Good eats right here. My heart was set on the pho' but I ended up with the pad Thai. Definitely no complaints since my better half got the pho'. Best of both worlds. They also have Chinese cuisine but only on week days. Will be going back for sure. read more

Oh wow!!! I have never been to this place and had no idea about it but wow. It looks normal from the outside but the second you walk in it feels like a high level restaurant. It is so nice and clean and well laid out. The service is always my main attraction and they were seriously perfect. The main young man that walked me to my table actually slid my chair back as a very polite gentleman. Then he and even another lady server were both completely perfect the entire time for real. The Pho and the spring rolls were all perfect flavor too. This place is the best for real. read more

Service is quick, courteous, and attentive at Pho Place. Located in a giant strip mall off 280, it's convenient to get to with plenty of parking. The PHO TAI NAM GAN comes out steaming hot. The meat tastes fresh and the noodles are bouncy and plentiful. Unfortunately the broth here is as quiet as a mouse. It definitely needs to be amped up in the aromatics department. I proceeded to doctor my soup with chili sauce, chili oil, sriracha, hoisin, and limes. The BUN CHA GIO, NEM NUONG comes in a large bowl of fresh veggies like lettuce and carrots; however, the egg rolls fall flat. They are pale and only slightly crisp. You want to hear that crunch when you bite in! They do have an extensive lunch menu of Chinese American food, if you prefer that. Not as authentic of a Vietnamese restaurant as it could be. But it does cater to the Pan Asian crowd. The interior is welcoming and clean throughout. read more

We moved to AL a few months ago and have been searching for a great pho restaurant ever since. We finally found it in Pho Place and are thrilled! It's about an hour away from where we live, but we'll happily make the drive. Our food was great - fresh, tasty - and the restaurant is clean and very attractive. Service was great ... 5 stars all around! We'll be back soon ... read more

Great restaurant and great in a pinch. I came here with a friend because Saigon was closed (that's our go to) and it ended up being a great alternative. The service is very fast! Our food came out less than 10 min after ordering. I got the chicken pho and it was pretty good, nothing incredible. The noodles were a bit softer than I normally like and the chicken was a little hard to chew. The broth had a little bit of sweetness and some warm spices. I would come back if Saigon were closed again read more

Pho Place is a small but pleasant restaurant in a shopping plaza in Inverness, Alabama. My server was extremely friendly and professional and gave me a few suggestions. I opted to go with the pho (you can never go wrong with pho). I found the pho to be very good. The broth was good, the vegetables were fresh, the noodles tasty and the meat was very good. The pricing was good and my overall experience was incredibly positive. Since it is in a shopping plaza, parking was not an issue. Pho Place is a great Vietnamese restaurant and one that I would definitely recommend. I will give Pho Place five stars overall. read more

This pho place is such a hidden gem. The broth had amazing depth and wasn't overly oily. The beef brisket was incredibly soft and flavorful. The noodles were smooth and didn't clump together. Even the bean sprouts tasted fresh. I loved the cozy atmosphere--quiet enough to relax but lively enough to feel welcoming. Service was quick and polite. It's definitely a spot I'd return to.! read more

I came here after a long day and this pho really lifted my spirits. The broth had a deep, comforting flavor that reminded me of home. The beef was tender and sliced beautifully thin. The noodles stayed firm even after sitting in the broth for a while. I also appreciated how fresh the herbs were, they added great fragrance. The shop was clean, simple, and relaxing. The staff were kind and efficient. I left feeling warm, full, and satisfied. read more

Chargrilled pork spring rolls were delicious - so light and fresh. I could honestly just make a meal off of these. Chewy rice paper enrobed the perfect proportion of rice vermicelli, crispy shredded lettuce, and chargrilled pork. The peanut dipping sauce was perfection- so good I ate every last drop of it. Hot and sour soup was neither spicy nor sour. But it was served with fried wonton strips, which added some texture and flavor. General Tso's chicken was pretty bland. Soy sauce (salty) was the predominant flavor in the sauce. It was also pleasantly spicy (lip numbing) from a hefty addition of spicy dried peppers that were stir fried into the dish. Fried rice was light and good. It was a very generous portion of food and a good value for lunch. Service was quick and attentive. And he encouraged me to try the Vietnamese food the next time I came in, which I will happily do! read more

This was some of the best Vietnamese food I've ever had! We ordered pho and a Bún noodle dish-P2 and B2; B2 was my favorite and it was my first time trying Bún. The Bún was incredibly flavorful and it came with charbroiled pork and pork egg rolls. It was a sizable dish packed with flavor and toppings. The pho was delicious and it was served with tons of herbs that you could add to it. The menu is huge and there was so much I wanted to try. I can't wait to return. read more

Troph passed this place remaining years and decided to give it a try, and I was not disappointed! We got the Pho Ga, and Bun Bo Huey , in both was delicious! The pho ga broth was deep and flavorful! The Bun Bo Hue broth was just the right amount of spice! The meets in both were also plenty and flavorful! This place is a few dollars more pricey than your average pho restaurant, but worth the money! read more

Ordered to go before heading to Pell City. It's probably the worst banh mi nem nuong we have ever gotten. Plus, it's the most expensive at $10.99 each. The ones I get in New Orleans are much cheaper at $7, but the best tasting. Here, the bread was over toasted, so it was super crispy/hard. My husband choked and coughed while trying to eat his. There's no mayo or pate. Only a small amount of soy sauce of some sort, like wow. I got 2 banh mi nem nuong and an order of goi cuon nem nuong. The goi cuon was very average and there was peanut sauce, the sauce was the best thing honestly. Usually, nem nuong goi cuon comes with a crispy stick inside, but this one only has shredded lettuce, noodles, and 2 thin slices of nem nuong in each roll, it's $6.99 for 2 rolls. I really can't believe I paid that much for the quality of the banh mi not even meeting average expectations. read more

When I tell you the Pho here is delicious, believe me when I say it! It's a no frills place but they have really good pho. The service is quick and they will explain anything to you that you need to know. They will even work with you to create if it's not exactly on the menu. I asked the waiter if they had any fish sauce...he said sure and brought it right out to me! This is a sign of great Pho !! If they have fish sauce in the building you are in the right place!!! read more

I was visiting Birmingham with my niece and we had a craving for Pho or Ramen. After checking Yelp, we decided on Pho Place. First, it was in a newer outdoor mall off of 280 which was close. When we walked in, we were creative and I looked on the place and it looked very clean my niece ordered chicken Pho and I ordered the thin sliced beef. She also got pork dumplings, which she said were delicious. They brought out the Pho fresh toppings which were wonderful and made for a really tasty Pho. We loved this place and decided that we will be back. My niece said it was the best Pho she ever had and she is pretty picky!! read more

We are loyalist of the Vietnamese place across the street, but decided to try Pho Place for lunch on a Sunday to see what we are missing. The service is decidedly unfriendly, but it is efficient. The interior is minimalist, clean, and warmly lit. Not a date night spot by any stretch! Prices are higher than average but the food was very good. Kids pho (KM1) comes without greenery which my child loved. The broth was extremely flavorful, complex, and deep. The B3 charbroiled pork noodle bowl was exceptionally fresh, sweeter than average, lacking fresh herbs, heavy on the peanuts (yum!), and very satisfying. Pork was not as flavorful as competitor but it was a juicy, sliced chop as opposed to shaved meat. B5 curry chicken noodle bowl was equally fresh, but also lacked herbs and didn't have much curry flavor. All-in-all it beat its neighbor in freshness and complexity of flavor, but fell behind in service, price, and some elements/ingredients. read more

It's very difficult to find local Vietnamese places that serve vegetarian-friendly broths, noodles, etc. so I was ecstatic when I saw Pho Place had options! The noodles & broth were so comforting and flavorful- their chili oil really made it. The restaurant itself is on the smaller and more casual side but it was perfect for a little catch up dinner with a friend. The whole staff was very kind and clearly puts lots of a care into the clientele. Will definitely be back to try more dishes!! read more

I wanted to introduce Pho to my bf but I wanted to make sure he had good Pho for the first time. I am new to Birmingham so I asked a friend for recommendations. She spoke highly of this place so we decided to go for it. The restaurant is quaint. The decor is not the best but it was clean and has tables and chair so that's all we need besides good food We both ordered the rare beef flank steak and brisket Pho and Vietnamese egg rolls. The rolls were pretty big! The outside was flaky and crispy. The filling was tasty (rice noodles, ground pork and small pieces of carrot and cabbage). The soup was great! Very aromatic. The broth was a little on the bland side but a dash of salt and some Sriracha took care of that. The noodles were perfectly cooked. The meat was tender and plentiful. We also shared a Thai iced tea...best one I've had in a very long time! The best part of it was that my bf LOVED it! Mission accomplished. Looks like we found our Pho spot!! read more

After moving here from California, I've been going here and another Vietnamese place on 280 near by. I was in search of the best Vietnamese restaurant. After comparing the two, I feel like pho place is the most authentic. I love their pho and other Vietnamese dishes are great. They even serve Chinese food which I've tried. Their Chinese food is actually one of the better ones than some other Chinese restaurants in Birmingham IMO. I am always hesitant of trying new dishes and being disappointed. Because I have ordered at other Vietnamese places before in bhm and other Asian places. After some convincing advice from the waiter, I tried their pork chop and rice and it was great. The pork chop is thicker than the Vietnamese kind but the flavor was there. It came with the side soup and a Vietnamese steam egg and shredded pork. Today I tried their banh mi. Bread was soft and fresh with all the fixings in a banh mi should have. It was very yummy. Now I'm not afraid to order anything here. You will not be disappointed. I can say after living in Birmingham for two years, pho place is the best Vietnamese restaurant in town. It reminds me of back home (ca) and it doesn't disappoint. The only thing I wished was that they brought back the smoothies (I love avocado smoothies) and some of there dishes they had in the past I see in photos years back. read more

I'm 7 months pregnant and their pho helped with my morning sickness! Haha slight exaggeration but really, their pho with brisket and rare slices of meat (P6) is excellent. The broth is so clear and herbal, but not overly rich. I was feeling nauseous and hadn't been able to keep much of anything down, but this really did help me feel so much better. Plus it's really comforting during these cold winter months. My husband also finished his bowl and was blown away at how delicious it is. The portion sizes are very generous. And every soup bowl is served with a side plate of Thai basil, cilantro, bean sprouts, and jalapeño slices. You can customize your bowl with these additions and hoisin sauce or sriracha. read more

Ethnic food is hard to judge from a Western "Southern" heritage. Having spent some time in Vietnam I have a fondness for the people, culture and food. From the clientele I'm thinking the food has a homey feel. Go too's : Fried Egg Rolls, Fried Shrimp Rolls, got to have some fish sauce, noodle bowls and Pho of all kinds. read more

The best pho spot in town The soup is always hot and they have the clear spring rolls that are such a great add on. The regular size is big enough for me and I can barely finish it. With all the spices and fresh herbs it's the icing on the cake. The staff were also very attentive and friendly. I have come here many times before and will continue to do so in the future. read more

I came here for lunch one day because I had a taste for it. The place reminded me of the one on Green Springs that I use to go to. The place was soooo good, I really enjoyed it. I didn't eat inside but the place was very open. I told the server of the noodles I wanted because I couldn't think of the name of it. The server helped me with the name of it. The food was so delicious and I enjoyed all of it. I will definitely be back when I'm looking for lunch again. read more

Amazing food and great service. The food is authentic and the servers are very attentive.

i went there a while back and my pho was cold and the noodles and vegetables were stuck together, my sisters food was completely icy like it just came out of the fridge. the taste was mediocre, the service wasn't good, would recommend any other pho place because any of them are better vibe wise. we got stared at the whole time by our server sitting across from us. wasted $50. read more

So,... I came here when it first opened 2-3 years ago and it was horrific!! That said, I came because my friend brought me back. And surprisingly, much better. Past 3 times, I came back for one thing. Pork Chop! First two was good. Last time, I had to send it back because it wasn't cooked all the way. I'll try one more time but stuff like this is how you loose a loyal customer. read more

I've put this restaurant on my weekly rotation. Every time I've been here the service and food is great. Very authentic. The menu is big. It took me a while to decide what I wanted.
