I went here for lunch and there were only a couple of other customers. It's part of the group at Jungle Jim's but you access it from outside, not through the store. They offer the usual Pho soups and other Vietnamese food. My Chicken Pho ($13) was OK and similar to other Vietnamese restaurants in the area. A family of four was sitting close to me and it seemed like their food was being delivered piecemeal so maybe the kitchen was short staffed. The only waitress was polite. I may try here again and order something other than soup. The decor is bare bones and there is free parking in the outside lot.
I've been to this restaurant twice now and both times have really enjoyed everything about this place. The service is fast, whether it's busy or calm, and inside the restaurant is very clean and the design fits the setting perfectly. My partner really likes their pho and the veggie lo mein is incredible and the tofu is some of the best tofu I've ever had. The dish is full of veggies and the flavor of everything in the dish blends well together. This location deserves a higher rating and I highly recommend trying it if you're in the area.
The pho was really good, I ordered the seafood pho and the broth was nice and flavorful. There was also plenty of condiments to add to it. The waitress was very sweet with us as well. It was nice and quiet inside which was great.
Pho district was a great Vietnamese option on the North side of Cincinnati. There is plenty of parking as it is right next door to Jungle Jim's international market. Visited on a Tuesday late afternoon and it wasn't busy. The staff were friendly and attentive. We ordered a pho with beef and tripe ($14 small / $16 medium) and a grilled pork vermicelli bowl ($14). The beef broth of the pho had good flavor and is accompanied with your typical side plate of jalapeno, bean sprouts, and basil. The vermicelli bowl came with a generous portion and the grilled pork was seasoned well. I recommend both dishes! On weekends they serve their special bun rieu which is a crab tomato noodle soup and hard to find as many pho restaurants don't serve this. It happens to be one of my favorite noodle soups so I'll have to return on a weekend to try it here. Overall good experience with a hardy meal and were able to walk it off at Jungle Jim's next door.
Not sure what I got sorry not much help but it was so good , their Thai iced tea is really tasty aswell. Service was fantastic, there was a mishap in ordering, but they were very nice about it.
Customer service, ambiance and food were great. Recommend their vegetarian options and you can never go wrong with a vegetable spring roll
Came in with my parents before shopping around Jungle Jim's as we were hungry and craving something soupy. Luckily we saw this right next to it! From a family who came from a Vietnamese town in California where authentic pho was abundant, we decided to come in with no expectations. All of us ordered the pho dac biet, both the small and large size. The portioning here was huge! The amount of noodles in the large bowl was probably good for 3-4 servings with the small 2. I was surprised. It felt like my noodles were never ending. The good thing about this is that you get your money's worth (roughly $20/bowl). The bad thing is, the noodles tend to get over cooked the longer they sit in the broth. Also, less broth is left because the noodles absorbs most of it. Major plus though was that the cooks were Vietnamese! The broth was pretty tasty. They provided the usual garnishes. However, for someone who is not familiar with pho, they would probably think it was a salad if not explained. I can't imagine how much of their garnishes gets wasted. I saw a lot of tables with theirs untouched. The server was young. Customer service was ok. However, this girl was on her phone looking at tiktoks and laughing loudly. One of the customers commented "you must be having a good time over there". And she explained she was watching a video. I just thought it was very unusual for someone to act that way when people are dining in. Overall, I prefer this place over Pho Lang Thang in Findlay. It's just tastier in my opinion.
Indulging in a steaming bowl of pho during chilly winter days is a true comfort. The rich flavors of bone and spices in the broth create a cozy sensation, warming you up like a warm hug from the inside out. After a quick visit to Jungle Jim's, we decided to finally try this pho spot, which had recently reopened after management changes. The spacious, modern, and impeccably clean interior immediately caught our attention. Our server was attentive and genuinely friendly, balancing between being present and unobtrusive. The menu, though familiar like many other pho joints, offered a range of enticing options. We got the seafood spring rolls for appetizer which I thought were very tasty! The pho itself was a good portion, came with the standard servings of basil, cilantro, sprouts, jalapeno and a squeeze of lime. I got the sliced steak with meatballs, while he got sliced steak with tendon -- he meant to order something else so he didn't get to enjoy it completely due to user error. One thing that was very noticeable to me was that both bowls of pho were just lukewarm which usually isn't the norm. Typically it's quite piping hot so it would cook the raw meat appropriately. Nonetheless, the broth was very good and savory. It was not as robust as my tongue is used to but still was a savory delight. It filled us up and warmed us up on a cold winter afternoon. In summary, our experience was undeniably enjoyable and fulfilling. It's the kind of place that hits the spot when cravings for comforting pho strike.
I came here because I was planning to shop at Jungle Jim's, and this restaurant is conveniently located right next to it. I ordered the Sizzling Beef with Vietnamese Baguette from their specials menu, along with a taro milk tea. The special dish arrived sizzling hot. The beef and meatloaf were delicious, the salad vegetables tasted fresh, and the bread seemed freshly toasted. The presentation of the dish was also excellent for the price. However, I felt that the portion size of meat was a little disappointing. For a $17 meal, I expected a bit more meat. One thing that really upset and frustrated me was the unreasonable long wait for my taro milk tea. It wasn't served until after I had already finished my meal, even though I reminded both my waitress and another waiter. It was just a plain taro milk tea without any toppings or boba, so I was confused about why it had to take so long. I understand that weekends can be busy, but it still didn't make sense for such a simple drink to take longer than my entire meal. To their credit, they ended up not charging me for the taro milk tea. However, the experience left me with a bad impression that ordering a boba drink here could take forever or possibly be forgotten altogether. Overall, I enjoyed the food, but if you're planning to order a boba drink and are in a rush, this is not the best place. The taro milk tea tasted good though, so I'd probably order again when I have plenty of time to spare. read more
My friend and I stopped into Pho District Cincy for lunch after visiting Jungle Jim's International Market next door. We noticed this Vietnamese restaurant as we left jungle Jim's grocery store so we decided to eat here because it was close by. We visited on Saturday, the 22nd of August 2026. FOOD -- Classic Vietnamese favourites such as the Bah Mi, Egg rolls, beef stew or beef pho, etc. What I ordered: -- (3/5) stars Banh Mi Sandwich (Banh Mi Thit Nuong) -- listed as S1 on the menu -- Grilled Pork ($9.50). The banh Mi sandwich was good but the bread was slightly hard and some parts of the pork meat was tough to eat but overall, it was an edible lunch. -- (4/5) stars Summer Roll / Goi Cuon (listed as A03 on the menu) - contains shrimp, pork, vermicelli, and vegetables wrapped in soft rice paper. The summer roll tasted refreshing especially being dipped in the provided sauce which I think was a peanut sauce. My friend and I split the summer roll so I got one and she got one. A slightly warm summer roll would have tasted even better but eating it cold is good too. The pork didn't taste as fresh. -- (5/5 stars) Nuoc Mia Tuoi ($7.50) - an absolutely refreshing sugar cane drink with kumquat (a type of lime) - I ordered this without pineapple and orange because the waitress told me that the traditional Vietnamese way to drink this sugarcane drink is just with the sugarcane and kumquat. I really enjoyed the sugar cane drink even though it was slightly too sweet because sugarcane is sweet. At least there are no added and artificial sugars in the drink. It is all natural sugar. While I was only visiting Cincinnati for the weekend, if I lived here, I could definitely see myself coming to eat at Pho District again. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 185/250 total reviews in 2026 - 1026 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 3 September 2026 read more

I came here to meet a friend for lunch. It is conveniently located right next to the rhino entrance of jungle Jim's. Service was fast, and the waiter was friendly, but the menu was not really explained. My friend ordered the chicken fried rice and it came with a couple of sauces on the side, some kind of soup and a maple syrup smelling sauce that was savory, and it was mentioned that they were for the rice. Seeing as most people are probably not used to fried rice coming with something to pour on it, it would have been nice to have it explained. The flavor was also unusual for a classic fried rice - so if that is what you were expecting, you may be thrown off by this meal. That being said, I thought the flavor was very good, but my friend was not a fan of how the rice was softer than your typical fried rice. I am a lover of pho and have tried many places around the city looking for the best (I think the best is at Tong's Thai Milford). Here I decided to try the spicy beef rice noodle soup, which came with basically all the same toppings as PHO and tasted similar. Honestly I would not be able to tell much of a difference between this and PHO if you ask me. It was slightly spicy, but not too spicy, and came with some type of floating meat disc (what a phrase) that I could not figure out what it was, but tasted like delicious sausage. We also tried their shrimp summer rolls, which were OK, but you can definitely find these better at other restaurants. Overall, I would come back here again to eat, but it would not be my first choice for PHO. read more

This little restaurant is nicely locates warm and welcoming. The menu is set up nicely in am order to walk through and order easily. They're extremely clean and friendly. Even the restroom is clean. Now the food, if you really like pho then heres a nice place to go. The vegetable and flavorings were fresh and flavorful. I ordered the pork egg rolls which were extremely flavorful and cooked to perfection. O decided to have the steak and brisket pho. First tine for me. I could've eaten it as is without any additions it was so flavorful. The noodles where plentiful. I always use my bean sprouts which again were fresh. I suggest that if you really don't know how to enjoy pho look it up first. I watched someone just add they're vegetables and Then complain about the taste. This was an enjoyable quiet meal that i couldn't even finish it was so plentiful. read more
Found this place last time we visited Jungle Jim's. It's in a great location and it's nice on the inside. All of the pho comes with different sized bowl options which I thought was a great idea. I got a medium and it was huge! The rest of the food was decent, nothing great, but decent. Our server was nice but she said they were very short staffed so we waited quite a while for everything. In all the place was just ok. read more

Dear non-Vietnamese people! Listen up! If I hear another one of you fools whine about chili oil I'm going to find you and spit in your food! This IS Vietnamese food NOT Chinese food. Stop bastardizing my people's food by insisting craps that don't belong in there. Want chili oil? Go to a Chinese restaurant. Want to eat authentic Vietnamese food? Stop asking for crap that do not belong. Only 4 condiments that should go onto your pho: 1) hoisin sauce (if you choose) 2) sriracha hot sauce (or equivalent chili sauce not Tabasco) 3) ground black pepper 4) salty fish sauce if you find your pho not salty enough for your taste bud and sauces 1 and 2 have not correct the problem for you. DO add bean sprout, Asian basil, jalapeños slices, and a squeeze of lime/lemon according to your liking. ADVANCE: You can ask for uncooked beef slices on the side if you don't like your sliced steaks over cooked inside the bowl. Do add the raw beef slices to your pho before you add raw bean sprout otherwise your soup would be to luke warm to properly blanch your rare steak slices. Enjoy my people's culinary contribution to world cuisine! Leave your ignorance at the door. If you don't know anything then ask, your server or knowing neighbor would love to help you through any question. Everyone loves when outsiders show interest in their food and culture. We go here weekly and sometimes order to go at the end of the work day if we could get there in time before it closes. Somehow the owner decided to switch up some naming of the appetizers that causes even me confusion. * Chả giò should be translated properly as egg rolls NOT spring rolls * gỏi cuốn should be translated as spring roll not summer roll I've lived in the US for 44 years and 38 of those years in California (both southern and northern) and have eaten in practically every well known Vietnamese restaurant and have not heard of a summer roll. So I found out the owner and his family are new arrivals to the US and for some reason have not had a chance to study other Vietnamese restaurants' menus to see what the proper translations are. Our favorites here are the Pho Đặc Biệt (the special). My wife tried the Bún Bò Huế and she finds it acceptable but my roots are in Huế so I'm a lot more picky. My wife is Northern Vietnamese, where pho originates, and she thinks this is the best pho in Cincy compared to all the other actual Vietnamese owned and run Viet restaurants: Tasty Pho (closed), Saigon Noodle Bars, Pho Kimmy, iPho, Pho Lang Thang. If you're eating at a place call Tong's Thai don't compare that crap to authentic Vietnamese food. It's like going to a Thai restaurant and compare their sushi to an authentic Japanese sushi restaurant. Out here in the Midwest diners don't know better. It's the jobs of those in the know to help. Bon appetite! read more

Updating based on a second visit and upon reading another review that called me out for mentioning chili oil. Please note, I did not say chili oil was Vietnamese, I merely commented that the waitress specifically mentioned it as something add on the pho (I'm aware that is not traditional). It was not brought or added to as I prefer to try the dish as intended on the first go. For this visit, I tried the chicken pho to compare to other pho places around (yes I know it's not traditional). My son loves the beef steak pho, but we both dislike the egg rolls here, not a bit of pork to be found and little flavor. Hoping they can remedy that. The fried tofu was also devoid of flavor; I'm more used to Korean fried tofu and it is more flavorful. Despite another review, we know how to read and have people in the Midwest who have lived in Korea and Vietnam and do have experience. Before you snobbishly review a place while stereotypically hating on middle America from your perch on either coast, check your language. Take a lesson from yourself and teach with compassion instead of condescension. TL;DR: Food is good, give it a try! read more

Someone mentioned this place at work and as a pho lover I had to check it out. While I don't normally go to that side of I do find it convenient that is right by jungle Jim's. The actual restaurant is slightly small but very neat and clean. The colors and decor make it look very spacious and comfortable. The service is above average! The employees are welcoming and polite. The service is quick and efficient. Now the food, is outstanding! I love the variety of options they have. We ordered the vegan pho, the fried rice and the spring rolls. The pho was defiantly my favorite pho so far in cincy. It has a different taste to the ones I've had in other places but super tasty. The fried rice was also on point, i like that they put the soy sauce on the side I find that very unique. To drink we only had green tea, they do no have alcoholic beverages, however they do have sodas that are home made I think. It's for sure worth checking it out, I would for sure go back. read more

The restaurant has a very open space concept. Got seated quickly and waitress was very sweet. We ordered the goi cuon and 2 dishes. Tried to order a fruit tea but the first two flavors we wanted were unavailable but ended up with mango fruit tea on last try. The goi cuon was very good. The pho wasn't too bad and the bun bo hue was underwhelming. Each bowl was mostly just broth. Bun bo hue had no kick/spice to it. Flavor was very different or sort of lacked. read more

The Pho Tai (steak) was amazing. Very flavorful and portion for noodles, soup, and meat were great. Very accommodating service and the restaurant was clean. If you are looking for quality authentic Vietnamese food I'd highly recommend this place. I have had lots of Pho from many different states and I can say this is some of the best. read more
