All reviews must be by old white people that are used to eating TV dinners. Cilantro and lettuce in the Pho because they don't have the basil. The egg rolls are bland and the broth is low quality. Going to avoid this place at all costs read more

Pho Ocean - Sink water or what they call their house special - Vietnamese Near Me - Pompano Beach, Florida

Food was great, and you can buy their homemade chili oil up front with shrimp chips, the Vietnamese crepe was HUGE and delicious.

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

I have been looking for a local place to eat good Pho and I'm so glad I tried Pho Lavie! The Pho was perfect, the usual huge bowl that could easily serve two. I really enjoyed it and the service was great. The summer rolls were the usual as well, didn't enjoy the sauces too much. The egg rolls were good, but very oily. I definitely recommend the restaurant if you're craving a nice bowl of Pho. read more

The waitress turned her back on me when I politely and respectfully asked her not to walk away from my table, while I was trying to give her my card to pay. TO PAY FOR MY FOOD. The service was incredibly slow, although there were seldom any customers sitting down in the restaurant. She dodged my eyes, so as not to have to come over and wait on me. A WAITRESS. I will not be back to this restaurant. There are too many amazing places where I can be treated with kind, polite, and respectful customer service. read more

Always always amazing. Fresh beautiful food. We try to eat there once a week. The take out service is fast. We have never had to wait for more than 25 minutes. The restaurant is always clean and it is nice to just bring friends who are always happy. We usually get the spring rolls and the lemongrass chicken but they also have an extensive vegetarian and seafood menu as well. read more

I personally love this place and yes it's ran by real Asians so don't expect them to be at your beck and call. I'm married to an Asian and have traveled around Asia and the service is what I would expect. Curry is great and so is the Pho. Get the Pho Tank! You will be #feasting your heart out and will look like you did not even make a dent. Flavors are different then Basilic but still great. I'd say this place is more authentic and less aimed at Americans. You never know when it will be packed or almost empty. They have a bar and one tv. It's usually on Ion. But overall great value and great quick bite with leftovers. And the fried rice is made fresh so if you are a bit picky get it instead of white or brown rice. I've had anything from the salted prawns to the cubed fillet and loved every meal. read more

We used to eat there, until today. The lady moping the floor then used the mop to clean the top of a table then go back to mopping the floor read more

Unbelievable. Absolutely delicious. Stunning, sublime, and delectable. I got the Egg Rolls which contain a combination of ground beef and shrimp and fried to a perfect crisp. To accompany the rolls, they provide a side of fresh grated carrots, lettuce, cilantro, rice noodles, and chili sauces. You wrap the egg roll, with the accompaniments in the crisp lettuce and indulge in a sensory voyage to Vietnam. Following the egg rolls I had the beef pho. My goodness. It was perfect. The depth and balance of the broth completely blew my mind. I then filled the steaming bowl of heaven with fresh lemongrass, Thai basil, cilantro, bean sprouts, and fiery sliced jalapeños and chili sauce. It was already a flavor explosion as I began to devour it, but the best part is how it began to change and morph in to an even better concoction as the flavors of all the fresh herbs and spices began to become one with the broth. It kept. Getting. Better! Pho Lavie, I want to thank you. You've given me the gift of another amazing lunch option, of which there can not be too many. But yours is an option of preference to me now that I hold dearly. Until next time.....I Lavie your Pho. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE. I get take out at least once a week. The chicken pho bowl is amazing. Get an extra side of noodles and some fried egg rolls and it's enough dinner for 2 AND under $20. You can't beat it. Also low calorie and healthy. You must try it. read more

Food menu is sparse and could bring in some better varieties. Watch your gratuity, is is calculated of the gross sales, not the net sales of the check, so you pay more then Florida State regulations are set for gratuities. Owner laughed at me when I asked him about it .... read more

Pho ocean terrific restaurant..excellant food clean ambiance set up new pleasant...went unready for what we found nice service people . Served lovely dishes on beautifully arranged food... read more

Had the beef Bahn sandwich for the first time so I have nothing to compare this with. It was delicious and very refreshing .

Called 3 times to ask if the pho is gluten free, hung up on me 2 times and didn't understand what I was saying. Very rude.

Amazing pho, traditional, I'd come eat here again! Love the dining room setup as well

Sorry I've been eating there on and off food has gone down hill eggrolls meh smaller less interest shown by owners no basil wilted mint one leaf of lettuce pho beef rib was just that no herbs no vegetables and little taste and windows were filthy, I'm done. read more

Definitely the building does not look very appealing from outside due to big neglect from whomever owns the plaza however this place has great food. It was my first ever taste of Vietnamese here in US and I really liked it. Very authentic for sure. I am not sure if due to low staff but service was extremely slow. Took over one hour to get served. Pho soup was huge but was really good. Had few other things from appetizer menu that didn't like much but because of personal taste. My husband thought the appetizers were great and healthy. It's worth checking the place out if you want some good Vietnamese food. read more

I like their curry soup with clams, seafood. Also their pho is good, as is the dark rice. read more

For some reason food tasted better the next day .. the pho was kinda bland so I had to take it home and add some of my own seasonings.

I have not tried Vietnamese food before, so I was excited to taste their cuisine. I ordered a salad kind of meal which had a lot of pasta and strong lemongrass flavor and some chicken meat, which, by the way, could have been more in it and less pasta.. regardless dish was pretty delicious. The other meal I tried here was a beef soup which was not my taste at all. Service was nice and friendly. read more

Restaurant located in a shopping area in a small store. Restaurant opens at 11:00; I arrived at 11;30 when there were no patrons. Stood waiting a bit, a man came out and asked what I wanted so I told him I would like to have lunch. A woman came out to take my order; when I told her what I wanted she stammered a bit saying it wasn't ready, etc. I mentioned my order again, pointing it out to her and asked if it was not available for some reason. She told me it would take a long time; I agreed to wait whereupon she said it would take 10 minutes or so. I agreed to wait and asked for a soda. She asked me if I wouldn't like to have soup - I didn't she left with my order. I sat reading, not minding the wait but wondering why she didn't bring my drink . The food was indeed delicious but the man and woman (?owners?) were not at all friendly. My plate was brought out and that was it for me as far as they were concerned. They both sat down and themselves ate. The restaurant became busy. I finished and asked for my check, paid and walked out, leaving a generous tip without a word of thanks from either, Just an acknowledgment that I was a customer and not a bother would have been a 5 star review. Sad! read more

I had thought this would be my "regular pho place," and it was for a while, but I hate to report that the pho has really gone downhill. Three of us had ordered pho and were experiencing the same thing, "The broth has no flavor. It's just hot water seasoned with salt and MSG." And to add insult to injury it wasn't even served steaming hot so that when you added the greens and bean sprouts you had cold pho. And the elderly man/owner(?) serving customers seemed so annoyed if you asked him any questions. Whatever happened to Pho Lavie??? I've seen that a new pho place will open at Deerfield (Hillsboro/Powerline) Mall. I can't wait! There are other options farther away in Margate. read more

The best Pho, I've had, hands down. i was recommended to this place by a friend and I'm so glad she did. Great service, super friendly staff. Very clean and nicely decorated inside. I wish I could give my thoughts on rest of the food, but every time I go, I get the same thing... but everything I've seen looks so tasty! read more

The only Vietnamese restaurant in the area. Food is very good, service could be better. Their pork egg rolls are delicious and the pho is typically very good. read more

Went there for dinner, place was half full but only one lady working outside taking order, serve, answer phones and behind the cash register. So we have to wait quite long for everything. But the food was delicious, worth the wait. read more

I am not a local of the area (just a tourist passing through) but was craving Pho and this spot had good reviews on Yelp. Having come from the Bay Area (CA) we have a plethora of pho joints and I certainly have high expectations and know what I like and dislike. I ordered the Rare Steak Pho, and my bf had the garlic noodles with prawns. I enjoyed his more as it had wonderful flavors of roasted garlic. The Pho here was good, but not comparable to what we have back home. This is probably the best you can find out here in an area like Pompano Beach though. Service was good, the man who helped us was very courteous and nice. read more

Good portions for good prices. Quick service. Clean restaurant. Got the pho with beef tendon, knuckle and meatballs. Really enjoyed it.

This place was so quaint and the service was friendly and attentive. I ordered veggie pho and it was bomb! Huge portions for a very reasonable price. They even gave me more broth without charging me for it. Will definitely be back next time I'm craving some warm soup goodness. read more

My boyfriend and i found this hidden gem while we were going to get his oil changed across the street, I saw "Pho" did a quick search on Yelp (of course) and decided to trust my fellow yelpers high rated reviews and head on in. The votes are in folks: this is THE best vietnamese in south florida I've tried to date. I've been searching for the perfect pho place around me, and I believe this place will be my new go-to spot! I tried the Pho Tai (Rare flap steak pho) which is steak with beef broth topped with fresh green onions, cilantro, lime, basil and bean sprouts. The steak was SO fresh and flavorful which was a huge plus as I've noticed some pho places their meat does not seem like its fresh. It also had just enough salt flavor as I've experienced other places having too much. Pro tip get extra limes for great flavor. My boyfriend got the banh mi/vietnamese combination of Grilled Pork, Grilled Beef, and Grilled Chicken. I had a bite of it and it was amazing.. same as the pho the quality of meat is great and it is very flavorful. I would consider ordering the banh mi our next visit but the pho would be hard to pass up... maybe I can get both and eat the sub later (it is THAT good my friends!) This place was quick service, pretty empty for a Sunday afternoon, and the waitress was really polite and friendly. If you could guess, I will for sure be back here! read more

Pho Ocean - Amazing Beef Pho (get this you won't be sorry!) - Vietnamese Near Me - Pompano Beach, Florida

Foods not bad and it is right down the street from work so it is convenient. We used to go here about twice a month. That is until the new wait staff lady started. She is not very pleasant and takes forever to get us the tab about 5 different times I was there. Having to be back at work I'd get up and get it myself. The straw the broke the camels back was when me and some co-workers went in and sat around for about 8 minutes with nothing. She then proceeds to go the table with her stuff on it and start eating. We got up and walked out and went to the new Spanish restaurant around the corner. All of us here at work have all agreed to not go back if she is still there. read more

The pho tai was pretty good here! As well as the bo luc lac! Left pretty satisfied and happy.

I'm from Seattle WA where we literally have a pho place on every corner, so when I was living in the area I was thrilled to find this spot so close to home. Tasty pho and also tasty homemade shrimp chips!! I love their fresh spring rolls too. Very good! read more
