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

Pho Hoai - BBQ Pork Bahn Mi and Viet coffee - Vietnamese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Tried a grilled chicken rice, pork chop vermicelli and bun no hue for takeout. The chicken rice was good and flavorful enough but I wouldn't mind if it's juicier and more tender. The grilled pork had too much lemongrass and pepper to it. It was still decent to eat but pieces were thin and a little tough, and not enough smoke from the 'grilling'. The Bun Bo Hue is really good. got the flavor and light kick to it. they give you a good amount of meat as well. I honestly came here because the other spot on Avenue U was closed. It wasn't a bad choice, food was good but I think the other spot is better. I wonder if they would consider adding Bun Rieu to the menu? 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

Been here so many times and I am sure I wrote a review before but apparently it's gone. Here to an updated review. Pretty typical pho spot similar to one you will find in Chinatown and same price. Finding a spot is quick, we are starving. We got the house tea instantly and our menu. going for our regular, the wait is about 5 minutes for our food. I was amazed. Pho is amazing. I wish they can put a little more meat and broth thou. Spring roll is freshly fried and totally worth it. This place is pretty big and good enough for a big group. The place can get loud with long of people but you don't have to scream. I love the decorations and bathroom is clean enough. read more

This place serves a decent bowl of pho. My parents, cousin, and I stopped in for lunch after shopping nearby. Service was fine. There were only two men serving tables and running the front area of the restaurant (all of the tables were filled). My bowl of pho (#1 on the menu) was tasty! The thin layers of meat were perfectly pink and the bowl comes with a good amount of assorted meat. The spring rolls were crunchy and full of flavor (great appetizer). My dad ordered number 33, which was a beef stew that comes with bread, but he substituted it for yellow noodles and it was delicious! Maybe I'll venture out and order something other than pho next time I step into a Vietnamese restaurant... maybe. For dessert, we ordered the rainbow ice with coconut milk. Yes, this dessert is a must have if you love coconut milk. So gooooood and not overly sweet. I will definitely return if I'm in the area and craving a bowl of pho. read more

Pho Hoai - Vietnamese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I really enjoyed my lunch experience at Pho Hoai. Highlights were the pho, fried spring rolls, and grilled pork on rice noodles (Banh Hoi Thit Heo Nuong). The spring rolls were super crispy and served with fresh lettuce to wrap the rolls in. The pho broth was super flavorful and tasted like it was cooked for hours. The meat in the pho also tasted fresh and was quite tender. As good as the pho was, our favorite as the grilled pork on rice noodles. The pork was perfectly seasoned/marinated and worked perfectly with the rice noodle pancakes which you wrap around the pork. The Vietnamese ice coffee was also on point and very strong just how I like it. I will definitely be returning to get my Vietnamese fix. read more

Not sure why I had this place bookmarked. I need to start writing notes in them. This is standard pho for New York - nothing extraordinary and definitely wouldn't trek all the way over here just for their pho. Taste the same as the ones you get in Chinatown. It's weird they call their tendons tripe here. It's not tripe, it's tendon and please don't call it tripe tendon either. I ordered cafe Sua da and never got it, but overall the people were nice and friendly. We ordered #1 and #2 pho - eh. It did it's purpose. read more

One of the best spots in bay ridge. Often overlooked, but worth it in every way! The food is spectacular.

Wasn't feeling well one day so I decided to order some pho for takeout. The food was picked up and when it arrived home it was still hot and fresh. I got the pho with grilled chicken and spring rolls and my fiancé ordered one of the other options I don't remember. Let me start off saying the spring rolls were amazing. The pho was nice and warm, the chicken was DELICIOUS, and the portion size was really good and filling. The broth was flavorful. I felt so much better after eating this! This will def be my go to spot. read more

Is this the best phó shop in Vietnam? Nope. NYC? Also, nope. In the general neighborhood vicinity? Oh absolutely yes. I've been coming here for 15+ years, and it is always pretty good. Is it between early December and mid April? Are you in Bay ridge? Come here, have soup, be happy. read more

One of the last few good Vietnamese spots in Brooklyn! They've been here for so many years and I came again recently after a long time not having been here. I ordered the No 42. grilled shrimp with rice stick. I found it to be really good, veggies fresh, shrimp grilled to perfection, and the fish sauce is yummy. My hubby got the No 1. Pho Dac Biet, it seemed short on the tripe and eye round, but the beef was very generous portions. The broth was very tasty and not too salty. We got spring rolls to share which was cooked well, seems to be less meat inside and more filler, maybe taro? But they are longer than other places spring rolls so that's nice. The only complaint I had is that they kept bringing other peoples dishes to me and the waitstaff seemed confused between tables. But they were very nice and apologetic. Service quick otherwise. I would definitely come again! Parking around the area can be tough but not impossible! Plenty of meter parking. read more

What can I say? I can't stop gushing about their vietnamese spring rolls. They are so good. On top of that, I don't feel all that bad eating it even with its fried because they come with lettuce and you can wrap the roll inside it. It also comes with a sauce that makes it taste oh so good! The service varies and the order usually takes a while, so don't come here if your short on time. However, the food is delicious so I don't mind the wait. read more

Stumbled upon this while I was waiting for my car. I don't understand the bad reviews! - Spring rolls - perfectly fried, tasty, meaty - Fried shrimp cakes with vermicelli - OMNOMNOMNOMNOM - Pork with bun - DROOOOOOOOOOOOOL - Pho is okay. We finished off with Vietnamese coffee. So dense and caffeinated... read more

The food is really flavorful and alway fresh. They never believe me when i say spicy i mean it but hey this is gringo land and I think a lot of restaurants veer on the side of caution regarding spicy. It's casual and laid back and not over priced. We love the pho in our house and the various other soups. I love the mint and basil that gets served with various dishes. i personally feel the Vietnamese dishes are better than the ones that seem Chinese.The staff and service is friendly and attentive enough. Delivery is well packed and they listen to special requests like my kid does not like the scallions on the pho noodles which is the difference between her eating and not, and they leave it off as we ask which is not always the case with special requests in some places. read more

Great food! The Pho is the best in Bay Ridge and their sandwiches are amazing. The price is super reasonable and the staff is always friendly. Pickup is always pretty easy and when eating in, they have great service! The place is super super clean and their chicken specialties are soo good!!! I've been here a few times since the previous paragraph, and their curry (#27) and spicy chicken with green onion (#31) were perfection. Their Vietnamese rolls are also perfect and super crispy. Get the large portion, because these things will be eaten! This is My go to place in Bay Ridge for good quality food. It makes me so happy to have this place close by. It reminds me of a local spot I had back in my hometown, and this place is great quality food. You never feel gross after eating here (even when I've over eaten way too much), it is just quality tasty food. They also have the hoisin sauce, red pepper sauce, and sriracha on the table- IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY!!! Their rice is also amazing... literally anything, you can't go wrong! Ps- when dining in you get free hot tea! read more

the highlight of pho hoai is undoubtedly the food! the noodles are perfectly cooked, and the combination of tender meat, fresh herbs, and crunchy bean sprouts is perfect :) however, it's worth noting that the service can be a bit slow, especially during peak hours. overall, pho hoai is a great spot to visit if you're in the neighborhood and you're craving pho. read more

The pho was awesome. Took some scouring of the menu to figure out what was equivalent to my go to from my favorite pho place in Connecticut - answer: #1 & #3 (the only difference is size - the #1 is bigger...I got a #3 dac biet). I've been searching for a year for a replacement for my beloved Pho Boston in West Hartford, CT since I moved (here: https://www.yelp.com/biz/pho-boston-west-hartford) and this place comes pretty damn close. Too bad I live way out in Riverdale up in the Bronx and this is way out in Bay Ridge...for comparison: I probably could have gotten in my car and driven 3/4 of the way to Pho Boston in the amount of time it took me to ride down to this place on the subway. (I had other things to do in the area, hence why I was around.) I'd love to come here more often but let's be honest...it's a haul. Pho was priced reasonably and came out hot & very quickly after I ordered, restaurant was clean...con - they seem to only have canned soda and despite the place being pretty empty the service sucked after I got my food...wouldn't have killed them to refill my water glass...and it took forever to get my check. That said, before tip, the bill for my dinner was less than $10 and my hankering for pho has been cured for now. Aside from being basically ignored after I got my bowl of pho, I can't complain about anything. Next time I go back I'll have to try the bahn mi and the spring rolls. read more

Pho Hoai - Vietnamese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

absolutely delicious food - i come here at least once a week for pho, bun, a rice dish, or a banh mi. everything in the menu is homey and delicious. every time i come i love that i can order something different. prices are great as well. highly recommend! don't listen to the bad reviews - they're just bitter white people. the owners are kind, it's an asian restaurant with good food so the focus is on that and not white glove service. this is definitely my favorite place to eat in bay ridge. read more

I used to go to this restaurant before pandemic and today I had huge cravings for their food. So I walked into the restaurant and ordered one ban mi and one noodles. Asked for them to be delivered at certain time. Asked a few times if they can really make it on time and they said yes. Food was 20 and I gave the person 5 dollars tip cuz everyone is going through hardship at this time. I wanted to support local business. But obviously this place doesn't appreciate it. Food wasn't delivered in time and called them back when the food will be delivered. Then the guy said sth like "delivery is busy!" etc Don't promise if you can't make it. I can wait a bit more for the food, but at least say sorry first than yell at me on the phone. Update: got the food after 30mins. Still unhappy with their customer service. But tbh food is super delicious. read more

Pho is simply ok. I've had better as other reviewers have written in other reviews. Their spring rolls are excellent. I've enjoyed their rice dishes. They are a better option as far as flavor. Delivery is fast and efficient. It's a great option in Bayridge when you just don't have the energy to cook. read more

Just like any good local Vietnamese restaurant in NYC, but sometimes that can be a good thing. And that's exactly the case here! I've frequented Pho Hoai quite a number of times and their menu is basically a replica of many other Vietnamese restaurants I've been to in the city. Not only are the items listed the same as other restaurants, but the pictures too. They serve your typical pho bowls, appetizers, vermicelli and beef/chicken/vegetarian rice dishes. My wife and I have had our fair share of pho, vermicelli, spring rolls, summer rolls and pork chop over rice dishes and everything has always been tasty, prepared right and exactly as we love it. Although the #1 Xe Lua (Combination extra big bowl) is always the most popular of dishes at a restaurant like Pho Hoai, our new favorite by far is the Bun Cha Gio (spring rolls with lettuce on rice vermicelli). Not only is vermicelli the choice of noodle, but it's served with 5 spring rolls to boot. If you're more of a rice dish person, then go with the Com Suon Nuong Lap Xuong Apla (grilled pork chop with sausage & egg over rice). The service has always been quick and cordial here. The waiters are not going to go out of their way to please you, but they'll get your order to you promptly. Overall, Pho Hoai is a great option if you're looking for a relatively inexpensive and tasty Viet meal. read more

Service is quick and polite, the Taì soup is delicious with just the right amount of everything to make the world outside seem a little easier to deal with. I have a hard time finding Vietnamese in Long Island, so coming into Brooklyn means a pit stop for some soup before going home. (Sometimes I buy 2, to go) more for me, for later. :D read more

I give the spring rolls 5 stars but the pho 3 stars. The spring rolls were some of the best I have eaten. The fried skin was very crispy. The pork inside was delicious. In addition, the meat was very hot. It was amazing that the inside was much hotter than the outside, especially since the skin of the spring rolls are a hard outside shell. In regards to the pho, I was disappointed. I ordered the xe lua: combination of extra big bowl with brisket, frank, navel, omosa tendon, and eye of round. First, the noodles were a bit flimsy. I like them thicker and more firm. Next, the meats were edible but did not taste that fresh. Finally, the broth could have been thicker and had more taste. However, the taste could have been a byproduct of substandard beef. I also did not like that the broth was lukewarm. I like the bowl very hot when it comes out, especially when I am ordering to warm up during a cold night. Next, time I will probably get the bun (vermicelli) with spring rolls instead. read more

This is like any other Pho spot I've been to. Great food, good service. BF pho bowl with beef. This is the only place he'll eat it. I had the pork chop over rice with shredded beef. I should have just gotten the porkchops over rice. You get more for your money. I also got the cold tea with lemonade. Its okay. I did finish it. I don't come to the area much, but i would recommend the place. They're fast, the place is clean, and the prices are very reasonable. read more

Their soup is PhoNomenal. It makes miso happy :) I will stop myself right there.... O_O This is seriously the best Pho I've had in Brooklyn. I've checked out a few places in different neighborhoods and none come close to the richness and the flavor of this broth. The grilled chicken and grilled pork are cooked to perfection, flavorful and juicy. Their #1 has everything but the kitchen sink, comes in a bowl that is twice the size of your head and every piece of meat you can imagine. The thing is huge and I'd be frankly shocked if anyone could finish that thing. Their Bahn Mi is apparently just OK, but I always only ever get the soup, so this review is specific to the various Pho they serve here and it's 5 stars because it really is the best I've had in NYC. read more

favorite viet place of all times, always get their #1 pho with extra noodles. so good and i love the staff there read more

Pho Hoai - Vietnamese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Used to be a go-to option...but now they do not take credit cards. Food is good; service is inconsistent.

My husband (who is Vietnamese) and I ordered from this place recently and we were pleasantly surprised! Their broth had the wonderful spicy rich aromatic undertones of star anise, cinnamon, peppercorn and the depth that comes from roasted beef bones and charred onions. Even thinking about it makes me salivate. Oh, and the sliced beef is really good quality and they send a heaping portion (what else could you ask for?!) This is the real deal, folks. Their spring rolls are filled with herbs and they send all the right fixings when you order delivery. A must on a chilly or otherwise miserable day -- really lifts my spirits! Recently we ordered vermicelli bowls but we always test a place out first by ordering pho. The meat in the vermicelli bowl (pork) was succulent and there was lots of it. The rice noodles were cooked perfectly and the cha gio (deep fried spring rolls) were not only crispy but had all the tasty fixings. They also don't use cheap fish sauce -- folks, when you eat a lot of Vietnamese food you can just tell. My only issue is they could put more vegetables in their vermicelli bowls. I'm not someone who likes to carb load, but that's personal preference on my part. Full disclosure we haven't eaten in restaurant, but if we're in the neighborhood we will. Currently really enjoying this as a delivery option. read more

Not the greatest Vietnamese, but it's super cheap and they take credit cards. A lot of their rice dishes are basically the same thing, just with different meats. Standard pickled daikon/carrots and a side of vinegar/fish sauce type of stuff. We did take away. I had the grilled beef with spring rolls over vermicelli. There were only three tiny pieces of rolled beef, which were kinda dry. The spring rolls didn't hold up in the 10 minute ride home, and were soggy. Overall pretty bland. Note that their menu only lists like 3 banh mi types, but in the store, they have about 5 more variations. read more

Ownership must have changed. Everything from service to flavor dropped significantly. The menu is missing multiple items. The number pho no longer has tripe or tendon in it. Avoid this place if you don't want to be disappointed. read more

While visiting my childhood friend in NYC we decided to drop by Pho Hoai for lunch for a quick light bite. Seating is fairly spacious and can accommodate larger parties towards the back The menu is extensive and covers a wide range of options so I am certain you will find something worth trying I went with my standard pho beef bowl and shared an order of fresh rolls with my friend All I can say is, everything was satisfactory but no true standouts Overall Thoughts While the food didn't leave a lasting impression, my catch up with my friend certainly did read more

I've gone to Pho Hoai many times and I've ordered food from there on GrubHub many times. Usually the food is decent. For my most recent order, my husband placed an order for a chicken dish but they sent over a beef dish instead. My husband DOES NOT eat beef so he called the restaurant and all they could do was give him a refund. So he was left with no dinner because our delivery address is "too far" to redeliver, which is asinine since we live like 15 mins away by car. This whole issue was their fault to begin with and they couldn't resolve it in our favor. We won't eating here again any time soon. I'm sure we can find better Vietnamese food in Brooklyn Chinatown anyway. read more

Got the regular beef pho (#1) and the stewed beef soup (#10) and split the chicken banhmi sandwich - everything was amazing, flavorful and fresh ..will definitely be back for everything else (kept salivating over other ppl's dishes walking past us as well) read more

I tried the #16 - rice noodles beef soup with grilled pork chop for delivery. The grilled pork chop was mostly burned and very tough to chew through. The noodles and beef soup were decent. They give a good amount of noodles. Give the other menu items a try but definitely skip on the pork chops unless you want a jaw workout... read more
