Was craving banh mi sandwiches today and since my usual bang mi places were closed today, I decided to check out a new place that had received a lot of 5 * reviews for their banh mi sandwiches.. First item I tried was the fresh spring rolls with peanut sauce. The roles were great, but the peanut sauce was not what I was expecting.. it was a reddish color and didn't really taste like peanuts. But overall it was good. I was a little disappointed in the Banh Mi. I have eaten these in hundreds of restaurants around the country and for some reason these were off.. I bought the grilled chicken banh mi. The bread as others have noted was fresh, warm, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The chicken didn't seem like it was grilled and it was coated in some sauce that didn't have much flavor. And the chicken was in bigger chunks so a bite into the sandwich, you get a big piece of chicken. By the time you got to the end of the sandwich, all you tasted was the cucumber.. which was larger than most places. Overall, I wouldn't recommend the banh mi, at least not the chicken one. I will come back and try their hot stone soup which looks interesting. read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch and ordered the bánh mì, and it really hit the spot. The bread was excellent--nicely crusty on the outside while still soft inside, which made the sandwich that much better. Everything tasted fresh and well put together, making it a very satisfying meal without feeling too heavy. What really stood out, though, was the service. The employees were incredibly welcoming, gracious, and genuinely smiley from the moment I walked in. They made the experience feel relaxed and friendly, even though I was just popping in for a quick bite. Overall, great food, great vibes, and wonderful service. I'll definitely be back to try more items on the menu. read more

I was feeling a little congested so I was on the hunt for soup or something hot. So I found this Pho restaurant that used to be prince noodle. I really wanted the ramen, but the nice owner advised me that Pho was just as good. She went over the menu with me and helped me figure out what I wanted. The owner had good customer service and was very friendly!! I got the chicken Pho with jalapenos, bean sprouts, scallions, and lime. It was $22 with tax, so I was a little disappointed with the prices. The pho came so you can put it together when your ready to eat it. It has a large broth on the side. I put everything together, but it was a little bland. She had given me sriracha and hoisan sauce, and chili pepper oil to add to the soup. I guess I misunderstood the spice level because that stuff was hawtttttt, lol. It was more than regular spicy, so don't get in there trying to be big and bad unless your a spice king or queen!! Lol. But on a better note, it cleared my sinuses and I could breathe. So I highly recommend it for that purpose. I added some seasonings and kewpie and it was better. There's seating inside and plenty of parking out front. They also serve other traditional Vietnamese dishes and rice. Check them out!! read more

We came in for a business meeting lunch on a weekday... they were dead when we got there around noon. While there we found it odd that two different parties came in, the first sat down, chatted with each other a few mins, then left. The second came in, sat down and left also before dining. Don't think I've ever seen that happen in a restaurant before. Their menu is loaded with many Vietnamese options, including pho and various other soups and stir fry dishes. Service was barely acceptable, she was friendly, but definitely not attentive, nor interested in being there. One of us got the organic chicken pho and we were both very surprised to see that it came out with huge chunks of bone-in chicken, both dark and white meat - didn't look very appetizing. The Pho Tai was just ok as well, the beef was shriveled up, unlike any top round/eye steak I've had before. Overall, it was just OK, but nothing special. read more

Love pho so I was so excited to see an authentic Vietnamese restaurant. But they are more than pho with other of their signature dishes. The broth pho was rich in flavor and you really didn't have to dress it up with condiments. The staff is super friendly and can't wait to check them out again! read more

Very calming ambience and cleanliness is top tier! We were greeted immediately upon entering with smiling faces and then we were served probably the best Pho we have had in VA beach. I got a small and still left feeling full. This is the best type of meal during this weather. They will be seeing a lot of us in the future. Definitely want to come back to try the coffee!! read more

I visited Pho House on a Friday afternoon on 5/23/25. I heard about them through friends, but I paid attention to this business' address since it replaced Prince Noodle (which permanently closed nearly a year ago). Pho House looks a little different than Prince Noodle, but its optics are generally still the same. They weren't busy - there was one customer finishing up his meal when I arrived. The venue looked clean and organized, and upon entering a female employee motioned me to a small two-top and gave me a menu. Like the previous business, Pho House doesn't have a soda fountain. They offer drinks in bottles, so no free refills. As is the norm whenever I have pho, I almost always order spring rolls (with cucumbers, lettuce, vermicelli, shrimp and pork, all rolled up in rice paper). I ordered theirs and I felt Pho House's spring rolls were excellent. For my main course, I opted for the Hot Stone Pho. This piqued my interest after seeing customers post about it on IG. The Hot Stone Pho arrives at your table with the broth inside a sizzling stone bowl, and the other ingredients (noodles, rare beef, veggie) are on a separate plate. You throw in all that stuff in the broth, let it cook up a little, eat, and enjoy. I found this form of pho to be outstanding. All the ingredients were fresh and the broth was delicious and hot. I wasn't able to finish my bowl because the portion size was huge, so I had plenty of leftovers for later. Service was good, albeit quiet and reserved. The girl who sat me was also my server, but there was a man there (who looked to be the manager, maybe even owner) who also waited on me. Since both were on the quiet side, it was difficult to get comfortable, although neither were ever mean or unapproachable. I think the one aspect that may hurt Pho House are their price points. For a pho spot, they are markedly more expensive than many of the local pho spots I've visited. Their food, imo, is quality, but I don't know how they will compete when other pho spots offer similarly quality food at less expensive prices. I've read other reviews that stated as much, and some have gone as far as saying Pho House ripped them off. I'm not going to go to that extreme, but Pho House's price points do leave me thinking twice. Regardless, Pho House offers excellent pho and spring rolls in a clean establishment. Once they rock out the customer service portion, and maybe reconsider their price points, I think they'll be good to go. I hope they're around for a bit, because I feel like this is a good location with a lot of potential. JV read more

I was originally going to give this place a 5/5 especially since this was my third time coming here and I've always enjoyed it. However after my visit yesterday I have to lower my rating a bit. I usually order the Pho Dac Biet which normally comes with a variety of meats. This time though it seemed like I was shorted on some of the meat options. Even though I'm Vietnamese I don't fully understand the language but I believe I overheard the cook telling the waiter that they were out of fish balls and that he should let me know. Unfortunately, that was never mentioned to me.I didn't realize it until after I finished my pho and later looked back at an old photo of my usual order. That's when I noticed something was missing yet I was still charged full price.That part was definitely disappointing. Still this is unfortunate because this has been one of my favorite pho spots. The portion sizes are great, I always leave feeling full, and the prices are very fair. I just wish they had been more upfront about what was unavailable instead of serving an incomplete order without saying anything. read more

A new pho spot has entered the Villa (IYKYK)! I am always down to check out a new Vietnamese restaurant, especially one that offers traditional Vietnamese dishes that you can't find anywhere else: Com Ga Hai Nam, Com Ga Xoi Mo, Bun Rieu, Banh Mi Xa Xiu, just to name a few. The space itself isn't too small or large and has about 20 or so tables. It was a bit muggy inside when we went but hoping that that was just an off day. We got some fried wings to start and they were just okay - didn't have as much flavor as I would have liked. I also got the com tam dac biet - broken rice with pork chop and shredded pork skin and steamed egg meatloaf. This dish was pretty good but wished it came with a bit more rice - the biggest "con" about the dish was that instead of grilled bone in pork chop, I got grilled boneless pork instead. It was still tasty, just not normally how it's served. The wifey got bun bo hue which she said the flavor was good and it came with a blood cake (not many people have this!) but instead of a pork knuckle it came with beef brisket which was different. Overall, I think the food was pretty good, but could use a couple of adjustments here and there. The prices are a bit high but I do want to come back and try a few of their other dishes. They have sugar cane juice here and it's made from FRESH sugar cane ! We saw them pull out a huge sugar cane stick when they made my drink haha. read more

I was excited that they have Sugarcane drink, it tastes good. The three color dessert is the MOST EXPENSIVE one I've had in America, priced at literally 1.5-2x other places. The flavor was on point but the red bean was undercooked. Management got alot of issues to take care here. Their menu prices are alot higher (15-20%ish) than most others around here and the listing is confused with previous Chinese restaurant that they took over. read more

Pho House - Vietnamese Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Went here for first time since this iteration and it was decent. I had the fresh rolls they were tasty. A little less veggies than other local places. Friend got some Pho, their prices for pho are a couple dollars higher than other spots but it was a generous portion and the meat looks great. Friend said it was spicier than expected. The place is decorated well and tvs had a show about street food on. The staff was really friendly and offered condiments for flavor and heat and was knowledgeable about the menu. I dk if ill return bc i didnt find the food to be superior to similar places that are a bit cheaper. But its a solid choice and clean, good food. read more

Disappointed and Overcharged | Don't get SCAMMED. I really wanted to like this place based on all the great reviews about food quality, generous portions, and affordability. Sadly, our experience didn't reflect any of that, and I feel compelled to share why. 1. Misleading Menu & Unavailable Items We visited expecting the dishes featured in photos and reviews on Google Maps, but none of them were available. When we showed the server what we had hoped to order, he said they were no longer offered due to new management. We settled for what was on their current menu since we were already there. 2. Incorrect Pricing & Overcharging The items we ordered were listed on their own menu as $25 and $7.50, but we were charged $30 and $8.50. Even after my husband pointed this out to the staff, they still charged us the higher prices. No apology, no correction. This is misleading at best, and at worst, feels like intentional overcharging. 3. Low Quality & Poor Value We ordered the #10 Beef and Oxtail pho. What we received was one large boney oxtail and one small piece with barely any meat...both were tough and not enjoyable. The broth was just okay. For $30, the portion was small and nowhere near worth the cost. I've had far better pho at a fraction of the price. It's disappointing that they appear to be riding on old reviews and outdated pricing while delivering an inferior experience. It feels like false advertising and a lack of transparency. We still paid and even tipped 10%, despite knowing we were being overcharged, because we don't believe in stiffing servers. But this business practice is unethical and will catch up to them. Bottom line: I DO NOT recommend this place under its current management. It's just not worth it read more

I had the pho here. The broth was very flavorful. It's rich and aromatic. You can definitely taste the deep beef flavor of bones that was simmered for hours. What really stood out was the quality of the meat, especially the flank steak. It was fresh, tender, and cooked perfectly. Even their sugarcane drink (nước mía). The drink is naturally sweet from the sugarcane with no artificial taste, and it doesn't change color. Now let's talk about the banh mi.. hands down the best I've had...the bread was perfectly crunchy on the outside without being too hard, and still soft and airy inside. It held together beautifully without falling apart or being overloaded with filling. Just the right balance. If you're in Virginia Beach, this spot is a must visit. Authentic, fresh, and incredibly delicious! read more

Their pho base is pretty good, but the price is a huge turn off. I think the place would be more packed if they lower it from 19.50 to 9.99. This economy needs a restaurant that understands what consumer wants. Go with the flow, not against it. read more

Came back again knowing we would leave satisfied. Service was friendly and fast. The food was incredible. Highly recommend ordering the hot stone pho. They give you SO much meat and noodles, and your food stays hot the entire meal. Next time I come, I'll remember to take a picture before inhaling read more

Owner was friendly. Prices were high. Portions were normal, taste was not great. No depth to the beef or chicken broths. Will not be returning. read more

A bit spendy but the pho was delicious. The broth was some of the best Ive had. The chili oil they provide is really tasty. Gives good heat but doesn't negatively affect the flavor. There was something missing from the taste of the fresh spring roll. They were bland and not worth the $9. However, the sauce they provide for them was awesome. Definitely go for the pho, but skip the fresh spring roll. I will be back. read more

Come on, folks. This is not just a cookie cutter pho place. The meal we had here was outstanding. We opted for the bun bo Hue, and it did not disappoint. The broth was rich, deep, and well developed. It was spicy and rich, and served with fresh, crunchy cabbage and herbs. Our server brought out a jar of sa te that kicked it all up another notch. Yes, it's a little pricey, but very high quality. We will be back to try the pho. read more

The food was just ok, BUT the price is ridiculous. If you have lots of money to spend, feel free to go here.

The food was okay! But over price! 20$ for vietnamese pancake with a little shrimp and meat And the soups here are pricy ! Not coming back here again! read more
