With all the cold weather we have been having the past week... it was one of those days where a hot bowl of Pho would help warm me up. Came by during lunch and ordered the Beef Pho... flavor was good, portion size was perfect, and there was lots of beef in the soup. The side plate of basil, sprouts, and jalepeno was fresh and clean. Service was great..about 5 mins from when I ordered to when the food was in front of me. Perfect for the lunch crowd that only has an hour for lunch. Please note they charge an extra 3% if you are paying with a credit card. read more

Pho Dalat Vietnamese Restaurant - #4 Beef Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

Would recommend if you're looking for something delicious and quick for delivery. I'm currently in town on business, and pho is my go-to comfort food. I ordered the beef pho, and it was at my hotel within 20-25 minutes. The slices of beef were wonderfully tender, the noodles were just right (sometimes rice noodles disintegrate on to-go orders, but not here!) and the broth was perfect. I plan to go to the restaurant in person at some point during this trip, and may update this review. I'm hoping to still be impressed by the food. read more

This place is delicious and well priced for the massive servings that you receive of the food. I usually get the beef pho and everything is delicious. The service is always quick and friendly and inside has a nice older Vietnamese look. I will definitely be back soon. read more

I came here for an early dinner prior to the Super Bowl as I spent the afternoon checking out the surrounding area around Chesapeake. When I arrived there were zero customers at the restaurant which made me a little worried. I decided to order the beef pho and decided to get some deep fried spring rolls (egg rolls). I also requested water and the owner gave me a funny look as it was not normal to just get water. After I ordered, I used the restroom and it was clean but the water from the sink was freezing and there was only a weak air blower to dry my hands. Back at the table, the egg rolls and water was left there. I waited till everything came out to start eating. The beef pho came out a little later and the tiniest plate of bean sprouts, jalapenos, lime, and 1 sprig of basil was left. I asked for another plate and received another strange look from the owner, but she brought it out. The beef pho and egg rolls were delicious and the spiciness of my pho cleared my sinuses perfectly. Food was spot on but I finished my water and the owner walked past me multiple times but didn't offer or bring any refills of water. So do not expect much service from the restaurant. When I went to register to pay, the owner was really surprised I tipped 25% which she said thank you. I think other people would have definitely tipped much less for the amount of service received or not received. I think the restaurant is more gauged for take out instead of dine in based on my observations. Even though the food was good, I think I would rather eat somewhere with better service like Pho 79. read more

I have been here 3 times and I highly recommend this restaurant. The service is very quick and welcoming. They have great portions and a cute space where you are able to pay at the counter. The Pho, Duck egg noodle, and Bun are good options! This is also a great spot to place a pickup order from. It only took 10-15 minutes. read more

Went in to place an order for pickup. The staff was not welcoming. The food was ok for a pickup order. It came with all the fixings (jalapeños, sprouts, basil, hoisin, siracha, lime wedge). Not sure if we'll go back, simply because of the poor service. read more

I gave this place a 2 star instead of a 1 star, because the food was good and definitely hit the spot, but the service was not good. Things were going ok (definitely not great, but not terrible) till I was ready to leave. I kept waiting for the check. Finally realized there was a sign that said, pay at the counter. They had lots of signs up, one said gratuity was charged for parties over 4 automatically (which I think is interesting since I have to pay at the counter). Another that said there was a cash discount of $1 to $10 depending how much your bill was. There was no sign (that I saw) that said there is a charge for containers, I feel like that should have been mentioned when I asked for 3. The bowls were HUGE, not many people could have consumed as much as they provided in one sitting. Was the expectation that I bring my on container? I mean I wouldn't mind doing that. Anyway, when I went up to the counter to pay, I let them know I would pay in cash. He said it would be $64 even (side eye cause that's not generally what happens when sales tax is involved). I gave him cash, but felt that the math wasn't mathing. So I went back up to ask for an itemized receipt and did the math on my own. When I went back up that's when I was told it was $1.50 per to-go container (was told they - the restaurant - have to pay for the containers, well yeah, that's the cost of doing business as a restaurant, but ok). However, the math still wasn't adding up even with the extra cost. We did the math together and they overcharged me by $2 plus didn't give me the cash discount of $3. So he needed to give me back $5. I guess we mutually agreed we were going round. So, bottom line, if you go to this place, just make sure you check their math and bring your own containers? read more

I've been to Pho Dalat a few times now and it has become one of two of my go-to places for pho in Chesapeake. They keep the restaurant tidy and the the food comes our fairly fast. - Parking - Center lot. - TLC - Depending on who you get, the interaction is pretty short and direct. However, the service is always fast and efficient the times I have been. - Noms + Sips - Vietnamese Iced Coffee - great! I always ask for extra condensed milk Spring rolls - overall, always made to order and very fresh, but I am not a fan of the raw beans sprouts that they include in their rolls. Most other pho places around the area do not have beans sprouts and I prefer them without. Beef pho - the broth is great and overall a really tasty pho. I just wish there were different size options. The soups are all generally one size at one price. Udon - my kids have had their udon and it was pretty good. A few things to note: - They have a picture menu so it's great for newbies and veterans alike. We eat with our eyes, don't we? - The menu features just basic Vietnamese pho and dishes. Not too many options once you "graduate" the newbie phase and want to try something new. - If you pay by card, they now have a new policy (and maybe new to me because I have never noticed this before), but they will charge YOU the transaction fee. Luckily, I had an emergency $20 stash in my wallet, so I used that to pay my take out order recently. A pet peeve of mine is paying service fees! So moral of the story, take out some cash before heading out to Pho Dalat. Overall, a great place for some pho if you are limited on time, just take out some cash! Stay safe, Friends! read more

First time having Pho. Chose here due to the high reviews. The store setup is very vibrant and fun! We were greeted immediately upon stepping in the restaurant and had food in front of us in less then 5 minutes. I thought the broth was really good, especially with the added basil, lime, bean sprouts, and a few squirts of sriracha. The chicken was a little over cooked, but overall tasted homemade. My daughter had the Beef Pho and said it was good. Overall good experience for a first timer! read more

Even though plenty has changed since COVID-19 arrived in 2019-2020, it's safe to say not much has changed at Chesapeake's Pho Dalat. That's both good & bad - for me, I'm simply not happy with their service. But their food is good. PD is the perfect example in determining (if you had to choose) what's more important to you as a diner - good food or good service? I guess, for me, the answer is good food. I used to frequent PD often as it's close to my office. But now I'm permanently a remote employee, so I don't get out to Chesapeake much as a result. I finally decided, though, to check them out again, because it's been almost 3 years since my last visit. I was curious as to how my return experience would be - I came in on 10/1/22 and was surprised to find a female working the FOH. She was all about the hustle - frank (but polite), anticipating customer needs, moved with a sense of urgency. This was a different Pho Dalat just because of her. If you're a PD regular, you know what (or whom) I'm referring to. That evening, I made it a point to order #11, the Duck Egg Noodle (Mi Vit Quay). It was as good as I remembered - so delicious and filling. It went great with their spring rolls (#2) and the soda I ordered. And wouldn't you know it - my server actually asked me if I would like a refill. I was in shock and happily answered, "Yes. Yes, I would love a refill of your soda, ma'am." I was giddy and elated. Right then and there, I decided I would return as often as possible. Fast forward almost 2 months - I headed out to PD again, this time with high expectations. I walk in on 11/29/22 and - boom, their regular FOH guy was working. He's an older gentleman who, and I'll say this as nicely as possible, is a glacial server. In addition, he doesn't seem to give af. That's a lethal combination for customers, especially if a customer seeks a "quick" bite. Slow Pai Mei was already in the weeds - there was a 4-top and an 8-top finishing up their meals. When I came in and said I was alone, he just gestured at a small table and dropped the menu on it as I sat down. That proved to be the ONLY interaction I had with him during my visit. Well, I interacted with him once more before I left because I had to pay my tab, but two BOH people took my order, brought me my food, refilled my drink and prebussed my table. Mr. FOH walked around, took payments for the other 2 parties and then continued to take his sweet time cleaning those parties' empty tables after they left. Not once did he come over to my table - he didn't serve me, didn't look in my direction, nothing. He didn't acknowledge me at any point, even when he walked directly in front of me, which was often because my table was 3 feet from the register. The 2 kitchen staffers were in on all of this - they apologized to me every time they stopped by my table and would shake their heads and roll their eyes while shooting their coworker mean glances (albeit, they did this while he wasn't looking). They were obviously fed up because they're picking up his slack and essentially working dual roles. Btw, during that visit, I had the spring rolls again and the #10, Hue Noodle (Bun Bo Hue). The #10 is spicy - I ordered it because it was cold outside and I wanted to warm up. Bun Bo Hue definitely does the trick. So yeah, Pho Dalat offers excellent food, but you run the high risk of getting crummy service, too. My previous review in 2018 came with four stars. This one would actually be a two, but I awarded an extra star because of their food quality. Regardless, I won't be hitting them up as often as I'd like because I can get good food and service from Los Burritos nearby. Thanks, though, Pho Dalat. JV read more

I don't think many people know about this place. It still has that family owned feel. The menu book is still the same with a photo for each entree and the price. Prices are still reasonable compared to some of the other Vietnamese pho stores. I appreciate they haven't drastically increased their prices like so many restaurants have in the recent year. They will give you a small discount if you pay in cash. So I look at it as a win-win situation. It is nice to use real cash sometimes in this digital day and age. read more

I'm going to be dreaming about that broth for the rest of my life. I came on a rainy day at 53 degree weather after a one hour hike at the nearby Ed R County Park. I've always had the basic meat pho with rice noodles so imagine my surprise when one of their most popular bowls was a seafood based pho with egg noodles!! It was so good! There were huge prawns and chicken and this fish cake thing and this pork/crabmeat ball thing idk it was delicious. Service was fast and friendly and though I came at lunch time there was plenty of seating. Definitely come in for a good time. read more

I have been here twice and it's always the cashier/waitress at front, that has the most horrible customer service. I've visited this place twice, and both times I've encountered the same problem. The staff member--whether she's a waiter or cashier--always seems rushed. During my last visit, I was still deciding what else to order when she slid the menu out from under my hand without asking. On top of that, she moved me from my preferred table and seated me all the way in the back, right next to the hand-washing area, even though the restaurant was empty. I regret giving this place a second chance. Don't get me wrong, the food is great, but her service leaves much to be desired. read more

I came in like 10 minutes after opening and the waiter gave me the nastiest attitude but that's how I knew the food was gonna be good af. Last time I went to a pho restaurant I didn't like it but I knew there was hope. This place has changed my mind about pho. Although I didn't directly order an original pho dish I can just see myself liking it. I ordered Spring Rolls and Hue Noodle. Tastes fresh and the noodles have a very good consistency. read more

Pho is fine, but I've never heard of being charged for a to-go box. That's really penny wise and pound foolish.

The food was alright, not super traditional. I ordered the Bun Bo Hue which is normally spicy but it wasn't at all. They provided chilies on the side which allows the diner to customize it to their preference but I think it should've at least at some spice to keep the authenticity. Service was quick and friendly. The restaurant is small and kinda dark. Overall, I don't know if I'd come back. read more

Food was okay, service was okay, food was good, two rice plate, pho and spring roll cost us $70 . Price is little bit too high

How rude can a person be.. geez. Absolutely not a single person in the restaurant around 4pm on a Thursday and the only lady working the front made it seem like I was a burden to her, while she was just on her phone. Left without ordering a single thing and headed 15 mins away to Saigon One instead, near pleasant valley rd. Just a terrible look for a small restaurant trying to survive. Management needs to get her in check or else they'll be losing more customers read more

Very bad service! Very rude servers , almost if they don't want you to come in to their restaurant!

5 star food, the best Pho in the Hampton Roads area!! The food is great!! I drive from Hampton sometimes when I want their pho! I really try not to come here but the food is just so good!! The minus 2 stars is the crappy attitude of the cashier who is also the waiter. You cannot deviate from the menu in anyway with her. She is rude! Rude! Rude! Absolutely zero customer service skills, I come here knowing this, and do my best to stay as polite as possible, but to no avail, no smile, no respectable greeting. It really sucks because I really love their food. I will come back but I really wish they could hire someone with customer service skills. That's my only gripe over the past 10 years lol. read more

This is a somewhat typical Vietnamese restaurant in a strip mall. However the food is delicious. I have been there twice now. This trip I had the spring rolls and the combination beef pho. The spring rolls ( order of two) are large and very tasty - served with a side of peanut sauce. The pho was delicious as well and an ample sized bowl served with the usual accoutrements. I loved every bite!! Fast service as well! read more

The food was excellent and came out fast! However, the service left much to be desired. Our server spent most of the time on her phone and didn't check in with us during the meal.

Vexed about 4 stars. Pho Da Lat has some of the best cha gio and pho, but some of the worst service. The decor is also well done with large wall art and live plants. Hmmm....vexed. Today marks my second stop. The man behind the register puts down the onion he is peeling to retrieve a menu and seat me. Within a few minutes he returns to take my order: a #1, #4, and water. The water never arrived. Last week at least my water arrived (but never refilled.) They are fairly consistent! This dinner cost $20.63 and worth a stop for great, traditional Vietnamese food. Hope you get your water! read more

My significant other and I were craving Vietnamese, so we decided to pop in here. Luckily, it was cold outside because this place was very stuffy inside. I do like that the menu is straightforward with pictures but that doesn't help people who aren't necessarily familiar with this type of food because there are no descriptions. I got the Vegetable Udon Pho that my girlfriend got the grilled pork skewers and rice. Of course we had to add on crispy fried eggrolls as well as the rice paper rolls. The men who tend to you are very to the point, and get you in and out. Not my favorite Pho place but definitely a good alternative.

I have potentially found my new favorite spot for Com Tam or broken rice dish. Came here on a late Saturday night around 8 or 8.30 and were seated immediately. I ordered the broken rice with grilled pork chop but unfortunately they were out of the Cha (pork custard) and bi (shredded pork with noodles) which typically comes with these types of entrees - nevertheless, I still ordered it. My food came out with two HUGE pork chops (not sure if this was to make up for the lack of the two other items?) but I wasn't complaining. The pork was beautifully cooked and the flavor was A plus in my book. I would come here again just for this dish. Service was prompt, prices are fair and since I only live 10 minutes away, I will be back very soon. read more
