For the area, this is one of the best spots for pho. A little pricey but the ambiance and the staff are wonderful. read more

Stopped in to get a bowL of HOT PHO... My husband ordered the Pho Tai (rare beef- on the side) also ordered eggrolls. Eggrolls came out hot and crisp. The Pho on the other hand did not come out hot AT ALL. It came out room temperature- wasn't even able to cook the rare beef in the soup- nor the bean sprouts. The pho soup itself did NOT taste like pho. ANY other restaurant food ALWAYS comes out hot and steamy. We asked if they could heat it up- which they did in the microwave... brought it back.. and it was the same. Still freaking cold. 8 hr drive and wanted a good hot steaming bowl of pho.. flavor wasn't there... temperature wasn't there. For a Pho place to be called Pho-nomenal it was definitely NOT Phonomenal. Hell the beer was even room temperature. Very disappointing.... I REALLY wish we hadn't stopped here. ‍ Came in hungry, leaving hungry. Didn't even finish the pho cause it was NOT good, freaking cold.. Helloooo pho should always be served steaming hot! Or at least HOT. Broth needs work as well- no flavor what so ever. Eugh soo disappointing. read more

Stopped for lunch while passing through the area. Hard to find parking but it was worth the walk. Great service and delicious food. Would love to go back if in the area again. read more

Sorry this comes a few months late: Pros: pork over cracked rice, the sides like the wings are the best Cons: When it's cold in Binghamton, the hallway to the bathrooms is just as cold, and there are only two private rooms, so you have to wait, the cold weather tests your might. Overall: This ranks as my second top cool place to go to in Binghamton. Unfortunately I can only recall the Pho which was great, the pork, the cracked rice, the wings, the satay (the chicken meat was soft and cooked well). I know we ordered a bunch of others as well, I know they were well enjoyed by me and my company. read more

We ordered the spring rolls and I think I got the XL bowl of pho. Spring rolls were ok. XL bowl was a lot smaller than I was expecting. It was a bit lacking in meat for the price point. Soup was average. Would also have been better if it came out piping hot. For the area, probably not a whole lot of options, but it was ok. Lots of street parking and seating inside. read more

Pho Nominal is a great place! The service is great and if you're not experienced they'll help you find a dish that will suit you. The place is very clean with a nice calm atmosphere. We usually get the chicken wings, which are crispy and excellent. The vegetarian spring rolls are a go to as well, very good. I get beef pho with noodles which I love and my wife recently got the curry with chicken. Everything is great, we go here often. read more

In my 20 year of dining I have never had to wait an entire hour for some noodles. My friend on the other hand got broken rice with pork, the egg was cold, the meatloaf with egg was cold, and the noodles were lukewarm. Fortunately our group is from out of town, so we won't have to bother stopping by again. They call this place Pho Nomenal but it was Pho Gettable. At least my friends and I bonded over our collective suffering. We entered the restaurant starving and left only slightly less hungry, weighted down by regret. read more

New favorite Vietnamese restaurant. The pho noddle great! The price is perfect! The wings are out of this world! And the stir fry oil noddle are my favorite! read more

yummy flank steak pho!! no other pho compares to it!! will be back soon! can't wait to try other dishes

The Vietnamese Yellow Curry was indeed phenomenal! Beats the taste of Thai yellow curry. My husband agreed I was the winner with it over the veggie Pho he had, which he said was good, but not the best Pho he had ever had (a place in DC wins that). It did have an interesting Xmas-like spice in it. The restaurant was a little hard to find with construction nearby (do not try walking over the rocks unless you are a mountain goat), but once inside it was lovely - although the tables were a little close together with Covid returning. The waitress was very friendly. read more

It was impossible to get into that popular restaurant so we ended up here and let me tell you I am glad we didn't get into that Dog place because the food was delicious. I had one bad meal after another on this road trip and this place saved me. Very friendly service too! read more

Arrived 6:05...no reservation...just white average folks...enjoyed the excellent food before...this time? We sat at the bar, having been told to notify the hostess we would have a drink while waiting for our table. While several patrons at the bar were served... the same individual that told us to notify served drinks and food to either side of us. Multiple tables were seated and served that arrived WITHOUT RESERVATIONS...but not once over 55 minutes did the staff attempt to serve a drink or deliver a menu. 80 minutes in we left....F__k YOU! Never going back... foods good, just gotta fit in I guess.... read more

Pretty good Vietnamese. They also have new happy hour signature cocktails for $5 to make you holler! Cant twll u what time happy hour starts on Fridays, but I CAN tell you that it ends at 7pm. Anyhoo...the pho portions will end up with you taking the rest home. I finished my grilled pork bun. It eas good. I do prefer my nuoc cham to be a little more fishy though. When done, you settle up your bill at the counter. Good east and good service. read more

Loved the pho! The broth was perfect, good number of shrimps and plump/juicy. My friend had the pork chops and rice with the full intention of bringing half of it home but it was so good she finished it. Service was friendly and attentive. Definitely worth stopping here if I'm ever in the area again. read more

My first time eating at this establishment. Was very impressed with the food choices and drink choices. We had the summer tools and vegan spring rolls as appetizers. Both great! Had the yellow curry with chicken and rice and my wife had the triple beef (#13) pho. We were very impressed with both. Was $5 margaritas night. Waitress was very friendly and helpful. Will be back soon. read more

It was great to see a Vietnamese restaurant close to my hotel. I love Pho and Pho Nomenal did not disappoint. The summer rolls were great as was the steak pho. My only regret was that they did not have chicken ( Pho Ga) which is my favorite. The broth was very flavorful and the steak perfectly done medium rare. The service was outstanding. The restaurant was full and I was originally seated at the bar. Staff was able to relocate me to a table to accommodate my leg issues. A great experience read more

I will start this as I always do by saying that I don't give out five stars unless I am really blown away I stopped here for lunch. I was very happy with my choice. The decor had a wood meets industrial feel. High ceilings with the heat ducts and exposed. The high top tables and chairs in the middle were wood with metal and the was a wooden bench around the outer wall for shorter tables. They also have a full bar with stools to sit at. While wall with wood and metal accents. Service was quick and they came to check on me often even as the place was filling up. I had the spring rolls that were slightly overcooked but still good. The Bahn Mi sandwich was the star. The fresh cilantro with the crispness of the carrots, daikons, scallions, cucumbers and the little bit of heat from the jalapeños really brought flavor and texture to the sandwich. The pork had good flavor but would have loved to have sliced instead of pieces but that is just being picky. The sandwich was bomb and I would eat another right now. I saw some of the Pho come out and it looks awesome. I will definitely be back to try it. Please stop in hear and give this place a try totally worth it. The price was reasonable as well. read more

Amazeballs Everything! The Pho was bomb dot com and the Vietnamese coffee was boom da bing~bing!!

Really enjoyed the experience. Food was really good. Atmosphere was nice. I have not had a ton of pho, but I did really enjoy this.

It was really enjoyable. Delicious creative food. The waiter was very attentive. We tried a lot of different foods that ended up being mostly soup like. So we brought home a lot of food. read more

pho was so gross and they didn't even let me get a new one or a refund. the pho smelled so gross

We ordered the phenomenal wings and spring rolls for appetizers and they were very tasty~ the spring rolls were surprisingly meaty. For meals we ordered the eye round pho (yummy), two pork chops (delicious) and the chicken and pork vermicelli (meats were super dry and over all not good-hubby had a bad meal) and dessert was the corn and sticky rice-surprisingly yummy and hot temperature-wise. The restrooms were clean and actually smelled nice (it's the little things!) read more

A cozy new spot in downtown Binghamton! As one would expect, their pho is excellent. I ordered the eye round steak, flank, and tendon pho (all beef). The broth is rich and flavorful, the meat was perfectly cooked, and the bowl was huge, so you definitely won't leave hungry. Some places skimp on the meat, but Phonomenal did not disappoint. The pho came out first, so when we ordered wings as an appetizer they actually came last. The phonomenal wings were incredible! Super crispy and just the right amount of sticky sweet on the outside but tender on the inside. I will definitely get these again and highly recommend for anyone tagging along who might be apprehensive to try Vietnamese food. We planned on ordering dessert, but they didn't have any of it available, so I left with a Thai iced tea. I'm hoping they have it next time as I was eager to try it. Although this place is pho-focused, they also offer a great variety of other Vietnamese dishes, as well. I'm excited to come back again! read more

The food was delicious and plentiful. We got the summer rolls as an appetizer and they tasted just like the ones that our family friends made. Our server was attentive and friendly, bringing our food to us in a timely manner. The decorations were minimalist, but the place was clean and comfortable. My only complaint was that the shrimp in my pho was a bit plain but the tasty broth made up for it. read more

Summer rolls and sauce were good, Pho broth was ok, a bit watery and strong on the star anise but not bad. I had the Vermicelli w grilled pork, shrimp and spring roll. Shrimp was fine, pork could use more authentic seasoning and spring roll was ok but thin. The nuoc cham sauce was ok. This would have been a 3 but the waitress was great. read more

Service was pretty quick and super friendly. We were told it was a 20 minute wait and only really wanted 10-15 minutes.

Pretty causal relaxing experience, based on the tables experience the pho was very good. I got the stir fry with chicken and they were happy to accommodate to my addition. The Service was great even though I couldn't read the menu the server took her time with us. The music definitely also added to the feel and it was just comfortable good food. read more

Good food, nice service. Anything with Vietnamese pork chop was excellent. I have eaten there several times and have always been pleased. read more

It was a great place to try out before the hockey game. Really glad we did. The spring rolls (with grilled pork) were fantastic and fresh. We ordered the pork chops and short ribs. Both were very tasty and similar to our memories of another Vietnamese restaurant that we loved and has since closed. So this made us happy to know we can now come here for the same things! Side of rice was plentiful. Dessert menu needs an update. It's hard to eat rice pudding after eating so much rice for dinner. Overall really great meal. read more

Let me tell one thing! I've been in the area for a long time. Pho Nomenal knows how to do it RIGHT!!!! Within the Binghamton area, I don't really craved EXCEPT HERE!! Every dish I've had is better than the next! Will not stop coming here! read more

Service was good. Tentative servers. We got seated quickly on a Monday afternoon. Food was ok but not wowing. We ordered extra large pho special , grilled pork vermicelli and grilled pork chop with shredded pork. Pho was ok with a Lighter pho broth but still hits the stop if you need a pho in Bing. Bun thit nurong ( grilled pork vermicelli) was good but the grilled pork was on the saltier side and it was just pork chop sliced up instead of traditional thinly sliced grilled pork like it is suppose to be with this dish. Fish sauce was favorable to complement the bun dish. The broken rice pork chop was good, but the shredded pork didn't have too much taste. The Thai ice tea was water down , maybe too much ice was added , so would not recommend. read more

Just had dinner at PhoNomenal with Mother. I am vegan, she is not. I'd read to ask the server to identify the vegan options, which she did. I ordered the veggie summer rolls, and Mother got the shrimp summer rolls for our appetizers. I asked for a different dipping sauce (comes with peanut, got sweet chili). Each order came with 2 rolls (quite filling). Then came the "spice" discussion (dishes can be ordered from spice level 1-5), and I ordered the Tamarind Soup, spice 1, with tofu and rice (comes with rice or vermicelli). Mother ordered shrimp pho. When my soup came, it was so spicy that I couldn't eat it (always possible with my palate!). Mother likes spicy, but it was a bit much for her, too. Our server apologized profusely, and ended up bringing me more tamarind soup "without spice." It was amazing, fragrant and sweet. I transferred the tofu and veggies over, and it was perfect! Despite a little spice-induced hiccup, an all around enjoyable evening. Great service, and good food. read more

I've been to this restaurant a few times where've I've gotten the pho special, broken rice, and bun Bo hue. Overall, each of these items were decently sized and were about a 7/10. I've also had their wings in the past, and those specifically are particularly delicious. Their Vietnamese coffee and Thai iced tea are pretty good as well. The service was about average, although, the food did take a while to come. read more
