    Beef Pho
    Thomas B.

    Another great lunch at Pho Ocean . I ate many pho's and Pho Ocean is by far the best. Real mom and pop atmosphere and the restaurant is always very clean . The owners are very friendly and make you feel welcome. I visit the place for many years and was never disappointed. Thank you .

    Love this place! This was my second time here, needed something healthy and delicious! This family run spot is a gem! Looking forward to going back soon! Thank you.

    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.

    Pho with no meat  $11

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Bun Thit Nuong Cha Gio

    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.

    Pho with grilled pork
    Nathaly V.

    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.

    We have been here twice this week, super fresh ingredients l. Friendly staff. Definitely a must try if you have not ever had Vietnamese style food. Family owned and run the husband makes every dish fresh to order. Fair affordability. We will be visiting here allot

    #25 bun shrimp
    Nancy K.

    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.

    Pho Tai
    Katie L.

    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.

    My husband and I were in town this past Saturday from West Palm Beach for a concert and we found…read morethis spot! We used to have a really great pho place near us, but they have been closed for a few years now and we have been missing having some great pho, and I am so glad we came here! YUM! Something to keep in mind, they have very little parking in front of the restaurant, so you'll have to park in the garage behind it. It will look like it's reserved parking only, but it reads on the sign that floors 1 & 2 are for business parking. The restaurant itself was SO cute! They had a few cute neon signs throughout, nice decor - totally Instagram worthy! We set at the bar and was greeted by Lisa right away! She asked if it was our first time (which it was) and she helped us navigate the menu and gave some suggestions! It was happy hour while we were there (I love a good daily happy hour!) so we got some beers and some appetizers from the happy hour menu. We got the calamari and spring rolls! Spring rolls are a MUST with pho - and they were really good! The calamari was good as well - loved the sauce that it came with! For our pho, I ordered the American Wagyu Pho with Traditional Noodles. My husband order the same, but with the spicy broth and the flat noodles. I really enjoyed this pho!!! It felt like forever since the last time I had such good pho. We stayed for a few more beers on happy hour cause the vibes and music was really great! Lisa found me the name of the Spotify playlist too, which was awesome. She made our first time there a great experience so if we are ever back in the area (or in the mood for pho!) we will definitely be back!

When I called, the woman at the counter answered. I asked for Mi Bo Kho, but she had trouble understanding what I was requesting. Maybe my pronunciation wasn't perfect, but I'm pretty sure it was close. I repeated "Mi Bo Kho" three times. Right after that, she was about to hang up, and I said, "Wait, I'm not finished with my order." She replied, "Ok, go ahead." I asked for extra noodles and extra meat. She then asked me what meat. Since Bo Kho only comes with one meat, I said, "The same meat that comes in Bo Kho." She said, "Ok, see you soon." I drove over to pick it up and told them I had ordered the Bo Kho. The guy asked, "3 items?" I said no, I only ordered Bo Kho. He handed me the bag (my mistake for not checking the receipt), I paid, and then I drove home--about 24 minutes. When I got home and opened the bag, it wasn't Mi Bo Kho. It was Pho Bo Vien. Totally different dish, not even the same soup. I called and asked for a refund. The owner told me he can't do that, but he can give me another soup next time I come in. I don't WANT to come in another time--I wanted Bo Kho TODAY, which is the whole reason I ordered from this place specifically. He also suggested I come back to swap it, but I explained: you're 25 minutes away, and it was already 8:45pm. They close at 9pm. Needless to say, I won't be back. Also, the Pho Bo Vien came with NO cilantro, no culantro, and no sriracha or spicy oil. C'mon... that's a staple with pho. And lettuce was substituted for culantro... yes, lettuce. Just a big NO for me.
