Pho has so much noodles but little meat and broth. The broth is too salty and has too much MSG. The pork spring rolls had no pork taste. There was lack of service where no one came by to refill the water or ask about the food. read more

The food is good but service is not so great. If you place a to go order by phone, it takes FOREVER for them to answer. When they do answer they will tell you they are closed 10 minutes prior to closing. I tried calling to place an order at 6:52 and they never answered. The phone just rang. read more

Love this pho place that I only discovered recently given how many we have in this area. Everything from food to service is super except that the place feels extremely small. I hope they get to expand soon! read more

Wish I could give a one star. I walked in on my lunch time and the lady at the cashier was very rude! Very very bad customer service.

This is overall a really good pho place. Ordered the special combination pho. It was really flavorful and good. However, this was more expensive and didn't contain as many meats as some other pho restaurants I've been to. Also ordered the Vietnamese egg rolls and they were pretty good. It was incredibly busy when I went but despite how busy it was, the service was great. Our server was incredibly kind and checked up on us throughout the meal. read more

This was my first time dining in at Pho Crystal and I have to say, considering the area, it was pretty good. When we walked it on a Tuesday night, the place was completely full and we had to wait about 10-15 minutes to get a table. The fact that there was so much business was a good sign. We got seated and of course my go-to at any new pho place are spring rolls and pho tai with meatballs. The food came out pretty quickly with the spring rolls coming out first (as it should be - I hate when they give you both at the same time). I was always raised to put hoisin and sriracha in my Pho so I always do but before I do it, I taste the soup to see how it is. The broth here didn't disappoint. It was sweet and flavorful as a pho broth should be. My only complaint would be that the broth was a little too greasy for my taste. For all of you Pho Bang (located in garland) lovers, this place is comparable because of that. The meat/meatballs were very tasty and didn't have that previously-frozen taste that some places do and the veggies that we were given were fresh. The spring rolls were a good size and also tasted really fresh. If you're in the Allen area, this is definitely a place worth trying out! read more

If you're looking for a delicious, local veggie pho, Pho Crystal is the place to go. Although it's listed under the chicken menu and may contain chicken broth, this pho contains a hearty amount of veggies and perfectly cooked tofu. Without the onion flakes on top, I believe this dish is gluten free. This place was packed, so you know the food is great! read more

This was very good. We will return soon! Short wait time. Good service. Food was yummy and flavorful. Thank you!

The first fall cold/rainy front just rolled in a few day's ago and the first thing we thought of was Pho Crystal! By far the best pho in the area and the service is wonderful. Now if you go at peak hours you are going to wait, service is fast pace and sometimes abrupt. They are trying to serve a lot of people eating and to go in a very small space. The food is out fast and it's always top quality. My personal favorite is the chicken curry rice noddle soup. It's the perfect amount of hot and spicy on a cold night! read more

Pho crystal is such a gem in Allen! The pho options are amazing, and it is the best pho I've had in the area. So delicious and so well crafted! Their main dishes are delicious as well. I love cashew shrimp, and my dad loves their vermicelli. There isn't really a wrong choice you can make here. The restaurant is family owned, and they work really hard to provide great service and great food! The adults make an effort to remember their clients and make a connection with people who come in to dine. Their children also work their with them. One of their children definitely puts the effort in to connecting with customers, and the other one makes it pretty obvious they would rather be somewhere else. Besides that, this is one of my favorite places to eat, even if I don't get to go often. Highly recommend eating here if you haven't already tried it! read more

Awful seafood noodle soup! This is horrible service, horrible food! I was asked for hot water to drink, but server The soup taste full of MSG!!! No other tastegave me tap hot water! This is not drinking hot water man!! Sucks, I was able o walk away but I too hungry so I tried out seadfoo soup, the first taste was MSG. If there is negative start I would rather do. For sure I will not come back read more

Calling all Pho connoisseurs! For those seeking the best Pho soup - look no further. I'm always searching for new Pho restaurants locally as well as when I go out of town. I can recommend places in NYC, Boston VA/D.C. and even in Zurich, Switzerland but this is hands down the BEST! And it's in Texas!!! Staff are friendly and I notice that they know all the customers walking in. Seriously about 99.5% retention!!! It's that good. My mom (who is Korean) and she went 4 times during a week visit! The only reason we didn't go all 7 days is that they close on Sundays and we had graduation celebration for the other 2 days. Everything on the menu is delicious! Start with either the spring roll or Vietnamese rolls (or get both!!!) I usually get a Large Pho bowl - usually regret not getting it if I order the regular size - and for those who prefer something other than soup, try the black pepper chicken or salmon. Even the stir fried Veggie/tofu which we tried since we had a vegetarian in our party. Everything comes out super quick and that place is always packed! I like going on the off times so that I don't have to wait! Dang I wish today wasn't Sunday!!! read more

Pho Crystal - Best Pho EVER!!! - Vietnamese Near Me - Fairview, Texas

Been to many many pho places in Dallas. This is on our top pho list. The place was packed, we went Saturday around 1:30pm and it was still packed by the time we left. The thai tea was yummy. I liked how they have different bowl sizes: regular $6.95 and goes up from there. I really hate when places have one size super large bowls. They also have a nice variety of pho options plus other options. I got the P1 which is a special combo of the different meats. I wasn't a huge fan of the cream cheese things, it was served on a piece of lettuce, it looked quite sad and the texture of the crust wasn't appetizing to me. read more

First thing I look for in a Pho restaurant is the broth. Their broth is amazing. Pho hits the spot every time.

Great local pho joint, and you can get it delivered with Favor. Authentic Vietnamese egg rolls, you can tell they were made from scratch. Pho was delicious, did the special combination in a beef broth. Will be ordering again! read more

Came here for breakfast this morning. They are open at 10 but when I arrived at 10:03 the doors were still locked. Had ordered a tofu pad Thai and egg rolls. Tofu pad Thai- Usually pad Thai have eggs in there but this one had broccoli. And it did not taste too good. It was loaded with sugar and black pepper. Egg rolls- It was undercooked. The meat was still pink on the inside. Lacks customer service and the food is not so great. Won't be returning. read more

I was in the area and my pho craving is off the roof. Yelp lead me to this place and wasn't disappointed. I order a small combination Pho and fried dumplings. The broth is tasty and the meats are tender. Ive read great things about the fried dumplings that's why I ordered it but it wasn't as great as describe in other reviews iMO. Service is fast and I've seen a lot of people going in to pick up their orders. I will definitely come back if in the area. read more

Awesome, awesome, awesome! We went there tonight around 8:40 when they close at 9. We asked if it was okay to eat in, knowing they were closing shortly, and they were extremely inviting and welcoming. We ordered the pho with round steak and it was plentiful and delicious! I ordered the large portion and it was definitely more noodles and meat than I've ever had in a pho bowl before. Will definitely be returning soon...I've found my new favorite pho place in the metroplex. read more

I've been searching for local pho places to fit my Vietnamese cravings and this place definitely hit the spot. It's a small restaurant with enough tables to fit maybe 35 people at max capacity. I came in during lunch of a Wednesday around 12:15 and our group of 4 snagged the last large table. I ordered the strawberry boba and was pleased with how flavorful it was - didn't taste like that strawberry milk powder some places use. The boba was fresh and delicious and they put it into a nice pint glass for me. I did want it in a To-go cup but oh well. I still rate this 10/10. I ordered the pho tai as well. Great broth flavor and I didn't feel like I needed the extra limes for a tinge of citrus. I cleaned my entire bowl! They used a good amount of onion and green onion in the broth as well. Also a 10/10. This is so far the best pho place I've tried! I'll be back read more

The food is unseasoned and bland, it tastes like they used sink water in their pho. The staff are super sweet though, just terrible food for the price. I paid $50 for two appetizers and two bowls of pho. read more

Cheap, 10/10 pho and banh mi, and the boss lady is so friendly all the time. Love her, and love the food. The pho broth is perfect, and it always comes out so fast! Pork banh mi never disappoints either - the bread is always perfectly toasted : ) I only ever come here for my pho fix, and as a plus, I live right down the road from it! (dangerous ) read more

My family stopped by for their bowl of Pho. The broth was exceptional! The rice plate was next level. All of the dishes we ordered were tasty. The place was spacious as well. Perfect for small and large groups. We will definitely return for more when we pay a visit to Austin. read more

This is our absolute favorite PHO restaurant!! The food has been delicious every single time! Have been going for years.

Some of the best Pho in the DFW area, and trust me I've been to almost everywhere. Friendly service, great food, and definitely will be coming back read more

This place offers amazing food and at low prices! It is very small and the place fills up quickly so sometimes you will have to wait if there are no seats available. It is also convenient because they are next to the Allen Outlets, so my mom and I would come here for a quick bite when we went shopping at the outlets. The service is good and quick. They don't bother you anymore than they need to which I appreciate. The pho is always a game-changer and the Thai iced tea is incredible. read more

Pho is ok, tad bit salty and way too much msg. Portion is small in our opinion. We always order large bowls. Prices is ok for the area and at least tastes better than pho in Frisco. The place is super small and not kid friendly only because it's so cramped inside. The workers obviously appear like they do not like their job. Also our server ignored us a few times and got our order wrong. It's busy lunch time I get it. Hire more people, but I guess that's not possible because the place is so small. I'm not in a rush to come back. Just happened to be on this side of town during lunch. read more

The best pho!!! The chicken curry pho is the best and their Rangoons are also to die for!

The best pho in Allen area. Curry Rice Noodle Soup and the Vermicelli dishes are awesome. Get the Thai Tea with Boba! Even when they're busy it's with the wait! Quick service and don't let the lunch rush parking situation fool you - most of the lot is used by Fairview Farmers customers. read more

their Vietnamese cuisine is as authentic as it gets for Collin county, the pho beef broth is spot on, the rainbow dessert is also a must try if you're into red beans and mung beans read more

Cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. I did takeout over lunch one day and the place was PACKED. My pho was still hot by the time I got home. The portion sizes are extremely generous and the flavor of the pho is some of the best I've ever had. read more

My go to pho plug. I haven't tried anything else but their Pho, so I can only speak for that. I always do take out around 1pm and it comes out quick! By the time I sit down and wait, they're already bringing it out. Their broth is really clear and has a refreshing taste. My favorite to order is the beef steak and flank. I think they should add more noodles because there wasn't enough of it when I ordered a large/XL. They're also affordable so I recommend this place for pho lovers that have it almost daily. I prefer take out. Their establishment is pretty small and old. It's clean, but I just feel more comfortable eating elsewhere. I feel like all pho places have this vibe though. Their pho makes up for it! -3.85/5 read more

Delicious pho and so many varieties! Make sure you go early since they tend to run out, esp on cold, wet days.

Positioned in a small strip just off Greenville and Stacy, Pho Crystal does business in an unassuming little space. What the place lacks in character or fancy place settings it far makes up for with Pho and service. The lady who runs the place is a character all to herself but the service that she and her staff (some or most made up of family I assume) provide is excellent. The recipe they use for the Pho is excellent and all dishes hand made when you order. My wife loves the Chicken Pho and I enjoy the beef. We've had the traditional Chinese dishes they also offer which are really good as well, but the true gem of this establishment is the Pho. We also enjoy the Shrimp Spring Rolls (not fried) are excellent! Go see the fine folks at Pho Crystal, I think you'll enjoy it as much as we do! read more

This Pho is amazing!! If anyone is rating this below 4 stars, they are not credible and probably have suspicious motives! I swear, the serving sizes are huge, the broth has an incredible depth of flavor, the sprouts and parsley are as fresh as if they'd just picked it, the meats are so tender and sliced perfectly (not too thick). I always add the meatballs because that's just magic we all need in our lives. The ladies that work in there - they are lovely! I wanna hug them but I'm not a hugger type so I just take the loss on that one. What else, AHH, the spring rolls - they are so fresh and the gold standard for spring rolls. There's a good chance it'll be packed if you go during lunch, just wait, it's totally worth it. read more
