Spring rolls
Alex K.

Pho Tam is our favorite restaurant for pho. We love coming here. We love that they have a variety of different sizes for pho. The servers are family and they make us feel like family every time we come in. It's a very welcoming crowd. The music in the restaurant is always peaceful and it sets a very calm environment. I always love all the paintings that they have showcasing Vietnamese culture. We're so happy this restaurant is in our area. Please give them a shot. Their food is amazing with flavor and such a great value. Their broth always feels just right. In their beef portions are always generous.

We returned to Pho Tam after a long absence. I'm not sure why it took so long, but we came back in a big way with an extended family party of 10 to enjoy a celebration dinner. It was a very nice and relaxed venue for such and our servings were delicious and generous and good values. Chris Tam was the friendly and energetic owner on duty, and he and his staff took good care of our party. Their space is airy and comfortable and on a warm evening, it was comfortable dining - not too warm and not too cold as some places can be. We ordered an appetizer plate as well as a variety of pho bowls and rice dishes. They have a kid's pho bowl but it's still sizeable at $14.95 versus a regular pho bowl with 1 meat at $16.45. I personally very much enjoyed my BBQ short rib with rice plate and the grilled flavor was rich and tasty. You can peruse the photos and itemized bill for what we had, but the total bill for our party of 10 was a very reasonable $247.38 and which included the mandatory and well deserved 18% gratuity. Thank you Chris and continued good luck!

If you're looking for fantastic Vietnamese food, this is the place to go. The Pho is authentic and never disappoints. Our favorites are the fresh shrimp spring rolls and the lemongrass chicken bahn mi sandwich. The staff is very friendly and the dining area has plenty of seating, so bring along as many as you want. Highly recommended!

Chicken banh mi
Tricia D.

First time visit here. A few knocks: - the appetizer platter was served with a long black hair on one of the spring rolls. It also had A VERY pungent fish sauce smell, which was not a pleasant aroma when served. I would say the star of the appetizer offerings was the eggrolls. - while the banh mi was served on a crusty French baguette, and the meat tasted savory, it didn't taste super fresh, and I was left with that bloated feeling of having consumed too much MSG for the rest of the evening. - our orders were taken in a disorganized manner, and the food was served in the same way. The waitstaff didn't know who ordered what, causing some confusion, and it would have been nice to have plates delivered to the proper seat with ease. - the space (a former Pizza Hut) is dated I did appreciate the extensive menu, with lots of pho choices and hot entrees. There are also a few kid sized pho options.

Pho Tam is our go to every time we are in the area! Portion sizes are huge.. food comes out hot and delicious! Would definitely recommend coming here for a nice meal!

Pho 3 meats
Vi D.

Did takeout pho 3 meats. Best pho I have found so far in the area! Very authentic. Generous portions. Great noodle to meat ratio. Restaurant looks clean. Can't wait to dine in next time!!

It was pretty quiet when I went for lunch, but I don't see why. I was seated right away and the staff was very friend, welcoming, and attentive. The restaurant was very clean as well. I ordered the pho. The portion was larger than what I usually see. It was rich, full of flavor, and delicious. The meat was tender and the veggies were fresh. It hit the spot. This is a spot I'll be visiting again.

Bun bu hue
Junyu Z.

This place is pretty good - overall the flavors are there and pretty bold so I'm pleased about that. They give you a good amount of veggies and beef so that's a plus. I would just say for the bon bu hue the broth can be spicier and also add in pork blood and pork knuckle. Outside of that, this is a good place for pho in Nile's. Can still improve on the bon bun hue though

My coworker and I stopped by where for lunch because we were in the mood for pho. The broth is not bad. It's beefy and flavorful, but I did find it a tad salty for me. I had the rare meat, meatballs, and tendon. They give a lot of meat though so that's good. They also cut the tendon in big pieces too. Usually they only give a few pieces at other places so that's nice they give a good amount of meat. They seem like really nice people and the place is nice and clean. The parking lot is a little weird though but it's just the plaza haha parking is like around the back.

Pho Oax tail is phontastic, added extra tendon, beef, and tripe

Nice cozy place with delicious Pho. If you like the authentic flavor totally recommending this place.

Bun bo hue
Krista Y.

Amazing broth with generous portions. I've only tried one menu item so far, but this was the bun bo hue flavour I've been looking for. Cafe Hoang has good bun bo hue, but it's a little too sweet for my preference. The one here doesn't come with pig's feet or pig's blood, but there's plenty of beef and pork roll. I guess these cuts of meat make the dish more approachable. I almost felt like there was more meat than noodle. I kept eating the beef, but I kept finding more at the bottom. Also, not sure what it is, but I loved the pork roll they used. There's a noticeable depth and complexity to the broth here that's missing from a lot of the pho restaurants in the area. Good balance of spices too. Since I ate here before the dinner rush, I don't know how busy it normally gets. My food came quickly and I was out the door soon after finishing my food. Prices are a little higher than usual, but it all makes sense when you consider the portion size and labor to make a broth with that flavour. I'm excited to come back and try everything else!

Steak Pho

I stopped in here for a quick lunch and I'm so happy I did. I was warmly greeted and told to have any table by the window. These are all set for 2 or maybe 3 so I happily picked out a table with a view. I settled on the beef for my 1st time here, ordered medium rare. It was pink on arrival and quickly cooked the rest of the way. I was served a lovely platter of bean sprouts, peppers, etc to add right into the hot soup. In a flash, the soup appeared emitting an aromatic fragrance to be enhanced with the fresh vegetables and herbs. Truly tasty, full of flavor ready to customize to your tastes. Hot sauce and soy sauce are on the table. I like a fairly low salt content in my food and this was just about right. The bowl was so big and the meat so delicious and tender, I had to take half of it home and now I have dinner to look forward to.

Indoor dining

I'm not super cultured about these things, but I think Pho Tam is pretty good. It used to be an old Pizza Hut and they turned it into a sort of open layout restaurant that's very square in design. Enough about the look though. The pho portions are good and the broth is tasty and served piping hot. The cost is based on the number of meats you add, so you can go small or go big. There's basil and bean sprouts that cook up in that hot soup. We also got the prawn rolls (I think) and surprised to see some sort of root veg in there. Delightfully surprised. I think it was taro? I admit I've often gotten the pho there so I haven't branched out to the other dishes. The service is tiny inconsistent. You might need to flag someone down to get the sprouts or something, but it's no big thing.

We were headed to another Chinese restaurant only to discover it had no indoor seating, and we had…read morepassed this restaurant on the way, so we turned around and came back here. We're so glad we did! I had originally planned to have pho, but after I looked at the menu I decided that the fried noodle dishes were more what I wanted this time. We'll come back for the Pho another time. We ordered an appetizer and two entrées, although we had to remind the server about the appetizer after the entrées came. This was quickly rectified. The menu had a nice variety of both Vietnamese and Chinese dishes, as well as sushi. Our order started with the Gyoza (six pan-fried dumplings), which were fresh, hot, and very good once they came (after the entrees). The sauce with them was a little different than a traditional sweet-and-sour, but very tasty. We both had Crispy Egg Noodles dishes, mine with beef and vegetables, and my husband's with the chicken, shrimp, beef, & squid combination. We were surprised to find out that "crispy egg noodles" were the same as what we know as Chow Mein Noodles, like you can buy in a can at the grocery store. We were expecting fresh noodles fried crispy. But once the sauce soaked into them they softened and were fine. Next time, though, I think I'll try one of the soft egg noodle dishes instead. The real star of the entree was the meat, vegetable and sauce stir-fry that topped the noodles. The beef was tender, plentiful, and flavorful, and the types of vegetables (broccoli, bok choy, sprouts, celery, and carrots) were exactly what I like in a dish like this. The soy-based sauce was flavorful without being too strong or salty. Truly, other than the surprise with the noodles, everything was perfect. The portions were huge, so we each brought half home to eat later. They sell Japanese bottled sodas, but we opted instead for cans of Coke and Diet Coke respectively. Maybe next time I'll try the Japanese grape soda. Service was pleasant and attentive, and our food arrived quickly. The inside seating area is large, clean, and comfortable, and the restroom was also roomy and clean. We enjoyed it, and will definitely go back.

The drink options aren't huge. It's not a place you linger or have a conversation. The onion rings are nice and crispy but for me I don't like the huge batter centric rings. I like a light batter with crunch so you can taste the onion. The fires are just okay. Most were a bit soggy for me.
