In my experience, the best pho places always have the bowls at your table in 5 minutes or less. As the minutes ticked by, I was growing more and more concerned, but was gladly proven wrong when I took my first sip of the hot and rich broth. It was savory, flavorful, and such a great way to start a rainy day. They ran out of tendon so gave me extra rare beef instead. I love getting it on the side, squeezing lime juice on it, and then dipping it into my broth as I eat. Some like drizzling Sriracha on the beef too, so if that's your jam, definitely try it out for extra tender beef. My brisket was on the dry side but the portion was a healthy size. The bowl was on the smaller side for $19 but it was the perfect size for me bc I left stuffed. read more

The chicken wings and dumplings were crunchy and flavorful, and pho was to die for! The only thing I'd change is the strong apple flavor in the broth. I realize that is how it's made traditionally, but it took away from the meat and savory flavors. The staff was friendly, attentive and the food came out relatively fast for how busy it was. My favorite thing that stuck out to me was the lighting and coziness inside the seating area. It felt intimate and quiet. Will be back again! :) read more

paid $50 for the oxtail pho with tendon and a pho tai bo vien and a coke. Serving size was small compared to the price when comparing to other restaurants i've been to. Quality was okay and service got me what i needed but wasn't asked if we needed anything else like refills or another drink. We waited 30 minutes for our food. Probably won't be coming back since it's not the BEST location and the food was subpar. Will continue our search for a good vietnamese restaurant... read more

I love the pho here and I used to like the eggrolls, not sure when they changed their traditional Vietnamese eggroll recipe to all cabbage and carrots but I won't be getting those again. I am Vietnamese so I know the difference. Such a shame because a lot of these Vietnamese restaurants are starting to change their recipe. Pho is good tho. read more

Pho Long - "Vietnamese" eggroll but its more like Chinese fast food takeout - Vietnamese Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

The slowest service you'll ever experience. Water takes 15mins. Condiments shortly after. The Pho itself - 1hr. Your VN coffee another hour. These things do not take forever unless you brand yourself as a start from scratch cooking. Once a favorite spot, now the vibe is just dead. They also do not do the Vietnamese coffee setup like before. So..expect a low quality service mix with unfriendliness. Price increase on your P8, P9, P12 in a smaller bowl too. I don't know anymore about this place. This used to be our monthly hit but sadly, not anymore. read more

Easy parking lot close to the restaurant. As soon as I walked in, I noticed plenty of indoor seating. The bathroom was clean and ambiance is good. My boyfriend and I ordered the following and this was my rating on each: - Spring Rolls: 3/5 - Chicken Dumpling Soup: 5/5 - Pho with Brisket: 4/5 - Rice Platter: 4/5 The service was fast, but we were also the only ones at the restaurant at the time. Our server was very kind and checked on us frequently. read more

The food was outstanding! We had pho with three types of meat. On a cold night, it was everything to make one feel cozy. Flavorful, healthy, and plentiful. The ambiance is sort of shaggy but it looks like they have plans for upgrading. The owner came over and was kind and gracious offering delivery if needed. No wine though.... read more

The veggie pho is the dish of choice every time I visit! I love the veggie meat and tofu in it along with the vegetables. Quite a few tables were left not clean when choosing a place to sit, but it was not busy. There is a parking lot on the side of the building, so no problems there! read more

The pho here is fine, not mind-blowingly good or anything but will satisfy a craving. But I feel this way about most of the pho I find around STL. I struggled to find any information about Pho Long's menu or hours online for the UCity location. It's $17.99 for a bowl of pho dac biet, $14.99 for one of the more basic bowls. Two spring rolls (goi cuon) will set you back $7.99, which pains me to write. I don't know if the drastic increase in prices is due to inflation, the costco development, the new location's rent, or all of these factors... Service was very bare-bones. I wanted to take pictures of the menu for Yelp, but the server took them away very quickly. Pho broth came out hot. You get all the standard garnishes. The interior is spacious, not a lot of decorations. Chopsticks are the disposable kind. read more

Pho Long - Pho Dac Biet ($17.99) - Vietnamese Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

I came to see if the food was still as good as before they moved just down the street. Arrived around lunch time and there was very few people inside. You can sit anywhere you want and menu and water will be brought out to your table. Ordered Pho and it was no where close to impress me. The prices have gone up a lot and I personally feel like the quality isn't matching to the price at all. Portions are small and the Pho brought was just average. The parking lot isn't great if you have a big vehicle. I do like the decorations now better but they have a long way to go if they want to attract more customers. read more

Went there for a team lunch. It has ample seating. One thing we noticed is the server is not very conversational. Not sure whether that's a cultural thing or he really hates his job. . We ordered fried chicken dumplings and the special pho in beef broth. Nothing to complain other than the price and I'm not sure whether that's because of Costco and rent. One thing I noticed is they have chicken soup noodles (chicken broth ) an alternative to beef broth which is not common in most of the Vietnamese restaurants. Will come back as a team or if I've a craving for pho. read more

Food was hot and fresh. The Restaurant was clean. The pho had pretty good flavor. This was my 1st time here and I would try it again.

Always a great meal from Pho Long. They have all the standard pho soups plus rice dishes and appetizers. The Olivette location is easy to get to with plenty of parking and a nice clean dining area. Takeout is ready in a timely manner. read more

I got the chicken pho to-go and I always hesitant to get pho to-go but it was just as good!! I truly do enjoy the broth at Pho Long. Quick n friendly service and there is plenty of seating. I'll deff be back for my Pho fix! read more

i traveled 20 minutes from the STL airport via Uber to eat here, and being disabled I also travel with my fully trained service dog. I was "greeted"?by the manager who told me I couldn't eat there with my service animal. I calmly told him it's against Missouri statute to deny me service because I require a service animal. He still refused. Their prices were so high, I was better off going elsewhere anyhow. People with service animals avoid this "restaurant" to avoid embarrassment. so long, pho long! read more

I love the pho here not sure if it will trump the awful service ! Not sure why a single dinner can not sit at the bar for lunch why does it matter where u sit. Not sure if server was just not interested in working got my order wrong. Took forever to process payment ignored me had to get up and ask for my order to be made correct or even Place my order almost felt discriminated against definitely could care less about my business. Won't be back and I've been going there for 8 years first time to new location. Think the server rather be anywhere then there. Felt very unwelcome . Why lemons w pho instead of limes ? Lines must be expensive, noticeable changes , onions in the pho too . Not the same as the old location read more

Been awhile but it was great as always. The eggrolls were the best we have had, and the pho soup was out of this world good. I got the beef and brisket soup and my wife got the beef dry noodle bowl with sweet sauce. It was the best we have had in the city. If you are looking for great Vietnamese cuisine, then Pho Long is the place. read more

We drove from St. Charles to try Pho Long, and was pleasantly surprised! Everyone was friendly and helpful. They have a wide variety on the menu. My husband did not want Pho so he ordered the Hu Tieu Xao Men Do Bien, which is a seafood stir fry, he really enjoyed it. I ordered the Pho Tai Chin, with sliced eye of round beef and beef brisket. The flavors were popping and very savory, only downfall-not much of the meat, could have had more. We enjoyed the fried tofu with the mouth watering peanut sauce, I could have eaten along. The shrimp eggrolls were delicious also. I highly recommend this place for your go-to pho. Oh, we ordered take out and everything was packed with what we needed, which is a plus. read more

Hole in the wall spot with limited seating and fantastic pho. The pho are huge and have lots of meat in them. I ate my whole pho, but was totally stuffed after and regretted doing so. I ordered P12, or beef belly Pho, and it was flavorful and had large chunks of high quality meat in it. I didn't have to add any spice or additional sauce. My GF ordered V2, or veggie meat pho, and she loved the fake meat (it tasted like a potato pancake). We also split an order of spring rolls (without pork) and it was fair. It came with 2 rolls. The pho was prepared very quickly and the check was left at our table immediately following (you pay at the cash register) along with 2 fortune cookies. read more

Food, service, ambiance, prices on point. My only complaint is the time between closing for lunch and opening for dinner.

I loved the crispy shrimp! The service is fast. Open on a Monday...that's a plus. Lots of people doing takeout too.

Been craving Pho since I got to Missouri. This place is my second try on Pho. This restaurant hits closer to home pho then the one I had over the weekend. I got the P9..Pho Con Ring Chau Tien : Pho Long Chief special soup w/eye -round steak, well-done brisket, tendon, Vietnamese meatballs and oxtail. If you want lots of protein in your Pho, I suggest getting this P9. My bowl was loaded with proteins. They only protein I didn't care much for was the Vietnamese meatballs. I like the kind back home that has the tendon mixed with the meatballs. It could us a little fish sauce but I just left work and was starving and wanted less contact even with my waiter. They have dine in and beside myself was a mother and daughter in the opposite corner eating. This place is located I guess would consider as China Town. read more

There's nothing that I crave more after a day of snowboarding than a bowl of pho. At the recommendation of a friend who is a local, I decided to check out this place. I love it because it's quaint, unassuming, no frills. The pho had good flavor with a hint of star anise (I would have loved a little more). I appreciate that the accoutrements came with all of the different types of mints that adds so much flavor to the broth. There's nothing worst to me than when one of the types of mints is missing. Of note, they even had Thai chili peppers! A must for someone like myself who is a super fan of capsaicin. We also shared the spring rolls which was also authentic and tasty. read more

Tldr: this is a solid pho restaurant honestly, I would recommend if you are looking for good price, quality, and quantity. Beginning with the environment, it's a typical casual vibe with pretty good seating, but not too much. Service was average. It wasn't too crowded on a Saturday night at 8pm. Onto the food, I ordered the combination pho ($10.95) and was happy to see it was a relatively large portion (bowl was around 7 inches in diameter if that helps with visualizing at all and pretty deep bowl). It also had an appropriate amount of noodles and meat to go with the large bowl size and amount of broth. The broth, however, is the reason why I leave a four star review. It was solid, quite savory, but not as savory as the broth at dao tien. However, overall, given the cost, quantity, and quality, I recommend eating at this place if you want to fill your pho crave and come out feeling full. read more

Pho Long - Combination pho, around 7 inch diameter bowl! - Vietnamese Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

DON'T go by their posted hours. We arrived 40 minutes before closing and they would not let us inside to place an order. Heh Pho, put it on Yelp correctly or don't bother coming in to serve food. Another guy showed up and he too was sent away.....crazy!! You would think with Covid business being slow, they would want business. Oh well, we will go somewhere else. I guess the hours are simply a suggestion.... So.... we went around the block to Dao Tien, which is also Vietnamese, rated higher and the staff was very accommodating. So you decide! read more

Nice staff, good food! Very authentic. Recommend the bowl with all the meat and ox tail.

Finally! After moving from Orange County, CA, the pho mecca, I have found pho that parallels what I left behind. I have not liked the pho anywhere in STL yet until coming to Pho Long. When we arrived at 11:30, the place was already packed. I'm not sure if everyone was just seizing the cold rainy day or if this is usual. Those who showed up closer to 12 waited for 15 minutes or so. The broth was great and there was a generous portion of meat. I learned to next time ask for extra noodles as i finished my noodles quickly with meat left. The spring rolls did not measure up to what I'm used to from a restaurant known for spring rolls (I've been spoiled) so I won't order those again. No big deal- I can live without them. I'm just happy to have found a good bowl of pho tai! read more

Centrally located on Olive, this used to be my go to place for Pho. After returning to this establishment I don't know what happened but I'm so disappointed . The spring and egg rolls remain to be rather tasty. They even have options to switch out the protein in the spring rolls which is a great option for people with seafood allergies or simply don't eat seafood. Pho: P2: The brisket meat for me was for sure the most delicious part of this meal. It was well seasoned and practically fell apart in your mouth. The amount of noodles is also more than your typical pho place. The broth however, is what didn't work out for my personal taste palette. The broth did not have the hearty, comforting meat flavor and had a rather sour feeling as well. This is not my preferred way of eating pho but if you prefer a more tangy broth to savory this might be the place for you! read more

Pho Long - Appetizers: Chicken Wings and Spring Rolls - Vietnamese Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

They do pho and that's mostly it. And I'm good with that because it keeps them focused. Plus it's in the name. Why else are you coming here? If you want a quick, no frills meal, come here. It you want a lingering experience or some atmosphere, go elsewhere. That's not a complaint, but simply the way it is. Our three orders of various types of pho were all delicious, in our opinions. I thought the broth was quite savory and fairly complex. There was a high volume of both noodles and meat. The thinly sliced, rare eye of round was tender, and the well done brisket good too. Cilantro, basil, etc. were all very fresh, with you stripping the leaves from the stems to add to your pho. Appetizer of fried chicken dumplings were quite tasty, with a good amount of chicken within. read more

Haven't had pho in STL, but this is an okay (3/5) for me The portion is good and the service was adequate as well. However, the broth wasn't great. My preference is a broth that's "strong" that packs a whole bunch of flavor. The broth here did have flavor...but it wasn't as dense or concentrated as I like it. However, if you like more mild flavors then I think this could be good place for you. I thought the portion was good for the price and there were good amount of meats ( meatball, brisket, ribeye) read more

Amazing amazing amazing. Big portion sizes, always amazing food, one of my STL favorites. Never fails to disappoint.
