I absolutely love pho and I was so excited to see that a new place had opened up pretty close to where we live! My husband and I went in and were helped by a very friendly young lady at the counter. We had questions about ingredients and portions and spices and she answered them all so politely and with as much information as she could. There was one question she didn't know the answer to but she asked the cook and he was able to answer it. I order the Pho #1 and my husband got the Pho #10. Within a couple minutes she had brought our drinks and silverware to the table. Less than ten minutes later she was bringing out our bowls! Everything tasted amazing, and though I wish the noodles had been a little thicker we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Everything was very tasty, the restaurant and bathrooms were clean, and all of the staff was so nice! I highly recommend eating here! read more

Pho Phi - Soup Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

Good food but, ordered on uber eats times in the past and ordered again and it was canceled within 10 minutes because of being "busy" but when I called the lady I spoke to informed me they are not busy and don't do uber eats (though i've gotten it in the past), but it's available and ready to order online. So i go online, and they are "not accepting deliveries". Very very frustrating as a nurse on her day off just not wanting to leave the house! read more

Came here few times, so far I've tried Pho, Vermicelli Bowl and the Grilled Pork Rice Plate. I was pretty satisfied with the food, the serving was pretty big and the price was reasonable. I would come here whenever I'm craving for Vietnamese food since it's close to where I live but I wish the food was more flavorful though! read more

Pho Phi - Grilled Pork Rice Plate - Soup Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

There is better in town, but louisville is drowning in pho options. This place is solid. We were very happy and will be back as we work in the area. Bright and modern, great service. Kid friendly (seriously our toddler got no shortage of attention). If youre out shopping in st matthews it is well worth the stop. Did not expect the grilled pork to be as good as it was. Spicy broth, means actually spicy. read more

tl;dr - AUTHENTIC, DELICIOUS VIETNAMESE FOOD! What a nice surprise! With only a few days to visit and hangout with family, it was perfect timing that Pho Phi just opened! Service- 4/5. Since it's a new place, my server wasn't the quickest. But they were super friendly and attentive! Drink- 5/5. It's hard to find a place that doesn't make their Vietnamese coffee too bitter or sweet. So I was super impressed with the quality and balance of Pho Phi's Vietnamese coffee! I am honestly drooling just thinking about it! I will most likely have to drop by for a to-go drink before I fly back home! Food- 5/5. You can't go to a pho restaurant and not try their pho. It's their speciality! For my selection, their Pho Dac Biet was the BOMB DOT COM. Aside from how packed and loaded the dish was, the broth tasted flavorful and savoury! There was no MSG- aftertaste. Each bite tasted better than the next! Totally worth it! I would definitely recommend Pho Phi! I can't wait to come back and try other dishes! read more

Food is good but service is poor. Do not order carry out if you order in-person. They apparently prioritize dine in customers, and we received our food after people who ordered well after us had already finished their meals. Wait staff also very rude and not apologetic at all. For this horrid experience, we also got to pay their "carry out fee" for each ordered entree while trying to keep a 3 year old entertained read more

I was pretty excited to have a Pho place opening close to me. I love Pho but not necessarily driving across town to get a good bowl. Pho Phi is new, so I'll give them that. The food is sub par. I'm not sure they'll make it in a city that lives and breathes great, creative, tasteful food. Unfortunately, I was not impressed with my food. Having said that, I am keeping in mind that it is a new restaurant and may venture back out after a few months. read more

Good spot for lunch or casual dinner while shopping in the area. I had the Honey Tofu Siriracha which as very good. The atmosphere is very casual where you order at the front counter and they bring your food to the table. The portions are large and affordable but we went after a day of shopping and we all finished our meal. read more

Great food and counter service. Ambiance is what you would expect in a strip mall. Vermicelli noodle bowls are tasty and decently priced. They will not charge you more for extra sauce which is a huge plus! read more

I've been here 4 times since it opened a couple weeks ago. The food is great, good price, good portions and I like the system of service. Plus the owner is the sweetest. Everyone loves the feeling of mom serving them good food and that's what this place feels like. Finally some good Pho! read more

Pho Phi - Pho 1 : eye round steak - Soup Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

Really good Vietnamese comfort food. I'm glad to find this place because Louisville is lacking some good authentic Vietnamese restaurant. I got the bun bo hue and it's close to home fun! The space is big and staff there are friendly. You order up front and they'll bring the dish to you. I've had the bun bo and combo rice plate there and both did not disappoint. The bun bo could be a little bit spicier and meaty but that's my preference because I love to eat. If you're in town looking for some good Vietnamese comfort food, this place is a good spot to go to! read more

Pho Phi - Soup Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

Not good at all.... Ordered brisket pho. Broth tasteless. Got some wilted basil and some bean sprouts. Didn't eat much of it

Flavorful pho and very large portions! A great place for an affordable meal with plenty of leftovers. The large pho bowl is definitely big enough for 2 people to split. read more

Really really good, what a gem! It's a super new restaurant that's still working out the kinks, which I completely understand, having a family restaurant as well. I went in for the Pho Dac Biet, and my friend got the vermicelli bowl with grilled pork & egg rolls. My pho was so so delicious!! The broth was very flavorful and the toppings were definitely authentic to how pho is usually made. My friend also liked what she got and finished the whole thing, and she's a picky eater. Just a tip for those who've never had pho before: the "eye-round steak" (aka Tai) always comes rare in authentic pho and cooks right in the hot broth. It's sliced super thin and cooked in the broth to ensure maximum flavor and freshness! Pho Tai & add on of the meatballs is always my go-to, so I'm glad I know Pho Phi can do this right. All in all, the portions were really fair for the price point (I had to take leftovers home) and I'm so glad I took a chance with this place. 1000% will be coming back!!! read more

First, I love pho and I believe the broth makes it. This place does not disappoint. My go to is always chicken. A small is plenty for me to consume. I love adding fresh basil, sprouts, and a squeeze of lime. read more

The Pho here is good, maybe not great but good BUT...here is the problem. The broth they serve on take out is HOT, very hot. They put it in a plastic container. WHY? Please, do not put hot broth in plastic. You can taste the plastic and it certainly is not healthy. If it is a takeout, the broth does not have to be hot. Just luke warm will do. We can warm it more when we get home. Thanks. read more

Great Pho! I had been looking for a "go to" Pho restaurant and now I have it. The food was great and so was the service. I accidentally dropped my spoon, before I could ask, one was delivered. read more

Excellent choice for Pho lovers....especially those on the go! Our food and service were excellent and very quick. I ordered the Vegetable Pho and it was fantastic! Full of veggies that were bright, colorful and fresh. My husband got the Meatball Pho and he ate every single bite. Definitely will be returning and highly recommend coming here! Lots of great options and pleasant staff. read more

Pho Phi - Veggie Pho - Soup Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

My fiancé was desperate for some pho, so we gave this place a try with some friends. Inside was very neat and clean, and it wasn't terribly crowded. The customer service was hit or miss - one of the girls was super kind and attentive while the other seemed annoyed we were there and even rolled her eyes at one point. The two of us who got pho were very pleased and said it was good. The other two of us who got rice and noodle dishes were terribly disappointed. The food was cold and severely lacking in seasoning/taste. All in all, if you're coming here strictly for pho you should be okay. Anything else will likely be a real disappointment. read more

Egg rolls are bomb!!! Definitely recommend the vermicelli bowl with pork and 2 egg rolls

This place was a great new find in St.Matthews. The service was good and quick and the food was delicious! We enjoyed the spring rolls and eggs rolls as an appetizer. Those in itself were filling. The pho and the vermicelli bowls were flavorful too. The regular sized bowls were huge and were filling. The vermicelli bowl could have probably had more shrimp in it, but that would be my only complaint. Everything was delicious and we'll be back soon! read more

Clean strip mall spot with good ambiance but mediocre food. Egg rolls had good flavor but were not crisp or crunchy. The grilled pork was dry and lacked flavor. The eye-round and brisket pho had a nice broth but generally lacked punch. read more

I'm always looking for good Phó around town. This is not the place to go for that. It's not necessarily horrible. I definitely ate it and it's a decent sized portion for the price, but just barely has any flavor. I got the eye round steak Phó and I had to add about two tablespoons of hoisin sauce, a good tablespoon of sriracha, two limes, pepper, soy sauce, AND the sauce from my spring rolls to get it to taste like anything. After doctoring it up it was pretty okay, but don't feel like I should have to add quite that much to make something have even the slightest bit of flavor. As for the pork and shrimp spring rolls, they were decent enough. The serving size was big, which I liked, and the sauce was extra yummy (which would be why I added it to my soup). All in all, probably won't be coming back. If you want great Phó, go to Phó Cafe on Bardstown Road. By far the best I've had around here. Their beef short ribs are also out of this world. read more

I was very impressed with this restaurant. The chicken pho is delicious. The prices are very reasonable I purchased a large bowl of pho for under $13. Customer service was great and friendly. I look forward in trying more delicious Pho entrees. read more

Ordered through postmates and order was incorrect and missing items. Upon calling I was greeted with a very rude explanation and gaslighting. Used to love this place but quality has significantly gone down and their customer service is atrocious. The lady hung up on me when asked for her name. I'm honestly flabbergasted that they treat their customers this way. Super gross. read more

I had the eye-round beef Pho (soup). Broth is tasty comes with beef, noodles and onion. The side plate includes bean sprouts, cilantro, lime, jalapeños and mint leaves. Adding these to the soup changes the flavors dramatically which I thought was pretty cool. The large bowl is way to big. Regular size should be fine for most everyone. read more

Pho Phi - Thursday Lunch - Soup Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

First thing I noticed when I walked in was Asian people enjoying the atmosphere and the food and when you're looking for ethnic food that's a great start! The food was delicious and inexpensive with plenty of free parking and in the middle of Saint Matthews perfect. I really enjoyed the food with plenty of choices and staff was friendly and timely! read more

I absolutely love pho... like mildly obsessed... these guys do it right... it's been a couple months since I was there and I still remember it... I've even had pho since from another place... it's that good... the service was on point too... I'll definitely be back... read more

I hope this place works out the kinks because they were very slow and the food was nothing memorable. The menu has a decent amount of pho and vermicelli options, and the location is convenient, but I will wait a while before I try them again. I waited over 10 minutes behind 2 other people to have my order taken - there was a lot of confusion with the person ringing up the orders. My Diet Coke was only refilled after about an hour of me hanging out in the restaurant working on my laptop (there was hardly anyone there) - if you ask for tips and people provide them in advance, drink refills should be offered. I had the B4 - vermicelli bowl with pork and shrimp - it was fine. Definitely go out to Lemongrass if you can make it a little farther out in St. Matthews. read more

I am a very picky eater. I had the chicken pho with rice noodles. I added soy and Sriracha to my pho. I added my saucer of complimentary food items such as green chilies, basil and would have asked for additional onions, basil and green onions; will on next visit. The broth was just right and the chicken was well done as in, I could chew the tender meat and not be disturbed by hitting rubbery pieces. I will visit again, LW. read more

It is an order first then sit kind of set up. Everything was quite organized. I ordered their Thai tea and it was super good. I finished it before my food even came out. I ordered the Pho with chicken. It was quite tasty and the portion was pretty big. I was unable to finish the bowl. read more

Pho Phi - Soup Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

Best pho in town, I have tried many and this is by far the most delicious and consistent. I grew up in the restaurant industry and I know that it can be difficult to run a tight ship and ensure that recipes remain consistent, this is the very reason that keeps me coming every time. Well done Pho Phi!! read more

Was ok. There wasn't anything that made it stand out. Staff was not that helpful and seemed upset I came in as only person there.

The pho is really delicious, so flavorful. I had the vegetable broth, which had a nice spicy punch and was very satisfying. The owner came around to speak with customers, which I thought was a nice touch. She explained that they make the pho in the traditional way, cooking it for 10 hours. That care really came through. Also, the service was helpful and considerate, the space clean and pleasant with lots of windows and natural light. read more

When I went, the three main employees on the floor were not properly wearing their masks. They either had them hanging by an ear or pulled down to their chin. When I tried to ask them about it, they defended it and did not even apologize. I am really disappointed with their disregard for following COVID guidelines. read more

My favorite Pho spot in Louisville and while my stay in Fort Knox -- my buddy and I drove 45-55 minutes to come eat at this place, at least once a week... because it was that good. Growing up with close Vietnamese friends of mine and knowing the best flavor of Pho, I would say that Pho Phi is the best you can get around here. I would recommend the Large Beef Brisket and an order of Spring Rolls or Egg Rolls. Make sure to consume a lot of water after though, you will thank me later. read more

One of the best pho restaurant in town! Whether it's done-in or to-go, PhoPhi delivers quality food every time! Their broth is amazing and their meat/seafood is very flavorful! Their staff is always friendly and helpful as well. Due to covid ive been ordering takeout and I love that they have all the ingredients so my noodles won't get soggy! Highly recommend! read more

Great Pho! So much more flavorful than other more highlighted Pho's in town. Also, you can get shrimp pho. Reasonably priced! It's our go to Pho place now. read more

Ate here again today and got the Shrimp Pho and absolutely discussing. The shrimp was dirty ( vein still left in most of it)! No more Pho Phi for me! read more

My wife had the spicy beef noodle. It was horrible. I had the special Pho you think that they ran out of meat. I mostly wanted tripe and tendon there was two tiny pieces of tendon (about the size of a teaspoon) and one tiny piece of tripe. Not only was it overpriced the food was horrible all of it. Cheap bastards. The vegetables we got were wilted. I guess if you didn't know Vietnamese food you would eat. But if you do know Vietnamese food you won't come back. Do not recommend this place at all. read more
