I discovered this gem recently and have already come back 3 times in the past 2 weeks. The food is great. The staff is very friendly. I recommend the Com Suon Bi Cha (rice and pork chop dish) and any of the banh mi sandwiches. read more

I am no expert on Vietnamese food other than living in Asia for 4 years. I haven't been to that many in NJ bc there are not so many, but this is the best i've had so far and the owner is nice. read more

Pho Minh's - Vietnamese Near Me - Linden, New Jersey

Love, love, love this place. The pho is kind of sweet but it totally hits the spot when you're in need of a pho fix. The beef banh mi sandwich was good. A little on the dry side though. I also had a coconut bubble tea which really hit the spot since it's so hard to find in this area. Overall I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a pho fix without the hassle of traveling far. read more

Consistent and delicious. We enjoy every meal we have there. The pho broth is rich and tasty. The spring rolls are well constructed. The fried sweet potato appetizer is also a favorite. We almost never order anything else, and never leave hungry. read more

Some of the best pho I've ever eaten. And the fried squid is RIDICULOUS !! Very friendly wait staff, awesome prices. And the bubble tea is a great finish. read more

Pho Minh's - Vietnamese Near Me - Linden, New Jersey

I love Vietnamese food, especially their spring rolls, pho, banh mi and the fruit smoothies. I was so sad to leave Madison b/c they have a really nice family owned Vietnamese restaurant which I missed dearly. But thanks for my colleagues who introduced me to Pho Minh's, they have since become my go-to place for pho around the area. Plus my colleagues also love this place so it's a nice place to hang out for lunch if we eat out. I would recommend the spring rolls as the appetizer. It's very refreshing with fresh shrimps and basil. The peanut dipping sauce goes very well with the rolls, though I wish the taste of peanut could be a little stronger. It's also kind of sweet in my opinion. So more peanut and less sweet would be good. I usually order the pho with everything. For the less adventurous who are not as into tendons and tripe, fret not, they have options for flank, meat balls etc. The small size is usually more than enough for me, especially since I like to have an appetizer and also a smoothie (more on that later), even though it's only 50 cents more to upsize to the large. Recently I have found a spicy version of pho, which came with bone-in pork and ham *yummy* Now to the smoothie, I love and recommend their avocado smoothie. The nice thing is that it doesn't seem to be sweetened, maybe just a little bit, which makes the taste super natural. If you are up for it, the durian smoothie is also great, but be warned, that's not for everyone =) read more

Perhaps the Vietnamese restaurants of San Diego have forever ruined me, but I think this place is just mediocre, at best. The summer rolls were small and underfilled. They also lacked flavor. The sauce was ok. The lemongrass chicken was a bit bland. The pho was actually a little on the sweet side and lacked depth. Bubble tea was blended, which I've never had that way before, but was decent. Overall, I was fairly dissatisfied with my meal. You won't see me back here again. read more

I was so excited to see that there was a Pho place in Linden. And after all the reviews, I was psyched! Unfortunately, I had a terrible experience with the food. We ordered the following: - summer roll (rice paper, shrimp, lettuce, noodles): this was good and fresh. - Egg omelet appetizer (forgot the name): this smelled delicious but the cool must have completely forgot to put salt because it tasted completely bland. And it was really greasy. - Pho with beef tendon and tripe: low on flavor and little meat (well at least it's less than most Vietnamese restaurants). - My husband ordered something with Chinese sausage and he said it was okay I must have gotten sick off the pho because it was hitting the bathroom often since lunch. I've eaten Vietnamese food many many times so I don't think it's because I was not used to the food. The service was okay. We waited quite some time for our food and drinks, etc. It's probably because it was understaffed (one waitress and a brand new girls starting when we sat down). I really wanted to like the place but sadly something was not right here. Ps. When writing a review for this place , if not positive you might get schooled about why a dish should or should not taste like from the biz. Really? Yup read more

Its OK Vietnamese in a an area that I could not find too many competitors. If you are in the mood for Pho, live nearby and don't feel like driving far, this place can be OK. However, I have had much better Pho, much better pork chops, egg quiche, and summer rolls elsewhere. Service was anemic too. I had to ask for hot tea about six times and there were only three tables of people there at the time; I asked for Pho for my son with beef meatballs and brisket and received no brisket? My son was starving and generally puts away a bowl of Pho every time. He ate half and said it wasn't so good and stopped eating it. Not sure why this is happening, maybe too much partying the night before? Any one of the items I described above would have been fine, but put all together in one meal, there is a pattern here. read more

Nice, clean place. Friendly service & very good food. Would definitely recommend it. Found this place through Yelp. Was craving Pho, but ordered some other dishes. All of it was good. We had enough food for 4 (some leftovers) & all of it (including the price) was amazing. What a find! read more

Good place to have a bowl of pho. Easy access from freway and close to airport. Good broth and vegtables. Great service.

Great place for a local Asian dive. The ladies are nice. The price is fine and the food is good. Plus they service is fast and they never rush you to leave read more

Great place!This place is better quality but reasonable! Food quality is as much as nice Vietnamese restaurant in NYC but price is almost half or less than half. I used to go very famous Pho restaurant in Queens, NY but now, I don't need to go there anymore. I hardly recommend! read more

My friend and I came here because the usual Vietnamese spot she llikes was closed. It's a no frills place, which I love. I wasn't particularly impressed with service or food though. The waitress was sweet. She's really young though, which is perhaps why she couldn't really manage everything going on too well. A lot of confusion over nonsense... For instance 1. we asked for bubbles in the Thai Iced tea, she forgot. That's totally fine, we asked her to bring a cup of them and we'd just add them. She began to explain how doing so is not possible .. we ended up getting the cup of bubbles and it was all fine but just so much unnecessary back and forth 2. She came to let us know we'd have to wait 10-15 minutes for the check because she had to step out. we said we'd just take it right away then, as we were finished and then she wouldn't have to rush back. She followed up with a no I'll do it in 10 minutes ? I honestly don't know where the miscommunication happened. The food was a solid meal. I had the Pho with pork and spring rolls. They were both pretty good, nothing spectacular though. Menus were sticky also which turned me off. read more

There aren't a lot of genuine good tasty food around here...and forget about variety. That's why when i decided to try this place, I did not have high hopes for it. So happy to be proven wrong. This place is great. The food is fresh, flavorful and the perfect serving size. The phos are all phenomenal. Even on a hot day it a great choice. I've been here over a dozen times and every single time I order the delightfully tender crispy squid appetizer. It's amazing with the sautéed onions on a bed of greens and a beautiful savory & tart sauce on the side. Wow. This dish is my favorite dish of any of the restaurant in the area and beyond. They rice dishes and all very good and affordable. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The the place over all isn't fancy, but it's clean and pleasant. Lunch time is extremely busy so call ahead just in case. read more

Easy good pho spot. If you are going for lunch make sure you have time, it's not the quickest thing in the world but it's good

We had a craving for pho and Vietnamese Sandwiches. The restaurant was nice and quaint. Service was friendly and the food was great! We ended up ordering food to go so we would have more for later... yes we're fat kids at heart . I would definitely try them. Very tasty food read more

My girlfriend and I adventured out here because we were craving pho on a cold Sunday. It was a bit of a drive for us but worth it. Both of us ordered a variation of the beef pho with veggies added. I would definitely recommend adding the veggies, they really rounded out the pho. Got the bubble tea, which was....interesting. I wish this place was closer to my house. read more

Pho Minh's - Beef filet and flank pho with veggies added. Highly suggest adding the veggies. - Vietnamese Near Me - Linden, New Jersey

Surprisingly good Vietnamese restaurant in a small town that is not exactly known for its Asian cuisine. As you would expect with this type of fare, the food is tasty, portions are large (the banh mi in particular are bigger than I anticipated), and prices are low. I usually get the pho dac biet (a.k.a. "special"). I've come here several times and the service has been consistently pleasant. Nice place for a quiet, casual dinner. read more

The Pho is just average. Soup is salty without enough beef flavor. The meat used not the quality I will expect from a good Vietnamese restaurant. read more

Awesome place..great vegetarian food!! # 14 and 15 on the veggie menu and veggie fried rice were excellent!! read more

It is a clean, quiet place (like all pho place). I would still rate this over fast food. The pho noodle is too fragile and break in pieces easy, the portion is too small, not enough meat on top of the that. The soup is good still. It is not as good as other good pho places. read more

Pho Minh's - The soup is good, but the portion is too small. - Vietnamese Near Me - Linden, New Jersey

I love this place. it was one of my cravings during pregnancy and gone there ever since the rare beef soup is delicious I also recommend the thai bubble tea. and the iced coffee. it is super strong but delicious!!! The staff is really polite and would definitely recommend this place. read more

Been here twice for their pho and have yet to be disappointed. Nice, steaming hot, definitely authentic as verified by a huge pho-loving friend, and bowls are HUGE. First time, I shared with my boyfriend. Second time, I had to package and take home. Decor leaves a bit to be desired, but hell, I go to eat, not to be surrounded by "fine dining". Plus, the fish in the front of the restaurant are adorable :-) read more

I love Pho Minh's. I live in Indiana. But as long as I have chance to visit New York area or New Jersey, I will go there. All the food there is very delicious. Yum. read more

We've eaten or taken out at Pho Minh several times over the past. The pho is quite good in my opinion. Maybe not the best I ever had but tasty enough to keep me coming back. It's the closest Vietnamese place to our home but we wouldn't go if it wasn't good. We mostly have pho. The broth is flavorful without being too strong. The roasted pork chop (com suon nuong) is also very good. They offer online ordering for pickup and it's very reliable. read more

Great pho and banh mi! The pho was a bit pricier than what I'm accustomed to paying in Chinatown or flushing, but the banh mi was everything. Delicious fresh grilled meat, crispy bread, cheap and filling. I highly recommend their banh mi!! read more

Best pho I've ever had! Super friendly and fast service. Food was amazing. Have been here 3 times in the two months here from California. A definite must !! read more

Worst food ever. I tried chicken pad Thai. The chicken was not at all cooked. It was too hard to eat. I never recommend this place.

Very good pho, reasonably priced, tasty soup base. Like the wide noodles, big menu, many choices of other tasty looking stuff. Nice place for quick bite. read more

This place is PHO-REAL! (I know..i know...corny much) i had a weird craving for Pho..and let me just say..I've never tried it before. Yelp was practically calling me to try this place out and I'm so thankful that I did! I'm hooked on this Pho stuff..it's sooo good..I'm literally speechless. I walked in with the sniffles and it pretty much knocked it right outta me when I was done! I loaded it up with their hot sauce and it was perfect! It's about $8 for a huge bowl during lunch time which is definitely bang for your buck. It's been almost 24 hours since my last Pho encounter and I just cant wait to get back in there again! read more

Pho Minh's - Beef fillet Pho makes for a happy tummy! - Vietnamese Near Me - Linden, New Jersey

It's not horrible, but it's not great. The broth has a sweet taste to it and even with hoison sauce and sriracha it still tasted sweet. The noodles were not typical vermicelli that I'm used to. We also had the crispy spring rolls that also had that sweet taste to it which ruined it for me. Overall, wasnt impressed especially after reading all of the other reviews. read more

Food was decent though the service wasn't so good. The noodles for the pho was almost like linguini than rice noodles. The place was run by two high school boys that were playing video games on the dining area tv when I walked in. They weren't attentive at all. read more

Disappointed to write a "meh" review for this place. Placed a take out order of 9 different items on a Saturday night. The restaurant was empty when we got there - it was raining so that was fine. The food was ready as expected. We had a few orders of the fried rice, some bun thit nuong, a bo kho and a bun bo hue. The fried rice was ok, portion was good. The bun thit nuong was not flavorful and the meat was dry. The bo kho and bun bo hue did not taste like how they are supposed to taste. One of the bun thit nuong came with a red rubberband in it - a full one, not a piece of it. The bun bo hue also had hair in it. Being that we ordered out, we couldnt show them what we found. Things like this can happen but did not expect it to happen even when they were not busy. Did not try pho or other items so cannot review on those other options. The price was a bit lower than other places in Edison area. Most likely would not return. read more

Great food, great service! We always go for lunch and get Pho Tai, Lettuce wraps, and Bahn Mi! Never crowded, great atmosphere, quick service, AMAZING PRICES FOR THE QUALITY. A++ The servers a very friendly and give great suggestions for meals. Riza is exceptionally helpful and has a great attitude! read more

Great local restaurant, nice owner. The pho and banh mi are always right on point. read more

Disclaimer: This was probably only my third time trying Vietnamese food so I am not considering myself an expert on the subject matter. Being new to this cuisine, I thought the food was good and I'm curious to try additional dishes. We tried one of the chicken pho, a chicken with lemongrass dish that came on a bed of noodles & veggies (waitress recommended this), and a chicken curry dish. I liked the chicken lemongrass dish the most as it was fresh and tasty. Although I enjoyed the flavors of this dish, the chicken itself had a bbq flavor and was served cold so it was somewhat dry/stringy (not sure if this is intentional or not but I prefer my chicken to be tender and served hot/warm). The chicken pho that we chose didn't have much flavor to it but I still liked it for some reason. The chicken curry was extremely spicy. My favorite part was the avocado shake. I'd like to try this place again, maybe a different pho selection and also maybe for take-out instead of dine-in as the restaurant itself was nothing write home about. read more

The food is decent but its not consistent at all, and this drives me nuts, especially when I mostly order the same thing. Today, I picked up an order which was not what I've ordered, their substitution was 40% cheaper in price than what I paid for... Check your pick-up order before leaving the restaurant. I'm done with them for now. read more

This is probably the best Vietnamese restaurant that I have tried to far. It is also probably the best restaurant for quality of food and tastiness in Linden. New owners really know their food and they are using very good ingredients. I had a Banh Mi sandwich, and the french bread was amazing. The Pho and salmon baked in clay pot were also awesome. read more
