When I say this is the most surprised I've been in a hot minute, this isn't hyperbole. We got a bowl or pho, along with some spring rolls and a Bahn mi sandwich. Server was very nice, although he had his hands full basically running the entire dining room. Considering there were probably eight tables all filled, containing 15 people or so... his accuracy and speed were actually pretty impressive. Only small hiccup was he forgot the Diet Coke's we had ordered. But all things considered, that's not bad at all. Spring rolls Fresh, crispy, plenty of veggies bursting from the seams. Served hot, but not so hot it melted your mouth. Came with a seeet and savory dipping sauce. After crushing them, I was sad I didn't get a second order. We're off to a *very* good start. Pho 1/2 Traditional Vietnamese pho. Salty. Spicy. Umami. Fresh veggies blanched to perfection. Quality noodles and broth. Very generous portion size. Perfect warm and savory dish for a chilly Ohio evening. Would 100% get again. Bahn Mi Absolute star of the show. First, the baguette tasted like it just got off a plane from a Parisian bakery. Buttery, soft, pillowy inside, with a firm, crunchy outer shell. Slight hint of salt and sweet. It came filled with a delectable grilled pork. Not the cheap kind you find in most Asian dishes as filler. This was quality stuff. Perfect balance of salty and savory. Also came with fresh cucumbers, shaved carrots, daikon, and leafy cilantro complimenting the pork. I often use a "how many minutes would you drive out of your way to come back to this place" scale. For Pho LV, I gave it a "30 minutes" rating. Which is absurd. It's the second highest rating I've ever given a place. Unfortunately I live about an hour and 15 minute away in Stark County, so I won't be here often. However, if I am anywhere near this place again, I am 100% stopping back in and satisfying that craving. Cause oh Lordy was it worth it.

Spring rolls were decent, was worried from previous review the sauce was watered down. But it was standard sauce, just like any pho spot. The rice wrapper wasn't too dried out either. The pho was passable. Not much to the broth it was bland but it wasn't like a 72 hr stock. Meatballs were pre-sliced, not something I'm use. They don't do rare flank steak so it was cooked well done and needed some chewing. Had a few slivers of tripe I think. Lots of onion and green onions. The veg that came with it was a bit sad looking. Looked like they were prepared ahead of time and sitting for convenience. Works to satisfy my pho craving but will be exploring other pho spots

I particularly like the oxtail pho, but it is a little pricey. The broth is very flavorful, and their meat and noodles are perfectly cooked every time. Service is really fast, as well; they often ask you if you're ready to order a few minutes after you're seated, and the food comes out quickly.

I was in the area at the Lorain Library (main branch), and was craving a cozy meal. Pho Ever had a catchy name and was only a few minutes away (drive). What's more cozy than pho? I made a quick and good decision to visit. AMBIANCE: The restaurant is one open space simple cultural decor. The space well fits groups and single guests. Multiple comfy booths are available along one of the walls and there are plenty of tables. Decor includes Nón Lá (Vietnamese conical hats) around the perimeter of the restaurant, vases and flowers, wood carved rooster art, prosperity wall hanging with laughing Buddhas, and other decor typical of Asian restaurants. There is also a blue sky ceiling fragment. The atmosphere is very simple and casual. The restaurant is not the cleanest. That includes the floor, the bathrooms, the tables, and teapots. Everything could use a deep clean. FOOD/DRINKS: The menu features appetizers, rice plates, vermicelli stir-fry, pho, fried rice, ramen noodles, combination plates, and optional add-ons. Drinks were not on the menu. There are few pictures of the menu items to point you in the right direction. Each dish has alphanumeric value for simple ordering. I noticed that the prices are pretty value-oriented less than many other comparable restaurants. I ordered my default Vietnamese restaurant order - pho, rolls, and hot tea. More specifically, A3 (2 charbroiled pork rolls, $5), A4 (charbroiled chicken rolls, $5), P3 (pho with eye round steak and well-done brisket, $14), and jasmine tea ($2 for a tea pot). Rolls had a generous amount of meat. I loved pork rolls, but didn't like the chicken. I found it to be too dry. I did not use the accompanying sauces since spice is not my favorite. Pho included a large portion, plenty of meat, but the broth had some slightly lemony undertone that wasn't my favorite. Jasmine tea was perfectly hot and light. It was a very comforting meal due to hot tea and hot pho. I also loved that the food was delivered with a pouch with chopsticks, fork, spoon, and big spoon for pho. SERVICE: The service was very pleasant, quick, and accommodating. There was one waiter serving quickly filling dining room. He was excellent and very attentive! I was seated very quickly. My food impressively arrived within minutes. All other guests had all their questions answered with patience. Huge compliments on the service! The restaurant was extremely accommodating to groups. They expeditiously moved tables together for large dinner groups. I was at the restaurant before 6 PM and the restaurant was already almost full with more people pulling into the parking lot. It seems like it's a popular local destination. PARKING: There is plenty of parking available to customers. Dedicated parking lot rather than shared plaza arrangement. My experience was pretty positive. I was especially impressed with the excellent service. It wasn't the best Vietnamese food that I experienced, but pretty good for a casual Sunday meal. While I wouldn't go out of my way to travel here, I'd definitely stop in while in the area.
