run to the grocery store for in addition to their 'eastern menu' with amazing banh mi sandwiches, pho, soup dumplings and even a phorrito!! The staff is great as always and a pro tip to keep in mind if you're in a rush: you can call in your order ahead of time. read more

Didn't quite know what to expect from a place that had Pho and Italian sandwiches on the same menu. But I was very impressed with the Pho and the Bao that we had. The Pho was spot on and the bao buns were delightful. Nice people. Would love to try more things on the menu. read more

This place has vietnamese food. i tried something new! I got vegetable spring rolls wrapped in rice paper.They come with this awesome peanut sauce. Crispy and tasty! I also got the classic Bahn Mi. Wow! A new take on all the subs i was having. Awesome bread with chipotle mayo, carrots, sliced beef, new flavors... i couldn't believe how much I loved it! Great portions- i had 2 bigs meals from just these two items! It was curbside pickup so i waited out front. They brought me my order with an energy drink i requested from the store. It is not fast food- it's nice and fresh and worth the wait. Super friendly and appreciative. Nice people. Recommend 100% read more
