Super bummed that they closed down due to rent increases thanks to the new Publix. This family was very kind. The food here was amazing and I can't find a comparable alternative in the area. Hopefully another owner will come in and serve up more amazing Vietnamese cuisine soon! read more

The food is amazing. Really good Vietnamese restaurant I have ever been or ordered. They have a description of what goes inside of each meal. So it is pretty easy to know it. They also offer a place for you to write any special or additional information. Service was good. Ambiance was nice. It is located in a place where is plenty of spots available around the restaurant in the parking lot. In front of the restaurant is only few spots, but is very easy to find a parking spot for anyone. read more

Pho Ocean - Vietnamese Near Me - Pompano Beach, Florida

We've been coming here for 5 years, we've even brought friends/family with us. It was previously called pho lavie and it was turned into Pho Ocean. The broth is soo good! Compared to many places we've had pho at, the quality of the broth is greatest here. Bowl sizes are quite large & we typically also get their spring rolls, papaya salad & Thai teas. The restaurant is family owned & the service is good - there's no rush at all. read more

This was my favorite spot they have the best food and chili oil it doesn't compare to any other pho spots i'm highly upset!!! no other pho spot is like this one WHERE DID YALL GO i was a regular Did you move locations??. My go to was Pho flap steak with spring rolls. read more

Pho Ocean - Vegetarian Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Pompano Beach, Florida

My experience at Pho Lavie was subpar. Our server was rude and slurping up her soup at the table next to ours while we and other tables waited to order. My soup was beyond greasy and the egg rolls were chewy and stale. Thr only redeeming quality were the veggies in my soup were crisp and fresh. read more

My original review was for Pho Lavie, but it has since changed name to Pho Ocean. Not much has changed for the better since the owner's kids took over. The prices went way up and the quality went down. The atmosphere is awkward at best. read more

I've been coming here for about 7 months religiously now, the PHO is fantastic !! SUPER CLEAN !! Veggies always fresh. Service AMAZING. I love that it's family owned & everyone helps each-other out. The wife just had a baby in august and is back at Work literally in September... truly remarkable! The husband who wears a black hat all the time is really nice as well, I added chili oil to my pho one day and nearly died at every slurp I took and he educated me that it's best to sip it or else... it'll burn read more

Still decent, but the quality has gone down tremendously. The portions are smaller, there's less seafood in the pho, and almost every delivery order is missing something--usually the shrimp. To make things worse, my last order was even delivered to the wrong address. They have potential, just need to be consistent!! read more

Great service and the food was fresh and tasty. Big servings. The Chicken pad tai was flavorful. And the chicken Pho was delicious too with the fresh condiments on the side. read more

Pho Ocean - Chicken Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Pompano Beach, Florida

A friend of mine is Vietnamese and recommended this authentic family-owned Vietnamese restaurant. Off the beaten path, Pho Lavie is tucked away in the Bealls strip center on Sample Rd and Federal Hwy in Pompano. There's plenty of free parking. Staff at this family-owned restaurant is very friendly. They go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. We ate in the dining room. There were only 2 other tables, and they were spaced far away from us. We were seated immediately and given menus and water. Started with an order of Summer Rolls. 4 large shrimp in each roll with pork, lettuce, noodles, and a hint of mint rolled in rice paper. Served with homemade peanut sauce. Amazing way to start the meal! They were light and packed with flavor. Pho was delicious and the portions were huge! #19 Seafood Pho - was packed with shrimp, squid, scallops, rice noodles and vegetables. The broth was rich with flavor. #15 Pho Ga Nuong - Grilled Chicken Pho was fantastic. The aroma from the broth was delicious and it came packed with noodles and broccoli. A plate of grilled chicken accompanied the dish as well as a plate of fresh crisp bean sprouts, basil, cilantro and lime. Hot chili oil is also on the table to give it a little bite. Large menu with lots of other dishes to try and a nice vegetarian selection. Delicious food...I will be back. read more

Not always easy to find vegan food. We lucked out with this restaurant. They offered at least 10 vegetarian entrees and all but 1 was also vegan. Portions were generous and extremely. Flavorful. There are about 10 tables. The owners are a husband and wife team. Vi (the husband) does the cooking and his wife Quyen served us. If you are in the Pompano Beach area definitely try them out. read more

Really is the best viet food in Fort Lauderdale. Fair prices. Delicious food. Exactly what we were hoping for when we vacationed in Fort Lauderdale. We came in around 3pm and it was empty so we were seated immediately. We placed our order and it came out so fast like in 5-7 minutes. So amazing. I miss it. We ordered pho tai, bun thit nuong, bo luc lac, and spring rolls. I also ordered a Vietnamese coffee ca phe su da. Yummy. Highly recommend the bo luc lac not many places I've been to put potato in it and I love potato so much so I was so happy to have that included. The beef is so tender and the flavor is amazing especially paired with the refreshing cucumber. We got fried rice instead of white rice for a small charge but it was so yummy. You can't go wrong with ordering anything overall so definitely stop by if you have the chance. Probably was the best place we ate in all of Fort Lauderdale in our little vacay. Most satisfied with that meal. We had no leftovers after. read more

Stopped by here last night to enjoy some hot pho. The place was nice, very quiet place with low lights. There was only 1 server attending everyone but the food did come out fast. I ordered a number 17, grilled pork pho and my boyfriend ordered a number 12, beef mix pho. They were both delicious full of flavor. I will definitely recommend this place to have pho. I'm not sure about the rest of the menu so that's why I gave it 4 stars. read more

Now this little Hidden Gem is a Hidden Gem. I took my friend who is a Vietnamese food virgin for lunch today and he really enjoyed it and of course I did too we had number 25 he had all shrimp I had shrimp and pork , the dish could have been hotter in temperature but still tasty at room temperature . and they're fried spring rolls are egg rolls or whatever, everything was good. everything is clean and neat when we walked in nobody was eating in the restaurant at the time then three tables filled up. the owner who is very nice wearing a mask seem to be doing everything, cleaning the tables, waiting on the tables,taking the cash, he's a nice man and a hard worker. it's a great little restaurant in the shopping center on Federal Highway where where Bealls is Angel Nails and a cross from the Dunkin Donuts and Duffy's as well. read more

Vietnamese Crepes were incredible! Also had amazing Pho. Highly recommend, can't wait to go back!

Place not bad, food ok, but main problem it's extremely expensive, minimum check $25 for any plate, but if you want try something interesting it's $40 per person, but it's not restaurant style, it's cheap quality food, for sure not come back. DON'T see MENU PICTURES, price higher for 30-50% in real read more

Pho was OK. We were coming down from NC to visit and were craving for pho after a long day on the road. Service was good. Lots of take outs. The slicing of the meat could use some improvement. Too thick but my husband didn't mind. The woman who was manning the restaurant ran a tight ship. She took care of everything. Didn't miss a beat. read more

It's been a year since updating my review here. Our family loves it. We eat here every Monday without fail. Sometimes I'll pick up some pho to go and it's great at home too. I think the most I've had in one week was 4x oops. They have great customer service and tasty fresh food. It never disappoints. They're consistent! And now we're at the point where we don't have to order anymore. We just have a seat and they already know what we want. We still venture out to try new Vietnamese places every so often but we always come back to Lavie. It's the tastiest in town read more

Sold out. New owners. This has been my go to Pho place for years. The service was awful. We ordered fresh rolls and pho and never received the fresh rolls. The broth of the pho has no taste. It literally tasted like water. The seafood pho had very little seafood at all and ... they raised the prices! How super disappointing! I'll drive an extra 10 miles now to find better pho. read more

If there was something less than one star that's what the experience would reflect. Service here is atrocious. I've eaten here serval times because I love pho noodles. It's a husband and wife shop and the wife is generally the sever. When I tell you this woman does NOT like black people I MEAN IT!!!! I've seen her first hand be down right RUDE, DISRESPECTFUL, AWFUL! her attitude towards people of color is always on display. One time I came in and she totally avoided me. As opposed to addressing me she went and got the cleaning cart, cleared and cleaned at least 5 tables before even asking me if I wanted water, I'm positive she walked over and said "what do you want". To say I've tolerated this women waaay too long is an understatement! The pho is not good enough to stomach the disrespect. STAY AWAY!! You've been warned! read more

A no frills pho spot. I was a little bit annoyed upon entering the restaurant, no one greeted me and the owner was sitting having lunch and blasting her news program on the iPad. Not the most professional way of conducting business in my opinion. I ordered the spring rolls and combination pho - I couldn't believe the it was $25 before tip?!? Absurd pricing for an obviously refrigerated (super cold) spring roll. The broth of the pho dac biet was tepid and uninspiring. Will not return. read more

We got the family sized pho with chicken and meatballs. It only comes with one meat choice and we were unaware so make sure you know they'll charge extra for any additional meats; $6 extra for meatballs. This place is super good and authentic because the lady who takes your order hardly speaks English so you already know you're about to get some good Vietnamese food. One of the best around this area. Will definitely be back read more

There are 2 slices of green pepper and 1 slice of cucumber and an inordinate amount of tofu. Really disappointed with the order 1- the price on the menu is not the price I was charged, but as I was on my way back to work I wasn't going to haggle for 1 or 2 dollars 2- I open the wrapping to eat my sandwich and it's not at all what I expected. The lady who made it could not get ready of me quickly enough and now I know why. 3- I called the restaurant and the owner who's wife made the sandwich told me to F*#k Off, and better luck next time!!! What a joke! read more

Not sure what kind of Vietnamese food------no pickles/ onion slices/Asia cilantro in the Vietnamese sandwich. And the clay pot is just a stir fry first, then transferred to the pot for a bit crispy rice. You are ruining the so-called Vietnamese food! Didn't try pho, maybe it's good?

Banh Mi Thit Nuong (Grilled Pork) I'm a fan of this selection. So good! I'll be back again. Nice size sandwich. I will get 2 next time because they are that good. My new favorite. The Papaya salad and beef ribs were big winners. Very good. The Papaya Salad was prepared with fresh ingredients. The beef rib meat was very tender and easy to chew. Cooked just perfect. I did a takeout order and had a beer while I waited for my order. In and out quickly. My first time here. Food was delicious. Definitely my new place for takeout. I cant wait to have that Banh Mi Thit Nuong (Grilled Pork) again. It was very good! I should have taken a picture. read more

It was my first time trying this restaurant. The set up is very nice and the establishment is clean. I only ordered the pho with meatballs, so the service was quick. However I did not taste much flavor in the broth when I had it , before adding everything else. They also did not have mint for the pho for some reason, it may have been just this day they did not have it. The noodles were good along with the beef. read more
