5 stars as always! i love this place, its super quiet which i personally enjoy. the restaurant is beautiful, wonderful ambient lighting, and the booths are so cushion-y which is fantastic. ive been coming here for about 2 years now, and the food is consistent everytime i go. the waitress (which is normally who i see) is very sweet, checking in making sure we have everything we need when needed. their pho is delicious!! the portions are HUGE so keep that in mind, they have sriracha & hoisin sauce on deck if that's your thing. every pho comes with a plate of cilantro, lime, jalapeños, cabbage, bean sprouts & thai basil! if you're in the boise area, check it out! read more

Pho Le - 'spicy noodle soup' is the one in the back - Vietnamese Near Me - Boise, Idaho

See all

Pho Le in Boise is a solid spot if you're craving Vietnamese food. The pho had a flavorful broth and the portion size was generous. You can choose the size . The noodles were cooked well and the fresh herbs on the side made the bowl even better. The ingredients tasted fresh and everything came out hot and satisfying. The broth is not as good as I have had before. The restaurant has a casual and comfortable atmosphere, very clean that making it a good place for a quick meal. Service was nice and quick Overall a very good experience. I'd definitely come back again when I'm in the mood for a nice bowl of pho. That close to downtown Boise read more

I want to like this place but I just can't believe how skimpy the meat portions are. I ordered a medium pho and my jaw dropped when I saw how little meat was in my bowl. Not to mention that they cut their meatballs in thin slices, so they're not even giving you a whole meatball! the steak and brisket was sliced into the smalllest shreds I had ever seen in my life. Literally ate all of the meat in a few bites and just had a big bowl of noodles left. Also, the cha gio was good but again, so tiny. Didn't even come with lettuce wraps or pickled veggies on the side like they traditionally do. read more

I was in the area by the Co op so I was planning on having pho there. Come to find out they didn't open till 6. We didn't want to wait an hour so we headed to another pho joint. Unfortunately they were closed so Pho Le it was. They were poppin tonight. Winter and pho is always the perfect combination. Servers were busy handling to go orders and dining customers. I was greeted and was told to pick a table. My server came, dropped off my utensils and menu. I ordered the cha gio today. I wasn't going to make the same mistake as my last visit and order the large bowl. I ordered the medium chicken pho. The cha gio came out hot! They were crispy and flavorful! To be honest, the filling to wrapper ratio was off and they were pretty small. You also got 1 piece of lettuce for your egg rolls. They were decent but not for the price of 7 bucks. My pho looked beautiful. The broth was clean and clear. There were nice pieces of chicken and a good amount of noodles. I just wish the broth was a little hotter. It was hot like it's been sitting on a flame but not pipping how like they boiled it before they poured it into my bowl. Overall, service was good and food was decent. I'm pretty sure I'll be back and have another bowl of pho. read more

Wow service was fast though we were 3ish in arriving. I loved that the beef Pho came in various sizes and even offered a spicy broth for a slight up charge. Inside was clean throughout and if you want a high quality food offering without going through a tone of pages visit this location on Broadway. Our group of 5 were fed well, no one left hungry. The Thai Ice tea tasty on this warm day. It was my first visit, I will visit again when I'm back in Boise. read more

Weather is turning and a bowl of their bun Bo hue sounded amazing. Only problem I had was that I had simply asked to substitute the brisket and sliced pork sausage for their rare steak in my soup. I've never had an issue at any Vietnamese restaurant before asking for this and I ended up being charged $5 for subbing different protein. This is kind of like asking for ham instead of turkey at a sandwich shop. I can't believe it ended up being a $20 bowl of soup! Either way it was good, but there are other options with better customer service. $5 upcharge to just switch proteins just doesn't sit right with me. read more

If more than you order pho - you don't get your own plate of sprouts or garnishments. They charge you $2 extra even tho they say it is suppose to be free and come with the meal. Also, pho just has meatballs and steak. If you want additional items like tendon you pay extra. My large pho, as pictured, cost me $21 Pho didn't even taste like legit pho across the street. Do not go here. This is not authentic and owners seem more focused on charging for upgrades that should come normally at every other phot restaurant than actually providing an enjoyable dining experience. Avoid at all costs. read more

I like their beef pho. Some of my family members prefer the chicken. Sometimes we eat there and sometimes we bring it home. Good prices and service. read more

This is one of our favorite spots for lunch or dinner. Came for a low key date night and everything was great. Service was quick and attentive and the speed with which our food came out was extremely impressive. We got 2 orders of the cha gios, and two of the shrimp, pork and beef platters as well as a hot green tea and diet cokes. It was a ton of food, enough for me to have lunch tomorrow and our total was $57. Flavors are always spot on and the meat was not dry at all. It seems like they haven't quite hit the radar for being a "hot spot for date nights" and I'm not sure why, but selfishly I'm glad it's always easy for us to walk in and sit right down at an empty table. Although I do hope more people find out about Pho Le, their Pho is delicious too!! Highly recommend. read more

Great authentic and tasty pho! Easy going staff. Good ambiance. Definitely recommend if you're trying to get over a cold / flu read more

Went in because I wanted to give these people a second chance. I ordered a large pho and knowing that it was a big bowl, I asked for extra limes. When the waiter brought it out, he only gave me one lime for a giant bowl. I asked what happened with the extra lime and he said that the kitchen was in charge of cutting limes and that they hadn't cut anymore and that they were out of limes. Yet people kept ordering pho and getting limes with it. I wasn't even given refills of water or anything. Don't waste your money and go somewhere else where the service will be better. read more

Delicious!! Yummy! This is the best Pho I have ever had. The restaurant is nice welcoming and very clean. My waitress was very helpful in what I wanted to order. And my meal was excellent. With a beer and side dish. Price under $18. Amazing. I'll be back. read more

New in town. Decided to try Pho Le. I ordered 3 items for pickup. Beef pho (medium) soup did not have a lot of authentic pho flavor. Very little beef. Chicken pho soup had good flavor but chicken was very dry. Third item ordered was beef and shrimp bowl. Beef tasted very good. The 2 shrimp were good. Prices were higher for what was ordered. I will not return. read more

My kids and I enjoy Pho Le quite a bit, it's our regular go to spot. Our favorite is the beef Pho with the optional meats. It's unanimous between the three of us that they have the best beef Pho we've ever had. Everyone in the restaurant is nice, we love going here! read more

I come to pho le frequently at least a couple times a month and everytime I get the best service from the staff and especially Robert! The food is so delicious everytime and I highly recommend it! The vermicelli is one of my favorites but also they turned me onto pho as well it's an extremely tasty menu all around! Thank you pho le! read more

Pho Le - Grilled Pork, Beef and Shrimp with Fine Vermicelli - Vietnamese Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Ordered large Pho, with tendon and extra meat. Broth was delicious, noodles were the texture I liked, everything was amazing. Meat was tender and the tendon cooked perfectly. I enjoyed it so much I got the same thing again the next day. Only complaint was that the meat portions are on the smaller side, still 5 stars for me. read more

Food was overall good. would I come again? Probably not. Egg rolls were small and a bit dry. Pho was good but was missing the 5 star "wow" factor. Service & restaurant were great. read more

Good food but for some reason I can't order a hot Vietnamese coffee. They make it fresh in the back but the owner won't let the servers serve it hot. Because of this three stars. Allow servers to serve it hot as most Vietnamese restaurants do and I'll change this to five stars. I've updated my review because the server serves it correctly. read more

Best pho in town!!! The service is always amazing and I could eat the food everyday if I could.

It was okay. The broth was definitely on the salty side and not very sweet. I'd give it a 3.5 so rounded up to a 4. The server was alone during lunch time and was hustling. She still did a great job given it was a one person show. There is a large eating area here which was nice and spread out. They had small/medium/large options here which typically you see small or large. Not sure what the difference is in quantity. I opted for the medium and it was sufficient, if you are really my hungry I'd opt for the large. I've been looking for the very best pho in the TV. This isn't it but it'll fix your craving. read more

My husband and I absolutely love this place! We usually get the pho medium and load it with Siracha, chili oil, basil, lime and bean sprouts. ITS INCREDIBLE. It's a regular craving for me. Also the summer roles are insanely delicious. We highly recommend this place to all our friends and family. Already want to go back! read more

Spicy noodle soup so good and also the spring rolls. Very chill atmosphere. Service great!

First time trying it because we were craving for pho. The menu is small not a lot of choices. Pho was good but needs to adda little bit of meat on their servings. read more

Pho Le - Summer Rolls - Vietnamese Near Me - Boise, Idaho

I've been going to Pho Le for a couple years now and I always find myself ordering the same "pho-large" bowl every time (mostly out of habit), and I am never disappointed with it! I usually choose the option to also add tendon and well done flank to add variety to the meat in my bowl. You also get a heaping bowl of bean sprouts, Thai basil, cilantro, and jalapeños which you can request more of! :) Usually I start off dinner with their "summer rolls" and "egg rolls" which are a must! Recently I tried their 'spicy noodle soup' and found that it the right amount of spice (for some) and broth that was rich in flavor, similar to the rich pho broth, but with spiciness and thicker noodles - now I'm hooked. Let's also not forget their iced Thai teas, and strong, iced Vietnamese coffees served with milk which are my favorite to take out! Pho Le is kept super clean, the staff are friendly, and the atmosphere is very pleasant! Definitely would recommend them. Thanks a bunch, Pho Le! :) read more

Delicious! Ally delivered great service! I'm not much of a Pho person and my daughter insisted we go here because she had been to Pho Le before, she said it was the best! I live in kuna she lives in meridian. Worth the drive to east Boise. I had the grilled platter and my daughter had medium Pho with extra lime and chili sauce. I recommend both choices! read more

A delayed review - but I'm currently writing this as my partner and I are battling food poisoning from food we picked up here within the past two hours. About an hour after eating, we both got extremely sick at the same time, after eating the same meal to-go. We called to let them know, as we were informed they make their broths in large batches and we wanted to ensure the kitchen knew so they could prevent others from getting sick. Instead of asking what we ordered or any details, they said we couldn't have gotten sick from their food as it takes over 24 hours to show symptoms of food poisoning (which isn't true - it takes various times but can start after 1-2 hours). They said they've never had anyone get sick from their food and there was nothing they could do from stopping others from getting sick. It was that response that motivated me to write this- because if multiple people got sick when the only common factor is one particular dish, and they're still currently serving it to guests while on the phone to us - that was concerning. They're actively doing nothing to prevent others from getting sick from something incorrect with their food. I appreciate that they have vegetarian and vegan options, so I'm still giving them 3 stars. I've been here multiple times as well and have never had this issue either, so it's definitely a unique situation. That said, as someone who has never had food poisoning before and who would never wish food poisoning on someone else - their food handling in this situation concerns me. read more

Service was solid. She knows her regulars and gets the food moving. I appreciate that at lunchtime. The issue is the kitchen, because they were not trying their best. The bowl of soup had tiny pieces of meat and for extra charge you get to taste a single piece of tendon. I don't have a lot to compare it to in Boise but I will say with a little effort you could make a nice bowl of soup. This was not trying. BTW, the fried egg rolls were barely warm and the recipe is questionable and please just put a fresh bottle of hoisin on the table because the watered down squeeze bottle was not it. read more

[covidtime - quite a few visits] Upgrading my review to five stars. Even during covid, their service has been fantastic, the pho great, and the overall atmosphere relaxing during this stressful time. Congrats. read more

BEST PHO IVE EVER HAD! amazing customer service, the vibes are so good, amazing music played just loud enough to hear but not overpower the convo, big variety of seating per your preference, everyone was so sweet and helpful, the food was out super fast and was SOOO DELICIOUS. read more

I've been here three times right when it opened to a few years later to about 3 years later now. It hasn't improved since opening and I am a bit bummed by that since it is near my house. The Pho broth has the subtle pho taste when you first taste it but it disappears quickly as if it is lacking the authentic prep seasoning. It is still missing the savory, flavorful factor and it wasn't as fulfilling to eat from other Pho I've tried. The beef and noodles were good though and cooked properly. My family got the rice dishes (com tam) however, the grilled meats were dry and could've been seasoned more. The price was pretty high for the quality that was provided in my opinion. I feel like they have potential if they could improve on some parts of their dishes. Pros-the inside of the restaurant is warm, nice and pretty. Atmosphere makes it comfortable if you are going by yourself or with others! read more

I travel for work and have Pho all over North America but tonight I found one of the best chicken Pho I ever had in Boise , That's amazing.

Broth is good like any other place but if you order online they will scam you in portions

Growing up eating pho, I'll say I'm a bit of a pho snob and this place is one of the only pho places I'll eat in Boise. The chicken pho is absolutely amazing and their egg rolls are to die for. Prices are a little higher than some other pho places I've been to but it's worth it if you're a big fan of pho. Service here is always lovely, staff is always kind and there is one man in particular who works here who is just amazing. He's made my dining experiences here great! Would highly recommend the pho ga and the egg rolls! read more

While I normally review a place after a few visits, I am unable to come back here after my experience, so I will review on just that. The young girl that was serving was pleasant and welcoming and told me to sit where I wanted. Water was brought shortly after sitting and my order taken pretty quickly after that. Chicken Pho is not on the menu but she said I was able to order that. So I did. After a bit of a wait (not too horrible) my chicken Pho was brought to the table. After being so excited to try this place I was quickly brought back to reality. "What is that?" As I look into my bowl of Pho there were.... things that weren't chicken and clearly were not edible. I spent about 5 minutes fishing large strings of beef fat, short fat chunks of beef fat, and little worm looking pieces of fat. (See picture). I pulled about probably a 1/4 pound of beef fat from my soup and not healthy looking beef fat (you can often tell quality meat from the bad quality and this was a lower quality.) I sit there in disgust for about 5 minutes pondering what I was going to say to the server. 5 minutes after that I still sit. "Should I leave?" I thought. I was starving and half my lunch hour was over already so I picked through the soup trying to not think about what I just fished out. Finally the young lady comes over and I said, I wanted you to know that I fished out that (pointing to the mountain of fat) out of my soup. She said, "oh sorry, do you want more meat?" I of course said no, secretly hoping she would charge me only for a veg Pho since mine didn't have real meat in it. She walks away and am still pondering walking out when the girl walks by the gentleman sitting next to me and says, looking at his fork and what was on it, "Oops, looks like you got a tendon, sorry about that." Check please. While the environment seems nice, and the server was kind, I can't come back here. I paid $14.00 for a bowl of fat, noodles, and broth. I am still gagged out a week later after this experience. I always give people the benefit of the doubt but I just think I can't here. I will update my review if I go back and order veggie everything. read more
