Impressed with two sizes for pho, and you can't go wrong with a small (feels like a medium) Broth is what I judge the whole thing on, this one does taste authentic but different than other broths I've had. The complimentary bean sprouts and basil leaves are given in a good amount. We'll definitely come back and order other things to try. Service was fast, efficient and food was cooked properly. Nice seating area with good lighting read more

I ordered two pho to go last night. I only was given one and a half containers of broth. The pho was served in a to go box (very confused there). Broth had minimal flavor and not a lot of meatballs in the pho. I am disappointed because I used to love coming here. read more

Located near Regal Cinemas and Five Below. ( Hamilton Commons) Atlantic County... PHO LIFE - So fresh & delicious! With a dozen dining room tables --(& may I add - comfy leather booths against the wall)-the cheerful -yet sheik - "Pho Life" offers Patrons something that sets them apart from others- (Fresh, healthy, & beautifully created Vietnamese food that isint outrageously expensive for no reason. The menu prices are certainly reasonable for the quality of food you are getting. The food is consistently good, which, sadly, is almost unheard of these days. It's hard to find a restaurant you can afford regularly that you can trust to always be good. This place has not let me down yet. My rating is four stars (minus one star) because the staff uses Fabulouso in a spray bottle to clean the dining room tables. ( Just felt a bout of nausea at the sheer thought of that cleaner... I hate it ao much-The smell of that cleaner is so obnoxious and gives me an immediate migraine. Please stop using this overly fragrant chemical in a place where people have to eat-- the smell is overbearing and intrusive when you are enjoying your meal. read more

Pho Life - Menu - Vietnamese Near Me - Mays Landing, New Jersey

I was a regular at this establishment, but no more. Everyone was always so nice and never had a problem till my last visit. Not only did they mess up my order, i wanted egg noodles and my husband asked for the rice noodle. They gave my husband mine, which he didn't eat and they had nerve to charge me 5 extra dollars for the noodles!! (Every pho restaurant asks what noodles you want and no extra charge). Without advising me! I have seen the prices go up and less meat and tofu in the food. Ive been going there since a small pho was 9.95 now it's 13.95 ! All I got was" I'm sorry ",and a 60 bill for 2 soups and rolls. You just lost a good customer! read more

Absolutely Amazing First-Time Experience!This was my first time trying pho, and I went with my mom -- we were blown away! The entire experience was amazing from start to finish. The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor, but what truly made our visit unforgettable was Brandi. She was incredibly welcoming, kind, and attentive. She made us feel right at home, like we'd been coming here for years. It's rare to find such genuine hospitality, and Brandi went above and beyond to make our first visit so special. We left feeling happy, full, and already excited to come back. Highly recommend this place to anyone -- especially if it's your first time trying pho! read more

Best pho restaurant near my house. Really nice broth and meat. Really liked the place and service.

Always great food. Recommend the all the food. Very clean and nice atmosphere. Staff very friendly and attentive.

I enjoyed lunch at this restaurant. It was very good. I loved the summer rolls and had soup that was very good.

Brandi was absolutely amazing. She is very funny and personable. She took her time to explain the menu and gave great recommendations. Food was delicious. A wonderful family owned business that is definitely worth coming to. You will not be disappointed. read more

Pho Life is excellent! Compared to other Pho restaurants around, this is one has Vietnamese pate for their Bahn Mi sandwiches (in addition to the usual pork and chicken). Fresh veggies, crunchy French baguettes. My favorite sandwich! 5/5 stars. read more

Went with my friend towards closing and the food and service was great. It was my first time trying Pho and I was not disappointed.

The food was subpar at best. Being seated and receiving water was the only quick thing that happened besides paying of course. My mom and I ordered a bún bò Huế (Spicy beef noodle soup) and cơm tấm bò lúc lắc (shaking beef rice platter). The beef was semi tough and the flavor profile was definitely lacking and did not suit our palette. The bún bò Huế on the other has was somewhat decent. Mild in flavor and small hints of spice. It had an overwhelming amount of lemon grass that just made the soup not very enjoyable. Service here was ok. I did notice other tables getting more attention compared to others. My table, not being the exemption. We seen our server for a total of 3 times, 1. When we were being seated, 2. To bring out our food, 3. To give us the check. Overall, this place is good if there is no other options, but would I be here again? NO. Not worth my time and money. read more

Great food and friendly staff! You can tell the food was made with love. Definitely a must stop when you are in AC

The best pho around. Never had a bad meal here. The staff is so friendly and accommodating.

So many times I have passed Pho Life, but never stopped. I finally was in the mood and stopped in. The restaurant was packed (at lunchtime) but we were sorted quickly. The staff were all friendly and spoke very good English. The egg rolls were delicious. My deduction of two stars come because the chicken vermicelli is served with chicken thighs. The menu did not identify this, and after eating this dish at many other establishment it was always chicken breast. read more

Not the best and not the worst pho I've had but will satisfy your pho craving. Prices have gone up over the years but with the current state of the economy, it is understandable. Pho 7.1 Broken rice dish with pork chop, quiche, shredded pork, egg 7.5 read more

Have been coming here frequently for years in fact it was me and my girlfriends go to spot. Lately however we have been treated with disrespect and given attitude from the waitress. Unfortunate because the food is decent but won't be coming here anymore due to the unkind staff and atmosphere. There is no understanding or empathy for the customers at all. read more

Food: I ordered their 'customizable' pho soup and the shrimp appetizer roll. For the most part I agree with the other reviews- their food is clean and refreshing. Not the best pho I had but if I was near by, I would not mind eating here rather than driving out of my way to eat somewhere else. Cost: The price is fairly reasonable. The cost of the meal here wouldn't deter me from coming back to eat! Environment: From my initial impression, the place wasn't clean to my preference but it was cleaner than some establishments that I have eaten at. It had that homey feel to it, which I thought was a good thing! Service: The service was slacking just a little but I may have arrived at a busy time. When the waiter came to take our orders, I asked him what the most popular dish was. I am all for trying out the most popular dishes and so I gladly ordered what he recommeded! Uniqueness: This place is your regular, no frills pho restaurant. A great place to stop by and eat if you are near by but not a place to go and drive out of way to visit! read more

My first time here and the broth is amazing !! So flavorful not overly salty like some pho places and absolutely no MSG aftertaste. Some places dump a bunch of MSG into their broth and after eating I'm like drinking a whole bottle of water. But this place is legit ! Definitely get the house special pho if you love your meats. We both ordered the house special and we couldn't believe how much meat we received in both bowl. It was endless meat and tendon and tripe in our noodles which made us both happy. Definitely worth the money !! My only complaint is that they didn't have bean sprout !?! It was only afternoon and they ran out already read more

I had dinner here the other night, and was very impressed. I'm a pescatarian... that's a vegetarian who eats fish. I saw someone eating fried rice and asked the owner who seated us if she would make me one with shrimp. She was extremely accommodating by making me a shrimp fried rice. When I tell you the flavor knocked my socks off you should believe it. It was that good. And speaking of the owner, she's a cheerful pleasant woman with a 50 watt mega smile and treats everyone as though she's known them for years. If you haven't tried this restaurant, run don't walk. You will not be sorry. I expect this restaurant to be around for a long time. read more

My girlfriend and I loved coming here and we are frequent customers but lately we feel like we have been treated with an attitude and disrespect. We dine in and order take out. Today we ordered take out and asked for extra culantro on the side. When we came in to pick up our food the waitress and the man at the register were very rude and telling us it doesn't come with our food we have to ask for it and usually they charge extra. I explained I knew that and that's why when I ordered I asked for it on the side. The owner always gives it to us on the side for free weather we dine in or out. I don't know why we were treated like this and it makes us not want to come here anymore. Whenever we tried to speak up and say we did ask for it as extra the waitress kept interrupting and talking to us in a snooty matter. When we walked away we could tell they were talking about us. We felt completely disregarded and unheard. I don't know what has changed but they are not like they used to be anymore. We used to love coming here but now I don't think we will be anymore due to rude staff. Will be taking our business elsewhere to the pho resturaunt in EHT. read more

The food was decent but I wouldn't be retuning again because of one of the waitress. This place is not kid friendly at all. I have smaller children, 2 and 4 year old. Usually restaurants are extra helpful when a solo mom dines in, however She made it very clear from the beginning that she's annoyed with my kids, she came over several times to pick up the crumpled disposable place mats and paper straw cover, she was putting out a very passive aggressive vibe, but she was friendly towards other customers. She was refilling spoons in empty tables and she made sure to refill the spoons on my table while I was still eating but not other tables that had customers. So I finally took my last bite and rushed up to go and pay at the counter with a different employee and grab take out boxes rather than waving her down for a check and box. While I was paying at the register she reprimanded my kids which was really upsetting. I usually don't like saying negative things about other Asian businesses and I try to support any local Asian business but she really went out of her way to make sure we were uncomfortable. read more

Second attempt at ordering rainbow drink. After paying 18$ for 2, it was 95%milk, 2% ice & 2% beans. Absolutely disgusting. After addressing with the waitress she got loud instead of listening, sent me away with something to throw in the garbage. Will never return. Asian market in Pville is THE BEST & inexpensive read more

Very unclean. Had a male server who had his fingers in my bowl as he's served the dishes. Additionally found dark black colored hair in my food. They messed up our order atleast twice. They raised the prices and lowered the amount of food they give you. Really went down hill read more

This is my FAVORITE Pho spot in Atlantic County NJ specifically because they have SHORT RIB PHO AND IT IS BOMB ! They grill the short rib separately and it is beyond flavorful with just the precise amount of char and they then serve it alongside a piping hot bowl of pho ! Their pho broth is some of the richest and most delish I've ever had and I eat a LOT of pho! The char grilled chicken summer rolls are also super fresh and yummy! It's my total go to meal whenever I come here and it's served with hot green tea ! I promise you won't be disappointed if you pop in for a bite! read more

Pho Life! Love the name of this place and it happens to be my favorite place in the area to get pho! I love coming here w/ my iPad, get on the wifi and enjoy some yummy food! I ate their delicious grilled shrimp summer rolls (which is tha bomb dot com) chicken pho, w/ Thai bubble tea. The soup is so fresh and tasty! I don't normally add anything in mines because the broth is that good! Mmmmm!!! Love it! The Thai tea is good as well. I believe everything came up to be $20. Depending on the time of day you go in...it might be a few people or a lot of people. When I came in yesterday on a Friday afternoon it was super packed! The younger servers that work there are usually very great at multitasking with the tables and they help one another out. Which I could appreciate. #teamwork The vibe at Pho Life is cool! I come in, dine alone and I am always comfortable. Came in today, (don't judge me lol) to pick up the shrimp rolls to go and I believe the owner remembers me from yesterday. She apologized for the wait that I endured and I told her it was totally understandable! No biggie! read more

Amazing little hole in the wall Pho spot here in May's Landing, NJ. I had the egg rolls and a Shredded Pork and Pork Skin Bahn Mi, with a fresh Limeade. The fresh Limeade was extremely sweet. If over the top sweet isn't your thing, I would ask for a little reprieve on the sweetener. The egg rolls were excellent. Extremely crispy, incredible flavor and fresh with plenty of pork and vegetables inside. The Bahn Mi Bi was overall very good. The bread offered just the right amount of crunch and was lightly toasted. The shredded pork had great flavor and almost crumbled upon eating. The Pork Skin was more of an afterthought since there wasn't much, but I was more than ok with that since it wasn't my favorite. One strange note about the dining room: the same song seemingly played over and over on loop the entire time we were there. We actually didn't notice a different song ever coming on. But hey, if lack of musical variety is the biggest concern, you are in store for a GREAT Vietnamese meal! read more

Came here on Sunday around lunch time for the first time. Me and my group of friends were craving for pho and decided to try this place out. When we arrived, the place was pretty empty, but after we sat, the place packed up pretty quickly. So I guess we got lucky and came at the right time! First off, I thought this place was pretty cool, because instead of having a bunch of preset pho bowls on the menu like every pho place does, they let you choose 3 kinds of proteins to add to your pho. I prefer this way, because it's more efficient; I can choose off the bat the kinds of proteins I like in my pho, instead of reading through 20 different presets and picking out one that I like. We ordered the fresh rice paper roll with grilled shrimp & rice noodles (Tom Nuong Cuon) for appetizers. It came with the usual peanut sauce to dip into and it was delicious. I ordered the smaller-sized pho bowl with fatty brisket, tendon, and flank. It came with the usual veggie platter to add into your pho. The flavor of the broth was very solid, flavorful and delicious. The noodles were cooked to perfection, wasn't overcooked at all. The portion was very generous, I was very satisfied and stuffed after finishing the bowl. My friend who ordered the spicy beef rice noodle soup (Bun Bo Hue) said it was really good too. I tried the broth for the bun bo hue and wow, it was packed with flavor. I highly recommend getting this if you want to try something else other than pho. Overall, my experience was excellent. The food was awesome, friendly service, and a clean place. Definitely recommend coming here if your looking for a scrumptious and soupy bowl of pho! read more
