I love the food here! The food is very flavorful and this makes this one of my top restaurants to go to. In my first review, I mentioned how they were never refilling the water, no matter who I waived down. But since that review, they have really upped their A game. They always go around asking if people would love their drinks refilled, and even if they are not your server, they are very attentive to the tables. I can tell that they all work as a team here! The only complaint is that since they switched owners a while back, the pho isnt as flavorful. But it is still really good compared to other options out there in Raleigh. read more

PFE is worthy of 5 Stars because the food is amazing, the menu is diverse, and the service is friendly and fast. Nem Nuong Cuon are still a huge treat :0 with perfect flavors and texture. These rolls are SO GOOD! Bun Bo Hue (#57 on the menu) may be my new favorite and is a spicy option, although Pho Dac Biet (#31) is great when I don't feel like having something spicy. ____ (o . o) Soda Sua Hot Ga(#11) cream beverage is a perfect way to cool the palette, btw. There is nothing fancy about PFE but this is our GO TO place for Vietnamese cuisine. Pho Far East is worthy of 5 Stars read more

Pho Far East - Nem Nuong Cuon rolls at PFE (pho far east) - Vietnamese Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Warm, satisfying and very filling Got the spring rolls 2 rolls for $7 and the steak and meatball pho $16. I would definitely come back but I think I would just get the rare steak pho cause the quality of the steak was delicious. Lots of parking in the lot. Boba and other drinks available. read more

This is the best Vietnamese food imo in the triangle! It's so flavorful, and fresh; the pho broth was amazing. They also have a few more unique Vietnamese pieces like salty lemonade. The service was fast and friendly and the portions were big for a good price. I will definitely come back here again! read more

| Overview + Our #1 rated pho in the Triangle NC + Authentic & fresh Vietnamese food + Excellent & fast customer service + Summer rolls tasted fresh - Bread of Banh Mi was hard - Vietnamese coffee was small for $5 - Space can be very limited during busy hours | Full Review Out of all the phos we've tried in the Southeast USA (or even in the world), Pho Far East's $17 Pho Dac Biet (combination pho with steak, brisket, tripe & meatball) is the best. My parents recommended this small Vietnamese restaurant in Capital Blvd., Raleigh about 5 years ago, and since then, my girl & I have been here in multiple times. One night, I even drove for 45 min. through the storm just to eat their special pho. The broth was just right: not too salty and not bland. Of course, just like with any pho, we usually add some hoisin sauce & siracha to enhance its flavor. The vermicelli noodles were well-cooked, and not soggy. A plate of sprouts and mint leaves were served on the side, and we added them all to the pho. The authentic flavor of the soup was served hot with a good amount of beef & noodles. Many other Vietnamese restaurants omit the tripe but Pho Far East's special pho puts a fine amount. Every spoonful of pho tasted delicious & healthy fresh. We usually get a bowl each of Pho Dac Biet with 1 order of Summer Rolls (2 pieces) that comes with peanut sauce for dipping, but this time, we only ordered 1 bowl, 1 order of Summer Rolls (20. Goi Cuon in the menu), 1 Bhan Mi Thit Nuong (pork Banh Mi), and 1 Vietnamese iced coffee. We shared all of them. The bowl of the pho was big enough for 2 to share but this is the kind that's worth ordering for just 1 person. The $7 Summer rolls (My girl's favorite Vietnamese appetizer) were medium-sized; we've seen larger & smaller ones in other restaurants. The cold ingredients (pork, shrimp, cucumber, basil & vermicelli wrapped in rice paper) tasted so fresh, and the amount of peanut sauce is just right for 2 pieces. The pork Banh Mi was our least favorite part of our latest order. While the grilled pork, daikon, cilantro, jalapeno, lemongrass & carrot tasted fresh, the French bread of this Vietnamese sandwich was too hard to chew. The $5 Vietnamese coffee was also not satisfying because of its small size. We'd rather make some at home. In my opinion, it lacked the creaminess we crave in a Vietnamese coffee. Our server's name was Daniel - he was friendly and provided excellent customer service. All the items in our order arrived surprisingly fast (less than 5 minutes) . Our latest visit was Sunday afternoon, and although this Pho Far East can get crowded sometimes, it wasn't super busy this time. Despite the restaurant's small size, it looked well-managed with clean dining areas and bathrooms. Pho Far East also serves Vietnamese rice dishes, but we've only tried one of them once before. If we wanted a good Vietnamese vermicelli plate, we rather go to Taste of Vietnamese in Morrisville. Pho Far East specializes in pho so that's the main reason we come here. | Overall Score: 4.5/5 read more

Wow - this is the best Vietnamese food I've tried in the triangle so far. I ordered the bun thit nuong with the spring roll and it was delicious. The spring roll was perfectly crispy and flavorful, the pork was tender and paired perfectly with the fresh vegetables and rice noodles. It was such a refreshing, savory dish - I can't wait to come back and try some other items on their menu. Wait time during peak lunch hours on the weekend is definitely long - once you get seated, though, you'll get your food in a reasonable time. Highly recommend Pho Far East if you're looking for fantastic Vietnamese food! read more

I always opt for a rice dinner. The grilled pork is my favorite. The spicy chicken in lemongrass is also good. The service is always excellent, everyone is so nice.

On my most recent visit, I ordered Goi Cuon as an appetizer and Pho Dac Biet as my entree. Although the space is small, there are many tables for seating and our group was seated promptly. The food came out very quickly as well, but I never felt rushed in any way. The service was very friendly, very prompt, and they were quick to bring out things we requested (such as an extra bowl and extra silverware). The food was excellent here. The pho broth had great flavor, the portion size was very generous, and the meats and toppings were all good quality and plentiful. The pricing was reasonable for what I got as well. In my opinion, this is probably one of the best places, if not the best place, to get pho in the Triangle area. read more

Food, service, ambience is first class! Highly recommend Pho Far East! I look forward to trying more of the menu. Will be going again soon for sure! read more

Still my go-to Pho spot. The menu is updated, but food still as good as ever. Been here many, many times and still the only thing I've ever ordered is the pho. Enormous bowl, hearty flavorful broth, big portion of steak, brisket, tripe and meatballs. Fresh basil and bean sprouts. How can you go wrong? Consistency is important and this place always was and continues to be great! read more

Broth was pretty good--a tad bit salty and I feel like the flavor of the spices could have been stronger. But overall, still delicious & I enjoyed my meal. Not the biggest portion but still a good amount. Brisket was thin and tender, noodles were good. The inside definitely feels like you're at a local viet restaurant run by family and it can't get any better than that. By far the most decent pho I've had in RTP. It feels impossible to find a good authentic bowl of pho in this area to be honest. read more

Pho Far East has been a long-time favorite of my family. Often we would swing by when we were in the area to get some quality Vietnamese food. Coming from California, there are fantastic Vietnamese restaurants everywhere. When we moved to NC, we were surprised by how hard it was to find a quality Vietnamese restaurant that serves great pho. Pho Far East is the one exception. Pho Far East delivers on all its dishes, leaving you satisfied regardless of what you order. What I like most about this place is that they don't skimp on the ingredients. There is plenty of noodle, meat, and vegetables in the bowl. The soup is delicate and well prepared, enough so that it doesn't overpower any of the individual ingredients. I can confidently say 5/5 stars, definitely give this place a try if you are in the area and looking for some great food. read more

Food was delicious, the best pho in Raleigh! The Bahn Mi was also super good, the meat was flavorful and super tender. Great Service!

My normal pho spot. I come when I'm craving bun rieu...recent change by the owner? It now comes with an omelette with absolutely no crab meat or crab flavor. Quite disappointing. It seems they adapted from midtown pho. However, the beef pho is still delicious and the quail is good. This will still be my pho spot since they are very consistent with their food. read more

Prior to visiting Pho Far East, I wasn't a big fan of Pho. Well this place has completely changed my mind! The flavors of each dish blended together so well, the level of spice was perfection, and the menu selections made it difficult to narrow down what I wanted as you can see from my photos. The foods as simply delightful. Served hot and fresh from a more than pleasant and accommodating waitress, this in the cut restaurant will have you returning from Far west for more. I'll definitely be returning and bringing some friends along! read more

This is my go to for pho. I usually have the bun bo hue and it never disappoints. Their broth is infused with the right heat and not just added on to regular broth like other place.

On vacation hanging out with a bunch of Asian friends in NC, we had to get some Viet food at the local Pho place, so we came to Pho Far East! I love my Vietnamese Broken Rice dishes, so I got the #88 on the menu: Com Thit Nuong Bi Cha, Steamed rice with grilled pork, shredded pork skin, pork & egg quiche, and veggies . The presentation was great, everything laid out in a nice manner with colorful arrangements on the plate with the veggies, meat, and sauce! The dish was pretty tasty overall, good seasoning and flavor on the meat, it was a bit on the chewier side but it's not a big deal with this type of grilled meat. Service was nice and friendly, and quickly accommodated our large group of 8+ people throughout our whole lunch experience! read more

Great place for Pho and other Vietnamese dishes (rice dishes and bahn mi). This is probably our favorite restaurant in the Triangle and we have been numerous times even though we live in Durham.

Highly recommend for quick service and great food. read more

Really Good Food - I was very pleasantly surprised on my first visit to Pho Far East. The service was quick and courteous, the portions were large, the prices were reasonable and the food was absolutely delicious. The Banh Canh Tom Thit ($14.39), Vietnamese udon noodles with shrimp and pork, was all you could ask for. The noodles were thick and tender, the broth bursting with flavor; and there was just enough shrimp and pork too make it interesting. I also like the side plate of fresh bean sprouts, fresh jalapèno slices and fresh Thai basil leaves - a great way to add some zest to an already great soup. I don't get to Raleigh very often, but whenever I do, I am going to make Pho Far East one of my regular stops. read more

Overall, best Vietnamese I've had, super friendly and authentic. They have a great menu as well.

Pho Far East is a hole-in-the-wall spot in the northeast Raleigh area. Our food came out super quickly. We ordered the Pho with sliced rare beef and Bun Bo Hue. The pho broth was quite flavorful and full, and it came with a good portion of meat. The Bun Bo Hue was also delicious, hearty, and came in generous portions. We'd say that Pho Far East probably serves some of the best pho in the RDU area. It may be a lower bar to clear, but if we're really craving pho or vietnamese food, we'd make the hike out to Pho Far East. read more

We found Pho Far East about a year ago. Since then we've eaten here five or six times, and they always been great!! Service is friendly, quick, and responsive. The place is always clean. And the Pho DaC Biet (combination Pho) is delicious and fresh. Their broth is fragrant and rich, toppings are always fresh, and their noodles are cooked to the ideal consistency (no limp noodles, friends!). Oh, and they have traditional sate...Vietnamese chili oil. So I can kick up the spice as much as I like. It's a pleasure to find down home, no frills Pho that reminds me of the authentic bowls I found in Saigon. Pho Far East is our new go-to! Everything you want in a bowl, nothing you don't! read more

I have been here many times as I really like the food The staff is always attentive even when the place is full It takes a little bit of time to prepare the fresh food but worth the wait. I like to start with the spring roll with the peanut sauce and from there will either go one of the soups or noodle bowls read more
