    Pho ga
    Dani S.

    I have avoided this place for several months. The last visit, our server didn't want to take care of us. Drinks were never filled. We were never checked up on. We had to ask for containers. The young gal thought she was too good to "serve" her customers. She sat behind the counter and didn't even move. There's only been a couple times I have never tipped a server and the last time I was here was one of those times. As a server for 36 years, how does one not take care if their guests? Especially if it's your family's joint? Well, today my daughter and I really wanted Vietnamese food. We had pho last week but we drove all the way into Meridian for it. We were both feeling lazy so as reluctant as I was to come to this joint again, we decided to come in for the convenience of it's location and not the service. What I love about this joint is that you will always get a hella good bowl of whatever you order. Be it pho, bun bo hue, bo kho. It's going to be delicious I was sad that I stayed away from this place. They legit push out good food. But I refused to be treated like garbage. It was an older lady that worked today. She was really sweet. She had the most beautiful smile of her face when she greeted us. My daughter and I knew what we wanted so after waters were dropped off, so we turned in our order right away with her. My daughter ordered the bo kho (Vietnamese beef stew) and I got the chicken pho. I can't tell you how awesome our bowls looked! The steam coming out of the bowls were fierce! It was hot! My pho looked so good. Hearty chunks of chicken in top. The broth was clear and clean. Topped with fresh cilantro and onion. I added some fish sauce, Sriracha, basil and jalapenos to that baby and it was perfection. The broth was so good! It was just what I needed since I haven't really felt good the last couple days. My noodles were cooked perfectly and had a great chew to it. I had been wanting a good bowl of chicken pho and Pho Nomenal delivered it today. I'm so happy we stopped in today to grab these bowls of goodness. I'm also happy that the little old lady working was so sweet and nice. It's a 180 from the last time we came in. I look forward to coming back soon. Now that it's getting colder, pho sounds that much more tempting to have every week!

    This was my Pho experience and it did not disappoint! It's surprisingly really cute inside for being at the end of a strip mall but they've done a really good job with the decor & music. We went for lunch and there was a lot of people in there! It appears to be a family ran business so the service was a bit slower but I have empathy for that. The Pho broth was so good and hot! The portions are very large and they have sauces on the side to add if wanted like more fish sauce, hoisin and spicy chilis. Looking forward to my leftovers today!

    It's very easy to give a place like this five stars... I stirred it up ordering the spring rolls know as you know the area I live in California I'm either speaking Hindi or Vietnamese so today we're going to practice our Vietnamese I would recommend the spring rolls the next thing I would recommend after that is the pho nomenal bowl pho... This is only gonna take you less than seven minutes to get. Be careful order café sua da afterwards because it's gonna be a lot. The atmosphere is incredibly pleasant people enjoy themselves here. Every time I come to Boise I have to say this is one of my favorite places now Looking for food that's excellent and you want to spend less and $20 and still have money to tip? Then I think you should look here you'll find your answer.

    Killer Combo Bowl
    Christina C.

    I had heard mixed reviews and decided to check it out for myself. Overall, everything was just ok. Food: 3/5. The best item was the chicken wings. Everything else was just ok. I got the killer combo bowl. The shrimp was good. The meat, egg rolls, and cilantro were not cut enough. I got the peach iced tea to drink and that was pretty good, but I feel it was overpriced for what it was. Service: 4/5. There was one main gentleman that handed us menus and took our order. He was very nice and had good recommendations. He said that the vegetarian spring rolls would take a few minutes but they came out quicker than expected. Once it got a little busier, there was only the one man doing everything which took some time. Atmosphere: 4/5. The restaurant was very clean and bright. I was confusing if we were supposed to order up front or sit down first. There were signs saying to order up front but then the man up front handed us menus and told us to sit down and took our order while seated. Some people he had order up front while others he took their orders while seated. Kid friendly: 3/5. We didn't take our little one this time, but did notice a kid menu item of "baby pho". There were not any kids while we were there, but I think it would be an ok setting for kids.

    Our first visit after so many recommendations, and positive reviews on Yelp. We followed all the rules. (1) Went to the counter to order (2) Reviewed the menu, ordered, and picked out a table Our order came with its sides but there was no aroma. I was expecting to inhale all the deliciousness from my bowl as well as my wife's bowl and yet there was nothing. The bowls were hot, not piping hot, and even though I asked for spicy, it was not spicy. I added about half a bottle of chili sauce from the table. My wife wanted more limes so I left the table and went to the counter to ask the young lady for more limes. She asked me how many and I told her about 3-4. I continued with my bowl, which was the P7. The online menus will say Vegan but the menus in the restaurant say vegetarian. I certainly hope that the owners and the staff know the difference as they are not the same thing. My wife had the P5 - Chicken I knew we were in trouble when she consistently played with her noodles which were different than my noodles. There is no explanation as to why one bowl gets a vermicelli noodle while another bowl gets a fatter noodle. I kept adding spicy chili sauce and my wife kept waiting for the limes. SPOILER: The limes never arrived My wife took the rest of her bowl home and added some limes to it the day after and she didn't like it. I wish I took a picture of the menus when we were dining because they don't have the vegan callouts that exist on the menus online. The menu online is attached to this review. I wish the team at Pho Nomenal all the best but we will not be returning.

    The pho was delicious, staff was friendly. The food took long to prepare but the staff was short staffed on a Sunday night. The restaurant did need a sweep, and mop but nothing that was necessary over the top. It was late and I think the staff was doing the best they could. I would definitely return!

    Note I added fish hoisin Sriracha and soy sauce before this picture

    Atmosphere ambiance whatever words suits you is clean and fitting for the amazing menu! They have glass noodles I purchased the beef pho extra meat and with the glass noodles 10/10 you can tell the broth is authentic super clean price and portions generous and fair the staff was above and beyond hate I didn't catch my servers name will stop if in Boise again would say this is the best I've had in the nation so far service was personable and fast!

    Supposedly this is $6 worth of "brisket"

But I rolled my dice today and took my chances and decided to head in. I sat myself. My server was handling a table but came to my table after. Dropped off a menu but this girl knew that she wanted. I did notice that they have size options for their pho now. To be honest, they are pricey compared to other joints. And their portions sizes do run smaller as well. I went with the large chicken pho today. Mannnnnn, the bowl that came out was massive! It was piping hot! The broth was clear. It was sprinkled with cilantro and onion. It looked like a delicious bowl of pho. The broth was savory and rich. The noodles were cooked perfectly! It still had softness to it will a slight bite. I added the basil, Sriracha and a little extra fish sauce. It was hard for me not to consume all the broth. The amount of noodles you get as a large here is a regular bowl at other joints. Today was the right amount I needed. This bowl was warm on my soul. The chicken was tender and not overly cooked. You get a good amount of chicken breast. Sriracha and hoisin sauce is the perfect dipping sauce for the chicken. Today's visit and my last visit was black and white. My server did a great job taking care of me today. The venue is also decorated for fall which was fun! I am stuffed to the brim. I enjoyed every bite of my bowl today. Now that it's getting colder, I will be seeing myself here quite often. Looking forward to mu next big bowl!

They didn't give us hoisin sauce or sriracha sauce either, so I used my left over sauce from my spring rolls.

The mix of Thai and Burmese dishes really sets it apart from other places in town. The food was overall really flavorful dishes like khao soi papaya salad and other northern Thai dishes , and everything tastes fresh and well-prepared. The flavors feel more traditional compared to a lot of Thai spots around here. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side, which gives it a cozy vibe, but it can feel a little tight and busy during peak hours, so it's not the best place for big groups unless you plan ahead. Service was friendly and welcoming, and food came out pretty quickly even when it was busy. Overall, it's a great spot for quality Thai food in Boise. definitely one of the places I'd come back to when I want something more authentic and a little different.

You can truly taste how fresh the ingredients are -- bright herbs, perfectly balanced sauces, and flavors that taste authentic and thoughtfully prepared. I grew up helping at my mom's Thai restaurant when I was young, so I'm pretty picky when it comes to Thai food. This place exceeded my expectations. The flavors brought me back -- fresh, vibrant, and made with care. We ordered: * Pad Thai * Mango Salad * Seafood Soup * Yellow Curry * Fried Chicken with Sticky Rice * Thai Tea The Pad Thai was perfectly seasoned with great texture. The mango salad was fresh and crisp with amazing balance. The seafood soup was rich and comforting. The yellow curry was smooth, flavorful, and not overly heavy. The fried chicken with sticky rice was crispy, tender, and so satisfying. And the Thai tea? Absolutely perfect. On top of the incredible food, the service was friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend!
