    Beef Brisket, Rare Steak and Tendon Pho
    Cleo P.

    This is the tastiest Pho that I've tried so far! The egg roll was good too! The lady was nice and knew what we needed for the kids. Tho we had to wait for a long time for our orders. This is the second time we tried here and still the same, but maybe because we went there before 8PM. We're still happy that we were accommodated even though they close at 9 PM.

    Bah ni  grilled pork

    I been on a haunt for the best bah ni sandwich in EP and honestly this was mixed feelings. The bread looks like it was cut in half from a full loaf which was confusing since it's usually a full loaf sandwich in most places(the loaf reminded me of the 1 dollar loaf breads in Walmart for some reason) .Yet how stuffed the sandwich was made up for that. The cabbage and spicy mayo was a great touch to the sandwich. The only thing was the meat didn't have wasn't that seasoned like I tasted in other places. It was 13 dollars so most high price bah ni I have bought so far.I give it 7.5 good sandwich just more seasoning in the meat please. The server was super nice tops to her.

    Found this place by word of mouth. We ordered a shrimp roll as an appetizer. For meals we got pho and Korean ribs. This place is a small establishment but is decorated very nice. More important than the decoration the food was fantastic! The service was attentive but please be patient as everyone seems to be short staffed. Food will be worth the wait.

    Spring Roll with Shrimp

    Delicious broth! And very heart seafood pho. Springroll with shrimp was perfect. Ordered this through door dash

    Chicken Noodle Pho

    I like this place a lot. The Pho tastes really good and portion sizes are large. I got a small chicken pho and an order of the fried egg rolls. Everything was super filling. The place seems not to get a ton of foot traffic like some other places and that's probably cause it seems a bit set back from the road. They also look closed due to all the tint on the windows but they are open and ready to serve.

    Years back I use to visit this location a lot. Never had an issue always positive experiences. Tasty Pho, nice inside decor, private, and good costumer service. Recently I visited for their Bobba Tea bar. Bobba has lots of calories but loved it. The restaurant could be in a better location and get more costumers but for now I consider it a hidden Gem.

    Place looks ugly outside but looks nice inside. Food is okay Pho was tasty good flavor just very small meat portion you get like 3-4 pieces of thin cut meat. Teriyaki chicken plate is decent serving. Just veggies have no taste seems frozen or something, chicken as well. Teriyaki sauce is good.

    Herbs for Pho. Only includes bean sprout, cilantro, lime, and jalapeno slices.

    My family and I tried searching for places and didn't see many Vietnamese restaurants in El Paso since we just passing by the city. So we decided to give this place a try. When we arrived a little after opening, the waitress was still setting down chairs and didn't have everything prepare by opening time. When she gave us the menu, I was disappointed that there was not any Vietnamese written anywhere on the menu for an "authentic" Vietnamese restaurant. Another disappointment was that they do not sell Vietnamese iced coffee. Food: 1/5 - I ordered Pho #16 in the menu which has well done brisket, rare steak, and tendon. When I plate of veggies came out, I was surprised how little herbs that gave for six people only has bean sprouts, cilantro, lime, and jalapeno slices. Where are the basil and culantro?? When the bowl of pho was placed in front of me, I was let down once again. There was too much broth and barely any noodles and barely any meat for this large bowl. (If you look closely in my picture, they added a leaf of basil in the pho.) We had to request for more basil, and even then, it was not enough for all of us. As for service, it seemed like the waitress wasn't thrilled to wait for our table at all. Overall, I would skip out on all the Vietnamese food here since I know for sure Houston has better food and service for the price! This place is a miss for me.

    Rare Steak Pho - Tiramisu Cake - Boba Tea
    Kacie K.

    Not only we're they super accommodating- but they were also able to deliver! I had the rare-steak Pho, boba, and tiramisu. The pho broth was AMAZING! Probably one of the best I've had in the state of Texas. The boba was on the sweet side but definitely hit the spot. Don't get me started on the tiramisu - probably one of the biggest slices and best desserts I've had from a Pho place. Definitely recommend!

    This is my wife's & me first visit to this outstanding eatery; we were celebrating over 36 years of being together! We entered and easily found a booth, but the table had not yet been wiped down so we quickly moved to another clean table. It seems as though they are short on staff--I noted several uncleared tables/booths. Anyway, waitress Esther soon brought us menus; when she returned with our ice waters we ordered the 4-piece egg roll appetizer. It was delicious! Our entrees were a Vietnamese Sandwich with Tofu and a Teriyaki Chicken bowl, both extremely tasty. The restaurant has a nice ambience and NO overpowering background music. The decor are poster-sized images of pastoral scenes in Vietnam, and the realistic slender bamboo alongside the West wall are actually very good imitation. Overall, I enjoyed eating here and look forward to returning. It has my "Wheel of Approval!"

    Well Phô So? Fo Sho... I like this spot. Won't sit here and lie to you and say it's the best Phô I've had. I won't sit here and lie to you and say it's the best location in town... However, as far as quality goes, it MIGHT be the best, of the few, Phô places in the EPT. The area is kinda whack.. Jammed in between a restaurant and a 24 hr laundromat, but INSIDE is actually rather nice. One waitress, place is rarely packed. Menu is to the point. Service is fast. Food tastes great and is a very good sized portion for the price. We've been twice and for sure will go 3-5 more times. We've been to a few, and for now, this is our go-to Phô place. Not too mention, they serve Blue Bell ice cream... How can you beat that? Anyways.. It's worth a check out. If you're craving Phô that is. As feel free to go heavy on the Sriracha.. I always do..

    I'm still uncertain if this place is called Pho So or Pho So 1 because I've seen it written both ways. Either way, it's a good place to grab some pho at a reasonable price. So why not a higher rating? The menu as a whole and customer service could use a little work. I tried a couple of different things here and most were okay to good. Nothing out of this world, just exactly what I'd expect them to be. The Charbroiled Pork dish was not among this list. I've had Charbroiled Pork from a lot of different Vietnamese restaurants so I may be no expert, but I know a good dish when I taste one. If Tyson Chicken made Tyson Pork, this is what would be served at Pho So. It just had an unnatural taste and texture to it. Not very fond of it. While I ate my Charbroiled Tyson Pork, I listened to Show Me by Chris Brown featuring Kid Ink. Actually, when I walked in Show Me was playing and I thought PS was playing the radio. Weird, but okay. I'm not stereotyping, a Vietnamese restaurant can play whatever kind of music they want, but when you put so much work into the decor why ruin the ambiance with American hip-hop. The interior design really does do a good job of making you feel like you're at least outside of El Paso. So back to what I was saying about Show Me. Shortly into my meal Show Me came on again. Huh? I've only been here maybe half an hour...if that. Then another song started to play and I noticed a server run over to the counter, push something and immediately Show Me came on again. There were families eating there with small children. I certainly don't know what other patrons listen to when they're in their car, but what I do know is Show Me is not the song you want to hear REPEATEDLY while eating with your family. And just in case you aren't familiar with Show Me, here's a snippet of the lyrics: "Baby let me put your panties to the side, I'mma make you feel alright cause I'mma give you what you need...I could tell you a freak, go show it. Lookin for the after party, where the door at? Go on the floor like a doormat..." I don't even know what that last part means, but you get my point. Some servers where better than others. My server took my order and brought my food out, but I had to have other servers refill my cups and get the check. PS really just needs to set better guidelines for it's employees. 3 stars because the pho is good and a huge portion. And really that's what you're going to Pho So for.

    First time eating here. Service and food were amazing! I had the new fish dish and it was tasteful…read moreand delicious. I had them add chile to make it extra spicy. My family had pho, egg rolls and fried rice and they were all yummy as well. Will definitely return and recommend to families and friends!

    I'm leaving this review to share a serious safety concern with a recent takeout order…read more I ordered a soup and a dessert through DoorDash, and the soup container (it was a DRINK container sealed with TAPE) melted from the heat, causing the food to spill and burn my husband's leg. This resulted in an actual injury, his leg is blistering from how bad it was, it is not just an inconvenience. We only received a $5.00 refund and a $10.00 credit for a $19.00 product that didn't only ruin our night, it caused an injury. What was most disappointing was the response when I contacted the restaurant. There was no apology, no acknowledgment of the injury, and no indication that they would even review whether the packaging met appropriate safety or legal guidelines for extremely hot broth. I was simply told to go through DoorDash, which felt dismissive given the circumstances. I understand accidents can happen, but situations involving injuries should be handled with care, accountability, and basic concern for customer safety. I hope this feedback encourages safer packaging practices and a more responsible (and empathetic) response when issues like this are reported.

We've been a few times with 4 people which is a great size to bring here. The waitresses are very kind and helpful. They make all their sauces in house and everything we've ordered has been great. I prefer it to the other Vietnamese spots in the area. I really enjoyed the spicy dishes. I wish they made things a little hotter but I understand not wanting to blow anyone's tastebuds out with spice. I will come back - can't wait to try the oxtail next time I'm in town.

We got there and were promptly seated and greeted by Salma, our server. Place wasn't crazy packed and the ambiance was nice. We started with the pork belly Spring rolls and they were delicious, fat and fresh and the peanut sauce was so good. I just added some chili sauce to the peanut sauce and it was perfect. My wife ordered the Chicken Rice Bowl and I ordered the All Meat Pho. My wife's plate arrived and it was a good sized portion and she said it was delicious. My pho arrived and it was a large bowl full of meat and the added bean sprouts, jalapeños and cilantro were just the touch needed. The broth was delicious, clean and very nice. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal and plan on returning. Great service, great ambiance and decent prices, can't go wrong.
