This Pho spot in Bay Ridge is another institution! It's been here since forever and I am seriously glad that it has! They used to be cash only but you can now use Zelle or Venmo to pay for your order in store. No frills Vietnamese restaurant. My go-to orders are the pork chop bahmi (no jalapeño + light on mayo) and the pork chop pho (no bean sprouts but I usually foget to say that) This is one of the few place that have kept the pho traditional! I got my order to go - luckily, everything is pacakge separately. The broth, noodles/onions/scallions, pork chops (they are really generous w/the portions), bean sprouts/lime/,hoisen + Sriracha sauce - all come in separate containers Definitely worth a return trip regardless if you're order to go or dining in read more

Pho Hoai - After putting the to go pho together (I cut the pork chop into smaller pieces) - Vietnamese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This place has been around almost as long as I've been alive and it's never let me down. A lot of Vietnamese spots over the years have started shrinking portions and raising prices but I've never noticed that here. I always get the Bo Kho. It's a rich beef stew with a strong tomato base. Super beefy and super tomatoey, kind of like the tomato broth at hotpot if you know what I mean. Since the flavor is bold, a lot of places end up making it too salty but this one gets it just right. The meat is brisket with tendons running through it, which gives it great texture and that melt in your mouth feel if you're into that. They're also generous with the amount of meat they give. The staff are really friendly. The same waitress has been there for years and usually recognizes regulars. read more

Good Vietnamese restaurant. The food and service were both ok. Would like to revisit this location and try out more items from the menu besides the beef pho. The prices for the food is also fair. read more

Came for a quick lunch after a pedicure appointment as this was nearby. Noticed some hair and dirty stuff in the spoon area after I already placed my order (see picture). I had ordered a vegetable summer roll and a pho noodle soup. By this point, I was already kinda gross out and didn't enjoy my meal as much. I didn't want to use the spoon and use napkin to wipe my utensils before eating. Perhaps the mess was from previous customers? I didn't even bother to take a picture of my pho noodles and just quickly ate (tried not to think) and left. This cap off my horrible morning already and hope the rest of my day gets better. read more

Great food! Always fresh! Pretty quick service! Never disappoints. Authentic food! Servers are great as well. Been coming here for years.

Called to have my order for pick up. They are cash only but also accept debit. I'm really picky about my Vietnamese food and when I picked up there were signs in Vietnamese from their grand opening and Vietnamese music playing so that put me at ease haha! Pork and vermicelli was solid. I got the large sized Canh Chua Ca/sweet sour soup with salmon and I should have stuck with a regular because that came in 2 quart containers but Hey! Dinner for a couple of days! The salmon was cooked to perfection. Also got dessert, Che Ba Mau and it was so tasty. Looking forward to trying the rest of the menu! read more

Pho Hoai - Beef Stew and Vietnamese Comb Platter. - Vietnamese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Ordered uber eats (usually go and pick up myself). The portions were smaller to make up for the 30% Uber takes (and Im okay with that... a small business needs to survive). However, the sandwich I ordered was so inedible with meat that was green around the edges. It smelt rotten and tasted sour. I called but they weren't interested in helping me out...or even believing me. They basically implied I was lying. No problem....Ill never go there again. read more

The pho in this store is okay. Have many tables to sit. The noodles are firm and little smooth. The beef is little dry. All taste alright. read more

Pho Hoai - 14. Pho Bo Vien - Vietnamese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This is my go-to Vietnamese spot in Brooklyn. My mom used to take me and my siblings here when we were younger, and I remember her having conversations with the same staff still there today. Whenever I go to Vietnamese restaurants nowadays, I don't really hear people speaking Vietnamese, so this place brings me comfort. I've had multiple dishes from their menu and enjoyed them all. I always start with Goi Cuon and end with Che Ba Mau every visit. Some of my favorite dishes are Goi Tom, Bun Bo Luc Lac, Bun Tom Nuong, Com Suon Bi Cha, Pho Do Bien, and Pho Bo Kho. I'm a creature of habit, but maybe I'll branch out and try a different dish each time I revisit going forward. read more

This place is bullshit. Don't come here. Never in my life order pho with this small portion. I was on the way home and saw this restaurant and decided to give a shot. Ordered take out and once I open up the bag . Im in shock. The portion size is worst of any viet restaurant. The takeout box for the noodle is not even half full, it's only 1/3 full. The soup was only half full on the container, and the meat was literally Fkin 5 piece. Come on bro. I know business is hard now days but you can't be scamming people when they order take out, minimizing the portion and all. Never will I visit this place again. read more

I came here and I really enjoyed this Vietnamese restaurant. I love a good fresh, clean soup and clean environment. The menu has a lot of food I have yet to try, but what I did eat was very satisfying. I had the cha gio Vietnamese spring rolls as an appetizer and the fried calamari. They were both very crispy to the bite and so good. The spring rolls have meat inside. I then ordered the big bowl soup, xe lua pho. Comes with mint leaves on the side and bean sprouts. The soup itself consists of rice noodles with beef brisket, navel, frank, omosa tendon, and eye of round. Very fresh, very delicious. The service was nice and timely and kind. I will be back and try more of this restaurants' food read more

This place was okay, we were looking for someplace quick and cheap. It was really cold so we wanted something hot. I got the pho special, and we got the curry chicken, rice noodles with spring rolls, and a bahn mi. Their service was pretty quick and the staff were friendly. The pho broth was okay, it was hot. But it wasn't that flavorful. The beef tendon was sliced really thin which I liked. The curry chicken was good, and the rice noodles with spring rolls was also good. Nothing really stood out. I really wanted dessert, but we were so full from all the food! read more

Pretty average Vietnamese restaurant in Bay Ridge. We stumbled upon this restaurant during a rainy day and was craving pho. So we ordered a Banh Mi, the Vietnamese Spring Rolls, and the pho. The broth for the pho was lacking depth and a little on the sweet side but it was still a lot better than other Vietnamese restaurants in brooklyn. The meat for the pho was a little lacking, usually get a lot more variety too. The spring rolls and the banh mi was decent. The service was a little slow, but the waiters were attentive. Definitely recommend if you're craving viet food read more

After today I won't be ordering delivery anymore. I always order the same pho--less noodles and extra broth, twice a month. They never charged me extra for the request until today for $2.75. Insane. After receiving my order, I was utterly disappointed. They didn't skim the oil from the broth, the broth is dirty and so salty. They stopped giving lime/lemons and basil months ago, and forget about the mint that comes with cha gio. It's the inconsistencies that made me write the review and it's been happening since 2024 and I've been ordering here for three years. So disappointing. After today, I won't be ordering delivery anymore. read more

Pho Hoai - Beef Ball Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Feel so bad giving them 3 stars but it is average. The best pho is still in Bronx at Kingsbridge Road. I ordered the pho XL ($12). Soup was super bland, noodles were starchy. Also, they used the thick noodles and not the thin noodles. Condiments and beef were okay. I ordered the Vietnamese sandwich combo ($7.50). I was not surprised because they used the soft bread that other places in NYC use. The crunchy bread makes banh mi taste so much better. The location is very south so unless I have reason to be in this area and have mega pho cravings I would not come back. It's a very local joint where people in the neighborhood walk over here to grab quick food or take out. Heard the owners speak Vietnamese, but they hire Cantonese speaking workers also. read more

If I can give this place 0 stars, I would do so. The attitude of the owner was so rude and disrespectful; I will no longer order from here again. I ordered delivery and paid around 20% tip. When I tried to order again, the owner and/or delivery person said they were no longer delivering to my specific location because the tip was too small when I ordered and paid tip appropriate for my order. They were also just nasty on the phone when I asked why. read more

The pho here is pretty good. I enjoyed it. today I got the house special banh mi sandwich and thought it was very good. bread was fresh and the filling was delicious. I would definitely come back for both. read more

I used to go here with my wife and the food was wonderful, we never had an issue. I ordered food for my family today 4 orders of pho dac biet, they didnt put any tendon, no tripe, no omassa, no basil, lemon instead of lime.... not sure whats going on with them but if things have changed this drastically it would seem they're going downhill. I hope they get it back together because I loved going here read more

Some of the best pho at a good price :) the grilled chicken and pork are good too. Spring rolls delicious as well.

When I realized I haven't written an updated review for here since 2017, hubby and I decided to give their take out a try on a Friday night. Considering the distance we are from the place, we were quite surprised to see over an hour wait time for delivering one order of summer rolls and two banh mi sandwiches. Regardless, we ordered and opted to wait and see. Sadly, the experience seemed to be pretty consistent with the last time we ordered from here. The summer rolls were NOT fresh; they definitely were prepared in the morning and had been sitting around for some time. The shrimp inside weren't even whole; they were sliced so thin, they could've been sliced with a cold cut slicer. Unimpressed and pretty bland. I got the grilled pork banh mi and my husband got the steak. Honestly, the flavoring on the grilled pork was better, but it was more bread than anything. Great satisfying crunch, and the bread was definitely a day old or so. Overall, if you're looking for cheap eats, this is it. Otherwise, brace yourself for a fairly forgettable take-out experience. read more

Pho -- 9.5/10. The best pho of my life Bahn mi -- 8/10 Service -- 9/10 Vibe -- 7/10 Easily the best Vietnamese food around. The people in here are so nice and would recommend. Been here more than 5 times and never had a problem read more

Solid Vietnamese spot to grab some pho if you're shopping or exploring the area. They're pretty fast to get the food out and when they grill the chicken, it makes certain pieces of it pretty crunchy. The soup for the pho has little to no flavor though, but that's OK for their price range. read more

Pho Hoai - Grilled Chicken Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Came here on a rainy Sunday and it was very good, would definitely return for quality Vietnamese. Pros: - Delicious #2 (Dac Biet & Bo Vien: combination special big bowl with beef balls) and #7 (Tai Nam Gan- navel & tendon) Phos: huge portions and great flavor for affordable prices. We shared Fried Spring Rolls and Banh Hoi Thit Heo Nuong (grilled pork on tiny rice stick with lettuce, cucumber & mint leaves) for the table and those were excellent. The Banh Hoi Thit Heo Nuong was probably our favorite dish, the grilled pork was on point and the thin rice noodle sticks complimented perfectly with the pork and fish sauce. Cons: - Bun Bo Luc Lac (marinated beef cubes with vegetable on rice vermicelli) was not our favorite and would not order again. The beef cubes were on the drier side and very salty. The noodles were also thicker so didn't soak up the fish sauce as well. - Slow drink service. We had to remind the wait staff about our tea and Vietnamese coffee. read more

Every NYer has their own hangover cure. Some like a BEC on a bagel, others go for an obnoxiously spicy Bloody Mary, and then there is pho. At Pho Hoai in Bay Ridge, they've perfected every facet of the dish. I always forget about that last shot of whiskey I shouldn't have had the night before every time I visit. For years I have stopped into Pho Hoai and it rarely disappoints. It's a no-frills type of restaurant with excellent prices and deliciously comforting food. Their pho is made with a fortifying broth that is dense, rich and when their chili sauce is squirted in it practically melts right into the liquid. You can choose your protein (or go veggie). I go with thinly sliced ribeye that is tender and very flavorful. Combined with a firm tangle of rice noodles and the usual pho accompaniments (fresh Thai basil, sprouts, lime), this is a hearty dish that truly satisfies. I've yet to sample the other Vietnamese dishes on the menu as I am loyal to the pho, but I can't imagine they'd disappoint! read more

Great customer service. The waiter is extremely friendly and funny. He is very interactive with all customers and has a great personality. I came here a few times back in high school given the close proximity to school and I came here again recently to meet up with my high school friends. Nothing much has changed all these years that passed. The food is still great and exactly what I expected. read more

This is my favorite viet place! Always come here when I can. Love the pho here as the broth is flavorful even without adding any sauce. Spring rolls are hot and very crispy and clearly made in-house rather than store bought prepackaged versions. Service is very fast, and the ambiance is great even during peak hours. read more

My usual viet place didn't turn on their grub hub today so this was my chance to try this spot, I ordered a #1 cause I needed to be resurrected after a night out drinking..it did the job but I think my usual spot is better, this soup base is more sweet and the amount of noodles is quite little. I do appreciate that their food comes in bowls that you can actually use to eat the noodles unlike the cardboard Chinese takeout things my noodle usually comes in. Again, it did the job but was only okay for me read more

Review for their Take-Out-Delivery only. I've actually eaten here before looooong time ago, while shopping at Century 21. But can't remember much, so to be fair, will only review their take-out quality. Delivery is on-time! Love that! The food stayed warm! Love that even more! The freaking Spring Rolls stayed crispy!! - YESSS! We've tried the grilled pork chop over rice, grilled pork chop with crab patty, grilled pork & crispy spring rolls over vermicelli. It was all very good and the whole family enjoyed it. We are so happy we found a much better Viet eats to deliver to our house. The other one, which serves mediocre viet food made by non-viet peeps (err... pho 18) -is no longer on our dinner rotation! Happy dance! read more

Pho Hoai - Yummy! Grilled pork with spring rolls over vermicelli - Vietnamese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Update: today I stopped by with a couple of my friends and we ordered the chicken and broccoli the number 1 soup number 10 soup bowl and a orderan order of the summer roll. Also I ordered a to go cup of their Vietnamese coffee (hot). Everything was so delicious my only disappointment was that I asked for extra broccoli and didn't get extra broccoli. But, overall my experience at this restaurant has been great for all the various times I have been here to eat. I have died here on various occasions and I do have to say even when the restaurant is very busy and tables are full they accommodate everyone to their needs and the chefs are amazing at their jobs because they have the food to us in less than 15 minutes. read more

This is a restaurant franchise with locations all over NYC, and pretty similar quality of food and menus. I ordered a BBQ pork Viet sandwich and a Vietnamese iced coffee over the phone and walked over to pick it up. The sandwich was impeccable. The pork had so much BBQ flavor and was slightly crispy. I eat a lot of Vietnamese sandwiches and this was one of the more memorable ones. The Vietnamese iced coffee was sweet yet strong, with the bitter taste from the concentrated drip. Prices are fair and this is still authentic Viet food despite it being a chain. read more
