This 3 star is based on the Pho Dac Biet. My bowl came out and it was warm not hot like the way it's supposed to be. The fresh herbs given was very limited but you need to ask for more. The broth to me was not very flavorful for restaurant quality. Meat to noodle ratio was good. The quality of meats were good. Overall I was hoping it would be my to go place in the future but then I was disappointed. read more

The pho's really good and I just love ordering the beef pho without beef and just get tripe instead! So good!!!

This place is SOOO yummy!!! And the people are so friendly. Great at suggestions and service!!! We LOVE going here. The egg rolls are so good!!! So are the Spring rolls, but my favorite is the eye of round Pho!!! The taste is so amazing!!! Run, don't walk and get done amazing food!!! read more

I am a bit of a pho snob having moved hear from just south of San Jose CA last year. I've have pho at about 25+ places in and around the South Bay. Please tell me this isn't the best Louisville has to offer. The egg rolls were good but 2 small egg rolls for $3.50? I got the beef pho because I just wanted broth a noodles. What I got was a bowl of five-spice. There is so much five-spice you can't taste anything else. It was overpowering. Really inedible. Maybe cut the five-spice down by about 99%. I want to taste beef broth. read more

Liked the idea of being able to stand up and order for Pho. Quality was good, but not great. Double chicken was not really worth the extra money. Will go back when I am in town. I liked the World Market store next door. read more

Not terrible but not as good as your authentic pho, just a tad bit too sweet and not much flavor.

The service was excellent. My boyfriend enjoyed his milk tea. We ordered the vegetable pho and it had little flavor and undercooked carrots. We were disappointed because we've had many flavorful veggie broths. We added chili sauce and soy sauce but it wasn't enough for me to want to finish it or get a to go box. read more

The Pho is fantastic!!! Employees are happy, nice and very helpful in what to order. Highly recommend. read more

Sooo good! I love this place. The staff are very polite and professional. The menu is awesome and the pho is great! Had the chicken pho w vegetable broth. Delish! read more

Large portions, but flavors are disappointing. Spring rolls should have mint or basil in them, not lettuce. The pho broth is very tame for pho. I've had quite a bit but never one with this little flavor. Staff is nice and courteous, but this place won't get an encore. read more

Clean, friendly staff, good iced Vietnamese coffee...but that's it. The pho broth was completely tasteless, all the meat was over cooked and tough, bean sprouts/veggies were old. We spent a lot of money on various items but we were disappointed in everything but the coffee. Will not return or recommend to anyone. read more

It was pretty good ... I got the Pho and it was pretty good all around . Also got the spring roll which was good as well . There still new so be patient but I think they can survive ! read more

I was craving some good vietnamese food recently and saw that Pho Phi had just opened and decided to give it a try. BEST DECISION I'VE MADE! This new restaurant offers a modern twist to delicious, authentic, genuine vietnamese cuisine. I ordered the classic Pho Tai Chin and was pleasantly surprised by the rich flavor that was present in the broth. They had a perfect ratio of meat to noodles and I left already thinking of the next time I would come back. Definitely worth checking out for anyone searching for QUALITY vietnamese food! read more

Disappointment! The food is mediocre and the service is pretty bad. Just save yourself the trouble and don't go there.

I like the atmosphere of this restaurant. Only problem I had was the noodle. It seemed that the noodle was prepared long before the order so it was sitting in the soup as a chunk. Stirring it sort of fixed the problem but I wish they prepare the noodle on the order. Other than that, I liked this place. read more

It's just ok. There are much better places for pho in Louisville. I wouldn't recommend wasting time on this out of town chain in a town that prides itself on locally owned restaurants. The problem here is the broth. It's bland. I'm vegetarian so I only tried the veggie broth. There's really very little flavor there. read more

So disappointed in so many ways. That said I'm just going to talk about my take out rice bowl. First they got it wrong after they asked 3 times if I wanted rice or noodles. I said rice all 3 times, and got noodles. When I over heard a server telling the kitchen staff it was wrong, they wiped out the noodles with a sink rag, and I stopped them before he put rice in the container, mid air. I got to work with the dish, 80% rice, 20% over cooked veggies- in fish sauce- gross. No soy sauce in the bag, just hoisin and sriracha. Servers were nice but stressed. The owners wife, running the register was rude to them, and she is the one who got the order wrong. It was just bad all around. read more

Pho Phi - Only minus 3 broccoli pieces and plastic bag of lettuce and bean sprouts. - Soup Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

The food was good and tasted alright, however the prices are pretty high for the amount of food that you're getting. My family paid $50 to still be hungry after we ate. read more

It's so so. There is really no Vietnamese Food scene in Louisville, I've lived in Boston and Orlando, so I'm used to flavorful broth and big chunks of meat. It is not horrible but there is room for improvement. Pho broth takes hours to make maybe a whole day to get that deliciousness that Pho is known for. You won't find that here. The service is good, I didn't wait long for my food like others have. So to try something diffent, give it a go. If you've had awesome Pho, keep it moving, read more

Asked for large B5, a noodle bowl with pork and egg roll and some veggies. When the food arrived it was a bowl of pho with chicken, so they take it back and leave me waiting with no food while the 9 other people I'm with are chowing down. They come back with a B5 but in a size small. I even tipped them when I paid and still received two wrong orders. Total was 14 for a bland noodle bowl. Also no one got a refill on their fountain drink or water. Mediocre food and service. read more

This place is awesome! Best pho in the kyana, no question! The owner is so helpful and energetic! Put this on all your "must eat" lists.

Great fresh food from local family, you can't go wrong. The fried rice is amazing, the Sriracha honey tofu made my day!

It wasn't bad but there are 3 much better places to get pho in town. With all the pho shops here, this place was not up to par

It is always hard to find a place where carnivores and vegetarians can eat in harmony. Well, look no further, because here it is. From honey tofu sriracha to the meatball pho, there is plenty of food for everyone to try. Food was fabulous! read more

My visit yesterday was amazing! Staff there was very helpful and friendly. I definitely will be back. And the food was off the hook! Best I have had since my trip to California. read more

My wife brought me take out from here and it was awesome! We've had a lot of pho and thoroughly enjoyed it! Great flavor, large quantity, and wide variety of ingredients in it. I didn't dine in so I have no idea how the ambiance is or the service, but given how good it tasted as take out (and I didn't have it until hours later), I can only imagine that it is superb in house. We will definitely be back! read more

It was good to have a bowl of hot pho on a cold day. The regular size bowl is huge. I ordered egg rolls which were delicious, and they come with sweet and sour sauce. read more

Pho Phi - Thai milk tea - Soup Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

I just ordered the beef round pho and it was delish. I think they have a new chef or recipe cause it was tasty before but now it's like spot on pho!! Delish and the meat was cooked perfectly. I feel like I could bathe in this soup it was that good! Bravo new chef or new recipe!! Pa I would give you a picture but I gobbled it down. Yummy!! read more

Outstanding! This place is amazing. Authentic and fresh. The staff is very friendly! My wife and I ordered grilled pork and shrimp cold noodle, fried egg rolls and fresh spring rolls and everything was so flavorful. No doubt we will revisit to try more items from the menu. read more

I love this place!! The owners and all the staff are so kind. I love getting this to go. Highly recommend the eye-round l, pork spring rolls, veggie pho, and spicy soup. Large portions so I usually get two meals out of one regular size. read more

My first time at Pho Phi and it was okay. Their portions was good a bit too generous on the pho noodles and spring roll noodles. With Pho too much noodle, there will be no broth left. The noodle will absorb all of it and grow in size. Plus my broth was lukewarm. No flavor in broth. I think we will give it another try sometime in the future. Great job on the cleanliness of the restaurant. And friendly staff. read more

I had high hopes but three stars is all I could muster. It's sort of a fast food Vietnamese setup. Food was okay, but just okay. Pho broth was a little bland. Springs rolls were very average. read more

Worst ever stood in line waited 15 min to order and then was told I couldn't dine in because they closed in 25 min. Then tried to charge me a $6 carry out fee when they were the ones who wouldn't let me eat there. First and last trip ever going there read more

The last couple of times I have taken it to go! They give you a great portion of food and it's excellent! I usually get the Pho Bowl Chicken! The only complaint I have is they charge you extra for to go orders. But other than that I highly recommend! read more

Food is below average. Rude teenagers run the counter. Pitcher for beverages fell on the floor and server immediately picked it up and placed on the counter to be reused, disgusting and unsanitary! Employees had almost all the chairs on the tables by 8:30 pm. Food was too expensive for the quality. Don't waste your money and a word of warning for the owner, don't put kids in charge of your business. read more

Second time eating here my wife gets the beef pho and I get the C4 rice plate with pork and shrimp, it is so good I've had it both times and this time I asked for a fried egg on top (not on menu but common in Vietnamese restaurants) great flavor! great service! and the whole place is very clean. Wish I had taken a pic but was too excited to eat and forgot! read more

I'm at the Shelbyville Rd Plaza frequently and I love Vietnamese food. So I was intrigued when I noticed this new place taking over the old fancy burger spot (that also had rolled oysters?). I think it just had too much competition from Wild Wings next door- they've got burgers too. Maybe that's why they tried rolled oysters? Seemed like a strange offering for a fancy burger place... Anyway, it took a LONG time for Pho Phi to finally open for business (which already gave me some apprehension) but as soon as it did, I gave it a shot. My favorite kind of Vietnamese dish is a vermicelli bowl with pork and I've had it at Vietnam Kitchen and Lemmon Grass Cafe and both are great. So, I ordered the same thing at Pho Phi. I had to pay first at the counter (as well as specify a tip) all before sitting down and having my meal brought out and before experiencing any subsequent service that may (or may not) justify a tip. I get technology and how cool it is but I do NOT like being presented with a touch-screen for the purposes of paying for a sit-down meal before I even sit down... much less, pay a tip before I've even received any service. Too many places expect you to pay and tip upfront which I think is a BAD idea and I resent essentially being asked for a tip before anyone has actually done anything for me! This encourages people to feel like they are entitled to extra money whether they actually do anything to earn it or not. This was a big red flag for me right away. I realize many people don't mind or care about this but it is one of my dining pet-peeves. I mean, what if the service or food is horrible? Do you ask for your tip back? Sure you can complain, but at this point, they already have your money. Just feels like the whole notion of tipping has turned into another way to guarantee a boost to the profit margin without actually doing anything. The incentive is upside-down. I guess you can just simply not come back but that isn't the point. Tipping is a form of feedback as to how you are doing. If you get it up-front, that isn't feedback.... it's "feedfront" and doesn't do what it's designed to do. As it turned out though, the service was fine, if a little aloof given the fact that I was the ONLY customer in the dining room. When I got my pork vermicelli bowl, it seemed rather small... the bowl itself was not very big AND it was only about halfway filled. Another red flag. Given the price (which was higher than either VK or Lemon Grass- third red flag), I expected the portion to be AT LEAST on par with them. The food itself, to my great relief, was excellent. The grilled pork was so flavorful and succulent. Everything else about the food was excellent as well. However, considering the negatives I mention above, I never could justify making another trip back in, even given its extremely convenient location for me. It also felt a little cold and impersonal. This is a chain and they've imposed too much of a calculated formula onto what aught to be a more intimate and authentic Vietnamese cafe dining experience.. at least in my opinion. With family-owned and run places like Vietnam Kitchen and Lemongrass Cafe, if I'm in the mood for a vermicelli bowl, I'll be happy to go a little out of my way. Pros: flavor of food is excellent, location (heart of St. Matthews near The Mall and main post office) Cons: impersonal corporate chain feel, small portions, must pay and tip up-front at the counter when you order, service aloof, quantity/experience doesn't justify the price, especially when compared to other local Vietnamese restaurants. read more

Excellent food and service. Best Vietnamese food in Louisville. We got Pho with brisket and spicy chicken siracha vermicelli. Large pho size is enormous. Tender meat....good quality meal. Highly recommend. read more

I'm going to cut these guys a break because my shrimp and rice dish was good, although nothing really special. The coffee wasn't the best that I've had and that's something pho restaurants are usually proud of. The service is definitely lacking though. No smiling faces, no one welcoming. Very rude and Inattentive read more

I should have thought twice when I saw they charge for take out, how cheap can you be. Obviously cheat enough to water down your pho broth and cut back on seasoning. The meatballs were flavorless and the broth much the same. I have to say I was extremely underwhelmed by this restaurant. Such a same. read more
