After a not so good experience last year, we went back again today for lunch. Everything was much better overall. We were seated right away. Our order was taken with no problems. We shared a fresh shrimp spring roll to start. It was expertly rolled -- no falling apart this time -- and we liked the peanut sauce that came with it. We each got a banh mi sandwich. I got my usual grilled pork without jalapeños and he tried their cold cuts with pate. The bread for each sandwich was wonderful. And each had a nice amount of cilantro, carrots, etc. We both added hoisin sauce. We thought we'd have half and take half of our sandwich home, but a couple bites in, we both said, nope. No leftovers! So glad this visit was a positive one. Up a star!
It looks like new owners here and the place is busy. The Summer rolls packed with shrimp and fresh cut veggies dipped in their peanut sauce is a great start. The Grilled Pork on soft French rolls are full of flavor and a great Lunch value!
Came here for the pho tai, which I have been eating my whole life. I see many claims here that this is the best pho ever, and maybe that's true for So FL. The broth was a little saltier and way darker than it traditionally should be. I think they enhance it by adding beef broth or some other flavoring, but that is not traditional. The portions are very generous, which made me feel a little better because the price is higher, the most I have ever paid for pho. Service was good and I could tell it's a popular Viet spot.
Pho Gia Vi -- very authentic spot and definitely worth a visit if you're craving good pho. We tried the steak pho and the vegetarian pho, and both were excellent. The broth was rich and flavorful, and the meat in the steak pho was delicious with options for rare or well done, which was nice. They give you plenty of additions on the side too -- bean sprouts, basil, jalapeños, and lime -- so you can customize it how you like. Portions are very generous. Even the small was pretty big and more than enough for one person. They also have an extensive menu beyond pho, plus a good selection of bubble teas and drinks, so there are a lot of options depending on what you're in the mood for. Everything tasted fresh and authentic, and this feels like one of those places that focuses on doing pho right rather than trying to be trendy. Would definitely come back.
Very small place, and popular with the locals. I don't know anything about this kind of food so not sure if it's authentic. From the language in the kitchen, the clientele, and the chow seems to me it is. The bill was presented in Vietnamese. OK with me. The food was very good, incredibly fresh. I don't remember what everything was, but you can check out the photos. Very large portions, reasonable. RECOMMENDED
Always delicious whenever I come here. I usually come here for pho. This was my first time trying the clams and I couldn't stop eating them!!!
I've been here twice now and this is honestly the best photo I've ever had. Everything is always fresh and the service is always great. I highly recommend if you live in the Broward area to visit. It is a smaller dining area, so it's nice when it's not busy because the first time I went, I was able to sit with my friend.
Soup was really tasty good flavor miss some pic fry rice special green massos delicious I been here couple time great service
NEVER GO TO THIS PLACE--they deceive customers and have a very rude attitude. I am a native-born Vietnamese person. I have dined at many Vietnamese restaurants throughout South Florida, but this marks the first time I have had such a truly terrible experience. Upon entering the restaurant, I was immediately met with extremely poor service attitudes from the staff. I ordered a bowl of "spicy beef soup," while my friend ordered *phở*; since we both wanted to have the same type of broth, I mentioned to the owner that my friend would also like that specific broth base. The owner, however, claimed that the standard *phở* broth was essentially the same--just the beef broth with a little spicy shrimp sauce added--which immediately struck me as suspicious. A signature characteristic of this particular spicy broth is the distinct aroma of lemongrass, yet I couldn't detect any scent of it whatsoever. I questioned the owner about this, but she insisted that what I had received was, in fact, the authentic spicy beef soup. Regrettably, she deceived me. Furthermore, when I attempted to return the dish, a kitchen staff member--who appeared to be the owner's husband--reacted with an aggressive and intimidating attitude, using disrespectful language. To make matters worse, I subsequently discovered a shard of glass or hard plastic inside my water glass, turning an already terrible experience into an absolute nightmare; throughout this ordeal, the man continued to direct rude and uneducated remarks at a paying customer. I strongly advise everyone to seek out a different, superior Vietnamese restaurant to avoid enduring the kind of dreadful experience I had. Not a single word of apology and a defiant tone.
This a go-to spot in my area! I brought my parents here and the staff told them that we're always around hahaha I usually get the P3 and spring rolls with pork. The broth always hits - it's definitely beefy and has a rich flavor. The staff is kind too. They don't all speak great English, but communicating isn't hard with the important things like ordering off the menu, getting the check, etc. Such a great hole in the wall. I love it!
I was looking for some good, authentic Vietnamese food and found this spot that had a decent amount of reviews. When we arrived, another group of 4 arrived right behind us. They sat us and them, but brought the other group menus and water before us, as well as took their order. This was my first red flag because I had to walk up to them and ask if we were able to get menus. Once we got them, we waited like another 5 minutes to get water and to order. Once we ordered, my boyfriend and I ordered Bun Bo Hue. I have certain dietary restrictions so I told the waiter what I wanted to keep in and out of the soup. While I was asking for this, she kind of was just looking at me crazy but she said she understood. We finally got our soup and I automatically noticed that they did the complete opposite of what I asked (keeping everything I asked to remove and not having what I asked to keep). The soup was also very clear, as if they just added chili paste to Pho broth. I was willing to just eat it because I was hungry but once they came back to bring our other dish, I mentioned my incorrect order. I said I'd keep it, but could they possibly just bring me a side of what I asked for. I hear the lady speaking in Vietnamese, asking if they still had pork blood. The man (I assumed was the cook) replied saying they did have some. She told him that I was supposed to have some in my soup. He then replied, still in Vietnamese, "She should've asked for it, tell her we have no more." She then turned back to me and told me they had none. Immediately, I said that I know that he just told her to tell me they didn't have anymore. She kept trying to say they didn't have anymore. I then said, "I understand Vietnamese and I know that you have some, but it's okay just don't worry about it." At this point, I am upset because the service has been terrible and I felt as if they were testing my intelligence. I am mixed with Black and Vietnamese and you cannot tell that I'm Vietnamese based on my features. I never tell anyone I understand Vietnamese until I need to. Once I said that, she seemed shocked and embarrassed. I continued on eating my soup and 5 minutes later she comes back out with a small side of the pork blood. I laughed and said "I thought you didn't have anymore." All she had to say was "We did, here you go." This ruined my entire experience here and after everything I still tried to just eat my food and keep my composure. Honestly though, the food wasn't even worth the experience we were getting. Not once did anyone apologize to me and I felt like that was very unprofessional. In conclusion, do not visit here if you want GOOD authentic Vietnamese food and good, respectable service.

1 Star -- So Disappointed, Especially From a Restaurant I Loved I am incredibly disappointed with my order from Pho Gia Vi tonight. After spending nine hours at the hospital waiting for my dad to come out of surgery, the one thing I was looking forward to was a steaming bowl of pho from what had been one of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants. I spent extra for the short rib pho and had it DoorDashed to me. I also ordered the Bi Cuon--fresh spring rolls with pork and pork skin. I've always been very pleased with the pho here in the past, which made tonight even more disappointing. The spring rolls came two to an order. I cut them in half and discovered that only one of the four halves had any noticeable pork in it, and even that was a very small amount. The rest was basically stuffed with plain, unflavored rice noodles. Then I opened the pho. The broth container was only a little over half full. The short ribs were mostly bone, and after pulling off all the meat, I had barely 1/4 cup. There was also a lemon wedge instead of lime. I reheated the broth and poured it over the noodles, meat, vegetables and herbs, but there simply wasn't enough broth to make a bowl of soup. Instead, I ended up with a bowl of mushy noodles. The frustrating part is that the flavor was delicious, as it always has been. But delicious flavor doesn't make up for receiving so little broth and meat--especially when I spent nearly $50 between the food and having it delivered. I normally will not leave a bad review without first contacting the restaurant and giving them an opportunity to make things right. Unfortunately, that experience was even more disappointing than the food. The man I spoke with told me he had personally made my order and blamed the missing broth on the waitstaff who packed it. I explained that while that might account for the half-filled broth container, it didn't explain the lack of meat in both the pho and the spring rolls. He offered to give me more broth if I drove to the restaurant. I explained that I had used DoorDash specifically because I did not have a car available. At that point, he became angry and yelled, asking what I wanted him to do about it. I offered a very reasonable solution: I could come by the following day if he was willing to remake the soup. He refused and said he would only give me the rest of the broth. I asked, "Really? You're willing to lose a repeat customer rather than replace a meal that wasn't prepared properly, after I paid all that money to have it delivered?" He said yes and hung up on me. Mistakes happen. Restaurants have off nights. I can understand that. What I cannot understand is skimping on the main ingredients of a premium-priced dish and then treating a repeat customer rudely when she calls to resolve it. I ended up ordering another bowl of pho from Veranda Kitchen & Bar, and it was exactly what I had been hoping for in the first place. After years of enjoying Pho Gia Vi, I'm genuinely sad to say that from now on, I'll be going elsewhere for my pho. read more

walking into this vietnamese restaurant you're greeted with vibrant decor honoring the upcoming lunar new year, simple wooden furniture and walls decorated with bamboo accents. we were welcomed and sat immediately. service was really fast and we didn't wait very long for our food to come out. we tried a few items off the menu which included: A1. Châ Gió - egg rolls A2. Gói Cuōn - spring rolls P2. Phô Tái - rare steak pho grilled pork bānh mí. everything was really yummy, but the phô itself was the centerpiece of the dining experience. served in a very large, steaming bowl, the broth is rich and deeply aromatic, a sign of hours of careful preparation. the noodles are perfectly cooked, soft but not mushy, and paired with tender slices of beef. it comes with a side of fresh garnishes such as crisp bean sprouts, vibrant Thai basil, lime wedges, and thinly sliced jalapeños. would definitely return to try other items off the menu! read more

This place rates a solid 4.5 stars. Ample parking in the lot located just off 441. We were immediately greeted and offered a table upon entry. The atmosphere is very relaxed and you could see the place is frequented by regulars. Cups of refreshing ice water were delivered without needing to be requested and were refilled often. We quickly placed our orders, and our chicken pho was delivered in under 10 minutes. The broth smelled AMAZING and tasted just as good. The soup additions were generous, but the friendly wait staff offered us more when she noticed our empty plate. My son and I definitely enjoyed this meal - and we left stuffed! read more

We ordered pick up from here during our stay in Fort Lauderdale. They are located near our Air BNB and the order was prepared very quickly. We ordered at 840P and were able to pick up within 20 minutes. Everything was packed well and with care. They separated the broths from the soup ingredients to maintain their integrity, which was much-needed. Grub Rundown: Pho Ga - we ordered this for our Little. It's white meat chicken pho. She loves pho and she usually gets whatever chicken pho a restaurant serves. It would have been nice if the chicken had special seasoning like with lemongrass, but I digress. She enjoyed every bite and every last bit. There were pieces of broccoli and they also sent a satchel of Thai basil, recao, bean sprouts, hoisin and sriracha. Pho Tai Chin - I ordered this for myself. Pho with steak and brisket. The steak arrived super rare and the broth was still very hot. I nuked it a little bit to make sure the meat cooked thoroughly. I always do this when I order pho with raw meat for delivery. Had I eaten in person, I would have enjoyed as is. The flavor of the broth was great. My order was also packed separately with a satchel of accouterments. Dac Biet - hubby opted for this combination bahn mi. It came wrapped up, a baguette loaded with jalapeño slices, cilantro pickled veg and a bunch of different proteins. Hubby loved the flair and ate every morsel. Vietnamese Coffee - I requested they prepare it cold because the online menu did not indicate the tempurature. They sent it cold and sweet, although there was far more ice in the cup than I would have liked but it tastes good. The pho were nice sizes. They were large enough to have leftovers. This was a nice low key dinner to have on our first night. I would order from them again. I really appreciate not having to wait too long for the food to be ready. read more

After seeing our Pho place closed we thought we would try this place. It's very casual and they have one table to eat outside. Which I don't advise. The staff was friendly. We ordered the veggie spring rolls with a peanut sauce. Very good I had the vegetarian pho. It lacked flavor my husband had a rice shrimp beef dish. He liked it. Didn't love it. Plenty of parking. The place needs updating Probably won't be going back. read more

I ordered food from DoorDash from this restaurant. I saw reviews on yelp and on DoorDash which showed good comments so I decided to give it a try. I got the chicken pho which was so freaking goodt! lol the broth was still nice and hot it was just so flavorful and delicious wow. I also had the Thai salad which is my fave made of green papaya with this sweet sauce and shrimp. I called the restaurant to add hot spicy sauce to my DoorDash order and they definitely made it happen for me, service was great. read more

Stumbled across this restaurant after wanting to try a few local Vietnamese restaurants. It was in a small plaza but I must say this is now my new favorite place to get Pho. Staff is super friendly and the wait after ordering my Pho Tai Chin Nam was about 5 minutes to get my Pho. Broth is very flavorful on its own the meat was perfect the onions were soft and perfect not too chewy. I ordered the normal size which was huge but I was not complaining lol. Overall will be back as much as possible since the food and atmosphere was great! read more
