    Pho Tai
    Chris M.

    I stopped in for a quick solo dinner because the cold weather had me craving a hot bowl of pho, and Pho Nguyen definitely delivered. I came in a little before closing and was worried I might be cutting it too close, but the staff was incredibly welcoming -- no rush, no pressure, just genuine hospitality. I already knew exactly what I wanted, it was an easy order- pho tai and and a Thai tea, and the food came out promptly. The broth was flavorful, the noodles were perfect, and it absolutely hit the spot. Exactly what I needed to warm up and satisfy my pho fix.

    H5. Bun Bo Hue
    Maria G.

    This place has other soups that I have not seen in many other Vietnamese restaurant like Bun Bo Hu and oxtail pho. The broth has never disappointed me so one may go to places. The Tai tea is a bit too sweet for me, so I didn't enjoy it that much. The lemongrass chicken and grilled beef is yummy. So if I'm not in the mood for pho, that's my next go to dish. The rocket shrimp is also a great appetizer with its dipping sauce. They have a weird day of the week off, like Tuesday so check their schedule because it always gets me!

    Not sure why I waited this long to try Pho Nguyen; I believe I've tried all Vietnamese restaurants in Hampton Roads now that I d lived in this area going 7 years now;but this one! Maybe it was sticker shock back when it was COVID or just a little after so and I saw they were one of the first ones to charge like $20.95 for a bowl of Pho. Of course being 1/3 Vietnamese I know a bowl of Pho couldn't be that much. Anyway, I was pleased to see menu prices are reasonable and since other Yelp reviews rave about this place, I finally caved in. I am very pleased. I ordered Bun Bo Hue, a noodle soup that is harder to make right in taste compared to Pho. So ultimate lithmus test so to speak. The broth was so rich and flavorful, the taste just as Bun Bo Hue should be. I'll stop here and give them a 5 stars for sure.

    A1. Traditional Spring Rolls
    Jonesha M.

    It's crazy how pass this place on daily basis and never noticed it. Now I'm obsessed! I was craving pho and found this place on Yelp. Upon entering my son and I were greeted and sat rather quickly. It is a nice clean environment. I was surprised how reasonably priced the menu was. I got the spring rolls for an appetizer which were delicious and ordered the shrimp pho and added oxtails. My son got the flank steak pho( I forgot the name). It came out in a huge bowl with fresh veggies and limes. We were impressed with how good everything was. Can't wait to go back and try more items!

    Special pho

    Pho Nguyen is the best in town! I loved the depth and tastiness of the broth. It was a hearty and delicious pho. I got the special pho. I liked the brisket and the meatballs in it. Place is super cute inside. It is spacious too. Staff is amazing! Parking is ample , it's in a popular spot across from Home Depot. So glad I found this gem.

    We have come here a few times now and have had great experiences. This place is never busy but is always delicious. Highly recommend for quality Pho. The service is quick and the food is hot with music playing while you enjoy your meal.

    WHERE'S THE BEEF? Banh mis are tiny and have almost no meat. Otherwise they are good.

    Hu tieu (glass noodle soup with pork, ham and shrimp
    Yoonie L.

    I was looking for some late-ish eats and my friend had been here before, so we decided to pop in. - Parking - Center lot. - Vibe - The restaurant seems a little dated, but it was clean and well kept. The restaurant is a wide open space with booth seating on both ends of the walls and table and chair seating in the middle. Washrooms were clean too. - TLC - The young man working was very nice, polite and super helpful. - Noms - I always have my go-tos at Vietnamese restaurants, but I was feeling more adventurous on this visit. I also wanted to take full advantage of my friend's knowledge of Vietnamese cuisine as she is Vietnamese, so I let her order. Springs rolls - a little on the small side, but well rolled and fresh. Spring rolls are my favorite. Hu tieu nam vang - this soup is like a clear pork broth and includes glass noodles, char siu, shrimp, lettuce, thinly sliced pork, quail eggs, topped with cilantro. I really liked it. The broth was clean, and everything was cooked nicely. Bun bo hue - spicy broth, fat round rice noodles, that grayish meat that is in banh mi, pork meat with bone, topped with cilantro and sliced onions. *Note - they bring out this AMAZING sauce that you are supposed to put in your soup and OMG, I just dumped the whole thing in it. It's a mix of chilis and lemongrass and some kind of salty shrimp! SO good. Don't miss on this. Shaking beef - this was my least favorite dish and my friend said it was too saucy. If you are analyzing the dish by itself (not considering it shaking beef), I thought the sauce was good. This was my first time trying shaking beef, so I have nothing to compare it to. I've seen numerous recipes of it on Instagram though and it did look saucier than the versions I have seen as well. The real disappointing part of the dish was how small the cuts of beef cubes were. I pictured bigger chunks. The beef was the size of a mint. All in all, really great soups. I have my eye on their special next, the oxtail pho! Pro tip: ask them to steam the bean sprouts so it doesn't affect the temp of your hot soup! Enjoy, Friends and never stop exploring!

    Seafood rice noodle soup
    M M.

    We had an excellent meal and the service was great. I had the seafood rice noodle soup. With all the toppings. Yum! Squid was tough but it was tops otherwise. My partner had the chicken fried rice and it was also enjoyed. We shared the Vietnamese egg rolls that were delicious as well. Ambiance was meh but that doesn't bother me and had no impact on my meal.

    The inside of this restaurant is super cute. The lights are aesthetic, and the wood on the ceiling makes it feel like a roof. The shrimp spring rolls and peanut sauce were delicious. Always gotta have the spring rolls. They felt fresh when biting into them. The pho comes in a King, Queen, or Kids size which is nice. I got Queen because I knew I couldn't finish a King. Take your crown, Queen! My husband got some bbq with vermicelli noodles. Super yummy, the bbq was seasoned well. It was also a good texture, neither under or over cooked. Service was also wonderful. Everyone was kind, and our server checked on us often. Side note, the playlist they had on the speakers was fire. Thanks for the good meal!

    Pretty fast and reliable I typically have pho when visiting Vietnamese restaurants, but I wanted to do something a bit different for some reason *I guess shame on me for not trying pho when the name of the restaurant includes the word, pho*. For my lunch, I went with the fried rice combo dish, which came with fried rice (of course), beef, chicken, and shrimp. I would say that the dish had plenty of chicken and beef, but the shrimp was a bit lacking. The next time I have a craving for Vietnamese food and need some sustenance before dealing with the insanity that is Walmart, I'll be sure to visit Pho Nguyen.

    This was one of many time here and I'm still impress. This place is big and cozy. It's not easy to find a good and authentic pho place but this place did it . We brought our family for lunch today and they loved it. We ordered my favorite pho noodles soup combo with a variety of meats.Always hit the spot . Their wings and fried wonton was a big hit for my kiddos. Their Bun bo hue was good amount of spicy . Their meat dishes is so tender and flavorful. Service is always fast and we get our food in a good amount of time . We will be back!

    Inside/dining area

    I had family visiting for the weekend, kinda later in evening on a Friday night to be prepared, and Pho won out as the dinner option. A 'Place' I used to go was further away, this place was closer and had better ratings! Also, another recent review of this place, eased our decision on trying! We were immediately greeted, but also realized that we were pushing the hours, but the people didn't seem to mind! The inside is nice, open and quaint...I imagine with more people in there it would have the typical sounds/noise levels, but nothing crazy imho. I had their Pho Ga, son had the beef, and I think my niece had something similar. My brother had a sampler dinner plate that looked tasty for the little time it existed! We got 'small bowls', portion size very impressive, and I actually took some home for a later snack! I will mos def be eating here again!

I ordered takeout, but the restaurant itself has plenty of seating. When I walked in, I was greeted right away and directed to the counter to order. The service was quick--I didn't have to wait long at all, which is always a plus. I started with the beef skewer, which came with a very small side of salad--just a couple slices of cucumber, some tomatoes, and a bit of lettuce with dressing. It was a nice surprise since I wasn't expecting anything extra, but if you're looking for a real side salad, you might want to order one separately. The beef skewer itself was delicious--tender, easy to bite into, and the slightly charred ends added great flavor. Definitely a solid appetizer or side. For my main, I got the vegetarian pho with extra tofu and no mushrooms, and it really hit the spot. The broth was flavorful and comforting. I added jalapeños and oyster sauce, and honestly, I couldn't eat it fast enough. The noodles and veggies were fresh and satisfying. Overall, a great experience--I'll definitely be back!

This place looked like it specialized in bánh mì, so we figured we'd give it a shot. The shop itself is really cute, and they also have boba drinks, which pulled me in because I love boba. I ordered a Thai milk tea along with our sandwiches. That's kind of where things went downhill. The tea tasted really artificial...like, not something I've had before, and the color was off too. It was also super sweet. My boyfriend tried it and said the same thing. For food, we split two sandwiches: he got the marinated pork and I got the roasted pork. The roasted pork was honestly disappointing--almost all fat. I get that pork has some fat, but this was excessive. Most pieces were barely meat, and the texture was just not good. I ended up picking around it just to eat something. The marinated pork was actually pretty solid. But since the other sandwich was such a miss, we basically ended up eating a marinated pork and what felt like a veggie sandwich. Overall, I think we'll keep looking for other spots when we're in the mood for bánh mì.
