I won't go into the whole story about what first brought me here, but I'm glad I did. I'm not pho expert, so I'm basing this review off of my general impression - not for comparison. Great portions for the price. Broth is good, good amount of ingredients, and plenty of add-ins to customize the dish to your liking. I can confirm this place isn't fancy, but I'm typically in and out on my lunch break. I've been back numerous times since and always get good food, quick, and reasonably priced. read more

Let me start by saying I've only had Vietnamese food a few times in my life, but when the plate I ordered arrived, I couldn't help but water at the mouth from the deliciousness I was staring at. After I spooned on some chili sauce and poured on the side dish of juice they gave me, I began to dig in. I had a pretty damn large bowl of beef, shrimp and egg rolls bedded on top of noodles and lettuce. I finished the whole bowl and am pleasantly satisfied, everything tasted pretty fresh and tasty; however, I couldn't help but think this is probably what the *average* Vietnamese dish tastes like (in the valley, at least) and there are probably better places. As far as I'm concerned, however, this place gets my seal of approval! Tl;dr: 4 egg rolls out of 5. read more

Ordered a beef and shrimp noodle plate because it sounded good. Instead got a plate consisting almost entirely of noodles. The lack of actual beef and shrimp was shocking. Skimping on shrimp is understandable, but the lack of beef for a beef plate is inexcusable. I asked why there was so little beef and the cashier said that the cook counts each individual piece of beef -- and they were small pieces. The flavor was average for a Vietnamese place and it is not worth the abnormally high price. Don't think this is normal for a Vietnamese restaurant! read more

the food is so good. It's so cheap. and portions are great. My favorite Pho place! The atmosphere is a little dinky, but the food makes up for it read more

I love this place. Authentic and fairly priced. The people there are so nice and inviting and accommodating . This is my go to pho place

Truly the BEST pho in the valley! I highly recommend the number 3. I come here about twice a month and have never had a bad meal. The owner is so sweet too! read more

Best pho in Tempe! Happy is the sweetest woman that always treats us like family whenever we come to visit. An absolute must have every week. Can't get enough of the broth! read more

Hair in my pho, husband of the owner is rude and on the phone while wife serves 15+ customers. The two children were being scolded by the dad, as he is spontaneously on the phone. read more

It's such a shame this place is not good, because the service was great and the pho broth was delicious. However, the beef stew was not good. It was too watery and the beef chucks were hard and rubbery. The spring rolls were skinny and lacked flavor. Additionally, the bo vien tasted odd and spongy. The only thing that tasted good here was the pho broth. Which is such a shame because damn is it good broth. read more

See all

I love Pho. It's the kind of food that warms your heart and tummy. I look past the terrible decor and get down to what counts: the soup. Happy and her cute little daughter always welcome me with a smile and know exactly what I want every time. Well-done beef and the spring rolls. Great place for lunch and you can take out the soup: Just make sure you have a big bowl at home to put it together and don't forget to request the sriracha and hoisin to go! read more

Haven't been here in a long time. I'm glad they're still around. Service is always great! Family business but Mom seems to be the only one working. Today I had the bun and goi cuon. Portion was plentiful. Would've liked mint and more veg (carrots, pickled diakon) other than iceberg and a few (literally) cilantro leaves in there but still delicious. I think that fish sauce makes everything delicious! I'll have to have the pho again next time I go, that was probably my go-to back the day when an unlicensed image of Mickey Mouse graced the wall. read more

woah woah woah... hold up, what's with the crummy reviews??? fabulous service. it's the same two people always working day in and day out, night and day. even when they have some fresh blood in there, the core team is always not far away. i have been recognized to the point of getting my stuff made before i even order. i've walked from the furthest end of ASU campus to this specific location for the Thai Tea alone, and i would walk two times further for their pho. i'll admit that the football helmets and the disney montage with an apple thrown in there is NOT posh. but seriously, it's funny as hell and it keeps you coming back, if for nothing else but the "wtf... but why?" factor like i said, good food and great service. not pricey. might i highly recommend the spring rolls? love that peanut sauce. read more

A hidden gem buried in the the hustle and bustle of Rural and University. Go for any of their traditional Pho, Or live a little, and just pick a random number on the menu and see what you get! Chances are it's going to rock you socks. read more

If you're in need of pho in Tempe and can't make it to Khai Hoan, Pho Nhat isn't bad. Now, it's definitely not the best pho that I've ever had, but it does the trick. One thing I find very interesting is the sauce that is served with the spring rolls. I've had a lot of different variations of peanut sauce, but Nhat's is pretty different. It's almost like a peanut/bbq sauce. I liked it. So again, if you're by ASU, like pho and don't really have transportation to other Vietnamese spot, you may enjoy Pho Nhat. read more

Terrible service! I tried once before and I thought it might be a fluke. Went back today and the service was even worse. I walked in and sat down at the only available table. The waitress dropped off the menu without ever looking at me. When she walked-by 5 minutes later, I tried to flag her down and she literally looked the other way. It was 5 more minutes before she returned to take my order...the #17 chicken and Pho, plus an ice tea. I wasn't happy to wait 10 minutes just to place an order, but I let that slide. A couple minutes later she returned to tell me to switch to another table in the back corner. I thought that was a bit rude to inconvenience a customer like that, but again I let it slide. I complied with her request. Unfortunately, I didn't realize that she had asked me to move to an unclean table. There were spills all over the table. I wiped the spilled Pho and hot sauce down with napkins. When the waitress brought me an ice water and hot tea (not what I had ordered) a few minutes later, she never bothered to clean up the mess. Eventually, my Pho was dropped off at my table. The waitress never made eye contact and scurried away before I could ask for anything. The bean sprouts looked like they hadn't been washed (still some caked-on soil). When I went to grab a soup spoon from the stack on the table, they were filthy and covered in oil and dust. I seriously don't know how the place manages to pass health inspections. The waitress never did come back to my table to offer me a refill or to ask how the meal was (and of course never came to clean up the table). Needless to say, I didn't give a tip (I don't even think I should have been charged for the horrible meal experience). read more

My Asian friends swear by this food as a hang-over cure. I think it's pretty tasty for lunch any day of the week. They've got fried rice dishes, soup dishes and some yummy appetizers. I personally love the Seafood Maloney noodles. The shrimp rolls for an appetizer hit the spot too. I'd also recommend their Thai iced tea too, if you like the sweet stuff. Quick, cheap, nutritious. read more

This is one of the best Vietnamese Pho Restaurant I have had for a while. The soup is so tasty, fresh, delicious! When I left the Navy I traveled across the country and found this place. PHO is a must! The soup, the meat, noodles and veggies are all fresh. I love their thai tea as well. The service is quick and very friendly! Thank you and I will go back one day soon... read more

this place should serve as your "fast food" vietnamese stop. i like the fried rice and my husband always orders the pho. it's not spectacular, but you expect it. it hits the spot when you've got a craving, though and that's what matters. i like the guy who runs the shop, he's really friendly and always recognizes us when we come in. i don't know how the rest of the food is, but the pho seems to deliver. the interior is horrid, but it goes with the character of the place. actually, i think they've replaced the furniture and perhaps painted a wall since the last time i've been. i agree, the mickey mouse painting's a tad odd, but whatever. i won't hold it against them. read more

The quality and taste is good. The service could be much better. Service was too busy watching tv.

Pho was pretty salty.. I felt like pouring in my ice water to even it out.. Maybe its done that way to please the non -asian crowd. The waiter was pretty funny tho, mexican fella totally spoke vietnamese to me (extra star for that!). read more

Very good! First time coming here and the pho was delicious. Plenty of it in the bowl too.

One of the beat Pho I've had in the States. Food comes out quick, broth isn't watered down for profit, and broth has the perfect amount of fat. Never had a problem with parking and the people are awesome. read more

It's cheap soup with cheap veggies, but when you're a college student and you're hungry and poor...this is a place to go.

Yesterday for lunch, a few coworkers and I went to Pho Nhat. It was my first time there, however my coworkers had previously gone on several occasions and raved about the pho. Since it had been quite some time since I had pho, I was looking forward to the experience. Perhaps it was simply a case of mis-aligned expectations, but I expected more in light of my coworkers opinion of the food. The portions are generous and inexpensive, yet the taste was bland, even by pho standards. read more

Unfortunately, given my most recent experiences here and my most recent experiences at Khai Hoan (see update), I will have to downgrade my rating for this place. My basic gripe is that they don't really give you much in terms of noodles or accompaniments (beef, tripe, tendon, etc.). You get a lot of broth and a decent amount of veggies, but not much of anything else. read more

Pho for a student budget!! what else can you ask? Good taste, I've tried different numbers (can't recall all of them), but always a lot to finish alone, so come hungry and leave happy. read more

My boyfriend, who introduced me to Vietnamese food, brought me here for the first time about 4 months ago. It is not convenient to where we live, but it is worth the drive. I order the #39 and he gets the #4. The owner knows what we both order and its always delivered quickly. Their Thai Iced Tea is amazing. read more

This place is nothing fancy but it's a great Vietnamese lunch spot with good spring rolls. The lemon grass chicken, chicken curry and vegetable curry are all excellent. Very affordable. read more

The food is good. But the service and the atmosphere take everything away. The table doesn't wipe clean. There is spot of oil or fat where my friend sit. I feel bad to take him to this place. Never again!!! read more

Having eating my mothers and grandmothers homemade, authentic pho my entire life, its hard to beat theirs. Being away at college, I was in dire need to find a place to fill the void and Pho Nhat did the trick! For years I visited their restaurant and would never go anywhere else. Having lived around the country as well, this remains my favorite after all this time. Their spring rolls, meatball and beef pho AND fried rice are my go-to's but I can certain anything you order will not disappoint! Service is quick and friendly and great prices! read more

I LOVE Pho and this place was horrific! I was craving a loaded Pho soup and decided to try this place for takeout on my way home from the airport. Everything was aweful. The soup base was a thin salty chicken stock, no fresh basil (parsley instead!), the spring rolls were stuffed with browned lettuce and as thin as a hot dog, and the egg rolls were stuffed with something unrecognizable (and tasted like they were frozen packaged). The sauces were also inedible. I was starving and ended up throwing it away and eating a PB&J. What a disappointment. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT waste your money at this place. read more

My bf and i came here out of random. I got beef pho he got fried rice. His fried rice was really gross it didn't have flavor. My pho was okay. It wasn't as good as unphogettable but it was pretty good. The ingredients are fresh but they need a better cook. read more

I ordered #25 mi dac biet which was decent. Thankfully I didn't order pho because the bowl my buddy got looked terrible. Greasy layer of fatty broth. I think she was by herself Saturday morning so it was a little slow at service. Pretty much a hole in the wall status but it wasn't good. I don't plan to come back here anytime soon unless I'm starving and this was the only place open. read more

A little hole in the wall place. I've been coming here for probably 7 years and can't get enough of this place. The portions are huge so I usually split it with a co-worker. The best shrimp spring rolls and peanut sauce hands down! I havent found anywhere else that makes them as good. read more

Never went to Vietnam so I'm not too sure how authentic the food here are but I just love the Pork Chop Rice with Fried Eggs. Pure amazing.

Used to be our go to place in Tempe because of the location and seemingly good pho. However, as time went on we realized it wasn't consistent. The past few times we've gone, the soup has been murky and just kind of funky. Because Vietnamese restaurants are in abundance in Phoenix, I hope that the competition is encouragement to improve. I'm kind of disappointed that the quality is going down because this location was one of the closest to us. Won't say that we're never coming back, but we will have to check out some new places before we do. read more

Super small portions. This is hands down the smallest bowl of pho I have ever had ($6.25). The pho came out in the standard size bowl. When it arrives you can see only broth... which can be normal. Many places you have to get your chopsticks in there to fluff up and separate the noodles. When I dipped my chopsticks in, I found myself stirring about a few pieces of noodles and no joke, 3 pieces of beef, 2 pieces of tripe, and 3 small pieces of tendon. I am truly annoyed and disappointed at this point. But wait, what about the broth. The broth was was too sweet which masked any depth of flavor. There are many better options in the Tempe area. read more

Fantastic pho here. No frills straight to the point....moderately priced but the service, quantity and QUALITY of the food is top notch. I highly highly recommend this place if you're in need of a big hot bowl :) read more

This place is about the food. Don't come looks for a fancy dining room or immaculate service. This is a family run restaurant that's doing it well! Come here almost every week read more

Really good pho! Random mickey mouse paintings on the wall. Service was great!
