The mission today was pretty simple. After some morning errands Wifey and I wanted some Chinese food at a dine-in. Surprisingly, that was too hard to do but we thought Pho Ngan might work as it has dine-in with some stir fry options. We have been here before and liked what we had but this review is about today's lunch. We entered at about 11:30 a.m. and were promptly greeted and seated. We shared an order of the Eggrolls (Cha Gio) and each got an order of the Pork and Seafood stirfry (Hu Tieu Dac Biet Xao). I disagree with earlier reviews about the Eggrolls. They are NOT legit. They were terrible and we won't make the mistake of getting again. There are (or were) legit Vietnamese eggrolls at other places in Tucson but these don't even come close. Skip them. Maybe the Spring Rolls are good. We'll try on another visit. The stirfry dish, on the other hand, was incredibly good. Tender chunks of meat with shrimp and glass noodles in a very satisfying sauce. We both loved it and will most certainly have it again. Our server was wonderful as well. Everything came out fast and as we asked. A refill of my drink was also quickly provided. Not a budget lunch though. I hope they stay here. Happy to have an Asian place with sit down, good food (OK, not the egg rolls), and a welcoming staff. read more

Had a nice lunch. Had a sandwich, good bread, quality ingredients, chicken was nicely spiced.

I was in the area and my boy was starving so we decided to try this little spot. I didn't liked the smell of dirty rags once we got in but I decided to be brave and give them a try. We ordered the beef pho and they where a good big portion a super flavorful the only drawback is that we found a hair in a piece of tendon. I told the waiter and she said that it happens even when they wash everything and mentioned that her dad (the cook) is very old. Anyways I don't think I'll be back after that experience. read more

Eh. For Tucson it's okay. The cilantro pâte was good. Yucky bread. Spring roll was good. Service was good. Overall just good. Doesn't suck by any means but could be better. read more

As a vegetarian, I love Vietnamese food. Sadly this was a big disappointment. Had the vermicelli bowl with tofu. The bowl has no vegetables aside from some shredded zucchini. No other vegetables, no even carrots - unless you count cilantro and mint as vegetables... When I asked to be sure it was totally vegetarian ( i.e no fish sauce), they told me to just use the soy sauce on the table. So the whole bowl arrived dry. Grabbed what they told me was soy sauce, but it was just some generic seasoning by Knorr, a mainstream (ie not Asian) company ( photo attached). Ordered the spring rolls, which were not only tasteless - the vermicelli wasn't fully cooked - some bits were still crunchy. There are great Vietnamese places here in Tucson. We will be going to those places next time. read more

Pho Ngan - Non-soy sauce - Vietnamese Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Let me start by saying bok choy, broccoli, carrots and cauliflower are NOT NORMAL THINGS TO EAT WITH PHO! Just had to get that out there Even though I was skeptical, I have to say the flavor of the broth was good! I got the build your own pho with meatballs (bo vien), rare steak (tai) and brisket (chin) and ordered it for takeout. The lady who took my order was super sweet and even offered to bring my order to my car. I really liked their customer service and the food was good! Nothing out of the ordinary but enough to satisfy. One other critique is I think it's a little pricey for pho but that's just my opinion! read more

Pho Ngan - Ordered takeout and they said they'll bring the food out to me! How nice :) - Vietnamese Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

My friend and I shared a Fried Rice ($16) and a Pork and Seafood Stirfry ($16). I liked both, though I thought the rice had been overcooked and was dry. Service was good and fast. The place is a typical ethnic strip-mall restaurant with no fine-dining pretensions. read more

Excellent service and flavorful pho! We were in the mood for got soup today and decided to try a new pho place. Everyone was friendly and helpful. The pho broths were rich and delicious. We started with shrimp spring rolls (goi cuon $6 for 2). The rolls were wonderful but the peanut sauce was thin. Then we built our own pho. My husband had the vegetable broth with rare steak, noodles and all the veggies. I ordered the beef broth with rare steak, tripe and brisket (you can pick up to three kinds of protein), no noodles and all the veggies. Both pho's (large $15 each) came with an excellent rich broth, lots of protein and tender crisp. veggies (broccoli, carrots, cauliflower and tiny baby bok choy). Service was friendly and fast. Great place to get pho. read more

We ordered the Bun Thit Nuong and Banh Xeo for take out. The Bun Thit Nuong was good, but a bit over priced. The Banh Xeo was a little messy/hard to eat (sort of fell apart) and was too oily for me... wasnt the best experience but could have been due to it being take out.. Would try again for dine in. read more

Food was mediocre but the service or better yet lack of service is what tops the cake. The guy with glasses that was serving us, clearly didn't want to be at work and should next time just call out from work. Didn't care to refill our waters or ask how our food was. Poor customer service. Wont be returning. Overall clean establishment. read more

I have only had takeout from here, as I'm immune compromised and can't dine-in. I am a vegetarian allergic to mushrooms. The veg pho broth is mushroom based, but they made me a pho without it which was still good. It is incredibly rare for a restaurant to volunteer to accommodate my mushroom allergy by making a new broth! I was quite impressed they offered to do that. Vegetarian pho: good and I was able to divide it into two meals Fresh rolls: good (they're stingy with the peanut sauce, so buy an extra one) -2nd time I had these the rolls were small, so the sauce amount was fine Bahn mi: the fake pork filling wasn't great, tofu filling didn't taste quite right either, so I think it's the pate sauce they add to the bread Fried rice: good (but too greasy) Clear noodles: too oily and no vegetables (I wouldn't get this again) read more

Wanted to try the Vietnamese savory crepes it was ok, the grill pork bahn mi was not what I expected, didn't come close looking like the picture. It did come with some lettuce in a ziplock bag and "some" daikon/carrots/cilantro/jalapeno and 1 cucumber in another plastic baggie, not enough to spread it over the bahn mi after I realized it was for the bahn mi, no pate or mayo, what you see was what I got.. the lady that helped me was nice so she earned 1 star. read more

The Pho was very good, the broth is flavorful and delicious. I like the build your own option as it was simple, not too many options and not too little. The vegetarian option was also great as they give you more than the normal pho veggie options to choose from. The vegetarian fried rice was just okay. The shrimp spring roles were bursting open before we touched it. Nothing amazing. The one thing that was annoying is we did a pick up order between 1:50pm to 2:00pm and it was not ready till about 2:20pm. Other than that the food was just okay. The store looked quaint and clean, not a lot of people were eating in but a good amount of take out. read more

I've been wanting to try the Bahn Mi here at Pho Ngan for a while and finally made it today. I was not disappointed , the Sandwich was great. I got grilled pork and the flavor was excellent. Will be a regular stop for me now. Friendly, helpful staff. read more

What a great little place to get some delicious food! I ordered the traditional pho number 1, the egg rolls and the traditional spring rolls! All of them were really good! The waitress recommended the egg rolls because every ingredient is made in house and they were some of the best I've ever had. Spring rolls were made alittle sloppy but honestly who cares if it taste good! They were all very nice and welcoming! The meats in the soup were also very well cooked with lots of flavors! This restaurant has a decent amount of seating and the inside was clean. They were cleaning the whole time I was there! I would come back to this place again for sure! The only dislike I had was the chop sticks they give you are too nice haha they are steel and I felt the noodles slide off easier and I struggled to eat with them when I normally have no problems with the wooden ones. But that's great they are trying to elevate their experience l. read more

I've been coming here for past two years and never have I ever had the rudest customer service. I called to speak with manager and low and behold the rude lady there today was the manager, she gave me two different totals then I pulled out a 50$ got another total of course more, she proceeds to argue with me. you as a manager need better education on how to treat your customers, that pay your way! last time I will ever give my money to this facility and fuck the manager!. word of mouth goes a long way I'll never send anyone there again. There's way better places with better service than this place. read more

Very happy with my take out experience. Got the large pho with brisket and bok choy and the beef was tender. The pho broth has a strong star anise taste which was weird on its own but worked out perfectly with all the fixings. The bun with grilled pork was tasty with lots of veggies. They mixed well with the noodles and the fish sauce. The fish sauce is slightly spicy which I think it's yummy but be aware if you don't like heat. The star of my order was the banh xeo crepes. So crispy with pork, shrimps, and veggies inside. It's a bit greasy but rest them on paper towels and it's great. Everything was packaged nicely and staff was friendly. read more

The noodle soups in this Vietnamese restaurant is pretty good so far I have had their Pho and their pork and seafood clear noodle soup. Both of them have very good flavor and the soup broth is pretty clear. The way Vietnamese soup should be this is my go to place for Vietnamese noodle soups. The restaurant is pretty clean, well aerated, and the customers are not packed in together. The servers are very nice and checking up on us frequently to replenish our water. read more

I love the soup here! I get the same dish everytime it's Beef Pho with a side of chicken fried rice. Extra veggies and I am set to do work! I enjoy the laid back atmosphere. I recommend you try a bowl and order the liar special it's not on the menu. read more

The food and service in this simple restaurant were outstanding. The fried egg rolls were freshly made, hot and crisp. I ordered them with the lettuce and mint wraps which added a degree of freshness. The stir fried glass noodles with pork and shrimp also was made to order and served hot from the kitchen. This is a dish I've not seen in menus in my home state. It is very tasty. Containers of fish sauce, vegetarian soy sauce, chili sauce, hoisin and Siracha are on the tables for use. I would return here in future visits to Tucson. read more

Came here because we were craving for some asian soup. My friend got a bowl of pho and I got a bowl of BUN BO HUE, which is a spicy beef soup with pork hock, meatloaf, and shank tendon. The broth was sweet, but it was lacking lemongrass. For a regular beef soup, it wasn't bad, but it's not BBH if it doesn't have lemongrass. Service was okay. They brought the food out promptly, typical for an asian restaurant and then they leave you to your meal. Overall 2.5 stars. read more

Love this place! This is the first Vietnamese restaurant I've tried since moving here last month, so I can't compare it to anything else in town, but I was quite impressed with Pho Ngan! As of 10/10/20, they are open for dine-in as well as takeout. The woman who gave me my to-go order was sooo sweet, I'll definitely be back with my husband soon to dine in. The food was ready for pickup within 15-20 min of ordering. I ordered through Yelp and the ETA was longer than it needed to be, so next time I'll just head over as soon as I place the order. Portions are BIG. I ordered a kid's pho and it was plenty to fill up an adult! The broth was good, and it came with all the right fixins. We also tried the spring rolls with vegan ham (cha lua chay) and egg rolls (cha gio). I'm thrilled to report the egg rolls were legit Vietnamese egg rolls -- not the Chinese cabbagey kind! There was a display case at the restaurant with some che and banh it (traditional Vietnamese desserts) that I will definitely be trying when we come back for dine-in. read more

Pho ngan always leaves me feeling confused. Why...? Because some of their dishes are AMAZING (bahn xeo) and then the main event is sub par at best. (Beef pho) I ordered my daughter a kids beef meatball pho to go. When we got home and ready to eat she absolutely was turned off by the amount of grease in the broth. After attempting to skim the fat we gave up and I placed it in the freezer to harden the grease. Please look at the photos included. I think they have potential to be better but my recommendation is to try a variety of their dishes to see which ones you actually enjoy cause it's a hit or miss. read more

OMGosh the very best Vietnamese food ever. The service is top notch. Great choices of food . They are very proud of the food though. Prices are high for what I get but I still will go because it's the best. Only place in town to get a decent Vietnamese sandwich Banh Mi Thit Nuong read more

This review is strictly for the food because we ordered delivery. We got the vegetable pho with fried tofu, vegetable fried rice, taro boba, and Thai coffee. The food was good but the soup is not as flavorful as I'm used to. The fried rice and drinks were better than the soup. If you're in a pinch and want some decent pho, I would recommend it especially since they deliver but it would be more of a middle of the road option to me. No complaints here. read more

I prefer take out since oddly, someone is always on their phone with the volume up and I find that very irritating. But I love the food. I usually get bun noodle salad. Their meats are seasoned well and portions are generous and well priced. I like ha long bay's crispy rolls a bit better but the bay's meats are not quite as tasty. Such different menus though! read more

Pho Ngan was a lucky discovery for us road tripping through AZ. Food and service ẃere excellent. We ordered Vegatarian pork pate Spring rolls, Fried Tofu appetizers, both tasty. Entrees Vegetarian Pho and Tofu Vermicelli excellent, complex flavors and better than most places we've dined in CA. Service was friendly and efficient, and we were there during dinner busy hour. Plenty of parking available, in a commercial shopping center with a big parking lot. I wish the iced sua da cafe was NOT in a plastic cup. We prefer the more traditional cafe filtre, slowly drip by drip, making inky black coffee to pour over a big glass of ice and condensed milk. We would happily return to Pho Ngan, would love to try more of their delicious food (and next time, no coffee) read more

Service was great, prices are a bit high all things considered. Food was mediocre at best. My pho tasted like someone had thrown an entire pepper shaker into the broth. Sorry to say I won't be going back. I'd rather take a trip down the street to Miss Saigon. read more

I desperately needed the comfort of pho, and Pho Ngan pleasantly exceeded my expectations...and as a food snob, that is very difficult to do! Thank you for using the freshest ingredients, best bok choy ever! I liked the ease of the menu and especially the build your own pho bowl. While I enjoyed the perfectly seasoned beef broth and rare steak, I had options of 2 other proteins from a long list. I ended up taking one to go, too, and my picky daughter said the veggie broth was amazing, and she thanked me for not adding carrots, lol, again the nice list of veggies to the build your own was great! Also, I appreciate you greeting me with a smile and having a clean establishment, smelled fresh at 4p and not like stinky Fabuloso! The Thai tea was a tasty treat and would highly recommend as well. I am hard to please, but 5 stars all the way on this one! read more
