I live in Nampa, so it's a bit of jaunt for me to go to Boise just to get Pho but, when I get a craving for it, Pho Le is the only place I'll go. When I was in the military, I had the honor of going TDY to Viet Nam for six weeks, as part of the Joint Task Force/Full Accounting mission, to recover the remains of American MIA servicemembers; our mission successfully recovered 12 Green Berets from 5th Special Forces Group (A), killed at the Battle of Kham Duc....Wikipedia doesn't come close to describing what really happened. 12 Supermen held off 3 NVA Battalions, killing several hundred before they were all killed. It was what inspired me to join the Special Forces, but I digress. While I was in Viet Nam, I ate a lot of Pho, mainly because it was delicious and really cheap. Pho Le brings back those great memories of my time in Viet Nam, because the taste is spot on and, quite frankly, it's what I expect from Vietnamese owners. Sadly, other Pho restaurants that are also owned by native Vietnamese don't hold a candle to Pho Le. A small bowl is more than enough to fill you up...don't let the size fool you, because small it is not. The staff is incredible, friendly and willing to accommodate their customers. I have a food allergy, and they went out of their way to make sure that my Pho never came near the ingredient in question. Their iced coffee is strong enough to slap you silly and call you Sally, with just the right sweetness to make it enjoyable. The only thing I can say that is a bit of a bummer is that they have taken Banh Mi (the most awesome Vietnamese sandwich) off of the menu....something about the bread supplier being a twat waffle or douche canoe, I can't remember. Anyway, go there and have a wonderful experience. read more

They have really gone downhill since they opened, several years ago and it doesn't have to do with Covid. They took the bang mi sandwich off their menu and I can no longer get pho delivered. I ordered the chicken pho inside the restaurant and it came with a total of like 3 pieces of shredded chicken. The broth was weak. I was my favorite pho place a year ago. read more

BEST PHO SPOT IN BOISE! I have been here so many times and it never fails to be perfect. They have multiple drinks, appetizer, and pho options. The vegan pho is delightful and just as full of flavor as other pho's. My favorite drink is the jasmine tea, served in a tea pot with small tea cups making it easy to share with friends. Besides the food, the service is great. They have plenty of seating options and will arrange for groups. When I order to-go, it never takes them longer than 15-20 minutes to prepare my order. There is one server here in particular here that is AMAZING. I believe her name is Dallis, she has been there for a long time. She is very kind, checks in on us often, and always offers to put my left overs in a container. Thanks for always giving us a great experience! read more

Pho Le - vegetarian pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Boise, Idaho

I highly recommend this place when you are in the area. The soup base was very light yet tasteful and full of flavor. The place was clean and well appointed and servers were all attentive and pleasant. Please go there and check it out!!! read more

The area lacks really good Vietnamese food so I was super excited to try this. Pho was good and the amount of meat and garnishment was perfect. I also got the Beef & Shrimp vermicelli. It had amazing flavor and the combination came with cha gio (egg roll). Prices were a little higher than what you'd typically pay. Decor of restaurant is very modern and inviting. read more

Best pho in town! Their broth is so tasty. Every time I'm not feeling well, I get Pho Le to go. Their broth is healing! We've tried several pho places in Boise and even London, didn't even compare to Pho Le's! read more

I gave this place a 4 stars because of the Pho soup flavor - the price not so much a 4 stars. Here it goes: I had the Pho-Tastic (Medium size bowl): The soup color was clear and well seasoned, the amount of meats were just right and perfectly cooked. The vegies and limes were fresh - they did not go stingy on the mints, which i love. The Pho took a tad longer to arrive, which was a surprise given it was only 530pm with 4 other customers in the restaurant. The place was sleek, clean and modern - two thumbs up!! Now, let's discuss about the pricing. I paid $14 dollars for a medium size bowl. I must admit, it was one of the tasty Pho i have had, but at the same time one of the most over priced bowl of Pho I have ever paid. I travel and have eaten Pho all over the states and out side of United States at times. An average price for a LARGE bowl is between $10 and $12 dollars, tax included ($6 dollars for a super size bowl in Vegas...LOL). I think Pho Le will increase their customers' base if they lower their prices on the Pho. This place is only a few blocks away from Boise State University - college students are poor. well...at least i was when i was a student - always searching for cheap deals when comes to food...LOL. Anyhow, there you have it: Good Pho, but over priced and slow - can't imaging the wait time at lunch time. Enjoy! read more

Pho Le - Vietnamese Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Came in for a takeout order and the food bottom line was the best Pho I've had in Boise!! Not only that but the staff was super sweet and welcoming and the restaurant has a warm and cozy atmosphere, will definitely be back asap!! read more

We ate here 3 days ago. I ordered the vegetarian pho with spicy broth on request. It had serious KICK. I usually have to add more chili paste but did not have too at this place. The portion size was pretty huge. Tasty. My cousin has the beef and shrimp dish with vermicelli and she enjoyed it. I did not try it but it looked amazing. This place was so much better than Pho Nouveau in my opinion.. with ordering the same dish. Did I enjoy it enough to not try other Vietnamese in town? Not really but it was good! The waitress was so sweet! Clean place as well. read more

Interior: 5/5 very clean and classy Staff: 5/5 friendly and quick Food: 5/5 so so so delicious! I always order vegetarian pho and my boyfriend always get the beef. Let me open with saying that this is quite possibly the BEST vegetarian pho I've ever eaten! Even my boyfriend tried it and said it was fantastic and the broth had really complex flavors. It had tons of veggies too, I feel like so many of the ones I order are watered down with only one or two veggies but this was not that, it was a step above the rest! The beef pho was also great with a rich and slightly black pepper-y broth, definitely something we would order again. Overall just super impressed--absolutely not what I expected looking at it from the outside. I'm already looking forward to the next time I can eat here! read more

Best banh mi in all of Boise and the only place I have ever been that pulls off a delicious vegetable pho. My only complaint is that they can be a little stingy with the amount of basil and cilantro they give you but that is an easy fix. read more

Phó is my favorite food, and I like trying new pho restaurants. This is one of my favorites. Solid top notch Phó!

The rolls and pho are amazing. I love the sauces. Service is wonderful. They are always welcoming. That's why I return regularly. read more

Never had Pho before. A friend brought be here and I can't wait to go back! Food is awesome staff is better!

The restaurant is newly open 3 weeks ago... Really modern, nice and clean-cut decoration. The service is great, very proactive in seating us and asked what we need. Truly great experience.... One thing is that when I look on the menu and pricing, I'm rather surprised that it's much pricier than normal, but anyhow, we need to try first. We ordered our favorite Vietnamese appetizer, which is Cha Gio. It comes with 3 pieces than normally one or two. It's nicely cut and served beautifully with unique sauce (not the normal fish sauce), instead it's a mixed with pepper and soy-sauce, I think ... It is really delicious. I order their most special pho (pho-nominal) and my wife ordered grilled pork rice. The server caution us about the size/portion, so my son would only share with us. The grilled pork rice comes with grilled shrimp and the unique fish sauce. It is truly delicious, one of the best one I tried. The rice is warm made it great... The pho is delicious, especially the ribeye, it is truly tender. So the quality of the meat is great. For $15 pho, however, I'm expecting more meat, tendon, brisket and meat balls. They gave brisket, tendon, etc, but seems to be only one piece each. The pho soup is delicious, so good overall pho. If they'd consider more meat or meatball, this could be one of my top pho place. Overall great experience ! read more

Last time in Boise I did not have a good Pho experience, this is definitely a step up. That said, the broth was bland, more like a store beef stock. The portion was huge but I had to ask for more been sprouts and other condiments. Good but not great. The springs rolls were wonderful and the service was very good. I was also surprised that there were only 3 options for pho. Seems like a geographic issue. For the price the portions are great. 2 people could share the large. All considered, it is worth the visit. read more

Gas af. Made my tummy happy and tasted like sunshine and rainbows. Cat approved and Bolivian verified!

OMG so good...Summer Roll = Flavoricious. Chicken Pho = heaven in a bowl (with all the fixings: including hoisin and Siracha). Love this place Pho Sure :) read more

It's good, but not great. The Pho is overpriced and doesn't have all the spices. There is just something missing from the broth. The service was good. read more

Very pleased with my experience. I'm no Pho expert and was pleased by the waiter's explanation of the menu offerings and attentiveness. The restaurant is very clean, tidy, and friendly. I had spring/summer rolls which were very crisp and tasty, and accompanying sauce was delicious. I tried the spicy soup and was pleased with its flavor and temperature. A great experience right here in Southeast Boise. I'll be back! read more

Pho Le - Unlike Yelp's listing, they do serve beer! - Vietnamese Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Food was well prepared and tasted pretty good. Our table had pho, summer rolls, rice platter, and a noodle bowl. The noodle bowl came with an egg role which was by far the best thing ordered. Although the food was decent, it was very evident that they were a new restaurant. The service was slow and not demonstrate the best customer service. Clean place. Definitely one of the better pho places in Boise. read more

Pho Le - Don't forget about step 1! - Vietnamese Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Phó Le has a good ambience. Their restaurant is very clean and it's seat-yourself. We ordered the Cha Gio for appetizers and the Phó and the Rice Platter for the main course. The rice platter tasted decent but there was little meat so I thought it was overpriced at 10 dollars. The servings and garnishes for the Phó were small compared to other Vietnamese restaurants. The food was overall subpar but the waiting was fine and our food came out fast. It's not my cup of tea, but if want to go for the aura it's good. read more

Shockingly high prices for pho. Menu lacks pho tai (seems very odd). No soy bean milk. So I'm trying a banh mi. Pretty good. Reasonable at $6. read more

I like the effort they put in for the interior design - for a Boise restaurant that is not in the downtown area, this place has some cool modern lighting fixtures and wonderful paintings on the wall. I feel like the space may be too open and can be broken up a little bit though. As for the food, I tried the pho and summer rolls. Both were great! Their pho had a very flavorful broth. The small size is $10, which didn't fill my tummy. I would say normal adult size here would be large or extra large, which are priced at $13 and $15 respectively. Compared to other places in town, I thought it was a bit expensive. read more

The pho itself was quite good, although not among the best I've ever had. The broth was flavorful and the meat was tender. The interior of the restaurant is clean, comfortable and modern. The drawbacks are service and pricing. The night we went, about a quarter of the tables were occupied. There was only one server manning the registers, the phone, and all the tables. She was not able to juggle all of these tasks and also get our drinks and food orders in without rather lengthy delays. Also, the pricing is a bit steep for pho. I don't think I've ever paid so much for a bowl of pho, even in San Francisco or Washington, DC. I also prefer to have more options for types of meat. Here, if you want traditional beef pho, the choices relate to size of the bowl, not the types of meat. Most pho places have 6-12 different types of beef/meat options to choose from. read more

I am Asian. I eat pho all the time and I am a fat man, so you can trust me. My 12 year old's favorite food is pho. We both loved the pho here. Great broth. Very clean. Great service. Eat here. This place is good. We were passing through town on the way to Yellowstone and did not expect to come across a genuine pho place. read more

Excellent vegetarian pho. Medium was a very generous portion. Best pho ive had in Boise!!!

This is the most overpriced Vietnamese food I've ever had. Even though I'm Vietnamese, I've never been a bid pho eater. My fiance got the chicken pho in turkey broth (he doesn't eat beef), and I must say it was tasty and well done. But holy moly, overpriced. I had my go-to vermicelli dish, and it was just meh. They serve the noodles "compressed," which only made them more difficult to eat. I had to pick at them for a while to uncompress them and make them manageable. They also serve it on a plate rather than in a bowl, which makes it difficult to mix in all your veggies. The grilled meats were ok but on the dry side. Pros: Nice, clean, airy atmosphere and friendly service. Broth was good. Veggies were fresh. Nuoc mam (fish sauce) was really good. Cons: Price -- $11/13/15 for a bowl of pho is crazy town. $5 for a smaller-than-usual cafe sua da. Vermicelli (bun) is not something I'd order again there. Food took a long time to come, and a couple of parties who arrived after us were served first. The search continues in Boise's limited Vietnamese fare. So far, I'll stick with Baguette Deli. Their menu and dining space are more limited, but food and prices are better in my opinion. read more

One of the best Pho places I have been to. The chicken Pho was awesome, the egg rolls were delicious, and their peanut sauce was to die for! Will be going back soon! read more

So walking in, it's very nice, clean, and classy looking. The only have 3 options for pho, that's it, which upset me because I'm used to having about 2 dozen choices or so. I ordered just plain pho - no meat. When it arrived, the broth was definitely watered down and needed a lot more than the usual hoisin and sriracha to make it taste better. It became edible at that point - good noodles. Once the check came, it was $10 for my bowl of pho - WTF!?!?!? Which is why I can only give it 2 stars - lower your prices and have more options. I do recommend their spring rolls though - very good (but $6) Not a fan, but it's really the only pho option in the BSU area. read more

I was more than a little disappointed. The wait staff was excellent. The egg roll appetizer was lacking flavor and very dry. The pho was okay, but not great. read more

The chicken pho is just what you need when you have a cold or you're just looking for comfort food. Also Thai iced tea is bomb.

Our favorite pho place. I like the modern look & feel they have when you step in. They also have a big space which feels so roomy. I've only ordered pho pretty much everytime so I don't know what to say with their other food. Their menu choices is not a lot though, so you're kinda limited. But then again it's a pho place so what do you expect. I like that they have small, medium & large choices for the pho. You can actually order the large one & split it, unless you're too hungry coz the meat inside is not much, a lot of soup though lol. I like that chili & sauce on the side. I also like that you get to put the veggies for yourself so it doesn't get too cooked. Price is a lil steep, for just a soup I guess but if you eat at any restaurant, the rate is pretty much the same. I will still go back!!! read more

This is the 5th pho restaurant we've tried in the treasure valley and it was by far the best! The egg rolls and spring rolls were good but their pho broth was incredible. All the other local pho places seem to have a much sweeter pho broth which we aren't used to. This place was savory, salty (but not too salty), and delicious! We are SO FREAKIN EXCITED to have found this place. Husband had the vermicelli bowl with beef and pork and that was impressive too. Great flavor in the meat. Sad to have found it right before summer instead of during the colder months but despite that, we'll be back next week! read more

I like the pho. It was amazing. Broth was great. Service was great. Inside was very modern which is what I'm not use to when it comes to Vietnamese restaurants. Will come back again. read more

Amazing Pho. Fast service. I always get seated and fed fast which I love. Only thing I wish was no MSG & no canola oil.... Which are so horrible for the body... also I wish there were a couple more vegetable dishes offered :) read more

We ventured into this place late on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. The environment is gorgeous- clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated. The service was fast and friendly. The waitress explained everything to us, so we understood what they offered. We ordered the summer rolls- they were good, if a little bland, and the peanut sauce offered with them was very good. The Pho, however, was a letdown. We ordered the beef Pho-tastic. The rib eye was the only meat that was edible. The brisket was an undesirable texture, and the meatballs were the worst I've ever had. All the meat was an unpleasant gray color. Once you picked the meat out, it was ok. The broth was slightly bland, but once we added some of the garnish offered (jalapeño, bean sprouts, lime, and chili sauce) it was better. Everything had a very strong basil flavor- it was the most detectable. The price point wasn't bad. If the food were better, I'd happily return to this place. read more
