What I truly cannot comprehend is all of these five star reviews. Seriously. I am not trying to be condescending, but perhaps most of these folks giving such a high rating really have not had authentic Vietnamese food, not this pan Asian stuff. I am detailed here for work for 2 yrs from Manhattan Beach, CA, where finding different AUTHENTIC ethnic foods is always just a short drive away. Like real Mexican food, NOT Tex Mex, delicious food from Persia, India, Japan Vietnam, etc. I can tell you that this Pan Asian food is not the flavorful, fragrant Vietnamese food that I am accustomed to. The service left a lot to be desired , too. I was very, very underwhelmed. I was just desperately craving some good Vietnamese food but boy are there slim pickings in this region. My son clearly ordered curry- and received Panda Express style beef & broccoli. Not even a hint of curry. I was just too wiped out from the day to even argue the issue or tell them they brought us the wrong stuff, plus the guy taking our order seem to be in very short supply as we had already waited a long time for the food to be brought out. I know there is a better place in Longview so the next time I will just make that 45 minute trek to get it right. I will never return to this place, not ever. So disappointing. Burgers, chicken, Tex Mex, steaks, ice cream- a dime a dozen- authentic ethnic food- good luck folks. read more

Drinks and the spring rolls was amazing. Main course was not all what it was cracked up to be. The meat in the pho had lots of fat on it. To top it off gratuity is already added when you check out. I want to be able to hand the The waitress her tip to make sure she gets it. Not have it added for them to keep it and only give her like $5 of what was taken out at the time I paid. We will not be eaten mg there again. read more

I love this place, especially when I have pregnant! The Pho was so amazing! It was my first time eating Vietnamese food, and now it has me hooked. read more

I stopped mainly to get some pho, but ordered the veg egg rolls as well. The pho was great, the egg rolls were horrible. I asked 2 times if they were fresh and are they supposed to be so dark and crunchy and is the inside so mushy. Yes from the waiter and the checkout lady. So get the pho, and don't waste your money on the egg rolls. read more

So I called in an order, for beef curry and shrimp spring roll. The dude kept repeating back a letter and a number, idk what that is so I kept repeating back that I want beef curry. So I get there and get my food and get all the way home and needless to say it was not curry. I called back up there to see if I could get this figured out only to be greeted by a frustrated, pompous, rude, and condescending employee. Who did not care, had a not my problem attitude about it all and told me it's not his fault because he read me back a letter and a number, admitted to not knowing his menu (which to him meant that he can't do his job properly it means that it's my fault) arguing that it was even on the menu and then found it. Obviously hasn't been there for very long. read more

I recently moved away from home and had been looking for a pho spot remotely similar to my grandmas homemade pho and this is it. This is where you go for quality pho! read more

BEST VIETNAMESE FOOD IN TOWN. I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS PLACE. The staff is friendly and helpful, wanting to get to know their regulars well. Food is AMAZING. I have not had a bad meal here yet. Top three for me include Pho (duh), shaking beef, and broken rice with pork plate. It is a delight to the taste buds to eat here. They also have pretty awesome boba too! They recently went under new management but the quality of the food has remained excellent and the flavors have gone from delicious to delicious. I will always recommend Pho Hot to any visitors in town. read more

Ordered the Mongolian beef plate and for some reason the meat tasted rotten. Called server over and told her we did not want the plate after all because it tasted like it was rotten. She took plate to the cook in the back which was not pleased to have a dish returned. After that. She came back to my table and insisted the meat was fresh. I told her I did not want the dish at all and was not gonna eat it. And she looks at me and says. Well we already made it. As if we had no choice but to eat the darn thing and pay for it too. Um. NO. Just cause u say it's fresh. Don't mean it's fresh. Never going here again. Save time and money and just go to the buffet up the road. read more

The food was awesome! The service was not all that great! Our server looked very annoyed and doesn't seem like he didn't want to be there. We got our appetizer and meal out first before our drinks. I asked our server can we get our drinks and he looked angry. You can feel his negative energy. We felt like we were bothering him. Next time we are ordering Togo food only! read more

I love this place! If you're in Tyler and craving pho this is the place to go. I've done dine in and now w covid I've done to-go orders and both have been delicious! Keep up the good work Brisket Pho Bowl is the way to go! read more

Waiter with bowl cut was very rude, refused to take back incorrect order, and then had audacity to argue that we said something different. Chicken was also dry. Avoid at all costs. read more

This ramen was the best ramen I've ever had, I mean that. I had the chicken ramen and it was so smooth and savory

Customer service wasn't great. Pho was mediocre. Wish there was another option for Vietnamese food in Tyler.

Good Vietnamese sandwiches. Baguette is fresh. Grilled barbecue pork is flavored and charred well. Combination rice plate is also tasty and authentic. I am glad to have a Vietnamese restaurant to go to in Tyler. read more

I am originally from Atlanta, Georgia and there is a lot of asian food around. I honestly wasn't expecting too much, but I was in town and craving pho so I decided to give it a try. The restaurant seems very clean to me and because it was not very busy, I got to choose where I wanted to sit. The first thing I noticed was that the hoisin and siracha sauce lids were both clean, which is not always the case a pho restaurants. I ordered the summer rolls with no "chicken ham" and a medium bowl of p7 (brisket and round steak pho). The food came out very quickly and it was a good size for the prices. The only things I was a little surprised by was the lack of basil in the rolls and that the noodles in the pho were cut in half. All in all, tasted great and I will be coming back whenever I am in town! read more

Came here and got a medium brisket pho bowl decent portion of noodles. Pho was really good as well as the meat impressed for something like this in Tyler, waitress could've been a little more engaged. Overall 4/5 :-) read more

The food was honestly so great, I had gotten the fried dumplings and the orange chicken with jasmine rice. I just wasn't appreciative of how the lady handled customer service, she was a bit rude making it seem like she just wanted to pay and leave read more

I came here last weekend after picking up my son from PineCove camp. The pho is legit! The broth tasted so fresh and amazing! The staff/owners were pleasant and friendly. This will be our destination every year when we drop off and pick up my son from camp! read more

Well I won't lie. The food is great. The service is absolutely awful and so rude. I would recommend this place for Togo. But not dine in. For us it was nice enough to go once and I can find these meals at a nicer place and where customers are appreciate not dealt with like they don't have time for you. read more

Great food and service. The selection on the menu is pretty good. I had the beef pho. Very good. Next time planning on a noodle dish.

Their lemon tea is to die for! Im from out of town but just the lemon tea itself would be worth the drive! I ordered the sesame chicken and unfortunately it wasn't that great. I love sesame chicken and have tried it from various places and the one from this place is mediocre compared to the rest. I had to dip my chicken in sriracha sauce just so I could eat the chicken. However, I'm giving 4 stars because my sister got the Pho and it was really good. It was her time trying Pho and she really enjoyed it. That and the amazing lemon tea warrants 4 stars. Next time I'll just get the Pho and skip on the sesame chicken! read more

I love coming here with my mom! We both love Asian food and it's so authentic here. Our favorite is the pork potstickers!! Every time we get a new dish to try something new and we love it! The staff gives you hints at how to eat the dish or what sauce goes best and makes the experience so much more enjoyable! Highly recommend! read more

Pho was good, service was HORRIBLE. Lady was very rude overall, but food was great. Would probably not go again

Great service! The food was good and authentic, which is a little hard to find in Tyler. Tried the Pho and Vietnamese coffee, pretty good egg rolls as well. My bf who doesn't eat meat wanted a bánh mì, and they accommodated with tofu instead of their usual meat so extra points for that! read more

Wanted to try some pho at this new place and it didn't disappoint me. The service was just kind of poor and the seating areas were very tight. Their Summer Rolls are amazing though. There's one lady there that's extremely nice and gives out great vibes. I recommend if you're looking for a quick meal. read more

Real deal Pho that will not disappoint. I'm especially fond of the meatball. The fried chicken dumplings are light and crispy with a ton of flavor. read more

Came here for the grand opening and got a large bowl of pho for 1/2 off! The pho all-around tasted great and I liked the broth, too. I'm happy to see that there is a new pho place here in Tyler that tastes authentic! read more

Got the P7 order (Pho Round Eye and Brisket) with Matcha Green Tea drink when they first opened. Best Pho restaurant I have eaten from in East Texas. read more

If there were zero stars I would do zero! The menu is all wrong. The guy tells me the menu is wrong regarding the type of noodles when I'm ordering. I figure everything else is right. Nope. Whole different dish came. No veggies and egg and peanuts were in there! This was supposed to be a vegetable pad Thai dish. When I told him, reluctantly he redid it after I had to WRITE down what was on the menu that I wanted. Never came back to our table, no refills, nothing. When I go to pay....he wants to charge me half of the dish that THEY messed up!!!! Plus the full price of the correct dish!!! WTH??? I didn't even eat ANY of the 1st dish! If you have a wrong menu, don't use the menu or have a note that corrects your menu to make it right. Instead they'd rather blame the customer and treat them like crap. Never have I encountered such horrific treatment! read more

Finally got the chance to come here and eat. We eat pho every time we are in the Metroplex so I'm glad we have a place in Tyler to enjoy it. Overall, it was very decent - I had the hot and spicy which I enjoyed, and my wife had the flank and meatball. Neither would be at the top of our list for good pho, but, like I said, good to have it here. If you come in hungry, get extra noodles. read more

Yummmmm!! What a great place for Pho and eggrolls. The soup was flavorful and not too fatty like most places. I will definitely come back with the family. read more

This was my first time to try this place, and all I can say is that it is okay. The food was fresh, but the broth was a little bland and the mint and sprouts for my pho were a little wilted. I am willing to try it again, but it will be awhile. read more

I'm updating my review after the second visit. This time, I tried one of their rice dishes and although it tasted good, my main critiques are: 1) they didn't have any knives! If you're going to serve pork chops, you need to provide people knives to cut up the meat. There was not a single knife in the restaurant. 2) you get very little fish sauce (came out in a tiny bowl) 3) the plate they used should be bigger to accommodate the food on it. There's not a lot of room and you risk pushing food off your plate. Overall, the food was good. The wait was a little long for a typical Vietnamese restaurant. Service was better the second time around. Please invest in knives! Other than that, go here for pho! read more

Was absolutely garbage. Asked the waiter to bring out the spring rolls with the rest, but that certainly didn't happen. Asked the difference between pad Thai and lo mein, and was told the difference was the color. Menu was no help either, as all descriptions were identical. Like word for word, could not tell the difference. And to top it off, one of the dishes we ordered was not pho hot, it was pho ice cold. read more

Pho Hot - Cold raw noodles that came with 4 pieces of shrimp. - Vietnamese Near Me - Tyler, Texas

We went to Pho Hot for the first time tonight. I was soooo hopeful that this would be a great Pho restaurant. When we were seated our table was sticky and had not been wiped clean for us. :( The interior looked nice otherwise and I thought it was decorated really cute. I ordered steamed chicken dumplings. Omg...they were so gross. Soggy and lacked flavor...tasted like they came out of a frozen bag from the grocery store. I only ate one...even my husband could not choke down my leftovers. I ordered chicken with broccoli thinking that would be a good choice. It was just not good. The chicken had an off flavor almost like it was a bit freezer burnt or something. Many pieces of my broccoli were barely warm and the other part of the plate was scalding hot. I lost my appetite when I found a piece of fat on my plate. Needless to say I was quite disappointed in my experience tonight. The best pho place I have ever eaten at was in Frisco, Texas and I will continue to eat there when I visit. I had such high hopes for this restaurant but I will not be returning. read more

See all

Very fresh and great portion sizes. Will definitely be back to this place. Finally, a noteworthy Vietnamese Cuisine restaurant in Tyler. read more
