Thai Tea
Rachel C.

Ordered some Bun Bo Hue for takeout today, but a little bit disappointed in the quality of the takeout. The noodles were pretty overcooked and cut up, and there were barely any toppings. I wish it came with bean sprouts/lime/basil, like when I dined in person. Also the meat was overcooked in the broth, and was all the weird pieces that were hard to chew. Kinda sad because I love this place, but good to know that dining in is much better than ordering takeout. Will dine-in only in the future.

Beef 18. Eye Round and Tripe Beef Noodle Soup, 22. Vegetable and Tofu Noodle Soup
Melinda N.

Ordered the Eye Round & Tripe Beef Noodle Soup and the Vegetable & Tofu Noodle Soup. Pho broth didn't taste super authentic. Price was expensive given the size of the noodle soup. Service was okay. The server didn't bring us water until we asked for it. Ambiance: the restaurant had pretty artwork pieces from Vietnam.

25. Topped with Sauteed Fried Tofu and Tofu Spring Roll Bun
Margaret T.

Delicious! I was encouraged to see several vegetarian options on the menu. I chose the Bun with fried tofu and tofu spring rolls (best veggie spring rolls I've ever had). The portion size was good. It was loaded with tofu, bean sprouts, and lightly fried onions that were still crispy but did not have a strong onion taste. The sauce was yummy and not fishy-tasting like some other Vietnamese restaurants. The price was acceptable (slightly on the pricey side). Our food came out fairly quickly even though it was a busy Saturday night. My only complaint is that they charged $5.50 for a small side of extra pho noodles and did not give us an itemized bill before checking out. When I asked for one, they showed it to me. If I'm ever in the area again, I would come back.

Authentic Vietnamese owned restaurant with little dashes of what you'd see back in Vietnam. The plastic water jug to pour water into cups...The pho was great, I think $18 for a pho dat biết is standard pricing, and every bite I had had a piece of beef with it except towards the laat two bites. A lot of college students visit here, so its a very diverse crowd.

Bowl drained! Delicious broth
Terrell B.

Nice ambience. Friendly service. But most importantly, the food was delicious. It's a closely tie for number 1 in most delicious/authentic pho I've experienced. Do not miss this spot if you are a noodle monk.

Pho with chicken
Amy H.

Fun place and good food! Big portions and reasonably priced. Had Pho, thai fried rice and an appetizer. Conveniently located right next to movie theater

1. Summer Rolls
Sarah C.

The BEST Vietnamese food in town. Honestly, just as good as the Vietnamese I used to eat in Houston. Gainesville is lucky to have cuisine of this caliber. The owner, Huy, is a wonderful person and always so kind. The summer rolls are to die for. We always get the chicken pho and the shrimp noodles (bun). Never disappoints.

I grabbed an extra side of bone broth bc I was getting over the flu and I'm pregnant and it's one of my cravings. The broth wasn't super oily either, which I like! To go packaging was nice and they don't skimp on the toppings. The woman working there helped my take the rest of my order out to the car, she was so sweet (: lots of street parking, small outdoor seating area with more tables indoors. Located in a pretty walkable area!

#19 with wakame salad!!
Erich C.

Walked in on a hot day, needed some drink. be careful how much you order, because the pho has lots of water in it. Nice ambience, small, intimate the food comes out rather quickly. Everyone was helpful. They want you to enjoy the food. You can see the cooks in the kitchen, putting the heart into it. It was delicious

19. Eye Round and Meat Ball Noodle Soup
Alyssa H.

This place has been on my bucket list, and finally went in during the Art Festival in downtown Gainesville. The interior is nothing of note and quite unassuming - a large open floor layout with a bunch of tables spaced around. There are a few pictures and artworks up, but it's definitely not super eye-catching. It was packed inside when I went, and seemed like there were one and a half guys (half, because one was mostly working the check-out counter and would assist tables occasionally) working the entire full floor. It took me a few minutes to get a menu and some water, but the way the waiter was running around (literally, I saw him jogging a few times), trying to get everyone situated, it was fine that it took a few minutes longer to order. My food came out quickly and was great. Very rich broth, which is always my favorite, and the meat was nice and tender. I'm not the biggest fan of the wide rice noodles, but it was still great, just a personal preference so nothing to fault about the restaurant itself. Overall I really enjoyed it, and especially appreciated the dedication from the front of house worker. Great pho place, probably one of the better I've had in Gainesville!

Beef pho
Matt P.

This place was relatively brand new in downtown when I checked it out on a weeknight for dinner with a friend. The service was incredibly attentive, with what seemed like the owner himself frequently coming to our table to check in and ask if we needed anything. We ordered the crispy chicken wings to start and then we each got a bowl of pho. The chicken wings were so perfectly crispy with a sweet chili garlic butter sauce and crumbled peanuts over the top. My beef pho was bursting with flavor and was a good sized portion for the price. With friendly staff and delectable food, Pho House is a great new addition to downtown Gainesville.

We recently visited and were honestly really impressed. First off, a little over $1 for a soda…read morethese days is almost unheard of, so we were excited about the prices right away. My husband and I shared the dumplings and both loved them. The texture was perfect and the flavor was really good. The portions overall felt like a great size and everything tasted freshly made. I ordered the pork fried rice and really enjoyed dipping it into the house made dumpling sauce, which honestly made the meal even better. Our waitress was very pleasant, and made sure we had what we needed. The vibe inside was very quiet, cozy, and romantic, making it a really nice spot for a relaxed date night. The restaurant was also extremely clean, which we always appreciate, and there was plenty of easy parking. We'll definitely be back once they add the ramen noodles to the menu!

Ten Seconds Yunnan Rice Noodle has a lot of potential and we had a good overall experience. I…read moreoriginally went for ramen, but their ramen menu is still being developed. That said, the vegetable fried rice and dumplings were both a 5 out of 5. The dumpling dipping sauce was honestly one of the best I have ever had and really stood out. The staff was very nice and pleasant. The space is on the smaller side, which was fine since we went during a slower time. We were not able to choose our table, which would have been nice, and while you are not right on top of other people, the tables are close enough that it can be hard to have a private conversation. There were a couple things that held it back. I was served a drink that was close to eight months expired. I did not make a big deal about it and still drank it, but that is something they definitely need to stay on top of. Also, the menu said Pepsi products but only Coke was available. With better inventory checks and a more updated menu, this place could easily be a five star spot. It is just not quite there yet.

I broke my yelp hiatus just to post about this meal. This is the best grilled pork I've ever had,…read moreand as you can tell from the photo, the portion size is WELL worth the $15. Oh my god, I took a single bite and didn't speak to my friend for 15 minutes as I continued munching it down. It was amazing. The vermicelli comes underneath this mound of pork holy grail, and while I'm used to having my vermicelli with these bowls cold and a bit thinner, and there being significantly more noodles than meat ratio, I'm thrilled to say that not this bowl - this bowl was 60% pork, 30% noodle, and 10% veggie. I'm taking every bite with 2-3 pieces of pork. I'm soaking up the juices with the noodles. I'm crunching on a few cucumbers to balance it out. I'm savoring every piece. Absolutely wonderful. I'm so excited to go back and try every one of their dishes. The restaurant itself is small, located inside of a shared mini-food court place with a pasta-to-go restaurant and a boba tea shop, and has a really cute sitting area. There is a nice older lady who works the front/takes orders/delivers the food. Well worth trying to fight to find university parking just to eat here.

The portions are generous and the food is really tasty. The service was great and I absolutely adore the old Vietnamese couple who run this eatery. They do a great job making sure all their guests are satisfied and have a good experience. The owners knew a lot of the people who were coming in to eat. I found this to be a good sign of positive, constants business. The inside isn't too big, but there is seating, and it is kept clean. Ordering is simple--you can either order takeout or order at the counter and eat there. I wouldn't necessarily call this a sit-down, more of a casual eatery. The menu isn't huge, but there is surely something for everyone between entrees and appetizers. The appetizers could easily be a meal for one as well. I ended up opting for the Vietnamese Crepe which consisted of an Ulta-thin crisp rice flour crepe, filled with savory pork, shrimp, earthy herbs, bean sprouts, and crisp lettuce. I didn't know what expect as I've never indulged in Vietnamese food, but this was delightful! The crepe was super thin, with crisp edges. The inside was filled with some pork and shrimp, and ample amounts of both bean sprouts and onions. I could have done for some more meat and less of the onions specifically as they were a little overpowering. I really enjoyed the lite sauce it came with as it tied the flavors together. This was a lot more filling than I was expecting too. Overall, I was surprised and impressed with the whole experience! The food was great, but the service was even better. The prices were also unbeatable, especially concerning how much food you get. I really enjoyed eating here and most definitely will be returning to try more of their menu. A lot of people seem to enjoy the Pho, so I might need to order that next time! I will be back for sure and I would recommend to anyone in the area.

I was concerned upon parking as the restaurant does not show particularly well. It's attached to an almost empty low budget hotel and doesn't have much in the way of signage or clear widows. No matter! We were committed and went inside, and were seated in a spotless, small dining room. Sengli was our server and he did a fine job. We ordered our favorites, Thai hot for my wife and friend and mild for me. I will make the story simple. The portions were excellent, the food was all excellent and we were thrilled, with truly delicious leftovers to eat the next day!

My favorite is their red, but you can't go wrong with anything. While their food isn't spicy at all, even when ordering spicy, it's fine, because the flavors of their dishes are naturally prominent and mouthwatering. Service can be spotty depending on your waiter, but the food is always worth it to me. I've never been when it wasn't full of customers, even on random times on random weekdays, so it's nice to see Gainesville knows how delicious this place is. The interior is fine, nothing stand out, but its unique location (next to the motel) and weird parking lot definitely makes it a fun experience. I love this place, it's delicious, and definitely one of my favorites.
