Pho Minh's - Large bowl of beef pho on a cold night - Vietnamese Near Me - Linden, New Jersey

I'm not Vietnamese and I've only eaten pho like twice in my life but it was amazing. Fresh vegetables, flavorful broth, idk what sauces they provide but I put all of them and it was amazing. The noodles were really good too, all around there was nothing at all to complain about. read more

Pho is soooo delicious especially when the weather outside is soooo cold! A hot bowl of pho will warm you right up. Choose your favorite cuts of protein with their menu and make it an extra large for $2 more. If noodle soup isn't your thing, a rice dish is sure to please. I usually pick anything that comes with a friend egg on top. I also ordered a pork bahn mi which was really satisfying and pretty legit. I always order a sandwich as an appetizer and share with whoever I'm dining with. Love the pho here! read more

My fiance and I stopped by here for a late lunch while we were in the area. I had the chicken banh mi while he had chicken pho with beef broth. The chicken in both dishes was crispy and well seasoned, the bread in my meal just as crispy and paired with spicy jalapenos. I'm greedy and do wish it overall had slightly more chicken, but irrespective of this it was a great meal for it's price point. While the chicken pho was apparently not the "best" ever consumed, it was well liked. Our meals were relatively inexpensive with great service altogether. We'd come again if in the area. read more

Highly recommend this place! Amazing Vietnamese food, always made to order and to perfection! Owner is friendly and staff are also super nice. I highly recommend anything off their menu. My favorite items are the Cha Gio Heo/Ga (crispy deep fried egg rolls), Com Thit Nuong ( Rice & Grilled Pork with lemongrass, cucumbers and tomatoes), Com Ga Nuong Xa ( Rice & Grilled Chicken with lemongrass, cucumbers and tomatoes) , and of course pho. For the Pho, while I am sure all are very tasty, I get Pho Chay - which is the tofu & vegetables. They offer to make it in a vegetable broth, so it is vegan or vegetarian friendly. I can keep going on this place, but it is worth every dime you will spend on a meal. When I am in the area, this is a MUST ! read more

If you are in the area, and craving Vietnamese, I guess Pho Minh is ok. My family came here for lunch after a trip to IKEA, since it was close by. I had Pho Minh bookmarked a while back, but never had the opportunity to come since we live so far away. Typical Vietnamese decor. It's not fancy by any means. My family ordered the brisket and filet pho, beef cubes with vermicelli, and oxtail, tomato and onion with sauce. We weren't really impressed with any dish. The pho soup base was sweet, so that was unexpected. The noodles were good, but the meat portion was lacking. The beef cube vermicelli dish was good but they were tiny! The oxtail dish was odd in that some of the oxtail were still tough, while some were softer and fell off the bone easier. As for the flavor, it was covered in sauce so every bite had a tangy flavor, like sweet and sour. I wasn't a fan. Prices were good and service was in an as needed basis. They also serve bahn mi here, but we likely wouldn't feel the need to come back for round 2. read more

Food is excellent. To me, the best broth ever! The broiled pork is amazing too. It's one of my favorite places to go to, if I feel like pho. The only thing is the young woman working there needs to learn more about customer service and be more polite. Thus, the 4 stars read more

This is my go-to pho spot when I come to jersey to visit my family. Super convenient, delicious and well priced. My husband and I love pho, we literally went to Vietnam just because we love it so much. We are always on the look out for good Vietnamese spots in the states. Pho Minh's is the best we found in the area. The pho broth is flavorful but not too salty. Bahn mi has a great baguette and spring rolls are fresh. We come here so frequently that the young guy knows us and remembers our order! Not a fancy place but Vietnamese is rarely that so give it a try if you want a bowl of hot delicious soup! read more

bad customer service, the receptionist attitude was nasty, and we didnt feel the positive energy to be coming there for the first time. To asking questions about the menu, she seemed like she had an attitude. I am good, ill go somewhere else with nicer customer service :) read more

I visited one day from a recommendation by a coworker and ever since it has been my favorite restaurant for Pho!!! Been going many times for 2 years now. I have since moved on from that job and as I live in Bloomfield, I dont visit as much as I used to but that definitely doesn't stop me from taking the drive to get my Pho fix. I always order the same thing. S8 with broccoli added and usually 4 spring rolls. They are to DIE for!!! A friend of mine ordered a vegetarian pho and I tried it and it was just as delish!! Because of hers, is why I get broccoli added as it was so fresh and perfectly cooked. The spring rolls come with an individual dipping sauce for every person at the table and if you wrap it up with the provided lettuce and cilantro it makes for the perfect bite!! Absolutely percent recommended!! read more

Give it up for Pho Minh's. I've had my eye on this spot for awhile now and it definitely lived up to the hype and it was so friggin' cheap. Like feastly cheap for under $40. Not in the mood for their namesake, pho, we ordered up a bahn mi with beef, a weird omelette wrap appetizer, a beef stick rice dish and it was way too much food. I'll focus on the the bahn mi since it was my favorite. Living in a land of not many bahn mi joints here in New Jersey, this one was delicious. That mint, the spices, the nice portion of meat and at about $6, a great deal as it really is a big ass sandwich, perfect for two. They have veggie and a shrimp option as well for all those inquiring minds. All the other dishes were great as well, cheap and a perfect portion for two to share, where you both get a nice heaping taste or a filling dish for one. Service was great, they serve bubble tea and again, so cheap. What more could you want? read more

It has been a "long, cold, lonely winter"- well maybe not the lonely part. On my third visit here, I've been pretty consistent in ordering the same entree and Pho Minh's has been very consistent itself with excellent service and food. The "Cha Gio" (Vietnamese egg rolls) appetizer, containing ground pork, chicken, onions, and mushroom were hot, super crispy, delicious and refreshing with a sweet dipping sauce and a lettuce shawl. Their Pho Dac Biet (P2 on their menu) was a yummy, hot flavorful broth of vermicelli noodles, bean sprouts, mint leaves, lime juice, beef filet, beef brisket, beef tendon, and beef tripe. After all this, even though I was really full, I had a semi-sweet rice-based porridge with red beans and coconut milk for dessert (there's a picture of it under the table glass). Mmmmmm! All of this- perfect for winter. Thanks, Pho Minh's! read more

In Union County New Jersey it's easy to find Chinese food. You can't throw a stick without hitting a take-out joint and there are actually a couple authentic Chinese restaurants here and there too. The one thing that you can't find everywhere? Vietnamese food. While nowhere near as popular as Chinese or Japanese, this cuisine deserves some representation which is why I'm glad Pho Minh's is around in a wonderful part of Linden. Pho Minh's is located on Wood Avenue, a nice street with several shops and restaurants. The restaurant itself is pretty big and could probably accommodate 30 people if not more easily. The staff is very friendly though a tad distracted even when the restaurant isn't full. I say that mainly because the staff was very attentive at first, but once we had our food they never came back to check if we needed anything (water refills etc.) which surprised me. It wasn't a huge deal, I just found it out of the ordinary. On my recent visit I had the beef pho with thin sliced beef in a wonderful broth with noodles. On the side you are given sprouts, mint and lemon to add in, all of which I used along with some sriracha and hoisin sauce to complete my preferred flavor for pho. The beef was delicious and the noodles had a great texture. The broth was good, but my personal preference is for more of a star anise flavor in the broth. That said, I can understand why it would be toned down since that flavor isn't one most people enjoy in a broth with noodles. I would definitely go back to Pho Minh's. It's not the best Vietnamese food I've ever had, but it's good and fairly priced. read more

I gotta say..."Thank you" Jersey Yelppies I don't know much about Linden, but wanted to try something different, and I found this, and is located on the location that I will probably never around I pulled up, parking was easy, can't really see inside. But before I walk in, you boyz/girls know the feeling you about to walk into some nasty Chinatown restaurant with the dirty wet floor and the waiter wears the yellow that suppose to be a white shirt? lol Well, that was my feeling, but soonest I walked in, I was very impressed The place is nice and clean, not big, good for seating approx 50-75 people, great for private party too I also like it they have plenty of space, and not like most restaurants here in Manhattan, soonest you got out your seat, you bump into someone sitting behind you or the stupid waiter kept bumping into back of your chair, not here. When I was there, the place was not very busy, the guy at the front desk I believe his name is Mark, since I'm not a huge fan of the Vietnamese food, I opened the menu I have no idea what "GA" with the upside down question mark on top of the G pronounce GgggA? I don't even have a upside down question mark on my key board. lol So, Mark was very nice, he took his time and explained some of the dishes to me, I order this Pork Chop, 1 egg and 1 Chinese sausage over rich, half order fried roll, look like the Chinese egg roll, but look and tested much better, and also couple of those shrimp mei fun roll, which I have no idea what they call it, I know I'm suck at those names. lol After I placed my orders, Mark said to me "Please have a seat, will be ready in a minute, "would you like anything to drink"? That is a very impressive customers service, many businesses don't realize all these small touch makes customers feel more comfortable and showing that you care for them, even if you don't, but at least pretend you do. lol I got home after 20 minutes drive, and the food still tasted really good, both fried and shrimp roll are freaking awesome I tried few Vietnamese restaurants here and there, and their shrimp roll always disappointed, I found many Vietnamese restaurants always rolled their shrimp roll way ahead of time, and leave it in the fridge, so it dry it up the skin, tested like crap, but not here, last night shrimp roll was really good, fresh, and don't taste like been in the fridge at all Fried rolls..... Yum yum yum. Sorry Chinese Egg Roll, I think I may have to break up with you, Vietnamese fried roll really know what I'm looking for. lol I'm hungry just sitting here thinking about it Oh, one more thing I almost forgot While I was sitting there waiting for my food, I over heard this guy name Bill talking to the customers, asking how is everything, asking them is it their first time etc Bill said he was the manager Once again to all restaurants owners, the little personal touch The Pho Minh's may not be your luxury 5 stars Four Seasons restaurant with the waiter wearing tuxedo using the $50 wine glass to serve your water To me is not all about what the restaurant use or what the waiter wear, customer service are very important. Cleanest, Customer service, Manners, Taste of the food, Appreciation Pho Minh's got all 5, that's why they are getting a 5 stars from me Keep up the good work guys If you are in the area, make sure you stop by read more

The pho here is pretty good. The broth in particular is really tasty, and I enjoyed the noodles as well. Taking one star off for the beef... The quality was average, and the portions are a little stingy (although not terrible). Loses another star for price. Largo pho would set you back almost $10. I'm accustomed to paying less than that, but that being said I don't know what it usually costs in NJ. Parking is metered. Free parking after 6 each day except Friday which was a little later Wait for the food was quite long the second time I came.. hopefully that's a one off. read more

Hmmmm, never thought I would give a place a 5 before. This place is awesome...I think there was a week where I had it every other day. I definitely have their strawberry bubble tea everyday. The thing I always get, the grilled chicken pho, is very good! I ordered it for take out once and they packaged it in such an awesome fashion! It's such a complex dish! It really meant a lot to me that they would be so caring with it. I mean, I can't express this...I got my order, took it out of the bag and there were several different containers and I got to mix it all together myself...! It was awesome. But yeah, food is great...service is awesome (and quick)...and I wish this place the best! It's kinda nice having it to myself with my GF though! read more

This is one of the only two places I've gone to for Pho in NJ and I have to say that this one is my favorite of the two. I'm not going to go off into a long enthusiastic romantic tangent about why though.. to me Pho is simple comfort food. If I've come back more than 3 times for the same exact order, then a long description explaining why is not necessary. I'm not sure how the noodle to meat ratio fairs currently, but the last time I went a year ago it was damn perfect. The goi cuon (summer rolls) dipped in their peanut sauce was also pretty excellent. The service at the time was also attentive and brisk. Although this might be due to the fact that the place was always mostly empty everytime we went. I love Pho. read more

You want some good broth? This is your place. I would have given this place a 5 stars if it wasn't so different from the pho places I've gone to. They don't serve the traditional bihn roll or my favorite nem noung rolls. They have a big bowl that feeds 2 for $8!!! They also have lunch deals and a vegetarian menu. They serve you pretty fast and the staff is very friendly. Like every place in wood Ave, you have to find street parking. I highly recommend. read more

Was a bit disappointed based on what i expected from the other reviews listed. The pho here comes with very little meat to the point where you feel like you are eating plain vermicelli noodles in broth. You can order more meat for 2.50 but this is a skimpy amount as well. The broth was pretty good but the noodles themselves didn't taste very fresh. Also, the waiter was visibly annoyed when we kept ordering stuff (like extra meat!). Odd since they were not busy at all and we were giving them business. read more

Not usually a pho lover, but this place hits the spot! I got the Pho tai and gobbled it up in no time. Broth is clean tasting and light, noodles just right and the meat was tender. Will definitely be coming back for more read more

I am giving this spot 5 stars based on my recent experiences. During COVID, my mom and I ordered some bahn mi and appetizers for our own little buffet. The staff graciously brought the food out to the car and we ate in the park. I was pleased with the way everything was packaged and the flavors. The fried items like spring rolls weren't greasy and the staff cut holes in the box so it would stay crunchy (they got an extra star for that)! The veg in the summer rolls and sandwiches were nice and fresh. The bread was perfectly crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Made for great leftovers as the favors melted together in the sandwiches. My mom is a new fan too. I will say I came here years ago with friends who ordered the pho and they weren't impressed. I would say go with other menu items and you won't be disappointed! read more

I have come here many times with parents, it is their favorite Vietnamese place in the area and I have to agree! While I don't consider myself a pho expert, it is some of the best pho I have had in NJ. But if you are coming here for great service, go some place else. If you are coming for the pho, come on over. You will not get any recommendations from the servers, there are usually only two of them there anyway. I highly suggest the Vietnamese spring rolls to start and the oxtail pho. read more

The pho broth was good and the prices were average (about 8.00). Would have given it 4 stars if there was more meat in the soup and the service was better. No one is rude but it's slow and no one came around to check on me. Also, really long wait on the check (only one other table in here). I'd come again if I were in the mood and in the area. read more

Was craving pho while in the area and found this little gem. Service: FIVE stars! The servers were incredibly kind, accommodating, and efficient. Appetizer: There was a cheesy picture of grilled shrimp beneath the glass and the table we were staring. We got suckered in (effective marketing) and ordered it. But when I came it looked unflattering... do NOT judge this shrimp book by its wilted lettuce. What a nice char the shrimp had! Cooked perfectly and the sauce wasn't too mayo-heavy, had a nice kick. Dishes: I got the beef pho with slightly rare flank and beef balls. Tasted pretty standard. Yummy. However, the broth was not piping hot like it usually it at places. I normally would have complained accept I was in a rush so the temperature worked out perfectly--I could eat it faster! My mate got a vegetarian noodle dish that was amazing... it had pieces of fried tofu and this taro veggie roll diced up into it. Beautiful. We had brought a bottle of champagne with us and the server brought out an "ice bucket." It was literally a plastic bucket with measuring lines: we felt like ballers. Had an awesome time, great service, and solid food. Will return. read more

In my never ending quest to find as many good Vietnamese restaurants in NJ as possible, I decided to bring my mother and big sister to try Pho Minh's. Started with two appetizers; the sweet potato fritter with shrimp which turned out to be a great appetizer and the classic cold rice paper wrapped spring rolls Both were very tasty, but the sweet potato fritter was clearly the better of the two It was fried nicely and I swear it was like a shrimp latke. I wrapped a couple of pieces of the fritter with the supplied lettuce leaf greens and it was a nice cool light contrast to the starchy sweet potato. My entree was the fried spring roll, beef roll, cucumber & bean sprouts over rice vermicelli (B12 on the menu). My only complaint about this dish was that I wish slightly more spring rolls and beef rolls were provided as I could make out only two of each item. Nonetheless with all the vibrant Vietnamese fresh herbs (lemongrass, lime, bean sprouts) and even some crushed peanuts for contrast, everything worked out to be a yummy fresh and light entree. Both my sister and mother ordered the Pho Xe Lura (P1 on the menu) and they both enjoyed it. They mentioned that the broth was spot on; very well seasoned from the beef and rich as well. There was a pretty generous amount of beef and also the mandatory fresh veggies supplied with the pho. Mom and big sister finished their respective bowls (sans broth of course) and were satisfied. My sister also ordered the iced Vietnamese coffee which she said was great. I detest iced coffee (coffee should be hot IMO), but I'll take her word on this one! I have to mention the service which was a tad spotty as it seemed the two waiters (particularly our waiter) was running around non-stop trying to service all the customers. I noticed a help wanted sign at the front door so maybe that explains the slightly slow service. read more

I've been to Pho Minh's a couple times since moving to Linden last year. I have gone vegetarian since, and was pleased to find out there is a separate vegetarian/vegan menu, which also includes pho! I'm not gonna lie, when they put that bowl of veggie pho in front of me, I was less than excited to try it. To my surprise, the broth was actually really flavorful! The taro spring rolls are also yummy. I've never seen more than 2-3 other tables occupied, but they get a lot of takeout orders. Wish they offered delivery! read more
