Pho Ever is a casual family-owned Vietnamese eatery in Lorain. My visit to this restaurant was not…read morepre-planned. I was in the area at the Lorain Library (main branch), and was craving a cozy meal. Pho Ever had a catchy name and was only a few minutes away (drive). What's more cozy than pho? I made a quick and good decision to visit. AMBIANCE: The restaurant is one open space simple cultural decor. The space well fits groups and single guests. Multiple comfy booths are available along one of the walls and there are plenty of tables. Decor includes Nón Lá (Vietnamese conical hats) around the perimeter of the restaurant, vases and flowers, wood carved rooster art, prosperity wall hanging with laughing Buddhas, and other decor typical of Asian restaurants. There is also a blue sky ceiling fragment. The atmosphere is very simple and casual. The restaurant is not the cleanest. That includes the floor, the bathrooms, the tables, and teapots. Everything could use a deep clean. FOOD/DRINKS: The menu features appetizers, rice plates, vermicelli stir-fry, pho, fried rice, ramen noodles, combination plates, and optional add-ons. Drinks were not on the menu. There are few pictures of the menu items to point you in the right direction. Each dish has alphanumeric value for simple ordering. I noticed that the prices are pretty value-oriented less than many other comparable restaurants. I ordered my default Vietnamese restaurant order - pho, rolls, and hot tea. More specifically, A3 (2 charbroiled pork rolls, $5), A4 (charbroiled chicken rolls, $5), P3 (pho with eye round steak and well-done brisket, $14), and jasmine tea ($2 for a tea pot). Rolls had a generous amount of meat. I loved pork rolls, but didn't like the chicken. I found it to be too dry. I did not use the accompanying sauces since spice is not my favorite. Pho included a large portion, plenty of meat, but the broth had some slightly lemony undertone that wasn't my favorite. Jasmine tea was perfectly hot and light. It was a very comforting meal due to hot tea and hot pho. I also loved that the food was delivered with a pouch with chopsticks, fork, spoon, and big spoon for pho. SERVICE: The service was very pleasant, quick, and accommodating. There was one waiter serving quickly filling dining room. He was excellent and very attentive! I was seated very quickly. My food impressively arrived within minutes. All other guests had all their questions answered with patience. Huge compliments on the service! The restaurant was extremely accommodating to groups. They expeditiously moved tables together for large dinner groups. I was at the restaurant before 6 PM and the restaurant was already almost full with more people pulling into the parking lot. It seems like it's a popular local destination. PARKING: There is plenty of parking available to customers. Dedicated parking lot rather than shared plaza arrangement. My experience was pretty positive. I was especially impressed with the excellent service. It wasn't the best Vietnamese food that I experienced, but pretty good for a casual Sunday meal. While I wouldn't go out of my way to travel here, I'd definitely stop in while in the area.

We opted to dine in and started with spring rolls. While a tad expensive, they were excellent, with a different flavour than other Thai places I've been to. Loved tge variation. We also ordered Chicken Pad Thai and Spicy Basil Chicken. The waiter (owner) asked if we like heat, which we do, so we got spicy everything. Food was excellent....full of intense flavours made with fresh ingredients. It was off the charts good. I lived in Toronto for 30+ years and love Thai food...this place ranks up there with the best I've had. Talking to the owner, he told us that his wife is the chef....her food is outstanding. The only downside is that they had no diet drinks. Will definitely be going back and highly recommend.

I arrived right before the lunch rush, which is good as they got very busy. I was seated immediately, and my order was taken right away. It seemed like they had a very small, but hard hustling staff. The gentleman who took my order was equal parts friendly and efficient. The restaurant seems to have a good amount of regulars from what I observed. My order came out amazingly quickly. I had shrimp fresh rolls, and my sliced beef pho came out just as I was finishing. I thought the fresh rolls were standard good, though maybe wrapped better than other places as I had no issues with the roll falling apart (as has happened elsewhere). The pho was wonderful, and just what my sinus needed. The beef was far less fatty than I've had elsewhere, but I also found it to be a bit overdone. I fully plan on returning another cold day.

Caterpillar roll 10/10 Really good. Didn't really taste the shrimp much, but the flavor profile and combination of ingredients was good. The spicy mayo was not really spicy, but it was a good flavor. Spider roll 8/10 I actually wasn't a huge fan, maybe I don't like soft shell crab as much as regular crab.

When I asked her how I can leave a tip (because there was no option to), she explained that this is a self-serve place, so tip is not needed. The stores at the airport even asks for tip, so I was pleasantly surprised and appreciated the notion. I ordered their pho dac biet. I was asked if I wanted a lot of noodles or not. I was taken aback by the question, so I told her just the normal amount is fine. She then shares that their portion is not big which is what she asks all her customers when they order pho. The bowl was quite sad looking, lacked green onions, cilantro, meats, and no kidding on the noodles. The broth was clean but lacked that beefy richness. The herbs were fresh and they offered jalapeno slices and a line wedge unlike the place I went to on Sunday. But for the price, I could not expect more.
